The Fall Of The Roman Empire

Page 176 (Question #1, 3, 4, 5)

1) The economy soon suffered from inflation, in which there is a drastic drop in the value of of money coupled with a rise in prices. Mercenaries were recruited by the Roman government because the Roman Army became less disciplined and less loyal. Diocletian was a strong-willed army leader who became emperor and tried to slow the decline of the Empire. Constantinople was the new capital of the Empire and was located in the East. Attila was the first chieftain of the Huns in which he conquered the west of the Roman Empire.

3) The main internal causes of the empire's decline was that the Roman Army became less disciplined and loyal and the inflation.

4) Diocletian succeeded in preserving the Empire by dividing the Empire up and creating a large army and fixing the inflation problems.

5) So many Germanic tribes began invading the Roman Empire because a fierce group Mongol nomads moved into the region and began destroying all in their path, in which the Germanic people fled to Roman land.

So Mr. Schick's Apparently Pregnant

I'm concerned. Someone please help. I'm no doctor, but Mr. Schick has an umbilical hernia, which sounds painful and really concerning to me at least. Belle had asked if he was pregnant, so now this is going to be joke. If he actually is pregnant, I was to know why I was lied too. I thought males couldn't be pregnant. I don't want to get pregnant. This all concerns me so here's the actual definition of an umbilical hernia: An  umbilical hernia  is a health condition where the  abdominal wall  behind the  navel  is damaged.

The bulge can often be pressed back through the hole in the abdominal wall, and may "pop out" when coughing or otherwise acting to increase  intra-abdominal pressure . Treatment is surgical, and surgery may be performed for cosmetic as well as health-related reasons...

Presentation Day #1

Today we had shortened mods because we had a mental health assembly. So, with the class only being forty-five minutes long, we only got through one presentation. It took ten minutes to get prepared to start presenting and then ten minutes to get the first project setup and ready to go. I thought that their project was pretty good. I just didn't wanna eat any food because I was not hungry and as of late my stomach is extremely sensitive. I don't know if tomorrow will be the day Sam and I get to present because we were listed as to go fourth, but Katie and Grace had food so they got pushed to second and we got pushed down to fifth. It's not like I care when we get present, as long as we get to go, I'll be fine. There's three other groups ahead of us, so we will most likely go Tuesday, but we could go tomorrow depending on how fast some of these projects go.
