Nefta
Nefta (an aw spelt Nefta; 33.88333°N, 7.88333°W) is a toun an oasis in Tunisie, close tae the Algerian border, an juist north o the Chott el Djerid.
Releegious significance
Nefta is considered bi maist Sufis tae be the spiritual hame o Sufism, a mystical branch o Islam; mony releegious biggins are locatit in the destrict El Bayadha. 10 mile past Nefta, towards Algerie, is a daily mercat that sells Tunisian "desert roses", crystalline formations o rock that resemble roses in shape.
Nefta is the releegious centre o the Bled el Djerid, the "Land o Palms", wi maire than 24 mosques an 100 marabouts. The marabouts still attract pilgrims frae aw ower soothren Tunisie an even frae Algerie. This great veneration o the marabouts reflects the continuin vigor o Sufism, the movement which grew up in the 12t century aroond Sufi Abu Madian (d. 1197). The name o the Sufis came frae the semple ooen garment (suf) thay wore. Thay believed that the adherents o Islam, a releegion o the desert, shoud show parteecular modesty o behaviour an asceticism, an wur muckle gien tae mysticism, the veneration o holy men, spiritual contemplation an meditation. Sufism is an aa merked bi releegious forms taken ower frae the pre-Islamic, animistic releegions o the Berber population which orthodox Islam seeks tae repress - belief in spirits, witchcraft, fortune-tellin, the efficacy o amulets, etc. Regional variants o Sufism wur propagatit bi holy men, who frequently foondit thair awn britherhuids, wi centers for the teachin o disciples. Thay are creditit wi numerous miracles an revered for thair holiness, an thair tombs (marabouts) are places o pilgrimage, attractin varyin nummers o pilgrims accordin tae thair reputation. In the past thir holy men wur an aa appealed tae as judges in the conflicts which frequently occurred atween the nomadic tribes an the settled population o the oases. Nefta is the last stranghauld o this Sufism, an is whiles cried, wi some justification, the "Kairouan o the Sooth". The marabouts veneratit here are scattered aboot throughoot the auld toun o Nefta an the oasis.
The toun
Nefta is dividit intae twa pairts bi a smaw oued an a depression at its northren end. Tae the east o the oued is the new toun, wi the auld souk quarter at its soothwastren corner; tae the wast, on the slopes o a hill, is the auld toun. The main road frae Tozeur runs throu the new toun as Avenue Habib Bourguiba, which then crosses the oued an skirts the auld toun. At its wastren end a street branches aff on the richt, ascends the hill, goes roond the auld toun an the sand-bowl, an returns tae Avenue Habib Bourguiba. Nefta is a toun o cube-shaped, flat-roofed hooses huddled closely thegither, wi Tozeur-style decoration. In some o the streets the upper stories o the hooses, borne on roond- heidit airches, project ower the street, formin a kynd o tunnel which affers pertection frae the sun. It is planned tae restore the auld toun in the vera near future.
History
The history o Nefta reaches far back intae the past. It is believed tae hae been settled oreeginally bi shepherds who came frae the kinrick o Napata. The Romans an later the Byzantines biggit forts in the oasis (Nepte) tae provide pertection against raids bi desert nomads. In Byzantine times Nefta an Tozeur wur Episcopal Sees. In the mid-7t century Nefta wis conquered bi the Arabs an, in spite o fierce resistance, convertit tae Islam. In subsequent centuries it prospered as an important stagin-pynt for caravans (for a time the maist important in Tunisie). Its decline began in the 15t century as a result o mair frequent raids bi nomadic tribes an the general fallin aff in the caravan tred. Wi the coming o the French in 1881, housomeivver, Nefta experienced a renewal.
Access
Nefta lies on GP 3 (Gafsa-Nefta), 25 km/16 mi soothwast o Tozeur (airport; regular services tae an frae Tunis, Monastir, an Djerba) an 113 km/70 mi soothwast o Gafsa. Frae the bus station (Gare Routière) in Avenue Habib Bourguiba, thare are regular bus services tae Tozeur an Gafsa an a ance-daily service tae Douz an Hazaoua, the frontier post for the crossin intae Algerie.

Mercur (planet)
Mercur (seembol: ) is the smawest an closest tae the Sun o the aicht planets in the Solar Seestem, wi an  orbital period o aboot 88 Yird days. Seen frae the Yird, it appears tae muive aroond its orbit in aboot 116 days, which is much faster than ony ither planet. This rapid motion mey hae led tae it bein named efter the Roman deity Mercur, the fast-flyin messenger tae the gods. Acause it haes almaist na atmosphere tae retain heat, Mercur's surface experiences the greatest temperatur variation o aw the planets, rangin frae 100 K at nicht tae 700 K durin the day at some equatorial regions. The poles are constantly belaw 180 K. Mercur's axis haes the smawest tilt o ony o the Solar Seestem's planets (aboot 1⁄30 o a degree), but it haes the lairgest orbital eccentricity. At aphelion, Mercur is aboot 1.5 times as far frae the Sun as it is at perihelion. Mercur's surface is hivily cratered an seemilar in appearance tae the Muin, indicatin that it haes been geologically inactive for billions o years.
