In This Edition:
Heartbeat measuring WiFi, hosting a website on a vape, SDG Alpha newsletter, Doughnut Economics for Business, and a tsunami early warning system!

The Basic Income for the Arts project report states that for every €1 of public money invested in artists, society received €1.39 in return, as well as reliance on social protection reducing. Our neoliberal society is predisposed to discounting the value of the arts. We should all remember that this is an economic untruth, as well as a moral betrayal.
