Moody Blues - Dream Sequence (1969) (it's a 12 minute tune)

imo, one of the best songs of the Moody Blues ...

Back in the progressive music days when multiple songs were continuum of music.

OK, here's the first song of that musical amalgam ...

genius.com

...
Spoken:

When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Come to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying

As new life will come from death, love will come at leisure
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream
...

Yeah, they don't write lyrics like that anymore. :)

Trump to Issue Executive Order on Voter ID Before Election

@#3 ... Are you saying you were a Frat Boy? ;-) ...

I've said it in the past that I was a member of a Fraternity.

Indeed, I remember the miranda7 alias stating to me that I do not seem like a Frat boy, when I last mentioned it, oh, a year or two ago.

I learned a lot from my Fraternity experience. Besides the enduring friendships, while i was in college I was managing the budget for the Frat house when I was the Treasurer. With mortgage and utility payments and all. I remember having to walk to the bank each month to pay the mortgage and to deposit the checks for room rents because, back then, there did not exist automatic fund transfers.

But, there it is....

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."

For those keeping score, Lewzer has now signed 459.

Trump to Issue Executive Order on Voter ID Before Election

It's hard to see how an Executive Order by the President has any authority over how the several States conduct their elections. The Constitution is pretty clear on this.

But I suspect Trump will find willing collaborators among the Republican Governor to give teeth to his toothless order, especially in the South.

"Trump threatens to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections

President insists he will also restrict mail-in voting, even if Congress fails to pass the Save America Act

"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!" Trump posted in one of a series of missives sent while onboard Air Force One on Friday afternoon after speaking to troops at Fort Bragg.

"Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel," the president added, falsely, since there is no popular majority for banning vote by mail.

In fact, polling conducted last year showed the exact opposite: 58% of Americans favor allowing any voter to cast their ballot by mail if they want to.

Trump's efforts to impose voter ID requirements are likely to face immediate legal challenges, as the US constitution leaves the conduct of elections to the states."

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

... In an internal memo last year, Meta said the political tumult in the United States would distract critics from the feature's release. ...

Five years ago, Facebook shut down the facial recognition system for tagging people in photos on its social network, saying it wanted to find "the right balance" for a technology that raises privacy and legal concerns.

Now it wants to bring facial recognition back.

Meta, Facebook's parent company, plans to add the feature to its smart glasses, which it makes with the owner of Ray-Ban and Oakley, as soon as this year, according to four people involved with the plans who were not authorized to speak publicly about confidential discussions. The feature, internally called "Name Tag," would let wearers of smart glasses identify people and get information about them via Meta's artificial intelligence assistant. ...

I bet Trump is going to have us turning Coal into Gasoline, like the Nazis did!

Leuna works
en.wikipedia.org
The proximity of the site to lignite (brown coal) mines was also advantageous for the production of syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) and tests of coal conversion into liquid fuels on an industrial scale. The Leuna plant for the commercial hydrogenation of lignite started production on April 1, 1927.[4]

In late 1925, BASF became a branch of IG Farben, operating as Ammoniakwerk Merseburg GmbH " Leuna Werke. The site was rapidly expanded in the 1920s and 1930s, with plants producing methanol, synthetic petrol derived from the hydrogenation of lignite, amines and detergents.[5] The synthesis of petrol, although expensive compared to world market prices, was pursued in order to reduce Germany's dependency on imported oil products. As Germany possesses very few petroleum deposits of its own, seven hydrogenation plants were constructed and were producing synthetic petrol by 1939, Leuna being the largest.

Alternative facts
en.wikipedia.org

@#51

Found this ...

... "Alternative facts" was a phrase used by U.S. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway during a Meet the Press interview on January 22, 2017, in which she defended White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's false statement about the attendance numbers at Donald Trump's first inauguration as President of the United States.

When pressed during the interview with Chuck Todd to explain why Spicer would "utter a provable falsehood", Conway stated that Spicer was giving "alternative facts". Todd responded, "Look, alternative facts are not facts. They're falsehoods."[1]

Conway's use of the phrase "alternative facts" for demonstrable falsehoods was widely mocked on social media and sharply criticized by journalists and media organizations, including Dan Rather, Jill Abramson, and the Public Relations Society of America.

The phrase was extensively described as Orwellian, particularly in reference to the term doublethink. Within four days of the interview, sales of George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four had increased 95-fold, which The New York Times and others attributed to Conway's use of the phrase, making it the number-one bestseller on Amazon.com.[2] ...
