P.R.I.S.M. = Peeping Reconnaissance Is my Spy Mission by Honey Goodnight

2

Did Obama save me from Slick Willy or was Barry Peeping again?

My satire was inspired by Obama's PRISM, a NSA surveillance program used to combat terrorism by mining your private data from 9 companies: Facebook, Google, YouTube, Microsoft (Hotmail, etc), Yahoo, Skype, PalTalk, AOL, and Apple.

“I think it’s important to recognize that you can’t have 100 per cent security and also then have 100 per cent privacy and zero inconvenience,” - President Obama's answer to a NSA question on June 7th, 2013

Is the Surveillance State of Big Brother Obama watching you?

Lancashire - Blackpool - Tower Prior to 1993. And Interesting Facts About it. by pepandtim

The Postcard

A Golden Shield postally unused postcard that was published by FISA of London and Barcelona. They state that the card was printed in the E.E.C.

The reference to the E.E.C.means that the card was published prior to 1993. The European Economic Community (EEC) was a regional organisation that aimed to bring about economic integration among its member states. It was created by the Treaty of Rome of 1957.

Upon the formation of the European Union (EU) in 1993, the EEC was incorporated and renamed the European Community (EC).

In 2009, the EC's institutions were absorbed into the EU's wider framework, and the community ceased to exist.

Blackpool Tower

Blackpool Tower is a tourist attraction in Blackpool, Lancashire, which was opened to the public on the 14th. May 1894. When completed Blackpool Tower was the tallest man- made structure in the British Empire.

Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is 518 feet (158 metres) tall and is the 120th.-tallest freestanding tower in the world. Blackpool Tower is also the common name for the Tower Buildings, an entertainment complex in a red-brick three-storey block that comprises the tower, Tower Circus, the Tower Ballroom, and roof gardens, which was designated a Grade I listed building in 1973. The tower celebrated its 126th anniversary in May 2020.

When the Tower opened, 3,000 customers took the first rides to the top. People paid sixpence for admission, sixpence more for a ride in the lifts to the top, and a further sixpence for the circus.

The top of the Tower caught fire in 1897, and the platform was seen on fire from up to 50 miles (80 km) away.

The Tower was not painted properly during its first thirty years and became corroded, leading to discussions about demolishing it. However, it was decided to rebuild it instead, and all the steelwork in the structure was replaced and renewed between 1920 and 1924.

On the 22nd. December 1894, Norwegian ship Abana was sailing from Liverpool to Savannah, Georgia, but was caught up in a storm, and mistook the recently built Blackpool Tower for a lighthouse. Abana was first seen off North Pier, and later drifted to Little Bispham where she was wrecked, and can still be seen at low tide. The ship's bell still hangs in St Andrew's Church in Cleveleys.

In 1940, during the Second World War, the crow's nest was removed to allow the structure to be used as a Royal Air Force radar station known as 'RAF Tower', which proved unsuccessful.

A post box was opened at the top of the tower in 1949.

The hydraulic lifts to the top of the tower were replaced in 1956–57, and the winding-gear was converted to use an electric motor.

The top of the tower was painted silver in 1977 as part of Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee celebrations. A giant model of King Kong was placed on the side of the tower in 1984. In 1985, escapologist Karl Bartoni and his bride were married suspended in a cage from the tower.

The lifts and winding gear were again replaced in 1992. The same year the tower complex was renamed Tower World, and was opened by Diana, Princess of Wales. The tower is usually painted in dark red, except for its centenary year in 1994 when it was painted gold by abseiling painters.

In 1998, a 'Walk of Faith' glass floor panel was opened at the top of the tower. Made up of two sheets of laminated glass, it weighs half a tonne and is two inches thick.

In October 2007, a laser beam installed on the Tower for the duration of the annual Illuminations was criticised by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore, presenter of television programme 'The Sky at Night', who said:

"Light pollution is a huge problem.

I am not saying we should turn all

the lights out, that is not practical,

but there are some things which

are very unnecessary. The Blackpool

Tower light is certainly something I

do not think we should be doing.

I very much oppose it.'

The beam could be seen 30 miles (48 km) away; Moore called for it to be stopped. The Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston said that the laser added to a spiralling problem affecting astronomy.

The tower has transmitters for local FM station Radio Wave 96.5 and some non-broadcast services.

Painting the Tower structure takes seven years to complete,[ and the workers who maintain the structure are known as 'Stick Men'. There are 563 steps from the roof of the Tower building to the top of the Tower, which the maintenance teams use for the structure's upkeep.

If the wind speed exceeds 45 mph (72 km/h), the top of the Tower is closed as a safety precaution. If the wind reaches 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) the tower top sways by an inch.

5 miles (8 km) of cables are used to feed the 10,000 light bulbs which are used to illuminate the Tower.

In April 2002, the Tower maintenance team was featured in the BBC One programme 'Britain’s Toughest Jobs'.
