Synthetic Telepathy, Psychotronics, and NDE's.
From: "Raktizer Omheit": Mon, 11 Jun 2008 11:36:57 +1000
The Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence agencies known as the N.S.A. [
National Security Agency ], C.S.S. [ Central Security Service ], D.I.A. [
Defense Intelligence Agency ], and the C.I.A. [ Central Intelligence
Agency ], have extremely top secret technology which can up the private
thoughts given by individuals from the infrasound vibrations produced by the
brains' electrochemical impulses, i.e. brainwaves. These brainwaves can be
broadcast via microwave tranceivers, infrasound and ultrasound tranceivers,
TDRS [ Tracking and Data Relay Satellites ], GPS [ Global Positioning
Satellites ], and any other form of technology which uses electromagnetism,
i.e. television, radio, the internet, and the telephone. The Pentagon calls
this mind reading and subliminal, subconscious brainwashing technology
Synthetic Telepathy, which the Russians refer to as Psychotronics or
Psychological-Electronics, although there is nothing paranormal about it at
all. The Russian military and intelligence agencies, unlike other sectors of
the Russian economy, continue to be well funded and supplied with the most
technologically up-to-date weaponry, and the Russians after the Americans
still have a large arsenal of nuclear weapons. Sometimes Russian spies can
impersonate American spies, and vice versa.
If you do not believe that synthetic telepathy and psychotronics exists,
then you should look at these following web sites which reveal that part of
electromagnetic and acoustic psychological warfare and mind control which
today is declassified:

Today, there are computer chips smaller than the thickness of a human hair,
and which can be inserted into a person by means of an injection, capsule,
or tooth filling, with or without the knowledge of a doctor or a pharmacist.
These computer chips circulate through the bloodstream before becoming
lodged in the brain. See "GWEN: Ground Wave Emergency Network-Powerful
Antennae Controlling Humanity," or "CONTROL OF HUMANITY: CHEMTRAILS,
G.W.E.N., H.A.A.R.P." in https://www.world-action.co.uk./gwen.html . These
computer chip implants can be made invisible to detection by means of a CAT
[ Computerized Axial Tomography ], MRI [ Magnetic Resonance Imaging ], and
PET [ Positron Emission Tomography ] scans, probably by some means of
electromagnetic degaussing.
Once it was believed that claims about C.I.A. agents secretly dumping
radioactive material in the slums of U.S. cities during the 1950's as part
of a top secret research program were simply mass conspiracy theories, until
the U.S. federal government in the 1990's publicly admitted that the
allegation was true, although to date none of the agents responsible have
been prosecuted, and probably never will be. The Stealth Bomber, which can
evade enemy radar, was first revealed to the American public only in 1988.
No doubt that secret agents have top secret, miniaturized computer chips
which are invisible to brain scan detection implanted or injected into them
in order to jam or block the ability of enemy spies to read their silent,
private thoughts or mentations, and also to place erroneous, misleading
thoughts in their minds in order to deceive enemy spies.
With the latest top secret and rapid technological advancements available to
the U.S. intelligence agencies, the need for computer chip implants or
injections for conducting synthetic telepathy and subliminal, subconscious
brainwashing attacks against targeted persons is probably obsolete by now.
Rather, a satellite network of Tracking and Data Relay Satellites, along
with Global Positioning Satellites using remote control, is used against
individuals suffering from synthetic telepathy harassment. Synthetic
Telepathy is used for conducting training and/or experimentation against
people suffering from various types and degrees of mental illness, as red
herring "good cop/bad cop" or tough love acting, diversions, feints, decoys,
smokescreens, smear campaigns by association, openly secret intimidation
campaigns against dissidents, and as a means of espionage.
The N.S.A. or National Security Agency is a part of the U.S. Department of
Defense, and a very secretive part at that. The N.S.A. has a black budget,
and is always headed by a high-ranking commissioned officer from one of the
branches of the U.S. military. The headquarters of the N.S.A. is located at
Fort George Gordon Meade in the U.S. state of Maryland. The top secret
technology available to U.S. intelligence agencies is usually thirty years
or maybe even more ahead of the technology which is available to the U.S.
civilian economy, especially in the field of nanotechnology.
The U.S. National Security Agency or N.S.A. sometimes cooperates with other
U.S. intelligence agencies, and the N.S.A. is the coordinating agency for
the global spy network called ECHELON, which includes the English-speaking
nations of the U.S.A., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. The
U.S. military has several bases in the U.K., which is an important,
nuclear-armed NATO ally for the U.S.A., and American N.S.A. spies and
technicians often work alongside their foreign counterparts within the
ECHELON network. See "ECHELON" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON , and
"National Security Agency" in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency ; and
"Central Security Service" in

"Defense Intelligence Agency" in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Intelligence_Agency ; and
"Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency" in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Advanced_Research_Projects_Agency .
Personally, my gut feeling tells me that those spies who work in synthetic
telepathy and subliminal, subconscious brainwashing by means of infrasound,
ultrasound, and electromagnetism in psychotronics, are probably closet
atheists or agnostics, and sociopaths with Machiavellian intelligence. They
have no sympathy or compassion towards their victims, although they must
certainly have empathy towards them. As for the First Cause or Cosmological

