Construction of the replacement for the George Massey Tunnel is set to start in ,Transportation Minister Rob Fleming told a news conference Wednesday. The new tunnel will improve traffic flow, save travel time and make travel easier for those taking transit, cycling or walking, he said, adding it will not be tolled.

Two of the eight lanes, one in each direction, will be dedicated to rapid bus transit and there will be separated pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. Asked whether the planned tunnel will really reduce travel time for commuters during rush hour given two lanes will be reserved for buses, Fleming said the current four-lane tunnel uses a counter-flow system that leads to congestion.

The tunnel option was chosen instead of an eight-lane bridge because it was endorsed by the regional district, causes the least harm to the surrounding area, including the river, and allows for work to start right away, the province said. Former premier Christy Clark promised a lane bridge during the election, but the work was put on hold when the NDP took power in The bridge project had a completion date set for and in defence of the delay, Fleming pointed to "strenuous objections" to that plan from local governments.

An environmental assessment certificate had been issued for the previously planned bridge and Fleming said the province will move ahead immediately with improvements to the surrounding infrastructure while it works through the procurement and environmental assessment processes for the new tunnel. The province is hoping to receive "significant federal contribution" to help cover the cost of the project, Fleming said.

While the new tunnel will have a five-metre-wide two-directional multi-use path and dedicated rapid bus lanes, the province has concluded future rail is not warranted for this transportation corridor and rather the focus will remain on transit. After reviewing its business case looking at either building an eight-lane bridge or an eight-lane tunnel, the province decided on the latter to replace the current four-lane tunnel.

For the immersed tunnel option chosen, two side-by-side tubes will each contain four vehicle lanes, with two lanes dedicated for bus rapid transit.

A smaller third tube with a width of five metres will be dedicated for pedestrians and cyclists. The new tunnel will have a depth equal to that of the existing tunnel to meet navigational requirements in the Fraser River, and to reduce construction costs. It will have a length of 1. The footprint of the new tunnel will be upstream from the existing tunnel, which will be removed between and Artistic rendering of the new eight-lane immersed tunnel replacement for the George Massey Tunnel.

Parents should talk to their child's doctor if they have questions about the best sleeping position for their baby. Still, SIDS remains the leading cause of death in young infants. The "Safe to Sleep" campaign builds on "Back to Sleep," reminding parents and caregivers to put infants to sleep on their backs and provide a safe sleep environment.

For parents and families who have experienced a SIDS death, many groups, including First Candle, can provide grief counseling, support, and referrals. Reviewed by: Floyd R. Livingston Jr. Gavin, MD.

Other possible risks include: smoking, drinking, or drug use during pregnancy and after birth poor prenatal care prematurity or low birth weight family history of SIDS mothers younger than 20 being around tobacco smoke after birth overheating Doctors diagnose most health problems based on the symptoms they cause.

Why Is Stomach Sleeping Dangerous? Page 2 What Is "Back to Sleep"? Common Concerns Some parents might worry about " flat head syndrome " positional plagiocephaly. What Is "Safe to Sleep"? Here's how parents can help reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related deaths: Get early and regular prenatal care. Place your baby on a firm mattress to sleep, never on a pillow, waterbed, sheepskin, couch, chair, or other soft surface.

Cover the mattress with a fitted sheet and no other bedding. Keep soft objects and loose bedding out of the sleep area. Do not use bumper pads in cribs. Bumper pads can be a suffocation or strangulation hazard. Practice room-sharing without bed-sharing. Experts recommend that infants sleep in their parents' room — but on a separate surface, like a bassinet or crib next to the bed — until the child's first birthday, or for at least 6 months, when the risk of SIDS is highest.

Breastfeed , if possible. Exclusive breastfeeding or feeding with expressed milk is most protective, but any breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the risk of SIDS.

He also emphasized the importance of aligning SIDS environmental agenda with their economic agenda, to ensure sustainable development in the region. He also stressed the need for global financing goals to be commensurate with climate and development targets in SIDS, and accounting for the new challenges from the COVID pandemic.

This need for special support for small and vulnerable states to improve access to climate finance was also reinforced by the Rt Hon. Ms Scotland spoke about the Climate Finance Access Hub , which helps vulnerable states to navigate the international finance system and bid for climate finance. She also emphasized the importance of a coordinated, multilateral approach among all SIDS and their development partners to achieve their common environmental and development goals.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome haunts parents and kills over a thousand American children a year 1, in Now, because of investigations, we can diagnose babies that had undiagnosed issues at birth, either cardiac or other inborn metabolic issues, and we can give them a diagnosis upon death. Most babies are starting to wiggle and roll and crawl and move.

Still, the older a baby gets, the more preventable tragedies become, particularly with some vigilance on the part of parents. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests not using blankets, pillows, or stuffed animals in cribs, though sleep sacks can be used in their place to provide warmth and decreased mobility.

Cribs should be placed far from wires, cords, outlets, and other potential strangulation apparatuses. Mattress cracks can be filled in to prevent a baby from falling between and suffocating.

