He later played a part in developing two important American military weapons.
These were the M1903 Springfield rifle and the M1911 pistol.
In 1916 Auto-Ordnance was started with Thompson holding the majority of shares.
Designed for use in World War I, the gun was first called "The Annihilator I" (Thompson nicknamed it a trench broom) could fire 20 rounds per second.
The first cases of the new submachine gun arrived on the docks for shipment on November 11, 1918; the same day the war ended.
Thompson and Auto-Ordnance began developing the gun for civilian markets.
In 1921 the first model, called the M1921, was produced.
After World War I
In 1921, the Colt Patent Firearms Company made 15,000 Thompson submachine guns for Auto-Ordinance at a cost of $38.25 each.
These were called the “Model 1921A”.
This model weighed  and had an effective range (distance it was accurate) of .
General Thompson tried to sell his gun to European countries with little success.
He tried selling it in the US but sales were slow.
In 1926 he got orders from the United States Postal Service and the United States Marine Corps.
The Marines used the guns during the Banana Wars.
It worked well to counter ambushes by Nicaraguan guerrillas.
The Irish Republican Army used them in 1921 during the last part of the Irish War of Independence.
They were not impressed by the fact they could only kill about 32 percent of those they fired at.
Others who bought his submachine gun included Law enforcement agencies and ranchers.
Organized crime quickly found uses for the gun.
Later, the United States Navy ordered 1,500.
The US military began using the weapon in 1938 and used it throughout World War II.
There were two variants used.
The model M1928A1 could use either stick or drum magazines, it had a muzzle brake (to counter the gun's tendency to rise when fired) and had Cooling fins (to counter the barrel of the gun getting too hot).
The M1A1 model had no cooling fins, could only use the stick magazines and had a simplified sight.
It was used by all the allies during the war.
The main problem of the Thompson submachine gun was it was complex and expensive to manufacture.
It was also heavy at about  loaded.
It had to be kept very clean or it would misfire.
But soldiers liked the weapon.
It was a favorite of British and Australian soldiers.
In the US military it was carried by squad leaders and officers.
In the heavy jungles in the Pacific War, it sounded dangerously like the Japanese light machine guns causing some confusion on both sides.
When the US developed the M3 submachine gun, also called the "grease gun", it was much lighter, cheaper to make and had a slower rate of fire.
Most soldiers who had Thompsons were very slow to give them up in favor of the less well-liked grease gun.
It was used during the Korean War and later during the Vietnam War.
The Thompson submachine gun was retired in 1971 after 33 years of service.
Other militaries
The Thompson was used in the Arab–Israeli conflict, the Cuban Revolution and in the Northern Ireland conflict (1969–1998.
The gun continues to be produced today, with many countries around the world still using it.
Over 1,700,000 Thompson submachine guns have been made.

The .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) or 45 Auto (11.43×23mm) is a type of bullet, made to be used in the M1911 pistol used by the U.S. Military.
It was first made by John Browning in 1904, the "ACP" in the name stands for "Automatic Colt Pistol".
It was the standard for handguns in the U.S. military until they switched to the Beretta M9 (Beretta 92) in 1985 that used a smaller caliber 9mm bullet.
The .45 is famous for being the bullet used in the M1911 and for being the choice of the U.S. Military for their pistols for almost 75 years.
The .45 ACP has good stopping power because of the large size of the bullet, a .45 ACP bullet is almost half an inch.
When shot at human targets, the .45 ACP bullet makes a big hole that causes blood loss and leads to faster death.
John Jenkins (1592–1678) was an English composer.
He became famous for writing music for small groups for amateurs and gentlemen to perform in their houses.

About 800 of his works have survived.
Minik Wallace (also called Mene ; about 1890 – 29 October 1918) was an Inuit from Greenland.
He was brought to New York City as a child in 1897, by the explorer Robert Peary.
His father and four others were also brought.
The six of them were studied by staff at the American Museum of Natural History, which was given custody of them.
Most of them died soon after arriving.
Minik was a member of the Inughuit, the northernmost group of Inuit in Greenland.
His father was named Qisuk.
They met Peary when the explorer employed men from the Inughuit during several expeditions into the Arctic.
Peary asked some of them to come with him to New York.
Six of them agreed, including Qisuk and Minik.
Peary did not tell them about the real purpose of the trip.
Some agreed to travel to see new places; others did not want to be separated from relatives.
