# Vincent O. Carter

Vincent O. Carter was an African American writer who for most of his adult life lived in Bern, Switzerland. His best-known work is the autobiographical The Bern Book: A Record of a Voyage of the Mind.

## Life

Vincent O.Carter was born in 1924 in Kansas City, Missouri, where he grew up in poverty. As a young man he was drafted into the US Army and was deployed in France. After the war, the G. I. Bill gave him the opportunity to study at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and he also spent a year at Wayne State University in Detroit, while, at the same time, working as a cook for the Union Pacific Railroad and for a Detroit auto manufacturer. After finishing his degree, he returned to Europe where, in the mid-1950s, and after extended stays in Paris, Munich and Amsterdam, he finally settled down in the Swiss de facto capital Bern. There he wrote most of his works, painted and worked as an English teacher. He died in Bern on January 23, 1983.

## Writing

The Bern Book, completed in 1957, yet only published in the US in 1973 under the title The Bern Book: A Record of a Voyage of the Mind is a sharply observed, autobiographical narrative describing the city, its inhabitants and their reaction to a black foreigner living among them. A German translation was published in Switzerland in 2021.
He is also the author of Such Sweet Thunder, which narrates the story of a boy growing up in the segregated Kansas City during the 1920s and 1930s. This book, while completed in 1963, was only published in 2003.

# Vineyard Power Co-operative

Vineyard Power Co-operative is "a community owned renewable energy co-operative based on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts."
Vineyard Power develops local renewable energy projects and plans to assist the island of Martha's Vineyard to meet the energy goals of the Island Plan, and work towards a 100% renewable energy supply. The founding of Vineyard Power was inspired by the renewable energy vision of the people of Samso island in Denmark.

## Wind Power

Offshore wind development is another of the motivations for creating the Vineyard Power Co-op, with the recognition this energy source would need community support. The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) classifies the sound and ocean around Martha's Vineyard to be "Excellent" (between 7.5 and 8 meters per second (m/s) in regard to energy generation potential, at 50 meters altitude) or "Outstanding" (between 8.0 and 8.8 m/s). The first proposal for offshore wind in the area, known as Cape Wind, created significant opposition focused on the lack of community involvement, and visual impacts. https://www.nrel.gov/news/program/2011/1437.html That project obtained a lease for development in Federal waters six miles from land in Nantucket Sound.
Vineyard Power organized public input into the planning wind farm development off the southern shores of the island, with OffshoreMW, and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE). This collaboration began as the Martha's Vineyard Offshore Wind Alliance (MVOWA) in 2011. The Vineyard Power Co-op signed a Community Benefits Agreement with that one developer to formalize this arrangement for mutual benefit, and to pursue better community input and economic development for the people of Martha's Vineyard. The development is now called Vineyard Wind. The permitting process for this offshore windfarm is underway.

## Solar Power

During the years when the Federal process for offshore wind development moved slowly, the Co-op identified opportunities to develop solar projects on the island. The first of these were solar canopies in the parking lot at the locally-owned supermarket. Benefits for more citizens came through building solar on town-owned landfills. Town of Aquinnah chose the company, after an RFP, for a solar plant. Construction was started and completed in 2012. The most recent solar project completed is on the roof of the Boys and Girls Club.

# Holden FC

The Holden FC series is an automobile produced by Holden in Australia from 1958 to 1960. Introduced on 6 May 1958, the FC is a facelifted and improved version of the Holden FE series, which it replaced. Although it is exclusively an Australian design, the styling is reminiscent of a scaled-down North American 1955 Chevrolet.

## Model range

The FC range consisted of four-door sedans in three trim levels, five-door station wagons, marketed as "Station Sedans" in two trim levels, a two-door coupe utility and a three-door panel van. The seven models were:
* Holden Standard Sedan
* Holden Standard Station Sedan
* Holden Business Sedan
* Holden Special Sedan
* Holden Special Station Sedan
* Holden Utility
* Holden Panel Van
* Holden Standard Sedan
* Holden Standard Station Sedan
* Holden Special Sedan
* Holden Special Station Sedan
* Holden Utility
* Holden Utility
* Holden Panel Van

## Changes

Although the FC series was substantially the same as the FE, it featured revisions to the radiator grille, body trim and interior. Minor mechanical improvements were also made, with changes to the engine, suspension, brakes, gearchange linkages and the steering box. The Utility now featured painted rather than chromed grille and headlight rims, as did the Panel Van.

## Engine

All FC models were powered by a 132-cubic-inch (2.2 L) six-cylinder engine producing 72 bhp (54 kW). This engine was carried over from the FE series, although the camshaft was altered, the compression ratio was increased and torque was improved.

## Production and replacement

After a production run of 191,724 vehicles, the FC was replaced by the Holden FB series in January 1960. The FC was the first Holden to be regularly available in Indonesia.

# Ontario Handweavers & Spinners

The Ontario Handweavers & Spinners (OHS) is a non-profit organization based in Ontario, Canada that helps individuals interested in the fiber crafts to communicate and develop their skills, including weaving, spinning and dying, basket makers, braiders, tablet weavers and paper makers. The OHS communicates to its members through a quarterly newsletter, Fibre Focus, provides educational programs in spinning and weaving, provides scholarships and organizes several seminars or conferences each year.

## History

On 8–9 April 1955 a meeting of 135 members of Ontario weaving guilds was held at the Heliconian Club. The noted New York weaver Berta Frey gave a talk and demonstrated putting on a multicolored warp. The group formed an advisory committee to look into setting up a provincial organization, leading to the foundation of the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners the next year. At the time there was increasing interest in reviving traditional craft skills.
In 1986 the Handweavers Guild of America held Convergence '86 in Toronto, Canada, its first biennial meeting outside the U.S. The conference was co-hosted by the Ontario Crafts Council and the Ontario Handweavers & Spinners. About 2,000 weavers and spinners attended the conference. By 1998 the organization had grown to over 1,000 members, in over 70 guilds within six autonomous regions in Ontario. The OHS is affiliated with the Ontario Crafts Council. Many individuals prominent in the fiber arts have graduated from OHS courses or have been associated with the OHS over the years.

# Mount Kilimanjaro vlei rat

Mount Kilimanjaro vlei rat (Otomys zinki) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in north-eastern Tanzania, on Mount Kilimanjaro.

## Taxonomy

Bohmann (1943) initially described this species as Otomys typus zinki. It was kept under Otomys typus (Ethiopian vlei rat) by Bohmann in 1952 and moved under Otomys orestes (Afroalpine vlei rat) in the classification of Musser and Carleton (2005). However, this species was considered to be distinct by Taylor et al. (2011).

## Threats

It is known from only 1 location in Tanzania (Mt. Kilimanjaro). Although it occurs in a protected area, threats such as fires, climate change and habitat loss could lead the species to extinction in a short timespan.
