A letter of recommendation for a Ph.D program to which I had applied.

 October 28, 2013

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Martin Jacobs, an exceptional graduate student in the business intelligence concentration in our MSIT program. I have known Martin for approximately two years. I came to know him well, over time, while he was a student in my decision support systems course, my knowledge management course, and my data mining and data warehousing course, respectively.

To maintain a concentration within the Master of Science in Information Technology, students fulfill their course requirements by taking a rigorous course load. Students are required to complete a combination of specific classes with a heavy emphasis on analytical and critical thinking, advanced independent research and, attending five graduate seminars per term. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better in all courses in order to remain in a concentration program. Martin has fulfilled this requirement admirably, maintaining a GPA of 4.0 throughout his business intelligence concentration. Martin is solidly poised to enter the nation's best school's and would be an excellent fit for Union Institute and University, in such varied doctoral fields as humanities, social justice, philosophy, and culture.

Martin is scholarly and culturally entrenched; he is ambitious but not pretentious. He self-critiques yet he is confident; he is forthright but unassuming. Martin is delightfully irreverent yet appropriately respectful-he is a complex and whole human being. In the classroom environment, Martin would ask well-developed questions about a project and I would give him broad outlines for each segment. Martin consistently submitted assignments having solidly researched the history of the problem, analyzed complex algorithms and variables, cross-tabulated technical/demographic analyses, assessments, and provided recommendations on ways to make the courses better. His citations and references made it seamless to retrieve the necessary quantitative and qualitative information to evaluate the substance of his assignments. I have used many of Martin's assignments as examples for students in subsequent terms.

Martin is forward-thinking and very open minded and yet, self-effacing at times. I believe he will be successful wherever he decides to pursue his Ph.D. He is, and will be, a dedicated student and a competent professional.

I recommend Martin very highly and without reservation. Should more information be required, please feel free to contact me at ddepreist@kaplan.edu, or at 816-943-1571 by appointment.

Sincerely,

Desiree L. DePriest, Ph.D

The Matrix Decoded

  05/30/2025!                        The Matrix Decoded                                                 Martin Jacobs (aka Noah Wolf) Most of my followers should be aware by now of my theory that at some point, the 3d material masculine and the 5d spiritual feminine position in dimensional value, have at some point in time been switched. Then of course our 5d spiritual side was hidden from us and a connection to source reserved entirely for the church in the Christian religion. It's long been my assertion that both men and women have a left brain that controls our 3d masculine material side. While our right brains are the controller for all things non-material, such as emotions, imagination, and our very own connection to Spirit. However, without any knowledge at all o...

The Quest

In the fall 2010, I was sitting in the new addition to the house with my ex having a rather deep conversation. I had recently tried Adderall and around the same time finished the book “Driven to Distraction” about ADHD. I remember crying for hours after reading that book. Tears of Joy in having finally seen my experiences described so vividly by another. So, in the following weeks I was quite literally lost in this newfound depth to my thoughts and emotions. We are sitting there talking, my fiancé and I, I remember being very relaxed with my feet up on the desk. We were talking about my mother who passed when I was 12, and how close she was to her father and how they used to pick up the phone at the same time, dial, and just be talking with no rings occurring on either side. I started talking about the  unconditional love  a mother has for a child and how that had been missing from my life for a very long time. At that moment, I saw a light flash in the sky. I installed specia...

Reflections of a Scapegoat

  Journal of Martin Jacobs a.k.a. Noah Wolf   Apr 14, 2025 Galactic Activation Portal May the energy of Yellow Resonant Sun help me to gain clarity in my journey so I can feel strong to shine brightly and resonate with all that is I am guided by the power of Wisdom Yesterday, I made some references to how I thought my parents were in a secret society. I also speculated that my mother kept me out but that made me the scape goat. I added that when my paternal grandmother died, we never went back to that side of the family again. I believe my mother quit the “society” at that time. After that, bad shit was always happening to her. Bad car accident followed by a diagnosis of cancer about 6 months after, when I was 11 and died a year later. She was the only person I had a bond with at the time, so I was distraught at the funeral, and I remember that I caused a huge scene when people were visiting and laughing at the funeral. There is an inference to make here, but I’m n...
