# Francesca DiMattio

**Francesca DiMattio** (born 1981) is an American artist born and based in New York City. She makes paintings and ceramic sculpture that weave elements using architectural, design, cultural and historical references.

## Life

DiMattio grew up in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. Her mother was a college counselor and ceramist and her father was a vision scientist in the Physiology Dept. at NYU Medical Center. She attended NYC Public schools including the Lab School and LaGuardia High School of Music and Art graduating in 1999. She received her BFA from the Cooper Union in 2003 and her MFA from Columbia University of the Arts in 2005. She lives and works in New York City and Hillsdale, NY.

## Career

Francesca DiMattio (born 1981) is an American artist born and based in New York City. She makes paintings that weave spaces using architectural, cultural and historical references. Patterns, textures and imagery combine to forge a logical cohesion from apparently disparate and chaotic elements. Large mural works on canvas have been displayed in the Saatchi Gallery in London, Locust Projects in Miami, Salon 94 Bowery in NYC and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

In recent solo shows (2014-8) in New York City and London she has introduced ceramic sculpture that aspires to the monumental via a feminine strength and whimsy. DiMattio fractures and reconfigures a wide array of references including art history, children’s books, cartoons, pop culture, and craft. Though elements seem ready-made, she, in fact, sculpts and glazes everything by hand. Her sculptures are complex and multifaceted—each angle revealing seemingly endless experimentations in ceramic and glazing techniques. Throughout each assemblage, DiMattio’s layering and fragmentation maps a crucial dialogue between cultures and styles, pointing to the plasticity of representation. Through shifts in scale, elements that are typically accents become primary. Things do not behave as expected. Tiny figurines appear over scaled, floral motifs become viral, and torsos morph from flora and fauna. Through painting and the hybridization of art and craft she has introduced a dialogue with the past that has enlivened the contemporary world art scene.

Her ceramic sculptures include monumental candelabras heavy with historical references suggesting the weight of ceramic styles on chaotic post-modern lighting and living. Her totems reference Greek Caryatids carried into a present rethinking of the weight women bear today.A large monstrous 9-foot tall piece, She-Wolf (2018), evokes Yeats’, The Second Coming with its ending …” And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

The Caryatid works “exemplify this penchant for hybridity, each one encapsulating several oppositions between masculine and feminine, playful and serious, contemporary and ancient, high culture and low”(Fullerton). DiMattio takes traditional aspects of femininity and adds different components to the design of the sculpture.“Despite the show’s title, one was immediately struck by the fact that these figures had been liberated from their traditional role as architectural supports”(Fullerton). The layering in her work is not only visual but also figurative, for example the freeing of the caryatid can be looked at as freeing the female body of traditional view. DiMattio also creates paintings that “take architecture as their subject as a means to restructure the concept of space”(Saatchi). In her paintings Ladder and Broken Arch at the Saatchi Gallery,“elements collide into each other, become entangled, and co-exist—complicating our understanding of perspective and space. Her work seems to exist somewhere in between the abstract and the figurative”(Saatchi). In Boston, DiMattio has transformed the Sandra and Gerald Fineberg Art Wall with a complex composition made up of five large-scale canvases. Drawing inspiration from the ICA’s dramatic architecture and waterfront setting, Banquet combines interior and exterior space and incorporates images of ships and the sea. In 2015, DiMattio designed a sculpture, *Chandelobra*, reflected her understanding of overturning the stereotyped image of chandelier that are related to feminine and deconstructing them into a unpredictable, explosive, and unfamiliar object (https://salon94.com/exhibitions/domestic-sculpture/). Another sculpture, *Bloemenhouder* (2015), DiMattio makes hundreds of porcelain and decorated them with flowers. The sculpture are overly occupied with ornaments, and the floral decorations are viral, immersing the bottom of the sculpture. This sculpture represents how DiMattio achieves balance in beauty through destruction and abstract expression. Although some people consider DiMattio’s artwork as deviant, her use of bold styles, glazes and design made audiences think outside of the box and ponder over the traditional way of beauty.

# Paul Pringle

**Paul Pringle** (born 1956) is an American investigative journalist for the *Los Angeles Times* and author of the 2022 book *Bad City: Peril and Power in the City of Angels.*

## Education

Pringle earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and journalism from California State University, Northridge in 1978 and a Master of Arts in journalism from Pennsylvania State University, where he was a columnist for *The Daily Collegian*.