Peary promised them that they would be able to return to Greenland.
Soon after their arrival, the group became the objects of study.
The museum staff had not made plans for their care, nor for their return.
Soon after arriving in New York, most of the Inuit contracted the disease tuberculosis.
Three adults and one child died, including Minik's father.
A fourth adult survived and was returned to Greenland.
Minik was the only one left.
William Wallace, the curator of the museum, adopted Minik.
Minik pleaded for a proper Inuit burial for his father.
The museum staff wanted to preserve Qisuk's body for study.
They made a fake body and put it in a coffin.
They staged a fake burial so that Minik would think he was burying his father.
The museum put the skeleton on display.
In about 1906, a story was published in local newspapers that stated Qisuk's skeleton was displayed in the museum.
Minik was told about it by his classmates at school.
He then asked that his father's bones be given to him for traditional burial.
Wallace supported Minik in this, but the museum denied that they had the body.
Minik was never able to reclaim his father's bones.
Minik returned to Greenland in 1910, with the help of Peary.
He came back to the United States in 1916.
He lived and worked there until dying of influenza in the pandemic of 1918.
Kenn Harper wrote a book about Minik in 1986.
The book was called Give Me My Father's Body.
Harper spent several years trying to persuade the Museum of Natural History to return the remains of the four Inuit to Greenland.
He succeeded in 1993.
The bodies were buried in a funeral in Qaanaaq.
Minik is buried in a cemetery in Pittsburg, New Hampshire.

A social spider is a species of spider which lives in a group.
Most spiders are solitary, but a few species in tropical habitats live in large groups.
This social organisation has evolved independently a number of times.
At least 23 species in eight families are known.
These spiders have not developed a caste system, and so they are not classed as eusocial.
The first one was discovered over a century ago by Eugène Simon (30 April 1848 – 17 November 1924).
This French naturalist described over 4,000 species of spider.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathes and protects the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord). "
Cerebro" means "brain"; "spinal" is a short version of "spinal cord"; and fluid is a liquid.
CSF flows through the subarachnoid space – the space between the two layers of meninges that are closest to the brain (the arachnoid layer and the pia mater).
CSF also fills the brain's ventricles, and flows down the middle of the spinal cord (the central canal).
CSF is created from blood plasma (the liquid part of blood), so CSF's contents are very similar to plasma's.
CSF is 99% water.
It carries:
Protein (though much less than plasma carries)
Glucose (sugar)
Neurotransmitters (chemical messengers)
Electrolytes (salts), like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride.
There should be very few white blood cells in the CSF, or none at all.
There should be no red blood cells in the CSF.
What CSF does
CSF helps the brain float
Being surrounded by CSF helps the brain float inside the skull, like a buoy in water.
Because the brain is surrounded by fluid, it floats like it weighs only 2% of what it really does.
If the brain did not have CSF to float in, it would sit on the bottom of the skull.
The brain's weight would push the bottom of the brain against the skull.
Blood would not be able to get to the bottom of the brain because the blood vessels would be getting crushed by the weight of the brain on top of them.
Without getting blood (and the oxygen it carries), the neurons in the bottom of the brain would die.
CSF is the brain's cushion
CSF protects the brain by acting like a cushion.
Without CSF, every time a person moved their head, their brain would hit the inside of their skull.
This could injure the brain.
When a person hits their head, CSF acts like the airbag in a car and can sometimes keep the brain from slamming into the inside of the skull.
However, when a person hits their head very hard – in a car accident, for example – the CSF cannot protect the brain from hitting the skull.
This can cause concussions, bleeding in the brain, brain damage, or even death.
CSF rinses toxins out of the brain
The brain's cells do chemical reactions to change one chemical to another chemical that the brain needs.
Sometimes, after a chemical reaction, chemicals that the brain does not need are left over.
These chemicals are called "waste products."
For example, when the brain's cells use oxygen and glucose (sugar) to create energy, carbon dioxide (CO2) is left over.
Too much carbon dioxide can poison the brain.
To keep waste products from building up in the CSF, the choroid plexuses make new CSF about four times a day.
The old CSF drains out into the bloodstream, bringing waste products and toxins with it.
In this way, the CSF rinses things that could hurt the brain out into the bloodstream.
The bloodstream can then carry these chemicals to organs that can get rid of them, like the kidneys and the lungs.
For example, the bloodstream carries carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it can be breathed out.
