Event: Film Screening of "Isaac Pope: "The Spirit of an American Century" and Q&A with the Executive Producer
On December 17, 2018, the Kinston premiere of "Isaac Pope: The Spirit of an American Century" will be held at the Kinston Community Center, at 2602 Vernon Ave, at 7:00 p.m. This screening will commemorate what would have been Pope's 101st birthday.
Pope was a Kinston native and a one-of-a-kind. He left an impression on the lives of many from his humble beginning on a tobacco farm, to becoming a veteran of the U.S. Army, to being one of the most "socially aware" people of his time.
Please come out to this amazing event, which is hosted by the City of Kinston and Mayor Dontario Hardy, because it will be a night to remember! The Producer, Paula J. Caplan, will respond to questions after the screening. The event is free and open to the public.
For questions about the event please contact Debra Thompson, City Clerk at 252-939-3115 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I think often about trying new varieties on the farm. Part of my fascination with testing out new plant types has to do with being on a new farm with conditions unlike any I have known before. Another reason must have to do with something innate within me that loves to experiment - the opportunity to do just that is one reason I also loved teaching art. A third reason is that experimentation is just part of this "work." The plant world is so expansive. It seems to grow exponentially the more I learn about it, too.
Here are just a few of the new varieties that we'll welcome this spring and summer. We look forward to sharing them with our wedding and event clients and market customers. They'll be here before you know it!
- Camas Lily: 'Cammasia' or 'wild hyacinth' are actually from the asparagus family. They are perennial plants that grow from small bulbs to a height of 12 to 50 inches. Camas lily are native to the Northwest, where they can fill entire meadows and prefer moist, but well-draining soil. They don't require lifting in zones 4 and higher, bloom in mid-to late spring, and they are a deer-resistant plant. I'm hoping that they will take well to our perennial beds. I planted them nearer to the tree line, where the soil is better draining.
- Scabiosa Scoop: The Scabiosa "Scoop" series is a newcomer to the American-grown flowers scene. They are difficult to find, because their seeds are not available for purchase. Bred vegetatively, by a commercial cut flower nursery operation in Israel, the Scoop series flowers offer larger flower heads and longer stems. The plants all have berry or dessert/candy-related names. We're going to trial "blackberry" and "red velvet" as started plants (plugs) on our farm this summer.
- Lisianthus (also known as Prairie Gentian and Texas Bluebell): These slow-to-start annual flowers are known to be difficult to start from seed. We're trying our first 8 varieties as seeds and as plugs to see how both do (and whether or not we can even get some going from seed!). Image from Johnny's Selected Seeds.
- Mask Flower (Alonsoa): We've added Coral Beauty, Shell Pink, and Red Mask Flower to the line up for next summer. Mask flower is a 4ft tall annual plant that produces lots of 1-2inch blooms and adds whimsy to bouquets. This is a quick growing plant that also serves as a hummingbird magnet. Mask flower is also a tender perennial in zones 9b and higher - good news for you Floridian readers out there! You can find Mask Flower seeds at Baker Creek's website, through Sunshine Flower Seeds, and at Plant World Seeds.com.
- Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate: Seeds for Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate are coming to us from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, a company started on the West Coast by Jere Gettle at just 17 years of age in 1998. It is now the largest heirloom seed company in the U.S., with over 2,000 varieties. Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate grows up to 6 feet tall and has trailing tails of bright pink flowers. Despite its height, the plant rarely needs to be staked. Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson and is now coming back into favor with growing interest in heirloom seeds. It is known to self-seed well, so I'm hoping that our work to get it started this spring will eventually yield an easy return crop in successive years. This plant does best with direct sowing in the fall or late winter. Freeze the seeds for two weeks prior to spring sowings. Images from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
- Semi Trailing Nasturtium: We're adding two types of semi-trailing nasturtium to the plan this summer. These varieties require a trellis, or a hanging planter to accommodate their roughly 5 feet of growth. We're growing 'Gleam Salmon' - made popular recently by cut flower growers the likes of Floret Flower Farm - and 'Purple Emperor' this year. Our seeds are coming from Sunshine Flower Seeds.
- And then there are the 17 varieties of sweet peas from England! Click here for photos and next year's trial growing method.
As always, thank you for reading and sharing in our love for flowers and growing. Please don't hesitate to share a comment or question below. I love hearing from you!

Farmer's Story
A group of farmers known as Hingakawa—all of whom are women—are turning out coffees of rare elegance. After bearing witness to one of Rwanda's darkest episodes, the farmers of Hingakawa found a path forward through coffee—one that embraces reconciliation, revitalization and improved livelihoods. Hingakawa, a mantra that translates to "Let's grow coffee," is a product of patience, care and love.
Artist's Story
I still can't believe that this association is made entirely of women in a historically male dominated country. Because of that I knew I had to have HER – the female farmer – at the forefront of my art. The basket represents the idea that Rwandan women are a strong, tightly woven unit, bringing stability to their economy and keeping their families bound together. Her dress mimics the valley and mountain behind her as a nod to her new craft; by harvesting nature in the form of coffee beans, she is rebuilding her nation literally from the ground up. I wanted this card to feel vibrant and powerful - just like her.

