Content: What is Land Rover? Land Rover is a British luxury carmaker owned by Jaguar Land Rover, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Indian multinational automotive company, Tata Motors. The company has been making authentic on/off-road 4x4s since 1948, the cars that represent British ingenuity across a wide range of models including the iconic Defender, Range Rover, Discover, and the most recently Range Rover Sport. The first Land Rover prototype was a pick-up/tractor hybrid with a single, central seat, and stark functionality. For years, Land Rover was synonymous with capable, good-value, vehicles that served farmers and adventurers alike all over the world. The first Land Rover was released in 1948 and the Series I was officially launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show with a 80-inch wheelbase using the similar dimensions of the WW2 Jeep. Today, Land Rover is a company in itself, owned by Tata Motors. What is Range Rover? Range Rover is the luxury automotive division of the Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by Indian automotive giant Tata Motors. The first prototype of the Range Rover was built in 1967 and named “Velar”, derived from the Italian world ‘velare’, and the first production 3-door 4×4 Range Rover was released in 1970.

Olive Oil vs Canola Oil
Ian

Content: That fact is clear enough for us to think twice before picking up a bottle of canola oil in the market. Nowadays, it is important to pay attention to our diets. Incredibly, even the type of oil we consume can endanger our health without even noticing it. Olive oil is the only vegetable oil that has numerous health benefits and it is not just a mere ingredient in our recipes. It is an excellent cancer inhibitor; it can control blood sugar and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. Using olive oil instead of canola oil may lead you to a healthier and fitter body. When it comes to price comparison between olive and canola oils, canola oil costs less than olive oil, the very reason why canola is fast flowing in the market today in contrast to olive oilÃs market status. Price is perhaps the only advantage of canola oil against olive oil. Olive oil may be a bit expensive but the benefits far outweigh its cost.

Content: The environment surrounding the organism from the outside, that involve physical, social, chemical and biological conditions encompassing the living organism. The external environment is utilized in contradiction to the inside environment of the living organism. Living organisms discover and react to alteration in the conditions of their outside environment. In responding to any perils and opportunities, living organisms may act or change their actions. For e.g. floral stems show growth towards the sunlight. With time, the branches of trees become strong when they are tightened by the wind. Faunal species, react towards stimulus with a wide range of behaviours resulting due to hibernation activity of a bear to your own experience of Goosebumps on a cold and chilly night. Figure 1.

Internal environment
It is the extracellular fluid (literally, fluid outside the cells) environment surrounding each cell. External environment
It is the air surrounding the living organism. Stability
Internal environment
There is more stability in case of the internal environment. The reason for this is because living beings cannot endure extreme changes to aspects like water accessibility and temperature. If these aspects change too extremely, the biochemical reactions that take place within living cells that are requisite for maintaining life will be interrupted. This will cause death of the living organism
External environment
The external environment of a living organism is unstable.

Difference Between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity
• Categorized under Physics, Science, Technology | Difference Between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity
Modern physics is founded on the two very important discoveries of the last century: Quantum Mechanics and General Theory of Relativity. In fact, both of these theories form the very foundation of the current understanding of physics – and yet the two don’t seem to work together. Physicists have spent years trying to reconcile these two theories and bridging the gap between the two. Both the theories were developed to deal with the major failings of Newtonian physics. These two theories have radically changed our perception of what objects ought to be and how they ought to behave. There is the General Theory of Relativity which was published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and is the major building block of modern physics which provides a synthesis of special relativity and gravitation. This is central to our understanding of many areas of astrophysics and cosmology. Then there is Quantum Mechanics, which explains the nature of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. It deals with the behavior of photons, electrons and other particles that make up the universe.

Content: Both are fundamentally very different theories with different formulations. What does Quantum Mechanics means? Quantum Mechanics is the theoretical basis of modern physics that describes the weird behavior of photons, electrons and other particles that make up the universe. The introduction of quantum mechanics was prompted by the failure of classical physics in explaining a number of microphysical phenomena that were observed at the end of nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The branch of physics that studies the structure and motion of atoms is known as quantum mechanics. It is one of the most important areas of modern physics which aims to describe the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents. Simply put, it is the physics that explains how everything works. What is General Relativity? General Theory of Relativity, or General Relativity, is one of the cornerstones of classical physics, which provides a synthesis of special relativity and gravitation. The theory of relativity is central to our understanding of many areas of astrophysics and cosmology.

General Theory of Relativity, or General Relativity, is one of the cornerstones of classical physics, which provides a synthesis of special relativity and gravitation. The theory of relativity is central to our understanding of many areas of astrophysics and cosmology. General relativity fundamentally changed our ideas of space and time. According to relativity, objects cannot be in two different states at the same time. But the problem here is the phrase ‘at the same time.’ Time itself now becomes a relative concept, dependent on the observer. Relativity means that what you observe and measure about an event depends on your own point of view as well as the event itself.

– In the Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, events are continuous and deterministic, meaning what you observe and measure about an event depends on your own point of view as well as the event itself. Observations are relative to the frame of reference of the observer. An event is simply an occurrence at some specific time and at some specific place. Events form the basic elements of the space-time description of universe. In quantum mechanics, events are the results of the fundamental interaction between subatomic particles that occur in a very short span of time, at a localized region of space.

