title: Loo-errn

abstract:
In the Australian Aboriginal mythology of the Aboriginal people of south-eastern Australia, Loo-errn is the spirit ancestor and guardian of the Brataualung people, and is also described as an ancestor of the Bunurong people. Loo-errn had his home at Yiruk/Wamoon, and controlled the land between Hoddle's Creek and Yiruk/Wamoon, known as Marr-ne-beek. The myth of Loo-errn holds that if any one not belonging to his country passed through it without his consent, he died an awful death as soon as he arrived at the end of his journey. Loo-errn was great and very powerful. The Loo-errn myth stretches from Coorong, South Australia, to Wilsons Promontory, and is described thus: Loo-errn and his wife Lo-an-tuka were sitting and eating their usual meal of eel when a black swan feather fell from the sky and alerted Looern to the presence of the two Koonawara sisters whom he decided to follow to try and kill to eat. When he followed them onto Wathaurong country, the Elders warned the sisters to stay away from him but he cursed them and turned the sisters into nasty beings. When the Elders then banished
Looern, he chased the sisters across the sky and each time he landed he created granite formations such as the You Yangs and the formations north and west of Anakie, both south of the Parwan, as well as several other locations extending to Wilsons Promontory.

## Launch history

Six launches occurred from Probe Launch Complex C. The first four launches used Aerobee-170 rockets, whilst the last two used Tomahawks. Five of the launches reached space, with the exception of the third Aerobee, which failed early in its flight. The Aerobee launches conducted tests of infrared sensors for anti-ballistic missile systems, whilst the Tomahawks were used for aeronomy research.

# Vincent Isola

**Vincent Isola** (24 July 1862 in Blida, Algeria  31 August 1947 in Paris) was a French theatre director. Along with his older brother Émile Isola with whose life and career he was closely involved, he was a conjurer and theatre director in Paris; they were known as the **Frères Isola** – the Isola Brothers.

## Biography

Born in Algeria of Italian parents, Vincent Isola arrived in Paris in 1880, and with his brother undertook a variety of jobs before they first showed their conjuring act in public. They acquired the Théâtre des Capucines in 1892 and renamed it Théâtre Isola attracting large audiences.

At the end of 1895, the Isola brothers discovered the invention of the Frères Lumière, cinematography, and devised a projector called *Isolatographe* for which the films were provided by another pair of brothers, Frères Emile and Charles Pathé. By colouration of the films they were able to show ‘colour films’ at the Théâtre Isola.

In 1897, they bought the Parisiana and stopped their own act to become theatrical producers. The brothers became the directors of the Olympia in 1898, the Folies Bergère in 1901, and the Gaîté-Lyrique from 1903-1913. As joint directors of the Opéra-Comique from 1914-1925 (with Pierre-Barthélemy Gheusi and subsequently with Albert Carré), they revived *Penelope* by Fauré and *Le Festin de l'araignée* by Roussel, and produced Milhaud's first opera *La brebis égarée*.

Their tenure at the Théâtre Mogador saw the Paris premieres of *No, No, Nanette* and *Rose-Marie*, and revivals of Offenbach operettas.

Directorship of the Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt from 1926 brought about their ruin despite the success of the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev, and of Sacha Guitry and Yvonne Printemps. In 1936 the brothers were obliged to restart touring with their conjuring act. During the occupation of Paris in 1943, they took over the direction of the Théâtre Pigalle. They died in relative obscurity after the war.

In 1917 the Bouffes-Parisiens presented *L'Illusioniste*, a play about the sentimental adventures of a magician, by Guitry inspired by the Isola brothers.

He received the Légion d'Honneur in 1924. He was married three times.

She lost the first preliminary match to Philippines' Mary Antoinette Rivero by a superiority decision from the judges, with a score of 10–10. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Sanchez qualified for the second time in the women's 67 kg class after winning the championship title from the Pan American Qualification Tournament in Cali, Colombia. Sanchez improved her performance from the previous games by defeating Turkey's Sibel Güler in the preliminary round; however, she lost her next match to Canada's Karine Sergerie, who was able to score three points at the end of the game. Because Sergerie advanced further into the final match against South Korea's Hwang Kyung-Seon, Sanchez offered another shot for the bronze medal through the repechage bout, where she was defeated by Australia's Tina Morgan, with a default score of 2–9.

