Former President Barack Obama signed a law in
2016 requiring FEMA to create a system that lets US presidents
send cellphone alerts regarding public safety issues like
natural disasters and terrorism.
US cellphone users will
not be able to opt out of the alert system. The test message on
Thursday, Oct 3, 2018 is scheduled for 2:18 p.m. EDT and will
read: "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert
System. No action is needed."

Presidential Height Index
Did you know that in the past 27
US presidential elections, the shorter candidate has won only six
times? Handlers for Jimmy Carter (5' 9") went to great lengths to
prevent him from standing next to the taller Gerald Ford (6'). It
worked, Carter won.
The tallest President elected to office was Abraham Lincoln at 6' 4" and George Washington was 6' 2". Eighteen presidents have been 6 foot or taller. James Madison was the shortest at 5 foot 4.
Mitt Romney is 6’2” and Barack Obama is 6’1”.
Michigan is the only state that has a statute prohibiting height discrimination. (Maybe because Jimmy Hoffa was 5'5").

What You Look Like on Facebook
Many people innocently spend way too much time on Facebook and tell way too much about their personal lives. Now researchers have found a way to determine your personality by your Facebook friends and the things you like. It might be time to think about what you say electronically before your fingers hit the keyboard.
Researchers have created a website that combines the Facebook profiles of fans of companies and public figures with personality testing to create a sophisticated new marketing tool.
Barack Obama, Adam Sandler, and Family Guy all attract the same type of personality on Facebook, according to a newly-launched website, http://www.likeaudience.com , which has been designed by two researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Sarah Palin appeals to a rather different personality type. Her followers are likely to be more traditional in mindset, disciplined, dutiful, and older than the average Obama fan. Unsurprisingly, her typical Facebook followers are not hockey-mums, but men. Long before the internet or Facebook, my mother told me to be careful about the people I hung around with. How prescient she was.
