In October 2006, Finnish paper and pulp manufacturer UPM announced its plans to produce biodiesel using the Fischer–Tropsch process.
It said that it will do this along with the manufacturing processes at its European paper and pulp plants.
It will use waste biomass from paper and pulp manufacturing as raw material for biodiesel.
Research developments
Carbon dioxide reuse
In 2009, chemists working for the U.S. Navy studied Fischer-Tropsch for making fuels with hydrogen from electrolyzed seawater.
With the usually optimal cobalt catalyst, this study produced mostly methane gas.
Use of an iron catalyst, however, resulted in only 30% methane in the product; the rest consisted of short-chain hydrocarbons.
Further refining of the hydrocarbons produced could lead to the creation of kerosene-based jet fuel.
The abundance of CO2 makes seawater look like a good alternative fuel source.
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory said that, "although the gas forms only a small proportion of air – around 0.04 per cent – ocean water contains about 140 times that concentration".
However this often-repeated statement is misleading because while the density of CO2 and related compounds in seawater is about 200x the density of CO2 in air on a per cubic meter basis, carbon dioxide compounds are only about 1/4 the density on a per kg basis.
John Brown (May 9, 1800 – December 2, 1859) was an American abolitionist.
Brown supported using violence to end slavery in the United States.
He first got national attention when he led small groups of people during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856.
In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today West Virginia).
He wanted to start a slave liberation movement that would spread south through the areas of Virginia and North Carolina.
He took control of the armory, but seven people were killed, and ten or more were injured.
Brown wanted to arm slaves with weapons from the armory.
However, few local slaves joined his attack.
Within 36 hours, Brown's men were killed or captured by local farmers, militiamen, and U.S. Marines.
Brown was executed by hanging for treason against the state of Virginia on December 2, 1859.
He was the first person executed for treason in the history of the United States.
Brown is still a controversial person today.
He is both remembered as a heroic martyr, and he is hated as a madman and a terrorist.
John Brown was born May 9, 1800, in Torrington, Connecticut.
He was the fourth of the eight children of Owen Brown (1771–1856) and Ruth Mills (1772–1808) and grandson of Capt.
John Brown (1728–1776).
Brown's ancestors were 17th-century English Puritans.
In 1805, the family moved to Hudson, Ohio.
Owen Brown opened a tannery here.
Hudson had a lot of anti-slavery activity.
Owen was a part of it.
Owen provided a safe house to Underground Railroad fugitives.
There was not a high school in Hudson at that time, so John studied at the school of the abolitionist Elizur Wright.
Elizur Wright was the father of Elizur Wright, in nearby Tallmadge.
When he was 16 years old, Brown left his family and went to Plainfield, Massachusetts.
He joined a preparatory program.
Shortly afterward, he went to the Morris Academy in Litchfield, Connecticut.
In 1820, Brown married Dianthe Lusk.
Their first child, John Jr, was born 13 months later.
In 1825, looking for a safer place (for fugitive slaves), Brown and his family moved to New Richmond, Pennsylvania.
He bought  of land.
He cleared an eighth of it, and he built a cabin, a barn, and a tannery.
The tannery had a secret room to hide escaping slaves.
The John Brown Tannery Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It "was a major stop on the [Underground] Railroad, marking its place in history from 1825 to 1835."
During that period, "Brown helped an estimated 2,500 slaves escape."
In 1829, some white families asked Brown to help them remove Native Americans who hunted annually in the area.
Brown told them, "I will have nothing to do with [such a] mean act.
I would [rather] take my gun and help [remove] you from the country."
Throughout his life, Brown kept peaceful relations with his Native American neighbors.
Sometimes he would go with them on hunting trips, and he invited them to eat in his home.
In 1831, one of his sons died.
Brown became sick, and his businesses started to do poorly.
This made Brown have a lot of debt.
In the summer of 1832, shortly after the death of a newborn son, his wife Dianthe died.
The only family he had left were his children John Jr., Jason, Owen, and Ruth. (
Another three of their children died before they became adults.)
On June 14, 1833, Brown married 16-year-old Mary Ann Day (April 15, 1817 – May 1, 1884).
She was from Washington County, New York.
They had 13 children; those alive at John Brown's death were Salmon, Annie, Sarah, and Ellen.
In 1836, Brown moved his family to Franklin Mills, Ohio (now known as Kent).
There, he borrowed money to buy land in the area.
He built and operated a tannery along the Cuyahoga River.
His partner was Zenas Kent.
He strongly believed in Christianity.
He believed that Christians should treat people the same no matter what color their skin was.
Many white Christians in America at this time did not agree with this.
Kansas and the Pottawatomie Massacre
Brown lived mostly in Springfield, Massachusetts before moving to the Kansas Territory.
This would later become the state of Kansas in 1861.
Several of his sons were already living there.
Brown's sons wanted his help to fight people from Missouri.
The people in Missouri wanted slavery to be legal in Kansas.
On May 24, 1856, Brown and his sons killed five people in Kansas who wanted slavery to be legal.
They dragged the people out of their homes and killed them with swords.
This came to be known as the Pottawatomie massacre.
Many people in Kansas were shocked and upset about this.
