1) On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, killing over 2,400 Americans and pulling the United States into World War II.
2) During the attack, Chief Petty Officer John Finn single-handedly fought off Japanese planes, bringing one down and receiving injuries, for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
3) The document argues that being ignorant of world events can have costs, as evidenced by the commanders at Pearl Harbor who were unaware of threats and unprepared for the attack, and urges readers to stay informed about current geopolitical situations to spiritually and mentally prepare for biblical prophecies of the end times.
On September 11, 2001, four commercial airliners were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, a third hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C., and the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and led by hijacker Mohamed Atta on behalf of al-Qaeda. Every year on September 11th, Americans gather to commemorate and honor those who lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
The document summarizes and analyzes the graphic novel adaptation of The 9/11 Commission Report titled "The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Depiction" by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon. The summary highlights that the graphic novel closely follows the original report, capturing the fear and confusion of 9/11 as well as exposing the government's failure to prevent the attacks despite warnings. Several panels are discussed in detail for how they illustrate key events and reactions accurately while maintaining a respectful tone. The analysis praises the work for making this important history more accessible and raising questions about what the government knew but did not share with the public.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the US president during WWII for 12 years. [1] To pay for the war, taxes were raised and weapons became cheaper. [2] Roosevelt worked with Churchill and Stalin to plan for the post-war world, including pressing for China's admission to allied councils and liberation of international trade. [3] In a December 1941 speech to Congress, Roosevelt asked for a declaration of war against Japan in response to Japan's attacks on US territories and naval forces at Pearl Harbor.

The document discusses the official story of 9/11 and presents evidence from credible experts and officials who question or dispute this story. It argues that the official story relies heavily on "coincidence theory" to explain observations that appear coordinated, rather than considering conspiracy theories. Many experts from diverse backgrounds such as military, intelligence, and political realms are quoted expressing doubts about the 9/11 Commission report and calling for further investigation.
The document provides information about the events of 9/11 and questions surrounding the official story. It notes the timeline of the hijacked plane crashes into the WTC towers and Pentagon. It questions where key government officials like Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld were that morning and their responses. It references warnings to the intelligence community about Bin Laden's plans and a memo suggesting al Qaeda would hijack planes.
Three attackers arrived by taxi at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport and attempted to pass through security. Two men opened fire indiscriminately while the third detonated an explosive vest. A total of 41 people were killed and 239 injured in the coordinated attack. Survivors described scenes of carnage as victims were gunned down. One attacker was shot by a heroic police officer but subsequently detonated his suicide vest. The Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the attack.
On September 11, 2001, four commercial airplanes were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists and deliberately crashed into buildings, killing nearly 3,000 people. Two planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.
On December 7, 1941, Japanese forces launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The first wave of attacks began around 8:00 am local time, as Japanese planes bombed American battleships and military installations. Over 2,400 Americans were killed and 1,178 were wounded in the two-wave attack. The following day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed Congress and called for a formal declaration of war against Japan, saying the attack was "a date which will live in infamy."
The document profiles several heroes who lost their lives on September 11th and in the aftermath, including Clark who urged hundreds to evacuate the South Tower, Avery who coordinated relief efforts at Ground Zero, and Burnett who called his wife from Flight 93 to pledge that they would "do something". It also includes excerpts from poems about heroes and sacrifice, including from Beowulf about a hero embarking on the seas with a hoard of treasures, and a quote from John Donne about how the death of any person diminishes us all.
President Roosevelt addresses Congress to inform them that the United States was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. He states that Japan has undertaken a surprise offensive across the Pacific region, attacking Hong Kong, Guam, the Philippines, Wake Island, and Midway Island in addition to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt asserts that Congress and the American people will make sure this type of treachery does not endanger the United States again and that hostilities now exist, with the nation's people, territory, and interests in grave danger.
This document is a newspaper from September 11, 2011 that includes various articles and information related to the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The main articles summarize memorial events planned for the anniversary at sites impacted by the attacks, including the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. It also profiles a Vicksburg engineer, Robert Hall, whose work at the Army Corps of Engineers developing building supports and materials is credited with preventing more extensive damage and loss of life at the Pentagon on 9/11.
The Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The attack consisted of two waves of aircraft targeting American battleships and aircraft. Over 2,300 Americans were killed and many ships and aircraft were destroyed. The attack crippled the US Pacific fleet and forced America's entry into World War 2. Japan aimed to take out the US Pacific forces in a bold opening move to further their expansion across the Pacific. The attack had a huge impact and remains one of the most infamous events in modern history.
The Green Beret Guides to Great Disasters cover 7 disasters in each, examining the 7 cascade events that led to each and what lessons can be learned to prevent similar ones in the future.
Two British-born IS fighters, Reyaad Khan and Ruhul Amin, were killed in a drone strike in Raqqa, Syria authorized by the British defense secretary and conducted by the UK independently. This was the first known drone strike by the UK against its own citizens and conducted without parliamentary approval. The prime minister stated it was an act of self-defense as Khan was plotting attacks in the UK, including disrupting a commemoration service. While some leaders supported the strike, others called for greater transparency and independent review of the legal justification.
The document raises several questions about inconsistencies and lack of evidence in the official reports of the 9/11 attacks. It notes that Flight 77 disappeared from radar for 11 minutes before hitting the Pentagon, and that little plane debris was found given the size of the aircraft. It also questions why video evidence from surveillance cameras at the Pentagon has not been released. The document further suggests that intelligence agencies may have had warnings of an impending attack that were ignored.
- The document argues that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job by the U.S. government, not carried out by Al-Qaeda. It provides various evidence to support this, including that the WTC towers collapsed too quickly and at near free-fall speed like a controlled demolition, that Flight 93 may not have crashed in Shanksville, and that the damage at the Pentagon was inconsistent with an airplane crash. The evidence presented aims to cast doubt on the official narrative and suggest covert government involvement.
Henry Lewis Stimson was an American statesman who served as Secretary of War under Republican presidents and Secretary of State under a Republican president. As Secretary of State, he articulated the Stimson Doctrine in 1931, which announced American opposition to Japanese expansion in Asia and said the US would not recognize territorial gains made through illegal aggression. The Stimson Doctrine supported the idea that legal rights cannot be obtained through illegal actions like using force. NATO eventually took on a leading role in Afghanistan beginning in 2003 to train Afghan security forces after the US invasion in response to 9/11, transferring full security responsibility to Afghanistan in 2014. The US also invaded Iraq in 2003 over issues related to weapons of mass destruction, though weapons inspectors said cooperation was

The document discusses various news coverage before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. Some coverage was more effective in conveying the severity of the situation, such as articles highlighting the vulnerability of the levee system and potential for catastrophic flooding. Other coverage was less effective, downplaying the risks and failing to report on rising flood waters and broken levees as the storm hit. The document analyzes differences in how various media sources covered the unfolding disaster.

English Verbs + Prepositions DictionaryAlicia Garcia
Why study verbs + prepositions?
Prepositions are one of the most difficult things to master in the English language. They provide the “links” between the main words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives), but many English students have a hard time knowing which preposition to use in each situation.
How the world's first subway system was built Alicia Garcia
It was the dawn of 1863, and London's not-yet-opened subway system — the first of its kind in the world — had the city in an uproar. Most people thought the project, which cost more than 100 million dollars in today's money, would never work. So how did they do it? Christian Wolmar explains how the London Underground was built at a time when no one had built a railway under a city before.
A CNN investigation uncovered evidence of widespread child labor being used in cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which produces about half of the world's cobalt. Cobalt is an essential element used in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies. Reporters witnessed and filmed children as young as 9 years old doing dangerous mining work. They also found mining officials trying to hide the use of child labor and no verification of the origin of cobalt as it enters the international supply chain. No electric car manufacturers can guarantee that their products are completely free of cobalt mined by children, according to the report.
