Nathan Cox HIS 122 Paul Tibbets Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr. was born on Febuary 23, 1915, in Quincy, IL. His father was a salesman in a family grocery business. His mother, the former Enola Gay Haggard, grew up on an Iowa farm and was named for a character in a novel her father was reading shortly before she was born. The family moved to Miami, and at age 12 Tibbets took a ride with a barnstorming pilot who dropped Baby Ruth candy bars on the Hialeah race track in a promotional stunt for the Curtiss Candy Company. He was thrilled by the flight, and though his father wanted him to become a doctor, his mother encouraged him to pursue that dream.
By mid afternoon Huggy Face and his sailors figured out that the calmness of the beaches, sun kissed sand, and blissful wind compound was perfect for fishing, swimming and surfing. In order to know for sure that it was what he was looking for Captain Huggy Face decided to stay around and explore the outskirts of the island. Two days passed and they discovered that the island had a gold treasure! Now with this finding he came back every day to see if it’d be replenished again and so one day it was filled up again. After several weeks Huggy Face saw the adversity of creatures that lived there, which was a total bonus on his behalf; he knew it’d become more than a want but a wish to be there for every traveler in the world.

Demetrius Cameron Gordwin 07/25/2008 Rogue Waves Since the first ship set sail on the deep blue sea there has been many stories and myths. Stories of pirates and their treasures and monsters that live in the deepest parts of the ocean. There were even tales of waves that were so high that they could swallow a ship and destroy it in a matter of minutes. They called them freak waves or massive waves. But like all old stories and myths, for centuries the idea of such a thing was only a folklore.
Are We Doing Enough to Prevent Oil Spills in Newfoundland? Every year in Newfoundland, thousands of marine birds flock to the nutrient rich waters on the continental shelf just about 250 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland. Currently, there are 3 oil rigs approximately 50 kilometres away from this feeding ground for thousands of birds and fish. This area is a key feeding ground for wildlife that come from both poles. This area is one of the densest concentrations of sea birds anywhere in the whole world.
I was always under the impression that the entire park was built inside the city, not the other way around. During our trip, we had a chance to look at different types of bedrocks during our trip to Central Park: Manhattan schist and Hartland schist (both are metamorphosed sedimentary rocks) Manhattan schist and Hartland schist were shaped in the Iapetus Ocean during the Paleozoic era, which was about 450 million years ago. This area marked the date of the formation of the supercontinent, which is now known as Pangaea. We had a chance to look at the Fordham gneiss, which is comprised of metamorphosed igneous rocks and was formed a billion years ago, during what is known as the Grenville orogeny. We also saw an Inwood marble (metamorphosed limestone) which overlaps the gneiss and the others.

Cash came from North Carolina to see the revival for himself. It was here that he encountered God like never before. He took this fire with him back home, where in January 1907, a revival occurred that became the “Azusa of the South.” Through the ministry of Azusa Street, several existing holiness bodies became Pentecostal, including the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church and the Pentecostal Free-Will Baptist Church.
The U.S.S. Yorktown has much significance because it was found some 10 years ago after laying at rest on the ocean floor for 56 years.
