Goes was founded in the 10th century on the edge of a creek: de Korte Gos (the Short Gos). The village grew fast, and in the early 12th century it had a market square and a church devoted to Mary Magdalene. In 1405 Goes received city rights from William, Duke of Bavaria, by his right as count of Holland, and in 1417 it was allowed to build town walls. The prosperity of the city was based upon the cloth industry and the production of salt. In the 16th century Goes declined. Its connection to the sea silted up and in 1554 a large fire destroyed part of the city.
In Autumn 1572, during the course of the Eighty Years' War, Goes, in the Spanish Netherlands, was besieged by Dutch forces with the support of English troops. The siege was relieved in October 1572 by Spanish Tercios, who waded across the Scheldt to attack the besieging forces. In 1577 the Spanish soldiers who occupied Goes were driven out by Prince Maurits of Nassau. The prince built a defence wall around Goes, which is still partly standing. From the 17th century Goes did not play an important role, except as an agricultural centre. In 1868 a railway was constructed through it, but this did not lead to industrialisation. Agriculture remains the most important economic activity.
GOES-L was launched aboard an International Launch ServicesAtlas IIA rocket, flying from Space Launch Complex 36A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The launch occurred at 07:07 GMT on 3 May. The launch was originally scheduled for 15 March 1999, however it was delayed to allow the Eutelsat W3 satellite to be launched first. Following this, it was rescheduled for 15 May. On 30 April, the Centaur upper stage of a Titan IV(401)B failed during the launch of USA-143. Since a version of the Centaur was also used on the Atlas II, the launch of GOES-L was delayed a week to ensure that the same problem would not affect its launch. Less than five days after the Titan failure, a Delta III failed to launch Orion 3. The failure occurred during the second stage restart, and as the Delta III and Atlas II both used RL10 engines on their second stages, this resulted in a further delay.

They could be gone in a decade. Every year 30,000 African forest elephants are slaughtered for trinkets and trophies made from their ivory tusks. That's one dead every twenty minutes. Much of this ivory makes its way to America because of a loophole in our laws. You can help change that and give Elephants a chance at survival. Your "Elephant Hero" gift to the wildlife lover in your life will help NRDC stop the ivory trade here at home and save the lives of elephants in Africa.

Take a look at the pouring rain, Last time it rained for forty days Take a look at the sun that shines Painting colors of ribbons in the sky Take a look out your window And take a look at how the green grass grows I can feel it on the inside I give thanks and praise to be alive Together we can make some memories And help love grow and live eternally And spread this word over both land and sea And help each other on this long hard jouney Ever since I was a young little boi All I needed was my families and toys And learning how to count from one to ten I said my ABC's and do it all again And I learned how to walk, And I learned how to talk. And I learned that love is what life costs And it still amazes me when I look down at a keiki And see all the things they learn from you and me 2x Together we can make some memories And help love grow and live eternally And spread this word over both land and sea And help each other on this long hard jouney ... 2x Show me the way, Teach me the part Help me find a way back to your mind and your heart Keep me alive and Ill keep you well Share a little water from your bucket to my well. 2x Together we can make some memories And help love grow and live eternally And spread this word over both land and sea And help each other on this long hard jouney show me the way teach me the part help me find a way back to your mind and your heart keep me alive and I'll keep you well share a little water from your bucket to my well.
