<p></p>
<p>Excerpt from above (by: Dr Robert Sellers):</p>
<p>It was my privilege, on behalf of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, to attend the January 25-27 Marrakech Conference on the Rights of Religious Minorities in Predominantly Muslim Lands, conducted under the high patronage of His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, of Morocco. Three prominent leaders had worked on this initiative since 2012—Shiekh Abdallah Bin Bayyah of Abu Dhabi, President for the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies; Dr. Ahmed Toufiq of Rabat, Minister of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs for the Kingdom of Morocco; and Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi of Washington, D.C., Director for The Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers. Through the planning of these visionaries, more than 300 cabinet ministers, imams, scholars and intellectuals, peace activists, and interfaith leaders from 120 Muslim territories were brought together to reaffirm the principles of the 1400-year old Charter of Medina and to discuss its implications for our contemporary world. Joining them were approximately 50 non-Muslim leaders who served as observer-participants in the conference.</p>

Captain Anand had very advanced tuberculosis, his daughter found my mail whilst going through his email and wrote to me. Poor kids (there are two of them Girls) probably being looked after by their relatives, not sure (Captains wife passed away some years back and he had gone into a tremendous depression - Theosophy got him out of that -[ as best we know ]"</p>

<p>from Physics Today (Summary):<br/><br/>In March the monthly global average concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide surpassed 400 parts per million, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That is a “significant milestone,” says Pieter Tans of NOAA. Although 400 ppm was reported in the Arctic in 2012 and in Hawaii in 2013, this is the first time since NOAA began its tracking that the mean global level has been as high. Worldwide, CO2 concentrations have risen more than 120 ppm since the Industrial Revolution, according to Tans. And half of that rise has occurred since 1980. NOAA bases its estimates on air samples taken from 40 sites around the world. <br/><br/>-------------<br/><br/></p>
