It made it harder to see than ever, and you got soap in your eyes. Our mums were told to rub soap on the inside of the window, to prevent this. The moment you put it on, the window misted up, blinding you. The covering over my face, the cloudy Perspex in front of my eyes, and the overpowering smell of rubber, made me feel slightly panicky, though I still laughed each time I breathed out, and the edges of the mask blew a gentle raspberry against my cheeks. It didn't seem possible that enough air was coming through the filter. One child wrote: "Although I could breathe in it. The gas-like odour of rubber and disinfectant made many people feel sick. Gas masks were neither easy nor comfortable to wear. (7) A family preparing for a gas attack (1939) John Lewis, the department store, reminded staff that "those who come without their gas mask must not be surprised if they are dismissed as unsuitable in time of war". Entry was occasionally refused to restaurants, or places of entertainment, to patrons who were without their survival kit. Teachers were instructed to send children back home to fetch their masks if they had forgotten them. Government advertisements appeared in newspapers pleading with people to carry their gas masks with them at all times. The government published posters that said: "Hitler will send no warning - so always carry your gas mask". However, legislation was never passed to make it illegal. The government threatened to punish people for not carrying gas masks. People were encouraged to wear gas-masks for 15 minutes a day to get used to the experience. People reacted in the most uncivilised way because they were so certain that poison gas would be used by the Germans and there were not enough gas masks issued on that first delivery. Elsie was right about the gas masks, and several weeks later there was a mad panic for these frightful looking things at local school rooms, where they were being distributed. Fry, the local Councillor and her next-door neighbour, and he had told her in confidence that the first consignment of gas masks due to be delivered the following week would be far from adequate and it was a question of distribution. Joyce Storey lived in Bristol: "Elsie remarked that she had spoken to Mr. (4) Neville Chamberlain went on to radio to explain the measures the government was taking: "How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing." (5) Mickey Mouse gas mask (1939) People carried their gas masks in cardboard cases for many months. There were also gas helmets for babies into which mothers would have to pump air with a bellows. (3)Īdult gas masks were black whereas children had 'Micky Mouse' masks with red rubber pieces and bright eye piece rims. However, it was at late as May 2014 that the Health and Safety Executive issued a warning to schools that they should not let children touch or try on gas masks as they contained asbestos. Tests showed that asbestos fibres can also be inhaled by wearing the masks. The gas masks were produced by a company in Blackburn and after the war factory workers making the masks started showing abnormally high numbers of deaths from cancer. (2) A child tries on a gas mask in school (1939) While the masks were effective in terms of being able to filter out poisonous gases like mustard gas, phosgene or chlorine gas, the filters were in fact very dangerous to humans as it was later discovered that exposure to asbestos could causes asbestosis, pleuritis, and lung cancer, as well as a number of other lethal and incurable diseases. Gas masks contained chrysotile (white asbestos) or crocidolite (blue asbestos) in their filters. ![]() Over 38 million gas masks were distributed to regional centres. It was therefore decided to issue a gas masks to everyone living in Britain. Hand bells will tell you when there is no longer any danger from poison gas." (1) If you hear hand rattles do not leave your shelter until the poison gas has been cleared away. ![]() The government issued a warning on 3rd September, 1939, that people must go to their nearest air raid shelter during bombing attacks: "If poison gas has been used, you will be warned by means of hand rattles. The British government believed that some form of poison gas would be used on the civilian population during the war. You do that when cooking with chunks of meat or with bones when making broth. Second, if you simmer everything longer until the broth is rich and tasty, the chicken and mushrooms will be overcooked.ĭo you need to brown the chicken before adding to the broth? No. If you add everything at the same time, two things can happen.