The Golden Gate Bridge spans 8,981 feet across the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean, connecting San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. Designed by engineer Joseph Strauss and architect Irving Morrow, it was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it opened on May 27, 1937. It has since been surpassed by eight other bridges, but still has the second longest suspension bridge main span in the United States after the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York.

Before the bridge was built, the only practical route across the Golden Gate was by boat, which held San Francisco’s growth rate below the national average. However, many experts believed that the 6,700-foot strait could not be bridged. It had strong swirling tides, strong winds, and reached depths of 500-feet at its center.

In 1916, former engineering student James Wilkins wrote an article with a proposed design for a crossing in the San Francisco Bulletin. The City Engineer estimated the cost at an impractical 0 million and challenged bridge engineers to reduce costs. Joseph Strauss, an ambitious but modestly accomplished engineer, responded with a plan for bookend cantilevers connected by a central suspension segment, which he promised could be built for million. Strauss spent the better part of the next decade drumming up support and construction began on January 5, 1933.

As chief engineer in charge, Strauss, with an eye towards self promotion downplayed the contributions of his collaborators who were largely responsible for the bridge’s final form Architect Irving Morrow designed the overall shape of the bridge towers, the lighting scheme and Art Deco elements, and used the International Orange color as a sealant. And Charles Alton Ellis, collaborating remotely with Leon Moisseiff, was the principal engineer, producing the basic structural design, introducing Moisseiff’s "deflection theory" by which a thin, flexible roadway would flex in the wind, greatly reducing stress by transmitting forces via suspension cables to the bridge towers

In 2007, the Golden Gate Bridge was ranked #5 on the AIA 150 America’s Favorite Architecture list.

Monster® Partners with Simplay Labs in an HDMI Educational Campaign
Companies announce a strategic marketing and R&D partnership to clear up confusion surrounding HDMI
BRISBANE, Calif., July 10, 2007 – Monster®, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-end cables, accessories, and power conditioning products, is proud to announce it has launched a strategic partnership with Simplay Labs to help educate retailers and consumers on the importance of higher performance standards set for HDMI certification.
“Consumers need to have confidence in what they buy,” said The Head Monster, Noel Lee. “Currently, there’s a lot of mis-information about HDMI, It’s confusing for a consumer to know which cable will work with not only current products, but also future generations of products.”
This partnership will include an educational initiative, including Monster’s support of Simplay Labs in trainings to the sales floor, a new line of Simplay HD verified HDMI cables from Monster, and a higher performance cable verification program that is currently in development by Simplay Labs.
“We always strive to build our cables above and beyond current specifications,” Lee added, “with Simplay HD’s strict testing and verification standards, consumers can understand the various levels of HDMI cable performance and select the right cables for their application.”
“The Simplay HD Testing Program verifies high definition components and cables for HDMI interoperability and connectivity,” explained Joseph Lias, President of Simplay Labs. “As a result, consumers can be confident when they see the Simplay HD logo, that their HD components and cables will perform as claimed and work together seamlessly. This is an outstanding opportunity for Simplay Labs and Monster to educate both retailers and consumers there are differences in cable designs, with high-performance cables going above and beyond the HDMI specification.”

Monster is the equivalent of Bose. Great marketing with mediocre products that are overpriced. I get my cables from Monoprice as do most audio/video enthusiast that know better.
