Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Shield of the Trinity - Variations

Some variations of the Shield of the Trinity diagram are shown in the image below (click on the caption to see a larger clearer version): A shield-shaped version of the diagram placed on a red shield (heraldic "gules") was attributed as the arms of God (or of the Trinity) by heralds in medieval England and France. The "banner of the Trinity" which Jean Le Fevre, Seigneur of St. Remy, and Jehan de Wavrin attest that Henry V of England displayed at Agincourt would have been the same (but with the emblem on a red flag instead of a red sh ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Shield of the Trinity - Name

The only name for this diagram which was in any regular use during the middle ages was "Scutum Fidei" (a Latin phrase meaning "Shield of the Faith", taken from the Vulgate of Ephesians verse 6:16). For example, in this ca. 1247-1258 manuscript of John of Wallingford's writings, the quote from Ephesians 6:16 is placed directly above the diagram. While the diagram seems to have been thought of as the armorial bearings of the Trinity from at least the mid-13th century (when it was included among the ca. 1250-1259 A.D. heraldic shields in ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Shield of the Trinity - Significance

The main achievement of the Shield of the Trinity diagram is to transfer a large part of the essential "mystery" or "paradox" of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity from the realm of complex verbal philosophical abstractions and esoteric theological vocabulary to the realm of simple logic, as presented in the relatively easily graspable form of a concrete and conveniently compact visual diagram. It is remarkable as a basically-successful attempt, roughly 800 years old, to represent a complex set of abstract concepts in precise graphic form ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - The Shield - About the series

The Shield is about an experimental police precinct set up in the fictional Farmington neighborhood ("the Farm") of Los Angeles, using a converted church ("the Barn") as their police station. Although Michael Chiklis has top billing with his portrayal of Detective Vic Mackey, the show has an ensemble cast that will normally run a number of separate story lines through each episode, giving other characters plenty of screen time. Detective Mackey is the leader of the Strike Team, a brutal four-man anti-gang unit based on the LAPD ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Heraldry - Shield and lozenge

Traditionally, as women did not go to war, they would not have a shield. Instead, their coats-of-arms would be shown on a lozenge, usually a square standing on one of its corners. As women may now serve in the armed forces in a number of countries, some armigerous women prefer to use a shield anyway. A parallel usage for noncombatant clergymen could be found sometimes on the European continent, with the occasional placement of arms on a cartouche (an oval-shaped vehicle for their display). For more detail on the use of the lozenge (subject to certain rules) by women in the British heraldic trad ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Naval mine - Strategy

Mines are used in many different ways and for different reasons. International law requires nations to declare when they mine an area. This is to make it easier for civil shipping to avoid the mines. The warnings do not have to be specific however. For example, Britain declared areas such as the English Channel, North Sea and French coast mined during the Second World War. There are three main uses of mines: Offensive, Defensive and Psychological. Offensive mines are placed in enemy waters, outside harbours and in important routes. Th ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Asteroid mining - Asteroid selection

The Near-Earth asteroids orbit in close proximity to the Earth and are considered likely candidates for early mining activity. Their low delta-v location makes them suitable for use in extracting construction materials for space-based facilities, greatly reducing the economic cost of transporting supplies into Earth orbit. The table below shows a comparison of delta-v requirements for various missions. In terms of propulsion energy requirements, a mission to a near-earth asteroid compares favorably to alternative mining missions. Low earth orbits (LEO) a ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Borehole mining - Description of a BHM tool

The tool consists of at least two concentric pipes which are forming two hydraulic channels - one for pumping down a high-pressure working agent (water) and second for delivering pregnant slurry back to the surface. A BHM tool usually has (down-up): an eductor (waterjet pump) section, a hydromonitor section, an extension section and a hub, connecting it all to a drill pipe string. This string extends the tool up to the surface. Above the surface, the tool has a swivel allowing its suspension and rotation in a hole, and also connections to the working agent supply (pump station) and a slurry colle ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Springhill mining disaster - 1958 Bump

