Hi Bahram,

After I sent JJ the letter the 2nd time, he e-mailed me back saying that he did receive the letter, but he did not say when and where he will post the letter...I am just too embarrassed to push him for other stuff, I really don't want to set him off that he can delete my account! :O) 

If you want, you can push him a little, I just don't have the gut to push him....he is pretty nice not to reject our request.

If I push him too hard, he can break off the "diplomatic relation" with me O:)))))....I really don't want that to happen.

Thank you and good luck!

Thank you sooo much for your super kind words!

yolanda

Thanks for the kind word

Dear Yolanda,

"The world is a mirror," is an old saying. The way you look at people and the world is often you see your own reflection. So, when you say nice things about me or anyone or anything, you are just seeing your own dimensions.

Now, don't worry about JJ. If you like, you can re-send it to JJ and ask him to forward it to me. He has my address and the address of everyone else, I assume, that writes in IC. Then, I'll post it if he is too busy or forgets to post it.

Really don't worry about JJ getting upset because he is a "guy" and guys don't like to be pushed by "girls." I think that he is a much bigger man than being so chauvinistic. If you want to push him, push him. Life has pushed him alot, it seems, and he has toughened up, I hope. In the meantime, keep up your positive and kind outlook. It does help make the world and life a little better.

Hi Bahram,

        I searched IC, but I have not seen the letter, so I just sent JJ the letter one more time.......I don't feel comfortable to push him....as you know, guys do not like to be pushed around by girls  O:))....right now we have to be very patient with JJ. I am praying that he keeps his promise...I have promised Ali to send him the link once his letter is posted.

   Please don't give me too much credit, it is going to jinx the whole thing O:))....if you happen to see the letter posted somewhere on IC, could you please post the link here? Thank you in advance!!!!! 

   Thank you for your post, yes, you are right, we want to make the world a better place for all.

   You are like a catalyst, you saw the letter in the journal and you heard the calling to do this.....thank you soo much, I also want to thank Ali 'cause he heard the calling to write the beautiful letter even though the guy is super busy. I hope you and Ali have a lot of blessings. 

     We need to get rid of the mullahs.....Iran has the potential to become the envy of the world 'cause Iranians are super smart, super brave, super hard-working and tenacious. Hopefully the victory is near!

thanks,

yolanda 

Excellent Yolanda

It is the kind of steadfast resolve that you have shown that holds a great promise for helping Iran free itself from the yoke of the mullahs. We all need to do our shares, in as peacefully as we can, to help Iran and the Iranian people. By so doing, we are also helping the world to become a better place for all.

Thanks for your perseverance

Hi Bahram,

     Ali just sent me his letter in "MS Word" format, it is amazing that the guy can read my mind! O:) I have forwarded the letter to JJ.     I am elated!!!!! Hopefully no more hurdles in front of us!

I am keeping my fingers crossed!

thanks,

yolanda

......

Hi Bahram,

         Ali did send me the attachment of his letter, it is not a link, it is attachment of his letter in Adobe format.....JJ can't accept it, we have to give him the letter in MS "Word" format or e-mail format....initially JJ aksed me to e-mail Ali to get it, but I really don't feel comfortable to bother him again...I believe the guy is busy.....so I told JJ, I will re-type it.

    Please let me know what type of attachment you will get tomorrow. Is that Adobe format? E-mail format? or MS "Word" format?

thanks,

yolanda

Dear Yolanda

That's very noble of you to offer to type the letter. There is a slight possibility that I may be able to get it as an attachment by tomorrow morning. So, if you like, you may want to spend the night resting and enjoying your evening. I'll let you know if I get it by tomorrow noon Pacific Time.

Many thanks to you

.......

Hi Bahram,

JJ e-mailed me back. Yes, he can post the letter for us, but I have to re-type the whole thing, he can't use the adobe format. I will re-type the letter and e-mail it to him tonite.

Thanks for everything!

yolanda

I am so glad JJ did not reject our request! Thank God! I hope he has a lot of blessings!

Hi Bahram,

I forwarded the article to JJ already, here is my e-mail to JJ:

********************************************* 

Hi JJ,

Bahram G wrote a blog and it is still featured on IC:



//iranian.com/main/blog/bahram-g/thanking-ali-gorji-and-science-magazine



We contacted the German Iranian professor, who wrote the beautiful pro-democracy letter to one of the most coveted science journals in the world, "Science" magazine, the guy e-mailed me his article in adobe format. I was wondering if you can post his letter on IC. The guy said that we can publish his letter.



Please see the attachment with the forwarded e-mail. It is all Bahram G's idea. He wrote the blog and initiated the whole process, kudos to him.

