Strategically positioned on the northern banks at the entrance to the River Tyne, Tynemouth (Castle) Battery was the primary coastal defences protecting the important industrial centre of Newcastle. Almost in constant use since the 18th Century, what remains today is a selection of infrastructure representative of the last 150 years of coastal artillery development.
The earliest remains on site are the northernmost of six positions, constructed in 1893 to mount a 6 inch BL Mark. VI gun. This was one of two original BL guns on the site.
The next major upgrade to the battery was in 1902 when two 6 inch BL Mk. VII guns were installed, and two 12 pounder positions were also constructed, directly covering the entrance to the river against smaller, faster moving craft. Finally in 1904 a single 9.2 inch BL Mk. X position was constructed, destroying one of the earlier 6 inch positions.
The site was decommissioned in 1956 with the disbandment of the Coastal Artillery Regiment.
The site was operational during both the First World War and Second World War, with no major rebuilding of the battery structures.
While little evidence remains of the associated structures within the castle walls, the magazines and stores for the selection of armaments do remain. The site is under the custodianship of English Heritage who have sympathetically restored aspects of the battery and which can be visited.
Detail photo of the positioning of a small glass tube filled with argon gas that contains a twisted nanocarbon across from a high-resolution micro lens, which will be used to monitor the local temperature of the small filaments in an experiment in the Kotov Lab at the North Campus Research Center of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. This lens and the software used with it allowed for precise thermal mapping of the twisted nanocarbon. The glass tube is filled with argon because nanocarbon is highly susceptible to oxidation under air conditions, especially when heated. Argon, being an inert gas, prevents oxidation and ensures the stability of the nanocarbon during high-temperature operation.
Researchers from the Kotov Lab have found that submicrometer twisted filaments made from materials like nanocarbon or metals can produce strong chiral infrared photons, especially in the wavelength range of 500 to 300 nanometers. The twisted filaments emit light that is significantly brighter, up to 100 times more bright than other similar light emitters. The special helical shape of the filaments helps in controlling the type of twisted light they emit. Additionally, coating these nanocarbons with durable, transparent ceramics results in bright and adjustable chiral emitters capable of functioning at temperatures that were previously thought to be unreachable. This advancement opens new possibilities in the field of chiral photonics and high-temperature applications.

Here you can see how the table is slanted. It's adjustable between 0 and 90 degrees. Also the table is height adjustable. I've raised the table from the flat position pictures.
This is the tail gunner's gunsight and windscreen on a B-17. The tail gunner must crawl into this aftmost section that sits behind even the rudder of the tail. Tail gunners had the highest mortality rate of any crewmember.

Daniel also represented the North East at the Basketball England aspire junior level over a two year period 2018 and 2019.
Daniel would have made the final cut at the Yorkshire Basketball England aspire junior level if not for covid stopping the event 2020.
Daniel Has Aspirations to play in any of the following Leagues or tournaments.
The British Basketball League (BBL)
Outside North America, the top clubs from national leagues qualify to continental championships such as the EuroLeague and the Basketball Champions League Americas.
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the most significant professional basketball league in the world in terms of popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition (drawing most of its talent from U.S. college basketball).
The FIBA Basketball World Cup and Men's Olympic Basketball Tournament are the major international events of the sport and attract top national teams from around the world.
Each continent hosts regional competitions for national teams, like EuroBasket and FIBA AmeriCup.
Dominic Hosinger remains calm and must think of an escape plan, as his competitor attempts to preform a break down.
Newry and Linfield players get into position as Linfield have a corner in the league meeting between the two sides.

Positioned squarely in the "roaring forties" latitudes next to the warm Tasman Sea, Mt. Cook (12,349 feet) and neighboring peaks wring moisture from the continuous winds and create huge fast-moving glaciers. Fox Glacier descends steeply to just 700 feet above sea level, and Franz Josef Glacier descends to 1000 feet elevation. Nowhere else in the world at this latitude have glaciers advanced so close to sea level. Fox Glacier moves about 3 feet per day, and Franz Josef Glacier has been clocked at up to 16 feet per day, about 10 times faster than Swiss glaciers.
