# Pruritus vulvae

**Pruritus vulvae** is itchiness of the vulva, which is the counterpart of pruritus scroti, and may have many different causes. Patch testing may be used to diagnose the cause.

## Causes

This condition is a symptom of an underlying condition more often than it is a primary condition. Vulva irritation can be caused by any moisture left on the skin. This moisture may be perspiration, urine, vaginal discharge or small amounts of stool. It may be caused by vaginal infections, vulvitis, HPV (human papilloma virus) infection, anal incontinence, Bowen's disease, or dietary irritants (caffeine, potatoes, chilli, capsicum, tomatoes, and peanuts).

Treatment with antibiotics can lead to a yeast infection and irritation of the vulva. Some diseases increase the possibility of yeast infections, such as diabetes mellitus.

Chronic inflammation of the vulva predisposes to the development of premalignant or malignant changes.

# Nebula Man

**Nebula Man** is a fictional character in DC Comics. He first appeared in *Justice League of America* #100–101 (1972).

Originally a villain responsible for the disappearance of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, he has since reappeared as **Neh-Buh-Loh**, the primary antagonist in the 20052006 mega-series *Seven Soldiers* by Grant Morrison. Before this reappearance, Morrison built up the character's backstory, starting in 1997 with more extensive appearances in *JLA: Classified* (2005).

## Fictional character biography

The Neh-Buh-Loh is in fact the adult version of a sentient universe called **Qwewq**. He first appeared as the Nebula Man in *Justice League of America* #100, described as a cosmic being "whose touch has the power of 20 atomic bombs". He was supposedly created by a villain known as The Hand to defeat the original Seven Soldiers of Victory (a later retcon would give him his current origin, with The Hand's involvement being more incidental). He battled the Soldiers in Tibet. His actions scattered the Soldiers through time, a fate from which they were later saved by the Justice League and Justice Society. The Nebula Man was defeated when the sidekick of the Crimson Avenger, Wing, sacrificed himself to deliver the final blow with a cosmic device; Wing was buried in Tibet by monks who witnessed his death.

During the JLA storyline "Rock of Ages", the Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern are sent by Metron through time and space and they land on Wonderworld. During a brief tour of Wonderworld's Omnitropolis and its museum district by that world's Atom analogue Mote, a few peculiar items are mentioned. Amongst them are an evil 5 dimensional imp trapped in a 6 dimensional bottle, a speedster Glimmer's treadmill, and a larval universe they call Qwewq. They say that they are feeding it and hope to allow it to grow to its full potential.

The Nebula Man appeared once more in *Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.*, before reappearing in *JLA: Classified* #1–3, working with Gorilla Grodd and announcing the end of the world. At the same time, the Justice League were in the Infant Universe of Qwewq, unaware that this was Neh-Buh-Loh's larval form.

In the *Seven Soldiers* series, Neh-Buh-Loh was revealed to be allied with (or perhaps created by) the Sheeda, time traveling predators from the end of time. He served as the personal huntsman of the Sheeda Queen Gloriana Tenebrae. In the past, Neh-Buh-Loh had been sent to slay the queen's innocent stepdaughter Rhiannon (a.k.a. Misty Kilgore). However, moved by her beauty and symmetry, he could not bear to do it and allowed the girl to escape. This was Neh-Buh-Loh's secret shame for many years.

It was further explained that in the 1940s, Neh-Buh-Loh had been summoned (rather than created) by The Hand using a sonic horn. The creature was seeking "seven soldiers" who were prophesied to one day defeat his mistress, Gloriana. The Hand was all too eager to point him in the right direction, thus leading to the original Seven Soldiers becoming lost in time.

This same sonic horn was used by The Hand's nephew Boy Blue to once again summon Neh-Buh-Loh and the Sheeda in the present, leading to the destruction of an *ad hoc* Seven Soldiers team created by the original Vigilante. This set the stage for the Harrowing of Earth which the heroes of the *Seven Soldiers* series attempted to prevent.

Neh-Buh-Loh was finally defeated by Frankenstein, who capitalized on a flaw placed in him as an infant by the Ultramarine Corps, a team of heroes who had entered Qwewq seeking redemption.

## Allusions

The use of Neh-Buh-Loh in *Seven Soldiers* is influenced by several characters in myth and legend. His failed mission to kill his queen's lovely stepdaughter is a direct parallel with the fairy tale of Snow White.