Impact of the digital divide on culture
Content: Social websites such as Facebook and Instagram have been useful in facilitating communication and maintaining touch with friend and relatives of close ties. Technology is very influential on the levels of relations among members of society since new social opportunities arise when we include ICT in our relationships. People can now keep in touch with friends or even make new friends even amidst tight schedule courtesy of chat rooms. Besides, internet harbors fertile information about peoples’ culture and religion that are vital in guiding social relations. Internet access offers person access to a broader range of opportunities thus creating a social divide between those who are enriched and those who are deficient. Such segregation creates a potential for social conflicts in the communities where the wealthy can have computers and access the internet while the poor are barred. Efforts to bridge this gap initiated at a personal level through unacceptable activities such as theft has led to the disruption of harmony in the society. Impact of the digital divide on the society
The digital divide has contributed significantly to stratification in the community whereby there arises a class of persons with access to the internet and another class unable to use the ICT services either due to affordability issues or literacy levels. Some other factors that contribute to the digital divide in the society include age, race, and ethnicity. The digital divide has led to a rise of new alignments in the community whereby people are classified depending on ability to access internet services this is coupled with associated benefits, and therefore those with limited access to technology continue to lag behind in development matters.

Bottom line
Content: Though mobile connectivity is spreading drastically, it is not spreading equally. Women are still lagging. Men in low-income countries are 90% more likely to own a mobile phone than women. This translates to 184 million women who lack access to mobile connectivity. Even among women owning mobile phones, 1.2 billion women in low and mid-income countries have no access to the internet. 2. Social Divide
Internet access creates relationships and social circles among people with shared interests. Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook create online peer groups based on similar interests. More than ever internet usage has influenced social stratification which is evident in societies among those that are connected to the internet and those that are not. Non-connected groups are sidelined since they don’t share in the internet benefits of the connected groups.

Content: 2. Social Divide
Internet access creates relationships and social circles among people with shared interests. Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook create online peer groups based on similar interests. More than ever internet usage has influenced social stratification which is evident in societies among those that are connected to the internet and those that are not. Non-connected groups are sidelined since they don’t share in the internet benefits of the connected groups. 3. Universal Access Divide
Individuals living with physical disabilities are often disadvantaged when it comes to accessing the internet. They may have the necessary skills but cannot exploit the available hardware and software. Some parts of the world will remain segregated from the internet and its vast potential due to lack of digital literacy skills, low education levels, and inadequate broadband infrastructure. Causes of the Digital Divide
Even though access to computers and the internet continues to grow, the digital divide dramatically also continues to persist at an alarming rate due to the following:

The Annexation of Hawaii
Previous
Next
Digital History ID 3159
After a century of American rule, many native Hawaiians remain bitter about how the United States acquired the islands, located 2,500 miles from the West Coast. In 1893, a small group of sugar and pineapple-growing businessmen, aided by the American minister to Hawaii and backed by heavily armed U.S. soldiers and marines, deposed Hawaii's queen. Subsequently, they imprisoned the queen and seized 1.75 million acres of crown land and conspired to annex the islands to the United States. On January 17, 1893, the conspirators announced the overthrow of the queen's government. To avoid bloodshed, Queen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani yielded her sovereignty and called upon the U.S. government "to undo the actions of its representatives." The U.S. government refused to help her regain her throne. When she died in 1917, Hawaii was an American territory. In 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state after a plebiscite in which 90 percent of the islanders supported statehood. The businessmen who conspired to overthrow the queen claimed that they were overthrowing a corrupt, dissolute regime in order of advance democratic principles. They also argued that a Western power was likely to acquire the islands.

In 1851, King Kamehameha III had secretly asked the United States to annex Hawaii, but Secretary of State Daniel Webster declined, saying "No power ought to take possession of the islands as a conquest...or colonization." But later monarchs wanted to maintain Hawaii's independence. The native population proved to be vulnerable to western diseases, including cholera, smallpox, and leprosy. By 1891, native Hawaii's were an ethnic minority on the islands.

After the bloodless 1893 revolution, the American businessmen lobbied President Benjamin Harrison and Congress to annex the Hawaiian Islands. In his last month in office, Harrison sent an annexation treaty to the Senate for confirmation, but the new president, Grover Cleveland, withdrew the treaty "for the purpose of re-examination." He also received Queen Liliuokalani and replaced the American stars and stripes in Honolulu with the Hawaiian flag. Cleveland also ordered a study of the Hawaiian revolution. The inquiry concluded that the American minister to Hawaii had conspired with the businessmen to overthrow the queen, and that the coup would have failed "but for the landing of the United States forces upon false pretexts respecting the dangers to life and property."

Content: The Inuit wore layers of caribou-skinned clothing and constructed heavily insulated pit houses, dug into the ground and covered with furs and animal skins. The Inuit built sleds for transportation and spread out across the coast. These people were organized in a large number of small bands, which shared certain common cultural patterns while remaining largely autonomous. Along the Northwest Pacific Coast--an area of dense forests, teeming with caribou, deer, elk and moose, and rivers, rich with sea life-- the ancestors of the Haidas, Kwakiutls, and Tlingits developed a distinctive culture oriented toward the water. The mild climate and the abundant marine life--salmon, sturgeon, halibut, herring, shellfish, and sea mammals--meant that these peoples could produce food with very little work. Such abundance freed these people to create some of the world's most impressive art forms as well as an elaborate ceremonial life. The people of the Northwest Pacific Coast constructed large, gabled-roof plank houses; carved family and clan emblems on totem poles; made elaborately carved wooden masks, grave markers, and utensils; and constructed great sea-going canoes, some more than 60 feet long.

Secularization of the Missions
Digital History ID 540
Author: Narcisco Dúran
Date: Annotation: As early as the late eighteenth century, the mission system had begun to decay. Missions received less aid from the Spanish government and few Spanish were willing to become mission priests. In increasing numbers Indians deserted and mission buildings fell into disrepair. Mexican independence led to the final demise of California's mission system. Soldiers, rancheros, and farmers coveted the rich coastal lands that the missions controlled. Between 1834 and 1836, the Mexican government confiscated California mission properties and exiled the Franciscan friars. The missions were secularized--broken up and their property sold or given away to private citizens.