More violent things happened after this.
This was the beginning of the period in the Kansas Territory known as Bleeding Kansas.
Before leaving Kansas, Brown and his followers were attacked at the Battle of Osawatomie on August 30, 1856.
His son Frederick was killed there.
In 1859, Brown decided to attack the Harpers Ferry Armory in Harper's Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia).
He was planning on giving the weapons to slaves.
The slaves would use the weapons to fight against their masters and become free.
Brown attacked the arsenal in October 1859.
His sons and several other men, including several black men, helped him with the attack.
His attack failed.
Brown was captured, and was executed by hanging for treason against the state of Virginia on December 2, 1859.
I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.
I had, as I now think, [naively thought] that [it could be done without much bloodshed].
He read his Bible and wrote a final letter to his wife.
The letter included his will.
At 11:00 a.m. he was taken from the county jail through a crowd of 2,000 soldiers a few blocks away.
He was taken to a small field where the gallows were.
Among the soldiers in the crowd were future Confederate general Stonewall Jackson, and John Wilkes Booth (Booth borrowed a militia uniform to watch the execution).
The poet Walt Whitman, in Year of Meteors, described watching the execution.
Brown chose to receive no religious services in the jail or at the scaffold.
He was hanged at 11:15 a.m. He was declared dead at 11:50 a.m.
Aftermath of the raid
The raid on Harpers Ferry is generally thought to have pushed the United States towards civil war.
Southern slaveowners, hearing early reports that hundreds of abolitionists were involved, were glad the action was so small.
However, they feared other abolitionists would also try to lead slave rebellions.
Therefore, the South reorganized the old militia system.
These militias became a ready-made Confederate army, making the South better prepared for war.
Many abolitionists in the North believed Brown was a martyr, and that he sacrificed for the evils of the nation.
Immediately after the raid, William Lloyd Garrison published a column in The Liberator.
He said Brown's raid "[meant well] but sadly unwise" and "wild and [pointless]".
However, he defended Brown's character from haters in the Northern and Southern press.
He argued that those who supported the ideas of the American Revolution could not consistently oppose Brown's raid.
On the day Brown was hanged, Garrison said in Boston: "whenever [it happens], I all slave revolts succeed".
People had strong feelings about John Brown.
Some people thought that he was crazy or evil.
Other people thought that he was a hero.
His attack on Harpers Ferry helped lead to the American Civil War.
The war would start in 1861.
Many Black leaders of the timeMartin Delany, Henry Highland Garnet, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubmanknew and respected Brown. "
Tubman thought Brown was the greatest white man who ever lived."
Douglass called him "a brave and glorious old man."
Black businesses in the North closed on the day of his execution.
Church bells rang across the North.

Annabeth Chase is a fictional character in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series.
She is a demigod, meaning she is half-mortal and half goddess.
Her father is the mortal Frederick Chase and her mother is Athena, the goddess of wisdom, crafts, arts, and battle strategy.
She is first cousins with Magnus Chase, whose mother is her paternal aunt.
She appears first in the first novel of the series, The Lightning Thief.
Throughout the series she becomes close friends with Percy Jackson, later becoming his main love interest and girlfriend.
She is played by the actress Alexandra Daddario in the movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which is based off the first book, The Lightning Thief.
Also played the same part in the movie " The Sea of Monsters", which is based on the novel "Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters".
She is played by Kristin Stokes in the musical The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, which is based off of the first novel in the series, The Lightning Thief
The writer of the books, Rick Riordan, was asked in an interview, "Do you feel those who said the main characters, such as Grover and Annabeth, are heroes in their own right?".
He answered, "Annabeth is Percy's rational side.
She can think through things and look at options that sometimes evade Percy in his moments of battle panic."
This means she can think even when there is a fight going on, unlike Percy, and can find solutions to problems.
That is also why Annabeth is a daughter of Athena because she is the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.
Annabeth Chase is the half-blood daughter of the goddess Athena and the mortal man Frederick Chase.
She was born July 12, 1993.
Being a daughter of Athena, who is a virgin, she was not physically born, but is a literal 'brain child'; she was born as a gift to the man her mother loved.
When she was seven, she ran away from home.
On her journey, she met Luke Castellan, Thalia Grace, and Grover Underwood.
Together, they traveled to Camp Half-Blood, running from and fighting hordes of monsters.
When they got to the borders of Camp  half blood,Thalia made her final stand fighting monsters so that Luke, Grover and Annabeth could safely get into camp.
Thalia's father, Zeus, changes her into a pine tree on top of a hill that comes to be known as Thalia's Pine Tree.
Annabeth lived at Camp Half-Blood for five years prior to Percy Jackson's arrival.
It has been shown that Annabeth does not get along with her father and step-family.
According to her, her father was not very happy when she first appeared and tends to look at her as a nuisance.
Her step-siblings appear to dislike her and feel afraid of her.
Her stepmother seems to hate her and feel that she endangers the family by being only half-mortal.
At the end of The Lightning Thief, Annabeth returns to her family to see if she can get along with them.
