We can manage our time but we aren’t in control of time. Regardless of whether we create a time table to help manage our time lapses occurs. Those lapses can be in the form of betrayal, sickness, loss or death. Our time like the river, ocean or sea, ebbs and flows. Time isn’t about joy rides, it’s about gifting our light to the world. Time can never be replenished, we have got to use it before we lose it.

Did You Know #65: How Much Of The Amazon Rainforest Has Been Destroyed? — DiosRaw

Scientists fear the Amazon Rainforest is closer to a tipping point where it will enter an irreversible cycle of collapse known as a dieback. Between 15 and 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest has been lost, and if the amount of cleared forest land reaches 25 percent, there won’t be enough trees cycling moisture through […]

Škocjanske jame, Slovenija – Škocjan Caves, Slovenia — Myrela

Geolozi su početkom 1900. godine dobili potvrdu za ono što su “rašljari za podzemne vode” oduvijek pretpostavljali: tajanstvena ponornica Reka koja je tekla pod zemljom u škocjanskoj oblasti, ista je ona rijeka koja je poslije podzemnog toga od četrdesetak kilometara ponovo izvirala u San Đovaniju di Duinu, u blizini Montefalkonea u Italiji – pod novim […]

Škocjanske jame, Slovenija – Škocjan Caves, Slovenia — Myrela

The morphological characteristics of the caves have supported the development of special climatic conditions that enable, in the pits and entrances to the caves, a very unusual coexistence of plant species that belong to both Alpine and Mediterranean climates. Likewise, living creatures have adapted to the strange karst habitat. This unusual ecology makes Škocjan Caves a unique laboratory of biodiversity and is the reason for the special attention paid to this area from the point of view of protection. With the help of the local population, the management of the Škocjan Regional Park (which covers over five square kilometers around the caves) is making a significant effort to protect these sensitive ecosystems, whose survival requires careful and appropriate development of the environment.

Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Emirati state-owned Mubadala Investment Company PJSCagreed to start this new joint venture for the construction of third of its kind passenger aircraft.

Safety and high costs forced Soviet Union to retire the plane after just 102 flights. France and UK’s joint development of concorde made its first flight in 1976, a supersonic passenger aircraft. Unfortunately, in 2003 it was retired due to low passenger numbers, rising maintenance costs and a number of serious accidents.
