The pay-per-views Every months there's at least one pay-per-view a month. The pay-per-views are special shows where the champions put their title on the line, and wrestle the number one contender. The pay-per- views usually have a special theme or gimmick. Some are based on using Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker, picture http://www.independent.co.uk tables ladders and chairs others are cage fights or elimination matches, maybe even multi man matches. But the one that's the rarest of all is the Three stages of hell match. In the the Three stages of hell is a type of match where it's best of three, so the first to win 2 matches is declared the winner. Now this wouldn't be to bad if it wasn't consecutive matches with different stipulations in every match. But there's 4 pay-per-views that stands out in the crowd. The big four, Summer Slam, Survivor series, The Royal rumble and the one that's biggest of all... WRESTLEMANIA.

US ARMED FORCES By Kasper Vaaga and Magnus Eriksen The US Armed Forces consists of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and the Coast Guard. The President of United States is the overall leader, but he has a council that will help him and give advise that council is DoD.(Department of Defence) The President is the one with all the power. The people working under the president can decide certain things, but big ac- tions like war is up the presi- dent. Budget The US Army has a budget of 664 billion dollars. Every year they use about 580 billion dol- lars. That is almost triple the amount of EU mili- tary budget. In NOK it is 554 910 244 800 kr. If NASA had the same budget theoretically we could be on Mars. They get 136 billion dollars... In 13 years. That's about 10 billion a year. In WW2 they used over 1,000 billion dollars. And in WW1 they used less than 200 billion dollars, that is less than there budget now. Russia has the second most powerful military and has a budget of about 47 billion dollars.

They also have 6,800 nuclear warheads. And they have about 800 military bases in foreign countries. Five-Star Ranking A five star ranking is a very normal military ranking that The United States started using in 1944. In USA there are ten officers that have all of the five stars.

It's located in the United states, and is a very popular tourist attraction. The canyon has been there for around six million years, and is located in Arizona in the U.S. Landscape The landscape in and around The Grand Canyon is very desert like, and is also filled with rocks and cliffs. The Grand Canyon itself is a huge solid rock, with a canyon going trough the middle. At the bottom of the canyon, lies the famous river Colorado river. The Colorado river is also a popular tourist attraction, and you can go rafting in it. The peak of Grand Canyon lies 2100 meters above sea level, and the view is fantastic. Activities As mentioned above, you can go rafting in the Colorado riv- er, but there are also a lot of other activities. You can go skydiving, hiking, running, and you can even get a helicopter tour of the canyon, but that tour is obviously pricy. A very cool, but less known activity at the Grand Canyon, is bungee Experience the many activities and have a grand day. jumping. A bridge has been built there just for the bungee jumping activity, and the way down to the ground is crazy. With the amazing view, all the activities and the unique landscape, it’s no wonder the Grand Canyon is such a big tourist at- traction. Tourism Being able to keep all the activities men- tioned above going requires money. Without the insane number of tourists who visit the Grand Canyon every year, there wouldn’t be any activities or places to stay at the canyon. Every year, around 40 000 people sleep in tents overnight during the season, and the owners of the camp sites haul in tons and tons of money to keep it going. One of the most visited places in the canyon is the Skywalk. It’s a glass bottom “balcony” that sticks out from the front of the Hualapai Tribe’s mini hotel. The Canyon has a varied wildlife that is a sight to behold. Wildlife As the rest of the area surrounding the Grand Canyon, the canyon itself is also rich with wildlife, but sadly not as rich as it was before we humans came and started building there.