Testing CSF
Doctors can use samples of CSF to find out if a person has a brain infection, like meningitis, encephalitis, or syphilis.
CSF samples can also show bleeding from certain parts of the brain.
Swelling in the brain, caused by some inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis, can show in a CSF sample as well.
CSF that is cloudy, yellow, or pink
More protein in the CSF than normal
More white blood cells in the CSF than normal
Less glucose (sugar) in the CSF than normal
Bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other pathogens in the CSF
Protein levels that are higher than normal can be a sign of inflammation in the brain.
However, they can also be a sign of other problems, like a bleed in the brain; a brain tumor; epilepsy; and "acute alcoholism."
Problems with CSF
Head injuries and some diseases can make too much CSF build up in the brain.
This is called hydrocephalus.
The extra fluid puts pressure on (squeezes) the brain.
This is called increased intracranial pressure.
If the pressure gets high enough, the brain's blood vessels get crushed, and blood cannot get to the brain.
If a person's brain does not get enough blood and oxygen, they will become unconscious and their brain cells will die.
Eventually, the person will die.
Without treatment, 6 out of every 10 people with hydrocephalus will die.
The rest will have physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and/or other brain problems.
Some problems can cause CSF to leak out through a hole or tear in the dura mater (the layer of the meninges that is next to the skull and the bones of the spinal cord).
CSF leaks are usually a complication of a lumbar puncture or certain kinds of surgery on the head, neck, or brain.
However, an injury to the head or spine can also cause a CSF leak.
Sometimes, doctors cannot find a cause for a CSF leak.
Most people with CSF leaks get better on their own, after the hole in the dura mater heals.
However, some CSF leaks can cause serious complications:
Bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens can get in through the same hole CSF is leaking out of.
This can cause brain infections like meningitis.
Without enough CSF to float in, the brain sits on the bottom of the skull.
The brain's weight can:
Crush the blood vessels in the bottom of the brain
Press on the brainstem, causing very low blood pressure
Push the brain down through the hole in the bottom of the skull, where the brainstem turns into the spinal cord.
This can cause paralysis, brain damage, coma, and death.

Among the provisions are the right to a lawyer, the right to a speedy public trial and the right to an impartial jury.
It gives defendants the right to know who his (or her) accusers are.
It also give the defendant the right to know the charges and evidence against him.
To counsel
One of the most important rights given is that to legal counsel.
It is so important that another right is associated with it.
All those who cannot afford to pay for legal assistance will have a lawyer appointed for them at government expense.
The federal, state and local justice systems all have provisions to appoint legal counsel for indigent defendants.
The appointed counsel assists the defendant in any interrogations by law enforcement.
They assist the defendant through the trial phase, sentencing and the initial appeal if there is a conviction.
Legal systems, including the U.S. legal system, are complex and not easily understood by the average person.
Having an attorney is critical to guiding the defendant through the legal processes.
An attorney advises his client, the defendant, as to his or her rights and explains all processes of the criminal proceedings.
The attorney protects the defendant's Constitutional rights.
An attorney also can negotiate with the prosecution and the court in cases of plea bargains.
The right to a speedy trail originated with the Assize of Clarendon in 1166.
It says that justice must be provided to robbers, murders, and thieves "speedily enough."
Those who wrote the Bill of Rights did not want defendants to be prisoners for a long time without the benefit of a trial.
They did not want the accused to have their life disrupted, especially when the Fifth and Sixth Amendments both hold a presumption of innocence.
Also, the longer a trial is delayed, the more likely that evidence may be lost and that witnesses may forget or cannot be found.
A right to a speedy trial does not begin until a person has been arrested or formally charged.
The government may investigate a crime (within any applicable statute of limitations) for as long as they find it is necessary.
They are under no obligation to bring an indictment within a certain period of time.
The prosecution may drop any pending criminal charges and open the investigation again at a later time without penalty of the Sixth Amendment.
If a defendant brings a claim that their speedy trial rights have been violated the court may look at the reasons for the delay, any prejudice or injury to the defendant and how far the prosecution has gone into the criminal proceedings.
If a defendant does not assert the right to a speedy trial early enough, they may lose their claim.
Defendants who cause unnecessary delays also lose their rights to a speedy trial claim.
If the delay in bringing a defendant to trial exceeds one year following the arrest, this will trigger a presumption that the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial may have been violated.
