The center of a large tornado comes down the middle of your street, which is oriented southwest to northeast. on your side of the street, some roof structure are removed and outdoor storage shed are flattened but your brick house has lost no walls and your car is still right-side-up in your driveway. on the opposite side of the street house have lost most walls except most interior rooms. your house is on which side of the street?

Northwest

Explanation:

You can infer that your house is in the northwest side of the street because, since the very center of the tornado is in the middle of the street and the fact that the house is made out of brick and both the house and the car have suffered almost no damage, but the other houses on the other side of the street have, you know that your house is far away from the tornado and the farthest side is northwest.

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
