Martin Luther, a German monk, started the German Reformation by posting 95 theses on the castle church of Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. The immediate provocation spurring this act was Pope Leo X’s renewal of the indulgence for the building of the new St. Peter's Basilica in 1514. Luther was challenged to recant his heresy at the Diet of Worms in 1521. When he refused, he was placed under the ban of the Empire by Charles V. Receiving the protection of Frederick the Wise, he was then able to translate the Bible into German.

Seattle Slew (February 15, 1974 - May 7, 2002) was an American Thoroughbred race horse who won the Triple Crown in 1977--the tenth of twelve horses to accomplish the feat. He is the only horse to have won the Triple Crown while having been undefeated in any race previous. Honored as the 1977 Horse of the Year, he was also a champion at age two, three and four. In the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century Seattle Slew was ranked ninth.
Seattle Slew stood at stud at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington for seven years, before moving to Three Chimneys Farm in Midway in 1985. He was the leading sire of 1984, when his son Swale (who died later that year) won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. His other progeny include the talented, ill-fated 1982 champion two-year-old filly, Landaluce, Slew o' Gold (winner of the 1983 Eclipse Award for Outstanding Three-Year-Old Male Horse and the 1984 Eclipse Award for Outstanding Older Male Horse), 1992 Horse of the Year A.P. Indy and the 2000 champion three-year-old filly Surfside. He is part of a unique three generation sequence of Belmont Stakes Winners: Seattle Slew (1977) - A.P. Indy (1992) - Rags to Riches (2004). The primary conduit for Seattle Slew's continuation of his male line has been through A.P. Indy. A.P. Indy has done well at stud in Kentucky, siring (among others) the 2003 Horse of the Year, Mineshaft. One of Seattle Slew's most successful grandsons is the California champion Lava Man (sired by Slew City Slew). In 2006, Lava Man became the first horse to win the Santa Anita Handicap, Hollywood Gold Cup and Pacific Classic Stakes in the same year. Seattle Slew was also a leading broodmare sire, his daughters producing (among others) Cigar (leading North American money-earner of his day). Races in honor of his dam, My Charmer, include the My Charmer Handicap held at Florida's Calder Race Course annually and the My Charmer Stakes held at Kentucky's Turfway Park. Rags to Riches, a granddaughter, won the 2007 Belmont Stakes - the third filly to win the race, after Ruthless in 1867 and Tanya in 1905. The victory earned jockey John Velazquez and trainer Todd Pletcher their first wins in any Triple Crown race. Rags To Riches was the 22nd filly to run in the Belmont. In 2002, ESPN telecast a "SportsCentury" on Seattle Slew. In 2014, Seattle Slew's great-great grandson, California Chrome, won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. California Chrome was the second Kentucky Derby winner in a row who was a sire-line descendant of Seattle Slew, following Orb in 2013. California Chrome's bid for the Triple Crown was defeated by another great-grandson of Seattle Slew, Tonalist, by leading sire Tapit. Tapit also sired the winners of the 2016 and 2017 Belmont Stakes, Creator and Tapwrit respectively. 25 years to the day after he won the Kentucky Derby, Seattle Slew died in his sleep at age 28. He was buried whole, the highest honor for a winning race horse, in the courtyard at Hill 'N' Dale Farm near Lexington, Kentucky, with his favorite blanket and a bag of peppermints which he liked to eat. Three Chimneys Farm erected a statue of Seattle Slew near the stallion barn in his honor. Since fellow Triple Crown winner and rival Affirmed had died the year before, he was the sole living Triple Crown winner. At the horse's death, there were no living Triple Crown winners for the first time since Sir Barton won the first Triple Crown in 1919. This phenomenon continued until American Pharoah's Triple Crown in 2015.

Another heartbreaking day for investors in oil stocks
Another heartbreaker for energy stock traders.
It had been a very promising week: for the first time since April, energy stocks were in a modest uptrend, though oil itself sat at the lows, with no sign of a bounce.
OK, the uptrend was only for about four days, but it was the first uptrend of ANY kind since April. Since then the Energy Select ETF, a basket of all the large energy names, has gone straight down almost every day, dropping about 20 percent in three months.
What happened today? Investors made the same mistake they made several times this year: they tried to buy oil stocks ahead of a recovery in oil.
It is, unfortunately, the wrong trade: oil leads oil stocks, not the other way around.
And so, when oil hit another new low at the open today, you could just about hear a giant "whoosh" of sell orders sweep the floor as investors once again threw in the towel on energy.
All the drillers and exploration & production names fell apart, again. Transocean, Chesapeake, and Southwestern down more than 4 to 6 percent.
Devon, Baker Hughes and Apache down about 3 percent.
Not surprisingly, there are more "capitulation" notes out. Oppenheimer's Fadel Gheit said in a note to clients this morning that the "new normal" in oil would be $65-$75 in the recovery. When will that weak recovery happen? Everyone has already given up on the "V" recovery, and most are now throwing in the towel on the "U" recovery.
Instead, Gheit said, there will be a "bathtub" recovery: lower for longer. Like, into 2016.
And, he added, expect layoffs. Lots of them. The energy industry added about 500,000 jobs in the last seven or eight years; a good chunk of them are in jeopardy.
Where does this leave energy stocks? The big guys can weather a downturn, the smaller guys cannot, so now it is a war of attrition.
Look what happened today: driller Hercules Offshore filed a prepackaged bankruptcy plan prior to the open, though the stock was already in freefall for two months.
The bulls point out that the oil majors have juicy dividend yields (4 to 6 percent) and they have all pledged not to cut the dividends.
Bears say, oh sure. They're safe for 2015, but if oil stays down here into 2016, forget about it. Remember the banks said they would never cut their dividends back in early 2008?
How'd that work out for everyone? Same thing here.
And remember, it's one thing for Conoco and ExxonMobil to say their dividend is safe, but the smaller exploration and production guys, and the drillers, don't have the cash flow to keep those dividends going. Ensco, Transocean, and Seadrill have already cut the dividend. Chesapeake eliminated the dividend completely.

