  • A major threat to the rainforest is the logging companies that come in and clear land to harvest big trees. There are only about two upper canopy trees (higher trees) per acre, and cutting down these trees almost destroys the upper canopy which is home to most of the birds in the rainforest. Another threat is farming and cattle ranching. People chop down the trees to clear areas, but the soil is not good, so soon they have to move to another area. Sometimes the forest grows back, but it takes many years. A third reason the forests are destroyed is for gold and silver mining.

  • Scientists and development experts across the globe are racing to increase food production by 50 percent over the next two decades to feed the world’s growing population, yet many doubt their chances despite a broad consensus that enough land, water and expertise exist.
  • The number of hungry people in the world rose to 1.02 billion this year, or nearly one in seven people, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, despite a 12-year concentrated effort to cut the number.
  • Agronomists and development experts who gathered in Rome last week generally agreed that the resources and technical knowledge were available to increase food production by 50 percent in 2030 and by 70 percent in 2050 — the amounts needed to feed a population expected to grow to 9.1 billion in 40 years.

  • As a prelude to the postponed cross-channel attack, the British and Americans decided at Casablanca to open a strategic air (bombing) offensive against Germany. In this instance they agreed on timing but not on method. The British, as a result of discouraging experience with daylight bombing early in the war, had built their heavy bombers, the Lancasters and Halifaxes, for night bombing, which meant area bombing.

  • Google Earth is a powerful software tool that enables you to look at the world top-down, using satellite images. Though not "in real time", it’s a great tool for anyone interested in Archeology/ Ancient History.  Especially for those interested in Ancient Egyptian History. Since the ancient Egyptians built in stone, a lot of their monuments are still visible, still stand. (As compared to for example ancient Sumerian, Mesopotamian architecture that has often disappeared, since the ancient Sumerian didn’t use stone)
