The Gunbarrel Road Construction Party (GRCP) was the name bestowed upon a team of road builders by Len Beadell in 1955, after which the well known outback track Gunbarrel Highway was named. Over a period of eight years, Beadell and the GRCP built more than 6,000 kilometres of dirt roads in remote areas of central Australia for the Weapons Research Establishment at Woomera, South Australia.By the time they had completed their work in December 1963, the GRCP had built eleven major roads in twenty-four separate stages across South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Background
In Len Beadell's book Beating about the Bush, he explained how the name of the party was derived. During many kilometres of driving around sand-ridges and spinifex hummocks, the mental picture of a corkscrew kept appearing before his mind's eye, when the word "straight" described what was desired. Suddenly the word "gunbarrel" representing something very straight materialised in his mind, so on return to camp, he announced to his team that they were to be known as the Gunbarrel Road Construction Party. This was well received by the men, and the name passed into folklore. He later joked, "It didn't matter that when we got to the sandhills, a more suitable name might have been 'The Corkscrew Road Construction Party'".Beadell's usual method for building roads was to carry out a solo reconnaissance in his Land Rover, bush-bashing through virgin scrub, referring to a magnetic compass for direction, and the vehicle's odometer for distance. When he had determined a feasible path he would return to camp and guide a bulldozer by standing on top of his vehicle while flashing reflected sunlight from a mirror towards the driver. Beadell joked that the bulldozer driver followed the flashing mirror for eight years and never caught it. If large sandhills intervened, flares fired from a pistol were substituted. Some reconnaissance forays took many days, hundreds of kilometres, and usually several punctured tyres. He used a theodolite to observe stars, the sun and the moon to accurately calculate his position which he termed an "astrofix".
If the path ahead consisted of thick scrub or trees, the bulldozer made the first pass with the blade above ground level to knock the scrub down, then returned with blade lowered to clear the debris. The next pass partially overlapped the first to widen the road. A grader would then make up to five passes over the freshly cleared track, followed by a "cherry-picker" to remove sticks, roots, or stones by hand.Beadell had built two roads prior to the formation of the GRCP. The first was from Mabel Creek station (west of Coober Pedy) to Emu Field (Feb-Mar 1953), the second was from Maralinga to Emu Field (Aug-Sep 1955). Bill Lloyd was then a member of his road building team. In November 1955 the first members of the GRCP, all hand-picked by Beadell, rendezvoused near Coober Pedy with their vehicles and equipment to start work.The convoy consisted of three trucks, two Land Rovers, a grader, a bulldozer and several trailers. Led by Len Beadell, the convoy made its way to Victory Downs just over the border in the Northern Territory to begin construction of the Gunbarrel Highway, the first east-west road across central Australia.
Personnel
The original personnel of the GRCP were:
Len Beadell - Surveyor and Leader
Doug Stoneham - D8 Bulldozer
Scotty Boord - Grader
Bill Lloyd - Supply driver
Rex Flatman - General mechanic
Willy Appleton - Cherry-picker
Paul Christensen - CookThere were subsequent changes in the composition of the GRCP which included Frank Quinn as supply driver, Shorty Williams as grader driver, Eric Graefling as Cherry-picker. Two other cooks were briefly employed, Cyril Koch and Tom Roberts, but Paul Christensen was the longest serving cook.
On completion of road building in November 1963, the Gunbarrel Road Construction Party's grader, a Caterpillar No 12 Model S8T, was retired from duty at Giles Weather Station. It was driven to Giles by Doug Stoneham when the Talawana Track was finished. Doug Stoneham had left the GRCP in 1960 to get married, but returned in 1963 to operate the grader. In 1988 Len Beadell drove the grader into its final home for preservation, a steel cage.The D8 Caterpillar bulldozer that was used to build the Gunbarrel Highway was left at Carnegie Station by Doug Stoneham when the road was finished. Other D7 cable bulldozers were used to build subsequent roads. The whereabouts of the D8 dozer was a mystery for some years, but when an article in Australian Geographic was published in 1995, its owner Bill McLay from Perth WA recognised a photograph of it. Dick Smith the founder of Australian Geographic, purchased it from Mr McLay.

