Hard call on my favourite piece of news today. I’ve been following the the situation in Colombia for a while and the fact that both of the major sides are inviting in the UN to help police any ceasefire is a great sign. With the recent announcement of a new Ebola case in Sierra Leone the Vaccine Alliance investing in the Ebola Vaccine is great news for helping prevent and fight future outbreaks. However, after years of being seen as a symbol of evil and corporate greed Microsoft is pledging $1bn in cloud computing resources to groups working to the public good including Non-Profits and University Research Teams. Here’s hoping to see some of the amazing things coming out of this work and research soon.

Have a great day:

• Colombia & FARC request UN Mission to Monitor any Ceasefire
• Microsoft pledges $1bn Cloud Computing Resources to Non-Profits, Uni Research & Public Good
• Vaccine Alliance signs $5m Ebola Vaccine Deal to help fight Future Outbreaks
• New Research shows Fairy Tales going back 1000 of Years
• GCHQ to pay £250 to Students at its Cyber Summer School
• UK Unemployment at 10-Year Low
• Scottish Employment at Record High
• English DNA One-Third Anglo-Saxon
• Jamie Foxx saves man from Burning Truck
