I've been working on a novel for some time now that's set in 1940s era England, and I'm the kind of person who can't stand research, but I really need some more information to make my novel historically accurate. I've found a lot on WWII, but I need some more specific information, and I haven't found much on the internet. I know a lot about modern England, but I don't know much about life during this era. This is what I need to know more about: - English fashion in the 1940s - The Blitz (how everyday people in the countryside continued to live during the disaster) - popular writers/entertainers - food, English cuisine - popular furnishings, which style of interior decorating was 'in' - upper class society Basically, any links or books that anyone would be willing to recommend would be much appreciated, as I haven't been able to find much, or I'm just unsure of where to begin.

We got this letter from our old landlord with some legal citations. I googled and found that she had simply copied and pasted this information from a website. I realized that she DID NOT include the following citation in her letter to us: "Ordinary wear and tear in lease requiring tenant to surrender furnishings in leased premises in condition received, 'ordinary wear and tear' excepted, means wear which property undergoes when tenant does nothing more than to come and go and perform acts usually incident to an ordinary way of life." Tirrell v. Osborn, D.C. Mun. App., 55 A.2nd 725, 727. I can't really make heads or tails about what it means. We only lived in our place for 6 months and the landlord is attempting to charge us an amount for wear and tear that we feel is excessive. (more...)

I'm a recreation and tourism major in the United States. What I planned to do with this was work the the U.S. military under the MWR (Morale, Welfare, Recreation) department. The kind of work I would do would be working on a military base and help run their recreation centers, such as a gym or design recreation programs such as a baseball league or camping trip. It's basically organizing recreation activities for people. I've still got another year left of college, but I was looking at doing my internship at a U.S. military base. I've spent time in Australia working on a volunteer project and traveling across the country doing conservation work. I loved it and would like to eventually move to Australia. I figure this would be the best time out of any to move overseas: I'm young and without a family of my own, I haven't bought a house here in the U.S. so I'm not tied up in a mortgage, most of my personal value is in savings accounts since I don't have a house of my own and didn't need to buy furnishings for it, and I don't have any loans since I already paid off my car loans and I got scholarships for college. But another important thing is I've spent time in Australia, loved it, and am not leaving the U.S. due to being upset at the government or economical problems. My question is do you think I should see if I can get an internship with the Australian military instead? It seems like they're quite different and it's not necessarily the same as the U.S.'s military MWR program. Also, I see that the U.S. usually wants U.S. citizens, I think it's safe to assume that Australia is the same way. Any advice would be appreciated since I'm having difficulty researching this. I'm basically trying to gather information and go from there. I'd also like to hear about any experience you've had with Australia's military bases if you were stationed yourself. Do you think I would be better off to stick with the U.S. military internship and then come to Australia afterwards with the experience to try to find a job? Thanks for your help! (more...)

I am thinking about using straw bales as furniture for seating, tables, and maybe even bedding. I am not looking to completely replace modern furnishings, but suppliment. There are some concerns that I have however: 1. Can I just purchase straw bales from my local feed store or do I need something special? 2. What are the chances that the bales will decompose or rot? 3. Do I need to worry about residual heat from the curing process while these bales sit in my house? 4. How long should the bales last? Will they need to be replaced at a certain point? Is there anything that I can do to make them last longer? 5. Can pests be a problem (bugs, rats)? Thanks for the information. I actually find straw quite comfortable, and I have seen this done in other peoples homes. My biggest concern is decomposition and insects, rats, dead animals and or other pests. I also enjoy the smell of fresh straw and hay. (more...)

