A tunnelling shield is a protective structure used during the excavation of large, man-made tunnels. When excavating through ground that is soft, liquid, or otherwise unstable, there is a health and safety hazard to workers and the project itself from falling materials or a cave-in. A tunnelling shield functions as a temporary support structure. It is in place for the usually short time from when the tunnel section is excavated until it can be lined with a permanent support structure. The permanent structure may be made up of, depending on the period, bricks, concrete, cast iron, or steel. Although modern shields are commonly cylindrical, the first "shield", designed by Marc Isambard Brunel, was actually a large, rectangular, scaffold-like iron structure with three levels and twelve sections per level and a solid weight-bearing top. The structure nevertheless protected the men from cave-ins as they laboured within it, digging the tunnel out in front of themselves.
The first successful rectangular tunnelling shield was developed by Marc Isambard Brunel and patented by him and Lord Cochrane in January 1818. Marc Brunel and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel used it to excavate the Thames Tunnel beginning in 1825 (though the tunnel was not opened until 1843). Brunel is said to have been inspired in his design by the shell of the shipworm Teredo navalis, a mollusc whose efficiency at boring through submerged timber he observed while working in a shipyard. The shield was built by Maudslay, Sons & Field of Lambeth, London, who also built the steam pumps for de-watering the tunnel.
In 1840, Alfred Ely Beach, editor of Scientific American journal, suggested a circular shield design would be better than rectangular, and in 1868 Beach built a circular shield - a picture of which was printed in a New York news article about his pneumatic tunnel system idea. The design was based upon Brunel's shield lattice and screw-jacked forwards as the face advanced manually.
Brunel's original design was substantially improved by James Henry Greathead in the course of the construction of the Tower Subway under the River Thames in central London in 1870. Whilst many attribute the design shift from rectangular to cylindrical to Barlow, Greathead was the first to ever build a patented cylindrical tunnelling shield. It has become clear that Beach was the first to suggest a circular design would be superior. Probably the most crucial innovation of Peter W. Barlow's 1864 patented design was that it had a circular cross-section (unlike Brunel's, which was of rectangular construction), which at once made it theoretically simpler in construction and better able to support the weight of the surrounding soil; theoretically because Barlow never built his patented idea whereas Greathead did.
The Greathead Shield was 7 feet 3 inches (2.21 m) in diameter.
The 1864 Barlow patent was further improved and given a provisional patent in 1868 but never ratified as Barlow died a short time afterwards. Greathead independently came up with his own designs and was granted two successive patents for different shield designs of which one was for the construction of the City and South London Railway (today part of London Underground's Northern line) in 1884, with tunnels 10 feet 2 inches (3.10 m) in diameter.
Greathead's system was also used in the driving of the 12 foot 1 3⁄4 inches (3.702 m) diameter running tunnels for the Waterloo & City Railway which opened in 1898; Barlow was joint Engineer [with Greathead?] to the project until his death. The station tunnels at the City station (now known as Bank) were the largest diameter tunnelling shields in the world at the time, measuring 23 feet (7.0 m).
Most tunnelling shields are still loosely based on Greathead Shields' design. Greathead patented three shield designs which are documented in the article in his name. Additionally, he invented the concept of sprayed concrete grout to stabilise earthworks with shot concrete. This is evidenced by his patent of his second tunnelling shield design with a gritting pan that hydraulically injected reinforcing grout between the constructed lining and the tunnel wall.
In any competent history of tunnel design using shields, there ought to be recognition of three men by name for their built designs: Brunel, Beach and Greathead. Whilst Barlow had an idea, he never actually built either his patented shield design or his later provisional patent design which was never ratified. While this is not a complete history of tunnel shields as more evidence is coming to light each year from digital archives around the world of older publications, the timeline of their development is becoming more coherent and clear than ever before as a result.
Manual shield tunnellingEdit
In early shield tunnelling, the shield functioned as a way to protect labourers who performed the digging and moved the shield forward, progressively replacing it with pre-built sections of tunnel wall. The early deep tunnels for the London Underground were built in this way. The shield divided the workface into overlapping portions that each worker could excavate.
Modern tunnel boring machinesEdit
A tunnel boring machine (TBM) consists of a shield (a large metal cylinder) and trailing support mechanisms.
A rotating cutting wheel is located at the front end of the shield. Behind the cutting wheel there is a chamber where the excavated soil is either mixed with slurry (so-called slurry TBM) or left as-is (earth pressure balance or EPB shield), depending on the type of the TBM. The choice of TBM type depends on the soil conditions. Systems are also present for removal of the soil (or the soil mixed with slurry).
Behind the chamber there is a set of hydraulic jacks supported by the finished part of the tunnel which are used to push the TBM forward. Once a certain distance has been excavated (roughly 1.5–2 meters (5–7 ft)), a new tunnel ring is built using the erector. The erector is a rotating system which picks up precast concrete segments and places them in the desired position.
Several support mechanisms can be found behind the shield, inside the finished part of the tunnel, which are part of the TBM: dirt removal, slurry pipelines if applicable, control rooms, rails for transport of the precast segments, etc.
The tunnel lining is the wall of the tunnel. It usually consists of precast concrete segments which form rings. Cast iron linings were traditionally used in the London Underground tunnels, while steel liners were sometimes used elsewhere. The concept of using precast moulded lining sections is not new and was first patented in 1874 by James Henry Greathead.
Shields in JapanEdit
In Japan there are several innovative approaches to shield tunnelling, e.g. the Double-O-Tube or DOT-tunnel. This tunnel looks like two overlapping circles. There are also shields with computerized arms which can be used to dig a tunnel in virtually any shape.

