In 1980, the United States led a boycott of the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow to protest the late 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In total, 65 nations refused to participate in the games, where as 80 countries sent athletes to compete. In early 1980, the movement toward either boycotting the games altogether or moving them out of the Soviet Union gained momentum. Calls for boycotts of Olympic events were not uncommon; just four years prior, most of the nations of Sub-Saharan Africa boycotted the Summer Games in Montreal to protest the attendance of New Zealand after the latter sent its rugby team to play against the team from apartheid South Africa. Within the United States, there was public support for the boycott. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a nonbinding resolution approving the decision to stay away from Moscow with a vote of 386 in favor and 12 opposed; the U.S. Senate passed a similar measure with a vote of 88 to 4.

John Lennon death by Marielos Sanchez
Give peace a chance!John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English rock musician, singer, and songwriter who gained worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and "wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history". Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and biting wit in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and artist. Lennon was raised as an Anglican and attended Dovedale Primary School until he passed his Eleven-Plus exam.[19][20] From September 1952 to 1957, he attended the Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool, where he was known as a "happy-go-lucky" pupil, drawing comical cartoons and mimicking his teachers.The Beatles: 1957–1970Awards!Double Fantasy, which would win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the YearIn 2002, respondents to a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted Lennon into eighth place.In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Lennon number 38 on its list of "The Immortals: The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time" and ranked The Beatles at number one.also ranked fifth greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone in 2008.Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994When I asked my mom what she thought about john lennon she said “ the guy from the beatles that said they were better than God?” … if you don’t know who john lennon is your stupid! But here is what my mom was referring to… “ Lennon: "I suppose if I had said television was more popular than Jesus, I would have gotten away with it, but I just happened to be talking to a friend and I used the words "Beatles" as a remote thing, not as what I think - as Beatles, as those other Beatles like other people see us. I just said "they" are having more influence on kids and things than anything else, including Jesus. But I said it in that way which is the wrong way". Reporter: "Some teenagers have repeated your statements - "I like the Beatles more than Jesus Christ." What do you think about that?"Lennon: "Well, originally I pointed out that fact in reference to England. That we meant more to kids than Jesus did, or religion at that time. I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this".Reporter: "But are you prepared to apologise?"Lennon: "I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologise if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologise, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry". In my opinion I don’t think he meant anything by this.I think what he was probably trying to say was like the impact that the Beatles were having on the world at that time was unlike many had seen. Even to this day the new generations that are just now being introduced to the music like it. And I can say from my own experience that after hearing I found it peaceful, its different it has its own stile and it has meaning. that’s getting harder and harder to find in the music we kids listen to. But its nice to have a something to fall back on. But on another note john lennon was a peaceful and talented man that put out his message throughout his music and he damn straight was good at it. that’s why he is so significant up to this day!woohoo

This volcano was fisr discovered by Eroupean when British commander George Vancouver spotted Mt. St. Helen from the mountain after his fellow contry man, Alleyne Fitzherbert, the Baron St. Helen.
Mt. St. Helen has had many eruptions geologic evidence say that Mt. St. Helens erupted around 1,600 and 1,700. 1,800 and during the 26-year span of 1931 to 1957 after 1857 the volcano grew quiet. On March 20, 1980 a 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck underneath Mt. St. Helens. This was an alert to scientist that the volcano had reawakened and was active. In March 27 small explosions occur clowing a 250-foot hole in the mountain and released a plume of ash. These kind of explosions continued to happen for the next month. In April a large bulge started to grow quickly pushing five feet a day. The buldge reached a mile in length by the end of April. The day had came and on May 18, 1980, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck under Mt. St. Helens. In less than 10 seconds the bulge and a surroundings are fell away in a gigantic rock avalanche. This creeated a gap in the mountain. This gap allowed was very bag that the noise was even heard in Montana and California. But those who were close to Mt. St. Helens didnt hear anything. This avalanche grew quickly in sizwe as it went down the mountain doing 70 to 150 miles per hour. This big blast killed everything in a 100 square mile area. In less than 10 minutes the plume of ash had reached 10 miles high. This eruption was nine hours long. Scientists and other who were caught in the area had no way out. 57 people were killed. They think about 7,000 large animals. This eruption felled entire forests. Mt. St. Helens is now only 8,363 feet tall and 1,314 feet shorter than it was before the explosion.

In less than 10 minutes the plume of ash had reached 10 miles high. This eruption was nine hours long. Scientists and other who were caught in the area had no way out. 57 people were killed. They think about 7,000 large animals. This eruption felled entire forests. Mt. St. Helens is now only 8,363 feet tall and 1,314 feet shorter than it was before the explosion. This will not be last sruption from this very volcano.
New Treatment for Diseases By Jessica (science)
Research money allowed for studies to continue and new treatments for heart, cancer, and other diseases were found. Dr.Joseph Goldstein and Micheal Nrown were sponsored by the AHA were awarded the Nobel Price in Physiology in the research of the role of low-density protein receptors in controlling blood cholesterol's levels. This research provided new insights into the ways fatty cholesterol enters body cells and way cholesterol's levels may become high. This could cause heart disease.
Accordingly to save research clone but healthy bay news, women who received radiation treatment for breast cancer during the 1980's appear to beat high risk of getting heart disease. But even with this disease didn't stop the reaction for breast cancer. Only because radiation treatment has been proven in other studies to improve the chances of breast Cancers are survival!

Sally Ride by Erika Sanchez (Figure)
One important historical figure of the 1980’s was Sally Kristen Ride. Sally Ride was born on May 26, 1951 in Endocino, California. Ride was really good at playing tennis. She started playing when she was ten. Ride even won a tennis scholarship to West lake school for girls in Los Angeles. When Sally graduated in 1968 she attended Swarthmore College. After a couple of months Sally decided that tennis was not her thing and she was not good enough to become pro. So she put tennis in her past and enrolled herself at Stanford University.
When Sally was 27 already with BA and BS and masters degrees she was a PhD looking for postdoctoral work in astrophysics. She happens to read about NASA’s call for astronauts in the Stanford University paper. Thirty-five happen to be accepted, six of whom were women and Sally Ride was one of them. Ride joined NASA in 1977 and underwent extensive training. She really enjoyed flight training.
In 1983, Dr. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space on the shuttle challenger (STS-7) her next flight was an eight-day mission. In 1984 on challenger (STS 41-g) Sally Ride had more than 343 hours of space flight. She was preparing for her third mission when challenger exploded in 1986. The training was suspended so she was appointed to the presidential commission to investigate the incident. Sally moved to NASA headquarters in Washington DC there she was assistant to the NASA.
In 1987 Sally Ride retired from NASA and became a science fellow at the center for international security and arms control at Stanford University. When two years passed Sally was named director of the California space institute and was a teacher of physics at the University of California. Ride encourages a lot of women to study science and math. After all her achievements she has made she has received numerous awards and has written or collaborated on five children’s books. For all this Sally Ride is a very important figure of the 1980’s.
