Secret World War II Chemical Experiments Tested Troops By Race

When officers led him and a dozen others into a wooden gas chamber and locked the door, he didn't complain. "It felt like you were on fire," recalls Edwards, now 93 years old. This is Part 1 of a two-part investigation on mustard gas testing conducted by the U.S. military during World War II. Edwards was one of 60,000 enlisted men enrolled in a once-secret government program — formally declassified in 1993 — to test mustard gas and other chemical agents on American troops.

American and British English spelling differences

Historical origins[edit] Extract from the Orthography section of the first edition (1828) of Webster's ADEL, the root of many American vs. British English differences: -re, -er (6); -our, -or (7); Dropped e (8); -or vs. -er (10); -ce, -se (11); doubling consonants with suffix (15) American medical text from 1814 showing the British English spellings still used at the time, such as "tumours", "colour", and "centres". In the early 18th century, English spelling was not standardised. Webster was a strong proponent of English spelling reform for reasons both philological and nationalistic. The spelling systems of most Commonwealth countries and Ireland, for the most part, closely resemble the British system.

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2013: 1-50

Restaurants in France and the US dominated the top 50 - each country has six representatives on the list – but the growing gastronomic influence of countries in South America and Asia is clear with new entries from a number of nations including China and Peru. However the top story from the night was undoubtedly the trio of Roca brothers knocking René Redzepi’s Noma off its long-held number one spot. The same three UK restaurants which were present on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2012 were also the only British venues to make the top 50 this time around, however there was a change in positions.
