Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

I decided for Midwives Deliver – And Not Only Babies.

I think that these is the first important step in each little live – what will the chance of clean water, healthy food and education use, when the children die?
Doctors are often too expensive for the people-and often they are also afraid of them. That’s easy to understand. Doctors are doing a lot of things which are unknowable for the people, especially cause of the big role of superstition which often dominates the belief and habits of the people.
Midwives instead have a high reputation in most of the countries. They are considered as prudent at the most of African cultures. So most of the women who need help for the birth will have more trust in the midwives than in a doctor.

I found a short film about the problems in Africa, I’m sorry, it is German, but here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtT3ctaqc5g.

Some years ago a film was made. Midwives – a global perspective on childbirth. It is about 1 hour long and it shows 17 midwives all over the world and they talk about the different problems they have: less money, hygiene, superstition but also the problem of temporary fashions in high developed countries. It seems to be very interesting, I can’t find a free version or just a free part of it to show you, but here you can find the most important statements and facts: http://www.birth-and-culture.com/de/video/video_2_bescheib***.htm

But midwives also can do more than midwifery. All women of the world have one point in common, that makes them more peaceful and open to others than men for me: their children. I think that the binding between mother and child is so special, that it can build a bridge over each cultural or religious problem. You can see it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mDIxTpGSew
As we all know, Israel and Pakistan have very big conflicts. There are too much dead persons, hate, anger and tears on both sides. So it seems to be impossible to find a peaceful solution. But not for these two women: two midwives, one from Israel and one from Pakistan, work together and show that no hate can be deep enough to overbear it with the love to the children.

I think that projects like this will have more influence over the two nations than policy can ever have.

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.

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.
