[Stoves] [biochar] Fwd: New Heart! New Website!

[Ronal W. Larson]

Hi Art and all

1.  Start at http://ht.ly/tjCZR

2.  For students:  there are instructions to get you to:  https://netimpact-csm.symplicity.com/students/index.php?s=jobs&ss=jobs&mode=form&id=c553ea77e6ce52d7b6c94701031b6eb9

3.   From #1, I could hit lots of buttons to open other spread sheets.  This above URL name kept popping up - so maybe that is for something that starts after tomorrow.  But for tomorrow’s deadline, these look pertinent

https://netimpact.org/learning-resources/learning-opportunities/student-impact-opportunities/projects-for-good
https://netimpact.org/docs/competitions-and-projects/projects-for-good-worksheet-define-your-project


4.  In sum,  I don’t know how to manipulate all the way through the system, but I think SeaChar could be exactly what they are looking for.  I’ll bet you (and some others on these lists) can finish, because you have already been doing what they want.  

After wandering around some more, I think the $5k is maybe independent of getting help from students (and faculty??)

Good luck.  Wish I could be more help.

>> Dear Friends,

>> As many of you know, I'm a fan of the Denver Broncos football team, in spite of their Super Bowl defeat. So much so that I've decided to have the same heart operation that their coach John Fox had a few months ago to replace his aortic valve.

>> Five years in the making, we are also thrilled to see the new website launch this week. Take a look and let us know what you think!

>> Mohammad Yunus is a nice man. He’s also very smart, innovative, a risk-taker — and a winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace. However, he is sometimes wrong. And he’s most certainly wrong when he insists, as he has done so frequently in recent years both in his books and in public appearances, that the solution to global poverty lies in forming “social businesses” that never distribute profits to investors...