The war entered a new phase with the unprecedented defeat of the Japanese at Battle of Suixian-Zaoyang and 1st Battle of Changsha. After these victories, Chinese nationalist forces launched a large-scale counter-offensive in early 1940; however, due to its low military-industrial capacity, it was repulsed by Japanese army in late March 1940. In August of 1940, Chinese communists launched an offensive in Central China; in retaliation, Japan instituted the "Three Alls Policy" ("Kill all, Burn all, Loot all") in occupied areas to reduce human and material resources for the communists. By 1941 the conflict had become a stalemate. Although Japan had occupied much of northern, central, and coastal China, the Nationalist Government had retreated to the interior with a provisional capital set up at Chungking while the Chinese communists remained in control of base areas in Shaanxi. In addition, Japanese control of northern and central China was somewhat tenuous, in that Japan was usually able to control railroads and the major cities ("points and lines"), but did not have a major military or administrative presence in the vast Chinese countryside. The Japanese found its aggression against the retreating and regrouping Chinese army was stalled by the mountainous terrain in southwestern China while the Communists organised widespread guerrilla and saboteur activities in northern and eastern China behind the Japanese front line.

Context: By June 2010, there were close to 16,000 digital cinema screens, with over 5000 of them being stereoscopic setups. David Hancock claims that the total number of digital screens worldwide was 36,242, up from 16,339 at end 2009 or a growth rate of 121.8 percent during the year. There were 10,083 d-screens in Europe as a whole (28.2 percent of global figure), 16,522 in the United States and Canada (46.2 percent of global figure) and 7,703 in Asia (21.6 percent of global figure). As regards digital 3D screens, there were a total of 21,936 3D screens, which equals 60.5 percent of all d-screens. This was a rise from the 55 percent in 2009 but is expected to drop slightly in 2011 to 57.5 percent. By the end of 2012, according to Screen Digest, 91.4% of UK screens had been converted to digital and the rest expected to be so by the middle of 2013. Worldwide progress was slower as in some territories, particularly Latin America and Africa. However almost all screens worldwide were expected to be converted by the end of 2015. As of 31 March 2015, 38,719 screens (out of a total of 39,789 screens) in the United States have been converted to digital (15,643 of which are 3D capable), 3,007 screens in Canada have been converted (1,382 of which are 3D), and 93,147 screens internationally have been converted (59,350 of which are 3D). As of 3 May 2016, 98.2% of the worlds cinema screens were digitized.

Read this: In a response to Livingstone, Theodore Dobzhansky argued that when talking about race one must be attentive to how the term is being used: "I agree with Dr. Livingstone that if races have to be 'discrete units,' then there are no races, and if 'race' is used as an 'explanation' of the human variability, rather than vice versa, then the explanation is invalid." He further argued that one could use the term race if one distinguished between "race differences" and "the race concept." The former refers to any distinction in gene frequencies between populations; the latter is "a matter of judgment." He further observed that even when there is clinal variation, "Race differences are objectively ascertainable biological phenomena… but it does not follow that racially distinct populations must be given racial (or subspecific) labels." In short, Livingstone and Dobzhansky agree that there are genetic differences among human beings; they also agree that the use of the race concept to classify people, and how the race concept is used, is a matter of social convention. They differ on whether the race concept remains a meaningful and useful social convention.

