Registered Phenomena Code: 425
Object Class: Alpha-Orange
Hazard Types: Sapient Hazard, Auditory Hazard, Grouped Hazard, Mind-Control Hazard
Containment Protocols: Due to the widespread knowledge of the existence of RPC-425 instances 1-3, primary Authority containment is not to be focused on restraining the individuals in question, but on ensuring that their anomalous properties are kept under constant observation. MST India-8 ("Super Fans") are to be present at any and all public appearances made by instances of RPC-425. In order to prevent exposure of RPC-425's anomalous properties to on-location personnel, Authority personnel are to be outfitted with audio-canceling headphones.
Should an instance of RPC-425 begin to display awareness of their anomalous properties and attempt to use them for personal gain, on-location MST members are instructed to report this to the nearest Authority site immediately so that further action (possibly resulting in the termination of the instance) may be taken with proper caution and appropriate resources.
Although the current state of RPC-425 1-3 prevents the anomalies from being fully contained, Authority agents are in negotiations with representatives of Akanishin Entertainment (who currently own the likenesses and brand of the instances in question) regarding transference of all RPC-425 instances into Authority care.
Description: RPC-425 refers to a group of three humanoid entities, designated RPC-425-1 to RPC-425-3. Each instance takes the form of a Japanese female, between the ages of 19-21 years old. Although they are classified as a grouped hazard, each individual instance of RPC-425 has been noted to possess varying physical and behavioral characteristics.
The anomalous properties of an instance of RPC-425 stem from their ability to manipulate the thoughts and actions of any individual who listens to them sing in any regard (including listening to recordings or over live feeds) as long as their commands are given through the lyrics of the song. Individuals who are given a command in this way experience an extremely strong mental compulsion to perform the orders given to them by instances of RPC-425. Regardless of whether or not the individual is able to resist this mental compulsion, the affected person's body will often move against their will to perform the actions outlined by an instance of RPC-425. This compulsion will continue until the instance ceases singing, after which the affected individual will be freed from the anomaly's control.
All three known instances of RPC-425 have been known to be affiliated with "Three Melody", a musical group reminiscent of the 'Idol' trend of Japanese culture, owned by the Akanishin Entertainment Company1. Due to this affiliation, the anomalous effects of RPC-425 instances can often affect large groups of civilians during performances.
Display Partial Transcript of Document 425-094
The following is a partial list of identified lyrics in songs performed by an instance of RPC-425 that were noted to have an affect on the crowd. Further examples can be found in the full document, currently archived at Site-██.
Lyrics Sung by RPC-425 Instance Noted Effect on Civilian Population
"Jump Up! Clap Your Hands!" All present civilians attempted to jump into the air and begin clapping their hands. It is worth noting that this compulsion applied to observed individuals who were physically unable to perform the given actions, and some were injured attempting to do so.
"Share The Rhythm" All affected civilians attempted to obtain recordings of performances by RPC-425 instances through various means, including taking video via available technology or purchasing recordings from Akanishin Entertainment.
"Come To My Embrace" Immediately after the verse was complete, all present civilians attempted to charge the stage where the RPC-425 instances were performing. Although the crowd was restrained by armed security before reaching the anomalies, severe damage was noted to the set and venue. Authority plants observed that Akanishin Entertainment Co. later reimbursed the venue for damages caused as a result. The song containing these lyrics has not been performed again by any instance of RPC-425 following the original event.
Although they possess anomalous traits, all RPC-425 instances involved in the group retain the status and practices of a typical entertainer and have never been observed using their abilities outside of during performances. It is currently hypothesized that the instances of RPC-425 are unaware of their own anomalous properties.
Because the current title and nature of RPC-425's instances means they are generally in custody of an entertainment company, the Authority has previously attempted permanent containment of the three RPC-425 instances by purchasing the license and ownership of the group using the funds and resources of front company 'Fun Times International Amusements'. Authority agent ██████, posing as a purchase negotiator for the front company, attempted to propose transition of ownership between the Authority and Akanishin Entertainment.
From: Samuel Cho, Message Filtering Department, Akanishin Entertainment Company
To: ██████, Acquisition Department, Fun Times International Amusements
Re: 'Three Melody' Acquisition Proposal
Dear Mr. ██████,
Thank you for contacting Akanishin Entertainment. In order to most effectively filter proposals and respond to those that demand immediate attention as quickly as possible, all messages for the board of directors must be approved by an in-between party such as myself.
I regret to inform you that your request to acquire the license and care responsibilities for 'Three Melody' has been denied. Although your financial offer and ability to ensure the health and performance of the group's members do meet the company's standards of treatment for the stars, Akanishin Entertainment would prefer to continue the current contract that we have with the members of 'Three Melody' for an indefinite period of time.
Should you be interested in purchasing the license to one of our other groups, do not hesitate to reach out again. I wish you the best of luck in your future acquisition endeavors.
Samuel Cho, Filtering Service, Akanishin Entertainment Company
Following this message, Samuel Cho was promptly taken into Authority custody for questioning. This questioning session revealed that Mr. Cho was hired as a temporary worker for the purpose of filtering and rejecting proposals regarding the acquisition of 'Three Melody'.
According to the subject, Mr. Cho was not given an exact reason why all requests regarding 'Three Melody' were to be refused, only that the company had no interest in relinquishing the rights or care of the three individuals, regardless of the proposal. Mr. Cho was determined to possess no knowledge of the anomalous properties of the RPC-425 instances or Akanishin Entertainment that did not pertain to his work and was promptly released from Authority custody.
Due to the unclear reasoning and apparent desire of Akanishin Entertainment's board of directors to keep all instances of RPC-425 under their ownership, Authority researchers suspect that the directors of the company may be aware of the anomalous properties of the instances. Investigation into the identities and possible GOI connections of Akanishin Entertainment is ongoing.
Access 425-1 Interview Log
With cooperation from on-location plants and entertainment venues, Dr. Midler, under the guise of a reporter for ██████ Magazine, has successfully been able to interview RPC-425-1 in an attempt to understand more about the instances and their affiliation with Akanishin Entertainment.
Interviewed: RPC-425-1
Interviewer: Dr. Midler
Foreword: The following interview was conducted immediately following a performance by 'Three Melody', as Dr. Midler used a press pass to gain access to the backstage area and secure one instance of RPC-425 (considered 425-1) to question.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Midler This is Jeff Midler reporting for ██████ Online Magazine. I'm here with the lead vocalist for 'Three Melody', who's been kind enough to answer some questions for us.
RPC-425-1: Hello! My name is Keiko! It's great to speak with you tonight! Did you enjoy the show?
Dr. Midler: Absolutely. It's well-known that you girls put on a captivating performance. But rather than discuss the stage, I'd like to talk with you about the origins of 'Three Melody'. Is that alright?
RPC-425-1: Of course! I might not know everything about all three of us, but I'll try my best!
Dr. Midler: Excellent. Let's begin. Tell me, how did the idea of becoming an idol originally spring up?
RPC-425-1: Well, I don't know about the other girls, but this has always been a dream of mine! My parents were actually sound and lighting technicians for idol concerts, so they usually brought me along whenever they had to go to work. The other people there were kind enough to give me a seat in the concert area while they went to work backstage, and so I liked watching the older girls on stage dance and sing.
Dr. Midler: And this led to you wanting to become one?
RPC-425-1: Yeah! I always loved the way that they seemed to work together as a group to make so many people happy. I thought that if I was to become an idol one day, maybe I could make people happy like that too. So when I heard that some nearby companies were looking for new girls, I did everything I could to qualify.
Dr. Midler: Is that how you ended up with Akanishin Entertainment?
RPC-425-1: Yep! They were the first company to respond, and I wasn't sure if I would get another chance, so I went for it! I met with the manager of the company, and then everything was settled!
Dr. Midler: The manager? Interesting. Could you tell me more about that meeting?
RPC-425-1: Well, truthfully, I don't remember much about it. I can't even remember what he looked like. He was really nice, though- said a lot about how I was the 'perfect candidate' for the lead of the group and that I'd be a star for sure!
Dr. Midler: Are you sure you can't remember what he looked like? How do you not know if he's your manager?
RPC-425-1: Well, it was sort of dark, and I didn't get a good look. He told me he doesn't really like crowds, so he gets the work done before they show up. Most of the time he lets us know about our schedules by e-mail and has other people handle everything. I can't tell if he's lazy or hard-working.
Dr. Midler: Alright. What happened after you signed the contract?
RPC-425-1: Well, we went down to the shared house, where I live and practice with the other girls, and we all met for the first time. The manager told us to relax for the night but to prepare for the next few days because there would be a lot of 'adjustments' that needed to be done before we were ready for our performance.
Dr. Midler: 'Adjustments'? Did anything change over those next days?
RPC-425-1: Well, no, not really. The first day, we started practicing our dance steps, getting fitted for costumes, memorizing the songs, all that. I had asked about vocal training, but the people taking care of us said that there wasn't really much need for it.
Dr. Midler: Do you have any idea why that might be?
RPC-425-1: I don't know- but we really don't do much vocal practice. Our caretakers always say our voices are 'absolutely captivating' but won't let us make them even better- weird, right?
Dr. Midler: Intriguingly so. Tell me, Keiko, how do you get along with the other girls?
RPC-425-1: Well, I like to think we're good friends. I used to argue with Ai (referred to as RPC-425-3 by the Authority) a lot, because I thought she was mean, but recently we've been getting along a lot better. I think she's finally starting to like being an idol!
Dr. Midler: I see. Well, that's all the questions we have for you. Thank you for your time, R….Keiko.
RPC-425-1: No problem!
<End Log>
Although permission was given for Dr. Midler to attempt contact with all instances of RPC-425, the two instances not yet spoken with were promptly escorted out of the backstage area by on-location staff working for Akanishin Entertainment. It has been assumed that this was done intentionally to prevent access to these instances by Dr. Midler. Authority suspicions regarding a connection between the anomalous properties of RPC-425 instances and Akanishin Entertainment have grown as a result.
Addendum: On October 27, 20██ approximately 2:41 AM EST, Authority plants working in Akanishin Entertainment's information technology department were able to intercept a message to the company's board of directors from a currently unknown location. The message has been determined to be regarding the three RPC-425 instances currently under Akanishin Entertainment's control.
Display Intercepted Message Regarding RPC-425 Instances
カワイイ株式会社
As expected, our test run of the new Type-S-247 models has been a resounding success. We are making a tremendous profit due to their popularity, and everything we sell greatly outweighs what we pay for maintaining their care. With the news of this tremendous gain, integration of more refined products into high-paying fields is under strong consideration. More profitable uses for vocal cord manipulation are under consideration as well. You have our thanks for assisting with the latest product testing, and believe the massive profit spike thanks to these new products should serve as incentive enough to continue our agreements. Your work as a middle ground between our products and the general public is greatly appreciated.
Should you experience any problems with any Type-S-247 regarding behavior, do not hesitate to send them to a nearby education center for reconditioning. The process used on S-247-003 has been noted as extremely effective. In addition, further refined Type-S-247 instances are in development in case replacements for members of 'Three Melody' are required. Instances that have worn out their use can also be returned to us for implementation in other practices as needed.
Our agreement with your company has been renewed, so long as you can continue providing financial gain to both of us. We eagerly await your next financial report.
-Division Manager
Examination of this message has suggested that Akanishin Entertainment serves as a 'front company' allowing the group behind the creation of the RPC-425 instances under their care to expose the public to anomalous beings. Due to the nature of RPC-425 instances as well as the information discussed in the message, the anomalies are believed to be products created by GOI-021 'Kabushiki Kawaii'. A major examination of Akanishin Entertainment regarding their presumed business deals with GOI-021 is underway.

