World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago. (See Researcher's Note: Heights of Buildings.) Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center).

Prior to 2001 the complex had sustained a major terrorist attack. On February 26, 1993, a large bomb planted by terrorists exploded in the underground garage of Two World Trade Center, damaging the base of the building (subsequently repaired), killing 6 people, and injuring some 1,000. The attack that occurred on September 11, 2001, was much more destructive. Hijackers deliberately flew two commercial airliners into the towers, the first striking the north tower at 8:46 AM (local time) and the second hitting the south tower at 9:03. Badly damaged and engulfed in flames, the weakened south tower collapsed at 9:59; the north tower fell about a half hour later. Debris from the towers also destroyed or damaged other buildings in and around the complex. Some 2,800 people were killed.

ARCHITECTURE - Proportion Order Space - [ POS ]

There must be PROPORTION in any building design, a balance. Always be aware that the structure must fit, in every sense, into the space around it.

There must be an ORDER in architecture, where every part is in its right place. An internal engineering and aesthetic logic, that every design must have.

There must be SPACE in any design, the space is where our point of view is. Space is the true work of any plan, the structure simply exists to shape and reveal the space.

In Memory of the 9-11 Atrocity

WORLD TRADE CENTER - September 11th

It has now been some time since the 9-11 tragedy. These pages were built just after September 11th 2001, and whilst we have strived to keep them up to date they may reflect small mistakes. We are sorry if this offends anyone and we hope that this site is read within the spirit that it was written.

World Trade Center - WTC Facts

The Great America Twins, could stand as one of the greatest achievements created by humankind; being on its opening day the tallest structures on the planet. This monument to what we could accomplish could be seen from almost every street in the surrounding districts. The twins could be seen from over 20 miles away. Not only was it the World Center for commerce it was also one of the biggest tourist attractions of the Free World; all tourist books, New York websites strongly recommend that whatever you do, you must visit this great landmark. Only three flights from the top, the observation deck was positioned on the 107th floor of both towers. And weather permitting you could also climb to the top of the world, and visit the open air rooftop promenade that was even higher than the 110th floor. It was indeed the highest vantage platform known to anyone, our greatest achievement in getting ever nearer to the stars.

World Trade Center Facts

Constructed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the early 1970s, the World Trade Center Towers were two of the best known examples of Tube Buildings. A Tube Building is strengthened by closely spaced columns and beams in the outer walls. The closely spaced columns and beams in each tower formed a steel tube that, together with an internal core, withstood the tremendous pressure from winds that affect buildings of this height. Each tower moved over three feet off true center during some gusts; swaying a movement of six feet or 185 cms.
Apart from withstanding great pressure from the wind, the World Trade Center Towers were also constructed to bear up against the expected settlement of the six acres of unstable landfill, that they were built on. To achieve this piles were driven down between 70 to 100 feet below ground level, so that the buildings in point of fact rested not on ground zero, but actually on the solid bedrock beneath Manhattan.

11th September 2001

The two towers were designed to survive the effects of a direct hit by a commercial airliner but only one presumed lost in fog and without radar, travelling at around 230 mph or 355 kph - NOT one travelling at 450 mph or 724 kph.

ALSO, there was some presumption that any 'lost' aircraft would be light on fuel otherwise it would have simply moved to a more suitable landing area. The resultant momentum caused far more damage than had been envisaged and the large mass of jet fuel promoted a much higher temperature than expected, over a longer period. The resultant heat greatly weakened the infrastructure of the building, fanned by the winds from outside, and as any Blacksmith or metal worker will know, from the chimney effect inside, the flames would be ten times hotter than normal. When hotter enough metal turns to liquid. Once the weight of the building above the strike area started to move downward, only the hand of God could have stopped the collapsing upper floors from crushing everything in their path.

World Trade Center - WTC Facts

At around 08.46 AM on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA, on September 11th 2001, America was attacked and this great achievement was shamefully and with cowardice, destroyed. But this brutal atrocity was not just against the Capitalist Free World but against innocent civilians. Hard working Americans and other nationals, who were hard at work at 08.30 AM, as they were on any work day. If this was only against what the USA was supposed to stand for, this attack would have taken place at 08.30 PM, at a time when for the greater part only bricks and mortar would have been destroyed; only an Icon would have been brought down. But no! Such is the hatred inside these murderers that is against what the USA is supposed to represent, a time was picked that would take the most lives, and innocent lives at that. But what does the USA represent; it represents a reasonable people who just want to work hard; who just want to play hard and just want to be in the bosom of their families and live their lives with no interference to or from anyone else. They like most people, want the 'American Dream'.