Editor's note: Frank Snepp is a Peabody award-winning investigative journalist, most recently for NBC in Los Angeles, and the author of two CIA memoirs. One, "Decent Interval," is an account of the fall of Saigon, based on his perspective as the CIA's chief strategy analyst there. His second book, "Irreparable Harm," is the inside story of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, U.S. v. Snepp, that defines the legal rights and risks of U.S. intelligence employees who become whistle-blowers in national security cases. As a result of the CIA winning a court verdict against Snepp, the writer must clear his pieces -- including this one -- through the CIA. He has also taught media law at USC
(CNN) -- The conservative Republican Rep. Peter King of New York recently uncorked the genie that journalists fear most, by calling for a crackdown on anyone who gives air time to Edward Snowden and like-minded leakers. To most of my journalist colleagues, this seems to violate the most basic tenets of press freedom. But as I discovered from my own bout with the U.S. Supreme Court, the First Amendment can be a fickle friend for anyone who dares defy the guardians of "official secrecy."
The continued hemorrhaging of some of our most closely held intelligence could make the administration an ally of King's, particularly if Snowden keeps lobbing headline-grabbers from some hideaway abroad. Attorney General Eric Holder has already shown his colors by prosecuting more leak cases under the espionage statutes than any of his predecessors, and by making reporters' phone and e-mail records fair game in related investigations.
The WikiLeaks case bears all the hallmarks of his take-no-prisoners strategy and should be a wake-up call for anyone tempted to follow in the footsteps of Bradley Manning, the Army private on trial for allegedly downloading countless classified files to the WikiLeaks website. In building a brief against him, military prosecutors are interpreting the espionage statutes and an aiding-the-enemy charge with abandon, and have even suggested that his actions were tantamount to sharing secrets with Osama bin Laden.
The criminal complaint against Edward Snowden ups the ante even further. It targets the cherished source of two doggedly mainstream journals, The Washington Post and the Guardian, a British newspaper. And it includes an espionage charge involving some of our most highly classified secrets -- the communications intelligence Snowden allegedly stole from his former employer, the National Security Agency.
What makes all this vexing for journalists is a snake in the haystack. The communications statute cited against Snowden specifically targets anyone who "publishes" the restricted information. Both he and Manning are also saddled with a more generalized espionage charge that makes it illegal for anyone to pass "national defense" information to an unauthorized recipient, or to conspire to do so. Journalists as well as leakers can easily be fit into the starring role.
Eric Holder seems to agree, as we've learned from a recently leaked FBI affidavit. It accuses Fox reporter James Rosen of having conspired in an act of espionage when he elicited intelligence from a leaky insider. The affidavit doesn't seek an indictment against him, only his e-mail records.
But just such an indictment could be in the works for WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange, and if so, it would be bad news for all leak hounds. A secret grand jury began investigating Assange more than two years ago, and First Amendment guru James Goodale, who represented The New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case, has publicly speculated that Assange could wind up facing conspiracy charges modeled after the Rosen affidavit if he ever lands on American soil.
Opinion: U.S. intelligence community is out of control
The ... statute cited against Snowden specifically targets anyone who "publishes" the restricted information. ... Journalists as well as leakers can easily be fit into the starring role.
Typically, espionage cases are won or lost on issues that don't apply to Web publishers, let alone mainstream journalists. Normally what's required is clear proof of unpatriotic intent and real damage to the country. But the communications statute in the Snowden case allows for a guilty verdict if a leak is merely "prejudicial to the U.S. interest" -- a flimsy standard that could convict a journalist for simply recycling Snowden's handouts. And from the Pentagon Papers case onward, prosecutors have tried to lower the bar even further.
President Nixon tried and failed to get leaker Daniel Ellsberg and his accomplices jailed for espionage without putting their motives on trial -- the first time the spy laws had been used against anyone other than a spy -- and the Reagan administration scored an actual conviction on this basis.
A civilian analyst for the Navy had been arrested for handing classified satellite photos to a British magazine. He hadn't meant to help a foreign adversary and there was no proof of real harm to U.S. security. But, the courts trounced him anyway, making him the first U.S. official ever to go to jail on an espionage rap for merely leaking secrets to the press. (He was pardoned by President Bill Clinton.)
Throughout all this, journalists have remained dangerously blase, convinced that they could never be made to pay for their sources' sins. No reporter, after all, has ever been convicted of espionage for publishing secrets, and the Supreme Court has generally given the press a free pass to publish even nonpublic government information if obtained lawfully.
But if Assange gets convicted, that could be a game changer. Attorney Goodale warns that the spy laws could then potentially be used to punish any "conspiracy to commit journalism" when official secrets are involved.
Nor is espionage the only stick that can be used to beat the press. A theft-of-government-property charge has also been lodged against Manning and Snowden, and it wouldn't take much to stretch it to fit their "fences" in the media.
Civil law also offers a fallback, as the Supreme Court proved in its breakthrough ruling against me.
Like Snowden, I'd once been a dedicated spook, but it was Vietnam, not the NSA, that broke the spell. After experiencing the collapse of Saigon firsthand, I quit the CIA in a fit of anguish and published a memoir, "Decent Interval," about botched intelligence and the abandonment of our Vietnamese allies. Prosecutors in the Carter Justice Department hauled me in for allegedly violating CIA secrecy agreements and an invisible "trust" by publishing my book without agency approval.
They did not accuse me of revealing any secrets, classified or otherwise. No secrets, period. My offense, as they saw it, was procedural: I'd deprived the agency of the chance to sort out whether my writings might expose secrets before the damage was done.
Never mind that I'd been trained to recognize secrets when I saw them, and it didn't seem to faze prosecutors that the CIA routinely gave a pass to any unauthorized author from the ranks who wrote favorably of its operations. Instead they set out to chill all potential whistle-blowers by seeking severe penalties against me without any proof of damage to anybody.
The Supreme Court obliged them in spades. It declared that I had irrevocably damaged the country by creating the appearance of a CIA security meltdown and decreed that I be gagged for life -- required to submit to agency screeners anything I might write about what I'd learned "as a result of" my government service, whatever that means. The government was also allowed to confiscate every cent I had earned from "Decent Interval," including the equivalent of all the taxes I had already paid on those earnings. Profits from any reprints or film rights are also forfeited -- forever.
Some journalists decried this penalizing of nonclassified disclosures in the absence of proven harm, and warned of serious damage to the First Amendment. But most people concluded that an errant spook had simply received his comeuppance -- and no sweat for anyone else.
The ruling was a ticking time bomb. Under the government's theories, it's not merely the leaker or unapproved author who breaches a "trust" but anyone along the daisy chain. Indeed, my lawyers discovered that prosecutors had considered suing my publisher, Random House, and "60 Minutes." But out of concern for pushback from the press's own First Amendment lobby, they had decided to target me alone.
It was a shrewd call. The time bomb kept ticking, and several years later it exploded. The cigarette manufacturer Brown & Williamson learned that a former employee, Jeffrey Wigand, was about to expose what he claimed was a company cover-up of the true hazards of nicotine. Invoking the Snepp ruling and other case law, the firm's lawyers threatened to sue CBS if it aired a Wigand interview, which they said would violate a nondisclosure agreement he'd signed on the job. CBS buckled and canceled his appearance.
Take warning, Edward Snowden and your Guardian and Post helpmates. All CIA and NSA employees and contractors take on nondisclosure commitments, and thus have a contagious liability that can be passed along to journalistic bed partners.
And it isn't the sensitivity of the message that can send you to the poorhouse. The creator/producer of the FX spy drama "The Americans" is an ex-CIA agent and signatory of an agency secrecy agreement, and if he doesn't submit his scripts to the CIA for vetting, FX, the actors and crew could all conceivably be dinged for this "breach of trust," even if the only CIA reference in his scripts is a piece of dialogue about luncheon specials in Langley's cafeteria.
Such are the consequences of anti-leak paranoia gone haywire.
President Obama has tried to assure us in the face of Snowden's leak-fest that Congress and the courts stand ready to safeguard all our civil liberties. But the Supreme Court accepted uncritically all government security claims in my case because of public hysteria over the Iran hostage crisis and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And the tremors still resonating down from 9/11 make judges and legislators today equally timid watchdogs, especially when it comes to the NSA.
No wonder Snowden and other freshly minted idealists who wind up with access to our most sensitive secrets freak out at the first glimpse of excess, even if they can't quite pinpoint any specific abuse. Confusion reigns, and leaks rain down, when hypocrites in Congress, the courts and the executive branch claim they've got our backs when they don't.
As a journalist I rue the implications of all this for my own profession. King should be reminded that punishing the messenger never stops the drip and inevitably diminishes constitutional protections for us all, even him.
But because my CIA service taught me that secrets can sometimes save lives and make bad policies better, I must extend a tentative benefit of the doubt to a constitutional law professor turned president who is struggling, without a roadmap, to balance unprecedented post-9/11 security needs and time-honored constitutional values.
Let's face it: In an era of instant threat, Web-nurtured sappers and the amplification-by-Internet of the damage from truly dangerous leaks, who's to be faulted for erring on the side of caution?
Opinion: Why we're all stuck in the digital transit zone with Snowden
And though I share Snowden's belief in the purifying powers of transparency, I can only hope he resists the zealot's temptation to burn down the village in order to save it. That only stokes the bomb-throwers and those in government who oppose letting any light into the darker corners of our espionage empire.
Nor is self-restraint just for cowards and losers. Ellsberg, after all, held back some of the most sensitive of the Pentagon Papers, those that protected diplomatic efforts to end the Vietnam War. And my own book exposed none of the secrets I knew that had survived the fall of Saigon. Even so, my concerns got aired anyway -- and maybe, just maybe, some of my successors in the spy world learned enough from what I wrote not to repeat the mistakes that shamed us.

