Post-1945, football was still reeling from the effects of the Second World War. For many countries, they were still in a rebuilding phase.
After the end of the fighting, one nation emerged as clear world beaters; Hungary. They were essentially an army team they were orchestrated by the 'Galloping Major', Ferenc Puskas. He was backed by able deputies in Zoltán Czibor, József Bozsik, Nándor Hidegkuti and Sándor Kocsis.
Many of the squad were chosen from the top Hungarian side at the time, Honved. From those players just mentioned, only Hidegkuti played elsewhere.
After WWII Hungary was under the grip of communism lead by the Soviet Union. Living in a police state, the national football team soon became a release for many in the country. They were coached by Gusztáv Sebes, a visionary who changed the way football was played.
For most of the twentieth century, football had been played by teams adopting a 'W' formation. Sebes brought in a formation we now know as 4-2-4. He believed in a socialist style in that every player had equal responsibility and should be able to play in any position. Fast forward to 1974 and the Dutch Total Football wasn't as revolutionary as you thought.
Puskas was the talisman. Probably the best player in the world at the time, and despite his slightly podgy build, was capable of bringing the best out of his teammates. He also possessed a powerful left-foot shot. Alongside him was Kocsis. Top scorer in European leagues in 1952 and 1954, he was known as 'Golden Head' for his fierce heading ability, but he was also skilled on the deck.
One tactic which undid the English was the use of Hidegkuti. Teams generally played with one up front and two on either side. But at Wembley, Hidegkuti dropped deeper into a sort of 'number 10' or 'false nine' position, giving opposition defences the problem of whether to move out to mark him, or leave him unmarked The space he created was then occupied either by Puskas or players like Czibor.
One other important aspect of their play was the link between Puskas at inside-left and Bozsik at right-half. The two were friends since childhood and had an almost telepathic understanding, with Bozsik's diagonal passes from right midfield finding Puskas's runs.
Formations back then were still pretty rigid, so the changes Sebes brought in took time for opposing coaches to come to terms with.
West Germany were complete unknowns. Since the war they'd been banned from competing in FIFA competitions, so 1954 was their first chance of qualifying. Their players were part-time with many having other jobs to fall back on. Coach Sepp Herberger had looked to build his team around several of the successful Kaiserslautern team, including captain Fritz Walter. He was joined in the team by his brother, Ottmar, as Die Roten Teufel contributed five players to the squad. No other club had more than two representatives. Fritz Walter was by far the most experienced member of the squad with 39 caps to his name. Only six other players had reached double figures in terms of caps, with Hamburg defender, Josef Posipal the next most experienced with 16.
Fritz Walter was as influential for the Germans as Puskas was for the Hungarians. Herberger built his team and tactics around his captain. But it could have been so different for Walter had events after the war taken an alternative route.
In 1945, Walter's airbase surrendered to the Americans as Germany was collapsing. They were then handed over to the Russians and sent to Siberia, along with 40,000 German prisoners of war. On his way to almost certain death, they stopped at a Ukrainian detention centre. The camp police were playing a football match, and Walter was invited to take part. One of the guards recognised him as having played for Germany, and the next day his name was taken off the list of those heading to Siberia. He was allowed to return home to Kaiserslautern and his life changed forever.
Herberger employed tactics that included giving his defensive players structured roles, but demanding his attackers make constant positional switches. This became known as the 'Herberger Whirl'.
Herberger was the first in a long line of German coaches who believed his job was to field the best team, rather than a team of the best players. He was big on team spirit and many of his squad were chosen in the belief they'd contribute to the collective of the group.
Post-war Germany was split into two countries, West and communist East. By 1954 there were doubts as to whether Germany could survive as two nations. Cities had been destroyed, the economy was wrecked and the soul of the nation had gone. Any talk of nationalism was taboo and so supporting anything German was a difficult matter. The embarrassment of having allowed such a regime as Nazism to take over was to grip the nation for many years.
For many observers, West Germany were there just to make up the numbers. Nobody knew anything about their players and up against the footballing might of Hungary, Uruguay, Brazil and Austria, surely they'd be no more than casual observers?
The two teams were drawn into the same first phase group. FIFA had decreed each group would have two seeded and two unseeded teams. The two seeds would play the two non-seeds with the top two moving into the knockout stage. If two teams were level on points in first and second, they would draw lots to see who topped the group. If second and third were level, a play-off would decide the outcome. This is how West Germany progressed.
They were a little fortunate in the other seeded team alongside Hungary were Turkey. Originally it was supposed to be Spain but Turkey caused an upset by knocking them out in qualification. FIFA had already decided the seeds, so they just put Turkey in Spain's place. West Germany saw them off 4-1.
Hungary put nine past South Korea and then beat West Germany, 8-3. Kocsis scored a hat-trick against the Koreans and then helped himself to four more against the Germans. They were flying.
Unbeknownst to them though, was an incident that would come to bite them later on. Puskas scored to put them 2-0 up, but later in the game, a clumsy challenge from Werner Liebrich caused a hairline fracture of his ankle. He wouldn't be seen again until the Final.
After the victory against the Turks, Herberger rested some of his players, believing a long tournament could take its toll on their fitness. Regulars such as Toni Turek, Max Morlock, Ottmar Walter and Hans Schäfer all sat on the bench for the Hungary game.
Denied the opportunity of confirming qualification by beating South Korea, the Germans were forced to negotiate the lottery of a play-off against Turkey. They were back to full strength winning 7-2.
In the Quarter-Finals, West Germany eased past Yugoslavia, before casting aside Austria in the Semis. In the 1930's Austria were the 'Wunderteam', but after being annexed by Hitler's Germany, post-war Austria wasn't quite the same force. However, it was still a surprise to see West Germany make it to the Final.
Hungary had a much harder task in front of them. They met the South American rivals, Brazil and Uruguay. The Brazilians were utterly desperate to put right the injustice of losing the 1950 World Cup to their bitter neighbours. These were two classic matches, which have gone down in history. Hungary beat Brazil 4-2 in a match which was named 'Battle of Bern' as two Brazilians were sent off. The nasty, tough challenges on the pitch made their way into the dressing room afterwards with several players and officials receiving injuries.
In the Semi-Finals Hungary had to take on Uruguay. This was the Olympic champions against the World champions. Olympic football was a big thing in those days, long before any age restrictions were put in place. Uruguay had also been Olympic champions before they won the first World Cup in 1930. After sitting out travelling to the next two tournaments, Uruguay's second World Cup appearance was in Brazil in 1950 and they won that too. They were yet to lose a World Cup match.