Three brothers, my husband being one. Father dies and leaves property in division to the three sons. There is a main house w/pool and a guest house w/pool. One brother buys the other two brothers' interest in the house and acreage. The guest cottage is inhabited by a "relative" and his wife who have lived there for over 35 years. Formerly, the sons' father had inherited the house and acreage from his mother when she died, but her will specified that the "relative" and wife had usufruct of the guest house until death. The "relative" claims that his mother presented him with two ____ which have been at their pool cite for over 35 years. The son who purchased the property and moved onto it in the main house removed the ___s from the "relative's" pool. The "relative" has asked for them to be returned, but the brother and his wife have refused and believe the ___ s are their property. The "relative" has asked both of the other two brothers (including my husband) to look over the list of assets (furnishings, etc.) that were described in the distribution of assets list. The ___s are not listed. Now the "relative" wants the two brothers to swear to an affidavit that states they believe unequivocably that the ___s belong to the uncle and wife and should be returned. There has been a lot of strife in this family over the years having to do with property, money, etc. Now, it's coming full circle, and even though my husband and the other brother believe the ___s do belong to the "relative", they think by signing the affidavit before a judge that in essence, WWIII will break out and there will be a terrible aftermath having to do with family peace. It seems very out of character for the brother to refuse the return of the ___s based on the information he has been provided, but his wife is a different story. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Sorry so long and complicated. The truth often is. The property has all been split three ways among the three brothers. The "relative" living in the cottage/guest house is not an heir. He and his wife have use of the cottage for life..that's it. They don't own the cottage, but they do own the contents, i.e., their furniture, clothing, etc. They claim the ___s were a gift from his mother many years ago. The brother who is now living in the "main" house (because he bought the other two out) is the one who took the urns from the pool at the guest house.

America is the country where it is easiest to attain weapons. Inventories show that there are more than 200 million weapons. Here is more information on this disturbing report. Their access is checked by the law but the regulation varies according to the States. While the Texas is the laxest, New Jersey is the strictest. The Americans buy a rifle as they would buy microphone waves, for them a weapon is necessary to their security and therefore left the furnishings. Weapons are deeply anchored in the American culture. Weapons have been part of the American culture since the era of the pioneers. At this time they used their rifles to protect themselves from the Indians and wild animals. It belongs to the myth of the Wild West. The second amendment was written while every state possessed their own military, a military strength composite of simple citizens and some soldiers next part of the text =>It is in this framework of militia etatic that the second amendment declares that weapon harbour is a right that must not be infringed. Currently, the American people are deeply divided on the question of the harbour of weapon: those that are for and those that are against. Every party fights to every attempt of modification of a law concerning the weapons. The most powerful lobby "for" is without any doubt the NRA (National Riffle Association) directed formerly by Charlton Heston. This pressure group leans on the second amendment. According to them it is the people rather than the weapons cause deaths by bullets; a week after the slaughter of Littleton (1999), Mr Heston declared "if you do not choose not to follow the criminals people will die". C. Heston is a fervent campaigner he has constantly opposed himself to the attempts of President Clinton concerning the law reinforcement on firearm weapons. next part of the text =>. Heston is a fervent campaigner he has constantly opposed himself to the attempts of President Clinton concerning the law reinforcement on firearm weapons. This law that has not yet been passed. It brings the legal age of harbouring a weapon up to 21 years and it imposes the manufacture of notches of safety. Among the lobbies "against" the Million Mom March must be counted (in reference to Martin Luther King and his Million Man March) this march happens on Mother's Day and musters mothers and other activists. There is equally the Handgun Control that supports the Brady Law which was passed in 1994. This law makes it harder for criminals to obtain weapons and imposes certain delays before achieving the permit to harbour a weapon. The school-shooting phenomenon The school-shooting is a sensitive subject to the United States. It shows that the children can be killed by weapons but especially that have easy access to them. Next part of the text =>After the slaughter of Littleton (two students that shot and killed people in their high school), no legislative measure was taken in order to avoid this kind of drama from being repeated. To give another example, the shooting of Dunblane (Scotland) in 1996 were16 children lost their life. The authorities reacted immediately and reinforced their laws drastically. This shows that the lack of change in the United States is a political question - few politicians are willing to risk themselves to attack the second amendment - and cultural. The number of persons who desire a law reinforcement is low, 74% of the population is against a total banishment of their precious weapons. The school-shootings have an impact on the market. The weapon industry is afraid of helping gain justice as was the tobacco industry; of as much the sales stagnate. Certain industrial to do facing the stagnation of their sales retrain in the luggage manufacture, become fluffy? Next part of the text =>Arm and children in the house Few parents think about discussing the subject "arms to the house" with their children. This subject that appears harmless should be approached for the security of the kids. The parents do not have it in their heads that a weapon of their residence can be a threat to their children and others close to them. To have a weapon when one has children is extremely dangerous. The accident risk is very strong. A minute of inattention and the child finds what it thinks to be a toy and kills itself or someone close to them in an accidental way. The number of this kind of accidents has not stopped growing. Certain States demand parents pay a certain amount of attention and that all firearms are put under lock in an inaccessible place for the child. I ask you to look at the report of Michael Moore 'Bowling for Columbine' where the author was very interested in the school-shootings and the culture of the harbouring of weapons in the US.