Mercur daes nae experience saisons in the same wey as maist ither planets, sic as the Yird. It is locked sae it rotates in a wey that is unique in the Solar Seestem. As seen relative tae the fixed starns, it rotates exactly three times for every twa revolutions it maks aroond its orbit. As seen frae the Sun, in a frame o reference that rotates wi the orbital motion, it appears tae rotate anly ance every twa Mercurian years. An observer on Mercur wad tharefore see anly ane day every twa year.
Acause Mercur's orbit lies within Yird's orbit (as daes Venus's), it can appear in Yird's sky in the mornin or the evenin, but nae in the middle o the nicht. An aa, lik Venus an the Muin, it displays a complete range o phases as it moves aroond its orbit relative tae the Yird. Awtho Mercur can appear as a very bricht object whan viewed frae Yird, its proximity tae the Sun maks it mair difficult tae see than Venus.

Review
Denmark's Mercenary are follaein baunds like In Flames an Soilwork in terms o addin mair symphonic an melodic elements tae their brand o extreme metal with their latest release 11 Dreams. A greater emphasis is placed on catchy vocal heuks, whaur the clean vocal passages frae Mikkel Sandager trade aff wi the mair aggressive daith/black metal stylings frae bass player Hans 'Kral' Andersen. Highly progressive, Mercenary draw influences frae baunds like Soilwork, In Flames, Nevermore, Sentenced, an pretty hintle onything Scandinavian an influential, as well as ocassionally throwin in a bit of thrash. Century Media haes an absolute winner here folks. Aw reports are that the baunds appearance at last years ProgPower USA in Atlanta, Georgie wis a total success, an wi the release o 11 Dreams Mercenary seems set tae carry that momentum even further.

Naitional anthem o Roushie
The Naitional Anthem o the Roushie Federation (Государственный гимн Российской Федерации, Gosudarstvennyj Gimn Rossijskoj Federacii) is the name o the offeecial naitional anthem o Roushie. Its muisical composition an leerics wur adoptit frae the anthem o the Soviet Union, componed bi Alexander Alexandrov, an leericists Sergey Mikhalkov an Gabriel El-Registan. The Soviet anthem wis uised frae 1944, replacin "The Internationale" wi a mair Roushie-centric sang. The anthem wis amendit in 1956 tae remove leerics that haed references tae umwhile Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The anthem wis amendit again in 1977 tae introduce new leerics written bi Mikhalkov.
Public perception o the anthem is mixed amang Roushies. The anthem reminds some o the best days o Roushie an past sacrifices, while it reminds ithers o the violence that occurred unner the rule o Stalin. The Roushie govrenment contends that the anthem is a seembol o the unity o the fowk, an that it respects the past. A 2009 poll showed that 56% o respondents felt proud when hearin the anthem, an 81% liked it. Despite this positive perception, mony fowk canna remember the leerics.

Attica (Αττική, Attikí; ) is an admeenistrative region in Greece, containin Athens, the caipital o Greece.
The history o Attica is tichtly linkit wi that o Athens, which frae the Classical period onwards, wis ane o the maist important ceeties in the auncient warld.
Locatit in the sooth o the kintra, Attica covers aboot 3,808 square kilometres. In addition tae Athens, it contains athin its aurie the ceeties o Piraeus, Eleusis, Megara, Laurium, an Marathon, as well as a sma pairt o the Peloponnese peninsulae an the islands o Salamis, Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Kythira, an Antikythera. Aboot 3,750,000 fowk live in the region, o which mair nor 95% are inhabitants o the Athens metropolitan aurie.