Government Thought Policing: The NSA and Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM)
The following information was evidence provided in a civil suit against the federal government in the case Akwei v. NSA (92-0449). John St. Clair Akwei is a former National Security Agency employee and whistle-blower who exposed the use of neural monitoring to spy on individuals. The Signals Intelligence mission of the NSA has evolved into a program of decoding EMF waves in the environment for wirelessly tapping into computers and tracking persons with the electrical currents in their bodies.
How The National Security Agency (NSA) Illegally And Unconstitutionally Harasses Law-Abiding Americans Everyday. How, you ask? Quite simply, actually. It's done by EMF or ELF Radio Waves, and a technology known as "Remote Neural Monitoring". Haven't you ever wondered about that ringing in your left ear? Well, here are the reason(s). And just why should the NSA do this, you ask? To silence any who who dare to speak out against them or any other agency, or the Government or simply to think for themselves, and "outside the box", if you will. Think not? Then, read on……….
Blanket coverage of all electronic communication in the U.S. and the world to ensure national security. The NSA at Ft. Meade, Maryland has had the most advanced computers in the world since the early 1960′s. NSA technology is developed and implemented in secret from private corporations, academia, and the general public.
The Signals Intelligence mission of the NSA has evolved into a program of decoding EMF waves in the environment for wirelessly tapping into computers and tracking persons with the electrical currents in their bodies. Signals Intelligence is based on the fact that everything in the environment with an electric current in it has a magnetic flux around it which gives off EMF waves. The NSA/DoD has developed proprietary advanced digital equipment which can remotely analyze all objects whether man-made or organic that have electrical activity.
Domestic Intelligence (DOMINT)
The NSA has records on all U.S. citizens. The NSA gathers information on U.S. citizens who might be of interest to any of the over 50,000 NSA agents (HUMINT). These agents are authorized by executive order to spy on anyone. The NSA has a permanent National Security Anti-Terrorist surveillance network in place. This surveillance network is completely disguised and hidden from the public.
Tracking individuals in the U.S. is easily and cost-effectively implemented with the NSA's electronic surveillance network. This network (DOMINT) covers the entire U.S., involves tens of thousands of NSA personnel, and tracks millions of persons simultaneously. Cost effective implementation of operations is assured by NSA computer technology designed to minimize operations costs. NSA personnel serve in Quasi-public positions in their communities and run cover businesses and legitimate businesses that can inform the intelligence community of persons they would want to track. N.S.A. personnel in the community usually have cover identities such as social workers, lawyers and business owners.
Individual citizens occasionally targeted for surveillance by independently operating NSA personnel.
NSA personnel can control the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals in the U.S. by using the NSA's domestic intelligence network and cover businesses. The operations independently run by them can sometimes go beyond the bounds of law. Long-term control and sabotage of tens of thousands of unwitting citizens by NSA operatives is likely to happen. NSA Domint has the ability to covertly assassinate U.S. citizens or run covert psychological control operations to cause subjects to be diagnosed with ill mental health.
NSA's domestic electronic surveillance network
As of the early 1960′s the most advanced computers in the world were at the NSA, Ft. Meade. Research breakthroughs with these computers were kept for the NSA. At the present time the NSA has nanotechnology computers that are 15 years ahead of present computer technology. The NSA obtains blanket coverage of information in the U.S. by using advanced computers that use artificial intelligence to screen all communications, irregardless of medium, for key words that should be brought to the attention of NSA agents/cryptologists. These computers monitor all communications at the transmitting and receiving ends. This blanket coverage of the U.S. is a result of the NSA's Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) mission. The NSA's electronic surveillance network is based on a cellular arrangement of devices that can monitor the entire EMF spectrum. This equipment was developed, implemented, and kept secret in the same manner as other electronic warfare programs. With this technology NSA personnel can non-obtrusively tap into any communication device in existence. This includes computers, telephones, radio and video-based devices, printers, car electronics, and even the minute electrical fields in humans (for tracking individuals).
Signals Intelligence Remote Computer Tampering
The NSA keeps track of all PCs and other computers sold in the U.S. This is an integral part of the Domestic Intelligence network. The NSA's EMF equipment can tune in RF emissions from personal computer circuit boards (while filtering out emissions from monitors and power supplies). The RF emission from PC circuit boards contains digital information in the PC. Coded RF waves from the NSA's equipment can resonate PC circuits and change data in the PC's. Thus the NSA can gain wireless modem-style entry into any computer in the country for surveillance or anti-terrorist electronic warfare. Radio and Television signals can be substituted at the receiving end with special EMF equipment. Replacing signals in Radios and Televisions is another outgrowth of the NSA's Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) mission.
Detecting EMF Fields in Humans for Surveillance.
A subject's bioelectric field can be remotely detected, so subjects can be monitored anywhere they are. With special EMF equipment NSA cryptologists can remotely read evoked potentials (from EEGs). These can be decoded into a person's brain-states and thoughts. The subject is then perfectly monitored from a distance. NSA personnel can dial up any individual in the country on the Signals lntelligence EMF scanning network and the NSA's computers will then pinpoint and track that person 24 hours-a-day. The NSA can pick out and track anyone in the U.S.
NSA Signals Intelligence Use of EMF Brain Stimulation
NSA Signals Intelligence uses EMF Brain Stimulation for Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) and Electronic Brain Link (EBL). EMF Brain Stimulation has been in development since the MKUltra program of the early 1950′s, which included neurological research into "radiation" (non-ionizing EMF) and bioelectric research and development. The resulting secret technology is categorized at the National Security Archives as "Radiation Intelligence," defined as "information from unintentionally emanated electromagnetic waves in the environment, not including radioactivity or nuclear detonation." Signals Intelligence implemented and kept this technology secret in the same manner as other electronic warfare programs of the U.S. government. The NSA monitors available information about this technology and withholds scientific research from the public. There are also international intelligence agency agreements to keep this technology secret. The NSA has proprietary electronic equipment that analyzes electrical activity in humans from a distance. NSA computer-generated brain mapping can continuously monitor all the electrical activity in die brain continuously. The NSA records aid decodes individual brain maps (of hundreds of thousands of persons) for national security purposes. EMF Brain Stimulation is also secretly used by the military for Brain-to-computer link. (In military fighter aircraft, for example.) For electronic surveillance purposes electrical activity in the speech center of the brain can be translated into the subject's verbal thoughts. RNM can send encoded signals to the brain's auditory cortex thus allowing audio communication direct to the brain (bypassing the ears). NSA operatives can use this to covertly debilitate subjects by simulating auditory hallucinations characteristic of paranoid schizophrenia. Without any contact with the subject, Remote Neural Monitoring can map out electrical activity from the visual cortex of a subject's brain and show images from the subject's brain on a video monitor. NSA operatives see what the surveillance subject's eyes are seeing. Visual memory can also be seen. RNM can send images direct to the visual cortex. bypassing the eyes and optic nerves. NSA operatives can use this to surreptitiously put images in a surveillance subject's brain while they are in R.E.M. sleep for brain-programming purposes.
Capabilities of NSA operatives using RNM
There has been a Signals Intelligence network in the U.S. since the 1940′s. The NSA, Ft. Meade has in place a vast two-way wireless RNM system which is used to track subjects and non-invasively monitor audio-visual information in their brain. This is all done with no physical contact with the subject. RNM is the ultimate method of surveillance and domestic intelligence. Speech and 3D sound, and subliminal audio can be sent to the auditory cortex of the subject's brain (bypassing the ears) and images can be sent into the visual cortex. RNM can alter a subject's perceptions, moods, and motor control. Speech cortex/auditory cortex link has become the ultimate communications system for the intelligence community. RNM allows for a complete audio-visual brain-to-brain link or brain-to-computer link.
National Security Agency Signals Intelligence Electronic Brain Link Technology
NSA SigInt can remotely detect, identify and monitor a person's bioelectric fields. The NSA's Signals Intelligence has the proprietary ability to remotely and non-invasively monitor information in the human brain by digitally decoding the evoked potentials in the 30-50 hz, .5 milliwatt electro-magnetic emissions from the brain. Neuronal activity in the brain creates a shifting electrical pattern that has a shifting magnetic flux. This magnetic flux puts out a constant 30-50 hz, .5 milliwatt electromagnetic (EMF) wave. Contained in the electromagnetic emission from the brain are spikes and patterns called "evoked potentials." Every thought, reaction, motor command, auditory event, and visual image in the brain has a corresponding "evoked potential" or set of "evoked potentials." The EMF emission from the brain can be decoded into the current thoughts, images and sounds in the subject's brain. NSA SigInt uses EMF-transmitted Brain Stimulation as a communications system to transmit information (as well as nervous system messages) to intelligence agents and also to transmit to the brains of covert operations subjects (on a non-perceptible level). EMF Brain Stimulation works by sending a complexly coded and pulsed electromagnetic signal to trigger evoked potentials (events) in the brain, thereby forming sound and visual images in the brain's neural circuits. EMF Brain Stimulation can also change a person's brain-states and affect motor control. Two-way Electronic Brain-Link is done by remotely monitoring neural audio-visual information while transmitting sound to the auditory cortex (bypassing the ears) and transmitting faint images to the visual cortex (bypassing the optic nerves and eyes, the images appear as floating 2-D screens in the brain). Two-Way Electronic Brain Link has become the ultimate communications system for CIA/NSA personnel. Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM, remotely monitoring bioelectric information in the human brain) has become the ultimate surveillance system. It is used by a limited number of agents in the U.S. Intelligence Community. RNM requires decoding the resonance frequency of each specific brain area. That frequency is then modulated in order to impose information in That specific brain area. The frequency to which the various brain areas respond varies from 3 Hz to 50 Hz. Only NSA Signals Intelligence modulates signals in thisfrequency band. :
Brain Area Bioelectric Resonance Frequency Information Induced Through Modulation
Motor Control Cortex 10 HZ Motor Impulse Co-ordination
Auditory Cortex 15 HZ Sound which bypasses the ears
Visual Cortex 25 HZ Images in the brain, bypassing the eyes
Somatosensory Cortex 09 HZ Phantom Touch Sense
Thought Center 20 HZ Imposed Subconscious Thoughts
This modulated information can be put into the brain at varying intensities from subliminal to perceptible. Each person's brain has a unique set of bioelectric resonance/entrainment frequencies. Sending audio information to a person's brain at the frequency of another person's auditory cortex would result in that audio information not being perceived. The Plaintiff learned of RNM by being in two-way RNM contact with the Kinnecome group at the NSA, Ft. Meade. They used RNM 3D sound direct to the brain to harass the Plaintiff from 10/90 to 5/91. As of 5/91 they have had two-way RNM communications with the Plaintiff and have used RNM to attempt to incapacitate the Plaintiff and hinder the Plaintiff from going to authorities about their activities against the Plaintiff in the last twelve years. The Kinnecome group has about 100 persons working 24-hours-a-day at Ft Meade. They have also brain-tapped persons the Plaintiff is in contact with to keep the Plaintiff isolated. This is the first time ever that a private citizen has been harassed with RNM and has been able to bring a lawsuit against NSA personnel misusing this intelligence operations method.
NSA Techniques and Resources
Remote monitoring/tracking of individuals in any location. inside any building, continuously, anywhere in the country. A system for inexpensive implementation of these operations allows for thousands of persons in every community to be spied on constantly by the NSA.
Remote RNM Devices
a) NSA's RNM equipment remotely reads the evoked potentials (EEGs) of the human brain for tracking individuals and can send messages through the nervous system to affect their performance.
b) [Information missing from original]
c) RNM can electronically identify individuals and track then anywhere in the U.S. This equipment is on a network and is used for domestic intelligence operations, government security, and military base security, and in case of bioelectric warfare.
Spotters and Walk-Bys in Metropolitan Areas
a) Tens of thousands of persons in each area working as spotters and neighborhood/business place spies (sometimes unwittingly) following and checking on subjects who have been identified for covert control by NSA personnel.
b) Agents working out of offices can be in constant communication with Spotters who are keeping track of the NSA's thousands of subjects in public.
c) NSA Agents in remote offices can instantly identify (using RNM) any individual spotted in public whom is in contact with surveillance subject.
Chemicals and Drugs into Residential Buildings with hidden NSA-lnstalled and maintained plastic plumbing lines.
a) The NSA has kits for running lines into residential tap water and air ducts of subjects for the delivery of drugs (such as sleeping gas or brainwashing aiding drugs). This is an outgrowth of CIA pharmapsychology.
Brief Overview of Proprietary U.S. Intelligence/E.U
Fixed network of special EMF equipment that can read EEGs in human brains and identify/track individuals by using digital computers. ESB (Electrical Stimulation to the Brain) via EMF signal from the NSA Signals Intelligence is used to control subjects.
EMF equipment that gathers information from PC circuit boards by deciphering RF emissions thereby gaining wireless modem-style entry into any personal computer in the country.
All equipment hidden, all technology secret, all scientific research unreported (as in electronic warfare research).
Not known to the public at all, yet complete and thorough implementation of this method of domestic intelligence has been in place since the early 1980′s.

