# Suburban Sonnet

"Suburban Sonnet" is a poem by Australian poet Gwen Harwood.
It was first published in The Bulletin on 12 January 1963, under the author's pen-name of "Miriam Stone", and later in several of the author's collections and in other Australian poetry anthologies.

## Outline

While caring for her children a "suburban housewife" remembers the time when she was a pianist who once played for Rubinstein.

## Analysis

While reviewing the poet's Poems: Volume Two collection the reviewer Geoffrey Lehmann commented that "Her poems about bluestockings and critics indicate perhaps an overconsciousness of possible critical reaction." As an example of this analysis he quoted a line from this poem: "Once she played for Rubinstein, who yawned." He went on to say that "Her ingenuity in avoiding obvious phrases is one of the pleasures of her work, but sometimes this makes her poetry excessively cerebral."
In his commentary on the poem in 60 Classic Australian Poems Geoff Page noted there "is a rich vein of 'suburban disillusionment' running through our poetry and [this poem] by Gwen Harwood is its definitive expression.”

# Twice A Stranger: How Mass Expulsion Forged Modern Greece and Turkey

Twice A Stranger: How Mass Expulsion Forged Modern Greece and Turkey (also published as Twice A Stranger: The Mass Expulsions that Forged Modern Greece and Turkey) is a book by Bruce Clark published in 2006 concerning the population exchange between Greece and Turkey which took place in the early 1920s, following the Treaty of Lausanne.
As well as giving a detailed account of the background to the exchange, its implementation and immediate consequences, the author examines the continuing effects which it has had on the politics, culture and national identity of both the states concerned. He focuses particularly on the ambivalent feelings of the few surviving expellees and their descendants towards their former homelands.

# Nancy Evans (mezzo-soprano)

Nancy Evans OBE (19 March 1915 – 20 August 2000) was an English mezzo-soprano who had a notable career as a concert and opera singer. She is particularly associated with Benjamin Britten who wrote his song cycle, A Charm of Lullabies, and the role of Nancy in his opera Albert Herring for her.

## Biography

Evans was born in Liverpool on 19 March 1915 to Florence and Thomas Herbert Evans. She was the second of their three children. She was educated at Calder High School for Girls there. After studying singing first with John Tobin and later with Maggie Teyte and Eva de Reusz, she made her recital debut in Liverpool at the age of 18. In 1935 her father arranged a private recording of her singing by Decca and this led to her taking the part of Dido in the premiere recording of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas with Roy Henderson as Aeneas, under Boyd Neel. Initially a recital and concert singer, she made her stage debut in 1938 in Arthur Sullivan's The Rose of Persia at the Prince's Theatre in London, which was followed by a series of small roles at Royal Opera House. During World War II, she sang throughout Europe and the Middle East in ENSA concerts for the British armed forces.
After the war ended, she joined Benjamin Britten's newly formed English Opera Group. Her first important opera role was Lucretia in the 1946 Glyndebourne production of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia. The following year she created the role of Nancy in his Albert Herring, also at Glyndebourne, and in 1948 she sang Polly in Britten's version of The Beggar's Opera.
After her retirement, Evans taught singing at the Britten-Pears School in Snape Maltings, and was made an OBE in 1991. She died in Aldeburgh at the age of 85.

## Personal life

Her first husband was the record producer Walter Legge, whom she married in 1941. The couple had one daughter, born in 1942, but divorced in 1948. In 1949, Evans married the producer and librettist Eric Crozier, who became a co-founder of the Aldeburgh Festival with Britten and Peter Pears.

# Spinoxin

Spinoxin (SPX; α-KTx6.13) is a 34-residue peptide neurotoxin isolated from the venom of the Malaysian black scorpion Heterometrus spinifer. It is part of the α-KTx6 subfamily and exerts its effects by inhibiting voltage-gated potassium channels, specifically Kv1.2 and Kv1.3.

## Sources

Spinoxin is isolated from the venom of the Malaysian black scorpion H. spinifer, from which the toxin gets its name. Researchers first characterized it in 2003.

