A tunnel is an underground passageway. The definition of what constitutes a tunnel is not universally agreed upon. However, in general tunnels are at least twice as long as they are wide. In addition, they should be completely enclosed on all sides, save for the openings at each end. Some civic planners define a tunnel as 0.1&_160; miles (0.16&_160; km) in length or longer, while anything shorter than this should be called an underpass or a chute. For example, the underpass beneath Yahata Station in Kitakyushu, Japan is only 0.08&_160;miles (0.13&_160;km) long and therefore should not be considered a tunnel. A tunnel may be for pedestrians or cyclists, for general road traffic, for motor vehicles only, for rail traffic, or for a canal. Some are aqueducts, constructed purely for carrying water — for consumption, for hydroelectric purposes or as sewers — while others carry other services such as telecommunications cables. There are even tunnels designed as wildlife crossings for European badgers and other endangered species. Some secret tunnels have also been made as a method of entrance or escape from an area, such as the Cu Chi Tunnels or the tunnels connecting the Gaza Strip to Egypt. Some tunnels are not for transport at all but are fortifications, for example Mittelwerk and Cheyenne Mountain. In the United Kingdom a pedestrian tunnel or other underpass beneath a road is called a subway. This term was used in the past in the United States, but now refers to underground rapid transit systems. The central part of a rapid transit network is usually built in tunnels. To allow non-level crossings, some lines run in deeper tunnels than others. Rail stations with much traffic usually provide pedestrian tunnels from one platform to another, though others use bridges.

7. Truth About Heavy Industry

The most sensitive part of the hand is the wrist because sensitive nerves and blood vessels pass through a very narrow tunnel, close to the surface of the skin and the bones.

If not dealt with soon this sustained damage can easily lead to Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, and this can often result in long term problems or even permanent damage being caused which can produce almost constant pain, restrict movement, and even desensitize the hands and f...

17. Why Forest City Photo Albums?
October 09, 2009
You may be thinking, "There must be a story behind the Forest City portion of the company's name, Forest City Photo Albums (forestcityphotoalbums.com)." If you thought that, you're right.