THE LEFTOVERS is an Arduous Journey Worth Taking
It's been something of a "rough ride" sticking with HBO's new series THE LEFTOVERS through its ten episodes. The premise of a world (specifically a small town in New York) gone mad after 2% of the population literally disappears without explanation starts dark, and gets only darker as the show progresses. "Life goes on" they say, and so it does... or so it appears. Three years after "The Departure" is where the story begins, and we immediately see that even though the world still turns, people still go to work, and everything has the surface appearance of normality, that there is a festering wound just beneath the surface, threatening to erupt in tragedy. In each successive episode we see people sinking further into depression, lashing out in violence, deliberately provoking others, exhibiting self-destructive behavior, or just trying to pretend that nothing ever happened. At one point, I asked myself "Is wading through all of this human misery going to pay off, or is this just an exercise in pointless masochism?" Well, it DOES pay off, but probably not in a way that one might expect. I will not spoil the show here for those who haven't watched THE LEFTOVERS yet, although the word "spoiler" doesn't really apply here in any kind of narrative sense. Summation of the show's thematic climax in mere words would leave it sounding cheap and tawdry, and could not possibly envelop the "big picture" that can only be experienced through watching THE LEFTOVERS from beginning to end. What we get at the end of Season One (the series has been green lit for a second season), is a kind of emotional and thematic resolution that is satisfying in a way that no plot twist could possibly match. It's one that will certainly be divisive among viewers, but one that I found to be bordering on brilliance. This episode emotionally floored me in a way that I'm not sure that I've ever really experienced before. While there are still many mysterious aspects of the series that have yet to be explained or illuminated at this point, the logic - such as it is - behind "The Departure" starts to reveal itself somewhere around the sixth or seventh episode, but doesn't fully emerge until the finale. I must warn you here and now that getting to that finale will take a certain degree of perseverance and patience. I have a few friends who gave up with the show along the way, and I'm hoping to persuade them into giving it another chance.
THE LEFTOVERS is based on a book by Tom Perrotta, which was adapted to television by the author and Damon Lindelof (of LOST fame), and it *feels* very much like a work of literature. This series will not be everyone's "cup of tea"... If you are a person who prefers a definitive hard narrative over nuanced vagaries, you might want to sit this one out. THE LEFTOVERS is weird. There... I said it. That's not a bad thing - not at all. "Weird" simply means that it's different from what I am accustomed to from a television series. "Weird" means that it's frequently unsettling and often upsetting in a deep, under-the-surface kind of way. "Weird" means that THE LEFTOVERS much of the time eschews realism for a dream logic to get its point across. Many of my favorite filmmakers - like David Lynch - create "weird" films. This is nothing like a David Lynch film... it's not that heavily stylilzed, and falls much more into the realm of realism that most of Lynch's oeuvre. This story is told much more by coloring with emotions, instincts, and feelings that typically elude being encompassed by words, and the Season One denouement is almost ineffable in its impact. If asked to describe exactly why THE LEFTOVERS affected me so deeply, I doubt that I could find the words to do it justice, but it's there, just out of reach, but nonetheless undeniable.