# Mrs. Fisher's

**Mrs. Fisher's, Inc.**, also known as **Mrs. Fishers Potato Chips**, is a regional manufacturer of potato chips founded in Rockford, Illinois. The company was begun in 1932 by Ethel Fisher and today is one of the oldest chip manufacturers in the Midwest and is the recognized brand name of potato chips in parts of the Midwestern United States.

## History

According to the Mrs. Fisher's website, it was Eugene Fisher, Ethel (Feldt) Fisher's husband, who had the idea of producing potato chips. Eugene and Ethel cooked chips to earn extra money during The Depression. The logo for Mrs. Fisher's potato chips, invented by Eugene in the first year of business, has changed little over the years. The logo features a 'potato-man' wearing a top hat dancing in a circle with two children. Packaging for Mrs. Fisher's also features bright red and yellow striping along the edges. Originally, the brand carried the name "Mr. and Mrs. Fisher's"; but when Eugene Fisher later deserted his wife and daughter and the business, Ethel Fisher removed his name from the branding.

The company, which still operates out of Rockford, was eventually sold by Ethel Fisher to truck driver Sylvester Hahn in 1949. Employee Anthony Marsili, and his brother Mario, purchased the business in 1962. Later, and for 29 years, the company was owned by Chuck, Pete and Paul DiVenti. The company is currently owned by Roma and Mark Hailman, former employees who bought the company in 2007. Since its inception Mrs. Fisher's has remained a locally run company. Mrs. Fisher's chips are sold in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

## Products

Currently Mrs. Fisher's produces several types of potato chips: regular, rippled, BBQ, BBQ rippled, French Onion, and dark chips. The dark chips are made from a different potato. Mrs. Fisher's chips, which in total is sold at the rate of about 600,000 pounds per year. The company also produces caramel corn, nuts and other items under separate label.

## FDA regulation

In 2017, Mrs. Fisher's was forced to make big changes in its traditional recipe when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a ban on partially hydrogenated oils. Since the ruling, Mrs. Fisher’s has been adjusting their chip recipe and customers have noticed a difference. The company states that it has been the third time in the company’s history that an FDA regulation has caused the company to change their recipe.

***Melanoleuca melaleuca*** is a species of mushroom in the family Tricholomataceae, and it is the type species of its genus *Melanoleuca*. It is difficult to distinguish from other related species firstly because it is variable, secondly because the taxonomic criteria are often based on characteristics which have later been found to be variable, and thirdly because there is much disagreement between authorities as to exactly how the species should be defined.

## Description

* **Cap**: 2–8 cm, low convex, often with a low umbo, smooth, dark brown fading to greyish brown
* **Gills**: Whitish, crowded, emarginately attached to stipe
* **Stipe**: 2–8 cm long and up to 1 cm thick, similarly coloured to the cap but lighter, with brown fibrils
* **Spores**: 6.5–8.5 x 5–6 μm, elliptical with amyloid warts (staining blue in Melzer's reagent); spore print white
* **Odor and taste**: Mild
* **Microscopic features**: May have fusiform cheilocystidia or they may be missing (see below in taxonomy section).
* **Habitat**: Grassy places in woods, roadsides, heathland etc.

This description is taken from several references, which generally agree except on microscopic features.

Due partly to the confused taxonomic definitions, this mushroom is very difficult to identify with certainty. Various authorities imply that around *M. melaleuca* there is a complex of closely related species without clear dividing lines, and that the current analysis (which varies from one author to another) requires more clarification. Much of the taxonomic work on *Melanoleuca* has been done in Europe and the status of North American specimens is less certain. However a 2012 paper by Vizzini et al. proposes updated definitions based on DNA analysis and suggests that some progress on these issues is being made.

It is a widely distributed species, known from Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and Oceania.

Like all *Melanoleuca* it is saprophytic, feeding on organic litter and not being associated with particular types of tree.