An entertaining musical that perfectly captures the essence of teenage girls across the world.
This show is suited to parents who know the oh-too-familiar cry of ‘shut my bedroom door’, and the ‘but muuuuuummmmm if I don’t go I’ll die’.
This light-hearted coming-of-age show is all about fitting in, standing out, the highs and lows of friendship and, of course, boys.
The cast captured the spirit of their characters perfectly.
The show’s narrative appeared to be inspired by famous English boy-band ‘One Direction’, with the shows heart-throb Harry, sharing similar traits to Harry Styles and his equally famous hair.
The plot of ‘Fangirls’ focused on the heartbreak fans feel when their beloved boy bands break-up.
This show has wide appeal and leaves its audience feeling good and reminiscing over their own fangirl moments growing up.

|For the Heller 1/48 kit|
This may seem like deja vu to several of you, but this set, though similar to an earlier one, is specificially designed for the Heller 1/48 Mirage 2000C. As with the previous set, Pavla has provided the control surfaces, inner fuselage bits, control links and the ESM antennas. Not having the Heller kit, I am assuming that one has to cut off the kit bits before using this set. The molding is very nice and the are ready to be removed from the pour stub, painted and installed.

Dutch diagnostics giant Qiagen ($QGEN) grabbed Ingenuity Systems in a $105 million cash deal, giving it new technology to boost the analysis of genomic data for molecular diagnostics.
Ingenuity, based in Redwood City, CA, brings a number of new product innovations to the table, including its Ingenuity Knowledge Base database, which organizes data concerning, in part, genetic variations in human disease. In addition, Ingenuity's software helps guide clinical trials and medical treatment decisions.
Qiagen CEO Peer Schatz said in a statement that the Ingenuity acquisition will help boost its molecular diagnostics capacity to interpret biological information, helping it to build "a leading role in this field."
"Integration of Ingenuity's solutions into a powerful, full-range ecosystem of Qiagen's molecular testing solutions, such as PCR and next-generation sequencing, promises to offer significant value to Qiagen customers and shareholders," Schatz said.
Beyond molecular diagnostics, Qiagen is also focused on applied testing, pharmaceutical and academic research-related diagnostic tools. But the company has focused on growing its molecular diagnostics side. Earlier this year, for example, Qiagen expanded its partnership with Eli Lilly ($LLY) to develop companion diagnostics in a number of different disease areas. It also inked a similar deal with Bayer focused on solid tumor treatments. And the company is awaiting FDA approval for a lung cancer drug companion diagnostic developed to go with a Boehringer Ingelheim investigational drug treatment.

Bob McDonnell felony charges were coming before delay, Post reports
(WJLA) - Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was told last week that he and his wife would be indicted on felony charges connected to the Star Scientific scandal, the Washington Post reports, but those charges were delayed by the governor's legal team.
The Post reported Thursday night that the outgoing governor and his wife, Maureen, would be indicted very shortly on allegations that they illegally promoted the dietary supplement company while accepting thousands of dollars in gifts from the company's CEO.
However, after a meeting between McDonnell's lawyers and the Department of Justice, the Post says that a decision on those charges was put off, perhaps until next February. By that time, McDonnell will be out of office and governor-elect Terry McAuliffe would hold the Commonwealth's highest position.
In July, McDonnell apologized for the ongoing saga between his family and Star Scientific, specifically their relationship with CEO Johnnie Williams. He also announced that he had returned tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts and loans made to him and his family by Williams.
Those gifts included a Rolex watch, nearly $125,000 in personal and business loans and other gifts for Maureen. McDonnell maintained even after his apology that he didn't disclose the gifts because he wasn't legally required to do so.
"I am embarrassed with some of the decisions that have been made by me or my family that have undermined that trust," McDonnell said in July.
Voters like Cindy Nyer of Falls Church think it's outrageous that charges have been put on hold.
"I think they're playing favoritism and that he should be treated equally as an average citizen would," she says.
"Ultimately, I see in January they will bring charges against the governor," says Professor Frank Shafroth, who specializes in Virginia ethics at George Mason.
He thinks prosecutors may be allowing the McDonnell's to plead their case again or allow the governor to first finish his term before taking action.
"I think the Justice Department regards itself as having a responsibility to the American people to say 'there are rules and we will enforce them irespective of party or of office,'" Shafroth says.
McDonnell was not asked about the investigation on his final appearance on "Ask the Governor" on WTOP, but he did talk about his future plans.
"It's time for me to something a bit different," he said. "I can't announce anything today, but you'll be in the top 10 to know."

By Henry Gass, ClimateWire
Superstorm Sandy blacked out more than 2 million New Jersey homes when it made landfall in October 2012 -- one-third of them went without power for a week. Now the state is taking steps to make sure that when the next storm hits, power needed to deal with emergencies stays on.
New Jersey is establishing America's first infrastructure bank focused on energy resiliency. The state has announced it will fund the bank with $200 million from New Jersey's federal disaster recovery allocation, the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery Grant.
The bank will use the money to support the development of distributed energy resources at critical facilities throughout the state, including hospitals, transportation networks, first responder facilities and wastewater treatment plants.
Besides causing billions of dollars of damage and killing 37 people, Sandy crippled New Jersey's electrical grid. One hundred high-voltage electricity transmission lines went down and over 4,000 transformers were damaged.
Facilities with distributed energy systems in place during the storm -- including fuel cells and off-grid solar inverters with battery storage -- were able to stay operational, but many were not. Several wastewater treatment plants lost power, for example, and that resulted in hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage being dumped in the state's waterways during the storm, according to NJ Spotlight.
"Distributed energy resources proved extremely resilient following Superstorm Sandy; unfortunately, due to high initial costs, many critical facilities do not have these energy resilience solutions in place," Michele Brown, CEO of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, said in a statement.
The Energy Resiliency Bank was created last week and will be established and operated in partnership by the state's Board of Public Utilities and the Economic Development Authority.
Northeastern states lead
The announcement was praised by several local and national green groups. Lewis Milford, president of the Clean Energy Group, said in a statement that the ERB could be used as "a model for all states to finance resilient power projects, to protect against power outages during severe weather events."
"The ERB is an important way for states to finance projects like solar with energy storage in food banks, fire stations, wastewater treatment plants, and schools. It deserves to be a national infrastructure finance model for states around the country," Milford added.
While the ERB may be America's first infrastructure bank focused on energy resiliency, several other neighboring states are pursuing their own microgrid systems.
With many also devastated by Sandy in 2012, states up and down the Atlantic coast are investing in microgrids, with the market receiving a boost from the many military installations and universities in the region that need to protect critical facilities (ClimateWire, June 27).
New York has established its own Green Bank to help fund microgrid projects, a bank that could eventually have a capitalization of $1 billion, and launched a $40 million microgrid competition in January. Connecticut has also developed a sophisticated microgrid pilot program.
The Northeast has more installed microgrid capacity, 355 megawatts, than any other region in the U.S., according to a report from Greentech Media last month.

