# North Carolina State Defense Militia
## World War II

The North Carolina State Guard was officially established as a state defense force on 27 February 1941 when the North Carolina National Guard was mobilized into federal service during World War II. The State Guard actually began organizing in early February with the appointment of officers, and the mustered strength reached a high of 2,128 by 1944. With the return of the National Guard, units began being inactivated in 1946, and the State Guard was completely disbanded by July 1947.

## Reactivation

The North Carolina State Defense Militia (NCSDM) was reactivated by North Carolina Governor James G. Martin in February 1988.
The NC State Defense Militia operated under Chapter 127A of the North Carolina General Statutes, and as such, is a distinct unit from the NC National Guard.
The NCSDM participated in operations for Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and members filled in for National Guard troops while they were deployed for the Persian Gulf War in 1990–91. Other actions were during coastal storms and an outbreak of tornadoes in King, North Carolina.
Due to the temporary suspension in 1996, the NCSDM was never officially re-activated by the North Carolina governors elected since April 1996.

## Authority

Joint Resolution 987 of the North Carolina General Assembly ratified 27 June 1995 honored the efforts and assistance of the members of the NCSDM and expressed appreciation for the service that the members rendered to their respective communities, counties, and to the State of North Carolina.

## Temporary Suspension

Activities of the NCSDM were temporarily suspended in April 1996 by the North Carolina Adjutant General. This suspension was due to a workers' compensation claim, and a review of the workers' compensation laws regarding the North Carolina State Defense Militia. This temporary suspension at the state governor's level is still in effect.

## Historical North Carolina militias

The North Carolina Provincial Congress authorized a militia in 1775 for the American Revolution. The militia continued after the war. In 1836, the North Carolina General Assembly of 1836–1837 passed a law establishing a permanent militia. The law enrolled all free white males between the ages of 18 and 45 in the State Militia. Exceptions were given for certain public officials and other occupations. Free black males could only be enrolled as musicians in the militia. The division, brigade, and regiment structure of the militia was prescribed and included each county.
# Donald H. White

Donald H. White (February 28, 1921 – October 4, 2016) was a 20th-century American composer.

# Nostoc punctiforme

Nostoc punctiforme is a species of filamentous cyanobacterium. Under non-limiting nutritional environmental conditions, its filaments are composed of photosynthetic vegetative cells; upon nutrient limitation, some of these cells undergo differentiation into heterocysts, akinetes or hormogonia.
N. punctiforme is one of the Nostoc strains able to maintain diazotrophic symbiosis with higher plants such as the bryophytes Anthocerus punctatus and Blasia pusilla, water ferns from the genus Azolla, the cycads Macrozamia spp., and the angiosperm Gunnera.
Applications:
Modified Nostoc punctiforme intein (Npu DnaE split intein) is used for a self-cleaving protein purification (e.g. iCapTag™).
# Coat of arms of Quindío Department

The coat of arms of Quindío was designed by Solita Lozano de Goméz, who also designed the Flag of the Department of Quindío.

## Design and meaning

The Coat of arms of Quindío is the union of two shields, and was based very closely on the Coat of arms of Armenia, the capital of the department.
The biggest is a roundel bordered in gules, and in a field of argent lays an inescutcheon on top of this there's a scroll that contains the motto of the department Young, Rich, Powerful. Below the inescutcheon the year 1966 is inscribed, this being the year Quindío became a department. And going around the sides, are two branches of coffee in representation of the most important product of the region.
The inescutcheon its copied from the inescutcheon of the coat of arms of Armenia. Within it, in a field of azure, there is a trunk with a Splitting Axe encrusted in it, symbol of the colonist who built the town.

# Norwalk Agreement

Norwalk Agreement refers to a Memorandum of Understanding signed in September 2002 between the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US standard setter, and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The agreement is so called as it was reached in Norwalk.
The Agreement was a significant step towards the US formalising its commitment to the convergence of US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.
In the Press Release that announced the Agreement, Robert H. Herz, chairman of the FASB commented “The FASB is committed to working toward the goal of producing high quality reporting standards worldwide to support healthy global capital markets”.
The Agreement set out a number of initiatives, including a move to eliminate minor differences between US and international standards, a decision to align the two Boards’ future work programmes and a commitment to work together on joint projects.

# North Pike River (Pike River tributary)

The Rivière aux Brochets Nord (English: North Pike River) is a tributary of the Pike River (French: Rivière aux Brochets). This watercourse crosses the territory of the municipalities of Dunham and Stanbridge East in the Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Montérégie, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December to the end of March. Safe traffic on the ice is generally from late December to early March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation.