In addition, his role as the horned Huntsman of the Sheeda has elements of characters from Celtic mythology such as the horned god Cernunnos and later legends such as the King of the Wild Hunt and Herne the Hunter.

## Other versions

In *All-Star Superman* #10, Superman uses the infant universe of Qwewq to create an Earth without a Superman that he dubs Earth Q.

# Patrick James (singer)

**Patrick James Donoghue** is an Irish musician and recording artist with Universal Music. Originally from Dublin, Donoghue was a checkout worker at Dunnes Stores who rose to fame with winning series 4 of the talent show *The Voice of Ireland*, becoming the fourth consecutive male to win the title, as well as the first ever champion under new coach Una Foden of The Saturdays. Months after his success, he revealed to the public that he had changed his stage name to **Patrick James**, as he felt it suited him more as an artist.

## In *The Voice of Ireland*

Patrick Donoghue auditioned for series 4 of *The Voice of Ireland* singing "Red" from Daniel Merriweather turning all four chairs. He also was the first auditionee selected. He chose to be part of Team Una Foden. In the Battles round, he was paired with fellow contestant Kieran McKillop co-singing "You Give Me Something" and moved to Knockouts round singing "Mamma Knows Best" and was safe. In the quarter finals, he performed "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" and in the semi-final "Ain't Nobody" in both instances being saved by the public.

In the Finals, he performed "Man in The Mirror" and a repetition of "Mamma Knows Best" and was crowned *The Voice of Ireland 2015* on 26 April. The cover was then released on iTunes.

## Career

After win, he announced he was going to use the name Patrick James. His debut single "Redemption Days", a cover of Josh Osho, premiered on *The Anton Savage Show* on Today FM on 17 June 2015. This was seen as an important change for *The Voice of Ireland*, as past winners were criticised for waiting too long for their release, alongside an album. The single was then released for digital download on 17 July. The song was promoted with a performance on *Saturday Night with Miriam* on 11 July 2015. Patrick says that he would like to release an album, but that the album's release depends on the success of "Redemption Days". He has stated that if he releases an album, he would definitely include a collaboration with *The Voice* coach Una Healy on it. With the song being a commercial failure, the album has not been released as of December 2015.

In March 2016, Patrick teased a snippet of an upcoming single titled "Judge My Love" via Snapchat. The song was released for digital download on 8 April 2016. It was written and co-produced by *The Voice* coach Bressie and promoted with a performance on *The Voice of Ireland*.

In July 2016, Irish group *KBM* confirmed that James would feature on an upcoming song of theirs. The song, titled "Come to Me" was released on 15 August.

In 2018, he auditioned for The X Factor but got eliminated in the first round.

# Northeim (district)

**Northeim** is a district in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the northwest and clockwise) the districts of Holzminden, Hildesheim, Goslar and Göttingen, and the state of Hesse (district of Kassel).

## History

In medieval times the area had been part of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Later the majority of it belonged to Hanover and then Prussia. In 1885 the Prussian government created districts in the newly acquired provinces. In 1884 the districts of Einbeck, Northeim, and Uslar were established. Northeim and Uslar were merged in 1932, and they were again merged with Einbeck in 1974. The district's area was further enlarged in 1977, when some municipalities of neighbouring districts (Gandersheim and Osterode am Harz) joined the Northeim district.

## Geography

The district is located in the Weserbergland mountains. The Weser forms the western border of the district. Another river, the Leine, runs through the district from south to north. It is joined by the River Rhume which flows through the town of Northeim and the River Ilme which flows through the town of Einbeck.

## Coat of arms

|  | The coat of arms displays two identical lions in blue and yellow, both representing the former two districts of Northeim and Uslar. The lion itself represents the duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. |

# West Coast Division (The Gambia)

**West Coast Region**, originally the **Western Division**, also known as Foni or Fonyi, was one of the five administrative divisions of the Gambia. Its capital was Brikama. It was subsequently reorganised as the Brikama Local Government Area (LGA), without any change in the area covered.

Per 2013 census, the region had a population of 699,704 with a population density of 397. The total number of households was 45,396 as of 2003. As of 2003, the total area of the region is 1764.3 km2. The infant mortality rate was 71 for every thousand births and the under-five mortality was 93 per every thousand births. The poverty gap ratio was 22.4 per cent and literacy rate was 69.7 per cent as of 2003.