I had been hearing so many great things about Five Guys from people where I work. We finally tried it, and we were not disappointed, but it cost about 35 dollars for a family of four. Everyone enjoyed the burgers a lot, but they are very messy to eat - I prefer something less messy like a Whataburger or In-N-Out (which are considerably cheaper as well). I think next time I go I will try their grilled cheese sandwich. Also, I keep reading rave reviews about the fries. My all time favorite for fries is still McDonalds (but only when they are fresh and hot). I thought Five Guys fries were too greasy and soggy - but still very good.

It's always a good idea to give the students some idea of how they'll be graded and what they'll be graded on. You should probably emphasize the specific assignment sheet, depending on the type of assignment, but it's still helpful for the student to have some sense of the different things you'll be looking for and to be able to use the rubric as a checklist before turning the assignment in. Brainstorm different values for the grade on the board and let the students come up with the rubric themselves. Typically, they'll weight things exactly as you would, and it gives them some sense that the grading will be fair and that they've got a stake in their own success. This is a highly recommended exercise in getting students to engage with the process of their own learning. You're still the teacher. If students are united in wanting to assign 99 points to grammar, you can end the exercise without completing it. Use it as a teachable moment, though. Pick on students with bad spelling and ask if they'll really want the bulk of their grade to come from sentence-level nitpicking. They'll get the picture. If you're in the middle of a big batch of essays and you realize it's somewhat unbalanced, maybe weighting too much and giving what you think might be skewed-positive grades, it's not the right time to switch things up and go subjective-rogue on the grading. Stick to the rubric and revise it for next time. Assign points to each category, tabulate the grade at the end, and share the finished product with the student. Save a copy for your records, and return the table with the individual grade breakdown to each student. Make time to speak with students about their grades if they desire a consultation.
Summary: | Share the rubric with your students before they complete the assignment. Consider allowing students to have input on the rubric. Grade the assignments and stick to the rubric. Tabulate the grades and show the students the completed rubric. | 3 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

NEW: An Ohio man says he has never seen such winds and damage. Two boys, ages 7 and 2, are killed while camping at a park in New Jersey. They're among 13 killed in storms that left millions without power. Cooling stations open up and down the East Coast due to extreme heat.
Article: | Their stay in Parvin State Park in southwestern New Jersey was supposed to be a getaway, a chance to enjoy the wilderness and quality time with family. But when the line of strong storms came through shortly after midnight Saturday, two related families from nearby Millville decided to huddle together in a single tent hoping to ride out the strong winds and lightning together. Then, after a particularly violent gust, a pine tree snapped -- and fell right on top of them. Lives in danger as many seek refuge from extreme heat. By the time help made it to the scene, past downed trees and power lines, a 2-year-old boy was already dead, said Larry Ragonese, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. His 7-year-old cousin later died on the way to a hospital, the spokesman added. "The rest of the family members miraculously were virtually unscathed -- a couple of scratches, but nothing to them," Ragonese told CNN. "What they have is the horror of what happened to the two boys." The families weren't the only ones to experience tragedy when an extreme heat spell helped spawn a powerful line of thunderstorms that swept east from Indiana to New Jersey. Millions were without power Saturday as a result, at a dangerous time given temperatures that soared past 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many of the hardest-hit locales. The combination of no electricity and extreme heat contributed to a host of unique challenges, leading officials to urge residents to do whatever they can to keep cool. Scores of cooling stations were opened up and down the East Coast. At one, in Atlanta, workers unloaded bottles of water while a resident offered advice for the city's senior citizens. "A lot of them don't realize that they are suffering from dehydration. And so to come to a place that is cool, come to a place where there's water provided, come to a place where they don't have to worry for about 7-8 hours in 106 degree temperature, it's really wonderful," said Savannah Potter. Including the two boys from South Jersey, a total of 13 people died as a result of downed trees and power lines, officials said. The millions lucky enough to survive the storms are hardly out of trouble, though, especially given the widespread power outages. 5 tips to survive extreme heat. The strong winds, heavy rains and continued heat made it feel tropical, and certainly dangerous, in inland states like Ohio. "It looked like a hurricane you would see on television -- the rain was falling horizontally, the patio furniture was moving," said CNN iReporter Louis Zur Muhlen from suburbs just north of Columbus, where he spotted burning power lines in the road. "We have pretty severe weather with thunderstorms and such, but I have never seen winds like that, and I haven't seen this kind of damage." Hospitals in Prince George's County in Maryland were buzzing Saturday as people came into emergency department waiting rooms trying to get cool, said Fran Phillips, deputy secretary for the state's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Water was running out in Lowell, in southeastern West Virginia, because, without electricity, the town's water tanks couldn't be refilled, water and sewer operator Matt McLeish told CNN affiliate WTAP. Residents in the town use about 50,000 gallons of water a day -- yet the main storage tank only has about 80,000 gallons left in it -- prompting officials there to urge people to conserve water. In Rockville, Maryland, a mother and daughter were dealing with more ordinary, but still disappointing concerns. They were forced to cancel the young girl's birthday party Saturday at an ice skating rink after it lost power. The family doesn't have electricity at its home. "We're going to the mall. Montgomery Mall we hear has air conditioning so that's where we're off too now," said mom Alicia Lucero. Photos: Extreme heat strikes East and Midwest. Will 2012 be the hottest summer on record?

