Kīlaueaby Resident Mario: A shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi. Located along the southern shore of the island, the volcano, at 300,000 to 600,000 years old, is the second youngest product of the Hawaiian hotspot and the current eruptive center of the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain. Because it lacks topographic prominence and its activities historically coincided with those of Mauna Loa, Kīlauea was once thought to be a satellite of its much larger neighbor. Structurally, Kīlauea has a large, fairly recently formed caldera at its summit and two active rift zones, one extending 125 km (78 mi) east and the other 35 km (22 mi) west, as an active fault line of unknown depth moving vertically an average of 2 to 20 mm (0 to 1 in) per year.
Operation Rösselsprung (1944)by Peacemaker67: A combined airborne and ground assault by the GermanXV Mountain Corps and their allies on the Supreme Headquarters of the Yugoslav Partisans located at the west Bosnian town of Drvar during World War II. The operation was launched on 25 May 1944, and was aimed at capturing or killing Marshal Josip Broz Tito and destroying the headquarters, support facilities and co-located Allied military missions. It is associated with the Seventh Enemy Offensive (Serbo-Croatian Latin: Sedma neprijateljska ofenziva) in Yugoslav historiography. The airborne assault itself is also known as the Raid on Drvar (Desant na Drvar).
Vervet monkeyby Zhangt2413 and TKYung: An Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. There are five distinct subspecies that can be found mostly throughout South Africa as well as some of the eastern countries. Vervets were transported to the islands of Barbados, Saint Kitts, and Nevis in conjunction with the African slave trade. These mostly vegetarian monkeys have a black face and grey body hair color, ranging in length from about 19 inches for males to about 16 inches for females.
Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worldsby JimmyBlackwing: A 1993 first-personrole-playing video game developed by Looking Glass Technologies and published by Origin Systems. As the sequel to Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, the game is set in the Ultima fantasy universe. Players assume the role of the Avatar—the protagonist of the Ultima series—and adventure through multiple dimensions while seeking to prevent the evil Guardian from achieving world domination. Progression is largely nonlinear and the game allows for emergent gameplay. Ultima Underworld II began production in April 1992, shortly after the completion of Ultima Underworld; and it was developed in nine months. The team's goal was to improve upon the foundation laid by the game's predecessor, particularly by increasing the size of the world and the number of real-time, interactive elements.
1812 Louisiana hurricaneby Hurricanehink: A major hurricane that struck New Orleans, Louisiana during the War of 1812. It was the worst storm of the early history of New Orleans and is very likely the closest landfalling hurricane known to have an impact on the city. It was first observed in the eastern Caribbean Sea on August 12 as a tropical disturbance, which later affected Jamaica as a tropical storm. After entering the Gulf of Mexico, it intensified into a hurricane, with winds estimated at over 115 mph (185 km/h). The circulation affected areas from the Florida Panhandle to Natchez, Mississippi, but the worst effects were in the New Orleans area. There were around 100 deaths, many of them due to drowning.
