Can there be an option so that people cannot see your Power Points? I understand for many the points are integral to enjoying their experience, however it is starting to get distracting for me. I was…Continue

Practical Cacti for Energy
I got to thinking about how we might use our hottest most arid environments (often but not always not so heavily populated) to create energy. Found this, CACTUS!!!! Not just for being prickly anymore!!!

Imagine2
In 2020 I want to be eating the way I want everyone to be able to.
I want to be surrounded by family and friends in one of two settings.
1. Outside, I want to be grilling with kids playing around while the grown-ups all yap about "boring stuff." I get to be outside with the people I love enjoying life. The menu? Chicken and vegetables. I love my red meat too, but by now it is probably not great for my health. A nice garden salad, from my own garden just like mom and dad do,… Continue

Learn2: Starving from Abundance
I have been fortunate to live in a very socially aware community that has the benefits and amenities one can find in a big city, but with a smaller population (approx 40,000). The amount of programs and food shelters in respect to the need is thankfully not as daunting as larger metropolitan areas. That although our community seems to have done well with getting food into peoples' bellies a large issue looms on the horizon. GOOD FOOD, healthy food, is still way too expensive.

ACT2: Food and Citizenship
The timing of this objective is oddly convenient. I am a coach of a high school athletic team and have been trying to figure out ways to teach citizenship to my players this season. I have decided to have a food drive on the team. I still need to work out the logistics and find a way to reward the boys that reinforces the idea that investment in those in your community that are in need gives them direct benefits.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
