Journalism and crisis
Hello all,
Today, I'd like to blog about the role played by journalists during a crisis. This subject is very interesting as we come to globalization.
First of all, let's see an exemple: Greece. It was a "small" crisis until the media jumped into the story and started to write articles every hour or so about how bad the situation is. The result was the unjustified crash down of the stock markets around the world. On the other hand, as soon as the…

The EVOKE network improves
Hello all!
I strongly believe that the EVOKE initiative is a good one and that it has a lot of potential to change the face of our world. On the other hand, in its actual form, not much will be accomplished. We write blog posts that are barely read and whenever someone has a solid project, it has no visibility.

China being the biggest wood importer for the next 20 years at least, it seems logical to invest in other countries. That way, they go to other countries, then send…

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.
Rico Angel Rodriguez posted a blog postWhere I will be in ten years.
Ten years from now I will be in a political job assisting with people in the midlands of South Carolina particularly the rural working class and farmers. As the class of people that feed the nation I find that it is imperative that we assist with making sure they produce as much food as possible. I would like to support local scientists as well that are leading in research on how to produce food more efficiently. I will also be participating in missions to foreign countries to help people with…See More

The secret was living on the water via boats common in many developing countries like Myanmar. This is a real Indian boat home made of wood and this provides a shelter for many peoples around the world.