Snowy water licence amendments open for public exhibition
Media release | 20 May 2020
The NSW Government is encouraging the public to have their say on proposed amendments to the Snowy Water Licence with the public exhibition now open.
The amendments were identified during the Snowy Water Licence mandatory 10-year review under the Act governing Snowy Hydro's operations, Allan Raine, Acting Director, Water Planning Implementation, Department of Planning, Industry and Environment-Water said.
"The review commenced in 2018 and included a public consultation period which attracted 40 submissions, resulting in 23 actions for implementation. This included 10 administrative amendments to the licence.
"The amendments aim to improve oversight of Snowy Hydro's operations, improve the coordination of environmental water management, increase transparency, simplify provisions, secure current practice and fix known errors," he said.
"The public's involvement in the initial review has led to these proposed amendments, now I'm encouraging the public to review these amendments online and make submissions if they feel they're required.
"The Snowy Water Licence outlines Snowy Hydro's rights and obligations managing water on behalf of the community. It's our water, so I'm encouraging the community to have their say in ensuring we get the best results from this 'once-in-a-decade' review process," Mr Raine said.
For further information on the proposed amendments and to make a submission, visit Snowy Water Licence on our website.
The public exhibition is open for submissions until 16 June 2020.

Please welcome Deb back to the blog. She has stopped by before with her favorite pattern, her Flat S visit, and she hosted one day of the School Days Jacket sew-along. Now she is here to give a book report on the Book Report Dress or how to add exposed zippers on welt pockets. Thanks Deb!
The Book Report Dress certainly lends itself to some fun modifications, not the least of which can be exposed zippers on welt pockets.
I've taken loads of boring but mostly in focus photos along with fairly verbose dialogue to show you how I accomplished exposing my zippers.
First of all, I highly recommend trying out this method using scrap fabric first so that the opening for the zipper, (a.k.a. the zipper peep hole) exposes the amount of zipper tape you want to see.
Instead of using a real zipper in the trial run, use a piece of grosgrain ribbon or a contrasting scrap of fabric with zipper teeth drawn on the same size as the zipper you're going to use.
Oh, and as far as my Imperial/Metric conversions go, please note when I went to school we were taught to use Imperial measurements and then our country went metric so I had to re-learn measurements all over again as an adult. So a 1/2 inch for me is 1.25 cm but exact conversion is 1.27 cm. The 5 inch zippers I purchase are labelled 12 cm but are really 12.7 cm. Just sayin'.
The first time I tried exposed zippers on this pattern, I made a ton of errors. The first mistake was constructing the dress front and shirt front as two pieces as per the pattern and not making it one piece. Having a seam in the middle created extra seam allowances, unwanted fraying and bulk. Not good. Especially when using thicker fabric.
My preference is to lay the traced front pattern pieces (#2 and #5) over top of each other along the seam allowances so you can trace out one complete dress front piece. Oh, and don't forget to add dots and all other marks from those two pieces.
Now if you happen to use a fabric-like tracing medium, you can stitch the two together so you'll get the piece exactly as it should be.
Next cut the dress fabric, open it up and draw a line using chalk or washable marker where the two pieces would have met and a seam would have been created. Let's call this the "skirt line." Clip the side edges of the dress front too beside the "skirt line" as this will combine handy when assembling the front to the back of the dress later on.
Now you're ready to measure for the zipper placements.
Using chalk or another washable marker, mark the dots from the traced piece to the dress front. These will be called the "inside" marks.
Lay the zippers below those "inside" marks and then move the zippers where you want making them the same on each side. Mark new marks along the "skirt line" noting where the zipper stoppers begin and end. These are the "outside" marks.
Note the zippers I used are 5" (12 cm). I placed my zipper so that the zipper stopper end was 1/2" (1.25 cm) away from the "inside" mark and the pull tab end was 1" (2.5 cm) away from the other "inside" mark.
You can move your zippers closer or a little further apart if you want. The "inside" marks are merely a guide.
If the zippers you are using have open ends like the longer zipper with silver teeth as per the photo, hand stitch the ends together as I've done on my short zippers. Having the tape ends close together makes it easier to line up in the zipper peep hole later on.
Now that the zipper placement area is made, cut two pieces of interfacing and iron them on the wrong side of the fabric in the area where the zipper will go along the "skirt line" that's marked on the other side.
The next step is cutting the pocket bags. I cut two pieces of fabric roughly 7 1/4" X 10" (18 X 25 cm). You can have larger or smaller pockets, but let's work with these measurements for now. In the last step you can do some trimming.
The zipper placement area from the dress front has to be transferred to the wrong side of the pockets, however, the pocket pieces have to be staggered over the "skirt line". So here's what I did to get the markings in the right spot.
Cut two pocket pieces (sizes noted above) from whatever tracing medium you use.
Lay out those tracing pieces on the dress front and using the "skirt line" chalk line as a guide lay the top end of the pocket further away from the "skirt line", say roughly 6" (15 cm) above, and the lower end of the pocket will lay a lesser amount below the "skirt line".
Trace the marks from the dress front to the tracing medium.
With chalk or washable marker, transfer the "outer" marks and the "skirt line" from the pocket tracing pieces to the pocket fabric pieces.
Lay the pocket pieces (right sides together) on the dress front. Use the "skirt line" marks on the dress front and pocket pieces to help align plus, lift the sides of the pockets and take a peek to make sure the "outer" marks on the pockets are over the top of the "outer" marks on the dress front. Using a pin, stick it through the pocket piece at those marks aiming it at the marks underneath. That will also help.
Pin the pockets in place so nothing moves.
On the "outer" marks draw four vertical 1/2" (1.25 cm) lines in washable marker. Next, draw a horizontal line in between those marks. Now draw a line 1/4" (6 cm) above and below the middle line. You'll have two long rectangular boxes with a line through the middle. At the end of the middle line, draw a "V" as seen in the photo.
Go ahead and stitch around the outside of each rectangle box. Note that when you stitch down the 1/2" (1.25 cm) sides, count the number of stitch and make sure you use the same number of stitches for each of the rectangle boxes.
I'm using a contrasting thread so you can see the stitching lines better.
You are now ready to cut open the pocket area. Carefully cut along the middle line and when you get to the "V", clip carefully up to the corner, but not through the stitches.
Pull the pocket fabric through the hole, flatten to the wrong side of the dress front and press.
Lift up the corner of the pocket pieces and stitch the little triangle, or the "V", as close to the edge of the opening as you can with the pocket side down on the sewing machine.
Press again to make sure everything is flat and the seams along the zipper peep hole edge are perfectly aligned.
Now you're ready to insert the zippers.
I find it really easy to use a fabric glue stick or sticky washable sewing tape (like Wonder Tape) to hold zippers in place before stitching. I also find it easier to apply the tape, or glue on the wrong side of the pockets opening and not on the zipper tape itself because the fabric opening can be easily manipulated.
If you don't have washable tape, then use pins to hold the zipper in place.
With the dress right side facing you and the zippers in behind, take some time to fiddle and fuss with the zippers so the zipper tape is exposed to your liking.
The photo below is showing the wrong side of the dress. The left side pocket in the photo shows the zipper stuck in place (face side down) and the right side pocket with the glue tape in place ready for the next zipper.
Since I find using pins for this task difficult, I only have a photo showing washable tape. However I have read that some people us scotch tape where they would place pins. Perhaps it's worth a try?
The zipper should look something like this now. It's stuck firmly in place and ready to be stitched around.
Now you can go ahead and stitch all around your zipper. I use two strands of thread through the sewing needle.
Last step. Turn the dress over to the wrong side. Pull the top of the pocket down to meet the bottom of the pocket making sure everything is laying flat, trim excess if necessary, press and pin in place. If you want the pocket even smaller, trim away, and when you're happy with the size stitch around the three sides being careful not to stitch into the dress front.
And the pockets are a perfect place to stash your dinosaur and zip it shut so you brother doesn't get it.
I LOVE this tutorial, thank you. It's something I'll be using on my clothes!
Fantastic Deb. I'll be copying this in a few patterns I can think of. Would be very cute on the Bento tee which has original pockets the same as the Book Report dress.
This is great, Deb!!! When did your little model become so big?!?!?! We've yet to sew the Book Report Dress, but I really like the variation you gave the pattern. Excellent idea!
Again, a lovely idea!! I'm very fond of this pattern – partly because it's very generous in sizing, and fits for ages. FrancesSuzanne – you MUST try- pattern for your signature piping. Thank you for taking so much time and effort to 'explain' the process.
Thanks for this tutorial! My going to use the information to make jacket pockets.


I post these nourishing, hypaethral quotations partly apropos of the fuss being made yet again by restaurateurs over what beachgoers can do on "their" beaches (see "Who Owns the Beach?," a CL Tampa story which features my old friends Tom and Kristy on the dispossessed's behalf, and an ungracious knucklehead on his own) and partly because it's just that time of the year again — the time where, largely in an act of self-defense, we give up hiding from the sun and begin to collectively lie down in a maelstrom of its keenest rays. Not that season, when the northerlings flock because their native habitats have finally become too dreary and dank; no, the Season, when for we natives anything seems possible but probably not worth the effort.
There is probably no custom more universal, more natural or more ancient, on the sea-coasts, not only of the United States, but of the world, than that of bathing in the salt waters of the ocean and the enjoyment of the wholesome recreation incident thereto. The lure of the ocean is universal; to battle with its refreshing breakers a delight. Many are they who have felt the life-giving touch of its healing waters and its clear dust-free air. Appearing constantly to change, it remains ever essentially the same. This primeval quality appeals to us. [Quoting Lord Byron now, awesomely:] 'Changeless save to thy wild waves play, time writes no wrinkles on thine azure brow; such as creation's dawn beheld, thou rollest now.' The attraction of the ocean for mankind is as enduring as its own changelessness. The people of Florida — a State blessed with probably the finest bathing beaches in the world — are no exception to the rule.
Skill in the art of swimming is common amongst us. We love the oceans which surround our State. We, and our visitors, too, enjoy bathing in their refreshing waters. The constant enjoyment of this privilege of thus using the ocean and its fore-shore for ages without dispute should prove sufficient to establish it as an American common-law right, similar to that of fishing in the sea, even if this right had not come down to us as a part of the English common law, which it undoubtedly has.
No part of Florida is more exclusively hers, nor more properly utilized by her people than her beaches.


Ok, we have a problem. I have found the best cookies in the entire world.
Why is this a problem? Because I CAN'T. STOP. EATING THEM.
I was totally in control for 6 batches of cookies. I gave tons away, and enjoyed the rest in moderation.
But these babies? No way.
I have been plowing through these cookies at a very alarming rate.
And I really, really, really already want to make more. OMG.
The idea for these cookies came from two really fun holiday products I found.
Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips (amazingness) and JELLO Candy Cane Pudding (note: the Candy Cane pudding seems to have been discontinued, so now I use vanilla pudding and they are just as good!).
After making Gingerbread Pudding Cookies (and loving them), I thought I'd try the Candy Cane pudding in some cookies too. At first I was thinking cocoa powder, to get that well-loved mint-chocolate combo. But then I thought it might overpower the pudding, so I decided to leave it out.
So glad I did. These cookies were amazing. All 43 of the ones I've tried.
In other exciting blog news, Santa came early this year and brought me something fun!
A tabletop lightbox setup! So, I really have no idea how to use it yet… but I'm excited to learn! Since I work all day and usually only cook when it's dark out, I'm always very much lacking natural light.
Note: Photos updated 12-24-18. Original photo below.
Ok, these look amazing and I'm so tempted to make this recipe.
I made on similar but it was with crushed pepermints, and not the jello. This sounds even better!
But that lightbox? That! I definitely need that in my life! I always cook and bake at night too, which of course is not the opportune time for photos of food. And my camera hates me too, ever since I dropped it in cornbread mix, but that's a story for another time. So I always use flash too! Where did you get it, or did you make it?
Maybe Santa can bring you one too!

