Nicolaus Savini Mathei alias Ricci de Nucella Campli, (fl. 1401–1425; d. 1438 or after), also Niccolò Ricci and Nucella, was an Italian composer, singer, and scribe of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Only a single work by Nicolaus is known, the ballata De bon parole.

Life
Nothing was known of this composer until the discoveries of Giuliano Di Bacco and John Nádas, published in summary form in 1998 and more completely in 2004. From his name it seems he was born or active in Abruzzo, since "Nucella" or "Nocella" is a small località less than 2 km south-east of Campli.

He is documented as a member of the papal chapels of Popes Boniface IX, Innocent VII, and Gregory XII of the Roman obedience from 1401–1410.  He was listed as "cantor dnp" (singer for the lord, the pope) and "prepositus ecclesie S. Victorie de Nucella Campli Aprutin. dioc." ("Provost of the church of Saint Victoria of Nocella, Campli in the diocese of Teramo") in a document from November 10, 1401.  He is later listed as also being a familiar of the pope (March 27, 1405), then a priest (July 15, 1407), then a scribe for the pope (May 5, 1410), while gaining affiliations with several other churches.  On October 17, 1435 Nicolaus Ricci was given a six-month release from his duties to visit his father who was about to celebrate his hundredth birthday.  On February 13, 1436 he is noted as released from obligations ("absolutio"). On the recommendation from the Cardinal of S. Clemente, Pope Eugenius IV appointed Baptista Maco Palazzo as Niccolò's successor on July 6, 1438.

Music
Nicolaus Ricci is known as the composer of a single, extant piece, De bon parole. It is attributed to "Nucella" on folio 86r in its single source, the manuscript Strasbourg M222 C22 (destroyed in 1870 by a fire started by a bombardment in the Franco-Prussian War but surviving in a copy by Edmond de Coussemaker now in Brussels).  The attribution to "Nucella" was thought to be a corruption of the word "Micinella", the title of a Gloria by Antonio "Zachara" da Teramo and thus a possible work of Zachara's. The new biographical evidence invalidates this theory, and some stylistic similarities can be explained by both composers being active in Rome in the Papal Chapel at the same time.  This three-voice piece is in tempus imperfectum cum prolatione minori () in the lower voices while coloration and ars subtilior note shapes in the cantus let that voice move through the two major prolations ( and ).

Edition and recording
Nicolaus Ricci's ballata "De bon parole" was edited in Polyphonic Music of the Fourteenth Century vol. 10, W. Thomas Marrocco, ed. (Monaco: Éditions de L'oiseau-lyre, 1977), pp. 101–2, 152, and has been recorded on Menando gli anni. La Musica in Abruzzo tra Medioevo e Rinascimento, Le Cantrici di Euterpe CD02, by the Italian group Aquila Altera ensemble (2002) and Un Fior Gentile. L'Ars Nova di Zacara da Teramo, Micrologus CDM 0012.00, by the Italian group "Ensemble Micrologus" (2004).

The Pack () is a 2010 horror film directed and written by Franck Richard. It stars Yolande Moreau, Philippe Nahon, Émilie Dequenne and Benjamin Biolay. The film is about Charlotte and Max who come across a restaurant. After Max disappears, Charlotte returns later to find him and gets herself trapped in a cage by the restaurant owner, who has a pack of cannibals with her. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2010 and was first shown in North America at the Fantasia Festival. The film has received generally mixed reviews.

Plot
A young female traveler, Charlotte (Émilie Dequenne) gets into a fight with a group of bikers. After this, she meets Max, a hitchhiker. The two stop off at La Spack, a rundown roadside eatery run by a woman (Yolande Moreau), after whom the restaurant is named. The biker gang reappears and is chased off by the owner of the restaurant. Moments later, Max vanishes after heading to the bathroom. Charlotte elects to investigate at nightfall to the spot where Max disappeared. Charlotte later finds herself bound and caged, a prisoner of La Spack, who sees her as the next meal for her brood, a pack of ghouls.