## Chemistry
### Structure

Spinoxin is a peptide neurotoxin consisting of 34 amino acid residues. It has a molecular weight of 3.7 kDa. All members of the α-KTx subfamily share a common cysteine-stabilized α/β motif (CSαβ). In spinoxin the N-terminal contains the α-helix whereas the C-terminal contains the β-region/sheet, which is involved in the binding to the potassium-channel, resulting in blocking of the channel. Four disulfide bridges connect these terminals stabilizing the small protein. The pattern of spinoxin disulfide bonding has been determined to be Cys3-Cys24, Cys9-Cys29, Cys13-Cys31, and Cys19-Cys34. A 3D model of spinoxin can be viewed on this website.
The amino acid sequence of spinoxin :
* I R C S G S R D C Y S P C M K Q T G C P N A K C I N K S C K C Y G C-NH2

### Family

Spinoxin belongs to the class of small proteins with knottin folds resulting from the four disulfide bonds. The superfamily spinoxin is part of is known as "scorpion toxin-like", and its family as "short-chain scorpion toxins".

### Homology

Spinoxin has 82% sequence homology with maurotoxin (MTX; α-KTx6.2). Most short-chain scorpion toxins contain three disulfide bridges, whereas several toxins belonging to the α-KTx6 subfamily, including spinoxin and maurotoxin, possess a fourth disulfide bridge.

## Target

Similar to maurotoxin, spinoxin is a member of the extensively studied α-KTx family of neurotoxins acting on voltage-gated potassium channels. However, little is known about spinoxin in particular. Spinoxin targets voltage-gated potassium channels Kv1.2 and Kv1.3, possibly by blocking the selectivity filter with its Lys residues. It has no inhibitory effects on Kv1.1 channels.

## Mode of Action

It has been reported that the following three amino acid residues in particular are important for blocking of potassium channels: Lys$^{23}$, Asn$^{26}$, and Lys$^{30}$. Furthermore, three out of the four disulfide bridges affect the intensity of the inhibition, specifically Cys3-Cys24, Cys9-Cys29, Cys13-Cys31. The Cys19-Cys34 bond does not seem to be required for Kv1.3 inhibition.

## Toxicity

Spinoxin can cause intense pain, visual disturbances and swelling of the affected area. However, it is not lethal to humans.
# Piscivorin

Piscivorin is a component of snake venom secreted by the Eastern Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus). It is a member of the cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) family, which blocks voltage-dependent calcium channels.

## Etymology

The name of piscivorin comes from the snake species name piscivorus, which is derived from the Latin words pisces and vorare, meaning 'fish' and 'to devour' respectively.

## Sources

Piscivorin is produced in the venom glands of the Eastern Cottonmouth snake (Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus), which populates the Eastern United States. Typically, crude venom from the Eastern Cottonmouth contains approximately 1.25% of piscivorin.

## Biochemistry

Piscivorin belongs to the cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) family, which are secreted as single-chain proteins with molecular masses between 20 and 30 kDa. They display significant amino acid sequence homology. Sixteen cysteine residues, forming 8 disulfide bonds, are strictly conserved in CRISPs. Ten of these cysteine residues are clustered into the C-terminal part of the protein.
The molecular mass of piscivorin is 24.842 kDa. The nucleotide sequence of piscivorin cDNA spans 1323 bp, containing an open reading frame of 240 codons.
Piscivorin has the following amino acid sequence.
| 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 |
| MIAFIVLPIL | AAVLQQSSGS | VDFDSESPRK | PEIQNQIVDL | HNSLRRSVNP | TASNMLKMEW |

| KSGPPCGDCP | SACVNGLCTN | PCTKEDKYTN | CKSLVQQYGC | QDKQMQSECS | AICFCQNKII |

## Target and mode of action

Piscivorin reduces high potassium-evoked smooth muscle contraction, but does not inhibit caffeine-stimulated contraction of smooth muscle. Since caffeine normally causes contraction through the release of Ca$^{2+}$ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, this differential effect indicates that piscivorin is an L-type calcium channel blocker. At a concentration of 1 μM, its effect on depolarization-induced smooth muscle contraction is weaker than of the related CRISP family toxins ablomin, triflin or latisemin. A sequence comparison of piscivorin and other CRISP family proteins suggests that the Glu186 residue is the crucial site for the blocking of the calcium channels.
Unlike some other CRISP family proteins, piscivorin does not block cyclic nucleotide-gated channels.
# Battle of Apulia

The Battle of Apulia, in 1573 was a battle led by Piali Pasha against the Kingdom of Naples coast of Apulia, which was under the rule of the Spanish Empire.

