Minas Geraes was a battleship built for the Brazilian Navy. Named in honor of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, the ship was laid down in April 1907 as the lead ship of her class, making Brazil the third country to have a dreadnought under construction. Two months after her commissioning on 5 January 1910, Minas Geraes was featured in an edition of Scientific American, which hailed her as "the last word in heavy battleship design and the ... most powerfully armed warship afloat". In November 1910, Minas Geraes was the focal point of the Revolta de Chibata (English: Revolt of the Whip). When Brazil entered the First World War in 1917, Britain's Royal Navy declined Brazil's offer to send Minas Geraes to join the Grand Fleet because the ship was outdated. In 1921, Minas Geraes was modernized in the United States. In the 1930s, after having a role in two mutinies during the previous decade, the battleship was modernized again, this time at the Rio de Janeiro Naval Yard. She underwent further refitting from 1939 to 1943. During the Second World War, Minas Geraes was anchored in Salvador as the main defense of the port, as she was too old to play an active part in the conflict. For the last nine years of her service life, Minas Geraes remained largely inactive, and she was towed to Italy for scrapping in March 1954. (more...)

A. the hair will take on the appearance of an asian person, or if the lye is under timed, the hair may go into lovely waves or big wide curls. for about 6 bucks you can find a home straightener kit at your local dollar store. do not over time the mix, as it wil eat into your scalp, acid burns, and bald spots.

A. I think you should do it now because it's short enough that it's really cute, but at the same time, it's long enough that you can still do lots of stuff with your hair like tie it back, braid it, etc. It's perfect now so you should get it straightened ASAP!
