The Blackwall Tunnel is a pair of road tunnels under the River Thames in East London. They link the London Borough of Tower Hamlets with the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

It was doubled in 1967, years after this had been needed. The northern approach is from the A12 road, and the southern approach is from the A2.

Halothane, aka Fluothane, is a general anesthetic used to induce or maintain anesthesia. Its systematic name is 2-Bromo-2-Chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane.  It was discovered in 1955 and approved for medical use in 1958.  It was replaced with newer anaesthetics such as isoflurane and enflurane in the more developed countries. In some severe cases after repeated exposure, it lead to a severe liver injury.

A carol is a festive song. It is generally religious but not necessarily connected with church worship. It is also often with a dance-like or popular character. Today the carol is represented almost by the Christmas carol, the Advent carol, and to a much lesser extent by the Easter carol, however despite their present association with religion, this has not always been the case. History. The word "carol" is thought to have been derived from the French word "caroller". That was a circle dance accompanied by singers (in turn derived from the Latin "choraula"). The carol was very popular as a dance song from the 1150s to the 1350s. That was after which its use expanded as a processional song sung during festivals. That was while others were written to accompany religious mystery plays (such as the "Coventry Carol", written in 1591).
Industrial music is a music genre. It describes a wide range of bands generally mixing rock with samplers and electronic instruments.  Taking its name from a record label, Industrial records, which was formed by the London band Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza. The roots of industrial music are firmly placed in punk rock, although the choice of instrumentation differs from the guitar/bass/drum combo of bands like the Sex Pistols. The first wave of this music appeared in the late 1970s in the United Kingdom with bands. These are like the afore mentioned Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and SPK. Blending electronic synthesisers, guitars and early samplers, these bands created an aggressive and abrasive music fusing elements of rock with experimental electronic music. Like their punk cousins, they enjoyed the use of shock-tactics including explicit lyrical content, graphic art and Fascist imagery. The label Industrial Records controversially used an image of a gas chamber. That was in its logo. Across the Atlantic, similar experiments were taking place. Boyd Rice (aka NON) released several albums of noise music. That was with guitar drones and tape loops creating a cacophony of repetitive sounds. In San Francisco, performance artist Monte Cazazza began releasing albums of atonal rock. In Germany Einstürzende Neubauten were performing acts daring, mixing metal percussion, guitars and even jackhammers in elaborate stage performances. They often damaged the venues they were playing. In the early 1980s advances in sampling technology, and the popularity of synthesised new wave music bought some industrial musicians greater exposure. As much as some new wave bands were informed by the experiments of the industrial bands, the original industrial groups also began to refine their sound. Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle experimented with dance beats, and the Cab's (as they were known by fans) album "The Crackdown" (1983) was released on Virgin Records to some success. Into the 1980s the more experimental side of industrial music became subsumed into dance and rock music. Psychic TV, formed from the remnants of Throbbing Gristle released
Experimental rock (or avant-rock) is a subgenre of rock music.  Overview. Experimental rock pushes the boundaries of common composition and performance technique or which experiments with the basic elements of the genre. Artists aim to liberate and innovate, with some of the genre's distinguishing characteristics being improvisational performances, avant-garde influences, odd instrumentation, opaque lyrics (or instrumentals), unorthodox structures and rhythms, and an underlying rejection of commercial aspirations. History. There was always experimentation in rock music, but it was not until the late 1960s that new openings were created from the aesthetic intersecting with the social. In 1966, the boundaries between pop music and the avant-garde began to blur, and rock albums began to be conceived and executed as distinct, extended statements. Rock musicians (mostly unschooled) in the middle and late 1960s drew from the work of composers like John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Luciano Berio.  Academic Bill Martin acknowledges: "in the case of imitative painters, what came out was almost always merely derivative, whereas in the case of rock music, the result could be quite original, because assimilation, synthesis, and imitation are integral parts of the language of rock." Martin argued that the advancing technology of multitrack recording and mixing boards were more influential to experimental rock than electronic instruments such as the synthesizer. He allowed the Beatles and the Beach Boys to become the first crop of non-classically trained musicians to create extended and complex compositions.  Drawing from the influence of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and the Beatles' George Martin, music producers after the mid 1960s began to view the recording studio as a musical instrument used to aid the process of composition.  When the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" (1966) was released to a four-month chart stay in the British Top 10, many British groups responded to the album by making more experimental use of recording studio techniques. In the late 1960s, groups such as the Mothers of Invention, the Velvet Underground, the Fugs, the Beatles, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience began incorporating elements such as avant-garde music, sound
Heartland rock is a genre of rock music. It was characterized by a straightforward musical style. That was a concern with the average American life, and a conviction. Rock music had that as a social or communal purpose beyond just entertainment. In concert heartland rock often took the form of crowd-rousing anthems, leading to comparisons with arena rock. Heartland rock faded away as a recognized genre by the early 1990s, as rock music in general lost influence with younger audiences and as heartland's artists turned to more personal works.  History. Many major heartland rock artists began their careers in the 1960s. Springsteen would be the first artist to bring heartland rock to US and international attention, and its most commercially successful exponent. After a series of critically highly regarded, but modestly selling albums with the E Street Band, he achieved his breakthrough in 1975 with "Born to Run", which presented stories of loss, betrayal, defeat and escape in the context of his native New Jersey shoreline, with songs influenced by 50s rock and roll, Bob Dylan and Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. While Springsteen struggled for three years with legal disputes, other artists in a similar vein came to the fore. These included Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Eddie Money, and fellow Jersey Shore residents Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. In 1978, Springsteen returned with "Darkness on the Edge of Town", which reached the top ten in the US and then the number one album "The River" (1980), which continued the themes of economic and personal dissolution, produced a series of hit singles.

The Guinle tree frog ("Aplastodiscus leucopygius") is a frog. It lives in Brazil. People have seen it between 800 and 1600 meters above sea level. The adult frog is about 35-45 mm long from nose to rear end. It is green in color with white marks near its rear end. It has large disks on its toes for climbing. The male frogs climb high into the trees before they sing for the female frogs. People have seen them sitting on high branches. Many of the places where this frog lives are in national parks, for example, Parque Estadual Nova Baden. So it is not in danger of dying out. But there are still fewer of these frogs than there were. This is because human beings change the places where they live. Human beings cut down trees and change wetlands to drier lands for wood for building or to build farms or make places for animals to eat grass.
