The Locust Creek Covered Bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. It is located approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) outside Hillsboro. The bridge is now for pedestrian traffic only.

History

R. N. Bruce was contracted in 1870 to build the wooden covered bridge for US$1,250. The Warren Double Intersection truss covered bridge was completed later that year. The span over Locust Creek was 13.5 feet (4.1 m) wide and 114 feet (35 m) long.[2]

In 1888, the original bridge was burned and replaced. In 1904 it was rebuilt again by W. M. Irvine. Interior supports, trusses, side paneling and roof were replaced during the reconstruction. In 1968, the bridge was painted and new oak floor was installed. Temporary supports used during the floor replacement were left in place.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981[1]

In 1990, the state of West Virginia bypassed the covered bridge with a modern concrete span.

In 2002, the covered bridge was renovated into a pedestrian crossing and the temporary supports were removed.

Théorie de la séduction

La théorie de la séduction (dite aussi neurotica) est une première théorie de Sigmund Freud, que celui-ci a élaborée entre 1895 et 1897, dans les débuts de la psychanalyse. Elle aura surtout permis à Freud de faire l'hypothèse du refoulement dans l'inconscient, au contact notamment des personnes hystériques. L'abandon par Freud de la théorie de la séduction en septembre 1897 marque « la naissance de la psychanalyse » (comme on a pu dire), avec le passage à la théorie...

Titius–Bode law

Discredited hypothesis about Solar System planets' orbits The Titius–Bode law (sometimes termed simply Bode's law) is a formulaic prediction of spacing between planets in any given planetary system. The formula suggests that, extending outward, each planet should be approximately twice as far from the Sun as the one before. The hypothesis correctly anticipated the orbits of Ceres (in the asteroid belt) and Uranus, but failed as a predictor of Neptune's orbit. It is named after Johann Daniel...