MBA grad honored with Microsoft's highest award
Why it matters:
Microsoft honors Carey alumna, Roxie Mitchell Hill, with the Founder's Award. Hill was recognized for her work empowering girls in STEM and growing her clients' cloud-based businesses.
Article Highlights
Hill was recognized as a top 25 employee at Microsoft.
Paying it forward, Hill's volunteer work empowers girls in STEM.
Hill credits her Johns Hopkins MBA as part of her success.
Roxie Mitchell Hill, MBA and MS in Computer and Information Science ('06), climbed the ladder at Microsoft.
With eight promotions under her belt, she is now the Director, Global ISV Partnerships and was awarded the Microsoft Founder's Award in July. The annual award, Microsoft's highest honor, recognizes the top 25 of their nearly 150,000+ employees. Recipients receive a Rolex watch with Bill Gates and the awardees' initials.
Hill was recognized for her work managing Microsoft's executive, industry, and sales global partnerships. She helped her partners digitally transform their organizations and grow their cloud business over 300 percent year-over-year, which translated to significant revenue for both her partners and for Microsoft.
"By leveraging the power of the cloud, these partners are able to increase customer experience, demand, and retention, which directly impacts revenue growth and enables them to compete more effectively," Hill said.
And Microsoft isn't the only organization recognizing Hill's impact. She was also named one of the 100 Under 50 Executive Leaders by Diversity MBA Magazine in August. As an awardee, she is honored alongside executives at global operations including Amazon, Cigna, and L'Oréal.
She credits her Johns Hopkins degree as the launchpad for her success.
"My Johns Hopkins MBA prepared me to take my career to the next level. I had been successful at Microsoft, but my earlier roles were more tactical. The degree enabled me to evaluate Microsoft's business in a more strategic way. By viewing the business holistically, beyond my specific division, I was able to more effectively support our solutions, customers, and partners, which drove a greater organizational impact," Hill said.

The Founder's Award also recognized Hill for her extensive work with local volunteer and advocacy organizations. She is the vice president of ways and means of her children's school's PTA and serves on the NAACP Parent-Leadership Council. She also volunteers for DigiGirlz, Microsoft's initiative introducing middle school and high school girls to careers in STEM, and organizations like Black Girls Can, a non-profit empowering black girls and women to become entrepreneurs in STEAM fields.
"I am passionate about using my education, experience, and role to give back to my community and help the next generation of women and underrepresented minorities realize their potential particularly in critical STEM areas," Hill said.
arrows Carey Student Receives "Product Developer of the Year" Award
Hill knows first-hand how a high-impact career in technology can feel out of reach for some children. She was one of the first people in her family to graduate from college and then again one of the first to earn a graduate degree. She says she felt in over her head when starting at Microsoft as an intern at the age of 19 and recalls walking into a meeting with a CIO and realizing his office was larger than her apartment.
Hill attributes a large part of her success to the teachers, mentors, and allies who helped her navigate the new experiences, opportunities, and challenges after starting her career at Microsoft. Her volunteer work now helps high school and college students at similar inflection points in their journey. Hill continues to pay it forward with her work with local K-12 and college students. She has shared her story and spoken to over 500 students in the D.C. metro area.

Pursuing a career in STEM
While not all of her volunteer work is directly STEM related, she encourages everyone to consider a career in STEM.
"Whatever your passion is, it intersects with technology," Hill said.
She points to examples like the dancers who helped make the video game Just Dance come to life and writers who transform technical information into digestible consumer books.
"Being in tech doesn't mean that you have to be a coder," Hill said. "Tech organizations like Microsoft employ marketing resources, communication directors, relationship strategists, and of course programmers, program managers, and customer success resources. It's a melting pot of fantastic people who enjoy problem solving and driving our mission to empower every person and organization to achieve more."

In an art exhibit, a Portland photographer introduces the city to newly arrived Iraqi refugees
Updated Jan 10, 2019; Posted Oct 20, 2011
By Steve Beaven, The Oregonian
View full sizeBenjamin Brink/ The OregonianPortland photographer Jim Lommasson started working with Iraqi refugees early this year, shooting pictures of the personal items they took with them when they fled. An exhibit featuring this work runs through Oct. 29 at the Launch Pad Gallery, 534 S.E. Oak St.
When Baher Butti fled Iraq five years ago, he brought with him a photo of himself and his wife, Balsam, sitting in the shallow water of a lake in 1984, a happy young couple enjoying the beach.
Recently, Butti wrote a brief caption for the photo, reflecting the relative innocence of that time in his homeland compared with today: "Those were the days my friend .¤.¤. we thought they never end!"
Butti's picture and caption are part of a photography exhibit, "What We Carried: Fragments from the Cradle of Civilization," through Oct. 29 at the Launch Pad Gallery. The photos in the exhibit, which includes a panel discussion Saturday at the gallery, feature the otherwise unremarkable personal items that Iraqi refugees took with them when they left their country.
Portland photographer Jim Lommasson took pictures of the items, gave the refugees the pictures, then asked them to write captions reflecting the items' significance. The exhibit also features paintings by two Iraqi artists who now live in Portland: Farooq Hassan and Samir Khurshid.
But the photographs are the focal point of the exhibit, which Lommasson began in January. It grew out of photos of returning American soldiers he had taken for another project.

Gallery: Jim Lommasson and his exhibit What We Carried
The pictures of the Iraqi items tell another story about the war, Lommasson said, a story that introduces these recent immigrants to their new neighbors.
"I just felt that since now we're getting Iraqi refuges coming to Portland, we have an obligation to know them," he said. "We also have an obligation to help them."
Early this year, Lommasson began networking within the area's Iraqi community. More than once he turned to Lisa Kelly, the executive director of Better Life USA, a Southeast Portland nonprofit that works with refugees.
She helped Lommasson meet Iraqis in cultural orientation classes. She saw the project as it developed and believes the exhibit will help Portlanders better understand the newly arrived refugees.
"It gives Portland a chance to see them and meet them," said Kelly, who will be part of the panel discussion.
Through meetings and interviews, Lommasson said, he began to grasp the long journeys refugees must make before finding a second home.
Sometimes, they move through several countries after they leave Iraq and don't always have the time or means to take all their possessions with them.
One photo features a Nokia cellphone with a photo of a living room.
"The picture in the front is (from) my house in Baghdad," reads the caption. "This means home for us. This phone has all the numbers of our friends and relatives in Iraq as well as pictures."
In Iraq, Butti was a psychiatrist who ran a nonprofit clinic that provided mental health care for the poor. His wife was a family doctor.
Butti left Iraq in 2006 and traveled through different countries, enduring separations with Balsam, their daughter and two sons. Butti made it to Portland in 2007, but his family did not join him until 2009. Butti made it to Portland in 2007, but his family did not join him until 2009.
Now they live in a house in Cedar Hills. Butti is a case manager and counselor for refugees at Lutheran Community Services in Southeast Portland. Balsam hopes to get her medical license here, their daughter goes to Sunset High School, and their sons are Portland State University students.
In addition to the photo of himself and Balsam, Butti provided Lommasson with immigration papers, a painting by a former patient who was schizophrenic, and a birthday card made by his daughter when she was seven.
Butti is pleased with Lommasson's exhibit. He hopes the project will help others confront the issues of identity, refugees and war. He plans to be at the gallery, at 534 S.E. Oak St., for the panel discussion Saturday at 2 p.m.
When Butti met recently with a group of OHSU nurses in the midst of multicultural training, he offered them simple advice.
"I told them if you want to know about refugees," he said, "go visit this gallery."

Q: C# Email Regular Expression -- Any out there that adhere to the RFC 2822 guidelines? I realize that there are a ton of regex email validations, but I can't seem to find one that adheres to the RFC 2822 standard.
The ones I find keep letting in junk like ..@abc.com get through.
Forgive me if the one of the questions is already answered adhering to RFC 2822 (but not annotated that it is).

