Eupalinos
Eupalinos or Eupalinus of Megara was an ancient Greek engineer who built the Tunnel of Eupalinos on Samos Island in the 6th century BC.
The tunnel, presumably completed between 550 and 530 BC, is the second known tunnel in history which was excavated from both ends and the first with a methodical approach in doing so.
Being also the longest tunnel of its time, the Tunnel of Eupalinos is regarded as a major feat of ancient engineering.
It was constructed for the tyrant Polycrates of Samos, and was a remarkable long.
It brought water to the city, passing through limestone at the base of a hill; this tunnel still exists.
The Greek historian Herodotus describes the tunnel briefly in his" Histories"( 3.60) and calls Eupalinos of Megara its architect: Eupalinos is considered the first hydraulic engineer in history whose name has been passed down.
Apart from that, though, nothing more is known about him.
A large road tunnel, named after Eupalinos has been recently built under the Geraneia mountains in Corinthia, to facilitate the new expressway connection between Athens and Corinth.
Eupalinos tunnel is the longest of three subsequent tunnels of the same width at this expressway.
Theodred II (Bishop of Elmham)
Theodred II was a medieval Bishop of Elmham.
The date of Theodred's consecration unknown, but the date of his death was sometime between 995 and 997.
Black Rock Tunnel
The Black Rock Tunnel is an active rail road tunnel of the old Reading Railroad.
The 1835 tunnel was the third rail tunnel constructed in the United States, and is the third oldest still in use.
The tunnel is also notable as being the first for which shafts were sunk during construction.
The tunnel is cut through a hill in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, United States.
The tunnel and line are now owned by Norfolk Southern as part of its Harrisburg Line.
The Black Rock Tunnel was constructed between 1835 and 1837 and opened in 1838.
W. Hasell Wilson was the resident engineer in charge.
The tunnel was originally long, wide, and high.
The tunnel passes below the top of the hill.
A then- unique feature of the tunnel's construction was the sinking of six, diameter shafts, tangent to the tunnel cross section.
These shafts were spaced at intervals to correct errors in the tunnel alignment.
Construction of the tunnel cost an estimated$ 178,992.
Noted local miner, geologist and palaentologist Charles M. Wheatley examined the rock excavated from the tunnel and identified many previously unknown fossilized species, some of which now bear his name.
In 1858 and 1859 the Black Rock and Flat Rock Tunnels were widened to accommodate the wider rolling stock from the Lebanon Valley Branch.
The spacing between the tracks was increased from to.
The widening of the tunnel was the first project to employ electric detonation of multiple explosive charges.
The northern end of the tunnel is high on a steep bank of the Schuylkill River so the rail line makes a dramatic transition from tunnel to bridge.
The ends of the Black Rock Tunnel are located at and.
Gene Kelly
Eugene Curran Kelly (August 23, 1912 – February 2, 1996) was an American-Irish dancer, actor of film, stage, and television, singer, film director, producer, screenwriter, comedian and choreographer.
He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks, and the likable characters that he played on screen.
Best known today for his performances in films such as "On the Town" (1949), "An American in Paris" (1951), "Anchors Aweigh" (1945)— for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor—and "Singin' in the Rain" (1952)
, he starred in musical films until they fell out of fashion in the late 1950s.
He starred in, choreographed, or co-directed some of the most well-regarded musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, debuting with Judy Garland in "For Me and My Gal" (1942), and followed by "Du Barry Was a Lady" (1943), "Thousands Cheer" (1943), "The Pirate" (1948), and
"It's Always Fair Weather" (1955), among others.

(1964).
Kelly directed films without a collaborator (in some of which he starred), including "Hello, Dolly!"
(1969), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Tunnel of Love Express Tour
The Tunnel of Love Express was a concert tour by Bruce Springsteen and featuring The E Street Band along with The Horns of Love that took place in 1988.
It followed by four and a half months the release of Springsteen's 1987 album," Tunnel of Love".
Considerably shorter in duration than most Springsteen tours before or since, it played limited engagements in most cities, leading to tickets being in great demand.
Shows were held in arenas in the U.S. and stadiums in Europe and included a historic performance in East Berlin.
The tour was a finacial Juggernaut wich grossed 44, 5 USD in Five months.
Merchandise more than doubled in price and Springsteen received 95% of the ticketsales, instead of 60- 70% on the Born in the USA tour.
The band was also payed less money on this tour than the previous.
Forbes reported Springsteens earnings from 1986 to 1987 to 56 million dollar.
Forbes also reported Springsteens earnings from 1987 to 1988 to 61 million dollars.( UPI archives 1988- 09- 18).
Coming on the heels of the massively successful" Born in the U.S.A. Tour", the Tunnel of Love Express was designed to disorient Springsteen's audiences.
A theatrical entrance began the show, a full horn section appeared, band members were rearranged from their customary positions, and on- stage spontaneity was kept to a minimum.
Set lists were unusually static, and many of Springsteen's most popular concert numbers were omitted altogether.
Instead, the shows featured Springsteen B-sides and outtakes as well as renditions of obscure genre songs by others.
Critical reaction to the concerts was generally favorable, with some mixed reviews, while audiences were sometimes baffled.
The show featured backup singer Patti Scialfa brought center stage and the object of sexually themed presentations unusual for Springsteen.
That, combined with the dour nature of many" Tunnel of Love" songs, led to speculation that Springsteen's marriage to Julianne Phillips was troubled.
Further visual evidence of Springsteen and Scialfa becoming a couple emerged as the tour progressed, his separation from Phillips was officially confirmed, and for the first time Springsteen became the subject of a tabloid fervor.
Springsteen and Scialfa eventually married, and the Tunnel of Love Express shows were the last full- length ones Springsteen would play with the E Street Band for eleven years.
The Tunnel of Love (Fun Boy Three song)
" The Tunnel of Love"( sometimes listed as" Tunnel of Love") is a song written and recorded by the group Fun Boy Three.

The B- side featured an alternative version of their debut single" The Lunatics( Have Taken Over the Asylum)", performed using only voices and body percussion.
Most issues of the single list the title as" The Tunnel of Love" on the cover and" Tunnel of Love" on the label.
On the album" Waiting", the title is consistently given as" The Tunnel of Love".
