# Château de Couanac

The Château de Couanac is a castle in the commune of Varaire in the Lot département of France.
It was built in the 16th century by the powerful family of Hébrard de Saint-Sulpice, incorporating part of an earlier Romanesque church dedicated to Saint George.
The castle is composed of two corps de logis. The main logis is flanked by two towers, one round and the other square with machicolations at the top. At the bottom of the tower is the doorway to the chapel, situated partly under the tower, which has kept its Romanesque transept. Originally, the church's apse was in the east. The columns of the triumphal arch are based in the crypt and are surmounted by sculpted Romanesque capitals. The bodies of former owners are interred in the crypt. The Renaissance south façade has several mullioned windows and dormers surmounted with pediments. Several rooms still have plafonds à la française (French-style ceilings: joists the same width as the spaces between them; see Plafond à la française in French Wikipedia).
The second range of buildings, known as Château Bouscary, is to the south and has a round tower. In the courtyard, the entrance gateway is composed of segments of a circle, with sculptured framing in the form of a lopped tree. Following restoration, the Gothic arch at the entrance to the enceinte was transformed to the shape of a basket handle. In the castle's courtyard is a well partly dug into the rock and covered with a conical roof.
The Château de Couanac is private property and is open to the public. It has been listed since 1974 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

# Nirschl

Nirschl, also known by the owner's name, Walter Nirschl, is a German company that builds musical instruments. Nirschl is a sixth-generation builder of musical instruments. Nirschl builds brass instruments, including trumpets, trombones, French horns, mellophones, euphoniums, and tubas, under the 'Meister Walter Nirschl' brand in his factory in Bavaria and collaborates with Gemstone Musical Instruments on the W. Nirschl brass line. Nirschl's instruments are played in some of the finest orchestras in the world.
Nirschl's great-great-great-great-grandfather started making harmonicas and later brass instruments in central Graslitz, Bohemia in 1810. His grandfather, Wenzel Meinl, set up a music shop in Geretsried in 1945, and Walter later trained at the shop with his uncle Anton Meinl. After learning the business in his uncle's factory, Nirschl apprenticed at other factories, including American and French shops. Eventually he purchased the Böhm & Meinl Symphonic, a brass instrument company in Geretsried, which at the time was the only company in the world making large bore piston tubas in the size and style of the great American York tubas.
Carl Fischer, a music publisher who then owned the York name, sold "York Master" instruments that were designed to be visually and functionally similar to the American designs, but were made in Germany on completely different tooling by Böem & Meinl.
In 2002, Nirschl was hired by a company in the United Kingdom to modernize a factory in India, and used his company in Geretsried to build prototypes. After significant investment, the financial backers decided to get out of the music business, which left the Indian factory dormant. Gemstone Musical Instruments recognized the opportunity and partnered with Nirschl, which combined the 60 year sales and marketing traditions of the Gemeinhardt Company with the six generations of German instrument craftsmanship. A full line of 'W. Nirschl' brass instruments is now produced in China, Brazil and India.

# Nexen Building, Calgary

801 Seventh Avenue S.W., commonly known as the Nexen Building, is a high rise office building in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
It is a 37-storey skyscraper, with a height of 153 m (502 ft). It was designed by CPV Group Architects and Engineers Ltd and built by CANA Construction Company Limited. The late-modernist building was completed in 1982.
The Nexen Building employs a composite stub-girder steel-frame floor system, originally developed in part by Joseph Colaco.
It is unique in that it is one of the few buildings in Calgary that do not follow the traditional grid pattern of the downtown core. Instead of facing south–north, or east–west, it stands diagonally.

## Tenants

The original tenant of the Nexen Building was the NOVA Corporation. In 2000, the building became Nexen's headquarters. Nexen was purchased by Chinese state-owned CNOOC in 2013 and reduced its workforce over time.
Nexen moved from the Nexen Building in 2019, instead subleasing 8 floors of The Bow from Cenovus, leaving the Nexen Building the largest-ever completely vacant building in downtown Calgary.
# Nicola (apple)

Nicola is the trade name of the apple cultivar SPA440, a cross between the apples 'Splendour' and 'Gala' made at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC), Summerland, BC. Nicola is a mid-late season apple, typically harvested at 3-4 on the Cornell general Starch chart. Fruit is bicolour, large in size and typically a solid fire engine red over colour, (~80%) over a yellow-green background colour. Fruit is crisp, juicy, and sweet and stores well, with full aromatic flavours developing after several weeks of storage.
Nicola is currently available in Canada, as well as natural grocery stores in Oregon (i.e. New Seasons Market) and Maryland (i.e MOM's Organic Market), and possibly other states within the United States. Plantings are limited in size, but growing yearly with greater production coming online in 2010.
# Christophe Pélissier (businessman)

Christophe Pélissier (29 April 1728 – before October 1779) (sometimes spelled Pellissier) was born in the parish of Saint-Pierre et Saint-Saturnin, Lyons, France, the son of François-Christophe Pélissier, a merchant, and Agathe Martaud La Rigaudière. He died, apparently in France, in 1779.
He was director of the Saint-Maurice ironworks near the city of Trois-Rivières in Quebec in the mid-1770s.
When the Americans invaded Quebec in 1775, Pélissier, whom his business associate Pierre de Sales Laterrière described as a "strong supporter of John Wilkes and his system of freedom", strongly supported the American cause. General Richard Montgomery met with him in December 1775 to discuss the establishment of a provincial convention for the purpose of electing representatives to the Second Continental Congress, a step Pélissier advised against until Quebec City was taken.
His ironworks supplied ammunition, bombs, and cannonballs for the siege of Quebec; he also wrote a letter to the Second Continental Congress on January 8, 1776, to point out the measures they should take for a successful taking of Quebec. As the Americans retreated from Quebec in May and June 1776, Pélissier fled the province with them. On July 29, 1776, he received an engineering lieutenant colonel's commission in the Continental Army, and in October assisted in the improvement of the defenses at Fort Ticonderoga. He eventually returned to his family home in France.
When he fled Quebec, Pélissier left behind his second wife Catherine, who began to have an affair with Laterrière in his absence. (It is likely that Laterrière was also a suitor of hers prior to her marriage.) Pélissier, apparently unaware of the affair, was eventually granted permission to return to Quebec to bring her to France. He finally left Quebec for good and returned to France in 1778 only with the children from his first marriage, and the satisfaction of having Laterrière accused of collaboration with the Americans (for which Laterrière would spend three years in prison).
Laterrière and Catherine married in October 1779, presumably having received word of Pélissier's death.

# Nicolas Pierre Camus de Pontcarré

Nicolas Pierre Camus of Pontcarré (1667 - 10 December 1734), was an Advisor to the Parlement of Paris (1688), Advisor to the King (1703), Master of Appeals (1691), first president of the Normandy parliament (1703 - 1730), and the son of Nicolas Camus (1625 - 1715), Lord of Grange Dumidiou and Pontcarré, advisor to the king in his yard Parliament (1679), and Marguerite Hélène Durand, daughter of a councillor of the Parlement of Paris.
As the first president of the parliament of Normandy, he dedicated himself to prevent famine, maintained order in the midst of the most critical circumstances, and risked his life to save the steward of Courson, wanted by the people for his dishonourable economic practices.
His daughter, Jeanne Camus de Pontcarré (1705-1775), became the famous Madame d'Urfé because of her ties with the Count of St. Germain, the Count of Cagliostro, and Casanova.
His portrait was painted by Hyacinthe Rigaud in 1705 for 150 pounds .
