The British and American governments hid the news about mustard gas and its effects on victims.
In 1943, during the Italian campaign, the port of Bari in southern Italy was important for Allied forces.
Ammunition, supplies, and provisions were unloaded from ships at the port, then moved to Allied forces.
Bari did not have good air defences.
No RAF fighters were based there.
There was not good anti-aircraft defences.
The Allies did not think the Germans could bomb Bari.
They thought that the Luftwaffe in Italy could not do a major attack.
Thirty ships of American, British, Polish, Norwegian and Dutch registry were in Bari Harbour on 2 December.
The port was lit on the night of the raid to help the unloading of supplies.
On the afternoon of 2 December, a Luftwaffe pilot flew over Bari.
His report made Albert Kesselring order the raid.
The Germans thought that destroying the port might slow the advance of the British Eighth Army.
Only 105 Ju 88 bombers were available.
The attack started at 19:25, when two or three German aircraft circled the harbour at .
They dropped Düppel  (foil strips) to confuse Allied radar.
The German bomber force surprised the Allies.
They bombed the harbour and its ships and many of the bombs hit targets.
Two ammunition ships were bombed.
A petrol pipeline was cut and the fuel caught fire.
The fire spread to many of the ships.
Twenty-eight merchant ships with more than  of cargo were sunk or destroyed.
Twelve more ships were damaged.
The port was closed for three weeks.
It was reopened in February 1944.
John Harvey
One of the destroyed vessels—the U.S. Liberty ship John Harvey—had been carrying a secret cargo of 2000 M47A1 mustard gas bombs.
Each held  of the chemical.
According to Royal Navy historian Stephen Roskill, the Mustard Gas had been sent to Europe to use if Germany used chemical warfare in Italy.
The destruction of John Harvey caused liquid sulfur mustard from the bombs to spill into waters.
The many sailors who had jumped into the water became covered with the chemical.
Within a day, symptoms of mustard poisoning had appeared in 628 patients and medical staff.
Symptoms included blindness and chemical burns.
Hundreds of Italian civilians also seeking treatment, who had been poisoned by sulfur mustard gas.
By the end of the month, 83 of the 628 hospitalized military victims had died.
Cover-up
There were too many witnesses to keep the secret.
In February 1944, the U.S. admitted to the accident.
They said they did not plan to use chemical weapons unless Germany used them first.

Nasi goreng is a traditional dish from Indonesia, a place in South East Asia.
It is a style of fried rice.
The name is Malay; nasi means "rice" and goreng means "fried or to fry".
It is also popular for late-night supper sold from street vendors.
It can be found almost anywhere in Indonesia.
It is also popular in Malaysia and Singapore.
There is no single recipe for nasi goreng, as there are various types.
The basic ingredients generally include: cooked rice, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), salt, garlic, chilli pepper, fried onions, carrot, egg and chicken.
Slices of cucumber, tomato, and lettuce are included for garnishing.
Eggs can be either mixed into fried rice in the beginning as scrambled eggs or served separately as fried eggs.
In general, acar – pickle made from vinegar preserved cucumber, carrot, shallots, and small chilli pepper – and krupuk – deep fried prawn crackers – are provided as side dishs.
The flavor of nasi goreng can vary depending on the region.
There are some variations, such as nasi goreng Bali which is cooked in Bali; nasi goreng seafood which includes shrimp, fish and squid, or nasi goreng satay which includes satay (seasoned and grilled skewered meat chunks with peanut sauce).
When cooking it, one may put anything that can harmonize with the taste.
Even though any ingredient can be added in nasi goreng, what cannot be taken out is the kecap manis.
Kecap manis is very crucial in the dish which gives the flavor to the nasi goreng.
It is what makes the taste of nasi goreng different from other Asian styles of fried rice.
Other sauces such as ikan asin (salted dried fish) and saus tiram (oyster sauce) can be added as well.
The spiciness of nasi goreng is decided by the amount of sambal (chilli sauce).
The sambal can be added during the cooking process or added individually while eating, depending on the preference.

A choco pie is a small snack cake made up of two small round layers of cake with marshmallow filling and a chocolate covering.
The origin of Choco Pie goes back to 1917 in the American South.
Chattanooga Bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee created the Moon pie with Graham crackers and marshmallow filling which is similar to the Choco Pie of nowadays.
Tongyang R&D, the snack company of South Korea, began selling a similar type of chocolate cake with marshmallow filling named 'Orion Choco Pie' in 1974.
A member of the company was inspired by a chocolate-coated cake in a restaurant in a hotel in the U.S. state of Georgia on a business trip.
After he got back to Korea, he made many experiment to make that kind of chocolate cake.
Finally, he created the Choco Pie as it is known to Koreans now.
Later, Tongyang R&D changed its name to Orion Confectionery because of the success of 'Orion Choco Pie'.
In addition, similar versions of Choco Pie were produced by Lotte Confectionary and Crown Confectionery.
From the 2000s, Orin Choco Pie has been exported all over the world.
A third of Orion’s profits is from outside Korea.
Orion has four major share markets- South Korea, China, Vietnam, and Russia.
Also it is exported to North Korea, and it is sometimes used as bonuses for North Korean workers.
Legal controversy
Although Orion firstly began to produce 'Choco Pie', Lotte Confectionary also named its product with the same name 'Choco Pie'.
Orion filed a lawsuit claiming ‘Choco Pie’ is its property, but it failed.
The court had them allow 'Choco Pie' as a common noun.
So there are three types of 'Choco Pie' from different companies, Orion, Lotte, and Crown.

Michael is an archangel in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic teachings.
Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, and Lutherans call him "Saint Michael the Archangel" or simply "Saint Michael".
Orthodox Christians call him the "Taxiarch Archangel Michael" or simply "Archangel Michael".
In Hebrew, Michael means "who is like God?".
The Book of Daniel speaks of Michael three times.
One time, it says he is a "great prince who stands up for the children of your people".
Jews saw Michael as their supporter.
They are normally not allowed to appeal to angels as a link between God and his people.
However, Michael became important in Jewish liturgy.
In the New Testament Michael leads God's armies against Satan's forces in the Book of Revelation.
During the war in heaven he defeats (wins against) Satan.
In the Epistle of Jude Michael is called "the archangel Michael".
Christian sanctuaries to Michael appeared in the 4th century.
He was first seen as a healing angel.
Later, Christians saw him as a protector (someone who defends and helps) and the leader of the army of God against the forces of evil.
By the 6th century, devotions to Archangel Michael were common both in the Eastern and Western Churches.
Over time, teachings on Michael began to change among Christians.

The Couesnon River () is a river.
It starts in the département of Mayenne in north-western France.
It forms an estuary at Mont-Saint-Michel.
Its last stretch is the border between the historical duchies of Normandy and Brittany.
In the past, its course changed often between two beds.
They are on the north and south of the Mont Saint-Michel.
In the end, it settled to the south bed.
This created (made) the saying "The Couesnon's madness placed Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy" (in french, "le couesnon en sa folie mit le Mont en Normandie"), as the mount is just to the Norman side of the river's mouth, now.
However, the administrative boundary which separates the two regions does not depend on the course of the river.
The border is about six kilometres west of the mount.
The Couesnon, the Sée and the Sélune form part of the complex water system of the bay of Mont Saint-Michel.
On one side, the tide brings lots of sediment.
This causes large sandbars within the river.
On the other side, the three rivers bring the sediment back to sea.
In the 20th century, the Couesnon was made into a canal.
This to reduced the erosion of its banks.
In 1969, a dam was built.
These changes, and the causeway linking Mont Saint-Michel to the mainland, have made mudflats.
The French built a bridge to replace the causeway.
It was finished in 2013.
This helped to remove the silt.

The Schwarzschild radius, or gravitational radius is the radius of a sphere that has certain properties: if all the mass of an object is compressed within this sphere, the escape speed from the surface of the sphere would equal the speed of light.
An example of an object smaller than its Schwarzschild radius is a black hole.
Once a stellar remnant collapses below this radius, light can no longer escape and the object is no longer visible.
It is a characteristic radius associated with every quantity of mass.
The Schwarzschild radius was named after the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild who calculated this exact solution for the theory of general relativity in 1916.
where the gravitational constant G is  N⋅m2/kg2, M is the mass of the object, and c is the speed of light which is 299,792,458 m/s.

