Hawaii

Due to the large number of aircraft registered in the United States, the U.S. assigns alpha-numeric identifiers according to the following rules.

N-numbers may only consist of 1 to 5 characters and must start with a number other than zero and can not end in more than two letters. In addition, N-numbers may not contain the letters I or O, due to their close similarity with the numbers 1 and 0.

Each alphabetic character in the suffix can have one of 24 discrete values, while each numeric digit can be one of 10, except the first, which can take on only nine values. This yields a total of 915,399 possible registration numbers in the namespace, though certain combinations are reserved either for government use or for other special purposes.

• The primary argument in favor of Daylight Saving Time (more popularly known as Summer Time in Europe, Africa and South America) is the reduction in energy costs. Let's say for example that you awaken every day at 7 AM and that the latest sunrise near the winter solstice where you live is just before 7 AM. Let's say also that you live at a latitude where the sun is rising an hour earlier three months after the winter solstice. If you begin DST at that time, the sunrise time jumps to just before 7 AM again, which you don't notice because you sleep until 7. However, because the sunset is also suddenly an hour later according to the clock, you are turning on your lights an hour later every day than you would be without DST.
• A lot of people like having that hour of daylight effectively shifted from before they wake up to the evening so they may enjoy more outdoor activities in the evenings when the weather warms up.
• Many prefer driving home from work or school in daylight rather than in darkness.
• Another popular reason for a country to adopt DST is to stay in sync with a neighboring country with which they do a lot of trade and which observes DST.

The first reason given above is gradually fading away. Around the world, Edison-type incandescent bulbs are being replaced by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and CFLs are being replaced by LED lights, which consume a small fraction of the power consumed by incandescent lights of the same brightness. Meanwhile, in hotter climates closer to the tropics, public opinion regarding air conditioning continues to shift from "luxury" to "necessity", so with most homes using an extra hour of air conditioning in the evenings while their lighting cost savings fade away, DST will likely become a cause of higher energy costs in those warmer climates!

Hawaii was not conquered at gunpoint. The USA annexed Hawaii and made it a territory. In other words the US pointed a cannon at Queen Likiokalani's palace and read a piece of paper stating that Hawaii now belonged to the US. No battle was fought, but the Queen was placed under house arrest. Some native Hawaiians have even made the comment, "Early European settlers on a mission first told Hawaiians to look up to God as their savior and as they were looking up... their land was stolen beneath them". During the Age of Imperialism, America wanted to expand its borders across the world in hopes that with more land by American rule that it would become more powerful and industrious than the other leading nations. That is true and proof is written in the Monroe Doctrine. However the United States offered and Hawaii wanted/needed protection as a state, against other eventual and destined foreign invasions, where the outcome could've been even more severe for Hawaiian people. They thought it would be better to accept a place in a democracy instead of risking attack by a communist country or dictatorship. 1) Hawaii never needed protection. Since 1843 they signed a treaty with England, France and the US and it was clarified that the Hawaiian Kingdom would remain neutral in time of war among other nations. 2) Hawaii currently is used as a battle ground. In other words, people of Hawaii would suffer first, being the stepping stone from Asia to the continental US. So no, Hawaii is not being protected but rather protecting the US from major casualty. 3) In 1898 the Newlands Resolution, created by U.S. Congressman Francis G. Newlands was passed by Congress. This is a resolution where, according to the US Constitution, is used domestically only. The US has no jurisdiction outside of its boundries. That would be like anyone in the House of Representatives come up with some Resolution having Iraq become a territory of the USA and have the President approve it, and the people of Iraq will have no say in it. First of all, in the US Constitution Article II, Sec. 2 does state who has the power to make treaties. It isn't the House.

This could also be the same if they decided to do that to Mexico, without any type of agreement from the Mexican Government. 4) Prior to the summer of 1898, the newspapers of the US were criticizing the fact that Congress wanted to annex the Hawaiian islands. People back then were (as they are still now) racist against dark skinned people and really didn't want the islands to be part of the US. 5) The Hawaiian People never relinquished their sovereignty. 6) The US had a part in overthrowing the Queen in 1893 by way of Foreign Minister Stevens. There was a long investigation (Blount Investigation) prompted by President G. Cleveland to which the US found out that they were wrong and requested that the Queen be immediately be put back on the throne. 7) There are a total of 4 instances where the US has admitted its wrong doings in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Government.

1 - The Bount Investigation

2 - 1988 Legal Opinion entitled "Legal Issues Raised by the Proposed Presidential; Proclamation to Extend the Territorial Sea"

3 - 1996 legal opinion entitled Validity of Congressional-Executive Agreements that Substantially Modify the United States' Obligations Under an Existing Treaty"

4 - 1993's Apology Bill signed by President Clinton
It was stolen from the Monarchy by a small group of politically connected and wealthy American businessmen.
In 1893, with Queen Liliuokalani on the throne, American businessmen formed a Committee of Safety and declared the monarchy ended. In 1894, the Republic of Hawaii was established. On August 12, 1898, the government of the Republic transferred sovereignty to the United States. and Hawaii became a territory.