Real Estate Closings: Document Review -$150, Document Review and Attend Closing -$300
When you purchase or sell a house or other real property you will be required to sign numerous documents including the deed, the title insurance policy, promissory note, deed of trust, disclosures and more. These documents define your legal rights – what you own (or don't), what your liabilities are to others, what obligations other parties have to you, what protections you have from claims of others. Understand what your title insurance covers and, in most cases, what it doesn't cover. Protect your rights and understand the purpose of each document you sign. Have an attorney either review the documents before closing or attend the closing with you. Contact Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Document Review - $150, Document Review and Attend Closing - $300
Demand Letter via Certified Mail – $360
If you are locked in a disagreement with another person or a company, you might be considering filing a lawsuit. However, civil litigation can be expensive and often may take months or even years to be concluded. Before filing a lawsuit you should first make a formal written demand of that party to attempt to resolve the issue without litigation A well crafted Demand Letter from an attorney will clearly establish
- what legal issue you want resolved,
- what rights you are asserting,
- how the offending party has violated those rights, and
- the legal remedies and damages you will seek if not resolved.
The Demand Letter is often the first and last step to resolving a dispute. If you are in a dispute and believe your rights have been violated, contact Attorney Andrew Bernick to issue a Demand Letter on your behalf. Call 512-763-5370 or email email@example.com.
Lease Drafting and Review: Drafting or Review – $150
If you are a landlord renting residential or commercial property do not enter into a lease without a comprehensive written lease contract. The laws that govern landlord/tenant relationships vary from state to state. Leases for property located in Texas should be specific to the Texas Property Code. As a landlord or tenant it is most important that there is a clear understanding of each parties' obligations concerning rent payments and fees, security deposits, repair obligations, the right to terminate early, etc. A well-written and comprehensive lease is essential to avoiding common landlord/tenant conflicts and staying out of court. For assistance with your lease, call Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or email him at email@example.com
Drafting or Review - $150
Easements and Deed Covenants: Drafting and Recording – $350
If you have granted or are being granted an easement across the property of another, or would like to record promises (covenants) with neighbors about land use, it is important that the easement or covenant be properly documented and recorded with the county clerk's office. Failure to record with the County Clerk will result in the easement or covenant to not "run with the land" when the property changes ownership. This means that is as an easement holder you may lose the right to use the easement if the other party sells their property. As well, if you are benefiting from a covenant or promise with a neighbor about use of land, and the neighbor sells their property, the new neighbor may have no obligation to you if the easement or covenant is not recorded. To protect your ownership and land use rights, have us ensure that properly drafted easements and covenants are recorded in the county records. For assistance, call Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or email email@example.com
Drafting and Recording - $350
Home Owners Association Dispute -Free Consultation
The HOA rules for you community are typically detailed in the community's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (the CCRs). Most likely you agreed, knowingly or not, to abide by these rules when you purchased the property in the community. However, HOAs have been known to overextend their authority or apply their enforcement in non-uniform manner, such as targeting some property owners while favoring others, or arbitrarily enforcing neglected rules at great expense to property owners. If you have a major dispute and believe your HOA is violating your rights as a property owner you can take legal action. For a consultation to evaluate your rights with regards to an HOA, call Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Free consultation
Foreclosure – Free consultation
In Texas, mortgage loans must typically be 120 days delinquent before a lender can start the foreclosure process. However there are exceptions, such as for some small lenders, which allow the process to begin even if you are only one day late with payment. The process can be completed in as little as 45 days. Mortgage lenders typically may foreclose using a non-judicial foreclosure process (i.e. no court order required). However, the government must obtain a court order to foreclose for unpaid taxes. The are very specific steps and notice requirements the lender must follow to successfully foreclose on your property. If you are facing foreclosure, there are many opportunities to stop or force a delay of the process. It is highly recommended you obtain legal counsel. Contact Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or by email at email@example.com to schedule a free consultation.
Free consultation
Home Construction Contracts: Drafting-$350, Document Review-$150
Don't let your dream home become a nightmare! If you considering hiring a contractor to build your your new dream house then it is essential that you have an attorney experienced in the building process to draft or review the legal documents. There are many potential issues and areas of potential conflict that can arise during the construction process. What is the scope of the work? What grade of materials will be used? What are the construction timelines? Payment schedule? Warranties? These and many other issues should be clearly spelled out in a comprehensive, well-written contract. Managing expectations is the key to successfully avoiding unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings which too often turn into litigation. For assistance with your home construction contract, call Attorney Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or email email@example.com.
Drafting - $350, Document Review - $150
Court Documents – Pro Se Petitions, Answers and Motions
If you have been sued, or considering a lawsuit against another party, it is your right to represent yourself as a "Pro Se" party. Drafting court documents and following court procedure are the biggest challenges for Pro Se litigants. Most lawsuits never get to a court room but are negotiated and decided through the drafting and filing of court documents such as petition, the answer, and motions and orders. There are specific drafting and procedural requirements for court documents. As well, it is critical that the court documents specify the specific legal causes of action and damages sought or you run the risk of waiving the right to claim them. For assistance in the formulation and drafting of legal court documents for Pro Se representation, contact Andrew Bernick at 512-763-5370 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Science fiction and fantasy
Wrath of the Titans
directed by Jonathan Liebesman
Perseus, being an all-round hero and deathly-dull good egg, sets out to save the world and defeat the Titans, even if it means travelling into Tartarus. As you might imagine, the story departs quite a lot from the established Greek myths at this point. On his journey Perseus teams up with Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), and the demigod Agenor (Toby Kebbell). Agenor, who also goes by The Navigator, is a rogue and a thief, apparently, as well as the son of Poseidon. I assume he's there for comic relief, because that's the tone of his dialogue. But his character is a bit flat, and not very amusing, although this has more to do with the script than Toby Kebbell's acting.
They also encounter Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), the tool-making god, who the heroes approach in the hope of some assistance with getting magical godly tools. I don't know whether he's supposed to be like some eccentric old professor, or maybe the gods' version of Q. But like Agenor, his character is uninspiring.
I don't remember the first time I saw a movie featuring a big puzzle made out of moving stone blocks. Perhaps it was in Indiana Jones, or Labyrinth? Whichever it was, it's a pretty worn-out image already. But this is a movie that crams in every fantastic beast it can get away with, and every hackneyed situation. No dangling woodland man-trap is left unsprung, no heavy stone door is not squeezed through at the last minute before everyone gets crushed, no lava-bottomed precipice remains unfought-over. This is not a romantic film. It's largely a film of sweaty men fighting and enormous monsters monstering, and there's no hint of a relationship brewing between the recently-bereaved Perseus and anyone else. The least suggestion of sexual tension is definitely not included. But the obligatory facemash at the end of the movie, as mandated by the Hollywood playbook, is in there nonetheless.
Mainly, however, this is a movie of flashes and bangs. Some of the gods talk briefly about their jealousies, and whether mortals are any good or not, and forgiveness. But all Kronos can manage is some incomprehensible grunting. There's a surfeit of fighting, and monsters, and explosions, but Wrath of the Titans is very thin. Screenwriters Dan Mazeau and David Leslie Johnson seem to have been aiming this at an audience who only care about action and spectacle, and for whom the story is irrelevant.

