IMAGINE 003 - POWER
Here we are celebrating a graduation in the year 2020. Well, the air I breath is not real, there has been oxygen added to improve my circulation, lowering cancer rates across the country, and reducing the load on hospitals around the world. So, as the solar powered air scrubbers on the roof's ridge-line send air through the oxygen sleeves in the attic, I'll set up the bar for the party. I rented oxygen canisters from the hospital, I'll take 'em back for the deposit next week. Kids… Continue

UEvoke Hero Ternura Rojas
My fellow agent Ternura Rojas has added her light and intelligent voice, in English and in Spanish, to many of the posts, discussions, and message boxes in Evoke. Finishing all her rune assignments, sharing many discussions, photos and videos, working, and research, Ternura also found time to keep agents informed of developments on Evoke in her runner line, and…

Well, I've learned a thing or two
What I have learned is this:
-- One: I simply don't have the energy to keep up with a game such as this and even understand just how it works, which is unfortunate.
-- Terra preta. I did learn about that, and the implications proved mindblowing. I'm duly grateful.
I remain skeptical whether games such as Urgent Evoke will help us solve these crises in time to avoid a collapse or even cushion it. If I have to eat those words, it will be a very satisfying meal. :)… Continue

EVOKATION: Help me to EVOKE a PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR THE POOR
Hello Agents,
Unfortunately I didn't have much time working at the development of the EVOKE network (while working at this project), but the things I saw so far definitely showed the incredible (real world) potential that EVOKE can unleash. It really is and will be an alternate reality game.
I want to EVOKE a PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR THE POOR in a slum in ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST.

Evokation
Being high school students, even with such an amount of money, we realize that our powers and resources are limited. We have time and ability constraints. So it took us quite a while to come up with something big enough to make a difference but definitely probable.…

Section 1 – The Social Venture
The Venture
Agriculture today is financed much like any other big business: with a view of investment that only includes financial return. This approach, however, is limited in scope and leads to major negative environmental and social externalities. With few sources of capital available to smaller players in the sector, and with an increasingly competitive marketplace, large-scale agriculture is increasingly squeezing out smaller scale… Continue

2020 Celebration - New Development Center at Indigenous Community that hosts migrants from cities
Today is a day when we are opening a new center for development of low
income families. Families that escaped from cities to try to live in nature with some peace inside the forest. This one is at the west region of Brazil, nearby some
indiginous' communities, and we've learned with them how to use all the
solar electricity and how to use the energy power that comes from the
rain. Those Indigenous people really know how to live there, and we were helping
them on how…

I like Tim O'Reilly
I mean, me and everyone, right?
But what Tim's doing is especially meaningful to me, because he's a force for education in a state that used to have one of the best education systems in the world. The UCs (Berkeley, UCLA, San Diego, Santa Cruz, every jewel in the crown) have been decaying for the last 20 years because of a restructuring in their money base. Property taxes were dropped in the 70s, and so education funds dropped. For a long time, the UCs attempted to combat the pressure… Continue

Season 2
What new social problems will they tackle?
I think we need to start thinking about prejuduces (sexual, social, racial, cultural and religious).
How do we divide ourselves into "us" and "them". We need to start thinking about how we are similar to each other, instead of our differences. What do we have in common, what are the things that bring us together as communities of…

power shift
i actually thought electricity can only be generated by HEP, solar units, nuclear power etc.
it is reassuring to know that you can generate power fron dirt in your own backyard.
such technology should be brought to nigeria. we have dirt in abondance

Water is precious - and clay cooling
My granddaughter, learn this from me today.
Water is always precious - we will never reach a day in our future when it is a less precious resource than any of the days in our past - all that changes is the ease with which we can get it.
Learn this from me, and my childhood:
Clay is a great container for water - a good red clay, terracotta or such.
Shape it well (something small enough to…

DETROIT RECOVERY PLAN (Evocation)
The city of Detroit is facing a number of challenges. The city has a very high unemployment rate. Detroit has lost a lot of its population and thus its tax base has been seriously depleted. The public school system is in a shambles. Other big city problems such as crime, drugs etc., also exist. While the situation appears bleak, if not hopeless, there exists a possibility for the implementation of an Evoke which would address many of the above…

We all stand together
My idea is for a child safe-spot network ...
During a crisis, it is not unusual for children to become separated form their parents, lost, or abused.
Our community already has a large number of people who do a great job taking car of children daily.
I would create a network for child-minders. We'd create a list of child-safe spots where lost children can go for safety. a list of the spots would be sent to each…

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
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. 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.
