  Eviation's Zero Emissions, Quiet Commuting/Business E-Plane                                                  Source: Eviation Getting Ready to Take-off Israel's electric aviation startup Eviation continues the development of what is expected to be a breakthrough all-electric passenger plane, Alice. Alice isn't on a drawing board.  The e-plane has 92 orders from regional US air carrier Cape Air that serves primarily the Northeast US, logistical giant DHL Express for a dozen aircraft and others.  Eviation expects to deliver its first aircrafts to first buyer Cape Air. The introduction to the market will be in 2023.  This is electric aviation to watch as the e-planes taxis for takeoff. Eviation also has operations in Seattle, Washington. Alice   Alice was first unveiled as a concept in 2018 and it has undergone a series of big upgrades.  The latest is the cabin which is posh and fits right into the category of executive business travel.  There are panoramic windows, a wide p

  Inner-connectivity of the Moon & Humans                                   Source:  Stock image of Moon New Scientific Evidence of Ancient Superstitions About the Moon Ancient civilizations believed that the phases of the Moon triggered certain events.  They also believed that certain things happened only during specific phases of the Moon, like the full Moon.  New scientific research is providing credible evidence to support some of these superstitions about the interconnections between humanity and the Moon. Sleep Patterns A new study just published in the journal Science Advances demonstrates the impact of the phases of the Moon on sleep patterns.  100 volunteers from Argentina's indigenous communities and 450 volunteers from Seattle, Washington wore sleep trackers for two months to track their sleep patterns during the phases of the Moon.  The results are very surprising. Full Moon: Loss of An Hour's Sleep The indigenous people who participated in the research had very
