Мост Лонгфелло

Мост Лонгфелло (англ. Longfellow Bridge) — мост через реку Чарльз, соединяющий центральную часть Бостона (столицы американского штата Массачусетс) с Кембриджем. Через него проходит автодорога штата Массачусетс (четыре полосы, по две в каждую сторону), а также два железнодорожных пути, по которым курсируют поезда красной ветки Транспортного управления залива Массачусетс (МВТА, Red Line). Неофициальное название этого моста связано со специфической формой башенок, находящихся у центральной части моста — «соль и перец» (англ. Salt-and-Pepper Bridge) или «солонка и перечница» (англ. Salt-and-Pepper-Shaker Bridge). История С 1793 года на этом месте находился Западно-Бостонский мост (англ. The West Boston Bridge) через реку Чарльз, соединяющий Бостон и Кембридж. В 1898 году была создана комиссия, целью которой было подготовить создание нового Кембриджского моста. Хотя по правилам требовалось строить разводной мост, комиссии удалось добиться разрешения строить неразводящийся мост. Строительство началось в июле 1900 года, мост был открыт 3 августа 1906 года, а официальная церемония состоялась 31 июля 1907 года. Сначала этот мост носил название «Кембриджский мост» (англ. Cambridge Bridge), а в 1927 году он был переименован в «мост Лонгфелло», в честь американского поэта Генри Уодсворта Лонгфелло, который написал стихотворение «Мост» (The Bridge), посвящённое предшественнику этого моста — Западно-Бостонскому мосту. Мост был расширен в 1956 году и отремонтирован в 1959 году. Генеральная реконструкция моста Лонгфелло началась в 2010 году, и её первая фаза завершилась в январе 2012 года. С 2013 по 2016 год была проведена вторая, основная фаза генеральной реконструкции моста Лонгфелло. Конструкция Мост Лонгфелло — арочного типа. Он содержит 11 стальных арочных пролётов, которые поддерживаются 10 каменными опорами, а также двумя устоями по краям моста. Длина арочных пролётов варьируется от 57,5 м у середины моста до 30,9 м для самых крайних арок. Высота от поверхности воды («клиренс») — от 8,1 м у середины моста до 2,6 м для самых крайних опор. Самый высокий пролёт моста — центральный — окружён четырьмя башенками, установленными на выступающих краях центральных опор (длина каждой из которых — 57,3 м, а ширина — 16,3 м). Края центральных опор под башенками украшены резными фигурами из гранита. Внутри центральных башенок есть лестницы. Именно за форму этих башенок мост Лонгфелло получил неофициальное название «солонка и перечница». См. также Чарльз (река) Гарвардский мост Список мостов через реку Чарльз (англ.) Примечания
Peper-en-zoutstel

Een peper-en-zoutstel is een set van twee meestal gelijkvormige houders gevuld met peper en zout. Deze houders kunnen bij een maaltijd op tafel worden geplaatst en dienen om de smaakmakers desgewenst aan het voedsel toe te voegen. De houders worden vervaardigd uit uiteenlopende materialen zoals glas, hout, keramiek, metaal of kunststof. De strooiers kunnen los op tafel worden geplaatst, maar gaan vaak vergezeld van een bijpassende onderzetter of een standaard. Dat laatste doet zich veelal voor in restaurants, waar de standaard, afhankelijk van het soort eetgelegenheid of van de gekozen maaltijd, kan worden aangevuld met azijn, olijfolie, sambal en dergelijke. Een nieuwe ontwikkeling is dat in plaats van de gebruikelijke strooiers gebruikgemaakt kan worden van een zout- en pepermolen. Het peper-en-zoutstel is van oudsher een geliefd cadeau bij trouwerijen. Tevens leent het peper-en-zoutstel zich zeer goed voor grappige verwijzingen. Zo zijn er talloze sets te vinden gebaseerd op bijvoorbeeld bekende duo's, en natuurlijk de klassieke Yin en Yang ontwerpen welke tegelijkertijd een treffende verwijzing zijn naar peper en zout als de "Yin en yang van de keuken".

Bullitt Reservation

Das 262 Acres (1,1 km²) umfassende Naturschutzgebiet Bullitt Reservation befindet sich nahe der Stadt Ashfield im Nordwesten des Bundesstaats Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten.

Bullitt Foundation das 262 Acres (1,1 km²) große Teilstück an die Trustees of Reservations, um es zu erhalten und für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Schutzgebiet Das im Pioneer Valley gelegene Gebiet besteht aus einer Mixtur aus Feldern, landwirtschaftlichen Gebäuden, Waldflächen und Flüssen und ist Teil einer Vielzahl von geschützten, zusammenhängenden Landflächen mit einer Gesamtgröße von gut 3.000 Acres (12,1 km²).
