A photo is being posted on social media showing an expansion joint at the Rio- Niterói Bridge , which has been mistaken for a crack. CCR Ponte clarifies that this opening is necessary and consists of a physical separation between the two parts of a structure, so that they can move without transmitting efforts between them. Every large bridge needs this type of opening to accommodate the movement of the structure due to thermal variations, avoiding undesirable stresses, which could cause cracks in the slabs and beams. There are several joints like this one along the Rio-Niterói Bridge. In the stretch over the sea, these openings occur every 400 meters, for the most part, and are about 13 centimeters wide. On the Rio and Niterói accesses, they occur every 30 meters, approximately, and have an opening of about three centimeters.

Jimmy Webb wrote most of Glen Campbell's hits.

waitingforgodo comments on Aug 22, 2021:

Only fitting that he's performing a song written by Frank Zappa. In the 2000s Webb talked more openly about his return to the Christian faith of his upbringing and the role it has played in his music. In addition to his cantata, The Animals' Christmas, he has always included religious songs in his albums—"Psalm One-Five-O", "Jerusalem", and "I Will Arise" are a few examples—and his lyrics have included biblical verses and allusions. In an October 2007 interview with Nigel Bovey, editor of The Salvation Army newspaper The War Cry, Webb was quite explicit about his renewed faith. I couldn't write a song without God. Sure, I could hack out hackneyed phrases and clichés, but to write anything meaningful I have to be in tune with God. He is the great source, my inspiration, the current that I have to connect to. Sadly I've not always used the gift He's given me—the answered prayer—as best as I could or should have. I've made mistakes. I've done things I wish I hadn't done.[34] Webb has stated, "I am a strong believer in God.... God is important to me. God is bigger than any one particular denomination. I don't like it when people try to confine Him. I don't put any limits on God." Webb reads the King James Version of the Bible.[34] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxSarBcsKLU
