    Mightily impressive although they missed criminal off of the occupations surely ! Their sacrifices should never be forgotten as with all the others that gave their lives for our liberty. One can only imagine their thoughts if they were to see the World today and how little progress has been made !

    The oldest door is still in use in Rome.
    Cast in bronze for emperor Hadrian' rebuilding, they date from about 115 AD.
    Each door is solid bronze seven and a half feet wide & twenty-five feet high,
    yet so well balanced they can be pushed or pulled open easily by one person.

    H-Bomb Testing

    23 nuclear devices were tested at Bikini Atoll by the United States from 1946 to 1958. This image is of one of those tests.
    With all of the nuclear weapons that went off in the area, the island was made uninhabitable due to the radiation.

    Was any forum member left outside for a bit of fresh air and sunshine when they were young?

    Baby Cages

    Another idea that didn’t take off in London was the idea of these baby cages. In 1934, London proposed using
    them as a way for infants to get access to fresh air and sunlight, without actually leaving the house. The optics
    on the decision weren’t particularly great, so the idea rejected pretty soon after.

    Once at the heart of one of London’s most infamous Victorian rookeries or slums, Saffron Hill, located between Holborn and Clerkenwell, is associated with the Charles Dickens 1838 novel Oliver Twist and in particular as the home of the arch criminal Fagin. Photo: c1870