## Career

Before joining the *Los Angeles Times* in 2001, Pringle worked as West Coast bureau chief for *The Dallas Morning News* from 1998 to 2001 and as Los Angeles bureau chief for Copley News Service from 1984 to 1998. He also worked as a stringer for *The Tampa Tribune* and taught journalism part-time at Cal State Northridge.

### *Los Angeles Times*

Pringle is an investigative reporter at the *Los Angeles Times*. He has covered stories that include the 2004 California wildfires, corruption in the Service Employees International Union, misspending in Los Angeles's community colleges, corruption in Bell, California, abuses by the Coliseum Commission, drug use by former USC Keck School of Medicine Dean Carmen Puliafito and a subsequent lack of response by the Pasadena Police Department, and the alleged abuse of women by USC gynecologist George Tyndall.

His book, *Bad City: Peril and Power in the City of Angels*, is a behind-the-scenes look at his investigation into Puliafito and the consequent exposure of corruption at USC, the Pasadena Police Department, and the *Los Angeles Times*. The book was published by Celadon Books in 2022. It describes his year-long struggle to get the story of Puliafito's drug-fueled sexual activities published. Pringle's reporting on the case began with a March 2016 overdose incident, but his superiors at the *Times* refused to publish the story, because they did not want to offend USC. He and colleagues persisted, continuing to research the case, until the *Times* finally published the report in July 2017, long after Puliafito had resigned as dean. Katie Benner of *The New York Times* wrote that "Pringle’s fast-paced book is a master class in investigative journalism," adding "Pringle delivers his account in a torrent of sharp storytelling and righteous score-settling that might seem petty if the stakes were not so grave."

# Nellore Airport

**Nellore Airport** is a proposed greenfield airport project near Dagadarthi, India, intended to serve the Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh. The airport is to be developed on 1,352 acres (5.47 km2) of land with an estimated cost of 368 crore (equivalent to 457 crore or US$55 million in 2023).

## History

### Planning

In 2008, the government of Andhra Pradesh invited for expressions of interest to develop eight minor airports in the state, including an airport at Nellore. Each airport was expected to cost 50 crore (equivalent to 139 crore or US$17 million in 2023). The airports were to be built in 500–600 acres (2.0–2.4 km2) with a runway length of 6,000 feet (1,800 m). The construction of this airport was chosen because Nellore is strategically situated between Vijayawada and Chennai, and Krishnapatnam Port is situated about 25 km (16 mi) from the city. However, AAI has rejected this proposal citing insufficient land available for the construction of the airport.

In 2013, Ministry of Civil Aviation had identified Nellore airport as one of the 50 locations across the country for low-cost airports to be built by the AAI. These airports would be built with bare minimum facilities for aircraft to operate, without compromising on safety and security.

In September 2017, the government of Andhra Pradesh solicited proposals for development of a no-frills greenfield airport at Dagadarthi under a public-private partnership. The development proposal by SCL-Turbo Consortium Pvt. Ltd. was accepted, along with the associated draft concession agreement and financial stipulations. The Arafath Group and ADP Ingénierie was to construct and operate the airport. SCL Turbo has formed a special purpose vehicle (SPV) Nellore International Airport Private Limited for the construction.

### Construction

The airport was to be developed on 1,352 acres (5.47 km2) of land with an estimated cost of 368 crore (equivalent to 457 crore or US$55 million in 2023). The project had received all clearances and approvals from various agencies. As per the agreement, the financial closure for the project was to be achieved by December 2018. On January 26, 2018, during his Republic Day speech, the District Collector R. Mutyala Raju announced that the acquisition of land for the airport was nearly completed.

The foundation stone was laid by then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on January 10, 2019. However, the YSR Congress Party led government, which was elected in May that year, moved to review all the major decisions taken by the previous government. In August 2019, the new government terminated its contract with Nellore International Airport Private Limited to develop the airport. The government said it would complete the project by handing the airport over to the AAI. In July 2020, the government formally scrapped the concession agreement signed with the SCL Turbo consortium. Later in November same year, the government has invited fresh bids from national and international companies for the construction of the airport.

After the government approved the report on Dec 21st 2021, It's expected that the first phase work could start as soon as April 2022.

Neshanic Station comes from the Algonquian language meaning "double stream," and the community featured a station along the defunct South Branch Railroad, later a branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The Lehigh Line of Norfolk Southern Railway (formerly the Lehigh Valley Railroad) still runs on tracks north of the community. Neshanic Station is situated at a latitude of 40.508N and a longitude of -74.73W. It is in the Eastern Standard Time Zone with an elevation of 92 feet.

