# Quinta do Lago

**Quinta do Lago** is a golf resort in Almancil, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. Quinta do Lago comprises one of the three corners of the Golden Triangle of the Algarve's most affluent communities.

The community hosted the Portuguese Open, part of the PGA European Tour, in 1976, 1984–1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, and most recently in 2001.

## History

Quinta do Lago was founded in 1971 by Polish-Brazilian property developer André Jordan, three years after the end of Salazar's rule.

The original 550-hectare site, "Quinta dos Ramalhos" (Ramalhos Estate), contained the ruins of an old farmhouse (today "Casa Velha", having been rebuilt as a restaurant in 1972), a stone pine forest adjacent to both the Ria Formosa and the growing resort of Vale do Lobo which had been founded eight years earlier. Jordan's company, Planal, acquired the property on 20 December 1971. The Pinto de Magalhães family previously owned the large beach-lined estate for over 300 years. Within three years, a bridge to the beach had been built to the beach, the lake was created over the salty sands, and 27 holes of golf designed by architect William F. Mitchell had been completed.

Following the 1974 Carnation revolution, Andre Jordan returned to Brazil, leaving the Portuguese state to manage. In 1974, revolutionary leader Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho presided over the golf courses' inauguration; in 1976, the Portuguese Open was held in Quinta do Lago for the first time.

In 1981, Portuguese politics stabilised, and Quinta do Lago management was returned to Planal, and Jordan returned to Portugal. The Portuguese Open was again held in Quinta do Lago in 1984–86. In 1986, the Four Seasons Country Club opened in the heart of Quinta, followed by the Four Seasons Fairways; neither resort is related to the Canadian Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts group.

In 1987, Jordan sold the resort (i.e. Planal, the holding company) to a consortium of British shareholders headed by Roger Abraham, a former banker at Chase Manhattan Bank, and food entrepreneur David Thompson. By 1989, Abraham had withdrawn, and Thompson headed the resort alone. The Portuguese Open was held in the resort again in 1988-90 and 2001.

In 1998, Planal was acquired by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien.

title: Quinta do Arco

abstract: Roseiral Quinta do Arco is a rose garden located in the former estate of Quinta do Arco in the place Arco de São Jorge on the island Madeira. The garden is available to the public from April to December. The roses in the garden are collected by the lawyer, politician, and rose hobbyist Miguel Albuquerque, who was the mayor of Funchal from 1994 to 2013, and who is the president of the Portuguese autonomous region of Madeira since 2015. Throughout the year, the garden was private property. The garden consists of 1550 different types of roses and rose cultivars with a total of about 17,000 specimens of roses both old and new. In 2006, Miguel Albuquerque published a book where he writes about a few of the most important roses from the garden. The rosarium contains a few rare rose species, for example, the indigenous rose Rosa mandonii. Albuquerque is also busy with rose breeding; the rose 'Lagoa' is, for example, a rose created by him in 2015.

Despite its unsettled origin, the dessert gained national popularity in the 1950s and remains a Canadian staple.

## Overview

Queen Elizabeth cake is a dessert cake prepared with sugar, flour, dates, eggs, and butter, and topped with a sugary icing infused with shredded coconut. The cake is named after Elizabeth II. It is a popular cake in Canada. The coconut topping is prepared by broiling or grilling. The icing is prepared using a caramel base. The dates used are chopped, and give the cake a dark coloration. Chopped walnuts or other types of nuts are sometimes used atop the cake. Queen Elizabeth cake is low in fat compared to other cakes, and has a moist consistency. It is sometimes served accompanied with tea. The cake is common at farmers markets and bake sales. It is sometimes purveyed at pastry shops in Canada.

## History

An account of Queen Elizabeth cake's origins is that it was prepared for the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. During this time, food rationing still existed in Great Britain, and a cake with few ingredients was in order. Another account is that the cake was invented for the 1937 coronation of King George VI and the Queen Mother Queen Elizabeth.

A recipe for Queen Elizabeth cake was published by the *Coronation Cook Book* in 1953 in celebration of Elizabeth II's coronation.

# Qutu Tong

**Qutu Tong** (557 – 19 November 628), titled **Duke of Jiang**, Xianbei name **Tandouba** (坦豆拔), was a general in the Sui and Tang dynasties of China. He was listed as one of 24 founding officials of the Tang dynasty honored on the Lingyan Pavilion due to his contributions in wars during the transitional period from Sui to Tang.

