Death Eaters are fictional characters in the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling.
They are characterized as evil wizards and witches who have allied themselves with Lord Voldemort in his efforts to take over the world, kill all witches and wizards born to non-magical parents for being "mudbloods" and enslave all non-magical beings as well as seeking to opress non-human magical creatures such as goblins and elves.
They believe that people of pure magical ancestry known as Pure-Bloods are superior to those of only partial magical ancestry, whom they call Half-Bloods.
Nonetheless not all Death Eaters are Pure-Blood.
Their leader Lord Voldemort originally known as Tom Riddle is Half-Blood because his father was not a wizard.
The Death Eater spy turned double agent Severus Snape is Half-Blood because even though his mother was a witch his father was not a wizard.
Fenrir Greyback is allowed to be a Death Eater even though he is a werewolf.
Hermione Granger observes that a lot of Death Eaters must be Half-Blood because there are too many for them all to be Pure-Blood.
In linguistics, declension is the changing of the form of a word.
This  shows its function in the sentence, by way of some inflection.
The inflectional change of verbs is called conjugation.
For example, in English, if there is more than one boy, the word must become boys.
For example, "My family has two girls and one boy, but my wife's family has two girls and three boys".
The form boy is singular, meaning there is only one of the noun, and the form boys is plural, meaning there is more than one of the noun.
You must know the noun's singular form if you want to find it in an English dictionary.
Also in English, a noun can change if it owns something.
For example, if a toy belongs to one boy, the toy is the boy's toy, but if it belongs to two or more boys, it becomes the boys' toy.
Both numbers of the noun have this word case, which is called the genitive case.
Word case is when a word form changes depending on what part of the sentence it is.
Grammatical gender is a way of organizing words in a language.
It is a way of deciding the inflection, or change in form, that a word has.
Some languages have grammatical gender, like Spanish and Arabic, but others do not, like Chinese, Japanese, and Estonian.
A word's gender decides how to say a word.
For example, the German word for man is masculine (der Mann), the word for woman is feminine (die Frau), and the word for girl is neuter (das Mädchen).
The gender of a word may not have connection with its biological sex in certain languages; it is instead a way to organize words grammatically.
Many Indo-European languages, like Russian, German, and Latin, still have all three genders.
Some Indo-European languages have lost the neuter gender and either replaced it or completely got rid of it.
In French, all singular nouns are either masculine (the boy "le garçon") or feminine (the girl "la fille"), but all plural nouns use the same articles (the boys "les garçons" and the girls "les filles").
In Spanish, there are only masculine and feminine nouns, but they are usually marked by a vowel at or near the end.
Most masculine nouns end with the vowel "-o", and most feminine nouns end with the vowel "-a".
For animate (living) nouns, the gender of the noun is always connected to its biological gender.
For example, a male dog is "perro", and a female dog is "perra".
If the gender is unknown, the noun is automatically masculine.
In plural forms, if at least one of the nouns is male, the plural noun must be masculine, even if most of the members are feminine, like in the friends "los amigos".
However, if all of the members of a plural noun are female, the plural noun is feminine, as in "las amigas".
English has three genders, but most nouns are not marked by gender.
However, the genders of pronouns must match the biological sex of animate nouns.
Males must be masculine, and females must be feminine.
All plural and inanimate (non-living) nouns must be neuter.
Some linguists call English's gender system to represent "natural gender".
In Chinese, words have no grammatical gender, but there are still three gendered pronouns.
The masculine pronoun is written as 他, the feminine is 她, and the neuter is 它.
Even though all three are written in a different Chinese character, they are all still pronounced exactly the same: "tā" in Mandarin.
That is why many Chinese learners of English do not use English pronouns correctly.
In some contexts, if the gender is unknown, the pronoun will be written in pinyin as "ta" even if the rest of the document is written in Chinese characters.
In Japanese, grammatical gender is not used since people are usually referred to by name and/or title, rather than a pronoun.
However, men and women are expected to use different pronouns.
For example, women are supposed to say "watakushi", "watashi", or "atashi" to speak in the first person, but men usually say "watashi" to speak politely and "boku" or "ore" to speak plainly.