The missions were secularized--broken up and their property sold or given away to private citizens. Secularization was supposed to return the land to the Indians. The plan for secularization of 1834 assigned one half the mission lands and property to neophytes in grants of thirty-three acres of arable land along with land "in common" sufficient "to pasture their stock." In addition, one half of the mission herds were divided proportionately among the neophyte families. In actuality, however, most Indians either were put to work on ranchos or went to live among Indians in the interior. Some former mission Indians congregated in local rancherías (dwelling areas on the perimeter of a hacienda) where an indigenous Spanish and mestizo culture developed.

The War's Consequences
Previous

Digital History ID 3469
The Vietnam War had far-reaching consequences for the United States. It led Congress to replace the military draft with an all-volunteer force and the country to reduce the voting age to 18. It also inspired Congress to attack the "imperial" presidency through the War Powers Act, restricting a president's ability to send American forces into combat without explicit Congressional approval. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees have helped restore blighted urban neighborhoods. The Vietnam War severely damaged the U.S. economy. Unwilling to raise taxes to pay for the war, President Johnson unleashed a cycle of inflation. The war also weakened U.S. military morale and undermined, for a time, the U.S. commitment to internationalism. The public was convinced that the Pentagon had inflated enemy casualty figures, disguising the fact that the country was engaged in a military stalemate. During the 1970s and 1980s, the United States was wary of getting involved anywhere else in the world out of fear of another Vietnam. Since then, the public's aversion to casualties inspired strict guidelines for the commitment of forces abroad and a heavy reliance on air power to project American military power.

A New Birth of Freedom: Reconstruction During the Civil War
The Civil War, in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, brought to America "a new birth of freedom." And during the war began the nation's efforts to come to terms with the destruction of slavery and to define the meaning of freedom. By the war's end it was already clear that Reconstruction would bring far-reaching changes in Southern society, and a redefinition of the place of blacks in American life. The Civil War did not begin as a total war, but it soon became one: a struggle that pitted society against society. Never before had mass armies confronted each other on the battlefield with the deadly weapons created by the industrial revolution. The resulting casualties dwarfed anything in the American experience. Some 650,000 men died in the war, including 260,000 Confederates -- over one-fifth of the South's adult white male population.

Does SSI or Disability Help Pay for Utilities, Heating Costs, or Rent?
While Social Security Disability does not offer specific aid for utilities or rent, you can use your benefit payments for whatever you choose.
Content: You should contact the agencies responsible for administering these programs in your area and see if you are eligible. Many local religious organization and nonprofit groups also provide rental assistance to disabled people. For help with utility bills, the federal Administration for Chlidren and Families administers a low-income home energy assistance program (LIHEAP) through local offices to help pay for gas and electric utilities and heating and cooling costs . This program provides bill payment assistance and energy crisis aid to families in need. To apply for LIHEAP, go to LIHEAP.org to find contact information for the agency that administers LIHEAP in your area. In addition, many companies such as utility companies and water companies will work with people who have limited income to lower their monthly costs or set up payment plans. You can contact these companies directly and explain your situation to see if your payments can be reduced. Talk to a Disability Lawyer

Content: Information regarding mouth, rectum and vagina yeast infections including home remedies and relief to help treat persistent Candidiasis. Recurring yeast infections, or chronic yeast infections, are not only annoying but it can also put you at risk of other illnesses like diabetes and chronic urinary tract infection. If you're treating a yeast infection, you should abstain from sex during the course of the treatment and cure (about seven days). Main Digest
NOTE: A proper diagnosis from your doctor is very important to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment to cure your yeast infection. Yeast Infections Are Also Known as Candida
Candidiasis is an infection caused by a group of microscopic fungi or yeast and there are more than 20 species of Candida. Candidiasis is the common name for a condition that results in the overproduction of a form of yeast normally found in the body at low levels. Candida, or Candida albicans, is a type of yeast that is generally found in the regular flora of the skin, intestinal track and the mouth, rectum, and vagina. Although Candida is naturally present in the body, it can cause problems if there is an overgrowth, resulting in Candidiasis. You can develop yeast infections around dentures, under the breast, vagina and lower abdomen, nailbeds, and beneath skin folds.

Yeast infections tend to become more common with increased age, but can occur at any age and are known to cause vagina odors. While yeast infections are thought to be mainly a problem among women, did you know that men can also get them? This is especially true for a man whose wife is suffering from one, since having sex will pass the infection back and forth. Many women (and men) suffering from yeast infections resort to the remedies found in a drug store: creams, suppositories, and other "medical" remedies.

Content: Meteorological - is the monitoring of atmospheric conditions for precipitation levels that lead to dry spells, the length a dry period and the overall amount of dryness. Agricultural - rainfall shortages reduce soil moisture resulting in crop stress, which effects food production and farming. Socioeconomic - when demand exceeds supply. Water shortages create a strain on products that are dependent on the water supply for production such as hydroelectric power, fisheries, food grains, etc. What Causes Water Shortages? According to Elizabeth Kitchen droughts can be caused by a number of things. The most important drought cause is related to how much water vapor is in the atmosphere because water vapor in the atmosphere is what causes precipitation. When there are moist, low pressure systems, precipitation, such as rain, hail, sleet, and snow can occur. If the presence of dry, high pressure is above average, there will be less moisture available to create precipitation. This then results in a water deficit in areas they move over.

