Subject: Appeal to have initiative spread “sasrai-Movement” among the Students and Factory Worker aimed at Resource & Environment responsible individual, family and community building that “End Slavery” and harmonizing environmental compliance
Dear Madam
Greetings from “sasrai-Movement” that has been working voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promoting prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reducing the abuse of resources. `sasrai’ targets to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to combat Climate Change, global warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity - finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. Road map towards the implementation of the United Nations Millennium Declaration - sasrai brings into focus Six MDGs, 09 time-bound targets and 31 quantitative indicators.
Pope’s `Laudato Si’ Attested “sasrai-Movement”
Pope’s “Cultural Revolution - sasrai-Movement” running since 2004. To materialize the Pope’s commandment UN, INGO, NGO Officials, Students and Factory worker needed to be orientated on “sasrai-Movement.”
Let’s own the “sasrai-Movement”. I am sure if you the “sasrai-Movement” very shortly it will spread across the country, globe that contribute to save the billions worth natural resource everyday as well as it could bring the leadership of different nation and country in the fighting for environmental justice, combat the human driven climate change.
We could say Pope’s environment encyclical `Laudato Si’ June 18, 2015 attested “sasrai-Movement” and UN, INGO, NGO Officials, Students, Factory worker need orientation on “sasrai-Movement” Pope’s “Cultural Revolution”

Fagiano comune / Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus )
Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkəm/)[3] is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology.[4] The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two most commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale (the common dandelion) and T. erythrospermum (the red-seeded dandelion), were introduced from Europe into North America, where they now propagate as wildflowers.[5] Both species are edible in their entirety.[6] The common name dandelion (/ˈdændəlaɪ.ən/ DAN-də-ly-ən; from French dent-de-lion 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus.
Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance, along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators.[7] Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[8]
In general, the leaves are 50–250 mm (2–10 in) long or longer, simple, lobed-to-pinnatisect, and form a basal rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange coloured, and are open in the daytime, but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that is usually leafless and rises 10–100 mm (3⁄8–3+7⁄8 in) or more[5] above the leaves. Stems and leaves exude a white, milky latex when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 20–50 mm (3⁄4–2 in) in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into spherical seed heads sometimes called blowballs[9] or clocks (in both British and American English)[10][11][12][13] containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hair-like material which enables wind-aided dispersal over long distances.[citation needed]
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse. The outer bracts are often reflexed downward, but remain appressed in plants of the sections Palustria and Spectabilia. Between the pappus and the achene is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute.[citation needed]
Description
These are individual pollen grains of the dandelion - Taraxacum officinale.
Segment of pappus fiber showing barbs
The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted, perennial, herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. The genus contains many species, which usually (or in the case of triploids, obligately) reproduce by apomixis, resulting in many local populations and endemism. In the British Isles alone, 234 microspecies (i.e. morphologically distinct clonal populations) are recognised in nine loosely defined sections, of which 40 are "probably endemic".[14] A number of species of Taraxacum are seed-dispersed ruderals that rapidly colonize disturbed soil, especially the common dandelion (T. officinale), which has been introduced over much of the temperate world. After flowering is finished, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two. The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ball opens into a full sphere. When development is complete, the mature seeds are attached to white, fluffy "parachutes" which easily detach from the seedhead and glide by wind, dispersing.
The seeds are able to cover large distances when dispersed due to the unique morphology of the pappus which works to create a unique type of vortex ring[15][16] that stays attached to the seed rather than being sent downstream. In addition to the creation of this vortex ring, the pappus can adjust its morphology depending on the moisture in the air. This allows the plume of seeds to close up and reduce the chance to separate from the stem, waiting for optimal conditions that will maximize dispersal and germination.[17][18] Wikipedia

The Wildrose Charcoal Kilns were completed in 1877 by the Modock Consolidated Mining Company, above Death Valley in the Panamint Range, and were used to reduce Pinyon and Juniper tree wood to charcoal in a process of slow burning in low oxygen. This fuel was then transported to mines in The Argus Range, 25 miles to the west, to feed smelting and ore extraction operations.
Although the mines themselves were worked intermittently until about 1900, there is no clear evidence that the charcoal kilns were operational after 1879. They were restored by Navajo Indian stonemasons from Arizona in 1971.
The kilns were located here as the trees Single-leaf Pinyon Pine (Pinus monophylla) and Utah juniper ( Juniperus osteosperma) dominate the landscape in the upper Panamint Mountains. Shrubs of Mormon Tea (Ephedra sp.), such as Death Valley ephedra (Ephedra funerea), are spaced between them, with other xeric sub-shrubs and native bunchgrasses.
Other historic charcoal kilns in the United States include the Cottonwood Charcoal Kilns at Owens Lake, the Piedmont Charcoal Kilns in Wyoming, and the Walker Charcoal Kiln in Arizona.
Wildrose Canyon has 2 campgrounds above the kilns, Thorndyke at 7,490 feet and Mahogany Flat at 7923 feet. The latter is the trail head for the hiking trail to Telescope Peak and has a spectacular view to the east down to Badwater.