I am writing a story and need to find out how people lived in 1930s-1940s Germany (story is set in Berlin). Specifically: 1) What cooking methods did people use? I.e. hot-plates/electric-cookers/tile and or wood-burning stoves? If wood-burning/tile stoves, does anybody now know how one actually went about cleaning them and laying the fire, which seems to have been a big chore? (Or where can I find this info. for myself?) 2) Did people have central heating (how did it work) or did they still rely on tile stoves? 3) What kind of furnishings/decorations were most common? 4)What was the design of the average apartment? (E.g did most apartments have own bathrooms? How did you get hot water?) Sorry that's several questions -- any suggestions about where I could find such information would be a life-saver!

NTSB; CONCLUSIONS 1. On average, an evacuation for the study cases occurred every 11 days. An average of 336,328 departures occurred every 11 days in 1998 by scheduled aircraft operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121. 2. In the 46 study cases, 92 percent (2,614) of the 2,846 occupants on board were uninjured, and 8 percent (232) were injured. 3. The Federal Aviation Administration does not evaluate the emergency evacuation capabilities of transport-category airplanes with fewer than 44 passenger seats or the emergency evacuation capabilities of air carriers operating commuter-category and transport-category airplanes with fewer than 44 passenger seats. In the interest of providing one level of safety, all passenger-carrying commercial airplanes and air carriers should be required to demonstrate emergency evacuation capabilities. 4. Adequate research has not been conducted to determine the appropriate exit row width on commercial airplanes. 5. In general, passengers in the Safety Board's study cases were able to access airplane exits without difficulty, except for the Little Rock, Arkansas, accident that occurred on June 1, 1999, in which interior cabin furnishings became dislodged and were obstacles to some passengers' access to exits. 6. Emergency lighting systems functioned as intended in the 30 evacuation cases investigated in detail. 7. In 43 of the 46 evacuation cases in the Safety Board's study, floor level exit doors were opened without difficulty. 8. Passengers continue to have problems opening overwing exits and stowing the hatch. The manner in which the exit is opened and the hatch is stowed is not intuitively obvious to passengers nor is it easily depicted graphically. 9. Most passengers seated in exit rows do not read the safety information provided to assist them in understanding the tasks they may need to perform in the event of an emergency evacuation, and they do not receive personal briefings from flight attendants even though personal briefings can aid passengers in their understanding of the tasks that they may be called upon to perform. 10. On some Fokker airplanes, flight attendants are seated too far from their assigned primary exit to provide immediate assistance to passengers who attempt to evacuate through the exit. 11. Overall, in 37 percent (7 of 19) of the evacuations with slide deployments in the Safety Board's study cases, there were problems with at least one slide. A slide problem in 37 percent of the evacuations in which slides were deployed is unacceptable for a safety system. 12. The majority of serious evacuation-related injuries in the Safety Board's study cases, excluding the Little Rock, Arkansas, accident, occurred at airplane door and overwing exits without slides. 13. Pilots are not receiving consistent guidance, particularly in flight operations and safety manuals, on when to evacuate an airplane. 14. Passengers benefit from precautionary safety briefings just prior to emergency occurrences. 15. Limiting exit use during evacuations in the Safety Board's study was not in accordance with the respective air carrier's existing evacuation procedures. At a minimum, all available floor level exits that are not blocked by a hazard should be used during an evacuation. 16. Evacuations involving slide use could be delayed if passengers sit at exits before boarding a slide or if crew commands do not direct passengers how to get onto a slide. 17. Without hands-on training specific to the airplane types that frequent their airports, aircraft rescue and firefighting personnel may be hindered in their ability to quickly and efficiently assist during evacuations. 18. Communication and coordination problems continue to exist between flight crews and flight attendants during airplane evacuations. Joint exercises for flight crews and flight attendants on evacuation have proven effective in resolving these problems. 19. Despite efforts and various techniques over the years to improve passenger attention to safety briefings, a large percentage of passengers continue to ignore preflight safety briefings. Also, despite guidance in the form of Federal Aviation Administration advisory circulars, many air carrier safety briefing cards do not clearly communicate safety information to passengers. 20. Passengers' efforts to evacuate an airplane with their carry-on baggage continue to pose a problem for flight attendants and are a serious risk to a successful evacuation of an airplane. Techniques on how to handle passengers who do not listen to flight attendants' instructions need to be addressed. 