Brand: Habitat for Humanity Brazil
Agencies: BETC São Paulo, Havas
Brazilians live in a climate of nearly constant rain. Most of the nation averages over 50 inches of rain per year, while some areas see over 120 inches. This leaves many communities struggling with an overabundance of standing water. These spaces provide ample breeding ground for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — the carriers of numerous deadly diseases, such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever and chikungunya.
Brazil's favelas (slums) — some of the largest in Latin America — are the most affected by these fatal diseases. These are the poorest regions of one of the most economically unequal countries in the world, with the top 10 percent of its population earning a full half of the national income. Residents' impoverished state, combined with the communities' informal and ramshackle nature, hinders access to medical care and signifies near-nonexistent drainage and roadway infrastructure. Favela residents (moradores de favela) also suffer from significant discrimination, drug activity and violence. How do you make individuals aware of and transform their unconscious behavior to protect the nation's poorest citizens from an invisible killer?
Key insight
Transform a home into a death trap.
BETC São Paulo and Havas worked with Habitat for Humanity Brazil to develop "The Dissolving Poster," an educational poster that dissolves into larvicide when wet. Each poster transforms 200 mL of standing water into a mosquito death trap for 60 days, using a combination of BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) larvicide powder, organic glue and soluble rice paper sheets. They are safe for the environment, animals and people, and if there's no rain — a rarity in the country — each poster remains active for a maximum of two years.
The agencies partnered with local artists to produce and distribute the posters to Habitat communities in need. The posters highlight either the diseases they prevent or provide educational instructions to fight against mosquitoes, using mantras like:
Stay tuned: Put sand in the plates, under the plants.
Rain down, covers up: water tank, barrels, garbage bins
Don't hesitate. Always keep empty water bottles upside down.
The organization maintains projects in over 70 countries and sees this as a workable solution for programs around the world. "The Dissolving Poster" served as one of Habitat for Humanity's top-performing social posts, with over 500 shares and tens of thousands of views.
BETC and Havas received a bronze Cannes Lion in the Health & Wellness category during the first day of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for this work. Brazil received the first four awards of the festival, with more to come: Brazilian agencies received a number of category awards, and 'Tagwords' for Budweiser and the Corruption Detector for Reclame Aqui earned the country Grand Prixs. This continued success throughout the week — combined with a widespread and controversial industry PSA — kept Brazil top of mind during the event.
What they said:
"We are talking about a simple, accessible solution to a very important part of the problem, which is to avoid the hatching of Aedes aegypti. This transforms rainwater into a deadly trap for mosquitoes," said Rodrigo Perez, one of the researchers tasked with the project.
Lessons to be learned:
- Make it happen. — An awareness campaign can work wonders, but as other award-winning campaigns, like Savlon Healthy Hands Chalk Sticks, demonstrate, actionable efforts can do even more to create change. Don't just talk about what you want to do — do it. Taking the first step demonstrates brands' firm and sincere commitment to the causes they purport and often serves to initiate the desired transformation in behavior when organizations rely on action for success.
- Promote purpose over cause. — In a world of corporate social responsibility and scrutiny over brand values, brands need to understand the difference between rallying behind a cause and standing for a purpose: Cause marketing is, for the most part, against something. Purpose, on the other hand, tends to lean into support for something. Cause marketing historically relies on corporate giving, whereas for many up-and-coming companies today, purpose lies at the heart of their business models. According to the World Value Index, those brands that resonate most with consumers on a value-based platform reflect a fundamental attitude, a profound reason for being and a positive change that they want to see in the world.


text: kountryboy091683 1 Report post Posted November 6, 2016 I've got a theory when it comes to the United States of America and this drugs they call "controlled substances." They are called controlled because they, (the U.S. Government), are the ones that control the amounts that flow into the country. They give these drug lords money indirectly, say to a politically involved or government official family member of theirs, to keep laws it that country directed away from them so as the processing of and importation of the drugs are operated smoothly. Once in this country the distribute the and instantly make double the money back. After they distribute them the unleash the "War on Drugs" soldiers, a.k.a - D.E.A., Narcotics Task Force, Police, Military Personnel, and anyone else they can deploy to arrest and detain us for the possession of these drugs where once we are caught up in the criminal justice system they take and make our money from fighting the cases or them ultimately keeping us behind bars upon conviction for these cases. So my question is, since they are in control of it all shouldn't they at least give us something stating what they must find in the drugs to reinforce the fact that what they have found is what they say it is? Every court should have a breakdown of what is to be found within these drugs they say are illegal so as we are to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the arresting offense is justified. The thing is though that every time I start looking for this I am referred to the next book or another chapter and can't ever just have something plainly explain to me what or how much of what has to be present. Can anyone tell me what chemicals and/or chemical compounds must be present in a labs finding of meth, cocaine, LSD, or anything else they consider a controlled substance in the state of Texas, as well as the total amounts of those chemicals that must be present for them to be assumed that's what it was? Also how often does a substance go to a state funded lab and not come back as what they believe it to be? Can I send it out to a lab of my choice to be tested? I was recently set up by an individual who planted some drugs in my vehicle and I am trying to find every out or try anything before this trial happens because I am not guilty of these charges. Whether or not I use to be involved in distribution or usage of controlled substances shouldn't justify the law enforcement agencies setting me up to be charged for it after I had stopped months before. Sorry you were unable to fulfill your duties while I was but when someone is trying to straighten their life up and is down because they have already lost everything they know and love, you shouldn't kick them because you may awaken a beast within!

Happy (?) Trinity Day
I admit to a certain morbid fascination with the Trinity test and the entire Manhattan Project preceding it, though I'm kinda sorta ashamed to admit this. I suppose it's my inner 12-yr. old's obsession with things-that-go-boom and my adult realization that everything, absolutely everything in the world, changed at approximately 5:30 a. m. New Mexico time, July 16, 1945.
For my own amusement (and yours, too, perhaps) I scoured the web and storyboarded the following images:
Those singularly weird-ass pictures (3, 4, 5, and 6) were taken by Harold Edgerton with a series of automatic cameras situated 7 miles from the blast--shutter speed was the equivalent of 1/100,000,000 sec.
I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

Totally awesome! I have always been attracted and repelled by this subject. The total might (as shown cinematically) and the total destruction (in its long term effects) has always been of interest. I know that Oppenheimer sent the rest of his life "repenting" for his part, but it has proved such useful fodder for our society. I think that I got most of my exposure to the subject, early on, from "The Brain from Planet Arous(e)" with it stock footage from Operation Cue (1955)and lo and behold, the subject is still viable in the most recent Indiana Jones film.

I think The Manhattan Project, Los Alamos, and the Trinity Test all became integral parts of the Baby Boomer collective conscious. From fallout survival pamphlets in elementary school to "Duck and Cover," to the shelter sign on the post office wall (whatever happened to that?) we had the possibility of atomic/nuclear warfare hammered into us so hard that it was only natural we should develop a love/hate relationship with the subject.

