  • How can you personally prepare and respond to an oil spill?

    Just pretend you live by a sea where they are drilling oil in, such as the Gulf of Mexico. Is there any precaution you should take if so you live there, in case of an oil spill happening?

    And if say an oil spill did happen nearby what would you do after.

    Do you do nothing and carry on with your normal lives or

    do you move right away from the coast as much as possible or

    should you go and help out with the clean up.

    And also are there any official guidelines you should follow in case of an oil spill (like ones like the Deepwater Horizon or Exxon Valdez).

  • is this a good translation?

    so anyways our english teacher told us as a extra task for homework: we had to translate a 10(or more) line speach from the play we are studying: a midsummer night's dream into 'modern english'. i picked a random one from the book. It went like this:

    Helena: Good Hermia, do not be so bitter me.

    I evermore did love you, Hermia,

    Did ever keep your counsels, never wronged you;

    Save that, in love unto Demetrius,

    I told him of your stealth unto this wood.

    He followed you; for love I followed him;

    But he hath chid me hence and threatened me

    To strike me, spurn me, nay, to kill me too.

    And now, so you will let me quiet go,

    To Athens will I bear my folly back,

    And follow you no further. Let me go.

    You see how simple and how fond I am.

    and with my best translation skills i translated it to this:

    Helena: Hermia, do not feel so sorry about me,

    I always have loved you, Hermia,

    Your decisions has never let you make a mistake,

    With all that, Demetrius managed to fall in love with you,

    I told him (Demetrius) of your secret escape into this wood.

    That’s why he followed you; and because I loved him, I followed him as well;

    But he keeps on trying to tell me to go away,

    By threatening me in many different ways.

    And now you will let me quietly go,

    To Athens where I have to live with the act of stupidity I have caused,

    So now I won’t follow you. Let me go.

    See it is very simple. Can you see how fond I am now?

    I was just wondering if it is good enough and 'modern' enough. translating stuff is one the weaknesses i have. and could you also help me by translating it back and giving me some advice.

    thanks for your time.

  • Why is this keeping on happening to me?

    ok usually on a monday mourning i have physical education at school. Usually we take like a 400-800 m run. But when ever i finish the run i vomit. i don't know why. it's never happened to me before. i remember last year i can run 2km non stop(and without vomiting afterwards) but now i can't even run 400m without vomiting.

    Is it because i am not used to running in the mourning's (i'd never had PE in mourning's), is it because i suddenly exercised after the summer holidays(i am australian you see) where i didn't exercises at all

    Though it seems like it only happens on Monday mourning's.

    So please help i want to stop this (and go back to normal)

    Also after i vomited i usually feel better and go back to normal and i vomit usually a few minutes after i finish the run. so it slowly builds up and then i vomit

  • am i having the right book?

    recently i got out a brand new called "Brisingr". although the book is different from the other 2 books i have in the series: "Eragon" and Eldest".

    first of all it is not a Corji book. the others are. although it still belongs to random house group and it is printed/published by Doubleday. but the others were published by Alfred A. Knopf. but arccording to wikipedia "brisingr" are published by Alfred A. Knopf.

    whats more is that i didnt bought it from a book shop but a shop that sells nearly everything.

    even the barcode area is different and the website given is differnet. on the end it says .au.com could it mean it is differnet because it is a different country.

    is it a forgery or something. have anyone has the same book but different description. please answer!

    (the cover is the same)