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1757
However, Rebecca did not seem to care about that. Half of the advertising spots in the commercial district were full of her posters, and every single one of them looked horrible.
Everyone in K City knew that Ashton was her sponsor, but he had become an embarrassment because of her. It was as if she wanted the whole world to know that Ashton had abandoned his wife and children to be with a woman with such awful aesthetic judgment.
They were like a young couple who was madly in love, wanting the whole world to know that they were quarreling so that everyone could be entertained by the drama.
While the car slowly made its way down the street, I fell into deep thoughts. If it were me, would I still have trust in this world after knowing that everything that went wrong in my life was closely related to the person I loved?
I did not have an answer to the question. No one could really empathize with another person. Even a trivial matter would cause a series of chain reactions. My life is still a mess, so I don’t have the leisure to worry about others.
In just a few seconds, Rebecca’s face was out of my sight.
Shaking my head, I shrugged off those thoughts and took a deep breath. This isn’t the time to think about them.
Later that day, I sent the children to Zachary and Cameron’s so that they could look after the children for me. It was already six in the evening when I left the Moore Residence.
Setting off for The Jade, I took out my phone and texted Millie: Millie, are you there?
She replied almost instantaneously: I only work for you. Ms. Stovall, you can give the orders directly.
Seeing that, I continued typing on the phone and went straight to the point: Can you contact the mercenaries hired by John?
Millie: I’ve lost contact with several of them. The remaining mercenaries can reach your location in twenty minutes.
Startled, I wrote: My location? But I’m still on the move.
Millie: Our people are scattered all over the city to ensure that they can reach the target location within half an hour.
After reading her message, I replied: Okay then. I didn’t know that John was such a thorough person. Please deploy all the people you can contact to the vicinity of The Jade. It’s always better to be prepared.
Staring at the phone, I mused to myself. As expected of Millie… What a concise reply. She’s always calm and proactive, giving me a sense of security.
At that thought, I sent her another text: Since you’re working for me, I hope you’ll remember this. In the crisis of life and death, please save my family first. Thank you.
The car stopped in front of The Jade after I sent the text. Putting the phone into my bag, I alighted from the car and walked inside.
Thanks to Emery, a waiter was already waiting at the entrance. Once he saw me, he greeted me warmly and showed me in.
Emery had arrived and was explaining something to the manager in the lobby. When she saw me, she hurriedly ended the conversation and approached me. “How is it? Are you satisfied with the special treatment?”
She was being so considerate. How could I have any complaints? Hence, I hurriedly responded with a smile, “Thank you.”
“Stop it.” Emery could not stand such a cringeworthy situation. She quickly dismissed the waiter and brought me inside. “Follow me. This way.”
Since it was peak hours, many customers were going up and down. Consequently, we spent a lot of time in the elevator. Just as we got off the elevator, we ran into Nathaniel and Nora, who came out of the next elevator.
As expected, he would not miss out on any opportunity to be entertained by Ashton’s drama.
In fact, other than Rebecca, Nathaniel could also be considered as one of Ashton’s obsessive stalkers.
“You’re here as well.” Nora held Nathaniel’s arm, looking noble and elegant. Obviously, my appearance was out of her expectation.
On the contrary, Nathaniel kept an indifferent expression. He was probably immune to my sudden appearance.
He probably did not want to see me. I bet he was afraid to witness my scorching love for Ashton, which would hurt his self-esteem and remind him that despite sharing the same gene, Ashton was cherished by others while he was alone in this world. Even if he died, no one would shed a single tear for him.

Hi all, I have a Princeton Reverb RI that I've messed with quite a bit (re-covered, 12" baffle, OT upgrade). One of the things I did was change the OT for a Hammond P-1760H (https://www.hammfg.com/files/parts/pdf/1760H.pdf). It's got 4/8/16 ohm outs. Basically doing the DR OT mod, with the added bonus of multiple impedance options. The 8ohm tap works great and I quite like the tone change. When I use the 4 ohm tap with 2 8 ohm speakers (i.e. the internal speaker and an 8 ohm cab) it is super quiet and distorted. Did I wire this incorrectly?

MG has announced that it will continue to offer buyers of its electric vehicles a £3,000 discount.
The news comes after the government announced changes to the plug-in car grant, which sees the upper price limit for a vehicle to be eligible reduced from £50,000 to £35,000. Meanwhile, the discount has also been cut, from £3,000 to £2,500.
However, MG has pledged to make up the remaining £500 until March 31.
There are currently two electric MGs eligible for the grant in the form of the ZS EV and the MG5 EV, and the new price cap doesn’t affect either models’ eligibility. The models start at £25,495 and £24,495 respectively.
Guy Pigounakis, MG’s commercial director, said: ‘While we welcome any news that encourages people to buy affordable electric cars, for it to come in the middle of the toughest March trading conditions ever is a blow to customers.
‘At MG, we believe in ensuring our customers are as happy as they can be with their new cars and in recognition that many of them will have made the decision to buy an MG EV with the £3,000 grant funding in mind, we have decided to honour that for all purchasers who order a new MG ZS Electric or MG5 EV for delivery before the end of this month.’
MG has increasingly been pitching itself as a seller of affordable electric vehicles. It’s a tactic that appears to be working well, with the firm doubling its market share in 2020 to 1.15 per cent.
This was driven by a sales increase of 41 per cent, largely thanks to the MG ZS EV, which accounted for almost a third of sales.

