Nova Color Artists Acrylic Paint. Nova Color Artists Acrylic Paint is an American supplier of acrylic paints. The company was founded in Culver City, California in 1965.

History 
Nova Color Artists Acrylic Paint was first manufactured in Culver City, California in 1965 shortly after the commercial introduction of acrylic polymer resin for paint production. Mexican immigrant Carlos Amparan developed a line of brilliantly colored fine art acrylic paint after experimenting with this relatively new water-borne emulsion. He and his brother Raoul began small-scale production of Nova Color and sold it at a low price to local artists.

Inexpensive and readily available, Nova Color helped fuel the explosion of the Southern California Mural Arts and Chicano Mural Arts movement in the late 1960s, 1970’s and 1980’s. Powerful artwork was made on a large scale. Cities began mural painting programs such as the Los Angeles Citywide Mural Project to promote community development and renewal.

Although originally designed as an artists’ easel paint, Nova Color proved to be a remarkably long lasting architectural paint for outdoor murals and decorative finishes. Nova Color developed a loyal following among artists who loved the strong colors that were affordable.

Early Southern California murals with Nova Color paint include:

 Anthony Quinn or The Pope of Broadway (1984) by Eloy Torrez, Los Angeles, California
 John Muir Woods John Muir School (1978) by Jane Golden 
 Death of a Farmworker  (1979) by Michael Schnorr and Susan Yamagata, Chicano Park, San Diego, California
 El Nuevo Fuego (1985) by East Los Streetscapers, Los Angeles, California
 Labor in San Diego (1985) by Victor Ochoa, Centro Cultural de la Raza, San Diego, California
 the original painting of the Great Wall of Los Angeles, 1976-1983.

Nova Color Artists Acrylic Paint has continued advancement in paint technology and is used internationally for murals and fine art painting. Still located on Blackwelder Street in Culver City, California, the neighborhood is now the Culver City Arts District where contemporary art galleries line nearby Washington and La Cienega Boulevards.

Salmon-class destroyer. The Salmon class were two destroyers built by Earle's to an Admiralty specification for service with the Royal Navy.

Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of , the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements.

 and  were launched in 1895. They displaced 305 tons, were  long and their Yarrow boilers produced  which gave them the intended top speed of 27 knots.  They were armed with one 12-pounder gun and two torpedo tubes.  They carried a complement of 53 officers and men.

In May 1912 they were sold for breaking up.

In 1913 all surviving similar vessels built to the same requirement were reclassified as the  torpedo boat destroyers.

HMS Lynx (1894). HMS Lynx was a  which served with the Royal Navy.  She was launched in 1894 and sold in 1912.

Construction
In April 1892, the British Admiralty sent out a request to several shipbuilders for designs and tenders for "large sea going torpedo boats", or what later became known as "Torpedo Boat Destroyers", to be built under the 1892–1893 shipbuilding programme. In January 1893, an order was placed for two ships with Laird & Co., following on from orders placed in July the previous year with the specialist torpedo boat builders Yarrows and Thornycroft.

The Admiralty did not specify a standard design for destroyers, laying down broad requirements, including a trial speed of , a "turtleback" forecastle and armament, which was to vary depending on whether the ship was to be used in the torpedo boat or gunboat role. Laird's design was  long overall and  between perpendiculars, with a beam of  and a draught of . Displacement was  normal and  deep load. Four Normand Normand water-tube boilers fed steam to 2 three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines rated at . Four funnels were fitted.

As a torpedo boat, the planned armament was a single QF 12 pounder 12 cwt ( calibre) gun on a platform on the ship's conning tower (in practice the platform was also used as the ship's bridge) and one six-pounder (57mm) gun aft, with a single fixed 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tube in the ship's bow and two more 18 inch tubes on a rotating mount. As a gunboat, the two swivelling  torpedo tubes could be removed to accommodate a further two six-pounders.

Lynx was laid down at Laird's Birkenhead shipyard on 1 July 1893 as yard number 597 and was launched on 24 January 1894. She carried out sea trials in August 1894, successfully reaching the contract speed of 27 knots, but had problems steering when running astern, and was not completed until August 1895.

Service history
On 26 December 1894, Lynx ran aground off the coast of Cornwall, receiving serious damage. Lynx took part in the Royal Navy's annual manoeuvres in July 1896. On 26 June 1897 she was present at the Jubilee Fleet Review at Spithead. On 30 September 1897, Lynx and the destroyer  ran aground in thick fog off Dodman Point in Cornwall. A steam main aboard Thrasher ruptured as a result of the impact, killing four stokers, with Lynx less badly damaged. Both ships were refloated, with Lynx sailing to Devonport for repair. While Thrashers commanding officer was severely reprimanded for "reckless navigation" in the resulting Court Martial, Lynxs commanding officer was acquitted.

Lynx served in the Devonport instructional flotilla, when in early February 1900 she was transferred to become tender to the torpedo school ship  off Devonport. In 1902 she served in the Channel Squadron, underwent repairs to re-tube her boilers in May, and took part in the Coronation Review for King Edward VII in August.

In February 1908, inspection revealed that Lynxs deck plating and bulkheads were rusting through. On 10 April 1912, she was sold for scrap to Ward's of Preston.

Kinleith Mill. The Kinleith Mill is a pulp and paper plant located at Kinleith, Tokoroa, New Zealand. It is one of eight mills operating in the New Zealand pulp and paper industry. It is currently operated by Oji Fibre Solutions, formerly Carter Holt Harvey.

Kinleith Mill produces approximately 330,000 tonnes of paper grades per year, plus 265,000 tonnes of predominantly bleached pulp. The site boasts its own cogeneration plant operated by Genesis Energy, which burns wood waste and generates approximately 40 MW used mainly on-site, with the rest of the required electricity mainly coming via a 110 kV transmission line direct from the nearby Arapuni Dam. The mill is Tokoroa’s largest employer, with some 450 employees and 280 additional subcontractors, mainly from ABB. A cycleway path runs between the mill and Tokoroa township.

Kinleith was established as a sawmill community and dedicated timber forests serving it were planted from 1924 on, with a heavy duty railway reaching the facility in 1952 (Kinleith Branch line), and the mill itself commencing production in 1953. Tokoroa was at that time mainly a service/dormitory town to the mill facilities. Kinleith was built by New Zealand Forest Products and named for the Kinleith paper mills, on the Water of Leith, Scotland by Sir David Henry KBE, who worked there during his papermaking apprenticeship.

Banshee-class destroyer. The Banshee class was a class of three torpedo boat destroyers that served with the Royal Navy into the early part of the Twentieth century.

Under the 1893–1894 Naval Programme, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of , the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements.

The three ships, Banshee, Contest and Dragon were all ordered on 7 February 1894 to be built by Laird at Birkenhead. Displacing 290 tons, they carried one 12-pounder gun and five 6-pounder guns, plus two 18-inch torpedo tubes in a trainable twin deck mounting. With  they made a speed of 27 knots (50 km/h).

The ships had a length of , beam  and draught of  and carried a complement of 2 officers and 51 men. Banshee and Dragon were deployed to the Mediterranean in 1896 and remained there for the rest of their service lives, until coming home in 1911 to be paid off; Contest spent her whole service life in Home waters.

Along with the similar Ferret-class torpedo boat destroyers built under the 1892-1893 Programme, they were all disposed of in 1911/1912.

Ships
All three were built by Laird Brothers at Birkenhead (which was to become Cammell Laird & Co. in 1903)

Fervent-class destroyer. Two Fervent-class destroyers served with the Royal Navy.

Under the 1893–1894 Naval Estimates, the British Admiralty placed orders for 36 torpedo-boat destroyers, all to be capable of , the "27-knotters", as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates. As was typical for torpedo craft at the time, the Admiralty left detailed design to the builders, laying down only broad requirements.

 and  were designed and built by Hanna Donald in 1895.  The ships displaced 275 tons and were  long.  Their locomotive (later Reed) boilers generated  which produced a top speed of between 26 and 27 knots.  As was usual with ships of their type, they carried one 12-pounder, two torpedo tubes and had a complement of 53 officers and men.

Both ships served in home waters.  They originally were designed with one funnel but when they failed to reach their contract speed they were reboilered with four funnels.  Due to these problems, the ships did not leave their builders until 1901.

In September 1913 the Admiralty re-classed all the surviving 27-knotter destroyers, including Fervent and Zephyr as A Class destroyers.

Industria Cartaria Pieretti. Industria Cartaria Pieretti (icP) is an Italian company that produces cardboard for industrial use, made starting from waste paper. Its headquarters are in Marlia, inside the Lucca paper district.

History 

In 1924, Giuseppe Pieretti founds in Marlia the F.lli Pieretti company (Pieretti Brothers), which starts producing straw paper. From 1935 to 1938, the company activities are expanded; they come to include the management of some more paper mills all around Italy. During the 1950s, Giuseppe's sons (Adriano, Graziano and Luisiano) take over the control of the whole company.

With the second generation in control, icP's core business shifts to packaging paper, completely made of waste paper. The 1970s marked the beginning of the corrugated cardboard production (1978). Two years later, the activities focus on stripe-cut board, so that it can be used in the production of tissue rolls cores or industrial tubes.

Products 

Every year approximately 120,000 tons of board are produced, with a gross income of more than 40 million euros. 60% of icP's total production is sold in Italy; the left part is exported throughout the world.

icP produces four kinds of paperboard: 50% of the production is used in the tissue cores market; 30% in the corrugated paperboard market; the remaining 20% is used for industrial tubes. The weight stays between 140 and 420 g/m2.