WORLD TRADE CENTER - September 11th

The Pentagon

And it is the 'American Dream' that people like Osama Bin Laden are scared of, jealous of. The evil of this world are frightened that such an ideal can create so much wealth, pleasure and love. So Bin Laden was not content to just destroy the World Trade Center, he had to make sure he slaughtered part of the American people. Do these 9/11 murderers not know that these ordinary people were God-fearing; God-loving members of this planet and that they just wanted to live their lives. Being an American, is just like being any other Nationality; you are what you are and who can change that?

World Trade Center Facts

More than 50,000 people worked in the Twin Towers every day.

The complex had up to 150,000 visits from tourists each day.

The WTC had its own ZIP codes - 10047 and 10048

The property had over 400 tenants. On September 11th 2001, the building was 95 percent full.

New York Port Authority.

You will have seen in the news that the New York Port Authority has thrown all that it has into the finding of loved ones within the rubble. But it was the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that was responsible for building this Center, being inaugurated in 1970.

World Trade Center Facts

The surrounding area around the Twins included 325,000 square feet of restaurants and shops.

In addition to the towers, five other office buildings made up the complex

The buildings were opened in 1970 after an eight year development programme.

Other than the two towers, included within the complex were other buildings as equally impressive constructions albeit with lesser number of floors. One was a 22 story hotel and not least a gigantic bronze fountain globe, that was in the center of the 16 acre grounds, that stood 25 feet high.

World Trade Center Facts

Because no expense was left wanting, there were NO light switches. All lights were on 24/7/52. These were later added to save money and the Environment.

$3,000,000 was spent every day on electricity. More than a small city.

So impressive was this address many big organizations had their Head offices within the complex.

Ingeniously, thirty million cubic feet of earth was excavated from the original site and dumped into the Hudson River to form a great esplanade where another office complex and site for luxury apartments was built.

World Trade Center Facts

There were nearly 50,00 tons of air-conditioning equipment alone.

Many old buildings and plots of land were cleared, covering 16 blocks, to house the World Trade Center.

Its foundations were laid at 60 feet below ground level

Combined the weight of the towers was more than 1.5 million tons

When they fell, they hit the ground at 120 mph.

New York.

New York has an intriguing history that would impress any student of the New World. On April 17th 1524, only 32 years after Columbus first set foot on the New Americas. Giovanni da Verrazzano landed on what is now Staten Island, (Richmond). To remember this great day a bridge has been name after Giovanni and it stretches across New York Bay.

He was the Jean-Luc Picard of his day

Picture of Giovanni da Verrazzano

Picture of Giovanni da Verrazzano

Era il 17 Aprile 1524, e il Navigatore era entrato nella Baia di New York. Verrazzano era penetrato per il braccio chiamato oggi "The Narrow" nella baia superiore che egli battezzò Santa Margherita, dal nome della sorella di Francesco I°. Approdò alla punta di Manhattan, e forse all'estrema costa di Long Island. La sosta di Giovanni nel magnifico specchio d'acqua fu interrotta da una tempesta che lo spinse a nord fino a Martha's Vineyard e a trovare rifugio nell'odierna Newport. Qui la spedizione prese riposo per due settimane, dal 24 Aprile al 6 Maggio, entrando in contatto e fraternizzando con le popolazioni indigene. La grande impresa era compiuta, tutta quanta la distesa di terra che si allunga dalla Florida all'Isola di Capo Bretone, la terra cui il navigatore aveva posto il nome di Francesca, era stata scoperta. Nei primissimi giorni del luglio del 1524 la spedizione fece ritorno a Dieppe. La notorietà e il prestigio in campo scientifico e politico raggiunti dal Verrazzano dopo questa impresa, indusse vari e vani tentativi da parte di governi nemici alla Francia per assicurarsi la collaborazione di questo personaggio, che invece continuò a fregiare il suo stemma con il giglio di Francia. Tra il Maggio 1526 ed il Settembre 1527 Verrazzano guidò una spedizione che portò, attraverso il Capo di Buona Speranza, la prima nave francese nell'Oceano Indiano, e che toccò sulla via del ritorno le coste del Brasile, riportando in patria cospicui tesori. Sulla scia di questo ennesimo successo fu organizzata una nuova spedizione alla quale partecipò anche il fratello Girolamo, ormai cartografo affermato. La spedizione raggiunse la Florida e due isole vicine : Cabaco e Babama (le odierne Abaco e Gran Bahama). Dirigendosi poi verso la costa del Darien, attraverso il Mare Caraibico, Giovanni avvistò un'isola coperta di rigogliosa vegetazione ed apparentemente deserta, egli vi sbarcò con sei uomini ; all'improvviso però dalla folta boscaglia un gruppo di indigeni li assalì con inaudita ferocia, li sopraffece e, spogliati e uccisi li gettò a pezzi sui carboni ardenti, divorandoli poi tra un baccano bestiale e urla indiavolate, mentre il fratello Girolamo inorridito ma impotente, assistette da bordo a tale massacro.

