The flag of the United States Navy consists of the seal of the U.S. Department of the Navy in the center, above a yellow scroll inscribed "United States Navy" in dark blue letters, against a dark blue background.

The flag was officially authorized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on 24 April 1959 and was formally introduced to the public on 30 April 1959 at a ceremony at Naval Support Facility Carderock in Maryland. It replaced the infantry battalion flag which had been used as the U.S. Navy's unofficial flag for many years beforehand.

It is used on land, displayed inside naval offices, in parades, and for other ceremonial occasions, and often on a staff at the quarterdeck of ships in port. It is not flown by ships at sea, nor on outdoor flagpoles on naval land installations, and is not used as an identifying mark of U.S. Navy ships and facilities, as the U.S. Coast Guard ensign is.

Executive order

The following is details from the Naval Telecommunications Procedures, Flags, Pennants & Customs, NTP 13(B)

1710. FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY
By Executive Order 10812 of 24 April 1959, the President, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy with the approval of the Secretary of Defense, established and prescribed an official flag for the United States Navy. This flag is to be 4 feet 4 inches hoist (width) by 5 feet 6 inches fly (length), of dark blue material, with yellow fringe, 2½ inches wide. In the center of the flag is a device 3 feet 1 inch overall, consisting of the inner pictorial portion of the seal of the Department of the Navy (with the exception that a continuation of the sea has been substituted for the land area), in its proper colors within a circular yellow rope edging, all 2 feet 6 inches in diameter above a yellow scroll inscribed "UNITED STATES NAVY" in dark blue letters.

Streamers
The following streamers are authorized, in order of precedence:

 Note that a "x #" designation denotes the number of streamers used to carry devices (maximum of 6), not the number of awards. For streamers there the device column lists "red numerals", the total number of the award earned by ships and units of the Navy are totalled and embroidered in red. Because these numbers are constantly changing, they are not listed here.

Navy jack 

Jacks are additional national flags flown by warships (and certain other ships) on a jackstaff at the bow of the ship. These are usually flown only when not underway and when the ship is dressed on special occasions.

California's coastal salt marsh is a wetland plant community that occurs sporadically along the Pacific Coast from Humboldt Bay to San Diego. This salt marsh type is found in bays, harbors, inlets, and other protected areas subject to tidal flooding.

Plant habitat 
Plant species in this community are halophytes adapted to the saline conditions and low oxygen content typically found in the water-saturated soils. As a result of the demanding conditions, species diversity is relatively low.

Typical plant species in this community include:

Salt grass (Distichlis spicata)
Franconia (Frankenia salina)
Pickleweed and glasswort  (Salicornia spp.)
Cordgrass (Spartina foliosa)
Seep weed (Suaeda californica)

Plants occur in bands that are determined by the amount of submergence a species can  tolerate.  Most tolerant of submergence is cordgrass which has a hollow stem that allows oxygen to reach its roots . Further inland, pickleweeds and glassworts are predominant where their roots are flooded only during the highest tides.  The salt-marsh bird's-beak (Cordylanthus maritimus) is an endangered plant species that occurs in this habitat.

Animal habitat 
Few terrestrial animals inhabit the coastal salt marsh.  One endangered mammal is the salt marsh harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris) which  occurs in the San Francisco Bay region. Likewise, only five species of birds are resident in this habitat and four are considered rare or endangered.

Travel incentives are a reward subset of an incentive program, recognition program or a loyalty program, which is a business tool designed to change consumer behavior to improve profit, cash flow, employee engagement and customer engagement. It has been described as business travel that is designed to motivate or trigger action, as a reward for these actions from employees or business partners. This fosters loyalty and encourages the best talent for an organisation.

When an organization properly designs an incentive program, which includes looking at all departments which will be affected, rather than just the impact to the department that is sponsoring the incentive, the return on investment can be proven. Oxford Economics USA wrote in a 2009 study that incentive travel investments yielded a return of investment of more than $4:$1. and stated that in order to achieve the same effect of incentive travel, an employee’s total base compensation would need to be increased by 8.5%.

The Incentive Research Foundation released a study in 2010 following the steps that an organization took to ensure that they received a return on their investment; they successfully merged acquired organizations into their company, and successfully merged their incentive programs.

Economic impact
Incentive trips, meetings and events account for 15% of all travel spending, which creates 2.4 million jobs, $240 billion in spending and $39 billion in tax revenue, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Incentive travel generates about $13 billion a year, according to the Incentive Research Foundation.

The economic impact and the AIG effect had negatively affected incentive travel programs in 2010, with spending on incentive travel being reduced.

Customer advocacy is a specialized form of customer service in which companies focus on what is deemed to be best for the customer. It is a change in a company's culture that is supported by customer-focused customer service and marketing techniques.

Customer advocacy business model
A customer advocacy policy encompasses all aspects of customer contact, including products, services, sales and complaints. Some examples of a customer advocacy approach are suggesting a product even if the profit margin is less for the company, setting service call appointments based on the customer's (not the company's) preferred hours, or recommending a competitor's product because it is better at meeting the customer's needs.
However, there are times when, if a customer is happy with the service, they will pay more for the service as a 'per se' talent fee.

Role of the customer advocate
Customer advocates are facilitators between customers and the company. They are trained in cross-functional roles and empowered to provide customers with assistance in all areas of the business. The role of the customer advocate is three-fold: 
To be the main contact for the customer in handling a question or problem, and to keep the customer updated with timely and frequent information about progress towards resolving the issue.
To facilitate a resolution by bringing together the appropriate department heads.
To implement a procedure that ensures the problem does not occur again, or recommends products or services to better meet customers' needs.

Measuring customer advocacy
Customer advocacy can be integrated into a company's strategic goals and measured through customer satisfaction, retention, and profitability. A popular proxy for customer advocacy is the Net Promoter Score. Customer advocacy programs are often measured by the value or revenue they influence for an organization. Common ways customer advocates can help drive revenue include making referrals, acting as customer references, and through upsell or cross-sell of additional products. The return-on-investment (ROI) of an advocacy program can be calculated by looking at the overall investment or program spend compared to revenue influenced by the program.

The Richmond Free Press is an independent newspaper in Richmond, Virginia. Published on a weekly basis, it is mainly targeted at the city's African-American community and its poorest residents. Raymond H. Boone, its founder, started the paper in part because he felt these groups were underrepresented in the mainstream media.

History 
Raymond H. Boone and Jean Patterson Boone founded the paper in 1992, and Raymond H. Boone served as its editor and publisher until his death on June 3, 2014. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe eulogized Boone as “a true Virginia legend”  whose "life devoted to justice, equality and a well-informed public discourse, and I know that commitment will live on thanks to his leadership at the Richmond Free Press.”  Prior to publishing the Richmond Free Press, Boone, who graduated from Boston University with a B.A. in journalism and Howard University with a M.A. in political science, taught journalism at Howard University for almost a decade. Boone was inducted into the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame in 2000, and in 2006, he received the Virginia NAACP’s highest honor, the Oliver W. Hill Freedom Fighter Award.

Jean Patterson Boone took over the role of publisher and president upon her husband's death. Her son, Raymond Boone, Jr. is vice president. Her daughter, Regina Boone, works at the newspaper as a photojournalist. 

The newspaper's coverage of anti-racism and Black Lives Matter protests in Richmond, and in particular, the toppling of Confederate monuments on the city's Monument Avenue, has been highlighted due in part to Richmond's historical status as the former capital of the Confederacy.

Awards 
The paper has won honors and awards for excellence in journalism, including awards from the National Newspaper Publishers Association, as well as the Virginia Press Association. Previous journalists have included A. Peter Bailey.

Polaris is the twelfth studio album by power metal band Stratovarius, released on 15 May 2009. It is the first Stratovarius album to feature bassist Lauri Porra and guitarist Matias Kupiainen, following former bassist Jari Kainulainen's departure from the band in 2005 and former guitarist Timo Tolkki's departure in 2008.

Timo Kotipelto, who at the time of Polaris''' release had been a member of Stratovarius the longest (since 1994) among the current members, considered Polaris to be "the album that saved the band" and said that "without it there would not be any Stratovarius." More time passed between the release of Stratovarius' eponymous album Stratovarius in 2005 and the release of Polaris than between any other two consecutive albums released by the band. Stratovarius in 2006 had recorded a demo album called Revolution Renaissance, performed one Revolution Renaissance song live in August 2007 ("Last Night on Earth") and according to Kotipelto had intended to release a completed version of the album in 2008. However, the songs of that album were re-recorded and released in 2008 as New Era, the first album of Tolkki's new band, Revolution Renaissance, which acquired the album's prior name.Polaris reached No. 2 on the Finnish albums chart, as well as reaching the top 70 in five other countries.. (in Italian). FIMI. 2009. Archived from the original on 2012-04-04. Retrieved 2014-01-09. "Deep Unknown" was released as a single, reaching No. 20 on the Finnish singles chart. In its first week of release, the album sold around 800 copies in the U.S.

