Original story Extract from Energypower Annual Report, 2017 Energypower Ltd Annual Report: R&D Dept. Electric Plant & Forestry Project The Research and Development Department has been led during the period under review by Prof. Akorn Suphorn. The Department employed 192 persons at the end of the year. Operational and database processing capacity averaged 900,000 Gb/min. These figures also include computer-driven artificial organisms. In the course of the year the R& D Department has been engaged on a number of projects geared to new sources of energy. The most successful venture has been the energy forest, which is already into the pilot phase. In contrast, investigations into the extraction of heat from the earth’s crust, slow-filtering of solar radiation, and marine current generators have shown that at this point the technology is not economically viable. They will be re-examined in a year or two, by which time energy transfer technology may have developed in such a way to render them financially attractive methods of energy generation. ...

Original story SatWeb 11.01.2017 Feral cybermoles cause of flooding in Athens metro tunnels Investigations by Athens City Council into the recent flooding that caused chaos in the metro tunnels under the Greek capital have revealed a surprising culprit. The holes found in tunnel walls were caused by cybermoles. A preliminary report on the incident was handed in today by Chief Engineer Paulos Kristianos. Cybermoles have been used with great success in cases of tunnel collapse, and in the wake of mining accidents. On this occasion, however, it seems as though some escaped cybermoles used during the renovation of the metro system had unexpectedly survived and gone feral, boring several shafts between the metro tunnels and the capital’s principal water mains. Metro traffic in Athens was at a standstill for several hours, as the damaged trains had to be individually towed to the depot before the lines could be pumped out and re-opened for passenger traffic. ...

Original story VirtualSport - sales brochure 9.12.2016 Virtual tennis keeps you fit and virile Finding it hard to keep up? Puffed out on stairs? Gone off sex, have you? Sound familiar? You’re in bad shape - and the WHO says you are not alone! Fortunately, there’s now a simple answer: Virtual Tennis. Many of us reach for our mute-button when we hear the words “working out” or “physical exercise”. It brings back unhappy memories of stress, aches and pains in places where you didn’t know you even had places, the rank smell of sweaty bodies, unhygienic dressing rooms with wet floors, and expensive monthly payments for the pleasure. But there ARE pleasant ways of taking exercise and keeping fit. One of the nicest is tennis. The only problem today is cost: with the amount of space required for each user of a court, it’s beyond the reach of all but the very rich. ...

Original story SatWeb/HansardEU realtime transcript, EP 25.4.2015 Speech by Dame Stacia Hawkwind, MEP, at preparatory committee prior to 1st reading of the Bill on the Prohibition of Advertising Toys and Dolls Madam Chairman, fellow MEPs, I must admit I had not grasped the full import and danger of this question until last weekend, when I visited my constituency and spent Saturday evening at home. If you will permit me, I shall offer you a brief fragment from my family life that may open your eyes as much as it did mine. Naturally it would be ideal if all of us had the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the toys under discussion, but regrettably time does not allow. The manufacturing plants are turning these advertising devices out as fast as they can make them, and soon voters across the continent will be well and truly brainwashed. How will we then be able to reach a sensible decision? ...