Background: General Sir Miles Christopher Dempsey, (15 December 1896 - 5 June 1969) was a senior British Army officer who served in both world wars. As a junior officer, he fought in France during the First World War, where he was wounded, and served throughout the difficult interwar period, travelling to various corners of the globe. During the Second World War he had a close relationship with Bernard Montgomery and commanded the 13th Brigade in France in 1940, and spent the next two years training troops in England, before commanding XIII Corps for the invasions of Sicily and Italy in 1943. He later commanded the Second Army during the Battle of Normandy and made rapid advances in the subsequent campaign in Northern France and Belgium and was the first British Army commander to cross the Rhine.
Context: In North Africa, Sicily and Italy, Montgomery's faith in Dempsey had proved justified and he had also gained a reputation for his expertise in Combined Operations. This prompted Montgomery, when he left Italy at the end of 1943 to take command of the 21st Army Group for the forthcoming D-Day landings, to select Dempsey to command the British Second Army. The Second Army was the main British force (although it also included Canadian Army units) involved in the landings, making successful assaults at Gold, Juno and Sword beaches on 6 June 1944. The successful assaults were followed by a battle of attrition during which the Anglo-Canadian forces were frustrated by determined German resistance. This fighting drew vital German units including the bulk of their armoured strength to the Caen sector, facilitating the breakout further west in July (see Operation Cobra) by Lieutenant General George S. Patton's U.S. Third Army. The Second Army then made a rapid advance across northern France into Belgium, liberating Brussels and Antwerp in September 1944. On 15 October 1944, during a visit to the Second Army, King George VI knighted Dempsey on the battlefield. Because of the fast and successful advance over more than 200 miles in a week Dempsey received the nickname of "Two Hundred Miles" Dempsey. Second Army's XXX Corps (now commanded by Lieutenant General Brian Horrocks) took part in Operation Market Garden, the failed attempt to secure an early crossing of the River Rhine in September 1944, which Dempsey believed could not succeed and openly questioned to Montgomery. Airborne troops secured a succession of canal and river crossings to enable XXX Corps to reach the Lower Rhine at Arnhem and wheel right into Germany. Intelligence had not detected the presence of unexpected German formations in the area and resistance proved greater than expected frustrating XXX Corps attempts to reach its final objective. During the operation, Dempsey, forward near the front with his Tac HQ, witnessed the crossing of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division's 504th Parachute Regiment cross the Nijmegen bridge. Impressed, he later wrote that the 82nd was "easily the best division on the Western front". Dempsey met with the 82nd's commander, Brigadier General James M. Gavin, shook him by the hand and said "I am proud to meet the commander of the greatest division in the world today." The Second Army, with XII and XXX Corps in the vanguard and II Canadian Corps under command and VIII Corps in reserve eventually crossed the Rhine on 23 March 1945, and Dempsey was the first British Army commander to do so. On 7 April 1945, The Illustrated London News carried a full front page of a specially commissioned portrait painting of Dempsey by artist Arthur Pan. In May, Dempsey's men captured Bremen, Hamburg and Kiel. At 11.00 am on 3 May, a delegation of senior German officers led by General Admiral von Friedeberg arrived at Dempsey's Tac HQ and after questioning it appeared that Friedeberg was a representative of Generalfeldmarschall Keitel and Grand Admiral Donitz who wished to surrender. In typical fashion Dempsey sent them on their way to report to Montgomery which led to the formal surrender the next day at Luneberg Heath.

Please answer a question about the following article about North Carolina:
Besides slaves, there were a number of free people of color in the state. Most were descended from free African Americans who had migrated along with neighbors from Virginia during the 18th century. The majority were the descendants of unions in the working classes between white women, indentured servants or free, and African men, indentured, slave or free. After the Revolution, Quakers and Mennonites worked to persuade slaveholders to free their slaves. Some were inspired by their efforts and the language of the Revolution to arrange for manumission of their slaves. The number of free people of color rose markedly in the first couple of decades after the Revolution.

Kathmandu had only one western-style restaurant in 1955. A large number of restaurants in Kathmandu have since opened, catering Nepali cuisine, Tibetan cuisine, Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine in particular. Many other restaurants have opened to accommodate locals, expatriates, and tourists. The growth of tourism in Kathmandu has led to culinary creativity and the development of hybrid foods to accommodate for tourists such as American chop suey, which is a sweet-and-sour sauce with crispy noodles with a fried egg commonly added on top and other westernized adaptations of traditional cuisine. Continental cuisine can be found in selected places. International chain restaurants are rare, but some outlets of Pizza Hut and KFC have recently opened there.

By. Kieran Corcoran. This is the horrifying moment a food truck with a mother and her teenage daughter inside exploded, injuring 11 people. La Parrillada Chapina, which sold Mexican food in Philadelphia, was left a charred wreck by a huge burst of flame when one of the propane tanks on board exploded. The entire street can be seen engulfed in fire by the short and violent burst of flame, caught on CCTV. The exploded tank, which was four feet tall, was thrown 150ft by the force of the blast. Scroll down for video. Moments before: La Parrillada Chapina can be seen in the centre of the picture in Philadelphia, moments before it engulfs the street in flames.

People driving past were also caught up in the explosion, with pedestrians nearby saying the force of the blast nearly knocked them off their feet. Nine other people were also taken to hospital after the explosion at 5.30pm yesterday in the Feltonville district of the city. Seven of the burn victims were treated and released from hospital that evening, while the final two remain inside in a stable condition. Jane Kim, the owner of a store next to the auto body shop, said that the food truck is parked outside daily. She said that she heard the explosion and was shaken by the incident. Blast: The propane explosion, caught on CCTV, critically injured two women - a mother and her teenage daughter - who were inside the food truck when it blew up. Investigation: Firefighters and bomb experts are investigating the blast for any signs of foul play. Remains: The truck - the name of which translates to 'The Barbecue Grill' - is a charred wreck after the blast. Victim Latoya Page, who suffered first-degree burns to her leg, said: 'I heard the boom first and then the fire just came out of nowhere.' She told CBS: 'I have first degree burns on my whole left side'. Philadelphia's fire department and a police bomb square are investigating the blast. Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said: 'We want to ensure that this was an accidental explosion. We want to ensure this wasn't anything criminal.' 'The bomb squad is investigating to see if there is any foul play. That will be the result of a completed investigation.'

