&lt;b&gt;Charles Bridge&lt;/b&gt; is a famous historical bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau), the Charles Bridge used to be the most important connection between the Old Town, Prague Castle and adjacent areas until 1841. Also this 'solid-land' connection made Prague important as a trade route between east and west Europe. The bridge was originally called the Stone Bridge (Kamenný most) or the Prague Bridge (Pražský most) but has been the &amp;quot;Charles Bridge&amp;quot; since 1870.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;De Karelsbrug&lt;/b&gt; (Karlův most) is een beroemde brug over de  (Moldau) in Praag. De brug ligt in het district Praag 1 en verbindt de Oude Stad met de wijk Malá Strana. De constructie startte in 1357 onder koning Karel IV. Indertijd was het de enige verbinding om de rivier in Praag over te steken. Tot 1841 was het de belangrijkste verbinding tussen de Oude Stad en het kasteel van Praag. Oorspronkelijk was de naam 'de stenen brug' en sinds 1870 bekend onder de naam Karelsbrug.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/visbeek/2135393462/&quot; title=&quot;Clouded moon near side&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2316/2135393462_4840e366cf_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;216&quot; alt=&quot;Clouded moon near side&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fiveprime.org/blackmagic&quot;&gt;Please take your time... to View it large on black&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;Moon&lt;/b&gt; is in synchronous rotation, meaning that it keeps nearly the same face turned towards the Earth at all times. Early in the Moon's history, its rotation slowed and became locked in this configuration as a result of frictional effects associated with tidal deformations caused by the Earth. Long ago when the Moon spun much faster, its tidal bulge preceded the Earth-Moon line because it couldn't &amp;quot;snap back&amp;quot; its bulges quickly enough to keep its bulges in line with Earth. The rotation swept the bulge beyond the Earth-Moon line. This out-of-line bulge caused a torque, slowing the Moon spin, like a wrench tightening a nut. When the Moon's spin slowed enough to match its orbital rate, then the bulge always faced Earth, the bulge was in line with Earth, and the torque disappeared. That is why the Moon rotates at the same rate as it orbits and we always see the same side of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Photo taken of the moon's &amp;quot;near side&amp;quot; on 24th December 2007. Using my camera's maximum 18 x optical zoom or 648mm. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De &lt;b&gt;maan&lt;/b&gt; is, samen met de zon en de draaiing van de aarde, verantwoordelijk voor de getijdenwerking op de aarde. Deze getijdenwerking zorgt ervoor dat de draaisnelheid (rotatie) van de aarde langzaam afneemt. Van haar kant oefent de aarde ook getijdenwerking op de maan uit, maar wel van een orde grootte sterker. Hierdoor is de draaisnelheid van de maan al zo sterk afgenomen dat zij precies evenveel tijd nodig heeft om om haar eigen as te draaien, als éénmaal om de aarde (synchrone rotatie). Dat verklaart waarom we vanaf de aarde altijd dezelfde kant van de maan zien.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;White, limestones facades of the &lt;b&gt;Hotel the Ville&lt;/b&gt;, the Opera, the Grand Hotel and the museum Beaux Arts around the square in the center of Nancy. The statue in the center of the square is the man called Stanislas, the  generous and wealthy man of the Lorraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De witte, kalkstenen façades van het &lt;b&gt;Hôtel de Ville&lt;/b&gt;, de Opéra, het Grand Hôtel en het Musée de Beaux Arts omlijsten het plein. De tegels zijn een tint witter, twee zwarte diagonalen trekken er een kruis op. De uiterst barokke fonteinen met hun gouden hekwerken vragen om aandacht, evenals de vergulden lantaarns. Maar de indrukwekkende bolling van het plein en de diagonalen sturen de blik toch vooral naar de man die in het midden staat: het standbeeld van Stanislas, ‘weldoener’ van de Lorraine.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
