Purchena

Purchena is a small town in Andalusia, southern Spain.  It is situated inland the county of Almería, at the foot of the Sierra de los Filabres, in the middle of the Almanzora River Valley, surrounded by woods which ascend towards the mountains, an environment which contrasts with the rest of the municipalities of the area which are set in much more arid surroundings.

History
Purchena has been populated since the Bronze Age.  It was also inhabited during the Roman period, but it was during the Arab conquest when it was most important.  In the 10th century it was founded with the name Hisn Burxana, and during the reign of Al-Ahmar I in the 13th century it was known as Val de Porchena, and it was converted into the head of the Almanzora, which formed a part of the Kingdom of Nazari of Granada. In the year 1489 the town became part of the Catholic Monarchs' empire with Baza, Guadix and Almería.

The current town took shape during the 18th and 19th  centuries around the Constitution and Larga Squares.

Moorish Games of Aben Humeya
The Moorish Games are a historical event that Aben Humeya, King of the Moorish people, first celebrated in Purchena in 1569.

During the Games, several cultural events, sporting activities and other activities are celebrated, such as: performances of historical events (staged by young people from Purchena in the same style as it was 400 years ago), ancient Andalusian music, Arabian cooking, traditional dances and  sports such as Moorish-Style wrestling, Middle League Race, hop, step and jump, and archery.

All of these competitions admit the participation of athletes from all over the world who compete to win the prize and the laurel crown. Aben Humeya Moorish Games have been declared of National Tourist Interest by the Council of Tourism and Sport of the Andalusian Government.

Angus Lennie

Angus Wilson Lennie (18 April 1930 – 14 September 2014) was a Scottish film and theatre character actor with a 50-year career span. His numerous credits include the character of Flying Officer Archibald Ives in The Great Escape, and Shughie McFee in the television soap opera Crossroads.

Early life
Lennie was born and raised in Glasgow, receiving formal education there at Eastbank Academy. During his childhood he was a member of the 94th Glasgow (1st Shettleston) Company of Scotland's Boys' Brigade.

He started his career in show business at the age of 14 whilst engaged in an apprenticeship as a stockbroker's clerk, and appeared whilst still a teenager in song and dance acts at the Glasgow Metropole, his diminutive size at 5 ft 1" aiding his nimbleness in performance. After briefly trying stand-up comedy on Scotland's variety circuit post-World War II, and service with Her Majesty's Armed Forces as a National Serviceman, after a period performing in song and dance, and comedy routines, in the English seaside towns along the South-East coast, he decided to become an actor, and took up a trainee position with the Perth Repertory Company in his early twenties, and went on to work with repertory companies in Oxford and Birmingham.

Television
He remains well known for his long running role as cook Shughie McFee in the soap opera Crossroads, which he played from 1974 to 1981. Angus Lennie left the show without his character being formally written out. This ignominy led to characters in soap operas disappearing without explanation being classed as, "in the kitchen with Shughie McFee." 
His earliest major role was as Davie "Sunny Jim" Green in BBC Scotland's  comedy series, Para Handy - Master Mariner in 1959–60. Other TV credits include: Target Luna, The Saint (The Fellow Traveller), Doctor Who (in the serials The Ice Warriors and Terror of the Zygons), The Borderers, Z-Cars, Rumpole of the Bailey, Lovejoy, The Onedin Line, All Night Long, Keeping Up Appearances and Monarch of the Glen.

Film
Lennie's first role in cinema was in Tunes of Glory (1960), and he went on to establish a successful career in the medium as a character actor, often playing plucky wee Scotsman parts in war films such as The Great Escape (1963), 633 Squadron (1964), and Oh! What a Lovely War (1969). He was also in a succession of comedies such as Petticoat Pirates (1961), Operation Snatch (1962) and One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975). He also appeared alongside Richard Burton in the film The V.I.P.s in 1964.

Stage
He appeared in many stage productions, including A Midsummer Night's Dream and pantomimes.

