Lalita Prasida Sripada Srisai is a 13-year-old genius. She’s only in 9th grade, attending DPS Damanjodi, a school in a small town in the Koraput district in the Indian state of Odisha.

She won the ‘Community Impact Award’ at the Google Science Fair in California for her incredible invention. She won in the 13 to 15 year old age group and received 10,000 USD as her prize. She also has the opportunity to be supported by Google to help build her project.

Lalita created a low cost bio-absorbent based water purifier. How does it work? Surprisingly, it uses corn cobs to purify the water!

Corn cobs are incredibly absorbent, making them perfect for collecting contaminants like salts, detergents, different floating particles, coloured dyes, and even some heavy metals.

In the beginning was the word and the word was God. The Hebrew translation for word can also been interpreted as sound. There are ancient mystics and sages who believe that the sound Aum or Om is the sound of creation. So, if the word of God was a sound, could that be the reason for this material creation?

Back in the 1960’s Swiss scientist Dr. Hans Gerry researched the Cymatic frequencies and how they influence physical form. His exploration of the effects of Cymatic frequencies on matter came up with some breathtaking results, and I have included the links at the end of this article. As Cymatics shows us, sound creates form and really does affect our physical condition in many ways. Sound also has the power to heal, and this is what I aim to explore with this article.

Lettuce Evolve is an Aquarium-Powered Garden System that allows you to grow tons of fresh food for you and your family, while saving time, space, and money.

The system is extremely versatile; it can be used Aquaponically (with fish) or Hydroponically (without fish), or you can simply fill it up with soil and use it as a vertical dirt garden.

When used Aquaponically, the fish poop provides one of nature’s most potent fertilizers, giving you plants that grow up to 3x faster and are loaded with nutrients.

Its modular design allows you to grow more food in the same space by adding on additional garden boxes as you need. The garden boxes are even wall mountable if you choose to have single standalone soil gardens, or attach the entire garden stack to a wall and add-on to an existing system.

Just a day after pharmacy workers from a Brooklyn Target store formed a union, the company announced plans to replace employees with robot workers in the near future.

Last week it was reported that the pharmacists had submitted their initial “microunion” filing with the National Labor Relations Board after an initial ballot vote was passed 7 -2. The filing was noteworthy as the workers become the first union at any Target store since the retailer opened in 1902.

Yet, less than a week later, in a seemingly unrelated press release, Casey Carl, the Chief Technology and Strategy Officer at Target announced the company’s plan to develop automation systems and replace workers with robots in their retail locations as part of a new program with Techstars, an industry leader with a reputation for accelerating startups.

Mars, Saturn, and Neptune form a mutable t-square for the duration of this week, which becomes an ephemeral grand cross when the quickly transiting Moon enters the Gemini sign at the end of the week, October 1. The t-square and especially the grand cross have a karmic flavor, courtesy of Moon and Saturn. The aggressive Mars adds his passionate and active influence to the pattern via the earthy Virgo sign, and the cool, transcending Neptune in his home sign Pisces dominates the pattern as the strongest planet by sign. While the pattern can hardly be described as easy, many useful themes emerge from the tense aspects among the mighty planets. The inspiration to surmount obstacles despite the difficulties is certainly a salient theme this week. Overcoming past difficulties might be as well – can you finally cross the finish line somehow this week? Jupiter in Virgo has a subtle influence among the pattern formed by Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune, but perhaps he holds the key to dealing with the tense energies. Can seeing both the forest (big picture) and the trees (details) generate the results you need? The idea of personal growth combined with expanding limits is another relevant idea for this week.