The South Branch Raritan River passes east of the community. The Elm Street Bridge is a lenticular truss bridge that carries Elm Street (Somerset County Route 667) over the river out of the community to River Road (CR 567).

title: Net acid excretion

abstract:
In renal physiology, net acid excretion (NAE) is the net amount of acid excreted in the urine per unit time. Its value depends on urine flow rate, urine acid concentration, and the concentration of bicarbonate in the urine. NAE is commonly expressed in units of milliliters per minute (ml/min) and is given by the following equation: NAE = V × where
  - V is the volume of urine produced per unit time;
  - [NH4] is the urine concentration of ammonium;
  - [TA] is the urine concentration of titratable acid;
  - [HCO−3] is the urine concentration of bicarbonate.

# Net acid excretion

In renal physiology, **net acid excretion** (**NAE**) is the net amount of acid excreted in the urine per unit time. Its value depends on urine flow rate, urine acid concentration, and the concentration of bicarbonate in the urine (the loss of bicarbonate, a buffering agent, is physiologically equivalent to a gain in acid). NAE is commonly expressed in units of milliliters per minute (ml/min) and is given by the following equation:

$\text{NAE}=V\times {\Bigl (}\[{\ce {NH\_4}\]+\[{\ce {TA}\]-\[{\ce {HCO3-}\]{\Bigr )}}}}$

where

*V* is the volume of urine produced per unit time; \[NH4\] is the urine concentration of ammonium; \[TA\] is the urine concentration of titratable acid (e.g. phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid); \[HCO3\] is the urine concentration of bicarbonate.

## Pathology

Increased net acid excretion is a compensation for respiratory acidosis, while decreased net acid excretion is a compensation for respiratory alkalosis.

text:
# Henry S. Julian

**Henry Saint Julian** (July 23, 1862 – August 26, 1939) was a lawyer and politician from Missouri. He was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 1891 to 1895 and served as chief of police in Kansas City, Missouri.

## Early life

Henry Saint Julian was born on July 23, 1862, in Frankfort, Kentucky. His father was a farmer. His brother was William Alexander Julian. He was related to George W. Julian. He attended public schools and graduated from the Kentucky Military Institute in 1881. Julian graduated with a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School in 1884 and was admitted to the bar.

## Career

After graduating, Julian moved back to Frankfort and practiced law for a year. Julian moved to Kansas City, Missouri in August 1885, to start a law practice.

Julian was a Democrat. In 1888, Julian ran for city attorney of Kansas City but lost to Hawkins. Julian was elected as a member of the Missouri House of Representatives in 1890. He served in this role in 1891, 1892 and 1894. He introduced a bill to tax franchises. The bill was unsuccessful, but it would clear the path for later legislation. In December 1896, Julian was appointed as chief of police of the Kansas City Police Department after the death of L. E. Irwin. He put a stop to the "reign of terror" by instituting "shoot to kill" orders. He resigned as chief of police in April 1897 after charges were filed against him and Governor Lawrence Vest Stephens appointed new police commissioners to replace him.

Julian served as a militia captain in the early 1880s. During the Spanish–American War, in 1898, Julian was commissioned major of the 5th Missouri Volunteers by Governor Stephens and served until the war ended. He served as a captain in Company C of the 7th Regiment. In June 1934, Julian was appointed as assistant attorney general of the United States by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings.

## Personal life

Julian married Winifred Whitsett. They had one daughter, Laura Elizabeth. She died on February 14, 1937. While in Washington, D.C., the Julians lived at 3701 Connecticut Avenue.

Julian died on August 26, 1939, following a thyroid operation at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

# Henry Mullady

**Henry (Harry) Mullady** (a.k.a. **Henry Shaw**) was a Fenian activist. He was part of *The Cuba Five* who were exiled from the U.K. in 1871.