Era l'anno 1528.

World Trade Center Facts

The excavation created so much displaced soil that it was also used to build Liberty Park.

On any working day, at 9 AM, it could be presumed that up to 35,000 people were at their desks working within the attacked complex.

Giovanni da Verrazzano

On Manhattan, Giovanni was well received by a small tribe of native Americans who assisted him by guiding his ship to a safe location. Giovanni fell in love with this area and wrote back to France informing his King what a great land this was, particularly the New York area, to develop it for France and Europe. Giovanni could see the great potential that lay here but it was over one hundred years later before any settlers came to live on this great estuary. In Giovanni's time, he was the Jean-Luc Picard of his day, and his country was more interested in exploration and staking claims, not building great cities.

World Trade Center Facts

The buildings had over 12 million square feet of work space.

Each floor was 50,000 square feet.

The Towers were 100 feet higher than the most famous tall building ever built, The Empire State Building.

In 1609, the East India Company of Holland, ironically sent an Englishman, Henry Hudson, to look for a better East to West route to the Indies. Like most looking for this pathway, he obviously found that the Americas were in the way of a direct sailing route. As he sailed up the broad Hudson river, that was later named after him, what thoughts were going through his mind, we can only imagine. Could he though, have ever imagined what developments were to be founded in the next 400 years.

World Trade Center Facts

The World Trade Center was originally conceived by two brothers, David and Nelson Rockefeller.

The two originally wanted each tower to be named after each brother, but this was not allowed.

Henry Hudson's reports and the great bounty he took back to Holland aroused the minds of the old Europeans and plans were made to take this area for the Dutch. In 1621, the Dutch West India Company was granted a charter to trade and colonize the North Americas.

World Trade Center Facts

New York was originally going to construct a new tunnel and a new bridge but decided to spend the money on the more impressive WTC.

Minoura Yamasaki was picked to be the architect.

He designed the towers to look like a futuristic sculpture, some said the buildings looked "boring."

In 1624, a French Group arrived to claim the New York area and the Hudson Valley, strangely only a few hours later the Dutch arrived and waving the Charter that they had been given and exerting the power that they thought this gave them, they ousted the French and claimed this new land for Holland. Shortly after, they built a new town at the South end of Manhattan Island and called it New Amsterdam. Ironically, on the site that housed the World Trade Center.

World Trade Center Facts

Around 12,000 miles of electric cable wound its way throughout the two towers.

There were over 75,000 telephones that were linked with nearly 20,000 miles of wiring.

It is now a legend that perhaps, Manhattan Island the most expensive piece of real estate in the USA, was bought from the Native Americans for a consideration worth $24. What that would this be in Real Terms, is anyone's guess. If anyone knows; please let us know.

World Trade Center Facts

The two restaurants that were the windows on the world held over 100 weddings each year.

The South Tower's observation deck had a cafe and gift shop that opened up at 9.00 AM every day.

New Amsterdam thrived for 40 years under the leadership of the Peters: Stuyvesant and Minuit, and the town obviously took on a look of the old Holland. However, just like today it was perhaps the most cosmopolitan center on Earth. The first people to settle in this new city were from every corner of the Globe and a Catholic Priest recorded that he counted nearly 20 languages being spoken on the streets. Encouraged by the success of the people of Southern Manhattan, other areas of what is now New York, were settled by a myriad of people and cultures.

World Trade Center Facts

More postcards are sent around the globe showing the World Trade Center than any other scene.

The entrances to each Tower had 16 reception points and 12 X-ray machines.

There were 800 emergency exits.

By the mid 1660's the British were perhaps the Super Power of the day, and were slowly claiming more of the North Americas for the English Crown. Rightly or wrongly, on the 8th September 1664 the people of New Amsterdam surrendered to the Duke of York and his '10,000 men'. The new town was quickly renamed New York and all surrounding areas came under the protection of the British. It only took a few years for districts to be renamed and the whole area to follow the new regime that has made its stamp on this area, and much of the Eastern side of the United States, and it still remains today. It need not be said that in 1776, this great country became even greater, by taking control of its own autonomy to become a New Republic.

World Trade Center Facts

Ironically, on average each visitor to the WTC spent around five minutes going through security checks.

The WTC employed 300 Security Officers.

The Towers had their own Police Stations and command centers were spread all over the buildings.