* To be fair, I didn't actually stay to sample the food. I can only think of a handful of times I have actually walked out of a restaurant in which I intended to eat at. Unfortunately, this was one of them. This is why: My fiance and I bought a deal over a year ago on restaurants.com to try out this place. We were actually really excited to give Columbian food a try, but for whatever reason, hadn't gotten around to using our coupon. We finally decided to just make a plan, and go for it. We looked over the menu and were really looking forward to coming here. We were expecting a little hole in the wall, with simple but tasty food. And maybe that is what we would have gotten on a different day. Unfortunately, the day we went, two major red flags were present. 1. When we walked in, a handful of people were sitting in the "front" room, which is basically a convenience store front with a few tables. We weren't offered a seat in this room. Rather the hostess walked us to the larger back room- where the lights were turned off. She told us they were off because they were trying to cool the restaurant down- there is no air conditioning in the building. We arrived at 6:00 pm on a Wednesday. It didn't seem as though they were expecting customers. 2. The second we walked in, my fiance and I both instantly noticed that the entire building wreaked of sewage. The smell could not be ignored. Sorry, but if the place I'm going to eat at smells like waste, I don't have confidence in your sanitary practices. I've never been in a restaurant that smelled, and we immediately left. The health department might want to drop in for an inspection.

Article: In May and June 1835, the area which is now central and northern Melbourne was explored by John Batman, a leading member of the Port Phillip Association in Van Diemen's Land (now known as Tasmania), who claimed to have negotiated a purchase of 600,000 acres (2,400 km2) with eight Wurundjeri elders. Batman selected a site on the northern bank of the Yarra River, declaring that "this will be the place for a village". Batman then returned to Launceston in Tasmania. In early August 1835 a different group of settlers, including John Pascoe Fawkner, left Launceston on the ship Enterprize. Fawkner was forced to disembark at Georgetown, Tasmania, because of outstanding debts. The remainder of the party continued and arrived at the mouth of the Yarra River on 15 August 1835. On 30 August 1835 the party disembarked and established a settlement at the site of the current Melbourne Immigration Museum. Batman and his group arrived on 2 September 1835 and the two groups ultimately agreed to share the settlement.

Russia's war effort was funded primarily by France, in a series of loans totalling 800 million francs ; another loan in the amount of 600 million francs was agreed upon, but later cancelled. These loans were extended within a climate of mass bribing of the French press . Although initially reluctant to participate in the war, the French government and major banks were co-operative since it became clear that Russian and French economic interests were tied. In addition to French money, Russia secured a loan in the amount of 500 million marks from Germany, who also financed Japan's war effort. Conversely, Japan's pre-war gold reserves were a modest 11.7 million pounds; a major portion of the total cost of the war was covered by money borrowed from the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. During his canvassing expedition in London, the Japanese vice-governor of the Bank of Japan met Jacob Schiff, an American banker and head of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Schiff, in response to Russia's anti-Jewish pogroms and sympathetic to Japan's cause, extended a critical series of loans to the Empire of Japan, in the amount of 200 million US dollars . Japan's total war expenditure was 2,150 million yen, of which 38%, or 820 million yen, was raised overseas.

Put any shoes you aren’t wearing on the plane in the bottom of the bag to keep them from crushing more delicate items, and fill them with your socks or charging cables. Pack all toiletries into a small bag and put them with your shoes. Liquid, cream, and aerosol toiletries have to stay under 3.4 ounces to adhere to TSA restrictions. Put all those items in a separate, quart-sized bag: if they're in your carry-on, they need to be taken out during screening. To keep your dress shirts from getting too crushed or wrinkled, pack any heavy items - like jeans, suit pants, or dresses - after the toiletries and shoes. If you’re worried about things getting messy, buy packing cubes to keep things organized. There are two ways to pack clothes: using the folding technique, or the rolling technique. The rolling technique keeps things tight and small, to maximize space. The folding technique keeps items flat and organized so they arrive in a neat condition. Keeping your dress shirts on top keeps them as wrinkle-free as possible. You can keep these in shirt covers or folded carefully over everything else. You can also neatly fold your tie and place it along with the shirts. Pack your laptop, phone, any tablets, medications, and a folder for all your business and travel documents into your handbag. This makes sure everything you need with you is in one place, and you won't lose any medications or electronics. Don't forget your chargers! To make it easier to charge your devices on the go, pack them in your purse or briefcase, if you have one. Take a few minutes to hang up your clothes to spare them excess wrinkles.
Summary: | Start with toiletries, chargers, and shoes. Put heavier clothes in second. Add your shirts last. Pack any important documents, prescriptions, and electronics in your purse or briefcase.