Album Review: "Confetti" by Little Mix
Allison Beatty
Girl group Little Mix has been cranking out hits since their formation in 2011, and their latest studio album, "Confetti," carries the same energy. Their powerful voices and strong beats blend together nicely to produce an album that emerges onto the music scene with force.
"Confetti" is the group's sixth studio album. Comprised of four members, Little Mix is one of the best-selling female musical groups of all time, having sold over 50 million records worldwide. They were formed on the show "The X Factor," much like other popular bands such as One Direction. But with six albums and six tours under their belt, Little Mix isn't slowing down or stopping anytime soon.
Many of the songs on "Confetti" sound rather similar, which is no surprise, as Little Mix, like many bands, tends to have their own signature sound: very pop powerhouse. This is not necessarily a bad thing to have similar-sounding songs; it all depends on the listener's preference. But "Confetti" does offer a couple of unique tunes that definitely stand out from the rest of the track list, most notably, one particularly slow ballad called "My Love Won't Let You Down," and another pop track called "Break Up Song" that sounded like it was straight out of the '80s with its musical influences.
All in all, "Confetti" is a pretty good album, especially for pre-existing fans of Little Mix. If you're new to the group or are in a musical rut, however, "Confetti" might be good for that, too. With the sampling selected, it would serve as a decent introduction to the group. Check it out wherever you get your music!

