1906 Industrial Issue - Kinston Township
Contributed by Christine Grimes Thacker
KINSTON TOWNSHIP
Townships of Lenoir County
Lenoir County is, for purposes of local government, divided into twelve townships. Each township has it own school committeemen who direct the schools of the townships, a township constable and justices of the peace. The townships are all favorably situated as being in easy reach of a market, and possessing land capable of a great variety of farming. The land is level with a clay sub-soil, in a large part, more or less sandy and rich to a remarkable degree.
Following in order are given some facts concerning each township, and pictures of leading homes and families in each township.
KINSTON TOWNSHIP is one of the smallest in area of all the townships of the county; still it is the most populous and the richest, paying the greater part of the county's taxes. The township comprises 15,810 acres of land, which, outside of the city is excellent for farming purposes. The land is productive of a great variety of crops. At present they are principally used to produce cotton, tobacco, corn, and truck, such as cabbage, beans, lettuce, asparagus, strawberries, potatoes, etc. The local consumption of such products is considerable and the shipping facilities which Kinston offers makes trucking on these lands very inviting. The township is well settled, but there still remains ample room for many more prosperous homes and farmers.
Outside of the city of Kinston the township contains three churches and two schools-one white and one colored. Miss MELTHE BROWN teaches the white school and there are about 25 pupils. The school is situated about two and a half miles from Kinston. The committeemen are K.R. TURNSTALL, V.R. JACKSON and W.A. JONES.
Some of the representative homes of Kinston are given below.
One of the prettiest residences of Kinston township is "The Cedars," owned by Mr. P.A. HOOKER. It is a mile from Kinston, and was in former days the site of the JOHN TULL residence. The surrounding farm consists of 300 acres of good land upon which are raised some cotton, but especially hay, oats, and general home supplies. On his farm Mr. HOOKER also produces an abundant supply of fruit as plums, pears, peaches, apples and grapes.
In addition to his farm, Mr. HOOKER has a steam cotton gin, with a capacity of 12 bays a day, and a sawmill with per diem capacity of 8,000 feet.
In 1896, Mr. HOOKER married Miss ANNIE RUE BARWICK, of Tampa, Fla. They have one child to make their home brighter-little Miss DORIS, only two years of age. They live just a short distance from the corporate limits of Kinston, where they attend the Methodist Church, and are prominent in social and business circles.
FRANK ROUSE
Mr. J.F. ROUSE lives in a neat house in Kinston township, near the Vance township line. He was born in 1851 in Moseley Hall township. His parents were JESSE H. and JANE ROUSE (nee KENNEDY). His father was a planter and took considerable interest in the Churches and schools.
Mr. ROUSE has wandered about considerably in his time, but has always stuck to this section. At the age of 18 he went to Vance township, from there he came to Kinston township, than to Bucklesbury section, than to Wayne Co., next to Green Co., and finally back to Kinston township where he married and now lives with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. He married Miss ELIZA WHITE, daughter of WILLIAM and ELIZABETH WHITE. The children were EFFIE (deceased), TROY J., and GUY WILLARD, who married MAUDE, daughter of county commissioner A.T. DAWSON, of Institute.
The home tract consists of about 340 acres, of which 125 acres are under cultivation. The land is good, being best adapted probably to corn and cotton. On his uncleared land is some valuable timber, although it has been cut several times.
TOWER HILL: ISAAC M. TULL
One of the younger men of the county, who with his young wife occupies an historic old homestead in Kinston township, is Mr. ISAAC M. TULL The place of his residence is Tower Hill Farm, where he was born, in 1877. Here he has spent most of his life, except when attending school.
The old Tower Hill farm was at one time selected to be the capital of the colony of North Carolina, but for some reason the site was abandoned and Newbern made a final choice.
There are several interesting legends about the old place. In later years it became the home of the TULLS, which family owned a great many acres of land in this section.
At present Tower Hill farm is frequently headquarters for hunting parties from beyond the States, who take advantage of the supply of game in this section. Mr. I.M. TULL, the proprietor, is himself an enthusiastic sportsman, and reckoned a good shot.
In 1905 Mr. TULL married Miss OLLIE GILBERTA HILL of Lenoir county. He belongs to the Christian Church, is a member of the Elks, Odd Fellows, and Lenoir Commercials Club.
J.F. HORNER
One of the "up-country" farmers to be attracted by our superior agricultural resources is JASPER F. HORNER, of Orange County. He was born in that county, March 5, 1868. His parents were JOHN and BETTIE F. HORNER. His father was a farmer and was regarded as the best brick mason in Orange county. His grandparents were JAMES and BETTIE HORNER. His grandfather raised fine stock and owned from four to six wagons, with which, in those early days, he made regular trips between his home section and Petersburg, thus doing a general carrying business.
The subject of this sketch spent his early years on the farm. In 1889 he married Miss MAGGIE, daughter of W.R. and SALLIE WILKERSON, of his native county. The children were two, one of whom is now deceased.
In 1896, Mr. HORNER came to Lenoir county, owning-as he says-nothing. He came as a tenant and for one year worked the RICHARD HILL place on shares. After this he went to the CHADWICK place, where he staid for three years, having leased the farm from the late ALEX. LaROQUE. He than bought the HENDERSON LOFTIN place on Hull road, six miles from town. He still owns this place and also the DALLAS ALEXANDER place, four miles from Kinston. At the latter place he has built a nice cottage house and barn with other attractive out-houses and tenant houses.
The land which he cultivated will come near producing anything; although it seems best adapted to the culture of tobacco.
One year since he has been in this section, Mr. HORNER sold his tobacco crops for $6,000; and three or four years ago, when tobacco was so low, he averaged $100 an acre. This year he has raised over a thousand bushels of peanuts, some of which he has sold for 75 cents a bushel.
In addition to the farms he owns, Mr. HORNER has leased the Rountree and Temple farms. He owns three lots on west Blount street in Kinston. On two of these he has erected dwelling and will soon build on the third.
So much for a young energetic preserving farmer, who came to our community as a tenant, without other capital than his ability and determination.