## Geography

The hydrographic slopes neighboring the "Brochets river north" are:
* north side: Yamaska River;
* east side: Gear Creek;
* south side: Pike River (Missisquoi Bay tributary);
* west side: Pike River (Missisquoi Bay tributary).
The "Rivière aux Brochets Nord" originates from a small marsh area (1.2 km (0.75 mi) long, located between two mountains and in a forest area) in the southern part of the territory of Dunham. This area is located west of Selby Lake, southwest of the village of Dunham, west of route 213), at south of route 202 (Bruce road) and west of route 237.
From this marsh, the course of this river flows on:
* 2.7 km (1.7 mi) north to route 202 which the river crosses 2.7 km (1.7 mi) west of the village of Dunham;
* 3.1 km (1.9 mi) north to Chemin de Maska;
* 1.1 km (0.68 mi) northwest to Noiseux stream (coming from the east);
* 2.0 km (1.2 mi) west to route 237 (chemin du 10e rang);
* 3.2 km (2.0 mi) west to a country road that the river crosses near the hamlet Pearceton;
* 1.7 km (1.1 mi) west to Dextraze stream (coming from the north);
* 4.5 km (2.8 mi) south-west in an agricultural area to its mouth.
The "Rivière aux Brochets Nord" flows onto the north shore of the Pike River (Rivière aux Brochets), just north of the village of Stanbridge East.

## Toponymy

The toponym "Rivière aux Brochets Nord" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

# Doyle Point

Doyle Point (65°53′S 54°52′E﻿ / ﻿65.883°S 54.867°E﻿ / -65.883; 54.867) is a point between Cape Batterbee and Cape Borley on the coast of Enderby Land. It was discovered on 12 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, who named it for Stuart Doyle, who assisted the expedition photographer with the film record.
# Doyle Owl

The Doyle Owl, or Strigidus cementus, according The New (Olde) Reed Almanac, "is the unofficial mascot of Reed College (the official mascot being the griffin)". It is a concrete statue of an owl, roughly three-foot high, and 300 pound (136 kg), that originally occupied the lawn of a Portland resident. One night in 1913, the Owl was stolen from the lawn by residents of the Doyle dormitory, part of Reed's Old Dorm Block. The Owl was promptly hoisted atop the dorm building, where it drew the attention and envy of neighboring dorms. According to the 2006–2007 Student Body Handbook, however, the Doyle Owl may have originated as an ornament atop the Doyle dorm, from which it was removed as a "dorm memento".
The Owl was first stolen in a 1913 dorm war. Another dorm kidnapped nine residents of Doyle, offering to exchange the captives for the Owl. This did not work and the "hostages" escaped. The same rival dorm staged a two-hour siege on Doyle, featuring water, mud, and ammonia bombs. Doyle countered by using a firehose, but the tradition had been born. Over the years the Owl has been stolen countless times. However, an odd ritual has accompanied this thievery. Whenever it is stolen, the thieves must flaunt it at a "showing," where elaborate measures are taken to display the Owl while reducing the odds of it being re-stolen by a new group. The resulting brawl often involves the majority of the student body.
The Owl appeared hidden in the grass in the "Sowing the Seeds of Love" music video for the band Tears for Fears after video editor Mike Quinn told Director Jim Blashfield about the Doyle Owl tradition at Reed, where his younger brother was a student. Other "showings" have included encasing it in ice, covering it in Vaseline while hanging it off the Blue Bridge, setting it on fire (using baking oil) and throwing it out the back of a speeding car. In 2014, the Doyle Owl was rumored to have been inside a snowball 40-inches in diameter. But when maintenance workers cut through the snowball, The Oregonian reported, "The Doyle Owl was nowhere to be found."
Temporary possessors of the Owl also traditionally take pictures of themselves next to it, to prove their possession, and pictures of the Owl in strange places and with unusual people have become de rigueur. It has been seen in the United States at Disneyland, in Seattle, in San Francisco, and in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Owl has been pictured in the company of Steve Jobs and Dr. Demento. The Reed Office of Admissions feeds the air of myth surrounding the Owl, with its website claiming Owl sightings in Paris, France, and in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Oregonian reported, "three-foot tall bird has been spotted on the Eiffel Tower; taking in the sights of New York City and visiting the shark tank at Sea World in San Diego".
The Doyle Owl is listed in the Dictionary of American Slang as meaning, "both hideously ugly and extremely desirable".