Hungary were 2-0 up but Uruguay came back to level things and take it into extra time. Two headers from Kocsis saw Hungary into the Final.
The Final was expected to be the sort of mauling the earlier meeting had been. Hungary were unbeaten in their previous 32 matches going back over four years. They had some of the best players in world football. West Germany were a group of part-timers few people outside the country had heard of. It looked to be all set up for a thumping.
However, heavy rain had made the pitch muddy and difficult to come to terms with. This is where things began to swing in Germany's favour. Firstly, their captain was known for excelling in such conditions, so much so there was a phrase in Germany, 'Fritz Walter Wetter', or Fritz Walter weather. But crucially they were playing in boots with screw-in studs, which could be adjusted to adapt to the conditions. This meant they were wearing footwear more familiar to them, rather than having to change.
Another factor was where Hungary had based themselves, in the town of Solothurn. As the Semi-Final against Uruguay went into extra time, they missed their bus back and only got back late at night. The night before the Final the town had a fair near the team's hotel and the noise disrupted many of the players' sleep.
The early stages of the match did little to suggest there would be anything other than a Hungarian success. The game was barely six minutes old when Bozsik intercepted a pass from Liebrich. He played Kocsis in and his shot was blocked, but Puskas was on hand to tap the ball in for the opening goal.
Just two minutes later they'd doubled their lead. A misunderstanding in the German defence saw Werner Kolhmeyer's back-pass wrong foot the keeper, and Czibor burst in to score the second. 2-0.
But just as some were beginning to wonder whether this would be another eight-goal drubbing, the Germans hit back. Fritz Walter played Rahn in down the left. His low cross into the area wasn't cleared and Morlock turned the ball in to make it 2-1 to Hungary.
Eight minutes later and the two sides were back level again. Walter took what was Germany's third corner in succession, and his high ball to the far was turned in by Rahn. 2-2. What a start to the game, with four goals in just 18 minutes.
Hungary soon resumed control. Hidegkuti had a couple of good chances to score, with the second hitting the post. Then just before the break, Rahn thought he'd scored again only to see Jenő Buzansky clear off the line.
2-2 at the break, and in the second period Hungary really took the game to their opponents. Puskas fired a shot straight at Turek. Kocsis headed against the crossbar, and both Czibor and Hidegkuti probably should've done better with their opportunities.
With six minutes left, Schäfer crossed into the box. Rahn picked up the loose clearance and feinted to pass, giving himself room to drive a low left-foot shot past Gyula Grosics. Amazingly, West Germany were now leading 3-2.
Undeterred, the Hungarians came back straight away. Puskas was sent clear and beat Turek to equalise. Or so they thought. Immediately the linesman flagged for offside. The Hungarians were incensed, surely this was too close to call? Then Czibor had a chance, but it was denied by Turek.
Eventually, the final whistle went and West Germany had pulled off a remarkable shock result. Hence the Miracle of Bern.
The fallout couldn't have been more different for each nation. In Budapest, there were demonstrations in the streets. They were welcomed as heroes after their Olympic gold medal in 1952. Two years later the players were hiding in a nearby town waiting for things to calm down. There were some who believe the seeds of the 1956 revolution were sown in the days after the Final.
Hungary carried on their incredible record after the competition, with one defeat in 49 over a five year period. Eventually, the run petered out, Sebes was replaced and everything began to dismantle. Hungarian football would never be the same again.
In contrast, the Germans couldn't really believe what had happened to them. Herberger's plans had worked perfectly. Hungary looked a little tired when they got to the Final, whereas the German coach had rested some players to make sure they were fully fit once they reached Bern.
Where the seeds of the 1956 revolution were sown in Hungary, West German football started its inexorable rise to world domination into the 1970s and right up to 1990. For the country, it was just the fillip they needed. One writer described it as "a guilt-ridden, inhibited nation was suddenly rebornâ€. National pride was no longer a taboo subject, they'd regained their self-esteem. The birth of a nation can be identified as soon as Rahn's left-foot shot hit the back of the net.
During the following years, many deliberated on how it was the Mighty Magyars failed at the final hurdle. But if you pick apart the tournament and you can see how gradually a number of factors started to build up, which would ultimately thwart the Hungarians.
- They had a much tougher route through the knockout phase than West Germany.
- A late finish in the Semi-Final, then disruptive local celebrations outside their hotel on the eve of the Final.
- Sebes brought back Puskas, who was less than 100% fit.
- The heavy rain made Hungary's passing game less effective.
- West Germany wore boots that were able to adapt to the conditions.
- Puskas goal was ruled offside.
The Miracle of Bern remains, for many Germans, their country's greatest sporting achievement. Mainly because it represents so much more than just a game.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders will try and keep pace with first place Kansas and not look ahead to their huge matchup this Saturday, when they visit the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Wednesday night. The Red Raiders may not have the services of the conference's second leading scorer in senior guard Keenan Evans, who is listed day-to-day after leaving Saturday's loss at Baylor with a toe injury. The Red Raiders had a seven-game win streak snapped at Baylor their last time out, while Oklahoma State has lost six of eight, including an uncharacteristic three straight at home. Graduate transfer guard Kendall Smith has been hot for the Cowboys, who own a 22-4 record against Texas Tech at home. Oklahoma State (33.5% from 3-point land) is 12-1 when it makes nine or more 3-pointers, but the Red Raiders lead the Big 12 in 3-point percentage defense (30.8%). Interesting trend: The Cowboys are 5-1 in Big 12 games played on Saturday but 0-8 in weeknight league games.
Evans leads the Red Raiders with 18.2 points and head coach Chris Beard said, "It's going to come down to just pain tolerance and can he move," regarding Evans' status for Wednesday. Freshman guard Zhaire Smith contributes 10.7 points after five straight games in double figures and fellow guard Jarrett Culver adds 10.8 points. The Red Raiders lead the league and are ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense (62.5 points) and are second in the Big 12 with 16.4 turnovers forced per game.
[ad id='64782′]
Kendall Smith, who averages 12.5 points a game, has upped that to 17.5 over the past eight, including hitting 51.6% from the 3-point line. Senior Jeffrey Carroll leads the Cowboys with 15.0 points and 6.0 rebounds and became one of 14 Oklahoma State players to be ranked in the top 25 of the school's career scoring and rebounding lists. Junior Tavarius Shine contributes 10.7 points and senior forward Mitchell Solomon adds 8.3 points and a team-best 6.2 rebounds.
