Norris Geyser Basin
Steamboat Geyser, in Yellowstone National Park's Norris Geyser Basin, is the world's tallest currently-active geyser. During major eruptions, water may be thrown more than 300 feet (91 m) into the air.[3]
Steamboat's major eruptions last from 3 to 40 minutes, and are followed by powerful jets of steam. Steamboat does not erupt on a predictable schedule, with recorded intervals between major eruptions ranging from four days to fifty years. The geyser was dormant from 1911 to 1961. Minor eruptions of 10 to 15 feet (3.0 to 4.6 m) are much more frequent. After an eruption, the geyser often vents large amounts of steam for up to 48 hours.[4] Cistern Spring, located nearby, will drain completely during a major eruption of the geyser; the spring refills within a few days.
Prior to 1904, Waimangu Geyser, in New Zealand, had some taller eruptions capable of reaching 1,600 feet (490 m), but in 1904, a landslide changed the local water table, and since then, Waimangu has not erupted.[5] Excelsior Geyser in Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin likewise was taller, with eruptions reaching 300 feet (91 m). However, Excelsior has not erupted since 1985,[6] and now functions as a hot spring (though eruptions are, as in all hot springs, still a possibility).
The last eruption of Steamboat Geyser occurred on April 27th, 2018. The last several major eruptions were on the following dates:[7]
  • October 12, 1991
  • May 2, 2000 - (3,125 days)
  • April 26, 2002 - (724 days)
  • September 13, 2002 - (140 days)
  • March 26, 2003 - (194 days)
  • April 27, 2003 - (32 days)
  • October 22, 2003 - (178 days)
  • May 23, 2005 - (579 days)
  • July 31, 2013 - (2,991 days)
  • September 3, 2014 - (399 days)
  • March 15, 2018 - (1,289 days)
  • April 19, 2018 - (35 days)
  • April 27, 2018 - (8 days)
Steamboat Geyser has two vents, a northern and a southern, approximately five meters apart

Beata Luisa Piccarreta- "Ogni duemila anni ho rinnovato il mondo"

4. BEATA LUISA PICCARRETA 29 gennaio 1919 - volume 12 Luisa Piccarreta nacque a Corato (Bari), situato al centro delle Murge, il 25 aprile 1865, quarta delle cinque figlie di Vito Nicola Piccarreta e Rosa Tarantino. Verso i tredici anni ebbe la visione di Gesù, che portando la Croce sulla via del Calvario e alzando gli occhi verso di lei, pronunziò: "Anima, aiutami". Subì fenomeni particolari, di cui il più eclatante fu quello della rigidità cadaverica; non esistevano cure che potessero risolvere questa indicibile pena: solo il segno di croce fatto da un sacerdote la riportava alla normalità. Il nuovo arcivescovo di Trani, mons. De Stefano (1898-1906) delegò come nuovo confessore di Luisa, don Gennaro Di Gennaro, che lo fu per 24 anni. Questo sacerdote, intuendo il lavorio interno di Dio su quest'anima, le ordinò di mettere per iscritto, tutto ciò che la Grazia Divina operava in lei. Nonostante che avesse frequentato solo la prima

MESSAGGIO DELLA SANTISSIMA VERGINE MARIA  ALLA SUA AMATA FIGLIA LUZ DE MARIA 24 APRILE 2018 Amati figli del Mio Cuore Immacolato: RICEVETE LA MIA BENEDIZIONE ED IL MIO AUSILIO. Vi chiedo di mantenervi sulla Via di Mio Figlio, che come Buon Pastore conosce le Sue pecore e desidera che il Suo Gregge rimanga al Suo Fianco. (Cfr. Gv 10, 14-16). I MIEI FIGLI STANNO VIVENDO I MOMENTI CRUCIALI SUI QUALI VI AVEVO ALLERTATO NELLE MIE PRECEDENTI APPARIZIONI ED IL PERICOLO MAGGIORE È QUELLO DELLA PERDITA DELLA SALVEZZA ETERNA. Il demonio assedia in modo particolare la vostra volontà umana, con costanti suggerimenti per farvi allontanare da Mio Figlio. Il male usa mezzi elusivi per passare inosservato, specialmente se non siete focalizzati sull’operare ed agire a somiglianza di Mio Figlio e se non vi decidete a superare gli ostacoli dell’ego umano, che vi impediscono di mettere veramente in pratica la Volontà di Mio

Did you cover-up for McCarrick?

Thousands of Catholic women demand Francis answer this: Did you cover-up for McCarrick? Thousands of Catholic women demand Francis answer this: Did you cover-up for McCarrick? August 30, 2018 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A group of prominent Catholic women have written an open letter to Pope Francis imploring him to provide clarity on the “escalating” sex abuse crisis currently “engulfing” the Church. Expressing anger, betrayal, and heartbreak, the women bluntly ask Pope Francis if Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s detailed testimony about sex abuse being covered up by Vatican officials, including the Pope, is true or not. “We are Catholic women deeply committed to our faith and profoundly grateful for Church teachings, the Sacraments, and the many good bishops and priests who have blessed our lives,” they write. They also call on him to publicly state when he learned of the “abhorrent” allegations against now ex-Cardinal McCarrick and if he knew about and lifted sancti
