bicentenary of birth 2020 #nightingale2020
everything that is great about uk national health system begins and ends with nursing culture of service- when nurses are the most valued people in a community or a nation hi-trust flows can grow, childrens safety becomes everyone's job as well as how big data is designed for resilient community use
query- missed opportunity- gandhi was stuck in britain for 6 months at start of world war 1
he served in local red cross in london- however later
when redesigning village school systems in india with montessori health action learning
seems to have been missed out
from the late 1970s correcting this omission is how asian women empowerment grew out of villages -see www.fazleabed.com

note from acumen jacqueline novogratz
This crisis is giving us the chance to find our best selves again and to renew our connection to one another in ways with deep local roots and with branches that extend across the world.
We are also seeing new skills emerging among our most effective leaders, who are partnering in creative ways and prioritizing our collective health and well-being over individual profit. Shining examples of moral imagination, these entrepreneurs have the humility to recognize the ugly realities we must confront today and the audacity to envision and work toward a better future.
I couldn’t be more inspired by the actions members of Acumen’s community are undertaking in response to COVID-19. In Bozeman, Montana, Acumen America investee MyVillage, a company that helps people open and operate high-quality, home-based early education programs, has raised emergency grant funding to ensure that its childcare providers can continue to educate young children into April. MyVillage Co-Founder and CEO Erica Mackey says the goal of the funding is to minimize disruptions to educator income and help parents manage costs incurred during a COVID-19-related exposure or absence.
Also part of Acumen America’s portfolio is a restaurant chain called Everytable that offers healthy grab-and-go meals in low-income, underserved communities. Last week, its Founder and CEO Sam Polk wrote a letter to his community stating the company’s commitment to doing, “whatever it takes to ensure that everyone across greater Los Angeles has access to healthy meals,” including senior citizens, underserved schools or individuals who are struggling. Sam and Erica’s moral leadership remind us that we need to celebrate the actions of such role models so that more actions like these become the norm.
Acumen is fortunate to also be able to learn from its leaders in communities around the globe. Whether their communities are plagued by viruses, conflict, homelessness, despair or the stressful uncertainty that poverty brings, they constantly remind us what resilience looks like, and the importance of kindness and gratitude when all you see around yourself is darkness. One such leader is Acumen West Africa Fellow Niniola Williams, founder of DRASA Health Trust, a public health organization named for her aunt, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, the doctor credited with halting the spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria. Since 2015, Niniola and the DRASA Health Trust team have been creating government partnerships and public education campaigns to promote good hygiene to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. In many ways, they’ve been preparing for five years for the arrival of COVID-19.
We have miles to go, but we can address the new realities of this global health and economic crisis while holding with fierce, persistent aspiration to the good that can be done in the midst of it. Every Acumen entrepreneur, Fellow, Partner and, of course, our amazing team, Board and Advisors are in this together, equally committed to keeping one another healthy and safe so that we can stand together and bring our best selves to the work we came to do.

STORY OF ECOMMERCE
The stories of what the world's 2 greatest marketmakers valued similarly and differently are essential for understanding what will happen in 2020s, and probably our species sustainability! Americans are 5% of the world's population and it would be absurd to think that commerce needs are similar everywhere let alone parts of rural asia and africa yet to see electricity grids. And where a society which has never had access leaps ahead with a combination of mobile and solar- sharing life critical knowledge often comes first. Moreover a generation of americans grew up with you've got mail and personal computing networks digital to most chinese means you've got chat and mobile.
can you help us improve on these listings
| neither was thinking about an exit model: bezos had to fight wall street every year for valuing his long-term differently than they ever had before; ma's challenge was to spend 10 years finding the right partners before china was ready with a web and distribution infrastructures both once they had scaled their first version of ecommerce were thinking about next digital industries to be in - by2010 they were into cloud leadership out of the world's 2 biggest economies both saw a capital city's newspaper as being critical to the future truth of serving millennials | .jack ma was interested in livelihood models of global village inclusion and the 21st suoercity's responsibility for everything to do with sustainability in ways that national leaders should not believe they are sole rulers of; bezos seems to have realised that quite late around 2018 when he staged head quarter 2 competition so that over 200 cities could see that their infrastructures were so far behind in co-hosting a top 10 digital economy that the whole of usa need to rethink its infrastructure mapping if americans are to be as relevant to 21st C as they were in the 20th jack ma discovered that developing the big data small maps for deliveries was where to focus- he didnt need to handle the cost of stock; he coluid maximise livelihoods across village sme networks as well as build a virtual shopping mall for the biggest global brands around which he created the new shopping day 11/11; every way in which china's middle class market emerged gave jack ma the chance to design channels serving the people- china did not have big retailers by category, it didnt even have a large credit card market- so ma's alipay could design mobile payment between merchant and customer without banks vested interests in putting people in debt and in slowing down benefits society could get from ending cost of paper reports and paper money -moreover jack ma helped make money safer just as the bigness of western banks caused the dismal subprime abuse which has devalued youth and livelihoods in so many places ma could help society leapfrog and flows through ecommerce to fintech to livelihood training in ways bezos had no chance of evolving- please note the competition as well as false academics bezos faced meant he never had ma's freedom (americas guru academics had claimed bricks had won the war against clicks, that amazon was some sort of monopoly- there was no conception between 1995-2020 by these pundits that the whole of infrastructure money and market making was up for redesign which huge social upsides or downsides)- this becomes interesting as other countries debate which sustainability consequences of our country's development do our peoples/next generations need or want-in effect developing country's peoples have much more community sustainable digital models to enjoy than the west For reasons we dont understand bezos is interested in colonising space-if thats just a story to get more funds for dromnes, satellites, mapping mother earth that's fine- if he seriously believes planet earth cant sustain 8 billion people and colonising other planets is our species exit route then that might be a flaw- please note he's still 100 times smarter than any western media marketer i have ever met (and as a statistician of large brands i have met a few ) Bezos' echo and Alexa are oriented towards the AI of selling and entertaining; jack ma invests in AI scholars of bid data small across nations - see hist 15 billion dollar investment in Damo and look at how he was most youths favorite ever chair of the first G20 of after the launches of the SDGs |
Ironically USA's media has become both fake and costly-it is becoming in many ways separated from purpose market by market whose value chain transparency of integration will explain what the 7th economy by 2030 needs to support locally everywhere if we moms and dads are to celebrate our kinds bing the first sdg generation
some markets are most life-critica if our borderless networking age is to share mother earths risks such as climate viruses -anything that joseph nye calls a coalition economy not a GDP economy that exaggerates false competition. Most cities need to learn with each other in going green or making supercities for humans instead of cars, and joyful community and artistic participation

Jack Ma has investors who are co-strategists eg Masa Son and Jerry Yang and this has given him the opportunity to explore value chains of service/knowhow markets that product ecommerce cannot reach and to partner millennials dream organisations like the UN in these most life critical markets - bezos certainly has some mentors he has cultivated for over 25 years but its not clear he will be a coalition leader if indeed any american can be while fake laws are lobbied through the dismal space that DC has become in terms of valuing youth. Quite how the epicentre of trusting youth to moon race in 1961 now devalues youth every decade - wars of 2000s, subprime legacy for 2010s, the hatred 2020 western political lobbies specialise in is way beyond my ability to help americans or brusselians to brainstorm.For those interested in the economic challenge of integrating the 7th wondrous economy - that is a wholly different game of diversity to play and search with mapmakers of worldrecordjobs