Death
Lennie died on 14 September 2014 in Acton, West London, aged 84.

The Light in Our Soul

"The Light In Our Soul", an up-tempo ballad, was the second single from the album My Number One by 2005 Eurovision winner Helena Paparizou. The song was written by Costas Bigalis and was chosen for the Eurovision Greek National Final, along with "O.K." and "Let's Get Wild," but it was "My Number One" that was chosen. The song was disqualified because it was revealed that a CD demo version of the song sung by another artist had been leaked on the internet and made available for sale on the site of an e-tailer. Paparizou herself stated during a concert in Chicago Illinois that "The Light in Our Soul" was leaked on the internet, and the song was therefore disqualified from the Eurovision preselection. She then made a very jovial comment regarding internet file-sharing in general saying: "No no, I do not use the internet. This is why we don't like the internet."

Music video
In the music video for "The Light in Our Soul," Paparizou is seen in two different settings. The first is Elena singing and the second scene is Elena walking around a city lighting the city up. The video is recorded in two languages; the first was a Greeklish version which aired in Greece, while the English version aired in Sweden.

Maris Otter

Maris Otter is a two-row, autumn sown variety of barley commonly used in the production of malt for the brewing industry. The variety was bred by Dr G D H Bell and his team of plant breeders at the UK's Plant Breeding Institute; the "Maris" part of the name comes from Maris Lane near the institute's home in Trumpington. It was introduced in 1966 and quickly became a dominant variety in the 1970s due to its low nitrogen and superior malting characteristics. By the late-1980s the variety had become unpopular with large breweries and it was removed from the UK National List in 1989.

Maris Otter is a cross of Proctor and Pioneer varieties. 
In the 1980s Maris Otter usage began to decline for a number of reasons, including: compromised genetic purity caused by cross pollination and improved competition from other varieties.

In 1992, the consortium of grain merchants H Banham Ltd & Robin Appel Ltd bought the sole right to market Maris Otter and in 2002 they bought all rights outright (including the registered trademark). They remain the sole owners and intend to improve the variety on an ongoing basis.

In mainstream brewing the variety has largely been supplanted by newer varieties with better agronomics, but it's still in high demand for premium products. It is one of the few barley malts marketed today by variety.  It is very popular both in homebrewing circles and among traditional real ale breweries, many of whom note their exclusive use of Maris Otter in their promotional literature. It carries a price premium over most other comparable varieties.

Ramberg–Bäcklund reaction

The Ramberg–Bäcklund reaction is an organic reaction converting an α-halo sulfone into an alkene in presence of a base with extrusion of sulfur dioxide. The reaction is named after the two Swedish chemists Ludwig Ramberg and Birger Bäcklund. The carbanion formed by deprotonation gives an unstable episulfone that decomposes with elimination of sulfur dioxide. This elimination step is considered to be a concerted cycloelimination.

The overall transformation is the conversion of the carbon–sulfur bonds to a carbon–carbon double bond. The original procedure involved halogenation of a sulfide, followed by oxidation to the sulfone. Recently, the preferred method has reversed the order of the steps. After the oxidation, which is normally done with a peroxy acid, halogenation is done under basic conditions by use of dibromodifluoromethane for the halogen transfer step.  This method was used to synthesize 1,8-diphenyl-1,3,5,7-octatetraene.

Applications 
The Ramberg–Bäcklund reaction has several applications. Due to the nature of elimination, it can be applied to both small rings ,

and large rings containing a double bond .

This reaction type gives access to 1,2-dimethylenecyclohexane

and the epoxide variation  access to allyl alcohols.

A recently developed application of the Ramberg–Bäcklund reaction is the synthesis of C-glycosides. The required thioethers can be prepared easily by exchange with a thiol. The application of the Ramberg–Bäcklund conditions then leads to an exocyclic vinyl ether that can be reduced to the C-nucleoside .In a variation, oxidation of a sulfamide generates a azo compound.

