The Army Reserve is dedicated to serving its Soldiers in uniform, in the classroom and on the job. The Army Reserve’s Public Private Partnership Office (P3O) fosters and builds a nationwide network of corporate, profit/non-profit, and academic industry partners by providing Army Reserve Soldiers, veterans and spouses with employment and training opportunities that correlate with their military experience. This allows them to apply their expertise and skills in both their military and civilian careers.

P3O ensures Army Reserve Soldiers are succeeding in their civilian careers which directly benefits the Army and the Nation by bringing substantial value and depth to the force. These mutually beneficial relationships and opportunities enhance Soldier readiness and bring additional capabilities to the Army Reserve and the Nation. Private and public sector partners benefit from this partnership in a variety of ways:

The public sector gets access to the best, brightest, and most highly trained Army Reserve units and Soldiers.
Soldiers benefit by gaining access to unique training opportunities that help them in their military and civilian careers and help advance their leader readiness and individual readiness.
Philanthropic organizations or companies with philanthropic foundations have the opportunity to provide resources to respond to national emergencies and support peace and stability operations around the world in support of military commands and their work with civilian populations.

The P3O program aims to expand its reach by adding more partnerships across various industries. Since its inception, the program has successfully placed over 1,800 individuals in careers. Soldiers have increased opportunities to serve in real world missions working with local populations and integrating into larger, joint, and inter-agency teams. More than 87% of the force integrates military service with civilian careers, providing the Army with professional skills, education and expertise acquired in the private sector.

Some say the metaverse is a virtual world. Some say the metaverse is a blockchain. Some say the metaverse is an algorithm ……
It’s all a phenomenon. What is the essence?

Today in the courtyard of Prof. Li Jianjun’s home in ergonomics, the California sun shines, the birds sing, the pool is sparkling, and heaven and earth are in harmony. Several partners produced a collision of thoughts in a smooth conversation with their skills. A professor with great wisdom, an Iranian prince, a mathematician, a life water development team, a Hollywood producer, and the founder of the American University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, chatting about the meta-universe. Thanks to this wonderful day, I wrote this reflection on the meta-universe like a fountain of thought.

How did the metaverse come into being? Virtual space is the vehicle of expression, technology is just a tool, and the purpose is to allow people to experience a new sense of a more multidimensional world. What is the essence?
In general research, there is a consensus that the “metaverse” is a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates multiple new technologies.

The metaverse has existed for a long time, but the term “metaverse” has only recently become popular. In the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, human beings live in a three-dimensional virtual world through “Avatar” (digital avatar), which the author called “Metaverse”, or “metaverse”. With the epidemic isolation, remote social networking, virtual reality, other lifestyle changes, and rapid technology development, even Facebook caught the pulse of the times and changed its name to Metaverse. The world has to start paying attention.

In Chinese, “Yu” is space, “Zu” is time. The universe is composed of time and space. The world we live in is three-dimensional space plus time, that is, four dimensions. Moreover, the meta-universe has broken through the four dimensions. In the original universe, each person has a small world, and each person’s small world can be linked together without the limitation of time and space. Humans create the “metaverse”, but humans do not create it. It is also a cosmic train driven by human technology, human civilization, earth’s nurture, the laws of the universe, and even unknown forces. We are coming infinitely closer to the universe, to an infinitely expanding universe.

The universe is called the universe because of its great dimensionality, its breadth of inclusion, its infinite information, and the fact that it contains everything. The meta-universe is called the universe because it contains human beings’ life and spiritual carriers. In the spiritual world of human beings, they can travel to outer space. They can travel through time and space. They can travel to parallel universes …… Everything is possible. In other words, the meta-universe is where the unlimited potential of human beings is developed.

In this metaverse era, everyone is a creator, driver, and innovator, and everyone is building the content and meaning of the metaverse. The meta-universe is a new universe in the human dictionary, but it is not a universe created out of thin air but a spiritual world created by the masses throughout human civilization and wisdom.

Freud believed that dreams express man’s unfulfilled desires, and the meta-universe is the booster of dreams. The torrent of the times will wash away the way you dream.

In the meta-universe, you can lie on the sofa and lead a thousand armies to fight; you can view your dream lover is deep in love with you; you can lie in a hospital bed and ride a motorcycle and police race; you can occupy the land and money in a rented house that makes you rich; you can take potato chips and put on VR eyes to view yourself eating an entire banquet. People can travel to the ends of the earth without leaving home, to experience all kinds of things on earth.

Technology has pushed the way and convenience of human life, but technology is only a tool. Numerous technology companies have taken advantage of the winds of the meta-universe to fly into the sky and make a fortune. So what is the next wave?

Let’s imagine the future of the metaverse again, like a city where no one is visible, but people exist, in the form of information, everywhere. All people’s minds, life experiences, crystallized wisdom, and knowledge base, can be stored in the cloud and everything becomes transparent. The speed of information transfer, the change to rapidity, and the authenticity of the experience make all countries, cultures, religions, ethnicities, and people groups on the planet, no longer separated. The idea of money first is slowly being eliminated, and the prosperity of the spiritual world becomes the new wind of the future. Whoever can lead the spiritual world will hold the future. Furthermore, in the spiritual world, whoever can master the ultimate law of the universe can dominate the universe.