The 1958 Bump which occurred on October 23, 1958 was the most severe "bump" in North American mining history and devastated the people of Springhill with the casualties it took, and devastated the town: the mines had been the town's economic lifeblood, and were never reopened following the disaster. A "bump" is caused when coal is totally removed from a stratum and the resulting geological stresses upon surrounding bedrock (shale, sandstone, etc. in most coal-bearing strata) can cause the surrounding pillars of the galleries to suddenly and catas ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association - History

In 1929, Justin Ford Kimball became vice president of Baylor University in Dallas, Texas. An experienced administrator, he headed the College of Medicine, School of Nursing, College of Dentistry, and the university hospital. Soon after taking the job, he developed a health plan that guaranteed teachers 21 days of hospital care for $6 a year. The plan was extended to other employee groups in Dallas, and similar plans began to spread nationally. The cross symbol was first used in a 1934 advertisement for the Hospital Service Association ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Tunnelling shield - History

The first successful tunnelling shield was developed by Sir Marc Isambard Brunel to excavate the Thames Tunnel beginning in 1825 (though the tunnel would not be opened until 1843). Brunel is said to have been inspired in his design by the shell of the shipworm teredo navalis, a mollusc whose efficiency at boring through submerged timber he observed while working in a shipyard. Brunel's original design was substantially improved by Peter W. Barlow in the course of the construction of the Tower Subway under the River Thames in ce ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Dalkon Shield - Design

Like other IUDs, the Dalkon Shield was designed to be inserted into the uterus through the cervix. Like other IUDs, it had a trailing plastic "string" that reached through the cervix and into the vagina, providing users with tactile confirmation that the IUD was properly in place and medical practitioners with a means of removing the device. Rather than a single-strand string, the Dalkon Shield used a braided, ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Dalkon Shield - History

The first modern IUDs were produced by Dr. Jack Lippes in the 1960s. They were made of plastic with an attached monofilament plastic tail. This tail had two purposes: By inserting a finger into the vagina and feeling the tail, a woman could be assured the IUD was in place, and it could be removed by a medical doctor when desired by the patient. Popular IUDs of the era include the Lippes Loop and the Saf-T-Coil. In 1970 the A.H. Robins Company acquired the Dalkon Shield product from the Dalkon Corporation. In 1971, Dalkon Shi ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Ranfurly Shield - History

In 1901, the Governor of New Zealand, the Earl of Ranfurly, announced that he would present a cup to the New Zealand Rugby Football Union, to be used as the prize in a competition of their choosing. When the cup (which actually turned out to be a shield) arrived, the NZRFU decided that it would be awarded to the union with the best record in the 1902 season, and thenceforth be the subject of a challenge system. Auckland, unbeaten in 1902, were presented with the shield. The shield was also designed as a trophy for soccer, not rugby. This was ...

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Captain America's shield - The indestructible shield

The circular shield most associated with Captain America made its debut in Captain America Comics #2. A concave metal disc roughly 2.5 feet in diameter and weighing 12 pounds, it is virtually indestructible and has remained his most constant shield over the decades. Again through retroactive continuity, it was established that the shield was presented to Rogers by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The shield was created by an American metallurgist named Dr. Myron MacLain, who had been commissioned by the US government to create ...

In his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1, published by Timely Comics prior to the United States' entry into World War II, and as designed by Jack Kirby, Captain America (secretly Private Steve Rogers) was equipped with a triangular, badge-shaped shield. This original shield was said to be made from a bulletproof alloy.

Canadian Shield - Mining and economics: Encyclopedia II - Naval mine - Mine laying

Laying a minefield goes very fast with specialized ships, which is still today the most common method. These minelayers can carry several thousand mines and manoeuvre with high precision. The mines are dropped at a predefined interval into the water behind the ship. Each mine is recorded for later clearing, but it is not unusual for these recordings to be lost together with the ships. Therefore many countries demand that all mining operations shall be planned on land and records kept so the ...