A similar-looking species is *M. angelesiana*, but this does not have cystidia on its gills as does *M. melaleuca*.

Both the species name *melaleuca* and the genus name *Melanoleuca* come from the same Ancient Greek words for black (μέλας / melas) and white (λευκόν / leukon). The species name was originated by the Swedish mycologist Persoon in his 1801 publication *Synopsis Methodica Fungorum*, as *Agaricus melaleucus*. This formed the basis for the genus name *Melanoleuca* which was invented by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1897 as a variant of *Melaleuca*.

The underside of the cap is whitish, and the top of the cap and the stem are often quite a dark brown, but "black and white" is not a very accurate description in practice.

The species names of common animals are often identical to their genus names (as with *Rattus rattus* or *Bufo bufo*), but this form of designation (known as a tautonym) is forbidden for plants and fungi by the International Code of Nomenclature. *Melanoleuca melaleuca* narrowly circumvents this rule.

Patouillard had originally named the genus *Melaleuca* in 1887 and called the type species *Melaleuca vulgaris*, presumably to avoid a tautonym. In 1897 Patouillard changed the name of the genus to *Melanoleuca*. According to modern nomenclatural rules, the older genus name should normally take precedence, but an exception has been made by the International Botanical Congress and *Melanoleuca* has been declared a *nomen conservandum*, that is, a name which is to be considered valid irrespective of the rules of precedence.

The American mycologist William Murrill devised the name *Melanoleuca melaleuca* in a 1911 article in the journal *Mycologia*. If that is a valid name, again following modern rules, it should take precedence over *Melanoleuca vulgaris* as it refers to the original species name *melaleucus*. But in any case, Species Fungorum gives *M. vulgaris* as a synonym of *M. polioleuca*, rather than of *M. melaleuca*, and Bon implies that *M. vulgaris* is equivalent to only part of *M. melaleuca*.

In certain treatments of the genus, including Funga Nordica and Flora Agaricina Neerlandica, *M. melaleuca* is defined as having no cheilocystidia, but molecular analysis by Vizzini et al. makes it clear that these cystidia may sometimes appear and sometimes be missing in the same species of *Melanoleuca*, implying that this feature should not be used to characterize the mushroom. Other treatments specify *M. melaleuca* as having fusiform cheilocystidia, but recognize a separate closely related species, *Melanoleuca graminicola* as having no cheilocystidia. According to Index Fungorum the latter is a valid current name, but the former two references consider *M. graminicola* to be a synonym of *M. melaleuca*.

According to its definition (which is admitted to be in need of revision), Funga Nordica also lists *Melanoleuca brachyspora*, *Melanoleuca brevispora*, *Melanoleuca robertiana* and *Melanoleuca stridula* as synonyms of *M. melaleuca*.

The older treatments use various characteristics to delimit the species, for instance Moser distinguishes *M. melaleuca* as not having a pruinose cap, with a long stem in relation to the cap diameter, having a dark brownish cap colour, with stem not coarsely striate, and having white stem flesh.

Another species which has been confused with *M. melaleuca* is *Melanoleuca polioleuca*. In Species Fungorum (the part of Index Fungorum which evaluates current names), apart from the valid entry of *M. melaleuca*, there is an invalid one designated "*Melanoleuca melaleuca sensu* NCL" which is said to be equivalent to the current *M. polioleuca*. According to Courtecuisse, *M. polioleuca* is distinguished by having a dense white "pruina" (a powdery covering) on the stem and by the flesh inside the stem being dark cinnamon rather than pale.

## Edibility

This species is reported to be edible in both Europe and North America, although information for the latter continent was unknown as late as 2006. The confusion described in the previous section does not imply any particular culinary danger because (as far as is known) the closely related species are also edible.

# Marlborough School (Los Angeles)

**Marlborough School** is an independent college-preparatory secondary school for girls in grades 7 through 12 at 250 South Rossmore Avenue in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Marlborough was founded in 1889 by New England educator Mary Caswell and is the oldest independent girls' school in Southern California. In 2016, *Town & Country* magazine ranked Marlborough as the "best girls' school in America."

## History

Mary S. Caswell, a young teacher from Maine, founded Marlborough in 1889 as "St. Margaret's School for Girls".