## Background

The Ottoman–Venetian War (1570–1573) ended with the Treaty signed in Constantinople of the Holy Alliance on March 7, 1573, and the Holy League was effectively dissolved. Thereupon, the Ottoman navy targeted not the Republic of Venice with which peace was made during the 1573 campaign season, but the Kingdom of Naples lands that were part of the Spanish Empire.
Piali Pasha, who carried out the naval preparations together with Occhiali and was re-appointed as the navy commander, set sail for the Mediterranean on June 3, 1573.

## Battle

220 pieces (208 galley and 12 barges), After reaching Avlonia, the Ottoman navy crossed the Strait of Otranto and landed on the Apulia shores of the Kingdom of Naples and captured Kastro castle (the same castle had been captured in 1537 during Lütfi Pasha's Pulya expedition). After loading many prisoners and booty captured during the plunder of the region onto ships, the Ottoman navy advanced to the Messina Strait, but due to adverse weather conditions, they gave up going to the Naples and Sicily coasts. Returning to Avlonia, Piali Pasha stopped by Nafpaktos and Pylos and fortified the Pylos castle, leaving Occhiali in charge of it with a few galleys. The fleet returned to Istanbul on November 1, 1573.
With this expedition, the Ottoman navy showed that it had left behind the negative effects of the Lepanto defeat of two years earlier. Indeed; In the expedition of 1572, the fleet that did not sail south of Morea, appeared in Italy waters again in 1573, and in 1574, it sailed further west and conquered Tunisia.

## Aftermath

Taking advantage of the presence of the Ottoman navy on the coast of Apulia The Spanish navy under the command of John of Austria targeted the city of Tunis, which had been annexed to the Ottoman lands in 1569, and captured it on October 10, 1573.
Thereupon, the main goal of the Ottoman navy in the following campaign season (1574) was Liberation of Tunis from occupation.
The Ottoman Empire, which essentially ended the war with Venice with the peace treaty signed on March 15, 1573, had the opportunity to focus its forces on the Spanish Empire by taking advantage of the de facto dissolution of the Holy League formed in 1571.

# Ralph Blackett

Ralph Blackett (1831 – 29 December 1877) was an English poet, hymn (and later, dialect song) writer, and businessman, associated with Tyneside in North East England.

## Life

Ralph Blackett was born in 1831. He worked for many years on the Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne, as a well respected businessman. This position had been earned by his own endeavours, ability and hard work. He lost it, in misfortune and a downturn in trade.
He was related to George Charleton Barron, an actor, mimic and elocutionist. Like many of his contemporaries, he appears in Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside songs and readings with lives, portraits and autographs of the writers, and notes on the songs. Revised Edition.
Blackett was refined and well mannered. Well brought up, he was quiet and reserved, but at the same time could be genial and kind, particularly with friends. Later in life he moved to Middlesbrough, where he died on 29 December 1877, aged 46.

## Writing

In his youth, he had been a proficient and prolific Hymn writer, many were considered to be very beautiful.
It is rumoured that one of these sacred works was published, but no trace appears to remain. As he grew older he also turned to songs and poetry, generally in a rich Geordie dialect.
He became a regular contributor to Charter's Chronicle and Annual and he won a prize with his first dialectic song from the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle with "Jimmy's Deeth" which was later incorporated into the pantomime at Newcastle's Tyne theatre.
His works include:
* "Fortnith's wages weekly" - about a rumour that wages will be paid weekly instead of fortnightly - first appeared in Keelmin's comic annewal, for 1871 (which supposedly "gi'es ye the best bits o' wit an' wisdim, be the clivvorest cheps aboot Tyneside")
* "Jimmy’s deeth" – won a prize in the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle
