  • Can you help with chinese history?

    I have to write a paper on how the knowledge of gunpowder and its related weapons passed from China to Islamic world in the 1200s. and how the invention of the gun being a european invention is false. Okay so I have a little bit written up, but Im warning you im a horrible writer. So im looking for any help i can get on this paper.

    The exact time of the invention of gunpowder is still unknown, but it is said to be around 850 A.D. Gunpowder was originally designed by the Chinese to be an elixir that would give the user immortality. It was stated in the first experiment that, "smoke and flames result, so that [the alchemists'] hands and faces have been burnt, and even the whole house where they were working burned down." (Kallie Szczepanski) Ultimately, this discovery led to the invention of fireworks and early gunpowder weapons. These gunpowder weapons include; hand grenades, poisonous gas shells, flame throwers, and land mines. The invention of gunpowder and these gunpowder weapons were supposed to be China’s secret. However, the knowledge of gunpowder was carried down the Silk Road during the Mongol Expansion of 1200-1300. “In 1267, a European writer made reference to gunpowder, and by 1280 the first recipes for the explosive mixture were published in the west.” (Szczepanski)

  • Girlfriend left me. Can anyone help?

    Okay so my girlfriend (ex girlfriend now) told me last week that she didnt ever want to see me or talk to me again. We still had words for a few days after but then we hadnt talked for 3 days cause she told me not to talk to her. Then on the morning of the fourth day she sent me this crazy long message on facebook. But basically all it was saying was how horrible of a person I am and how she should have left me a long time ago, and basically every mistake ive made. Then at the end of the message it said dont message me back im not trying to talk. So this has me confused because im not sure if I should reply or not. Is she reaching out to me for me to reply or just rubbing it in my face that i messed up and lost her? There are things in her message that i would like to comment on because i feel like i should get my point across, but i doubt she'll care. I want her back so bad but should i just not reply and leave her alone?

    We were together for a year and a half by the way.

  • I need my girlfriend back. Help please?

    Okay well this might seem a little long but please read and try to help me out. It would really mean a lot to me.

    Okay so ive been with my girlfriend or should i say ex-girlfriend now for about a year and a half. And throughout that time ive done my fair share of messing up. But we've worked through all that and we were good. But recently I was asleep at her house and she decided to go through my phone. : / I didn't have anything like really bad in there. But what was in my texts was from two girls that my girlfriend doesn't care too much for. But one of the girls was just saying that she missed me ( ive known her forever) and the other was talking about how i came to see her, and i really just went to see her for a minute and say whats up. It doesn't help that that girl is very attractive but i only see her as a friend. So basically i had been lying saying that i wasn't friends with them just to save the fight. I definitely shouldn't have done that and I know i was the one in the wrong and im the 'liar' and i made a huge mistake. I already know that im the problem. But I cant seem to function without her. Work seems like it goes on for days and i just have to drag myself through it. I am completely in love with this girl. You really have no idea and I know your thinking well why was he lying to her. And honestly i dint know what i was thinking. I just know i messed up bad. I want to be with her and cant imagine us not being together. But as of right now were not and its about the 3rd or 4th day without her and i hate it. Ive read things that say to get her back you need to leave her alone for a few weeks but that's hard but im trying that right now. Is this the best idea? And then it says to make contact with her when the time is right. I have a feeling that if I wait a few weeks though that its just gonna be too late and that scares me. But if i do stick with this what do i say to her when i do make contact again? I just need some help so if you have any advice ill take it because i need something. Sorry this was so long but thanks for reading.

  • Teen relationship help?

    Ok well ive had this girlfriend for 15 months and its been a crazy 15 months. Its always her way or no way. And its frustrating. We fight almost all the time. But when we have our good times there amazing. And finally i just snapped. Im 17 years old but yea i was drinkin at my friends house and i got pretty drunk and kissed another girl. And i feel like **** about it, you dont have to tell me how much of an asshole i am. Now she uses that against me when anything ever happens. Which i guess she has a right to but its gotten pretty bad. Ive tried to end things before but she makes me feel bad and we end up getting back together. I am kinda on the edge of breaking up with her for good. But everytime i think about it i just think about her being with another guy, sexually and not. And that drives me crazy. That may show my teen side a lot i know. But i just need some advice. please help?