One year later, in 1890, the school moved from Pasadena to the city of Los Angeles. On October 1, 1890, the school opened at the corner of 23rd and Scarff Streets in the West Adams district. Occupying the empty Marlborough Hotel, the school adopted the name of its new location and was renamed the "Marlborough School for Girls".

In 1916, Mrs. Caswell purchased land in the newly opened La Brea tract at a cost of $70,000. After 26 years in the West Adams district, the Marlborough School moved to Hancock Park and opened at its current site on the corner of Third Street and Rossmore Avenue.

Caswell led the school until 1924, when Ada Blake (recruited from Louisville Collegiate School) assumed its leadership. Blake expanded the curriculum substantially and the School gained a reputation for providing young women with an uncommonly rigorous education.

By the 1960s, the School was supported by a foundation and an active board of trustees, who hired William Pereira and Associates to design new buildings. The Los Angeles business community actively supported the school in the latter half of the 20th century, with local titans including Robert H. Ahmanson and Charlie Munger donating generously.

In 2014, a sexual misconduct investigation resulted in the imprisonment of a former teacher.

In 2015, Dr. Priscilla Sands was named head of school. Sands came to Marlborough after a career at the Agnes Irwin School and the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, both independent schools in the Philadelphia area. In 2022, Jennifer Ciccarelli became the head of school after serving in the same role at the Columbus School for Girls in Columbus, Ohio.

## Academics

The student-to-teacher ratio at Marlborough School is approximately 8:1, lower than the national high school average of 11:1 and the public school average of 16:1. This ratio enables Marlborough to offer over 156 courses. Over 80% of faculty members have more than ten years of teaching experience and almost 90% have advanced degrees. In recent years, the most popular postgraduate destinations for Marlborough women include a mix of elite private and "public ivy" institutions.

Marlborough ranked sixth in the nation among high schools with the highest standardized test scores according to *Business Insider* in 2014.

Recent guest speakers at Marlborough include Queen Rania of Jordan, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Pulitzer Prize-winning *New York Times* columnist Nicholas Kristof, historian Edward L. Ayers, Nobel Prize Laureate Leymah Gbowee, and producer/actor Mindy Kaling.

# Vanina Vanini

***Vanina Vanini*** is a short story published in 1829 by Stendhal (1783–1842), the pen name of Marie-Henri Beyle. Set in the 1820s during the early Risorgimento, when Italy was under Austrian control, it concerns the love affair of a young Roman princess and a revolutionary *carbonaro*.

## Synopsis

Vanina Vanini, the nineteen-year-old daughter of a Roman aristocrat, Don Asdrubale Vanini, is sought after by all the young princes of Rome, but refuses them all, for of "the same \[reason\] that led Sulla to abdicate: her *contempt for the Romans*." When she notices that her usually carefree father is taking pains to lock up one room in his palace, and that a window in that room that is normally closed is open, she begins to investigate.

Vanina finds another window that lets out on the same terrace, and looks through into the mysterious room. There, she sees a wounded woman lying in bed, as well as bloodstained woman's clothing that seems to have been pierced many times with a knife. She observes her father come up to the room and speak to the woman, though she cannot hear what the two are saying. Vanina is fascinated by the mysterious woman, and when, one evening, the woman sees Vanina spying, Vanina falls to her knees and tells the woman that she loves her and is devoted to her.

The woman, who gives her name as Clementina, asks Vanina to visit her every day, but to keep the visits a secret from her father. Vanina wonders why the woman is hurt and must stay hidden; perhaps she has rejected a powerful man, or killed her lover. Clementina does not want the assistance of a surgeon, because surgeons are required to report wounds that they treat to the police, but Vanina offers to bring her a surgeon loyal to the family.

The woman then reveals that she is in fact a man, Pietro Missirilli, a *carbonaro* and the nineteen-year-old son of a surgeon from Sant'Angelo in Vado. Missirilli's group had been ambushed and he taken in chains to Rome, but after thirteen months, he was helped to escape in disguise as a woman. However, as he left the prison, in a moment of folly he struck and killed a guard who cursed the carbonari, and was pursued through Rome and wounded. Finding himself in the garden of Countess Vitelleschi, Don Asdrubale's mistress, he was spirited away in the latter's carriage. Don Asdrubale has thus saved his life, but he is dying of his wound.