She is able to stay with them for approximately a year, but it is unknown if her feeling towards her family have changed; however, in The Titan's Curse, her father and stepmother seem to care for her deeply, and her father helps fight off Kronos's army to save Annabeth.
Annabeth is a good fighter, and has been shown to be able to think on her feet in very hard situations.
Despite this, Annabeth dreams of being an architect (building things), and the story has made many references to this.
In The Lightning Thief, she enjoys and quickly becomes addicted to the 3-D holographic SimCity-esque game at the Lotus Hotel and Casino, and in The Sea of Monsters, it was shown that Annabeth’s greatest dream is to redesign the whole world to make it better, make Luke good again, and be accepted by her mother and father.
In The Last Olympian, she is granted the status of being the architect of Olympus.
Hubris, or deadly pride, is Annabeth's fatal flaw.
Annabeth thinks that she is able to do anything: get her parents back together, build great monuments, and save Luke, as shown in the second book.
She sometimes even thinks she can rebuild the world into an even better place than the immortals did.
She also has a deep fear of spiders, (arachnophobia), due to the contest between Athena and Arachne.
Annabeth is described as being athletic and having curly blond hair (like a princess's), tan skin, and stormy gray eyes.
Percy Jackson describes her as "cute" at first but eventually she becomes "seriously beautiful."
In the books
Annabeth first appears in The Lightning Thief and is twelve years old.
She was nicknamed "Wise Girl" by Clarisse, in a spat of insults.
The  name was meant as an insult but, now it's an affectionate pet name.
She first meets Percy Jackson after he was attacked by the Minotaur and makes his way into Half-Blood Hill.
When he first saw her, Percy described Annabeth as "pretty" with blond hair curled "like a princess"  After Percy heals from the Minotaur attack, Annabeth hears that he is to go on a quest (search) and she wants to go along, thinking Percy is "the one" from The Great Prophecy.
Together, she, Percy, and Grover go searching for Zeus's stolen lightning bolt.
Throughout the book, Annabeth shows her unique intelligence, which she inherited from her mother, and also her arachnophobia (fear of spiders) that she shares with all her siblings on her mother's side (originating from the story of Arachne and Athena)
Annabeth, Percy and Tyson, having not been allowed to go on the quest for the Golden Fleece to save Thalia's Pine Tree and find Grover by Chiron's temporary replacement, sneak out of Camp Half-Blood to do so.
During the book it is revealed that Annabeth's greatest dream is to redesign the whole world to improve it, save Luke (from himself), and be accepted by her mother and father.
After getting stranded on the island of the Queen-Witch Circe, Annabeth saves Percy after he is turned into a Guinea Pig using the multivitamins given to them by Hermes.
During the fight with Polyphemus Annabeth (while invisible with the use of her Yankee's Cap) pretends to be Nobody and distracts him long enough for Percy to vanquish him.
Annabeth is injured fatally during the fight but is healed with the help of the Golden Fleece.
Annabeth is kidnapped along with the goddess Artemis and has to be saved by Percy, Thalia, Grover, and the huntresses Zoë Nightshade and Bianca di Angelo.
In a dream Percy has, Annabeth is on a mountain, and she sees Luke holding up a black roof (unknown to Percy, it is the sky).
Annabeth helps him hold it, and then Luke slips out from underneath, making Annabeth hold it.
This is later used to trick Artemis into holding the sky, as Artemis would not be able to resist helping a maiden.
Unlike the other books, Annabeth's role is quite small.
It is hinted in this book that there will be a romantic future for her and Percy.
Aphrodite, the goddess of love, also convinced Percy about his feelings for Annabeth, though she also made it even harder for them to fall in love.
In the end, Percy saves both Annabeth and Artemis, while Thalia is fighting Luke until he falls off a cliff.
By this book, Annabeth is fourteen.
Percy and Annabeth find an entrance into the Labyrinth.
She realizes that Luke may try to use this entrance to invade Camp.
Annabeth leads the quest into the Labyrinth, fulfilling one of her ambitions.
She goes into the Labyrinth with Percy, Grover, and Tyson to find a way to stop Kronos's evil forces from entering the borders of Camp Half-Blood by searching for the Labyrinth's inventor, Daedalus.
The prophecy the Oracle gave her appears to have scared her and she refuses to say the last line.
As they go into the Labyrinth, they face many hardships.
Annabeth faces a Sphinx and finds the riddles (which are actually factual questions) not challenging and an insult to her intellect.
They escape the claws of the Sphinx and continue on to find Hephaestus so he can tell them about where to find Daedalus.
As they head towards Hephaestus' forge in Mount St. Helens, they find telekhines there making a weapon for Kronos.
Percy tells Annabeth to escape while she can.
She kisses him for luck and they part ways.
Annabeth believes that he dies when Mount St. Helens erupts, but this is not the case.
Percy fell onto the island Ogygia, prison of the nymph Calypso, a daughter of Atlas.
When Percy comes back to camp, Annabeth is performing a funeral ritual for him.
When she notices him, she hugs him, making a scene.
However, when she finds out about Calypso, she is very jealous.
Percy then asks a mortal girl, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, to help them on their way through the Labyrinth (Rachel has a rare ability to see through the Mist).
