One of the most famous blind people in history was named Helen Keller. Not only was she blind, but she was also deaf and mute¢wshe could neither hear nor speak. When she was born in 1880, she was perfectly normal. But just prior to her second birthday, she fell extremely ill. The doctors were convinced that she would pass away, but she endured! However, as she recovered, it became increasingly obvious that something was dreadfully wrong. Helen no longer responded to loud noises or things happening in front of her. Her family was desperate for help. Finally, they learned of a school that had helped another blind and deaf girl learn sign language¢wa way to communicate using your hands. Eventually, Helen also learned sign language, and proceeded to become a celebrated writer and "speaker", even though someone else did the speaking for her. Before Helen died at the age of 88, she wrote 11 books, traveled to 39 different countries and inspired two award-winning movies.

We all like to read fairy tales, right? They're the cute, cheerful stories like Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. Surprisingly, when these stories were first written nearly two hundred years ago, they were neither cute nor funny, and nobody lived happily ever after. A large portion of our modern fairy tales were originally written by the Grimm Brothers in the early 1800s. This German pair set out to assemble a written record of the stories that they had heard in their youth. Previously, these traditional stories were passed orally from generation to generation. The tales were told to children, not to entertain them, but to demonstrate very important lessons about surviving in the dangerous world they lived in. Since you are no longer afraid of the dark and don't believe there are monsters hiding under your bed, you might consider reading a selection of the original stories as reported by the Brothers Grimm. You might find that the traditional stories they recorded many years ago are just as meaningful today.

The highest tsunami in recorded history soared an unbelievable 516 meters above the water¢whigher than Taipei 101 is tall. It occurred in a small, narrow bay in Alaska in 1958, caused by a massive landslide, which in turn was triggered by a magnitude 8.0 earthquake. A large chunk of a cliff broke off during the earthquake and fell into the bay. The result of this was comparable to an elephant leaping into a swimming pool. As part of the mountain fell into the bay, the water on the other side splashed up towards the sky. It hit the mountains opposite the landslide and washed the trees and wildlife right off the hill, leaving only bare rock where there had been a forest only moments before. Unfortunately, two fishermen were in the bay fishing at the time. Sadly, they were killed. Luckily, no one lived in this area of Alaska; otherwise many more people could have lost their lives. The narrow entrance to the bay also protected the outside ocean from the effects of the tsunami, virtually stopping it in its path. If geography had not been working in our favor, this could have resulted in a much larger tragedy.