That night, a surgeon arrives alone: Vanina's pride has been wounded by Missirilli's confession, and she does not want to see him. She is conflicted, struggling between love and pride, but eventually returns and confesses her love; soon after there is "nothing left that she could withhold from him."

Four months later, Missirilli is recovered, and Vanina thinks that he will be happy to remain with her, but he wants to take revenge and liberate Italy. Several times he plans to leave, but she persuades him to stay; she offers to marry him, but he refuses her in the interest of Italian liberation, and his nobility makes her love him more.

Missirilli goes to Forlì in Romagna, where he is made the leader of a band of *carbonari*. Vanina joins him there, giving a great deal of money and arms to his band; he is entirely occupied by his plans and his patriotism. She utterly fails to get him to show her love, but is too proud to leave him, so, via a former serving-maid, she denounces every member of Missirilli's band of *carbonari*, save Missirilli himself, to the authorities, hoping that this will end his plans and reunite him with her.

Instead, Missirilli turns himself in — he does not want his compatriots to think, because he was the only one not captured, that he was the traitor. He asks Vanina to avenge him against whoever betrayed them, "even if it should be my own father."

Vanina tries to win Missirilli's freedom: she gets her suitor Livio Savelli, nephew to the governor of Rome, to bring her information and to gain places in the governor's household and at Castel Sant'Angelo for two of her own servants, saying that these are tests of Savelli's worthiness. The other carbonari's sentences are commuted by the Pope to a few years in prison, but Missirilli is condemned to death.

Vanina enters the house of Monsignor Catanzara, the governor of Rome, disguised as a man, and threatens him with a pistol, having unloaded his own pistol before he came home. She maneuvers the situation into a joke, a visit paid by a lady to her future uncle. She succeeds in getting him to try to commute the sentence; besides her persuasion, he is also motivated by the thought that he is still young and may see a day when the execution will be a stain on his character. Msgr. Catanzara obtains the pardon from the Pope.

When Missirilli and the other *carbonari* are transferred to a new prison, Vanina arranges to meet him in a chapel at midnight, where he will be chained and in sight of a jailer, but where their conversation will not be overheard. Vanina hopes that he still loves her enough to pardon her treachery.

Missirilli expresses regret for their affair, thinking that his misfortunes are punishment for having a passion other than Italian liberation. He wishes to remain friends, advises Vanina to marry Savelli, and promises that the money she contributed to the cause will be repaid when Italy is free. Vanina gives him the jewels she is wearing and files, so that he can use them to break his chains, but he asks her to forget him, for he is committed to dying for his country.

Vanina angrily tells him everything she has done to save his life; then she says that she has done much more out of love for him, and reveals her betrayal. Missirilli, outraged, tries to kill her with his chains, but the jailer rushes in and restrains him. He throws back at her the jewels she has just given him. Shortly after, she returns to Rome and marries Livio Savelli.

## Adaptations

In 1922, Arthur von Gerlach, Adapted this story to a film, *Vanina,* starring Asta Nielsen, Paul Wegener, Paul Hartmann.

Roberto Rossellini (1906–1977) adapted this story to a film of the same title in 1961 starring Sandra Milo (Vanina) and Laurent Terzieff (Pietro). In 1963, East German television broadcast a film based on the novel, starring Annekathrin Bürger in the title role, Peter Sturm as Asdrubale and Alfred Struwe as Savelli.

# MicA RNA

The **MicA RNA** (also known as **SraD**) is a small non-coding RNA that was discovered in *E. coli* during a large scale screen. Expression of SraD is highly abundant in stationary phase, but low levels could be detected in exponentially growing cells as well.

