    But as alluded to above, if someone is serious about blocking VPNs they will do it.

    The UK lottery seems to be quite adept at it so can you set Nord to the UK and see if you can access this site?

    https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/

    There are mixed reports on line.

    I could.

    Without using my VPN it told me to bugger off because I wasn't in the UK or Isle of Mann.

    With the VPN pointing at a UK server I got as far as the login screen. Not having a login I could go no further but I did get further than I had before.

    The bigger question is what piss poor planning had them put in place and then not used.

    But were they cables or conduits?

    Edit.

    The pipes appear to have stripes down them which means they are HDPE conduits/pipes.

    The colour of the stripe denotes the use.

     

    IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR CODING FOR HDPE PIPES

    Since HDPE pipes are suitable to such a wide range of applications, a colour coding scheme has been implemented to make it easy for professionals and technicians to accurately identify the purpose and contents of pipes. This coding system simplifies the process of handling and installing HDPE pipes, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring the overall safety and efficiency of the systems they are integrated into.

    Let’s explore the HDPE colour coding system and what each colour signifies:

    EXPLANATION OF AUSTRALIAN (IPLEX) & AMERICAN (ATKORE) HDPE PIPE COLOUR CODING

    The colour coding system for HDPE pipes typically involves coloured stripes or bands on the exterior of the pipes. These stripes indicate the type of fluid or gas the pipe is designed to carry, the pressure rating, and other essential information. Understanding this system is crucial for anyone working with HDPE pipes to ensure they are used correctly.

    COMMON COLOURS USED

    HDPE pipes in Australia can come with various coloured stripes, each serving a specific purpose. Below, we’ll discuss the most common colours used and their meanings, along with some typical applications:

    RED STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Red stripes on an HDPE pipe usually indicate that pipes are dedicated fire-extinguishing supply mains.

    Common Applications:

    Firefighting systems, fire-extinguishing supply mains, emergency water supply.

    BLUE STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Blue stripes typically signify that the HDPE pipe is intended for potable (drinkable) water. They are designed to meet strict quality standards for water distribution, which can be consumed.

    Common Applications:

    Municipal water supply, residential water distribution.

    YELLOW STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Yellow stripes indicate that the HDPE pipe is meant for gas, fuel gas or coal seam gas. These pipes have the necessary pressure ratings and safety features for carrying natural gas.

    Common Applications:

    Natural gas distribution, industrial gas lines.

    GREEN STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Green stripes on an HDPE pipe are often associated with Imperial Rural/Raw Water also known as rain water. These pipes usually run in rural areas, where rain water collection is critical.

    Common Applications:

    Rainwater harvesting.

    ORANGE STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Orange-striped HDPE pipes are typically used for electrical conduit applications.

    Common Applications:

    Underground electrical and communication lines.

    PURPLE STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Purple stripes can indicate reclaimed or recycled water pipes. These pipes are used to transport treated wastewater for non-potable purposes, such as irrigation as well as slurry lines.

    Common Applications:

    Reclaimed water systems.

    GREY STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Grey-striped HDPE pipes are often used to signify gravity sewers. These systems use a network of pipes, which rely on gravity to transport raw waste to treatment plants.

    Common Applications:

    Gravity sewage systems.

    CREAM STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    Cream stripes may be used for Sewer Rising Main. Rising mains are pipes carrying sewage from a pumping station to another discharge point, like a sewer or a sewage treatment facility.

    Common Applications:

    Pressurised sewer applications.

    WHITE STRIPES

    Meaning and Significance:

    White stripes are used for communication conduits and/or mine sites in order to reduce the heat load on above-ground transfer.

    Common Applications:

    Used to identify communication conduits and in mining to lower the heat load on transfer lines above ground.

    On the other hand the color coding doesn't appear to be universal.

    Another color scheme.

    HDPE Color Code mean
    Solid red or red stripes: electric power lines, cable, conduit and lighting cables
    Solid orange or orange stripes: telecommunications, alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit
    Solid yellow or yellow stripes: methane or propane fuel gas, petroleum, steam or gaseous materials
    Solid green or green stripes: sewers or drain lines
    Solid blue or blue stripes: potable water
    Solid purple/lavender or purple/lavender stripes: reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines
    Solid black: any application where the pipe is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time

    There will be ID, medical and death records of all people living in Gaza so i am sure at some stage a consensus on the casualty numbers will be reached. I doubt that the findings of the investigations will be that a satisfactory number of deaths was achieved. But to keep politics out of this let's look at statistics.

    Statistics are commonly found in a legal context where paid experts represent the prosecution and defense and will use the same data to argue opposite conclusions. 

    The data set i see for this research is from  26 October to 10 November, a period of 15 days which are before the land invasion but don't start at the beginning of the bombing. It isn't explained why these dates were chosen - possibly they were the best fit to the theory.

    The data is shown as the cumulative total deaths plotted against date. The problem with using cumulative data is it smooths day to day variation, the variation when you add one day's data is dwarfed by the cummullative previous days data. There are better ways of looking for day to day variation than doing a cumulative chart that will minimise the variance. I can show the point:

    If you drink 8 pints of beer a day for 10 days on the 10th day the cumulative total will be 80 pints and the average per day is 8 pints. If you then drink 16 pints on day 11 the cumulative total is 96 pints but the average number of pints per day is 8.73 pints an increase of only 9% (well within the 15% margin the report author uses to illustrate the lack of variance in the data).

    The Health Ministry said 107 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours. That brings the total number of fatalities to 29,092 since the start of the war.

    The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its records, but says around two-thirds of those killed were women and children. More than 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, overwhelming the territory’s hospitals, less than half of which are even partially functioning.

    The Health Ministry is part of the Hamas-run government in Gaza but maintains detailed records of casualties. Its figures from previous wars in Gaza have largely matched those of U.N. agencies, independent experts and even Israel’s own tallies.
