Different rock layers are more or less eroded by water after their resistance. So we can find a passage like this in the Inghiottitoio dai Fornez (Pradis, Friûl) where the cross section is shaped by the different resistace to erosion of limestone and conglomerate. In this particular case, conglomerate looks to be harder and a think layer forms a sort of shelf on the sides of the passage, that has a number 8 shaped cross section.

The P-47 Thunderbolt, which would become one of the most successful and widely produced fighters in history, began as the brainchild of two Russian aircraft designers fleeing the Soviet Union—Alexander de Seversky and Alexander Kartveli. Kartveli had begun designing fighters for Seversky, including the P-35, and stayed on with Seversky Aircraft after it was renamed Republic Aviation. Kartveli had designed the radial-engined P-43 Lancer and P-44 Rocket, and was working on the inline-engined XP-47 when the US Army Air Force cancelled all three programs in 1940, citing that they were inferior to the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.
Kartveli then proposed a new design based on the P-43/44, but much larger, with a turbocharged R-2800 Double Wasp engine, one of the most powerful radials available at the time. The size of the turbocharger and the engine meant that the fuselage had to be much larger as well; as the USAAF wanted an eight-gun fighter along the lines of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, the new design was equipped with elliptical wings containing eight .50 caliber machine guns. The resulting design, designated XP-47B Thunderbolt, was huge: it was 65 percent heavier than the P-43 and nearly twice the weight of the Spitfire. When pilots saw it, they thought that its size and shape (and likely, its flying characteristics) resembled that of a milk jug, forever earning the Thunderbolt its moniker of “Jug.” Though the first XP-47B prototype crashed soon after its first flight in May 1941, its speed and performance were impressive.
Minor problems with the P-47B production version led to the P-47C, the first combat-ready version of the Thunderbolt, which arrived in England in January 1943. Assigned to the 4th Fighter Group, whose pilots were used to flying Spitfires, initially the Thunderbolt seemed a failure. It could not turn with either the Bf 109 or the new Focke-Wulf 190, and its climbing ability left much to be desired.
The indifferent performance of the P-47C and high accident rate led Republic to refine the design in the definitive P-47D variant, which introduced better cooling for the engine and, most importantly, paddle-bladed propeller blades. Now the Thunderbolt began to prove Kartveli’s faith in the fighter. The 56th Fighter Group, led by Hubert Zemke, had been trained from the start in the P-47 and benefited from earlier experience. Zemke, assisted by future aces Francis Gabreski and Robert Johnson, developed ambush tactics that emphasized the Thunderbolt’s advantage in weight; the P-47D’s improved engine and propeller gave it an edge over the Luftwaffe over 15,000 feet that the Germans were not able to equal until the introduction of the Messerschmitt 262 jet in 1944. This was a huge advantage for USAAF pilots, as the majority of air combat over Germany took place at altitudes of 20,000 feet. While the P-51 Mustang was more manueverable, longer-ranged, and better in the vertical, it was Gabreski and Johnson, in their P-47s, who became the top American aces in Europe. In response to pilots complaining about the lack of rear vision in the “razorback” P-47D, Republic introduced the “bubbletop” version, which cut down the rear fuselage and added a P-51 style bubble canopy, giving the Thunderbolt pilot superb visibility.
What endeared the Thunderbolt to its pilots, however, was its legendary toughness. Robert Johnson was attacked by first a flight of 16 Fw 190s and then another flown by Luftwaffe ace Egon Mayer: Johnson’s P-47D survived 250 hits that shattered his canopy, briefly set his aircraft on fire, and damaged the engine—Mayer actually ran out of ammunition trying to destroy Johnson’s aircraft. Since it was far more survivable than the inline-engined P-38 and P-51, much of the European Theater’s P-47s were shifted away from bomber escort and to 9th Air Force’s ground-attack force. Armed with rockets, bombs, and their eight machine guns, Thunderbolts proved to be devastating in this role, attacking anything that moved in Western Europe: by war’s end, ground attack P-47s had destroyed over 6000 tanks; it was especially deadly to trains, accounting for 9000 locomotives. 3752 German fighters became victims of P-47 pilots in the air. P-47Ds also served in the Pacific theater, though in fewer numbers compared to the P-38; nonetheless, they also turned in a stellar combat record. Allied air forces also flew P-47s, including the RAF (mainly in the Pacific), and expeditionary units of the Brazilian and Mexican Air Forces.
After war’s end, though more advanced “Pacific” versions of the Thunderbolt had been introduced in the P-47M/N, it was rapidly retired from service in favor of jets (namely the F-84 Thunderjet) and the P-51. A few lingered on until 1953 in Air National Guard service, when it was retired. France used a few P-47s during the Algerian War of Independence in the mid-1950s, while it persisted in South American air forces into the early 1970s. 15,686 P-47s were produced, making it second only to the P-51 in US service; today, about 47 survive with 16 currently flyable.
I have so many P-47 pictures on Flickr now, it's hard to keep track, but this is a "Jug" from the 358th Fighter Group, the famous "Orange Tails." The 358th wasn't as well known as the air-to-air units such as the 4th and 56th FGs, as they were assigned to the 9th Air Force; as such, their primary job was attacking ground targets and supporting troops on the ground (today known as close air support). They did their job well, though, earning three Distinguished Unit Citations for repelling Operation Bodenplatte on New Years' Day 1945, as well as supporting Patton's drive across Germany in Operation Lumberjack and in Bavaria. After war's end, they were briefly deactivated, then reactivated as the 122nd FG (Indiana National Guard). Today, it's the 122nd Fighter Wing, and they're back in the CAS business, flying A-10s from Fort Wayne International Airport.
Dad built "Dream Girl" for the father of a friend of his, as he had flown P-47s with the 358th during World War II. It's equipped for ground support with two 500-pound general purpose bombs. The "CP" code stood for the 367th Fighter Squadron.

