EVERY HUMAN MUST WATCH THESE PHOTOS
ONE PART OF THE WORLD WASTING THE FOOD
ANOTHER PART OF THE WORLD DOESNT HAVE FOOD TO RUN THEIR LIFE
DON'T waste FOOD any more........ ......... ......
DON'T waste FOOD any more,
DONATE to the needy
HEAL THE WORLD
There´s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You´ll find there´s no need to cry
In this place you´ll feel
There´s no hurt or sorrow
There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
Let this be remembered.. . each time we throw away Food!
Mc donalds who throw away food to keep freshness
these people don't have anything!
people who live in rich countries,, don't know this,, don't want to know
this,, never understand this!
but U, understand this ..............................

Hoover Dam Bypass . . .!!!!
THE WIDER VIEW: Taking shape, the new bridge at the Hoover Dam
Creeping closer inch by inch, 900 feet above the mighty Colorado River , the two sides of a $160 million bridge at the Hoover Dam slowly take shape.
The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself.
When complete, it will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona . In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face.
The arches are made up of 53 individual sections each 24 feet long which have been cast on-site and are being lifted into place using an improvised high-wire crane strung between temporary steel pylons.
The arches will eventually measure more than 1,000 feet across. At the moment, the structure looks like a traditional suspension bridge. But once the arches are complete, the suspending cables on each side will be removed. Extra vertical columns will then be installed on the arches to carry the road.
The bridge has become known as the Hoover Dam bypass, although it is officially called the Mike O'Callaghan- Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, after a former governor of Nevada and an American Football player from Arizona who joined the US Army and was killed in Afghanistan.
Work on the bridge started in 2005 and should finish next year. An estimated 17,000 cars and trucks will cross it every day.
The dam was started in 1931 and used enough concrete to build a road from New York to San Francisco . The stretch of water it created, Lake Mead , is 110 miles long and took six years to fill. The original road was opened at the same time as the famous dam in 1936.
An extra note: The top of the white band of rock in Lake Mead is the old waterline prior to the drought and development in the Las Vegas area. It is over 100 feet above the current water level.

Famous Bridges from Around the World
Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, USAA bridge is a structure built to span a valley, road, body of water, or other physical obstacle, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed, the material used to make it and the funds available to build it.
Most often bridges make us wonder how technology made possible their construction. They are a means of getting from one point to another but although we walk or drive on them (almost) daily, we don’t always stop to admire them.
Many bridges made history because of their uses, locations and popularity. Some of the most famous bridges in the world can be either walked across or climbed and some are open for the pedestrians for special occasions only.
Most of these bridges are also regarded as landmarks and are a vital part of the infrastructures of regions around the world. Some have even become city icons because of their influence and engineering wonder. Below is a list of the most famous bridges in the world.
Bosphorus Bridge, Istanbul, Turkey
Chain Bridge, Budapest, Hungary
Galata Bridge, Istanbul, Turkey
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, USA
Kintai Bridge, Iwakuni, Japan
Jacques Cartier Bridge, Montreal, Canada
Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney, Australia
Tower Bridge, London, England
Belive me realy it's a BOAT
Strand Craft 122– Amazing Boat Photos
The first thing which comes to mind observing this new mega-yacht from Gray Design is fast attack craft. Navy SEALs might find using the V12 supercar which shoots out the stern doors useful, or some type of Marine raider vehicle, obviously an ATV type. From the company, here is the Strand Craft 122 specifications:
* Engines-2xMTU 16V4000 4610 Hp
* Drives-2xRolls Royce KaMeWa 71S3
* Optional-Booster 5100 Hp Vericor TF 50/R-R KaMeWa Boost Waterjet
* Top speed-43 Kts
* With booster-53 Kts
* Length-38 m
* Width-7.5 m
* Draft-1.4 m
* Weight-120 tons
* Fuel-20,000 L
* Water-3000 L
It has four double and very large staterooms, heads, reception and salon areas and of course comfortable crew cabins. There are 52″ LED TV´s and Bang & Olufsen sounds systems in all rooms.
A couple things stand out to New Wars as far as military applications. One is its low profile which is a must attribute as far as stealth. The shallow draft also makes it an ideal littoral water streetfighter. The high speed could also come in handy to avoid anything larger which it can’t fight, for shoot and scoot strikes with missiles, and the Marine raider role I mentioned.
