RheEnergise said it invented the new high-density fluid, known as R-19. Chief executive Stephen Crosher told Professional Engineering that the liquid is a fine-milled suspended solid in water, with low viscosity and low abrasion characteristics. The base material is used in oral medication applications, in a similar way that chalk is used as a bulking agent for pills and tablets. He said the raw materials are common and available, including in the UK, and the fluid could either be manufactured on-site or at a depot.

And there is, of course, next to nothing you can do about it. In the 1930s, riders used to attempt a cure by putting a steak down their shorts and riding on that, with the additional benefit that it tenderised the steak to perfection.

"When you have six hours to create a dance routine you had to make it work," Colby explained in an interview, "so I suppose I should apologise for the routines which didn't make sense." One of the dancers, Cherry Gillespie, remembered: "If the record we'd been rehearsing all week went down in the charts, we couldn't do it, so a whole new creation had to take place. I thought Flick would have a heart attack. We used to call it Frisbee Day because she would throw the singles around."

Mên-an-Tol is supposed to have a fairy or piskie guardian who can make miraculous cures. In one story, a changeling baby was put through the stone in order for the mother to get the real child back. Evil piskies had changed her child, and the ancient stones were able to reverse their evil spell.[7] Another legend is that passage through the stone will cure a child of rickets (osteomalacia). For centuries, children with rickets were passed naked through the hole in the middle stone nine times.

AI Overview A "bird bath token" usually refers to putting a copper coin (especially older, pre-1982 pennies) or a specially designed copper disk/token into a bird bath to naturally prevent slimy algae growth, as copper ions act as an algicide, keeping water cleaner and healthier for birds, though regular cleaning is still essential. Less commonly, it could mean decorative tokens for games or collectible Ghibli-themed wooden tokens, but the algae prevention method is the primary meaning.

With a big dog you are fighting for your life. If you are weaponless try to tangle the dog up in your bike. Use your legs to kick at the dog's stomach and genitals. If you have got a pump or stick and the dog is moving too fast for you to ram it down its throat, hold the pump by both ends and offer it up to the dog horizontally. Often the dog will bite the stick/pump and hang on hard. Immediately lift the dog up and deliver a very solid kick to the genitals. If you have no pump or stick, throw rocks, or use a heavy rock as a club. If worst comes to worst, and you are forced down to the ground by the dog, ram your entire arm down its throat. He will choke and die. Better your arm than your throat.

and I just remember getting very carried away with being on TOTP and very excited and really doing one of my best vocal performances on live TV for that. I think it was before it went to number 1 - I think it was like about top 5, or top 10 or something - and I really believe that my live performance on TOTP helped to push it up to number 1. I remember very well The KLF was on [my episode].
When it comes to saddle width, you want to ensure that both your sit bones rest comfortably on the saddle so they’re not teetering on the edge. Saddles often come in two different widths, narrow and wide. Just for the record, having wide sit bones doesn’t mean you have a big bum!
Guardian Comment by Highbury 18 hours ago "Members can choose to push our government to be bolder, to go further and do more with me as their voice at the cabinet table, or they can choose the kind of division and disunity that fills the pages of the rightwing papers and energises our opponents." Charming. As far as I remember there is only one other candidate for Labour's Deputy Leader. According to Bridget Phillipson, a vote for this other candidte would be a vote for ... ".... the kind of division and disunity that fills the pages of the rightwing papers and energises our opponents". My understanding is that the only 'opponent' is Lucy Powell who served as Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Council from July 2024 to September 2025. Yet now, former Cabinet colleague, Lucy Powell represents ".... the kind of division and disunity that fills the pages of the rightwing papers and energises our opponents". How come it took the Prime Minister so long to notice that Powell represents ".... the kind of division and disunity that fills the pages of the rightwing papers and energises our opponents".