Annabeth becomes very jealous at how close Percy and Rachel are getting.
The three of them discover Luke, who has become Kronos's vessel.
After a battle, Luke is forced back into the Labyrinth, leaving two casualties.
Annabeth refuses to believe that Luke is all bad, and gets quite mad at Percy for saying otherwise.
After they fulfilled their mission, Annabeth and Percy are standing on Half-Blood Hill, and are matching their goals with the prophecy, Annabeth reveals the last line of her prophecy, "To lose a love to worse than death" and is confused, not sure about her feelings for Luke, or a secret love for Percy.
At the end she leaves with her dad to go to a private school in San Francisco.
In the final book, Annabeth first appears when Percy returns from blowing up Kronos's ship, the Princess Andromeda.
Following his arrival, Annabeth helps Percy hear the Great Prophecy.
Percy bathes in the River Styx (he narrowly escapes by imagining Annabeth pulling him out of the river) and calls Annabeth, telling her to meet him in front of the Empire State Building with all the demigods from Camp Half Blood.
When Annabeth and Percy go to Olympus, they meet Hermes, to whom Annabeth tries to apologize about Luke turning into Kronos.
Hermes becomes angry at her and blames her for not saving Luke.
Hermes leaves, and they return to the other campers to defend Manhattan and Mount Olympus.
In battle, Ethan Nakamura attempts to stab Percy in the small of his back, his Achilles spot, and Annabeth jumps in front of him, taking the knife.
After a few hours of rest, Annabeth, though still weak from poison, goes back into battle.
Kronos goes to Olympus, and Grover, Thalia, Percy, and Annabeth follow him.
Kronos attacks Percy, and Annabeth joins the fight, but is knocked out of the fight when Kronos slams her into Athena's throne.
In the end, she saves Percy and Olympus by finally realizing the prophecy's true meaning.
She convinces Percy to give Luke her knife (which was given to her by Luke when she was seven) so he can stab himself, killing himself and banishing Kronos to Tartarus yet again.
She is rewarded by the gods, who allow her to use her talents as an architect to rebuild Mount Olympus.
Percy Jackson refuses immortality because of his feelings for Annabeth.
At Camp Half-Blood in the dining hall later that day, Annabeth kisses Percy after he admits his feelings for her.
She warns him that she will never make things easy for him.
After this, they kiss underwater after eavesdropers dump them into the canoe lake.
Magnus Chase And The Gods Of Asgard
Percy appears at the end of the book when Magnus Chase learns that he needs to go somewhere called the "Ship of Dead".
He goes to ask Annabeth for tips, in which Annabeth quotes "I don't know much about the sea, but my boyfriend does.
It's time you met Percy..."
In the beginning of the book the first chapter is called "Percy Jackson Does His Level Best to Kill Me".
Annabeth and Percy give tips about the sea get kind've itchy  because Magnus sucks at everything that came to the ocean, nearly getting himself killed.
In the movie
In the movie, Alexandra Daddario plays Annabeth, a warrior at Camp Half-Blood with Percy and potential romantic interest.
In the movie trailer, Annabeth says to Percy, "I definitely have strong feelings for you.
I just haven't decided if they are positive or negative yet."
Another scene shows them leaning in, seemingly to kiss.
It was really a tease, which was revealed when she suddenly steals Percy's sword from his sheath and at the brings her own sword to his throat and says, "First rule of battle strategy, never let your opponent distract you."
In the movie, Annabeth is seen with brown, straight hair, a definite change from the book's description of her (with curly blonde hair).
She is shown in the movie with blue eyes not gray.
She does not display much love towards Luke.
A key subplot in the series is the relationship between Annabeth, Percy, and Luke.
Luke is Annabeth's hero and one of her first half-blood friends.
Annabeth likes Percy, which she hints at, but she still has feelings towards Luke.
At the end of The Last Olympian, Luke shows slight feelings for her, sort of like an older brother.
These feeling are present despite the fact that Luke and Percy are arch enemies and he has attempted to kill Percy many times.
In The Sea of Monsters, it is shown that one of her life's wishes is to save Luke from Kronos.
In the beginning of The Lightning Thief, Annabeth is shown to dislike Percy when she finds out that Percy is the hero of the prophecy.
She thinks he is weak, and is influenced by the rivalry between her mother, Athena, and Percy's father, Poseidon.
But while they are on their quest, they have to ride a truck to get to their destination.
This is the first time they actually talk.
In The Mark of Athena, Annabeth says that's when she chose to "like" him.
At the very end of The Sea of Monsters Annabeth kisses Percy on the cheek after winning the chariot race.
In The Titan's Curse, there are suggestions of some romance between Annabeth and Percy, although this is complicated by her lingering feelings towards Luke and the fact that her mother, Athena, disapproves of her "friendship" with Percy.
In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth finally expresses her feelings for Percy by kissing him good luck before vanishing using her Yankee's cap.
When Percy returns, she is highly jealous, because she knows he has been with the sad but seductive Calypso.
It is implied that Percy is trying to tell Annabeth about his feelings, but Annabeth remains distant,still due to her lingering feelings towards Luke.
