Change the world with a single email
 
googleAmazing but true! Google has announced that they are putting $10,000,000 into project 10100 (pronounced "Project 10 to the power of 100") - a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible.
 
Visit this website before October 20th and fill in the online submission form giving Google your idea. You can even supplement the proposal with a 30 second video clip if you'd like.
 
Starting on January 27th, Google will post a selection of ideas that have been submitted and ask people in the general public to choose 20 semi-finalists. Then, a board will select up to 5 final ideas.
 
We would like to suggest that you all submit an application for the health category (Health: How can we help individuals lead longer, healthier lives?) asking for the judges to look into the link between vaccinations and chronic disease, brain damage including ASD (autistic spectrum disorders) and death. Feel free to mention the AVN in your submission. The more people who submit about a particular subject - the more likely that subject is of getting picked as one of the semi-finalists.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for us to raise the profile of this subject and should only take a few minutes. You don't need to provide any specific information - though feel free to if you are so inclined - especially if you have a child or family member who is vaccine-affected.

Eczema Still On The Increase Across The Globe

Experts are warning policy makers that allergic disease might replace infectious disease as a major cause of ill health in cities undergoing rapid demographic changes in developing countries. New research tracking the number of cases of childhood eczema across the globe has revealed big changes in the prevalence of the condition over the last five to ten years and suggests that environmental factors could be having a significant impact.

Majority Of Children Vaccinated Against Hepatitis B Not At Increased Risk Of Multiple Sclerosis, Study Shows

American Kids Most Medicated

Merrill W. Chase Is Dead at 98; Scientist Who Advanced Immunology
Dr. Chase made his landmark discovery in the early 1940's while working with Dr. Karl Landsteiner, a Nobel laureate recognised for his work identifying the human blood groups. At the time, experts believed that the body mounted its attacks against pathogens primarily through antibodies circulating in the blood stream, known as humoral immunity. But Dr. Chase, working in his laboratory, stumbled upon something that appeared to shatter that widespread tenet. As he tried to immunize a guinea pig against a disease using antibodies he had extracted from a second pig, he found that blood serum did not work as the transfer agent. Not until he used white blood cells did the immunity carry over to the other guinea pig, providing solid evidence that it could not be antibodies alone orchestrating the body's immune response. (ed note: a lesson we still haven't learned almost 70 years later since we still claim that vaccines protect via the reation of antibodies alone.)
 
 
Flu vaccine delivered into lungs gives better results
Delivering flu vaccines straight into the lungs instead of through routine injections could trigger a far stronger immune response, a study has found.
 
The world is expected to be extremely short of vaccines in the event of a flu pandemic, so the search for the best way to deliver vaccines is important because it would economise on the quantity of each dose.

EarthGoogle and GE outline plans for smart grid

Green energy to create 20 million jobs
Development of alternative energy should create more than 20 million jobs around the world in coming decades as governments adopt policies to address the depletion of resources, according to a UN report. Some 2.3 million people around the world already work in alternative energy jobs with half of them in biofuels, said the report.
 

Friends of the Earth withdraws from Forest Stewardship Council
Friends of the Earth (FoE) is the first major international NGO to confirm they no longer support Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, which falsely suggests primary and old-growth forest logging is desirable and even sustainable, and that plantations are forests. This is a major victory for those including Ecological Internet (EI) and FSC-Watch[1] who have courageously taken on large environmental interests using FSC to greenwash ancient forest destruction.
 
"FoE is to be commended for their courage in admitting all forest certification schemes including FSC are failing forests, climate and peoples globally. FSC plantation and ancient forest logging standards have been shown to be a fraud, business as usual forest destruction." 
 

Emissions rising faster than ever
Global carbon emissions rose rapidly in 2007, an annual study says, with developing nations such as China and India now producing more than half of mankind's output of carbon dioxide, the main gas blamed for global warming. The Global Carbon Project said in its report carbon dioxide emissions from mankind are growing about four times faster since 2000 than during the 1990s, despite efforts by a number of nations to rein in emissions under the Kyoto.
