Tong, Lewis
Tong ( from ) is a village on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, northeast of the main town of Stornoway on the B895 road to Back and Tolsta. The population of the village is 527 ( 2001 census). Fishing forms part of the local economy. The mainland of Scotland is away via a two-hour ferry ride. History Until the 13th century, Lewis – and Tong with it – was part of Norway. Fishing, farming and weaving made up Tong's economy by the 1800s. Later in the century, landlords throughout much of Lewis ousted their tenants to install sheep farms and deer forests, industries which used huge swathes of land with few farmers. Many families moved to Tong, causing "horrific overcrowding." Scottish historian James Hunter quotes a mainland land manager's 1828 description: “It is worse than anything I ever saw in Donegal n Irelandwhere I always considered human wretchedness to have reached its very acme.” Between 1919 and 1921, Tong, along with nearby Coll and Gress, was the scene of sev ...

Tunga (artist)
Antonio José de Barros Carvalho e Mello Mourão (February 8, 1952 – June 6, 2016), known professionally as Tunga, was a Brazilian sculptor and performance artist. Tunga was born in Palmares, Pernambuco, Palmares, Pernambuco, Brazil. His erudition and philosophical background were reflected in an increasingly conceptual artistic output, which involves the intersection with research in different knowledge fields and a dialogue with literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, theatre, exact sciences and biology. His work is powerful, profound and self-referential, denies linear time and relies heavily on materiality, symbologies and processes of transformation and metamorphoses. Career ''The Art Newspaper'' called him "One of Brazil's best-known contemporary artists." As early as he became aware of Brazilian modernism in 1970, he began his career by making sculptures and drawings. In 1974 he completed a course in architecture and urbanism at Santa Ursula University, in Rio de Ja ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Huhu Beetle
The huhu beetle (''Prionoplus reticularis'') is a longhorn beetle Endemism, endemic to New Zealand. It is the heaviest beetle found in New Zealand.

In Māori, ''huhu'' has semantically evolved to refer explicitly to its Larva, larval form (also ''tunga haere'', ''tunga rākau''). As the huhu larva reaches maturity it ceases to bore in wood and casts its skin. This still edible stage is known in Māori as '. It then develops wings and legs, and while it is still white, it is known as ' or ''pepe-te-muimui''. Finally, it emerges and flies off to reproduce and is known as '.