In The Last Olympian, after the defeat of Kronos and the saving of Luke's soul, the romantic relationship between Percy and Annabeth is solidified.
Annabeth also states Percy looks 'cute when he's worried' when he first checks on her after she took a knife that was meant for him.
Annabeth tells Luke as he dies that she always saw him as a brother, but never loved him.
Later, she and Percy share their second kiss after she tells him that she will never, ever make things easy for him.
He describes it as if his brain felt it was melting through his body.
But nosy campers snoop on this and throw them into the camp lake.
Then comes a third kiss underwater in an air bubble made by Percy.
They are together at the end of the series.
It is hinted that they might be married one day in the future, as Annabeth said she wanted "to build something permanent," and Percy states that maybe they were "getting a good start together.”
Powers and abilities
Like other half-bloods, Annabeth has ADHD, which increases battle awareness.
Also like most other half-bloods, she has dyslexia, because her brain is 'hard-wired' from birth to read Ancient Greek.
Annabeth is trained in hand-to-hand combat during her stays at Camp Half-Blood.
Wields a dagger in battle as opposed to a sword through all of Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
She uses her intelligence in her fights.
Wants to be an architect.
Is Percy's love interest and later becomes his girlfriend.
Knowledge capabilities
Annabeth knows a lot about architecture, history, and Greek myths.
Annabeth is a master strategist.
Annabeth is extremely intelligent, wise, and clever.
Annabeth is good at arts and crafts because of her mother.
She is especially good at weaving, as revealed in “The Mark Of Athena”.
Annabeth never forgets what she had heard.
Annabeth can read faces, and is able to have a good sense of what one is thinking, as revealed in “The Mark Of Athena”.
Weapons/magical Items
A magical Yankees cap that turns her invisible, which was a gift from her mother Athena.
A celestial bronze dagger, given to her by Luke when she was 7.
Celestial bronze is a metal designed to wound immortals and monsters without injuring mortals.
It is the metal favored by many demigods for their weapons.
A drakon bone sword given to her by giant Damasen, while she was in Tartarus.
A laptop with ideas and information from Daedalus (creator of the great Maze in Crete).
B. Allison Gray praises how in Battle of the Labyrinth: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4, Riordan "successfully conveys Annabeth's emotions."
The casting for the movie has had a different reception.
On one hand, as Rama's SCREEN reports, "the one that’s been causing argument is Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth Chase...apparently some of Rama’s SCREEN readers out there did and the comments on her casting were in mixed response...Ashley thought Annasophia Robb (Race To Witch Mountain) should’ve played that role meanwhile Kara and Victoria saw Daddario as too old because apparently, the character Annabeth Chase in the book is about 12 years old but Lily thought Daddario should be given a chance to prove herself worthy and Joe said that to make this work, the movie needs to make her hot, athletic, with blond hair and grey eyes."
On the other hand, Katey Rich writes that Daddario "looks just right for that Hermione-esque role of the brainy brunette...Daddario, who has been in movies like The Hottest State and the recent Jonas Brothers concert movie, may have just signed on for a role that will take over her life, poo and bring her plenty of Emma Watson-scaled fame in the process.
I hope she's got her wizard's wand-- oh, wait, I mean mythical god powers-- ready for the challenge."

Percy Jackson and the Olympians characters
Perseus "Percy" Jackson is the main character and narrator of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series.
He is a demigod, meaning he is half-mortal and half god.
His father is Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his mother is the mortal Sally Jackson.
First introduced in The Lightning Thief as a troubled twelve-year old who finds out that he is a demigod, Percy goes on many adventures in the series to save his friends and the gods of Mount Olympus.
Percy is played by Logan Lerman in the movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
Character traits
Percy is good-natured, friendly, brave, and willing to risk his life to save his friends, strangers, and even his enemies.
He is angered by Thalia Grace because their personalities are similar, they argue even though they are good friends.
Percy has a sarcastic sense of humor and is funny in his writing.
Percy dislikes nicknames or titles being given to him, with the exception of those given by Annabeth Chase.
He always tells horses, which his father is said to have created, not to call him "boss" or "lord" whenever they talk to him but does not get annoyed when Annabeth calls him "seaweed-brain".
His fatal flaw is loyalty.
Percy, like most boys his age, has trouble talking to girls.
Athena said that Percy's fatal flaw is personal loyalty.
He will do anything to save his friends and loved ones.
Kronos uses this flaw to control him several times in the series, such as when his mother is held hostage when Grover is trapped on Polyphemus' island, and when Annabeth is kidnapped.
Perseus "Percy" Jackson is introduced as a troubled 12-year-old boy who is a student with dyslexia, which makes it hard for him to read, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), which makes it hard for him to pay attention.
He has been kicked out of every single school he has gone to.
He has just been kicked out of Yancy Academy in Upstate New York.
He has few friends at the school, his best friend being Grover Underwood, a satyr (half human, half goat) disguised as a human.
During a field trip to a museum, Percy is annoyed by the school bully, Nancy Bobofit, for intimidating Grover and in a fit of rage, accidentally summons water from a nearby fountain to pull her in, but he didn't know how he did it.