Substrates 
The necessary α-halo sulfones are accessible through oxidation of the corresponding α-halo sulfides with peracids such as meta-chloroperbenzoic acid; oxidation of sulfides takes place selectively in the presence of alkenes and alcohols. α-Halo sulfides may in turn be synthesized through the treatment of sulfides with halogen electrophiles such as N-chlorosuccinimide or N-bromosuccinimide.

Mechanism 
The sulfone group contains an acidic proton in one of the α-positions which is abstracted by a strong base (scheme 1). The negative charge placed on this position (formally a carbanion) is transferred to the halogen residing on the other α-position in a nucleophilic displacement temporarily forming a three-membered cyclic sulfone. This intermediate is unstable and releases sulfur dioxide to form the alkene. Mixtures of cis isomer and trans isomer are usually obtained.

The Favorskii rearrangement and the Eschenmoser sulfide contraction are conceptually related reactions.

Hopak-Kolom

Hopak-Kolom () is a popular folk dance from Ukraine. It is similar to the Hopak, although it is performed in a circle. Although not as popular today as it was in the 20th century, it is still performed by amateurs, professional Ukrainian dance ensembles, and other performers of folk dances.

The dance itself reflects the full breadth of the Ukrainian soul, and has long been a hallmark of Ukrainian culture. Hopak depicts a kind of dialogue in which men show their character, strength and courage, and girls - their elegance and beauty.

History 
The history of the origin of hopak is connected with the combat training trains of the Zaporizhzy Sich cossacks in the 16-18th centuries.

Therefore, at first it was an exclusively male dance. Hetmans, taking a mace, began to dance in the center of the circle, and entering the circle of Cossacks confirmed their supremacy. The name hopak comes from the word "Gopal" - to jump, and from a similar exclamation "hop".

The new history of hopak began with the creation in 1940 of the song and dance ensemble of Ukraine, which was headed from 1955 to 1975 by Pavlo Pavlovich Virsky. It was this choreographer who created an academic folk dance based on classics and traditional folklore, and staged the famous hopak, which still completes the concerts of the academic dance ensemble of Ukraine named after him.

Hopak is a battle dance. Every movement of which is a combat kick from different positions, even sitting. The Byzantine historian of the ninth century Leo the Deacon in the "Chronicles", describing the campaigns of Prince Svyatoslav, called the Magi children of Satan, who learned the art of war through dance. The oldest image of hopak - ancient figurines from the Kyiv region of the 6th century – the so-called Martin's treasure.

Queen Creek Tunnel

The Queen Creek Tunnel is a  tunnel on US 60 in the Superstition Mountains, just east of Superior, Arizona. Completed in 1952, the Queen Creek Tunnel links Phoenix with Safford by way of Superior and Globe/Miami. It replaced the smaller Claypool Tunnel that had been built in 1926. The new tunnel was cut through the solid rock of the Queen Creek gorge, approximately  from the  mountain summit.. It is  in height and  wide at its base. The cost of the tunnel at the time of its construction was $550,000 and it was built by the Fisher Contracting Company.

At the 1952 dedication ceremony, a drill rig used in boring the tunnel was used as a platform for the speakers, other officials, and a brass band. The completion of the tunnel was the final part of an Arizona Highway Department program begun in 1937 to improve the original approximately  section of US 60 between Superior and Miami that was constructed in 1920–22.

The roadbed in the tunnel climbs at a 6% grade, and the original lighting was insufficient to allow motorists good depth perception. The original lighting was improved with the installation of fluorescent lights in the 1960s. Assistance in design of the new lighting was given by Arizona Public Service and the California Division of Highways.

In October 2016, the tunnel lighting system was upgraded to light-emitting diode (LED) technology; it was the first tunnel in Arizona to get LEDs. The lighting system adjusts the lighting level based upon ambient light and weather conditions outside with an adaptive control system. The system offers improved visibility, reduced energy consumption, and lower maintenance.

Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) plans to eventually widen US 60 in the area and may bypass the tunnel to avoid the impact of such a project on an environmentally sensitive canyon.

Chumak (dance)

Chumak () is a popular folk dance from Ukraine. In it, the dancers reenact the lives of salt-merchants. The dancers begin by interpreting mining  salt from a cave, they then proceed to go through the desalinization process, which allows them to sprinkle their salt on pretzels, all while dancing. It is performed by amateurs, professional Ukrainian dance ensembles as well as other performers of folk dances.

In one of the versions of the dance a young boy has finished hard work as a salt merchant and while walking home he decided to have some fun by dancing. In the dance the boy is wearing a straw hat and traditional Ukrainian clothes with a belt. While dancing the boy got carried away and falls to the ground injuring himself in the eyes of the audience. After couple seconds the young boy gets up, shrugs off the pain and continues to dance all the way home.

Kozachok

Kozachok (, ) or kazachok () is a traditional Ukrainian and Russian quick-paced folk dance for couples originating with the Cossacks in the 16th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was performed throughout Ukraine, as well as at noble courts including in France, Hungary, Poland, and Russia.

Description
Kozachok is a fast, linear, couple-dance in  time, typically in a constantly increasing tempo and of an improvisatory character. In the 17th century, kozachok became fashionable in court music in Europe.  It is typically in a minor key in Ukraine, and in a major key in Russia. The woman leads and the man follows, imitating her figures – she signals movement changes by hand clapping.

Traditionally it is accompanied by a , a short, jovial, humorous song.

In terms of music, Kozachok is in fact a group of "Kozachok-type dances", with numerous regional varieties, especially in Carpathians, under different names: "Kozak", "Haiduk", "Dzhuman", "Metanka", etc. At least 124 different melodies are recorded. Kozachok-type dances play the function of "dance-songs" (танець-приспівка) in most of ethnic Ukrainian lands, with the exception of "kolomyika" regions (Pokuttia, Boiko Subcarpathians, and Halychyna). 

In Russia there exist different versions of the kozachok dance the Kuban kazachok (Krasnodar region of southern Russia), and Terek kazachok (northern Caucasus region). Historically these regions had an important Ukrainian population which was significantly reduced in the Soviet era.

The first known musical arrangement of the kоzachok for lute is attributed to the Polish nobleman and composer Kazimierz Stanisław Rudomina-Dusiacki in the 17th century. There are manuscript collections of kozachok melodies from the second half of the 18th century, and printed collections begin to appear toward the end of that century. Dusiacki's score was preserved in the Berlin State Library under the name "Dusiacki-Buch".

Kozachok melodies were used in Polish music in the 18th century.

Modern choreography
The Ukrainian choreographer and dancer Vasyl Avramenko, known for his standardization of Ukrainian dance, created Kozachok Podilskyi (Козачок подільський), a Cossack courtship dance native to the Podillia region, for one to four couples. He most likely learned the Kozachok Podilskyi from the theatre work he did between 1917 and 1921 sources from the repertoire of dances performed in plays generations before including plays by Ukrainian dramaturge and writer Marko Kropyvnytskyi.

In 2015, the daily Ausaf was also launched in Karachi, the megacity of Pakistan.

Currently, it is known as the leading paper within the regions of Kashmir, Gilgit - Baltistan,  Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Potohar, and Southern Punjab and growing its penetration in Karachi.

Within the UK, Daily Ausaf is the leading newspaper especially due to the fact of providing the local community out of which 75% are of Kashmiri origin news from their native areas. Also in other European countries such as Germany, Austria, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and Greece, Daily Ausaf has established itself as the most vital source of information for local Pakistani residents.

West Central Area is a member of the Minnesota State High School League.

History 
The West Central Area school district was created in 1993 when the West Central school district of Wendell, Elbow Lake, and Barrett, joined with the Hoffman-Kensington school district due to declining enrollment.  However, consolidation had started long before that. Wendell, Elbow Lake, Barrett, Hoffman and Kensington all used to be their own districts, but kept consolidating with each other until they all finally became one, large district.  Declining enrollment continues to be the district's largest problem today.  Class sizes in the high school are down to around 20 people per class.

