In some of what I have written over the years, I have urged readers to consider accessing the incredible power of meditation. It not only relieves stress but it also improves health and mental acuity; it can lead you to answers to challenging questions; it has the power to help you manifest into your life what seems like the impossible; and it generally makes you a much nicer person.
The biggest complaint I have heard stems from the impatience of...Read more

The World Business Academy [www.worldbusiness.org] tells me that water has moved to the top of corporate concerns, boosted by the fact that the World Economic Forum has classified water scarcity as among the top five global risks. Major companies, funds and banks are driving improved water management using new tools like the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas and True Cost of Water.
Not many people realize how critical an issue this is, and that much of it is a product...Read more

Could Israel and Saudi Arabia, two perennial adversaries, be scheming to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities? Events over the past several months say yes, at least that’s the conclusion of analysts reporting in a recent issue of the Oil & Investment Report. I believe the arguments are quite credible.
U. S. President Obama dispatched Secretary of State John Kerry to Iran to negotiate an agreement whereby that country would forgo continued pursuit of nuclear power and the capability to produce nuclear...Read more

There are uncomfortable parallels between Hitler’s actions in Czechoslovakia and Putin’s moves in the Crimea and Ukraine.
In 1938, brandishing the threat of war, Hitler pressured UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier to coerce then president of Czechoslovakia Edvard Beneš, to allow Germany to annex a significant part of its northern and western borderlands, collectively known as Sudetenland.

Dr. James Hansen, a leading world expert on climate change has been my hero for more than a decade. But he now has brought me great disappointment. On November 3, 2013, Dr. Hansen decided to support the construction of large numbers of nuclear plants as way to save the day for climate change [http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/03/world/nuclear-energy-climate-change-scientists/].