I believe Evans will go in this one, but either way, it's all about the Red Raiders' defense that will ultimately step up once again and thwart the struggling Oklahoma State team. It's hard to believe, but the Cowboys will lose their fourth-straight home game on Wednesday.

The V8 engine makes Node.js unbeatable when it comes to computing speed. Node.js makes use of single-threading to process requests instead of the typical multi-threading. It helps to save computing speed as well as space. While the request is on hold to satisfy particular needs, other requests can be processed concurrently. It enhances the whole computing ability of the server. Node.js also helps to complete multiple activities quickly, like reading, writing, or modifying the database.
The Node Package Manager (NPM) enables packages from multiple environments to work together with the existing environment as Node.js is open-source. It makes Node.js and its package managers swift and steady in the matter of performance and development. It has over 60000 modules that are the most significant numbers online. Developers can install, update, and utilize smaller open-source software packages. They do not have to write common features from the beginning and can eliminate new complex layers that usually come along that particular domain.
Developers can code in JavaScript on the client and server side, making code deployment and execution more accessible and prompt. Also, it aids in rapid data transmission among a server and a client, as there is no need for language conversion. Node.js is impressive in managing synchronous connections. It makes Node.js a practical framework to develop real-time and multi-user web apps. You can build gaming apps and chatbots with Node.js. Meteor is the best example of a web app framework based on Meteor.JS that executes the same codebase on both sides, a client and a server.
Node.js is very efficient in handling I/O requests. So we can exploit this feature in online data streaming. In a typical framework, HTTP requests and responses are viewed as data objects. Node.js significantly uses these streams to implement operations while processing the data on it. Transcoding an audio and video file is possible while they are uploading. This is why you should use Node.js to leverage the best out of data streaming.
Node.js programs are entirely developed in JavaScript. So there is no need to have different developers for frontend and backend, individually. You can code both frontend and backend in Node.js. You do not have to depend on other languages to do that job. Every web developer has coded a little bit of JavaScript, so the productivity ratio will always be high.
A growing number of developers are choosing Node.js, hosting is also getting momentum. Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers like Heroku and Modulus are authoritatively enabling node deployments seamlessly.
Node.js performs as a proxy server among different services that have various response timings. You can also utilize it as a proxy while collecting resources. For example, if there is a server-side app that works with third-party resources, saves videos/images, or collects data from different sources, then Node.js can be useful as a Proxy if the company does not have the facilities for it or requires local development in similar circumstances.
These are the reasons why you should use Node.js to be a market winner. If you search for a lightweight app that is easy to develop, Node.js can be the best choice for you. It consists of essential needs and components that aid you in creating robust apps. High potency and plenty of positive effects make Node.js a prominent platform among businesses.

February 27, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A pro-life obstetrician-gynecologist said that it was shameful that Democrats refused to support a bill earlier this week that would have protected babies born alive after a failed abortion.
On Monday, the Senate failed to reach the number of votes necessary for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act to overcome the current filibuster rules and pass. The final vote of 53-44 fell largely along party lines, failing to reach the necessary 60 votes. Three Democrats did, however, cross the aisle and vote with Republicans on the bill. They were Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, and Doug Jones of Alabama. The bill required abortionists to provide medical care for babies who survive abortion.
Commenting on the bill, Dr. William Lile said, "The fact that Democrats say that a baby that is strong enough to survive an attempted abortion, and comes out kicking, screaming, and has a heartbeat, that it is now a decision to be left to the mother and the physician is just crazy." Repeating a catch-phrase from his website, the doctor said, "The patient is a person no matter how small."
Lile is a board-certified physician who practices obstetrics and gynecology in Florida and Alabama. He stressed in his video that preborn and just-born babies are patients and worthy of medical care despite the position taken by Democrats and abortion advocates.
On his Facebook video, Dr. Lile displayed a position paper by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) on informed consent and patients' rights. Quoting from the paper, he said, "'Seeking informed consent expresses respect for the patient as a person; it particularly respects a patient's moral right to bodily integrity.'" Dr. Lile went on to note from the paper that because the baby is not able to provide consent, a "surrogate decision-maker should be identified to provide a 'substituted judgment' (a decision based on what the patient would have wanted.'"
"The baby is the patient, the baby would not want to be killed," he said.
Quoting again from the ACOG paper, Dr. Lile said, "If the patient's wishes are unknown, the surrogate makes a decision according to the 'best interests' of the patient."
"Death is not in the best interests of the patient, and the baby/patient would not choose death as their best interest. This is very clear," he added.
"Shame on the Democrats," Dr. Lile said in the video, "for saying that the baby on the outside, let alone the baby on the inside, is not a person, because they are clearly patients." He reiterated, "A patient is a person, no matter how small."
On his website, Dr. Lile wrote how he treats preborn patients while they are still in the womb. "When I see a pregnant patient in my office, I am following two patients. The baby shares only half of its DNA with the mother. The other half comes from the father. The mother is the life support system for the baby, but the baby is a new person."

On the subject of restrictions on the use of dangerous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (ESA), Directive 2011/65 / EU – also called RoHS II – replaced Directive 2002/95 / EC. Defined bythe acronym of "Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive", the RoHS is aimed at bringing together the laws of the Member States on restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in the aforementioned equipment and on protecting human health, connected to the recovery and environmentally correct disposal of waste from appliances.
the RoHS and i its main changes
In the first place, the new directive has extended the scope of restricted substances, refining the necessary technical documentation, including declaration of conformity (Doc) and CE marking. The directive, Furthermore, defined additional obligations for operators in the production / distribution chain and harmonized the list of restricted substances with similar regulations such as REACH.
At the level of extension of the scope, Three categories of products subject to the RoHS II, which have therefore increased from eight to eleven. The categories in question are:
• Category 1 – Large appliances;
• Category 2 – Small appliances;
• Category 3 – IT and telecommunication equipment;
• Category 4 – Consumer equipment;
• Category 5 – Lighting equipment;
• Category 6 – Electrical and electronic tools;
• Category 7 – Toys and equipment for leisure and sports
• Category 8 – Medical devices;
• Category 9 – Monitoring and control tools, including industrial monitoring and control tools;
• Category 10 – Vending machines;
• Category 11 – Other equipment (ESA) that do not fall into one of the above categories.
As for the substances with use restrictions and the values of the maximum tolerated concentrations by weight in homogeneous materials, RoHS emphasizes: Lead (0,1 %), Mercury (0,1 %), Cadmium (0,01 %), Hexavalent chromium (0,1 %), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) (0,1 %), Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) (0,1 %).