The amygdala is an almond-shaped group of neurons.
These groups of neurons in the brain are called "nuclei".
The word amygdala comes from from the Greek word for almond.
The group of neurons is positioned in the temporal lobe of the brain.
The amygdala is divided into three different groups: the basolateral nuclei, the corticomedial nuclei, and the central nucleus.
The amygdala is related to the processing of emotions, especially fear.
It is connected to many other parts of the brain, including the hippocampus and cingulate gyrus.
Information from the sensory systems is also fed into the amygdala.
This information is fed mostly to the basolateral nuclei of the amygdala.

The Battle of Troina was a battle that happened between 31 July and 6 August 1943.
It was part of the Allied invasion of Sicily during World War II.
Forces of the United States II Corps, part of the U.S. Seventh Army, had violent battles around the town of Troina.
It is in the central portion of Sicily along the Caronie Mountains.
The battle was in the hills and mountains surrounding Troina.
The Germans had fortified positions.
They hid in these positions and fired weapons at the Allies
On 29 July 1943, after 20 days of fighting in Sicily, the Germans realized that the Allies would capture Sicily.
The Germans also realized that 80,000-100,000 American and British troops would break through the Etna Line.
The U.S. 7th Army commander, Lieutenant General George S. Patton Jr, had ordered the U.S. 1st and 9th Infantry Divisions to attack the city of Troina.
Troina was one of the main parts of the Etna Line.
It was defended by the 15th Panzer Grenadier Division commanded by Generalleutnant Eberhard Rodt.
It was also defended by four battalions of General di Divisione Giacomo Romano's 28 Infantry Division Aosta.
The Axis forces were in deep trenches.
The Battle of Troina began on 31 July, when the 39th Infantry Regiment advanced towards the Germans.
The Germans fought off the attack.
The Allies planned a bigger attack.
The 1st Infantry Division was put with troops from the 9th Division and a French Moroccan infantry battalion.
The Allies used 165 artillery pieces and Allied aircraft.
Over six days, the important hilltops were captured by the Allies, then recaptured by the Axis troops.
The 26th Infantry Regiment was ordered to capture Monte Basilio two miles north of the town.
From here, the regiment could stop the Axis troops from retreating.
For the next two days the men on Monte Basilio had to hide from Axis artillery fire.
The Germans left Troina later that night.
General Hube withdrew the damaged 15th Panzer Grenadier Division to Randazzo.
The Allies had broken through the Etna Line.
But the roads were filled with mines, so it was hard for the Allies to advance.
General Hube withdrew his XIV Panzer Corps toward Messina.
Patton tried to attack the 29th Panzer Grenadier Division again on 11 August.
He ordered Colonel Bernard to land his troops by sea at Brolo.
Bernard's men surprised the Germans.
However, Bernard did not have enough troops to beat the Germans.
Most of the 29th Panzer Grenadier Division escaped.

