Discovery Channel is a great resource that most families enjoyed before until now~ but the cable service is a high cost of learning path. If it can place in school/ institute programs ( project by project's story) that the students & families are available to learn as assignments or entertainment activities to share thoughts or getting knowledges that will be great ~ ❤ thank you for sharing this video~

@ConradNeill 11 месяцев назад

They kinda remind me of some of the Open University/educational programming that used to be shown on BBC2 at 3am. I really enjoyed watching that stuff, even though I was probably too young to be up that that time. Of course, B1M content is much more engaging, and the presenter isn't some tweed-wearing professor type, with an unkempt beard and milk-bottle glasses set against a beige background. I also get hints of another BBC show, Tomorrows World. I guess what I'm getting at is that it's wonderfully produced, broadcast-quality content that pays tribute to the high standard of factual/educational programming set by the BBC (in that era, at least), and expands upon it in a creative and ultimately more engaging way.

@JSieberer77 11 месяцев назад

Austria has a rich history of tunneling. Most tunnels are built either with the New or the Old Austrian Tunneling Technique. Also quite hilarious is the valley Mölltal. It was quite big in mining, when the deposits depleted they all became tunnelers. Basically a region, where every ablebodied man works in tunneling and they are highly skilled. Practically all world records in tunneling (e.g., most meters in a day with TBM) are held by them. A friend has been tunnel project manager all around the world and he said Mölltaler are everywhere. That goes so far that they call it the valley without men, since they are always digging tunnels around the world.

As a kid I worked on the Victoria line tunneling in London as a 'pony boy'. I had to push wagons filled with soil and and stone from the tunnel face back to the vertical tunnel entrance shaft. There the wagon would be picked up by a crane and lifted to the surface to be emptied and lowered back to the bottom of the shaft. It's amazing to see how tunneling technology has progressed during my lifetime!

Why is it called Austria if it is on the northern hemisphere?

@richard--s 11 месяцев назад

@@r.guerreiro140 australis would mean that it's from the southern hemisphere. The name "Austria" came from the old Ostarichi, meaning the eastern kingdom, it was a monarchy back then. It was bigger than it's now and is to the east of Bavaria for example. The word "Austria" is some sort of a latin form of the old name Ostarichi. In German the name today is "Österreich". The name came from "Ostarichi" of course. Languages are not perfect. There are words that mean different things but sound similar. I compare it to searching for different positions on a cylinder. When you move far enough away from one point A on the cylinder, you get close to this exact point A, but from the other side ;-)
