Mervyn Sandri
Mervyn Francis Sandri (20 January 1932 – 16 January 2016) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played one first-class match for Otago during the 1956–57 season.

Sandri was born at Roxburgh in Central Otago in 1932. He played club cricket for Albion in Oamaru for many years and was regarded as a "very effective" bowler. He took nine wickets in an innings for the club as late as the 1963–64, bolding his medium-pace deliveries "accurately" and taking the catch to dismiss the other batsman during the innings, and was described as a "long standing" member of the North Otago team, playing Hawke Cup cricket for it between 1958–59 and 1972–73.

After playing for North Otago and age-group cricket for Otago, Sandri played his only first-class match for Otago against the touring Australian Test side in February 1957. Opening the bowling he did not take a wicket, although he made scores of 25 and two in Otago's innings defeat.

Roxburgh (previously called Teviot and Teviot Junction) is a small New Zealand town of about 600 people in Central Otago.

It is noted for its flamboyant make-up discipline, elaborate costuming and detail to gesture and body movements. This art form highly resembles European opera.

Ophiolite
An ophiolite is a section of Earth's oceanic crust and the underlying upper mantle that has been uplifted and exposed, and often emplaced onto continental crustal rocks.

The Greek word ὄφις, ophis (snake) is found in the name of ophiolites, because of the superficial texture of some of them. Serpentinite especially evokes a snakeskin.  (The suffix -lite is from the Greek lithos, meaning "stone".)  Some ophiolites have a green color. The origin of these rocks, present in many mountainous massifs, remained uncertain until the advent of plate tectonic theory.

Their great significance relates to their occurrence within mountain belts such as the Alps and the Himalayas, where they document the existence of former ocean basins that have now been consumed by subduction. This insight was one of the founding pillars of plate tectonics, and ophiolites have always played a central role in plate tectonic theory and the interpretation of ancient mountain belts.

Upper mantle
The upper mantle of Earth is a very thick layer of rock inside the planet, which begins just beneath the crust (at about 10 km (6.2 mi) under the oceans, and about 35 km (22 mi) under the continents) and ends at the top of the lower mantle, at about 670 km (420 mi). Temperatures range from around 900 K (627 °C; 1,160 °F) at the upper boundary with the crust to around 1,200 K (930 °C; 1,700 °F) at the boundary with the lower mantle. Upper mantle material that has come up onto the surface comprises about 55% olivine, 35% pyroxene, and 5–10% of calcium oxide and aluminum oxide minerals such as plagioclase, spinel, or garnet, depending on depth.

Cullen Viaduct
The Cullen Viaduct is a former single-track railway viaduct at the Moray Firth in Cullen, Moray, Scotland. Containing eight arches, it formerly carried the Great North of Scotland Railway line between Portsoy in Aberdeenshire and Elgin in Moray. Crossing the Burn of Cullen and the A98, it was built as a result of a refusal by Seafield Estate, to the south, to have the line encroach on its land.

Work on the viaduct was completed in 1886, under the guidance of engineer P. M. Barnett; it is now a Grade B listed structure.

The line closed in 1968, and the viaduct is now used as a recreational path, part of the Moray Firth Trail and the Sustrans national cycle path.

Three other structures are located further to the east: a single span connecting North Deskford Street to the main road, a four-arch viaduct spanning North Castle Street and a four-arch bridge at the foot of Seafield Street (part of the A98), under which vehicles and pedestrians pass.

Viaduct
A viaduct is a bridge that consists of a series of arches, piers or columns supporting a long elevated railway or road.

The term viaduct is derived from the Latin via meaning "road", and ducere meaning "to lead". It is a 19th-century derivation from an analogy with ancient Roman aqueducts. Like the Roman aqueducts, many early viaducts comprised a series of arches of roughly equal length.