Well, let me tell you. The basement of the Wboro PO (which was once equipped for Nuclear, or Nuke-ular defense, depending on your political stance,) has nothing for you. There are still civil defense emblems there but there is nothing there to sustain you there. Even the toilets have been taken out (a sure sign). Lots'a hallways and empty rooms covered in a patina of dampness and darkness. We're in a flood zone anyhoo! Wouldn't that have been sweet!

Drink up
Surely you know that drinking enough water is important, and that if you're sick or sweating a lot you might want to take an electrolyte replacement. But did you know that mild dehydration can have noticeable implications to how you feel? You may be experiencing mild dehydration if you don't drink enough water each day, you drink too much caffeine, or you don't eat enough fruits and vegetables (they're packed with water!). This may even be a chronic problem for you, so you may not even realize that some of your day to day symptoms are related to it. Here are a few things you may notice related to even mild dehydration:
Fatigue or lack of vigor
Mood changes (here's a research article on this topic)
Cognitive or memory changes
Difficulty concentrating or focusing
Dry skin
Increased pain
Muscle cramps
Worst case scenario, mild chronic dehydration can also be a contributing factor to urinary tract infections and kidney stones. Yikes!
So be kind to yourself! Drink plenty of clean filtered water, ideally free of chlorine. It really does make everything better. How much do you need? According to the Mayo Clinic, about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids for men and about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. Here's an article on the topic if you're interested: Water: How much should you drink every day?

DESCRIPTION: The author has meticulously researched the important and exciting naval events in the opening stages of WWII. The result is an excellent review of the events, supported by an outstanding selection of photographs, charts and appendices.
Scandinavian neutrality did not protect Denmark and Norway from Hitler's plans to dominate Europe and expand into Russia. Only Sweden avoided being invaded and this was primarily because a neutral Sweden, friendly to Germany, was of more value than another subjugated country that required garrisons, reducing the number of German troops, ships and aircraft available for the main objectives of invading Britain and Russia. Having taken Denmark and Norway, Germany held effective control of the Baltic.
For the Royal Navy, the 'phoney war' was a very real conflict. A Fleet Air Arm Skua dive bomber was the first British aircraft to shoot down a German aircraft in the war, protection of convoys became a war of attrition with German submarines and aircraft, and German commerce raiders were already at sea or on station before the outbreak of war. Equally, the Royal Navy was on a war footing well in advance of hostilities, having conducted extensive exercises, mobilization of reserves, and return to full capability of reserve fleet ships. To support this capability, fuel stocks and spares had also been built up at strategic locations around the world, ready to refuel, rearm and repair British warships should hostilities result from German expansion attempts.
Three British cruisers, heavily outgunned by the German pocket battleship Graf Spee, brought their enemy to battle and sent it running for cover in Montevideo. After a successful war of nerves by the British, the Graf Spee was scuttled by her captain. However, her supply ship the Altmark was running for home with a cargo of British merchant seaman who had been taken prisoner in the actions by the Graf Spee against merchant shipping. The RN tracked the Altmark down as she made her way along the Norwegian coast. When she took shelter in a fjord, British destroyers went in after her and freed the captives. It has always been a point of debate as to how far the neutral Norwegians turned a blind eye to this British action.
When Hitler was ready to launch an invasion of Norway, there was very little to stop him. The British did put troops and aircraft into Norway and succeeded in sinking German warships, but the support was too little and too late, with the Germans catching the old carrier Courageous on her way home without escort and sinking her.
The author has a strong interest in how the war affected his native Norway and provides some new insights, but he has ranged much further, reviewing the part played in the early stages of war by German surface raiders and the developing U-Boat battle in the Atlantic. He has also covered the warfare in the North Sea and German Bight.
The quality of research, the selection of illustrations and the fresh insights into the early stages of naval warfare, make this a definitive work on the subject that will be an essential to any self respecting library covering naval warfare and the Second World War.
The book covers aspects of the naval war that have previously received less attention than they deserve. The period was one of hard fought actions and the development by both sides of the tactics they would employ through the duration of the war. The author is to be commended for the book in general, but particularly for the photographic selection that includes subjects rarely covered in other books. He has successfully filled the gap in the accounts of the opening stages of war as they led inevitably to the invasion and conquest of neutral Norway by the Germans and the establishment of German control from North Cape down to the Low Countries that was then to be extended down to the Spanish border with the invasion of France.
It is perhaps understandable that British authors have been more interested in the Battle of the Atlantic, the protection of sea routes to Empire and the evacuation of British and French troops from Dunkirk, before then moving on to the Mediterranean and the conflict East of Aden. However, the naval war in the North Sea and in Norwegian waters was not only important in its own right, but also critical to the establishment of tactics and technologies for the containment and defeat of the German Navy.

Public officials in northern Caroline Country broke ground Thursday on a $19 million sewage treatment plant that will both replace the antiquated plant in Greensboro as well as connect the homes in nearby Goldsboro, nearly all of which are on failing septic systems.
The new system will reduce the nitrogen that flows into the Choptank River from the two towns by 83 percent and the phosphorus by about 90 percent. The improvement is especially important because the plant sits at the headwaters of the Choptank, and data show that the loads to the river are far greater upstream than where the river meets the Chesapeake.
The first phase of the project, to construct the new wastewater plant in Greensboro, began in July. The last phase, which involves connecting Goldsboro's 100 homes into the plant, will happen in 2018.
The new plant's connection to Goldsboro brings to a close more than 20 years of attempting to find a solution for the failing septic systems in this northern Caroline County town.
Maryland has spent more than a decade and millions of dollars upgrading the state's largest wastewater treatment plants, it has only recently tackled large-scale septic problems and the smaller wastewater plants in rural towns. These are more difficult, environmental officials said, because the hook ups cost millions of dollars and help a relatively small number of people, whereas adjustments to a big city's or larger town's system cost far less per person to hook up.
Getting the funding to solve the wastewater woes of this relatively poor and rural pocket of the state along the Delaware border has taken so long that several of the people in office when the effort began are no longer serving in local government. Indeed, two have died: former Denton Mayor Brad Horsey, who once hoped he might connect several northern towns to Denton's treatment plant through a pipe under the Choptank; and former President of the Caroline County Commission Jack Cole, who worked tirelessly on the issue since his 1996 election to make sure any plan that helped Goldsboro also addressed the other northern towns' woes. Cole died in 2013; Horsey in 2007.
"There are many people who doubted this day would ever come," said Dave Kibler, director of Greensboro's department of public works, "and to be honest, I was one of them."
The arrangement is somewhat original, and Maryland Department of the Environment Senior Policy Advisor Lynn Y. Buhl said that she hoped to use it as a model for cooperation in other areas that might have to tackle these issues. While the Greensboro plant is 50 years old and frequently overwhelmed by storms, the towns of Goldsboro, Marydel, Henderson and Templeville have no treatment at all.
In Goldsboro, the wastewater flowed into the town's ditches, which eventually reached the Choptank River. But first, the water entered Lake Bonnie, a man-made recreational lake on a popular campsite that was forced by the Caroline County Health Department to close in 1996 because of pollution.
For more than a decade, county commissioners and local mayors have tried to incorporate a solution that would also address the septic woes of Henderson, Marydel and Templeville. Each of those towns has about 100 residents; in Marydel, residents on one side of the street live in Maryland; residents on the other side live in Delaware. Like Goldsboro, the mayors in these towns are volunteers, the budgets are small, and the residents are far from wealthy. All previous solutions would have required billing the residents far more than they could have afforded.
Officials are hoping the three towns will hook into the system, but decided to go ahead with the building for Greensboro and Goldsboro and work to fund the hooking up of these towns as the project proceeds.
Goldsboro's need for a sewer hookup was dire. The MDE placed Goldsboro under a consent order in 1996 because of its failing septics were polluting Lake Bonnie and the Choptank. The town was to have incurred daily fines if it didn't build a sewage system. But MDE attorney Steve Johnson said the state never attempted to collect the fines, and called the order unenforceable. If the town couldn't pay for a new plant, he reasoned, how could it pay fines?
At the groundbreaking, public officials praised each other for helping to acquire the funds — and acknowledged the support of Greensboro residents who will see a jump in their bills. Funding the project are the residents and the MDE, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Greensboro Mayor Joe Noon said that residents' bills will rise from about $206.75 a quarter to $270 within a year.
In other towns in the Chesapeake watershed, people have been less understanding. Residents of Woodstock, in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, voted out their entire town council when the bills came due for the town's $31 million wastewater treatment plant and local bills tripled. But, Noon said, local residents "understand." One reason may be their affection for the Choptank's headwater streams, which draw fishermen from Pennsylvania and beyond for the white perch, herring and shad runs.
One person who wasn't on the official program and who didn't share the optimism was Caroline County Commissioner Wilbur Levengood.
"The first time I heard about Goldsboro's problems, I was 14. I'm 60 now," he said. "Fixing it has been a commitment since I've been a commissioner."
Levengood was elected in 2010. A lifelong farmer, he was a 35-year county employee, and grew up swimming and fishing in Lake Bonnie. He remembers all of the failed plans to fix the problem. There was the vote in the 1980s not to accept a new plant, even though the federal government would have paid most of the costs; Horsey's idea of the under-the-Choptank hookup; the former mayor of Goldsboro's plan to allow 500 homes to be built to fix the problem; the vociferous opposition by Cole to those new homes because the sewage solution wouldn't include Henderson, Templeville and Marydel.
"It's a project that should have been done at least 20 years ago. But the governments weren't willing to come together and make it happen. And that's what made the difference," Levengood said. "(In Goldsboro) you have 300 citizens. How on earth are you going to get them to come up with $19 million?"

