    199 ways to please God

    This book aims to increase awareness about the current state of our environment and Islamic injunctions to play our part in protecting it as guardians of Creation ("We appointed you viceroys in the earth after them, that We might see how you behave.", Yunus/Jonah [10] 14). It includes some disconcerting facts about the current state of affairs, but hopes this will serve as inspiration for positive action (oftentimes saving money at the same time).

    Casa Verde - International location

    This shows our exact location in Nicaragua. Remember - our main office and starting point is Portland, OR and our international location (the actual Casa Verde site) is based in Nicaragua. This is where students and volunteers will eventually arrive after receiving hands on training in the US to gain the skills and principles of sustainable living.

    Casa Verde's Nicaraguan site

    This is a view from the beautiful Casa Verde site in Nicaragua.

    Casa Verde’s Student Center in Nicaragua is being built using sustainable materials and indigenous practices to the furthest extent possible. This supports not only a healthy and engaged lifestyle at Casa Verde, but all infrastructure and buildings will be used as a living educational tools. The facility itself will be a model to demonstrate how to replicate these practices and give students hands on experience with green and alternative systems.

    Let's do lunch

    Other than in the very early days of School of Everything we've always worked in Bethnal Green in east London. That's mainly Geoff Mulgan's fault because he offered us some free office space in the Young Foundation building. It's a wonderful place, full of interesting projects and organisations and surrounded by a few cafes which we used to frequent on a regular basis.

    Social Norms? Twitter Users Follow the 79/7 Rule in the U.K.

    The Pareto principle, more commonly known as the 80/20 rule, is the idea that roughly 80 percent of activity will be accounted for by 20 percent of the participants. Vilfredo Pareto’s initial observation at the start of the 20th century, that 80 percent of Italy’s land was owned by 20 percent of the population, has become a common rule of thumb in business, but does it hold up when tracking activity for the U.K.’s most popular social networks?

    Must Read Social Media Books

    Reading books has just got social. Social media that is. Having just done a search on social media books at Waterstones I found that they were 529 books with social media in the title. Examples include The social media bible and Social media goes corporate. If we take a moment and think about what the landscape was like a few years ago one could argue that most of the books would not have anything to do with social media.

    Can anybody do healing?

    Can anybody do healing?

    Everyone has the natural ability to heal. The two main ingredients to make a successful healer are the ability to give love unconditionally and the intention to channel universal healing energies for you will be acting as a conduit for the energies of love. These energy streams are of such high vibration that they will uplift the spirits of the person you are helping and assist in the releasing of the imprints left of their energy field by past experiences. This will help them to let go anxiety and disharmony resulting in feelings of calm and balance.

    Indigenous Perspectives Conference

    One of Britain's leading adventurers, Benedict Allen, is to open the Indigenous Perspectives Conference on Monday 12th October. Allen is the author of 11 books, but is probably best known for his TV programmes of exploration and endurance. His first-hand experience of indigenous people in jungle, tundra and desert qualifies him to speak with authority and warmth at this one-day conference at the Pierian Centre.
