A loyal friend and supporter of many on and off evoke, koshy is a master network builder, colleague, and independent…

Here are some of the additional issues I am considering pertinent to the establishment of Hajj for Humanity as a 501C3- and shari’a law approved humanitarian foundation, for which more expert analysis and advice is needed:
(1) The premise of "Hajj for Humanity" is based upon the apparent spirit of cooperation and mutual toleration among and between peoples of various religious sects, nationalities, races during the Hajj. I am hoping that "Hajj for Humanity" project leadership,…

The world continues to face urgent and ongoing problems, ranging from black swan events to miasmic trends. Finance, food security, energy, environment, water issues, gender issues, human and earthling-species "global rights," the drive to not only survive but thrive -- Evoke agents listen, learn, look, leap -- whenever and wherever they are needed. Their code? Honor, team, support, sustainability. Their manifesto? Below:…
