**** TRADING BOARD (WANT ADS) ****
NEW CIVILIZATION MODEL ONE
BANKCO DIVISION
September 14, 1995
The following is the latest version of the continually updating New
Civilization Model One wants and needs (want ads) list. You can
respond to the want ads on this Trading Board by sending us your
message by e-mail (ao479@lafn.org) or snail mail. (There is no
charge for posting or responding to an ad.) If you need something
Model One can provide, just respond to that ad that has that item.
If you want to provide something that Model One needs, or any of
the Model One members may need, just send us your ad and we will
post it once we review it for consistency with the Model One
mission.
All transactions/activities are in New-Civilization-Model-One Time
Money credits (one hour worked in a New Civ Model One Division
earns you one Time Money credit), except where noted or where
state money is also needed for out-of-pocket expenses (shipping,
telephone, copying, etc.). Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. If you need
a Time Money loan (interest free) let us know. While we prefer to
have all trades solely in Time Money, we realize that during the
transition from "old civ" to "new civ" there may well need to be some
mix of Time Money and state money to make certain trades possible.
All messages to this Trading Board should be directed to
ao479@lafn.org or New Civilization, Post Office Box 18155, Encino,
California, U.S.A. 91416. A backup e-mail address is
71210.177@compuserve.com.
For an overview of New Civilization Model One, an introductory
essay, and other information, please see our world-wide-web home
page at http://newciv.org/worldtrans/newcivencino.html. If you have
any questions about how New Civilization Model One works, please
contact us at one of the addresses noted above, and we will be happy
to help you explore the new paradigm within which we are operating.
Thanks for you interest!
***JOBS AVAILABLE***
(The last two New Civ Model One jobs below are N E W on this
list.)
NEW CIVILIZATION MODEL ONE HAS THE FOLLOWING
JOB OPENINGS... EARN TIME MONEY CREDITS....WORK AT
HOME VIA E-MAIL, FAX, PHONE, OR JOIN US IN PERSON
AS WELL, FOR AS LITTLE AS AN HOUR EACH MONTH!
1. REAL ESTATE DONATIONS SOLICITORS: Locate donations
of real estate, primarily in Southern California.
2. SITE DEVELOPER: Develop the first phase of operations of
the New Civ Model One Mynda site near Ojai, California, U.S.A.
3. HEALTH RESEARCHER/WRITER: research and write
bulletins for achieving basic good health.
4. TEAM BUILDER: obtain commitments from present and new
volunteers to give their time to taking care of our volunteers who
need help in emergencies or retirement/unemployment.
5. VIDEOGRAPHERS/VIDEO EDITORS/WEB PAGE MAKERS:
Join the ArtCo team that is in the very early stages of writing and
producing videos, films and web pages for promotion and education
of New Civ Model One concepts and projects.
6. MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NEW
CIVILIZATION CORPORATION: we are seeking several new
members of the Board of New Civilization, a California non-profit,
public-benefit corporation.
7. PUBLICATIONS PRODUCTION: we need several persons to
help write and publish our numerous publications, both printed and
on cyberspace.
8. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: new products for our
various product lines are needed through idea generation and
prototype development. This includes solar devices, health products,
educational materials (including correspondence courses) and many
others in the idea stages.
9. GRANT PROPOSAL WRITERS: we are working on a grant
proposal program, and need several persons to think up good
proposals and take them all the way through to submission to
donors.
10. E-MAIL TEAM SYSOP: if you are proficient on the Internet
with e-mail lists and web pages, we need you to run our cyberspace
operations.
11. TRADING BOARD MANAGER: we need someone to manage
this very Trading Board. You would gather and screen the new ads
between updates, post them on the Board via word processing and
e-mail (and, soon, onto our Home Page on the World Wide Web,
where it will be updated very often), and coordinate with our
BankCo division to work out Time Money and possible mixes of
state money to create the best ad.
12. BANKCO DIVISION MANAGER: if you have always wanted
to be the manager of a bank, this is for you! Actually, our BankCo
Division is much more than a bank... it is more like the Mondragon
bank/consulting organization that helps people succeed in business,
and facilitates trading between members. The Manager would also
prepare the monthly Time Money Accounts Summary. This job
would involve just a few hours a month, unless you want to make
more of it (and there is a lot more that can be done).
START YOUR OWN "CYBERSPACE" REAL ESTATE
BUSINESS AT HOME IN YOUR SPARE TIME....
SPACECO IS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO DEVELOP AND
PARTICIPATE IN A JOBS-TRANSITION PROGRAM: The
SpaceCo Division of New Civilization Model One is in the very early
stages of establishing a program to help unemployed and retired
persons, and persons who are not happy with their present jobs.
SpaceCo will give you consulting help to start a real estate business,
and, in turn, you will help SpaceCo obtain donations of real estate.
It is expected that heavy use of the Internet will be employed to
network your services and offerings.
The goal is to help New Civ volunteers move from being dependent
on earning only state money. Participants in this experimental
program would still work to some extent "outside" for $US, but
would also work more and more "inside" SpaceCo for Time Money.
Financial counseling would be available to help reduce the need for
$US. SpaceCo volunteers in this program would be working on
soliciting charitable contributions of real estate. All work would be
done from the volunteer's home, and the real estate involved would
be in the volunteer's home town, or anywhere in the U.S.A. The
volunteer's own related and synergistic $US business will be
providing real estate services, including maintenance and
management.
SpaceCo would comply with the New Civilization Human Way
Company policy of not paying $US salaries to any volunteer, but
would help volunteers get more for their Time Money, give guidance
on how to earn $US and how to reduce the need for $US. Also,
residential and other property would be sought in this program to
give participants a place to live and work.
We are currently exploring the establishment of a relationship with
a major nation-wide real estate brokerage firm that would assist in
the acquisition and sale of donated real estate of any type anywhere
in the U.S.A.
If you are interested please contact SpaceCo at ao479@lafn.org
ORGANIC GARDENERS needed to grow vegetables and fruits
organically, on your land or at the New Civilization Model One
Mynda Demonstration site ( 9-1/2 acres ( approximately 3 hectares))
near Ojai, California, U.S.A.
CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERS AND WORKERS needed to help
build the New Civ minimum-code, low-impact, low-cost, two-
bedroom, one-bathroom, easy-to-build, world-wide model house at
the New Civ Mynda site noted above. Our inhouse architect is
currently drawing the plans. Engineering services are needed to
determine the nature of the foundation, so that it is flood resistant,
since most of the land lies in a flood plain. Workers may also opt
for living in the house after it is finished, and acting as site manager,
organic gardener or alternative energy crew member. (A grant
proposal has been submitted by us to the Organic Farming
Foundation to obtain $US to pay an outside engineer, but we do not
count on this... our first grant proposal.)
(The following job is for $US, and is N E W on this Board.)
TV CABLE COMPANY IN LOS ANGELES AREA MAY HAVE
OPENINGS FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS... this ad comes from one of our
long-time members, who happens to work in this company. A
personal interview and a job application come first. Contact New
Civ Model One at the addresses noted below, and we will put you in
contact. $US paid, but we hope if you get hired you will help us
learn more about the TV cable business for Model One education
and publicity purposes!
(The following jobs are N E W on this Board.)
MUSE SALON FORMING IN HOUSTON, TEXAS U.S.A.,
NEEDS BOARD MEMBERS: a non-profit corporation is being
formed by one of our members, the purpose of which is to design
and create a "muse salon"... a place that will be a delight of sounds
and sights and aromas, and a sanctuary for those who need to get
away for a bit of time from the old civ and enter the new civ. Board
of Directors members will be paid only in Time Money credits, and
can be located anywhere. Meetings of the Board will take place by
e-mail, snail mail, by telephone, and, if possible, in person.

