# Simon Gregorčič

**Simon Gregorčič** (15 October 1844 – 24 November 1906) was a Slovene poet and Roman Catholic priest. He is considered the first lyric poet of the Slovene realist poetry and the most melodical Slovene poet.

## Biography

Gregorčič (October 15, 1844 – November 24, 1906) was born in the small mountain village of Vrsno above the Soča river in the County of Gorizia and Gradisca as a second son of a small farmer Jernej Gregorčič and his wife Katarina (maiden name Gaberšček). He had seven siblings. As a young boy he was a shepherd. In 1851, he attended primary school in Libušnje, but was sent to school in Gorizia in 1852. After finishing high school he entered the seminary in Gorizia. He was ordained on October 27, 1867, and became a vicar in Kobarid in September 1868. There he continued with his literary work and together with his friend Ignacij Gruntar in 1871 founded a public reading room. Actually, Ignacij Gruntar was not only very good friend to Simon, but also his patron; in fact, the first poem book by Simon has been published thanks to the financial support of Dr. Ignacij Gruntar, notary in Kobarid and Logatec. In 1872, Dragojila Milek came to Kobarid as a teacher. She was a poet as well. She led the local female choir and she became a secretary of the reading room founded by Gregorčič. His affection to Milek was deemed the reason for his transfer in the spring of 1873. His romantic experience had a great effect on the content of the poet's writing.

In 1873 he was transferred to Rihemberk in the Vipava Valley. After that he was transferred a few more times before retiring in 1903, selling his house and moving into an apartment in Gorizia where he died on November 24, 1906.

## Work

As a student he began writing lyrical poetry which was published in many literary magazines (Slovenski glasnik, Zgodnja Danica, Zvon, Ljubljanski zvon). It is apparent from his work that he was inspired by Romantic poetic forms. Mostly he was writing love, patriotic, life narrative poems and even some epic poems.

His poems, such as the ode "*Soči*" ("To the Soča"), were patriotic in nature, but he also wrote love poems, such as *Kropiti te ne smem* ("I am not allowed to bless you"), and worked in other poetic genres. His most important works were *Človeka nikar*, *Ujetega ptiča tožba ("The Snared Bird's Lament")*, *Moj črni plašč*, *Veseli pastir*, *Nazaj v planinski raj*, *Oljki*.

He succeeded with his first collection *Prvi zvezek Poezij* (1882) and after six years he released his second collection *\[\[Poezijeafourth collection* Četrti zvezek Poezij *(1908) was released.*

Slovene composer Breda Šček set Gregorčič's texts to music.

Influences: Petrarca, Vodnik, Stritar, Prešeren.

# Mounds valley of Eastern Scythia

This site, informally known as "the Siberian Valley of the Kings", revealed a thousand earthen or stone-built mounds built by Scythians in the IX - VII centuries BC and revered by the local population since then.
It is located about 15km from Turan and from the border between Russia and Tuva.

The study of this site began in 1915–1916 with the first excavations by Alexander Vasilyevich Adrianov.

In 2021, a Polish-Russian team discovered the remains of a woman with a gold pectoral ornament and a bronze mirror.

LTD made his literary debut in 1999, publishing his novel *Shortly before the Extraterrestrials Descended Among us* (*Cu puţin timp înaintea coborîrii extratereștrilor printre noi*), at the OuTopos Publishing House. The second revised and expanded edition was published by Polirom Publishing House, in Iași.

In 2000, he went on to publish a collection of short stories entitled *The World Seen through a Hole the Width of a Spliff* (*Lumea văzută printr-o gaură de mărimea unei țigări marijuana*), Tîrgu Jiu: Constantin Brâncuși Foundation Press.

Critical acclaim arrived in 2002, after Polirom published his novel *Our Circus Presents...* (*Circul nostru vă prezintă:*). The novel was translated into English, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian and Bulgarian. The main character of the book, a man of thirty, lives in a modest flat on the fifth floor of a housing block. Every Sunday, the protagonist performs a kind of ritual: he climbs onto the window ledge and waits for a suicidal urge, which, however, never comes. The events of the novel unfold over the course of three days. On the first day, the young man sets off to the town's railway station in search of prostitutes. On the way, he runs into another young man, known during the story as the "bloke with the orange braces", who has hanged himself from an old steam engine in an unused siding. The protagonist saves him and takes him to the station hospital, from where the bloke with the orange braces discharges himself on his own two feet. The main character will later find the man he saved in a railway workers’ bar. He is unwillingly embroiled in a fight provoked by the bloke with the orange braces, who breaks a chair over the head of one of the prostitutes in the bar, leaving her in a pool of blood. For the second time in the space of the same day, the protagonist saves the bloke with the orange braces, this time from the fury of the drinkers in the bar, and takes him back to his own flat. This is where the entire atmosphere of the story takes shape : a disabused world of strange neighbours and a building superintendent who is an old woman yearning for a relationship with a young man of thirty. During the other two days covered by the action of the novel, we discover that the young protagonist is a member of a kind of club for "professional suicides" – people in search of death, sometimes for the most stupid reasons and in the most bizarre ways: one wants to kill himself by sleeping with as many women of easy virtue as possible, in the hope of contracting a fatal disease; another wants to commit suicide by drinking huge quantities of the finest quality whiskey, until he falls into an alcoholic coma; etc. They are all "suicide artists", and it is into this strange group that the young man of thirty would now like to introduce his new friend. Parallel to these events, the two attempt to find out whether the prostitute in the bar has managed to survive being hit over the head with a chair. The answer will not be revealed until the end of the novel. The finale closes the circle of the tale: during a further visit to the railway station, the protagonist discovers that the prostitute has died. He does not tell his new friend about this. At the same time, however, frightened at the turn that events have taken, he comes up with a plan : he convinces the bloke with the orange braces to go to the station, to the locomotive where he first found him. And he proposes that they both commit suicide. The young man tells his companion that in this way the railway workers will understand that they both regret the incident with the prostitute – and they will be forgiven. In fact, the protagonist's plan is to free himself from the noose and to chase away anyone who tries to save the other, allowing him to die and thereby escaping from any legal consequences of his association with the prostitute's murderer. The plan fails, however, for various reasons – the protagonist does not allow his new friend to die, but rather tells him the truth about the prostitute and about what he has been planning. It all ends with a roar of laughter, an agonised roar of laughter which consecrates the general principle and theme of the book, according to which whoever has failed at everything else in life can only be consistent and fail at his own death.

Same year, 2002, LDT published another collection of short stories, entitled *96-00. Short Stories* (*96-00. Povestiri*), at LiterNet, an online publishing house, in Bucharest.

*Then I Clouted Him Twice* (*Atunci i-am ars două palme*/ short stories, Iași: Polirom, 2004) is divided into three sections. In the first, the texts centre on the grotesque side of insignificant events, and the humour tempers the dramatic intensity of situations in which we all might find ourselves. The second, autobiographical section is in fact a short novel about childhood during the communist period, in which a cruel system is presented from the viewpoint of a child. Finally, the short stories of the third section have a social and sometimes political moral, displaying a dark, dry humour, which often borders on the absurd. The book was published into German in 2009 (*Dann ist mir die Hand ausgerutscht*, Ludwisburg: Pop Verlag).

The next book of LDT, a novel entitled *The Other Love Stories* (*Celelalte povești de dragoste*), was published by Polirom in 2009, and it was translated into: Italian, French, Polish and Bulgarian. *The Other Love Stories* might be regarded as a modular novel. Its eleven sequences can function both as self-contained prose pieces and as episodes in a single narrative, whose central theme is failed love. This failure can unfold at a number of levels, with each "story" bringing with it an additional nuance, an additional idea to give shape to the whole. In the book, two central characters pass from one sequence to the next, namely the character of the narrator, who is a journalist for a local newspaper, and his wife. Their story takes shape not only by means of narratives from various periods in the narrator's life (childhood, adolescence, the present), but also in the tales of secondary characters, in which the narrator is involved in one way or another. One after the other and in surprising ways, all these sequences provide various angles from which love can be viewed, while failure, an idea that insinuates itself at the close of the volume, demands that each separate story and each choice made at one time or another by the central character should be re-evaluated. One of the sequences of the book, entitled *Goose Chase*, was published in the acclaimed American anthology Best European Fiction – 2011, ed. by Aleksandar Hemon, Dalkey Archive Press.

A resounding success with public and critics alike, his latest novel, *Matei the Brown* (*Matei Brunul*), Iași: Polirom, 2011, was awarded numerous prizes and has been translated into French, at Gaïa Éditions, and it was very well received by the press. The novel has been translated also into Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish, and is due to be translated into English and to be published by (Dalkey Archive Press). *Matei The Brown* is set in the period between 1945 and 1959. The novel's protagonist, Bruno Matei, a Romanian puppeteer of Italian ancestry, is presented from two different perspectives, on two narrative levels. In the first, which unfolds in Iași, over the course of the year 1959, he is suffering from partial amnesia following an accident, and is a free man, albeit constantly shadowed by Bojin, the secret policeman assigned to him. A relationship develops between him and the secret policeman, and a series of ‘mysteries’ regarding Bruno Matei's past life are placed in circulation. As a diversion, the Securitate invents dramatic events in the main character's past, events which obviously never took place, but whose sole purpose is to remould his present, to make him docile and obedient to the new totalitarian order. The second narrative, equal in length to the first, focuses on Bruno Matei's real past, spent in four communist prisons: the Uranus Penitentiary in Bucharest, the Valea Neagră Peninsula Penal Colony, Galaţi Penitentiary, and Iași Penitentiary. The two narratives unfold in parallel, so that the Securitate’s diversionary actions are one by one exploded by the often disarmingly innocent story of a man crushed beneath the juggernaut of the social and political changes that swept Eastern Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. *Matei the Brown* is the first purely fictional work to explore the communist prison system in Romanian literature. The blurb for the back cover of the English edition of the novel (in print) is written by the acclaimed writer and literary critic David Lodge. He wrote: "So many excellent novels have been written about life under communism in Soviet Russia and the countries of Eastern Europe that it difficult for any writer today to find an original way to depict the oppressiveness, inhumanity, and institutionalised injustice of those regimes before they began to collapse in 1989. But Lucian Dan Teodorovici has succeeded in «Matei Brunul». \[...\] It is a remarkable achievement by a writer who was born in 1975 and had no personal experience of the era it describes, bearing comparison with classics of the genre such as Milan Kundera's «The Joke». Such books are salutary reminders to British readers of how lucky we are never to have lived in a totalitarian state".

His most recent novel, *The One Who Calls the Dogs* (*Cel care cheamă câinii*), has been published in 2017 by Polirom Publishing House, and it is an autobiographical novel written while the author was struggling to fight against lymph cancer. This novel also has a great success in Romania, with many good reviews.

# Necare

**Necare** was an American death-doom metal band, from Newport News, Virginia, United States. It was composed by only two members: Ryan Henry, or R.H., (guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals) and Jonathan Greer Cawthon, or G.C., (drums, guitar and keyboards). The group uses both death grunts and clean vocals and sporadically uses violin and other elements in its songs, considered mournful and bleak.

## History

Necare was created in 1999. It was composed of only two members, who present themselves by their initial letters (R.H. and G.C.), but counted on the contribution of many guest musicians. The band has never played live; it was a studio band. The name of the band is a Latin verb meaning "to kill", "to murder", or "to destroy". The band project is to discuss about death and the crisis of mankind and religions, which can no longer convincingly explain tragedy of life. It was influenced specially by English doom metal bands, such as Anathema and My Dying Bride and other metal bands, such as Iron Maiden and Chuck Schuldiner. Their lyrics where influenced by the singer Aaron Stainthorpe and some English and American poets, such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, Alfred Tennyson, Wilfred Owen and Sylvia Plath.

Before forming Necare, Ryan Henry and Greer Cawthon played together in another band. However, dissatisfied with the project of the band, they came out and created Necare. In the same year the band was created, Necare recorded a demo album, named *Ophelia*. This album counted with the participation of two guest musicians: April Leightty (violin) and Erin Vernon (vocals). However, it was never released.

One year later, Necare recorded its second independent album, *Rite of Shrouds*. In 2001, the band recorded another independent album, its third, *Appassionata*. There were five guest musicians playing in this album: Andy Henson (guitar), Erin Vernon (vocals), Amy Caroline Parker (vocals), April Leightty (violin) and Ben Snider (violin).

In 2004, Necare recorded its fourth album on Firebox Records, named *Ruin*. Produced by Jhon Ackerman, the recording process took about one year to get finished. The album counts with two guest musicians: Jhon Ackerman (guitar) and Laura (violin); all the other instruments were played by the band's own members. Its songs criticise religion and its failure in explaining mortality. They also try to balance distortions and melancholy with long and slow songs.

Despite all the work together, Necare's members were always involved in other musical projects. The band officially disbanded in 2004 when Ryan Henry moved on to his funeral-doom metal band Reclusiam. That same year, he was also invited to compose, as a guest musician, the Swedish Gothic-doom metal band Draconian.

title: Necrotizing pneumonia

abstract:
Necrotizing pneumonia (NP), also known as cavitary pneumonia or cavitatory necrosis, is a rare but severe complication of lung parenchymal infection. In necrotizing pneumonia, there is a substantial liquefaction following death of the lung tissue, which may lead to gangrene formation in the lung. In most cases patients with NP have fever, cough and bad breath, and those with more indolent infections have weight loss. Often patients clinically present with acute respiratory failure. The most common pathogens responsible for NP are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Diagnosis is usually done by chest imaging, e.g. chest X-ray or CT scan. Among these, a CT scan is the most sensitive test, which shows loss of lung architecture and multiple small thin walled cavities. Often cultures from bronchoalveolar lavage and blood may be done for identification of the causative organism(s).
It is primarily managed by supportive care along with appropriate antibiotics. However, if a patient develops severe complications like sepsis or fails to medical therapy, surgical resection is a reasonable option for saving life.

# Necrotizing pneumonia

**Necrotizing pneumonia** (NP), also known as **cavitary pneumonia** or **cavitatory necrosis**, is a rare but severe complication of lung parenchymal infection. In necrotizing pneumonia, there is a substantial liquefaction following death of the lung tissue, which may lead to gangrene formation in the lung. In most cases patients with NP have fever, cough and bad breath, and those with more indolent infections have weight loss. Often patients clinically present with acute respiratory failure. The most common pathogens responsible for NP are *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Klebsiella pneumoniae*. Diagnosis is usually done by chest imaging, e.g. chest X-ray or CT scan. Among these, a CT scan is the most sensitive test, which shows loss of lung architecture and multiple small thin walled cavities. Often cultures from bronchoalveolar lavage and blood may be done for identification of the causative organism(s). It is primarily managed by supportive care along with appropriate antibiotics. However, if a patient develops severe complications like sepsis or fails to medical therapy, surgical resection is a reasonable option for saving life.

## History

NP in adults was first described in the 1940s, whereas in children it was reported later in 1994. Necrotizing pneumonia is an ancient disease which was once a leading cause of death in both adults and children. Its clinical features were presumably first outlined by Hippocrates. Later, in 1826, René Laennec described these features in a more detailed fashion in his seminal work *De l’auscultation médiate ou Traité du Diagnostic des Maladies des Poumon et du Coeur* (*A treatise on the diseases of the chest, and on mediate auscultation*). Although availability of appropriate antibiotics had made NP a rare disease, over the last two decades it has emerged as a severe complication of childhood pneumonia.

## Causative organisms

The most common pathogens responsible for NP are *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, *Staphylococcus aureus* and *Klebsiella pneumoniae*. Other pathogens which are less likely to cause NP are bacteria like *Haemophilus influenzae*, *Streptococcus anginosus* group, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, *Mycoplasma pneumoniae*, *Acinetobacter baumannii*, *Streptococcus pyogenes*, and *Stenotrophomonas maltophilia*; anaerobes like *Fusobacterium nucleatum* and *Bacteroides fragilis*; fungi like *Aspergillus* sp. and *Histoplasma capsulatum*; and viruses like *Orthomyxoviridae* and *Adenoviridae*.