Other accomplishments 
The Knights have fielded a national championship qualifying team in the televised Academic Challenge (national).  West Central (Elbow Lake - Barrett- Wendel) was one of the eight inaugural knowledge bowl teams in the state of Minnesota back in 1979. Now almost every district in the state has a knowledge bowl team.

Petit Bois Island

Petit Bois Island is a barrier island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast, south of Pascagoula, and one of the Mississippi–Alabama barrier islands. It is part of Jackson County, Mississippi. Since 1971 it has been a part of Gulf Islands National Seashore, administered by the U.S. National Park Service.

According to the United States Geological Survey, variant names are l'Isle de Petit Bois (French, modern spelling would be ) and Petitbois Island.  in French means "little woods". The island was so named by the early French explorers due to a small wooded section located on the eastern end of this mostly sand and scrub-covered island. Following the island's inundation during Hurricane Katrina, most of the trees comprising the little woods section have died.

Shape changes
A French exploration map of 1732 showed an elongated barrier spit between Petit Bois Island and Dauphin Island
This connection was breached between 1740 and 1766, possibly as the result of the 1740 hurricane.

Petit Bois originally extended about  east of the Alabama-Mississippi state line and was effectively located in both states. From 1933 to 1968, the eastern end of the island eroded (due to the effects of hurricanes and natural shoreline movement) until it was  west of the Mississippi state line. The island is approximately  long and serves as a habitat for gulls, terns, plovers, alligators, and other wildlife.

Massacre Island
Early maps suggest that the Petit Bois – rather than current Dauphin Island – may have been the location where a large pile of human skeletons was discovered in 1699, leading to the name Massacre Island.

Harry Colt

Henry Shapland Colt (4 August 1869 – 21 November 1951) was a golf course architect born in Highgate, England. He worked predominantly with Charles Alison, John Morrison, and Alister MacKenzie, in 1928 forming Colt, Alison & Morrison Ltd. He participated in the design or redesign of over 300 golf courses (115 on his own) in all six inhabited continents, including those at Wentworth Club, Sunningdale, Muirfield, Royal Portrush, and Royal Liverpool.

Colt teamed up with George Crump in 1918 to design Pine Valley Golf Club, which is ranked as the #1 golf course in the United States, by Golf magazine (2017–18 ranking of the Top 100 Courses in the U.S.) and Golf Digest (2019–20 ranking of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses). The classic Plum Hollow Country Club in Southfield, Michigan, was designed by Colt and Alison in 1921. The course played host to the 1947 PGA Championship, the 1957 Western Open, and Ryder Cup Challenge Matches in 1943.

Colt was educated at Monkton Combe School near Bath, before taking a law degree at Clare College, Cambridge, where he captained the Cambridge University Golf Club in 1890.

In 1897 he became a founder member of the Royal & Ancient Rules of Golf Committee.

Career

Colt's courses of note in the UK include: Tandridge Golf Club, which features Colt Corner, Oxford Golf Club, Ladbrook Park Golf Club, Denham Golf Club, St George's Hill, Sunningdale (New course), Belfairs Golf Club, Rye, Blackmoor, Swinley Forest, Brancepeth Castle, Brokenhurst Manor, Camberley Heath, Calcot Park, Goring and Streatley Golf Club, Grimsby Golf Club, Hendon Golf Club, Tyneside and the East & West Courses at Wentworth Club. He performed extensive redesigns of Sunningdale (Old course), Woodhall Spa, and of Muirfield, Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake, and Royal Portrush, three of the courses on the rota for the Open Championship. In Canada, his courses for the Hamilton Golf and Country Club and the Toronto Golf Club are highly respected. He also designed in 1914 the first Spanish course bigger than 4.300 yards, the Club de Golf Sant Cugat, promoted by the Barcelona Traction Light and Power Company Ltd.