Cast
 Yolande Moreau as La Spack
 Émilie Dequenne as Charlotte
 Philippe Nahon as Chinaski, a retired cop.
 Benjamin Biolay as La Spack's son
 Eric Godon as Jean-Jean
 Matthias Schoenaerts as The Gothic sham

Production
The Pack is the debut feature of director Franck Richard. Richard said that he created the film as he had "liked genre films ever since I was a child"

Release
The Pack was originally slated to have an outdoor screening of the film shown at the Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2010. This idea was halted by the Classification Committee of the NCC, who did not want the film to be seen by people under the age of 16. The Pack premiered at Cannes for the press on 15 May and for the public on 17 May 2010. The film had its North American premiere at the Fantasia Festival on 20 July 2010.
Icon has bought the rights for the United Kingdom release of the film. The film was released as part of the Bloody Disgusting Selects line.

Reception
The horror film magazine Fangoria described the film as a hybrid of Calvaire and Haute Tension stating that the film "unfortunately shapes up as one of the weakest in the past decade’s resurgence of French-language frights." Variety wrote that The Pack "does fun things with its ranch-like setting, playful gore and creatures known as ghouls, yet it's too uproariously modeled on every late night classic under the sun to feel fresh or dramatically apt." Empire wrote a negative review, saying that "Though certainly original, the creatures eventually revealed in Franck Richard's The Pack are far less entertaining than the game of guess-the-genre that the director deftly plays in the film's first third." The film was nominated for a Magritte Award in the category of Best Production Design in 2012.

Browning is the process of partially cooking the surface of meat to develop its flavor through various browning reactions and give it a more attractive color.

It is a common first step in cooking braised meats and stews.

Techniques
Browning is typically done using a frying pan, which is generally preheated to a medium high temperature to avoid sticking. In order to brown properly, the meat should first have surface moisture removed. This is usually achieved by patting the meat with a paper towel to remove water.

Ground meat is frequently browned before adding other ingredients, as when it is added to casseroles or prepackaged food products like Hamburger Helper, where the final cooking temperature will not be high enough to initiate the Maillard reaction. It is stirred during cooking to break it up and to promote even browning. Onions and seasonings are sometimes added. When the meat has reached the desired degree of brownness, the pan is removed from the heat and the excess fat is drained.

Valentine's southern dusky salamander (Desmognathus valentinei) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the southeastern United States.

Taxonomy 
It was previously thought to be a population of Holbrook's southern dusky salamander (D. holbrooki), with both species being grouped together as the southern dusky salamander. However, a 2008 study found D. holbrooki as previously defined to be polyphyletic and containing multiple undescribed species. One of these undescribed species was formally described in 2017 as D. valentinei. It is named in honor of Barry D. Valentine, a biologist and former faculty emeritus at Ohio State University, who had first suggested the distinctiveness of this taxon in the early 1960s.

Distribution 
It is found in the Gulf Coast region, where it ranges from the Mobile Bay region of Alabama west through the southern half of Mississippi to eastern Louisiana.

Description 
Despite its close resemblance to D. holbrooki, it has some morphological differences. It has a larger body structure than D. holbrooki and has nondescript dorsal markings instead of the crisply-defined blotches on other Desmognathus species. They also differ in aspects of the skull, and the tails of D. valentinei have a bladelike shape instead of narrowing to a tip.

Benjamin's Crossing is a 1996 historical novel written by Jay Parini about the Jewish critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin, and his escape over the Pyrenees from Nazi occupied France into Spain. It was a New York Times Notable Book of the year in 1997.

Praise 

 The New York Times "Parini's story is at once painstakingly researched and dramatically recounted. It locates Benjamin's mystifying traits in a vivid and believable psychology. And it has something important to tell us, not just about Benjamin but about the role of the intellectual in modern Western society."
 The New Yorker "A brisk, moving novel containing a parable without confining itself to a parable's two-dimensionality."
 Booklist: "Parini's vital and affecting vision of Benjamin will do much to preserve Benjamin's precious legacy."
 Publishers Weekly "In a formidable display of intellectual and imaginative sympathy, Parini novelizes the life and death of Walter Benjamin, one of the major literary and cultural critics of the twentieth century."
 The Philadelphia Inquirer "Parini's exquisite achievement-and exquisite is exactly the word for his poet's fluid prose-is that the social criticism he channels through Walter Benjamin in this novel is as troubling today as then."
 Kirkus Reviews "A moving, impressively informed novel based on the life of one of the century's most austere, provocative, and tragic intellectuals, Walter Benjamin."