## History

He was arrested at the Ware in Dublin County, about 15 miles from Drogheda, on 7 March 1867, with two others. He was in possession of a loaded revolver and a book of letters. He remained in custody until, in February 1868, along with Ricard O'Sullivan Burke \[a.k.a. George Berry, Edward C. Winslow and Wallace\] and Joseph Theobald Casey (two Fenians accused of involvement in the escape of Thomas Kelly and Timothy Deasy during which a policeman was killed) he was indicted at Warwick Spring Assizes under the name he gave, 'Henry Shaw'. He was reported as being a twenty-six-year-old carpenter, an active Fenian and being able to read and write with difficulty \[his surname was also variously recorded as Millady, Maleady, Mullidy and Mullida (see image)\]. He was with Burke at the purchases of hundreds of rifles, pistols, revolvers and millions of percussion caps and other paraphernalia in Birmingham in 1865, with Burke and Casey in their preparations in Liverpool in 1866 and at several meetings where Fenian plans were made to raid the arsenal at Chester Castle on 11 February 1867. He had been engaged passing messages and as directed by the group's leaders.

The trial of Burke, Casey and Mullady \[as 'Shaw'\] at the Old Bailey was under the charge of treason-felony. Casey was acquitted, Burke sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude and Mullady, sentenced to seven years'. A general amnesty was announced at the beginning of January 1871. Mullady was released from prison on 7 January with conditions: he and four others chose the option of exile to the US. The group left Liverpool aboard the steamship *Cuba*. Upon the ship's arrival on 19 January, they were overwhelmed by a throng of Fenians (Thomas Kelly was secretary to the Fenian Brotherhood making the welcome) and some representatives of the U.S. Government, each in competition to receive them. Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa read out a letter thanking all but announcing they would stay aboard for the night. Mullady's name, as Henry S. Mullady, was appended to the letter thus. The exiles became known as the Cuba Five. A collection had been made for them to start a new life, and the following day they were paraded along Broadway with an accompaniment of the 69th Infantry Regiment (the 'Irish Brigade').

title: Neunkirchen, Lower Franconia

abstract: Neunkirchen is a municipality in the Miltenberg district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany and a member of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft of Erftal, whose seat is in Bürgstadt.

text:
# Neunkirchen, Lower Franconia

**Neunkirchen** (German: \[ˈnɔʏnˌkɪʁçn̩\] ) is a municipality in the Miltenberg district in the *Regierungsbezirk* of Lower Franconia (*Unterfranken*) in Bavaria, Germany and a member of the *Verwaltungsgemeinschaft* (Administrative Community) of Erftal, whose seat is in Bürgstadt.

## Geography

### Location

The rural residential community of Neunkirchen lies in the *Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald*, between Wertheim and Miltenberg.

### Constituent communities

Neunkirchen's *Ortsteile* are Neunkirchen, Richelbach and Umpfenbach.

## History

In 1232, Neunkirchen had its first documentary mention, and for the longest time in its history had the Archbishopric of Mainz as its overlord. It was said to be a well-off farming community.

### Amalgamations

The greater community of Neunkirchen came into being through the merger of the formerly self-administering communities of Neunkirchen, Richelbach and Umpfenbach on 1 July 1975.

## Politics

### Town council

The council is made up of 13 council members, counting the part-time mayor.

|  | WG Umpfenbach | WG | WG Richelbach | **Total** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2002 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 13 seats |

(as at municipal election held on 3 March 2002)

### Coat of arms

The community's arms might be described thus: Per chevron embowed, argent dexter a helm in profile and sinister the head of an abbess's staff gules, and gules a wheel spoked of six of the first.

The knight's helmet stands for Umpfenbach, much of whose mediaeval history was characterized by Imperial, knightly fiefholders, the most important among whom were the Barons of Gudenus. They acquired the community quite late in Imperial history, in 1775 and rendered service thereto on into the 20th century. The abbess's staff refers to Richelbach's relationship with the Altmünster Convent, which was founded in the 8th century and known to have been in Riclelbach by the 13th century. The founding Abbess, Bihildis, is Richelbach's church patron. The Wheel of Mainz, and also the tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) refer to the community's long association with the Electoral state of Mainz, which was landlord to almost all of Neunkirchen and the authority that dispensed law.

The arms have been borne since 1982.

# Henry Parker (Georgia official)

**Henry Parker** (born near Savannah, Georgia, about 1690; died Isle of Hope, Georgia, about 1777) was secretary to the (governor) of Georgia 1750 until 1751. He was Colonial Governor of the state of Georgia from 1751 until 1752.

## Biography

He was the bailiff of Savannah in 1734, whose office was identical to that of magistrate, and shortly afterward, he colonized the Isle of Hope. When the province was divided into two counties in 1741, he became an assistant to Sir William Stephens, president of the Savannah Province, succeeding him in 1750. In that year, he presided over the first assembly in Georgia, in which the executive and the members addressed each other according to parliamentary formalities. When the province surrendered the charter in 1754, he resigned from the governorship and retired to his plantation on Isle of Hope, where he died at an advanced age.

