"It is not possible, indeed, to forget the sufferings...
inflicted on the indigenous populations,
whose fundamental rights were often trampled on,"
he told pilgrims at his weekly audience.

"While we do not overlook the various injustices
and sufferings which accompanied colonization,
the gospel has expressed and continues to express
the identity of the peoples in this region."

E Pluribus Unum
"From many, (comes) One."

The earliest known use of the name America for this particular landmass
dates from April 25, 1507.
It appears on a globe and a large map
created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller
in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges.
An accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio,
explains that the name was derived from the Latinized version
of the explorer Amerigo Vespucci's name, Americus Vespucius,
in its feminine form, America,
as the other continents all have Latin feminine names.

Vespucci's role in the naming issue,
like his exploratory activity, is unclear.
Some sources say that he was unaware of the widespread use of his name
to refer to the new landmass.
Christopher Columbus,
who had first brought the region's existence
to the attention of Renaissance era voyagers,
had died in 1506
(believing, to the end, that he'd discovered and colonized part of India)
and could not protest Waldseemüller's decision.


A few alternative theories regarding the landmass' naming
have been proposed,
but none of them has achieved any widespread acceptance.

Binger, Oklahoma F4 tornado of 22 May 1981.

[mayavin]

These are two photographs of the Waurika, Oklahoma tornado of May 30, 1976,
taken at nearly the same time
by two different photographers.
In the top picture, the tornado is front-lit,
with the sun behind the east-facing camera,
so the funnel appears nearly white.
In the lower image, where the camera is facing the opposite direction,
the tornado is back-lit,
with the sun behind the clouds.