Around the 1770's the population of New York was about 25,000 citizens and it thrived. The city grew and grew. By the 1800's the population was 250,00 and between 1840 and 1860 the population rose from 300,000 to over 800,000. New York has continued to grow to what it is today.

New York, and the USA has historically opened its arms to the whole Globe, taking in other Nationals from all around the world, not caring what religion, creed or color they were. The USA has clearly shown that it has never judged anybody by what faith they may wish to follow. There are not many other Nations who can say the same, and moreover have made it a crime to follow doctrine that their government do not believe in. The USA and all past governments have never tried to proselytize its new citizens to be anything but what they wanted themselves.

World Trade Center Facts

Even though there were 8 miles of staircases in each tower it is thought that it would have still taken up to 90-100 minutes to evacuate the whole building.

The WTC had 239 banks of elevators, some the fastest in the whole country.

The World Trade Center.

What has happened cannot really be described in mere words, you have to see the face of the teller to really understand what a tragedy for the USA, and the Free World, this has been. Apart from Pearl Harbor this is the first time there has been a significant attack on the USA in recent times. It is the first time such a severe attack has taken place on the main land.

World Trade Center Facts

The main elevators traveled at 27 feet per second and could reach the top in under 5 minutes.

The express elevators to the observation decks could hold 55 people.

It is well known that it was the attack on Pearl Harbor that spurred on the American people to join Britain, in what became the Second World War. Whilst It must not be forgotten what a disaster both events were, we must remember that Great Britain suffered such attacks every night of every week, during the first few years of World War II. A thousand nights of bombing, where whole city centers were flattened, but the British did not surrender. Such a resolve must be shown now, throughout the Globe, in bringing the evil perpetrators of this act to pay for what they have done. One by one they will be tracked down and brought to task.

Every citizen of the World must learn to be nothing but non-judgmental; totally objective in its way of thought. Then maybe we can, in this New Millennium, all live in peace and talk about our differences and agree that there are differences, and that it is everyone's right to be different.

World Trade Center Facts

Prior to the 11th of September 2001, 19 people have been murdered within the complex.

More than 10,000 construction workers were involved in its building. More than 60 died during this time.

Since its opening 17 babies have been delivered inside the World Trade Center.

This site: http://www.thesahara.net is about taking a large piece of Africa and turning it into a new Rainforest and a new Ocean of fresh water. It is about a new investment for the future of Humankind. But it must be asked whether we are good enough to be saved. It is a clear fact that as Human animals, we have possibly less that 100 years left to live on the planet Earth. It is said that with Global Warming; rising sea-levels; Blade-Runner type smog, that will poison all oxygen breathing creatures, we are living on borrowed time.

Such a catastrophic event as the destruction of the World Trade Center has clearly rallied the world's right thinking citizens to act, to stop such a thing ever happening again. We must ask ourselves to consider that on Monday 10th September 2001, in most minds there was a far greater chance for the Extinction Level Events, mentioned above, to happen than what we saw the next day.

In fact at the top of the two Towers it was proclaimed that the Twins were built so well, that they were designed to withstand a commercial airplane crashing into them.

World Trade Center Facts

The steel that now lies in a twisted tangle could have built THREE Brooklyn Bridges.

500,000 tons of steel was in each tower.

The speed it hit the ground was 120 mph.

Each floor had over 50,000 square feet.

There were over 43,000 windows.

Each Floor was an acre in size.

In the Concourse below there were over 75 shops.

One WTC Tower include Windows on the World, an elegant restaurant with a magnificent panoramic view of New York City.

The view extended for over 45 miles from the top of the towers.

What will it take before the whole people of the world join together to combat a much greater malevolence that faces us all. The WTC is the first major Global construction to be destroyed by Terrorism. We can rebuild, we can renew, we have other places to go whilst the new construction is under way. But can we rebuild the Planet Earth? Can we renew the destroyed Environment? And where can we go while the Earth is no longer fit enough to sustain animal life.

World Trade Center Facts

There were 9 chapels inside covering six different faiths.

Twenty nine different countries had trade mission offices inside.

We predict that the reconstruction of the New World Trade Center will take ten years. In fact it will be officially opened on September 11th 2011. Moreover, in some defiance, there will be THREE mighty towers there, each bigger and stronger and more fitting for the new 21st Century. On its walls there will be a monument for all the people that died because of this day, but whilst it will be a symbol of pain that has been suffered, it will also be an Icon for a Country and a Free World that will never be defeated.

World Trade Center Facts

Health Insurance giant, Blue Cross / Blue Shield moved there with their 880 employees 3 years ago.

Ownership of the WTC recently changed hands for $3.2 Billion, to Silverstein Properties, a prominent Jewish company.