2024-09-29 A dull and foggy morning in the name of Shapes/Patterns.
Wearing my 2015, 170cm tall shape and standing next to different avatars of various heights and sizes.
Well, that it for tonight. I got the rough shape cut out for my paddle. I've still got a lot of work left on cutting out the loom to the correct width.
When cutting out the long angle for the paddle blades I screwed up because I made the cut too close to the line and the blade bent while cutting. Not sure what to do about that but if it looks bad I'll just make the blades narrower. At the moment it's 100mm wide and that is as wide my hand is when I form the letter C. From what I've read, the width doesn't matter that much. It's all about what feels right for your type of paddling technique (and that you can grip the end comfortably).
To finish this I really need a better plane tool. The one I borrowed from Nick was really dull and crap. I'll probably end up buying a Stanley no 9-1/2.
The design of the paddle is taken from www.carvegp.com/ and there is a great video where they explain and show the whole build.
Good frames are all around you; you just need to look. And personally, I LOVE beautiful shapes, and if you look around, they are everywhere, and with a LOT of greenery around.

Not just fit and finish, Pango make a second blower tube and hide it if not use. We make the two tubes on different of the bouncer so that could fit the power location. Looking down the road you will find you need a second inflation tube. We want to make sure clients could use the bouncer convenient.
Stronger Baffles
Baffles that are secured by a 840 denier material that provides the MAXIMUM strength of the internal baffling of every inflatables. This material upgrade is unmatched by anyone else in the industry. This material is key to the overall durability of the products we sell.
D Ring Expose
Take a close look at the construction of the "d" rings in the products we sell. A tether system is only as strong as its weakest link. Tether points on the inflatable are extremely durable. The "d" ring tethering System have been laboratory-tested and certified by Professional Engineers for use on all giant slides and all other types of inflatables.
Vinyl（PVCTarpaulin） Expose
At Pango Inflatable, the only products we sell are constructed from the finest coated vinyl. Unlike other vinyl producers, the Coated Vinyl are Lead-Free in addition to meeting the EN71 test by SGS. Lead-Free vinyl are a standard that has been that way since day one. Exposure to lead is dangerous to children. The products Pango Inflatable sell are safe from the effects of lead. As for durability, the materials are a weft inserted substrate, which makes any possible rips virtually impossible.
No Wax Surfaces
We provide removable sliding surfaces for every slides we made, While other only provide the normal vinyl, Inflatable vinyl is not naturally slippery, therefore, waxing has become a normal preparation for getting a slide ready for use. The removable sliding surface found the on the products we sell is a high polished urethane coating, which in turn reduces the need to wax.
Zipper with Flaps
Unlike others, Pango Inflatable sells products that are easy to use. For example, the deflation zipper utilizes a Velcro flap that covers the zipper, thus, less air is lost and zippers are not exposed to abrasion or mischief.
Blower Tube Strap
While most manufacturers tie their blower inflation tubes to the blower system, however, the products Pango Inflatable sells, utilizes a universal sleeve with a cinching Velcro strap. One- handed operation keeps the tube securely attached to the blower system.
Liquid Laminator
DWe do the Digital Printing in our factory, unlike most factory here in China, they do the printing outside and could not control the delivery time and the quality. igitally printed graphics are one thing, keeping those beautiful images durable as well scratch and fade resistant is quite another. Every digital image used within an inflatable sold by Pango Inflatable is clear-coated with a special liquid laminate that is vulcanized to the vinyl surface.
Finger-Safe Netting
Most bouncer manufacturers use 1" or 2" netting. A child bouncing can easily catch their fingers in that size of netting, thus serious injuries can happen. Only the Pango Inflatable could provide netting that even a small child's finger cannot penetrate. Yet, the netting is still transparent enough to allow for easy viewing.
Removable Covers
Virtually every area that your customers step, slide or climb upon is on a replaceable & easily removable vinyl cover. From climbing stairs, to entrance tunnel sleeves to sliding surfaces, Pango Inflatable only sells products that are designed for high-volume traffic.
Safety Door on Bouncers
Worried about children possibly falling out of a bouncer? Don't be. We got 3 points of reinforcement on the entrance of the bouncer which make the entrance very strong. Also we add the step outside the entrance following the AU and USA standards of jumping castle.
On-Staff Engineering and Designing
We do reinforce stitching at the fixion of D-ring. Four stitching line will share the tension of the bouncer. This made the D-ring last much longer and stronger. Other factory use other design of the fixion, but will not good for the tension sharing. Could find the differnce in the attached photos.
Cushion Designs
We do cushion between the wall and the base. When the kids bounce on the bouncer this parts bear most of the pressure, so this new design will make this parts much more strong and safety, while other factory only stitch to the base.

For some reason I really struggled with this week's challenge! Since I'm in Easter card making "mode" I finally decided to go with an Easter basket (I know, not exactly very original!).
I used a Cricut machine (Doodlecharms cartridge) to die cut the basket and eggs. Using a flower from the CL228 Asian Elements set and nail jewels I "decorated" the eggs. The bunny was cut from F2894 Bunny Basket and the sentiment is Studio g. The lace "trim" is a MS punch.
TFL!