Article: | By. Sophie Jane Evans. The names of the schools at the heart of an alleged Islamist plot to take over state institutions have been revealed. The 18 schools, which have been inspected by Ofsted over the so-called 'Trojan Horse' plot, were named in a list released by Birmingham City Council today. They include Park View School in Alum Rock, Gracelands Nursery school in Sparkbrook and Golden Hillock School in Sparkhill. Inspected: The names of the schools at the heart of an alleged Islamist plot to take over state institutions have been revealed. Above, Park View School in Alum Rock, Birmingham, which is under investigation by Ofsted. Assembly: The 18 schools, which are under investigation over the 'Trojan Horse' plot, were named in a list by Birmingham City Council. Above, an assembly to prepare pupils for Ramadan is held at Park View School. Allegations: One of the schools allegedly praised al Qaeda-linked preacher Anwar al-Awlaki (left) in assembly. Right, Sir Albert Bore, council leader, said Ofsted would likely not publish its final inspection reports until May. They also feature Adderley Primary School, Highfield Junior and Infant School, Nansen. Primary, Alston Primary School and Saltley School and Specialist Science. College, all in Saltley, Birmingham. They are among 25 schools under investigation by Ofsted over claims that Muslim hard-liners are seizing control of governing bodies, segregating male and female pupils and banning sex education. Birmingham. City Council published today a list of 18 schools which are under. investigation by Ofsted over the alleged 'Trojan Horse' plot. The institutions are:. Adderley Primary School, Saltley. Alston Primary School, Saltley. Golden Hillock School, Sparkhill. Gracelands Nursery School, Sparkbrook. Highfield Junior and Infant School, Saltley. Ladypool Primary School, Sparkbrook. Marlborough Junior School, Small Heath. Montgomery Primary Academy, Sparkbrook. Nansen Primary, Saltley. Ninestiles School, Acocks Green. Oldknow Academy, Small Heath. Park View School, Alum Rock. Regents Park Community Primary School, Small Heath. Saltley School and Specialist Science College, Saltley. Small Heath School, Small Heath. Washwood Heath Academy, Stechford. Waverley School, Bordesley Green. Welford Primary School, Handsworth. One school is even being investigated over allegations that the al Qaeda-linked Muslim preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, who died in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011, was praised in assembly. Sir Albert. Bore, council leader, said Ofsted was not intending to publish its. final inspection reports until 'the first or second week of May'. He added that he has not yet seen the draft version of the inspection reports, which have been carried out at the request of Education Secretary Michael Gove. In an investigation progress briefing today, Sir Albert also criticised the apparent leaking of an Education Funding Agency (EFA) report into three city academies to a national newspaper. He said the Government Cabinet Office is currently investigating how the document was obtained by the media. The 'Trojan Horse' allegations first came to light earlier this year, contained in an anonymous and unsigned letter. They have prompted separate ongoing investigations by both the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofsted. On Saturday, The Daily Telegraph reported that six of the schools at the centre of the iinquiry faced being placed in special measures. Sir Albert described the leaking of the EFA report as 'wholly reprehensible' - adding that one school had been inaccurately included in press articles when it was unconnected with the current inquiries. Although 25 schools are involved in three separate investigations into the plot, the city council's chief executive, Mark Rogers, said he was in 'no position' to identify the remaining seven schools because inquiries were still 'in the early stages'. The council’s investigation is being headed by former headteacher Ian Kershaw, who is sifting through about 200 concerns raised since the alleged 'Trojan Horse' plot emerged. Meanwhile,while the DfE has appointed its own education commissioner, the former head of the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism unit Peter Clarke. Inquiry: The institutions are among 25 schools under investigation by Ofsted over allegations that Muslims are seizing control of governing bodies. Above, one of the schools, Gracelands Nursery School in Sparkbrook. Claims: The 'Trojan Horse' allegations came to light earlier this year. Above, Adderley Primary School in Saltley. Officials: The city council's chief executive, Mark Rogers (left), said today he was in 'no position' to identify the remaining seven schools. Right, Peter Clarke has been appointed as the DfE's education commissioner. The DfE announced Mr Clarke’s. appointment on April 15 - prompting dismay from teachers’ leaders,. Muslim community members and the chief constable of West Midlands Police. Chris Sims. They described it as 'desperately unfortunate', and a decision which would be misinterpreted by some people, given his anti-terror background. But the DfE said his experience of high-level investigations meant he was the right man to carry out his role effectively, while acting in a 'professional and dispassionate manner' Request: The inspections are being carried out at the direct request of Education Secretary Michael Gove. Mr Rogers said it was the council understanding that Sir Michael Wilshaw, the head of Ofsted, had been over-seeing its inquiry for some time. He added that Sir Michael would likely publish an 'overview report' at the same time as the individual school reports were released. Both Mr Clarke and Sir Michael have separately spoken with the council in recent weeks - and Mr Rogers said he was still working 'to persuade' the latter to give the local authority 'early sight' of the Ofsted reports. It comes as the council has announced the make-up of its Trojan Horse review group, which Mr Kershaw will report to. It includes Kamal Hanif, the headteacher of Waverley Primary School - one of the schools which has been inspected by Ofsted - Liam Byrne, the Labour MP for Hodge Hill, and David Urquhar, the Bishop of Birmingham, as well as an unnamed senior Muslim community member. Sir Albert said he had asked for a single joint investigation by the council, DfE and Ofsted - but 'for whatever reason, the Secretary of State (Michael Gove) decided he wanted to go it alone and appoint Peter Clarke'. He said: Ofsted and the Secretary of State will operate in whatever manner they so wish.' Mr Rogers added: 'We don’t condone the Secretary of State’s appointment, but one small part of explanation is we do expect Peter Clarke to have a wider brief than just Birmingham. so in one sense we can understand he might want separation. 'But the value of collaborating is clear. Nobody wants to have to go through the evidence three times or have multiple reports.' | 7 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Mitt Romney had a mutiny on his hands. Not with his staff but with his embeds. The hardworking, 20- and 30-something off-camera network news reporters who chronicle Romney's every public utterance had decided on a plan: They would band together and confront the candidate working the rope line, mini-cams in hand, with the hopes of forcing Romney to comment on the Rush Limbaugh controversy. Limbaugh had called a woman who testified on the importance of birth control coverage a "slut." Not surprisingly, outside of Seattle on Friday, Romney declined to answer a question from CNN about Limbaugh's insult. Romney rarely answers questions from the embeds and reporters who try to catch him on the rope line. He can hear them but simply ignores them. The Romney embeds are quite used to this. Since the former Massachusetts governor jumped into the GOP race, he has kept his traveling press corps at arm's length. Even though their news organizations pay roughly $1,000 an hour to have these reporters fly aboard Romney's press charter for the sole purpose of round-the-clock coverage of the candidate, the embeds have limited access to him. In the last month, he has held just one "media avail," jargon for a brief news conference. Romney prefers his Fox News Channel comfort zone, appearing on the conservative-leaning cable news channel sometimes several times a week. But the Romney campaign's attempt to control the message fell victim to its own disciplined approach. After Romney zipped past CNN's camera without making a comment, the candidate and his staff hopped aboard their campaign plan for a five-hour flight to Ohio. While he was in the air, his adversaries were having a field day with his silence on the Limbaugh comments. A tweet from this reporter about Romney's nonresponse was re-tweeted by other media outlets and within seconds it had entered the social media bloodstream. Before long, the news (or lack thereof) was picked up by the left-leaning Web sites Huffington Post and Think Progress, which spread the information to their hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter. By the end of the day, the President Barack Obama's top political adviser, David Axelrod, had tweeted: "Rush's vile, appalling assault on Sandra Fluke deserves universal condemnation. How can folks who calls themselves leaders walk away?" It was a clear shot at Romney, who was just landing in Ohio. Flash forward to moments after Romney had finished his speech in Cleveland Friday evening. The embeds pounced. And Romney finally broke his silence. "I'll just say this, which is it's not the language I would have used," Romney said before moving down the rope line. Had Romney said the same thing six hours earlier, or perhaps something a bit more condemnatory, the GOP contender would have averted a news cycle marked by his silence. All of this is just dawning on the campaigns in this new maelstrom. This is the first presidential campaign to feel the full effects of Twitter. Back in the 2008 campaign, the site was in its political infancy, used to shoot out press releases and shoot down negative stories more than anything else. The last campaign was more about YouTube -- the Obama Girl and so on. How things have changed. Witness Andrew Kaczynski at the website Buzz Feed. Kaczynski has quickly earned a large social media following by tirelessly unearthing long-forgotten and mostly embarrassing videos lurking in the bowels of C-SPAN's website and YouTube and tweeting them out. Reporters who follow Kaczynski then re-tweet his handiwork and the earworm is born. If the video is good enough -- such as the one from 2002 featuring then-Governor Romney describing himself on C-SPAN as having "progressive views" -- count on the clip to surface on cable news. Former Jon Huntsman press secretary Tim Miller kept a sharp eye on his own Twitter account while his candidate was in the race to stay on top of the onslaught of information. To stay on guard, he simply followed all of the people tweeting about Huntsman. "With the expansion of news outlets covering the day-to-day minutiae of the campaign and Twitter creating a never-ending news cycle, this campaign has made rapid response and message discipline more important than ever," Miller told CNN. Naturally, the candidates handle this volatile environment in different ways. Whereas Romney does his best to tune out the noise, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich seem to plunge right into it. Santorum could not be more different than Romney in his dealings with the media. The former Pennsylvania senator holds "avails" nearly every day. After debates, he barrels straight into the media spin rooms to take questions. Unlike Romney, GOP spin-doctors say, Santorum needs the free media. "Romney's advantages with organization and funding mean that he is not as dependent on earned media as is Santorum," former Republican National Committee spokesman Doug Heye said. "Santorum does more interviews, not necessarily because he wants to, but that he has to," Heye said. This approach also has its drawbacks. In the days before the Michigan primary, Santorum was within striking distance of dealing Romney what could have been a death blow in his home state. Then Santorum, who should know better given his long history of dealing with a certain Google problem, blew up on Twitter. He accused the president of being a "snob" for wanting young people to go to college. He said he wanted to "throw up" over President John F. Kennedy's call for a separation of church and state. The comments were predictably reduced into 140-character tweet-bombs that detonated under the Michigan hopes of his insurgent campaign. Santorum would later chastise the free media for not covering the real issues voters care about. Message clarity, something Santorum lacked in those days before Michigan, may be one way to manage the chaos. "You need a clear message across all mediums and be able to quickly dispense with any threats to that message," Huntsman's Miller said. For the most part, this is what works for Romney -- his embeds spend much of their time tweeting out the more benign details of his campaign stops -- the stagecrafting, the music, the campaign's message of the day. This is all appreciated by the campaign, whose staffers have privately told reporters they monitor tweets with great interest. But message discipline has its limits. Having had quite enough of Romney's silence, the embeds banded together in the quest for some kind of social media justice on Friday. After getting their quote from Romney, one of the embeds tweeted out a note of congratulations to her colleagues. That tweet was followed by a fair number of retweets.