Having a disease or condition arising from a genetic mutation
Antenatal tests
Tests conducted during pregnancy to assess the health of the foetus
Anticipation
Increasing severity or earlier onset of a genetic trait, disease or condition with each generation
Autosomal disorders
Genetic diseases or conditions caused by a mutation in a single gene or DNA sequence in the automosomes (non-sex chromosomes)
Autosomes
The chromosomes responsible for non-sex traits
Biochemical techniques
Processes for examining changes in gene products such as enzymes and proteins
Carrier
An individual who has one copy of a faulty recessive gene. They will not usually be affected but they can pass the mutation on to offspring if their partner is also a carrier or if the mutation produces a sex-linked recessive disorder or condition
Chromosomal disorders
Diseases or conditions arising due to mutations in the number or structure of the chromosomes
Chromosomes
The strands of DNA containing genes found in each cell nucleus. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes with one chromosome from each parent in each pair
Classical inheritance - disorders
See Single gene disorders
Congenital
Present at birth (but not necessarily genetic)
Cytogenetics
The study of the genetics of the cell. Used to detect chromosomal abnormalities
Diagnostic test
A test for detecting the presence or absence of a disease or condition. Often used following a positive screening test. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)
The material inside the nucleus of cells that carries genetic information
Dominant disorders
Genetic diseases or conditions caused by a mutation on one of the genes in a pair. The single mutated gene dominates. The disease or condition can therefore be inherited from one parent who has the faulty gene
Expressivity
The extent to which a genetic disease or condition is expressed in an individual.

Penetrance
The chance of being affected by a genetic trait or condition if the mutation has been inherited. Often expressed as the percentage of individuals with a certain genotype who express its phenotype. Phenotype
A physical characteristic or feature (also known as a trait). It is determined by genotype, but is also influenced by environment and sporadic genetic mutations
Predictive test (genetic)
A test used to detect the presence of a genetic mutation in individuals who are currently well but who may be at risk of developing a genetic disease or condition
Presumptive test (genetic)
See Predictive test
Pre-symptomatic test (genetic)

African slave traders
Painting detail
The enslaved Africans bought by the Europeans were sold by African slave traders. In West Africa there are many different cultures and societies. Social organisation is very varied. Some of these cultures have complex social systems and others are more loosely organised. The West Africans who most prospered in the transatlantic slave trade were those from the most warlike and tightly organised societies with strong rulers who preyed on their neighbours. These societies would be more likely to wage war on their neighbouring communities, enslave prisoners of war and trade them to the Europeans. The rulers of these societies usually appointed caboceers (traders) to deal with European slave traders. Many, such as the caboceer from the Fante people, John Currantee, or the leader from the Efik people Ephraim Robin John (known to the European traders as King George) were well-known as canny and ruthless dealers. They were able to communicate in a number of European and African languages.

The African slave traders were skilled in using to their advantage the rivalries between the French, the English and the Dutch to get the best prices for their slaves. Often they demanded (and received) ‘gifts’ or ‘custom fees’, known in some quarters as ‘dashee’, from the Europeans. Nicholas Pocock, a sea captain who became an artist, drew paintings of several ships. Some include small pictures of slave trading activity on the coast of Africa. Pictured here is a small detail from a painting called The Southwell Frigate.

In the Republic, the standard speed limit is 100 km/hr (~62.5 miles/hr) on national roads (roads on the map with an "N" number and signs coloured green) and 120 km/hr on the motorways (roads which bear an "M" number and have signs coloured blue). The speed limit on regional roads is normally 80km/hr (~50 miles/hr)
The speed limit in built up areas both North and South is 50 km/hr (~30 miles/hr). If you rent a car in the Republic of Ireland, the instruments will display your speed in km per hour. In Northern Ireland speeds are still measured in miles per hour with the standard speed limit set at 60 miles/hr. - Alcohol
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol is taken very seriously in Ireland and heavy penalties will be imposed on those found to be above the legal blood/alcohol limit. Random breath alcohol testing by the Gardai (Police) can take place at any time. - Roundabouts
Roundabouts (rotaries) are very uncommon in the US but are a standard feature of Irish road networks. The rules for using roundabouts are simple: Yield to all vehicles coming from your right and always turn left on entering the roundabout. - Emergencies
In the case of an accident you will need to call the police (in Ireland they are called Garda) and if anyone is injured an Ambulance, telephone number is 999 for both.

: When in Doubt, Ask Your Sister
Content: I imagine that my brothers had similar experiences. In order to understand how this process of naming takes place within my family, we must first understand the experience of racism that the Japanese encountered in Peru. First, the Japanese entered Peru as cheap, exploitable labor. Such oppression can be compared to that of other indentured and contract laborers in the Americas. Today, many Asian workers are brought to work in sweatshops in the United States. They are promised the opportunity to work off the price of coming to this country. They are contract laborers, but it is not uncommon that these workers are held in slave-like conditions in which they can never fully pay off their debts because the wages they receive are extremely low. The Japanese were in similar conditions. Their entry into Peru as cheap labor marked them as second-class citizens. During World War II, the Japanese population in Peru came under attack as racist hysteria swept the Western hemisphere.

Title: The Ten Most Common Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Symptoms
Headings: The Ten Most Common Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Symptoms
The Ten Most Common Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Symptoms
In this section...
1. Impulsive behavior
2. Aware of behavioral issues
3. Wide mood swings
4. Anxiety and depression
5. Problems with anger
6. Inability to control impulses and emotions
7. Suicidal behavior
8. Feeling misunderstood, neglected, alone, empty or hopeless
9. Fear of being alone
10. Feelings of self-hate and self-loathing
Content: Inability to control impulses and emotions
This behavior tends to push others away because of the wild mood swings and lack of self-control. This can also increase the feelings of anxiety and stress, making it even harder to control their emotions. 7. Suicidal behavior
With any change in mood, especially when the person feels an overwhelming sense of worthlessness, they can start to show tendencies to start hurting themselves. Depressive moods and low self-esteem, anxiety and stress, as well as anger can lead to suicide attempts. 8. Feeling misunderstood, neglected, alone, empty or hopeless
There is a tendency for a person that may be suffering from borderline personality disorder to withdraw from their work, their friends, and their family. This could be because they feel no one understands what they are feeling. Some may also feel like they are being blamed for their uncontrolled emotions. They can also feel hopeless to make any changes.