## Geography

The Gambia is the smallest country in Africa and the width of the strip-like structure never exceeds 48 km (30 mi). It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and otherwise surrounded by Senegal. The Gambia River flows throughout the country and is the principal source of water and a transport route. The banks of the river have swampy beaches, while it has alluvial soil in all other parts, which is conducive for the growth of rice. Peanuts are the major cash crop. The weather is usually warm and dry. The elevation of the country reaches to a maximum of 50 m (160 ft) above the mean sea level. There are vast segments of sedimentary sandstone and claystone in the valleys of the rivers and the regions surrounding it. The river flows from Guinea and has an east–west axis. The shallow water in the coastline are important sources of fishing. They are mangrove and banto forests along the coastline. Over the river segment of 487 km (303 mi), there are numerous creeks, which are locally called *boloons*. The months from June to September experience a wet season, while the remaining seven months are dry. The average annual rainfall is around 1,400 mm (55 in) in the south east, while it is 720 mm (28 in) in the northwest. Experts have assessed that the overall rainfall during the century period between 1886 and 1992, there has been a reduction in rainfall of around 15-20 per cent and the wet season has been shortened.

## Demographics

Per 2013 census, the region had a population of 699,704 with a population density of 397. The total number of households was 45,396 as of 2003. As of 2003, the total area of the region is 1764.3 km2. The infant mortality rate was 71 for every thousand births and the under-five mortality was 93 per every thousand births. The poverty gap ratio was 22.4 per cent as of 2003. The literacy rate of the province was 69.7 compared to a national average of 62.9 per cent. The net enrollment ratio in primary education was 70 per cent, children entering first grade of primary school reaching last grade of primary education was 99.5 per cent and the ratios of boys against girls in primary, secondary and tertiary education was 1.03 as of 2007.

## Local administration

The Gambia along with modern-day Senegal were colonies of French and British until 1894 when it became a British colony. Both the countries got independence in 1965 and operated in a federation called Senegambia from 1982.Senegal gained independence in 1960 not 1965. During 1989, the confederation collapsed. In a bloodless coup, Lieutenant Yahya Jamme in 1994 and went on to win multi party elections in three subsequent elections. He has also defeated coups successfully and unlike the West African countries, the Gambia has a relative stable governance. The Local Govemment Act passed in 2002 superseded the previous local government acts like Local Government Act (Amended 1984), Local Government (City of Banjul) Act (Amended 1988), The Kanifing Municipal Council Act 1991 and the Provinces Act. There were seven local governments defined each subdivided into districts and wards. The Mayor who is the chairperson of the council and the council members of each council is elected by people of the area. The legislations indicating the roles were not clearly defined, but the council is responsible for finance, services and planning for each sector under it. Around 25 per cent of the budget is provisioned by the central government. The council also has a *Alkalo* or *Seyfo* representative, the representative of the Chief, a youth nominee, a woman nominee and other nominated members of local interest groups.

West Coast Region, now the Brikama LGA, is divided into nine districts, namely, Foni Bintang-Karenai, Foni Bondali, Foni Brefet, Foni Jarrol, Foni Kansala, Kombo Central, Kombo East, Kombo North/Saint Mary and Kombo South. The city and area council elections were held during April 2002, when Ahmed Gibril Jassy, an APRC candidate became the Mayor, winning unopposed. The council was led by Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC), which won 22 out of the 24 seats, with the other two seats won by independents.

# Giovanni Battista Caccini

**Giovanni Battista Caccini** or **Giovan Battista Caccini** (24 October 1556 – 13 March 1613) was an Italian sculptor from Florence, who worked in a classicising style in the later phase of Mannerism.

## Life

Giovanni Battista Caccini was born at Montopoli in Val d'Arno between Florence and Pisa; his training was with the sculptor-architect Giovanni Antonio Dosio, known for his accurate drawings of Roman antiquities, and Caccini's numerous interpretive restorations of Roman sculptural fragments gave him the reputation of being a knowledgeable antiquarian, while the inescapable influence of Giambologna and his circle can be seen in Caccini's bronze statuettes. Caccini was in close cooperation with Pietro Tacca and the rest of Giambologna's pupils in the prolonged cooperation over the bronze doors for Pisa Cathedral.