A campaign to introduce Sheffield diners to new restaurants - and fill eatery tables during the week - is set to return on an expanded basis.
Dine Sheffield, which ran for a week for the first time last summer, is back between March 15-29.
The initiative from Sheffield BID works as restaurants signed up to the scheme then offer bespoke menus, with prices from just £5.
Diners then download vouchers for the restaurant they wish to visit.
Sheffield chocolatier Max Scotford has been nominated for a Yorkshire wide award - less than two years after starting up.
The Kelham Island based businessman is in the running for the Garbutt + Elliott Yorkshire Food Entrepreneurs Awards, alongside 28 other businesses.
The inaugural awards, which are organised by Yorkshire accountancy firm Garbutt + Elliott, recognise the best among the county's food and drink producers and retailer.
"Bullion Chocolate has shown its ability to navigate the world of business and thrive in an entrepreneurial and notoriously competitive sector", said managing partner, Russell Turner.
The awards take place on March 7.

Over 100 feeder buses to complement MRT service
Along with the start of the MRT Phase 1 service tomorrow, feeder buses as well as Park-and-Ride facilities will be operational. A total of 107 feeder buses will service 25 routes originating from each MRT station to popular locations such as KL Sentral and Subang Airport as well as residential areas such as Bukit Rahman Putra and SS22 Damansara Jaya. With the fare set at RM1, the bus is equipped with a cash ticketing system and Touch 'N Go. It is hoped that the feeder bus service will encourage people to leave their cars at home and walk to the nearest bus stop. On top of the new feeder buses, Rapid KL buses will service passengers who wish to travel from Phileo Damansara, Pusat Bandar Damansara and Semantan stations to KL Sentral and Bangsar LRT station. It will cost RM4.30 per entry for cars and RM1.10 per entry for motorcycles into each park-and-ride facility. Almost all park-and-ride facilities will use Touch 'n Go only except for the Bandar Utama station, which will have a cash payment option. (The Star Online)
Country Garden JV to launch Forest City
One of China's top real estate developers, Country Garden, has partnered with Johor's Esplanade Danga 88 Sdn Bhd in a joint venture (JV) to launch its latest project, Forest City, with a GDV of US$100 billion (RM441 billion). Based on the concepts of green and smart, Forest City is one of the biggest investment projects by Country Garden in cooperation with top global teams, including Sasaki, Huawei, Arup, Accenture and G-Energy Global, to create a prime model of a future city. The project, located in Johor, adopts a multi-layered design and features vertical greening facades and parks without vehicles. It is Country Garden's third project in Malaysia, after Danga Bay in Johor and Diamond City, Semenyih. American school Shattuck St Mary, Taiwan's MJ healthcare group and luxury flagship store Secoo from China are expected to open in Forest City. (The Edge Markets)
Gamuda, IJM and WCT likely to gain from HSR link
Gamuda Bhd, IJM Corp Bhd and WCT Holdings Bhd are among the local construction giants to benefit from the bilateral agreement for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high speed rail (HSR) project. It may still be early to work out the size of contracts for local contractors, the theme remains relevant to domestic rail players in our coverage such as Gamuda, IJM Corp and WCT. The HSR lines in Singapore and Malaysia are to be linked by a bridge over the Straits of Johor. A joint-development partner (JDP) will be appointed in early 2017 to assist in the overall implementation of the project. The JDP will provide advice on operational, technical and procurement matters relating to the HSR systems and operations, and is likely to be a reputable international HSR expert. The mammoth project is estimated to cost between RM40bil to RM65bil. (The Star Online)

PKNS development arm opens RM4.5mil sales gallery
The Selangor State Development Corporation's (PKNS) premium development arm, DatumCorp International, has launched its sales gallery at Jalan U Thant, Kuala Lumpur which will feature its first development, Datum Jelatek — an award-winning RM1.2bil GDV integrated development. The RM4.5mil sales gallery will showcase its first project, Datum Jelatek, from the Datum Series, a collection of mid-to-high-end commercial, residential, retail and mixed property developments. Located 3.5km away from KLCC, the development is directly connected to the Jelatek LRT station. It comprises 708 residential units spread across four towers, and linked to a four-storey retail mall. The entire development is targeted to be completed in Q2 2019. (The Star Online)
Electricity tariff rebates for consumers to stay
The Government is keeping the electricity tariff rebate at 1.52 sen/kWh in the peninsula and 1.20 sen/kWh in Sabah and Labuan for the Jan 1-June 30 period next year. It would also forego the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) cost savings of RM766.33mil through an electricity tariff rebate of 1.52 sen/kWh for all users in the peninsula, except for those with a monthly electricity consumption of below 300kW/h. For Sabah and Labuan, a rebate of 1.20 sen/kWh would also be given to users in the same category. With the rebate retention, users will not be paying higher electricity bills if their total electricity consumption remains unchanged. (The Star Online)
Gadang expecting a busy year ahead
Construction and property development firm Gadang Holdings Bhd is expecting next year to be a relatively busy one, after a significant lull in obtaining new contracts. The company, which counts construction as its bread and butter business, is expecting to obtain some jobs that it had earlier bid for – by the first quarter of 2017. It is understood that one of these jobs involves the construction of a hospital. The company is also banking on more jobs from the MRT2 project next year, following its experience with the first phase of the MRT project. The RM9bil LRT Line 3 project is another project it hopes to tender for in the coming year. (The Star Online)

FEC Record: Regulations
Commission seeks public comment on candidate compensation from campaign funds
On December 12, 2022, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that seeks public comment on proposed changes to regulations regarding candidate compensation paid by principal campaign committees.
The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits authorized committees from converting campaign funds to personal use, meaning they cannot fulfill any commitment or expense of a person that would exist irrespective of a candidate's election campaign or duties as a federal officeholder. Commission regulations presently allow candidates to receive a salary from their campaigns under limited circumstances. The salary must not exceed the lesser of the minimum annual salary for the federal office sought or the earned income that candidate received during the year prior to becoming a candidate. As a result, candidates may receive salary payments from campaign funds only if they earned income the year prior to becoming a candidate.
NPRM
On March 23, 2021, the Commission received a Petition for Rulemaking asking it to amend 11 CFR 113.1(g) to expand the category of candidates eligible to receive compensation from committees, extend the duration of their eligibility, change the calculation of compensation that candidates may receive, and to authorize the use of campaign funds to pay candidates' health insurance premiums. After considering comments on the Notification of Availability, the Commission seeks comments on proposed changes to its regulations regarding the use of campaign funds to pay compensation to the candidate.
Because current FEC regulations might not adequately cover individuals who had a gap in employment or an unusually low level of income the year before becoming a candidate, the Commission is seeking comment on six alternative ways to cap the amount of compensation that a candidate could receive from campaign funds.
The NPRM also seeks comment on three alternative definitions of candidate compensation at proposed 11 CFR 113.1(g)(6)(iii). Each alternative definition would include direct payments to the candidate and payments for at least some other employment related benefits.
Public comments on the NPRM are due by February 10, 2023. Commenters are encouraged to submit comments electronically (reference REG 2021-01) via the Commission's website. The Commission may hold a public hearing on this NPRM; commenters who wish to testify at a hearing must so indicate in their comments.

