White Raven 

A White Raven is a rare, intentional life event where a person deliberately makes a radical and transformative change that breaks away from stability and societal expectations. Unlike unexpected disasters or crises, a White Raven is a self-chosen leap into uncertainty and personal reinvention, often reshaping identity, values, and life direction in profound ways.

Whitehaven 

Whitehaven is a small town on coast in the North West of England, in the county of Cumbria. It has a vast (often marinal) history, expecially in rum smuggling, coal mining, and is famous as the last place in England to be invaded. Every four years, the town holds a Maritime Festival that attracts many tourists to the town for the various festival attractions.
The square layout of Whitehaven has led many historians to believe it to have been the inspiration for the layout of New York City. Also, George Washington's grandmother is reputed to be buried in the centre church of the town.

Whitehaven 

Where the jam is eaten in quantities so high and with such ferocity that Hartley’s, Bonne Maman and Wilkin & Sons year on year report the highest quantity of jam eaten per person per square mile than anywhere else on earth.

The IJSO (international jam standards organisation) created a new metric unit of measurement called the Whitehaven. Much like Farads, a 1 Whitehaven is an enormous value. It is used to rank jam per person per square mile. Other towns are usually measured in tiny fractions of a whitehaven such as micro or pico whitehavens and have the measure pW or mW.

Jam factories worldwide have a production per year that equates to 1 (one) GigaWhitehaven.

Any excess jam in is shipped to Whitehaven where the good townspeople ramp up consumption ans not to let any go to waste. Afterwards a new measure is taken for the coming year.

There means there is always exactly as much jam across existing reserves and planned production to keep Whitehaven going for exactly one year financial year.
“This jam has mouldy toast in it, should I throw it away?” - literally anyone

“Nah giz it ‘ere ey arl scran it nee bovva” - someone from Whitehaven
