Battle of the war films: Brits vote on their favourite WW2 movies of all time - which do YOU think came out on top? Director Christopher Nolan's costly historical thriller Dunkirk proved the enduring popularity of war films to cinema audiences in the UK. But it may come as a surprise to some that the £112million picture – featuring pop singer Harry Styles – has topped a list of the nation's favourite Second World War films of all time. It beat classics such as The Dam Busters (1955) and The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957) in the poll by Deltapoll, which surveyed 1077 film buffs, for the War Movie Theatre podcast. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14697541/war-films-Brits-vote-favourite-WW2-movies.html

That is still a good series but the rest of the Law and Order and Chicago series has gone way down hill over the last few years. SVU has become the Captain Benson show. Fire is still OK but PD where they shout from across the road 'freeze' and take on the most mundane cases that would normally be handled by a constable on the beat, and the dreadful totally inaccurate 'med' where doctor doctor relationships and doctor nurse relationships is taking over and getting boring, actual medical stories are now fewer and far from reality. The best, med series this year is The Pitt. Nearly given up on the FBI ones as well, the one with Mr arm waving shouty is beyond hope, International seems to have gotten new writers and is now quite entertaining if far fetched.

I also thought that as well, I would simply put every event on a spreadsheet, easy then to see times and events, can sort it and look for spikes in an area easily

Looks they have no piled footings, for that price height and height it should have, but it looks like it is just leaning against a mud bank, they should have pilings and water drain holes. My perimeter walls are 3 to 5 meters in height with footings and cost B2500 a meter

I started it because it was compared to 'Band of Brothers', watched only one full episode so far but It's nothing like band of brothers, probably wont watch the rest.

I went there many years back maybe 1980, it will need a lot of work to bring it back up to working level as it was falling into the sea back then.

Correct on all counts. Auschwitz also had approximately 50 subcamps attached to the main camp (Auschwitz Stammlager ), the exact number varying slightly depending on classification and historical source. The subcamps were part of the broader Auschwitz complex, which included: Auschwitz I (the main camp Stammlager) Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the extermination camp) Auschwitz III-Monowitz (a labor camp serving IG Farben) The dozens of sub camps, were forced labor camps supporting German industry, agriculture, or infrastructure. Subcamps were harsh and deadly in their own right, with terrible living and working conditions.

A significant portion of Ukraine's valuable mineral resources are located in territories currently occupied by Russian forces. Estimates suggest that up to 70% of Ukraine's mineral wealth, valued at approximately $15 trillion, is situated in regions such as Donetsk, Luhansk, and parts of Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk, which are under Russian control or influence . These areas are rich in critical minerals, including lithium, titanium, uranium, graphite, and rare earth elements. Notably, the Shevchenkivske lithium deposit near Donetsk and the Kruta Balka site in Zaporizhzhia are among the most promising lithium reserves, but they are currently inaccessible due to the ongoing conflict .Al Jazeera+2Eurasian Times+2The Moscow Times+2Wall Street JournalDW+3France 24+3The Moscow Times+3 The recent U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement aims to establish a joint investment fund for Ukraine's reconstruction and to secure access to these critical mineral resources. However, the realization of this deal faces significant challenges, including the fact that many of these mineral-rich areas are under Russian occupation. The development and exploitation of these resources are contingent upon a lasting peace and the restoration of Ukrainian control over these territories .Reuters+2The Washington Post+2Wall Street Journal+2Reuters Ukraine possesses vast mineral wealth, much of it lies in regions currently occupied by Russia, posing substantial obstacles to their development and utilization in the near term.

Correct C-130 Hercules can use reverse thrust on its propellers to slow down or stop. The C-130's turboprop engines (Allison T56 or Rolls-Royce AE 2100 on newer variants) are equipped with variable-pitch propellers that can be moved into beta range or reverse pitch after touchdown. This allows the propellers to push air forward, creating a braking effect and significantly reducing landing roll distance. Reverse thrust is commonly used after landing, especially on short or unprepared runways. The technique helps the C-130 operate from improvised airstrips — a key feature of its tactical versatility. Pilots can select reverse pitch via the power levers once the aircraft is on the ground.
