A Quonset hut () is a simple building made of steel and with two side-walls having the shape of a half-circle. Quonset huts are made at a factory and then later put together at their location. They use steel that is corrugated and galvanized.

The Quonset hut was first designed in the United States. It was based on the Nissen hut, which was made by the British during World War I. Hundreds of thousands of Quonset huts were made during World War II. After the war, the left over huts were sold to the public. The name comes from the site where they were first made. This was Quonset Point at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center in Davisville, Rhode Island.
Design and history 
The first Quonset huts were made in 1941 for the United States Navy. They needed a building that could be used for many different purposes. At the same time, it had to be light and easy to ship. It also had to be possible to put it together without skilled workers. The George A. Fuller construction company made the first Quonset huts. They were made within 60 days of signing the contract. Afterwards Quonset huts were made by many factories around the world.

The original design was a  ×  building with a  radius. The most common design was  ×  with a  radius. This created  of usable floor space with optional  overhangs at each end to protect the entrances from the weather. Other sizes were also made.
The sides were made from corrugated steel sheets. The two ends were covered with plywood which had doors and windows. The inside was insulated and had pressed wood lining and a wood floor. The building could be placed on concrete, on pilings, or directly on the ground with a wood floor. The inside space was open, so it could be used for a variety of purposes. Some uses were as barracks, latrines, medical and dental offices, isolation wards, housing, and bakeries.

About 150,000 to 170,000 Quonset huts were made during World War II. The military then sold the extra huts to the public after the war. Many are still used in the United States for various purposes. Some are also still in active use at the United States military bases.

Pehlwani is a form of wrestling from the Indian subcontinent. It was developed in the Mughal Empire by combining native malla-yuddha with influences from Persian varzesh-e bastani. The words pehlwani and kushti derive from the Persian terms pahlavani and kosht respectively. It is likely that the word derives from the Iranian word "Pehalavi" denoting to people of Iranian descent.

Sexual consent is consent to engage in sexual activity.

Sexual activity without consent is considered rape or other sexual assault. However, consent does not always mean the activity is legal.

Each country has an age of consent, which sets a minimum age at which a person can legally consent to have sexual intercourse.

Sexual consent relies on both partners of sexual activity to agree on doing sexual activity. Often, a person will say to their partner that they have sexual consent. However, just because someone appears to have sexual consent does not mean it is legal. Some people are legally considered unable to truly make full consent (such as a minor or a drunk person). People may also consent to unwanted sexual activity.

Human sexuality
Consent occurs when one person voluntarily agrees to the proposal or desires of another. It is a term of common speech, with specific definitions as used in such fields as the law, medicine, research, and sexual relationships.

The person agreeing must meet certain criteria: 
 He or she must have a certain age. In the case of consenting to a sexual relationship this age is known as the age of consent.
He or she must be able to clearly see the consequences of consenting. People with certain mental illnesses cannot consent, even though they may be adults.
 He or she must be awake. People who are unconscious, or sleeping cannot consent.This may also be true for people who are under the influence of certain drugs.

Types of Consent 
There are several types of consent commonly used in a variety of different situations. The types of consent, and how to use them, may be very important.
Sexual Consent 
Sexual consent is the agreement to have sex/a sexual relationship. A lack of consent in this situation, mainly a lack of consent before sex, is often referred to as rape (A highly illegal activity).