Site on main road purchased 1901, foundation stone 19 Jan 1907 by Jonah Hobbs, opened 25 May 1907 as Methodist. New hall foundation stone 20 Apr 1912 by Samuel Pitt & David Ridley, opened 29 Sep 1912, additions to hall 1960. Church porch added 1977 to reduce noise from traffic. First chapel opened 11 Apr 1858 as Wesleyan in Chapel St, used as Sunday School when new church built, sold 1912, became paint shop, later demolished.
“Methodists have been working for several years to raise funds for a new church. Chiefly owing to the kindness of Mr. J. Hobbs, who has donated £20 for every £80 otherwise raised, the money in hand now amounts to £600.” [Advertiser 23 Jan 1907]
“A beautiful chapel has been recently erected by the Wesleyan body at Campbelltown, the site having been generously presented by Mr Crowle. A few weeks since a public meeting was held, at which the contributions were so liberal that sufficient funds were raised to complete the sacred edifice.” [Adelaide Times 21 Apr 1858]
“The foundation stone was the gift of Mr. J. Tillet, sen.” [Evening Journal 22 Jan 1907]
“The- rural suburb of Campbelltown has been en fete owing to dual festivities in connection with the Methodist Church. The completion of the new building is effected at about the usual time for holding the anniversary services. It was therefore decided to combine these with the dedicatory and opening services. . . record attendances prevailed throughout all the meetings. . . The pews provided in the church about 350, but to accommodate all that were present the old church forms had to be called into requisition.” [Evening Journal 28 May 1907]
“Methodism at Campbelltown. ‘The Old Chapel’ by Rev W A Langsford. It belonged to the olden time. They were called chapels in the days of our fathers. It was while this State (or colony as it was then called) was young. Everything was in the beginning. Places of worship were being erected in the city and the suburbs, and villages as far distant as Campbelltown demanded similar opportunities and privileges. The first building was very small, but it served its purpose, and when after a few years its size was doubled it was no doubt regarded with pride. This could never be on account of its architecture. No other chapel similar in construction have I ever seen, and when over forty years ago I went there to conduct a service I found the
preacher's pulpit in a corner . . .
the flight of time, even in the short history of South Australia, has witnessed many changes. Still ‘the old order changeth, yielding place to new’. For example, some of us remember the days, or rather the nights, when about the only earthly illumination the preacher had was what was known as the tallow candle, and when either the chapel-keeper or his deputy had to use the snuffers during the progress of the service. The sperm candle was a decided improvement. Then the days of paraffin or kerosene lamps came, and there were times when the little sanctuary became filled with the odour which proceeded therefrom. But in that old chapel some of the foremost ministers and local preachers of early Methodism have officiated. . .
How the times have changed. At that time there were no trams. Horse trams even had not appeared, and electric trams and motor cars and the marvellous methods of locomotion of our day were not even dreamed of. Most of the preachers journeyed on foot to their appointments, and many of them rejoiced that they were counted worthy to undertake this service for the Master. It is now Tuesday, September 24, and. we have met in the old chapel for the last time. It will be with feelings of reluctance that we shall leave it. . .
a more modern and ornate structure became necessary. It stands at .a respectful distance on a site ‘beautiful
for situation’, and can be seen for miles around. The old church modestly stood in a back road; the new church occupies a bold and assertive position in the main thoroughfare. The electric cars pass it regularly, and almost continuous in the traffic past its door. May the glory of this latter house be even greater than that of the former. And by its side there is now upreared a costly hall, which will be especially used for Sunday-school purposes. . .
With the consent of the Conference the structure has been sold. No longer will it be our church or schoolroom. It will probably be altered in appearance, and, as in the coming days we go by, we shall give a passing glance at the old property and say to the younger generation, ‘The first Methodist Chapel in Campbelltown was built on this site’. So, farewell old chapel!” [Australian Christian Commonwealth 11 Oct 1912]

Yesterday was the most beautiful day here in Ohio. It was sunny and warm (well 40 degrees which is warm this time of year). The morning was frosty, with temps down in the teens. All the sap that was flowing the day before had stopped and was frozen in the spiles. It didn’t take long for them to thaw out with the sun and warmth and start flowing again. These are prime sugaring temps; you want it to be above freezing during the day and below freezing at night. The rest of this week and next week look like it’s going to be beautiful, especially for sugaring.