## Function

This RNA binds the Hfq protein and regulates levels of gene expression by an antisense mechanism. It is known to target the OmpA gene in *E. coli* and occludes the ribosome binding site. Under conditions of envelope stress, micA transcription is induced. MicA, RybB RNA and MicL RNA transcription is under the control of the sigma factor sigma(E). In *E.coli*, SraD also interacts in *cis* and *trans* with the mRNA species, *luxS*, *ompA a*nd *phoP*, respectively. This observation describes MicA to be the first known sRNA to carry out antisense regulation in both structural configurations. MicA is known to interact with the mRNA encoding the quorum sensing synthase homolog, LuxS in E.coli and both RNAs are processed by the double stranded RNA endonuclease, RNase III. Based on its conservation, this is presumably the case in close relatives and may serve as a long elusive link between envelope stress and quorum sensing.

The PhoPQ two-component system is repressed by MicA. The RNA presumably pairs with the ribosomal binding site of phoP mRNA, thereby inhibiting translation. This links micA to cellular processes such as Mg(2+) transport, virulence, LPS modifications and resistance to antimicrobial peptides.

In *S. typhimurium* MicA has been shown to be involved in biofilm formation. It is observed that the *luxS* mutant biofilm formation process is found to be dependent on MicA in cases where the gene's coding region is deleted, however, it is still not known to what extent MicA is involved in this mechanism.

Site directed mutagenesis has been used to construct mutated forms of MicA forms in order to investigate the RNA determinants important to its stability and function. Each 'domain' investigated ( 5′linear domain, the structured region with two stem-loops, the A/U-rich sequence and the 3′ poly(U) tail) was altered without affecting the overall secondary structure of MicA however, each 'domain' was found to have a different impact on stability and the ability of MicA to regulate its multiple targets.

# Galluzzo

**Galluzzo** is part of quartiere 3 of the Italian city of Florence, Italy, located in the southern extremity of the Florentine commune. It is known for the celebrated Carthusian monastery, the Galluzzo or Florence Charterhouse (*Certosa di Firenze* or *Certosa del Galluzzo*), which was founded in 1342 by Niccolò Acciaioli.

## History

### The autonomous commune

Galluzzo was an autonomous commune until 1928, at which point its territory was split: part was assigned to the commune of Florence in accordance with the 2562nd Royal Decree (01/11/1928), which foresaw the expansion of the Florentine administrative territory (together with the fractions of San Felice ad Ema and Cascine del Riccio); the rest was assigned to the newly formed commune of Scandicci (known as Casellina e Torri until that same date) as the fraction of Giogoli; or to Bagno a Ripoli (Grassina). The remainder formed the present commune of Impruneta.

At the time in which the commune was disestablished, it had circa 22,000 inhabitants and was undoubtedly the most populated commune of the Florentine province, after Prato and Empoli; its communal territory bordered on those of Florence, Casellina e Torri, San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Greve in Chianti and Bagno a Ripoli. The commune, which at the time of national unification extended roughly 68 km2, had already undergone a previous reduction in 1865, which with the 2412th Royal Decree (26 July 1865) had lost a strip of land between the city walls and Due Strade to the commune of Florence.

### The name

Some trace the origin of the curious name (a variation of the word "gallo", cockerel) of the suburb to the Galluzzo or Galluzzi noble family, who were the regional "biadaioli", and whose crest was a golden cockerel in a blue field. Others maintain that the name Galluzzo derives from the old tavern located on the road leading to Rome from Florence (Via Cassia), whose sign was a cockerel. However, this sign was simply a reproduction of the carving of a cockerel on a milestone on the side of that same road. This latter hypothesis is more likely, given that even the historian Andrea Dei in his "Cronaca Senese" of 1253 states that "a company of armed Sienese and Pisans performed a quick raid into Florentine territory as far as the Galluzzo stone, and as a token of disrespect cut off the cockerel's head".

The late-13th-century suburb of Galluzzo Vecchio ("Old Galluzzo"), which originally must have consisted of a handful of houses and villas scattered between the charterhouse bridge and the church of Saint Lucia of Massapagani, expanded as a group of residential buildings starting from the corner of via Massapagani and via Barni, around a 14th-century church.

