This Let’s Save Our Planet article written 19 years ago, “When Trees Fall to Ground,” is about the environmental horror that is logging.

“Let the fields and everything in it rejoice. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, because He is coming. He is coming to judge the world; He will judge the world with fairness and the people with truth.” – Psalms 96:12-13, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.

Picture Trivia 

Rumanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci
on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, both August 2, 1976 issues.

          Rumanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci was the first to be awarded a “perfect 10” in Olympic gymnastics. She garnered it first in the uneven bars event (team competition) in the Montreal Olympics on July 18, 1976. She was 14 years old.
          Do you know that the Montreal Olympics gymnastic scoreboard does not have the facility to register four numbers – 10.00. This is because, even at the start, the Olympic organizers said it is “impossible” to have a perfect 10 score. In the competition, the score that registered for Comaneci was 1.00, which initially confused the audience. But when it was made known that Comaneci garnered a perfect 10, thunderous applause followed. Comaneci garnered six more perfect score in the succeeding events.

          Comaneci is also the youngest Olympic gymnast all-around champion. This record will remained forever on the books, because in the current Olympic gymnastic regulation, participants should be at least 16-year-old before they are allowed to compete.

Picture Trivia

The TV series Games of Thrones, created by David Benioff and Daniel Brett Weiss, and first aired on American television on April 17, 2011. It is an adaptation of George Raymond Richard Martin’s fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, which in turn got its inspiration from the English “Wars of the Roses” (1455-1485) between the houses of Lancaster and York, reflected in the novel’s houses of Lannister and Stark.