### Children

Apart from *Streptococcus pneumoniae* (also known as pneumococcus), several other organisms have appeared to cause necrotizing pneumonia in children since 2002. Most of the aforementioned organisms have been reported to be associated with childhood NP, except that *K. pneumoniae* is not a common cause in children. However, pneumococci and *S. aureus* are frequently responsible for it. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) covering serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F was introduced in the USA in 2000. Consequently, non-PCV7 serotypes like 3, 5, 7F 19A emerged as new threats. Of this, serotypes 3 and 19A were particularly associated with NP. In 2010 PCV7 was replaced by a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). PCV13 includes all PCV7 serotypes plus six additional serotypes (1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F & 19A). Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) producing *S. aureus* strains are oftentimes responsible for life-threatening necrotizing pneumonia in previously healthy children and young adults. These PVL-producing strains are frequently methicillin-resistant (MRSA). In developing countries with high rates of HIV infection, *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* is the common cause of NP in children.

### Adults

Adults are more commonly affected by community-acquired *Staphylococcus aureus*, *S. pneumoniae* and *K. pneumoniae*. Gram-negative organisms like *K. pneumoniae* and *P. aeruginosa* are usually associated with pulmonary gangrene.

## Predisposing risk factors

### Adults

Necrotizing pneumonia typically occurs in adult males who have coexisting health problems like diabetes mellitus, alcohol use disorder, and corticosteroid therapy. Other risk factors may include smoking, gastrectomy, history of substance use disorder or HIV/AIDS.

### Children

On the contrary, in most of the cases children of both sexes are affected equally. Furthermore, it is unlikely that affected children have any underlying co-morbidities, but if any, asthma is the most common chronic disorder followed by recurrent otitis media.

### Relationship with viral infection

Group A streptococcus such as *S. pyogenes*, often preceded by varicella infection, may cause severe invasive infections and complicated childhood pneumonia. Influenza virus infection substantially increases the risk of developing necrotizing pneumonia in children mostly by PVL-producing *S. aureus* followed by *S. pneumoniae*. In the United States it is observed that NP has increased following influenza owing to the emergence of MRSA strain USA300 infections.

## Additional imaging

a) Initial plain chest radiograph showing a dense right upper zone airspace opacity and lingula airspace changes, consistent with multi-focal pneumonia. The following images were performed 24 h later. b) Plain chest radiograph with the patient intubated and ventilated revealing cavitation in the right mid to upper zones, pleural effusion and more general airspace changes bilaterally. c) Computed tomography (CT) scan, coronal view, demonstrating non-enhancing area (necrotic) thin-walled cavities within the right upper lobe and lingula. d) Lung ultrasonographic image displaying thin-walled cavities in the lingula region of the left lung. This requires further clarification.

# Zygocarpum caeruleum

***Zygocarpum caeruleum*** is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a shrub or tree endemic to Socotra in Yemen. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.

## Habitat

Common in semi-deciduous woodland and shrubland, mainly on the limestone plateaus but also on granite in the Hajhir Mountains, at elevations of (50–)200–800 m.

Recognized by the violet-blue flowers. Usually a slender tree or shrub but can be prostrate in windswept places on the limestone plateau. However, it is easily recognized, even when not in flower, by the distinctive purplish black line along the midrib on the undersurface of the leaflets.

**Église Saint-Dominique de Bonifacio** is a church in Bonifacio, Corse-du-Sud, southeastern Corsica. It is the largest church on the island.

The church is located within the walls of an old Dominican convent, now defunct, in the western part of the historic center, next to City Hall of Bonifacio. The church was built from the late thirteenth century. The building was classified as a Historic Monument in 1862.

## Description

The church has elements of the Gothic architectural style, although the simplicity of its exterior architecture is reminiscent of the Romanesque. The presence of elements of Gothic style is particularly rare in Corsica. Its bell tower has a unique structure: a square base, then it becomes octagonal and is crowned by battlements. The plan consists of a nave with six bays and two square chapels on the sides.