## Economy

Historically a zone inhabited by artisans and agricultural workers, Galluzzo had relatively few inhabitants until the mid-19th century. As far as the predominant activities are concerned, given its closeness to Impruneta, until the 16th century there was a consistent presence of terracotta producers, until more recent times when, in addition to kiln men, cement plants were built. At the beginning of the 20th century there was also a series of other industries which later disappeared, such as a large windmill next to a pasta factory, and a factory where olive oil was extracted by means of carbon sulphate, with which were also produced soaps of various types. The particular lithological composition of the surrounding hills also allowed for the construction of various caves for the extraction and processing of stone, the most important of which were those of Monteripaldi, Poggio ai Grilli and Montebuoni of Montecuccoli.

The women of the region had for a long time offered laundry services, given the abundance of running water, in addition to which they also produced straw plaits and braids.

Today, the heart of the residential nucleus is Acciaioli Square, in which is erected the monument to victims of World War I.

## Culture

Galluzzo is cited by Dante Alighieri in the XVI canto (verses 52–55) of The Divine Comedy.

> Oh quando fora meglio esser vicine
> quelle genti ch’io dico, ed al Galluzzo
> ed a Trespiano aver vostro confine
>

# Vassfaret

**Vassfaret** is a forested mountain valley in southern Norway. The valley is located on the border of the municipalities of Flå, Nesbyen, and Ringerike in Buskerud county and Sør-Aurdal Municipality in Innlandet county. The valley lies between the Hallingdal and Hedalen valleys in the traditional district of Valdres. The steep forest and mountain slopes on both sides of the valley have peaks reaching up to 1,284 metres (4,213 ft) above sea level at Sørbølfjellet in Flå municipality in the furthest southwest part of Vassfaret. The area was one heavily inhabited by bears.

## Protected area

The valley includes several nature conservation areas:

* Vassfaret and Vidalen conservation area (*Vassfaret/Vidalen landskapsvernområde*) covering 200 square kilometres (77 sq mi)
* Inner Vassfaret conservation area (*Indre Vassfaret landskapsvernområde*), covering 42 square kilometres (16 sq mi)
* There are also 9 small nature reserves, a total of 18 square kilometres (6.9 sq mi) with very strict protection rules.

## History

Vassfaret is characterized by low alpine coniferous forests, heather, and bogs. Down in the lower valley, there are a number of lakes surrounded by forest. In the higher elevations on either side of the valley, the mountains are rocky and weather beaten. The whole valley is not more than about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long. People have worked with logging and timber floating for more than 300 years in this valley. There has been human activity in Vassfaret as early as the times before the Black Death in 1349. In later ages, there were permanent settlements until 1921, when the last inhabitants left. In all, there are remnants of 12 farms in the valley as well as remnants of some mountain farms in the higher elevations. Numerous artifacts from the logging days are left in the valley including dams, walls constructed by stones out in the rivers, and runs to get the logs past troublesome spots.

From 1940-1945 during World War II, especially in the later years of the war, there was intense military activity in Vassfaret. This was the operational base a Resistance group code-named "ELG", and because of this there were many parachute drops there. There are still missing airdrops in the area.

By royal decree on 28 June 1985, the Vassfaret and Vidalen valleys were made into a protected area. The intention was to preserve the characteristic flora and fauna of eastern Norway, especially as an area for bears, and for the cultural remains from logging and floating. A special area covering cultural protection covers about 8 square kilometres (3.1 sq mi) within the Inner Vassfaret landscape protection area. Within this area there is logging by the old methods, and the logs are transported by horse. Every spring the logs are floated downstream into the Nevlingen river.

### Vassfarplassen

At the northern end of the Nevlingen river, there are the remains of a farm called *Vassfarplassen*, where the farmer owned a gun that was nicknamed *Vassfarloven*, which means "The Law of Vassfaret". In the olden days, it is said that the people of Vassfaret were not very welcoming. A special internal relationship existed in the valley, but anyone coming from the neighbouring valleys would not expect a friendly welcome. This was especially true when it came to fishing within the valley. The saying was that in the middle of river there was a shallow area; you could row to that point, but if you got any closer, then you were within range of "The Law of Vassfaret" and the owner of that rifle was an excellent marksman, so fishermen had to be wary that they did not got too close.