CE MARKING and DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
As mentioned, since its entry into force the RoHS directive has introduced l'mandatory CE marking and the requirements for the declaration of conformity. In order to place electrical and electronic equipment on the market (ESA), therefore, every economic operator must comply with the conformity assessment procedure in line with the legislation. Compliance with RoHS requirements must be supported by the necessary technical documentation; which will then result in a declaration of conformity (Doc) and the CE marking to be affixed to the finished product.
In this context, the producer must ensure that the electrical or electronic appliance meets the limitation requirements on restricted substances, drafting the technical documentation, after having carried out the internal production control. The producer is also responsible for issuing the declaration of conformity, affix the CE marking ensuring its traceability, and keep documentation available for 10 from placing on the market. In general, Furthermore, all traders - The manufacturer, the authorized representative, the importer and the distributor – have the responsibility of ensure product compliance, applying - when necessary - the most appropriate corrective measures.
How to get RoHS Certification
Exist two modes to get RoHS certification. La prima - widely widespread in past years – provides for the analysis of all components and materials used for the production of the product, aimed at collecting the individual RoHS compliance declarations concerning them. This mode is based on the principle that if all the components and materials used comply with the established limits, consequently even the complete product respects them.
To date, instead, you act using the second methodology which consists in taking the product, literally do it in small pieces, collect samples of all materials used – both electrical and plastic parts – for subject all these samples to chemical analysis. It follows that the number of analyzes is high, extremely accurate, so much so that they are entrusted to dedicated laboratories that carry out these activities with great efficiency.
As usual, Sicom Testing responds to market needs promptly and effectively. To meet the growing demands for RoHS certification with the application of the method of chemical analysis of materials, Sicom Testing has tightened new agreements with specialized laboratories and offers its customers a complete service, Fast and secure.

MOC/CME Information
Data on the use of antiretroviral drugs, including new drugs and formulations, for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection continue to guide optimal practices.
To evaluate new data and incorporate them into current recommendations for initiating HIV therapy, monitoring individuals starting on therapy, changing regimens, preventing HIV infection for those at risk, and special considerations for older people with HIV.
Evidence Review
New evidence was collected since the previous International Antiviral (formerly AIDS) Society–USA recommendations in 2018, including data published or presented at peer-reviewed scientific conferences through August 22, 2020. A volunteer panel of 15 experts in HIV research and patient care considered these data and updated previous recommendations.
From 5316 citations about antiretroviral drugs identified, 549 were included to form the evidence basis for these recommendations. Antiretroviral therapy is recommended as soon as possible for all individuals with HIV who have detectable viremia. Most patients can start with a 3-drug regimen or now a 2-drug regimen, which includes an integrase strand transfer inhibitor. Effective options are available for patients who may be pregnant, those who have specific clinical conditions, such as kidney, liver, or cardiovascular disease, those who have opportunistic diseases, or those who have health care access issues. Recommended for the first time, a long-acting antiretroviral regimen injected once every 4 weeks for treatment or every 8 weeks pending approval by regulatory bodies and availability. For individuals at risk for HIV, preexposure prophylaxis with an oral regimen is recommended or, pending approval by regulatory bodies and availability, with a long-acting injection given every 8 weeks. Monitoring before and during therapy for effectiveness and safety is recommended. Switching therapy for virological failure is relatively rare at this time, and the recommendations for switching therapies for convenience and for other reasons are included. With the survival benefits provided by therapy, recommendations are made for older individuals with HIV. The current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic poses particular challenges for HIV research, care, and efforts to end the HIV epidemic.
Conclusion and Relevance
Advances in HIV prevention and management with antiretroviral drugs continue to improve clinical care and outcomes among individuals at risk for and with HIV.

I felt it was important to honor the historical contribution of the Chinese community who made Garden City their home during the mining boom in Idaho in the late 1800s. Garden City was named for gardens raised by Chinese immigrants who lived in the area. The stylized red butterflies are a traditional paper craft of the Chinese. Butterflies, flowers and other natural forms were cut and hung in windows and doors to symbolize happiness and luck. The other stylized forms represent wind and air.
I was invited to design and install outdoor sculptures in a contemporary Garden City, Idaho neighborhood. A collaborative enterprise with NeighborWorks® Boise, a national non-profit organization whose mission is to lead in creating innovative housing solutions that contribute to building stronger communities. I wanted to create a unique artwork that integrated nicely within the pocket neighborhood located on 40th Street. Something that worked well with the landscape and also offered a sense of place in the community.

Testimonials... from Fluid Film Users
The products offered by us are highly appreciated by our clients below are
the testimonials that are provided by the clients.
Phil Odom-Customer Service Rep, Billy Goat Industries
Just kind of a commentary. You have no idea how many times I have been asked if I am receiving a commission on your product, even by my own boss. The reason being is, if I hear a squeak I say spray some Fluid Film and it will fix that. Oh that's got rust on it you should spray it with Fluid Film. That bolt is seized on forget Liquid Wrench spray it with Fluid Film. You have a great product and I want the world to know. Keep up the good work.
Midsouth Lawn & Landscape, Inc
We purchase a case of FF each season, been using FF since 02, all our ZTRS get healthy coatings: the underside of the decks, pivot points, hinges, spindles, PTO shafts. Walker GHS system gets a coating each night, limiting the number of clogs, and reducing dirt & grass build up on all our equipment. At $7.50 a 12 oz aerosol can, FF is a great investment on maintaining an efficient lawn care crew. Now I find reduced time spent fighting with "stuck" pins, PTO shafts, quick detach buckets, 3-point hitch's are easily hooked up with FF. Use it on our chainsaw blades, hedge trimmer blades, hedge pruners, and loppers. FF will not com bust or harm plants or grass, smells good IMO.
Jason Rhoads-Fluid Film Customer
I am a (diy) kind of guy and here are the multiple uses I have found you can use a great product and save on a little headache in the future. Fluid Film is the first thing I grab when I go to work on my kids bikes, first thing I grab when I line my fishing reels, and a must around the old Land cruiser I'm restoring. I have used it on everything from squeaky doors, rusted bolts, and always on the shotguns after a hunt.
Timothy Imler-Captain of Police, Brookfield WI
It worked out great! I tried it on many different surfaces and in many different applications. I went out and bought a case of it for myself for my snowplow business. My cousin, who owns a fleet of 84 dump trucks saw it and he ordered a ton of it also! He loved it too and is now using it throughout his shop and on his fleet. I also bought a couple of cans to use here at the police department. We have a couple of squads that have the older style halogen rotator light bars. These bars are very problematic in the winter with freezing motors, etc. I sprayed the gears in the bars and I am confident that they will now perform flawlessly for the winter months. Keep up the good work.
