The park largely consists of woods, housing a large variation of wildlife some of which are considered dangerous to humans, like grizzly bears and wolves. This is why visitors have to follow safety instructions if they intend to actively seek out these animals. But Yellowstone Park also has much cherished passive wildlife like bison, elk, deer, moose and pronghorn. The parks diverse ecological environments, like snowy mountains, stretched out plains and long rivers, make it a home for many different species.

Aside for its wildlife, Yellowstone Park is very well known for its hydrothermal wonders. Yellowstone itself is a partially active – but mostly inactive - volcano that spreads immense heat throughout parts of the land, rapidly evaporating cold water with immense pressure and thus creating over two hundred of its world famous geysers. It’s most famous geyser is Old Faithful. This geyser blasts out a forty-five meter high spout of water and steam every ninety-two minutes or so with a temperature of about two hundred degrees Celsius. Aside from its geysers, Yellowstone Park also holds a large amount of hot springs supported by bright white limestone created by volcanic processes. Yellowstone volcano is one of the most powerful volcanoes in the world, granting it the name ‘super volcano’. Geologists claim that Yellowstone is to erupt every 600.000 years, resulting in a gigantic catastrophe for that reaches most of the planet called a ‘volcanic winter’: an event that fills the world’s skies with thick layers of ash, blocking out all of the sunlight and thus killing off most of the plant- and animal life. Yellowstone volcano’s last eruption was estimated to take place about 640.000 years ago. This is why people wonder if we are yet again at the brink of a disastrous explosion. Luckily, according to these same Geologists the volcano is showing signs that its previous eruption was its last one, and it will now spend its next eternity completely dormant. 

Apollo’s moon-landing was the climax of a 14 year long space race between the USA and the USSR, who had been competing to be the first nation in the world to achieve various breakthroughs in the human space-exploration. The USSR had a long and early lead by being the first to launch a satellite – Sputnik 1 –, followed by their achievement of launching the first life-form into space – Laika the Dog – and finally the first human – Yuri Gagarin. Former US president John F. Kennedy decided to ‘raise the stakes’ with a goal to land the first man on the moon and return him safely to earth.’ The US began investing large amounts of money in NASA’s space program, enabling the company to creating a successful moon mission in a relatively short amount of time. Up until today there is still arguing over whoever won this space-race.

Culturally, Grunge was a result of a generational tradition to reject its predecessors. It largely sparked from the wide distribution of Hair Metal and Glam Metal, both of which were commercially exploited by low-grade bands with unoriginal songs after the initial success of well performing bands like Kiss. Grunge is a combination of heavy metal and punk rock that brings it to a lower pace to create music that often sounds ominous and dark. Seattle had a large underground music scene at the time that was popular at many progressive schools and universities, which was essential to the mainstream spread of the genre throughout the rest of the world.

The four most popular Seattle-based grunge bands were Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. All of whom despised the label ‘grunge’ because of its potential to be commercialised, which conflicted with the feelings of repulsion for mainstream cash-in bands that shaped their music. Grunge was often disliked by the conservative population because it contained lyrics about taboo topics like depression and rape. 

The mainstream interest in Grunge arguably took a halt with the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1994. However, some claim that the genre was laid to rest for good after the death of Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley in 2002.

Jobs didn’t create most of these inventions on his own. In 1977, after having worked at Atari for a few years, he founded Apple Computer with his colleague Ronald Wayne and his old school-buddy Steve Wozniak. Jobs was known for his fondness for design. Every aspect of his creation has to be ‘perfect’, including the packaging. His love for design was reflected by the way he dressed: slick, clean and minimalistic.

Aside from his inventions, Steve Jobs was also known for his outstanding and gripping presentations. He managed to leave his audience hanging on every word he said. He used simple language and presented with infectious excitement. Jobs also used slides with very little words and a simple image, causing the image to have more impact. Once again contributing to the minimalistic design that he embodied.