We sincerely hope that as many people are saved as is humanly possible. We can only send our dearest condolences to those in the USA and the rest of the world who have lost beloved ones. And we know that really there is nothing that anyone can really say, that will take away the pain that the death of a true love, a parent or a child can bring.

As one who has lost the dearest of lives; as one whose whole life and character was changed forever because of a great loss, I can only say that in some bizarre way, in some thankful way, it does get better given time.

But remember time will never heal the wound of this tragedy, but time will stop the bleeding.

In some conclusion, if there is ever to be a conclusion; what do the murderers want? What do they want the USA to be, do they want the USA to change. Do they want the USA to be like them, living in a Third World State, with children running the streets in bare feet and being educated to kill. Indoctrinated to believe that all Free Americans are actually murderers, in order to make themselves look better in the eyes of babies. In a months time; in a years time and even in a decades time, we will all realize that the Free World can never really win against these cowards, unless something big is done. They will hide behind their religion and be protected by State Leaders, who will defend this crime in the name of some forgiving higher being. Terrorists will even be protected by the freedom allowed within the USA & the UK, as they roam amongst our citizens plotting the next tragedy, sponsored by government handouts.

New York at Night

WORLD TRADE CENTER - September 11th

World Trade Center Facts

On Friday, February 26, 1993, at 12:18 p.m., a bomb exploded in the underground garage of One World Trade Center, creating a 22-foot-wide, five-story-deep crater. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. The towers were cleaned, repaired, and reopened in less than one month.

Nearly 40 Movies have been made at the World Trade Center. Real Life was played out every day.

All that can be said is, that this is not some great movie, this is real life and this action taken in the name of religion, will have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of decent citizens for all time. We cannot switch the pain off; we can never walk out of some venue to end it; it will be there forever.

We have many pages that try to give and portray information as reasonably and as honestly as possible. However, we receive around 150 viruses each day via EMAIL, mostly from the USA and the Middle East. Obviously from those who do not quite agree with us. This is good as it confirms that people of all opinions are reading TheSahara.Net pages.

At some expense our virus patterns are updated on a daily basis and we also have Firewall Protection. We are sorry that there are some who do not concur with our views but we would prefer to be attacked by email extolling some point of view, whatever it is, but without virus attachments. Those who send us emails do so because they have no argument.

Furthermore, we have been told that, though we do not believe it, we are monitored by USA & UK government bodies. Our own software informs us that one UK government ISP stayed on our site for 95 minutes. One US government ISP for 125 minutes.

How True is This ?

SEPTEMBER 11TH 1987!

There is an old video, allegedly, of Lt. Col. Oliver North, testifying on 9/11/87, at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan administration. There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree. But what he said was stunning!!

He was being drilled by some senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"

Ollie replied, "Yes I did sir."

The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience," Isn't this just a little excessive?"

"No sir," continued Ollie.

"No? And why not?" the senator asked.

"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened sir."

"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.

"'By a terrorist, sir." Ollie answered.

"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"

"His name is Osama Bin Laden sir." Ollie replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, a couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued.

"Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.

"Because sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of," Ollie answered.

"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.

"Well sir, if it were up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."

The senator disagreed with this approach and that was all that was shown of the clip. If anyone is interested, the Senator turned out to be none other than Al Gore.

How True is This ?
The Movie Hannibal was released early 2001 in the film it portrays the notion that Hannibal Lecter is being added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. NO. 2 on that list was Osama Bin Laden.

America planned to attack the Taliban BEFORE the WTC/Pentagon atrocity. A former Pakistani diplomat has told the BBC that the U.S. was planning military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban even before 9/11. Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.

ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoid, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is because of their small size and large numbers relative to the nine major planets that asteroids are also called minor planets. The two designations are frequently used interchangeably, though dynamicists, astronomers who study individual objects with dynamically interesting orbits or groups of objects with similar orbital characteristics, generally use the term minor planet, whereas those who study the physical properties of such objects usually refer to them as asteroids.

Lucifer - In Christian tradition, the leader of the angels expelled from heaven for rebelling against God. Known thereafter as Satan (Hebrew: adversary) or the Devil, he presides over the souls condemned to torment in Hell. He is identified with the serpent that tempted Eve (Genesis 3.1–6) and the great red dragon cast out of heaven by Michael (Revelation 12.3–9). The exact nature of Lucifer’s sin was much debated; the commonest view is that his sin was pride.

John Winston Lennon, an icon of idealism, creativity and hope, was born on October 9, 1940 to a dysfunctional, working-class Liverpool family. He was born during an air raid from the German Air Force, in WWII. So pleased that he and his mother had survived, they chose his second name as Winston, after the great war-leader Churchill.

