Click this link to make some cash for giving your opinion! https://www.inflcr.co/SHFo9 Thanks YouGov for sponsoring A bascule bridge (also referred to as a drawbridge or a lifting bridge) is a moveable bridge with a counterweight that continuously balances a span, or leaf, throughout its upward swing to provide clearance for boat traffic. It may be single- or double-leafed. The name comes from the French term for balance scale, which employs the same principle. Bascule bridges are the most common type of movable span because they open quickly and require relatively little energy to operate, while providing the possibility for unlimited vertical clearance for marine traffic.

Here are the videos from my friends at Planet Wild, in which they’re reviving a river after an eco disaster: https://planetwild.com/itshistory/5 or protecting the European Bison from extinction: https://planetwild.com/itshistory/1 The Crazy Horse Monument is a monumental sculpture located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. It is an ongoing work-in-progress that aims to depict the famous Oglala Lakota leader, Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The sculpture is being carved into Thunderhead Mountain and is designed to be the largest mountain carving in the world once completed. The idea for the Crazy Horse Monument was conceived in the 1930s by Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear, who wanted to honor Crazy Horse and the Native American culture. The project began in 1948 under the direction of sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, and since his passing in 1982, his family has continued the work. Unlike Mount Rushmore, which features the faces of four U.S. Presidents, the Crazy Horse Monument focuses on a Native American historical figure. The sculpture is intended to serve as a symbol of the indomitable spirit, bravery, and pride of the Native American people. The project remains a significant undertaking and is funded entirely through private donations and visitor fees. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the monument is still a work in progress, and the completion date is uncertain. However, it continues to attract visitors from around the world who come to witness the awe-inspiring creation and learn about the rich history and culture of the Lakota Sioux people.

Thanks to Established Titles for sponsoring this video! In early colonial times, letter writers sent their correspondence to friends, merchants, and Native Americans via foot or horseback. Most of this correspondence, however, was between the colonists and family members back home in England. In 1633, the first official notice of postal service in the colonies appeared. At the heart of the “mailing industry” is the U.S. Postal Service, which has been active for over two centuries. An explosion of mail in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century drove post offices and large-volume mailers to work together to handle mail more efficiently.

It is the largest collection of wrecks in the Western hemisphere, 230 United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation ships sunk in the river. It is without a doubt that the US is the strongest military power in the world, possessing the most extensive and advanced Armed Forces by some distance. As new military technologies are developed every day and the landscape of modern warfare seemingly changing faster than most are able to keep up with, it is a perfectly reasonable question to wonder what happens to the older military hardware that is now obsolete. As we have looked at on this channel before, old planes are often sent to Aircraft Maintenance facilities to be scrapped or kept in storage with the Tucson Boneyard being a good example of this. But what happens to the warships that are no longer needed? Well, there are numerous paths that an outdated ship can follow, but one popular destination for ships that the US Navy has no immediate use for is the Mallows Bay in the Potomac River. Here, there are hundreds of vessels laying dormant in the water waiting to be scrapped or sunk. This is commonly known as the Ghost Fleet of the Mallows. But just like each ship that is stored here, there exists an interesting and extensive history of this location that deserves to be explored.

Long history shot = Centralia is a borough and near-ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from more than 1,000 residents in 1980 to 63 by 1990, to only five in 2017[9]—a result of the coal mine fire which has been burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia, which is part of the Bloomsburg–Berwick metropolitan area, is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania.[10] It is completely surrounded by Conyngham Township. All real estate in the borough was claimed under eminent domain in 1992 and condemned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Centralia s ZIP code was discontinued by the Postal Service in 2002.[8] State and local officials reached an agreement with the seven remaining residents on October 29, 2013, allowing them to live out their lives there, after which the rights to their houses will be taken through eminent domain.

In legal history, an animal trial was the criminal trial of a non-human animal. Such trials are recorded as having taken place in Europe from the thirteenth century until the eighteenth. In modern times, it is considered in most criminal justice systems that non-human persons lack moral agency and so cannot be held culpable for an act. Animals, including insects, faced the possibility of criminal charges for several centuries across many parts of Europe. The earliest extant record of an animal trial is the execution of a pig in 1266 at Fontenay-aux-Roses.[1] Such trials remained part of several legal systems until the 18th century. Animal defendants appeared before both church and secular courts, and the offences alleged against them ranged from murder to criminal damage. Human witnesses were often heard and in ecclesiastical courts they were routinely provided with lawyers (this was not the case in secular courts, but for most of the period concerned, neither were human defendants). If convicted, it was usual for an animal to be executed, or exiled. However, in 1750, a female donkey was acquitted of charges of bestiality due to witnesses to the animal s virtue and good behaviour while her co-accused human was sentenced to death. Translations of several of the most detailed records can be found in E. P. Evans The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals, published in 1906. Sadakat Kadri s The Trial: Four Thousand Years of Courtroom Drama (Random House, 2006) contains another detailed examination of the subject. Kadri shows that the trials were part of a broader phenomenon that saw corpses and inanimate objects also face prosecution, and argues that an echo of such rituals survives in modern attitudes towards the punishment of children and the mentally ill. » JOIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR MORE HISTORY KNOWLEDGE!
