All Star Weekend - Turtle Island Preserve
We wanted to wrap up the 2019 camp season with a bang! Before the weather gets too cold, before rifle season opens up, and before a certain wily film crew shows back up for a possible 9th season of winter fun, we've crafted a really great weekend for our visitors! “An Evening with Eustace Conway” – came about when we realized we already had three well-known tv personalities teaching on-site the first weekend in November. With Robby from Forged in Fire teaching knife-making, Luke from Naked and Afraid leading hide-tanning, and Spencer from Hillbilly Blood teaching fire-craft…we thought: This is too dang special of an occasion not to celebrate! At the same time some wonderful musicians came along and asked if they could share their live music that weekend too! By that point we figured we’d make a big deal out of the whole thing! This ALL-STAR Weekend is just the way to wrap up a great year.
Eustace Conway: Self-Sufficient or Threat to Society?

Government Gone Rampant - Action Alert:
Boone, North Carolina: For decades, Eustace Conway has lived an independent, sustainable life, building shelter for himself on his land, growing his own food, setting up outhouse facilities, composting, and allowing others to learn these methods first-hand so that we may once again have a populous versed in the healthy manner of primitive survival skills.
After a preliminary visit from the local Planning vesves Inspections department, several independent local government agencies together performed a raid on Mr. Conways property, and now the Watauga County Health Department has ordered a cease vesves desist on Mr. Conways educational activities, and the Planning vesves Inspections Department has cited many violations on the property, as well as ordered that Eustace Conway bring his structures up to code, or demolish the structures on his own property. Some of the code citations include using unmarked lumber for his constructions (structures are made from cut-down trees without grading system indicators), and requirements for permits, plumbing, and wiring for any structure. Some of the structures cited requiring permits, wiring, and/or plumbing installation include a roofed-over platform, a doghouse (shown in video), and a tree house (shown in video).
Clearly, that which is law in todays society radically contradicts Mr. Conways entire way of living. The situation illustrates the fact that a central-planning society is incompatible with individual freedom, personal choice, self-sufficiency, and individuality, concepts upon which this country was founded.
As of right now, Mr. Conway says that he is still in shock vesves trying to figure out how to proceed. The director of the Watauga County Planning vesves Inspections says that it is his hope that Mr. Conway will comply with PvesvesIs demands, though he is not prepared to say what measures will be taken if this is not done, as they will have to consult with the county attorneys in order to determine how to proceed. There are many agencies (including state-level) who have reviewed Conways circumstances, and are attempting to take corrective measures, such as special exemptions within the code; however, stumbling blocks are continually met when one entity or departments attempt at code correction counters another departments code requirements. Attempts at amending code also take some length of time. Mr. Conways life remains in limbo.
To volunteer to help Mr. Conway with legal advice, donations, or other services, contact Turtle Island Preserve or Nate Cox of WhoIsNateCox.com, or keep up with the conversation vesves updates on Conways situation through the facebook page public communication medium:

Natural Living Advocate RAIDED for Housing Violations - Eustace Conway
| When the acclaimed wildlife artist Sallie Middleton met Eustace Conway, she described him as the most interesting man I have ever met. Although Conway holds degrees in English and anthropology, he describes nature as his classroom.
Like Henry David Thoreau, Conway is a committed individualist who cherishes his communion with life and nature. He has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, canoed the Mississippi River, backpacked across thousands of miles in North and Central America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
He spent 17 years living in an Indian Tipi, worn buckskin clothes he made himself, and treated his own serious injuries using plant medicine.
Should it come as any surprise to us that such a resourceful and fiercely independent man, committed to self-sufficiency and living off the grid, would come into conflict with bureaucrats who live to regiment other people's lives? Today we have the privilege of letting Mr. Conway describe his ongoing struggle to retain possession of the Turtle Island Preserve near Boone, North Carolina.

First 10 Minutes of Reconvergence
Reconvergence is a 2012 documentary film directed by Edward Tyndall featuring the lives and views of four characters: naturalist Eustace Conway, scientist Preston Estep, historian Waite Rawls, and poet Caleb Whitaker. The film features a wide exploration of their views on history, memory, consciousness, and the changes wrought by technologies. The film screened at various American film festivals and was distributed by Mobius Films.
Conway runs the 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) Turtle Island Preserve near Boone, North Carolina and advocates a back-to-nature way of life. Estep is a Harvard scientist and discusses the impact of modern recording technologies on memory and mortality. Rawls is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Museum of the Confederacy, and presents his odyssey to discover the true sound of the infamous rebel yell, which was used by Confederate soldiers in battle. Whitaker is a poet and beat-generation enthusiast whose journey into the Amazon rainforest in search of psychotropic enlightenment follows in the footsteps of his predecessors William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

SUMMARY
=======
A timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) encompasses the ingenuity and innovative advancements of the United States within a historical context, dating from the era of the Cold War, which have been achieved by inventors who are either native-born or naturalized citizens of the United States. Copyright protection secures a person's right to his or her first-to-invent claim of the original invention in question, highlighted in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution which gives the following enumerated power to the United States Congress:
In 1641, the first patent in North America was issued to Samuel Winslow by the General Court of Massachusetts for a new method of making salt. On April 10, 1790, President George Washington signed the Patent Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 109) into law which proclaimed that patents were to be authorized for any useful art, manufacture, engine, machine, or device, or any improvement therein not before known or used. On July 31, 1790, Samuel Hopkins of Pittsford, Vermont became the first person in the United States to file and to be granted a patent for an improved method of Making Pot and Pearl Ashes. The Patent Act of 1836 (Ch. 357, 5 Stat. 117) further clarified United States patent law to the extent of establishing a patent office where patent applications are filed, processed, and granted, contingent upon the language and scope of the claimant's invention, for a patent term of 14 years with an extension of up to an additional 7 years. However, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 (URAA) changed the patent term in the United States to a total of 20 years, effective for patent applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, thus bringing United States patent law further into conformity with international patent law. The modern-day provisions of the law applied to inventions are laid out in Title 35 of the United States Code (Ch. 950, sec. 1, 66 Stat. 792).
From 1836 to 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a total of 7,861,317 patents relating to several well-known inventions appearing throughout the timeline below. Some examples of patented inventions between the years 1946 and 1991 include William Shockley's transistor (1947), John Blankenbaker's personal computer (1971), Vinton Cerf's and Robert Kahn's Internet protocol/TCP (1973), and Martin Cooper's mobile phone (1973).

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION LEAVE COMMENT DOWN BELOW.
Big Talbot Island State Park is a state park in Florida, United States. It is located on Big Talbot Island, 20 miles east of downtown Jacksonville on A1A North and immediately north of Little Talbot Island State Park along the Atlantic coastal plain.
The park is a nature preserve and a location for nature study, bird-watching, or photography. Other activities include hiking, bicycling, fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and picnicking. Amenities include picnic pavilions, nature trails, a fishing pier, a boat ramp, bike trails and beaches. The park is open from 8:00 am till sundown year round.
The coastal landscape and beach at Big Talbot Island is unique within the state of Florida for its rock-like sedimentary hardpan soil deposits underlying the surface. Where these formations are exposed in the shallow waters surrounded the island they provide habitat for molluscs, crabs, oysters, and other tide pool creatures. The formations and sand on Blackrock Beach are much darker in contrast to the coquina formations at Washington Oaks State Gardens, about 60 miles southward on the coastal highway A1A, and the limestone outcroppings at Blowing Rocks Preserve over 250 miles further south. The beach can be accessed through the park entrance or through the trailhead parking area adjacent to the Blackrock Trail. At the end of the Blackrock Trail is Boneyard Beach. Here, skeletons of oaks sit along the shoreline. Big Talbot's Boneyard Beach is not recommended for swimming but is popular with photographers.[1][2][3]
Big Talbot and Little Talbot are two of only a few remaining undeveloped barrier islands within Florida. They were first inhabited by a Native American group called the Timucua. Beginning with the arrival of the French in 1562, France, England, and Spain claimed the islands as colonial territory. In 1735, General James Oglethorpe named the Talbot Islands in honor of Charles Talbot, Lord High Chancellor of England. Along with the bordering Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, the islands are representative of several ecosystems and support a number of diverse natural habitats abundant with wildlife.

SUMMARY
=======
For decades in the U.S., there have been isolated incidents of removal of Confederate monuments and memorials, although generally opposed in public opinion polls, and several U.S. States have passed laws over 115 years to hinder or prohibit further removals.
In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015, several municipalities in the United States removed monuments and memorials on public property dedicated to the Confederate States of America. The momentum accelerated in August 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The removals were driven by the belief that the monuments glorify white supremacy and memorialize a treasonous government whose founding principle was the perpetuation and expansion of slavery. Many of those who object to the removals, like President Trump, believe that the artifacts are part of the cultural heritage of the United States.The vast majority of these Confederate monuments were built during the era of Jim Crow laws (1877–1954) and the Civil Rights Movement (1954–1968). Detractors claim that they were not built as memorials but as a means of intimidating African Americans and reaffirming white supremacy. The monuments have thus become highly politicized; according to Eleanor Harvey, a senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and a scholar of Civil War history: If white nationalists and neo-Nazis are now claiming this as part of their heritage, they have essentially co-opted those images and those statues beyond any capacity to neutralize them again.In some Southern states, state law restricts or prohibits altogether the removal or alteration of public Confederate monuments. According to Stan Deaton, senior historian at the Georgia Historical Society, These laws are the Old South imposing its moral and its political views on us forever more. This is what led to the Civil War, and it still divides us as a country. We have competing visions not only about the future but about the past.