Write an article based on this "Russell Hobbs has recalled 15 different models of irons after customers raised safety concerns about the products."
Article: | The electrical manufacturer told people to stop using the irons because there was a risk that the flex could fail, and offered a replacement or refund.
The company said consumer safety was its primary concern and apologised for any inconvenience caused.
Several customers posted on the firm's Facebook page that their iron caught fire while they were using it.
Rebecca Scurr wrote: "Just want to warn people of potential danger. My husband was ironing today when it caught fire and burnt him. Lucky he quickly threw it to the floor (damaging our kitchen floor). Could have been a lot worse."
Another customer, Clare Joanna, said: "Today when using the Russell Hobbs Steam Glide iron it suddenly sparked and has burnt my hand badly. The electrical burn is incredibly painful and I would not want anyone else to go through this."
Jonathan Wells told the BBC's Watchdog programme that his iron failed in June this year.
He said: "I realised from the pain in my hand that came straight after it that the iron had caught fire somehow and burned my hand.
"The pain was getting so bad I had to go into the kitchen and run it under the cold tap for probably about an hour."
A Russell Hobbs spokesman said: "The company's primary concern is, as ever, for the safety of their consumers.
"Russell Hobbs has always taken their responsibilities as a manufacturer extremely seriously. The decision to recall these products has been taken with the utmost consideration for the public."
The model numbers, found on a rectangular label on the underside of the heel of the iron, are: 18651, 18742, 19220, 19221, 18743, 19840, 18720, 15081, 19222, 19400, 20260, 18741, 20280, 20550-10, 20560-10.
The affected irons will also have batch codes starting with 045 through to 365 and ending with 12, or starting with 001 through to 195 and ending with 13.
The company said irons with any other number sequence were not affected.
Russell Hobbs said in a statement on its website: "As part of our ongoing quality monitoring program, we've identified an issue with a small number of our irons, that may carry a risk that the flex may fail.
"If you do have an affected iron, please stop using it immediately. Please telephone our customer service department who will advise you of how to return your iron for a replacement or full refund of the purchase price.
"We would like to thank you for your co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience. No other Russell Hobbs products or irons outside of the above codes are affected by this recall."

What is the title of this article:
In addition to the classical restaurants, Paris has several other kinds of traditional eating places. The café arrived in Paris in the 17th century, when the beverage was first brought from Turkey, and by the 18th century Parisian cafés were centres of the city's political and cultural life. The Cafe Procope on the Left Bank dates from this period. In the 20th century, the cafés of the Left Bank, especially Café de la Rotonde and Le Dôme Café in Montparnasse and Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots on Boulevard Saint Germain, all still in business, were important meeting places for painters, writers and philosophers. A bistro is a type of eating place loosely defined as a neighbourhood restaurant with a modest decor and prices and a regular clientele and a congenial atmosphere. Its name is said to have come in 1814 from the Russian soldiers who occupied the city; "bistro" means "quickly" in Russian, and they wanted their meals served rapidly so they could get back their encampment. Real bistros are increasingly rare in Paris, due to rising costs, competition from cheaper ethnic restaurants, and different eating habits of Parisian diners. A brasserie originally was a tavern located next to a brewery, which served beer and food at any hour. Beginning with the Paris Exposition of 1867; it became a popular kind of restaurant which featured beer and other beverages served by young women in the national costume associated with the beverage, particular German costumes for beer. Now brasseries, like cafés, serve food and drinks throughout the day.
