The 2012 Chicago Summit was a meeting of leaders of countries that are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
It was held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois from May 20-21, 2012.
This was the first NATO summit in the United States that was not in Washington, D.C. Chicago was chosen because it was President Barack Obama's home town.
It was going to happen after the 2012 G8 summit in Chicago.
The G8 summit was held at Camp David instead.
At least 38 countries around the world came to the summit.
After the summit, Chicago's security system was improved.

The 1968 Democratic National Convention of the U.S. Democratic Party was held at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois, from August 26 to August 29, 1968.
Because President Lyndon B. Johnson had announced he would not seek reelection, the reason of the convention was to select a new presidential nominee to run as the Democratic Party's candidate for the office.
The keynote speaker was Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii).
The convention was held during a year of violence, political turbulence, and civil unrest, particularly riots in more than 100 cities following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4.
The convention also followed the assassination of Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York, who had been murdered on June 5.
Both Kennedy and Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota had been running against the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey.
Another candidate was Senator of South Dakota George McGovern.
Chicago's mayor, Richard J. Daley, intended to showcase his and the city's achievements to national Democrats and the news media.
Instead, the proceedings became notorious for the large number of demonstrators and the use of force by the Chicago police during what was supposed to be, in the words of the Yippie activist organizers, “A Festival of Life.”
Rioting and protesting took place between demonstrators and the Chicago Police Department, who were assisted by the Illinois National Guard.
The disturbances were well publicized by the mass media, with some journalists and reporters being caught up in the violence.
Network newsmen Mike Wallace and Dan Rather were both roughed up by the Chicago police while inside the halls of the Democratic Convention.

Jack Williams (October 18, 1924 – March 3, 1945) was a United States Navy sailor.
He received the Medal of Honor because of his actions in World War II.
Williams' Medal of Honor recognized his conduct at the Battle of Iwo Jima.
He was killed while giving frontline first aid to a marine who was wounded in a grenade battle.
Williams dragged the man to a shallow hole in the ground; and he remained in the area to care for another marine who was also wounded.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the 3d Battalion 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division, during the occupation of Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, March 3, 1945.
Gallantly going forward on the frontlines under intense enemy small-arms fire to assist a marine wounded in a fierce grenade battle, Williams dragged the man to a shallow depression and was kneeling, using his own body as a screen from the sustained fire as he administered first aid, when struck in the abdomen and groin 3 times by hostile rifle fire.
Momentarily stunned, he quickly recovered and completed his ministration before applying battle dressings to his own multiple wounds.
Unmindful of his own urgent need for medical attention, he remained in the perilous fire-swept area to care for another marine casualty.
Heroically completing his task despite pain and profuse bleeding, he then endeavored to make his way to the rear in search of adequate aid for himself when struck down by a Japanese sniper bullet which caused his collapse.
Succumbing later as a result of his self-sacrificing service to others, Williams, by his courageous determination, unwavering fortitude and valiant performance of duty, served as an inspiring example of heroism, in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
Jack Williams is the namesake of the USS Jack Williams (FFG-24) which was named in his honor.
The ship was in service from 1981 to 1996.
Posthumous recognition
John Harlan Willis (June 10, 1921 – February 28, 1945) was a United States Navy sailor.
Willis' Medal of Honor recognized his conduct at the Battle of Iwo Jima.
He was killed while giving frontline first aid to the many marines wounded in fighting.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Platoon Corpsman serving with the 3d Battalion, 27th Marines, 5th Marine Division, during operations against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, 28 February 1945.
Constantly imperiled by artillery and mortar fire from strong and mutually supporting pillboxes and caves studding Hill 362 in the enemy's cross-island defenses, Willis resolutely administered first aid to the many marines wounded during the furious close-in fighting until he himself was struck by shrapnel and was ordered back to the battle-aid station.
Without waiting for official medical release, he quickly returned to his company and, during a savage hand-to-hand enemy counterattack, daringly advanced to the extreme frontlines under mortar and sniper fire to aid a marine lying wounded in a shellhole.
Completely unmindful of his own danger as the Japanese intensified their attack, Willis calmly continued to administer blood plasma to his patient, promptly returning the first hostile grenade which landed in the shell-hole while he was working and hurling back 7 more in quick succession before the ninth exploded in his hand and instantly killed him.
By his great personal valor in saving others at the sacrifice of his own life, he inspired his companions, although terrifically outnumbered, to launch a fiercely determined attack and repulse the enemy force.
His exceptional fortitude and courage in the performance of duty reflect the highest credit upon Willis and the U.S. Naval Service.
John Willis is the namesake of the destroyer escort ship USS John Willis (DE-1027) which was named in his honor.
Prophylaxis is a term in chess, as well as being a general idea.
It was introduced by the grandmaster Aaron Nimzovich in his book My system in the 1920s.
The term refers to actions taken by a player to anticipate and thwart the opponent's plans, and moves of these type are often called prophylactic moves.
One simple example of a prophylactic move is when a player moves a rook's pawn forward h3 or h6 to prevent a back rank mate, and at the same time prevent an enemy bishop or knight from occupying g4 or g5.
In the example, mate was not an issue, but h3 was still played by world champion Karpov.
Other examples are so subtle that club players would probably never think about them as possible moves.
In the second example Nimzovich himself was playing black.
In general, he wanted to turn his KP into a passed pawn by advancing it.
However, the direct ...e5 does not work well, because the black king gets pushed back:
1....  e5
2.fxe5 fxe5
3.g4+ hxg4
4.hxg4+ Ke6
5.Rd6+ and the black king is kept out of play.
1....  Rf8!
and now after
2.Be1  g5!
is best because
3.fxg5 fxg5
4.g4+  hxg4
5.hxg4+ Ke5+ wins the white rook.
2.Kg1.
This would prevent the discovered check on the f-file.
Nimzovich's opponent did not find this, and Black went on to win the game.
The game was won and lost on the players' relative awareness of prophylactic moves.
The Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), is a pelagic schooling species of mackerel found on both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The species is also called Boston mackerel, or just mackerel.
The Atlantic Mackerel is by far the most common of the ten species of the family that are caught in British waters.
It is extremely common in huge shoals migrating towards the coast to feed on small fish and prawns during the summer.
Abundant in cold and temperate shelf areas, it forms large schools near the surface.
They overwinter in deeper waters but move closer to shore in spring when water temperatures range between 11° and 14°C.
In north-east Atlantic: North Sea (east) and British Isles (west).
The North Sea stock decreased dramatically in the 1960s because of direct overfishing.
Male and female Atlantic mackerel grow at about the same rate, reaching a maximum age of about 20 years and a maximum fork length of about 47 centimetres (19 in).
Most Atlantic mackerel are sexually mature by the age of three years.

On board the U.S.S. Brooklyn during successful attacks against Fort Morgan, rebel gunboats and the ram Tennessee in Mobile Bay, on 5 August 1864.
Despite severe damage to his ship and the loss of several men on board as enemy fire raked her decks from stem to stern, Dennis displayed outstanding skill and courage in operating the torpedo catcher and in assisting in working the bow chasers throughout the furious battle which resulted in the surrender of the prize rebel ram Tennessee and in the damaging and destruction of batteries at Fort Morgan.

The family has 20 species in eight genera.
Bowerbirds are most known for their unique courtship behaviour.
Males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly coloured objects.
The Vogelkop bowerbird is a good example.
The function of this courtship ritual is to attract a mate.
The bowerbirds have a "female choice" mating system.
The bowerbirds have an Austro-Papuan distribution, with ten species endemic in New Guinea, eight endemic to Australia and two found in both large islands.
Their distribution is mainly in the tropical parts of New Guinea and northern Australia, though some species extend into central, western and southeastern Australia.
They occupy a range of different habitats, including rainforest, eucalyptus and acacia forest, and shrublands.
The birds are medium to large-sized passerines, ranging from the golden bowerbird at  and  to the great bowerbird at  and .
Their diet consists mainly of fruit but may also include insects (especially for nestlings), flowers, nectar and leaves in some species.
The satin and spotted bowerbirds are sometimes regarded as pests because they feed on introduced fruit and vegetable crops.
They have occasionally been killed by affected farmers.

A One-time pad is a method of encryption.
It is a symmetrical cipher, which means the same key is needed for encryption and decryption.
A one time pad uses a key that is either as long or longer than the message it encrypts.
The key must only be used once, and after it is used, a new key must be generated and shared for the cipher to remain secure.
If this method is used correctly, it is impossible to decrypt or break the encryption without the key.
Failure to make and share random keys has led to successful cryptanalysis, as in the Venona project.
One-time pads were created all the way in 1882 by Frank Miller.
After the invention in 1917, Gilbert Vernam invented and patented an electronic version based on teleprinter technologies.