Andrew Mills-Fluid Film Customer
Best spray lube ever. I'm a locksmith, I've used 10 different lubes before trying Fluid Film and let me say nothing comes close. I use it to keep water out of lock cylinders to keep them from freezing in -40 degree weather. My truck mounted key machine needed WD-40 everyday. I can't even remember when I put the Fluid Film it was so long ago and it runs better than ever. This year for the first time I tried undercoating my car with it and to my surprise not a single drop fell on the ground. I recommend this stuff to everyone I see. With spray lube, those other cans of spray are only good for cleaning parts now IMO. Thanks for an awesome product.
Rons Lawncare-Professional Landscaper
I have been using spray cans of Fluid Film under my deck on my w/b for 2 years now. It worked ok for reducing grass buildup. I bought a gallon can of it last month ad applied it to the underside of the deck. WOW! It was like night and day. There was very little grass buildup after 2 weeks of intermittent use. I'm sold on the (thicker) liquid version of Fluid Film for use under mowing decks.
John Willer-Customer
I just want to tell you how great this stuff is. It works great on the farm, but what they do not tell you, and probably will not, is that it works great on ringworm. I have used it on my livestock and even my kids and it worked wonders. Definitely worth the extra pennies.
R. Dooley-Customer
I was staying at a vacation home that had a sliding screen door that was sticking so badly I had started avoiding it and walking way out of my way to get outside. Fortunately, there was a can of Fluid Film in the back of my car, so I figured I'd give it a try. After one application to the tracks, the screen was in perfect working order again. When I got home I sprayed all three of my sliding screen tracks, and I've been looking all around the house for things that might benefit from some Fluid Film. Great stuff!

Manbar wasn't alone
The Jerusalem Post, 07/17/1998
Background by STEVE RODAN
(July 17) - Nahum Manbar may be slippery and mendacious, as the three-judge panel that sentenced him to 16 years yesterday determined. But one thing is clear: He wasn't the only one selling military equipment to Iran.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a host of Israeli defense contractors sold their goods to Iran. Israeli court records show Elbit tried to interest Iran in purchasing equipment that would detect chemical weapons in a $50 million deal via Poland. Defense sources say such companies as Rabintex sold Teheran fire-protection garments. In most cases, the equipment was sold via European countries, but with the knowledge and permission of the Defense Ministry's Sibat arms export agency.
So, why was Manbar arrested and convicted? Manbar and his supporters say he is a scapegoat and his prosecution was meant to assuage US authorities, who had declared him persona non grata in 1994.
Intelligence sources familiar with the case say Manbar simply went too far.
In July 1994, Manbar's two companies, Europol Holding and Mana Investment International, both based in Western Europe, were placed on a State Department list of companies that sold chemical weapons parts to rogue states in defiance of the US embargo.
US Assistant Secretary of State Thomas McNamara said in his report that US companies are banned from doing business with the companies of Manbar and others that appear on the list. Their goods also would be kept out of the US.
At the same time, US officials were pressing Israel for Manbar's prosecution. They argued that Manbar's activities could not be overlooked if the US embargo on Iran was to be taken seriously.
For several years, intelligence sources say, Israeli officials hesitated. Part of the problem was the contradicting views of Manbar in Israel's intelligence community. The General Security Service had been receiving information on Iran volunteered by Manbar since 1991. The GSS assured Manbar that he would not be prosecuted for dealing with Iran.
During the Manbar trial, a GSS agent, identified as A, testified that he and his colleagues had promised to protect Manbar.
"It was clear to the establishment that Nahum had information on interesting subjects, such as the heart of [Iran's] biological and chemical establishment," A testified. "It wasn't clear what his part was in this array."
The sources said Manbar's relations with the GSS were so cozy that he was seen at least once dining with then-GSS chief Ya'acov Perry.
But Manbar's dealings with Iran were opposed by the Mossad and its then-chief Shabtai Shavit. Shavit argued that Manbar was hurting the US's dual containment policy and Israeli efforts to try to stop Iran's military programs. He said Manbar's offer of chemical weapons equipment to Iran was not worth the intelligence he might be receiving from Teheran.
"Shavit's message was that this was not the way to get intelligence," an intelligence source said.
By early 1993, then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was convinced that the Israeli weapons dalliance with Iran had to stop. What persuaded him were reports from the IDF that Hizbullah was firing mortars, supplied to Iran over the previous few years from the Yokne'am-based contractor Soltam, at Israeli troops in Lebanon. Rabin ordered an immediate halt to defense sales to Iran.
Civilian exports, however, continued to arrive in Iran and industry sources say current trade, largely done through European companies, is estimated at close to $100 million annually.
Manbar was warned to stop selling equipment to Iran. But, as his associates said, he still had unfinished business to complete. It took until 1994 for Manbar to end his relationship with Teheran.
As Manbar's older brother, Zvi, recalls, Nahum told him: "If I don't keep my agreement with these people I could get kill

news has timeliness and preciseness. if you understand the precautions of news translation, you can do a better job in news translation. what should we pay attention to when we share news translation?
1、 literal or basic literal translation of news headlines. literal translation and free translation, which is right or wrong, have been debated in the field of translation in china. however, whether literal translation or free translation, faithfulness to the original content should be given priority.
二、翻译中添加注释性词语。英语报刊的新闻标题往往迎合本国读者的阅读习惯,而且由于思维习惯与中国人不同,英语新闻标题的表达方式也与中文有所不同。因此,翻译过程中必须充分考虑到内外有别的原则和我国读者的阅读心理,对国人可能不太熟悉的有关信息、文化背景知识以及不符合国内读者阅读习惯的表达方式 进行必要的变通,该删则删,该增则增。
2、 add explanatory words to the translation. english newspaper headlines often cater to the reading habits of their own readers, and because of their different thinking habits and chinese people, english news headlines have different ways of expression. therefore, in the process of translation, it is necessary to fully consider the principles of internal and external differences and the reading psychology of chinese readers, and make necessary modifications to the relevant information, cultural background knowledge that chinese people may not be familiar with and the expressions that do not conform to the reading habits of domestic readers. the deletion will be deleted while the addition will be added.
