...Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980 caused 1.1 billion in damage. Spirit Lake was by Mount St. Helens when it erupted and it was covered in ash. Volcanoes were named after the roman god of fire, Vulcan. Mount St. Helen included many common details to volcanoes and caused damage and destruction to property and lives that affected the region, but the area has recovered in its aftermath. There are 4 kinds of volcanoes. Lava Dome Volcanoes are unique in that the magma never actually flows out. Shield Volcanoes never build the mountain structure, but poor lava out over a large flat area. Stratovolcanoes or composite is created from years and years of eruptions and cooling which can add layers to form the conic shape. Cinder volcanoes is the result...

...May 18th, 1980, was when it happened. Trees were thrust to the ground. Thousands of animals were killed. Lakes ceased to be lakes. Fifty seven people died. Ash rained all over Washington. A cloud of ash screamed at 300 miles per hour and was 700 degrees Fahrenheit. As told by my grandparents, Perry and Kathy Smith, this is an account of the Mount Saint Helens (Mt. St. Helens) eruption. It all started at my grandparents’ house: “In the morning,” Kathy explains, “we were getting ready for church when suddenly heard a huge double boom. We didn’t know what it was, so we just got ready and went to church anyway.” Perry says, “The double boom was first, the explosion of the volcano, and second, the magma hitting the oxygen in the air. We were meeting...

...MT ST Helens Rough draft What is Mt St. Helens, what happened there? The eruption of Mt St. Helens is a disastrous and catastrophic event that shook the Earth everywhere. “The 1980 Mt Saint. Helens eruption will go down infamously as one of the Nation’s worst natural disasters to ever occur. ”This volcano killed 57 people in its 1980 eruption. The volcano is a stratovolcano, what is plate tectonics, how was it formed and relation with plate tectonics, finally it’s eruption in the 1980s. Also, how to prepare and be safe of a volcanic eruption. Mt St. Helens is a stratovolcano also known as a composite cone. A stratovolcano is the deadliest of all other volcanoes and has a layered or stratified appearance. Additionally, stratovolcanoes are steep piles of ash, lava, and domes that are often rained heavily on, shaken by earthquakes, or over steepened by intruding blobs of...

...Some hazards of an eruption of Mount Saint Helens are a pyroclastic flow which is a hazardness fast-moving current of hot gas and rock (collectively known as tephra). It can reach speeds moving away from a volcano of up to 450 mph and reach temperatures of about 1,830 °F. Volcanic ash is another hazard and is up made of tiny fragments of jagged rock, minerals, and volcanic glass. Volcanic ash is hard, abrasive, and does not dissolve in water. Generally, particles of volcanic ash are 2 millimeter across or smaller. If ingested can result in death. Volcanic Gasses can cause danger to people, animals, agriculture, and property. Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen fluoride are the most dangerous. Sulfur dioxide gas can lead to acid rain...

...crust. The opening through which the lava and tephra are emitted is called the volcanic vent. Lava is magma that reaches the Earth’s surface. Magma is melted rock at high pressure and temperature. Magma rises because it is initially less dense than the rock surrounding rock. It eventually equals the density of the surrounding rock and becomes a magma chamber. Tephra is pumice or ash that is blown into the air during eruptions. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates converge and diverge; but are usually not created where tectonic plates slide past one another. As a result volcanoes can be found in all sorts of climate locations. There are four primary types of volcanoes which all have varying effects on the environment. This paper will explore these various types of volcanoes and show how they differ, as well as giving examples of eruptions for each of the types discussed. Principle Types of Volcanoes Cinder cones: Cinder cones are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent; they are the simplest forms of volcanoes. Gas charged lava is violently blown into the air and breaks up into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most of these types of volcanoes have a bowl shaped crater at the summit and rarely rise more than a thousand feet or so above their surroundings. Lava flow can flow from a breach on the side of the crater or a vent from an outside flank. Lava...

...Helen Keller's Family Helen Adams Keller was born a healthy child in Tuscumbia, Alabama, on June 27, 1880. On her father's side she was descended from Colonel Alexander Spottswood, a colonial governor of Virginia, and on her mother's side, she was related to a number of prominent New England families. Helen's father, Arthur Keller, was a captain in the Confederate army. The family lost most of its wealth during the Civil War and lived modestly. After the war, Captain Keller edited a local newspaper, the North Alabamian, and in 1885, under the Cleveland administration, he was appointed Marshal of North Alabama. When Helen Keller Met Anne Sullivan At the age of 19 months, Helen became deaf and blind as a result of an unknown illness, perhaps rubella or scarlet fever. As Helen grew from infancy into childhood, she became wild and unruly. As she so often remarked as an adult, her life changed on March 3, 1887. On that day, Anne Mansfield Sullivan came to Tuscumbia to be her teacher. Anne was a 20-year-old graduate of the Perkins School for the Blind. Compared with Helen, Anne couldn't have had a more different childhood and upbringing. The daughter of poor Irish immigrants, she entered Perkins at 14 years of age after four horrific years as a ward of the state at the Tewksbury Almshouse in Massachusetts. She was just 14 years older than her pupil Helen, and she too suffered from serious vision problems. Anne underwent many botched operations at a young age before...

