What is the main theme of Fahrenheit 451?

Expert Answers
kmj23 eNotes educator| Certified Educator

Arguably, the main theme of Fahrenheit 451 is censorship. According to Beatty, censorship came into being as a result of the majority who, over a period of time, chose entertainment over the pursuit of knowledge:

School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped…Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work.

But this pursuit of pleasure created a society filled with ignorance and technology. We see this most clearly through the character of Mildred. While she has the constant company of the parlour walls, she is miserable and isolated, as demonstrated by her suicide attempt in Part One.

In addition, censorship has created a group of social outsiders, like Clarisse and Faber, who question the status quo and then find themselves ostracised. These individuals have a great impact on Montag and their desire for knowledge contributes to his change from fireman to social outsider. It is the dangers of censorship, however, which provides the impetus for Montag, after he witnesses a woman give her life for her books:

There must be something in books, things we can't imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there, you don't stay for nothing.

Whose life does the author allude to in his description of Crummell's three temptations?

Expert Answers
Jessica Pope eNotes educator| Certified Educator
In his essay, "Of Alexander Crumell," W. E. B. DuBois alludes to the life of Jesus Christ by making references to symbolic transitions in Crumell's life that that mirror those found in the story of Christ. According to DuBois, Crummell was called, like Christ, to be a leader and savior of his people: "a voice and a vision called him to be a priest,- a seer to lead the uncalled." Crumell, like Christ, struggled with three temptations. In the "red dawn" of his life, he was tempted by Hate as he observed the cruelty and ignorance of humanity. In the "darkening noonday" he struggled with the temptation of Despair, and at the "twilight" of his life, he was tempted by Doubt. Like Christ - who faced his three temptations during a forty day fast - Crumell's temptations preceed (and seem to prepare him for) deep humiliation and symbolic death. Crumell's humiliation was being rejected from every university he applied to, despite stellar credentials. Christ's humiliation consisted of the pain and shame associated with the Crucifixion. Crumell's symbolic death was his deep depression and suicidal thoughts, which mirror Christ's actual death. In both narratives, the hero's "resurrect;" they emerge from the ordeal with greater power. In narrating Crumell's story so that it alludes to the Christ story, DuBois elevates Crumell's story from one of an individual success to one of mythic and legendary significance.

Characters Discussed

(Great Characters in Literature)

Pavel Ivanovitch Tchitchikov

Pavel Ivanovitch Tchitchikov (PAH-vehl ih-VAH-nuh-vihch CHEET-chee-kof), an adventurer of early nineteenth century Russia. He buys “dead souls,” that is, the names of serfs who have died since the last census but who still continue to cost their owners taxes until they can be written off in the next census. Using their names, he plans to get from his uncle’s estate the money refused him in the old man’s will by mortgaging his own “estate,” with its dead souls, to the Trustee Committee. To find dead souls, he rides from village to village visiting landowners and exerting his charm to obtain the names of dead serfs. The villagers begin to talk and, unable to guess what he is up to, accuse him of all sorts of crimes. He has an encounter with the law and is arrested. He is finally released by an unscrupulous lawyer who brings to light all the local scandals, so that the villagers are glad to get Tchitchikov out of town.

Selifan (SEH-lih-vuhn), Pavel’s coachman, through whose mistake about roads he visits Madame Korobotchkina. They are put onto the right road by her twelve-year-old maid, Pelageya.

Nastasya Petrovna Korobotchkina

Nastasya Petrovna Korobotchkina (nahs-TAH-syuh peht-ROV-nuh koh-roh-BACH-kee-nuh), an overnight hostess who sells Pavel eighteen of her dead souls for fifteen rubles each.

Irrigation Controllers

WaterSense Products Irrigation Controller

WaterSense Products SearchResidential outdoor water use in the United States accounts for more than 9 billion gallons of water each day, mainly for landscape irrigation. Experts estimate that as much as 50 percent of this water is wasted due to overwatering caused by inefficiencies in irrigation methods and systems. Irrigation control technologies can significantly reduce overwatering by applying water only when plants need it.

Smart Watering

Watersense front panelWaterSense labeled irrigation controllers, which act like a thermostat for your sprinkler system telling it when to turn on and off, use local weather and landscape conditions to tailor watering schedules to actual conditions on the site, instead of irrigating using a controller with a clock and a preset schedule.