Auncient history
Durin antiquity, the Athenians boastit o being 'autochthonic', which is tae say that they wur the oreeginal inhabitants o the aurie, an haed no muivit tae Attica frae anither place. The traditions current in the classical period recoontit that, durin the Greek Daurk ages, Attica haed become the refuge o the Ionians, a tribe frae the Northren Peloponnese. Supposedly, the Ionians haed been forcit oot o their hameland bi the Achaeans, who haed in turn been forced oot o their hameland bi the Dorian invasion. Supposedly, the Ionians amalgamatit wi the auncient Atticans, who wur efterwards considered thairsels pairt o the Ionian tribe, an spoke the Ionian dialect. Mony Ionians later depairtit frae Attica tae colonise the Aegean coast o Asie Minor, creatin the twal ceeties o Ionia. Durin the Mycenaean period, the Atticans livit in autonomous agricultural societies. The main places whaur prehistoric remains wur foond are Marathon, Rafina, Nea Makri, Brauron, Thorikos, Agios Kosmas, Eleusis, Menidi, Markopoulo, Sparta, Aphidnae an Athens. Aw o these settlements flourished mainly durin the Mycenaean period. Accordin tae tradition, Attica wis composed o twal sma communities durin the reign o the legendary Ionian king o Attica, Cecrops, an these wur later incorporatit intae a single Athenian state durin the reign o the meethical king o Athens, Theseus. Modren historians consider it mair likely that the communities wur progressively incorporatit intae a single Athenian state probably durin the 8t an 7t century BC.
Till the 6t century BC, airistocratic families livit an independent life in the suburbs. Anerlie efter Peisistratus's tyranny an the reforms implementit bi Cleisthenes did the local communities lose their unthirldom an succumb tae the central govrenment in Athens. As a result o these reforms, Attica wis dividit intae approximately a hunder municipalities "dēmoi" (δήμοι) an intae three big lairge sectors: the ceety (άστυ), which comprised the auries o central Athens, Ymittos, Aegaleo an the fuit o Munt Parnes, the coast (παράλια), that includit the auries frae Eleusis tae Cape Sounion an the aurie aroond the ceety (εσωτερικό-μεσογαία), inhabitit bi fowk livin on the north o Munt Parnitha, Pentelicum an the aurie surroondin the muntain o Hymettus. The "dēmoi" wur in their turn dividit intae "trittyes" (τριττύες). A “trittya” frae each o the abuin mentioned sectors constitutit a tribe. Consequently, Attica consistit o ten tribes.
Fortresses
Durin the Classical period, Athens wis fortifeed tae the north bi the fortress o Eleutherae, which is preservit in an amaist perfect condition. Ither fortresses are those o Oenoe, Decelea an Aphidnae. On the coast, Athens wis fortifeed bi the waws at Rhamnus, Thoricus, Sounion, Anavyssos, Piraeus an Eleusis, in order tae protect the mines at Laurium.
Places o wirship
Even though airchaeological remains are foond in nearly the whole aurie o Attica, the maist important o them aw are the remains foond in Eleusis. The wirship o the goddess Demeter an Cora, derivin frae the Mycenaean period, continued till the late years o antiquity. Mony ither types o wirship can be tracit back tae the Prehistoric years. For example, the worship o Pan an the Nymphs wis common in mony auries o Attica such as Marathon, Parnes an Ymittos. The god o wine, Dionysus, wis worshipped mainly in the aurie o Icaria, nouadays the suburb o Dionysus. Iphigeneia an Artemis wur worshippit in Brauron, Artemis in Rafina, Athena on Sounion, Aphrodite on Iera Odos an Apollo in Daphne.
Medieval period
Efter the period o antiquity, Attica came unner Roman, Byzantine, Venetian an Ottoman rule. Durin the Byzantine period, Athens wis invadit bi the Goths unner the commands o Alaric in 396 AD. Attica's population diminished in comparison tae the neighborin aurie o Boeotia.
The steids o historical interest date back tae the 11t an 12t century, when Attica wis unner the rule o the Franks. The great monastery o Dafni that wis built unner Justinian's rule is an isolatit case that does no signify a widespread development o Attica durin the Byzantine period. On the ither haund, the biggins built durin the 11t an 12t century show a greater flourishment, that continued durin the rule o the Franks, who did no impose a strict rule. Durin the Ottoman rule, Athens enjoyed some richts. Housomeivver, that wis no the case for the veelages o Attica. Great auries wur possessed bi the Turks, who terrorized the population wi the help o spachides (σπαχήδες, cavalry). The monasteries o Attica played a crucial role in preservin the Greek element o the veelages.
In spite o its conquerors, Attica managed tae maintain its traditions. This fact is pruiven bi the preservation o the auncient toponyms such as Oropos, Dionysus, Eleusis an Marathon.
Durin the Greek War o Unthirldom, the peasants o Attica wur the first tae revolt (Aprile 1821) an they occupeed Athens an seized the Acropolis, that wis haundit ower tae the Greeks in Juin 1822.