The government may counter if they have good or plausible reasons for the delay.
Requests by the prosecution for additional time may be granted if plausible.
But if none are offered or the court finds the reasons not plausible, they may dismiss the indictment, overturn a conviction or hear other remedies the defense might seek.
Public trial
This right, to a public trial, has its roots in English common law.
It reflects the hostility and suspicion felt at the time towards secret proceedings such as the Spanish Inquisition, the French Lettre de cachet or England's Star Chamber.
The framers of the Bill of Rights believed that public trials would help prevent corruption in judges and prosecutors.
It was also thought it might reduce witnesses committing perjury.
The United States Supreme Court has held that the right to a public trial applies to federal, state, and local governments.
The right is not absolute however.
While the public and the press have a First Amendment interest in open proceedings, under some circumstances a defendant waive his rights to a public trial.
In cases where undue publicity might hurt the defendant's case, public access to the trial can be restricted.
Impartial jury
The right to a jury has always depended on the nature of the offense with which the defendant is charged.
Petty offenses—those punishable by imprisonment for no more than six months—are not covered by the jury requirement.
Even where multiple petty offenses are concerned, the total time of imprisonment possibly exceeding six months, the right to a jury trial does not exist.
Also, in the United States, except for serious offenses (such as murder), minors are usually tried in a juvenile court, which lessens the sentence allowed, but forfeits the right to a jury.
Originally, the Supreme Court held that the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial indicated a right to “a trial by jury as understood and applied at common law.
This includes all the essential elements as they were recognized in this country and England when the Constitution was adopted.
Therefore, it was held that juries had to be composed of twelve persons and that verdicts had to be unanimous, as was customary in England.
When, under the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court extended the right to a trial by jury to defendants in state courts, it re-examined some of the standards.
It has been held that twelve came to be the number of jurors by "historical accident," and that a jury of six would be sufficient, but anything less would deprive the defendant of a right to trial by jury.
The Sixth Amendment requires unanimity in a federal jury trial.
However, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, while requiring states to provide jury trials for serious crimes, does not incorporate all the elements of a jury trial within the meaning of the Sixth Amendment.
Thus, states are not mandated to require jury unanimity.
Confront witnesses
The Sixth Amendment's confrontational clause grants the defendant the right to face their accusers.
It allows the defense to dispute the testimony given by prosecution witnesses.
It also allows the jury the opportunity to decide if a witness is being dishonest in any way.
This applies to statements made in court and out of court statements.
A court may prevent repeated questioning of witnesses on the same question or harassing a witness.
But if a judge restricts the cross-examination of a witness too severely, it may cause a violation of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses.
Admitting out of court statements, often called hearsay evidence, may also prevent a defendant from confronting his accusers.
For example, if a witness is unavailable and testified against the defendant in previous judicial proceedings, and the defendant was able to cross-examine the witness, a transcript of the testimony may be used as evidence.
In a criminal trial the trier of fact, also called the finder of fact, is the person or persons responsible for deciding the factual issues.
This is also called a finding of fact.
In a jury trial the trier of fact is the jury.
If there is no jury, the trier of fact is the judge.
In many types of hearings the trier of fact may be an administrative law judge, a board, commission, or referee.
Trier of fact is now considered an older term.
The term "finder of fact" has come into use more recently.
Once the trier of fact determines what is assumed to be the truth of a matter, then legal rules are applied to those facts.
A judge instructs a jury about the legal rules applying to the case.
These instructions include what the findings may be.
For example the jury may find for the plantiff or the jury may find for the defendant.

Dalian () is an important port city in the Liaoning province of China.
It is located on the Liaodong Peninsula.
It is the northernmost warm water port in China as well as the southernmost city in Northeast China.
The name of the city translates into "Great Link", due to its strategic location on the coast of the East China Sea since it is used for trade with countries like Russia, the North and South Korea, and Japan.
Because the port can be used all year, the Russian Empire took control of it in 1898 and built the Trans-Siberian railway to Dailan.
The Empire of Japan later took it away from Russia.

Toxic exposure means that a toxin (poison) touched or got into a person's body.
That person has been exposed to the toxin.
After a person is exposed to a toxin, many different things about that person, the toxin, and the exposure affect toxicity.
Toxicity is how the person reacts to the toxin, including what symptoms they may have.
A person can get exposed to a toxin accidentally or on purpose.
People can also use toxins as weapons to try to kill other people (for example, during chemical or biological warfare).
Anything can be a toxin
Anything can be a toxin if enough of it gets into a person's body.
For example, even water can be toxic.
If a person drinks enough water (usually more than 6 gallons in one day), they can get water toxicity (also called "water poisoning" or "water intoxication").
This causes the body's cells to swell up with extra water.
Swelling in the brain's cells can cause brain damage or death.
Water, in normal amounts, helps keep us alive; but if a person is exposed to enough of it, it becomes a toxin, and it can kill the person.
Types of exposure
An acute exposure happens only one time.
Chronic exposure happens many times, over a long period of time.
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines these types of exposure this way:p.
An acute exposure lasts 24 hours or less
A chronic exposure lasts for more than three months
Routes of exposure
Toxins can get into the body in four different ways.
These are called "routes of exposure."
The route of exposure is one of the many things that affects toxicity.
Toxins can get into the body through inhalation (the person breathes in the toxin).
If a toxin is a gas, inhalation is usually the way it gets into the body.p.
When a toxin is inhaled, it may injure the airways and the lungs.
Also, some toxins can go from the lungs into the bloodstream.
The bloodstream then delivers blood - with the toxin in it - to all of the organs in the body.
The toxin can then damage those organs.p.
Inhalation is one of the easiest and fastest ways for toxins to get into the body.
The lining of the respiratory tract absorbs toxins into the bloodstream very quickly.p.
Examples of inhaled toxins
An example of a commonly inhaled toxin is cigarette smoke.
There are over 100 toxins in cigarette smoke, including formaldehyde, arsenic, and hydrogen cyanide.
Smoking is also an example of chronic toxic exposure.
The exposure is chronic because the smoker is breathing in toxins many times, over a long period of time.
Another inhaled toxin that causes acute exposure is smoke from house fires.
There are many toxins in this kind of smoke, including carbon monoxide and cyanide.
Firefighters or people who were trapped in fires can get cyanide poisoning or carbon monoxide poisoning from breathing in these toxins.
This is an example of an acute exposure, because the smoke was not breathed in for more than 24 hours.
If a toxin gets in a person's eyes or on their skin, it can get taken up into the bloodstream.
This is called absorption.
Absorption through the skin is the most common route of toxic exposure.p.
The skin is able to keep some toxins from getting into the body.
However, if a person has a cut or wound on their skin, any toxin will be able to get into the body through that wound.
Also, the toxin will be taken up into the bloodstream more quickly, because it does not have to get absorbed through the skin.p.
Examples of absorbed toxins
Exposure by absorption often happens in workplaces where people work with toxins.
For example, if a person who works at a gas station spills gasoline on himself, the body will quickly absorb the gasoline into the bloodstream.p.
98  Some chemical weapons like sarin, a nerve gas, can also be absorbed through the skin and the eyes, along with being inhaled.
Ingestion means that a person swallowed the toxin.
Some chemicals cannot get into the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract.
However, others are absorbed through the lining of the intestinal tract into the bloodstream.p.
Examples of ingested toxins
Ingestion of toxins is very common in developing countries, where many people do not have safe drinking water.
There are many different toxins that can be carried in water.
They can be chemicals, like lead.
They can also be biological toxins, like the bacteria that causes cholera, and the viruses that cause Hepatitis A and polio.
People ingest these toxins by drinking the contaminated water, or eating food made with the water.
The World Health Organization says that about 502,000 people die every year because of toxins in water and the diseases they cause.
Food poisoning is also caused by ingestion of toxins, like E. coli bacteria, which can live in foods like meat and poultry.
An injected toxin gets into the body when something carrying the toxin breaks the skin.
Injections can go into a vein, a muscle, or just under the skin.
Toxins that are injected into a vein have the fastest effects, because the toxin is being put right into the bloodstream.p.
Examples of injected toxins
Some snakes, scorpions, and spiders carry venom.
If they bite or sting a person, they are injecting that toxin into the person's body.
An example of a toxin which is often injected on purpose is Botulinum.
This is a very deadly toxin that causes botulism, but it is also sold under the name "Botox."
Many people choose to get Botulinum toxin injected into their faces to get rid of wrinkles.
The toxin paralyzes some of the muscles in the face, usually for three to 12 months, and makes the face look smoother.
More than one route
Some toxins can get into the body through more than one route of exposure.