Athlete's Foot is a skin condition caused by a fungus, that typically occurs between the toes. This picture is the classic condition, and very common. It is also at a stage where it is being restrained, not cured, only by being kept reasonably clean. WE HAVE A CURE.

Sahara desert Facts - The Sahara Desert is a great desert area, North Africa, the West portion of the broad belt of parched land that extends from the Atlantic Ocean eastward past the Red Sea to Iraq. The entire desert, the largest in the world, is about 1600 km wide and about 5000 km long from East to West.

Three thousand acres of life-giving plants are still eaten away by some circumstance every hour of every day. That is FIVE ACRES at every sweep of this clock. - CAN YOU HELP? Greenhouse Effect - An effect occurring in the atmosphere because of the presence of certain gases - Greenhouse Gases - water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide, that absorb infrared radiation. Short-Wave Light and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are able to penetrate the atmosphere and warm the earth’s surface. This energy is re-radiated as infrared radiation, which, because of its longer wavelength, is absorbed by such substances as carbon dioxide, instead of passing through. The overall effect is that the average temperature of the earth and its atmosphere is increasing - the so-called Global Warming or ultimately the Global Ending Syndrome.

Forest Land - Forest covered with trees and undergrowth. Over 20% of the Earth's land-surface is forest, providing valuable oxygen, timber, and habitats for wildlife. Northern coniferous forests consist largely of pine, spruce, and firs.

Anthrax is principally a disease of domesticated and wild mammals, particularly herbivorous animals, such as cattle, sheep, horses, mules, and goats. Humans become infected almost incidentally when brought into contact with diseased animals, which can include their flesh, bones, hides, hair and excrement, or anywhere the germ may be lurking.

The Taliban - Persian Tālebān - Students. Also spelled Taleban. An ultra conservative political and religious faction that emerged in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s following the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the collapse of Afghanistan's communist regime, and the subsequent breakdown in civil order. The faction took its name from its membership, which consisted largely of students trained in Madrasah's Islamic religious schools, that were established for Afghan refugees in the1980s in northern Pakistan

World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago. (See Researcher's Note: Heights of Buildings.) Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center).

THE TAKERS TEST - Every minute of every day millions of people make a hot drink for themselves. Whether it is Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate, invariably the process needs WATER and some ENERGY source. Put up your hand, if you did not know this, and also that the planet's WATER and ENERGY sources are dwindling

TERMITES - any of the cellulose-eating social insects that constitute the order Isoptera. Cellulose in this case refers to wood. Termites have for millions of years been eating the majority of fallen trees, dead trees and rotting trees, from all around the world. It is said that the world would be totally covered in a ten meter pile of rotting timber, if it was not for the Termite.

BEDBUG - Any member of the approximately 75 species of nocturnal insects of the family Cimicidae - order Heteroptera, that feed by sucking the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. The reddish brown, or mahogany adult is broad and flat. It is only 4 to 5 mm, less than 0.2 inch long. The greatly withered, scaly vestigial wings are inconspicuous and non-functioning. You know they are about, when you see you have mysterious bite marks - small red dots. You can also see small telltale black marks, on sheets and mattresses. Bedbugs also have a distinctive oily odor, that results from a secretion of scent from their stink glands.

MITES - Any of about 20,000 species of tiny arthropod invertebrates belonging to the subclass Acari - sometimes Acarina, or Acarida, of the class Arachnida. Mites live in varied habitats: in brackish water, in fresh water, in hot springs, in soil, on plants, and as parasites on and in animals. Parasitic forms may live in the nasal passages, lungs, stomach, or deeper body tissues of animals. Some mites are carriers of human and animal diseases. Plant-feeding mites cause damage by feeding on leaf tissues or by transmitting viral diseases. Mites are small, often microscopic in size—the smallest being about 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in length and the largest being about 6 mm (0.25 inch)—and they usually have four pairs of legs. In general, they breathe by means of tracheae, or air tubes; in many species, however, respiration takes place through the skin

Mosquito - A small flying biting insect that could be described as a type of Fly. It lives worldwide, especially in the tropics. It has long legs and a slender abdomen, Culex Forma. In most species the males feed on plant juices or nectar. The females puncture the skin with a long proboscis, to suck the blood of mammals, quite often transmitting serious diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Encephalitis and Yellow Fever. The mosquito is not strictly a parasite.