The Battle of Cisterna was a battle during World War II.
It happened on 30 January-2 February 1944 near Cisterna, Italy.
It was part of the battle of Anzio that followed Operation Shingle.
The battle was a clear German victory.
It really affected the US Rangers.
During this battle, many US Ranger groups were ordered to support an attack by the 3rd Infantry Division on Cisterna.
The 3rd Infantry Division  had tried to capture Cisterna on 25–27 January.
The 3rd Division's attack was part of a large attack by the U.S. VI Corps to move out of the Anzio beach.
The US VI Corps wanted to get off the Anzio beaches before new German troops could arrive and attack.
On 22 January 1944, the Allies launched Operation Shingle.
This was a sea landing of
U.S. and British troops near Anzio and Nettuno.
They wanted to attack the  German Gustav Line defences  to the southeast.
The Allies had been attacking from the south since 16 January in the first Battle of Monte Cassino.
Following the landings, the Allies built up their forces on the beach.
This also gave the Germans to strengthen their defensive positions.
By 29 January, there were 69,000 men in the beach.
The Germans had 71,500 troops to stop them.
On 30 January, the Allies attacked, going northeast toward Campoleone and the Alban Hills.
A Ranger force tried to sneak into Cisterna.
The Rangers expected to encounter few German troops.
In fact, they were moving towards a large enemy force.
The Rangers had had many dead and wounded.
New troops sent to replace the dead and wounded did not have experience or much training.
Many Ranger troops and the 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry tried to sneak behind German lines into the town of Cisterna.
They wanted to attack and capture the town until the main attack came.
As the two battalions tried to sneak into German territory, they were attacked by strong German forces.
They included the 715th Motorized Infantry Division and Herman Göring Panzer Division, including seventeen German Panzer IV tanks.
The 1st Battalion commander—Major Dobson—attacked one tank by shooting the commander with his pistol, and dropping a white phosphorus grenade into the tank.
Two other tanks were captured by Rangers.
In the end, the Germans won.
About 803 Allied troops did not return.
About 400 Rangers became POWs.
The Germans also had many losses.
Attempted relief of the Rangers
The main attack tried to rescue the trapped battalions.
The Allies captured some territory, but they could not get past the Germans and capture Cisterna.
Cisterna remained held by the German until May 1944.
German attacks on 1–2 February did not recapture any of the ground from the Allies.
The Germans had heavy losses in these attacks.
Using the lightly armed Rangers to lead the attack was criticized.
The weakened Ranger forces within Italy stopped operating.
Ranger units continued to fight in northern Europe (leading D-Day) and in the Pacific War.
The Battle of Wake Island was a battle during World War II.
It began at the same time as the Attack on Pearl Harbor.
It ended on 23 December 1941, with the surrender of the American forces to the Empire of Japan.
It was fought on and around the atoll formed by Wake Island.

First landing attempt
The U.S. Marines fired at the Japanese ships with their six 5 in 127mm coastal artillery guns.
They sunk Hayate at a distance of .
Yubari was hit 11 times.
The four Wildcats sunk another destroyer, Kisaragi, by dropping a bomb on her stern.
The Japanese force pulled back before landing.
This was the first Japanese defeat of the war.
Japanese air attacks on the Wake troops continued, without new supplies for the Americans.
The Japanese Navy sent two aircraft carriers ( and ) to support the second landing attempt.
USN relief attempt

The Second Battle of Guam (July 21 — August 10, 1944) was the capture of Guam by the United States from Japanese control.
Guam was a U.S. territory (in the Mariana Islands).
The battle was during the Pacific campaign of World War II.
Guam is the largest island of the Marianas.
It is 30 miles (48 km) long and 9 miles (14 km) wide.
It had been a United States island since its capture from Spain in 1898.
It was captured by the Japanese on December 10, 1941.
This was after the Attack on Pearl Harbor.
It was not as fortified as the other Mariana Islands, such as Saipan.
Guam was chosen as a target because it was big enough to be a base for the next attacks on the Philippines, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands.
The harbor at Apra could take the largest ships.
The two airfields were big enough for B-29 Superfortress bombers.
Guam is surrounded by reefs, cliffs, and heavy waves.
This makes Guam hard to attack.
On July 21, the Americans landed on both sides on the western side of Guam.
The 3rd Marine Division landed at 08:28.
The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade landed to the south.
Japanese artillery sank 20 Landing Ships.
The Americans had many dead and wounded.
By 09:00 men and tanks were on both beaches.
The 77th Infantry Division had to walk through the shallow water.
Japanese guns fired at them.
By nightfall the Americans controlled the beachs about 2,000 meters deep.
Japanese attacks were made throughout the first few days.
Supply was very difficult  for the Americans in the first days of the battle.
The attacks against the American beaches, as well as the violent fighting, had tired out the Japanese.
At the start of August they were running out of food and ammunition and had only a few tanks left.
Obata moved to the mountainous central and northern part of the island.
He could not get any more supplies or get new troops because of American control of the sea and air around Guam.
The Japanese refused to surrender, and almost all were killed.
On August 10, the US captured Guam.
The next day, Obata committed ritual suicide.
A few Japanese soldiers hid in the jungle.
On December 8, 1945, three U.S. Marines were killed.
On January 24, 1972, Sergeant Shoichi Yokoi was discovered by hunters.
He had lived alone in a cave for 27 years.
After the battle, Guam was turned into a base for Allied operations.
Five large airfields were built by the Seabees.
B-29 bombers flew from the island to attack targets in the Western Pacific and on mainland Japan.

