@Borderless_exp There are many paths to finding self. Life a righteous life. Region impacts food choices, most are non vegetarian unlike the popular belief that all are.
@JIX5A@drshamamohd It should work both ways. The issue is not with Muslims, they will condemn such acts but with wokes and leftists are a different breed
Every time a German Messerschmitt pilot wanted to escape a Spitfire on his tail, he did the same thing.
He pushed the nose down.
In a dive, the German engine kept running — it used fuel injection. The British Spitfire's engine cut out. For one and a half seconds the Merlin went dead, the aircraft shuddered, and by the time it caught again the German was gone. Worse: if a German was behind a British pilot and the British pilot dove to escape, the German could follow and keep shooting while the British engine was silent.
Pilots were dying because of a carburetor.
The engineers at Farnborough knew about the problem. They were working on a long-term solution — a redesigned carburetor that would take years to perfect and manufacture.
A woman named Beatrice Shilling fixed it with a washer.
She was born in Hampshire in 1909 and was the kind of child who spent her pocket money on Meccano sets and tools. At fourteen she bought her first motorbike. Her mother, with the inspired instinct of someone who understood what her daughter actually was, found the Women's Engineering Society and arranged an apprenticeship at an electrical firm.
She went to Manchester University — one of the first two women ever to study engineering there — graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, stayed another year for a master's in mechanical engineering, and in 1936 joined the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough as a scientific officer.
By the late 1930s she was one of the best carburetor engineers in Britain. She was also one of only three women to hold the British Motorcycle Racing Club's Gold Star — awarded for lapping the Brooklands racing circuit at over 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle.
She had reportedly told her future husband, an engineer named George Naylor, that she wouldn't marry him until he earned his own Brooklands Gold Star first.
He earned it. They married in 1938.
The problem with the Merlin was specific and lethal. The SU carburetor used a float chamber to regulate fuel flow. Under negative g-forces — the forces experienced in a sudden dive — the fuel flooded to the top of the float chamber and starved the engine for 1.5 seconds. Just enough time for a German pilot to turn the tables entirely.
The RAF had known about this since the Battle of France. The formal solution — a redesigned pressure carburetor — was in development but wouldn't be ready for years.
Shilling was thirty-one years old, working in carburetor research, and she designed a fix in weeks.
A brass thimble with a precisely calibrated hole in the center — later simplified to a flat washer — fitted inline in the fuel line just before the carburetor. It restricted maximum fuel flow to just enough to prevent flooding without cutting off power. The key breakthrough: it could be fitted without taking the aircraft out of service. No downtime. No factory return.
The old guard at the RAE looked at it and called it a plumbing fix. They called her a plumber. The first batch of 5,000 units was made by a Birmingham firm that normally manufactured plumbing fixtures, which they found embarrassing.
The RAF pilots who flew Spitfires with Messerschmitts on their tails called it something else.
They called it Miss Shilling's Orifice. With deep affection.
By March 1941 she had organized a small team and was personally touring RAF fighter stations across England — traveling between bases on her old racing motorcycle — fitting the device to every Merlin engine they could reach. Squadron leaders all over the country were demanding installations. The word spread faster than the official channels could keep up with.
The Germans noticed. They couldn't explain why British fighter pilots had suddenly started following them into dives. They were baffled by the new aggression. They didn't know about the washer.
The restrictor remained in use until 1943, when the full pressure carburetor finally arrived. It had kept British pilots alive for two years in the middle of the war they couldn't afford to lose.
After the war she worked on the Blue Streak missile. She studied what wet runways do to braking distances. She helped design a bobsled for the RAF Olympic team. In 1967 she solved overheating problems on an Eagle Mk1 Formula 1 car.
She never received a top promotion at the RAE. Such positions, she was told, were for men.
She received an OBE in 1949. The citation said "services to aviation." It did not mention the washer.
She retired from the RAE in 1969. She kept racing motorcycles and sports cars. She modified and tuned both in her home workshop until she couldn't anymore.
She died on November 18, 1990. She was 81.
The Battle of Britain is one of the most documented events in British military history. Hundreds of books. Dozens of films. Memoirs by the pilots who flew in it. Almost none of them mention the carburetor problem. Almost none of them mention her.
The pilots who benefited most never knew her name. They just knew that when they pushed the nose down, the engine kept running.
‼️🚨🆘 Le Danemark veut expulser Ghazaleh, une jeune Iranienne de 24 ans, qui risque d’être condamnée à mort dès son retour en Iran en raison de son militantisme.
L’Europe accueille des milliers d’islamistes, mais veut renvoyer des femmes iraniennes qui risquent leur vie en retournant dans leur pays ?!
Si un élu voit ce message, s’il vous plaît, contactez vos homologues danois pour leur demander d’intervenir afin de sauver Ghazaleh. Sa vie est en jeu. Nous ne pouvons pas rester silencieux face à une telle situation !

@RushilM_ I avoid Go and prefer higher rated cabs, the difference isn't much but the experience is. Go is mostly poorly maintained and uncomfortable but there are exceptions
@Hamp_Allen True, there is no division here in India. You always manage to attract the bad apple, look at the recent migration from Arab lands. U get the radicals
@ARFAKHANUMS We are not really so caste focused as you Muslims are.More Quresh and Syed here than Arabia whn all are mostly the poor converted. Thin short Pathans who an Afghan will faint on seeing. Look inside 1st. The mosques are sect based, caste based
@MeerraChopra This is triple engine Sarkar. Illegal parking,bad roads,cement plants, dirty BMC vats, poor road surface, poorly trained traffic police, missing construction schedule. Thus is reality of every big city in India, Cong ruled Bangalore is probably the worst despite great weather
@thomsonKL7 What was the minority population % in Pak whn Jinnah said this and what is it now? How many minorities in any Pak sports team or delegation? The nation that refused to bury their only brilliant mind as he was the wrong sect in f Muslim is never an example
@Tejashyy The woman can move to Palestine and work there, she is in bubble here. She should feel the Palestine life. The chap is wearing nose ring like some temperamental bulls put.
BEFORE SLEEPING... KNOW THIS...
He was so poor that he couldn't afford to learn the art he loved. So every evening, he secretly watched rehearsals from a distance... and after everyone left, he practised alone, repeating every dialogue, every movement, and every musical note from memory.
His name is Simanchal Patra from Odisha. As a young boy, he herded goats just to earn one meal a day. Yet he went on to master the rare Prahlada Nataka, performing for up to 24 hours at a stretch and training hundreds of artists. To keep the dying art alive, he even sacrificed his ancestral property.
This year, at the age of 98, Simanchal Patra walked into Rashtrapati Bhavan to receive the Padma Shri.
@Ameer_wael07 This is what decades of bad leadership has done. Why doesnt Egypt allow you in? Saudi, Kuwait.... all need foreign workers why not Arabic speaking Palestinian?