The Isley Brothers’ “Shout” is one of the earliest and best-known party songs. Immortalized by the frat-house dance scene in the 1978 comedy film “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” “Shout” was originally conceived by Ronald Isley during a 1959 concert in Philadelphia as a way to extend the audience’s excitement.
Though “Shout” only reached No. 47 on Billboard’s pop chart in 1959, it became the Isley Brothers’ first million-selling record thanks to its enduring popularity and covers by many other artists. The single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

Oil tanker explosion on Chao Phraya River kills 1 crew member, injures 3
An explosion on an oil tanker on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok has killed 1 crew member and injured 3. According to a Thai PBS World report, the explosion occurred yesterday afternoon at the Bangchak depot in the district of Phra Khanong. The Ampar 8 Bangkok, which was carrying around 3 million litres of crude oil, was mooring when the explosion occurred.
Police say sparks erupted in the anchor windlass room prior to the explosion, which resulted in a fire that was confined to that room. A crew member who was in the room at the time has died and 3 others were injured. Another 12 crew members escaped uninjured. The dead man has been named as Prasit Sapsawan.
Thai PBS World reports that, following the explosion, the tanker travelled about 5 kilometres from the Bangchak depot, anchoring near Phra Chulachomklao Fort in the central province of Samut Prakan, where it took firefighters an hour to extinguish the blaze, using chemical foam and water. Several other vessels have been put on standby with booms, in the event of a crude oil leak into the river.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Transport Minister, Atirat Ratanasate, has ordered the Marine Department to form an investigating committee and to prevent the vessel from being used until a probe into the accident has been concluded.

Ezra Miller’s career is apparently at the rocks as Warner Bros and DC fired the actor from The Flash after a series of legal controversies.
The 29-year-old actor, who helmed the character of Barry Allen in the series since 2016, appeared as a superhero in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
However, because of the actor’s legal woes, the filmmakers have determined to drop them in a spin-off movie.
A source told Deadline, “There is no winning in this for Warner Bros.This is an inherited hassle for [CEO David] Zaslav.
“The hope is that the scandal will remain at a low level before the film is released, and hope for the best to turn out,” the insider added.
“The studio won’t likely keep Miller in the Flash role in future DC films,” the outlet continued.
“That would mean replacing him in the future, however there is still a $200 million investment on the line with the first movie and Warner Bros execs have to be cringing at each new press report.”
Tyson stated of the project: "I have been searching to tell my tale for quite a few time... Hulu's Mike will best on Thursday, August 25.

The class action lawsuit against The Bachelor and The Bachelorette was dismissed today. In a 23-page ruling (read it here), Judge Aleta Trauger in a Tennessee district court granted the motion to dismiss the racial discrimination suit requested by defendants ABC, Warner Horizon Television, Next Entertainment, NZK Productions and the show’s executive producer Michael Fleiss. Football players Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson filed the suit in April to protest that the shows never have a winner “who is a person of color.” The two black plaintiffs, who say they auditioned unsuccessfully for The Bachelor, also wanted an injunction to force the shows to have persons of color as finalists — they did not get that either. “The plaintiffs’ goals here are laudable. …Nevertheless, the First Amendment prevents the plaintiffs from effectuating these goals by forcing the defendants to employ race-neutral criteria in their casting decisions in order to ‘showcase’ a more progressive message,” the judge wrote. Said a Warner Bros spokesman: “We felt from the onset this case was completely without merit and we are pleased the Court has found in our favor”.

text: Background: There is currently much debate on the best way to manage dyspepsia in the community and cost effectiveness is often discussed. We aim to perform a cost analysis of a test and treat strategy for Helicobacter pylori versus endoscopy using data based on the breath test service in Leicester. Methods: Retrospective analysis of data acquired over the 1-year period from March 1, 1999, to February 29, 2000, in a university teaching hospital. The main outcome measure was the cost of each management strategy. Results: Referral to the breath test service cost £84.67 per person with dyspepsia (including treatment of positive patients and endoscopy cost of patients endoscoped). If the breath test service had not existed, referral for endoscopy would have cost £98.35 per person. This equates to a cost saving of £8,276 over the year studied for the 605 patients referred. It also resulted in 353 fewer endoscopies being performed. Conclusion: Direct referral to a H. pylori breath test service saves money, avoids an unpleasant test for many people and reduces the endoscopy waiting list.