monetary systems. This service is available for state money, for
possible barter of office space and/or C programming, and, to a very
limited extent, for Time Money. The Time Money service is started

techniques in a simple step by step method... to bring your highest
potential into focus." This course is normally provided for
US$100.00, but it may be possible to offer it with a mix of New Civ
Time Money. Strict confidentiality is maintained. Send your inquiry
to New Civ Model One at the addresses below and we will forward
it to the course provider.

you some thoughts on all this. Initial consultation... one Time
Money Credit.
TIME MONEY LOANS are available for those new members who
do not have a Time Money account as yet. (Of course, you can earn
Time Money credits by working on any part of New Civilization
Model One... one hour worked earns one Time Money credit. Work
at home via e-mail, in person, by fax, phone or snail mail as well.)
HELP TEAMS will be assembled to help any of our members in
times of need or crisis of any type. You can be anywhere in the
world, and we will try to help in any way we can. We do this by
putting out a call for the formation of a specific team to help out the
person in need or crisis. We are willing to help anyone in any
situation, but make no promises, since it all depends on where you
are, what you need, and who we can get on your team. This all
includes retired, unemployed, homeless and handicapped persons.
(Our first such Help Team was formed a few weeks ago to attempt
to help one of our members who found herself homeless when she
lost her job. We are still working on this one.)
THINK TANK SERVICES OF A VERY CREATIVE SORT are
available from the New Civilization Model One ThinkCo Division.