Mrs. Dodds, his pre-algebra teacher, witnesses the whole scene and tells him to follow her into the museum for a "talk."
Suddenly, she turns into the Fury Alecto, and attacks him, looking like a bat-like figure with humongous fangs.
Percy manages to destroy her using Mr. Brunner’s pen, Riptide, that transforms into a sword in his hand.
However, when Percy returns to the bus and asks his classmates, nobody remembers Mrs. Dodds because of a force known as the Mist.
The only person that may remember her was Grover, who always hesitated before he answered.
Everybody else believed her name was Mrs. Kerr.
Percy asks what just happened, and Mr. Brunner says he saw nothing and that Percy should bring his own things to write with in the future.
Percy asks his classmates about it, but they act like there was never any "Mrs. Dodds".
Percy sees that Grover is lying when he hesitates whenever Percy mentions "Mrs. Dodds".
Percy overhears Grover and Mr. Brunner talking about him later in the school year.
As he is going home on a bus with Grover, he sees three old ladies knitting a giant sock.
Grover looks really worried about them.
Percy leaves Grover at the bus stop and takes a taxi to his apartment on his own.
His mother arrives soon after he gets home and tells him that they can go to Montauk Beach for the entire weekend.
Percy is happy that something good has finally happened and packs his things and leaves.
At the beach, Percy wakes up in the middle of the night in a storm and is shocked to see Grover coming to him and his mom, telling them to leave.
Percy is confused, but his mother takes them both in the car and drives quickly away.
After hearing a growl behind them, his mom arrives at a hill and pushes both boys out of the car.
Percy sees that the thing chasing them is a Minotaur, who charges them.
Percy and his mom dodge it, but Grover is too slow and the Minotaur charges him.
Percy manages to defeat the Minotaur, but not before it dissolves Percy's mother into light and sends her to the Underworld.
Percy drags Grover up the hill to Camp Half-Blood, where Percy passes out on the doorway of the Big House.
Percy learns that Camp Half-Blood is a place for demigods like him.
He meets a future friend, Annabeth Chase.
He learns that Mr. Brunner is actually the centaur (half human, half horse) Chiron, the camp's activity director.
He also learns that the director of the camp is the god Dionysus.
He is introduced to Luke Castellan, the leader of the Hermes cabin.
Later, in a capture-the-flag game, Percy single-handed defeats Clarisse, leader of the Ares cabin, and three others when he healed his injuries in water.
This is when he learned that he is the son of Poseidon as a holographic trident appears over his head.
Soon after learning that Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen, Percy embarks on his first and eventually successful quest along with Grover and Annabeth to retrieve it.
Thalia's tree, the magical border of Camp Half-Blood, has been poisoned.
Chiron is blamed for the poisoning and is dismissed from camp; Tantalus, who comes from the Fields of Punishment and cannot have food or water, takes the job.
The only thing able to rid the tree of its poison is the Golden Fleece, which is located on the island of Polyphemus (another son of Poseidon), in the Sea of Monsters (the Bermuda Triangle).
Clarisse, the daughter of Ares and longtime enemy of Percy, is given the quest to go into the Sea of Monsters to bring back the Golden Fleece, which has healing powers for plants, animals, and humans.
Percy and Annabeth decide to go also, not just for the Golden Fleece, but for their friend Grover who is trapped in Polyphemus' cave.
Tyson, a young Cyclops whom Percy befriended at school that year, joins them on their journey.
Tyson is Poseidon's son and therefore Percy's half-brother.
As they enter the Sea of Monsters, they have to get past Scylla and Charybdis.
Instead of trying to sail in between the two, Clarisse automatically goes for Charybdis and Tyson supposedly dies in Clarisse's ship after it sinks.
After that, Percy and Annabeth journey to many dangerous islands, and Annabeth tells Percy many things about how Thalia died and she also mentions her prophecy and tells Percy that he has a choice to make when he becomes 16 years old.
Fighting their way through many other obstacles, like the Sirens and Circe's island, they join up with Clarisse, Grover, and later Tyson (who did not die), and leave with the Golden Fleece.
When they return to the mortal world, they send off Clarisse on an airplane to camp alone, and Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are kidnapped by Luke.
In a duel with him, Percy is nearly killed.
He is saved by Chiron, who is proven innocent, and his relatives, the Party Ponies.
When they return to camp the Fleece is put on the tree.
The Fleece not only revives Thalia's tree, but Thalia too.
It turns out that this was actually Kronos's plan, done so that he would have another chance to control the prophecy which governs the future of Olympus and the Olympians.
In the third book, Grover finds two demigods at a school, Bianca and Nico di Angelo.
Percy, Grover, Thalia and two of Artemis' hunters, Zoë and Bianca (who later chose to become a hunter, upsetting Nico), are sent on a quest to save Artemis, who has been kidnapped.
Percy is really going to save Annabeth, who was captured while they were saving the di Angelo's.
During the journey, Percy meets a mortal girl at Hoover Dam, named Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who can see through the Mist.
She helps him escape from skeletal warriors who were trying to attack Percy and his friends.
While warning them about the junkyard of the gods, Aphrodite, goddess of love, tells Percy there is a romantic future waiting for him with Annabeth.
