Q&A: Someone told me. Is this true?

May 1, 2012 / / 5 Comments

Question by : Someone told me. Is this true?
the US and its allies(UK,Australia,S.Korea,Japan,Canada… and the others) got into a war with China and its Allies(Russia,North Korea, and Vietnam). Now in this their are know nuclear weapons, or WMDs. Russia would split into(a side with China and a side with NATO), The war would be in Asia and Europe, the war would be at a stalemate, and both sides would put up mass AA batteries, large minefields and Pill Boxes, Anti-tank systems that Trench warfare would return and mass slaughter would come back, tactics would be back to charges and being mowed down. The Trenches would be more dangerous with mass aircraft falling from the skies(both sides would stop using aircraft for a while). Morale and shell-shock would be high for both sides, with a never-ending war, fought in an unconventional way, with conventional weapons. Both sides only gaining a few yards after months of fighting. What do you think of this Scenario?

And

The US CIA and secret service subvert the economies of China and Russia with counterfeit money. Israel attacks the nuclear sites in Iran
without US permission to fly over Iraq instead they secretly get Saudi Arabia to allow them to fly over their space. Iran turns Hezbollah towards the Jewish homeland and they unleash a mass of rocket propelled bombs in a guerrilla fashion raking havoc all over proper Israel. Iran sends its air force to bomb Israel and is totally outclassed and none of its planes return. Israeli leaders threaten nuclear attack against any nation that sets foot on Israeli soil, sends missiles into Israel territory, or aids another nation that does so, including Russia and China, Israel loses a lot of planes, but gets a lot of bda and its all good the bunker busters are working. Iran begins to mass troops in Syria with the support of southern Iraq leader AL Sadr, Israel aware of the buildup prepares its nuclear neutron cruise missiles and scatters its nuclear bomber fleet, at this stage the US nuclear submarines on full alert with all assets focused on Iran and Russia. North Korean leader dies, son is ceremonially installed and immediately attacks south Korea. Unable to defend Seoul the western leaders agree that Pyongyang must be eliminated and the north Korean military led out into the open and destroyed also, all with nukes and so we begin, as
china views unwelcome a nuclear disaster and human refugee on its southern border a new capitalist united Korea is too much so china
nukes south Korea and Tokyo and threatens the Us to stay out of Asia permanently, forces surround Israel, and as they move in for the coup DE grace, Israel sends dozens of nuclear missiles out and Moscow is destroyed along with several large Russian cities and Iranian Syrian also completely wiped out, Us sends a shock wave over china that kills every living human and animal on the continent, weapons of mass destruction take on new meaning as Russia goes to retaliate all their missiles are electronically jammed and cant be used, Russian aircraft are being shot out of the sky but some get through and western cites are nuked including tel av iv London new york, and Us decides to eliminate Russia also with a weapon of mass destruction, its Armageddon. life as we know it is never the same again.

Help paraphrasing a Paragraph?

April 30, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Question by Jack L: Help paraphrasing a Paragraph?
I need some help paraphrasing a paragraph that I want to use in my essay. I do not just want to copy and past it because that would be considered plagiarism, but my teacher said it is okay if we paraphrase it. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

The Three Gorges Dam is to be located on the Yangtze River near 
the city of Yichang in China. China is one of the worlds worst hit flood areas. 
The Yangtze River is the longest river in China, and it is very irregular and frequently floods the surrounding lands killing 
thousands of people and disrupting the community’s way of life. 
Due to this issue, the government had to crate a way to calm the river. 
The building of the three gorges dams was the solution. The dam comes with advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that it will boost Chinas hydroelectric project. The disadvantages are mostly environmental based. The natural beauty of the area will be lost, as it will 
be cleared to make way for the dam. The dam will be built at an 
enormous cost and it will result in over 2 million people being 
relocated to new lands.

Question by : can you give me your opinion about this?
From sea otters to blue whales, marine mammals are under stress from climate change, ocean acidification, hunting and other threats. Researchers have identified 20 important sites around the world where they say conservation efforts should concentrate.

Marine mammals are widely distributed in the oceans and some freshwater locations, but 11 of the conservation sites are home to creatures found nowhere else, according to the study led by Sandra Pompa of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

Researchers dubbed those sites “irreplaceable” and added that the nine others selected include representatives of 84 percent of all marine mammals.

Currently the most endangered marine mammal is the vaquita, a porpoise that lives in the northern section of the Gulf of California, Pompa said.

The 11 sites deemed irreplaceable were the Hawaiian Islands, Galapagos Islands, Amazon River, San Felix and Juan Fernandez Islands off the coast of Chile, Mediterranean Sea, Caspian Sea, Lake Baikal in Russia, Yangtze River, Indus River, Ganges River and the Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean.

In addition, the nine sites picked for their species richness were along the coasts of Baja California, much of the eastern coast of the Americas (the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and including coastal areas of Cuba, Hispaniola, Colombia and Venezuela), Peru, Argentina, Northwestern Africa, South Africa, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

The findings in the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, will be valuable as a conservation tool for organizations and governments that want to focus on endangered species, Pompa said.

At least three species – the Caribbean monk seal, Atlantic gray whale and Steller’s sea cow – became extinct because of hunting for their fur, blubber and meat during the 19th and 20th centuries, the researchers noted. The most recent extinction, declared in 2008, was the baiji, a type of porpoise, from the Yangtze River in China.
