Torah shield (Torah breastplate) is a shield that in a synagogue is suspended by chains over the front of the Torah. It is usually ornately decorated with embossing to depict symbolic motifs, such as the two columns reminescent of the columns of the Temple of Jerusalem, the Tablet of the Ten Commandments or the Lion of Judah...

The water represents a drainage from one lake to another. Very many of the lakes in Manitoba are connected together by, rivers or streams.
These can be used for wilderness canoe trips lasting from several days to weeks. However, sometimes one has to portage canoe and equipment to get from one group of lakes to another. Under these circumstances it pays to travel light.
B&O signal engineer Frank Patenall was on to something when he first implemented the color position light signal back in the early 1920's.
Viewed as an alternative to a semaphore signal, the color position light signal (CPL) used both color lights and position relative to a semaphore blade, to convey an aspect.
104 years later the concept still works.
L452 rolls east at a location known as Shields, Indiana and passes through a set of Mr. Patenall's CPL signals. Though one red light is out the signal still can convey it's aspect, a part of it's grand design.
This section of the B&O received APB (absolute permissive block) signaling in late 1937. After 87 years of service, the signal system is being replaced. The code line, relays and signals will be replaced by solid state electronics and satellite communication, concepts unheard of at one time.

Rhino females’ home ranges vary between 6-20 km2 and usually overlap several males’ territories. White rhino cows are rarely solitary. They associate typically in pairs, usually a female with her latest calf. A juvenile stays with the mother for around three years. White rhinos have a gestation period of approximately 16 months. Records of captive breeding in zoos vary between 480 and 548 days gestation. Females usually give birth for the first time at the age of 6.5-7 years. The interval between calving is 3-4 years.
"Strobilanthes dyeriana (Persian shield) is a tropical plant native to Myanmar. It is grown for its dark green foliage with bright, metallic-purple stripes radiating outward from the central leaf vein. In proper conditions, it will also produce pale purple flowers. Persian Shield grows best outdoors in USDA zones 9 and 10, although it can survive in other zones as a houseplant given sufficient temperature, soil moisture and humidity. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit."
Renaissance Town Hall in Bardejov is a one-storey building of a block character, located on a regular rectangular plan view with a longer side in the north-south direction. It is characterized by high side shields of saddle tile roof and Renaissance oriel window on its east side, accessing the second floor. On the shield of the northern façade there are three carved windows and a town sign. The gable of the southern façade is completed by four windows, a clock and painted coats of arms of the town and Kingdom of Hungary. At the top of the southern gable stands the figure of the legendary knight Roland with a halberd (the work of master Ján of Prešov dated around 1509), a symbolic protector of town privileges. The original stone statue was replaced in 1641 by a wooden one covered with copper sheet. The current statue is a copy and is made entirely of copper sheet. The windows on all facades have the same shapes. Both roof gables are complemented by groups of statues and crockets – the southern gable: a lion, a man with beard, a cat, a monkey, a cloth merchant, the northern gable: a demon, a man with an hourglass, a dragon, a king, a stonemason and a man with a stick. As a monument of supraregional importance, the town hall, together with other monuments of the historic centre in Bardejov, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.

A shame that I missed the point of focus ...
So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.
This Shield Bug was on my Garlic. It would pause occasionally and let me take a few photos.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.

About as big as a finger nail on your little finger. The ones I see here at home are green and found on Hawthorn trees. This was on some grasses trying to hide!!.

I managed to acquire this cutie for free with some cut dahlias, and then photograph it before I gave it the run of my garden :-)