Bianca is killed by a crazed robot in the junkyard of the gods while trying to get a figurine for her brother Nico.
She said it was the only figurine he was missing in his collection.
During the battle with Atlas, Zoë receives deadly injuries; she is poisoned by her old friend Ladon; her father, Atlas, makes the final strike that kills her and Atlas holds the burden of holding the sky again.
Upon entering Olympus, the Gods decide whether to kill Thalia, Percy and Bessie (the ophiotaurus) who may hold the decision to tear down Olympus according to the Great Prophecy.
Thalia becomes one of Artemis' hunters, eliminating her as a potential recipient of the Great Prophecy.
In the end, the gods decide to leave Percy alive and keep the Ophiotaurus in safety at the throne room.
Afterward, a feast is held in honor of the heroes and Athena tells Percy that she disapproves of his friendship with her daughter.
At camp, Percy tells Nico about Bianca's death; he sprints into the woods.
From then on, Nico hates Percy, blaming him for his sister's death.
Annabeth, Percy and Grover search for Nico and cannot find him.
Percy then holds the figurine of the god Bianca gave him at the junk yard.
Suddenly, he realizes who Nico's father is: Hades, lord of the dead.
In book four, the Labyrinth of Daedalus is discovered.
Camp Half-Blood is in danger of being invaded by Kronos' army by means of the Labyrinth.
Chiron sends Annabeth along with Percy, Grover, and Tyson into the Labyrinth on a quest to find Daedalus.
In this, they hope to use his knowledge to help thwart any attacks that are carried out using the giant underground maze.
They eventually find Daedalus, who has made himself a new body, and has disguised himself as the swordplay counselor.
There is a battle, as Kronos' army attacks Camp Half-Blood through the Labyrinth.
Many are injured and some are left dead.
Daedalus shows up to help along with his giant pet hellhound, Mrs. O'Leary.
Daedalus has escaped death for centuries, but gives himself over to Nico di Angelo, a son of Hades, so he can accept his punishment in the Underworld and also so he can see his son Icarus and his nephew Perdix.
Percy inherits Mrs. O'Leary; they have grown fond of each other.
Percy and Annabeth's relationship starts to take on a new edge to it.
Annabeth saves Percy several times and kisses him once because she thinks he is going to die.
She also makes a big scene in front of all the campers when she realized that Percy was alive.
In book five, Percy discovers the truth behind the Great Prophecy.
The campers find out there is a spy among them who is reporting everything to Kronos, who took over Luke's body in the fourth book.
Percy battles Kronos many times, and eventually becomes invincible from bathing in the River Styx.
A war between the Titans and Olympians ensues, one that has been in the making for much of the series.
In the end, Luke, who is also invincible from bathing in the River Styx, kills himself in order to send Kronos back to Tartarus.
Silena Beuregard turns out to be the spy.
She is a good person inside, but Luke threatens her, and they make a deal that Beckendorf will not be hurt, as she was Beckendorf's girlfriend.
Silena dies trying to kill a drakon, disguised as Clarisse, which upsets Clarisse greatly.
In the end of the book, Luke commits suicide to save the Olympians.
Annabeth admits she never loved Luke, and that she cared for him only as a brother.
She and Percy finally cement their relationship.
Percy tries to tell her about his feelings at the River Styx, but says that she is not making it easy.
She says: "I will never, ever make it easy for you Seaweed Brain.
Get used to it", then kisses him, after which the other campers throw them into the canoe lake.
Percy then creates an air bubble and they share "pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.".
Percy was played by Logan Lerman in the movie Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief.
That movie was adapted from the first book in the series, The Lightning Thief.
A movie of the second book, The Sea of Monsters was released on August 7, 2013 in the United States.
Powers/abilities
ADHD, which actually is heightened alertness that keeps half-bloods ready for battle.
Dyslexia, since his brain is hard-wired for reading Ancient Greek instead of modern languages.
In The Lightning Thief, Percy is given a magically enchanted sword called Anaklusmos (Riptide).
It is made of celestial bronze, a fictional metal which will injure immortals and monsters, but not wound mortals.
Many demigods use celestial bronze weapons.
Children of the "big three" (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) are more powerful than demigods of the other Greek gods and goddesses.
Hence, Percy has a wide range of abilities.
Percy is a naturally talented swordsman, often able to hold his own against larger, stronger, and more experienced opponents.
Percy possesses incredible physical strength.
He tore a horn off the head of the Minotaur, and was able to bear the weight of the sky, the curse of Atlas.
Percy has clairvoyant dreams, causing him to watch events in distant locations as an out-of-body experience.
This could be the work of Apollo, the God of Prophecy, because he told Percy, "How important dreams could be."
Percy has a psychic connection with his friend Grover called an empathy link.
In The Last Olympian, Percy bathes in the River Styx (like Achilles), making him nearly invulnerable except in one weak point (the small of his back) and also granting him increased skill, strength, and puts him into a frenzy in battle.
Aquatic (water) powers
Percy has a lot of powers specifically connected to the things controlled by of Poseidon: seas, horses, sea creatures, and earthquakes.
His water-related abilities tend to be stronger in sea water than in fresh water.
