You've been told multiple times to PM JanAmos for access to the Wiki being developed. That's basically exactly what you want. But we can't link to it here and it is not public yet due to him personally hosting it!
Executive Order 13526 was issued on December 29, 2009 by United States President Barack Obama.[1] It is one of a series of executive orders from US Presidents outlining how classified information should be handled. It revokes and replaces the previous Executive Orders in effect for this, which were EO 12958 (text) and EO 13292 (text).
As a component of the Obama Administration's initiative to improve transparency and open-access to the Federal Government and the information it produces formally introduced upon taking office in late January 2009[2] and as a result of an agency-wide review and recommendation process ordered in May of that same year,[3] the issuance of EO 13526 was ultimately prompted by several factors.
One factor was the large backlog of documents scheduled to be automatically declassified on December 31, 2009 and how to deal with that reality.[4] Another factor was delivering on a campaign promise.[5]
These latest regulations, at the time, went into full effect on June 25, 2010 except for sections 1.7, 3.3, and 3.7, which were effective immediately on December 29, 2009.[6][7] [8]
EO 13526 restated the authorized list of designees who can originate classification, in effect rescinding any previous designations made by officials or agency heads to subordinates.
A significant provision of EO 13526 is the creation of the National Declassification Center. The major focus is the idea that information should become declassified systematically as soon as practicable. Specific time limits are mentioned for different kinds of information, but there is also the provision that information that still needs to be classified can stay classified. Mechanisms are outlined for periodic reevaluation of the need to classify information, even if the result of the evaluation is to keep the information classified.

We know that social media creates endorphins , we know that all major social media platforms use it .
During the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, while undergoing an fMRI bran scan, 30 men--half self-described as "strong" Republicans and half as "strong" Democrats--were tasked with assessing statements by both George W. Bush and John Kerry in which the candidates clearly contradicted themselves. Not surprisingly, in their assessments Republican subjects were as critical of Kerry as Democratic subjects were of Bush, yet both let their own candidate off the hook.
The neuroimaging results, however, revealed that the part of the brain most associated with reasoning--the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex--was quiescent. Most active were the orbital frontal cortex, which is involved in the processing of emotions; the anterior cingulate, which is associated with conflict resolution; the posterior cingulate, which is concerned with making judgments about moral accountability; and--once subjects had arrived at a conclusion that made them emotionally comfortable--the ventral striatum, which is related to reward and pleasure.

We have VERY strict rules set up with mods and dashen for us to have these threads.
Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite to go around the Earth.[3] It was made by the Soviet Union.[3] It was launched on 4 October 1957 at Baikonur Cosmodrome.[3] It orbited (went around) the Earth for three months.[3] It carried a radio transmitter. It did 1,440 orbits of the Earth during this time. It went down into Earth's atmosphere on 4 January 1958 and burned up.[3]
The United States was very surprised when the Soviet Union sent Sputnik 1 into space. It did not want to fall behind. So, it began spending more money on science and education.[4] This was when the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States began.

There have been a few in the Caribbean, but not close enough to Little St. James to have been able to cause the fire. Here's one: M 5.0 - 49km N of Grande Anse, Guadeloupe

MIDTOWN, NY — Todd Brassner, a prominent Andy Warhol art dealer, once sold a 1967 self-portrait of the iconic artist for more than $600,000. Warhol and Brassner were so familiar that the artist talked about his encounters with the collector multiple times in his autobiography, "The Andy Warhol Diaries." Warhol even painted a portrait of Brassner, a photo of which can still be seen on Brassner's Facebook page.
A bankruptcy filing confirmed Brassner, who bought his Trump Tower unit in 1996, was an art collector and dealer. He suffered "debilitating medical problems" that made it hard for him to function, CBS News reported.
