My five UEvoke Heroes, Part II: Chris Ke Sihai
Chris is an English teacher, he lives in Taipei (Taiwan) and he is my hero because he managed to get Evoke’s rules changed so that all Prize Categories are now Open to All
Ages. Chris did it in a neat way (no bloodshed); he also achieved this really fast (less that 12 hours, I was online witnessing the transformation). Isn’t his an amazing example of social innovation?
Apart form this epic anecdote, Chris's participation in UEvoke impressed me, having joined in April the 6th, he managed to catch up. Chris continuously shared what he was learning about building web pages in a very selfless way; I say this because writing these posts must have taken hours of sleep.
Chris also shared his ideas such as the Evoke 1.5 version for teachers: ingeniousity.net,
you keep this name in mind, you will hear about it soon. In my opinion Chris’s version is an important step forward for the work of WBI, because Chris is looking for volunteers to translate the content so that teachers and students in other countries -and cultures- can use the tool (similar to Evoke) to participate and share their views on how they would and could change the world.
Chris has always been tolerant yet responsive to criticisms to the game, he said to his friends in a message “someone got something going, and it's called Evoke. It may not be perfect, but somewhere back during the first mission I read something about using what you have instead of worrying about what you don't have”.
Chris went even further! He created a Forum inviting us to post our complaints because …¡!!.Chris himself wanted to “try and think of either a rebuttal or a positive way to think about 'the opportunity disguised as a problem’”. What do you have to say about this?
There is even more: the best contribution from Chris to Evoke was involving Cheng Yuan
High School in the game. This group of 16 students, who joined Evoke in May the
1st, they won my heart. The "201 heroes" accomplished all 10 quests and 30 mission objectives in record time!
I have to say I am happy I had the chance to witness such performance of all these Great Agents, thank you Chris,
and BRAVO!!

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.

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.
