There are a few things everyone knows about fingerprints, like that criminals sometimes burn them off to avoid being identified during fingerprinting, or that everyone has a unique pattern. But these six facts about prints aren't known by most. Some People Don't Have Them There are three genetic conditions that can prevent the formation of any identifying marks on someone's fingers: Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJS), Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR), and adermatoglyphia. Unfortunately, while a lack of prints is not ideal, it's also not the worst symptom associated with these disorders. Fingerprinting Isn't Foolproof It's comforting to think investigators can always catch the bad guy if he forgets to wear gloves to a crime scene. The truth is, the method of identification is not always foolproof. There's no minimum of comparison points for a match in the United States, not to mention the fact that humans are fallible.

Kids these days often seem to lack an appreciation for golf history. Sadly, with their smartphones and video games, many modern children don't have much interaction with the sport.

One characteristic that makes jewellery so beautiful is its delicate appearance. Unfortunately, this also means that it can be easily broken. Luckily, some tools make it easy to take on simple jewellery repairs at home instead of paying experts to do the same job. These tools can be found at any craft or hardware store, often for less than the cost of professional repair. Some of them may even be already found in the toolbox at home. 1. Workstation This might seem obvious, but it's very important to have a good workstation. Since most accessories are made of tiny chain links, beads and gems, anyone attempting jewellery repairs at home should have a dedicated table or desk where the project won't be disturbed for awhile. The area should be well-lit and spacious enough to hold all of the necessary tools and placed away from small children, pets, or strong drafts that could cause small pieces to become misplaced. A magnifying glass might be useful during this process, as well. 2. ...
