James City-area historical tornado activity is slightly below Pennsylvania state average. It is 37% smaller than the overall U.S. average. On 5/31/1985, a category F4 (max. wind speeds 207-260 mph) tornado 9.9 miles away from the James City place center killed 4 people and injured 40 people.
Maasai - Age-sets. Introduction. The basic Maasai political and social structure is their rigid system of age-sets (or age grades; strictly-speaking, an age-grade is a stage within the age-set). These apply primarily to men; women automatically become members of the age-set of their husbands. Under this system, groups of the same age (give or take five years or so) are initiated into adult life during the same period. The age-set thus formed is a permanent grouping, and lasts throughout the life of its members.
Age Discrimination. Age discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) less favorably because of his or her age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) only forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states do have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination.
