Forth Bridge

Originally uploaded by Andyrob

This magnificent historic rail bridge spans a wide section of the river Forth just north of Edinburgh. It’s high and long as well as large in structure, with huge stone pylons and massive steel or iron spans under both compression and tension to hold up the railway tracks with long goods trains passing through regularly decade after decade.
This doesn’t exactly dwarf Brunel’s earlier bridge over the Tamar, but it took engineering up to the maximum level for its time.

Freelancers ‘like being their own boss’
Freelance workers generally love being their own boss, and this is one of the bonuses cited by Journalism.co.uk’s latest Freelancer of the Fortnight, Caspar van Vark.

He said: “Some freelancers like being able to work in their pyjamas, but that’s not for me. I have a desk in a shared office and I put in normal days.

“What I love is being my own boss, and not answering to anyone. I also love the unpredictable nature of freelancing. Assignments can come out of the blue, and I enjoy the variety.”

Players and Officials – Andy Roberts

Cricinfo – Players and Officials – Andy Roberts
Deadpan and deadly. Wicket or boundary, not a flicker of emotion would be evident save a gunslinger’s narrowing of the eyes. Andy Roberts kept his emotions in check. But under the veneer was an intelligent cricketer with a fertile brain, plotting and planning the downfall of batsmen as if it were a military campaign. The modern West Indian game based on the heavy artillery of fast bowlers, that served so well for a quarter of a century, began with him.