三、尽量再现原文修辞特点。许多新闻标题不仅以其简洁精炼引人注意,同时也通过运用各种修辞技巧,既有效地传递一些微妙的隐含信息,又使读者在义、音、形等方面得到美的享受。因此,在翻译时应尽可能地体现原文修辞特点,如双关、比喻、押韵等,使译文和原文在修辞上基本吻合,从而让译文读者得到与原文读者 近乎一样的感受。
3、 try to reproduce the rhetorical features of the original text. many news headlines not only attract people's attention for their conciseness and conciseness, but also effectively convey some subtle implicit information by using various rhetorical skills, which makes readers enjoy the beauty of meaning, sound and form. therefore, in translation, the rhetorical features of the original should be embodied as much as possible, such as pun, metaphor, rhyme, etc., so as to make the translation and the original basically coincide in rhetoric, so that the target readers can get almost the same feelings as the original readers.

All three Republican users of West Virginia's delegation to the U.S. Residence of Reps voted Tuesday versus a measure that would eliminate confederate statues from the constructing exactly where they operate.
The exertion comes as statues, memorials and other displays honoring the Confederacy have occur down throughout the United States as a result of extensive protest around the previous yr in opposition to racial injustice and a reckoning with the history of American slavery.
The Property passed H.R. 3005 Tuesday night on a 285-120 vote, with all no votes coming from Republicans. Democrats unanimously supported the bill and had been joined by 67 Republicans.
The invoice phone calls on the Joint Committee on the Library and the Capitol Architect to swap the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Previous Supreme Court Chamber of the U.S. Capitol with a bust of the late Supreme Court docket Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American to serve on the bench of the nation's significant court.
Taney was the writer of the infamous 1857 Dred Scott choice that declared that folks of African descent had been not citizens of the United States.
H.R. 3005 would also remove specific statues from locations that are publicly accessible and would take out all statues of people today who voluntarily served the Accomplice States of The usa.
Present-day federal legislation calls for each state's legislature to choose two statues to be exhibited in the U.S. Capitol. Underneath H.R. 3005, any statues taken off as component of the laws would be returned to their property states.
West Virginia's two statues contain John E. Kenna, a Kanawha County native who joined the Accomplice Military before afterwards serving in the U.S. Residence of Representatives, and Francis Harrison Pierpont, a supporter of President Abraham Lincoln who turned the provisional governor of West Virginia upon statehood.
Supplied the intent and emphasis of H.R. 3005, Kenna's statue would be eradicated from the U.S. Capitol and returned to West Virginia.
Rep. David McKinley, who serves in West Virginia's 1st District, explained the challenge is one particular that rests with specific states, which is why he determined to vote versus H.R. 3005.
"Each point out was allowed to put two statues in Statuary Hall. Congress should really not usurp the authority of states. If the West Virginia legislature chooses to switch John E. Kenna with another statue, that is in their authority," McKinley explained. "Several other states are presently thinking about changing theirs."
"If Congress opts to replace Main Justice Roger B. Taney with Thurgood Marshall which is within just their jurisdiction," McKinley included.
Rep. Alex Mooney also stated the selection on what statues are shown in the U.S. Capitol is a single that need to lie with person states. But Mooney, who serves in West Virginia's 2nd District, also accused Democrats of politicizing the energy.
"I voted against Speaker Pelosi and Residence Democrats' exertion to clear away statues personal states sent to be honored in the Capitol," Mooney said. "It is up to individual states to come to a decision which statutes they want to be introduced in the Capitol, not Nancy Pelosi and the ever-shifting requirements of political correctness from the Still left."
Rep. Carol Miller, from the state's 3rd District, echoed the statements from her West Virginia congressional colleagues.
"Rep. Miller voted versus the monthly bill since this is a procedure among states, the Architect of the Capitol, and the Joint Committee on the Library," Miller's office said in a information release. "This was still a further messaging monthly bill that Household Democrats pushed to consider to gain political points on an issue that Rep. Miller, and her Republican and Democrat colleagues alike, currently concur on – There is no position for racism in The us."
Spokespersons for the West Virginia Senate and Property of Delegates both of those claimed there are no existing plans to get rid of or swap both of West Virginia's two statues on exhibit in the U.S. Capitol.
When statues and other markers honoring associates of the confederacy — namely Accomplice Gen. Stonewall Jackson — have been extensively debated in West Virginia around the earlier yr, several removals or alterations have taken put.
Statues of Jackson are prominently displayed on the grounds of the state funds in Charleston as nicely as outside the house the Harrison County Courthouse in Clarksburg. Nevertheless, the Kanawha County Board of Education and learning voted very last slide to rename a center faculty that was initially dedicated in Jackson's honor.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For over two centuries, the United States has lead the world in innovation, manufacturing and free enterprise.

At Cost Club we are proactively working to reverse this trend and return our nation to a self-reliant manufacturing powerhouse.

Known on the street as "Sally," the MDA drug is closely related to "Molly" or "Ecstasy," the street name for MDMA.
Some people call it the "sass drug" or simply "sass" because it is made from safrole oil that comes from the sassafras plant and is considered a hallucinogen.
In December 2015, the body of Scott Weiland, former lead singer of The Stone Temple Pilots, among the most successful rock bands of the 1990s, was found dead on a tour bus in Bloomington, Minnesota. Weiland struggled with addiction for decades.
His death has been ruled an accidental overdose from a combination of drugs, including the MDA drug methylenedioxyamphetamine.
The untimely death of Scott Weiland has sparked a national conversation about the differences as well as the dangers of MDMA vs MDA.
What are MDA and MDMA?
Before launching into chemical specifics, though, it's important to note that on the street or at the point of sale, no one can be sure about the makeup of either drug.
MDMA and MDA are rarely ever pure. They are usually sold as either a pill or a powder, and they can be cut with any number of toxic chemicals that users are unaware of and will not be able to tell first responders if necessary.
Both substances fall under the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes of drugs. In other words, MDA and MDMA are both stimulants and psychedelics.
While they're often sold for the same price, they can cause different "highs."
Neither drug is approved by the Food and Drug Administration or currently deemed safe for treating any medical condition.
That might be changing at some time in the near future because the FDA agreed to a MAPS application for an expanded access program in December 2019. The goal is to study MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for treating people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
What Are the MDA Drug Effects of (Sally)?
Users do not often report different feelings or side effects because each person's neurochemical makeup is unique.
The MDA drug, or Sally, causes the brain to release large amounts of serotonin, norepinephrine, and smaller amounts of dopamine.
This causes people to experience a heightened mood and positive feelings of empathy and affection for those around them.