The Gunbarrel Road Construction Party (GRCP) was the name bestowed upon a team of road builders by Len Beadell in 1955, after which the well known outback track Gunbarrel Highway was named. Over a period of eight years, Beadell and the GRCP built more than 6,000 kilometres of dirt roads in remote areas of central Australia for the Weapons Research Establishment at Woomera, South Australia.By the time they had completed their work in December 1963, the GRCP had built eleven major roads in twenty-four separate stages across South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Background
In Len Beadell's book Beating about the Bush, he explained how the name of the party was derived. During many kilometres of driving around sand-ridges and spinifex hummocks, the mental picture of a corkscrew kept appearing before his mind's eye, when the word "straight" described what was desired. Suddenly the word "gunbarrel" representing something very straight materialised in his mind, so on return to camp, he announced to his team that they were to be known as the Gunbarrel Road Construction Party. This was well received by the men, and the name passed into folklore. He later joked, "It didn't matter that when we got to the sandhills, a more suitable name might have been 'The Corkscrew Road Construction Party'".Beadell's usual method for building roads was to carry out a solo reconnaissance in his Land Rover, bush-bashing through virgin scrub, referring to a magnetic compass for direction, and the vehicle's odometer for distance. When he had determined a feasible path he would return to camp and guide a bulldozer by standing on top of his vehicle while flashing reflected sunlight from a mirror towards the driver. Beadell joked that the bulldozer driver followed the flashing mirror for eight years and never caught it. If large sandhills intervened, flares fired from a pistol were substituted. Some reconnaissance forays took many days, hundreds of kilometres, and usually several punctured tyres. He used a theodolite to observe stars, the sun and the moon to accurately calculate his position which he termed an "astrofix".
If the path ahead consisted of thick scrub or trees, the bulldozer made the first pass with the blade above ground level to knock the scrub down, then returned with blade lowered to clear the debris. The next pass partially overlapped the first to widen the road. A grader would then make up to five passes over the freshly cleared track, followed by a "cherry-picker" to remove sticks, roots, or stones by hand.Beadell had built two roads prior to the formation of the GRCP. The first was from Mabel Creek station (west of Coober Pedy) to Emu Field (Feb-Mar 1953), the second was from Maralinga to Emu Field (Aug-Sep 1955). Bill Lloyd was then a member of his road building team. In November 1955 the first members of the GRCP, all hand-picked by Beadell, rendezvoused near Coober Pedy with their vehicles and equipment to start work.The convoy consisted of three trucks, two Land Rovers, a grader, a bulldozer and several trailers. Led by Len Beadell, the convoy made its way to Victory Downs just over the border in the Northern Territory to begin construction of the Gunbarrel Highway, the first east-west road across central Australia.
Personnel
The original personnel of the GRCP were:
Len Beadell - Surveyor and Leader
Doug Stoneham - D8 Bulldozer
Scotty Boord - Grader
Bill Lloyd - Supply driver
Rex Flatman - General mechanic
Willy Appleton - Cherry-picker
Paul Christensen - CookThere were subsequent changes in the composition of the GRCP which included Frank Quinn as supply driver, Shorty Williams as grader driver, Eric Graefling as Cherry-picker. Two other cooks were briefly employed, Cyril Koch and Tom Roberts, but Paul Christensen was the longest serving cook.

The OTO Mod. 42 is an incendiary anti-tank hand grenade supplied to the Royal Italian Army during World War II.
History
The Royal Army had entered the war without an anti-tank bomb of national production. Only when the war began, in 1942, two models were built: the Breda Mod. 42 and the OTO Mod. 42.
Features
The fuze consist of a normal OTO Mod. 35 hand grenade that is internally threaded and screwed to an aluminum handle which connects to the body bomb. The body is a glass container loaded with flamethrower liquid and gasoline, which shattered upon impact or at the moment of activation of the detonator. The project comes from handmade explosives built on the field by soldiers joining a normal OTO Mod. 35 with bottles filled with flammable liquid.
Soldiers were trained to hit the air vents of the tank's engine, in order to make penetrate the incendiary liquid before ignition.