## Personal life

Qutu Tong is a descendant of Xianbei people. Originally, he was a general serving for the Sui dynasty. In his early years, he was sent to Liangzhou by Emperor Wen of Sui to inspect the horse trading run by local governors and generals. He discovered serious corruption in the horse market that involved hundreds of people in local government and the local army. The emperor was extremely angry and planned to execute all people involved in this corruption. Many other officials in the central court agreed with the emperor's decision. However, Qutu Tong thought that although those people were guilty, it was too brutal to kill them all. He said to the emperor that human lives were way more important than horses. He would sacrifice his own life in order to save hundreds of lives, so that people would not criticize the emperor for his brutality. The emperor was impressed by Qutu Tong's argument and gave his pardon to those hundreds of people.

Qutu Tong was promoted to a higher position in the army after Emperor Yang of Sui took the throne. When the emperor was in the frontline against Goguryeo or touring the southern China along the Grand Canal, Qutu Tong was responsible for defending the de facto vice capital city of Luoyang. In 613, Qutu Tong took part in the battle that defeated the rebellion army led by Yang Xuangan near Luoyang. In 614, Qutu Tong suppressed the peasant uprising led by Liu Jialun in Yan'an.

In 618, Li Yuan (Emperor Gaozu of Tang) established the Tang dynasty and attacked the region guarded by Qutu Tong. Initially, Qutu Tong was able to defeat the Tang's army led by Liu Wenjing. However, due to the short of supply and the low morale of soldiers, Qutu Tong was defeated by Tang's army. Qutu Tong and Sang Xianhe submitted to the Tang dynasty after this battle, and was promoted to be the chief minister (Shangshu) of the Ministry of Wars by Emperor Gaozu. Soon after that, Qutu Tong became a follower to Li Shimin, the then Prince of Qin. With Li Shimin, Qutu Tong took part in many battles during the unification war. In the later half of 618, Li Shimin defeated Xue Renguo, the warlord based in Jincheng, during the Battle of Qianshuiyuan. After this battle, many Tang generals grabbed treasures from Xue Renguo's warehouse, but Qutu Tong refused to join them. He was thus praised by the emperor.

From 619 to 620, Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou, the warlord stationed in northern Shanxi. Quto Tong took part in this campaign. In 621, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji led Tang forces to attack Wang Shichong, the warlord in Luoyang. Qutu Tong played a significant role in this campaign. When Li Shimin was making an inspection tour at Xuanwuling (the imperial tomb of the Northern Wei dynasty, which is to the north of Luoyang), he was ambushed by Shan Xiongxin, the best general serving for Wang Shichong. Yuchi Jingde, another Tang general, saved Li Shimin and defeated Shan Xiongxin at Xuanwuling. Qutu Tong took this chance to launch an attack to Wang Shichong's headquarter. This attack caused remarkable damage to Wang's army, and Qutu Tong successfully captured Chen Zhilve, one of top generals in Wang's army.

In 621, Dou Jiande, another warlord based in Hebei, led his army marching towards Luoyang trying to save Wang Shichong. Li Shimin led 3000 elite soldiers defeated Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass. During the same time, Qutu Tong played a large role in assisting Li Yuanji in besieging Luoyang so that Wang Shichong could not join forces with Dou Jiande. After the Battle of Hulao, Qutu Tong was rewarded the highest military achievement, and was promoted to the Grand Commander of Shaandong Military Circuit.

When the rivalry between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, was heating up, Qutu Tong chose to stick with Li Shimin. He supported Li Shimin during the Xuanwu Gate Incident in 626 that won Li Shimin the crown of emperor. Li Shimin further promoted and rewarded him after the incident. In 628, Qutu Tong died in Luoyang. In 634, Qutu Tong was listed as one of 24 founding officials of the Tang dynasty and had his portrayal exhibited on the Lingyan Pavilion.

D̲j̲alāl al-dīn Mak̲h̲dūm-i D̲j̲ahāniyān aka Ḳuṭb-i ʿĀlam aka T̲h̲ānī-i Mak̲h̲dūm-i D̲j̲ahāniyān (Maʿārid̲j̲) was a Suhrawardī saint and founder of the Buk̲h̲āriyya Sayyids of Gud̲j̲arāt. He was the grandson of D̲j̲alāl al-dīn Mak̲h̲dūm-i D̲j̲ahāniyān and was born in 1388 in Uchch. According to the *Mirʾāt-i Aḥmadī* he became an orphan at the age of ten and was raised by his granduncle S̲h̲āh Rād̲j̲ū Ḳattāl who sent him to Gud̲j̲arāt. In Gud̲j̲arāt he was welcomed by his grandfather's disciple Sulṭān Muẓaffar S̲h̲āh I. He studied under Mawlānā ʿAlīs̲h̲īr Gud̲j̲arātī, and after the founding of Aḥmadābād he first settled in Asāual and then at Baṭvā. He received a Ḵh̲irḳa from S̲h̲ayk̲h̲ Aḥmad-i K’hattū. His most notable disciple was his son S̲h̲āh ʿĀlam.

The nobles of the courts of Ahmed Shah, Sultan Qutubuddin Ahmad Shah II raised a small shrine first. Afterwards a mosque, a tomb to one of his sons, a large many-sided pond, and a vast mausoleum was built Mahmud Begada. The mosque and son's tomb are in the flat Hindu style without arches or minarets. But in the large mausoleum, with a great gain in size, the arch takes the place of the beam, and the dome is raised high in air by a second tier of arches. The arch, uniformly used with one consistent design, has much beauty and propriety. The tomb is of the most elaborate workmanship surmounted by a richly inlaid canopy. But although the building is incomplete, it wants the outer aisles and has no stone trellis work in its windows.

title: Queenstown Public Library

abstract: Queenstown Public Library is one of the 26 public libraries established by the National Library Board of Singapore. It was the first full-time Branch Library to be built by the National Library in its plan to decentralise home reading services. It pioneered several firsts amongst Branch Libraries, including becoming the first fully air-conditioned Branch in 1978, computerising its loan services in 1987, and lending video cassettes in 1997. It was refurbished in 2003. The building plans were approved by Mrs Hedwig Anuar, the then-Director of the National Library. Building construction began in November 1968 and with its completion, the building was handed over to the National Library on 26 December 1969. It is currently the oldest library in Singapore after the original National Library at Stamford Road was torn down, the first of 26 under the National Library Board (NLB) to be preserved as announced on 25 July 2014 and was gazetted for conservation under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Master Plan 2014, as part of the medium-term physical development of Singapore on 6 June that year. Located along Margaret Drive within walking distance of Queenstown MRT station, it serves the residents of Alexandra, Bukit Timah, Buona Vista, Clementi, Commonwealth, Dover, Ghim Moh, Holland, Pasir Panjang, Queenstown, Tanglin Halt and Ulu Pandan.

The pair were originally members of James Last's British Choir for a number of years. They had a hit single in the mid 1970s with their self penned song "We Do It".

Their second album did not do well and a third album, although recorded, was never released. Joanne Stone died of a brain tumour in 1979. Russell Stone later went to Munich to work with the Icelander Thor Baldursson. Stone, a recovered alcoholic, has released three solo albums – Love Aspects (2013), Groove Aspects (2014) and Devotional Aspects (2016) – after spending years out of the music industry.

title: Queen's Hotel, Kandy

abstract: The Queen's Hotel is an 80-room British Colonial style three star hotel, located at central hill capital Kandy in Sri Lanka. Located in the center of the city at end of the main street, this former Governor's residence is one of the oldest hotels in Sri Lanka with a history of over 160 years. It is currently managed by the Ceylon Hotels Corporation PLC. The hotel was originally constructed as a residence, the 'Dullawe Walauwa', designed by Devendra Mulachariya on instructions from King Sri Vickrama Rajasinha. Soon after the British defeated the Kandyan Kingdom in 1815, it was adapted as a mansion for the Governor of Ceylon, with adjoining buildings constructed to house British troops. The building was subsequently converted into the barracks for the Ceylon Rifle Regiment. In 1840 it was used as a hostel, known as Malabar House, due to its location on Malabar Street. It was then operated as a boarding house, known as the Stainton Hotel, managed by James Stainton. After his death in 1863 his wife continued to run the business until 1869. In 1869 it opened under new management, the Queens Hotel Company, and its name was changed to the Queens Hotel. In 1895 it was acquired by Kandy Hotels Company Limited who undertook extensive enlargements and improvements to the building, in order to make it into a first-class hotel. Notable attractions of the hotel are the Queen of Hearts restaurant, Royal Ball Room and The Pub Royal, the latter being the only British Pub in the city that offers service with old colonial flavor. The Lord Mountbatten Lounge Bar was named after Lord Mountbatten of Burma who was a frequent guest at the Queen's when he was the Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia Theatre with the South East Asia Command based in Kandy.

title: RCAF Station Cranberry Portage

abstract: Royal Canadian Air Force Station Cranberry Portage was a military installation located in Cranberry Portage, Manitoba. Located on Athapapuskow Lake, RCAF Cranberry Portage was one of eight Sector Control Stations on the Mid-Canada Line system of early warning radar stations. Each SCS received signals from a series of unmanned doppler transmitters located approximately 50 km apart. In Cranberry Portage, radio wave signals were transmitted along the chain of stations to the SCS, then to RCAF Station North Bay by land line. The radar station achieved full strength in April 1957 and was supported by RCAF Station Winnipeg. The Mid-Canada Line operations ceased in January 1964 and RCAF Station Cranberry Portage was turned over by the Department of National Defence to the Government of Manitoba for civilian use.

**Royal Canadian Air Force Station Cranberry Portage** (also **RCAF Station Cranberry Portage**) was a military installation located in Cranberry Portage, Manitoba.

Located on Athapapuskow Lake, RCAF Cranberry Portage was one of eight Sector Control Stations (SCS 700) on the Mid-Canada Line system of early warning radar stations. Each SCS received signals from a series of unmanned doppler transmitters located approximately 50 km apart. In Cranberry Portage, radio wave signals were transmitted along the chain of stations to the SCS, then to RCAF Station North Bay by land line.

The Mid-Canada Line operations ceased in January 1964 and RCAF Station Cranberry Portage was turned over by the Department of National Defence to the Government of Manitoba for civilian use.

## Civilian use

The residential and other facilities were used by the Frontier School Division and by the late 1960s, the Frontier Collegiate Institute was established, using one of the barracks as the Frontier Collegiate Residence, as well as the Area Four Administrative Office.

Today, the former mess hall provides all dietary services to high school students who reside on campus. The former Officers Mess is utilized primarily as a meeting room and location for large group presentations, and though the bar is still present, it has not been used for its intended purpose since the change of ownership. The helicopter hangar is now the home to the Area Four school buses. Officers houses are now homes provided to teachers at subsidized rents, while the three barracks are used only for storage. The facility-wide mechanical systems are also still operational including an underground freshwater storage tank.

# Williams Lake Mustangs (1978–1996)

The **Williams Lake Mustangs** was a Junior ice hockey team from Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada from 1978-1996. They were members of the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League.

## History

The Williams Lake Mustangs were founded in 1978 as members of the Peace-Cariboo Junior B League. In 1980, with the Peace-Cariboo League, the Mustangs were promoted to Junior A.

As members of the Peace-Cariboo League, the Mustangs won the PCJHL Trophy twice as playoff champions. They participated in the 1983 and 1989 Mowat Cup BC Jr. A championships as representatives of the PCJHL. In 1983, the British Columbia Junior Hockey League's Abbotsford Flyers defeated the Mustangs two-games-to-none. In 1989, the BCJHL's Vernon Lakers defeated the Mustangs two-games-to-none.

In 1991, the PCJHL merged with franchises from the Kootenays Region and became the Rocky Mountain League. The Mustangs won the RMJHL league title in 1993 and represented the league for the Mowat Cup. In 1993, the BCHL's Kelowna Spartans defeated the Mustangs three-games-to-none.

In 1996, the RMJHL's Peace-Cariboo division folded, forcing the Mustangs to take a year off. As a result, the Mustangs lost their renewal application for a bingo hall, the main source of revenue for the club. As a result, the club liquidated what they could of their debt. In March 1997, the club announced they would sit out a second consecutive season after failing to find new ownership. Later they lost their arena advertising rights and ceased operations. Junior hockey returned from 2002–2010 when the Williams Lake TimberWolves joined the British Columbia Hockey League, and again in 2024 when the Summerland Steam moved to Williams Lake and became the new Williams Lake Mustangs.

# Teuffenthal

**Teuffenthal** is a municipality in the administrative district of Thun in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

## History

Teuffenthal is first mentioned in 1344 as *Toeffental*.

The land around the modern village and what ever settlements were there belonged to the *Herrschaft* of Heimberg in the 13th century. The Heimberg's were under the authority of the Counts of Kyburg. On 11 November 1382, Rudolf II von Kyburg, attempted unsuccessfully to attack Solothurn. His attack started the *Burgdorferkrieg* (also *Kyburgerkrieg*) with the Old Swiss Confederacy. Bern used the war to expand north into the Aargau and south into the Oberland. After the Kyburg defeat, as part of the peace treaty, Bern bought the city of Thun and all its surrounding lands including Teuffenthal. Under Bernese rule, the small farming village was part of the distant parish of Hilterfingen until 1928 when it joined the parish of Buchen. In 1935 Teuffenthal became an independent parish.

In 1989 a school was founded in the municipality, however in 2008 it closed and the students traveled to the school in Buchen for their education.

Traditionally the rural, agrarian village raised crops and livestock on the valley floor, summered livestock in alpine meadows and cut timber. Agriculture still remains a major part of the local economy. In 2005 a total of 62% of all jobs in the municipality were in agriculture.

## Geography

Teuffenthal has an area of 4.53 km2 (1.75 sq mi).

It lies in the valley of the river Zulg on the north flank of Blueme mountain, some 10 km (6.2 mi) eastward of the district capital Thun. The municipality has no direct center, but consists of isolated hamlets and scattered farm settlements.

On 31 December 2009 Amtsbezirk Thun, the municipality's former district, was dissolved. On the following day, 1 January 2010, it joined the newly created Verwaltungskreis Thun.

# RCAF Station Davidson

**RCAF Station Davidson** was a Second World War air training station located near Davidson, Saskatchewan, Canada.

## History

### World War II

The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), opened No. 23 Elementary Flying Training School (EFTS) at RCAF Station Davidson on 9 November 1942. The school and station were a component of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The school was relocated to RCAF Station Yorkton 19 January 1945 and the station was decommissioned shortly thereafter. No. 23 EFTS was the only RCAF operated EFTS in Canada, and was twice the size of all but 2 EFTS. The school produced 1,513 pilots of whom 973 were RCAF and 540 Royal Air Force.

### Aerodrome information

The airfield was constructed in the typical BCATP wartime pattern, with three runways formed in a triangle. In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed as **RCAF Aerodrome - Davidson, Saskatchewan** at 51°15′N 105°53′W / 51.250°N 105.883°W / 51.250; -105.883 with a variation of 19 degrees east and elevation of 1,985 ft (605 m). Three runways were under construction (serviceable) and listed as follows:

| Runway Name | Length | Width | Surface |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 13/31 | 2,800 ft (850 m) | 100 ft (30 m) | Hard surfaced |
| 7/25 | 2,700 ft (820 m) | 100 ft (30 m) | Hard surfaced |
| 1/19 | 2,900 ft (880 m) | 100 ft (30 m) | Hard surfaced |

### Relief landing field – Davidson West

The only relief landing field for RCAF Station Davidson was located west of the community of Davidson, Saskatchewan. The relief field was constructed in the typical triangular pattern but was listed on decommissioning of the facility as a turf all way field. The cost to develop the aerodrome was $60,673.39. The aerodrome was located on approximately 78 acres of the south west quarter of section 36 in township 26 in range 1, west of the 3rd meridian. Using tools on the Saskatchewan Land titles web page this land description was able to be cross referenced to 51°15′53″N 106°01′07″W / 51.264599°N 106.018625°W / 51.264599; -106.018625. The aerodrome was declared surplus on 15 June 1945 and was officially turned over to the Department of Transportation on 31 October 1945.

### Other occupants

The RCAF Women's Division arrived at the school on 17 May 1943.

No. 205 Reserve Equipment Maintenance Satellite was established at the Station on 1 April 1945.

### Postwar

## Current status

All that remains are cement foundations and the gun butt. From a survey of the location on google maps on 8 Jun 2018 it appears that two of the three runways are badly deteriorated with the last in better condition. several buildings appear to have been built on the old runways.

# Radio Bosanski Petrovac

**Radio Bosanski Petrovac** is a Bosnian local public radio station, broadcasting from Bosanski Petrovac, Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a municipal radio, this station broadcasts a variety of programs such as local news, talk shows and music (from 15:00 - 17:00 hours). Program is mainly produced in Bosnian language at one FM frequency (Bosanski Petrovac 90.9 MHz).

## History

During the competition process for issuing long-term broadcasting licenses in BiH, Radio Bosanski Petrovac was not qualified by the Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in 2002 the radio broadcaster lost the right to broadcast the FM radio program.

Radio Broadcasting License (for AM broadcasting) Radio Bosanski Petrovac used from 2007 to 2018, with a low reception available only within 200 meters of the headquarters. After BHRT has abandoned the launch of the *BH Radio 2* program, reserved frequencies were allocated to other interested stations across Bosnia and Herzegovina through the competition.

The municipality of Bosanski Petrovac as the owner of the radio has acquired new equipment and the signal is emitted via the radio transmitter on Mount Osječenica.

Estimated number of potential listeners of *Radio Bosanski Petrovac* is around 7,666.

Due to the geographical position in Bosanska Krajina area, this radiostation is also available in municipalities: Ključ, Bosanska Krupa, Bosansko Grahovo and in a part of the Lika-Senj County in neighboring Croatia.
