I teach in the public schools and constantly try to impress the students that there have been a lot of changes in my lifetime and that there will be many more changes during their lifetime. I then challenge the students to become a part of the positive changes.

Sometimes it is hard to see visual evidence of the positive changes, so I was glad to find this video on You Tube from Gapminder.  Just click on Start to view the video.  The video is about how certain health programs have made a big difference in developing countries.

By the way, these changes relate to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals directly.

There are numerous other interactive graphs and webcasts at Gapminder.  All are interesting and worth checking out.

Olivia Stefanino

Dr. Kevin focuses on two things that have been pushed to the side as unclean this week: business and politics. Dara Jane and Dr. Kevin continue their spiritual political discussion, covering areas from Federal vs. State based law systems and the two-party system, and Olivia Stefanino comes back to talk about her Quantum School, and why making money isn’t such a bad thing if it means the message can be spread to more people. With Dr. Lyn’s weekly astrological forecast about Mercury going retrograde again, it’s time to revisit things even if they might appear unpleasant.