When standing or immersed in water, Percy gains a lot of strength, combat (fighting) skill, and speed.
Percy can control large amounts of water with great force (hydrokinesis).
For example, he can redirect rivers, create currents to push boats, or even increase surface tension to the point where it is firm enough to stand upon.
Percy can breathe underwater.
He is unharmed by water pressure of any amount, or by falling from high up into water.
When Percy is underwater, he stays dry unless he consciously (thinks about it) forces himself to become wet.
When Percy touches objects underwater, they become dry.
Percy can create seawater with no effort with things that used to be in the sea (such as petrified (solid) seashells, as in the book The Battle Of The Labyrinth)
Percy can communicate telepathically with sea animals, most of whom also obey him and treat him with respect.
Percy can communicate with equine animals (horses, zebras, pegasi, etc.),
because his father created them out of sea foam.
While at sea, Percy has perfect bearings on his exact coordinates.
Percy can control all parts of boats telekinetically, especially sails.
Percy can sense where objects are underwater.
Percy can communicate with children of Poseidon, such as Cyclopes, underwater.
Percy is very resistant to burning, and is even able to survive while immersed in magma because of the power of the ocean inside of him.
Percy can make water appear from nothing, though doing so is particularly hard on his body.
Percy can summon hurricanes, as he did in The Last Olympian, since his father is the god of the sea and storms.
Percy can release the oxygen diffused in water and force the surrounding water to recede, making an air bubble so his friends with non-hydrokenetic abilities can breathe.
Percy can control ocean currents to propel him at great force underwater, or even up into the air, as he does in his duel with Ares.
Percy can harden water (without freezing it) to form shields.
It is quite possible that he could use this skill to other purposes, combat or otherwise.
Percy can heal small cuts when on water, he also gains a burst of energy as seen in his fight with elements of the Ares cabin The Lightning Thief.
Percy can make earthquakes (as in The Battle Of The Labyrinth)
Percy can create small cyclones around his body (in the last olympian)
Percy can control not only water but other liquids too, only held back from using his power by a promise to Annabeth, his girlfriend (The House of Hades)
Percy can also sometimes control humans, because humans are 71% water.
Annabeth Chase: Throughout the  series, it is shown that they have feelings for each other ; in each book there are hints of romantic tension and flirting.
Percy and Annabeth first meet in The Lightning Thief when Percy wakes up after passing out to see Annabeth, whom he described as "pretty", spoon-feeding him nectar and ambrosia, the food of the gods.
Percy is confused and irritated by Annabeth's behavior in the beginning of The Lightning Thief, but they develop a solid friendship at the end of the novel from all they had experienced together.
In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy and Annabeth were supposed to meet up after school for lunch and a movie which Percy's mother, Sally, referred to as a "date" and teased him about it.
It is revealed in The Sea of Monsters that Percy carried a picture of Annabeth in his binder and that Annabeth had been tailing Percy with her cap of invisibility on.
In The Titan's Curse, Percy meets Aphrodite (Percy momentarily thought she resembled Annabeth), who tells him that he will have a tragic love life; incidentally, Percy meets Rachel a little while after.
At the end of the book, he nearly has a heart attack, thinking Annabeth was about to join the Hunters of Artemis.
Annabeth kisses him four times, once after winning the chariot race in The Sea of Monsters, though that was only on the cheek, again as she leaves him to fight the telekhines at Mount St. Helens in The Battle of the Labyrinth, in the dining area of Camp Half-Blood, prior to all the other campers throwing them in the canoe lake in The Last Olympian, where they share an underwater kiss.
Also in The Last Olympian when Percy and Annabeth were inspecting Athena's cabin, Percy states that "sure, she'd always been cute, but she was starting to be seriously beautiful".
When Percy goes to the River Styx to bathe, he is supposed to envision the one thing that keeps him tied to the mortal world.
He thinks of Annabeth pulling him out of the water at the canoe lake.
Annabeth is also the only person who knows Percy's vulnerable spot.
When Kronos is spotted during the battle in The Last Olympian, Percy orders a retreat, but Annabeth stays behind to help him, taking a knife that would have killed him.
At the end of The Last Olympian when Luke is dying, he asks Annabeth if she ever loved him, to which she replies that she only loved him as a brother, looking up to Percy.
In the second series, they are dating and shown to be in love.
Several times, both Annabeth and Percy say that they cannot live without the other.
They say that they love each other and kiss throughout the books.
This pairing is commonly referred to as Percabeth( per- sa- beth).
Calypso: Percy, stranded on Ogygia island after being badly burned, is nursed back to health by Calypso.
She appears to be around sixteen with almond eyes and caramel hair; Percy thinks she is more beautiful than Aphrodite (goddess of love).
Despite the fact that he never expresses love for her, Percy enjoys her company and admires her beauty and grace.
When leaving the island, he says she will always be his biggest "what if".
She says the gods allow a hero to wash up on her shore every thousand years, always someone she cannot help falling in love with and who cannot stay.
She extends him an offer to stay, which would make him immortal, saving him from the prophecy predicting his death when he turns sixteen.
However, his friends and family need his help and he chooses to leave.