Title: Interracial Marriage and Divorce | Divorce Source
Headings: Interracial Marriage and Divorce
Interracial Marriage and Divorce
Minorities, young adults, the higher educated and those living in Western or Northeast states were more likely to say mixed marriages are a change for the better for society.
About Editorial Staff
Content: They often interact with others on either side of the racial divide and frequently serve as brokers between friends and family members of different racial backgrounds,” he said. “ But America still has a long way to go.” While overall interracial marriages have less duration than same-race marriages, some of the studies concluded that factors such as educational level and the age at marriage had more bearing on the stability of these marriages than the racial differences of the individuals. ( As educational level goes up, the likelihood divorce goes down, and marriages occurring earlier in life are more likely to end in divorce). Moreover, members of interracial pairings are more likely to have traits correlated with a higher probability of divorce. However, these studies failed to account for gender in connection with the race of each individual in interracial marriages. A recent study published by the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) explored this aspect in interracial couples in the United States. Using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, the study analyzed almost 6,000 men and women between the ages of 15-44 who had never been married, over a period of ten years. The study found that: > Marriages between a black husband and white wife were twice as likely to divorce as marriages involving a white husband and white wife.

When adjusted for background aspects such as age at marriage and educational level, differences between black male/white female marriages and white male/white female marriages virtually disappeared in some cases. This suggests that, contrary to prior findings, the higher rate of interracial divorce between black male/white female marriages is not due to background factors. Asian male/white female marriages were 59 percent more likely to end in divorce than white male/white female marriages. Marriages involving a white husband and black wife were substantially less likely to end in divorce than marriage involving a white husband and white wife; the former pairing’s divorce rate was 44 percent less than the latter.

Step 7
Tape Trim
Lay down drop cloth. Protect woodwork, ceilings, and other non-wall surfaces with painters tape. Adhere the tape firmly to surfaces in a straight line, making sure tape edges don't intrude on areas to be painted. Editor's Tip
Editor's TIp
Apply primer (following painting instructions below) if you will be painting over dark-color walls, stained surfaces, high-gloss finishes, or new drywall. For dark walls, such as red or chocolate, have the primer tinted to match the existing color. Using a tinted primer means fewer coats of new paint. Advertisement
Cut in
Step 8
Cut In
Fill a small hand-held container with paint. Working on one wall at a time, use an angled sash brush to apply lines of paint (cutting in) along the top of the wall, around window and door trim, down the corners, and above the baseboard. Editor's Tip
Editor's Tip
Use a 2- to 2-1/2-inch angled brush to cut in. Any larger and it may be difficult to maneuver;

Step 9
Roll Wall
Starting in a corner, roll paint in a W-pattern across the walls. Work in small, 3- to 4-feet sections, getting even coverage before moving too far along the wall. If your reach is short, attach the roller to an extension pole. Once you've filled in the area, finish it with light vertical strokes to smooth the paint and remove roller marks.

Title: Paints - common different types of paint for use around the house
Headings: Different types of household paint
Different types of household paint
So what is paint ?
Gloss Paint
non-drip (Thixotropic)
Emulsion Paints
Interior Walls and Ceilings
Other types of paint
Content: Do not stir the paint before or during application. The paint may look lumpy and unworkable in the can, but that is the nature of the paint. Stirring will only break down the consistency and ruin the finish. If a can has been stirred, leave it for a while and the paint will become jelly-like again. To strain out dirt particles within non-drip paint, thoroughly stir the paint until it becomes a free-running liquid, strain the paint and then leave it to gel again. Emulsion Paints
Modern Emulsions are water-based, with vinyl or acrylic resins added to make them more hard-wearing than traditional emulsions. This results in varying degrees of sheen in the finish; as the shine increases, the paint tends to be more hard wearing. The ranges usually offer matt, eggshell, silk, satin and full gloss. Although normally thought of as for internal walls and ceilings, there are water based types of emulsion specially produced for woodwork.

These are easy to apply but do not give the same hard-wearing qualities as oil-based paints. Interior Walls and Ceilings
Emulsion is the most popular paint for walls and ceilings due to the fact that it is water based and has less smell, dries comparatively quickly and is easy to apply. There are three main types of emulsion used for walls and ceilings, each giving a different finish: Vinyl matt emulsion gives a matt, non-shiny finish that is good for not showing small imperfections on the wall or ceiling. ( The shinier finishes reflect back more light and highlight any imperfections).

Vinyl silk emulsion gives a high sheen finish and is the most durable of all the emulsion paints. It is good for rooms that are subject to a lot of moisture i.e. condensation.

Unless you are a seasoned carpenter or a keen DIY’er, you will probably never have come across a birdsmouth joint before so will be unfamiliar with how this particular woodworking joint is used in roof construction and also in building fences. If you are indeed looking to construct a pitched roof of some kind for a self build project home or even a garden shed or outbuilding you are going to need to cut all of your rafters or roofing joists to fit. The best and strongest way to do this is by using a Birdsmouth joint. What is a Birdsmouth joint or Cut? The Birdsmouth Joint (also called the birds beak cut or birds beak joint) is a small triangular shaped cut out at the base of a roofing joist that allows the joist to sit nicely on top of the wall plate (top of the wall before the roof starts). As I’m sure you have gathered, the name “Birdsmouth Joint” refers to the fact that the joint itself looks a little like a birdsmouth when viewed from the side. Birdsmouth joints cut into roofing rafters and mounted in place on top of the wall plate
If is wasn’t for this joint, a rafter or roofing joist would only balance on top of the wall plate, making fixing difficult not to mention the fact that there wouldn’t be any solid connection between the roof and the supporting walls below. The addition of this joint allows the top of the rafter to sit solidly down on top of the horizontal area of the plate, whilst the vertical front edge butts up to the vertical exterior side edge of the wall plate.

