The 11 foot 8 Bridge ( formally known as the Norfolk Southern -- Gregson Street Overpass and nicknamed The Can - Opener ) is a railroad bridge in Durham , North Carolina , United States , that has attracted media coverage and popular attention because tall vehicles such as trucks and RVs frequently collide with the unusually low overpass , resulting in damage ranging from RV roof air conditioners being scraped off to entire truck roofs being removed . The 78 - year - old bridge along South Gregson Street provides only 11 feet 8 inches ( 3.56 m ) of vertical clearance . It can not be raised , because nearby railroad crossings would also have to be raised with it . The street also can not be lowered , because a major sewer line runs only four feet ( 1.2 m ) under Gregson Street . | where is the 11 foot 8 inch bridge | Durham , North Carolina |

In 1845 , the Republic of Texas was annexed to the United States of America , becoming the 28th U.S. state . Border disputes between the new state and Mexico , which had never recognized Texas independence and still considered the area a renegade Mexican state , led to the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 -- 1848 ) . When the war concluded , Mexico relinquished its claim on Texas , as well as other regions in what is now the southwestern United States . Texas ' annexation as a state that tolerated slavery had caused tension in the United States among slave states and those that did not allow slavery . The tension was partially defused with the Compromise of 1850 , in which Texas ceded some of its territory to the federal government to become non-slave - owning areas but gained El Paso . | just before texas became a us state in 1845 texas was | annexed to the United States of America |

A rift valley is a linear - shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault . A rift valley is formed on a divergent plate boundary , a crustal extension , a spreading apart of the surface , which is subsequently further deepened by the forces of erosion . When the tensional forces were strong enough to cause the plate to split apart , a center block dropped between the two blocks at its flanks , forming a graben . The drop of the center creates the nearly parallel steeply dipping walls of a rift valley when it is new . That feature is the beginning of the rift valley , but as the process continues , the valley widens , until it becomes a large basin that fills with sediment from the rift walls and the surrounding area . One of the best known examples of this process is the East African Rift . On Earth , rifts can occur at all elevations , from the sea floor to plateaus and mountain ranges in continental crust or in oceanic crust . They are often associated with a number of adjoining subsidiary or co-extensive valleys , which are typically considered part of the principal rift valley geologically . | a rift valley is evidence of which kind of plate boundary | a divergent plate boundary |

Electronegativity , symbol χ , is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons ( or electron density ) towards itself . An atom 's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus . The higher the associated electronegativity number , the more an element or compound attracts electrons towards it . | the ability of an atom to attract electron towards itself is called | Electronegativity |

An Indian reservation is a legal designation for an area of land managed by a federally recognized Native American tribe under the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs rather than the state governments of the United States in which they are physically located . Each of the 326 Indian reservations in the United States is associated with a particular Native American nation . Not all of the country 's 567 recognized tribes have a reservation -- some tribes have more than one reservation , while some share reservations . In addition , because of past land allotments , leading to some sales to non-Native Americans , some reservations are severely fragmented , with each piece of tribal , individual , and privately held land being a separate enclave . This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative , political , and legal difficulties . | how many indian reservations are in the us | 326 Indian reservations in the United States |

By far the most commonly used fixative in histology is formaldehyde . It is usually used as a 10 % neutral buffered formalin ( NBF ) , that is approx . 3.7 % - 4.0 % formaldehyde in phosphate - buffered saline . Because formaldehyde is a gas at room temperature , formalin - formaldehyde gas dissolved in water ( ~ 37 % w / v ) is used when making the former fixative . Paraformaldehyde is a polymerized form of formaldehyde , usually obtained as a fine white powder , which depolymerises back to formalin when heated . Formaldehyde fixes tissue by cross-linking the proteins , primarily the residues of the basic amino acid lysine . Its effects are reversible by excess water and it avoids formalin pigmentation . Other benefits include : Long term storage and good tissue penetration . It is particularly good for immunohistochemistry techniques . Also the formaldehyde vapor can be used as a fixative for cell smears . | commonly used as a preservative for tissue specimens | formaldehyde |
The production team behind Full House did not want people to know that Michelle was played by a set of twins , so the girls were credited as `` Mary - Kate Ashley Olsen '' for most of the show 's run ( making it appear as if a single actress had the first name Mary - Kate and the middle name Ashley ) . Although the two were credited separately as `` Mary - Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen '' during the closing credits in the series ' first season ( they were not officially added to the opening title sequence until season two but were credited in the syndicated versions of the season one opening titles ) , it was not until the eighth and final season that the twins were credited as `` Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen '' in the opening titles . Despite the fact that the Olsens are fraternal twins , their physical appearances were nonetheless similar enough so that few could tell the difference between the two over the course of the show 's run . In season one , Mary - Kate was used more often due to the fact Ashley cried when she was put on set for a scene . | which olsen twin was in full house more | Mary - Kate |