Fragmentary antiquities were not to the sixteenth-century collectors' taste. Caccini produced a head for an antique torso, and a further, crouching figure to produce the *Bacchus and Ampelos* in the Uffizi, which was once attributed to Michelangelo. He restored a fragmentary *Apollo Sauroctonos* as an *Apollo with the Lyre* (Uffizi). He could also improvise on antique themes: the biographer of artists Rafaello Borghini reported in 1730 that "In truth he was highly skilled in diligently putting together pieces, and counterfeiting, the Antique."

His garden sculptures produced the bold silhouettes and copious attributes that the genre requires. As an architect, his one notable work is the portico of the Santissima Annunziata, Florence (1601). Caccini died in Rome in 1613.

His brother, Giulio Caccini, was a famous composer, teacher, singer, instrumentalist and writer of the very late Renaissance and early Baroque eras.

title: Pruemopterus

abstract: Pruemopterus is a genus of eurypterid, an extinct group of aquatic arthropods. The type and only species of Pruemopterus, P. salgadoi, is known only from a single fossil specimen discovered in geological deposits of Early Devonian age in Germany. The name of the genus is derived from the Prüm river and the surrounding Prüm valley, which contains the finding place of the fossil, and the Ancient Greek πτερόν, referring to the eurypterid swimming paddles, and the species name honors the Brazilian photographer and photojournalist Sebastião Salgado. Pruemopterus was a very small adelophthalmid eurypterid, with the only known specimen measuring about 2.5 centimeters (0.98 in) in length. Although superficially similar to the related genus Parahughmilleria, Pruemopterus can be distinguished from other adelophthalmids by several features, most notably its wide and vaguely rectangular carapace and its rounded, rather than elongated, eyes. Pruemopterus lived alongside other Early Devonian animals, including several other eurypterid genera, in a shallow brackish to fresh water environment.

# Pruemopterus

***Pruemopterus*** is a genus of eurypterid, an extinct group of aquatic arthropods. The type and only species of *Pruemopterus*, *P. salgadoi*, is known only from a single fossil specimen discovered in geological deposits of Early Devonian age in Germany. The name of the genus is derived from the Prüm river and the surrounding Prüm valley, which contains the finding place of the fossil, and the Ancient Greek πτερόν (*pteron*, "wing"), referring to the eurypterid swimming paddles, and the species name honors the Brazilian photographer and photojournalist Sebastião Salgado.

*Pruemopterus* was a very small adelophthalmid eurypterid, with the only known specimen measuring about 2.5 centimeters (0.98 in) in length. Although superficially similar to the related genus *Parahughmilleria*, *Pruemopterus* can be distinguished from other adelophthalmids by several features, most notably its wide and vaguely rectangular carapace (head plate) and its rounded, rather than elongated, eyes. *Pruemopterus* lived alongside other Early Devonian animals, including several other eurypterid genera, in a shallow brackish to fresh water environment.

## Description

*Pruemopterus* was a very small adelophthalmid eurypterid, only measuring about 2.5 centimeters (0.98 in) in length. The carapace (head plate) of *Pruemopterus* was vaguely rectangular in shape, and was about 3.8 millimeters (0.15 in) long and 7.5 millimeters (0.3 in) wide. The compound eyes of *Pruemopterus* were round and placed in an anterior centrimesial (forward-central) position. Along the seventh to twelfth segments of the opisthosoma (posterior body), *Pruemopterus* had strong lateral epimera ("extensions" along the edges). The posterior body of *Pruemopterus* was relatively wide, with the pretelson (the last body segment, before the tail) being about half as long as it was wide. The telson ("tail") itself was lanceolate (lance-shaped) and robust. As in other adelophthalmids, the walking legs of *Pruemopterus* were spiniferous (having spines). Though they are only preserved fragmentarily, the amount of spinosity (how spiniferous the legs were) appears to have been similar to the related *Adelophthalmus*. The genital appendage (a ventral "rod" part of the reproductive system) is present in the only known specimen but it is poorly preserved, with its distal end missing. It spanned from the first to the third sternite (ventral half of the body segment) and was of type A, that is, the specimen was female.

## History of research

The only known specimen of *Pruemopterus* was discovered by the German paleontologist Markus J. Poschmann in the 1980s. It was discovered in a now disused sandstone quarry within the municipality of Hermespand, close to the village itself and to that of Willwerath, in Weinsheim, Germany. The fossil deposits the specimen was uncovered in belong to the Klerf Formation and are of Early Devonian age, specifically the uppermost Lower Emsian epoch.

The fossil was not formally described by Poschmann until 2020, when he determined that the combination of traits displayed suggested that it was an adelophthalmid eurypterid similar to *Parahughmilleria*, known from the same deposits, but differing in features of its carapace, opisthosoma and telson. Poschmann thus named the new genus and species *Pruemopterus salgadoi* to accommodate the specimen. The specimen is today housed at the Generaldirektion Kulturelles Erbe, Direktion Landesarchäologie/Erdgeschichte in Koblenz, Germany, and is part of the State Collection of Natural History of Rhineland-Palatinate. Originally given the provisional designation 355-D by Poschmann, the specimen now has the repository number PWL 2014/5186-LS a,b (a being the part and b being the counterpart of the compression fossil).

The generic name *Pruemopterus* is derived from the Prüm river and the surrounding Prüm valley, wherein Hermespand and Willwerath are located, and the suffix '-*opterus*', derived from the Ancient Greek πτερόν (*pteron*, "wing"), often used in naming eurypterids due to the broad, wing-like swimming appendages of the eurypterine suborder. The species name *salgadoi* honors the Brazilian photographer and photojournalist Sebastião Salgado.

## Classification

Poschmann referred *Pruemopterus* to the eurypterid family Adelophthalmidae, the only family within the superfamily Adelophthalmoidea. In particular, Poschmann noted that morphological comparisons with other adelophthalmid genera suggest that *Pruemopterus* was most closely related to *Parahughmilleria*. Still, *Pruemopterus* differs from other adelophthalmid eurypterids mainly in features of its carapace and its eyes. The short and rectangular carapace of *Pruemopterus*, and its eyes being rounded rather than elongated, easily distinguishes the genus from the adelophthalmid genera *Eysyslopterus*, *Pittsfordipterus*, *Bassipterus*, *Nanahughmilleria* and *Adelophthalmus*. The same also applies to *Parahughmilleria*, which lived during the same epoch as *Pruemopterus*, although the species *Parahughmilleria hefteri* (possibly a younger growth stage of the species *Parahughmilleria major*) is superficially similar to *Pruemopterus* in its streamlined body shape and the lateral epimera along the same segments of the opisthosoma. *Pruemopterus* can be distinguished from *Parahughmilleria hefteri* by several features, including its more centrally positioned and rounder eyes, its wider carapace, the epimera being much more prominent, and the telson being broader and more robust. Another difference between *Pruemopterus* and *Parahughmilleria* is that the opisthosomal segments of *Pruemopterus* are more or less constant in length, whereas they increase in length posteriorly in *Parahughmilleria*. The genus *Unionopterus*, probably an adelophthalmid, is fragmentarily known, which complicates comparisons, but is clearly different from *Pruemopterus* in its smaller eyes and the wider marginal rim of its carapace.

Poschmann also noted in his description of the type specimen that there were also close similarities to the Hughmilleriidae in the Pterygotioidea superfamily, though *Pruemopterus* differed from the genera in that family in having prominent lateral epimera on its opisthosomal segments (a feature for the most part missing among the hughmilleriids) and its eyes not being placed on the margin of the carapace.

## Paleoecology

The deposits in which the *Pruemopterus* fossil was discovered are part of an Early Devonian fossil locality called the "Fossil-Lagerstätte Willwerath" that has yielded numerous early land plants, arthropods and vertebrates. Among the chelicerates, to which the eurypterids belong, the Early Devonian deposits have yielded both arachnids (*Devonotarbus hombachensis* and *Xenarachne willwerathensis*) and early xiphosurans (genus *Willwerathia*). Eurypterids are especially diverse in these deposits, accounting for five genera in addition to *Pruemopterus*: *Jaekelopterus*, *Rhenopterus*, *Erieopterus*, *Adelophthalmus* and *Parahughmilleria*. *Pruemopterus* appears to have lived in non-marine aquatic environments. The Early Devonian eurypterid-yielding fossil sites in the Rhineland have been interpreted as having been part of a shallow aquatic environment with brackish to fresh water, such as an estuary or a bay. The lithology of the deposits in which *Pruemopterus* was discovered is composed of lithified gray siltstone.

