A Brill trolley is a historic,, electric streetcar manufactured by the J.G. Brill Company of Philadelphia, which dominated the North American market in the early 20th century. Known for their "Semi-Convertible" design and durable, efficient performance, these vehicles served as primary public transit in many cities until the 1950s, often running on 650-volt DC overhead lines.
The trolleybus was phased out in the UK between the 1950s and 1970s and -- despite occasional proposals and small demonstrations -- has not been reintroduced because modern factors removed its historical advantages and favoured more flexible, cheaper or higher-performance technologies.
Because brill are so partial to eating prawns and crabs, their flesh is luscious and white, sweet, firm and tender, if somewhat flakier than turbot. The skin is less palatable due to its rather rough, bitter texture, but can be delicious when served as a crisp.
Developing a unique reverse jump technique that became known as the 'Brill Bend,' Debbie would approach the bar directly from the side and fling herself backwards up and over, landing on her back.

What is the highest a human has ever jumped?
Javier Sotomayor (Cuba) is the world record holder with a jump of 2.45 m ( 8 ft 1⁄4 in) set in 1993 – the longest-standing record in the history of the men's high jump. Yaroslava Mahuchikh (Ukraine) is the women's world record holder with a jump of 2.10 m ( 6 ft 101⁄2 in) set in 2024.
Four key jumping techniques, especially in track and field, include the Hitch-Kick, Hang, and Sail for the flight phase in long jump, while the Fosbury Flop is a major high jump technique, each involving unique arm and leg movements to maximize distance or height after takeoff.
What is the most unhealthy fish to eat in the world?
The unhealthiest fish to eat are typically large, predatory species high in mercury like Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, Tilefish (from the Gulf of Mexico), and Marlin, which are harmful to developing brains and nervous systems, especially for pregnant women, children, and the elderly, while others like Farmed Tilapia or imported Catfish raise concerns about contaminants and antibiotics, and some popular options like certain Tuna and Chilean Sea Bass also have high mercury or sustainability issues.
It's a cheaper alternative to turbot and Dover sole in price but loses no ground on quality or taste. In season between May and December, it's between the months of June and August where this fish is truly at it's best. Portion sizes may vary slightly according to original fish size, but are generally around 200g.
Two wires, and two trolley poles, are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return path, needing only one wire and one pole (or pantograph). They are also distinct from other kinds of electric buses, which usually rely on batteries.
The shelter position is dictated by a range of factors including footway width, pedestrian footfall, presence of underground services, street furniture, trees and the need to ensure that the stop is accessible to all customers.
Largest networks: Beijing is the city with the largest fleet worldwide (1,044 trolleybuses in operation). There are 31 trol- leybus routes with a total length of 465km.
The Oxford Dictionary defines its use as "often derogatory", but after complaints to the Australian Advertising Standards Board about five advertisements using the term "poms", the board ruled in 2006 that these words are inoffensive, in part because they are "largely used in playful or affectionate terms".
Brill has a medium flavour which is slightly sweeter than the flavour of Turbot. It is advisable to avoid eating the skin of a Brill due to its rough, bitter texture. Alternative species with a similar texture and taste to use instead of Brill would be Turbot. Brill tend to be a lower priced alternative to Turbot.
as unclean (verse 27). He tells us that salt- and freshwater fish with fins and scales may be eaten (verses 9-12), but water creatures without those characteristics (catfish, lobsters, oysters, shrimp, crabs, clams, mussels, squid, frogs, octopi, etc.) should not be eaten.
What is the dirtiest fish you can eat in the world?
Another contender for the 'dirtiest' title is Tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico—a species notorious for its high toxicity levels due to environmental contaminants. Tilefish should definitely be avoided if you're looking out for your health.
Oxer - A type of jump that consist of two sets of standards that are all jumped in one effort in order to test the horse's ability to jump both high and wide. The spread of an oxer may not exceed its height. Combination - A group of two or more jumps in a row with a very short distance between them.
Muscles (or other actuators in non-living systems) do physical work, adding kinetic energy to the jumper's body over the course of a jump's propulsive phase. This results in a kinetic energy at launch that is proportional to the square of the jumper's speed.
A very common jumping mistake is losing your position over the jump. The act of getting left behind punishes the horse for jumping. After getting banged in the mouth repeatedly, most horses refuse in protest.