The Bleicherode Hills (German: Bleicheröder Berge or Bleicheroder Berge) in the counties of Nordhausen and Eichsfeld in North Thuringia are the east-southeastern foothills of the Ohm Hills in the Lower Eichsfeld. They reach a maximum height of 460.8 m above sea level (NHN) at the summit of the Ziegenrück. Together with the Ohm Hills they cover an area of about 76 km² of which the Bleicherode Hills make up roughly 16 km² of the total landscape area.
Location
The heavily wooded Bleicherode Hills are located between Buhla and Kraja to the north, Bleicherode to the east, Sollstedt to the south, Breitenworbis in the southwest and Haynrode to the northwest. They rise between the Krajaer Bach (a tributary of the River Bode) and the Bode to the north and the Wipper to the south. To the southeast is the Hainleite, to the south the Dün, whilst roughly to the southwest is the der Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werra Valley Nature Park. Their highest hill, the Ziegenrück, is situated about 1 km south-southeast of Buhla.
Flora and fauna
Beech and, to a lesser extent, pine are the predominant trees growing on the muschelkalk soil of the Bleicherode Hills. Amongst the many rare plant and animal species are 14 native species of orchid. It is also the northernmost location for the juneberry. In addition there is a very interesting group of rare mixed wood species like limes and Scots elms as well as a large a population of yews. Amongst the species of fungi occurring here are: king boletes, bay boletes and St. George's mushrooms. Roe deer and wild boar, red fox, hare, great spotted and green woodpeckers and the rare red kite have also made their home in this protected area.
Tourism
The Bleicherode Hills are a popular destination for locals and visitors to Bleicherode and the surrounding settlements. One particular attraction is the August Petermann nature educational trail. At various stations it gives interesting insights into the natural world.
Hills
The peaks of the Bleicherode Hills in its narrower sense include the following – with heights in metres above sea level (NHN):
Ziegenrück (460.8 m), highest point of the Bleicherode Hills; near Buhla
Krajaer Kopf (459.7 m), south of Kraja
namenlos (453.1 m), in the centre
Egelskopf (446.9 m), north of Wülfingerode
Gebraer Kopf (446.8 m), northwest of Obergebra
Windolfskopf (433 m), site of the old Löwenburg castle west of Bleicherode
Teichkopf (430.7 m), north of SollstedtThe following outliers are also counted as part of the Bleicherode Hills:
Hasenburg (487,4 m), north of Buhla
Haarburg (453.1 m), site of the old Harburg castle, southeast of Haynrode
Hubenberg (453.1 m), southwest of Buhla
Rivers and streams
The rivers and streams of the Bleicherode Hills include the:
Bode, which rises in the Ohm Hills, heads eastwards, passes the Bleicherode Hills to the northeast and forms a southwestern tributary of the Wipper
Krajaer Bach, which rises in the Ohm Hills, heads eastwards, passes the Bleicherode Hills to the north and forms a southwestern tributary of the Bode
Wipper, which rises in the southern part of the Ohm Hills, heads eastwards, passes the Bleicherode Hills to the south and forms a western tributary of the UnstrutSmaller streams also rise in the Bleicherode Hills, such as the Bleibach near Bleicherode and the Friede (crossed by the A 38's Friede Viaduct) near Sollstedt.

Comotechna ludicra is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1920. It is found in Guyana.The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey with the costal area from the base to a small transverse whitish spot at three-fourths suffused with whitish, towards the base with one or two very oblique grey lines, in the middle with a very oblique yellow-ochreous streak edged with dark grey and beyond this an oblique dark grey wedge-shaped mark. Beneath this is a yellow-whitish longitudinal line from the base nearly to the middle more or less developed and there is a rather oblique slightly incurved dark fuscous obscurely whitish-edged narrow fasciate streak from the dorsum at one-fourth crossing two-thirds of the wing, and a similar more strongly marked and broader streak from the middle of the dorsum. A third is found from three-fourths, it is only indicated by whitish marginal suffusion and is shorter. There is also some whitish-ochreous mottling in the disc towards the termen and a leaden-grey shade crosses the wing obliquely from the costa before the apex to the termen, then along the termen to the tornus, where it is preceded by an elongate dark fuscous mark. The hindwings are dark fuscous, somewhat lighter towards the base, appearing finely granulated.

Markenfield Hall is an early 14th-century moated manor house about 3 miles (5 km) south of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Markenfield Hall, which in 2015 had an estimated population of 10. The estate was an extra parochial area in the wapentake of Burghshire. It was made a civil parish (spelt Markingfield Hall) in 1858. On 11 November 2011 the parish was renamed to Markenfield Hall. It was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, when under the Local Government Act 1972 it became part of the new county of North Yorkshire. It is part of the Borough of Harrogate.
House and park
The house is an L-shaped castellated block, with a great hall that stands above an undercroft and was originally reached by an exterior stone staircase. It is lit by two double-light windows with quatrefoil transom under their arched heads. The house is defended by a moat, which is crossed by one bridge that is guarded by a 16th-century Tudor gatehouse. The house, including the gatehouse, is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Monument.Several acres of land to the west and north of the house are emparked. The hall, adjoining land, and park pale are a Scheduled Ancient Monument listed as "Markenfield Hall moated medieval fortified house with associated service buildings and park pale".Most years, the house is open for public tours in the afternoons for several weeks in May and June, and the property is also marketed as a wedding venue. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom however, the Hall and grounds remained temporarily closed as of June 2020 but the owners expected to be able to reopen in July, with tours not exceeding ten persons at a time on specific dates.
History
The Domesday Book records two households at Markenfield in 1086.In 1150 the estate was held by the Le Bret family who had a house there and adopted the name de Markenfield.
The present house was built for John de Markenfield, an associate of Piers Gaveston and a servant of Edward II. The Crown granted a licence to crenellate Markenfield in 1310, the same year that John was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Thomas Markenfield was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1484 and fought on the side of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. In 1569 Thomas de Markenfield was involved in the pro-Catholic Rising of the North and fled to the Continent. Markenfield was confiscated and granted to Thomas Egerton, Master of the Rolls.
Egerton never made Markenfield his main home. It devolved to a rented farmhouse but retained its features. In 1761 Fletcher Norton, 1st Baron Grantley bought the house, replaced the roof of the Great Hall and ensured that the house was structurally sound once more. Little is known about the chapel after 1569 but in the 1880s, it was used to store grain. More recently, the chapel was fully restored. The property descended to the 7th Baron Grantley, John Richard Brinsley, who began a restoration project in 1980 to convert the hall from a farmhouse into a family home.
The historic listing summary (not recently updated) provides this description of the Hall and its modifications:Fortified manor house, with offices and outbuildings. 1310-1323 for John de Markenfield, with late C16 additions and alterations for Sir Thomas Egerton. Further alterations c1780 for Sir Fletcher Norton first Baron Grantley of Markenfield, and C1850 by J R Walbran for the fourth Lord Grantley. Restoration 1981-4 by J S Miller for seventh Lord Grantley.
The major restoration started in 1980 was completed in 2008 although smaller restoration projects were expected to continue until about 2030.

