In Japanese literature, the  is a term used to refer to a "system" of literary cliques and coteries that allow small in-groups of established authors, critics, and publishers to selectively advance the careers of favored protégés by controlling access to publication in prestigious literary magazines and dominating the selection committees for prestigious literary prizes such as the Akutagawa Prize. The Bundan has also been described as an "unofficial literary guild."

The Bundan focuses on highbrow literary fiction (純文学 jun bungaku, literally "pure literature"), and generally does not concern itself with "middlebrow" or "genre" fiction (大衆文学 taishū bungaku, literally "literature for the masses"). Not all authors join the Bundan, but many aspiring authors feel compelled to do so in order to advance their careers. Authors who became independently famous without the patronage of established authors have generally remained aloof; examples of well-known authors not connected to the Bundan include Natsume Sōseki and Mori Ōgai in the early 20th century and Haruki Murakami in more recent years.

Equivalent terms exist to describe networks of well-connected insiders in the world of fine art (画壇 gadan), poetry (詩壇 shidan), music (楽壇 gakudan), and the business world (財界 zaikai).

History

The term "Bundan" was first coined in the Meiji Period by writer and critic Tsubouchi Shōyō to describe the unity and cohesion of the Ken'yūsha literary society as it successfully lobbied for and controlled publications of literary works in the Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper. In the early 20th century, the Bundan played an important role in protecting writers' intellectual property rights and pressuring publishers to pay authors decent prices for stories they published. In the 1920s, prominent publisher Kikuchi Kan was widely recognized as the head of the Bundan, and helped institutionalize its structure by patronizing various literary cliques and establishing important literary prizes including the Akutagawa Prize and the Naoki Prize.

The Bundan remained prominent well into the postwar period. However, a series of fierce political debates within the Bundan, collectively known as the Politics and Literature Debates, weakened its cohesion, and many leading literary critics agreed that the Bundan system "collapsed" around the time of the contentious Anpo protests in 1960 against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, which had exacerbated disagreements among writers about the appropriate role of literature in society.

Nevertheless, the term "Bundan" did not fall out of use, and is still used to describe informal networks of literary insiders in the Japanese literature scene today.

Lil' Red is one of two mascots representing University of Nebraska–Lincoln's athletic programs. Lil' Red was created in 1993, after a statewide contest was conducted to find a counterpart for Herbie Husker. Then-associate athletic director Barbara Hibner spearheaded the contest, hoping a second mascot would appeal to Nebraska's young fans. The mascot has since become a recognizable part of Nebraska athletics culture.

Though Lil' Red's initial intention was mainly to represent the school's volleyball team, it can now 
be seen on the Memorial Stadium sideline at Nebraska football games, as well as Pinnacle Bank Arena during Nebraska basketball games.

The mascot is manufactured by Omaha-based Signs & Shapes International, Inc. The operator of the costume wears a "PowerBelt," a belt with an attached air circulation system, which brings in over  of outside air per minute, enough to accommodate roughly 1,000 people. Due to the outfit's incredibly light weight, the larger-than-life mascot can run, dance, shake hands, and crowd surf.

Lil' Red won the national championship at the NCAA National Mascot Competition in 1999, and was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2007, which selected its winners through an online vote.

Purshia stansburyana is a species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common name Stansbury's cliffrose. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it grows in woodlands, desert, and plateau habitat. It often grows anchored on cliffs and prefers rocky, granular soils, especially limestone.

Orthography
The species name was originally spelled P. stansburiana, but due to a 2006 rule change under the ICBN, the last letter has been restored since the plant was named in honor of Howard Stansbury.

Description
Purshia stansburyana is a shrub generally growing up to about one to three meters tall, known to approach 4 meters to up to 8 meters in exceptional circumstances, becoming somewhat treelike. It easily hybridizes with other Purshia species. It is covered in shreddy bark. The small, very thick, glandular leaves are divided into several lobes which may be divided into sub-lobes.  The leaves on the upper side are dotted, i.e. are punctate.   The shrub blooms abundantly in white or cream-colored flowers with clawed petals; flowers are strongly and sweetly fragrant. Blooming continues from spring until the first frost. The fruit is an achene, a long plumelike structure up to 6 centimeters long. The plume is dispersed on the wind and by animals such as rodents. The shrub is drought-tolerant and the seedlings may actually survive better in years of below average precipitation.

Uses
The Stansbury's cliffrose shrub provides valuable browse for many wild ungulates, including elk, mule deer, and desert bighorn sheep, as well as livestock. Many birds and rodents consume the seeds, with rodents caching them underground, where they may sprout later.

