that led to Germany’s defeat in the West, and he does this by acknowledging both the successes and failures of the Allied invasion (Montgomery in particular). D’Este tends to focus heavily on the British sector of the Normandy campaign, and he has an important reason for this; General Bernard Montgomery. The detailed planning of Operation Overlord was spearheaded by military commanders of Allied nations. Although, the post D-day plan of the campaign was dictated to the ground-commander of Normandy, British commander, General Bernard Montgomery. Montgomery, “Monty” as his nickname was, is followed closely by D’Este’s work. There is a chief criticism that surrounds Montgomery’s D-day+ plan, and this problem surrounds the Battles of Caen and Falaise. This criticism of Montgomery comes from his apparent lack of accepting adaptation when an operation doesn 't go as planned. For instance, the Allies did not capture Caen in the timely fashion Montgomery had thought, although instead of acknowledging the fact that his plan had backfired, he simply stated thats the way he planned it. Montgomery highly disliked admitting that he was fallible, and occasionally forced to improvise on a plan that would warrant success. This non-truth aspect of Montgomery created speculation and debate to this day about the real D-day+ plan that he had originally developed. The main idea behind D’Este’s work was to write the truth behind The Battle of Normandy. He writes a detailed analysis of the tactical…

In the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, loneliness is a key theme. There comes a point in the novel where Dr. Frankenstein has to make a decision: to either make his creature an equal woman companion or to refuse his protégé and face the dire consequences. At this point, Frankenstein is knowledgeable that his creation is the murderer of his brother (and indirectly caused the execution of his family friend Justine). He sees just exactly the problems that his creation has caused and how much…

Jenkins then removed the carefully folded newspaper from his inside jacket pocket, opening it up and beginning to read. Any changes in his after-church routine lay only in the words on the newspaper and the faces in the diner. He sat in silence for some time, reading the Sunday paper and sipping his cup of coffee, just as he had the Sunday before that, and the Sunday before that, and just as he would next Sunday, too. Occasionally, his eyes flicked up from the paper and he opened his mouth as if…

barren, death laden landscape with minimum life forces as a presentation of the burden time has on an individual or, perhaps more expressively, as a presentation of the burden time has on the surrounding environment. By formulating a hallucinatory image of pocket watches slowly fading and warping, while the background itself is depicted with tangible, real items, such as mountains and water, Dali plays upon the idea of time persistence within an individual’s life. As the distinction between…

Following health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred provider plans (PPOs), more employers were switching the healthcare benefits for their employees to CDHPS. Consumer directed health plans (CDHPs) were created to lower health care costs, improve the quality of received healthcare, and give the consumer the better ability to make decisions regarding their healthcare. Although there are many different forms of CDHPs, the shared thing behind them is a high-deductible heath plan that…

In other words, how much would out of pocket costs have financially hurt the individual or depending on how sick one of the individuals in the case was, how much treatment would need to be covered to give the person a peace of mind. In Gerald’s situation, one of the most important aspects for his coverage would be the amount of test strips he would be able to receive. Plan B did not offer Gerald any test strips all of the strips he would need were based on out of pocket costs and Plan C seemed…

Operation Overlord was the codename for the Battle of Normandy, the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. The operation was launched on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings(Operation Neptune, commonly known as D-Day). A 1,200-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving more than 5,000 vessels. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, and more than two million Allied troops were in…
