	CVO Website - Shield Volcanoes
		Belknap in central Oregon is the youngest such shield volcano in the Cascades and has lava flows as young as 1400 years.
		Several large basaltic shield volcanoes along the range have steep-sided summit cones, such as Three-Fingered Jack, Mount Washington and North Sister, Mount Bachelor, Diamond Peak, Mount Bailey, and Mount Thielsen, and Mount McLoughlin.
		Hawaiian and other shield volcanoes characteristically have a broad summit, indented with a caldera, a term commonly used for a large depression of volcanic origin.

	Canadian Shield - MSN Encarta
		The shield extends in a great semicircle around Hudson Bay, reaching from the Arctic coast north of Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories to northern Québec and Labrador.
		In the late 19th century, the rockiness of the shield represented a major obstacle to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Canada’s first transcontinental railway.
		Caribou migrate to the arctic in the summer to feed on the lush tundra plants and migrate southward in the winter to the boreal forest.

	Shield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oldest form of shield was a protection used to block attacks by hand weapons and missiles.
		Many surviving examples of metal shields are generally felt to be ceremonial rather than practical, for example the Yetholm-type shields of the bronze age or the iron age Battersea shield.
		Shields for protection from armed attack are still used by many police forces around the world.

	Shield - Cunnan
		A shield could have been made of a sort of plywood, that is, of a series of laminated strips made of thin wood thin strips would be layered together and glued with the wood-grain of each layer perpendicular to the layers above and below, adding strength.
		The shield would have been edged in either rawhide (early period shields) or iron (mid- to late period shields), or a mixture of the two, adding a stiffening factor to the shield's strength and providing protection for the edges of the wood-grain, thus preventing splitting.
		Edging of shields (where appropriate) is generally done in leather or rawhide as metal burrs under the impact of the steel weapons producing an edge that may cut exposed skin if it hits an opponent (obviously not a concern for real warfare).

	Channel 4 - Weapons that made Britain - Shield
		In Britain, shields were certainly in regular use by the Iron Age (751 BC–AD 42), and their first co-ordinated and highly disciplined use by an army would have occurred during the Roman invasion of AD 43.
		In training, the Roman infantry used wicker shields that were twice as heavy as regulation issue, which prepared the soldiers for the tiring prolonged use of shields in battle.
		The Saxon shield wall that was developed subsequently involved rows of infantry interlocking their shields to create an instant barrier that, with rows in depth, could easily obstruct a cavalry charge.

		Eruptions at shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent, otherwise they are characterized by low-explosivity fountaining that forms cinder cones and spatter cones at the vent, however, 90% of the volcano is lava rather than pyroclastic material.
		Shield volcanoes are the result of high magma supply rates; the lava is hot and little-changed since the time it was generated.
		Shield volcanoes are the common product of hotspot volcanism but they can also be found along subduction-related volcanic arcs or all by themselves.

		Eleven state rape shield laws have what is called a "catch-all" exception, which permits a judge to allow the introduction of any evidence, even that normally barred by a rape shield law, if it is necessary to introduce that evidence to protect the constitutional rights of the accused.
		Rape shield laws guard against the introduction of evidence that is irrelevant to the question of the defendant's guilt or innocence, but which has the potential to prejudice the jury against the victim.
		Rape shield laws help to ensure that rape victims are treated with fairness, dignity and respect during a criminal trial by ensuring that the victim will not be subject to a public airing of his or her sexual reputation, past conduct, and other irrelevant information.

		The dimensions and curvature of Legio VI's shield, or scutum, seen at left, are copied closely from the one known example of a rectangular Roman scutum, uncovered at Dura Europus and dating from the mid-third century AD.
		Shields from other legions are acceptable for use, provided they are of similar dimensions (41”x 35”), and are repainted with the Legio VI logo.
		The main body of our shield is constructed of plywood, as were the originals (yes, the Romans had plywood-- thin layers of wood glued together with grains at right angles for added strength).

	BUILDING BIG: Databank: Thames Tunnel

		The shield was pushed forward by hydraulic jacks, and the whole tedious process was repeated.
		Finally, 18 years after construction began, Brunel's tunnel shield emerged on the other side of the Thames, proving for the first time that it is possible to carve a tunnel underwater.

	Deflector shield - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		The shield itself behaved in a manner similar to that of a thermally conductive material—energy applied was quickly diffused and re-radiated back into the environment, but the shield itself could also absorb some of the energy.
		The strength of a deflector shield was a factor depending on how close the shield was to the projector, the efficiency of the projector, the power applied, and the surface area of the shield.
		Deflector shields were first developed during the early years of space exploration, designed to absorb heat and radiation encountered in space and within a planetary atmosphere.

	Shield Pattern
		The point of the Shield pattern is that you write something in one place, and you are permitted to change your mind about the implementation without changing the reference.
		In this sense, a base class is a shield for a derived class, and an interface is a shield for a anything that implements it.
		I personally am not sure that "shield" is a good choice of term, and think it focuses to much on defensive programming...which isn't to say such focus is bad, simply that it doesn't convey what the pattern offers, and instead focuses on what it avoids.

		1782 was a landmark year for William Shield, witnessing his appointment as ‘house’ composer to Covent Garden, the première of Rosina, his most enduring operatic success, and the publication of the Op.3 string quartets — arguably the finest written by a native English composer during the eighteenth century.
		Shield himself was a seconded member (due to Borghi’s illness) for the Professional Concert season of 1789, playing viola in Haydn’s Op.54 quartets (received in manuscript from the composer himself) as well as new quartets and concertantes by Pleyel.
		Shield’s goal in the quartets seems primarily one of enrichment, of gaining the most from a single or small number of ideas.

		An important advantage of the "hands-on" shielding approach is that changes in a circuit layout, shield configuration, power levels and component orientation are easily evaluated.