It is used for revegetation projects in degraded habitat in its native region, and as an ornamental. It was used by Native American groups for a variety of purposes, the bark being worked into fiber for clothing, bedding, and rope, and the branches being made into arrows.

PUB was one of the major department stores in Stockholm, Sweden, located in two buildings at Hötorget, Stockholm city center. PUB was opened in 1882 and rapidly expanded. The name PUB is for the initials of Paul Urbanus Bergström, the founder of the store, who owned a great deal of buildings and business in the area.

In the late 20th century, the upper 4 storeys of the department store were converted into a hotel: the Rica Hotel Kungsgatan, later the Scandic Hotel Kungsgatan. In 2015, plans were announced to close the last remaining portion of the store and convert the entire building to the Scandic Hotel Haymarket.

Other information
In April 1917, when the Russian Bolshevik leader Lenin traveled through Stockholm, the Swedish Communists Ture Nerman and Fredrik Ström took their comrade to PUB where they bought him a new suit so he would look good coming back to Russia.
Greta Garbo started to work as a clerk at PUB, 1920. She left 1922 to study at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm.
 In December 2009 PUB became the center of the political hot potato Noko Jeans who sold the first North Korean jeans at the department store but was pulled by PUB after a political controversy regarding the working conditions.

Castagnaccio (locally also known as baldino, ghirighio or pattona) is a plain chestnut flour cake, typically found in the Tuscany, Liguria, Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto regions of Italy, and in the French island of Corsica.

It is a typically autumnal dessert, made by a dough of chestnut, water, olive oil, pine nuts, and raisins, and baked. Local variations may include other ingredients, such as rosemary, orange rind, fennel seeds, and other dried fruit.  There are also variations on the thickness of the cake, and specific names are sometimes used locally to refer to such variations.  For example, in Livorno, a castagnaccio 3 centimeters thick is called "toppone".

Castagnaccio is best served with ricotta, chestnut honey or sweet wines such as vin santo.

Castagnaccio is a typical rural dessert of the Appennini area, where chestnuts used to be a staple food of country communities.  During the economic growth following World War II it lost its role as the main sweet in these areas, and is now prepared and sold mostly as an autumn delicacy.

The  by Ortensio Landi (1553) credits some "Pilade from Lucca" as the inventor of the castagnaccio ("").

USS Sophronia was a 217-ton motorized schooner purchased by the Union Navy during the first  year of  the American Civil War.

The Navy outfitted Sophronia with a powerful  mortar, for use in bombardment, and assigned her to operations on the Mississippi River where Union Navy forces were attempting to gain control of the river in order to split the Confederate States of America in two.

Service history 

Sophronia was purchased by the Navy at New York City from Charles Clark on 3 September 1861; and commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 25 January 1862, Acting Master Lyman Bartholomew in command. Assigned to Comdr. David Porter's Mortar Flotilla, the schooner sailed for Key West, Florida, where the other ships of the force assembled before moving on to Ship Island, Mississippi, on 6 March. On the 18th, the mortar boats were towed across the bar at Pass a L'Outre into the Mississippi River. A month later, the flotilla moved upstream to positions below Forts Jackson and St. Philip and opened fire. Sophronia anchored some 3,000 yards from Fort Jackson and began lobbing mortar shells into the fort, at 1000, at the rate of six an hour. The bombardment continued intermittently until Admiral David Farragut had safely dashed past Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the morning of the 24th. New Orleans, Louisiana, fell to Admiral Farragut the next day, and the two forts surrendered on 28 April as they were cut off from their source of supplies and Union forces were prepared to attack them from three sides.
 
Early in May, Porter took his Mortar Flotilla back to the Gulf of Mexico, but they were recalled to the Mississippi River and ascended the river in June to support Farragut's operations against Vicksburg. However, General Robert E. Lee's successful Seven Days campaign prompted the U.S. Navy Department to recall some of Porter's schooners for possible service on the James River to help protect General George McClellan's beleaguered army. Sophronia arrived in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 31 July and thereafter operated in Chesapeake Bay and on the rivers of Virginia. Sophronia was attached to the Potomac Flotilla in early 1863 and was assigned duty as a guard ship at Piney Point, Virginia. On 19 May, she captured the schooner Mignonette which was carrying contraband. In June 1864, she was one of four schooners assigned to aid a Union Army expedition up the Rappahannock River, after which she resumed her post at Piney Point. Sophronia was decommissioned at the Boston Navy Yard on 21 August 1865 and sold at auction the following month.