Attica efter 1829
Attica haes, syne 1829, belangit tae the independent Greek state. Frae 1834, Athens wis refoondit an made the new Greek caipital (muivit frae Nauplia in Argolis), an Greek-speakin fowk gradually began tae repopulate Attica. The maist dramatic surge came wi Greek refugees frae Anatolie follaein the population exchynges atween Greece an Turkey unner the Treaty o Lausanne. The day, hintle o Attica is occupeed bi the Athens urban aurie. The modren Greek region o Attica includes classic Attica as well as the Saronic Islands, a sma pairt o the Peloponnese aroond Troezen, an the Ionian Island o Cythera.
Geography
Attica is a triangular peninsulae juttin intae the Aegean Sea. It is naturally dividit tae the north frae Boeotia bi the 10 mi lang Kithairon muntain range. Tae the wast it is bordered bi the sea an canal o Corinth. The Saronic Gulf lees tae the sooth an the island o Euboea lees aff the north an eastren coasts. Mountains separate the peninsulae intae the plains o Pedias, Mesogaia, an Thriasion. The muntains include Hymettus, the eastren portion o the Geraneia, Parnitha, Aigaleo an the Penteli muntains. Fower muntains, Aigaleo, Parnitha, Penteli an Hymettus (clockwise frae the soothwast) delineate the hilly plain on which the Athens-Piraeus metroplex nou spreads. The plain o Mesogaía, nouadays cried Mesógeia, lees tae the east o Munt Hymettus an is bund tae the north bi the fuithills o Munt Penteli, tae the east bi the Euboean Gulf an Munt Myrrhinous (modern Merenta), an tae the sooth bi the muntains o Laurium (modren Lavrio). Athens' watter reservoir, Lake Marathon, is an airtificial lake creatit bi dammin in 1920. Pine an fir forests cover the aurie aroond Parnitha. Hymettus, Penteli, Myrrhinous an Laurium are forestit wi pine trees, whereas the rest are covered bi bushery.
The Cephisus River is the langest river an Parnetha or Parnitha is the heichest muntain in Attica. The prefectur an aw haes pairklands in the Hymettus, Penteli an the Parnitha muntains an the soothren pairt o the peninsulae.
Accordin tae Plato, Attica's auncient bundaries wur fixed bi the Isthmus, an in the direction o the continent they extendit as far as the heights o Cithaeron an Parnes. The bundary line came doun in the direction o the sea, haein the destrict o Oropus on the richt, an wi the river Asopus as the limit on the left.

In the census o 2011, thare wis 476,600 indwallers.
Locatit in the sooth-east o Scotland, Edinburgh is on the east coast o Scotland's Central Belt, alang the Firth o Forth, nearby the North Sea. It haes muckle gaitherin o stane Medieval an Georgian airchitectur.
It haes been the caipital city syne aboot 1437 (replacin Pairth), an is the hame o the Scots Pairlament.

The Auld Toun an New Toun o Edinburgh wis leetit as a UNESCO Warld Heritage Steid in 1995. The city haes mair nor 4500 listit biggins.
Etymology
The oreigin o ceety's name in Scots is unnerstuid tae come frae the Brythonic Din Eidyn (Fort o Eidyn) frae the time whan it wis a Gododdin braefort. In the first century the Romans recordit the Votadini as a Brythonic tribe or kinrick i the aurie, an aboot AD 600 the poem Y Gododdin, uisin the Brythonic mak o thon name, descreives werriours feastin "in Eidin's great haw."
It cam tae be kent bi the Bernician Angles as Edin-burgh. Sum fowk syne jaloused this wis taen frae the Anglo-Saxon for "Edwin's Fort", wi a reference tae the 7t century king Edwin o Northumbrie. Houane'er, syne the name appeiringly predates King Edwin, this isna gey likely ava. The burgh pairt means "fortress" or "wawed curn o biggins" - i.e. a toun or ceity, an is sib tae the German burg an the Laitin parcus. Burgh is jist an owersettin o the Brythonic Din; Edin is untranslatit.
Ither names
The ceety haes the byname Auld Reekie acause whan the biggins wis heatit bi coal an wid ingles, lums wad boak oot muckle colums o thick black reek intae the air.
Sum haes cried Edinburgh the Athens o the North an Auld Greekie efter its intellectual history, an for its topography, wi the Auld Toun o Edinburgh performin a seimilar role tae the Athenian Acropolis. Edinburgh is an aa kent bi twa-thrie Laitin names; Aneda, Edina (that crops up in leeteratur, sic as that o Burns or Fergusson) or Edinensis (that can be seem on monie eddicational biggins).
Edinburgh haes an aa been kent as Dunedin, taen frae the Gaelic Dùn Èideann. Dunedin in New Zealand wis oreiginally cried "New Edinburgh" an is still gied the byname the "Edinburgh o the South". Ben Jonson descreivit it as Britain's ithir ee, an Walter Scott cried it yon Empress o the North.
