Knowledge Bomb eXperiment - books not bombs!

Inspired from a bag with the image "Books not Bombs" - a real experiment that could be tested in the real world. Pick a war, any war then drop books instead of bombs, drop knowledge instead of destruction, drop help and remove fear, drop equipment (microscopes, telescopes) to investigate the world rather than destroy it ... The amazing thing about this thought, this idea is that it can be tried now, today, at this very moment and the results can be checked.

Providing a fun learning area that is reusable and cheap to get up and running. I think this should be supported by governments and companies as a cheap and fun way to teach children and provide them with an area of creativity. So a simple kit would contain the following: enough paint to create a 2m x 2m square paint brush instructions on how to use the new "chalkboard for learning" chalk to last for a month sign up to receive a quarterly newsletter on activities for the chalkboard Number counting with Rainbow Dash ...

A Lasting Grand Design

We have only had our allotment since end of last year (Nov/2014) and have learnt that to get the most from the allotment requires a lot of time, energy and effort - sometimes to get minimal returns.  But gardening in the evening watching the sunset, picking the weeds knowing you will see them again, chewing on a broadbean picked freshly and mostly seeing the fruit and vegetables grow is possibly the most rewarding thing that has been given to all of us.   This is a suggestion for a Lasting Grand Design Project for Kevin McCloud of Grand Designs fame, the legacy of a great programme... ... let’s turn prisons into gardens! 46% of adults are reconvicted £36,808  Annual cost of a prison place 1994 Overcrowded in every year since 84,305 Prison population When it can be said by any country in the world, my poor are happy, neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them, my jails are empty of prisoners , my streets of beggars, th...