A: I did a post on this a short while ago. Yes, it is possible using .NET regex, since they have a non-regular feature called "balancing groups".
The Perl RFC822 one that is often posted doesn't fully match email addresses, since it requires preprocessing to remove comments. It's also for a very old RFC (from 1982!).
This regex is for RFC5322, which is current. It also handles all comments and folding whitespace correctly.
Here is the regex:

Some caveats, however. RFC5322 is more liberal with domain names than the actual domain RFCs, and there are other restrictions that apply from various RFCs such as the actual SMTP RFC itself (which specifies a maximum length). So even though an email is correct according to 5322 it can be invalid by various other measures.
The golden test is still to send an email to the address with a validation code.

A: This is for RFC822, not for the newer one. But it seems the address format has not been changed, so should be what you're looking for.
(note the remark below the regexp--it still assumes that the address has been preprocessed)

A: This runs in PCRE:  http://code.iamcal.com/php/rfc822/full_regexp.txt
It's 32k, apparently.
Seriously - maybe consider backing off using a single regexp, or accepting ALL possible email forms.

A: I would look at this: http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html, which explains a lot about using regular expressions to match email addresses, and includes a full RFC 2822 expression which honestly I would almost never recommended using.

Q: How to move frame down in LaTeX? I am writing one article using top and bottom margin.
 \usepackage[top=.5cm, bottom=.8cm, left=1cm, right=1cm, includefoot,showframe]{geometry}

I observe some spacing between frame and footer (here mdframed). How can i reduce spacing between footer and frame?

A: footskip is the key to adjusting the gap between the footer and the main body text, even when using the includefoot key in geometry. Here's an example showing the difference:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,geometry}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{lipsum,geometry}
\geometry{top=5mm, bottom=8mm, left=1cm, right=1cm, includefoot, footskip=0pt, paperwidth=5cm, showframe}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]

\newgeometry{top=5mm, bottom=8mm, left=1cm, right=1cm, includefoot, footskip=5pt}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

On the left is a footskip of 0pt, while the right shows a footskip of 5pt. The default document classes fixes this at 30pt.

HALLMARK HALL OF FAME CHOOSES THE BAYSTATE FOR THE FILMING OF THE JULIA STILES PIC "THE MAKEOVER
BOSTON. MA. September 12, 2012 – The Massachusetts Film Office (MFO) today announced production on the new Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, The Makeover will begin filming in Boston this month.
The film – which will premiere on ABC in 2013 – stars Julia Stiles (The Bourne Identity, Dexter) and David Walton (Perfect Couples, Heist), directed by John Gray (Ghost Whisperer, Hallmark Hall of Fame's The Seventh Stream). The teleplay is by C. Jay Cox (Sweet Home Alabama, Latter Days), based on George Bernard Shaw's classic Pygmalion tale, first performed 100 years ago.
"We are excited to have Hallmark here in Massachusetts", said Lisa Strout, director of the Massachusetts Film Office. "With a strong incentive program, our experienced crew and talent, and our fabulous locations we are happy to continue to draw projects such as this to Massachusetts."
"Especially since our story is set in Boston, we're thrilled to be actually filming it on location in Boston," says Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions president Brad R. Moore. "We've had total cooperation from the Massachusetts state film office, and from officials in the city of Boston. This is a real win-win situation: great for us, great for Boston and Massachusetts."
Hannah Higgins (Julia Stiles) is a smart, driven Harvard-educated professor. She is so driven that she decides to run for Congress to advance the cause of education reform. Unfortunately, Hannah's a disaster of a candidate; her considerable smarts translate to voters as "uppity."
For the next election, Hannah and her business partner, Colleen Pickering, played by Camryn Manheim (The Practice, The Ghost Whisperer), decide to recruit somebody to run who is definitely not uppity. Elliot Doolittle (David Walton), a Massachusetts native, delivers beer to local drinking establishments. He's a take-me-for-what-I-am character, and speaks with a broad South Boston accent.
Elliot and Hannah are about as oil-and-water as any two people can be. But as Elliot becomes a little more "proper" and Hannah becomes a little less "pompous," could this be a match made – maybe not in Heaven, but – in South Boston?
Julia Stiles has been described by the Los Angeles Times as "one of the most fearless and talented actresses in Hollywood." She has made her mark on the big screen starring in the "Bourne" trilogy, opposite Matt Damon (The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum). Her many other features include Hamlet, O, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Business of Strangers, Save the Last Dance and State and Main. She received Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for her work on Showtime's acclaimed Dexter series.
David Walton is a Boston native, and a 2001 graduate of Brown University. He's been featured in several television series, including Bent (2012), Happy Endings (2011), Perfect Couples (2011), 100 Questions (2010), Quarterlife (2008), Heist (2006) and Cracking Up (2004). He stars as Zooey Deschanel's love interest in the second season of Fox's New Girl. Features credits include Fired Up! and Burlesque.
John Gray is the creator of the TV series Ghost Whisperer, and has written and directed several episodes. He directed the ABC miniseries Empire (2005). He wrote and directed previous Hallmark Hall of Fame presentations The Seventh Stream (Scott Glenn, Saffron Burrows) and An American Story (Brad Johnson, Kathleen Quinlan), and directed A Place For Annie (Sissy Spacek, Mary-Louise Parker).
C. Jay Cox wrote the screenplay for Sweet Home Alabama (Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, Patrick Dempsey) and New in Town (Renee Zellweger, Harry Connick, Jr). He wrote and directed the award-winning Latter Days (2003).
The Makeover is from Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, Inc. Brent Shields (Firelight, A Smile as Big as the Moon) is the executive producer.

The State of Tax Incentives: Where They Are and How To Get Them (Boston)
MASS. FILM OFFICE ANNOUNCES HBO FILMS' "CLEAR HISTORY" TO BE SHOT IN MASSACHUSETTS


This product is also available in Big Bags.
Our range of calcium soaps consists of a number of different products, based on palm, rapeseed or olive oil, and is produced in either Europe or Asia. The advantage of this is that we can offer a suitable solution for various needs.
Profat is a calcium soap based on palm with a high melting point (> 100 °C) and an interesting price-quality ratio. In the Profat range we have the possibility to apply the fatty acids from palm oil in several ways. This makes it possible to reach a C16:0 content of up to 70%. Profat 58 is a variant with a maximum C16:0 content of 58%, keeping it below the 60% limit.
Profat Nat is a calcium soap based on palm. This version of Profat is 100% organic, without any synthetic antioxidants, and therefore very suitable for the production of milk that will be used in cheese production.
Monofat is a calcium soap that is 100% based on olive oil of European origin. The product has a granular structure and a light green color. Monofat has a neutral taste and the pleasant smell of olive oil. Due to the high proportion of unsaturated fats, Monofat can induce a change in the fatty acid pattern of the milk.
Colzafat is a calcium soap that is 100% based on rapeseed oil of European origin. Due to the high level of unsaturated fats, Colzafat can induce a change in the fatty acid pattern in the milk.


The Ghostly Hauntings at Chestnut Square tour is a 2 hour all-access flashlight led tour of 4 to 5 of the historic homes at Chestnut Square. Hear the history of the homes, the people who lived in them, how they lived and all the ghostly hauntings that happen in each house.
The tour starts at the school house which is on the north east side of the property.
Children 12-17 must be accompanied by an adult.

