Ștefan Niculescu (July 31, 1927 – January 22, 2008) was a Romanian composer.

Niculescu was born in Moreni, Dâmbovita. He was credited with introducing his own brand of heterophony, a technique based on superimposing melodic material onto variations of itself in order to create textures that are propelled by thematic energy as well as by the more common textural factors of density and levels of activity. This creative approach bears similarities with György Ligeti's micropolyphony, but important aesthetic and stylistic differences set them apart.

Niculescu's work as a teacher made him a mentor to a whole generation of younger Romanian composers, among them Costin Miereanu, Horațiu Rădulescu and Dan Dediu. 

In the 1970s he contributed to the popularization of modern music by organizing public listenings in Bucharest together with Şerban Stănciulescu.

Niculescu's work Ison II for wind and percussion permutates simultaneous segments of a diatonic melody producing a reverberating complexity of sound which is held together by a strong sense of modal clarity. Opus Dacicum for orchestra applies similar textural explorations but with a stronger sense of harmonic movement, often with a Wagnerian lushness that lends this music a sensuous appeal a world apart from Ligeti's cluster-oriented sonorities.

Among his honors are many awards from the Romanian Academy and The Society of Romanian Composers. He also received awards from the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1972), the International Record Critics Award (1985), and the Herder Prize in Vienna (1994).

Pashta (Hebrew: ) is a common cantillation mark found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books of the Hebrew Bible. It is part of the Katan group. Its mark symbol is identical to that of the Kadma.

While Kadma and Pashta use the same symbol, Pashta is distinct from Kadma in the placement of the symbol. Kadma is always placed on the accented syllable, while Pashta is placed on the last letter as well as on the accented syllable, if it's not the last.

The Hebrew word  translates into English as stretching out.

Occurrences
In the Katan group, the Pashta can be found either following a Mahpach, or with the Mahpach absent. Following the Pashta will either be a Munach-Zakef katan or just a Zakef katan.

The Pashta can also occur before the Segol group.

The orangespotted goby (Nes longus) is a species of goby native to the tropical Atlantic coast from Bermuda and southern Florida through the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico south to the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and Colombia, where it prefers silty bottoms around reefs.  It is a commensal with an alpheid shrimp.  This species grows to a length of  TL.  This species is the only known member of its genus.

This species is symbiotic with snapper shrimp Alpheus floridanus, sharing the burrow with the shrimps, usually a pair, on unvegetated silty substrates in waters of less than  depth. The goby and its host shrimps interact closely and the goby is dependent on its hosts' burrow for cover. The goby acts as a sentinel, watching for danger from the entrance of the burrow. The diet of the orangespotted goby consists mainly of small gastropods, decapods, ostracods and isopods.

Music Press was a small music publishing firm based in New York City during the 1940s.

History 

Founded in 1940, Music Press was based in New York City's Steinway Building in Midtown Manhattan. Richard Dana, a descendant of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Richard Henry Dana Jr., founded the music publishing firm in 1940 with his cousin, the music librarian Carleton Sprague Smith. The publisher was a conservative representation of the field, and included a New York University composer and a Boston-based music critic among its leadership. Dana was an outsider to New York's music scene and worked to befriend the city's composers. World War II interrupted the publisher's activities. After the war, Music Press began musical imprints based on individual performers, such as John Kirkpatrick's selections for American Piano Music. In 1948, the Music Library Association recognized five Music Press-published works as among its top ten for the year, including Ned Rorem's "The Lordly Hudson". The firm was the first to publish Virgil Thomson and Gertrude Stein's operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All.

The publisher was run on a small budget and only had a single staff member. Composers frequently moved between the small music presses of the period. Even with donations from patrons, the firm's financials grew dire by 1948 and the press resorted to passing publishing costs to a composer. With the conclusion that the press had printed too many works too fast, Dana stopped Music Press's publishing in April 1949. A West Coast distribution contract, while explored, did not save the company from revenue issues. Mercury Music acquired Music Press in December 1949.
