A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it.
The Oxford English Dictionary traces the origin of the word bridge to an Old English word brycg, of the same meaning. The word can be traced directly back to Proto-Indo-European *bʰrēw-. The word for the card game of the same name has a different origin.
The first bridges made by humans were probably spans of cut wooden logs or planks and eventually stones, using a simple support and crossbeam arrangement. Some early Americans used trees or bamboo poles to cross small caverns or wells to get from one place to another. A common form of lashing sticks, logs, and deciduous branches together involved the use of long reeds or other harvested fibers woven together to form a connective rope capable of binding and holding together the materials used in early bridges.

Hanging Bridge is a medieval bridge spanning the Hanging Ditch, which connected the rivers Irk and Irwell in Manchester, England. The first reference to the bridge was in 1343, when it was called Hengand Brigge, but the present structure was built in 1421, replacing an earlier bridge. Material taken from Manchester's Roman fort may have been used in its construction. It has been speculated that the Hanging Ditch may be of Roman origin, part of a defensive circuit between the rivers Irk and Irwell.
The name may derive from the Old English hen, meaning wild birds, and the Welsh gan, meaning between two hills. At its Irwell end, the Hanging Ditch was 120 feet (37 m) wide and 40 feet (12 m) deep. A stream flowed through the ditch, from the Irk to the Irwell – possibly the lost River Dene, which gave its name to Deansgate. The bridge has two arches and was built using sandstone from Collyhurst. It is 108 feet (33 m) long and 9 feet (2.7 m) wide. Hanging Bridge formed part of Manchester’s medieval defences, when it was the main route from Manchester to the cathedral, then a parish church.

Plot: Middlesbrough; sometime soon. Mayoral Candidate Ronnie Lord is on the verge of victory because of his popular stance on law and order and anti-social behaviour. His tough solutions are backed by the public; he's a 'local lad' and knows what he's talking about. But Ronnie has yet to play his trump card; a groundbreaking law and order initiative that would see every young person between the ages of 11 and 17 'tagged' and surveyed 24 hours a day. Ronnie hopes that the proposal will seal his victory while the secretive businessmen, Harris and Bridges, hope that the production of these surveillance devices will seal their fortunes. There's much at stake. And Harris and Bridges demand that Ronnie is above reproach, that he's seen to be 'whiter than white,' that there'll be no scandal to bring him down. And there isn't....not, that is, until his daughter, Sabrina, falls in love with 'Grangetown Lad,' Carl, whose best mate, Mark, has just been murdered in a drugs feud. What Harris and Bridges don't know is that Carl is just an ordinary lad trying to make a good reputation in a bad area. They don't know and they don't care. They know they have to act to preserve Ronnie's reputation and their own profit and so sanction a series of events that lead to more murder and chaos. It's against all this that Carl and Sabrina's love has to survive.

Plot: A foreword warns against the peril of yellow journalism, and the story illustrates it by following events in the upstate New York town of Cornwall after prominant financier George Ferguson is killed. Two types of New York City journalists descend on Cornwall, one interested in facts, the other in getting sensational "news". Mrs. Ferguson is known to have been friendly with a local banker. The Fergusons quarrel the evening he is killed (by "burglers", his wife tells the police later), and she is arrested, spurred on by the "bad" journalists, who also manage to badger the banker's wife into the hospital. Meanwhile, young Bruce Foster runs the Cornwall Courier, and shows the big city reporters how to dig out real news while they attempt to subvert justice for their own ends.

Learn about the BIGGEST of everything Monday, Wednesday, and Friday just subscribe! # 8 Vine Bridges of Iya Valley Japan isn’t just home to big cities like Tokyo and Kyoto; it is also home to mysterious and strange places. One example is the misty West Iya Valley which is full of overgrown trees, flora, and the precarious “vine bridges”. The story of how these bridges came to be are lost to history, but what we do know is that they are made by real-life vines intertwined with planks. The bridge is sturdy but there are nearly one-foot gaps in between the planks, so if you’re a little nervous about walking on a bridge made of plants, you might want to find another way through the...

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (https://www.youtube.com/editor)
Let down. This one won't happen
Night fell. Left us crashin'
Day breaks. There's no room for mistakes
Act fast. Hide your feelings
Truth played its part in stealing
No need. I want everything else
You took the words right off my tongue
Learned how to say them while we're young
And while the world is turnin'
Take time off while we're learnin'
I'm here to say the least
Don't get caught up in the thick of it, baby
Caught up in the thick of it, baby
Close call. The night's unfolding
Your word is all I'm holding
We're here. No chance for a reprieve
Wrong time to win me over
I'm in no shape to cover
Don't let my heart go straight to your head
You took the words right off my tongue
Learned how to say them while we're young
And while the world is turnin'
Take time off while we're learnin'
I'm here to say the least
Don't get caught up in the thick of it, baby
Caught up in the thick of it, baby
No bets. You want who you shouldn't get
Your eyes are a spinning set that take their time to break
Your sight is set on this lonely night
The loneliest girl in black and white, reads black or white
You're in. Not only because you're him
The loneliest boy I've seen, boy I've seen
You took the words right off my little tongue
Learned how to say them while we're young
And while the world is turnin'
Take time off while we're learnin'
I'm here to say the least
Don't get caught up in the thick of it, baby
Caught up in the thick of it, baby
And while the world is turnin'
Take time off while we're learnin'
I'm here to say the least
Don't get caught up in the thick of it, baby
