Neve (American band)

Neve was a pop rock band based out of Los Angeles, California. The band released one album on Columbia Records, and scored one hit single in 1999, "It's Over Now."

History

Neve formed in 1997, and within a year were signed to Columbia Records. Their first album was slated for release in 1998 under the title Identify Yourself, and featured the hit single "It's Over Now," which was also included on the soundtrack to the movie The Faculty. "It's Over Now" peaked on the Billboard Modern Rock charts at No. 30 in 1999 and reached No. 25 on the Adult Top 40 charts in 2000. A second track, "Skyfall," was included in the soundtrack to the film Here on Earth. The album eventually came out simply as Neve in 2000, and garnered stylistic comparisons to Matchbox 20 and Nine Days. However, due to the long lag between the single's popularity and the album release, and other problems with the band's promotion, the album did not sell well, and the band was soon dropped from the label. The band parted ways in 2001.

Nawa, Syria

Nawa (Arabic: نوى‎, Nawā) is a Syrian city administratively belonging to the Daraa Governorate. It has an altitude of 568 meters (1,864 ft). It had a population of 59,170 in 2007, making it the 28th largest city per geographical entity in Syria.

In antiquity it was the city of Neve in the Roman province of Arabia Petraea.

History

Nawa has been defined as the city that Job dwelled in and the burial place of Shem, the son of Noah. The city is referred to by George of Cyprus ("Descriptio orbis romani", ed. Heinrich Gelzer, 54) in the 7th century. Numerous basalt architectural members dating to the Byzantine period bearing Jewish symbols-- most prominently the menorah-- were discovered ire used as spolia within Nawa (A. Reifenberg, 'Ancient Hebrew Arts' , 1952). Under the Islamic Caliphate of the Rashidun, Umayyads, and Abbasids, it was a part of Jund Dimashq and the principal city of Hauran. Al-Mas'udi wrote in 943 that a mosque dedicated to Job was located 3 miles (4.8 km) from Nawa. By the 13th century, its status declined; Yaqut al-Hamawi recorded in 1225 that Nawa was "a small town of the Hauran", formerly the capital of the region. In 1233, Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi, a prominent Muslim scholar, was born in the city.

Paper

Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibres of cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets. It is a versatile material with many uses, including writing, printing, packaging, cleaning, and a number of industrial and construction processes.

The pulp papermaking process is said to have been developed in China during the early 2nd century AD, possibly as early as the year 105 A.D., by the Han court eunuch Cai Lun, although the earliest archaeological fragments of paper derive from the 2nd century BC in China. The modern pulp and paper industry is global, with China leading its production and the United States right behind it.

History

The oldest known archaeological fragments of the immediate precursor to modern paper, date to the 2nd century BC in China. The pulp papermaking process is ascribed to Cai Lun, a 2nd-century AD Han court eunuch. With paper as an effective substitute for silk in many applications, China could export silk in greater quantity, contributing to a Golden Age.