These are nervous times for the Grievance Industry of the Left in America. Despite the noisy efforts of the partisan liberal media howling "impeachment", Hollywood's woke prophets and Maxine Watters' strenuous calls for mob action, its hold on assumed voting blocks seems to be eroding.
Polling done by the NAACP— clearly no friend to president Donald Trump— has support for Trump in the black community at 21 percent. That compares to the eight percent who voted for Trump in November 2016. And the NAACP number is a happy one for Dems. Polling by Rasmussen— who called the 2016 election best— has Trump getting 36 percent of black support in America.
Similar numbers appear in the Latino community, where— like the black community— their leadership has tried to keep them on the reservation with ever more strident claims of racism and cultural genocide at the border— while ignoring great economic numbers..
When you consider that the Democrats need at least 90 percent of the black vote to have even a slight chance at winning back the White House you can see why the Progressive rhetoric is being torqued ever higher by the people who saw Hillary Clinton blow a "sure thing" in 2016.
It's no surprise that the Left is lashing back against this assault on their house. It also explains the delirious excitement on the Left about two former Trump associates being found guilty or pleading guilty to various commercial crimes. Impeachment is at hand, they cry. Finally we have him!
In short, this legal thicket too will be subsumed in the news churn of Washington— particularly if the current investigations into the upper echelons of Obama's administration (and their media buddies) reflect the reported scheming between spies, Fusion GPS and security officials that has emerged in the non-progressive press.
If citizens discover that CIA/ FBI and DOJ officials created "insurance policies" to pervert an election the virtue seekers of the Left will need to really shore up their support among the traditional Democrat voting blocks— blacks, Latinos, immigrants and the young. The narratives of cultural entitlement and white supremacy will be cranked up to eleven on the noise meter.
What we will get is another broadside from the cultural and political leadership of the Left to support the planks holding up the Great Liberal Society. Hollywood will take time out from making gun-riddled movies (while decrying guns) to lecture Americans at the Oscars and Grammys. Prominent millionaire athletes will take a knee between tackles to note the troubled history of blacks in America. Hillary Clinton will be Hillary Clinton.
A tortured rendering of history will be employed to scare the Kanyes and Candace Owens back onto the reservation. For LeBron James and the BLM crowd, anything slavery-related from the last 200 years will be part of the grievance agenda.
For the secular Barack Obama, who's none-too-sympathetic to Israel, the moral equivalence meter will stretch back to the Crusades in 1000 AD when Christians invaded the Middle East in a religious Crusade against the resident Muslim population.
For radical feminists, the back-alley abortion meme will be make a comeback. For eco warriors, redwoods chopped down by Teddy Roosevelt will be as fresh as yesterday if they get people to the polls. Nothing, seemingly, can erase this shame in the Left's eyes.
How about the Dixiecrat Dems who created, nourished and enforced Jim Crow segregation until the 1970s? Don't hold your breath waiting for the KKK Grand Wizard, senator Robert Byrd, having his name removed from statues, highways and buildings in West Virginia.
So go ahead, ask your progressive friends: What is the statute of limitations on crimes real or perceived? A hundred yers? Ten years? Ten minutes? The Catholic Church lets you go to confession to expunge sin, but the secular church is fuzzy on just what constitutes forgiveness.
It couldn't be as simple as friends get a pass while mean capitalists are always guilty? Could it?
Let's Play "Whose Statue Gets Taken Down?"


A lawsuit recently filed by a Jacksonville family whose daughter was shot and killed outside her apartment, sheds light on the responsibility landlords and business owners have in providing their customers and tenants with safe premises. This duty not only extends to preventing slip, trip and falls on the property- but also ensuring safety from attacks by criminals.
Landlords are required to exercise reasonable care when it comes to the safety of their tenants and others invited upon their premises. When landlords are negligent in maintaining the security in the apartments or condominiums they own, this negligence can put the tenants in a seriously dangerous situation and can result in injury, even death.
The lawsuit filed in the 4th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, alleges that the daughter's landlord failed to exercise a reasonable standard of care that would have kept their daughter and other tenants, invitees, and the public safe. The family is requesting a jury trial and unspecified damages.
This case involves negligent security law, which applies to any property owner as to the standard of care that owner must exercise with respect to people who are invited to come onto their property. Negligent security law applies to owners of apartment complexes and condominiums, as well as cruise lines, hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
A business owner must provide their customers safe premises, which includes keeping the property and building up to code to avoid injuries and ensuring that the customers are safe from criminal attack. This standard includes apartment owners and the care they owe to their tenants. For example, landlords must make sure that the premises have adequate lighting and security. This includes ensuring that all broken doors and gates are fixed to keep the area secure, especially if the area is known to be one where criminal activity is common.
Parking lots are also common areas that are notoriously dangerous. Many times, not having proper security cameras in place or not properly maintained landscaping can make them even more dangerous. The duty of care can depend on where the premises are located. For instance, if they are in a high-crime area, the landlord will need to use more heightened security measures to protect its tenants. Measures such as locks, fences or gates, security cameras, even security guards could be needed.
An example where heightened security measures were necessary, involves a past case where a 13-year-old girl was shot and fatally wounded by a bullet after shots were fired from the outside into the apartment where she lived. The case brought out facts that showed that the apartment complex had been the subject of many police calls involving burglary, battery, armed robbery and even incidents where bullets were shot into apartments just three months before the young girl was killed. Despite all of this, the apartment complex did nothing to control the perimeter to the apartment and did not have security guards protecting the area. The case settled for $1.75 million at mediation.

When traveling abroad, the most important things that need to be taken care of are the place where you stay that gives total comfort. We want to have a comfortable hotel with conducive and luxurious room to stay in which also gives extra touch from beautiful scenery or authentic surroundings that only the best hotels offer. In Switzerland, such top notch hotels are part of a group of hotels called Typically Swiss Hotels . Typically Swiss hotels has it all, it is no empty promise, but rather the badge of honor for a hotel experience to be had only in Switzerland. From the services that gives more personal touch, an atmosphere that is authentic with beautiful interior design in a breathtaking location, to the food or cuisine and culture of the regional area that is surprisingly down to earth. You have many choices of which hotels you rather want to stay during your travel and vacation because it comes with different sizes and all types of locations such as urban areas and the rural mountains. The one that catches my attention is the Hotel Glockenhof. It is a four-star establishment with 91 new design rooms which made from highest materials to meet the standards of Swiss hotels and the place is ideally located right in the heart of Zurich. It is just a short walk away from the famous Bahnhofstrasse and the shores of idyllic Lake Zurich. Whether they are business travelers or holiday makers, all guests there are assured friendly, personal service by the dedicated service team. This is a good place to explore the mountains as well as the nature in general. You should check out these hotels when you plan for a vacation in Switzerland.

