# Salang Pass

The Salang Pass (Dari: كتل سالنگ Kutal-i Salang, el. 3,878 m or 12,723 ft) is the primary mountain pass connecting northern Afghanistan with Parwan Province, with onward connections to Kabul Province, southern Afghanistan. Located on the border of Parwan Province and Baghlan Province, it is just to the east of the Kushan Pass, and both of them were of great importance in early times as they provided the most direct connections between the Kabul region with northern Afghanistan or Tokharistan. The Salang River originates nearby and flows south.
The pass crosses the Hindu Kush mountains but is now bypassed through the Salang Tunnel, which runs underneath it at a height of about 3,400 m. The tunnel was built by engineers and construction crews from the Soviet Union in 1958 – 1964 as part of a wide-ranging infrastructure build out in Afghanistan carried out by the USSR. During the Afghan civil war it was blown up in 1997 by forces of Ahmad Shah Massoud in order to prevent Taliban fighters from coming through it. In 2002 the Russian Ministry Of Emergency Situations (RMES) organized the work to rebuild the tunnel and the repairs were completed within a month.
It links Charikar and Kabul in the south with Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz in the north. Before the road and tunnel were built, the main route between Kabul and northern Afghanistan was via the Shibar Pass, a much longer route which took three days.
The road through the pass has carried heavy military traffic in recent conflicts and is in very bad repair.

## February 2010 avalanches

On February 9, 2010, the pass was hit by multiple avalanches. According to press reports the road through the pass was hit by 17 avalanches, killing dozens, burying miles of highway, and trapping the vehicles in the Salang tunnel. By February 10, 2010, authorities had recovered over 160 bodies. Radio Free Europe reported the first avalanche blocked the tunnel, and trapped vehicles in a traffic jam in a "deadly avalanche zone".

# The Longest Night (1936 film)

The Longest Night is a 1936 American mystery film directed by Errol Taggart and written by Robert Hardy Andrews. The film stars Robert Young, Florence Rice, Ted Healy, Julie Haydon, Catherine Doucet and Janet Beecher. The film was released on October 2, 1936, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Running a mere 51 minutes, it is believed to be the shortest feature ever produced by MGM, lending a certain irony to the title.
Elements of the plot were later reworked into the 1941 Marx Bros. comedy The Big Store.

## Plot

A department store where she works is robbed by Eve Sutton and an accomplice, Carl Briggs. A wristwatch they stole is recognized by Eve's sister Joan, who reports her suspicions to Mrs. Briggs, who is Eve's boss at the store.
Joan bumps into Charley Phelps, the store owner's son, who develops a personal interest in her. As an investigation into the robbery begins, Carl Briggs is shot and killed, his mother's body is also found, and Eve and a co-worker, Mr. Grover, are taken hostage.
To bring help, Joan starts a fire that sets off the store's sprinkler system. Firemen and police race to the scene as Joan and a crew of cleaning ladies fend off the gang, while Charley fights and overcomes the scheme's mastermind and killer, Grover.

# Annie Higdon

Annie Catherine "Kitty" Higdon (née Schollick; 30 December 1864 – 24 April 1946) was a British schoolmistress. She and her husband, Tom, were at the centre of the 25-year long Burston School Strike. Their battle with authority is celebrated annually by a rally that attracts nationally known politicians and trade unionists.

## Life

Higdon was born in Poulton-cum-Seacombe, which is now part of Wallasey, in Cheshire. She was born to Samuel and Jane Schollick in 1864. Her father was a shipwright, but she became a qualified elementary teacher. She married Tom Higdon in 1896 and they initially lived in London.
Annie (Kitty) was appointed headmistress in the Norfolk village of Wood Dalling, with Tom as assistant teacher. There they were popular, but they came into conflict with the authorities. Norfolk Education Committee gave the Higdons little choice but to transfer to another school. They moved to the Burston School in 1911. Annie's final comments in the school records were later removed by the education authority as "political and inflammatory".
Arriving at Burston, the Higdons were again popular with all but the authorities. The Reverend Charles Tucker Eland chaired the school's managing body. Eland demanded deference and recognition of his right to lead the community. Their employers, themselves mostly tenants of brewery-owned land, allied with the rector.
In 1913, Tom Higdon stood for election to the parish council, topping the poll with Eland failing to be elected, but Eland still controlled the school's managing body. The Higdons had complained about children being taken from school for farm work. They also noted the dampness, inadequate heating and lighting, lack of ventilation and generally unhygienic conditions in the school. The managers accused Annie of lighting a fire without their permission. She was also accused of not curtsying to the rector's wife and also of beating two girls. It is now thought that all these accusations were invented or exaggerated.
The Higdons were dismissed in 1914, but the pupils organised a strike. One of the pupils, Violet Potter, led the students out on strike. The vast majority agreed to be taught in temporary places. Initially they worked on the village green and then in a carpenter's shop. The situation attracted national publicity and crowd funding from supporters resulted in a new school building by 1917. Early visitors to the school were Sylvia Pankhurst and George Lansbury, who opened the new building.
The school remained open with eleven pupils until Tom's death in 1939. Annie Higdon died in a retirement home at Swainsthorpe on 24 April 1946. She is buried alongside her husband in Burston churchyard, adjacent to the school building.