Markenfield Hall is an early 14th-century moated manor house about 3 miles (5 km) south of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Markenfield Hall, which in 2015 had an estimated population of 10. The estate was an extra parochial area in the wapentake of Burghshire. It was made a civil parish (spelt Markingfield Hall) in 1858. On 11 November 2011 the parish was renamed to Markenfield Hall. It was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, when under the Local Government Act 1972 it became part of the new county of North Yorkshire. It is part of the Borough of Harrogate.
House and park
The house is an L-shaped castellated block, with a great hall that stands above an undercroft and was originally reached by an exterior stone staircase. It is lit by two double-light windows with quatrefoil transom under their arched heads. The house is defended by a moat, which is crossed by one bridge that is guarded by a 16th-century Tudor gatehouse. The house, including the gatehouse, is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Monument.Several acres of land to the west and north of the house are emparked. The hall, adjoining land, and park pale are a Scheduled Ancient Monument listed as "Markenfield Hall moated medieval fortified house with associated service buildings and park pale".Most years, the house is open for public tours in the afternoons for several weeks in May and June, and the property is also marketed as a wedding venue. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom however, the Hall and grounds remained temporarily closed as of June 2020 but the owners expected to be able to reopen in July, with tours not exceeding ten persons at a time on specific dates.
History
The Domesday Book records two households at Markenfield in 1086.In 1150 the estate was held by the Le Bret family who had a house there and adopted the name de Markenfield.
The present house was built for John de Markenfield, an associate of Piers Gaveston and a servant of Edward II. The Crown granted a licence to crenellate Markenfield in 1310, the same year that John was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Thomas Markenfield was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1484 and fought on the side of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. In 1569 Thomas de Markenfield was involved in the pro-Catholic Rising of the North and fled to the Continent. Markenfield was confiscated and granted to Thomas Egerton, Master of the Rolls.
Egerton never made Markenfield his main home. It devolved to a rented farmhouse but retained its features. In 1761 Fletcher Norton, 1st Baron Grantley bought the house, replaced the roof of the Great Hall and ensured that the house was structurally sound once more. Little is known about the chapel after 1569 but in the 1880s, it was used to store grain. More recently, the chapel was fully restored. The property descended to the 7th Baron Grantley, John Richard Brinsley, who began a restoration project in 1980 to convert the hall from a farmhouse into a family home.
The historic listing summary (not recently updated) provides this description of the Hall and its modifications:Fortified manor house, with offices and outbuildings. 1310-1323 for John de Markenfield, with late C16 additions and alterations for Sir Thomas Egerton. Further alterations c1780 for Sir Fletcher Norton first Baron Grantley of Markenfield, and C1850 by J R Walbran for the fourth Lord Grantley. Restoration 1981-4 by J S Miller for seventh Lord Grantley.
The major restoration started in 1980 was completed in 2008 although smaller restoration projects were expected to continue until about 2030. A restoration of the Gatehouse and Farmhouse gardens started in 2014 with a new replanting in 2015.

