Global warming article

Global warming
If you will imagine a world with plenty of heat do to global warming; you need not Look far, we see it's affects on a daily basis. Global warming actually affects more than just simply heat and your comfort level. One of the many issues applies to is the polar ice caps, when these caps melt they release cold freshwater into the ocean. Simply put, the world relies on a system called the trans-Atlantic conveyor system, which circulates the oceans. All the oceans are connected by underwater systems that work in a conveyor system of hot and cold, hot rises and cold subsides; a lot like air. The oceans needs a balance of hot and cold, what this does is move oxygen to lower levels of the ocean and carbon dioxide out of these lower levels, On top of that this system circulates the earth's water to aid in the water cycle and weather patterns. If you haven't connected the dots yet then bluntly puts melting ice is cold the ocean is a balance of hot and cold, adding a lots of cold at once will upset this balance thus one of the multiple, or all of the multiple things will happen. One result is weather pattern changes, this could be mass hurricanes and destruction or simply a stop in weather. Another issue is all this added water will cause a rise in sea levels, as we know most of civilization is coastal based this will be disastrous for many economies and cause a economic depression. Another issue is the water systems will stop cerculating. The stop in this system will cause fish to die out and more carbon consuming bacteria to be present which will kill of most if not all aquatic life replacing it with bacteria that excretes a harmful toxic substance. If that happens, we'll simply put; there will be little to no oceanic organisms which in turn will cause a crash in the fishing industry; which in turn will cost more economic problems and a even a bigger hunger crisis.
So hopefully at this point you're wondering how can I stop this? Well you sadly can't. To stop this outcome will rely on a global solution and based on human nature; we'll not abandon our cozy lives and petty differences to create a better future for us all. To elaborate we will need a source of clean energy ironically a plausible candidate will be the sun, now with that said why isn't it happening you may ask, well the answer is simply oil money and are dependence on it. we won't abandon something such as oil due to our addiction to it. basically nothing will get done until it's too late and change is forced apon us. But on the plus side we can peacefully protest changed and not wait until it's too late, we can work together to make things right if only we try. So with all that said please save your world, you with all of us together can make this world worth saving.

skyrim review article

skyrim review
Skyrim is an open world RPG set in ancient Nordic time. The games story is basically thus, you are dragon born, you possess the soul of a Dragon; thus, you can perform amazing feats that only a dragon born can do. This element takes affect on being able to eat a dragon soul and use it to power up your Dragon shouts. The story though for the game follows two story lines and countless side quests. The story is that dragons have returned and you must find out why, and hopefully stop it; the second story is there is a civil war between the empire and the nords; you must choose a side and end the war.
customizability is limitless, you do what you want when you want, your race is up to you, your class, your play style, everything is how you want it to be. graphic wise the game is wonderful, NPC's are intelligent and have "life" they Love, work, play, and do anything a typical ancient Nord would, they are very life like. The stories, however are short but well developed and plentiful. Skyrim easily is a 300 hour plus game that will have you playing to the very end. Skyrim is easily a five star game and very deserving of its game of the year status. Skyrim's flaws are manageable, some bugs and slight glitches, they simply are expected in a large game that has no real "outline," simply put you can start at the beginning and end at the end, or vice versa, or any combination in between; obviously there will be slight bugs.
All in all it is a wonderful game that should be played by all RPG fans, or anyone who likes a good adventure: bottom line rent the game see how it goes for you,  if you like it then obviously  buy it.

Skyrim hits article

Skyrim hits
To have a successful Skyrim play through you should plan ahead, pick your play style ahead of time to maximize on its components, pick a race that can easily take to these play style choices. For instance if you wish to be a mage you would want to go through as a Mage like race; a dark elf or a high elf. Also when leveling you should spend skill points on productive things to your class or race; basically plan ahead. Once in the game it's to your benefit to go dungeon diving, you will find plenty of rare items and things to sell. As a side note though if you wish to be ahead early on I would suggest going to Downstar, once there head to the iron mine before entering you will see a tree in front of the tree, look down there's an invisible chest underground. This is the traveling kajits inventory, take what you want it's now yours. To reset the inventory simply find the Kajit and wait two days, the talk to her and find the box again, it is now refilled. doing this exploit will level your speech,  potion making, smithing, and enchanting. All in all have fun the game is large and enjoyable.

SD Final idea- magazine

I will create the magazine from my first project idea.
So far I have worked on my outline and my general topic ideas, I haven't developed on specific elements yet due to that I haven't heard if my idea has fully been approved of, when it's fully approved I will develop my ideas and work on more specific elements to the project.
Recommendations are to research Ratio of articles to advertisement, proper layout, to use in Design for the magazine, and to make the magazine 40-50 pages: using this information I will begin to work on my specific articles, and research the proper elements for my magazine.