This document summarizes a CNN news segment that covered two topics: 1) The 2015 Iran nuclear deal and recent controversy over it, with Israel providing evidence that Iran lied about suspending its nuclear program. The US must decide by May 12th whether to continue lifting sanctions on Iran. 2) The issue of immigration in the US and a caravan of 100 Central American migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border, which faces opposition from some. The document provides background on both of these complex and long-debated issues.
Lauren Sallan explains that most fish have evolved streamlined bodies and fins that allow for efficient swimming. Flying fish can glide long distances while sailfish can swim over 100 km/hr due to bodies adapted for undulating movement powered by the tail and fins. Studying fish biomechanics through flow tanks and models provides insights into diverse swimming modes and how evolution has optimized fish shapes for aquatic locomotion over 500 million years.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
1. SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 CNN 10
Hurricane Irma Makes Landfall in the Continental U.S.; Earthquake Devastates Mexico; The
Terrorist Attacks of September 11,2001
Aired September 11, 2017 - 00:04:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL
FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1709/11/sn.01.html
CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: We welcome our viewers worldwide to this
Monday, September 11th edition of CNN 10. My name is Carl Azuz. We`re glad
you’re watching.
Our coverage today centers on two natural disasters and the anniversary of a
terrorist attack that changed a nation.
First, Hurricane Irma has made landfall in the United States. It came ashore
(to or onto the shore) yesterday morning in Cudjoe Key, off the southern tip
(end) of the state of Florida. Irma was a category four hurricane at that time
with 130 mile- per-hour winds, capable of catastrophic damage.
And unlike the forecast last week, which predicted the storm would hit Miami
directly and then move north along the east coast, right through the center
of Florida, Irma shifted a little to the west over the weekend. And last night,
it was making its way up the west coast of Florida.
The cone you see here indicates how the hurricane could still move east or
further west. Either way, the cities of Naples, Fort Myers and Tampa were
in its path. Tampa`s mayor said his biggest concern was the storm surge
(oleaje).
Here`s what that looks like. It`s a rise in sea levels blown inland by a
hurricane and Irma was forecast to hit Tampa during high tide, which could
make it worse.
As Florida and George brace (prepare [for a shock]) for Irma`s impact,
2. people in the Caribbean island nation of Cuba were taking stock of (assessing,
evaluating) the damage after the storm landed there Friday. It was a
category five hurricane then. Throughout the Caribbean, Irma killed at least
24 people as it passed and some areas saw complete destruction.
With some uncertainty about where exactly Irma was going and how much
damage it would do, the story is just beginning for the Continental U.S. where
Irma`s intensity is being felt.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CHRIS CUOMO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We`re safe where we are here in
terms of what might come on us. It may not look that way, but it is.
Otherwise, I wouldn`t be here. But these gusts (ráfagas), this is intense what
is coming down these corridors right now. And you can see it behind me. And
the pictures tell the story.
ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You can see the water. You can`t
even see 50 yards anymore to our right now. The amount of water that`s
being pushed along the street and filling up here, and we`re in one of -- we
understand, one of the higher areas here in downtown Naples. The water in
other parts of the neighborhoods that we were able to survey this morning
and throughout the day yesterday have to be incredibly dangerous situation.
The good news is we reported over the last days that many of the people here
in Naples evacuated this area. We didn`t see but a handful of people out and
about (busy, active) throughout the day yesterday. So that is a good sign.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AZUZ: Moving to another coast now. Rescuers are scouring (searching all
over) homes in southern Mexico. They`re looking for survivors after a
tremendous earthquake struck about 74 miles offshore on Thursday night.
With a magnitude of 8.1, the tremor (small earthquake) was capable of
destroying entire towns.
On average, the world only sees about one quake this powerful every year.
Mexico hasn`t had a tremor like this for a century. It struck an impoverished
3. area. There were multiple aftershocks. And government officials say it killed
dozens of people. Many in the region were asleep when the quake struck near
midnight.
It was felt hundreds of miles away, in places like Mexico City, in Guatemala
City, and it generated a tsunami, a massive ocean wave that measured almost
six feet in one area. Mexico`s military and police are helping the search for
survivors and distribution of medical supplies.