...the World in Seventy-Two Days. I will now look at each of these people in more detail starting with Chuck Close by writing a bit about his contemporaries. All of the contemporaries of Chuck Close in this research paper are part of the Photorealism Movement. The first contemporary is Ralph Goings who was born in 1928 and his work focused on painting buildings and cars. The next contemporary is Malcolm Morley who was born in 1931 and he would take photographs from places such as magazines and would repaint them. The final contemporary I will be writing about is Robert Bechtle who was born in 1932 and he would paint images from where he lived and the people around him. The next thing I will be looking at is what makes Chuck Close’s style unique and why he is considered to be important. One of the things that makes Close’s style unique is that he very rarely paints a subject’s body and focuses on their face instead. Another thing that makes Close’s style unique is that he has used multiple types of media throughout his career, such as photography and painting. Close also was paralyzed later in his life and now paints using his mouth. Chuck Close is considered to be important because he brought back the art of painting portraits in the 1960’s to now. The next thing this research covers is the people that influenced his work. One person that Chuck Close influenced is Jackson Pollock who was and abstract artist who was born in 1912 and died in 1956. Another person that influenced him...

...Paper Title: Trading favors within Chinese groups Discussant: Federica Capriglione Abstract Pyramidal structures is a dominant aspect of ownership in the developing world, which allow shareholders to control corporations with relatively low investments. On the one hand, the mismatch of cash flow and control rights leads to a range of agency problems and resultant resource misallocations, potentially impacting the macro economy. On the other, pyramids are one important mechanism that enables the formation of diversified business groups that are a dominant feature of business organization in much of the world. The paper aims to give an illustration of this within-firm trade-off of costs and benefits in the context of publicly traded firms in China. Moreover, capital investment and firm performance are investigated from the perspective of pyramidal ownership structure. In the last part of paper it is examined why when a listed firm gets into financial trouble and is designated as special treatment (ST) firm by the regulatory authorities, could have generated overwhelmingly favorable market reactions. That will be considered from the perspective of “tunnelling” and “propping up” practice within Chinese listed firms. 1. Introduction A dominant aspect of ownership in the developing world is pyramidal structures, which allow shareholders to control corporations with relatively low investments. The uneasy relationship between these controlling investors and minority shareholders, and...

...Development Indicators Database. When data belongs to the WHO database (http://www.who.int/whosis/database/core/core_select.cfm), the sentence indicates this but a footnote is not added to save space. Not all the data used for analysis is included in the tables on the first page of this paper. ✓ If you would like to request a Data CD which includes all the data tables used please e-mail: mervy19@gmail.com ✓ Bold phrases show the application of theory from the textbook (Todaro). ✓ Regression analysis can be done to predict which one of the variables is better in predicting child health. However few data recordings for many indicators do not allow such analysis for Child Health in Zambia. This paper will analyze the trends in Child Health in Zambia observed in the past 25 years as well as recommending ways to achieve sound policy-making. Given the scarcity of data and the lack of a holistic measure for child health due to high multicollinearity between variables, there are limitations in assessing the changes. Although there are many indicators of child health presented in the World Health Organization (WHO) database (i.e. diseases), the scope of this paper will focus on infant mortality rate, life expectancy and malnutrition (stunting and wasting) in explaining child health. Infant mortality rate in the past 10 years has been constant at 102 per 1000 live births compared to the increasing trend in the previous decade (1980; 90). Life...

...Virginia Watkin Professor Dave Graham Music 118 November 26, 2013 Rock and Roll has Lost the Ability to Effect Meaningful Societal Change Music has often been said to be the universal language. Rock musicians especially learned to use the power of rock music and lyrics to effect powerful changes in society, most particularly in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The early age of Rock and Roll was an exciting time for the musicians, lyricists and the mass of young people who listened to them. While it may be that rock music in all of its genres of today can still prod listeners to champion for social change, the rock music market has fragmented so dramatically that rock and roll has lost the ability to impact mass sections of the population and has therefore, lost its unique voice and ability to effect real social change in US society. The turbulence of the 1960’s, due to the escalation of the conflict in Vietnam to a full out war, the assassination of both President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. and the push for civil rights for all people made for fertile ground for songwriters to encourage change for the better through their music. (Hibbard and Kaleialoha, p 122) Lyricists and composers worked in tandem to write songs to both inform the public and, in some cases, incite the public to take action against what was happening in, around and to the world. Songs such as “Blowin in the Wind, written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and “Ball of Confusion (that’s what the world...
