Imagine what would happen if someone was not there to carry someone out on time. Because the person who was supposed to be doing that sort of thing since he was big enough when at work in another part time job in a "group home" instead of a "rooming house" or a "boarding house" or a "public house" in Australia instead was by surprise assaulted when trying to stop someone turining that group home into a common bawdy house instead. While not being able to find and full time job with benefits now today at age 18.

The design for the shield was inspired by Marc Brunel's observation of the shipworm “teredo navalis”, which excretes digested wood to line the walls of its self-made tunnel. I made a pilgrimage to this famous tunnel when I lived in London. A lot of men died after ingesting the filthy water. It is amazing that this first sub-aqueous tunnel is still used today as part of the London tube.

Hello, I saw your KZbin channel, you upload very nice videos on your channel. I have watched all the videos and noticed that all the videos are beautiful. But there is a problem with your channel! Your main problems are video views not coming in and your videos not reaching your target audience! Because, your channel does not have SEO! If you don't fix the problem, your video won't get video views organically because the KZbin algorithm works on keywords, but your channel doesn't have any keywords! These problems can be solved by SEO techniques. Every video will rank on KZbin if you do SEO perfectly. Doing SEO will help your video reach the right people and increase views. Remember, SEO is not a single task, it is multifaceted. If you want to do SEO on your channel, I can help. I am an SEO expert. Thank you, have a nice day

We tried building an underground tunnel here in NYS. Carrying the GVCanal in 1840's..It too caved in but it was never completed..The same canal, 30 miles North, that was abandoned in 1878, consisted of an aquaduct over the Genesee River in Rochester, NY. It was later filled in to hold a city street..Underneath the new street a subway was to be built but it too was never completed..Whether it turns into a tourist attraction remains to be seen..