The Western Allied invasion of Germany was an attack on Nazi Germany that was done by the Western Allies in the final months of the European War in World War II.
The invasion started with the Allies crossing the Rhine River.
Then they spread out and moved through western Germany.
The Germans surrendered on 8 May 1945.
This is known as the "Central Europe Campaign" in United States military histories.
By the early spring of 1945, the Allied forces in Europe were doing well.
On the Western Front the Allies had been fighting in Germany since the October Battle of Aachen.
By January, the Allies beat the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge.
The failure of this last major German attack took the last of Germany's strength.
The Germans could not do much to stop the final Allied attacks in Europe.
Additional losses in the Rhineland weakened the German Army, leaving few troops to defend the east bank of the Rhine.
By mid-March, the Allies had captured an intact bridge at Remagen.
They also defended the bridge on the river's east bank.
On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army had moved through Poland.
were nearing Berlin.
The Soviets also moved into Hungary and eastern Czechoslovakia.
These advances on the Eastern Front destroyed experienced German troop groups.
It also made it very hard for Adolf Hitler to strengthen his Rhine defenses.
Allied forces
At the very beginning of 1945, the Commander of the Allies, General Dwight D. Eisenhower had 73 divisions under his command in North-western Europe.
This included 49 infantry divisions, 20 armored divisions and four airborne divisions.
As the invasion of Germany started, Eisenhower had 90 divisions.
This included 25 armored divisions.
He had one of the largest forces in any war.
The Allied line along the Rhine stretched  from the North Sea to the Swiss border.
The Allies wanted to capture the industrial Ruhr area.
Facing the Allies was Oberbefehlshaber West ("Army Command West") commanded by Field Marshal Albert Kesselring.
Kesselring had shown he was good at defending land in the Italian Campaign.
But in Germany, he did not have the troops or weapons to make a good defense.
During the fighting west of the Rhine up to March 1945, the German Army on the western front had only 26 divisions.
Most of the troops were used against the Soviet forces.
The Germans had 214 divisions on the eastern front in April.
Eisenhower's plans
After capturing the Ruhr, Eisenhower planned to have 21st Army Group go east to Berlin.
Eisenhower began to change his plans toward the end of March.
He found out that Soviet forces held a bridge over the Oder River,  from Berlin.
He was worried the Soviets would capture Berlin before the western Allies.
In addition, he was worried about the Ruhr.
The Ruhr had many Axis troops and a lot of industries.
He was also worried about the "National Redoubt."
Some people said Hitler's most loyal troops were preparing to
American forces in the south were really fighting hard to win.
On 7 March, Lt.
Gen. Courtney H. Hodges's 1st Army had captured a bridge over the Rhine at Remagen.
To the south in the Saar-Palatinate region, Lt.
Gen. George S. Patton's 3rd Army had beaten the German 7th Army and the German 1st Army.
From 18–22 March, Patton's forces captured over 68,000 Germans.
Occupation process
When Allied soldiers arrived in a town, its leaders and residents used white flags to show that they wanted to surrender.
The Allied officer then took over the town.
Soldiers posted copies of Eisenhower's Proclamation No.
It was a poster that told Germans that they had to follow orders from Allied officers.
It also said people could not go out at night or travel.
It said Germans had to give all weapons to the Allies.
By the beginning of the Central Europe attacks, Allied victory in Europe was certain.
Hitler had tried to stop the Allies in the Ardennes offensive.
After losing this battle, Hitler had no strength left to stop the powerful Allied armies.