The organization is dedicated to offering support and advice to kids with incarcerated parents The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Frank has a total of seven children Charlie Rose. When asked if his wife requested this of him in real life, Frank Lucas said, "Very much so. That was true. The movie American Gangster shows Richie Roberts and his first wife in a custody battle that ends with Richie admitting that he is a failure as a father.

In reality, Richie Roberts and his first wife did not have a child together. Richie told the New York Post that the movie's depiction of his relationship with his first wife is offensive. And there was still a lot of leftover from the crazy sixties.

You know, sexual freedom. And I didn't do anything differently than anybody else did at that time. In the movie, we see American gangster Frank Lucas Denzel Washington connecting with celebrities at a boxing match. In real life, Frank was especially good friends with the heavyweight champ Joe Louis. And my daughter used to push him off the [toys]. He [Sean] made it great. You see where he's at now. He's on top of the world now. That was in addition to giving up the key of cocaine that the police had confiscated from Melvin.

By , 52 out of the 70 officers who had been assigned to the unit were either in jail or under indictment New York Magazine. Frank responded to this question by saying, "I'm gonna tell you right now. Yes the hell I did blow it up. In an interview, Frank said that this really happened, but that he did not pay the cop off in the street as shown in the movie American Gangster. Instead, the detective took Lucas to the station house, where Lucas agreed to pay the detective "30 grand and two keys.

In the movie, a crooked cop finds money that is buried under a doghouse at Denzel Washington's character's home.

The movie American Gangster shows a family member of Frank's turning on him and working with the police to bring him down. In an interview, Richie Roberts said that this is true. We had three detectives who really spearheaded our investigation: Jones, Spearman, and Abruzzo. We helped them flip a cousin who was an informant. He testified during the trial. Julie Lucas served time in prison for throwing suitcases full of money out of their bathroom window.

I'm more like a composite. We had a squad of guys that worked on him. We're angry," said Jones. It is believed to be the house that is slightly southeast of the pointer on this map See Google Map.

Aftershocks are sometimes just as hazardous as the main quake itself. When this happens the aftershock will be renamed as the main quake, and the main quake will be considered a foreshock. Scientists finally know how big earthquakes start: With many smaller ones. Faults likely weaken or change before a large earthquake, new research has found. Though there is no way to pinpoint the exact arrival of an earthquake, scientists can examine sediment samples to get an idea of when major earthquakes occurred in the past.

By measuring the amount of time between events, they can come up with a rough idea of when a major quake might hit. The shaking will feel violent and it will be difficult to stand up. The contents of your house will be a mess. A large earthquake far away will feel like a gentle bump followed several seconds later by stronger rolling shaking that may feel like sharp shaking for a little while.

But wait—how would a dog know an earthquake is coming? Dogs have a wider hearing range and better scent detection than humans. Some scientists suggest that dogs can hear seismic activities that precede earthquakes such as the scraping, grinding, and breaking of rocks underground.

According to the study, of 1, dog owners said they observed strange behaviors, such as neediness, barking, and howling before the quake. This depends on the size of the earthquake and the observer's distance from it, because earthquake waves spread out as they travel whilst becoming weaker. A magnitude 6 earthquake several hundred kilometres away can be often be felt for 30—40 seconds. The actual duration of slip on the earthquake fault is usually quite brief — just a few seconds for a magnitude 6 for example.

This is because the fault rupture spreads very quickly, so the whole process of faulting is over very quickly. During the very largest earthquakes, fault rupture can continue for up to 5 minutes as the rupture spreads over a length of say km.

For these earthquakes very high levels of aftershocks mean that continuous ground shaking can be felt for some hours. Privacy Statement Disclaimer and Copyright. Staff Search.

Subduction is a process that generally lasts for millions of years. It shuts off when an entire plate has disappeared, or something causes the plate to change its direction so that it is no longer subducting. For an ocean island volcano, the timescale for activity is the lifetime of the mantle plume or other source of melt.

For a single eruption, the controlling factor is the volume of melt present in the magma chamber and the degree to which the magma chamber is over-pressurized. An eruption will usually last until the local melt has been depleted, or until the gas pressure inside the magma chamber falls to a level at which gas is no longer trying to escape. The first is the length of time it takes for the fault to rupture and the second is the length of time shaking is felt at any given point e.

The duration of fault rupture is related to both how long it takes for a spot on the fault to slip which seems to be quite fast and the time it takes rupture to proceed along a fault. You have to think of an earthquake as an area on a fault rather than just a point.

It starts at a point and then the rupture propagates along the fault at around 2 kilometers or so per second. So the larger the area of the fault that ruptures, the longer the duration of the earthquake. And larger magnitude earthquakes have larger fault areas. So there is a general relationship between duration and magnitude. The reason we don't list this sort of duration on the Latest Earthquake website is that figuring out how long an earthquake took to rupture is still a research project that takes some time rather than an automated process.

The duration of shaking at a point on the ground depends on how long the earthquake took to occur and how the waves move through the ground to that point. If there are a lot of reflections and resonances near the point for instance in a sedimentary valley , the shaking will last longer.

In an area without resonances for instance on a hard block of rock , it will last a shorter time. You must also specify a duration of shaking over a given level.