Pryvit

Pryvit (Welcome, ) is a Ukrainian dance developed by 20th century Ukrainian performance ensembles to start off programs of Ukrainian folk dances. In it, the dancers preview dances and the various representations or regional folk costumes which will be seen later in the performance. At some point in the dance, the audience is welcomed by one or more dancers bearing wheat, bread and (sometimes visible, but always implied) salt. It is performed by amateurs and professional Ukrainian dance ensembles as well as other performers of folk dance.

The bread, salt and wheat represent the land's fertility to Ukrainian people.

Wu Daqi

Wu Daqi or Wu Ta-ch'i (1926–1993) was the descendant of the famous Wu-style tai chi founders Wu Quanyou (1834–1902) and Wu Jianquan (1870–1942). He directed Wu-style tai chi instruction outside of Mainland China after the death of his father Wu Gongyi (1900–1970) and brother Wu Ta-kuei (1923–1972) from the Wu-style tai chi headquarters in Hong Kong internationally.

Biography
Born in China to a distinguished martial arts family, Wu Daqi, with his brother Wu Ta-kuei, sister Wu Yanxia as well as his first cousin Wu Daxin all endured strict training from their nationally famous grandfather and father. Being the grandchildren of the family, they were traditionally expected to inherit the family art of tai chi whom their great-grandfather Wu Quanyou had first learned from Yang Luchan (1799–1872) and his son Yang Banhou (1837–1890).

When Wu Gongyi migrated with his family to Hong Kong in the 1940s, Wu Daqi assisted his father in the propagation and teaching of tai chi. During the 1950s under the instructions of Wu Gongyi, Wu Daqi and his cousin Wu Daxin (1933–2005) travelled extensively to Malaysia and Singapore to start and support academies promoting Wu-style tai chi. Their efforts met with success, making the region a key centre of Wu-style tai chi outside of Hong Kong and China. Wu Daqi's chief disciple Chu Weng-Moon in Malaysia and his fellow disciples continue to teach Wu-style tai chi.

In 1974, Wu Daqi was invited by the Chinese Canadian Kuo Shu Federation to teach in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where he established the first Wu family school outside of Asia. The Canadian school founded by Wu Daqi was entrusted to his nephew Wu Kuang-yu (Eddie Wu) in 1976.

Wu Daqi was a member of the advisory board of the Martial Art Association in Hong Kong.

Charles Hugh Alison

Charles Hugh Alison (5 March 1883 – 20 October 1952) was a British golf course designer. He worked predominantly with Harry Colt, John Morrison, and Alister MacKenzie, in 1928 forming Colt, Alison & Morrison Ltd.

Life and career
Alison was born in Preston, Lancashire. He attended Malvern College in Worcestershire before going up to New College, Oxford, to study history, law and divinity. He represented the university at golf in 1903 and 1904, but did not finish his degree. He also played four first-class cricket matches for Somerset County Cricket Club between 1902 and 1905 and played Minor Counties cricket for Buckinghamshire in 1911 and 1912.

Alison served in both World War I and World War II decoding ciphers.

One of Alison's most-respected designs is Milwaukee Country Club (1929), co-designed with Colt, which was ranked among the Top 50 golf courses in America by Golf Digest in 2007. Another endearing Colt-Alison design is Century Country Club (1927) in Purchase, New York. On 26 April 1922, The New York Times announced that Colt, MacKenzie & Alison of London would be developing the new Century golf course on  of pristine countryside. The course's architects are listed as Colt and Alison but MacKenzie's influence is imbued throughout the 18 holes. He was one of the founding members of the International Society of Golf Architects in 1929.

On a trip to Japan in 1930 he laid down principles that guided Japanese golf course design throughout the 20th century.

Alison and his wife moved to South Africa in 1947. He worked on several South African golf courses before his death in Cape Town in 1952.