įirst, if you simmer the ingredients just long enough to cook the chicken through, the broth will not be sufficiently flavored. That means simmering them in the broth before you add the chicken and mushrooms. ![]() To make the tastiest tom yum gai, allow enough time for the herbs and spices to impart their flavor. You can have the freshest and reddest tomatoes, and you can have the richest chicken broth made by simmering free range chickens but, without the spice base, the soup will still taste flat. If you do cheat and use a flavor cube or pre-made broth, make sure it's simply meat broth and not flavored with vegetables as well.As with most Thai dishes, the secret is in the spice base. Pork or Chicken broth can be made by simply boiling pieces of pork or chicken in water. If serving this to guests who are unfamiliar with Thai food, you may want to let them know what to eat and what not to eat, or fish out the herbs before serving. Thais do not fish out the parts of this soup you don't eat before serving - they know to avoid munching on the lemongrass stalks, galangal, cilantro root and lime leaves. If cooking for a larger group you may want to double or triple this recipe. This recipe makes a small soup, enough for 2 to eat with a meal. ![]() You can use freshwater prawns for this soup if you'd prefer. If you do add the milk, add the dried roasted chilies and a bit more fish sauce and lime juice as well.Ī vegetarian Tom Yum recipe can be found here: Tom Yum Het, a clear version of tom yum made with mushrooms. It's not enough milk to make the soup creamy, just enough to make it less harsh. The only difference is the addition of milk. This recipe is for the two most common Tom Yum Goong recipes. If doing this step you’ll need to add a bit more lime juice and fish sauce as the milk tames it down a bit. If making the version with milk: Add the milk and dried chilies.Is it sour? Is it salty? If no, add a bit more, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Add lime juice, chili paste, smashed fresh chilies.Add the fish sauce and remove from heat.Cook until shrimp turn pink, about a minute. Strain the cooked mushrooms and add them to the soup as well. After you’ve boiled 4-5 minutes, add a pinch of salt and the shrimp.In a separate pan, boil the mushrooms in plain water. if you’re using fresh ingredients, 4-5 minutes should be enough. Boil for 4-5 minutes until the broth tastes herbal. Add the lime leaves, lemongrass, coriander root, galangal, shallot(s) and tomato. Boil the broth on high until it comes to a rapid boil.Then, peel out the legs + intestine underneath, but leave the tails on. This is very important, as that fat imparts a signature flavor into Tom Yum Goong. Clean the shrimp by peeling off the backs and snapping off the top part of the heads, but leave the fat on at the base of the head (the reddish brown goop).If making the version with milk: roast the dried chilies until fragrant and browned in a dry wok on medium heat (see note). If using fresh Thai straw mushrooms, slice the bottoms off and cut in 1/2 lengthwise. Smash the fresh chilies with the back of a heavy knife, or in a mortar and pestle. Peel the skin off the shallots and smash lightly. Tear the center vein off the lime leaves. Cut into 1-2″ pieces and smash with the side of a heavy knife to release flavor. Remove the outer layer of the lemongrass stalks and cut off the end. 3 small dried chilies, roasted *optional – add if adding milk.3 tablespoons milk (from a cow not a coconut).1 tablespoon lime juice (or more to taste).4 or 5 medium-sized saltwater shrimp, whole and uncleaned, the fresher the better.2 tablespoons (about 7) red medium-sized thai chilies, smashed.1/2 cup straw mushrooms, ends removed and halved.1 cup tomato (about 1 medium tomato), sliced into 6-8 pieces lengthwise.2 tablesoons shallots, whole with skin removed (1-2 shallots).1 tablespoon coriander roots, about 2 roots. ![]()
The team at Bay Audiology can guide you through this process, helping you to find your perfect fit. Assistive listening devices are different than hearing aids (or hearing instruments), they are typically installed systems that the end-user has access to while they are in the space. It also covers interoperability of assistive listening devices with hearing aids and consumer electronics. Assistive Listening refers to the act of hearing more clearly using a device or technology. While many great and effective assistive devices are available, selecting a device that best suits your hearing requirements is crucial. Overview of assistive listening systems 1 Scope This Technical Paper provides the technical and operational characteristics for wireless connectivity of hearing aids to public, home and personal audio services. If you are employed or in education, you may be entitled to help. They transmit sound directly from its source to the listener to overcome difficulties with distance, background noise or reverberation. Usually, these devices are quite customisable, allowing individuals to tailor the systems to their space and requirements. Assistive listening devices work with your hearing aids or implants help boost your hearing in everyday situations at home, work and socially. Alerting devices: Designed to alert hard-of-hearing individuals to specific sounds in their homes, such as a doorbell or alarm clock.Phone amplifying devices: They enhance the sound of a telephone ring and the conversation too. Having assistive listening devices (ALDs) on hand not only serves elderly and hard-of-hearing parishioners, but also parents with babies or young children who may have to step outside for a few moments.This means you can watch TV without turning the volume too high. TV streamers: They enable you to transfer audio from your TV or other electronic sources directly to your hearing aids. ![]()

