Sandinista National Liberation Front - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch In the mid-1980s, under pressure from human rights organisations and widespread international condemnation, the Sandinista government acknowledged errors in its dealings with the Atlantic Coast and successfully negotiated an end to the southern front of the Contra war. The Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (Sandinista National Liberation Front) usually referred to as simply the Sandinistas or FSLN is a leftist political movement in Nicaragua.

Loader (equipment) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A loader, also called a front loader, front end loader or shovel, is a type of tractor, usually wheeled, that uses a wide square tilting bucket on the end of movable arms to lift and move material.

Loaders are used mainly for uploading sand, dirt and mud into trucks, clearing rubble and digging, though a loader is not the most efficient machine for digging as it cannot dig very deep below the level of its wheels, like a backhoe can. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Loader_(equipment)   (385 words)
