O God, please help all families care for our natural environment.
That to protect Mother Nature is the most important of all.
That God’s Justice may fall upon those who destroy Nature.
That Humanity be firm in not using things that destroy the natural resources of Earth.
That the natural resources on Earth may continue to exist for the survival of Humanity –
For a countless future generations to born.
These are our ways to show our gratefulness to You O God Our Creator.
For all the plants and the trees give us fresh air and food to eat,
That the air may be pure to breathe,
That the waters may be filled with life,
That the earth be fertile for cultivation,
That Earth be made Holy by striving to protect creations that depend on it,
That even mere animals such as birds, animals and other creations be protected.
For Nature is a paradise created by God for us humans and other creations –
That we may inhabit the Earth with responsibility as guardians of the least of creations.
These are our ways of truly appreciating You O God as our Creator.
Then Paradise is found in our Unity in appreciating and protecting nature on Earth.
And Paradise is found in our Love for each other as a family of Humanity.
That all families in Humanity may unite to be the guardian of planet Earth –
As a new Heavenly Home filled with Care and Compassion for Nature.
For this Wisdom is how we truly show that our Heart is pure and clean.
Amen.

"The human nervous system evolved in an environment where seeing change -- the slightest difference in the surrounding environment -- could mean the difference between life and death. So it is not surprising that our most developed cultural forms are practices of the visual. But we didn't stop there. So much of life occurs outside the range of visible light. Through scientific tools and methods we have reached far beyond this narrow slice of the electromagnetic spectrum to colonize its full range, from radio waves and infrared to x-rays, gamma radiation and cosmic rays. Now existence in all its glorious complexity, from the dynamic division of living cells to the vastness and vibrancy of the entire universe, has been rendered accessible to our visual capacity. Meanwhile, the democratization of the means for making and sharing images in the cultural realm continues to explode exponentially. As cost approaches zero and access to image production and dissemination becomes universal, new possibilities begin to emerge. Our insatiable embrace of the image knows no bounds."
This bit of rock is the only other place in the universe that Man has managed to set foot. How far can we go?
Ephedra - Mormon tea in Colorado, USA.
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Ephedra is one of a few plants that defies traditional plant classification. Botanists generally consider it to be an odd gymnosperm or “transitional” between gymnosperms and angiosperms. The high-level taxon “Chlamydospermae” has been established for this and a few other forms. Ephedra is a medium-sized shrub having many stiff, upright to semi-upright, essentially bare branches with regularly spaced nodes. Tiny and scale-like leaves occur at the nodes along the branches. There are between 30 and 40 living species of Ephedra. Species identification generally requires very close examination. It prefers pebbly or sandy soil in cool desert settings. Ephedra is known from many desert environments in the New Wold and much of the Old World.
Classification: Plantae, Chlamydospermae, Gnetales, Ephedrales, Ephedraceae
Locality: No Thoroughfare Canyon, Colorado National Monument, Colorado, USA

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

2 June 2013. Abu Shouk: Technician Ibrahim Youssif Adam, staff member of the Groundwater and Wadis Directorate in the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and working for the Integrate Water Resources Management, monitors the level of water in a water pump in Abu Shouk camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), North Darfur.
Abu Shouk is one of the main priorities in North Darfur to implement projects on water due to the difficult terrain to find and keep the water and due to the big number of IDPs (more than 50,000) who use the water for domestic purposes and economical activities (like bricks fabrication).
The average of water consumption in the IDP camps in North Darfur is around ten liters per person a day.
Disputes over scarce water resources have been cited regularly as one of the root causes of the conflict in Darfur.
5 May is the World Environment Day.

New York, NY, 8 September 2010 – On October 10, 2010, people across the world participating in the "One Day on Earth" project will capture an unprecedented global video snapshot of a single 24-hour period. Participants, ranging from teenagers with cell phones to Academy-Award nominated documentarians using the latest HD cameras, will film the world from their own perspective. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has partnered with "One Day on Earth" to help the project reach participants in 100 countries with low bandwidth, making it a truly global initiative.
"One Day on Earth" currently has a growing number of thousands of filmmakers and inspired citizens representing over 190 countries.
The results of this unique collage documenting the countless stories of triumph, tragedy, hope and fear that take place each and every day, will be made into a feature-length documentary to be released next year. In addition, all the footage shot as part of the project will be publicly available via an innovative online searchable archive. The scope and range of this material will provide an invaluable resource: a database of films that deal with some of the most important issues facing our global community.
UNDP Field Offices will provide logistical support at local and regional levels, including the collecting of video data in areas of low bandwidth. With the distribution of 120 HD cameras provided by "One Day on Earth", UNDP fieldworkers in many different countries, including Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Rwanda, Sudan and Uruguay, will have the opportunity to participate directly in the project. UNDP staff participants will film their work, their colleagues and their communities, providing a vibrant and immediate glimpse into the organization's vital development work and its impact on people's lives. As the countdown to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 continues, their contribution through "One Day on Earth" will highlight the challenges and obstacles they face in working to achieve the Goals.
"The MDGs are not just aspirational goals. They are about improving people's lives by reducing poverty and hunger; empowering women; increasing access to the essential services of education, healthcare, clean water and sanitation," said Stéphane Dujarric, Director of Communications at UNDP. "The One Day on Earth project offers a key opportunity to personify these issues to the international community, as well as spark a dialogue to create a greater global consciousness."
"One Day On Earth" will also reach over 450,000 students in 64 countries through the distribution of free digital educational toolkits on media literacy. The United Nations Fund for Children (UNICEF), the UN Department for Public Information and the UN Academic Impact programme —which links over 320 universities in 70 countries— will contribute as well. Vimeo, a video sharing site that provides a platform for people to host and share their videos in high quality, is providing the necessary bandwidth to host the "One Day on Earth" archive, as well as promoting the project to its online community of over four million registered users.
