seems legit
The faces were created using molds, and at least ten face molds may have been used.[33] Clay was then added after assembly to provide individual facial features to make each figure appear different.[49] It is believed that the warriors' legs were made in much the same way that terracotta drainage pipes were manufactured at the time. This would classify the process as assembly line production, with specific parts manufactured and assembled after being fired, as opposed to crafting one solid piece and subsequently firing it. In those times of tight imperial control, each workshop was required to inscribe its name on items produced to ensure quality control. This has aided modern historians in verifying which workshops were commandeered to make tiles and other mundane items for the terracotta army.
FIRE chiefs have banned much-loved children’s TV character Fireman Sam — for being a man.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue service has axed the 30-year-old favourite from promo material saying he is too male [and too white] and puts off women from joining up. [All companies should just remove all males from their employment in order to hire females....]
It follows complaints he was not inclusive.
He will be replaced by in-house creations, the fire extinguisher-shaped Freddy, Filbert and Penelope.
But baffled residents said it was a ridiculous decision, comparing the characters to coloured frogs and giant male contraceptives.
Graphic designer Joe Carter, 44, from Lincoln, said: “Fireman Sam works for the fire service and is called Sam. What else do they need to include?
“You wonder if our fire chiefs are operating in the real world.”
Fireman Sam has been a fixture of children’s TV since being created in the 1980s by two London firefighters.
