Following Hayat Sindi
I have just watched Hayat Sindi's post on Pop Tech. Her company, Paper Daignostics, offers diagnostic breakthroughs for developing countries and it would seem for developed countries as well.
Dr. Sindi's story is full of courage, intelligence and inspiration for all.
Here is a link to her blog
another to her Pop Tech talk.
The Pop Tech people are all stunning and exciting. There ideas give me hope for the 21st Century. And thank you Evoke for opening this new world.
All the best,
Mrs. Hanson

Oh - missed the category label process. Thank you. Had you not heard of her before? This is the first online game I have ever attempted. Except for Harry Potter, Gandolf and an occasional Neil Gaiman novel, I'm not much for wizards/alternate realities. The links to what is going on beyond my little street however and seem the reason to stay a little longer. Thank you, John.

Thanks Mrs. Hanson for sharing this. I didn't know her work, yet, and it is so inspiring. Though her blog is not that updated, interesting infos can be found there. And the video from Pop Tech is just great.
Oh, and remember not to leave whitespaces when tagging your post: write "ACT1" instead of "ACT 1", otherwise the tag will automatically be splitted in two.

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.

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.
