Philadelphia
Development in Philly is out of control, worsening conditions for working class people & the environment. Hundreds of community activists took to the streets to set the tone for Philly's 2023 election: anyone running for mayor or city council better have policy solutions for ensuring long-term, working class residents have a place in this city and that Philly is truly tackling and prepared for the climate crisis.
The march was organized by community groups fighting for land justice across our city, including Philly Thrive, Sunrise Movement, VietLead, Save UCTownhomes, Save the Meadows, Cobbs Creek EJ, and more!
As a part of the Environment Day celebrations students of Udgam School participated in a wide range of activities. The day began on a solemn note wherein the ways in which we are harming the environment were taken up alongwith the joint measures that need to be taken to save the planet. The celebration started with a pledge to save the environment in all possible ways. Soon the events began and students joined elocution, poster making, slogan creating, jingle creating, best out of waste and many such activities under the able guidance of their teachers. The children thoroughly enjoyed the activities especially being in a group and working together for a common goal, which is the essence of the school. No wonder even on a school holiday there were so many participants all agog to join in for the cause of the environment amidst some fun.
Things like carpet and plastic twine get wrapped around trees, so we need to cut them. Old wheels and bicycles get bogged down in the mud of the bank and need to be dug out.

What can I do to determine an object to show in front or behind another object?
As you can see, I want to cover up a row of macros with a wide text object. But result is rather random. It seems that any new macros I make will show in front. Please help!

The Salvation Army accepts responsibility for the environment by actively taking steps to regenerate and conserve God’s creation. In 1908, salvage work and the beginning of the retail store program commenced in Toronto. There are currently more than 300 thrift stores across the country offering excellent value at an affordable price. Proceeds are channeled back into the services and program that assist more than 1.5 million people each year.
With a continued commitment to environmental responsibility, recent annual totals show that Salvation Army thrift stores have diverted 60 million pounds of materials from landfills across Canada. The Salvation Army is always striving for innovative ways to recycle, resulting in the creation of programs such a used jeans programs that prevents heaps of the torn garments from reaching landfill sites by re-using portions of the material to create quilts, purses, cushions, etc
During our Environment Unit we tested the water tolerance of 4 different types of plant seeds - barley, radish, corn and pea.
We planted 3 seeds of each plant into 4 containers. Everything was kept the same except we add different amounts of water to each container. One container had no water, and contained dry soil, one container we added moist soil but no water. We added 40mls of water to one container and 80mls of water to the last container. We also had one class container labeled swamp - it had 120ml of water added to it. All containers were sealed in zip-lock bags.
Feb. 26, 2016 marked the final day of our Environmental Film Festival in Paramaribo. The Paramaribo Zoo brought a baby howler monkey to our 10:30 a.m. screening. And Environmental Policy Advisor to the President of Suriname Dr. Haydi Berrenstein and Ambassador Nolan spoke at the evening screening.

This exercise- conducted from February 1 to February 8, 2018- included meetings with implementing stakeholders and partners and field visits to some of the activities implemented under the project.
Here, the World Bank Team is joined by the Nordic Development Fund (NDF) Representative, RWFA and REMA for a tour at the National Seeds Centre in Huye District. This Centre will be supported under the "Improving the Efficiency and Sustainability of Charcoal and Wood Fuel Value Chains" project financed by NDF. This new project- launched on February 6, 2018- will be implemented as part of LAFREC
Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.
