7 0

General Douglas MacArthur's island-hopping strategy involved sending US troops island-by-island across the Pacific to dislodge Japanese forces stationed on those islands. The US lacked the means to send troops directly to Japan primarily because the Japanese controlled numerous islands across the Pacific to serve as fueling stations for ships and air stations for planes. Through island-hopping, MacArthur gradually took out those Japanese forces and converted the islands into fueling and flight stations for the United States thereby allowing the US to move closer and closer to the Japanese mainland.

Answer:

California resident Sara Dunaway-Seitz got married last year. While planning her nuptials a friend suggested an app called Yerdle that offered a modern twist on bartering.

"I was pulled in by the idea of getting things I could use in the wedding for dirt cheap, but the more that I got the hang of it, the clearer it became Yerdle would become an outlet for me to reduce clutter more than acquiring new things," she says.

"In the 15 months I've been an active member, I've tallied up 325-plus gives, and at last check was at about a three-to-one give/get ratio."

Users list items they no longer want or need, priced in Yerdle dollars. They can then be used to buy items from other members of the community
