    Hydraulic fracking is the method of extracting gas from sediments by injecting the area with a mixture of water, sand and other chemicals to release methane gas. Another source of fuel is the mining of coal. Unlike fracking, coal mining requires labor that is both physically demanding and hazardous. Mining for coal also requires a larger surface area and therefore could have a larger negative impact on the environment. The burning of coal contributes more CO2 emissions than the burning of natural gas derived from fracking. This combined with other statistics may make it seem as if this “natural” gas has little detrimental effects to nature. However, increasing research has brought to light various hazards of fracking for natural gas can cause.…

    The Ottoman Empire started in the thirteenth century in 1299. Lasting for more than 600 years, it is considered one of the most long-lasting empires ever in history. Before the Empire was officially established, the Turks were originally nomads, migrating about from place to place following a traditional route seeking for food and shelter. The Empire was then established, and the Ottoman Empire was named after Otman (Osman Ghazi). They hired men known as "mercenaries" to battle the Mongols which was led by Khan. Osman's empire expanded quickly and significantly throughout the world, because of the ghazis. The term ghazi means a brave warrior. These people are willing to give their full strength expanding the great empire. This has led to the empire conquer southeast Europe, western Asia, and north Africa, however the expansion came to a halt for a while. It is considered that in Islam, it is wrong to conquer Islamic lands and fight Muslims, so the Ottomans have decided to migrate to Christain lands. One of these Christian lands, also one of the greatest empires in history was the Byzantine. The Ottomans succesfully conquered it, and this was the start of a great Ottoman Empire.…

    Tomas "Tommy" Prince was born on October 25, 2925 at the Brokenhead reservation in Canterbury, Manitoba, Canada. As a young boy, Prince developed exceptional skills for tracking, hunting, and marksmanship. Naturally, he had no problem meeting the requirements for recruiments for recruitment with the outbreak of WW2. Originally, Prince volunteered for a parachute unit called the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. A new special force had just started recruiting from the st CPB, so Prince immediately jumped at the opportunity. Tommy Prince had just joined the 1st Special Service Force, aka the Devil's Brigade. He was trained in stealth tactics, amphibious warfare, mountain warfare, rock climbing, hand-to-hand combat and explosives. He became a scout. In Italy on February 8th, 1944, Prince was sent far behind enemy lines to report on German positions. He positioned himself in an abandoned farmhouse and started sending information on German positions back to his force. Ally and German artillery fire became heavy as a result of Prince's work, until a shell hit the telephone wire connecting Prince to the force. Prince dressed up as a farmer, grabbed a hoe, and pretended to be weeding his crops while moving towards the break in the line. When he reached it, he knelt down as if tiring his shoe and connected the wires together. Prince got up, shook his fist at the German and Allies, and headed back to the farmhouse to continue his reports. Over the next 24 hours, four German batteries were destroyed thanks to him. HE was awarded the Military Medal. On September 1, Prince and a Private were sent behind German lines to scout their positions. On their way back to report their findings, they came across a squad of French partisans fighting with some Germans. They started sniping the Germans until they left, then went down to talk to the French commander. When the commander asked where Prince's company was, he pointed to the Private. The leader was surprised, and said he thought…