Some people say the spiritual world is firewood. Some say the spiritual world is trying to get money, some say the spiritual world is dream imagination, some say the spiritual world is communicating with ghosts and gods, and some say the spiritual world is saving the world. It’s like the blind man feeling the elephant, and in the end ,feeling the whole picture pieced together – everyone sees the original face of the elephant, from the smallest to the collective subconscious of humankind, to the collective subconscious of the universe. The meta-universe is still just a fragment, and you and I are all cutters.

People have gone so far in the earthly world that they almost forget that our spirit can be as bright as the stars, our potential can be as constant as the sun, our senses can be aware of everything in heaven and earth, we can penetrate the past, present and future, and we can travel through space at will. Human beings were originally one, human beings and the earth were initially in harmony, and human beings and the universe were so close that everything is in the meta-universe. The meta-universe does not belong to human beings, but human beings see a silhouette of the universe from the meta-universe.

The metaverse is the ultimate point of life experience pursued by human beings, and the spirit is in search of the origin of the universe’s wisdom.
We hope that in the era of the metaverse, no one will be hungry, no one will not be misunderstood, no one will be deceitful, everyone will help each other, share, win together, and advance towards a higher civilization.

How big can this universe be? None of us knows …… However, we are creating it together.

Smile Farms at CP Unlimited will host its ribbon cutting ceremony, opening the 9th Smile Farms campus in the New York City metro region.
Smile Farms is a not-for-profit that develops partnerships with other NFPs to create jobs for people with developmental disabilities. Smile Farms at CP Unlimited will create 22 such opportunities for Staten Islanders, teaching them to grow produce (hot and sweet peppers to be used to make hot sauce!, among other things), providing them with marketable skills, independence, and mental wellness benefits. They will also support “Good Neighbor Organics” grown nearby and distribute it in local SI neighborhoods identified as “food deserts.” Smile Farms was founded by Long Islander and 1-800-FLOWERS.com Founder/Executive Chairman Jim McCann, inspired by his brother who has developmental disabilities.
Fun Facts: Since its founding in 2015, Smile Farms has:
– employed more than 200+ people with different abilities in the NY metro area
– harvested 629+ lbs. of peppers (and counting!) that have been made into 1,773 bottles of “BurnAbility” hot sauce ??????
– delivered produce to nearly 600 food insecure customers
– farmed produce for 55 group homes, feeding 400 residents
– wholesaled 62,000 planted pots of annuals and perennials
– provided produce for celeb Chef Tom Colicchio’s newest restaurant, Small Batch, and much more.
This is SUCH a feel-good story. If you’d like to interview James Cuomo, (a Smile Farmer at CP Unlimited), Jim McCann (Founder/Chairman Smile Farms, Founder/Exec Chairman of 1-800-Flowers) or Susan Constantino, (President and CEO of CP Unlimited), I’d be glad to arrange it for you. I’ve attached a media advisory for you and a flyer about Smile Farms.

Jim McCann – Bio

As a child, McCann grew up in Ozone Park, Queens, and is the oldest of five siblings in an Irish-American family; McCann is a third-generation American.[1][2] For college, McCann attended the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, and graduated in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.[1]

McCann first entered the flower business in the 1970s, when he purchased flower shops in New York City.[1][3] He had previously worked as a social worker and as a part-time bartender in the Queens and Manhattan, respectively.[1][4]

According to his autobiography, “Stop and Sell the Roses”, he came up with the idea of building a nationwide flower service while “listening to the radio as he was shaving”. In 1986, he bought a nearly bankrupt company in Texas which owned the phone number 1-800-Flowers.[3] McCann changed the name of his chain accordingly.

In 1992 and 1994, McCann established deals with online pioneers CompuServe and AOL, making his company one of the first retailers to establish an online presence.[3] In 1995, McCann established the website www.1800flowers.com, becoming one of the first retailers to establish a web presence. The company went public when it filed its IPO in 1999 under stock ticker FLWS.[1][5][6]

As of 2016, McCann stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of 1-800-Flowers in favor of his brother Christopher G. McCann.[1] McCann owns 40% of the company.

McCann serves as a director for Winthrop-University Hospital, a trustee for Hofstra University, a trustee for the Cancer Research Institute, Inc. and Children’s Progress Inc.[6][7] He is often sought after to speak on topics of entrepreneurship, marketing and the Internet. He also serves on various corporate boards.[6]

Praise for Radical Collaboration

This book opened my eyes and has given me the tools to collaborate with a clear head. The first section of the book identifies the signs you are becoming defensive, the second part elaborates and helps you explore your subconscious to discover why you are really becoming defensive. It has become easy for me to identify when my response to a situation is irrational due to all of my underlying insecurities weighing in. The book also does a great job pointing out your flaws without making you dwell on the past, it has the intention of exciting you to do better in the future. The last part of the book helps you with techniques for effective collaboration. I recommend this book to everyone, I think it will add value to anyone’s life. ―Reader Synopsis

I am a psychotherapist, and not only have I found this book to be an excellent summation of ways to help improve ALL relationships, but it has also become a good tool I use as I go through the book with my clients. Want to have better relationships? Figure out what your own defenses are and why you have them. Then learn how to deal with your own, and with those defenses that other people have. Then with an increased sense of safety, openness becomes much easier. This is a very well written, easy to read pathway to improved relationships. What could be more valuable? ―Reader Synopsis