Markenfield Hall is an early 14th-century moated manor house about 3 miles (5 km) south of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Markenfield Hall, which in 2015 had an estimated population of 10. The estate was an extra parochial area in the wapentake of Burghshire. It was made a civil parish (spelt Markingfield Hall) in 1858. On 11 November 2011 the parish was renamed to Markenfield Hall. It was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, when under the Local Government Act 1972 it became part of the new county of North Yorkshire. It is part of the Borough of Harrogate.
House and park
The house is an L-shaped castellated block, with a great hall that stands above an undercroft and was originally reached by an exterior stone staircase. It is lit by two double-light windows with quatrefoil transom under their arched heads. The house is defended by a moat, which is crossed by one bridge that is guarded by a 16th-century Tudor gatehouse. The house, including the gatehouse, is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Monument.Several acres of land to the west and north of the house are emparked. The hall, adjoining land, and park pale are a Scheduled Ancient Monument listed as "Markenfield Hall moated medieval fortified house with associated service buildings and park pale".Most years, the house is open for public tours in the afternoons for several weeks in May and June, and the property is also marketed as a wedding venue. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom however, the Hall and grounds remained temporarily closed as of June 2020 but the owners expected to be able to reopen in July, with tours not exceeding ten persons at a time on specific dates.
History
The Domesday Book records two households at Markenfield in 1086.In 1150 the estate was held by the Le Bret family who had a house there and adopted the name de Markenfield.
The present house was built for John de Markenfield, an associate of Piers Gaveston and a servant of Edward II. The Crown granted a licence to crenellate Markenfield in 1310, the same year that John was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Thomas Markenfield was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1484 and fought on the side of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. In 1569 Thomas de Markenfield was involved in the pro-Catholic Rising of the North and fled to the Continent. Markenfield was confiscated and granted to Thomas Egerton, Master of the Rolls.
Egerton never made Markenfield his main home. It devolved to a rented farmhouse but retained its features. In 1761 Fletcher Norton, 1st Baron Grantley bought the house, replaced the roof of the Great Hall and ensured that the house was structurally sound once more. Little is known about the chapel after 1569 but in the 1880s, it was used to store grain. More recently, the chapel was fully restored. The property descended to the 7th Baron Grantley, John Richard Brinsley, who began a restoration project in 1980 to convert the hall from a farmhouse into a family home.
The historic listing summary (not recently updated) provides this description of the Hall and its modifications:Fortified manor house, with offices and outbuildings. 1310-1323 for John de Markenfield, with late C16 additions and alterations for Sir Thomas Egerton. Further alterations c1780 for Sir Fletcher Norton first Baron Grantley of Markenfield, and C1850 by J R Walbran for the fourth Lord Grantley. Restoration 1981-4 by J S Miller for seventh Lord Grantley.
The major restoration started in 1980 was completed in 2008 although smaller restoration projects were expected to continue until about 2030. A restoration of the Gatehouse and Farmhouse gardens started in 2014 with a new replanting in 2015. The final garden restoration started in 2016 and was completed in 2018.A news item about the property in May 2019 provided an update with photographs of the interior. The occupant at that time was Lady Deirdre, known as Lady Grantley for some years (née Deirdre Elisabeth Mary Freda Hare) and more recently, as Lady Deirdre Curteis, widow of the 7th Lord Grantley, who had passed away in 1995. Lady Deirdre married her current husband, Ian Bayley Curteis, the dramatist and television director, in 2001. The ceremony was held in the chapel which had been restored and refurnished by that time; this was the first wedding to be held there since 1487. Ian Curteis died on 24 November 2021, aged 88.
Toponym
The place name was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Merchefeld. The name is probably from Old English mercinga "of the boundary people" and feld "open land", so meaning "open field of the boundary people". The first element is the same as that of the name of the nearby settlement of Markington. The forms Markingfield (first recorded in the 12th century) and Markenfield (first recorded in the 13th century) are both ancient, and it is not clear which is the older version. The form Markenfield came to be attached to the family which lived there in the Middle Ages. In the 19th century both forms were used both for the Hall and for the eponymous extra-parochial area which became the civil parish.

Wei Heng (Chinese: 卫恒; 1915 – 29 January 1967), also known as Wei Laiyu (魏来玉), was a Chinese Communist revolutionary and politician from Shanxi province. He was the Communist Party First Secretary and top leader of Shanxi province until he was overthrown by the rebel Red Guards at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. He was tortured and committed suicide in January 1967.
Early life
Wei Heng was born in 1915 to a poor peasant family in Shapochi village (沙泊池) in Lingchuan County, Shanxi province. His father Wang Changju (王长居) was a manual labourer who struggled to make ends meet, and Wei Heng was adopted by a relative surnamed Wei in a neighbouring village. Wei attended primary and secondary school and then became a primary school teacher. However, his adoptive father began to gamble and smoke opium, and the Wei family fortunes began to gradually decline.
Career
After the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out, Wei Heng joined the Communist Red Army in January 1938. He served as a guerrilla fighter and later political operative in his native Shanxi. He joined the Communist Party of China in October 1938, and was selected as a delegate to the 7th National Congress of the Communist Party held in Yan'an in 1945. He took part in the Yan'an Rectification Movement.After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Wei served in a series of leadership posts in locales in Shanxi province, including a stint as Party Secretary of Yuncheng. In April 1952, Wei Heng began working as part of the Communist Party's Shanxi Provincial Committee as head of its Organization Department, and then the provincial Secretary for Commission for Discipline Inspection. He became the provincial governor, and by June 1965 began serving as First Secretary (i.e. top leader) of the province.
Downfall and death
Beginning with the 1967 January Storm at the early stage of the Cultural Revolution, the radical Red Guards started an intense wave of power seizures all over China, with the encouragement of the Central Cultural Revolution Group. The radicals toppled provincial governments and established revolutionary committees. In Shanxi, Wei Heng was outmaneuvered by his deputy Liu Geping, a Muslim who had the personal support of Mao Zedong and especially Kang Sheng, as well as top leaders of the Shanxi Military District. Liu became the leader of the Shanxi General Command of Revolutionary Rebels, and seized power of the Shanxi provincial government on January 12.Wei Heng was detained by the Red Guards and held in solitary confinement on January 15. He was tortured by the rebels and committed suicide on January 29. He was the third provincial-level chief to choose suicide as an escape from torture, after Wan Xiaotang of Tianjin and Yan Hongyan of Yunnan. On January 25, the People's Daily published an editorial celebrating the power seizure in Shanxi, and the national government certified the Shanxi Revolutionary Committee on March 28.
Rehabilitation
After the end of the Cultural Revolution, provincial party authorities posthumously rehabilitated Wei in January 1979. In June 1985, the party "completely vindicated" Wei Heng and denounced his persecution.