THE LOUSE - also called the Body Louse -Pediculus Humanus, one of the most common sucking lice, found wherever human beings live. There are two sub-species of the common human louse: Pediculus Humanus Capitis, the Head Louse, and P. Humanus Humanus, the body louse, or cootie. The body louse is an important carrier of epidemic typhus; other louse-borne human diseases are trench fever and relapsing fever

Fleas have been around for millions of years - a fossilized flea found in Australia is said to be 200 million years old. It does not differ significantly from today's fleas. Different species can be found from the Arctic Circle to the Arabian deserts - even penguins have fleas which counteract the cold by ensuring that their growth into adulthood coincides with the time when penguins are sitting firmly on their eggs, thereby keeping both fleas and their young in a warm environment!

The June Bug - Cotinus Nitida - Linnaeus - Really a Flying Beetle - " I'm coming to get you!! " - Cotinus Nitida - The June Bug, also called May Beetle, or July Bug - Any insect of the genus Phyllophaga, belonging to the widely distributed, plant-feeding subfamily Melolonthinae - family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera. These red-brown / green or even orange beetles commonly appear in the Northern Hemisphere during warm spring evenings and are attracted to lights. The heavy-bodied June beetles vary from 12 to 25 mm - 0.5 to 1 inch, and have shiny wing covers (elytra). They feed on foliage and flowers at night, sometimes causing considerable damage. June beetle larvae, called white grubs, are about 25 mm long and live in the soil. They can destroy crops, like, corn [maize], small grains, potatoes, strawberries, and they can kill lawns and pastures by severing the grasses from the roots.

TICK - A widely distributed parasitic arachnid - related to Spiders and Scorpions, that sucks the blood of mammals, reptiles and birds, and may transmit such diseases as Typhus, Lymes Disease and Relapsing Fever. Its round body can be as small as a millimeter, or up to 30 mm long, with eight bristly legs. After feeding, the adults drop off the host and lay eggs on the ground. The larvae attach themselves to a suitable victim, feed, then drop off and molt into nymphs, which repeat the procedure. They have been compared to being similar to the Mite. An insect is a six legged creature, but all of this sized organisms once came from the same ancestor.

Meningitis is an infection of the clear plasma-like fluid of a person's spinal cord and the same fluid that surrounds the brain. Meningitis is sometimes referred to as Spinal Meningitis. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection; itis mean inflammation, so the infection causes an inflammation of these areas.

MRSA - PLEASE NOTE THAT MRSA IS NOT A DISEASE. IT IS THE NAME OF A BACTERIA THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE AN ANTIBODY THAT CAN KILL IT. IF ALLOWED INTO THE BODY OF A MAMMAL, IT CAN BRING ON MANY PROBLEMS AND CONDITIONS. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE ALTERNATE NAMES AND SOMETIMES MRSA IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED. PREVIOUS TO THE MRSA STRAIN THESE CONDITIONS WERE CLEARED UP QUITE EASILY WITH PENICILLIN ETC. BUT NOT ANYMORE. READ ON!

Asthma is not a new phenomenon, as its recent insurgence would suggest. - Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded around 3500 years ago in an Egyptian manuscript called the Ebers Papyrus. And a word with similar roots as Asthma was also seen in Homer's Iliad. The word comes from the Greek and means Labored Breathing. The word Asthma was first used to describe an illness 500 years later by the famous Greek physician, and father of Medicine, Hippocrates. The Romans also recorded this condition and used various remedies to try and cure it.

SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits.

Allergy - An abnormal reaction by the body to certain substances, including pollen, dust, certain foods and drugs, fur, moulds, etc. Normally all foreign substances (antigens) entering the body are destroyed by antibodies. Allergic people, however, become hypersensitive to certain antigens (called allergens), so that whenever they are encountered in future they stimulate not only the normal antibody reaction but also the abnormal symptoms of the allergy, such as sneezing and skin rashes. Allergic conditions include hay fever, some forms of asthma and dermatitis, and urticaria. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids and desensitization.

CLONE - also spelled clon population of genetically identical cells or organisms that are derived originally from a single original cell or organism by asexual methods. Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.

STD's - These bacterial and viral infections are related to sex, but of course have historically been associated with oral-sex and the vagina. In most all cases though they can cause some form of bodily infection and are transmitted through some form of sex. HIV/ AIDS is also listed below. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) can often be transmitted even though both partners firmly believe they are infection free. The incubation period of a disease, is the period of time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. So during the incubation period, partners can transfer a virus or bacteria without even knowing.

Hay fever An allergy to pollen, which leads to sneezing, a streaming nose, and inflamed eyes. Treatment involves taking antihistamines or, in severe cases, steroids. - ALLERGIES - hypersensitive reaction by the body to foreign substances - antigens, that in similar amounts and circumstances are harmless within the bodies of other people.