I thought of it, but I have no intention of planning it in any way. Because no. It would be impossible, even if I contemplated it, and even if rabbits.
Watership Down. It is no because those are clearly domestic rabbits, not wild, okay? (Which is why I flailed a bit at the “lets leave the bunnies in the woods because if we take one it will be lonely!” Um. Those are domestic rabbits, they are dead if they are left alone in the woods. I’m relieved that Lan Zhan ended up taking care of them.)
How would you even do a crossover with Watership Down Untamed? It would be impossible. Unless those domestic rabbits were the characters maybe? And there was some tiny rabbit quest they had to undertake for the sake of the really old Lan lady spirit to help Lan Zhan? (and/or Wei Ying. Or Wen Yuan.) You could not do “everyone is rabbits” because a lot of the plot of Watership Down kind of depends on the characters having animal level understand/interpretations of what they’re seeing.
But rabbits, and the black rabbits being thought of as scary by the white rabbits because of the Black Rabbit of Inle. (And now I’m thinking of Pandora Hearts and how the one girl character is called the Black Rabbit and I ALWAYS say “of Inle!” Because. Just because.
Was Watership Down formative? Maybe a little? It is the only book by that writer that I like, anyway.
But no. I cannot formulate a crossover concept even if it popped into my head like a terrible mushroom.
A lost song from the movie & soundtrack, written by Mike Batt. It was intended to be played during the chase scene with the farm dog, but it didn’t make the final cut and wasn’t released with the soundtrack.
My absolute favorite hero in anything .Hazel is a character who didnt seek to be a leader ,but naturally became one ,and yet while he is intelligent ,he makes mistakes .At his heart he cares about his people,and will do whatever it takes to protect them even if it seems insane
Mrs Brisby from Secret of NIMH
Mrs Brisby is a scared widow who despite her fear will do whatever it takes to take care of her family.She is ,for the lack of a better word,a very human hero
Madame Souza from Triplets of Belleville
This Grandma is badass,doing whatever she can to rescue her kidnapped grandson from mobsters including teaming up with three quirky old singers
Basil of Baker Street from the Great Mouse Detective
The mouse equivalent of Sherlock Holmes ,Basil is a bit of an arrogant jerk but is truely a good mouse with a quirky personality and a wonderful dynamic with his arch enemy Professor Ratigan
Miles Moralles/Spider-Man from Spider-man Into the Spider-verse
Miles maybe one of the greatest movie superheroes ,top three for me (Behind Zorro and Christopher Reeves Superman) ,and Into the Spiderverse is one of my favorite tellings of the heroes journey.
Simba from the Lion King
Simba has an intriguing journey from a rather mischevious boastful cub to king,while Basil is my favorite Disney hero,Simba is a contender for best developed
Mei and Gabu from Arashi No Yoru Ni
Gabu and Mei met one stormy night ,in a barn unable to smell or see one another ,and quickly struck up a friendship ,agreeing to meet eachother for a picnic,where Mei finds out Gabu is a wolf,and Gabu finds out Mei is a goat ….And continue their friendship anyway ,even when their clans try to interfere .Their entire relationship is adorable and their bond is powerful eventually deciding to abandon their clans to be with eachother ….But things are seldom easy.
Sophie from Howls Moving Castle
So I have a lot of ….Mixed feelings on this movie,because I’ve read the book …..And the book is way better .Movie starts out as a semi faithful adaptation until about the halfway point where it adds in this anti war message that is NOT in the book and everything gets muddled from there .But one thing the movie does really well is the protagonist Sophie ,a young woman who is turned into an elderly woman and she is another character with an interesting journey ,as while initilly very reserved she grows more confidence and a stronger will after becoming an old woman
.Nick and Judy from Zootopia
Cynical fox con man and idealistic bunny cop….Thats just a great combo ,and these two have so much chemistry and watching them grow is a delight
Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit
Bilbo didnt want to be a hero but it was thrust onto him and he stepped up to the plate.He outwitted Gollum,he slew the spider,he freed the Dwarves,he buttered up Smaug and when the Dwarves went to battle for greed he was the one who tried to talk sense into Thorin .Bilbo is my second favorite animated movie hero
Real talk: I haven’t liked ANY of the Watership Down adaptations. TBF, I haven’t seen the miniseries yet but the animated show took out all the teeth of the book while the 70s film is a good adaptation of events that happened but bad in terms of character development…it also opted to get super gruesome in parts where it didn’t need to be (Blackavar’s death is my biggest example of a “dark for the sake of dark” death which wasn’t in the novel). I ESPECIALLY hate what they did to Fiver, who was always my favorite character in the book.
OG Fiver is awkward and and sometimes sickly but is remarkably tough and very strong in his own way, AND has his happier, more relaxed moments. It’s really cool to read the book and see him go from an unsure, kinda scary kid to a wise-beyond-his-years and sensible buck. 70s film Fiver is a shivering mess who has no character development to be anything BUT a shivering mess and who I don’t think ever smiles. Cartoon series Fiver meanwhile is total wimp and a magical baby who I barely remember ever doing much. He looked more like a child than a stunted growth adult and his was annoying in both.
So, here’s book!Fiver with his mate Vilthuril and son Threar. Again, book Fiver is more confident and interesting throughout which makes it all the more rewarding and cool that he managed to not only get a mate but one who respects him and his abilities, Vilthuril, and even has a son who’s inherited his father’s visions.
If you fell down a rabbit hole, what do you think you’d find?
Some mighty big rabbits.
Once again, I am compelled to respond to a prompt with truth rather than fiction; hence the witticism above.
Alice In Wonderland remains one of my favorite Disney films, I think because it was among my earliest exposures to one of my favorite genres of speculative fiction, what I call the Extraordinary World. Maybe there’s an official term for it that I’m unaware of; it’s usually a pulpy sub-genre. The Martian Tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, even Tarzan…all are examples of Extraordinary World fiction.
My own writing has featured two examples of my own take on Extraordinary World fiction, the transplantation of a hero from one extraordinary world into another. Planet Pantheon is the tale of a crew from the far future that rediscovers an Earth remade by the gods of myth and legend. Cassie Cometstail and Haunted Star is the story of a deep space adventuring Little Orphan Annie who gets stuck on a magical Dyson Sphere.
The funny thing is, I think my take on this genre is probably a subversion of the point of Extraordinary World fiction. The point of this kind of fiction is that what makes people truly extraordinary is the choices that they make rather than the things that they can do. (This isn’t really made manifest in the ERB stuff, because John Carter and Tarzan essentially are superhuman.) Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, DC’s Adam Strange…these characters are almost everymen (except that they are also examples of “American Exceptionalism,” which is maybe something I’ll talk about with another writing prompt someday).
I like my instincts with my own efforts, especially as Planet Pantheon featured a person of color and Cassie Cometstail a young girl, but these were people from the future! They arrive on the scene in faster-than-light spaceships! They were already, for the reader, extraordinary! Even in a world inundated with genre stories, it’s hard to come off as a “stranger in a strange land” when you already have a laser gun in hand.
(Wow, this took me in an unanticipated direction. I did not know I was going to come into this finding fault with some of my favorite works of mine.)
So now, I have to put Extraordinary World fiction back in the hopper and see what comes out.
(Now, what would I like to find down the rabbit hole? Why, a shrine to El-ahrairah, of course. WATERSHIP DOWN!!!)
Alright friends, I’m starting to plan a month long readalong for Watership Down by Richard Adams for this fall. I am planning on weekly photo prompts for Instagram and two or three discussion questions for each week as well to encourage engagement and creativity. I am hoping to feature an artist in the readalong graphics and promote their WSD artwork throughout the readalong as well. And the whole thing will finish with a Twitter group watch of the Netflix Watership Down.
I’m considering October or November for the readalong. Let me know if one would work better or if both are good.
theres a lot to take issue with regarding the wsd miniseries but one of the major things i cant get over is the art direction. it’s so… bland. it feels like it both wants to be stylized and realistic, but it lacks either the budget or the care to achieve either to a degree that’s actually interesting
it’s been theorized that the reason the rendering is kinda funky (the reflection on the dog’s fur… yikes) becus the budget was poured into the talented but underutilized voice cast, but i doubt any of us will ever truly know. point is that there were a lot of good, expressive, interesting ideas in concept art that i think could’ve been achieved with perhaps more money, more stylistic flexibility, and more time
wouldn’t fix how it butchered like every single iconic or important moment from a storytelling perspective, but at least i could fall asleep to it while oohing and ahhing over how cool the bunnies looked if thatd been the case lol
#watership down#richard adams #more and more production art has been surfacing and i rly like all of it #from chardes to key art to storyboards #it has a livliness to it that the final animation lacks #idk i think about this almost endlessly