Bu Laʻia (born as Shawn Kaui Hill in Waimanalo, Hawaii) is a Hawaiian comedian known for his use of Hawaiian pidgin and for wearing a large "afro style" wig and blacking out one of his front teeth while performing. He starred in a cable television show in the early 1990s and released two comic musical albums entitled False Crack??? And Hawaii's Most Wanted. He also attained fame—or notoriety—when he ran for governor of Hawaiʻi in 1994 (when he was too young to legally do so) and again as a member of the Natural Law Party in 2002. He also attracted attention when he was arrested for riding a skateboard at Honolulu International Airport. Bu is pidgin for "Bull". The name "Bu Laʻia" is a homophone of "Bull Liar", a phrase meaning "an outrageous liar". His name is reminiscent of the character created by Hawaiian comedian Kent Bowman, “K.K. Kaumanua” (K.K. Cow–Manure) famous for his "Pidgin English Children's Stories," although Bowman's character uses the pidgin English of an earlier generation.

The Wollombi Brook bridge is a heritage-listed road bridge that carries Putty Road across the Wollombi Brook at Bulga, New South Wales, Australia. The bridge was designed by Harvey Dare and built in 1912. The bridge is owned by Transport for NSW. The bridge was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000.
History
Timber truss bridges
Timber truss road bridges have played a significant role in the expansion and improvement of the New South Wales road network. Prior to the bridges being built, river crossings were often dangerous in times of rain, which caused bulk freight movement to be prohibitively expensive for most agricultural and mining produce. Only the high priced wool clip of the time was able to carry the costs and inconvenience imposed by the generally inadequate river crossings that often existed prior to the trusses construction.Timber truss bridges were preferred by the NSW Public Works Department from the mid 19th to the early 20th century because they were relatively cheap to construct, and used mostly local materials. The financially troubled governments of the day applied pressure to the NSW Public Works Department to produce as much road and bridge work for as little cost as possible, using local materials. This condition effectively prohibited the use of iron and steel, as these, prior to the construction of the steel works at Newcastle in the early 20th century, had to be imported from England.Harvey Dare, the designer of Dare truss and other bridges, was a leading engineer in the Public Works Department, and a prominent figure in early 20th century NSW.Timber truss bridges, and timber bridges generally were so common that NSW was known to travellers as the "timber bridge state".
Wollombi Brook bridge
The bridge was built in 1911-12 by William Murphy and James Taylor over what was then known as Cockfighter Creek.In 2003-04, emergency works were undertaken including pier replacement, driving of new piles and a second row of piles.
Description
Bulga Bridge is a Dare-type timber truss road bridge. It has two timber truss spans, each of 32 metres (105 ft). There are three timber approach spans at one end and two at the other giving the bridge an overall length of 129 metres (424 ft). The super structure is supported by sheeted timber trestles and provides a carriageway with a minimum width of 5.5 metres (18 ft). A timber post and rail guard rail extends the full length of the bridge. The underside of the bridge deck has been strengthened with steel tension ties.
Heritage listing
The Bulga Bridge is a Dare-type timber truss bridge, and was completed in 1912. In 1998 it was in good condition. As a timber truss road bridge, it has many associational links with important historical events, trends, and people, including the expansion of the road network and economic activity throughout NSW, and Harvey Dare, the designer of this type of truss. Dare trusses were fifth in the five stage design evolution of NSW timber truss road bridges. They were similar to Allan trusses, but contain improvements which make them stronger and easier to maintain. This engineering enhancement represents a significant evolution of the design of timber truss bridges, and gives Dare trusses some technical significance.The Bulga Bridge is particularly technically significant because it has very large supporting trestles, has the rare feature of trussed cross girders, and is the largest span Dare truss bridge built. The bridge is located in the Hunter region, which has 15 historic bridges each constructed before 1905, and it gains heritage significance from its proximity to the high concentration of other historic bridges in the area. In 1998 there were 27 surviving Dare trusses in NSW of the 40 built, and 82 timber truss road bridges survive from the over 400 built. The Bulga Bridge is a representative example of Dare timber truss road bridges, and is assessed as being Nationally significant, primarily on the basis of its technical and historical significance.The Bulga Bridge over Wollombi Brook was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000 having satisfied the following criteria.The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.
Through the bridge's association with the expansion of the NSW road network, its ability to demonstrate historically important concepts such as the gradual acceptance of NSW people of American design ideas, and its association with Harvey Dare, it has historical significance.The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
The bridge exhibits the technical excellence of its design, as all of the structural detail is clearly visible. In the context of its landscape it is visually attractive. As such, the bridge has moderate aesthetic significance.The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
Timber truss bridges are prominent to road travellers, and NSW has in the past been referred to as the "timber truss bridge state". Through this, the complete set of bridges gain some social significance, as they could be said to be held in reasonable esteem by many travellers in NSW.The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
Highly rare - contains several important technical features.The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.