A centerboard can be made from wood, plastic or metal.
On small boats today they are usually made from a type of plastic or fibreglass.

John Graves  Simcoe was a British General and politician.
Simcoe's father John Simcoe died of pneumonia shortly after the Battle of Quebec during the Seven Years War while serving in the Royal Navy.
To honour his late father, John Graves Simcoe enlisted as an Ensign in the British Army.
John Graves Simcoe was then sent to Boston in the 1770s on the eve of the American Revolution.
Simcoe fought for the British Empire against the Rebels during the Siege of Boston.
Simcoe was then promoted to captain.
Captain John Graves Simcoe then fought for the Empire against the Rebels in Pennsylvania in the Battle of Brandywine.
Rumour has it that at Brandywine Simcoe commanded his men not to shoot at a number of fleeing rebels one of whom was George Washington.
Simcoe wanted to raise a Black Loyalist regiment made entirely of freed slaves.
Instead, Simcoe was asked to replace Robert Rogers as the commander of the Queen's Rangers.
Lieutenant-Colonel John Graves Simcoe, Commander of the Queen's Rangers participated in several important battles of the Revolutionary War.
Simcoe was at one point captured by the French and later freed by the Rangers.
Simcoe also tried to expose Washington's Culper spy ring.
Simcoe was shot in the Battle of Yorktown and sent back to England where he wrote a history of the revolutionary war from a British perspective.
Simcoe got married to Elizabeth Posthuma Gwillim and he was elected to the House of Commons as a supporter of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger.
Simcoe supported banning the slave trade and having Warren Hastings removed from his position as Governor of India.
Simcoe also voted in favour of the Constitutional Act of 1791 which split Quebec into two provinces called Upper Canada and Lower Canada.
Simcoe offered to lead the British in their war with Spain but instead he was named Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada.
Simcoe was opposed to slavery and wanted to get rid of it.
Because Simcoe wanted to abolish slavery a group of Upper Canadians sold a woman named Chloe Cooley to Americans and forcibly dragged her onto a boat to the United States of America.
Simcoe was horrified by the Chloe Cooley Incident and used it to justify abolishing slavery.
Simcoe said " The principles of the British Constitution are fundamentally at odds to that vile practice of slavery which Christianity condemns, when I assume the governorship of Upper Canada I shall never allow discrimination by dishonest practice against those of African, Indian or American descent."
Because a number of people in the Legislative Assembly were slaveowners Simcoe wasn't able to ban Slavery outright.
Instead Simcoe issued An Act to Prevent the Further Introduction of Slaves also known as the Act to Limit Slavery which said that from now on one who was born in Upper Canada could not be born a slave and it became illegal to buy or sell slaves.
Since there were not that many slaves in Upper Canada Simcoe's law abolished slavery within his own lifetime.
After that a lot of slaves fled the United States to Upper Canada where they would be free to escape giving rise to what became known as the Underground Railroad.