![]() This is simply just a list of who i think is the most intimidateing villian starting from creepy to down right "please god dont let me run into this person in a dark alley!!!" kind of horrifying. Now right off the bat ( no pun intended) this list isnt an end all be all kind of list or a list of who is the best villian over all. Woaaahh AWESOME my very first blog hello batfans this is batknight 34 and this is my personal top 30 list of what i consider to be the most scary intimidateing and down right creepiest batman villians. if you,ll excuse me i think im going to be sick ( BLECH!!) ![]() 4.2 IF THEY WERE REAL : hide your kids!! especaily young blonde girls named allice jervis fixasation on lewis carrols book demands that an alice of some kind be a part of his delusion and he will stop at nothing to have alice by his side.The Penguin #1 just takes this idea to its logical conclusion, giving him a reason to use his skills to tear down Batman's world and highlighting how dangerous he really is. He can operate in broad daylight and, as infamous as he is, he can garner power while not attracting the Justice League's attention. In this sense, Penguin truly is one of Batman's most dangerous foes. Whatever the tone of the Batman story around him, Penguin remains capable of killing on a whim and escaping any real consequences. Penguin is ruthless in a realistic way, a vengeful crime lord who can shake hands and smile with politicians while sliding the knife into an innocent man's back.He relies on his ruthless wits to survive and thrive regardless of the situation. The Penguin #1 embraces the dark direction DC's been steering the character in and casts him as someone even Amanda Waller recognizes as genuinely dangerous. In 2022, The Batman cast the Penguin as one of Gotham's most effective criminals, a crimelord capable of using almost any crisis to his advantage. But what separates the Penguin from other Batman villains, even across other media, is how realistic his brand of villainy is. Most of Batman's rogues have been played for horror over the years, and The Joker and Poison Ivy's modern solo titles have illustrated what makes them so unpredictable and frightening. It quietly makes him frightening in a way other Batman villains aren't. The Penguin is just a man, but one who highlights just how much a doggedly determined person can do to change the world around them. In a world full of Killer Crocs and Jokers, it's easy to mistake the rotund little man for a laughable nonentity. The end of The Penguin #1 suggests that even Batman has always underestimated the Penguin and it's no wonder. Penguin doesn't just survive in a peaceful world, he thrives. Other stories like One Bad Day: The Penguin #1 (by John Ridley, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Cam Smith, and Rob Leigh) highlighted how Batman may have been forced to accept Penguin as one of Gotham's more reasonable devils rather than risk the pain and chaos of an uncontrolled crime-war in his city. What truly makes the Penguin so frightening is the way he can operate in the world around him while still retaining his dangerous qualities. “Oi, maybe he’ll come if we call him by name.” The second man suggested. “Come out, come out, wherever you are…” the man with lower voice practically sang the words. “Well, well, what have we here? Unmade bed…I think he’s hiding from us.” The second man, the one with the higher voice spoke. I could feel my heart beating inside of my chest so rapidly that I was afraid they might be able to hear it, but I prayed that they couldn’t. I kept as quiet as possible, my breathing barely making any sound. I gulped, terrified as they pushed my door open. “I think you’re right.” The second responded, his voice slightly higher, less intimidating, less frightening. “Something tells me we’re not alone.” One of the men spoke with a deep, low voice. I pushed myself back against the wall of the closet, hoping to god that they wouldn’t find me. My plans changed instantly, however, when I heard the sound of heavy footfalls on the stairs. I hesitated, listening carefully as I contemplated exiting the closet. For awhile, the voices subsided and I almost dared to think the men were gone. I brushed my hand through my shaggy, sandy brown hair and scooted back further into the closet, hiding behind my long winter coat. I crouched down, eyes squeezed shut, listening hard, hoping for the men to take what they wanted and leave. I fit easily, even with the clothes, as I was slender and at 5’7” fairly short for a male of my age. My heart pounding, I stepped into the closet. I slipped from the bed, pulling a sweatshirt over my shirtless body, not wanting to be hiding in solely my boxers. I took a deep breath, hoping that this would bode well for me. It struck me almost immediately that the intruders thought that they were in an empty house. My parents were out of town for the night, leaving me home by myself for the first time – at sixteen they finally trusted me in the house by myself. I woke the second the door creaked open and I could hear quiet whispers downstairs. It didn’t take me long to realize that someone was in my house. ![]() Most Instagrammers use it by posting a photo, then a quote, followed by a photo and another quote.