Anna's Hope Village is an administrative sub-district of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.
History
A sugar plantation on the site was formerly known as Robinson's Plantings. In around 1780, it was acqiored by Count Bertram Peter de Nully (c. 1719 -1771), the son of Pierre Bertram de Nully from Martinique. The family was originally from the Netherlands to St. Eustace. He would later marry Catharine Heyliger (1721-1799), the daughter of planter and governor and St. Croix Pieter Heyliger. Robinson's Platings was renamed Anna's Hope after their daughter Anna (1747-1785). She was married to Nicholas Cruger. They had three children: Bertram Peter Cruger; Catherine Bard and Elizabeth Cruger.

Highway 20 is a major road intended for travel by the public between Highway 11 Lumsden to Highway 3 at Birch Hills. Saskatchewan's main roadways are located in the central/southern geographical land area of rolling prairie and grass land in a western Canadian prairie province. This highway is one which runs south to north and is located just east of Saskatoon and just north of Regina. At the northern extremity near Lanigan, the highway helps to service the PCS Lanigan potash mining operation. Down south, the highway is popular for tourists heading out to the Qu'Appelle Valley and resorts and beaches of Last Mountain Lake.
History
On September 26, 2000 Highway 20 saw construction in resurfacing the highway for 6.6 km just north of Lanigan
June 20, 2001, another resurfacing project resulted in improvements to a 12.9 km section of Highway 20 just north of Guernsey. It was just north of the Highway 16 junction, and northward and cost an estimated $800,000.
Major attractions
20 Feet (6.1 Metres) high Whooping Crane named Walter was built April 1987 by the side of Highway 20 near Govan
Basin and Middle Lakes Migratory Bird Sanctuary
Lucien Lake Regional Park near the village of Middle Lake

Tibetans have been in Switzerland (German: Tibeter in der Schweiz; Standard Tibetan: སུའེ་ཙེར་གྱི་བོད་རིགས་) since the 1960s, when the Swiss Red Cross helped resettle 300 Tibetans in Switzerland. In addition, approximately 150 Tibetan orphans were adopted by Swiss families.
A number of Tibetans settled in the mountains of the Swiss Alps, because of its homelike terrain. The Tibetan children had some difficulty in school, due to the massive language barrier between German and Tibetan. But soon enough, the Tibetans were able to gain enough fluency in German, and were able to sit in the same class as regular Swiss children. Many of these Tibetan children would assimilate into the Swiss society, and would become "culturally confused". Some Swiss people even learned to speak in some Tibetan.In 1968, in the village of Rikon im Tösstal, the Tibet Institute Rikon was established. It is the only Tibetan monastery in Switzerland.
With over 4,000 residing in the country in 2011, Tibetans make up the second largest Asian immigrant group in Switzerland, right behind Filipinos.In the Tibetan diaspora, the Swiss community is the largest in Europe and one of the largest outside of the Himalayas and United States.
In 2018, the community numbered 8,000 individuals.

