• UK scientists, economists and businessmen including Sir David King, currently the UK’s climate change envoy, Lord Nicholas Stern and ex-BP chief Lord John Browne launched a moonshot plan yesterday. The goal is to make the cost of clean electricity lower than that from coal-fired power stations across the world within 10 years. The Global Apollo Programme calls for £15 billion a year (more than $23 billion), or at least 0.02 percent of GDP participating countries, of spending on green energy and energy storage research. It is the same funding in today’s money that the US Apollo program spent in putting astronauts on the moon. The US, Japan, China, India, Korea, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and more countries, are interested. King said he hoped the Apollo project would launch in November, just ahead of the upcoming UN climate change summit in Paris which nations have set a deadline for a global deal.

• The Fourth State of Water:   Professor Gerald Pollack of the University of Washington has found that the cells of our bodies are actually filled with and surrounded by a fourth state of water (in between solid and liquid) which is highly structured (crystalline like), and has the chemical composition H3O2.  The structured water is negatively charged and is surrounded by positively charged water - a perfect arrangement for a battery.  In his research, Professor Pollack has discovered that the mechanism uses light for “charging” this battery - similar to photosynthesis.  So, the quality of the water you drink matters (ideally structured so the body does less work, but at a minimum removed of all contaminants and toxins - beyond just simple filtration), and the quality and daily quantity of light you are getting from food (green plants being best along with other vegetables) and natural sunlight are critical to achieving optimum health.

• "One-Mind awareness helps me see how I can make a difference.  In today’s world, we can feel overwhelmed by the challenges we face.  What difference can my efforts as a single individual possibly make? The One Mind increases our sense of adequacy and what is possible, because through it we have access to all wisdom and knowledge. We realize we don’t need to know and do everything individually, because we are a part of the Great Connect. We are never alone.  We are an infinite team, not a lone wolf.  The pressure eases.  A lightness of mind and spirit arises, and perhaps a sense of humor.  Now that is different!” - Dr. Larry Dossey from his new book, One Mind.