****************************************

But, be very honest with you, I am not sure if JJ will post the article. It is up to him......I will say a prayer on this. As you know, I am absolutely nobody on IC, I have never submitted articles or blogs before, only news articles.

I did try to refresh JJ's memory that you started the process, so hopefully he understands and remembers he did approve your blog and feature your blog...

Thank you for mentioning the beliefs of Ancient Iranians. It is very beautiful and enlightening.

Good luck on Ali's letter

Yolanda 

Please send it to JJ

JJ and his co-workers are in a much better position to do the transposition. And as you suggested earlier, JJ may decide to post it in a more prominent manner so that more people get to see it.

thanks

......

Hi Bahram,

     Ali sent me his article.....yeah!.......but it is in adobe format...I am not a computer expert....I have no idea how to upload it to IC...May I forward his e-mail to you? Do you mind?

Thanks,

P.S.  Please don't give me too much credit, mission is not accomplished yet...but we have the article now.....we have to figure out how to post it....

Thanks Yolanda

If enough people cared/did act in the service of the good, as you seem to do, this world would be a much better place. It is the evil-doers who are busy around the clock making life miserable for so many. And of course there is the huge majority of apathetics. Our ancient Iranians believed that each one of us ought to lead a life on the basis of good thought, good speech, and good deed. Let us hope that we follow that admonition.

Regards and thanks,

Bahram G

Hi Bahram,

     I woke up in the middle of the night to check my e-mail, Ali e-mailed me back and he said that we can post his letter...Yeah! I gave him JJ's e-mail address already. I also told him that he can e-mail me the letter and I can forward it to JJ....

     I hope he keeps his promise!

I will keep you updated!

thanks,

...

Hi Bahram,

     I e-mailed Ali the 2nd time this morning, here is the e-mail:

*******************************************

Hi! Ali,
    Are you willing to publish your letter on iranian.com? So more people can read your beautiful letter.

Thanks,

yolanda

********************************************

I haven't got a response yet. If he says yes, I will give him JJ's e-mail address, I think JJ can take care of the rest. Hopefully JJ will put his letter in the prime location of IC. If the guy has the letter in Farsi, we can load 2 versions, it can reach bigger audiences.......if he does not respond, we cannot force him 'cause the letter is his intellectual property.... I hope he does not mind!

   Thank you for your blog and thank you for spreading the word....I am excited that I will see the letter tomorrow.

    I learned something today, DE stands for Deutschland.  Yeah!

Thank you and I will keep you updated!

Ali Gorji

He is in Germany. The address in Science is: Institute fur Physiologie I, Universitat Munster, Germany. I am sure -- I hope -- he would respond to your E-mail. Again his E-mail address in the magazine is: gorjial@uni-muenster.de

.....

Hi Bahram,

    I just e-mailed Ali again to see if he wants to post his letter here on IC. I am not sure if he is in Iran or outside Iran...I know that IC is blocked in Iran.....we will see what happens..

thanks,

.....

Dear Bahram G,

      I found a copy of Science September issue...I will possibly find the October issue tomorrow.....I am excited already! One of my relatives subscribes Science..the relative does cancer research....I know that Science is very prestigious journal...it is super hard for anyone to land there. The guy must have done a superb job to have his letter published on Science. I was wondering if the guy, Ali, wants to re-publish (or post) his letter here, but I am not sure if he visits IC..

Thank you so much!

yolanda

No Dice!

I located the letter on line. But the folks at SCIENCE won't let me see/copy/transfer the text because I am not a subscriber to the online magazine! Well, that's the way this world is. And these people have to do this in order to stay in business.

Again, I hope that someone who has a membership for this online service of the magazine would take a couple of minutes and share the letter with everyone.

Dear Yolanda

I had a hard copy of the SCIENCE issue and that's where I saw his most impressive excellent letter. If I get a chance, I'll try to locate SCIENCE  on the web and see if I can't get the electronic reference for you and others here.

Perhaps one of our compatriots here who has access to SCIENCE on the web can do this. I am not sure if I can do it.

Yes, he did an excellent job and I know how difficult it is to get anything published in SCIENCE. The fact that he got his letter published and the fact that SCIENCE published is a very welcome and excellent thing. A powerful voice for freedom.

Regards,

Bahram G

......

The guy, Ali Gorji, e-mailed me back! I have no idea where he is 'cause there is no borders in cyberspace. I am sooooo honored!

Thanks for your article!

thanks,

.....

Thank you for the announcement. I e-mailed the guy already & the e-mail got thru, but I don't have access to the article. If you have a link to the abstract or the Science database, please let us know, we will be glad to read it!

thanks,