Unfortunately, when the MDA drug wears off, it depletes the brain of serotonin, sometimes for several days, and can leave users in a depressed state.
MDA Drug Sally Side Effects
Short-term side effects of the MDA drug can cause:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Decrease in appetite
- Euphoria
- Sense of wellbeing
- Profuse sweating
- Jaw clenching
- Extreme energy boost
Long-term side effects of MDA can include:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Anxiety
- Muscle tension
- Memory loss
- Headaches
- Depression
MDA is considered more of a psychedelic or hallucinogen than a stimulant, although it represents qualities of both.
Many users report a much more intense visual high than with MDMA, and some report seeing tracers and other visual side effects.
It is also associated with a "heavier body high" and energy that can last up to six hours or more, depending on the dose.
What Are the Side Effects of MMDA (Molly, Ecstasy)?
MDMA, or Molly, acts in similar ways to MDA in the brain, although it is thought that structural changes in the brain after the drug wears off might not be quite as dramatic.
MDMA Molly Side Effects
Short-term side effects of MDMA can include:
- Nausea
- Lowered appetite
- Vomiting
- Euphoria
- Decrease in negative emotions
- Reduced insecurity
- Strong feelings of wellbeing
Long-term side effects of MDMA use can include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Increased negative emotions
- Insomnia
- Decrease in appetite
- Memory problems
- Feelings of irritability
MDMA is considered more of a psychedelic than a stimulant, but it generally falls into both categories.
It is associated with more of a "Loving" high that doesn't last quite as long as MDA.
Many experts argue that the term "overdose" is incorrectly applied to drugs like MDA and MDMA because there is no standard "dose" to begin with.
Studies have shown that in fatalities related to this class of drugs, individuals were thought to have ingested an amount accepted as "safe" for recreational use.
Individuals exhibiting symptoms of an overdose must receive immediate medical attention.
Signs that a person is experiencing an adverse reaction to MDMA vs MDA include:
- Loss of consciousness
- Feelings of faintness
- Seizures
- Panic attacks
- High blood pressure
- Extreme sweating
The physical and psychological dangers of MDA and MDMA are very real.
There's some debate about whether or not the drugs are physically addictive, though it's been shown that users can develop a tolerance. This means they must take more and more of the drug to experience the same effects.
Repeated abuse can cause a chemical imbalance in the brain leading to mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. Long-term use can also result in structural or functional changes in the brain.
Parents need to talk with their teenagers about the difference between MDA vs MDMA but also about the genuine risks associated with doing any drugs.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the use of MDMA among teenagers is down. Still, teenagers remain some of the most at-risk and vulnerable populations regarding drug abuse and addiction.
The Dangers of the MDA Drug and MDMA
Taking designer drugs like MDA or MDMA can be dangerous because the batches are often entirely different depending on where they were made and who is selling them.
For this reason, it's difficult for users to know what they are getting, despite claims by the person they are getting them from.
Because they are often sold in powder form, many dealers cut them with other chemicals to either increase the intensity of the drug or to get more out of each batch.
Sometimes they are combined with other drugs like meth, cocaine, ketamine, or others.
While there haven't been any reports about Fentanyl being mixed with MDA or MDMA yet, in recent years, it has been added to heroin, opioids, cocaine, meth, and even fake Xanax. It could make them much more dangerous or deadly if it ever happens.
Are They Addictive?
Long-term use of Molly or Sally can cause changes to the brain similar to addiction and lead to severe depression and other mental health conditions.
Neither of these drugs is considered to have a high potential for addiction, but it cannot be ruled out. Regular users can build a tolerance to them, requiring larger doses each time they use them, which can be dangerous or cause additional complications.
Even though these drugs cause euphoria, they should not be used to cope with depression or similar conditions because the after-effects when the drugs wear off will cause these conditions to worsen.
For anyone experiencing problems related to the use of the MDA drug or MDMA, they should speak with a doctor or consult with an addiction medicine specialist.

Someone has very rightly quoted; learning is like rowing upstream. It steers us through all difficulties, but cramming leaves us nowhere. Learning means to commit to memory any given text. This process of memorizing surely helps students to absorb informational materials in a no specific amount of time while cramming is the practice of working intensively to absorb large amounts of informational materials in a short amount of time. What is the meaning of cramming? And what are the causes of cramming? What are the official veto effects of cramming? Cramming is strongly discouraged by educators because the hurried coverage of studying tends to result in poor long term memorization. It's hard to take in and retain a large amount of information in a short period of time. Students love to look at their work load and say to themselves, "I've got time," but they soon find out how quickly their "time" disappears. In the present study, researchers investigated the effects of cramming.
There were 2 group of students, one group crammed by studying immediately before a test, while another group of students performed a cognitive task between studying and their test. Their test scores showed that there was no significant difference between cramming and non cramming test preparation techniques. This research might be useful to students attempting to justify cramming, or to teachers attempting to find new methods of test preparation and to know the principle and the effects of cramming to students.
Some students study everyday what they learnt, but some students let the studying until The night before exams and tests. Students cram for a number of reasons Including fear of failure or no time to study. This can happen to students with jobs, has a Higher responsibility in their family, or those who may be involved in some extracurricular activities or for some who thinks that they still have "time" but in fact they don't. The students do not follow a fixed time for study because they don't schedule their study time. They don't take down notes of important points given in the lecture. There are variable negative effects of cramming.
Procrastination, more specifically cramming, is a major problem among youths around the high school and college years. People just like to focus on the present and forget the future which inevitably causes negative outcomes as a result of the cramming when students find themselves with much information to learn and little time in which to learn it, cramming often seems a viable option. By cramming, you are trying to learn everything you can in the limited time you have to study. It's possible to end up forgetting most of the information, causing grades to suffer. If you have no choice but to cram, focus on sections that will give you the most points on the exam or test.
Cramming is the practice of memorizing things in a short period of time. I interviewed some students in our school and found out some of the reasons why students cram and how it affects their behavior in school. Some say that, Students cram because laziness can sometimes overcome them which causes them to do their work on the last minute and that they have different priorities of work that leads them to put aside that assignment since it's "so far away" until the due date so they just put it off. Student's lives are so full of responsibilities and priorities that eventually leads them to begin the habit of cramming.
Their priorities begin to mix up. I remembered one of my high school teacher before say that "over-committed schedules can lead to little or no time to do their school work." Some also say that it's because of lack of knowledge, lack of initiative, lack of interest and laziness and that it usually leaves them little time in the way for sleep. Students who cram during at night usually gets only 3-4 hours of sleep causing them sleep deprivation.