Memorial ceremonies are being held across America today, 16 years after the
worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Americans are honoring the thousands
who were killed and the police, firefighters and other rescuers who died
trying to save them.
The assault was carried out by the al Qaeda terrorist group, a radical Islamic
organization based in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Nineteen al Qaeda members
hijacked (seized control over) four U.S. passenger planes on September 11,
2001. They crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers, the skyscraper
that formed the World Trade Center in New York City, both of the massive
buildings collapsed soon afterward.
A third plane was crashed in Washington, D.C. It hit the Pentagon. The
headquarters of the U.S. Defense Department and a fourth flight crashed
into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, reportedly after its passengers and
crew tried to take back control of the plane.
Two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven people were killed in the
September 11th attacks, and just over a week later, U.S. President George W.
Bush declared a war on terror.
The southeast Asian country of Afghanistan was giving al Qaeda a place to live
and train at that time. And on October 7, 2001, after Afghanistan`s Taliban
rulers refused to turn over (deliver) al Qaeda`s leader to the United States.
America led attacks against targets in Afghanistan. The conflict
there continues today.
There are many Americans who clearly remember the horrors of the
September 11th attacks. In this look back, we`re bringing you the perspective
4. of a journalist whose first on-air assignment for CNN was to cover them.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BRIAN STELTER, CNN SENIOR MEDIA CORRESPONDENT: And this is one
of the most memorable shots (photos) from that day. This is Aaron Brown in a
roof of CNN`s old bureau in midtown Manhattan. Everyone has a 9/11 story.
Mine starts with hearing the words what channel is CNN on. We turned on the
television and never turned it off.
Aaron Brown helped me and so many other people feel a little less afraid that
day. He anchored (hosted a news programme) all the way until midnight, until
1:00 in the morning and he was never even supposed to be on that air that day
at all.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
AARON BROWN, FORMER CNN ANCHOR: There has just been a huge,
explosion. We can see billowing (swelling, expanding) smoke rising. And I
can`t -- I`ll tell you that I can`t see that second tower. And we see this
extraordinarily and frightening scene behind us of the second tower now just
encased (covered) in smoke.
What is behind it, I cannot tell you. But just look at that. That is about as
frightening a scene as you will ever see.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
STELTER: You must have known through that smoke there was nothing there,
but you couldn`t see it yet with your own eyes.
BROWN: I felt in that moment profoundly stupid.
STELTER: Why?
BROWN: I -- I will tell you, because -- I will tell you that a million things had
been running through my mind about what might happen. About the effect of a
jet plane hitting people above where the impact was, what might be going on in
5. those buildings, and it just never occurred to me they would come down.
And I thought -- it`s the only time I thought maybe you just don`t have what
it takes to do a story like this, because it just had never occurred to me.
STELTER: Let me look at one other moment. This is the second tower falling.
When you did seem more prepared for what we were seeing.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BROWN: There is a large fire at the Pentagon. The Pentagon has been
evacuated. And there, as you can see, perhaps, the second tower, the front
tower, the top portion of which is collapsing.
Good Lord. There are no words.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
STELTER: Silence is what you used in that moment. When you see it now, what
stands out (is noticeable) to you?
BROWN: First of all, from the moment the first tower fell, there was a clock
ticking. And it was ticking in my head, it was ticking in the heads of hundreds
of millions of people in America and a billion people around the world who were
watching it because if the first tower fell, the second one was going to fall,
too.
In that in that moment there were men, mostly men, firemen and policemen,
who were running into that building that was collapsing, and knowing that they
were never going to come out.
And I think when that building fell, I understood better than at any other
point in my life, before or since, what the word hero meant. It`s not that we
didn`t try to tell that story great. It`s that the story itself is too great to
tell.
STELTER: We`re at the point now where this really is history.
6. BROWN: Yes. It was something that I was fortunate professionally to do, and
painful as an American to live through. It`s a weird (strange, odd)
contradiction that journalists live with.
STELTER: Right.
BROWN: The ambivalence of, on the one hand, loving the big story, and on the
other hand, hating the fact that that story is happening.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