WaterSense labeled controllers allow watering schedules to better match plants' water needs. With proper installation, programming, and maintenance, homeowners and businesses can use WaterSense labeled controllers instead of standard clock-timer controllers on their existing systems, and no longer worry about wasted water.

To earn the WaterSense label, landscape irrigation controllers must be able to adequately meet the watering needs of a landscape without overwatering. As with all other WaterSense labeled products, WaterSense labeled controllers will be independently certified to ensure that they meet the WaterSense criteria for efficiency and performance.

Read the Weather-Based Irrigation Controller Fact Sheet (1 pg, 442K, About PDF) for more information.

For more detailed information on labeled controllers, their benefits and function, read the WaterSense Labeled Weather–Based Irrigation Controller Mini Report(4 pp, 1.59 MB, About PDF).

WaterSense Savings

Replacing a standard clock timer with a WaterSense labeled irrigation controller can save an average home nearly 8,800 gallons of water annually. If every home in the United States with an automatic sprinkler system installed and properly operated a WaterSense labeled controller, we could save $435 million in water costs and 120 billion gallons of water across the country annually from not overwatering lawns and landscapes. That's equal to the annual household water needs of nearly 1.3 million average American homes. WaterSense labeled controllers can also be a water-smart solution for larger landscapes (1 pg, 754.4KB, About PDF), including such as schools, hotels, and office buildings.

EPA released a final WaterSense specification for weather-based irrigation controllers on November 3, 2011.

Please note: WaterSense has prepared software that the licensed certifying bodies will use to administer the performance test protocol as described in the specification. Manufacturer partners may request a copy of the software by contacting the WaterSense Helpline at watersense@epa.gov or (866) WTR- SENSE (987-7367). The helpline cannot provide technical support for the software. EPA only provides technical support for the software to its licensed certifying bodies as part of the certification process.

For more information about the weather-based irrigation controller specification development process, including the draft specification, public response to the draft specification, EPA's response to the public comments, please visit the Specification for Weather-Based Irrigation Controller Background Materials page.

Manufacturers that produce weather-based irrigation controllers meeting EPA's efficiency and performance criteria can apply to have their products certified to earn the WaterSense label. Before submitting products for testing, manufacturers must have a partnership agreement with EPA in place. Visit the manufacturer section on the partner page to learn more.

  • I've finally ended my search for a delicious coffee cake! I didn't have pecan halves, so I substituted chopped walnuts and modified the finish slightly. I reserved approximately one third of the batter, sprinkled the nuts and cinnamon sugar on the two-thirds in pan, then topped with remaining batter and sprinkled more walnuts and cinnamon sugar on top. This made a moist, cinnamon streusel-like ribbon throughout. Next time will probably cut back slightly on amount of sugar in streusel/topping.

  • It only became a "piece de resistance" when I added a brown sugar, butter, vanilla and pecan topping.. We loved it!

  • This recipe was very easy to make in a short amount of time. I enjoyed it with peaches and whipped cream.

RC Titan Monster Truck 27mhz

RC Titan Monster Truck 27mhz – The Ultimate Monster truck.

The definition for RC monster trucks just got changed.  The Titan is bigger, wider and better than any monster truck that you have ever seen.  The body of the titan is built on a huge double decker chrome frame.  This is a unique feature that can only be seen in the titan.  The RC titan monster truck 27 mhz can withstand the kind of wear and tear that you have never seen before.  Jumps, bumps, somersaults and mighty big crashes, the titan can take it all in its stride and yet get up and blast away as if it were just out of the box.  The titan has a huge 125 cc fuel tank and so you can fill as much as you need for a long racing session.  No longer do you need to take regular refilling breaks.  This also gives unbelievable power to the titan, making it one of the most powerful trucks ever.

Everything that is titan is huge. So are the tires. The tires are super large and have a gargantuan effect on anything in its path. The tires are enabled for a better grip on rough surfaces and so the titan can really crash through any kind of surface. The chassis of the titan is completely chrome plated in both the interiors as well as the external side of it. The engine is a .26 pull start engine and accounts for a whopping 2.5 Horse power output. So now even if there’s a really steep slope, watch the titan cruise up it like it was nothing. It also has an amazing 2 speed transmission with gears made of tough hardened steel. So when you change gears, the transfer of power and speed is nice and smooth. You won’t even realize how easy the titan accelerates its way through the toughest of terrain.