W.T. WORTHINGTON
Living on his farm a mile and a half North of Kinston is Mr. W. T. WORTHINGTON, familiarly known as Uncle TOM, a jovial farmer, a strenuous soldier of by-gone days, a good talker and all-around good fellow. He was born in the good county of Greene the 11th of January, 1844.
In 1896 Mr. WORTHINGTON, came to Lenoir and lived on ADKINS Hill, near Kinston, then on the R.F. HILL place near Lousan Swamp, and than he came to his present place on Snow Hill road where he built a neat cottage home. The home tract consists of 78-1-2 acres of as fine land as there is in Lenoir county. All of this but about 10 acres is cleared and under cultivation, producing anything that is planted.
Uncle TOM has been married twice. His first wife was Miss HANNIE J. LYONS of Greene County. The children are Mrs. ANNIE FLORENCE HEATH, W.C. WORTHINGTIN, MATTIE WORTHINGTON, Mrs. EMILEE EDWARDS, HEBER, DAVID and TOM, twins, and GROVER CLEVELAND, DESSIE, (deceased), LESSIE, and HANNAH JANE. Mr. WORTHINGTON'S second wife was Miss PENELOPE KILPATRICK.
Mr. WORTHINGTON likes to read and talk about civil war times. At the early age of 18 he entered the confederate service, May 1862. He volunteered at Greenville and saw service all over eastern Carolina where he was detailed as courier. He next went to LEE'S army in Virginia and took part in the hard campaigns of that great command. Among Uncle TOM'S treasures of memory are two conversations which he had with the peerless LEE. The great commander approached him while on picket duty and a kinder, more polite, more considerate man, Mr. WORTHINGTON never knew.
One of the hardest battles that he was ever in was that of Cold Harbor when 13,000 Yankees were killed in twenty minutes. That was a "hot time," too on July 30,1864, before Petersburg when GRANT mined the fortifications protecting the city blew up. The Yankees got in, but Uncle TOM says they got out again.
In one of the Virginia campaigns Uncle TOM was on the skirmish line whose duty it was to run the Yankee pickets out of their "dugouts" and take possession. The attempt as a whole was a failure; but Uncle TOM ran his men out and entering, took possession of the dugout and its contents, for the fleeing Yankee did not take his knap sack with him. Uncle TOM at that time was very much in need of just such things as his departing friend had left behind ; so thinking an even swap no robbery he exchanged the contents of his knap-sack for those of the one he found. Meanwhile the Yankees were pouring shot over the dugout, but Uncle TOM got out and to the cover of the woods in safety.
His hardest fighting was at Wises' Fork, near Kinston, where he was severely wounded and taken to the Salisbury hospital. During the war he was wounded five times; but he suffers no inconvenience now from those wounds. 1906 Industrial Issue


As our younger daughter approaches 10 months we are seeing the world appear before her eyes. As with our elder daughter when she was a similar age, books are increasingly an important part of her life. There are many wonderful board books designed for the littlest of fingers and thumbs, and resistant to newly emerged tiny chompers. Below is a selection of our current favourites.
This perfect pair has been hugely enjoyed by both our daughters. The books are both highly tactile, with strongly made interactive elements on every page, including their front covers (from a rotating ship's wheel, to pirates that you can tip into the sea with the flick of a finger as they walk the plank, to a princess who gives a royal wave and changes outfits at the turn of a dial).
A gentle rhyme accompanies highly appealing illustrations depicting children engaged and happy in make believe play as pirates and princesses respectively, with boys AND girls represented in each book. Our elder daughter also enjoyed reenacting many of the books' lively scenes.
This charming and engaging quartet of board books is perfect for hands on play with your baby, with each book designed to suit a variety of times in a baby's day, including active play of fun and games, and soothing time to encourage sleep.
Each book contains five spreads featuring a baby enjoying a different movement or interaction with their adult. The pictures are accompanied by lyrics, songs and helpful tips and information on how to support a baby's visual, aural and physical development.
Bounce & Jiggle and Wiggle & Move contain between them 10 rhymes, songs and poems matched with instructions on how to enjoy physical interaction and rhythm. Touch & Tickle has 5 great ideas based on baby massage techniques, while Calm & Soothe focuses on touch aimed at encouraging relaxation, good digestion and wind down.
A lovely aspect of the illustrations is the diversity of babies (all kitted out in adorable baby grows) and their adults, including scenes of twins. Our elder daughter loves to listen to the songs, and regularly joins in while we engage our baby in the likes of "this is the way the ladies ride", "criss-cross apple sauce" and "hush little baby".
Our fourth ever review, back in June 2015, was of the wondrous The Paper Dolls, which remains one of our favourite picturebooks. Here the author/illustrator dream team of Julia Donaldson and Rebecca Cobb are reunited in a new boardbook for younger readers.
Julia Donaldson's trademark light-hearted rhymes, here describing amusing situations that make us and our elder daughter smile (including 'a mole in my bowl', 'a hare in my chair' and 'a lamb in my pram') are perfectly matched by Rebecca Cobb's beautiful illustrations of small children faced by these animal antics.
Interaction comes from the clever use of flaps to reveal a gentle riposte to the animals' behaviour (such as 'fly away owl', 'run away mole' and 'skip away lamb'), and a memorable song version of the book available to watch here, performed by Julia herself.
A final scene of cosy sleep, and the comfort of a teddy in bed, draws the book to a soothing close.

TRUE UNITY IS FOUND IN CHRIST THROUGH HIS WORD.
There's more than just unity in faith. There's unity in doctrine or teaching. Jesus wants us to take this very seriously. He wants people taught His Word, to cling to His Word, to not change His Word. It's HIS teaching, His doctrine. Jesus says today, "I have made known [or declared] to them Your name, and will declare it." Jesus taught of His death and resurrection that He would undergo for you. What was sin 2,000 years ago is still sin today because Jesus is still as much a Savior from that sin today as He was then! He also preached of His baptism, His Supper. He declares all the blessings and benefits. He didn't just do it then. He said, "Will declare it" How does He do that? Through the Apostles' Word! It's how He starts this whole section: "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word." The Apostles' Word, the Scriptures, is where we hear Jesus' Word. Where Jesus' Word is, there the Spirit is too. Then faith! True unity is found when all cling to Christ's doctrine without changing it, reinterpreting to suite our own needs. Jesus is quite clear: Baptism makes disciples. He also says it through Peter, "Baptism now saves you." Jesus said, "This is My body…this is My blood." So He says through Paul, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" We believe what Jesus has to say. He speaks Himself. He speaks through His Apostles. "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word." So in Acts 2, we also hear that the believers "continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine, the bread-breaking fellowship, and in prayers," that is, the Lord's Word (preached, read, and taught), Holy Communion, and worship.
