Green Swamp (North Carolina)

The Green Swamp is a swamp that lies in Brunswick and Columbus counties in North Carolina. The 15,907-acre (6,437 ha) swamp was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974. Today, the Nature Conservancy manages a total of 17,424 acres (7051 ha) of the swamp as the Green Swamp Preserve. The carnivorous plant known as the Venus flytrap is found within this swamp, and it is important for other unique and endangered species. North Carolina laws prohibit the removal of these plants from their habitat. The wetlands support a rich ecology and are important as habitat along the Atlantic Flyway of migrating birds and other species. Carnivorous plants The North Carolina Green Swamp is home to many types of carnivorous plant due to its unique habitat. The wet longleaf pine savannah provides damp, nutrient-poor soil and open understory; these factors make it an ideal habitat for carnivorous plants. These plants get their nutrients by trapping insects and then using specialized leaves and enzymes to absorb the nutrients from the insects they capture. Notable carnivorous plants include: Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula): A species endemic to a small radius surrounding Wilmington, North Carolina; one of its largest wild populations in the Green Swamp. Pitcher plant: A few species, including the yellow pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava), and the purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea). Pinguicula (butterworts): Yellow butterwort (Pinguicula lutea), and blue butterwort (Pinguicula caerulea) are found in the swamp. These have sticky leaves that trap insects. Bladderworts: Eastern purple bladderwort (Utricularia purpurea) and the slender bladderwort (Utricularia subulata) are another type of carnivorous plant present in the area. Have a sweet sticky glad on their leaves that attracts then traps insects. Drosera (sundews): The Green Swamp is home to many different species: Drawf Sundew (Drosera brevifolia), Pink Sundew (Drosera capillaris), and Thread-leaved Sundew (Drosera filiformis). Have sticky tentacles that have a sweet smell that draws insects close enough for the plant to trap them.

It was established as a Math, Science, and Technology school in 1992, and added an International Baccalaureate to its program in 1995. The motto of the school has changed several times. It is currently: "Where Every Student Matters." History Named after former superintendent Harry Patrick Harding (1874–1959), the school opened in the fall of 1935 under the name Harry P. Harding High School. The school moved to its current location on Alleghany Street in 1961. The school name changed to Harding University High School in 1992. The Dorothy Counts Controversy Dorothy Counts was the first black student admitted to the Harry P. Harding High School in 1957. She was one of the four black students enrolled at various all-white schools in the district for the first time in American history. After four days of massive harassment that threatened her safety, her parents forced her to withdraw from the school. Band of Gold The Harding University High School Band of Gold, led by director Anthony Jones, made national coverage in January 2009 for their invitation to the 56th Inaugural Parade of President Barack Obama. Harding's was the only band chosen from North Carolina to march in the parade.

Supporters across North Carolina made contributions to the band including Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith, who donated $25,000. Anthony S. Jones ended his twenty-year tenure as Director of Bands in 2015, moving on to serve as Director of Bands at Livingstone College.

Harvey Point

Harvey Point (talvolta chiamato anche Harvey Point Defense Testing Activity) è un'installazione militare top secret della CIA di proprietà del Dipartimento della Difesa statunitense situato in una penisola a Perquimans County, nella Carolina del Nord, vicino alla città di Hertford. La base, inaugurata nel 1942 durante la seconda guerra mondiale allo scopo di sorvegliare la East Coast, ospita alcuni dipartimenti appartenenti dell'ATF, della CIA, dell'FBI e della Marina degli Stati Uniti. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale Harvey Point è stato utilizzato come base per gli idrovolanti e, dopo la guerra, la struttura viene anche utilizzata dalla CIA per monitorare dei corsi speciali di addestramento antiterrorismo, motivo per cui la base è stata chiusa al pubblico. Nell'aprile 2011 la base è stata poi utilizzata dal DEVGRU dei Navy SEALs per il corso di addestramento in preparazione per l'Operazione Lancia di Nettuno, la cui missione fu approvata il 1º maggio per catturare o uccidere il leader di Al-Qāʿida Osama bin Laden.

Hatch Auditorium

Hatch Auditorium is a facility of the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell. The auditorium is situated next to the old Fort Caswell and faces the parade ground. Construction of the auditorium was made possible by a gift from Rachel E. Hatch upon her death in October 1966. Her estate, which included 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) in Duplin County, was valued at $200,000. Hatch was an Episcopalian who is quoted as saying, "The Baptists have their hand on the pulse of humanity and seek to touch the needs of the people." Ground was broken in the fall of 1967, and the auditorium was dedicated on July 17, 1968, with a trumpet fanfare and singing. Total cost of the auditorium was $400,000. Layout The auditorium consists of the main floor, an upstairs and downstairs front lobby, a balcony, and two classrooms behind the stage. In the original building, two rooms opposite each other in the upstairs lobby served as a kitchen and sitting room. Those rooms now serve as utility and storage. The main floor and balcony accommodate approximately 1,000 people in pew seating. To the rear and center of the balcony there is a sound booth with an excellent view of the stage. The stage itself is surprisingly large and it is currently rumored that it may be shortened in an effort to add more seating. The classrooms are known as "Hatch A," located just behind stage left, and "Hatch B" which is behind stage right. To each side of the stage there are double doors leading into side exit lobby areas. These lobbies also have the entrances to the classrooms and directly to the stage itself. The downstairs lobby of Hatch has two of the auditorium's restrooms (the other two are located in the rear hallway which connects the two classrooms) and they face each other on the left and right sides next to the entrances to the main floor. On the wall between the entrances hangs a portrait of Rachel Hatch. Features The exterior of the building was originally designed to reflect its wooden interior and was brown. It wasn't until the campus was completely standardized to its now familiar blue/gray tones that Hatch was repainted. The front upstairs and downstairs lobbies are, essentially, one room with two staircases leading up. One of the most remarkable features of the building is its glass facade which stretches over both floors. Inside the auditorium itself, the rafters are painted brown and wood is the dominante design texture. The curved back wall of the auditorium features an intricate pattern of small beams which also work to disguise the built in organ speakers. These speakers appear to be a part of the wall itself. Also the back wall there is a large, brass cross mounted high above the stage. The facility was recently (2006) upgraded in the sound and lights department with over 20 new lights mounted, a new lightboard, a new speaker system, and a digital soundboard.