Cameron Highlands is an area in Pahang, Malaysia. It has three major towns: Ringlet, Tanah Rata and Brinchang. The Highlands have five settlements:  Bertam Valley, Kea Farm, Tringkap, Kuala Terla, and Kampung Raja. These eight communities are linked by a 34-kilometer-long road that stretches from Ringlet to Kampung Raja.

Towns

Ringlet 
Ringlet () is the first town after the turnoff from Tapah. It is an agricultural hub. A wide variety of vegetables are grown there. The cool climate is favorable for growing passion fruit, strawberries and grapefruit.

Tanah Rata 
Tanah Rata () is the administrative center of the area. The police station, government offices, hospital, schools, library, post office, shops, banks, eateries, inns, chalets, bus station and taxi stand are all present. The town is noted for its intricate network of jungle tracks leading to waterfalls, mountains, scenic spots or aboriginal villages. These tracks generally intersect with each other to form a “loop” around the city.

Brinchang 
Brinchang () is the Highlands' second biggest town. The majority of its visitors are from Singapore or Malaysia. It is close to the central market, orchards, nurseries, museum and a golf course. Brinchang is also known for its “Night Market," an outdoor bazaar typically open on weekends and during school holidays.

Attractions 
Bertam Valley is a scenic spot about two kilometers from Ringlet. Its main activity is the cultivation of fruit, flowers and vegetables. It is the Highlands' entryway from Pahang via Sungei Koyan from Raub or Kuala Lipis.

Kea Farm () is one of the highest villages in Peninsular Malaysia. It is adjacent to the tea estates and Mount Batu Brinchang (Malay: Gunung Batu Brinchang).

Tringkap is a farming enclave and is the area's focal point for growing vegetables. A high percentage of its crops are grown on terraces and the bulk of its production is exported to Singapore.

Kuala Terla is a farming commune. Its main activity is the cultivation of fruits, flowers and vegetables. It is approximately four kilometers from Kampung Raja. It has a mixed population including Chinese, Indians and Malays; however, the most common language spoken is Malay.

Kampung Raja is a residential area and the first town after the turnoff from Simpang Pulai. From Kampung Raja, it is possible to proceed to either Ipoh (Perak) or Gua Musang (Kelantan).

The Jake Gaudaur Veterans' Trophy is presented annually to the Canadian Football League (CFL) player "
who best demonstrates the attributes of Canada's veterans in times of war, peace and military conflict."  The award was first presented in 2010, and the first recipient was Mike McCullough of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The award is presented by the CFL and Veterans Affairs Canada to jointly recognize the contributions of Gaudaur and the sacrifices of Canada's military veterans. Jake Gaudaur, the award's namesake, served as CFL Commissioner from 1968 until 1984, after playing for the Toronto Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes. He served as a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II.

As with other CFL awards, the Jake Gaudaur Veterans' Trophy is presented during Grey Cup week.  For the inaugural award, current Minister of Veterans Affairs Jean-Pierre Blackburn was on hand to present the trophy to McCullough.  The Jake Gaudaur Veterans' Trophy was established as part of the CFL's 2010 Veterans Tribute, a series of activities organized by the league to commemorate "the achievements and sacrifices of Canadian Veterans during times of war, military conflict and peace."

The judges involved in selecting the winner for the Jake Gaudaur Veterans' Trophy in 2010 included CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon, broadcaster Glen Suitor, CFL Players Association president Stu Laird, Dominion Treasurer of the Royal Canadian Legion Michael Cook and Assistant Deputy Minister for Service Delivery and Commemoration, Veterans Affairs Canada Keith Hillier.  The judges selected McCullough based on his perseverance, comradeship, community service, strength and courage.

William Jackson (born 9 January 1815 in Masham, Yorkshire, England; died 15 April 1866 in Bradford, England) was an English organist and composer, who also spent some time being a miller, his family's profession, in their home-town.

A self-taught musician, as a child and young adult he learned to play 15 different instruments and set about repairing barrel organs. With the assistance of his father, he built his own organ and became organist at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Masham, in 1832. He won first prize in the Huddersfield Glee Club in 1840. In 1852, he established a music business and became organist of St. John's Church at Bradford. Later, he took the organ at Horton Chapel, was conductor of Bradford Choral Union, and chorusmaster of Bradford Festivals. His works include two oratorios (Deliverance of Israel from Babylon and Isaiah); two cantatas (The Year and The Praise of Music); the 103d Psalm for solo, choir and orchestra; sacred music, glees; part-songs; and songs.

Jackson died suddenly in April 1866 and was buried in Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford. His son, also named William, became an organist and composer too.
