Shipton's Arch
Shipton's Arch( literally" Hole Mountain"; or simply) is a conglomerate natural arch in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
It is located in Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture west- northwest of Kashgar, near the village of Artux, at an altitude of.
It is probably the world's tallest natural arch.
Though long familiar to locals( the south side of the arch is visible from the plain below) it was famously" discovered" in 1947 by English mountaineer Eric Shipton during his tenure as the British consul in Kashgar – and made known to the West in his book" Mountains of Tartary".
Shipton made unsuccessful attempts to reach the arch from the south but was defeated each time by a maze of steep canyons and cliffs.
The arch once figured in the" Guinness Book of Records" for its exceptional height, but the editors of the book could not verify the location of the arch exactly, so the listing was dropped.
It was only as recently as May 2000 that an expedition sponsored by National Geographic rediscovered the arch for the outside world.
Today, several companies operating out of Kashgar offer day trips to the arch for tourists.
The arch is about a one- to two- hour drive from Kashgar in addition to another one- to two- hour hike.
It used to be that visitors were guided by locals and required to climb shaky ladders on their way to the arch but China has since invested money into a visitor's center, staircases and a viewing deck.
The Gobi March 2008, an international stage race, took competitors to the top of the arch during its seven- day, 250- kilometer footrace.
The height of the arch is estimated to be, about the height of the Empire State Building.
The span of the arch is roughly.
The" true" height of the arch is debatable: viewing the arch from the north( normal approach route) it appears to be tall from the top of the rubble pile; from the south side( approachable via a technical canyon ascent), the height is closer to the estimated.
The height depends upon what constitutes the base of the arch, which is either the base of the rubble pile( which is partially under the arch and where the span achieves its maximum width) or the floor of the west side canyon head, lower.
Bomb Harvest
Bomb Harvest is a 2007 documentary film directed by Australian filmmaker Kim Mordaunt and produced by Sylvia Wilczynski.
It explores the consequences of war in Laos as it follows an Australian bomb disposal specialist, training locals in the skill of detonating bombs while trying to stop villagers, particularly children, from finding them and using them for scrap metal.
During the Vietnam War, Laos was the target of the heaviest US bombing campaign, making Laos the most bombed country in history: from 1964 until 1973 more than two million tonnes of bombs were dropped, including 260 million cluster munitions.
An estimated 30% of the bombs dropped failed to detonate as intended.
Unexploded Ordnance( UXO) continues to kill and injure people, and, as a consequence of large tracts of land( with evidence of UXO ’s) being sealed off, the local population are prevented from using it, including for the vital purpose of growing food.
Casualties and deaths are still frequently reported, particularly amongst children and adolescents who are tempted into the restricted areas for many reasons, for example: to recapture livestock, to forage or to attempt to retrieve scrap metal, which is still a lucrative business.
UXO is a key causative factor in the continuing high levels of poverty and is seen as stifling the economic and agricultural development of the country.
" Bomb Harvest" explores how three generations of people have been left to deal with the consequences of the air war, and depicts the bravery of those trying to clear up its remnants.
The film crew spent two months on the ground with bomb disposal teams from the Mines Advisory Group as they dealt with live bombs, in areas of Laos which have never been filmed in before.
The film premiered at the 2007 Sydney Film Festival, and won a Children's Advocacy award at the 2008 Artivist Film Festival.

Peckham Arch
Peckham Arch is a unique 35 m span structure at the north end of Rye Lane in the London Borough of Southwark.
The Arch was constructed in 1994 and was designed by architects Troughton McAslan as monument to and as instigator of regeneration in a borough which had suffered from years of decline.
The Arch was the first of three capital projects around Peckham Square and was followed by construction of Peckham Library, completed in 2000.
The Arch is home to a public art light sculpture conceived by the artist Ron Haselden.
In November 2016 it was announced that the Arch would be demolished to make way for new blocks of flats.
A 2015 plan for the site included a total of 100 flats across nine sites surrounding the square, were the arch to be removed.
Removal of the arch will allow for the construction of two new four and six- storey buildings, containing 19 flats, six of which will be social housing two of these will be within existing buildings at 91- 93 Peckham High Street.
Community campaigners have criticised the Southwark scheme for occupying and selling off rare covered public space for private development.
The scheme has been further criticised for failing to demonstrate public support for removal of the Arch.
Mature trees and green link connecting Rye Lane to Burgess Park is also to be lost if the Arch were to be demolished.
Local architect Benedict O'Looney said it would be a" great tragedy" if the arch were removed, branding Southwark's proposal as" insane" and describing it as" an iconic symbol of Peckham".
In 2016 the London borough of Southwark turned down an application placed by 21 Southwark residents to list Peckham arch as an' Asset of Community Value'
