#23 - Petals Foundation "Differently Abled"
The entrepreneurial process applied by a leader, Deepak Prasad, has given birth to and grown a successful non-profit organization, Petals Foundation, which lives in the present to help disabled but skilled individuals create sources of income. The organization bridges the differently abled with the industry for a mutually beneficial relationship to sell the individual's developed products including artwork, greeting cards, and many other gift items.

Their website is located at: http://www.petalsfoundation.org

I wonder about the evolutionary process for improving the human body. In particular, whether living bare-foot or having the most advanced shoes improves our body more in the very long run. We have shoes because of environmental and road conditions. However, if those concerns are eliminated then what's more beneficial to human body? Eventually, are we going to need shoes to enhance performance or to prevent injuries? Our characterization of generally much-superior aliens includes a big head and a tiny body. Does this mean even we could evolve towards the same? What improvements are gained/lost in the short run and lost/gained in the long run? How much of the world class athletic genes is being dispersed globally? How's this going to proceed for the next millenia? One extreme is that our research and development might eventually shrink us to like the aliens in movies. However, teleportation might become possible given a highly simplified body except the brain which could be remapped cell by cell at the crucial points having the rest to be organically grown in a standard way. We might find great use of quantum computing here. Another extreme is an ultimate body which can live forever but can't experience anything. I do agree that highly advanced physical capabilities have relevance but the aliens in movies have significant technological advantage. In my limited knowledge, earth doesn't seem to be extreme in comparison to other planets and that's also probably why it's a lonely one. If we care about human life then the shoe most likely needs to evolve forever. I guess that's why corporations are their own entities for that gives them the right to unlimited life. Regardless of who constructed the garden or when, the many petals give flowers their beauty in every which sense. How would it have been if any other planet, forget all or most of the planets, had intelligent life? This probably would've led humans to advance like earthlings which might still happen due to entrepreneurship over the next hundreds to thousands of years.

Good day dear Friend,
How are you doing today? Hope you doing very fine over there including your family, I am happy to recieve your contact and i hope that this will be the begining of a long lasting business relationship.
I am Mr MALAI BANGURA, a Seirra Leonean by origin. I was a gold and diamond dealer in Free town untill the present (APC) ALL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS PARTY civilian Government of PRESIDENT ERNEST BAI KOROMA revoked my Licence because i refused to involve my money in the last political campaign so eventually when they won the election i became a scape goat for the rgime.
Fortunately, i have been able to transfer 2,840.000.00 euro ( two million eight hundred and fourty thousand euro) to a Bank in Senegal, the country where i reside presntly. I have been victimised by the present civilian Government in my country and my money in Sierra leone has been siezed by the Government demanding that i should give account of all my money which they are aware i made from my Gold and diamond Business.
Ever since 17 September 2007 i have been living in fear and uncertain of my safety hence i was forced to move out of my country to Senegal.
Actually my purpose of contacting you is for us to go into partnership such that i can transfer this money to your account in your country for an investment purpose.
Since you know your country more than i do, you will have to decide on the type of business that we can run successfully in your country with the amount in question.All other partnership conditionalities will be discussed and agreed upon by both of us as soon as you indicate your interest for this transaction.
Honestly and in sincerity I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law. Please reply to (mcbang10@yahoo.com)
Thanks while i look forward to your reply soonest.
Yours Sincerelly.
Malai Bangura.