The Green Energy Agenda vs. Long Run Strategic Planning
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 8, 2021
Ed. note: Marvin L. Covault, Lt Gen US Army, retired, is the author of Vision to Execution and author at WeThePeopleSpeaking.com. This post, Long-Range Strategic Planning & The Green Movement," slightly edited, was recently published in ARRA News Service.
"All of this data leads us back to the question, can we spend trillions of dollars in support of a political-motivated soundbite that may or may not produce a net loss of carbon emissions and/or may not be feasible given the known quantities of minerals needed?"
"… the vast majority of the 195 countries cannot afford any of the Green movement. Do we print a few extra trillion dollars to bankroll them into Green compliance?"
President Biden has set goals for the U.S. to "Achieve 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035″, "Net-zero emissions by 2050," and "Cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030". Additionally, the party in power is pushing to have a majority of US-manufactured cars be electric by 2030 and every car on the road to be electric by 2040.
In total that says to we-the-people: shut down the coal/oil/gas-fired electric producing plants and drive electric cars.
Are we to believe those statements/directives in any way represent the results of an all-inclusive long-range strategic plan (LRSP)? No; not only no, but hell no, not even close.
Let's say that instead of making the above announcement to everyone, President Biden said to his Secretary of Energy, Granholm, "put together a LRSP for those issues". If the president had set in motion a comprehensive LRSP on energy, what follows is some of what the planners would be considering with their questions, discussions, research, and findings.
IEA on Critical Minerals
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Mark Mills brought to light the fact that the International Energy Agency (IEA), generally regarded as the world's most important source for energy information, recently released a 287-page report entitled, The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions.
Here are some highlights and lowlights from that IEA report.
Transitioning from today's energy production (coal, oil, gas, nuclear) to clean energy (wind, solar, batteries) requires minerals, lots of minerals such as lithium, graphite, nickel, and what are called, "rare-earth metals". Demand will explode by an estimated 4,200% (lithium), 2,500% (graphite), 1,900% (nickel) and 700% (rare-earth metals). Supply and demand drive pricing. When these dramatic increases occur and with greater competition for the metals, what will happen to the price of these minerals, and hence the price of a battery-powered car? Raw material costs already account for some 50-70% of total battery costs.
All of this mining requires a mining industry, massive transportation, refinement facilities, and infrastructure to support them that does not exist and there are no plans to build them. And to do so will cost a least hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars.
Production of an electric car requires six times more minerals than a conventional car. An on-shore wind plant requires nine times more minerals than a natural gas-fired plant and a wind turbine will need to be replaced in an estimated 20 years. In just the past ten years, as the transition to wind and solar has begun, the minerals needed to produce a unit of energy have increased by 50%. And that effort only increased the wind and solar share of energy production by 10%.
With greater demand for minerals, there is another long-range consideration, declining resource quality. Already we are experiencing mineral quality falling across a range of commodities. For example, the average copper ore grade in Chile declined by 30% in just the past 15 years.
The IEA reported that on average it takes over sixteen years to move a mining operation from discovery to production.
Environmental consequences: The new demand for minerals creates a global mining boom that will produce an enormous environmental footprint. First, it demands huge quantities of water and, coincidently, about half the known global lithium and copper sources are in water-shortage areas. Additionally, there will be extensive contamination from acid mining, contaminated drainage, and wastewater.
The IEA points out that the mining of "energy transition minerals" will occur mainly in countries with "low governance scores". That is, where corruption and bribery pose high-risk operations.
Viability of access to "energy-transition-minerals", ETM: While the top three global oil and gas producers account for less than 50% of oil and gas supply, the top three producers of key ETMs control more than 80% of global supply. But, most importantly, China controls most of that 80% and today the US isn't even in the game.
To contrast our position today with China, America is now 100% dependent on imports for some 17 key minerals, and, for another 29, over half of our needs are imported thereby creating tremendous vulnerability.
The IEA report also poses a critical question on future net carbon savings. Mining, transporting, chemical processing, and refining of billions of tons of earth materials will create a new and massive carbon footprint which could conceivably create new carbon emissions in greater volume than that which is saved by driving electric cars.
What do we do when we run out of one or more of the essential minerals to support battery energy?
What if the cost of producing batteries for vehicles increases the cost of a vehicle out of the range of lower- and middle-class families?
The planners would look at the Paris Global Climate Accords and conclude that the accords do nothing to address the IEA revealed shortcomings. Nations set their own goals, nothing is enforceable and there are no penalties for noncompliance. The accords also state that the 139 "developing countries" (which, according to The World Bank, includes China and India) would need assistance from "developed" countries. Wherein India promptly estimated that it would need "at least US $2.5 trillion" in aid by 2030 to achieve its emissions reduction targets." And then there is China's "pledge"; they will build hundreds of new coal-fired plants and continue to increase emissions of carbon dioxide at least until 2030.
Vehicles currently account for about 30% of US carbon emissions. A single electric car battery weighing 1,000 pounds requires extracting and processing some 500,000 pounds of materials creating a huge carbon footprint. Averaged over a battery's 7–10-year life, each mile of driving an electric car "consumes" five pounds of earth and, Americans alone, drive some 3 trillion road miles a year.
Replacing the energy output from a single 100-MW natural gas-fired turbine, itself about the size of a residential house (producing enough electricity for 75,000 homes), requires at least 20 wind turbines, each one about the size of the Washington Monument, occupying some 10 square miles of land, requires some 30,000 tons of iron ore and 50,000 tons of concrete, as well as 900 tons of nonrecyclable plastics for the huge blades. With solar hardware, the tonnage in cement, steel, and glass is 150% greater than for wind, for the same energy output.
Could we learn some long-range strategic planning lessons from China? In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch; moved the majority of their1.4 billion population from poverty to the middle class; initiated a global Silk Road infrastructure initiative in underdeveloped countries. By comparison, China has 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail, the US has none; it took ten years for a bus line in San Francisco to pass its environmental review, and it took us 16 years to build the Big Dig tunnel in Boston. China's emergence as a world leader in commerce and military preparedness is all about long-range strategic planning on a global scale.
Long-range strategic planning begins by answering a long list of questions. This IEA study goes a long way towards surfacing the critical issues that must be considered to determine a way ahead for any Green movement without just borrowing trillions of dollars to throw at the problem.
This LRSP will demand that we take a close look at the electric vehicle issue.
One electric car battery weighs in at about 1000 pounds. To produce one battery requires digging up and processing about 500,000 pounds of raw materials such as cadmium, cobalt, lead, lithium, and nickel. For example, for some of these type of materials, the end product is about one-half of one percent of the weight of the material dug out of the ground.
Numbers of vehicles: the US has about 290 million, there are over 1 billion worldwide.
There is some mind-numbing math associated with electric vehicles: Vehicles in the US travel about 3 trillion miles per year. Divide that by 290 million vehicles and we have 10,344 miles per vehicle per year. The average elective vehicle can travel about 200-300 miles and then must be recharged. That means each vehicle battery must be charged about 40 times per year. Forty charges per year for 290 million US vehicles equals 11.6 billion charging actions.
CO2 emissions from vehicles are not just a U.S. problem. To achieve success all nations need to be involved. To that point, there are about one billion vehicles in the world today. It would take 250 billion tons of materials to build a battery for every car, once. Currently, electric car battery life is seven to ten years and then we need to dig another 250 billion tons, and again and again. Is that feasible? By the way, replacing one vehicle battery pack currently costs anywhere from $1000 to $6000. In years ahead when the demand for raw materials increases exponentially, will battery costs be prohibitive for lower and middle-class-income families?
