.\\
* Education: TED Talks, X-Prizes, certain research grants, sophisticated schools, university resources, homeschooling and hackschooling, shared community resources such as Wikipedia or Libraries. Students contributing to Wikipedia. \\
.\\
* Science, Technology, Gadgets: Water Desalination (large scale), Paperless databases, faster computer processors and increased storage, medical exoskeletons, robotics, cellphones, statistics databases, non-destructive electricity sources, pharmacies, optical fiber internet. \\
.\\
* Organizations and Charities: Hospitals. Healing Careers. Google.org. Certifications. Good Will. Sponsoring a Child. Big Brother programs. Boy Scouts of America. \\
.\\
* Good Human Traits: Forgiveness. Morality. Faithfulness. Obedience. Kindness. Charity. Wisdom. Intelligence. Sharing. Objectivity. \\
.\\
* Tech and Science: Electron Microscope. GPS Maps & Tracking. 3D Scanning and Printing at home and industrial. Boston Dynamics Robotics. Opensource News. Podcasts of all kinds. Airless rubber-spoke tires. Wikipedia is a knowledge compendium. \\
.\\
* Medical Research: Surgeries. Portable health scanning. Blood testing. Gnome Mapping. Prosthetic leg/arm. Cures for Disease and Birth Disabilities. Mental/Physical Illness Treatment. Organ transplants. \\
.\\
* Medical: We need easily-readable blood test results, with fast results. With healthiness-percentage ratings on each tested chemical. \\
.\\
* Medical: Automated issue detection kiosk, scanning your biofeedback in numerous ways, would save time and give doctors context clues and diagnostics. Comparing your issues and resolutions to others, just like with cars.\\
.\\
* Mr Yuck sticker as an international symbol of problems. Placed on anything voted to have a low trust-ability rating. Instead of indicating poison chemicals, Mr Yuck logo could indicate a lying TV commercial or misleading statement. Chrome Internet Browser has a similar feature called "WOT Web of Trust". Placing a red or green dot next to web results. Perhaps Snopes could have a internally recognizable logo indicating bad products and services. The BBB isn't always trusted, can be bought to some degree, gives a good rating to many corrupt practices, and doesn't indicate publicly warn of a corrupt business. \\
.\\
* Myth-Killing, Content Ratings, FCC Ratings, BBB Ratings. Ratings systems have a huge upside, and often a huge down side such as censoring freedom or mistaken bans. \\

Source: TV Show "Dirty Great Machines Episode 5 Titans of Tunneling, from 2002. Status of project to be updated here. General drinking water quality remains in question with a number of other pollution and carbon footprint issues.\\

What is Sin?\\
.\\
* The Bible says: \\
.\\
* BibleGateway.com says: \\
.\\
* Wikipedia says;\\
Anything that violates the ideal relationship between an individual and God; or as any diversion from the ideal order for human living. Sin has been defined as "to miss the mark"... Sins fall in a spectrum from minor errors to deadly misdeeds... Biblical terms that have been translated from Greek and Hebrew literally refer to missing a target, i.e. error. [2].\\
.\\
* Wikipedia goes on to say;\\
In Western Christianity, sin is believed to alienate the sinner from God even though He has extreme love for humanity. Sin has damaged, and completely severed, the relationship of humanity to God. That relationship can only be restored through acceptance of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for humanity's sin. Humanity was destined for life with God when Adam disobeyed God. The Bible in John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, so that whoever believes will not perish, but have everlasting life."[2].\\
