FM's Operation Graduation

I Dr. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, would like to ask your partnership in reprofilling funds over $250m in excess, the funds would be coming via a string of selected banks in Europe and Asia.

The Funds in question were generated by me during the oil for food program in Iraq.

I have been getting scandals/ controversy in this regards, you can read more on the links below-

You would be paid 5% as your management fee. Please do not write back directly to me via my official email address. All further correspondence should be sent to my private mail box ( kofiannan4un@o2.pl ). As soon as you indicate your interest I will give further details.

Remember to treat this mail and transaction as strictly confidential.

I will await your urgent correspondence via my private mail box-

Dr.Kofi Annan.

Australian English began to diverge from British English after the foundation of the colony of 1788. By the 1820s, observers had recognised that native-born white Australians spoke with a distinctive accent and vocabulary. Since the first Australian goldrushes, in the 1850s, and the accompanying influxes of immigrants from around the world, Australian English has borrowed increasingly from external sources.
The so-called "Amercanisation" of Australian English — signified by the borrowing of words, terms and usages from American English— which began during the goldrushes, was accelerated by a massive influx of US military personnel during World War II. The large-scale importation of television programs and other massmedia content from the US, from the 1950s onwards, has also had a significant effect. As a result, for example, Australians use the word truck instead of the British lorry, and freeway is the most common word for a high-speed, grade-separated road, although motorway is also used in some regions.

However Australian English is much like the same english not a different language altogether but their slangs are different and are catching people by storm. The australian terminologies are different for different things. Their words are more conotative than denotative in nature for most of the things. for e.g an Aussie will call a fantastic thing "Ripper" whereas English or American will call it differently but these days they are all getting mixed up and all converging towards a single language ? is it?.

Some of the common slangs of Australian language.

Mate: Friend
Lolly - candy
Sheila - woman
Thongs - cheap rubber sandals (tsinelas)
Rip snorter : great, fantastic
Roo : kangaroo
She'll be right : it'll turn out okay
XXXX : pronounced Four X, brand of beer made in Queensland
Whinge : complain

What do you people say it is worth getting to know these meanings or you dont want to learn some more things?. Well frankly saying, i like some of the slangs of the australian language but i want to know what you guys think about Australian language and its usage of slang on the international level.

After the recent earthquakes in Pakistan, i heard TV opinions of different people and read articles. With them i am able to draw some intresting conclusions:

Why Earthquakes Come?

Earth releases its energy in many ways. One of its most dangerous and unpredictable way is earthquakes.

On the ground we are standing, below it are plates called tectonic plates. Every region in the earth is on some plate. Some continents have same plates, some have different. Oceans are on plates as well.These plates move and because of their motions they develop energy in them and they release it when it becomes too much either in the form of volcano or earthquake or in some other form.

Formation of Earth on Different Plates:
The World Today:



The picture above tells the formation of today's world on plates. I would say you open the picture while reading the material in this section.

The meeting point (indicated by the red lines) of different plates lie in three main categories. They are Constructive, Destructive and Conservative.

At Constructive Margins:
Where two plates are met by constructive line shown in the picture, then these two plates are going away from each other. The sea floor is spreading, allowing semi-molten rock to well up b/w the two diverging plates.For e.g, as you can see in the picture,there is a constructive meeting point b/w the Europe and North America, So the mid-Atlantic Europe and North American are being forced apart at 2 cm a year.

At Destructive Margins:
Destructive Margins occur when plates are forced together. When two continent plates collide, giant mountain ranges are thrust up. For e.g as a result of collision of Eurassian plate and Indo Plate , we see a great Himalyan Range, similarly Alps in Europe by the collision of Eurassian and African Plate. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, part of its load of crust is subducted or carried down, into the mantle beneath the more buoyant continental crust. When two oceanic plates collide, a volcanic island such as Marianas Islands in Pacific is formed. Due to collision of plates , earthquakes can occur here, e.g Pakistan's recent quake that was felt in India because of the same reason that we both share the destructive meeting point of plates of Eurassian and Indo-Australian Plate.

At Conservative Margins:
Here no new crust is generated neither destroyed but there can be disastrous earthquake. They take place by the sliding of the plates together. If you see the picture again what line is going through possibly Iran and Pakistan...its conservative line. e.g Iran disastrous earthquake that killed thousands of people.

World 130 Millions Year Ago:

The picture below shows the world 130 millions year before. Now isnt that amazing how the world changed and we have a completely different world today, thats because of the movement of the plates. If you remember the text above, i wrote north america and europe are seperating at 2cm/year speed. See this picture below , how they were 130 million year before. Now, they are apart at quite a considerable distance between them. So its the movement of the plates that should be taken seriously. We will see how the world will be in 250 Million years from now in next section.



World 250 Millions Years From Now:

Even now Africa is breaking up; the Mediterranean is closing; Western and Eastern Californica are sailing past each other. The earth's tectonic process continue inexorably, and by computer plotting from exisiting trends it is possible to predict the future and below is the future.



See above where the America, Australia, India, Pakistan, Africa are, they are just because of the movement of the plates. Todays world will be so different tomorrow.

Prediction of Earthquakes:

Human Way:

• The most promising research on prediction of earthquake is on waves that are generated at the time of earthquake. There are two types of waves that are generated at the time of quake. One is P-Wave (Primary Wave) and the other is S-Wave (Secondary Wave). P-Wave are shock waves that travel like a bellow. S-Wave is the wave that is generated afterwards and cause ripple up and down. Research suggests that the speed at which the rock transmits P waves changes before the an earthquake strikes.

• The P-Waves and S-Waves travel in direction that form a right angle triangle. The ratio of P-Wave and S-Wave is in b/w 1.24-1.34. However when an earthquake comes , this ratio changes to a greater extent.

• Scientists have also studied the length of time between major earthquake episodes. Violent earthquake sometime come in cycles at plate edges. Large earthquakes are likely to occur where they have happened 100 years or more ago. High risk area when this research was being done were told "Chile, California, Taiwan , Sumatra and Caribbean". So now we know where Tsunami hit, at the high risk area of Taiwan and Sumatra which the scientist predicted way back.
