A man by the name of Dalton Chiscolm is suing Bank of America for "1,784 BILLION, TRILLION Dollars", which, coincidentally, is a larger amount than the planet's gross domestic product. Apparently, his reason for suing the corporation arose from several frustrating phone calls he made to settle some incorrectly deposited checks. The case was thrown out, mainly because there was no federal cause of action for the lawsuit. Along with the absurd amount, Chiscolm asked that the money be deposited into his account the following day with an additional $200,164,000 for his troubles.
In America Mother' s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother' s Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother' s Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor.their mothers.
I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began. It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.
Anna was born on May 1, 1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a "minister", which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, and she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.
After she became an adult, Anna worked for a life insurance company in Philadelphia, Penn-sylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington, D. C.. Then, in 1906,just two weeks after Anna' s 42nd birthday, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.
In the months that followed, Anna began to change. (78)No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other mothers honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.
After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother' s Day church service, on May 10, 1908, in Grafton, West Virginia. (79)The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of Mayas an official Mother' s Day--the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Vir-ginia, where Anna' s mother had lived, made Mother' s Dayr.a statewide observance--not a holi-day in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

2) Churchill’s tendency to conduct strategy by impulse infuriated his advisers. His chief of staff Alan Brooke complained that every day Churchill had 10 ideas, only one of which was good — and he did not know which one. Yet Churchill the romantic showed acute realism in his reaction to Russia’s predicament. He reviled communism. Required to accept a communist ally in a struggle against a Nazi enemy, he did so not only willingly but generously. He sent a large proportion of Britain’s war production to Russia by Arctic convoys, even at a time when the convoys from America to Britain, which alone spared the country starvation, suffered devastating U-boat attacks. <winston churchill> Line:__________