He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves. Tomlin was drafted by the Indians in the 19th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. He made his MLB debut in 2010. He is known for his low walk rate. He has been to the World Series twice, winning one with the 2021 Atlanta Braves, and losing one with the 2016 Cleveland Indians.
Career
Tomlin was coached by his father until he began playing high school baseball. Tomlin attended Whitehouse High School, Angelina College, and Texas Tech University. He was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 11th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign.
Cleveland Indians
Tomlin was drafted again by the Cleveland Indians in the 19th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft, and did sign. Since 2006, he has played with various minor league baseball teams including the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Lake County Captains, Kinston Indians, Buffalo Bisons, and Columbus Clippers.
At Columbus, Tomlin went 8–4 with a 2.68 ERA in 20 appearances, including 17 starts. He has an overall minor-league record of 51–24 with a 3.20 ERA.
Tomlin was promoted to the Indians to make his major league debut against the New York Yankees on July 27, 2010, where he outpitched the Yankees' CC Sabathia, earning a 4–1 win. In 12 starts for the Indians, Tomlin went 6-4 with a 4.56 ERA in 73 innings. In 2011, Tomlin pitched most of the season in the Indians rotation, finishing with a record of 12-7 in 26 starts.
On May 7, 2012, Tomlin pitched a no-decision with a career-high eight strikeouts in a win versus the White Sox. The following day Tomlin reported soreness in his wrist and was placed on the 15-day disabled list after undergoing an MRI which revealed inflammation to soft tissue. In July, holding a 5-5 record and 5.45 ERA and recording at least six innings in just 7 of 13 starts (compared to 23 of 26 in all of 2011), Tomlin stated, "Last year, they could count on me to save the bullpen. It's bothered me that I've been like that. It's frustrating." On August 21, 2012, Tomlin underwent Tommy John surgery and was eliminated for the rest of the 2012 season and was expected to miss the entire 2013 season. However, he did pitch in one game on September 12, 2013, when he pitched two shutout innings against the Chicago White Sox in a relief appearance.
Tomlin was called up from AAA Columbus on May 5, 2014, and placed on the Cleveland Indians starting rotation, replacing Carlos Carrasco. On June 28, Tomlin pitched a near perfect game against the Seattle Mariners, striking out 11, walking none, and giving up one hit. The only player to reach base was Kyle Seager, getting a lead off single in the fifth. Tomlin went on to get a complete game shutout, leading the Indians to a 5-0 victory. He finished the 2014 season appearing in 25 games, 16 of them starts, with a record of 6-9 in 104 innings.
The following season, Tomlin underwent shoulder surgery in April 2015, and started just 10 games for the Indians.
On January 15, 2016, he and the Indians agreed to a one-year deal for the 2016 season worth $2.5 million. Negotiations continued, and 11 days later, another year was added to the contract, for the same $2.5 million base salary. A team option, worth $3 million, was available for the 2018 season. The Indians exercised Tomlin's 2018 option on November 3, 2017. He finished the regular season starting 29 games for the Indians, establishing career highs in every statistical pitching category. He had a very low walk rate, leading the majors with only 1.03 bases on balls per 9 innings pitched. He also started 4 games for the Indians in their postseason route to the World Series, going 2–1 with a 4.58 ERA.
In 2017, he had a record of 10-9 with a 4.98 ERA in 26 starts.
In 2018, Tomlin began the season as the Indians fourth starter, but after struggling through six starts, he was moved to the bullpen. Tomlin finished with a career-worst 6.14 ERA in 32 appearances, 9 starts. He elected free agency on October 29, 2018.
Atlanta Braves
In January 2019, Tomlin trained at Driveline Baseball to improve his pitching delivery. On February 7, Tomlin signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that included an invitation to spring training. Tomlin signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves on March 21, a day after the Brewers released him.Tomlin served mainly as a multi-inning reliever for the Braves, going 2–1 with a 3.74 ERA over 79.1 innings (51G, 1GS). His 0.79 BB/9 was the lowest in MLB (min. 30 IP). Tomlin pitched in two games in the NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals. Tomlin retired 10 of the 12 batters he faced, not allowing a run over 2+2⁄3 innings. Tomlin signed a minor league deal to return to the organization on February 12, 2020. Tomlin had his contract selected to the 40-man roster on July 18. In 2020, he was 2-2 with a 4.76 ERA, in 39.2 innings that included five starts.On November 11, 2020, Tomlin and the Braves agreed on a one-year contract worth $1 million that included a team option for the following season. Tomlin struggled to a 6.57 ERA in 35 appearances for Atlanta in 2021, but won his first ever World Series ring when the Braves defeated the Houston Astros in 2021 World Series. On November 6, 2021, the Braves declined the option on Tomlin's contract for the 2022 season, and became a free agent.
Pitching style
Tomlin throws five pitches. He has a four-seam fastball (87–91 mph), a two-seam fastball (86–90), a cut fastball (83–88), a curveball (74–77), and a changeup (low 80s). The changeup is used against left-handed hitters, and Tomlin uses his curveball often in two-strike counts.

Since 2013 through September 8, 2017, Tomlin has the lowest walk rate among all major league pitchers, walking only 1.07 batters per 9 innings.