# Henry Parker (bishop)

The Rt Rev **Henry Perrott Parker** (born 1852, Upton Cheyney – d. Ussagara 1888) was an Anglican bishop in the second half of the 19th century.

## Life

Parker was educated privately in Bath and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he gained his BA in 1871 and his MA in 1875.

Parker went out as a missionary to India, becoming chaplain to the Bishop of Calcutta in 1878. In 1879, he'd become Secretary of the Church Mission Society North India Mission, an important position with some influence. However he longed to be more directly involved with evangelism and mission. In 1885 he requested a transfer to central India to work among the Gondi people. Elevation to the episcopate as the second bishop of Mombasa came soon after (Bishop Hannington had been martyred October 29, 1885) and he sailed for Africa, landing in Frere Town (a colony of ex-slaves near Mombasa at a missionary headed by Alexander Mackay, that served as CMS headquarters in Central Africa) November 27, 1886. He died of malaria while on a trip to Ussagara March 26, 1888.

# Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe

The **Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe** or (NALAS) was created in 2001 to enhance the process of democratization and decentralization in south-east Europe. It is currently made up of national associations of local authorities in the region.

## About

The Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South East Europe (NALAS) was established in 2001 under the auspices of the Stability Pact and the Council of Europe. Today, it gathers 14 national or regional local government associations who represent more than 8000 local governments directly elected by around 80 million people. NALAS builds partnerships in order to contribute to the reconciliation and stabilisation process in the region and henceforth contributes to the process of the European integration of the whole region, as well as regional development.

## Background

In May 2001, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe began using voluntary donations from the Swiss Government under the Stability Pact to help create this network now known of NALAS to help strengthen local democracy.

In December 2002, the Congress hosted the network’s first conference in Strasbourg, and, after 18 months’ work, the NALAS statutes were signed in the Council of Europe’s Assembly Chamber during the Plenary Session of the Congress on 27 May 2004.

The first General Assembly of the Association was held in Skopje on 6 September 2005. NALAS is no longer an informal network but rather an association with an official status and an infrastructure which should enable it to become more independent. It can now establish links with international and European organizations and with other associations in the same field and set up specific projects and activity programmes.

## Objectives

NALAS promotes the process of decentralisation in cooperation with central governments and international organisations, considering local self-government as a key issue in the current process of transition affecting the various countries in South-East Europe. NALAS builds partnerships in order to contribute to the reconciliation and stabilisation process in the region and henceforth contributes to the process of the European integration of the whole region.

NALAS initiates and carries out regional initiatives for its members and helps the associations to become viable representatives of local authorities vis-à-vis central government. NALAS aims to provide services to local governments for the benefit of the citizens in the region and wishes to develop itself as the knowledge centre for local government development in South-East Europe, recognised among all relevant stakeholders.

## Strategy

NALAS 2019-2019 Strategy focuses on four strategic objectives:

1. **Sustainable Communities**

Local Governments in SEE have capacity to create sustainable communities based on smart and innovative growth through quality services and job creation.

2. **Stable and Resilient Communities**

Decentralised cooperation contributes to stable, safe, inclusive and resilient SEE communities and regional cohesion.

3. **Improved Services**

SEE Local Government Associations and Local Governments emerging needs are met by a unique knowledge and evidence based policy making and influence, through strategic regional and national partnerships.

4. **Sustainability of the network**

Networks’ sustainability is ensured by using all NALAS potentials.

## Activities

In line with its action plan, the NALAS Secretariat organises advisory concilium and task forces on specific themes important to local government in South-East Europe. NALAS focuses primarily on local finances, urban planning, solid waste and water management, sustainable tourism, institutional development and energy efficiency. They bring together the best experts from the region, competent association staff and professionals employed in the local government administration. These practitioners are most typically heading a local government department and are exposed in the front lines directly facing the consequences and challenges coming from policies and laws which define the system of local government. The task forces on each of these topics develop different projects and activities.

## NALAS Services

1. NALAS Quick Response service is an exclusive service tailored for the needs of NALAS member Local Government Associations. The Quick Response service is specialised in regional ad-hoc information collection and analysis, used by the member Associations in dealing with important policy issues or otherwise negotiating with their respective central governments.

2. The Peer Review is a service designed to facilitate a process of learning from the experience of other NALAS member LGAs on the topic of importance for the member LGA that requests the service (Host Association).

NALAS member LGAs are given a closer look at the Host Association operations and quickly understand key challenges it faces through presentations and meetings with the LGA key staff and external stakeholders. The Peer Reviewers provide advices for future development of the Host Association, drawing from their own perspective and experience. This serves for mutual learning through better understanding of NALAS members and developing joint benchmarks for good performance.

3. NALAS e-Academy is an online platform for development learning designed for local governments of South-East Europe. NALAS e-Academy provides a superb knowledge on topics relevant for local government professionals in the areas of urban planning, energy efficiency, municipal finance, water management, solid waste management and more. Taking advantage of new technologies, the learning experience provided by the NALAS e-Academy is affordable, innovative and practitioner-focused.

## Members

NALAS currently is a network of associations covering more than 4,000 local authorities who have been directly elected by over 60 million citizens in south-east Europe. It is made up of full members (national associations of local authorities from south-east Europe) and associate members (associations of local authorities from countries outside south-east Europe, international associations of local authorities, bodies working in the same areas as local authorities, foundations, international and European organizations, non-governmental organizations and donors), as well as honorary members.

title: Neurophysin I

abstract: Neurophysin I is a carrier protein with a size of 10 KDa and contains 90 to 97 amino acids. It is a cleavage product of preprooxyphysin. It is a neurohypophysial hormone that is transported in vesicles with oxytocin, the other cleavage product, along axons, from magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus to the posterior lobe of the pituitary. Although it is stored in neurosecretory granules with oxytocin and released with oxytocin, its biological action is unclear.

# Neurophysin I

**Neurophysin I** is a carrier protein with a size of 10 KDa and contains 90 to 97 amino acids. It is a cleavage product (formed by splitting of a compound molecule into a simpler one) of preprooxyphysin. It is a neurohypophysial hormone that is transported in vesicles with oxytocin, the other cleavage product, along axons, from magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus to the posterior lobe of the pituitary. Although it is stored in neurosecretory granules with oxytocin and released with oxytocin, its biological action is unclear.

## Function

Neurophysin I is the carrier protein for oxytocin. It is produced in the cell bodies of the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei and transported to its site of release in the axon terminals of the posterior pituitary. Neurophysin I neurons are more prevalent in the paraventricular nuclei while Neurophysin II neurons are more prevalent in the supraoptic nuclei. Vasopressin, a hormone similar in structure to oxytocin, is analogously bound and transported by Neurophysin II. Both hormones are nine residues long, and share seven of these residues. Oxytocin possesses Ile-3 and Leu-8 whereas vasopressin possesses Phe-3 and Arg-8. Both Ile and Phe are hydrophobic amino acids and undergo analogous binding to neurophysins.

## Structure

The amino acid sequence of Neurophysin I is:

NH2 \- Ala - Ala - Pro - Asp - Leu - Asp - Val - Arg - Lys - Cys - Leu - Pro - Cys - Gly - Pro - Gly - Gly - Lys - Gly - Arg - Cys - Phe - Gly - Pro - Asn - Ile - Cys - Cys - Ala - Glu - Glu - Leu - Gly - Cys - Phe - Val - Gly - Thr - Ala - Glu - Ala - Leu - Arg - Cys - Gln - Glu - Glu - Asn - Tyr - Leu - Pro - Ser - Pro - Cys - Gln - Ser - Gly - Gln - Lys - Ala - Cys - Gly - Ser - Gly - Gly - Arg - Cys - Ala - Val - Leu - Gly - Leu - Cys - Cys - Ser - Pro - Asp - Gly - Cys - His - Ala - Asp - Pro - Ala - Cys - Asp - Ala - Glu - Ala - Thr - Phe - Ser - Gln – Arg - OH

# Nettie Parrish Martin

**Marie Antoinette Parrish Hough Martin** (1840 - October 28, 1915) under her pen name **Nettie Parrish Martin** wrote and published two books: *Indian Legends of Early Days* (January 1905 Mayhew Publishing Co), a book of Six Nations Iroquois legends, and *A Pilgrim’s Progress in Other Worlds: Recounting the Wonderful Adventures of Ulysum Storries and His Discovery of the Lost Star Eden* (1908 Mayhew Publishing Co), a work of early science fiction.

## *Indian Legends of Early Days*

“Indian Legends of Early Days” recounts in verse stories that were told to Martin by her grandmother, including "Oneidas", "The Lost Arrow", "Skaneateles", and "Pocahontas". In its forward Martin writes:

> *These "Indian Legends" were given to the writer by her grandmother, who lived near one of the Indian villages of the Six Nations, and spoke their language. Jasper Parrish, (a grandsire) was a missionary and trader among the six tribes, and during his sojourn among them he so endeared himself to all, they named him Sen-ne-oc-ta-wa, meaning "Good Man," and ever after his descendants had only to say that name and every care and kindness was cheerfully given them that the Indians were able to bestow.*

The story, “The Lost Arrow” tells of a Six Nations warrior Os-sa-hin-ta, who is given a special arrowhead of “red flint flecked and streaked with white” that ensures prosperity for its owner. According to the New York Weekly Observer, in 1967, the founder of the Deer Lick Museum in Cattaraugus County, New York stated that he was inspired by the local discovery of an arrowhead matching Martin's description to create the museum.

## *A Pilgrim’s Progress in Other Worlds*

*A Pilgrim’s Progress in Other Worlds* is a novel about interplanetary travel. It is both science fiction and utopian literature. Its hero, Ulyssum Storries, creates a "skycycle" ("a bird-like flying machine powered by electricity and capable of Space Flight") to take him into outer space where he visits Earth's moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and finally the Sun. Each world he visits has a different society, each with a unique relationship between the sexes, leading the protagonist to explore the condition of women across societies. The novel was reviewed by *The Publishers' Weekly* in 1908:

> *He goes to other places in a purely unscientific and unimaginative manner, and returns after ten years, to "smash up" on his own Indiana farm, and to eat his Christmas dinner at his wife's side. The amusing thing in the book is the hero's name, U-ly-sum. By thus carefully dividing it the amusement may be obtained; otherwise the tale is serious, or seriously intended.*

A list of Science Fiction and Utopias by Women, 1818–1949 compiled by L. Timmel Duchamp includes *A Pilgrims Progress in Other Worlds*. *A Pilgrim’s Progress in Other Worlds* is cited in many anthologies including *American Fiction 1901-1925* *and Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature, Volume 1*. In *The Bookman: A Review of Books and Life* the reviewer notes:

> *The author states that this book was suggested by a dream in which her two little boys came from some other world and took her away with them among the stars.*

To ignore the Christian thrust of this imaginative novel is of course a temptation, as the conservative, Missionary tone of the work may seem at odds with contemporary feminist readings. Martin does indeed examine women's role in society, but the overarching project is Dantesque without the demons: to explore the layers and levels of Christian ideology across the extended metaphor of a solar system. The characters are often allegorical (Reliable, Obedience ...) and the quest is the spreading and examination of Biblical truths.

The dedication is to the author's parents. « who, by example and patient teaching taught me early to love the Bible Truths, my Heavenly Father and his son our savior... »

## Republication

*Indian Legends of Early Days* has been republished by Leopold Classic Library, while *A Pilgrim’s Progress in Other Worlds* is available as an e-book.

Like all other Virtual Boy games, *Nester's Funky Bowling* uses a red-and-black color scheme and uses parallax, an optical trick that is used to simulate a 3D effect. There are four ranks that are achieved based on their score, which is based on normal bowling rules - the ranks are Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pro. Players may adjust their character in order to hit it how they like, such as using pins ricocheting or bouncing in order to knock more down.

There are three modes of play, all of which support one or two players. These include Bowling, Challenge, and Practice. In Bowling, players play a standard game of bowling. In Challenge, players must knock down all of the pins that appear with only once chance to do so as the pin set-ups become increasingly difficult. Players are given more points for knocking all of the pins down depending on the difficulty of the shot. In Practice, players may choose from 28 different pin variations. When playing with another player, players pass the Virtual Boy back and forth in between turns.

## Development

*Nester's Funky Bowling* was developed by Saffire Corporation and published by Nintendo for the Virtual Boy console. It was released exclusively in North America in February 1996.

## Reception

*Nester's Funky Bowling* received generally mixed reviews, selling poorly according to *Joystiq* writer Eric Caoili. Tony Brusqul for *The Daily Gazette* criticized the randomized and unrealistic behavior of the ball and pins, and suggested players looking for a bowling game play it on a different system, citing the eye pain incurred from playing. *GamePro* staff called it "challenging and fun at first", but found that it became easy after just a few games. They felt that the graphics improved the game, though adding that they became repetitive over time. *Next Generation* staff regarded it as one of the platform's most enjoyable games, citing its simple interface and non-intrusive visuals. In their review, *Nintendo Power* praised its gameplay, calling it "solid", as well as its modes of play. However, they criticized the two player mechanic, calling the method awkward. It was an editor's pick for *Nintendo Power* editors Scott, Dan, and Henry. They named it one of the top games released for the platform.

In a retrospective over of the Virtual Boy, *Official Nintendo Magazine* called it an average bowling game. GameSpy's Luke McKinney commented that the Virtual Boy's library consisting of "almost five percent" bowling games was a poor decision. Allgame's Scott Alan Marriott called it a fun game for the Virtual Boy, praising the graphics but bemoaning the lack of replay value due to few modes of play and no save function. *Wired*'s Chris Kohler stated that *Nester's Funky Bowling* had increased in price over time.

# Neula

**Neula** (Catalan pronunciation: \[ˈnewlə\], plural: *neules*) is a type of Catalan biscuit, eaten traditionally at Christmas with cava wine, which they are often dipped into, and *torró* nougat. Neula consists of a very thin sheet of a mixture of egg whites, butter, sugar and flour, flavoured with lemon and rolled.

Other popular versions include neules stuffed with torró de Xixona, or covered with a chocolate lay. Traditionally eaten at Christmas, they are also eaten at other times, sometimes with *crema catalana* or ice cream.

## Origin

The noun *neula* comes from the Latin *nebula*, meaning "fog", referring to the biscuit's fine and light texture. Some documents show that neules existed before *torró*, and *torró* has been shown to exist at least in the Middle Ages and was eaten, for example, at Jaume I's daughter's wedding.

## Production

Making neules at home is not easy because of their lightness and slimness, so they are usually bought by Catalonians in professional patisseries.

## Other products

In Belgium there are *gaufres* that, even though they are much thicker and flat, have the same origin as *neules*. The same origin have other some stuffed or not waffles, as Dutch *stroopwafels*. In other regions of Spain there are a sort of rolled biscuits called "barquillos", but they are very much stronger, harder and thicker than waffles and *neules*, bigger than *neules* and they taste different.

# Nevadaville Masonic Temple

The **Nevadaville Masonic Temple** is the Masonic lodge building in the ghost town of Nevadaville, Colorado, just outside of Central City, Colorado.

## History

The building has served and continues to serve one lodge of Freemasons, that of Nevada Lodge No. 4 A.F. & A.M. The lodge was founded by several Masons, with Andrew Mason, one of the early settlers of the American Midwest in search of gold, serving as the lodge's first Worshipful Master. Nevada Lodge No. 4 was originally granted dispensation as Nevada Lodge U.D. (also called Nevada Lodge No. 36) in the Kansas Territory by the Grand Lodge of Kansas on December 22, 1860. When the Kansas Territory became the Colorado Territory in 1861, the Grand Lodge of Colorado was formed, and chartered Nevada Lodge No. 4 by Rev. John Chivington, the first Grand Master of Colorado Masons.

The lodge originally met in an upper room of the Ira H. Morton building in Nevadaville (then called Nevada City) until the town burned in September 1861. Following this the lodge purchased two lots on Main Street (now Nevadaville Road) to build their new building. The entire building cost $7,140, and is credited to M. S. Burhans as the contractor. They also purchased the lot of the former lodge building, which then housed the Order of Red Men. The ground floor of the new Masonic Hall had rental space for shops (such as a meat market and a barbershop), and the upper story contains the 22 foot by 45 foot lodge room along with the Tiler's room and preparation room; the remainder of the second floor was for offices and sleeping quarters. The exterior is primarily load-bearing stone, with a cast-iron storefront.

After the turn of the century the population of Nevadaville began to decline, owing to a gold boom in Leadville, Colorado and elsewhere. Nevadaville practically became a ghost town during World War II. The Nevada Lodge No. 4 ceased using the building, and began to meet in the Central City Masonic Hall, which was final by July 1942. In June 1965 the brethren of Nevada Lodge No. 4 entertained the idea of holding regular lodge meetings once again in the building in Nevadaville, with the purpose of raising funds for restoring the building. The Nevadaville Masonic Temple is still actively used by the lodge members, who continue to restore the building.