But first, let's take a look at the two hours of material that led up to Lee's victory.
The show really changed gears after the Alice Cooper performance and last season's good guy winner Kris Allen came out to sing. The sound kind of screwed up for Kris' performance and we could still hear Ryan's mic in the beginning, but it was a decent performance. He's got a pretty catchy tune on the radio right now and I would have preferred to hear that.
We got to watch a pretty funny montage about Simon Cowell and how "kind" he is, and then we were treated to an Aaron Kelly and Siobhan Magnus duet. That was like pairing a mouse with a howler money, but luckily it was quickly over and the remaining two BeeGees came out. I love the BeeGees, but one was really fat with long, gross hair and the other was like a skeleton in a suit. I love the BeeGees (and I'm proud to say it!) but they kind of freaked me out.
The BeeGees performance was good, but I didn't like the pairing of Siobhan and Aaron. However, I really enjoyed Big Mike's performance with the Doobie Brothers' Michael MacDonald. It was a fun song, and luckily for everyone Big Mike didn't lift up Michael MacDonald at the end.
Next up was a song by Dane Cook, who I love, featuring all of Simon Cowell's best barbs over the years. It was pretty charming, up until all the famous rejects came out to jump around. Then he got Kanye'd at the end (seriously, he confirmed that on Twitter) and some crazy guy grabbed the mic from him. That's what happens when you put people like that in the spotlight, American Idol producers!
I loved the Idol ladies' medley of Christina Aguilera songs, but Christina's performance itself was a bit of a downer. Look, I love her. Like, really, really love her. But that was not her best performance, and it was a weird song choice for the Idol finale. Also, it was really the kind of song one should be wearing pants for. Luckily, Ricky Gervais brought the mood back up with a witty farewell to Simon. He informed us that Simon has helped many people achieve their dreams and "he only takes 80% of their wages" and that he's so rich he actually throws away money. You know, when it gets too wrinkled.
Lee came out to open a little Hall & Oates ditty, which really got my mom excited. As she said, this was like the 1970s dream episode. He was joined by all the Idol dudes for the medley. I always get a kick out of how incredibly awkward Casey looks during group numbers, and how incredibly in his element Big Mike is – he can really ham it up during these numbers! The boys welcomed Hall & Oates to the stage and it was a pretty good performance.
Crystal came out to sing "Ironic" and it was a great performance – although I was surprised she could manage to sing in that crazy-tight/ugly corset. Then Alanis Morissette (!) came out to sing "You Oughta Know" with Crystal. It was a great pairing and the ladies looked like they were having a blast, but that was kind of the problem. "You Oughta Know" isn't really the kind of song one sings with a smile on one's face. I wished they'd chosen a less angsty song for them to sing.
Next up was one of my all-time favorite Idol winners, Carrie Underwood. A highlight of the night for me, since I love her and have loved "Undo It" since I bought the CD. I saw Carrie live a couple years ago and she sounded EXACTLY like her albums and she definitely wasn't lip-syncing. She sounded and looked great. Also, how fab was the violin player in the top hat? If you're going to be in the background on American Idol, you might as well rock it.
Crystal and Lee both got their personalized Ford Fiestas, and I was jealous. I used to want personalized Chuck Taylor sneakers, but now I want to design my own car.
My favorite duet of the night was Casey James and Bret Michaels. I wasn't sure what Casey was singing at first, but as soon as he got to the chorus I knew – my Celebrity Apprentice favorite Bret Michaels was coming out! Did anyone else kind of cross their fingers the whole time that Bret wouldn't have a stroke onstage? I'm worried he's pushing himself for a guy who's had more than one recent brush with death. But it was a really fun, entertaining performance.
Lee performed a medley of hits with the band Chicago. I'm not a huge fan, of the band but I was surprised at how many songs I knew. And my mom, of course, was enjoying the addition to her 1970s dream concert. Chicago doesn't have their original lead singer anymore, and Lee sang their vocalists under the table. Even so, it was great to see Lee surrounded by such a great band. The nerves he experienced on Tuesday night were nowhere to be found.
After another Simon tribute video, there was a choreographed performance of that classic Idol tune "Pants on the Ground". It was all going swimmingly – an old man doing James Brown era dance moves, lots of fools with their pants on the ground – and then the unthinkable happened: William Hung joined him on stage. What will it take to get rid of this loser? It's ridiculous! I didn't want to see him singing that Ricky Martin song and I don't want to see him singing my precious "Pants on the Ground".
After yet another video tribute to the relationship between Paula and Simon, Paula came out on stage for a bit of awkward Simon-related stand-up comedy. Oh, loopy, drug-addled Paula. How we've missed you.
The Idol winners' tribute to Simon, which I knew was coming, was really cool. I was sad that David Cook was missing, though. Then to see all those Idol alums come out was kind of mind blowing. I was shouting names out left and right. Say what you want about reality television, but American Idol has introduced some tremendous talent over the years.
The whole Janet Jackson thing was the worst part of the evening for me. I've never been a huge fan of Janet, and it kind of sounded like she was lip-syncing to Michael's voice. Then the catsuit she had on for the dance number was so distracting that I couldn't pay attention to the rest of the performance. I was worried she'd experience another boob-gate.
Watching Lee and Crystal's "journeys" made me root for Lee that much more. I think Crystal is fantastic, but I just love Lee and I thought it seemed like he really wanted it more. But watching the two finalists perform one of my favorite songs, "I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends" I was blown away. They truly both deserved the win, and I would have been happy either way. It was an outstanding performance, made even better by the fact that Joe Cocker was there. In a really funky jacket.
Finally, it was time for The Moment – who would win? Even though Crystal clearly had a better night on Tuesday night, I felt in my heart that it was Lee's to win and was hoping America had agreed. Seacrest paraded out the stiff with the results envelope – he was British this time – and Seacrest called for the lights to be dimmed. As I watched Lee get all pale and sweaty, as though he was about to throw up, I really wanted him to win. He just wanted it more, it meant more to him.
And he got it.
It was really touching to see Lee's reaction. It obviously meant a lot to him, he worked hard for it and he deserved it. And I have a feeling Crystal will be just fine.
So that's a wrap, folks! It wasn't my favorite season, but it picked up toward the end and the finale wasn't half bad. What did you think?

This video shows potential customers how they can spend 10x more than they would for competing products in order to buy something that is actually more challenging to use. Then again he is talking about a Leica - the only brand other than Apple I ever heard Steve Jobs mention at an Apple keynote presentation.
This point is also picked up in the following news article:
So some references then, to the hedonic benefits that customers can derive from this brand, and there are some more after this video.
I think the following comments from a review of the camera on DigitalSpy give some indication of its hedonic attributes:
Going back to the comparison with Apple, DPreview.com had this to say about the Leica T (which is made from a single block of aluminium), 'This, you can't help but feel, is the kind of camera that Apple might make, if it were so inclined.' http://www.dpreview.com/previews/leica-t-typ701

Designer Protein – Rebrand
In early 2016, Designer Protein's Creative Director and I collaborated to overhaul the label design of the products and unite the look of the seven sub brands. Key goals included increasing readability of product names on shelf, color coding the sub brands for easy recognition and increasing the size of product callouts.
Once the front design of the vanilla flavor of each label was established, it was my job to layout out the back and nutritional panel and then reproduce the labels for all other flavors and sizes.