Sleep deprivation affects the students brain functioning which hinders them to listen attentively in class and to think straight. It also causes them to lack alertness and difficulty in memorizing materials which often leads them to lower test grades. Cramming does not only affect the grades of the person cramming, but also health related issues such as addictions and anxiety. Since memory is such an important component of day to day life and involves remembering for an exam, remembering due dates for a paper, remembering instructions on how to cite borrowed information, students should strive to get the sleep they need.

8 Famous Suspension Bridges in the World – My Experience
I travel not to solely spend a vacation. I travel to explore the unknowns. The natural wonders, architectural marvels, religious beliefs, traditions, customers many more. Be it natural or be it man-made, they are a source of immense knowledge and learnings. The instinct to decipher the truth, tale and mysteries concealed within them is something I treasure and cherish in my memories for a long. In this article today, I ecstatically present the 8 famous suspension bridges in the world; I have visited during my many international travel journeys. I had earlier written one article about the famous suspension bridges in India, my country. You can also read it along with this article.
Punakha Suspension Bridge in Bhutan
If you are not afraid of heights and enjoy adventure and thrill, you will really love to walk along the Punakha Suspension Bridge in Bhutan. One of the oldest bridges in the world, extending to a length of about 160 metres. Pioneered by Thangtong Gyalpo, a Buddhist monk, the bridge is there for years in a stable and sturdy state. The exciting part of the bridge is it is suspended through chains and not by any wooden platform. So as you walk along it, you can feel the soothing breeze whizz past you. I enjoyed every moment as I trudged along through the bridge, balancing myself to click a selfie and multiple photos of the mesmerising view around. If you love thrill and challenge in your journey like me, you will definitely appreciate the adrenaline-rush experience.
Tower Bridge in London
Whenever I am in London, it is sort of customary to visit the Tower Bridge both during the day and at night. And why do I mention both day and night. Well, for that you need to personally visit the bridge. During the day, you witness the intrinsic works of architecture adorning its magnificent towers. At night, the dazzling lights sparkling through the entire structure of the bridge, create a bright and vibrant atmosphere all around. It is hence one of the remarkable bridges in the world. Inaugurated in 1894 by the Princess of Wales, it elongates to a length of about 240 meters with the towers rising as high as 61 meters above the river Thames. The best part of the bridge is the two parallel walkways connecting the two twin towers of the bridge.
Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
I still relish the memories of my visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. The bright reddish-orange colours gleaming through the sky, embracing the horizon with its majestic heights, are truly an enigmatic experience. As per my experience, one of the uniquely built bridges in the world. You might be wondering the bridge earned its name because of its colours. Well, that's not exactly is the story behind it. The name was essentially decided by John C. Freemont who found the bay or the strait resembling that of a similar strait in Istanbul. The decision regarding the colour is a bit different. It is said that originally when the red primer was applied, an engineer found it to be an attractive one and hence the reddish paint was used for the entire bridge. You can walk around the bridge premises, visit a cafe and another sightseeing spot at Fort Point.
Brooklyn Bridge in New York
New York has always been my favourite city in the US. I still remember the late-night visits to Times Square and during the day roaming around the city at the popular destinations. And truly how can I miss mentioning about the Brooklyn Bridge which I have visited so often. It's considered as the iconic landmark of New York with the incredible views of the Manhattan skyline and the waterfront. Opened to the public in 1883; during its era, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, constructed in steel. Stretching to about a length of 1596 feet, it's indeed a pleasure to enjoy a leisure walk on the bridge. The bridge as I understand is currently under renovation, the plan was to continue till 2023. The pandemic might have changed some plans, yet to receive the latest news.
George Washington Bridge in New York
Innumerable times I have crossed the bridge in my car. The bridge essentially connects New York and New Jersey. We had friends staying at New Jersey so for obvious reasons we were frequent visitors to the place. Crossing the bridge had a different feeling every time and I never could control myself clicking multiple shots with my camera. Constructed over the Hudson River, it is one of the busiest bridges in the world. Currently, the bridge has two decks with 14 lanes to control the heavy influx of traffic each day. The bridge is significant in a way that it connects some important landmarks – Manhattan, New Jersey and Fort Lee. Two very phenomenal persons who need to be mentioned for gifting such a magnificent bridge are architect Cass Gilbert and engineer Othmar Ammann.
Bear Mountain Bridge in New York
Well, you must be wondering why am I mentioning bridges mostly in New York. The fact that I had stayed majorly on the east coast of the US. New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington and Virginia were my common destinations and I had explored them a lot. Bear Mountain was one such spot which I had visited quite a few times during the weekends to spend a solitude and tranquil time among the greenery. And hence crossing the bridge was never missed. The bridge was constructed in 1924 with 2 lanes, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to trail along the walkways. You must visit the bride and the mountain categorically during the Fall season. The elegant structure of the bridge intertwines with nature's eccentric beauty to proclaim an incredible aura.
Rainbow International Bridge in Niagara Falls
Staying in the US and not visiting the astonishing Niagara Falls, definitely a big miss. I am yet to visit the Falls from the Canada side, in my bucket list though. Nevertheless, be it US or Canada, you will be able to watch the iconic Rainbow International bridge. The reason being termed as iconic is that it connects as a gateway between the two prestigious cities of Niagara Falls – New York and Ontario in Canada. The arch structure of the bridge over the waters is an awe-struck and memorable view to engulf and cherish. I could not shift my eyes of watching such an incredible charisma I must say. The bridge was opened to the public in 1940. You can try for a helicopter tour if you can afford one. The reason being the bird's eye view of the bridge combined with the enormous falls is indeed a lifetime experience.
Zakim Bridge in Boston
One of the exceptionally architected and designed bridges in the world. Well as I had mentioned before, being stayed in the east coast of the US, Boston was also one of my preferred destinations. I had visited the city thrice, never to miss the breathtaking beauty of the Zakim bridge. There are 10 lanes and is conveniently wide for easy flow of traffic. The bridge has two towers with cables spreading across to form huge triangles replicating the sails of a ship. The design is a treat to the eyes and every time I visit the bridge I just stand quiet soaking myself into the vastness of its structural beauty. Last but not the least, Zakim bridge was constructed as a memorial and respect for Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill, a renowned civil rights activist.
I hope you have enjoyed reading about the bridges. Do share your experience of visiting suspension bridges in different parts of the world, would love to hear about them.
A travel enthusiast craving to explore the exotic destinations in the world, deciphering the mysteries and the thrill concealed in them.
