The Eurotunnel connects Great Britain and France underneath the English Channel. It is the second longest submarine tunnel in the world at 50.5 kilometers, with 39 kilometers running underneath the sea. The 35-minute train journey through the Eurotunnel, also known as the Chunnel, has greatly improved travel times between London and Paris. The tunnel contains three galleries - two for passenger Eurostar trains and one for vehicle transport via the Le Shuttle train service, which runs more than 35 times daily and connects London and Paris in just two hours traveling at 300 km/h.

La transformation des voies rapides en avenues urbaines. Une bonne idée ?L'Institut Paris Region
L'IAU îdF vient de publier quatre études réalisées in situ d'expériences étrangères de transformation de tronçons d'autoroutes ou de voies express en avenues intégrées au tissu urbain. Cette première série porte sur New York, San Francisco, Séoul et Vancouver.
Il ressort de ces analyses que les aménagements réalisés tendent à réduire le trafic automobile tout en améliorant la mobilité des personnes, la qualité du cadre de vie et la redynamisation des quartiers.

They had asked for a bit of humour so this was my best attempt.
This is a team presentation, we presented, of our analysis on the "Channel Tunnel" (Euro tunnel) project, as our term project for the course "International Project Management & Professional Responsibility" of "Project Management" program.
Shortcreting has proved to be the best method for construction of curved surfaces. Domes are now much easier to construct with the advent of shotcrete technology. Tunnel linings are also becoming easy with this technology. Not only are these but there a wide range of applications where this technology has been a leading one. This technical paper includes the concept of shotcrete and how it differs from conventional concrete. It also enumerates the different types of process involved in shotcreting i.e. dry mix process and wet mix process. Advantages of shotcrete and its applications in various fields like tunneling, canals, buildings etc. are specified in detail. This paper presents an overview of shotcreting technology along with its applications.
DEFINITION OF SHOTCRETE:-
Shotcrete is a mortar or high performance concrete conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a backing surface. It is the force of this spraying action that leads to compaction of the concrete or mortar which then forms layers of concrete to the required thickness. Shotcreting has been an acceptable way of placing cementitious material in a variety of applications.
Usually patented polypropylene fibers are included in the shotcrete which increases the cohesive nature of the shotcrete through mechanically binding the cementitious materials together. This mechanism reduces the rebound waste that occurs through the shotcreting process and these fibers also resist plastic shrinkage and cracking through their ability to enhance the early stage tensile strength of concrete.
Shotcrete also gives better surface finishes and reduces surface tearing on non- linear sections. Cementitious material containing the poly propylene fibers resist cycles of freezing and thawing and also reduces the chances of water and chemical penetrations.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. Eurotunnel is the name of the tunnel that crosses the Channel, joining Great
Britain with France.
It is considered the second longest submarine tunnel in the world, it has 50.5
kilometers, of which 39 are submarines. Approximately 35 minutes are needed to
cross it.
The Chunnel, as the Europeans call it, is a truly important international transport
infrastructure that has greatly simplified the times of travel by Train Paris
London.
The Eurotunnel has 3 galleries used for transport. Two of them for the passenger
(one going and one back) and another for the transportation of vehicles. In
addition it has two other transversal galleries for maintenance and assistance that
allows that there is current of air to decrease the pressure.
Through the Eurotunnel, Eurostar passenger train services and the services of the
Le Shuttle train for the transport of cars, motorcycles and trucks are transported.
The Eurostar train moves at 300 km / h, with more than 35 services daily, links
Paris to London and London to Brussels in just two hours.
4. One way journey on the London Underground may
involve 1 or 2 train changes. The journey begins when you
pass through the barrier in the lobby of the station where
the journey begins and ends when you pass through the
barrier of the destination station. With a single ticket you
can not interrupt the trip and leave at a station of the
station, the trip ends when you cross the exit bar of any
station.