John was born on March 9, 1495, in Portugal. Impetuous throughout his life, he ran away from home at age eight to travel to Spain with a visiting priest. There, a new family educated him and taught him to be a shepherd. In 1522, he joined the Spanish army. During the war against France, he fell from a horse near the enemy camp. Stunned by the accident, he begged the Virgin Mary for help. Eventually, he found his way back to his troops, but was later accused of stealing by his comrades and barely escaped being hanged.
After learning that his real mother was dead and his father had become a Franciscan monk, John resolved to make reparation for his sins. Eager to help others, he traveled to Africa, where Christians were being persecuted.
On the advice of a Franciscan monk, John returned to Spain. One day he experienced a vision of the child Jesus calling him "John of God" and telling him to go to Granada. In Granada, he heard John of Avila preach about the joy of those who suffer for Christ. Overcome, John became deranged and had to be institutionalized. After he recovered, he decided to take care of the ill and destitute.
John established a hospital in Granada and, through begging, provided for the care of the sick. Because of overcrowding, he built a second and then a third hospital. During a raging fire in one hospital, John single-handedly rescued patients and helped save the building. The Bishop of Tuy granted him the name "John of God" and, as acknowledgment of his service to others, gave him a religious habit to wear. John died on his 55th birthday while praying.
to delay our service of God.
sick is to carry on Christ's vision.

Solenoid (zavojnica) je vrsta staničnog vlakna koje nastaje u procesu pakiranja molekule DNK.

Ključnu ulogu u tom procesu imaju histoni. Od osnovne jedinice pakiranja nukleosoma, koji nastaje namatanjem (1,65x do 1,8X) molekule DNK oko histonskog oktamera (tvore ga nukleosomalni histoni, 2x H2A, 2x H2B, 2x H3, 2x H4, ukupno njih osam). Nastali nukleosomi se dalje povezuju odnosno pakiraju pomoću histona H1 čime nastaje tzv. 30 nm (nanometar) - kromatinsko vlakno. Nastalo vlakno zapetljava se dalje te nastaje 300 nm -vlakno ili solenoid. Ta je duljina u biti promjer interfaznog kromosoma.

DNK pakiran u solenoide razlikuje se od DNK u nukleosomnom obliku, jer nije prepisivački aktivan. Sve većim namatanjem solenoidi stječu rastuću sposobnost većeg namatanja tvoreći kromosome. Sad već solenoidna zavojnica jedna oko druge tvori petlju, od 20 do 80.000 baznih parova, praćenu rozetom koja se sastoji od šest povezanih petlja, zatim zavojnicu i na kraju dvije kromatide. Konačni rezultatk je metafazni kromosom. Potpuno kondenzirani kromatin promjera je do 700 nm.

Rob Valetini is special. The Melbourne-born winger is as physically-gifted as any player to come through the Brumbies ranks and the game to match. When the Brumbies signed Valetini straight out of school, the hype began to grow and in 2018, Valetini was selected as a starter for Round One.
Unfortunately, he sustained an injury not long into his Brumbies debut in Japan, meaning Brumbies fans had to wait a little longer to see Valetini's talents. When he returned against the Rebels, he gave Brumbies fans a glimpse of his superior potential, picking a peach of a line to score his maiden Super Rugby try.
Valetini was struck down with injury again for the remainder of the season, but the seed had already been planted in the minds of Brumbies fans. Valetini continued his recovery with the Canberra Vikings in the NRC and will be burning to get his super Rugby career restarted in earnest in 2019.

Paradise ponders, plentiful moose edition... I spent most of the day yesterday snow-plowing and working on our paperwork, but Debbie and I did take a nice drive up Blacksmith Fork Canyon. For most of the drive we were in a snow storm, occasionally with very heavy snow falling. We saw a lot of wildlife, though we're not sure why. I lost track of the number of deer and elk we saw, including the group of does right next to the road in the photo at right. We also had four separate sightings of moose, some of which were also quite close to us.
This morning I had a notification from Tesla: the long-awaited HW2 update for my Model X is now available. Yay! It takes almost two hours to install it, and I just started that process. A little later today I'll take it for a spin and see if I can tell any difference.