Where does the electricity come from to achieve the total annual charging requirements as well as all the other electrical needs? In the Green movement world, it comes from solar and wind production which leads us to more mind-numbing numbers about the tons of minerals to build wind and solar produced electricity.
The American Wind Energy Association says it takes somewhere in the range of 200 to 230 tons of steel to make a single wind turbine. The steel tower is anchored in a platform of more than a thousand tons of concrete and steel rebar, 30 to 50 feet across and anywhere from 6 to 30 feet deep. Add to that 45 tons of nonrecyclable plastic blades and 2 tons of rare-earth elements. Then after a life-cycle of around 20 years, start over.
If we want wind to produce half the world's electricity, we will need to build about 3 million more turbines. Three million turbines at 230 tons of steel each equals about 690 million tons of steel. To produce steel for one turbine requires about 150 tons of coking coal and about 300 tons of iron ore, all mined, transported thereby producing hydrocarbons. Will battery-powered vehicles actually give us net-zero carbon emissions? Probably not.
More bad news. Cement is the second most-consumed resource in the world, with more than 4 billion tons produced globally every year which generates about 8% of global carbon emissions. Then there are the emissions from all the trucks, trains, ships, bulldozers, cranes, and other equipment involved in turbine construction. Again, what will be the net carbon reduction?
Another downside to wind is that the turbines are so preposterously expensive that no one would dream of building one unless they were guaranteed a huge government subsidy, also known as tax dollars.
Another disturbing question; what do we do for power when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine? The most obvious answer is that we must maintain, at all times, a fully operational backup power source. Or do we just heat half the houses, run half the manufacturing plants, recharge half the vehicles and cell phones? Because of the requirement for near 100% backup, some experts predict a wind farm's power will actually cost around $25,000 for every home it powers.
The discussion of cement/steel requirement for energy from wind is sobering. I'm sorry to report that energy from solar power requires even more cement and steel than wind turbines to produce the same amount of electricity. Additionally, the production of solar panels requires large amounts of silver and indium. Mining of these metals is expected to increase by 250% and 1200% respectively over the next twenty years and someday we will likely run out of both.
Solar panels require other "rare-earth" elements which are not currently mined in the US. Demand for these elements is expected to rise 250-1000% by 2050. Access to these metals is questionable. For example, the Republic of the Congo produces 70% of the world's raw cobalt and China controls 90% of cobalt refining.
Geopolitics?
And then there are the geopolitical issues associated with global mining of essential minerals to support the gas emission goals issued by the Paris Accords and the Biden administration.
What leverage do we have over China to cause them to give us access to the rare metals they control in Africa? Probably none. Will future wars be fought over control of essential mineral deposits? Could be….
There are nations that are actively studying the electric vehicle issue; according to a British Professor Kelly, if all of the UK vehicle fleet is replaced with electronic vehicles, they would need the following materials: about twice the annual global production of cobalt; three-quarters of the world's production of lithium carbonate; nearly the entire world's production of neodymium; and more than half the world's production of copper. And this is just for the UK's 32 million vehicles.
OK, you get the picture, there is a tremendous amount of research that must go into the up-front part of LRSP before the leader begins making promises he/she cannot possibly deliver.
The above questions, discussions, and discovery is just a small fraction of what the planners would look at for weeks or months just to determine the answer to one question, is this a viable vision or is it hallucination?
Recall upfront, I described the LRSP process as simply answering the questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Vision is WHERE the leader is taking the organization. If the vision statement is viable, here is a quick look at how the remainder of the LRSP process will unfold. The next step is mission.
Mission answers WHAT. The mission is a declaration to everyone in the organization, in this case, that would be we-the-people, of WHAT it is we are all collectively going to do. The mission is not a paragraph, it is a single, clear, understandable statement.
One of the most memorable and important mission statements in our history was delivered on 25 May 1961 by President Kennedy before a joint session of Congress; "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon." Brief, clear, concise, memorable, repeatable, inspirational, and, most importantly, believed to be within the art of the possible.
Next is the leader's statement of intent. Intent is the most powerful tool available to a leader. A leader who uses intent in strategic planning is letting everyone in the organization inside his or her head. Intent answers WHO, WHEN, and WHY. Intent is a few short paragraphs, preferably less than one page. Brevity and clarity are paramount. Who is going to be in charge? What is the timeline from vision to execution? Why are we doing this? During World War II, General Eisenhower famously said, "American soldiers will do anything you ask of them as long as you tell them why."
The hardest part of any LRST is the strategy piece, determining HOW we are going to proceed from vision to execution; how, in general terms, we are going to get to the end state. Strategy is the long pole in the tent. Without a solid strategy, all we have is empty rhetoric.
Unfortunately, many times (particularly in Washington) the strategy is left out of the planning process, and, without the "how, the process just flounders and ultimately fails, having wasted billions or in this case perhaps trillions of dollars in a failed project.
An LRSP will be a phased operation. It's a little bit like getting on an airliner; you can't get a boarding pass until you make a reservation. You can't go through security until you get a boarding pass. You can't get on the airplane until you go through security. Phases are absolutely essential, and they will be based on objectives achieved, or time-phased, or both.
A second reason for phasing is that on day one of plan execution there is a lot you may not yet know, but more importantly, especially early in the game, you may not know what you don't know.
In every phase, there will be a deliberate process orchestrated by the leader to determine centers of gravity for each new approaching phase. Centers of gravity are persons, places, things, or circumstances that are central to success. That is, they can significantly assist in success or can cause failure. Once determined, the centers of gravity become must-watched issues.
LRSP is not rocket science but it can be the key to success for any long-range significant undertaking. In organizations where LRSP is not routinely used (the federal government), that organization will flounder and waste unimaginable amounts of time, energy, and money.
THREE FINAL THOUGHTS:
It is a certainty that the scope of increased mining to satisfy mineral requirements will create an enormous, new carbon footprint. The question is, from the totality of the Green movement, will there be a net overall reduction in carbon gases? This must be determined by scientists and engineers, not politicians. We-the-people need to know the answer. And we need to know now.
Secondly, generally speaking, the Green movement is based on a false premise and false promises. A principle underpinning of the pro-green argument is that the energy source is "renewable." Technically, yes wind and sun are renewable. But, in the larger sense, in order to harness that renewable wind and sun, it will be necessary to mine, transport, and refine literally billions of tons of minerals, many of which are already classified as "rare." For example, the world needs about 3 million more wind turbines in order to produce 50% of the world's electric needs. To build 3 million turbines will require mining of about 1 billion tons of iron ore and not one ounce of that iron ore is "renewable." Then, in about 20 years we replace all 3 million worn-out wind turbines with another billion tons of iron ore.
Finally, the vast majority of the 195 countries cannot afford any of the Green movement. Do we print a few extra trillion dollars to bankroll them into Green compliance?
We-the-people need an in-progress-review briefing from our leaders on the status of the long-range strategic plan for the Green movement.
Don't hold your breath.
Ed. Note: The above LRSP approach is a central-planning exercise compared to self-interested, voluntary actions between market participants within a private property, rule-of-law regime. The decentralized market creates an undesigned order versus a centralized approach. Still, as Marvin Covault explains above, the Green New Deal fails from a LRSP perspective.

