JUNE 24, 2022 - Today's Supreme Court decision is illegitimate. No such decision can be legitimate when it tramples on the civil rights of human beings, in this case approximately half of our national population.

Vulcan Materials U23B 2779 is spotting the empty rockrunner hoppers on the siding at Annapolis Jct, MD, August 29, 2018. The venerable locomotive was built for the Lehigh Valley by GE in November 1974 for the Lehigh Valley as their 503. Upon the LV's absorption into Conrail on April 1, 1976, it became CR 2779-a number it continues to display in 2018.

The words of people that controls us
لناس وكلامهم
يالها من عقدة تدور في اغلب المجالس والمجتمعات
من هم الناس الذين نخاف من كلامهم ؟
ولماذا وصل بنا الحال الي الخوف منهم الي هده الدرجة ؟
هل من المعقول ان نضطر لفعل اشياء لانرغبها .من اجل ارضاء الناس ؟
العاطل على العمل يخشى كلام من الناس
المطلقة تخشى كلام الناس
والعانس وكذللك الفقير يخشى كلام الناس
تتعدد الاسباب التي من اجلها نخشى من الناس وكلامهم؟
الم نسال انفسنا لماذا هذا الخوف؟
هل هو فعلا خوف من كلام الناس
او انه خوف من المظهر الذي سنظهر به امام هولاء الناس ؟
فالكثير منا يود الظهور بالشكل اللذي يحبه ويرغبه ؟
لكنه يخشى منا ردة فعل الناس ومن كلامهم
ماا سيقول الناس عنه ؟
وكيف سينظرون اليه مستقبلا؟
وبذلك يخسر طموحه..ورغبته في الظهور بالشكل الذي اراده
وذللك كله بسبب خوفه من نظرة الناس وكلامهم
To the people and their words
What a spin node in most councils and communities
Who are the people who are afraid of their words?
And why the case reached us to fear them to class this topic?
Is it possible that we have to do things Anrgbha. in order to satisfy people?
Unemployed to work the words of fear of people
Absolute fear what people say
And Tabby and Kzllk poor people fear the words
There are many reasons why people are afraid of their words?
Pain ask ourselves why this fear?
Is it really fear of what people say
Or that fear of the appearance that we will show it in front of these people?
Many of us would like to appear in the form, who is loved and desired?
But he feared the reaction of our people and their words
What's people will say it?
And how it will look him in the future?
And so .. lost his ambition and his desire to appear as desired by
All of this is because of his fear of people and their words look

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout.
The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II* listed. The station's celebrity owes much to numerous cultural appearances, which include a shot in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help!, appearing in the video for the 1982 hit single "Another Thing Comin´" by heavy metal band Judas Priest and being used in the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, as well as a cameo appearance in Take That's music video "The Flood."
In addition, a photograph of the plant's control room was used as cover art on Hawkwind's 1977 album Quark, Strangeness and Charm.
The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. However, the building's condition has been described as "very bad" by English Heritage and is included in its Buildings at Risk Register. In 2004, while the redevelopment project was stalled, and the building remained derelict, the site was listed on the 2004 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund. The combination of an existing debt burden of some £750 million, the need to make a £200 million contribution to a proposed extension to the London Underground, requirements to fund conservation of the derelict power station shell and the presence of a waste transfer station and cement plant on the river frontage make a commercial development of the site a significant challenge. In December 2011, the latest plans to develop the site collapsed with the debt called in by the creditors. In February 2012, the site was placed on sale on the open property market
through commercial estate agent Knight Frank. It has received interest from a variety of overseas consortia, most seeking to demolish or part-demolish the structure.
Built in the early 1930s, this iconic structure, with its four distinctive chimneys, was created to meet the energy demands of the new age. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott – the man who also designed what is now Tate Modern and brought the red telephone box to London – was hired by the London Power Company to create this first of a new generation of ‘superstations’, with the building beginning to produce power for the capital in 1933.
With dimensions of 160 m x 170 m, the roof of the boiler house 50 m tall, and its four 103 m tall, tapering chimneys, it is a truly massive structure. The building in fact comprised two stations – Battersea ‘A’ and Battersea ‘B’, which were conjoined when the identical B section was completed in the 1950s, and it was the world’s most thermally efficient building when it opened.
But Battersea Power Station was – and is – so much more besides. Gilbert Scott lifted it from the prosaic into the sublime by incorporating lavish touches such as the building’s majestic bronze doors and impressive wrought-iron staircase leading to the art deco control room. Here, amongst the controls which are still in situ today, those in charge of London’s electricity supply could enjoy the marble-lined walls and polished parquet flooring. Down in the turbine hall below, meanwhile, the station’s giant walls of polished marble would later prompt observers to liken the building to a Greek temple devoted to energy.
Over the course of its life, Battersea Power Station has been instilled in the public consciousness, not least when Pink Floyd famously adopted it for its Animals album cover and launch in 1977. As a result of its popularity, a great deal of energy has been expended in protecting this landmark.
Following the decommissioning of the ‘A’ station in 1975, the whole structure was listed at Grade II in 1980 before, in 1983, the B station was also closed. Since that time, and following the listing being upgraded to a Grade II* status in 2007, Battersea Power Station has become almost as famous for plans heralding its future as for its past. Until now, that is.
The transformation of Battersea Power Station – this familiar and much-loved silhouette on the London skyline – is set to arrive, along with the regeneration and revitalisation of this forgotten corner of central London. History is about to be made once more.