Legion of Spoilers – Season 1
April 10, 2017 September 4, 2022 Trish Reyes 0 Comments
Legion's first season was a fascinating and at times even satisfying experience. Not content to be a great superhero show, it was eight hours of all-around solid television. The only other Marvel properties I can think of that even came close to Legion's emotional realism and textured villains are Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, respectively; but as much as I loved both, neither managed in 13 episodes what Legion accomplished in eight. Legion was packed with a thematic richness that left me chewing over every episode, every scene, contemplating its significance and dying to see what would happen. The second season won't air until 2018, and this already feels worse than waiting for the rest of Game of Thrones.
"And for the rest of their lives, these two stories compete: empathy and fear."
"You're gods and someday you're gonna wake up and realize you don't need to listen to us anymore."
My favorite aspect of Legion is the way it introduced the mutual fear and suspicion between mutants and non-mutants. This fear is a hallmark of X-Men storylines, and Hawley's execution does it justice. Clark's painful recovery, along with his concern for his child's safety, contextualize a fear otherwise easily dismissed as unfounded ("But the X-Men are the good guys!").
On one hand, Clark's conviction that mutants will eventually operate without regard for basic human morality depends on the (admittedly xenophobic) fallacy that powers encourage malfeasance. It's tantamount to saying that simply owning a gun will motivate a person to commit murders, or that Olympic runners will use their athleticism to abscond with non-Olympians' belongings. Clark privileges authority over agency, presuming people are incapable of respecting the vulnerable without the threat of retribution – in other words, that only the promise of Hell stands between civilization and anarchy. This assumption overlooks that it's possible to possess mutant powers without misusing them, that mutants don't choose to have powers anyway, and that non-powered people already have a pretty solid track record of hurting non-powered or less powerful people.
On the other hand, though, it's easy to get so wrapped up in rooting for our heroes that we forget non-mutants' fear of mutants is, if not reasonable, then at least understandable. Flip the script, and instead of Summerland standing against Division Three you have the Federation fighting the Eugenics Wars. The only guarantees in such conflicts are: 1) that violence is not the answer, and 2) that members of both sides – here, Clark and Ptonomy – will share the conviction that violence is the only guarantee of safety. Villains like Magneto (and to a lesser degree, Senator Kelly) are compelling because their fear is seductive. We understand why they don't think of themselves as villains even as they commit atrocities. They're only trying to protect themselves and their families. Won't someone think of the children?
With that said, I want to believe Clark was sincere in agreeing to cooperate with Summerland. When David saved him from Shadow-Kerry, Clark seemed to grasp that mutants were not united in some default anti-non-mutant coalition. Even if he doesn't relinquish his grudge against David and Summerland – and he probably won't – he's too smart to privilege it over the greater danger of The Shadow King running loose. He and D3 need David's power to defeat TSK. It would be foolish to take David out of play now.
Of course, because D3 is a government agency, this is exactly what it does. It's not stated explicitly, but that military officer (General Stanley in the credits but Stryker in my head) wouldn't reference [Chekhov's] Peacemaker and Equinox unless one was going to pay off with a gloriously bad decision. D3 probably thinks they're keeping David safely neutralized until they can deploy him against TSK, but this plan would be colossally stupid even if David's mental stability were not so tenuous. It's practically a Greek tragedy: In its quest to prevent David from becoming a danger to others, D3 manufactures the very circumstances that escalate the conflict beyond the possibility of peaceful resolution. Consider: David's healthy mental development has been sabotaged at every turn, as much by the lack of understanding around mutant powers as by TSK's parasitism. What he needed was a safe space free of malicious interference to discover who he is and how to use his powers safely. Instead, he's once again the victim of malicious interference that will keep him from achieving the very equilibrium he needs. This is a shame, because until Wheatley vacuumed him up, David seemed to share his bio-dad's conviction that mutants and non-mutants just need a little empathy to coexist.
It will be interesting to see how Legion unpacks the tension between mutants and non-mutants, between empathy and fear, as David and Summerland grapple with his imprisonment and Oliver and Shadow-Lenny pursue their road trip dramedy. Patrick Stewart has expressed in interest in appearing on Legion as David's comic-book-canon-dad, and although I would give a great deal to hear him say "We won, baby. Now gimme some sugar," it would be more interesting for the show to confront the thorny question of mutant/non-mutant coexistence without Charles Xavier's benevolent confidence. For all his anxieties, uncertainties, and imperfections, David has been the moral compass of the show. I'd like to see whether and how he balances near-omnipotence against the impulse to messianism.
"He's my man."
I'd also like to see how Melanie, Ptonomy, Syd, and Oliver respond to their respective situations. My one problem with Legion was that, outside of David and Lenny, the ensemble felt underutilized. It wasn't clear to me, for example, what drove Oliver or Ptonomy, or why Melanie kept pining for her absent and alcoholic husband. Syd is the most glaring example of the series' weak characterizations: Solid enough in early episodes, she's less a character than a plot device by the end.
Legion tried to give everyone character moments (however hurried and belated) before the season wrapped up, but everyone at Summerland felt underdeveloped. The more experienced actors gamely fleshed out what they could, but the younger ones floundered under the weight of one-note development: Syd lurves David. Kerry likes to fight. Ptonomy wants to kill everyone. Rudy…Rudy has telekinesis, or gravity-manipulation, or something. He goes out in a blaze of glory that nobody explains or remarks upon. Just about everyone in the cast seems to possess the acting chops to make their characters real, if only the writers could have been bothered to write actual people. Even the Interrogator would have fallen flat if not for his montage at the top of Chapter 8.
It's a testament to Legion's solidity that this weakness doesn't hobble the show; in fact, the series is so good that it's not as glaring as it might have been. The cinematography is beautiful, the music exquisitely apropos, and the plotting suspenseful and tight. In its rare weak moments, Legion can be guilty of accused of deploying tropes like fridging (poor Amy!) and exhorting fans to "Tune in next week – same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel!" At its best, though, Legion combines the energy of The Unusuals with the deliberateness and anxiety of Fargo. Legion is a helluva lot of fun to watch, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Choose fun and bright sunglasses for kids.
When they are at a picnic kids just want to start playing. But young eyes are especially sensitive to the sun's UV rays and need the protection of sunglasses when kids are out-of-doors.
It is no good buying good sunglasses if they are kept in a bag or taken off the moment Mum or Dad are out of sight.
Make sure your kids actually wear their sunglasses.
If children's glasses are fun to wear they will be more likely to keep them on.
Let kids help to choose their own sunglasses. They will feel proud that they are fashionable, trendy and the envy of their friends. Peer pressure is the greatest way to get everyone wearing sunglasses.
Be a good role model. If adults are wearing sunglasses children will copy them.
Start young. Not only do babies and toddlers need eye protection but starting young begins a habit for the rest of their lives.
Kids are hard on their glasses. When they have finished running, jumping or playing they are liable to sit on them. Younger children will chew the frames, try to straighten them, throw them around and generally cause havoc. So make sure their glasses will be up to the rough and tumble of everyday life. Here are some extra tips to consider when choosing sunglasses for your kids.
Look for large, close well fitting frames that will provide a wide area of coverage and protect eyes the sun and dust.
Strong, flexible frames are less likely to snap with heavy use.
Hinges are one of the most vunerable part of the frame. Hinges with a spring are stronger and firmer than those that just fold down. They are easier to fold without snapping and will hold the glasses snugly to the child's face.
A wide strap is a good addition to a frame. It can hold the glasses firmly to the head during sports or active play. A strap will hold glasses around the neck so that they won't get lost when not being used.
Great for babies and toddlers, these glasses come in a wide range of colours. They have a wrap around cord to use or not as you prefer. Best of all they are virtually indestructable.
Most kids lead a very active life and they need sunglasses to match. Try to find lenses that will withstand knocks and hits.
Scratch resistant lenses will help the glasses to be usable for longer.
Glass shatters easily and is heavy to wear. A study plastic makes the best lens especially for kids.
Polycarbonate lenses are stronger than standard plastic, scratch-resistant and light.
Look for lenses that block at least 98 per cent of the sun's UV rays that harm the eyes.
Polarized lenses reduce glare in bright sunlight and are definately the best you can buy.
A pair of ultra cool mirror shades for growing kids. They are available in some really beaut colours.
If you spend some time choosing sunglasses for kids you will end up with a pair that are fun, comfortable, safe and just right for your family.
The sunglasses on this page are available from Amazon.com. Just click the image to find out more about them or visit The Picnic Shop for more choices.


Born Bjarki Runar Sigurdarson in Reykjavik, Iceland, Bjarki is an electronic music composer whose tracks range from straightforward bangers to ambient and IDM.
Bjarki has kept a low profile in releasing his music, until in 2014 he began releasing his archive on the label трип (Trip).
Following several compilation appearances, Bjarki's first proper release was the 2015 'Arthur And The Intergalactic Whales', which included the simple yet effective ''I Wanna Go Bang'', one of the year's biggest club hits. The following year, Bjarki mined his extensive backlog of unreleased material with three LP's for трип. The debut full-length Б appeared in June, with Lefhanded Fuqs and Æ following shortly afterwards.
Bjarki debuted his new live AV show at Sonar Reykjavik earlier this year, and will be presenting it at selected festivals and venues throughout 2019.