## Legacy

The Higdons' life and strike has featured in films and books. There is an annual rally each September which has attracted leading Labour politicians, including Neil Kinnock, Glenys Kinnock and Jeremy Corbyn.

# Saibei

Saibei (Chinese: 塞北; pinyin: Sàiběi; lit. 'region north of the Great Wall of China'), also known as Saiwai (塞外) and Yibei (迤北), is a geographical term used in Chinese history. However, with the independence of Outer Mongolia in modern times, it is rarely used today.
Sai (塞) refers to frontier fortresses and fortresses. The term "Sai" is equivalent to the Ming Great Wall today. This boundary marks the northern limit of the frontier fortress, and the area beyond it is known as Saibei. It is sometimes used in conjunction with Saiwai.
However, unlike directional terms such as northeast and southwest, Saibei has a deeper meaning as a border between the Han agricultural civilization and the northern nomadic tribes. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the administrative division was reset and the other four provinces were abolished (except for "Ningxia", which remained as a provincial name but with a greatly reduced area). Some areas were incorporated into Hebei Province, Liaoning Province, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, all of which are now part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Due to these changes, the term Saibei is rarely used in geographical divisions today. After the Republic of China government moved to Taiwan, the concept of Saibei continued to be used in geography textbooks until the 1990s when education reform began and textbooks were updated. In order to reflect the current administrative division, the term has now been abandoned. However, the geographical division in Taiwan differs from that of the People's Republic of China. The government of the People's Republic of China includes Inner Mongolia in the North China region, while Mongolia (formerly Outer Mongolia) is recognized as an independent country in the World Geographic Index.
During the Qing dynasty, Saibei referred to the geographical area inhabited by the Mongols, including South Mongolia, North Mongolia (including Kobdo and Tannu Uriankhai), and West Mongolia (present-day Alxa League). When the Republic of China was established, it encompassed the five provinces of Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, Ningxia, and Mongolia. During the period when the Republic of China government recognized the Mongolian People's Republic (present-day Mongolia), Saibei was used as a geographical division to refer to its first four provinces, known as the Saibei Four Provinces (塞北四省).
# Newsham, Richmondshire

Newsham is a village and civil parish in the former Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is 8 miles (13 km) north west of Richmond and 13 miles (21 km) south west of Darlington.

## History

The settlement of Newsham predates the Domesday Book, although the name of the village derives from the Old English nēowan hūsum, which means New Houses. At the time of the Norman Conquest, Newsham belonged to Sprot and Ulfkil. After the Domesday Book assessment, the land was in the hands of Count Alan and later passed to Minotts (of Carlton Miniott) in 1285 and then being seized by the Markenfield family by 1497.
During the Stuart and Tudor periods, the village was regarded as quite important due to its market, of which the grade II listed market cross still exists, having been erected in the 16th century. Another grade II listed building in the village is Newsham Hall, now a farmhouse, it once housed a boarding school in the early 19th century.
In 1870-72 John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Newsham as:
   "a township and a sub-district in Richmond district, N. R. Yorkshire. The township lies 8 miles N W of Richmond, and is in Kirkby-Ravensworth and Barningham parishes. Acres, 3, 312. Real property, £3, 974. Pop. in 1851, 434; in 1861, 366. Houses, 84. Pop. of the Kirkby-Ravensworth portion, in 1851, 333; in 1861, 283. Houses, 61. Much of the surfaceis moor and woodland.—The sub-district contains also seven other townships. Acres, 16, 481. Pop., 1, 413. Houses, 313."

## Governance

Before becoming a separate parish, Newsham was part of the Kirkby Ravensworth, which also included Dalton, Gayles and Whashton. The village lies within the Richmond (Yorks) parliamentary constituency, which is under the control of the Conservative Party. The current Member of Parliament, since the 2015 general election, is Rishi Sunak. Newsham is part of the Richmondshire District Council electoral ward of Gilling West.