The Battle of Aqaba was a major battle during World War I. It was fought on July 6, 1917 between the Ottoman Empire and Arab Revolt, who part of the Central Powers and Allied Powers in the same order.
The city of Aqaba, Jordan was an important coastal city and port controlled by the Ottomans.
Even though the city was heavily defended on the coast, there was little defense inland.
This was because the Ottomans thought the Arabian Desert outside the city was impossible to cross.
Led by Arab chief Auda Abu Tayi and British officer T. E. Laurence, the Arab Revolt marched across the Arabian Desert to Aqaba.
This surprised the Ottomans and the Arab Revolt captured the city.
The Arab Revolt were Arab tribes who fought against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Since the British Empire was also fighting against the Ottomans, they gave the Arabs military support.
Many of the Arab Revolt wanted to create a unified country for Arabs.
However, this did not come true and the Arab world would be instead be made into many different countries.
The Pahumara River is a river in the Barpeta district of Assam in India.
It is located at latitude 26° 17'0" and longitude 26°17'0".
It is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River.
Frequent rains in monsoon season often make the Pahumara river flood in many places, such as paddy fields (underwater fields for growing rice) and roads in the Bahari sub-division of the Barpeta district.
During this time the river is quite dangerous.
Sometimes the river floods when the Kurichhu hydroelectric plant in Bhutan opens its dam.
The Allied Powers of World War I were the countries who fought against the Central Powers in World War I. Major countries included the British Empire, France, the Russian Empire, the United States, Italy, and Japan.
Most of these countries would fight alongside each other again in World War II, except that Italy and Japan would fight alongside Germany instead.
The Allied Powers in Europe were already allies before the war began.
Serbia was an ally of Russia, and Russia was an ally of Britain and France.
The war started because the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia in 1914, which led to a chain reaction of countries declaring war on each other.
At first, the United States was neutral, it was not part of either side.
However, after several acts made by Germany against the US, the US declared war on Germany in 1917 and would fight for the Allied Powers.
Russia's campaign against the Central Powers went very poorly.
Many Russian soldiers were poorly equipped and trained, many Russians were killed, and poverty and starvation became worse problems than before.
Many Russians blamed Czar Nicholas II's poor leadership for Russia's problems, so he was overthrown and sent to exile.
The Russian Provisional Government who replaced him also made many Russians upset because they promised that Russia would continue fighting the war.
After the March Revolution that overthrew the Czar, communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin made a deal with Germany.
The deal was that he would stop the fighting between Russia and Germany if they sent him to Russia to overthrow the government.
Lenin's slogan for his communist government was "peace, land, and bread".
This meant that the communist government promised no more fighting in the war, land redistribution so that everyone in Russia could have an equal amount of property, and that food would be plentiful.
After the Communist Party took over Russia in the October Revolution, they fulfilled their promise to Germany and ended Russia's fighting in the war.
In World War II, Italy would join Germany in the Axis Powers because its leader, Benito Mussolini, had a similar ideology to Nazism.
Japan was disappointed with the end of World War I because it did not gain as much as it wanted.
Japan would also join the Axis Powers because it thought it would help the Japanese Empire grow faster than if it did with the Allies.

The Tower of Babel (, Migdal Bavel) story in Genesis 11:1–9 is an origin myth meant to explain why the world's peoples speak different languages.
According to the story, a united humanity in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating westward, comes to the land of Shinar ().
There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven.
God, observing their city and tower, felt and insulted and confused the humans so that they can no longer understand each other.
He then scatters them around the world.
Some modern scholars have associated the Tower of Babel with known structures, notably the Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Marduk in Babylon.
A Sumerian story with some similar elements is told in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta.
Standard German, High German, or Standard High German, (, , or in Swiss Standard German ), is the standardized variety of the German language used in formal occasions, and for communication between different dialect areas.
It has three specific regional variants: German Standard German, Austrian Standard German, and Swiss Standard German.
History of the German language
Standard language
The phonology of Standard German is the standard pronunciation or accent of the German language.
It deals with current phonology and phonetics as well as with historical developments thereof as well as the geographical variants and the influence of German dialects.
Single vowels
Vowel combos
German has 25 phonemes, which is average among other languages.
One of its more unique sounds is the unusual affricate .
Ich-Laut and ach-Laut
'' is the voiceless palatal fricative  (found in the word   'I'), and  is the voiceless velar fricative  (as in   the interjection 'oh', 'alas').
is the German word for 'sound, phone'.
In German, these two sounds are allophones occurring in complementary distribution.
The allophone  occurs after back vowels and  (for instance in   'book'), the allophone  after front vowels (for instance in   'me/myself') and consonants (for instance in   'fear',   'sometimes'). (
This happens most regularly: if the  in  is pronounced as a consonant,  represents ; however if, as often happens, it is vocalized as , resembling the vowel , then  may represent , yielding .)

