Evolutionary Love Relationships is an uplifting and brilliant book that provides a template for more enheartened, authentic love relationships, AND invites couples, friends, and business colleagues to move their powerful relational energy into the world to effect change. Rather than limiting their gaze to each other, partners and pairings are invited to take their focus outward, channeling their energies toward those causes that both unite them and transform the world we live in. With love as the fuel for inspired action, the relationship becomes a homage to sacred purpose, finding its deeper meaning in its efforts to positively influence the planet.

This book is a heart rocket of epic proportions, so filled with wisdom that it can't help but change your world and the world we live in!

Don’t just give love to each other this Valentine’s day- Give love to the world, too. Sacred Activism trumps hate! If ever your efforts are needed, it’s now!

The World Is Still With Us

For a much-needed break from the Trump apocalypse, here are this year's World Press Photo winners. The controversial choice for photo of the year was a Turkish AP photographer Burhan Ozbilici’s shocking photograph of a 22-year-old off-duty police officer assassinating the Russian ambassador to Turkey at an art gallery opening in December 2016.

India may never need to build a new coal plant, report says

As the population and economy of India continues to grow, it wouldn’t seem so far-fetched if the country would need more coal plants to keep up with their energy demands. Thankfully, this is not the case. According to a new report, India, which is the world’s fastest-growing climate polluter, may never need to build a new coal plant again. The report shows that India has enough coal plants operating or being built to meet demand until 2026, at which point renewable energy coupled with improved energy storage and battery technology could be cheap enough to provide any needed new capacity.

Sorry if the article is in french, didn't find an english version.

Basicly I saw on facebook the University I went to (known to be lamest one in the area) got approved by the FDA in the USA to do the phase 3 clinical trials for a cancer treatment known as ANG1005.

Main reason I am sharing is that I stumbled upon the facebook post when it had 777 likes, so I'd take the synchronicity as a good omen.
