The town of Hiddenite was incorporated in 1913 but its charter was repealed in 1919. Hiddenite was named for William Earl Hidden 1853-1918 a mineralogist sent to North Carolina by Thomas Edison to look for platinum. Hidden discovered the gem that came to be known as "hiddenite" in 1879 in mines nearby. Until recently it was found only in Alexander County North Carolina but in recent decades it has been subsequently found in Madagascar and Brazil. The Hiddenite Gem Mines and surrounding areas also yield emeralds sapphires and many other precious stones. Sluicing and digging for precious gems is a popular recreational activity that draws many visitors to the area.<br/> Prior to the arrival of W.E. Hidden the community was known as White Plains; this is how the area appears on a map of 1871. Hiddenite was once noted as a health resort because of its sulfur springs.

Regarding NATO For more than 40 years the ATOMAL Agreement has served as the framework within which NATO and the other NATO members that have become parties to this agreement have received the information that is necessary to an understanding and knowledge of and participation in the political and strategic consensus upon which the collective military capacity of the Alliance depends. This agreement permits only the transfer of atomic information not weapons nuclear material or equipment. This is important for the cohesiveness of the Alliance and will enhance its effectiveness. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea SOLAS is an international maritime treaty which requires Signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with minimum safety standards in construction equipment and operation. The first version of SOLAS was passed in 1914 in response to the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It prescribed numbers of lifeboats and other emergency equipment along with safety procedures including continuous radio watches. The 1914 treaty never entered into force due to the outbreak of the First World War. Further versions were adopted in 1929 and 1948. The current version of the SOLAS Convention is the 1974 version known as SOLAS 1974 which came into force on 25 May 1980. As of March 2016 SOLAS 1974 has 162 contracting States which flag about 99% of merchant ships around the world in terms of gross tonnage. The SOLAS Convention in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships. The main objective of the SOLAS Convention is to specify minimum standards for the construction equipment and operation of ships compatible with their safety. Flag States are responsible for ensuring that ships under their flag comply with its requirements and a number of certificates are prescribed in the Convention as proof that this has been done. Control provisions also allow Contracting Governments to inspect ships of other Contracting States if there are clear grounds for believing that the ship and its equipment do not substantially comply with the requirements of the Convention - this procedure is known as port State control. The current SOLAS Convention includes Articles setting out general obligations amendment procedure and so on followed by an Annex divided into 12 Chapters. In 1953 the President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed the creation of an international body to both regulate and promote the peaceful use of atomic power nuclear power in his Atoms for Peace address to the UN General Assembly.23 In September 1954 the United States proposed to the General Assembly the creation of an international agency to take control of fissile material which could be used either for nuclear power or for nuclear weapons. This agency would establish a kind of "nuclear bank." The United States also called for an international scientific conference on all of the peaceful aspects of nuclear power. By November 1954 it had become clear that the Soviet Union would reject any international custody of fissile material if the United States did not agree to a disarmament first but that a clearing house for nuclear transactions might be possible. From 8 to 20 August 1955 the United Nations held the International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva Switzerland. In October 1956 a Conference on the IAEA Statute was held at the Headquarters of the United Nations to approve the founding document for the IAEA which was negotiated in 1955-1956 by a group of twelve countries.2 The Statute of the IAEA was approved on 23 October 1956 and came into force on 29 July 1957.
