Definitions and restrictions on pornography vary across jurisdictions. The production,distribution,and possession of pornographic films,photographs,and similar material are activities that are legal in many but not all countries,providing that any specific people featured in the material have consented to being included and are above a certain age. Various other restrictions often apply as well. The minimum age requirement for performers is most typically 18 years.
An age verification system,also known as an age gate,is any technical system that externally verifies a person's age. These systems are used primarily to restrict access to content classified,either voluntarily or by local laws,as being inappropriate for users under a specific age,such as alcohol,tobacco,gambling,video games with objectionable content,pornography,or to remain in compliance with online privacy laws that regulate the collection of personal information from minors,such as COPPA in the United States.

Community wind projects are locally owned by farmers,investors,businesses,schools,utilities,or other public or private entities who utilize wind energy to support and reduce energy costs to the local community. The key feature is that local community members have a significant,direct financial stake in the project beyond land lease payments and tax revenue. Projects may be used for on-site power or to generate wholesale power for sale,usually on a commercial-scale greater than 100 kW.

Wind turbine syndrome and wind farm syndrome are terms for the alleged medical condition related to the proximity of wind turbines. Proponents claim that these effects include congenital abnormality,cancer,vertigo,nausea,autism,ADHD,death,tinnitus,stress,fatigue,memory loss,migraines and sleep deprivation,for which there is no scientific backing. The distribution of recorded events,however,correlates with media coverage of wind farm syndrome itself,and not with the presence or absence of wind farms. Neither term is recognised by any international disease classification system,nor do they appear in any title or abstract in the United States National Library of Medicine's PubMed database. Wind turbine syndrome has been characterized as pseudoscience.
Meadow Lake Wind Farm is an 801.25 megawatt (MW) wind farm near Brookston and Chalmers,Indiana,spreading over portions of White,Jasper,and Benton Counties. It is owned and operated by EDP Renewables North America. The facility currently has six operational phases,with 414 turbines,and is a prominent feature on both sides of Interstate 65 in western Indiana.
The U.S. state of Massachusetts has vast wind energy resources offshore,as well as significant resources onshore. The 2016 update to the states's Clean Energy and Climate Plan had a goal of reducing 1990 baseline greenhouse gas emissions levels by 25% by 2020. Current goals include installing 3,500 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind power in the state by 2035. However,as of Q4 2021 the state had only 120 MW of wind powered electricity generating capacity,responsible for generating 0.9% of in-state electricity production. The state has awarded contracts to two offshore projects,the 800 MW Vineyard Wind project and 804 MW Mayflower Wind project. Construction began on the Vineyard Wind 1 project on November 18,2021,after a long fight for approval. Commonwealth Wind was selected for development in 2021,but the developer has attempted to cancel the project due to increased costs. There are eight projects planned for off the southern coast of Massachusetts,though some will deliver power to Rhode Island,Connecticut,and New York.
The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 was a United States bill designed with the stated intention of increasing enforcement of laws related to the prosecution of child pornography and child sexual exploitation offenses. Representative Lamar Smith (R-Texas),sponsor of H.R. 1981,stated that,"When investigators develop leads that might result in saving a child or apprehending a pedophile,their efforts should not be frustrated because vital records were destroyed simply because there was no requirement to retain them."
The Authority for Television on Demand (ATVOD) was an industry body designated by Ofcom as the "co-regulator" of television on demand (VOD) in the UK from 2010 until 2015. ATVOD was founded following a European Union directive on the regulation of audiovisual media. It was responsible for regulating on-demand services such as ITV Player and Channel 4's All 4,as well as paid-for content on websites which were deemed to be "tv-like". ATVOD's role with regard to VOD ended on 31 December 2015,when the function was taken over by Ofcom directly.
Wind power in Hawaii is produced by the state's 132 commercial wind turbines,totaling 236 MW in capacity. In 2015,wind turbines produced 6.4% of Hawaii's electricity. In 2012,Hawaii generated 367 million kWh from wind power.
The U.S. state of Connecticut has vast wind energy resources offshore as well as onshore although Connecticut was the last state in the United States to block the construction of utility scale wind turbines. Connecticut maintains a renewable portfolio standard that requires 21% of the state's electricity to come from renewable sources by 2020.
Wind power in Arkansas remains nearly untapped,with just a single wind turbine in the state. Arkansas does not have a renewable portfolio standard. Studies have concluded that while Arkansas is generally considered to have low wind resources,there are significant pockets of it throughout the state.