21. Unwarranted evacuations following Boeing 727 auxiliary power unit (APU) torching continue to exist despite past efforts by the Federal Aviation Administration to address this issue. 22. Evacuations continue to occur that are hampered by inefficient communication. Current evacuation communication would be significantly enhanced by the installation of independently powered evacuation alarms on all newly manufactured transport-category airplanes. 23. The frequency of false indications on the two regional airplanes in the Safety Board's study cases-the Saab 340 and the Canadair Regional Jet-is too high. There are insufficient data, however, to determine if the frequency of false smoke indications is peculiar to the two regional airplanes in the Safety Board's study or if the problem is more widespread. 24. Air carriers do not always make reports to the FAA SDR system, or reports are inadequate, to identify the extent of component problems or failures. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS As a result of this safety study, the National Transportation Safety Board made the following safety recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration: 1.a Require all newly certificated commercial airplanes to meet the evacuation demonstration requirements prescribed in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 25, regardless of the number of passenger seats on the airplane. 1.b Require all commercial operators to meet the partial evacuation demonstration requirements prescribed in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121, regardless of the number of passenger seats on the airplane. 2. Conduct additional research that examines the effects of different exit row widths, including 13 inches and 20 inches, on exit hatch removal and egress at Type III exits. The research should use an experimental design that reliably reflects actual evacuations through Type III (self help) exits on commercial airplanes. 3. Issue a final rule on exit row width at Type III (self help) exits based on the research described in Safety Recommendation (forthcoming). 4. Require Type III overwing (self help) exits on newly manufactured aircraft to be easy and intuitive to open and have automatic hatch stowage out of the egress path. 5. Require air carriers to provide all passengers seated in exit rows in which a qualified crewmember is not seated a preflight personal briefing on what to do in the event the exit may be needed. 6. Require flight attendants on Fokker 28 and Fokker 100 airplanes to be seated adjacent to their assigned primary exit. (This recommendation may be revised) 7. Review the 6-foot height requirement for exit assist means to determine if 6 feet continues to be the appropriate height below which an assist means is not needed. This review should include, at a minimum, an examination of injuries sustained during evacuations. 8. Require flight operations manuals and safety manuals to include on abnormal and emergency procedures checklists a checklist item that directs flight crews to initiate or consider emergency evacuation in all emergencies that could reasonably require an airplane evacuation (for example, cabin fire or engine fire). 9. Review air carriers' procedures to ensure that for those situations in which crews anticipate an eventual evacuation, adequate guidance is given both to pilots and flight attendants on providing passengers with precautionary safety briefings. 10. Review air carrier training programs to ensure that evacuation procedures call, at a minimum, for evacuation through all available floor level exits that are not blocked by a hazard. 11. Review air carrier procedures and training programs to ensure that the commands used for slide evacuations are consistent with the commands used for slide evacuations during certification. 12. Establish a task force to address the issue of providing periodic hands-on familiarization training, or the equivalent, for aircraft rescue and firefighting personnel at all 14 CFR Part 139 certified airports on each airplane type that serves the airport on a scheduled basis. 13. Require air carriers to conduct periodic joint evacuation exercises involving flight crews and flight attendants. 14. Conduct research and explore creative and effective methods that use state-of-the-art technology to convey safety information to passengers. The presented information should include a demonstration of all emergency evacuation procedures, such as how to open the emergency exits and exit the aircraft, including how to use the slides. 15. Require minimum comprehension testing for safety briefing cards. 16. Develop advisory material to address ways to minimize the problems associated with carry-on luggage during evacuations. 17. Require air carriers that operate Boeing 727s to include in the auxiliary power unit (APU) procedures instructions, when passengers are on board, that the flight crew will make a public address announcement about APU starts immediately prior to starting the APU. (This recommendation may be revised) 18. Require all newly manufactured transport-category airplanes operating under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 to be equipped with independently powered evacuation alarm systems operable from each crewmember station, and establish procedures and provide training to flight crews and flight attendants regarding the use of such systems. 19. Document the extent of false indications for cargo smoke detectors on all airplanes and improve the reliability of the detectors. (more...)