Strategies To Increase Physical Activity
Many people live sedentary lives, have little training or skills in physical activity, and are difficult to motivate toward increasing their activity. For these reasons, starting a physical activity regimen may require supervision for some people. The need to avoid injury during physical activity is high. Extremely obese persons may need to start with simple exercises that can gradually be intensified. The practitioner must decide whether exercise testing for cardiopulmonary disease is needed before embarking on a new physical activity regimen. This decision should be based on a patient's age, symptoms, and concomitant risk factors.
For most obese patients, physical activity should be initiated slowly, and the intensity should be increased gradually. Initial activities may be walking or swimming at a slow pace. With time, depending on progress, the amount of weight lost, and functional capacity, the patient may engage in more strenuous activities. Some of these include fitness walking, cycling, rowing, cross-country skiing, aerobic dancing, and rope jumping. Jogging provides a high-intensity aerobic exercise, but can lead to orthopedic injury. If jogging is desired, the patient's ability to do this must first be assessed. The availability of a safe environment for the jogger is also a necessity.
Competitive sports, such as tennis and volleyball, can provide an enjoyable form of physical activity for many, but again, care must be taken to avoid injury, especially in older people. As the examples listed in Table IV-4 show, a moderate amount of physical activity can be achieved in a variety of ways. People can select activities that they enjoy and that fit into their daily lives. Because amounts of activity are functions of duration, intensity, and frequency, the same amounts of activity can be obtained in longer sessions of moderately intense activities (such as brisk walking) as in shorter sessions of more strenuous activities (such as running).
Table IV-4: Examples of Moderate* Amounts of Activity
*A moderate amount of physical activity is roughly equivalent to physical activity that uses approximately 150 calories of energy per day or 1,000 calories per week.
A regimen of daily walking is an attractive form of physical activity for many people, particularly those who are overweight or obese. The patient can start by walking 10 minutes, 3 days a week, and can build to 30 to 45 minutes of more intense walking at least 5 days a week and preferably most, if not all, days (577, 578). With this regimen, an additional 100 to 200 calories per day of physical activity can be expended. Caloric expenditure will vary depending on the individual's body weight and intensity of the activity (see Table IV-5). This regimen can be adapted to other forms of physical activity, but walking is particularly attractive because of its safety and accessibility.
Table IV-5: Duration of Various Activities to Expend 150 Kilocalories for an Average 70 kg (154 lb) Adult
Source: Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health (572)
With time, a larger weekly volume of physical activity can be performed that would normally cause a greater weight loss if it were not compensated by a higher caloric intake. Reducing sedentary time is another approach to increasing activity. Patients should be encouraged to build physical activities into each day. Examples include leaving public transportation one stop before the usual one, parking further than usual from work or shopping, and walking up stairs instead of taking elevators or escalators.
New forms of physical activity should be suggested, e.g., gardening, walking a dog daily, or new athletic activities. Engaging in physical activity can be facilitated by identifying a safe area to perform the activity, e.g., community parks, gyms, pools, and health clubs. However, when these sites are not available, an area of the home can be identified and perhaps outfitted with equipment such as a stationary bicycle or a treadmill.
Health professionals should encourage patients to plan and schedule physical activity 1 week in advance, budget the time necessary to do it, and document their physical activity by keeping a diary and recording the duration and intensity of exercise.

My daughter is not only a hockey mom, but she has loved hockey ever since she was about four or five and we lived with my parents. My father, who watched sports of all kinds, enjoyed having my daughter sit with him, learning all the players' names, what the terms meant, how to keep track of stats, etc.
Fast forward in time, my Dad has been dead ten years and my daughter has two sons who play hockey. She is more than just someone who drops the kids off. She has met several of the New Jersey Devils, plus took a selfie with the head coach of the Devils, when she ran into him bringing his daughter to play hockey at the same rink.
She videotapes every game, then edits them, with amusing commentary. She started doing this for our family, then the coaches wanted them, then other parents wanted them. She chooses appropriate music and now is the webmaster for the main organization her sons play for, in different age groups, in different positions.
The primary reason I'm writing all of this is to suggest something that I think would be useful, not only for hockey moms or dads, but hockey players who need a quick nap while on the road or between games at tournaments. I have one of our very own E2 members to thank for this idea. On his home page, he put the correct pronunciation of his nom de guerre.
Unless you have read The Hockey Machine, you will not find a "hockey-cot" referenced anywhere on the internet and even in that book of juvenile fiction about a hockey camp, the word cot is used but never called a hockey cot. Therein lies my brainstorm of creating a portable, comfortable piece of equipment for the purpose of rest as needed.
In my mind, the hockey cot could be personalized with the team color, the kids' names, the jersey numbers and any tidbit of superstition to aid in winning. I'll do some sketches and submit them to the hockey mom, see if I can have a cottage industry in my spare time. Enough of this writing!!!