Now the titan also comes equipped with a shaft start system. Although this is an optional feature, you can get this version of the titan if it suits you. The dual steel disc brakes ensure that the truck stops in its tracks whenever you want it to without causing much trouble. So whether you are in the midst of a super wheelie or suddenly something comes in your path, you can bring the titan to a screeching halt instantly. Traction and control levels have been heightened due to the superiorly designed electronics in the Titan. For pictures and videos of the titan or where to get it, follow the link below.

The Right Way to Train With Weights - eVitamins Россия

Whether you lift weights regularly or are just getting into it, it's important to make sure you're taking all the necessary steps for success. Read on to learn how to get the results you want.

Lifting weights isn't just for bodybuilders -- so why do so many people leave it out of their fitness routine?

With multiple benefits when done properly, weight training should be a part of the equation for everyone to strengthen their body and feel their best.

Why Train With Weights?
Using weights can help you reach your health and fitness goals more quickly when added to your fitness routine. Weight training helps you burn fat and build lean muscle mass instead -- muscle also burns calories while at rest to help you lose weight. You'll also gain greater strength for whatever life throws at you and improve your bone density, which is crucial as you get older.

No matter your age, gender, size or what look or fitness level you're trying to reach, everyone can benefit from training with weights at least a couple of times a week.

10 Rules of Proper Weight Training
If you're ready to hit the weights, there are some things to remember to avoid injury and get the results you want. Here the important guidelines to keep in mind when using weights as well as suggestions to take your workout to the next level:

  1. Breathe with each move. To keep your blood pressure in check and keep yourself from getting lightheaded, exhale as you lift or push the weight and inhale on the return.
  2. Pick the right shoes. Wear shoes that will provide support and keep you firmly in place with good traction.
  3. Form is crucial. Never do more reps that you can while maintaining proper form. If you're going for quantity instead of quality, you're setting yourself up for injury. If it hurts, stop. Slow and steady wins the race.
  4. Always warm up first. Don't hurt yourself by cutting corners. Allow yourself adequate time to get your muscles loose with some cardio and dynamic stretching.
  5. Start light. You should be able to get through one set of repetitions (the average is 12) with good form but feel tired at the end. When that gets easy, add more reps or weight.
  6. Bigger weights mean bigger muscles. As you get more advanced, your body will adjust to the weight you're using. If you want to increase muscle mass, you need to lift heavier. Simple as that.
  7. Plan ahead. Know what muscles you're going to work and how before you get up for a morning workout at home or head to the gym. Your workout will be more efficient and effective.
  8. Mix up your routine. Maybe you like to do each muscle group once, twice or three times a week. Try breaking things up if you want to spend more time on a particular area or do full-body workouts with rest days in between.
  9. Add compound moves to burn more calories. If you're looking to maximize efficiency or burn more fat, try compound moves like bicep curls with forward lunges. Just make sure you can perform each component of the move with proper form.
  10. Give your body time to rest. There is no law saying you cannot take a moment to breathe and get water between sets and exercises. You should also work days off into your schedule. Listen to your body.

It also important to ask for help when you need it. If you're just getting started, working with a personal trainer can help you perfect your form and set realistic goals. Keep all of these things in mind when weight training to get the most out of your workout and get the strength and look you want faster. Now, it's time to talk about food.

Proper Nutrition for Weight Training
Before any strength training session, it's important to have some protein for amino acids, which helps the muscle grow and repair itself. You also need carbohydrates, which will fuel the body. Aim to eat one hour before your workout. In the first two hours after your workout, it's crucial for muscle recovery to provide your body with protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats to repair the muscle, encourage growth and prevent soreness the next day.

There are many premade options that can make training easier, such as pre and post-workout shakes and bars. Look for those that are low in sugar and processed ingredients. Make sure to stay properly hydrated before, during and after your workout with plenty of good ol' H2O.

Follow these suggestions and you'll be on your way to a toned, stronger body in no time. Get everything you need at eVitamins and stick with it!

Dr. Jan Vijg of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has made a heavily qualified assertion that the maximum human lifespan is 115 years, plus or minus a bit. It’s a trend-based analysis, an examination of the global lifespan data as it stands. Since the data don’t show anyone living past about 115, with a very few notable exceptions, Vijg says that the data “strongly suggests” that 115 represents a hard limit to human longevity. He goes on to muse that human lifespan is “constrained by the myriad of genetic variants that collectively determine species-specific lifespan.” One hundred fifteen is a ceiling he doesn’t think we’ll break through.

I might be less bothered by Dr. Vijg’s claim if he had stuck with saying “Humans don’t live past 115,” rather than going on to imply that they can’t. Right up there with the inverse error and the availability heuristic, Vijg confuses correlation with causation, and in that way claims too much. Sure, we observe the trend that the shelf life of a human appears to top out at a century, plus or minus some depending on record-keeping. But that doesn’t mean we can say that genetics dictates humans can’t live longer than 115. We just don’t know why they don’t.

Vijg makes a classic logical error called cum hoc ergo propter hoc, just like the example of the relationship between ice cream sales and homicide rates. Ice cream sales and murder rates peak at about the same time each year. This means they’re correlated. But does ice cream actually have anything to do with murder? Not unless you get between me and my Cherry Garcia.

No, seriously, the reason is something else, a variable not accounted for when comparing only the two rates with respect by time. It’s awfully hot in the summer. Hot enough to get under your skin and make you uncomfortable, irritable, and sometimes downright irrational. Some people go buy ice cream. Some people go a-murderin’. Both rates hinge on how heat influences human behavior: a third, unseen factor, hiding in plain sight behind the date.

In this case, there appears to be at least one such unseen factor: DNA. Right now the human genome is “like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can’t read just yet.” There appear to be reasons in the human exome for the way we age, but they’re not programmed in; they’re more like the inevitable consequence of the way the system developed. Debris build up in cells over time until the cells die. Whenever DNA replicates, it appears to lose a bit of its end caps (telomeres) to the process. It’s called senescence. We don’t know how to stop it. We’re still fumbling our way through genomics, and while we’re zeroing in on telomeres to understand what they do and how they do it, we aren’t good enough at genomics yet to let our gene tech out in the wild. Gene therapy is still in its infancy, and telomeres aren’t a magic bullet for longevity either.

Ultimately, Dr. Vijg just doesn’t seem to be paying much attention to any of the recent research advances concerning human longevity, and he doesn’t attempt to present an explanation for the ceiling on longevity that he proposes — that is, beyond a hand-waving assertion that longevity is hard. What he says can be boiled down to “I see a trend in the data and have no explanation for why it’s there.” Again, this study is a trend-based analysis, which is more like what an umpire does — call the tableau as he sees it — than it is like any sort of prognostication or diagnosis. Speculation on why the trend is doing what it’s doing is just that: speculation.

Nevertheless, the study has a point.

The authors contend that the best way forward for our species, in terms of dignified and pleasant aging, is not necessarily to extend our life span. Vijg believes that extending the human health span is much more important. Instead of extending the human life span to 100 years and only having the first 65 or so being really good, the authors put forth the idea that the number of years is less important than how many of one’s years are healthy and enjoyable. There’s a valuable insight in the myth of Tithonus, who was granted immortality but not endless youth, and just withers away forever. It would be deeply unpleasant to just keep aging into a dessicated, Crypt Keeper-like husk, conscious and yet unable to participate. As the saying goes, it’s not about the years in your life; it’s about the life in your years.

Now read: What is gene therapy?

College 101

I promised a while back that I’d write a post for the girls headed off to college, so here it is. I hope it will apply whether you are going away or are living at home while you attend college. And even if you are attending a Christian college, heads up, because there is sin at Christian colleges too.

1. Think like a Christian in class. Don’t be afraid to be identified as a Christian. Many professors will ask leading questions to find out which ones in the class  are the Christians. Don’t back down. Hold your head up. Flunk if necessary. Remember, you are trying to impress God, not your professor.

2. Live like a Christian. If you’re in a dorm or sorority situation, you are living on the front lines. I hope you have been trained well, and you know how to handle yourself. This is no place for beginners. Let everyone know right away that you are a Christian. Don’t keep your head down. Live a holy life, and if you can’t do that in your living situation, move out.

3. Act like a Christian. Don’t cut corners, don’t make allowances or excuses, don’t watch movies or attend parties that you wouldn’t want your parents or your pastor to attend with you. Have high standards and never mind who is offended by them.

4. Choose your friends carefully and don’t fall in with the first people you meet. Get to know everyone, and then make a wise choice. This is especially true when it comes to the opposite sex. Don’t be easily impressed.

5. Read your Bible regularly. Read it before you read anything else. That will keep you in the book. Get involved in a Bible study.

6. Keep your commitments. Go to class. Do your assignments. Get them in on time. Don’t even think about cheating, plagiarizing, or fudging. God will not bless it.

7. Bless your parents by your behavior, your regard for them, your faithful Christian walk, and your work ethic. Talk to them about your friends, your classes, your life.

8. Receive an education. College is not about becoming worldly or sophisticated. Make use of the resources available to you. Learn. Don’t take classes that are a waste of your time and your parents’ money. Switch majors or switch colleges if necessary.

9. Remember your brothers and sisters at home. Write them. Call them. Don’t forget that they miss you. Stay connected.

10. Worship the Lord every Lord’s Day. Don’t skip or sleep in or find excuses. This is more important than everything else.

14 thoughts on “College 101

  1. I like #2. According to each individual situation, you may be paired up with a random roommate in a dorm. I was an unbeliever who by God’s grace was paired up with a believer. (I didn’t know she was, I didn’t stay long enough to find out.) She was very kind, but I very quickly requested a room change so I could be with a highschool buddy. I later had classes with her and found her to be VERY lovely. What a loss for me! In retrospect…it was probably God sovereignly protecting her from my poor influence. So, it may even be necessary to pay a little extra (if you are able)to have a private room so as not to be paired up with the likes of me at the time. Or, like you said, you may need to move.

  2. Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.

    I would like to chime in here and emphasize the importance of number 4, choosing one’s friends carefully. During the first weeks and months away from home, it is so tempting to open up and be vulnerable to whichever group of people is the first to pay attention. BE LONELY, if that’s what it takes to protect yourself, rather than get in with the wrong crowd. If you are a bad judge of character, like me, then plan to spend a lot of time observing people before you join in and participate with them.

  3. Thanks for that Nancy. I’ll be saving this for when my boys get to that phase, the Lord willing….I think it is just as suitable for guys as it is for girls!
    God bless!

  4. Nancy, this is a great post! How exciting it is to be headed off to college, and these are very useful and practical rules to follow!

  5. This is great Nancy, thanks. It causes me to consider what I can do now to equip my 5 year old daughter with excellent character so she isn’t “a beginner” when entering college.

  6. Excellent points for all college students to remember. I went to a large university and the blessing of finding good Christian friends my freshman year helped me to not just “survive”, but for my faith to grow and be strengthened. I also began a habit of writing down my prayers in college. It was sweet time with the Lord and I still enjoy going back and being reminded of how faithful the Lord was during those important years of my life.

  7. These are wonderful thoughts not only for college but for life. We are to always think, live, and act like a christian. Friendships are important because we do influence each other greatly. But let us not think that hiding in our Christian Cliques is spiritual. I believe a good rule of thumb is that if my “walk” is weak and therefore influenced negatively by another then it is my Christian duty to deny that friendship. But I pray that my walk in the Lord can be strong enough that it influences others for Christ. The world needs to see Christ and the only way they can do that is if they can see our lives up close and personal. The questions is, “who is the stronger influencer in the relationship?”

  8. So true. I regret all the poor decisions/compromises I made in university, and I failed on every single one of these points. I went away to school thinking that I was a strong, committed Christian, and once I made friends and lived with unbelievers, I discovered how weak my faith really was…and I don’t think we can know until we’re there…so best to avoid those situations. It was truly a low period in my walk with God, and I know that I’m blessed to not have fallen away from Him completely and instead be restored.

    I know we will be very careful and involved in our daughter’s post-secondary education.

  9. I’m just chiming in here because I was a new believer when I went across the country for college. I was also a college athlete, and want to underscore that “Christian” college does not necessarily mean Christian athletes. Few athletes in our college were even remotely associated with the church, much less standing firm against the daily profaning of God’s name. Our coaches were thoroughgoing pagans. The Christians I knew were wobbly-kneed at best, and most of them did not return to the church until after college, if at all. My first few months of college were the loneliest of days for me. I remember regularly lying on my dorm room floor pleading with God to give me godly friends. He did. And a life-transforming church, a biblical campus ministry, and a family away from family.

    But I don’t intend to send my daughter into the same situation. My mother did all she knew to send me to a good school, a safe school. But we learned the hard way that Christian in name can be miles away from Christian in creed and conduct.

    If a college girl finds herself in a situation similar to mine, I would encourage her to find a good church family as soon as possible. Stick as close to the people of God as possible. I didn’t have a car, and finding a church was quite difficult at first. But once I settled on a church (and walked almost a mile to worship every week!), a family in the church offered to pick me up every Sunday. Truly, God’s people saw me through my college years. The church was the center of my college experience, the core of my growth as a person.

  10. #1: “Many professors will ask leading questions to find out which ones in the class are the Christians.” If my experience is any indication, this isn’t true. There may be a few bullies out there, but if there were many of them I’d have certainly found one. I never had a single professor that cared a thing about what religion anyone was.

    #8 is ambiguous. Don’t take classes that are a waste of time and money? The lack of clarity is in what is a waste of time and money. Black studies is generally a waste of both, but learning Latin isn’t, even if your major doesn’t require it. College is to some degree about becoming ‘worldly and sophisticated’, because education in general is about producing a certain kind of person, and almost no one throughout history has educated towards a goal of provincial and primitive students. But this is complicated by the fact that our society is currently absurd and has no idea what it means to be sophisticated and worldly. So you may actually agree with everything I just said.

  11. Wonderful advice, I wish I’d read that 13 years ago before I showed up at UI! Thankfully, God was more kind than my cluelessness deserved.

Don Quixote figurine
marked with a pair of pitch forks formed into a V with a comb on top
Hermes Figurine
S mark above star

Thanks for any help with these pieces which were given to me by a collector who, like me, is more in to English porcelain...I believe that these are European.

The first is a set of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza figures which have a mark which I have tried to search for but find it impossible to describe - blue amphora with bristles on top?? are these spanish? how old? would love to know any information that readers may have ...

The second piece is a figure which I believe is Hermes. The problem is that I find it impossible to decipher all of the crossed sword marks - handles, no handles,small date marks above the swords?? would this be nineteenth century? is it dresden? I would love any advice..

Answer to the V shaped mark with comb and observations on the S with star
by: Peter (admin)

Hi Nic

The V mark with prongs and comb is Rudolstadt/Volkstedt maker - the Porcelain Factory of Richard Eckert & Co. which operated from 1894 to 1918 (formerly Triebner Ens & Eckert 1877 to 1894).

The other mark I can't find right now, but it looks like an 'S' with a star rather than crossed swords. It looks genuine. I'll keep looking.

Thanks for posting,

Peter (admin)

Impressive knowledge on this site!
by: Nic

That is so kind- I actually gave the Don Quijote figures to a spanish friend but I will be passing on your excellent research. Many thanks and I am keen to find out anything about the figure I still have! Best regards Nick

Star mark with S
by: Stewart

Hi, Your star mark, is a crossed lines mark with the S with (Is shown the wrong up) is for the Paris firm of SAMSONS, of the Rue Beranger, Paris. France. & date to after 1898. Hope this helps. Regards Stewart.

Much appreciated
by: Anonymous

Thank you so much Stewart.Its very hard for those with less experience and knowledge to decipher the vagaries of these marks and I have the utmost respect for those who are kind enough to pass on their wisdom! Many thanks, N

S with Star Mark - SOLVED by Stewart!
by: Peter (admin)

Thank you so much for solving the mystery of the crossed lines star marking with an S (for Samson) initial underneath the star, rather than on top - being Samson of Paris.

Also, thanks for confirming it is a star made with lines rather than crossed swords.

Best regards

Preity missed IPL closing ceremony for Ness

By: By: Subhadeep Bhattacjarjee
Subscribe to Filmibeat

Katrina Kaif may have given a sizzling performance during the closing ceremony of the IPL but fans wondered where was Preity Zinta. The co-owner of the Kings XI Punjab was nowhere to be seen when her team was being awarded the Kingfisher Fair Play Trophy . The reason, well pretty obvious Preity did not want to stand next to her ex beau Ness Wadia while the trophy was being awarded.

The split between Preity and Ness was quite evident throughout the tournament. The former couple were never seen together during the tournament. Preity used to cheer her team from the dugout while Ness used to sit in the stand with officials. Recently Preity had acknowledged that she was single but was professionally committed to Ness for their team Kings XI Punjab.

How Many Wheels Does a F1 Car Have?

Photo credit: David Merrett

It sounds like a bit of a trick question, doesn’t it? How many wheels belong on a Formula 1 car? Do we count the steering wheel? Actually, it’s not a trick question at all and you just need to count the wheels which touch the ground.

