The late William T. Pecora, a former Director of the USGS, was quoted in a May 10, 1968, newspaper article in the Christian Science Monitor as being "especially worried about snow-covered Mt. St. Helens." On the basis of its youth and its high frequency of eruptions over the past 4,000 years, Crandell, Mullineaux, and their colleague Meyer Rubin published in February 1975 that Mount St. Helens was the one volcano in the conterminous United States most likely to reawaken and to erupt "perhaps before the end of this century." This prophetic
Alexander Valdiviezo Prof. John Esche HUM 102-001 9/16/2013 “What Galileo Saw” The article “What Galileo Saw” by Michael Benson published in September 8, 2003 by “The New York Times”, describes the obstacles and accomplishments done by the “Galileo” spacecraft. In the past eight years, the spacecraft called “Galileo” was known as the Orbiter who explored the four largest moons of Jupiter. During the time in space, it made detailed scientific observations which took thousands of high resolution photographs. Galileo took the closest photograph, half a billion miles away, of one of Jupiter’s moon. But Galileo’s extensive tour of the satellites of Jupiter ended on September 21 because it was programed to speed directly towards the gaseous atmosphere of Jupiter enabling the spacecraft to turn into ashes.
There are only 2 seasons: summer from May to October and winter from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85 degree F and the average daytime winter temperature is 78 degree F. Temperatures at night are around 10 degree F. lower. According to Wilson's hotspot theory, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian chain should get slowly older and become tougher the farther they travel outside the hotspot. The oldest volcanic rocks on Kauai, the northwestern most inhabited Hawaiian island, are about 5.5 million years old and are deeply tough. By contrast, on the "Big Island" of Hawaii -- southeastern most in the chain and probably still located over the hotspot -- the oldest bare rocks are less than 0.7 million years
“I’m every human being who ever lived?” “Or who will ever live, yes.” “I’m Abraham Lincoln?” “And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added. “I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled. “And you’re the millions he killed.” …You fell silent.” God explains that the reason for this is so that the man can grow and mature so he can be like God, because in reality he is Gods son. He accepts this truth and can then move on to his next life. In “Bored World” there is a third person narrator who the reader does not meet through the story.

Kennedy’s famous “Ich bin ein Berliner”-Speech. At 09:16 the Germans start introducing new measurements to the workers at the plant.

Percy has ten days before the summer solstice to find the symbol of power of the king of gods, and he is given magic shoes as a "gift" from Luke before leaving.

Chiron hands over a pen to Percy, informing him that it is a gift from his father.