We can actually detect the shaking from the very largest earthquakes for weeks after they occur, but no one would say that they felt it for that long. So the duration of shaking is a very complex topic. We actually do use the duration of shaking to estimate the magnitude for some small earthquakes.

If you see a "Md" or "duration magnitude" on the Latest Earthquake webpages, this is what has been done. For an explanation see Magnitude. This is much like having someone yell, counting the echos, and then estimating how loud they yelled from how many echos you could hear. Finally, the damage to a given structure will depend both on the amplitude of the shaking and its duration. How to best combine these quantities into an estimate of the amount of damage is ongoing research.

The primary goal of U. Geological Survey USGS Natural Hazards Response is to ensure that the disaster response community has access to timely, accurate, and relevant geospatial products, imagery, and services during and after an emergency event.

Earthquakes are one of the most costly natural hazards faced by the Nation, posing a significant risk to 75 million Americans in 39 States. The risks that earthquakes pose to society, including death, injury, and economic loss, can be greatly reduced by 1 better planning, construction, and mitigation practices before earthquakes happen, and During the past 35 years, scientists have developed a vast network of seismometers that record earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and nuclear explosions throughout the world.

Seismographic data support disaster response, scientific research, and global security. With this network, the United States maintains world leadership in monitoring the USGS map displaying intensity of potential ground shaking from natural and human-induced earthquakes. There is a small chance one percent that ground shaking intensity will occur at this level or higher. There is a greater chance 99 percent that ground shaking will be lower than what is displayed in these maps.

Most of the resort hotels have their own dedicated water taxi, so you will be picked up from the hotel and brought directly to the CityWalk dock every time, and vice versa. However, there is just one dock at CityWalk where all boats arrive and depart.

While the water taxis are fun and give you a few minutes to rest your feet, they are not necessarily the fastest way to the parks. This roughly one-third-of-a-mile walkway is extremely easy to follow, beautifully landscaped, and safe because it never crosses any public roads.

A circus in those days was more than a performance—it was a culture. One less sensitive than ours, but also less jaded. Alongside the big top were smaller tents that contained wonders and oddities and thrills: fat men and bearded ladies, dwarves and giants, conjoined twins and acrobats with missing limbs.

And it was sexy too. In an era of long skirts, long sleeves and long sermons, the circus gave people permission to stare at athletes in tights and tiny costumes. The women wore outfits with legs showing up to here and cleavage down to there. The men marched shirtless, with muscles rippling, to swing upside down high in the air and snatch tumbling women from the edge of disaster.

This rolling exotica sank its hooks deep in the American mind.

Growing giant redwoods Sequoiadendron giganteum from cuttings is also possible, but I do not have much experience with that.

Once I managed to get a few through the winter. When they started growing new green tips in spring, I planted them in the hope that they would root, but sadly that didn't work. The use of a rooting hormone like IBA, adjusted compost, and some more trial and error experience would probably dramatically increase the chance of success. When you're striking cuttings, please do so late in season when the growing of the new offspring is still strong, but the wood has already hardened somewhat.

You should also strike your cuttings from trees as young as possible. Plant in area of low wind. Provide wind protection for young trees, especially in cold climates. In cold climates mulch with a heavy layer of bark or wood chips in the Fall to protect roots from freezing. Tips of branches may turn brown in cold weather until tree is rooted deeply, this is normal and especially true on young trees.

In its natural state, rubber has numerous attractive qualities, including rust, corrosion and mold resistance. But rubber is very soft and elastic, which can restrict its performance in certain applications.

This has led some manufacturing companies to use vulcanized rubber to overcome this challenge. Vulcanization was invented by Charles Goodyear in In his patent, Goodyear described the process of using chemicals to change the physical properties of rubber.

Goodyear also wrote about the use of additional chemicals to accelerate the vulcanization process at lower temperatures. Known as accelerators, these additional chemicals often include carbon or zinc. Vulcanization usually involves the application of sulfur. The 10th most abundant element in the universe, sulfur changes the physical properties of natural rubber as well as synthetic rubber. During a vulcanization process, rubber and sulfur, along with other chemicals, is heated to about degrees to degrees Fahrenheit in a pressurized mold.

The combination of heat and chemicals forces the rubber to retract, and harden.

Macrophages media icon are white blood cells that swallow up and digest germs, plus dead or dying cells. The macrophages leave behind parts of the invading germs called antigens.

The body identifies antigens as dangerous and stimulates antibodies to attack them. B-lymphocytes are defensive white blood cells. They produce antibodies that attack the antigens left behind by the macrophages. T-lymphocytes are another type of defensive white blood cell. They attack cells in the body that have already been infected. How Vaccines Work Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. Types of Vaccines Scientists take many approaches to developing vaccines. These vaccines contain a version of the living virus or bacteria that has been weakened so that it does not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune systems.

Because live, attenuated vaccines are the closest thing to a natural infection, they are good teachers for the immune system.

Examples of live, attenuated vaccines include measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine MMR and varicella chickenpox vaccine. COVID vaccines are not experimental. They went through all the required stages of clinical trials. Extensive testing and monitoring have shown that these vaccines are safe and effective. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID Delta Variant.
