Like some kind of 21st century Willy Wonka, audacious entrepreneur Elon Musk
chose a prime spot on the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot tour to
unveil his latest attempt to energize an industry — roofs that generate
solar power but look like no other.
Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Motors and chairman of SolarCity,
showcased a line of high-design solar roof tiles that would replace
clunky solar panels and tie into an upgraded version of the Tesla
wall-mounted battery for those times when the sun doesn’t shine. The
glass solar shingles resemble French slate, Tuscan barrel tile or more
conventional roofing materials with a textured or smooth surface.
“The key is to make solar look good,” Musk said during the
product introduction staged on the old set of ABC’s “Desperate
Housewives” series, where he had re-roofed four of the Wisteria Lane
houses. “If this is done right, all roofs will have solar.”

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

CHINA'S COAST GUARD NO LONGER PATROLLING THE SCARBOUROUGH SHOAL AS THE JULY 12TH HAGUE DECISION HAS MADE CHINA TO RECONSIDER THE PHILIPPINES RIGHTS TO FISH IN THE SOUTH SEA BY CHINA'S ADMISSION OF ALLOWANCE BUT NOT BY THE LEGAL ADMISSION - AS DUTERTE BEIJING VISIT MAY HAVE PUSHED THE ASIAN COUNTRY TOWARDS THE EMPIRE OF CHINA INSTEAD OF THE WEST REPUBLIC
Chinese ships are no longer at the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea
and Philippine boats can resume fishing, the Philippine defense
minister said on Friday, calling the Chinese departure a “welcome
development.”
Philippine fishermen can access the shoal unimpeded for the first time in four years, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said, capping off a startling turnaround in ties since his country rattled China by challenging its maritime claims at an international tribunal.
The departure of the Chinese coast guard ships comes after President Rodrigo Duterte’s high-profile visit to Beijing and his repeated requests for China to end its blockade of the shoal, a tranquil lagoon rich in fish stocks.
“Since three days ago there are no longer Chinese ships, coast guard or navy, in the Scarborough area,” Lorenzana told reporters.
“If the Chinese ships have left, then it means our fishermen can resume fishing in the area.”
Though the Scarborough Shoal is comprised of only a few rocks poking above the sea some 124 nautical miles off the Philippine mainland, it is symbolic of Manila’s efforts to assert its maritime sovereignty claims.

THE FBI BOMB SHELL PRE ELECTION REVELATION OF THE HILLARY FOR POTUS 2016 SCANDALOUS EMAIL SERVER KEEPS COMING OUT AND NOW TO TORPEDO HER BID FOR THE HOT SEAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Donald Trump doesn’t do understatement, so it was predictable on Friday evening that he should liken to Watergate the reopening of the FBI investigation
into Hillary Clinton’s supposedly insecure use of her private email
server. But this was more than the latest twist in an unpleasant
campaign that has little to do with policy or a vision for America, and
much to do with the character defects, real or imagined, of the two
principal candidates. This could change a race that appeared, otherwise,
to be over.
Since Mr Trump faced embarrassment with the disclosure of a tape of him expressing repulsive sentiments about women, followed by a parade of females of varying degrees of credibility alleging he had attempted sexual improprieties with them, the Clinton camp had treated their victory as a fait accompli. The opinion polls had shown a narrowing, but still significant, gap between the candidates in the days before the FBI announcement: Mr Trump was around five points behind in RealClearPolitics’s national poll average on Friday morning. Now, voters have a Democratic candidate who, if elected, could before long be on trial and, if convicted, in jail.

HILLARY THE PRO FOR FIXING ELECTIONS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NO LESS HER OWN ELECTION FOR POTUS 2016 THROUGH THE MSM - AS THE HILLARY WANTED THE PALESTINIAN ELECTION TO BE PRE-DETERMINED IN 2006 BY ANY MEANS BY FIXING IT - THE DEMOCRAT WAY OF WINNING
On September 5, 2006, Eli Chomsky was an editor and staff
writer for the Jewish Press, and Hillary Clinton was running for a
shoo-in re-election as a U.S. senator. Her trip making the rounds of
editorial boards brought her to Brooklyn to meet the editorial board of
the Jewish Press.
The tape was never released and has only been heard by the small handful of Jewish Press staffers in the room. According to Chomsky, his old-school audiocassette is the only existent copy and no one has heard it since 2006, until today when he played it for the Observer.
The tape is 45 minutes and contains much that is no longer relevant, such as analysis of the re-election battle that Sen. Joe Lieberman was then facing in Connecticut. But a seemingly throwaway remark about elections in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority has taken on new relevance amid persistent accusations in the presidential campaign by Clinton’s Republican opponent Donald Trump that the current election is “rigged.”
Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).
“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”