Why is this all important? Why should we seek true unity in Christ's Word? Well, listen to Jesus' prayer for you—Jesus prays for you!—"I pray for those who will believe in Me through the Apostles' Word." For then you don't just have worldly union. You have union with Christ. For the Jesus who has died and risen for you, the Jesus who ascended for you, prayed for you—He prays for you now! Why does He do all this? He prays, "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world." Why? Eternal life for you! When you have unity in Christ through His Word, it can't be any other way.

Formations 01.18.2015: Elijah's Challenge
January 11, 2015 by Darrell Pursiful
1 Kings 18:17-24, 38-40
Baal with thunderbolt, found at the acropolis in Ras Shamra (Ugarit), Syria
After years of drought, Elijah at last demands a meeting with King Ahab. He rebukes the king as the one who is troubling Israel and proposes a contest on Mount Carmel to decide once and for all whether Baal or Yahweh is worthy of worship. There, Elijah accuses the people of hobbling back and forth between two opinions. It is time for them to make up their minds.
This lesson could easily explore the issue of divided spiritual loyalties today, and this topic is indeed worthy of attention. Remember, however, that the unit deals with "Elijah's Witness." What was it like for Elijah to be given such a challenging, even dangerous, message to impart? What fears keep us from speaking the truth about the failings of our own culture?
• When have you needed to tell a powerful person something he or she was not likely to want to hear?
• When have you felt shunned or mocked for holding an unpopular opinion?
• How can Christians speak the truth about God—and about the idolatries of their culture—without an attitude of self-righteousness or triumphalism?
The Canaanite god, Baal, is referred to in both the OT and the Ras Shamra Ugaritic texts. The Ras Shamra tablets, which date to about the fifteenth century B.C.E., describe Baal as a weather or storm god. The storm god's role is reflected in the sculptured representations of Baal who is featured as a man equipped as a warrior, with a thunderbolt as a spear in his left hand, an uplifted mace in his right hand, a short kilt around his waist and thighs, and a helmet with horns. The horns were symbolic reminders of the bull, Baal's sacred animal and symbol of fertility, and of Baal's role as the god of fertility. Baal was one of a number of gods comprising the Canaanite pantheon. He is identified as the son of Dagon, the fertility god of the Philistines (Judg 16:23; 1 Sam 5:2); however, El was generally recognized as the father of the gods of the pantheon. Baal is also referred to as Hadad or Baal-Hadad, though Hadad, a semitic storm god, and Baal are usually recognized as separate deities. As a storm god, Baal was described as '"the rider of the clouds" reminiscent of a description of Yahweh (Ps 68:4). Baal was also called "the Prince." Baal was associated with Mount Zaphon. In the Ras Shamra texts, Anath, described as "the virgin Anath," was both sister and consort of Baal.
One of the greatest surges of Baal worship came during the reign of Ahab. Prompted by his wife Jezebel, Ahab initiated a cultural reform movement, the focal point of which was the Tyrian Baal, the god of Jezebel's homeland (I Kgs 16:31). The cultural reform, which was in essence a missionary program, included the construction of a temple for Baal (1 Kgs 16:32), and the importing of Baal missionaries, that is, the prophets of Baal and Asherah (1 Kgs 18: 19). The statement that the prophets of Baal and Asherah ate "at Jezebel's table" (v. 19c) probably indicates this was a government-funded program.
Lamoine Devries, "Baal," Mercer Dictionary of the Bible, ed. Watson E. Mills et al. (Macon GA: Mercer University Press, 1990), 79–80.
The Context on Mount Carmel
The meeting is a dramatic confrontation that consists in only one quick exchange (18:17-19). The king speaks first (18:17). He should, because he is the king. He asks a question that parallels the question of Obadiah in v. 7. But whereas Obadiah's question is an act of deference, Ahab's is an accusation. He identifies Elijah as a disturber of Israel. The implication is that the realm would not be in trouble if it were not for the prophet; that is, there would be no drought. The accusation is not unlike the ill- informed statement of the widow in 17:18.
Elijah's response is denial and countercharge (18:18-19). It is the king who in fact troubles Israel. This is an amazing charge against the king, that the king is a disturber of the peace. The charge con- cerns not only the king, but the king's family, that is, the House of Omri. We have seen that the dynasty is formidable (16:23-34); but we have also seen that the dynasty, from Yahwistic perspective, is evil. The consequence is the contest at Carmel that will involve 450 prophets linked to Baal, 400 with Asherah, all under the patronage of Jezebel. The issue is joined! There is no doubt that Israel is "troubled." We will see who is to be blamed….
The actual contest is wondrous street theater with everything dramatized and overstated (18:20-40). Mt. Carmel may indeed be simply a convenient location, or it may be that as a "high place" it is appropriate to divine presence. Or it is possible that the name "Carmel" is appropriated as "vineyard of God," thus alluding to fertility. Elijah sets the issue of the meeting in his initial address to the people (18:21). The purpose is to force a decision among the people who have refused to decide. "Limping" means to engage in a cultic dance in celebration of Baal while professing Yahweh. The prophet insists that the two loyalties are mutually exclusive and one cannot have it both ways. The response of silence may indicate the resistance of the people. The last thing they want is to decide. Elijah directs the preparation for the contest with bulls and fire. He lays down the ground rules so that there will be no doubt when the scores are tallied….
The response is decisive. The people drew the only conclusion that could be drawn (18:39): "Yahweh is God, Yahweh is God." The verdict is inescapable. There are no more "two opinions." There is one opinion. Yahweh is acknowledged, Baal is routed and eliminated from consideration. But the response is more than affirmation. As Elijah is vindicated, so the prophets of Baal, the ones linked to Jezebel, who worked in vv. 22-29, are thoroughly discredited. This is a contest for "keeps" and they have lost. Within the context of the narrative, they are likely not surprised at their fate. They are executed as Elijah surely would have been had things gone otherwise. Perhaps ironically, they are killed in the wadi, the gully that is now dry, but that will, by the gift of Yahweh, soon surge with water. Yahweh is known to be God, but Yahweh must always and again demonstrate power and defeat rivals who endlessly challenge.
The narrative culminates with the overwhelming gift of rain, thus exhibiting the outcome of Yahweh's victory, Yahweh's sovereignty, and Elijah's confirmation (18:41-46). Importantly, Yahweh's victory is over Baal, for it is Baal who is reckoned in Canaanite religion to be the rainmaker. The announcement of drought (17:1) and of rain (18:1) are defiant claims on the part of Yahweh; it is Yahweh and not Baal who makes rain. The contest and victory over Baal in vv. 20-40 are now a harbinger that Yahweh will give rain, the firstfruits of the rule of Yahweh in an arid, drought-ridden context. This is Yahweh the creator, the maker of heaven and earth, the guarantor of fruitfulness who now gives rain as gift and as sign of sovereignty.

Gay Talese is a bestselling author who has written eleven books. He was a reporter for the New York Times from 1956 to 1965, and since then he has written for the Times, Esquire, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and other national publications.
Gay Talese was born in Ocean City, New Jersey, and currently lives in New York City. His groundbreaking article "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" was named the "best story Esquire ever published," and he was credited by Tom Wolfe with the creation of an inventive form of nonfiction writing called "The New Journalism."
His most recent book, A Writer's Life, was published by Knopf in 2006 and reissued in trade paperback by The Random House Publishing Group in July 2007. A collection of his sportswriting, The Silent Season of a Hero, was published by Walker & Company in September 2010.
The inner workings of a writer's life, the interplay between experience and writing, are brilliantly recounted by a master of the art. Gay Talese now focuses on his own life — the zeal for the truth, the narrative edge, the sometimes startling precision, that won accolades for his journalism and acclaim for his revelatory books. Candid, humorous, deeply impassioned — A Writer's Life is a dazzling book about the nature of writing in one man's life, and of writing itself.

Car accident in New York injures 3, claims 1 life
A New York man has been charged for his role in a fatal crash. The car accident reportedly occurred June 7. According to police, this individual was driving in the wrong direction when his vehicle slammed into another vehicle.
This collision occurred just before midnight on the Henry Hudson Parkway. A 23-year-old male was reportedly driving a minivan that he allegedly crashed into several parked cars before turning onto the parkway, heading north in the southbound lanes. His van struck a car with two occupants — a 53-year-old male and a 54-year-old female. The female passenger died at the hospital shortly after the wreck, while the other victim was admitted in stable condition.
The individual believed responsible for this incident was also injured and transported to a medical facility for treatment, as was a passenger in his vehicle. The driver has since been charged with assault, reckless endangerment, reckless driving and manslaughter. It is unknown if court dates have been scheduled in his case.
Family members of the deceased as well as the surviving victims of this car accident may, according to the laws of New York, have legal recourse. Personal injury, wrongful death and any other appropriate claims may be filed against the driver deemed responsible for this crash. For each individual claim, negligence will need to be established in court. If this can be successfully accomplished, the victims and the decedent's loved ones may be granted monetary compensation for the various losses they have sustained as a result of this tragic event.

Well, agree with Roacer666 - the project should be managed someway.
As for me, now I'm exploring the PIXIL and other libs - in order to be able to do something serious There is also a lack of documentation Now I can't even understand the architecture of such systems from primitive things (for ex, which modules are loaded at startup, etc) to more complex things (for ex, what is responsible for processes/threads managing).
hmm, I don't have too much clue yet either, but for example: FLTK is very well documented, so I tried it first. there is FLUID, an interface designer for fltk. And therefore it is really easy and fast to write your first fltk app. PIXIL is not documented it all (as far as I can see), but the code is quite clear and it is not that much. So I would be really delighted to see you as developer for this wonderful project. I haven't had much clue either, and now I am trying to set up a crosscompiler toolchain, sounds crazy, but to be honest: it is a lot of fun to work with you guys and I am learning alot.
Any objections/suggestions/comments? Or maybe somebody already working on it?
One thing I am currently doing is to name all the windows. This means that every call to GrNewWindowEx will use the second arguments.
Also, I am intercepting the key SHIFT+'#' to show the on-screen-keyboard. This is done in 'Fl.cxx Fl::handle case FL_KEYBOARD'.
Something strange in PIXIL is that GR_ROOT_WINDOW_ID doesn't get keyboard events. You might want to change this.
If you find how to set up key-shortcuts, I will be glad to know.
3. I began work with QTopia, but my work and study took away all time. Now i has left my study and have more free time.
fca0000's patches are now in SVN. Thanks alot for the excellent work. Tell me if something doesn't work out, since it compiles fine here. Thanks alot fca0000 for the excellent work.
I managed to compile and run ViewML. Now we have a HTML browser that uses about 900 Kb.
It can be reduced and improved (WAP and WMLS come to my mind) but for now, it is enough.
I finally found a toolchain that works, now I am trying to get Pixil up and running on the SX1.
He just asked if someone run Pixil on SX1?
And what will be the answer?
What hapenned with project? Where is results?

Green Horizons
PhD on the production costs, climate impact and future supply of SAF
Sierk de Jong (26) is a former SkyNRG employee, he started at the company as an intern in 2013 and later became part of the business development team. While part-time working for SkyNRG, Sierk finalized his PhD study "Green Horizons" at Utrecht University. His PhD defense was on Friday, June 15th, and SkyNRG was there to celebrate and ask him some questions.
What is the topic of your thesis? And what are the most important conclusions?
My thesis focused on the production costs, climate impact and future supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). When I started four years ago, there was a need for a broad overview of the economic and environmental performance of renewable jet fuel technologies. We found that the production costs of renewable jet fuels are currently 2-3 times higher than fossil jet fuel. New technologies, more experience and optimized supply chains can cut costs by almost 50% in the coming decade, thereby bringing price parity within reach. We used these analyses to make quantitative projections of the future supply of SAF. Based on the proposed EU legislation for 2021-2030 (RED II), we found SAF supply could increase to 4-6 million metric tonnes in 2030, which would cover 6-9% of EU jet fuel demand and reduce roughly three-quarters of the projected emission growth. Prerequisites for this transition include stable policy incentives, strong support for technology development and solid sustainability criteria.
What collaborations were crucial for your study?
The studies featured in my thesis were all conducted in partnership with other leading research institutes, such as Imperial College London, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands. During my research, I also had many interactions with industry players, policymakers and NGOs, which helped me to make my research more relevant and applicable to the current situation. The collaboration with SkyNRG and the company's network has been invaluable to access market information. I believe that the interaction between academia and industry can be of great value for both parties involved.
If you had another four years for research, what questions would you target?
Questions that remain are, for example, what role does SAF play beyond 2030? What are appropriate incentive mechanisms for SAF? How can we best support technology development to get SAF technologies to scale and ASTM certified? I also foresee that the sustainability of alternative fuels will become ever more important. As the social license for SAF relies on non-negotiable climate benefits, I urge the industry to advocate for credible sustainability criteria in the context of CORSIA and adequately inform the wider public about the sustainability of the alternative fuels they use.

Why Jordan Peele is the Perfect Choice to Reboot The Twilight Zone
That Peele changed Get Out's ending proves he understands the moral mechanisms of Rod Serling's original series.
Jeremy Fassler
Jordan Peele, Rod Serling
I will never forget the first time I saw the trailer for Get Out: the audaciousness of the basic concept - Stepford Wives with race - as well as the is-it-a-comedy-or-isn't-it tone was such a mind-blower that I immediately texted my friend who works for Blumhouse, the production company that made the film, and asked if what I'd seen was real, because I needed confirmation that this wasn't just the most elaborate fake trailer ever made:
Little did I realize that I had witnessed the beginning of a phenomenon. Get Out not only recouped its budget several times over, it never left our cultural conversation, resulting in four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, the first for any horror film since The Sixth Sense. On Monday, AMC theaters will hold a free President's Day screening to celebrate the film's first anniversary (for showtimes and locations click here.) For everyone who worked on the film the sky is the limit, especially its writer/director Jordan Peele, who last December, announced he would reboot The Twilight Zone for CBS All Access.
This is a perfect match of creator-to-material. As tired as I may be of seeing old properties rebooted, a Jordan Peele Twilight Zone will be the first of the franchise's subsequent incarnations to live up to Rod Serling's original because of the fact that Peele was willing to change the original ending to Get Out. This may seem like a small thing to focus on as the X factor that gives me confidence in the project, but having seen every episode of the original series (and having read Marc Scott Zicree's indispensable Twilight Zone Companion more times than I can count), I think it speaks volumes to what Peele and Serling have in common in terms of how they tell stories.
Briefly: last May, it was revealed that Peele had written and shot a very different ending for the film. In it, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is arrested by the police after killing his girlfriend and her family. The film flashes forward to prison, where he's visited by his best friend Rod (LilRel Howery), who asks him to remember the names of the people he killed. Chris refuses, saying only "I stopped it" before he hangs up and walks back to his cell. You can watch it below:
The great director Sergei Eisenstein once said, "you must go where the film leads you." Given what Peele set out to accomplish, this seemed like the logical ending for the film: in the real world, Chris would be arrested for these murders. But test audiences who saw the film with this ending felt it was too real for them. What's more, it didn't add to his film's challenging of the Obama era post-racial narrative. Eisenstein didn't only mean that a film must follow real-world logic; it must also follow story logic. Understanding that the audience needed Chris to succeed, Peele reshot the film to follow through on that, but not before giving us all a lump in our throats when the sirens first appear (and a collective sigh of relief when it's revealed they're not from a cop car, but from Rod's TSA vehicle.)
Movies are fragile, and one mismatched element can be the difference between a classic and a dud. Get Out would never have been a dud with the original ending, but we might not still be talking about it. Which brings me to Rod Serling.
When Rod Serling created The Twilight Zone, he didn't intend it to be a show where aliens, ghosts, or monsters cause chaos every week. He grounded it with a Dickensian morality, where the agents of chaos exist either to punish the villains or give the good guys another chance. There's a reason Serling uses Christmas Carol in his work: like Scrooge, his characters often learn that redemption is possible. Sometimes, like Bleak House's John Jarndyce, they put aside their ego to help others. Serling and his co-writers didn't always heed to these rules - Burgess Meredith's meek bookworm breaking his glasses at the end of "Time Enough At Last" one of the most famous exceptions - but they rarely punished characters for punishment's sake.
The final six episodes of the original series to be produced, all of them written by outsiders, failed to understand this and are generally considered among the series' worst. One example is "What's in the Box?," about a surly cab driver whose TV shows him murdering his wife in the future. The Twilight Zone had done many episodes with magic devices - phones, radios, shoes, etc. - but usually, the purpose for these devices was to reveal deeper aspects of the main characters, like the slot machine which undoes the hapless gambler in "The Fever," or the radio which gives its listener a chance to restart his life in "Static." In "Box," all that happens is the cab driver sees the murder and then he does it. The TV serves no purpose other than to cause chaos, and it renders the whole episode pointless.
The Twilight Zone reboots fell into this trap as well, most notably the one from the early 2000s. In the pilot episode, "Evergreen," Amber Tamblyn plays a girl whose family moves to a strange gated community where unruly teenagers disappear and are never heard from again. The premise, while a good one, never goes beyond sheer chaos, since after Tamblyn's character finds out the community's secret (they turn the bad teens into fertilizer), she becomes their victim. It's Soylent Green without the environmental message. I knew while watching it that the series would never last, and was proven right, since it was cancelled after only one season of episodes that relied only on gimmicks and chaos.
The sci-fi/horror tropes of The Twilight Zone existed not to shock, but to illuminate the human condition. As a huge fan of the genre, Peele must know this, and his willingness to change Get Out's ending shows a commonality with Serling's Dickensian impulses. I don't know exactly what his reboot will look like, but I believe it will share the same philosophy as the original: the moral arc of sci-fi/horror is long but it bends towards justice.

A popular riverside bar and restaurant looks set to reopen almost a year after it unexpectedly shut.
The Crown & Anchor at Tickton suddenly closed last March, leaving regulars shocked and disappointed.
The venue, which shut after the previous licensee took on Beverley pub the Rose & Crown, now looks set to reopen later this month.
A spokesman for the Crown & Anchor's owner confirmed someone has taken on a long lease for the pub, which will reopen. He said: "We are happy to announce it will be reopening.
"I am sure people would be happy to know that's moving ahead.
It is understood the person who has taken on the lease has 30 years' experience managing hotels and restaurants.
The new leaseholder said he is not ready to release full details yet but a "soft opening" with drinks is planned before the end of February, with the venue expected to fully open in March. He said: "The Crown & Anchor was previously a fine dining outlet.
"I understand the trade and when you are fine dining you have to be a destination place.
"The new menu will be good home-cooked pub grub, nothing flash but nice and cheap with a good selection of cask ales.
"It has got a huge beer garden, it has got potential for festivals and events.
"We want to have a soft opening with drinks before the end of the month, with a full opening in March.
Tickton was left with no pubs when the New Inn also shut last year, just weeks after the Crown & Anchor closed.
The Micro Pig Bar opened in part of the former New Inn last October but people in the village have welcomed the prospect of "a proper pub" opening its doors again.
Tickton postmaster John Greenwood said: "I'm delighted that the village is going to have a proper pub again, it badly needs it.
"I just hope the residents will support it and make it a success."
The Crown & Anchor's riverside setting, with boats moored alongside, was a popular venue with locals and visitors.
It dates back to 1823 and is local landmark, visible from the busy A1035 which passes the village.


Editor's note: Over the next several weeks, Tysons Reporter is profiling the eight districts of Tysons. This is the third article in that series.
Almost three hundred years ago, when Thomas Fairfax was still alive, the county's first courthouse was built where the "Toilet Bowl Building" now stands. The courthouse is long gone, but it has given its name to the second of Tysons' eight districts.
"Old Courthouse" is now home to mid-rise offices, but is destined to become a mixed-use residential quarter as the Comprehensive Plan is implemented.
Ironically enough, the Old Courthouse district doesn't actually include the land where the courthouse itself once stood. Rather, the district runs along Old Courthouse Road and Gallows Road and is bounded by Route 123 to the northwest, Route 7 to the northeast, the Beltway to the east, and the single-family neighborhoods to its south and southwest.
Old Courthouse is today home to a collection of low- and mid-rise office buildings and a few strip-mall-style retail and dining options. Tomorrow, it could be home to many more people.
In a sense, this will be the residential counterpart of the Tysons Central 123 shopping area just north of it.
As a mixed-use residential area, planners intend for families living in Old Courthouse to be able to satisfy most of their day-to-day needs with a short walk. Pedestrian infrastructure, like more pleasant sidewalks and safer crossings, will help make that vision a reality.
Perhaps the most major change in the blueprints for Old Courthouse is the extension of Boone Boulevard. Ultimately, this street could triple in length, extending all the way from Kidwell Drive in the south, crossing Route 123 in the north, and leading into the civic center planned for the western part of Tysons Central 7. That extension — along with other proposed new streets perpendicular to it — would create a denser grid of streets, making it easier for both pedestrians and vehicles to move around.
Public transportation will be key to the district's future. Almost all of Old Courthouse is within a mile walk of the Greensboro Metro station, and some is much closer. The extended Boone Boulevard has been identified as a prime candidate for a circulator line connecting the different neighborhoods of Tysons.
Old Courthouse also stands to benefit greatly from the potential park on top of the Route 123-Route 7 intersection, which would make it much easier for people to get to the Metro station as well as provide some much-needed green space.
Although the vision of the Comprehensive Plan extends for decades, a handful of development projects in the coming years offer us a peek into the future of Old Courthouse.
For the most part, developers will be permitted to construct offices and shops in addition to residences throughout Old Courthouse. However, Fairfax County hopes to incentivize additional housing by letting developers build taller buildings if those buildings are residential — with the requirement that these taller apartment or condo buildings have a light impact on traffic.
In 2015, Fairfax County approved plans for a development including 385 apartments and 129,000 square feet of commercial space to be located in the northern part of Old Courthouse on Rt. 7. This plan, called International Place, would bring a much more urban form, with wide sidewalks and street cafe seating. However, the developer who was to be responsible for the project has since declared bankruptcy, leaving the undeveloped-but-approved project on the market.
A hospital could also be coming to the eastern part of the district as the medical system seeks to be able to serve the increasing number of residents across Tysons.

Poverty: Definition, Causes, Types and Effects
Subject: Sociology
Poverty is a global issue. It is characterized by limitations in accessing human basic needs such as food, healthcare, education, shelter, and clean water among other essential needs.
This paper defines what poverty is. It explains in detail; relative and absolute poverty as the two main types of poverty in our societies. Besides, the paper explores the reasons causing poverty in society such as overpopulation, inadequate employment, and environmental degradation among other important causes. Thus, the paper points out the effects that are linked to poverty such as homelessness, hunger, and sexual exploitation. Further, the paper also expounds on significant poverty mitigation measures such as fixing strong institutions, education, skill-building, economic liberalization, and empowering women among other reasons that should be established to reduce poverty.
In conclusion, poverty creates hunger and hopelessness among populations.
Policies to empower the societies, economic structures such as elaborate healthcare, affordable education, and provision of safe food should be established and strengthened to help in reducing the intense poverty in the societies.
Poverty means a lack of minimum basic needs necessary to preserve life.i.e. food, clothing, healthcare, basic education, and shelter. The poor in this case are people who lack an opportunity to lead a comfortable or decent living standard because of a compromised financial position in society (Tanner 1996). Poor people have low income compared to the 'nation's median income'. A nation's median income is the average income of an individual in a country.
Types of Poverty
Society is made up of different types of poverty based on the personal definition. There exist two types of poverty that are relative poverty and absolute poverty (Tanner 1996). The measure of relative poverty is comparable to measuring social inequality in society.
Relative poverty is earmarked as a measure centered on a poor standard of living and low income about the repose of the society. Relative poverty does not essentially infer to somatic human supplies such as health, shelter, and nutrition. But it favors incapability to access goods and services that are probable by present-day society (Cheal 1999).
Absolute poverty is a comparative term that defines a condition within a segment of the populace when equal to the mainstream. Constitutes of absolute poverty differ from one generation to the other as a state of slight survival changes. Absolute poverty affects people who do not have enough resources to aid their basic needs (Cheal 1999). The basic needs include accessing water, education, food, shelter, and health care. Failure to receive these essential basic needs results in high infant mortality and less life expectancy, low literacy rate and contributes to hardships in finding work. People affected by absolute poverty tend to suffer from chronic diseases and parasites that would have been easily been contained. That due to abject poverty, it proves hard to access affordable health care (Cheal 1999).
Causes of poverty
Various reasons have been charged to a wider spread of poverty across the world. one of the important causes of poverty is overpopulation. Overpopulation is a situation where a larger number of people exist than the resources and space available to support them (Lister 2004). High population growth creates high pressure on the available resources leading to scarcity. The surging population exerts pressure on available resources. An only a limited percentage of people can be supported on a given piece of land. Besides, the numbers rely on the quantity of food and other resources the land can give. In countries where the livelihood of the population is farming, herding, or gardening; a huge tract of land can only support a limited number of people because the latter activities are labor-intensive and only produce less amount of food (Lister 2004).
Besides, the level of poverty can depend hugely on combining population density and agricultural output. Consequently, a high birthrate also contributes to increasing poverty. Children are believed to assets to the poor population this is because they provide the needed labor, especially in farming activities. Besides, traditional values in most societies sanction the significance of having large families. In developing countries, for instance, the government does little in providing less or no financial support in strengthening family planning (Gladstone 1996). People who wish to limit their families face difficulties in achieving their objectives, therefore, most developing countries have a higher rate of population growth a situation contributing to poverty.
The second cause of poverty is associated with inadequate employment and education opportunities. Lack of sound education and rampant illiteracy in society increase the level of poverty in the society (Gladstone 1996). Most governments particularly in developing countries do not have the capacity and resources to provide good education to their population. Without a good education, most people are limited in finding good job prospects that can sustain their livelihood. Unprivileged people forego education to search for alternative means of improving their livelihood.
Further, lack of employment opportunities and especially for women can need foregoing to school, therefore, contributing to poverty. Consequently, when people do not have work, they have money. Hence mass unemployment creates a high level of poverty in society (Kelso 1994). Employment opportunities sometimes change providing a long period of joblessness. In densely populated countries, it is sure the working-age group cannot access employment and earn satisfactory income. Alternatively, other people may not be eligible to find work or may earn fewer wages to support themselves and their dependents (Kelso 1994).
The third, causes of poverty are environmental degradation. Environmental degradation has contributed to the depreciation of the natural environment for example; water bodies, atmosphere, forests, and soil causing poverty. Environmental challenges have contributed to the scarcity of food, shelter, water, and other vital resources. Degradation of land, water, and air pollution, and deforestation affect people who benefit directly from these resources (Ellwood 2010).
A higher percentage of the population in developed nations can easily access high-quality social amenities, high levels of technology, and food security. Developed nations use high levels of technology to mitigate environmental degradation, protecting their population from health hazards resulting from the environmental population. In addition, environmental degradation brings more challenges such as; intensive farming causes loss of soil fertility, pollution (Ellwood 2010). Deforestation reduces food and other worthwhile resources linked to it. Forests tend to absorb pollution and act as the catchment of water. Without forests, there is a risk of increased pollution and flooding that decreases productivity.
Fourthly, the economic and democratic trends extend the causes of poverty in society. Economic trend influences how the population adapts to its immediate environment. Inflation tends to increase the cost of living because people lose their jobs and hence have no stable source of income (Ellwood 2010).
Period of inflation causes recession and affect mostly the younger and less educated members of the society, who face difficulties in getting jobs that provide good earning to support themselves. Besides, changes in labor markets have surged the level of poverty (Chafel 1993). For example, the high-paying opportunities in manufacturing industries have decreased, whereas opportunities in the service and technology-linked businesses have surged. Based on job trends, people have gained skills that are needed in performing manual jobs such as; those available in manufacturing industries either through vocational or apprentice programs (Chafel 1993).
But these jobs are being faced out by technology and service-related jobs that need a college education, people who do not have a college education experience a challenge in getting good-paying work. Thus, the disparity in the spread of resources also accounts for a high level of poverty in society (Eisdell 1992). People placed at the middle or bottom of the income distribution have been affected because the cost of living is high. After all, the resource distribution in their geographical area cannot aid them. However, the demographic shift has worsened the situation of poverty. The demographic shift has upsurged the poverty rate among children. For instance, in the US, the family structure has been altered significantly. This has led to the rise of the single-parent family hood which is poorer (Eisdell 1992). Single families with children experience challenges in evading poverty compared with two-parent families. Two parents families can share the costs of childcare and work responsibilities.
Lastly, welfare dependency and individual responsibility have also been linked to the causes of poverty in society (Adams 1991). Differing myths persist about individual responsibility and poverty in society. Some people certify that poverty is an indication of societal makeup and that a proportion of any given society is predictable will poor. Dysfunctional "social institutions such as schools and labor markets" are also responsible for increasing poverty levels in societies. So the social reasons that poverty is uncontrollable by those who face it, but could be avoided if sound strategies and plans are instituted (Adams 1991).
Moreover, society believes the poor themselves intentionally carry themselves in choices that perpetuate their poverty. For example, if people have deliberate alternatives to use drugs and direct them to poverty, it can reason that they can blame themselves for their condition. But this reasoning cannot prove itself the association between poverty and drugs. In addition, cycles of poverty have been influenced by welfare programs. Government initiative to create welfare organizations to help the poor strengthen sustaining poverty in the society (Luthar 1999).
A welfare program gives incentives to people by encouraging them to remain poor while receiving payments and other important support. Welfare organization, therefore, discourages marriage and work (Luthar 1999). For example, cash welfare programs in the US inspire individual decisions hence creating poverty.
Effects of Poverty
Poverty gives rise to undesirable effects in society. One of the effects associated with poverty is homelessness. Individuals without enough incomes and social maintenance to satisfy their basic needs may be a locked-in systems where they don't have a fixed place to call home (Evans 2000). There are also concerns of an increasing "gap between the rich and the poor especially in developed economies." Because the latter earns less in many societies, they are compelled to make impossible options between; medical care, food, transport, and clothing. Because of their choices, many working families regularly find themselves turning to the streets for shelter. Consequently, social upkeep for the poor has decreased in the society, also in countries where social reforms were being embraced, it has contributed to an increase in the population at the possibility of homelessness (Evans 2000).
Secondly, poverty results in hunger. Hunger is designated as a lack of accessibility to adequate food because of poverty or controlled resources. This always leads to food insecure which refers to the inability to access basic needs because of financial limits. Hunger persists in society because individuals have no access to food or are constrained to buy existing food (Geyndt 1996). Besides, other notable reasons associated with hunger include ignorance, war, diseases, and unbalanced trade configurations.
Thirdly, poverty leads to health decline. Significance reasons ascribed to poverty for example malnutrition makes the population susceptible to illnesses. In poor countries, good and reliable health care is a preserve of the rich (Geyndt 1996). The poor population, therefore, lacks accessibility to suitable treatment and care. Because of this phenomenon, in poorer nations, life prospect is considerably lower than in developed nations. HIV/AIDs and TB are regarded as diseases linked to poverty. For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa, HIV/AIDS is directly associated with a higher death rate. The higher this death rate could be lessened if suitable strategies on how to access treatment for unscrupulous infections in cases of TB and antiretroviral drugs (Geyndt 1996). Besides, if pregnant women have suitable prenatal and postnatal attention, the dangers associated with HIV transmission to their child are decreased.
Where Population experiences extreme poverty for example in high HIV prevalence areas, societal and family networks weaken and break (Harrison 2007). This makes collective actions challenging because people feel that they do have control of their lives because of isolation, marginalization, and lack of strength in taking part in decision-making and policies which influence their lives.
Lastly, poverty contributes to sexual exploitation among children. Sex exploitation involves sexual abuse by an adult and reward by either cash or in-kind to the minor, or a third-party (Harrison 2007). The Child is preserved as a commercial object. Commercial sexual exploitation among children contributes to a form of oppression and ferocity against children; it is also quantified as forced labor and present-day slavery. Because of poverty, children are sexually exploited in three different ways; being forced into prostitution, pornography, trafficking for sexual reasons, and other forms such as sex tourism and early marriages (Harrison 2007).
Mitigating Poverty in Societies
Poverty can be contained when appropriate strategies are adopted. one of the ways to mitigate poverty in society is having strong institutions. An efficient institution that obeys laws and is not corrupt makes and implements good laws that offer confidence to businesses and property is essential in mitigating poverty (Katz 1976). A government that is fair and efficient will strive to work hard to create a long-term investment of the country rather than despoliation of available resources by corruption.
Secondly, the role of education and skill-building for economic growth is a significant approach in poverty alleviation (Katz 1976). Collective public education plays a central role in molding the youth with elementary academic and trade skills. Learning by apprenticeship also provides the needed trade skills. Besides, education geared towards women's improvements will allow small family size; which is important in poverty decline. Consequently, education about skills needed to develop and uphold the infrastructures of a poor society such as plumbing, trade, electrician, and other mechanical skills are desired to help the society stray away from poverty (Katz 1976).
Thirdly, poverty can be reduced by empowering society to embrace Microloan programs and education. A microloan program is believed to be one of the practical tools geared towards poverty fall in society. A microloan is an idea whereby individuals such as farmers or groups of people are given loaned small sums of money to enable them to get things needed to surge their economic progress. Besides, by incorporating micro-enterprise development; a technique encompasses education to the population on how to handle basic financial ethics and broad business training before loan provision provides a practical approach to mitigating poverty in the society (Katz 1976).
Fourthly, strategic economic liberalization helps in lessening the effects of the poverty scourge in society. Prolonging property privileges to safeguard the poor contribute to poverty mitigation that a country could embrace. Safeguarding property privileges to land, which is an essential asset for most societies, is fundamental to their economic growth and freedom. Ferrante (2008) points out that increasing lands privileges is vital in decreasing poverty.
Fifthly, embracing aids provide an opportunity for mitigating poverty in society. Aid is labeled as a basic income award. It is a form of social security that occasionally offers citizens money. Aid can be spread based on various ways and meeting certain needs. For example, conditional cash transfers are widely attributed as a successful anti-poverty initiative.it is grounded on actions, for example, registering children in schools or receiving vaccinations (Ferrante 2008). Consequently, welfare states provide an alternative to poverty decrease.
States that provide economic opportunities, security, independence in a complete manner ensure that poverty is minimized therefore creating an equal society. Besides, debt relief contributes to burdening of poor countries hence assisting in mitigating poverty (Ferrante 2008). Most developing countries have experienced huge debts from governments of rich nations and major international money lending institutions. Noting the interest rate is much higher than a country can produce per year in profits, freezing these debts allows the poor nation to reduce the level of poverty, by listing policies that will reduce poverty such as the provision of basic health care and affordable education.
Lastly, women offer an important role in strengthening household survival. Strengthening the participation of women in the development of the economy as well as the youths have particularly been seen as an important approach to achieve high levels of economic growth. This will highlight the dynamics of poverty separately from income inequalities. With better privileges, opportunities, and environment, women tend to receive more education hence increasing the human capital of a country. When the favorable condition is established, women act responsibly in aiding the people in the family (Ferrante 2008). Besides, when women have better education, they control their lives and successfully bring down population growth because they influence family planning.
Poverty contributes to the weakening of society.it leads to homelessness, hunger, illnesses, and sexual exploitation among other undesirable effects in society. A society that experiences a high level of poverty cannot contribute to the society or a country's economic growth. Hence fitting strategies such as efficient healthcare, quality, and affordable education, strong governmental institutions and affordable quality food framework is essential in reducing poverty and enhancing an economically stable society. This will increase life expectancy and improved lifestyle for the population.