(The first listing below is N E W on this Board)
NORTHWESTERN MAINE! Bill Ellis of Tranet has 40 acres of
woodland open for development by a Community Land Trust or

addresses at the end of this Board for more details.
FORTY ACRES NEAR MOUNT SHASTA, AND 9-1/2 ACRES
NEAR OJAI, CALIFORNIA U.S.A ARE AVAILABLE FOR
NEW CIVILIZATION PROJECTS... thanks to our long time
member Jon Stevens, his 40 acre site near Mount Shasta is available
for New Civilization Model One-related projects. Also, the New Civ
corporation's 9-1/2 acre site near Ojai is likewise available. These
are both wilderness sites with no improvements or structures on
them, which makes them ideal for many experiments and projects
that do not harm the land. This could include simple living
arrangements. This will require considerable planning before entry
on the land. Please send us your thoughts to the addresses at the
end of this Board below.
***JOBS NEEDED***
WRITING, COWRITING, EDITING AND PROOFREADING
manuscripts, articles, brochures, and other written or cyberspace
communications. New Civ Model One member Gregory Wright,
winner of the 1992 grand prize of the Institute of Social Inventions,
offers his amazing language skills on an hourly, daily or job
assignment basis, for state money and perhaps some Time Money
blended in. We will send your inquiries to Greg, who, by the way,
is an incredible idea-generation person as well, as some of you know!
***IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS NEEDED***
IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS NEEDED FOR THE GLOBAL
IDEAS BANK... AN INTERNATIONAL SUGGESTION BOX...
now running on the world wide web under the auspices of the prize-
winning New Civilization Network of Flemming Funch. Needed are
creative proposals, suggestions, concepts, visions or ideas large or
small on any topic. You can view the Global Ideas Bank at
http://newciv.org/worldtrans/BOV/BOVTOP.html. Send us your
contribution, and we will pass it on to Flemming. Particularly good
notions on how to build and test a much more intelligent and
advanced civilization may qualify for New Civ Model One Time
Money Awards as well! (Please be sure to note on your notion that
it is being submitted for New Civ Model One prize consideration.)
***GOODS NEEDED***
ORGANIC FOOD is needed from any location, for distribution to
those who need it. Time Money credits are paid, and we may be
able to help with the shipping costs.
***REAL ESTATE NEEDED***
(Part of the first listing below is N E W.)
REAL ESTATE of all types is needed by New Civilization Model
One anywhere in the world, but especially in Southern California and
the Western United States. We prefer to have real estate donated,
and the donor gets a substantial tax advantage in some cases. Also,
if we do not manage to get enough land donated, we will be willing
to purchase raw wilderness land for from $30.00 to $100.00/acre...
from 200 to 600 acres, with $1,000.00 down payment and
$150.00/month until paid, 7% simple interest, $300.00 closing costs,
and not to exceed $20,000.00 purchase price. We would ideally like
to pay for some of the land in Time Money. The land MUST have
an insurable easement to a public road (that is, it must not be land
locked), and it must be free of toxic waste and any other
environmental problems.
***DONATIONS NEEDED***
(The first ad below is N E W on this Board.)
REAL ESTATE LAND FUND DONATIONS NEEDED
($5.00/MONTH)
We need all our members to pledge to donate (tax deductible)
$5.00/month to our land fund, to help us increase our small $US
bank account, so we can bid on bigger pieces of raw land. You will
have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping finance the purchase
of land we need to create a demonstration town, or at least a model
community.
DONATIONS OF $US FOR OPERATING EXPENSES NEEDED
BY NEW CIVILIZATION CORPORATION... RECEIVE A
CHARITABLE TAX DEDUCTION: send your funds to the address
noted below, and we will acknowledge your contribution in writing
for your tax records. Also, please keep us in mind when you prepare
your will, your living or testamentary trust, and your estate planning
in general. You will have that good feeling that comes with knowing
that you have helped a very good cause... building a much better
world using a systems approach. (New Civilization is a section
501(c)(3) organization with currently-in-force letters from the IRS
and the State of California.)
***SERVICES NEEDED***
(The following ad is N E W on this Board.)
HIGH-QUALITY DRUG ADDICTION SERVICES NEEDED for
heroin addicts, including artists' halfway houses and recovery centers,
preferably in California, U.S.A., but will consider other locations if
the services come highly recommended. Please contact New Civ
HealthCo/ArtCo if you know of truly good services of this type.

(New Civilization is a California (U.S.A.), public-benefit, non-profit
corporation that began as a discussion group in the early 1980's, and
incorporated in 1986. The corporation is independent of any other
group, but relates to many other persons, groups and networks. No
person within the corporation is paid any salary in state money, but
members do earn Time Money credits for work done (one hour
worked earns one Time Money credit). We are non-violent, peace
loving, and open to all persons and viewpoints. We are not a
religious or political organization, and take no position on such
matters. We do not advocate any actions that would violate any law
of any jurisdiction in which we operate. We are educational in
purpose, and are now operating Model One of a much more loving,
very intelligent and advanced new civilization.)