If you answered four then you would be right most of the time but this month might give you a little surprise. You might just come across one which makes you do a double take when you see how many tyres are on it.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is where you want to be if you fancy seeing a F1 vehicle which boasted an impressive total of 6 wheels.  The model is a March 2-4-0 from the mid seventies and it is, frankly, rather groovy.

It takes its starting point from the Tyrell P24, which was relatively successful and had its “extra” two wheels at the front. The difference with the March is that it has the standard pair of wheels at the front and four at the back.

Testing Problems

The wacky six wheeler was build in Bicester in 1976 and tested out the following year. Due to cash problems it was never entered in a competitive race. It became obvious very quickly during its first spell of testing at Silverstone that extra time and money were needed to solve some basic problems with the gearbox.

The extra wheels at the back are to give it extra grip and it is powered by a Cosworth engine, as are some other classic racing cars which are going to be at the Goodwood event.   It runs from the 29th of June through to the 1st of July and is sure to provide some great entertainment for anyone who like a bit of 4 wheeled (or 6  wheeled) action. Don’t forget that you need to buy the tickets in advance.

Dacia Sandero Stepway most popular in UK

Dacia Sandero Stepway

Dacia Sandero Stepway – click for hi-res image

With an impressive package of well-designed and well-made cars at rock bottom prices, Dacia had every intention of shaking up the UK car market.

And nearly two years after launching a new line-up here they are already looking at snapping up a 1% market share, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

Across Europe there has been a similar success story, more than 3 million people have bought their vehicles.

Dacia Sandero Stepway is a success story

In the UK, the firm’s success story is one that is going from strength-to-strength and they’ve sold more than 35,000 vehicles since the beginning of 2013.

For British buyers, the most popular vehicle in the model line-up is the Dacia Sandero Stepway.

As one of the fastest-growing marques around, the firm has sold 18,583 vehicles this year so far – which is more than they sold for the whole of last year. Sales are up by nearly 60%.

Dacia Sandero Stepway is hugely popular

Dacia is an arm of French car building giant Renault and these bargain motors found 3,523 new owners in September 2014.

At this rate, the firm will soon outsell Jaguar and Mitsubishi in the UK.

There’s no doubt that we are increasingly seeing more Dacias on our roads and unlike other manufacturers, most buyers are private individuals rather than being fleets and business users. Indeed, 92% of its customers are private buyers.

Get this car on personal contract hire

There’s no doubting the excellent value for money package that comes with buying a Dacia – the Dacia Sandero starts at less than £6,000.

It might be lacking in kit and comforts (some models do not come with a radio, for instance) but it’s road handling is very good and it’s a pleasant place to be.

The Dacia Sandero Stepway is a crossover hatchback which costs £8,395 and there’s an estate car too called the Logan MCV at £6,995.

The firm also unveiled its new Duster, an impressive SUV, last month which costs from £9,495. This is despite the new vehicle having new styling and more equipment than the outgoing model but there was no increase in its price.

Enforcing Trucking Rules

Truck drivers need to follow many federal rules. These rules are designed to help prevent trucking collisions and to keep you safe. For example, truck drivers are required by law to take rest breaks to ensure that they are not driving dangerously tired. They must also keep track of their rest stops, the visual inspections of their trucks, and their cargo. There are limits as to the amount of cargo they can carry and the amount of miles they can drive each day. Truck drivers also must pass health checkups, written tests, and practical exams to get their license.

The problem with these regulations is that in order for them to work they must be enforced. When truck drivers or carriers ignore the rules, trucking collisions in Hollywood and Florida occur, injuring innocent people. Unfortunately, truck drivers and companies have financial incentives to break the rules. When trucks are overloaded with cargo or when truck drivers stay on the road longer than they are allowed to, the cost of the transport declines. Unfortunately, so does the safety of the delivery.

The Challenges with Enforcement

Police and other authorities are supposed to notice and stop trucks that are dangerous so that these vehicles can be removed from the road. Unfortunately, in many cases trucks are never caught violating the rules or are cited but never face any real consequences for breaking the rules. There are many reasons why trucks and trucking companies escape enforcement:

  • Truck carriers may re-organize as a new company with a different name to get away from charges against them
  • Truck drivers cross state lines so it is harder to pursue them
  • Police may not know what to look for in a truck inspection
  • Trucks may use less-frequented roads to escape notice
  • Log books and paperwork may be falsified to hide wrongdoing

A New Program for Enforcement

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is starting a nation-wide program to encourage enforcement of trucking regulations. The program, set to start this month, will train police officers how to pull over a truck safely, how to file the correct documentation, and how to conduct a truck inspection.

