Automobile handling
Automobile handling and vehicle handling are descriptions of the way a wheeled vehicle responds and reacts to the inputs of a driver, as well as how it moves along a track or road. It is commonly judged by how a vehicle performs particularly during cornering, acceleration, and braking as well as on the vehicle's directional stability when moving in steady state condition.

In the automotive industry, handling and braking are the major components of a vehicle's "active" safety. They also affect its ability to perform in auto racing. The maximum lateral acceleration is, along with braking, regarded as a vehicle’s road holding ability. Automobiles driven on public roads whose engineering requirements emphasize handling over comfort and passenger space are called  sports cars.

Inboard brake
An inboard brake is an automobile brake mounted on the chassis of the vehicle, rather than directly on a wheel hub. It began with drum brakes and evolved to disks, and creates a reduction in the unsprung mass (by relocating the brake discs and calipers from the wheel hubs to rear drive components).  It also improves brake performance by applying its force directly to the chassis, rather than being transferred to it through the suspension arms.

Cardinal gem
Cardinal gems are gemstones which have traditionally been considered precious above all others. The classification of the cardinal gems dates back to antiquity, and was largely determined by ceremonial or religious use as well as rarity. The term has largely fallen out of use.

The five traditional cardinal gems are:

amethyst (purple) – Rare and precious in the Old World until large deposits were found in Brazil.

diamond (transparent)

emerald (green)

ruby (red)

sapphire (blue)

Emerald
Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) colored green by trace amounts of chromium or sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale. Most emeralds have many inclusions, so their toughness (resistance to breakage) is classified as generally poor. Emerald is a cyclosilicate. It occurs mainly in association with quartz, muscovite, albite, schorl, microcline, fluorite, smoky quartz and elbaite.