We have a visitor here at the University of Leeds – and Spectrum the bear can’t wait to meet the people of Leeds this summer.
Spectrum is part of the Leeds Bear Hunt art trail, which features 35 dazzling bear sculptures and 50 bear cub pieces of art around the city of Leeds and its surrounding parks.
The event, which runs until 9 September, is raising money to help Leeds Children’s Hospital give the best possible care to critically ill babies, children and young people.
People are invited to discover all the statues inspired by children’s author Michael Rosen’s book ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ over the coming weeks. Later this year, all 35 sculptures will go under the hammer to raise the funds.
Each bear has been uniquely designed by a local or national artist or a member of the local community. The University of Leeds’ bear Spectrum was decorated by local illustrator Christine Jopling with all the colours of the rainbow which reflect the diversity and inclusivity of the Leeds community and our gratitude to the NHS.
Visitors are invited to Be Curious and find out what else happens at the University of Leeds.
Professor Nick Plant, Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research and Innovation at Leeds, said: “The funds raised by the Leeds Bear Hunt will help ensure the Leeds Children’s Hospital and its staff can continue to tackle health inequalities by transforming healthcare for children and young people.
“We are proud of our strong partnership with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and look forward to continuing our collaborative work to deliver the best health and care outcomes for every child in the region.”
Dr Alexa Ruppertsberg, Head of Public Engagement with Research at Leeds, said: “We welcome people to find Spectrum and invite everyone to explore the many other free and accessible activities on our campus such as our galleries, exhibitions and beautiful gardens.
“The Leeds Bear Hunt showcases so many talented artists’ work, provides fun for the family and, at the same time, raises money for such a good cause.”
Joanna Parker, PR and Digital Executive at Leeds Hospitals Charity, said: “The University of Leeds is such a big part of the city’s culture and the Be Curious team is already intertwined with Leeds Children’s Hospital through their research. This collaboration seemed fitting in so many ways and will bring awareness for Be Curious throughout the trail.
“The Bear Hunt is about helping those in our community who need it the most in a way that is fun and enjoyable.”
The bears were developed in partnership with Wild in Art and Walker Productions/Lupus films.


Remember how I said that I dislike the cutting process? It is truly my least favourite part of making of quilts. Every now and then I like to cut for a couple of quilts just to get it out of the way.
Now remember how I said earlier this week that I was going to try to get the cutting done on one or two, maybe even three, quilts? Well, I have spent the rest of this week cutting and cutting and cutting. And I cut enough for five quilts.
Starting in the top left corner and moving clockwise is the fabric for Star Struck, Road to Camp Gravatt, Star Fling, Crayon Box, and a batik quilt of my own design.
Even I'm impressed with that output.
Now I just need to get on with the sewing part.
Hope you're having a crafty weekend, M

I think she had lived that life for so long that the topic was too close to her. She was both ashamed and angry. The professor made a lot of assumptions about her and the homeless. Jeanette had to contend with so many emotions.
Jeanette didn't want the secrets of her past, to be revealed. She wanted to build a new life for herself in New York City.
Because she doesn't want to reveal that she was once homeless with her own family.
In the start of the discussion in class i sensed a small part of smug like a badge of honor about it. But its her secret. As proud to say ya i lived through that i also am ashamed of it. She's got the teacher snowed thinking shes a child of privilege and would like to keep it that way in that company
Your spelling needs to be revised.

Joe Paterno will go down as one of the best college football coaches ever. His record of games coached at a single college will never be close to being touched. He was well loved throughout the football community and Penn State.
In November when the Penn State Sex Abuse Scandal broke all of us thought "Say it ain't so, Joe". Unfortunately it was so, and we all watched as the case against Jerry Sandusky grew and grew and grew some more. Horrible details were leaked about sexual abuse against young boys that spread the course of decades. As a mother my heart reached out not only to the boys, but their mothers as well. No child should ever have to deal with what these children dealt with.
As all of these details were being exposed, a huge blow to the college football community came in with the firing of Joe Paterno over the investigation. Many of us were asking why was Joe PA fired, but not Mike McQueary who is the one that actually witnessed the abuse? McQueary is the one that saw first hand what happened, the one that didn't go to the police with what he saw, the one that waited to tell anyone what he saw. Yet Joe was at home watching that weeks game and McQueary was standing on the sidelines coaching.
Not seeing what had happened first hand, only hearing a sugar coated story of what happened, Joe told his boss. For doing this action, he was fired. He was never charged with any crime. He never saw any crime or abuse take place. Yet the Mom Community is letting this tarnish this mans reputation not only in life, but in death also.
Yes, what Jerry Sandusky did is a horrible thing, but we should not let what that man did tarnish another's reputation. I am going to choose to remember Coach Joe PA just as that, a great coach. A man that donated millions to his University. A man that was a living legacy in college football. A man that fought hard. A man that thought he was blessed in life. A man that was respected as not only a football coach, but as a person. I hope that more than just me can remember this great man as such.

Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus is considered to be one of the most important works of literature produced in the twentieth century. It is a study of music, of genius, of culture and of the political and aesthetic crises of modernism, centring on the nefarious pact the main character, a composer, makes with the devil. This diabolical figure is fundamental to any critical analysis of Faustus.
I would be happy to supervise dissertations in any of these areas. Previous dissertations supervised have focused on Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, WG Sebald, as well as cinematic topics (French New Wave, Italian neo-realism, Michael Haneke, Wim Wenders, Edgar Reitz), and cultural memory (memory discourses in Berlin, and in post-unification film).
Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkuhn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by.