# Neena Gill

**Neena Gill**, CBE is a British Labour Party politician. She served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the West Midlands first from 1999 to 2009, and then from 2014 to 2020.

## Early life and career

Gill was born in Ludhiana, Punjab, India. She emigrated to the UK with her family when she was ten years old. Her father was a businessman. Gill's first job was working in a library at the age of 16. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in social studies from Liverpool John Moores University in 1979. She was vice president of the students union. Gill later gained a postgraduate professional qualification from the Chartered Institute of Housing in 1984 and in 1996, she completed the senior executive programme at the London Business School.

After graduation, Gill became a trainee accountant but only worked for six weeks before leaving to become a housing officer at Ealing London Borough Council. Aged 29, Gill became the chief executive of ASRA Group, making her the first female, first non-white and youngest chief executive of a UK housing association. She then worked as the chief executive of Newlon Housing Group.

## Political career

Prior to Labour's electoral success in 1997, Gill worked with members of Labour's shadow cabinet to help develop the party's social policy. In 1999, she was elected as the first female Asian MEP in the European Parliament. Representing the West Midlands between 1999 and 2009, Gill held various positions, including President of the Delegation for Relations with India and President of the Delegation for Relations with South Asia and SAARC countries. She was also a member of The Legal Affairs Committee and of the Budgets Committee.

Gill was unsuccessful in her bid to be re-elected for a third term as MEP in 2009. During her time outside of parliament, she worked as the vice president for corporate affairs (Europe and Asia Pacific) for software company SAS.

In 2014, she was re-elected as one of two Labour MEPs (the other being Siôn Simon) for the West Midlands. During this term, she was a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, special committee on tax rulings, financial crimes, tax evasion and avoidance, and part of the delegation for relations with India and the United States. She was particularly active on financial regulation and was the rapporteur for the 2015 European Money Market Funds (MMF) Regulation.

In 2017, Gill was one of two UK winners (the other being Conservative MP Priti Patel) of the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman, the highest honour given to NRIs by the Indian government. In the same year, she was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours. In July 2018, Gill became an honorary fellow of Liverpool John Moores University.

She was re-elected in the 2019 European parliamentary election as the sole Labour MEP for the West Midlands. Gill remained a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. In September 2019, Gill joined the delegation for relations with Japan as Chair and the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly as Vice-Chair and S&D Co-ordinator.

In 2024, she was selected as the Labour Party candidate in the Bromsgrove constituency at the 2024 general election. She came second in the contest, receiving 26.8% of the vote share.

## Personal life

She married Dr. John Towner, an environmental consultant, in 1982 and they have one son. They divorced in 2009.

# Patrick James Donahue

**Patrick James Donahue** (April 15, 1849  October 4, 1922) was an English-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling in West Virginia from 1894 until his death in 1922.

## Biography

### Early life

Patrick Donahue was born on April 15, 1849, in Little Malvern, Worcestershire, in the United Kingdom. He became a student at St. Michael's Priory in Hereford, England, at age 14 and entered St. Gregory's College near Bath, England two years later. After graduating in 1869, he taught English and mathematics.

In 1873, Donahue immigrated to the United States and settled in Washington, D.C. He enrolled at George Washington University Law School and was admitted to the bar in 1876. He then practiced for the next seven years. In 1883, after deciding to prepare for the priesthood, Donahue entered St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Maryland.

### Priesthood

Donahue was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Baltimore by Archbishop James Gibbons on December 19, 1885. After his ordination, Donahue served as an assistant priest at St. John's Parish in Baltimore. He served as chancellor of the archdiocese from 1886 to 1891, and rector of Assumption of the Blessed Mary Cathedral in Baltimore from 1891 to 1894.

### Bishop of Wheeling

On January 22, 1894, Donahue was appointed the third bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling by Pope Leo XIII. He received his episcopal consecration on April 8, 1894, at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cathedral from Cardinal Gibbons, with Bishops John Foley and Leo Haid serving as co-consecrators.