The addition of this joint allows the top of the rafter to sit solidly down on top of the horizontal area of the plate, whilst the vertical front edge butts up to the vertical exterior side edge of the wall plate. This both allows for a solid fixing and also for any forces to be successfully transferred from the roof, down into the supporting walls and then down to the foundation. To ensure a secure fix for the rafter to the wall plate a fixing process known as “Toenailing” is normally used, whereby nails are driven in to each side of the rafter at an angle and down in to the timber that forms the top of the wall plate. The act of toenailing (or sometimes it’s also called skew or side-nailing) ensures that both timbers are securely fixed together to form a solid joint. It’s also possible to use joist hangers, rafter tie down straps or any other suitable steel engineered fixings that are made specifically for this job. In terms of the cut itself, both the horizontal and vertical cuts that form the birdsmouth joint have their own names;

How to Cut a Doorway Into a Solid Wall
Learn how to make an opening in a stud or masonry wall. Related To: Doors
When planning to cut an opening in a wall, whether masonry or wood, establish whether it is loadbearing or non-loadbearing. For advice on this, and on supporting the upper levels of a wall or structure while cutting openings, see the information below. The techniques needed for cutting smaller openings such as a doorway or serving hatch are those shown below. If a door is to be placed in the opening, you do not need to be exacting in making good the cut edges, because the door jamb will cover them. In calculating how large to make the opening, allow for a door jamb, and get header specifications calculated by a structural engineer. - Internal alterations may not always need a permit, but check with your local building inspector, because regulations vary. Exterior changes such as adding a new window often have to be authorized. - If the wall has a baseboard, remove it before starting work, and reinstall it after making good the walls around the new doorway.

Content: - Seek professional advice if you have any doubts about carrying out structural improvements to your home. If you are cutting into a loadbearing wall, you should use temporary props, a header and cripple studs, even for a small opening. RX-DK-DIY110008_door-in-stud-wall-labeled_s4x3

Use an existing stud as the hinging edge of the doorway. After cutting the opening, add blocking between the trimmer studs above it, and insert a new stud in the open edge of the doorway. Then either attach a door jamb and door or, if the gap is to be an opening with no door, apply drywall and an angle bead, then finish. For a serving hatch, cut an opening in the same way. Insert blocking across the bottom edge before drywalling and installing casing. This image shows a doorway to be cut into a non-loadbearing wall. The wood elements outlined in red form the edges of the doorway. This is a job for a structural engineer.

Content: take advice from a structural engineer on the type and strength you need. Some tips specific to small openings are given here, but the techniques for supporting the wall and cutting the opening are those shown above. For small openings in brickwork — no wider than 3 feet, for example — it may be possible to cut the opening without temporary support. If any bricks fall out of their positions, they can be replaced after the header is set in place. With blockwork, however, it is almost always necessary to use a temporary support. If you need to cut into an exterior cavity wall for a new window or a doorway, use a cavity wall header. This will provide support while retaining the cavity wall's damp-proofing function. It directs any moisture in the cavity out though weep holes in the wall. Your structural engineer will specify the strength to use. Close off the cavity at the sides of the new opening, either using cavity closers or by laying blocks.

Space Stiles on the Wall
Typical spacing between stiles ranges from 18 to 28 inches apart. The variables that may help determine the choice of spacing include the wall width, location of window trim, wall receptacles, TV and telephone cable boxes and wall vents. Mark Stile Location
A third helpful tip in setting stiles is to cut a "block" or "spacing" template and place it atop the baseboard to mark the next stile location. Mark Stile Cuts with a Pencil
To cut a stile under the window, place a shortened length of stile atop the baseboard. Mark the stile where the cut will be made to fit the window trim. When cutting stiles around wall receptacles, use the pencil to outline the cut locations on the wall, then transfer the cut lines onto the stile. Transfer Cut Lines to Stile
Transfer the cut lines onto the stile. Once the outline of the wall receptacle has been transferred to the stile, drill the opening with a 3/8" bit, then cut out the opening with a jigsaw or coping saw.

When nailing stiles around wall receptacles, it is important to hit the wall studs adjacent to the receptacle. Receptacles are typically nailed to a wall stud before the drywall is installed. Setting the Stiles
Typical spacing between stiles ranges from 18 to 28 inches apart. The variables that may help determine the choice of spacing include the wall width, location of window trim, wall receptacles, TV and telephone cable boxes and wall vents. When working around window trim and wall receptacles, logic prevails.

Content: Rostral (upper) pontomesencephalic lesions cause ipsilesional hypertropia, and caudal (lower) pontomedullary lesions cause contralesional hypertropia. Skew deviation can also occur in cerebellar lesions (Wong and Sharpe, 2005). Skew deviation is rarely associated with vestibular lesions and suggested by some to be specific for vestibular "pseudoneuritis" -- a brainstem lesion emulating vestibualr neuritis(Cnyrim, Newman-Toker, et al. 2008). . However, it is not a specific sign as there is good evidence that it occurs in purely peripheral lesions (Vibert. et al., 1996)
Acutely, utricular damagecan also cause hyperdevation. It would seem to us that saccular damage might also cause hyperdeviation, but this has not been reported in the literature to our knowledge. Alternating skew deviation, in which the hypertropic eye occurs on the side of horizontal gaze direction, is associated with lesions of the cervicomedullary junction or cerebellar pathways. Ocular tilt reaction
In normal humans, static lateral head tilt causes sustained low-amplitude counter-roll of the eyes and a small vertical misalignment, so that the lower eye is a little higher than the upper eye.

