From Sabre Corportate Development There are 6 major stages that can easily be identified in a response to change. People will progress through them at different rates and the introduction of new change initiatives atop existing ones can actually force people to go up and down these stages or to regress.

Happiness or a broken heart – your choice
Science is joining the enlightened, yogis and holonics in confirming that being happy is healthy. A US study shows that being happy and positive has an impact on the risk of heart disease. They also said that it is the ability to be happy that is the challenge. The excuse – that it is difficult …

Radical opening up of the auto industry
From The Ecologist: The open-source hydrogen car set to change the industry by Alex McDonald Cars are evil, right? But what if they ran on hydrogen, did 300 miles per gallon, were leased rather than owned, and were produced under an open source business model… We have often been introduced to the car of tomorrow, …

Magnetricity demonstrated
The world of electro-magnetism appears to overlap the world of spirituality. We’ve know for a couple of centuries that electricity creates a magnetic field.

US to cut missile defence plan. A good start.
The US has cancelled or postponed the plan to emplace missiles in Poland. This is good news. Increasing the volume of armaments is a ludicrous policy in a world where people are dying of malnutrition and thirst and where a gun has no practical purpose except to kill another person. The resources would be better …

Togetherness – fights pain, increases fun
A study at Oxford University shows that exercising together appears to increase the level of the feel-good endorphin hormones naturally released during physical exertion. An unexpected result perhaps, though it reinforces the notion that team work is more productive than individual performance. We know that teams can be synergistic, that is 1 + 1 = …

$ 10 trillion and rising. Does it mean anything.
Another perspective released today is that everyone has spent $10,ooo each on the bailout of economies. $ 10 trillion is a lot of value, but may not mean much to anyone. It’s enough to buy a country, or two. We are were we are. The money is gone. The question remains about whether or not …
