The Mission of this Web Site and the Intent to continue to Fulfill the Mission in the Future

February 2013

This site was created over ten years ago with the goal of presenting the general concept of Tychiformation as a possible approach to addressing global affairs. The definition of the conceptand its potential application are expressed in the left column of this Home Page. The content of the site morphed over the years to address issues in more detail, in parallel with the development of my thoughts as documented in the two books that I authored after the inception of the site. Both books are featured on the right column of this page. The books reflectan articulated progressive position. In this context I wish to add that to my mind “progressive” is synonymous with “rational”; i.e. in my view, ‘not influenced by inflexible religious, ethnic, political, or nationalistic preconceptions and prejudice’. Thus, the mission of the site evolved into airing progressive views regarding both global, as well as domestic US conditions and developments. Numerous progressive entities sprang up on TV and on the internet since the inception of this site. Many have succeeded in raising funds to continue their endeavors and are now rigorously active in promoting the progressive cause. I support these entities, and wish them all the best in continuing their effortsThese also help to make the viagra online http://downtownsault.org/my-account/ body to function normally.. As far as this site is concerned, it has been basically a one man show; of course, assisted by many young men and women who occasionally contribute to its realization. Being active in professional practice as an architect/planner, I have limited time to dedicate to the site. Accordingly, the site does not meet the expectations of potential visitors to find articles of interest posted in a regular manner. I will try to do better. At any rate, I promise to continue to maintain the site, and to address critical issues when they arise as best as I can. Also, the recently established blogging section of the site has not attracted meaningful activity. Therefore, it will be deleted. As always, visitors are encouraged to peruse the views expressed in my published books. Until I return, hopefully soon, Ismail Rifaat
