[the old man reveals writing on the back of the medallion, which states that part of the staff must be removed]

Indiana: Balloq's medallion only had writing on one side? You sure about that?

Sallah: Positive!

Indiana: Balloq's staff is too long.

Indiana, Sallah: They're digging in the wrong place!

:42:49
Look at this.

:42:51
It's worthless.

:42:52
Ten dollars from a vendor in the street.

:42:55
But I take it, I burry it in the sand
for a thousand years it becomes priceless.

:43:00
Like the Ark.

:43:01
Men will kill for it, men like you and me.

:43:06
What about your boss? Der Führer?

:43:09
I thought he was waiting to take possession.

:43:12
All in good time. When I am finished with it.

:43:17
Jones, do you realize what the Ark is?

:43:21
It's a transmitter. It's a radio for speaking to God.

:43:25
And it's within my reach.

:43:29
You want to talk to God?

:43:32
Let's go see him together.
I've got nothing better to do!

[Belloq and the Nazis are walking and talking some more]

Belloq: Who knows. Perhaps the Ark is still waiting in some antechamber for us to discover. Perhaps there's some vital bit of evidence which eludes us. Perhaps...

Gobler: [interrupting him] Perhaps the girl can help us.

Dietrich: My feeling exactly. She was in possession of the original piece for years. She may know much if... properly motivated.

Belloq: I tell you the girl knows nothing.

Dietrich: I am surprised to find you squeamish. That is not your reputation. Anyway, it needn't concern you. I have the perfect man for this kind of work.

[Toht approaches]

Toht: Heil Hitler.

Baby Girl Born To Gates, Wife -- She's Jennifer Katherine

AP

BELLEVUE - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has a new title: father.

His wife, Melinda French Gates, gave birth Friday night to an 8-pound, 6-ounce girl at Overlake Hospital Medical Center. Mother and infant were reported doing well.

They named the baby Jennifer Katharine.

It's the first child for the Gateses, who were married in a private ceremony New Year's Day, 1994, on the Hawaiian island of Lanai.

Indiana: Lightning. Fire. The power of God or something.

Major Eaton: I'm beginning to understand Hitler's interest in this.

Fukushima's reactor cores still too hot to open

Six months after the disaster that caused three meltdowns, efforts to stabilize the Japanese nuclear power plant continue.

Geoff Brumfiel

On 11 March, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Sendai in Japan, knocking out power at the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. In the hours and days that followed, three of the plant's six reactors melted down, triggering a series of explosions and fires at the site. Six months later, what progress has been made to stabilize the plant, and what is yet to be done?

What is happening at the site right now?

On any given day, 2,500-3,000 workers are on site. Many are cleaning up radioactive debris scattered by the explosions. Others are installing and operating systems to decontaminate radioactive water. Still others are erecting a shroud over the Unit 1 reactor, to prevent further contamination from the meltdown spreading to the environment. Similar covers may follow at Units 2 and 3, which also melted down (see Video).

Are the reactors stable?

Not entirely, but they are much more stable than they were six months ago. After the earthquake, the three reactors operating at the time shut down, but their uranium fuel continued to decay and release heat. The systems that keep the fuel cool in an emergency stopped working, and in the first hours after the accident the fuel became so hot that it probably melted. The melting is thought to have created a mess at the bottom of the reactors and released hydrogen gas that eventually ignited, causing explosions.

FAQs - Nuclear Explosions and Seismology


Q: Can nuclear explosions cause earthquakes?

A: On January 19, 1968, a thermonuclear test, codenamed Faultless, took place in the Central Nevada Supplemental Test Area. The codename turned out to be a poor choice of words because a fresh fault rupture some 1200 meters long was produced. Seismographic records showed that the seismic waves produced by the fault movement were much less energetic than those produced directly by the nuclear explosion.

Analysis of local seismic recordings (within a couple of miles) of nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site shows that some tectonic stress is released simultaneously with the explosion. Analysis of the seismic wavefield generated by the blast shows the source can be characterized as 70-80 percent dilational (explosive-like) and 20-30 percent deviatoric (earthquake-like). The rock in the vicinity of the thermonuclear device is shattered by the passage of the explosions shock wave. This releases the elastic strain energy that was stored in the rock and adds an earthquake-like component to the seismic wavefield. The possibility of large Nevada Test Site nuclear explosions triggering damaging earthquakes in California was publicly raised in 1969. As a test of this possibility, rate of earthquake occurrence in northern California (magnitude 3.5 and larger) and the known times of the six largest thermonuclear tests (1965-1969) were plotted and it was obvious that no peaks in the seismicity occur at the times of the explosions. This is in agreement with theoretical calculations that transient strain from underground thermonuclear explosions is not sufficiently large to trigger fault rupture at distances beyond a few tens of kilometers from the shot point.

Wikipedia


Tsunami


A tsunami, also called a tsunami wave train, and at one time referred to as a tidal wave, is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water, usually an ocean, though it can occur in large lakes. Owing to the immense volumes of water and the high energy involved, tsunamis can devastate coastal regions.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, sciorrucks (underwater landslides), glacier calvings and other mass movements, meteorite ocean impacts or similar impact events, and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.

:40:30
The altar has been prepared in
accordance with your written instructions.

:40:33
Good! Get the Ark there immediately.

:40:38
Monsieur?

:40:41
I'm uncomfortable with the
thought of this Jewish ritual.

:40:47
Are you sure it is necessary?

:40:50
Let me ask you this:

:40:52
Would you be more comfortable
opening the Ark in Berlin...

:40:55
for your Führer...

:40:57
Finding out only then if the sacred
pieces of the covenant are inside?

:41:02
Knowing only then, whether you
have accomplished your mission,

:41:05
and obtained the one, true Ark?