Worms, some say, have been around in one form or shape for about 600 million years. We actually share some DNA with all worms. There are perhaps up to 35,000 different types of these legless invertebrates, that we call worms. Some scurry about on the surface of the land, some live just beneath, whilst others bury themselves deep into the Earth's surface. Many live in the sea, and some have been found deep down on the bottom. Some are so small you cannot see them with the naked-eye, others are so big, they could be snakes. An Earthworm can live for ten years, living and eating in our gardens. They have no eyes, or ears and never sleep. Pound for pound, as they are made of mostly muscle they can be 1,000 times stronger than the strongest man, so next time you call a person a worm, think.

Clostridium Difficile, is now recognized as the chief cause of HAI - Diarrhea in the US and Europe, and not only in hospitals but also in nursing homes and other facilities for long term care. Initial recognition of this disease began in the 1970s, with reports of a serious, sometimes lethal colitis, characterized by the formation of pseudo-membranous plaques. The cause was identified as Clostridium Difficile in 1978.

STARVING WORLD OF FAMINE - But something can be done; something that would not only help millions of Africa's starving impoverished citizens; not only help facilitate a world financial resurgence but also create a new global environment that might save humanity. It would cost nothing.

The human papilloma virus - HPV, causes several different types of warts, which are the most common type of skin infection. In some cases, the HPV virus dies within 1 or 2 years, and warts simply disappear. Verrucas, also called Warts, well-defined small growth of varying shape on the skin surface, caused by a virus. The wart is composed of an abnormal proliferation of cells of the epidermis; the overproduction of these cells is caused by the viral infection. The most common type of wart is a round, raised lesion having a dry and rough surface; flat or threadlike lesions are also seen. Warts are usually painless, except for those in pressure areas, such as the plantar warts, or Verrucas, that occur on the sole of the foot. They may occur as isolated lesions or grow profusely, especially in moist regions of the body surface.

Huntington's Disease is due to a dominant and faulty genetic disorder on chromosome 4. The consequence of the fault with this gene starts around or just before middle age, and leads to a gradual physical, mental and emotional change in its victim. Huntington's Disease was named after the American, Dr. George Huntington, as in 1872 he was the first person to document an accurate description of the symptoms and the route of the disease. - The loss of these cells causes intense symptoms and eventually death. As the condition advances, it becomes more difficult for the patient to walk and speak. Memory and intellectual functions continue to decline, until the end. By far of the majority of patients are placed in hospices for special care.

Acne can affect people from ages 9 through to middle-age. Acne can show up as any of the following; congested pores, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, pustules, or cysts - deep pimples, spots. These blemishes occur wherever there are many oil or sebaceous glands, mainly on the face, chest, and back. Acne is commonly referred to in slang as zits.

PILES - Hemroids and their symptoms are one of the most common afflictions in the Western world. In fact, hemroids can occur at any age and can affect both women and men. Because the presence of hemorrhoidal tissue is normal - it acts as a compressible lining which allows the anus to close completely. Unfortunately, hemroids tend to get worse over time, and disease should be treated as soon as it occurs.

ANTS - any member of the approximately 8,000 species of the insect family Formicidae - order Hymenoptera. Ants occur worldwide but are especially common in hot climates. All ants are social in habit; i.e., they live together in organized colonies, and they range in size from 2 to about 25 millimeters, about 0.08 to 1 inch. Their color is usually yellow, brown, red, or black. A few genera, e.g., Pheidole of North America, have a metallic luster.

SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits.

Rabies A virus infection of the brain that can affect all warm-blooded animals and may be transmitted to man through the bite of an infected animal (usually a dog). Symptoms, which appear after a period of from ten days to two years, include painful spasms of the throat. Later, the sight of water can induce convulsions (hence the alternative name—hydrophobia, “fear of water”) and the patient eventually dies. Antirabies vaccine and antiserum given immediately after being bitten may prevent the infection from developing. The UK has strict quarantine regulations for imported domestic animals to prevent the disease from reaching Britain.

COCKROACHES - Dictyoptera - An order of insects comprising the cockroaches - suborder Blattaria) and the mantids - suborder Mantodea, occurring mainly in tropical regions. Cockroaches are oval and flattened in shape; some have a single well-developed pair of wings, folded back over the abdomen at rest, while in others the wings may be reduced or absent. They are usually found in forest litter, feeding on dead organic matter, but some species, e.g. the American cockroach - Periplaneta Americana, are major household pests, scavenging on starchy foods, fruits, etc. In most species the females produce capsules - the (oothecae containing 16 - 40 eggs. These are either deposited or carried by the female during incubation.

Elvis was born Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss., U.S. He died Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis, Tenn. His name in full was Elvis Aaron Presley or more correctly, Elvis Aron Presley, the popular singer widely known as the King of Rock and Roll. He was one of rock music's most dominant performers from the mid-1950s until the present day and forever.