According to the Transportation Research Board, police are trained to pull over a range of vehicles disobeying traffic rules. However, research has shown that some officers hesitate when pulling over large trucks because they are not confident that they can do so safely or are not sure about the paperwork, inspections, or regulations involved. Truck traffic stops are different than stopping passenger cars. Trucks are subject to more rules and some drivers may be from out of state. Conducting an inspection can be a challenge if a police officer is not familiar with big rigs and heavy trucks. The FMCSA program is designed to address these issues and to give police more information and tools to enforce trucking regulations.

Enforcing the rules is important, but what happens if a driver or truck company breaks the rules and you are injured as a result? In addition to contacting police, you can call Flaxman Law Group, a law firm in South Florida. Our attorneys can help you understand whether you have a civil case. If you do, our attorneys can take care of all the details of your case and pursue compensation for the losses you have suffered. Often, civil cases have a significant impact on safety because they may force trucking companies to make important safety changes. If you would like to know more about what you can do, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free consultation.

Chimera Investment (NYSE: CIM) is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, within the U.S. that invests in residential-mortgage-backed securities, residential and commercial mortgage loans, and real-estate-related securities.

Today, let's look at three things investors should be watching regarding Chimera Investment, as they will provide us better insight into the company.

1. Fed Funds target rates
The mortgage REIT business is anything but glamorous, but it can be quite profitable if the stars align and the Federal Reserve's policy targets on the Federal Funds rate remain low.

Mortgage REITs make money on the difference between the cost at which they borrow and the rate at which they lend. This difference, known as the net interest margin, tends to be wider when interest rates remain low and consumers are out looking for loans to take advantage of, as opposed to when rates begin to rise. Therefore, understanding the Fed's policy toward interest rates will go a long way toward understanding how profitable mREITs will be.

In recent months, net interest spreads have been tightening which have caused those bountiful mREIT profits to shrink considerably. American Capital Agency's (Nasdaq: AGNC) second-quarter results highlighted a sequential 66-basis-point drop in average net interest margin while Two Harbors Investment (NYSE: TWO) noted a 30-basis-point drop in net interest margin over the previous quarter. With its ability to purchase a large amount of non-agency loans, Chimera may have a bit more flexibility on net interest margin, but it's nonetheless worth keeping an eye on.

2. Leverage and agency vs. non-agency loans
With relatively small operating margins, the way mREIT's pile on the profits is by issuing shares and using the cash from those share issuances to leverage their MBS portfolios. This strategy can work wonders when the conditions are right, but a rapid deterioration in the real estate market can also cause this house of cards to come crashing down as the Fool's Dan Caplinger has cautioned in the past.

One really important factor worth keeping an eye on is what type of risk an mREIT is willing to undertake. Traditionally popular mREIT's like American Capital and Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) invest only in agency-backed securities. This means most of their investments are backed by the full faith of the U.S. government and are free of losses in case of a default. That's not the case with Chimera, Two Harbors, or Invesco Mortgage Capital (NYSE: IVR) which both own a mixture of agency and non-agency assets (although the ratio of non-agency to agency-backed loans is actually quite small for Invesco). Typically, this means non-agency-based companies offer lower leverage ratios, but come with the added risk of unsecured loans.

3. Dividends and restatement
Let's be honest without ourselves; the real reason Chimera is an attractive company is its 15% dividend yield! Keep in mind, though, that there's more behind a yield than just the number on paper. In fact, Chimera's quarterly payout has dropped five times since 2010. But, don't worry; Chimera has stuck to its guns about paying out a consistent $0.09 per quarter through the remainder of 2012.

Another key aspect worth watching is the company's earnings restatement. Earlier this month Chimera released the findings of its year-long accounting investigation and determined that it'd need to restate earnings from 2008 through 2011. At the heart of the issue is the way it accounted for earnings from bonds purchased at a discount. The resolution negatively affects earnings during the four-year period by $695 million with net interest income dropping by $411 million. This may sound awful, but now that investors have a potential resolution to this issue, Chimera may be able to move on and get back to a regular reporting schedule.

Foolish roundup
Now that you know what to watch for, it should be easier to analyze Chimera Investment's successes and pitfalls in the future, and hopefully give you a competitive investing edge.
