[IT] IS TIME methinks for us to consider THE WHAT IS of Transition
and THE WHAT IF of Transition in the context of developing the
IDEA of the Totnes £21 Pound note and the Lewes Pound by way
of utilising the blockchain technology of WE ARE ONE.

h judges praising it as “inspiring” and “socially aware”. It rewards years of significant upheaval for the museum, founded three decades ago by Sir Terence Conran.
In 2016 it moved west from its beautiful but too small premises near Tower Bridge, in what used to be a banana-ripening warehouse, to the former Commonwealth Institute in Kensington.
The move gave it three times more space and came with an ambition to do “what Tate Modern did for contemporary art, for design”. Alice Black, the museum’s co-director, said being named European museum of the year was a remarkable achievement, which celebrated its “common European future”.

ts without the transparent accountability of proof against their promises has run its course. Now, the paradigm of power we’ve accepted as permanent is putting the people and the planet’s capacity to produce living systems in peril. Yet, the very roots of this economic reality of owners and the owned is challenged by the new technical realities of friction free transactions. Yes, the very transactions that cost us everything to pay back those who create economic instruments that cost them nothing are in question. What happens when we’re fully equipped to control both our means of production, distribution and exchange? When our sovereign identities are our global credit lines, our data is our own money, and our decentralised communication instruments are our own banks and governments? Does the paradigm of 300 owning more than the billions of the rest of us combined still hold? What power can owners hold over people who are free? #FreeYourLife Maybe what gets us through the confusion of this century shifts the story of us forward for the next millennia and beyond. So we’re working on making that next story of us real. Support us and learn more as we deliver new eyes and ears to see another world of possibilities within this #ONE. Ray Podder

One of the most distinctive characteristics of Bridget Riley's art is that it "insists" with such concentration that it changes sensory response into something else. The experience which Riley offers is closely related to the expression of emotion or, more exactly, to the creation of visual analogues for sharply particularized states of mind. The very intensity of the assault which her painting makes on the eye drives it, as it were, past the point at which it is merely a matter of optical effect. It becomes acute physical sensation, apprehended kinesthetically as mental tension or mental release, anxiety or exhileration, heightened self-awareness or heightened awareness of unfamiliar or even alien states of being.

y and oneness on us, and on all things in the universe. The world
is like a vast hologram, coded by basic patterns that “in-form” the
entire cosmic matrix known as spacetime.
There is nothing entirely random and meaningless in this world;
there are no truly chance events. LIFE itself is not a random
accident. The latest discoveries show that organic macromolecules,
the basic elements of life, are synthesized already in the physical
and chemical evolution of stars even before they emerge and evolve
as biological organisms on some planets ... (Spectral analysis of
comet ISON will no doubt eventually prove this to be the case)
The evolution of life is not a fortuitous event in the world, but
the expression of a coherent logic carried by universal laws." Ervin Laszlo

The Atlantic’s Ideas section, which I oversee, aims to build on this rich legacy. The essays published in Ideas continue to challenge readers’ preconceptions. Yoni Appelbaum Senior Editor, The Atlantic
3 years before the United Nations made its Declaration of Human Rights President Roosevelt's science advisor, Dr. Vannevar Bush - published in the July edition of Atlantic Monthly - his IDEA of a wondrous machine which he called a memex. A machine which would enable you to search through information with incredible speed. You could pinpoint a thought in a book, leap to a related piece, pointing to a newspaper story and go on linking ideas until you built, in essence, a record tracing your own train of thought - one which you could pass along to friends and associates. All of which would be considerably closer to the way the MIND works.

"[IT]'s critical that we find the cartographers of

centred on the tipping point to second tier, it's
within our potential take on this challenge...
"to provide for the rest of the world the
kinds of models that the world needs."

almost all of it belongs to King Charles III. Or, to be more precise, the Crown Estate—the commercial real estate business that owns and manages vast swaths of land and property belonging to the British monarch.
The Crown Estate’s property empire includes Twitter’s London HQ, multiple shopping centers, and the Ascot racecourse, but its dominion extends well beyond the shores of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Since 1964, the Crown Estate has laid claim to the UK’s entire continental shelf, reaching hundreds of kilometers into the sea, and with it the right to grant permissions to build offshore wind turbines, lay pipelines, and store carbon under the seabed.
For years, the seabed was a sideshow to the royal family’s sprawling terrestrial property empire. But over the past few years it’s leapt in value, as a result of the booming market for renewable energy. After rising incrementally for years, the value of the seabed doubled between 2020 and 2021. By 2022, the Crown Estate estimated its marine portfolio was worth £5 billion ($6.3 billion).