In normal humans, static lateral head tilt causes sustained low-amplitude counter-roll of the eyes and a small vertical misalignment, so that the lower eye is a little higher than the upper eye. This has the effect of modestly realigning the axis between the eyes with horizontal. Pathologically, the ocular tilt reaction consists of a triad of skew deviation, ocular torsion and head tilt.

Title: Assigning inmates to prison
Headings:
Assigning Inmates to Prison
Content: Prison classification specialists develop an individual profile of each inmate that includes the offender’s crime, social background, education, job skills and work history, health, and criminal record, including prior prison sentences. Based on this information, the offender is assigned to the most appropriate custody classification and prison. From this initial classification, inmate behavior and continuing risk assessments by prison staff will determine the inmate’s progression through the various custody levels to minimum custody and eventual release. Prison managers assign inmates to work, rehabilitative self improvement programs, and treatment. As inmates serve their sentences, the inmates who comply with prison rules, do assigned work, and participate in corrective programs, may progress toward minimum custody. Inmates who violate prison rules are punished and may be classified for a more restrictive custody classification and a more secure prison. Inmates are then required to demonstrate responsible and improved behavior over time to progress from this status to less restrictive custody classifications and prisons. Inmate Custody Levels
Inmates may be classified and assigned to the following custodial levels; close, medium, minimum I, minimum II and minimum III. The classification levels are in descending order of perceived public safety risks presented by the inmate.

Title: Assigning inmates to prison
Headings:
Assigning Inmates to Prison
Content: Inmates in close custody present the highest risk while inmates in minimum III generally present the least risk. Within this mix of custodial assignments, inmates also may be subject to various control statuses. The control statuses include maximum, death row, intensive, safekeeper, disciplinary, administrative and protective. Each of these control statuses further restricts inmate freedoms and privileges. Assignment and removal of inmates from these statuses is generally at the discretion of higher level classification authorities in the Division of Prisons. The imposition of these additional custody control measures are generally for the purpose of maintaining order in the prison, protecting staff safety or providing for inmate safety. Prison Security Levels
Prisons are classified and designated by security level. The security levels used by the Division of Prisons are close, medium, and minimum. Specific cell areas within close security institutions may be designated by the Director of Prisons as maximum security. Security levels are determined by the design and unique features of the prison, the level of staffing, and the operating procedures.

Prisons are classified and designated by security level. The security levels used by the Division of Prisons are close, medium, and minimum. Specific cell areas within close security institutions may be designated by the Director of Prisons as maximum security. Security levels are determined by the design and unique features of the prison, the level of staffing, and the operating procedures. Maximum security is the most restrictive level of confinement and minimum security is the least restrictive. The prison security level is an indicator of the extent to which an offender who is assigned to that facility is separated from the civilian community. Maximum security units are comprised of cells with sliding cell doors that are remotely operated from a secure control station. Maximum security units are designated by the Director of Prisons at selected close security prisons. These units are utilized to confine the most dangerous inmates who are a severe threat to public safety, correctional staff, and other inmates.

Ways You Can Hedge Against Being a Host
Content: When they are more mature they crawl up from the lungs to the bronchial tubes and throat. The host coughs and swallows the worm-laden mucus. By the time the larvae reach the small intestines they are adult worms. The full life-cycle takes two to three months. Each adult worm can live in the gut for up to two years and pass 200,000 eggs into feces every day. People acquire the infection when eggs in feces, soil, food and water are ingested. Symptoms of Ascaris Roundworm: Shortness of breath
Cough (sometimes containing worms)
Loss of appetite
Wheezing
Abdominal pain or distention
Intestinal obstruction
Eggs or worms in stool
Pinworms (Enterobiasis)
Parents who have young children in school know that children have potential for parasites — and lice is not the only worrisome pest. More than 40 million children and adults have been infected with pinworms (aka seatworm or threadworm) caused by the roundworm Enterobius vermicularis. The eggs are swallowed and migrate down to the small intestines where they hatch into larvae.

Content: However, the general consensus is that a normal range is between 4,500 to 10,000 white blood cells per cubic millimeter. Any WBC count higher than 11,000 white blood cells per cubic millimeter is considered high. This can be compared to prior blood test results of the patient. What Causes High White Blood Cell Count? So, what happens when you have too many white blood cells? Known as leukocytosis in medical terms, a high white blood cell count can result from the following health conditions: Infection
Inflammation
Emotional Stress
Allergen reactions
Medications such as corticosteroids and epinephrine
Immune system disorder
Respiratory disorders such as whooping cough and tuberculosis
Cancer
Bone marrow disease
Injury
Pregnancy or labor
Strenuous exercise
Smoking
The white blood cell types show distinct causes for their high levels. Monocyte levels can rise to indicate an autoimmune disorder, blood disorder, chronic infection, or cancer. Lymphocyte levels may increase due to a virus, infection, or cancer. This is known as lymphocytic leukocytosis and can produce tuberculosis, lymphomas, or leukemia.