Donahue established 38 parishes, six missions, four hospitals, two monasteries, an orphanage and several schools in the diocese. He also established the first official diocesan periodical, *The Church Calendar*, in 1895 and held the sixth diocesan synod in 1899. The number of priests serving the diocese more than tripled and the number of Catholics increased from 20,000 to 62,000. For all these many achievements, he earned the nickname of the "Great Builder."

Donohue's friendship with New York philanthropist Sara Tracy resulted in a large cash donation to found Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling. Tracy and Donahue had met on a transatlantic voyage in 1899 and became friends over a long game of chess. At the end of the trip, Tracy gave Donahue $5,000 to use in his diocese. The start of several donations, Tracy bequeathed her estate to Donahue in 1905.

Patrick Donahue died on October 4, 1922, in Wheeling from heart disease at age 72.

# Producciones PUNCH

**Producciones PUNCH** was a Colombian *programadora*. It was the first *programadora* to be established in 1956, founded by the Peñaranda family.

## History

PUNCH was involved in many firsts in Colombian television, including the following:

* They were the first in the country to produce a live remote broadcast.
* In 1957, PUNCH became the first *programadora* to produce and air a daily newscast (the 15 minute *El Reporter Esso*, which later became the *Noticiero Suramericano*).
* In 1959, PUNCH debuted the program *El 0597 está ocupado*, considered to be the first Colombian telenovela.

It wasn't just a *programadora*, however: one of its early businesses was outdoor advertising.

It was one of the *programadoras* that became part of the association OTI de Colómbia, which produced the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Other members of OTI included RCN TV, RTI Colombia, Caracol TV, Producciones JES and Datos y Mensajes. In the private channel bidding of 1997, it was one of the losing bids (leading a consortium known as *T.V. Color S.A.*).

### Closure

In May 2000, PUNCH returned all of its programming spaces to Inravisión. It was not the first *programadora* to do so, but it was the most important occurrence of such at the time. Audiovisuales took over the spaces, increasing its program output to 41 hours a week. Though at the time it continued production for Caracol Televisión, its administration was declared expired in July 2000 for not honoring its debts.

# Psephellus dealbatus

***Psephellus dealbatus***, the **Persian cornflower** or **whitewash cornflower**, is a species of *Psephellus* native to the Caucasus Mountains and Turkey. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental perennial.

## Description

The flowers of *P. dealbatus* resemble those of *Centaurea americana* in colour and form; the composite inflorescence has rosy outer florets shading to cream in the center of the 2 in. disk, surrounded by scaly bracts on a slender peduncle 18 to 24 in. long. The blooming period is in early summer.

*Psephellus dealbatus* is most noteworthy for its leaves. Like those of *Centaurea moschata* they are divided, but unlike the latter the division is quite regular. The undersides of the leaves are covered in silver hairs.

## Taxonomy

The Latin epithet of *dealbatus* derived from the Late Latin verb *dealbare* 'to whitewash'. It was first published and described by German botanist Karl Koch in Linnaea Vol.24 on page 438 in 1851.

## Range

It is native to north Caucasus, Transcaucasia and Turkey but has also been introduced to Austria, the Baltic States, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Great Britain and Poland.

## Cultivation

*Psephellus dealbatus* is widely cultivated as an ornamental, though it is not as well known as some other members of the Asteraceae. It is widely adaptable and drought-tolerant. The flowers attract butterflies and bees. It self-seeds to a degree.

The cultivar 'Steenbergii' is recognized, and several cultivars are available.

Sources tracking weed species generally classify it as a "casual alien"; that is, it escapes from gardens but is not invasive. In some areas of the United States it has naturalized.

## History

NR was established in 1952. Until 1970 an important part of the activity was to perform mathematical computations for other organizations. NR has worked with data communication since 1963. The Simula programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard and their research group at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo between 1962 and 1967.

After 1970 NR has been a methodological research institute. In 1985, NR became an independent institute and moved to its present location in 1988. It has worked with the Internet since 1973, ICT security since 1988, multimedia since 1994, e-Inclusion since 2005. It started working with remote sensing in 1982, geostatistics and petroleum in 1983, marine resources in 1988 and electricity prices and finance in 1994.

NR employees Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard received the Turing Award in 2001 and the 2002 IEEE John von Neumann Medal for the introduction of the concepts underlying object-oriented programming through the design and implementation of Simula 67.

A book about the history of NR, *Norsk Regnesentrals historie 1952 - 2002* was published in 2002.
