In the criminal common law of England and Wales, a common scold was a type of public nuisance. The term was applied to a woman who caused trouble and who disturbed the peace by arguing and fighting with her neighbours all the time. The Latin language name for this type of woman was "communis rixatrix". This name's grammar only applies to females. This makes it clear that only women could commit this type of crime. When British people first went to the North America, they took this crime with them. The crime was often punished by "ducking". Ducking meant that the offender was placed in a chair over a river or pond. They were then lowered into the water, until they were all in the water. This was done several times. Few people were actually convicted of being a common scold, but it remained a crime listed on the law books of England and Wales until 1967. Because it applied only to women, it was eventually banned in the United States. This was because the U.S. Constitution (the highest law in the U.S.) does not allow people to be treated differently from each other. This comes from a section of the Constitution called the Equal Protection Clause. Crime and punishment. In the "Commentaries on the Laws of England", William Blackstone says of this crime: Lastly, a common scold, "communis rixatrix", (for our law-latin confines it to the feminine gender) is a public nuisance to her neighbourhood. For which offence she may be indicted; and, if convicted, shall be sentenced to be placed in a certain engine of correction called the trebucket, castigatory, or cucking stool, which in the Saxon language signifies the scolding stool; though now it is frequently corrupted into ducking stool, because the residue of the judgement is, that, when she is so placed therein, she shall be plunged in the water for her punishment.——Commentaries on the Laws of England, IV:13.5.8, p. *169  The common punishment for being a common scold was forcing the woman found guilty under water over and over. This was done using a piece of furniture called a "c

The Texas Revolution was a fight for Texas, which eventually achieved its independence from Mexico. Background.   "The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836)  Texas has the largest area of any state in the continental United States.  But Texas wasn't always as large as it is today. During the early 1830s, when Texas was a part of Mexico, Texas only included the eastern half of the present-day state. The rest of the present-day state of Texas was split between the Mexican territory of New Mexico and several other Mexican states, including Coahuila and Chihuahua. The countries of Spain and Mexico claimed Texas for much of the 1700s and 1800s. However, a powerful Native American tribe called the Comanche (kuh-MAN-chee) controlled much of the area. Today, historians call the territory that the Comanche controlled Comanchería (kuh-man-chuh-REE-uh). The Comanche wanted to keep settlers out of Comanchería. So the Comanche took horses and other supplies from areas that historians call "raiding"  "zones". Later on, when Texas fought for its independence from Mexico, some Texan leaders asked for Cherokee support. When Texas became part of Mexico in 1821, most of the people in Texas belonged to Native American groups such as the Comanche. The population of Texas changed a lot over the next 15 years, though. In the 1820s and 1830s, the population of Texas included these groups: Over its history, many different groups of people have chosen to settle in Texas. Today, Texas is one of the most diverse states in the United States. In other words, people in Texas come from "many" different backgrounds just Tejano, Anglo, or Native American. Because of its time as a part of Mexico, Texas is filled with Mexican-inspired culture. Over time, Tejano culture blended with Anglo culture to create new forms of food, music, and ways of life that are uniquely Texan. Other groups, like immigrants from central Europe, have also contributed to the culture of Texas.

Pit bull is a word used to describe several breeds of dog. This includes the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bully and Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and dogs with a mix of these breeds. In some locations, the modern American Bulldog and Bull Terrier are described as a "pit bull-type dog". Pit bull can also mean dogs that were known as "bull terriers" before the development of the modern Bull Terrier in the early 20th century. These dogs were bred by crossing bulldog breeds and terriers. Pit bulls are very strong and can pull many times their weight. They were also bred for dog fighting. The place where such dogs fought was called a "pit". As such dogs can be dangerous, very often a special permit is needed to breed or to own them. Some places or countries may have forbidden their use. Best Friends Animal Society says pit bulls are good family pets if raised in a loving home and trained well. They say that then they are loyal, intelligent, loving, playful and very obedient pets. Pediatric trauma experts differ. They say pit bulls should not be around children. Pit bulls cause the most serious dog attack injuries and the most deaths from dog attacks Over 30 countries have varying degrees of laws regulating pit bull ownership.

The International Association of Handicapped Divers, the IAHD, is an association whose aim is to promote, develop and conduct programs for the training of people with a disability in scuba diving. Since it's began in 1993 the IAHD has held many professional and nonprofessional programs at locations all around the world. The IAHD is a non profit foundation and all the people on the board are volunteers. There are also volunteers in regions around the world.

A person with a disability gets these benefits as well as increased social activity by taking up an activity like scuba diving. The risks in training a disabled person in diving are no higher than for able bodied people. Instructors may have to alter some of the techniques and some equipment may also need changing to meet the individual's need. In some cases extra pool and / or open water training may be needed. In some extreme cases even individual lessons may be needed. IAHD believes that people with a disability should be in a regular class at some point in their training. Being involved with activities like scuba diving may even result in giving a person with a disability a renewed interest in life and provide positive and lasting benefits.
