International Toast
RC in Nepal
Just over two weeks after thousands died in a mammoth earthquake, Nepal got hit hard again Tuesday by another powerful tremor that has left dozens more dead, more than 1,000 injured. Tuesday's disaster piled fresh horror on Nepalis still picking up the pieces from last month's quake and its legion of aftershocks. More buildings collapsed, more landslides rumbled and people once again scrambled for their lives.

Management is critical
Biodiversity

Changes to Moreton Bay corals after 7500 & 50-200 years
1974 flood wiped out much coral, but some came back

Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented.
It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'.. ...
And thus, the word GOLF entered into the English language.