A note regarding the CO2 issue: Manufacturing JUST THE BATTERY for the electric car produced the same amount of CO2 as a gas powered engine produces in 8 years.

Hello: Do you have cites and sources for your estimates? Also, I wouldn't label "renewables" as part of the Green movement. Many greens like myself are horrified at what is being proposed. Lastly, carbon gasses are only one aspect of climate. No one talks about damage to soils and hydrology, which also changes climate. A true green solutions is found in land restoration, ecological preservation and deep conservation. Ultimately, we have to recognize that the industrial economy has reached its ecological limits.

ha, ha. Of course there are no cites or sources. At least half the "information" is made up, and other portions are just blatant lies. Since the author clearly has little-to-no understanding of the topic(s), it is likely he has just taken Oil, Gas, and Nuke industry dis-information and splattered it together. A bit embarrassing for an Army General, but things are what they are.

I used Berrisom cat animal collagen mask couple nights ago. This mask had a strong alcohol smell. The material is the same papery material, which is pretty thick. So the fit was pretty horrible. Mouth started lifting after 5 minutes. I left the mask on for 30 minutes. There was a non-sticky after finish. I didn't feel that there was any immediate results, but when I woke up in the morning my face was glowing. Not sure if it was from this mask or something else from my routine.. I probably wouldn't repurchase due to the bad fit.