If they are too ill to remain at school or if hospital treatment is necessary then parents/carers will be contacted to make suitable arrangements. This is why it is so important we have up to date emergency contact numbers and at least two. Under no circumstances should they leave the school, contact their parents/carers themselves on a mobile or go home without permission.

The school will keep prescription medications securely on the relevant site and named staff have access to this storage. A record is kept, and countersigned, of all medicines administered.
- Non-prescription medicines: non-prescription medicines (over the counter medicines) do not require any written consent from a doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist or other healthcare professional to allow school staff to administer them. However, schools can only administer non-prescription medicines where written permission for that particular medicine has been obtained from the student's parent/carer (see form 2). Prior to administering the non-prescription medication, we will contact the parents/carers to ensure they are aware. A stock of non-prescription medicines (ibuprofen or paracetamol) will be kept securely on both sites. Students are not allowed to carry their own non-prescription medicines and must not bring them into school.
For further details on our policy for managing medication please see the 'Managing Medicines in schools and early years setting' booklet held in the Medical Rooms.

The 'Contact' section of our website gives comprehensive guidance on which member of staff it is appropriate to contact for each area of school life.

Together, USF Holland and Orion analyzed not only the energy savings from upgrading to new fixtures, but also determined which terminals to target and the right mix of products to use to maximize Holland's return on investment. Rowe selected Detroit for the first project, and Holland officers immediately gave positive feedback on the new lighting. Eleven terminals have now been upgraded to Orion lighting, featuring a combination of LED Troffer Retrofit fixtures for commercial offices, enclosed fixtures on docks, plus APOLLO® and ISON™ LED Exterior fixtures and controls."Before Orion, many of our sites had metal halide and high pressure sodium fixtures that made everything look dingy and yellow." continued Rowe. "We have had a transformation in safety and morale since the Orion installation. The improvement of the overall quality and illumination of the docks and offices really brightened up the place. Our people comment on how it feels like we are bringing more natural light into the warehouses." In addition to the lighting retrofit projects, USF Holland also constructed a new 48,790 square-foot terminal on 23 acres in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where a combination of Orion LED and fluorescent fixtures were installed throughout the 110 dock door facility and an additional 16,000 square-foot maintenance building. About Holland Holland has long been recognized for delivering the most next-day service lanes in its territory and annually records one of the lowest claim ratios in the industry. Founded in Holland, Mich., in 1929, Holland provides industry leading, on-time reliability for less-than-truckload shipments in the central and southeastern United States and in eastern Canada. Holland, recognized by Logistics Management magazine with its 2012 Quest for Quality award for 27 consecutive years, was honored for performance excellence in 2012 in the Midwest/North Central Regional LTL Carriers and Expedited Motor Carriers categories. For more information, visit hollandregional.com. Holland is a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide. About Orion Energy Systems Orion is leading the transformation of commercial and industrial buildings with state-of-the-art energy efficient lighting systems and retrofit lighting solutions. Orion manufactures and markets a cutting edge portfolio of products encompassing LED Solid-State Lighting and high intensity fluorescent lighting. Many of Orion's 100+ granted patents and pending patent applications relate to lighting systems that provide exceptional optical and thermal performance, which drive financial, environmental, and work-space benefits for a wide variety of customers in the retrofit markets.
When USF Holland sought more energy-efficient lighting for its 53 terminals, it chose Orion Energy Systems , Inc. (NASDAQ:OESX), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance, energy-efficient retrofit lighting platforms. The partnership with USF Holland solidifies Orion's position as the leading expert in lighting solutions for the freight industry, having delivered improvements in safety, productivity and energy savings for 10 of the top 15 largest firms. USF Holland Properties Manager Adam Rowe had previously selected Orion fixtures for several retrofit projects while employed at another national freight carrier. Given the strong return on investment, superior light quality and excellent customer service he experienced on those projects, Rowe again sought out Orion in his new role at USF Holland, the nation's largest regional freight carrier operating in 15 Midwestern states. "When I joined Holland, I definitely saw the opportunity in our facilities that we could easily have a great return, not only in saving money, but also ensuring the safety of our employees and doing our part for the environment. We all need lights, so why not put the highest-efficiency lights in your facility? At USF Holland, that means Orion," said Adam Rowe, Properties Manager, USF Holland. To date, USF Holland has completed lighting upgrade projects at a dozen terminal sites. In just a few months, the trucking and logistics firm reduced its energy consumption by more than 30 percent and estimates it will save at least $330,000 annually. "Our partnership with USF Holland is a great example of how Orion's deep knowledge of the freight industry influences product designed specifically for these types of transportation environments, as well as shipping and staging to maximize ROI - in this case one third of a million dollars of energy savings already reinvested back into the business," said John Scribante, Chief Executive Officer, Orion Energy Systems. "Orion has earned a reputation in the freight industry for fast delivery and responsive, reliable service, and that track record makes us a great match for these companies who share the same expectations from their own customers. We look forward to continuing our partnership to take more cost out of these buildings, and at the same time provide improvements in energy savings, safety and productivity which will serve the company and its employees for many years to come."