Q: How do I split two or more inner joins into multiple select statements SELECT e.cempnoee, e.cempname, e.cempemail, s.csrvposition, s.csrvbranch, s.csrvcostcentr, b.cbrndesc, p.caddnophoneh FROM emas e
        inner join esrvc s on e.cempnoee = s.csrvnoee
        inner join cbranch b on s.csrvbranch = b.cbrncode
        inner join eaddrs p on e.cempnoee = p.caddnoee

The SQL dialect I am using (Lianja/VFP) does not support multiple inner join statements as of the time of writing.  How do I split the above SQL statement into multiple select statements as a workaround?

A: You don't.
You could bring in all the relevant tables locally and then handle the join yourself, but that would first of all be crap, inefficient, and something that you absolutely should not do...
If your SQL database doesn't support multiple joins (and I would find that REMARKABLE), you need to find yourself another database - seriously. Don't cause yourself years of pain for the sake of a bad decision now...

A: Actually Lianja does support multiple joins, it's just a bit weird syntax
Try something like this, and it should work
SELECT emas.cempnoee, emas.cempname,;
       emas.cempemail, esrvc.csrvposition,;
       esrvc.csrvbranch, esrvc.csrvcostcentr,;
       cbranch.cbrndesc, eaddrs.caddnophoneh;
FROM emas INNER JOIN esrvc ON emas.cempnoee = esrvc.csrvnoee,;
esrvc INNER JOIN cbranch ON esrvc.csrvbranch = cbranch.cbrncode,;
emas INNER JOIN eaddrs ON emas.cempnoee = eaddrs.caddnoee

Lianja SQL_SELECT and Lianja docs

A: After corresponding with the author of Lianja, spliting the SQL statement works:
SELECT emas.cempnoee, emas.cempname, emas.cempemail, esrvc.csrvposition, esrvc.csrvbranch, esrvc.csrvcostcentr FROM emas inner join esrvc on emas.cempnoee = esrvc.csrvnoee into cursor esc
SELECT *, cbranch.cbrndesc FROM esc inner join cbranch on esc.csrvbranch = cbranch.cbrncode into cursor esbc
SELECT *, eaddrs.caddnophoneh FROM esbc inner join eaddrs on esbc.cempnoee = eaddrs.caddnoee

A: Lianja now (since at least Feb 2017, Version 3.2) handle joins in the way handled by VFP, SQL Server, etc.

New Hyde Park softballers beat Asia
Members of the New Hyde Park Allstars celebrate their East Region victory. (July 27, 2012) Credit: Handout
By STEPHEN HAYNES stephen.haynes@newsday.com August 9, 2012 8:50 PM
Sparked by an explosive offense, New Hyde Park defeated the Asia Pacific champions, 11-4, Thursday in the first game of the Little League Softball World Series in Portland, Ore.
New Hyde Park scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Kayla Fitzpatrick led off with a triple and scored on Jenny Hickey's bunt. Hickey, who reached on an error, stole second and scored on an error. New Hyde Park added five runs in the second.
The all-star team, comprised of the top 11- and 12-year-old players from the New Hyde Park Little League, won the East Region championship July 27 and became the first Long Island squad to qualify for the World Series since an Islip team did in 1993. No New York team has ever won the tournament.
Asia Pacific pulled within 7-4 in the fourth inning, but NHP answered with four runs in the fifth.
Hickey allowed four runs, eight hits and struck out five in the six-inning game. Gabby Morales went 2-for-4, and Ann Grimshaw, Maggie Donnelly, Emma Nidermaier and Hickey each scored two runs. The offense was aided by eight Asia Pacific errors.
The tournament will continue through Aug. 15 and New Hyde Park faces Canada at 1 p.m. EST Friday.
New Hyde Park, in 2010, won the East Regional championship, which set off a whirlwind congratulatory tour that included enshrinement in the Little League Baseball Museum in Williamsport and their being honored at a Mets game. That was the end of their road that season, as only the older teams are eligible to compete in the World Series. Two years later, though, this group has a chance to make history.

HELIUM HORSE FLY – Hollowed ( Dipole Experiment Records) – Right now midway through Monochromo, midway through this this massive eleven minute epic that's somewhere between the best bits of Kayo Dot and Extra Life, actually there's hugh bits of the hugeness of Huge Baby, actually there's lot here that compares with those gloriously huge early days of Huge Baby in the most positive of ways (huge ways), that and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and the large expanse of Meshuggah and the charm of Bjork and the jagged edges of Stravinsky, well actually this feels massive. Helium Horse Fly's latest album, Hollowed, is even bigger than the last one, this is dark, this is epic, this is brilliant – this is so full of colour, dark colours, warmth in the darkness, this is pushing the envelope in terms of big (in terms of Huge) this is properly progressive, and she voices it so well, so much personality, who is she? Do I really want to know who she is? This is dark in so many beautiful rich ways, fire fought with fire, it would be easy to name drop the darker compositions of Cardiacs or make reference to the rush of Camp Blackfoot when Helium Horse Fly start to gallop, but then there are parts that are beautifully still and whispered and long passages of music that hardly moves. guitars almost not touched, the light brush of sound, the whispered voice. All fourteen minutes of In A Deathless Spell are just exquisite.

On Wednesday June 27, 2018, about 12:51 central daylight time, a runway incursion occurred at Springfield-Branson National Airport, Springfield, Missouri when an airport operations vehicle ("VAN 7") crossed runway 14 while an Embraer 145, operated by Envoy Air as flight ENY 3660, was on its takeoff roll with 57 passengers aboard.
This video reveals the circumstances surrounding the incursion, and the audio (courtesy of LiveATC.net) appears to unambiguously pin this incident squarely on the shoulders of the ground controller.
Nonetheless, it should be noted that even with the ground controller's serious error, the swiss cheese model of accident causation is in full force here. Based on the van driver's written statement, in his rush to make the ARFF BBQ he did not follow his normal practice of visually "clearing" every runway crossing on his own.
Furthermore, had the driver not been in a hurry it is likely that no runways would have been crossed to begin with.
The Envoy Air 3660 in this incident was being operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121.
There was no damage to the aircraft or vehicle, and no injuries were reported. As is obvious from the video, visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the incursion.

the message to check for xerces-c is just a good guess as to the reason why v.in.ogr failed, not necessarily the definitive reason. but presumably it's because the version of GDAL/OGR shipped with osgeo4w wasn't built to support that.
Probably we know xerces-c will be missing, but just to 100% confirm before taking the request to the osgeo4w packagers.
can you run "ogrinfo" on the WFS server using that driver?
can you do that manually? does the xml file you download look ok inside?
Does the problem persist with the currently shipped GDAL 1.9 version?