The Abyssinia Crisis happened in 1935.
It started with the Walwal incident, a conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Ethiopia (then commonly known as "Abyssinia").
The League of Nations said Italy could not intervene and voted to punish Italy's economy.
But the League did not follow through, and Italy quit the League, made special deals with Britain and France and invaded Abyssinia.
The crisis made the League look bad, and made Fascist Italy closer friends with Nazi Germany.
Both Italy and Ethiopia did not like each other.
The League of Nations said:At places where there is not a single Italian national, a consul establishes himself in an area known as consular territory with a guard of about ninety men, for whom he claims jurisdictional immunity.
The abuse is all the greater that the consul's duties, apart from the supplying of information of a military character, take the form of assembling stocks of arms, which constitute a threat to the peace of the country, whether from the internal or the international point of view.

Yehud Medinata (Aramaic for the State of Judah), or simply Yehud, was part of the Persian Achaemenid Empire.
It was within the satrapy of Eber-Nari.
It was roughly like the older kingdom of Judah but had less land.
The area of Yehud Medinata is roughly the same as the previous Babylonian province of Yehud, which was created after the kingdom of Judah was invaded by the Neo-Babylonian Empire (c. 597).
Exact times for Babylonian and Persian rule do not have complete agreement.
Other dates are plausible.

The Jimi system () is a way to organize the government to rule over far-away foreign lands.
It uses barbarians to rule over barbarians or the people you conquered to rule over the people you conquered.
It was used in China between the 7th century and 10th century.
It was used during the Tang Dynasty from 650s-740s.
It was also used in the Song, Mongol Yuan, Ming dynasties.
But then it was also called the Tusi system ().
It ended around 1726.
Then the Qing dynasty created a new system.
The term "Jimi" was first seen in the annotation of Shiji quoted by Sima Zhen in a book from the Eastern Han era.
It means that a man uses a reign to lead a horse.
Jimi roughly translates as "loose reigns".
It was an indirect way to rule over people.
China back then often conquered foreign lands.
For example when China would conquer barbarians in the north, it would gain a lot of land.
How does China govern so much land?
They needed a way to govern these foreigners (or "barbarians").
China tells one of the barbarians they conquered to rule over the land for them.
That ruler would have to follow orders from China, pay money, and help with China's military.
This is Jimi.
The jimi ruler would received instructions from the central authorities in China.
They would pass their power to their first sons.
Each year they would pay money to China (tribute).
They helped with China's military.
There were three levels: the command (, like the central government), prefecture (, like a state) and county ().
Together these were known as jimi fuzhou.
The Tang conquered the Gokturks and made two jimi governments (duhufu 都護府) in 658.
They were around the Tarbagatai Mountains and Lake Balkhash.
Sometimes the term was applied to military camps created within Tang China.

The Arab Winter started in 2014 and happened four years after after the Arab Spring.
It includes civil wars, mounting regional instability, economic and demographic decline of Arab countries, and ethno-religious wars.
By the summer of 2014, the Arab Winter had resulted in nearly a quarter of a million deaths and millions of refugees.
Perhaps the most significant event was the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from 2014 to the present.

Chinese professor Zhang Weiwei first predicted an "Arab Winter" in his June 2011 debate with Francis Fukuyama. "
My understanding of the Middle East leads me to conclude that the west should not be too happy.
It will bring enormous problems to American interest.
It is called "Arab Spring" for now, and I guess it will soon turn to be the winter for the Middle East."
In early 2016, The Economist said the Winter was ongoing and "worse than ever".
According to the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, as of January 2014, the Arab Winter cost the Arab League $800 billion USD.
In 2014, sixteen million people in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon were expected to need help.
There is chaos and violence.
So many people fled the Middle East and North Africa to Europe, it has resulted in the European migrant crisis.
As a result, "boat-people", which was once commonly referred to Vietnamese boat people, became frequently used.
These include refugees from Libya or Tunisia, escaping to the European Union across the Mediterranean Sea.
Some European politicians fear the migrants might "flood" their shores.
So many Europeans are working on laws to help manage the arrivals along their nations' borders.

That is the average length of the year in the Julian calendar used in Western societies in previous centuries, and for which the unit is named.
Nevertheless, because a Julian year measures duration rather than designates date, the Julian year does not correspond to years in the Julian calendar or any other calendar.
Nor does it correspond to the many other ways of defining a year (for which, see Year'').
It is also not connected to the Julian day used in astronomy.