1929–1942
1929 DeSoto, the first model year of DeSoto
The DeSoto make was founded by Walter P. Chrysler on August 4, 1928, and introduced for the 1929 model year. It was named after the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto. Chrysler wanted to enter the brand in competition with its arch-rivals General Motors, Studebaker, and Willys-Knight, in the mid-price class. Shortly after DeSoto was introduced, however, Chrysler completed its purchase of the Dodge Brothers, giving the company two mid-priced makes. Had the transaction been completed sooner, DeSoto never would have been introduced. Initially, the two-make strategy was relatively successful, with DeSoto priced below Dodge models. Despite the economic times, DeSoto sales were relatively healthy, pacing Dodge at around 25,000 units in 1932.

Despite the economic times, DeSoto sales were relatively healthy, pacing Dodge at around 25,000 units in 1932. However, in 1933, Chrysler reversed the market positions of the two marques in hopes of boosting Dodge sales. By elevating DeSoto, it received Chrysler's streamlined 1934 Airflow bodies. But, on the shorter DeSoto wheelbase, the design was a disaster and was unpopular with consumers. Unlike Chrysler, which still had more traditional models to fall back on, DeSoto was hobbled by the Airflow design until the 1935 Airstream arrived. Aside from its Airflow models, DeSoto's 1942 model is probably its second most memorable model from the pre-war years, when the cars were fitted with powered pop-up headlights, a first for a North American mass-production vehicle.

Content: Exner gave the DeSoto soaring tailfins fitted with triple taillights, and consumers responded by buying record numbers of the car. The 1957 DeSoto had a well integrated design, with two variations: the smaller Firesweep, based on the concurrent Dodge; and the Firedome and Fireflite (and its halo model Adventurer sub-series), based on the larger Chrysler body. As was conventional in the era, subsequent years within the typical three year model block were distinguished by trim, bumper, and other low cost modifications, typically by adding bulk to bumpers and grilles, taillight changes, color choices, instrumentation and interior design changes and often additional external trim. The 1958 economic downturn hurt sales of mid-priced makes across the board, and DeSoto sales were 60 percent lower than those of 1957 in what would be DeSoto's worst year since 1938. The sales slide continued for 1959 and 1960, and rumors began to circulate that DeSoto was going to be discontinued. 1960 saw sales down 40 percent from the already low 1959 figures. Gallery

In its final model year, DeSoto lacked any model names and was simply marketed under its brand name. By the time the 1961 DeSoto was introduced in the fall of 1960, rumors were widespread that Chrysler was moving towards terminating the brand, fueled by a reduction in model offerings for the 1960 model year.

Content: The 1958 economic downturn hurt sales of mid-priced makes across the board, and DeSoto sales were 60 percent lower than those of 1957 in what would be DeSoto's worst year since 1938. The sales slide continued for 1959 and 1960, and rumors began to circulate that DeSoto was going to be discontinued. 1960 saw sales down 40 percent from the already low 1959 figures. Gallery

In its final model year, DeSoto lacked any model names and was simply marketed under its brand name. By the time the 1961 DeSoto was introduced in the fall of 1960, rumors were widespread that Chrysler was moving towards terminating the brand, fueled by a reduction in model offerings for the 1960 model year. For 1961, DeSoto lost its series designations entirely, in a move reminiscent of Packard's final lineup. And, like the final Packards, the final DeSoto was of questionable design merit. Again, based on the shorter Chrysler Windsor wheelbase, the DeSoto featured a two-tiered grille (each tier with a different texture) and revised taillights. Only a two-door hardtop and a four-door hardtop were offered. The cars were trimmed similarly to the 1960 Fireflite.

The final decision to discontinue DeSoto was announced on November 30, 1960, just forty-seven days after the 1961 models were introduced. At the time, Chrysler warehouses contained several million dollars in 1961 DeSoto parts, so the company ramped up production in order to use up the stock. Chrysler and Plymouth dealers, which had been forced to take possession of DeSotos under the terms of their franchise agreements, received no compensation from Chrysler for their unsold DeSotos at the time of the formal announcement. Making matters worse, Chrysler kept shipping the cars through December, many of which were sold at a loss by dealers eager to be rid of them. After the parts stock was exhausted, a few outstanding customer orders were filled with Chrysler Windsors .

Despite being a successful mid-priced line for Chrysler for most of its life, DeSoto's failure was due to a combination of corporate mistakes and external factors beyond Chrysler's control. Recession
The 1958 recession, which seriously affected demand for mid-priced automobile makes, hurt DeSoto sales particularly hard, and they failed to recover in 1959 and 1960. With falling sales, the 1959 and 1960 models were very similar to the concurrent Chryslers, and rumors began to circulate that DeSoto would be discontinued. 1950s DeSoto automobile in Havana, Cuba.

Despite being a successful mid-priced line for Chrysler for most of its life, DeSoto's failure was due to a combination of corporate mistakes and external factors beyond Chrysler's control. Recession

Dealer networks
Chrysler's dealer network also had an effect on the termination of DeSoto. Following World War II, Chrysler had a large number of dealers that carried two or more Chrysler makes, with Plymouth–DeSoto and Chrysler–Plymouth relationships being the most common. However, as Chrysler attempted to spin Plymouth off into stand-alone dealerships, existing dealers typically chose to become higher-volume Plymouth dealerships over the slower-selling DeSoto brand, leaving the marque with a weakened dealer network and fewer outlets selling its cars. Also, DeSoto Division's failure to adjust to changing market trends by introducing a new compact car model in 1960 as its GM and Ford counterparts, as well as its own Dodge and Plymouth siblings did, also hastened its demise. Brand management and marketing
It was Chrysler's own brand management, which pitted each of the five marques (Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial) against one other, that did the greatest damage to DeSoto and, ultimately, to the company itself in long-range product planning. [ citation needed] Rather than carefully managing the market relationship to specific price points for all consumers, as General Motors had done so successfully, Chrysler allowed its own divisions to develop products targeting markets covered by their own sister divisions.
