# Humen Pearl River Bridge

The Humen Pearl River Bridge (simplified Chinese: 虎门大桥; traditional Chinese: 虎門大橋; pinyin: Hǔmén Dàqiáo; Jyutping: Fu$^2$mun$^4$ Dai$^6$kiu$^4$) is a bridge over the Humen, Pearl River in Guangdong Province, southern China. It consists of two main spans — a suspension bridge section and a segmental concrete section. It connects the Nansha District of Guangzhou to Humen Town of Dongguan. Completed in 1997, the suspension bridge has a main span of 888 meters, and the segmental concrete section's main span of 237 meters is among the longest such spans in the world. It forms part of the G9411 Dongguan–Foshan Expressway. The newer Nansha Bridge (Chinese: 南沙大桥), built to reduce the traffic problems on the Humen Bridge, opened to traffic in April 2019.

## Features

The bridge is divided into five sections: the east approach, the suspension bridge section, the middle approach, the segmental concrete section, and the west approach. Hurricanes are common occurrences, so the design wind speed at the bridge deck level was established at 61 m/s.

## Incidents

On May 5, 2020, the bridge was caught on camera violently shaking up and down. At 15:32 local time, the bridge was shut down by traffic police for safety reasons. According to Chinese state-run media, engineers inspected the main structure of the bridge, and it was found to be intact. Experts told Chinese media that the shaking was normal, and would not affect the safety of driving if the shaking was contained to a tolerable range. At 16:30 on May 7, the navigable waters of the bridge resumed navigation. On May 10, the bridge passed the structural safety assessment. On May 15, the bridge resumed traffic, but buses with more than 40 seats and trucks were prohibited from passing.

Police fired on a crowd of around 50,000 mostly Adivasi civilians in the market of Kharsawan, many of whom had gathered there to protest against the accession of the princely state to India in favor of a separate Adivasi state within India. There is no consensus over the number of casualties. The Orissa government declared 35 deaths.

# HMS Windsor Castle (1790)

HMS Windsor Castle was a 98-gun second-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 3 May 1790 at Deptford Dockyard.

## Dardanelles

Windsor Castle was part of Robert Calder's fleet at the Battle of Cape Finisterre in 1805. She shared in the prize and head money for San Rafael and Firme captured on that day.
On 25 September a French squadron of five frigates and two corvettes under Commodore Eleonore-Jean-Nicolas Soleil was escorting a convoy ferrying supplies and troops to the French West Indies. A British squadron intercepted the convoy, which led to the action of 25 September 1806, where the British captured four of the frigates: Armeide, Minerva, Indefatigable, and Gloire. The frigate Thétis and the corvette Sylphe escaped, with Lynx managing to outrun Windsor Castle.
While in the Mediterranean she served during Vice Admiral Sir John Duckworth's unsuccessful 1807 Dardanelles Operation. On 19 February, Windsor Castle suffered seven men wounded while forcing the Dardanelles. Near a redoubt on Point Pesquies the British encountered a Turkish squadron of one ship of 64 guns, four frigates and eight other vessels, most of which they ran aground. Marines from Pompee spiked the 31 guns on the redoubt. On 27 February Windsor Castle had one man killed assisting a Royal Marine landing party on the island of Prota.
On the way out, the Turkish castle at Abydos fired on the British squadron. Granite cannonballs weighing 7-800 pounds and measuring 6'6" in circumference hit Windsor Castle, Standard and Active. Windsor Castle was badly damaged when an 800-pound stone shot from a Turkish cannon sheared off her main mast. Windsor Castle had four men killed and 20 wounded in the withdrawal. In all, the British lost 29 killed and 138 wounded. No ship was lost.
Windsor Castle accompanied Duckworth on the Alexandria expedition of 1807, and in May left Alexandria and sailed to Malta.

## Fate

She was reduced to a 74-gun ship in 1814, and was eventually broken up in 1839.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

## Description and history

The Samuel Miner House was located in a rural setting northwest of the village center of North Stonington, on Hewitt Road, a dirt lane off Connecticut Route 2. It was a 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof, end chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Unusually for houses of the period, the main facade was what is generally considered a side elevation, with the roof ridge perpendicular. The roof extended down to the first floor on the right side, giving the house a saltbox profile. The main entrance was roughly in the center of the facade, with two bays of windows on either side, placed with some asymmetry. There were two irregularly placed windows on the second floor, and a small window set just below the gable peak.
The house was an architecturally unusual example of a late First Period colonial residence. It unusually retained its single-pile structure, with a large single room on each floor, and a chimney at the end. The side-facing leanto section was added sometime in the 18th century. The interior was also distinctive for its use of a variety of different woods for the flooring and finishes, as well as three large granite fireplaces. The second-floor bedchamber was a rare example of an early 18th-century room finished before the use of horsehair plaster became more common: it had been finished entirely in wooden wainscoting and paneling.
# Samuel Nichols House

Samuel Nichols House is a historic residence located in rural Muscatine County, Iowa, United States, near the town of Nichols. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978.

## History

Samuel Nichols moved his family from Ohio to Iowa in the late 1830s. He built a log structure on this property that served as the family home, a post office, and occasionally as a store that catered to people who traveled between Iowa City and Muscatine. He had this house built between 1869 and 1870. He and his wife died within a year or so of its completion. The farm was passed down through the family and remained so until at least 1978 when it was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. His son Benjamin founded the town of Nichols in 1871. It was named after Samuel who had invested heavily in the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad and donated land for the depot around which the town developed. Benjamin operated a store in town before returning to farm here. His son Townsend inherited the farm from him.

## Architecture

The Nichols House is a typical 19th-century vernacular-style farm house with a single story wing on the back. The two-story, rectangular, brick structure is five bays wide with the main entrance in the center bay. The front porch is not the original. Chimneys are set at each end of the gable roof. The deck in the center of the roof is original to the house, but the railings are replacements.

## Criticism and controversy

In the first episode, Peter Snow mistakenly said that a five-month-old video of Class 66s on delivery was live. This resulted in complaints from the general public and as a result the incident made the front pages of The Sun newspaper. A spokesman from the BBC said that the show had made a mistake in the “excitement of a live broadcast.”
In the second episode, Peter Snow mistakenly called an LNER Thompson/Peppercorn Class K1 No. 62005 an LMS Black Five. This has angered and annoyed many trainspotters but only got as far as that.