Chloe Arnold rehearses Lin-Manuel Miranda
James Corden performs “Crosswalk: The Musical” in a Manhattan intersection with Zendaya, Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron.
In a segment for The Late Late Show with James Corden, the CBS host, Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda performed snippets of 22 musicals in 12 minutes, complete with props and quick wig and costume changes.
Choreographer Chloe Arnold had 90 minutes to rehearse the stars.
No pressure there. Actually, Arnold is used to pulling off such feats: she was nominated for an Emmy in 2018 for choreographing a Broadway-themed edition of the show's "Crosswalk: The Musical" bit. Corden joined three stars of The Greatest Showman (Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya) and 16 dancers in performing musical numbers on New York City streets — while traffic lights were red.
"It's a huge undertaking that really is magical," Arnold says of her work on the show, which she joined in 2016. Segments typically run 10 minutes and take two days to prepare, block and perform. "Everyone does their homework, and they bring their excitement. James and the celebrities usually have an hour of rehearsal — he pushes everybody's courage."
Arnold's other credits include Corden's The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special, John Legend's 2018 Christmas special and the telefilm Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland.
Whatever the project, she says, "The first thing I think about is, 'What is the feeling of the piece?' Dance is non-verbal, so everything comes emotionally. That feeling is decided by the music. What is the vibe? The script, the music, the rhythm — everything speaks to me."
Arnold learned from the best: actress- choreographer Debbie Allen chose her from a field of 800 hopefuls to be one of 12 performers in a show Allen was doing in Arnold's hometown, Washington, D.C. Arnold was 16 at the time; she later stayed at Allen's Los Angeles home on summer breaks from Columbia University and moved to L.A. after graduation, at Allen's encouragement.
"She taught me to be as versatile as possible," Arnold says of her mentor, "and that there are no limits except your imagination."
That versatility extends to Arnold's other projects. She is the founder and artistic director of the all-female tap troupe Syncopated Ladies. She and younger sister Maud formed the brand Chloe & Maud; they have tap shoe and activewear lines and were among the producers of the 2015 documentary Tap World.
The sisters are also working on television and film ideas. Arnold says they "just want to keep telling stories and celebrate life through dance."

California corrections officials Tuesday proposed new lethal injection procedures designed to allow executions to resume after a four-year moratorium.
The state would be better off abolishing the death penalty. It is inconsistently and sometimes unfairly imposed, not to mention exorbitantly expensive. Lifetime incarceration with no possibility of parole is a far better alternative, punishing the guilty and protecting the public at a much lower cost.
But if California must continue to mete out capital punishment, it should substantially narrow the list of special circumstances that make a prisoner eligible for execution.
The state carries the dubious distinction of having the nation’s largest death row, with 697 inmates — yet only 13 men have been put to death since California reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Death row inmates at San Quentin know the odds that they will die of natural causes are more than double the chance that they’ll be executed.
California taxpayers pay an extra $90,000 for every inmate on death row, a total of $60 million per year more than they spend on inmates serving life without parole. The state is scheduled to spend $400 million for a new death row prison at a time when it desperately needs money for the education and health care of California’s children.
But cost really is the least of the problems with the death penalty.
A survey last fall by UC-Santa Cruz professor Craig Haney shows support for the death penalty in California has dropped from 79 percent to 66 percent. Why the change in attitude? Haney cites public fears that innocent men are being convicted.
The concern is legitimate. There is growing consensus that Texas executed an innocent man in 2004 when it gave Cameron Todd Willingham a lethal injection after convicting him of killing three children by arson in a 1991 house fire. Officials now believe the fire was not arson.
Thanks to DNA testing and other forensic advances, more than 100 people have been freed from death row in the past 35 years, including five just last year.
This should be of special concern to California, which has the one of the most expansive death penalty statutes in the nation. No fewer than 33 different kinds of special circumstances, including every felony that leads to a murder, call for capital punishment. At the same time, the application of the death penalty is maddeningly inconsistent, as the Mercury News reported in 2008. For example, Orange County invoked it 10 times more often than San Francisco.
Racial disparities add further reason to question the fairness of capital punishment. The proportion of blacks on California’s death row is five times their proportion of the state population.
The newly proposed lethal injection procedures, replacing an old regimen declared to be inhumane, must pass a judicial review before becoming law. That’s expected to take months. The state should use the time to reconsider ending the death penalty — or at least narrowing the rules to make the sentence more consistent and fair.

Kenya Airways Prepares Pharma Cargo Facility For Fight Against COVID-19
Kenya Airways (KQ), through its cargo arm KQ Cargo, has unveiled its ultra-modern pharma facility at its main hub in Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
The Kenya Cargo team is preparing for this critical logistical role in transporting the coronavirus vaccine once approved with the facility having the capabilities to further meet the demand of pharmaceutical products and medical shipments around the globe, reports CGTN Africa.
Kenya Airways’ cargo director, Dick Murianki, said, “KQ Cargo has been laying the groundwork and working closely with pharmaceutical and medical customers to be ready to safely and effectively support their vaccines transportation needs to move efficiently once the vaccine is approved by the regulators.”
“The investment in the ultra-modern pharma facility, though coinciding with COVID-19 pandemic, is to further meet the demand of pharmaceutical products globally in preparation for the big task of transporting medicines, vaccines, blood samples and temperature-sensitive cargo by having an end-to-end cold chain logistics solutions,” continued Murianki.
While the situation will be unique, the task may not be new to Kenya Airways, as the airline’s cargo operation has been shipping life-saving medicine since the beginning of the pandemic. The national carrier has transported about 6,000 tons of much-needed medical equipment including personal protective equipment (PPE), medical equipment, COVID-19 test kits and pharmaceuticals to help battle the coronavirus.
Many vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccine, need special handling to keep a consistently cold temperature throughout their journey. Vaccine shipments can be sent in “active containers” with built-in temperature controls that regulate and monitor shipments during transport or “passive containers” that are cooled with cold packs or dry ice in an enclosed system designed to keep the product cold for the life of its journey.
KQ has also linked up with global experts in cold chain logistics in readiness to offer the active and passive packaging with dedicated equipment to perform seamless cold chain operations.
The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi has long been a distribution and logistics hub in Africa and was rated as the second-fastest-growing airport in the world for cargo by ACI in 2019.
Kenya Airways cargo now goes head to head with its closest rival, Ethiopian Airlines, which through Ethiopian Cargo, launched its state-of-the-art Pharma Wing back in June.
The state-of-the-art Pharma Wing of Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services is housed within the largest trans-shipment terminal in Africa and has been central to the airline’s effective handling and shipping of medical supplies across Africa and beyond.