Zidane: "We were able to dig in and we deserve to go through"
NEWS | 14/04/2021 | Rodrigo Salamanca
"I'm proud of the team and everything we're doing", stated the Real Madrid coach.
Zinedine Zidane appeared in an online press conference after clinching a place in the Champions League semi-finals: "We were able to dig in. That was to be expected in a quarter-final tie. We deserved to go through but we knew it was going to be difficult. We controlled the game well, we worked hard for each other and I'm thrilled for the lads. It was hugely important to make it through to the next round and it gives us a big morale boost".
"We're happy to have qualified but we haven't won anything yet. We're still alive in both competitions. I'm proud of the team and everything we're doing, we have to keep it up. We're just going to think about resting up and then focus on our next game against Getafe".
Starting line-up
"It's the option I decided to go with, Valverde as a full-back. He put in a great performance in a position where he's not used to playing. I'm proud of Benzema, Asensio, Vinicius Jr's efforts up top. We suffered at times, particularly in the second half".
"He's our goalkeeper and he's playing brilliantly. It's so important to have a keeper with that assuredness, it's something he's always given us. He's doing a fantastic job".
We've got plenty of quality but the key thing is the character of these players.
"I'm not going to say anything about the criticism. We're still in both competitions and pleased about that, but we haven't won anything yet. We've had some complications, but we're in the mix at the end of the season where everything is at stake. We have to continue like this".
"We're going to enjoy today's result. Then we have a lot of league matches. Chelsea are a very good side. The further we go in the competition, the more difficult the games become".
Physical effort
"We finished the game better today than we did against Barcelona. We've had three games in the space of a week and the players have had to make an enormous effort. But after these three matches, we can feel pleased with ourselves. I spoke about the physical limitations after the Barcelona game because it's normal after a game like that. It's hasn't been easy to get here, but we're still alive at the season's run-in".
"The players always want more and the team always shows that character. When there are difficulties, they're more united and want to step up. We have immense quality, but the key is the character of the players".

Raise the Hammer
American Way of Life: Still Not Up for Negotiation
Bush's plan to reduce US reliance on imported petroleum through the wonders of technology is dangerous magical thinking.
By Ryan McGreal

The Bush Dynasty's Maxim - "The American way of life is not up for negotiation" - is still in full effect in the White House.
President George W. Bush delivered his State of the Union speech last night to a joint session of the US Congress, and one of his themes was energy security.
It is in our vital interest to diversify America's energy supply - and the way forward is through technology. We must continue changing the way America generates electric power - by even greater use of clean coal technology ... solar and wind energy ... and clean, safe nuclear power. [emphasis added; all ellipses in original]
First of all, there's no such thing as "clean coal technology" or "clean, safe nuclear power". Both are straightforward misnomers. Of course, technology can make both coal burning cleaner than it is today (as well as less productive), but the Bush administration has spent the past six years obstructing efforts to set stricter regulations on emissions from coal fired plants.
Nuclear power suffers from significant life-cycle pollution, radiation, and inherent risks, not to mention its poor long-term prospects as an energy source.
Reducing Oil Imports
Bush also pledged to reduce America's reliance on imported petroleum.
Let us build on the work we have done and reduce gasoline usage in the United States by 20 percent in the next ten years - thereby cutting our total imports by the equivalent of three-quarters of all the oil we now import from the Middle East.
Three quarters of all the oil the US now imports from the Middle East sounds impressive, but currently the US imports very little oil from the Middle East. Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela provide 5.4 million barrels a day of petroleum. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait provide just 2.2 million barrels a day. The US itself produces around 7 million barrels a day.
Out of the 20 million barrels a day the US consumes, just ten percent comes from the Middle East, and three quarters of that is 1.5 million barrels a day.
To reach this goal, we must increase the supply of alternative fuels, by setting a mandatory Fuels Standard to require 35 billion gallons of renewable and alternative fuels in 2017 - this is nearly five times the current target. At the same time, we need to reform and modernize fuel economy standards for cars the way we did for light trucks - and conserve up to eight and a half billion more gallons of gasoline by 2017.
President Bush seems to believe that a combination of "renewable and alternative fuels" and "moderniz[ing] fuel economy standards" will somehow magically stop climate change and offset declining oil production without requiring Americans to drive less. This sounds like wishful thinking.
If America was to convert even a significant fraction of its fuel to biodiesel and/or ethanol, it would displace millions of acres of food-producing farmland. That's assuming biodiesel can even produce a net energy return, a claim that's still in dispute, since industrial farming is already intensely hydrocarbon-intensive.
Increasing fuel economy standards has some medium-term promise (it takes a decade to roll over a nation's fleet of vehicles). However, since 1994 the Republican-controlled Congress has stridently opposed efforts to increase average fuel economy or close the loopholes that gives SUVs much looser standards.
In any case, the actual numbers are too modest to make a significant improvement. 35 billion gallons by 2017 sounds like a lot, but it's only a drop in the bucket, if you'll forgive the expression.
Bush wants the US to use 35 billion gallons of alternative fuels by 2017. Converted to the units usually used for petroleum, that's just 1.1 billion barrels.
Assuming 2 percent growth in consumption per year (the US Energy Information Agency's estimate), the US will be using a total of 9.1 billion barrels of petroleum or equivalent by 2012.
That 35 billion gallons of alternative fuels will amount to just 12.4 percent of the total projected demand.

2017 35,000 1,129 281,376 9,077 12.4%
Real Energy Independence
The two measures with the best prospects of reducing Americans' reliance on transportation energy were notably absent from Bush's speech: building compact, mixed-use communities and investing in energy-efficient public transit.
Nowhere did Bush suggest that Americans need to rethink their love affair with sprawl and reassess whether it still makes sense to commute over 100 km between home and work.
The president who declared two wars while giving tax cuts to the rich during a recession, running the biggest deficits in US history, is not interested in asking Americans to change anything about their unsustainably polluting lifestyles.
The president who ignored everyone else on earth in deciding how to wage the war in Iraq and used part of his SOTU to defend his failed foreign policy doctrine is not ready to change his mind on the matter of energy consumption either.
His paean to technology is just magical thinking, the belief that the staggering daily inflow of energy that runs the US economy can somehow come from somewhere other than earth's multimillion-year inheritance of concentrated, buried sunlight.

No surprise here. The Federal Reserve and big bankers absolutely need massive consumption to keep the fiat dollar experiment floated - that will never be challenged in presidential speeches. But you would think that by now, the phrase "reduce dependence on foreign oil" would not be written in, which people know is impossible and only serves to make the politicians looks stupid.
