Q: R reactive shiny with an updateSelectInput I make an updateSelectInput on shiny, it's working. But after I can't use the new input as a variable for an output... The input is always empty. I give you the code for the SelectInput in Ui.R and the update in server.R. I can't give more, because the updating is made via an access database. And if I create data.frame just for the example, it will work...
selectInput("indic","Indicateur :",
                                    choices = NULL,selected = NULL),

observeEvent(input$Source,{
          indicateurs<-as.character(voila_source(input$Source)$Indice)

          updateSelectInput(session,"indic",
                            choices = indicateurs)
     })

output$summary<-renderTable({
          information<-voila_source(input$Source)
          information<-information[,-1]
          indica<-input$indic   ##here is empty...
          print(indica)
          description<-filter(information,Indice==indica)
          description
     })

Maybe I forgot something, I don't know. I want select an input and print a data.frame corresponding at the input selected.
EDIT : Answer found
Ok my code and your code work... It have to push on the submitbutton... But I don't want to push on submitbutton for that, I want just to click on selectInput to print my output, that is a description of the selectInput, and if I want this one, I push on the button to display a graph.
I found the error, the submitbutton, I replaced by actionbutton and it's working... I was not aware about the submitbutton and actionbutton.

A: Judging from your example, it seems you have not initialised your indicateurs or indica variables is that correct?
If so you would need a couple of extra lines. The reason your solution (creating data.frame) works is that when you're testing your app, the variable already exists for the observeEvent or renderTable functions to act on. So simply add some lines in your script to do so before they are called.
Here is an example using reactiveValues (which would be better to work with when using a shiny app):
selectInput("indic","Indicateur :",
                                    choices = NULL,selected = NULL),

# goes in your server.R
reactives <- reactiveValues(indicateurs = NULL, indica = NULL)
observeEvent(input$Source,{
          reactives$indicateurs <-as.character(voila_source(input$Source)$Indice)

          updateSelectInput(session,"indic",
                            choices = reactives$indicateurs)
     })

output$summary<-renderTable({
          information<-voila_source(input$Source)
          information<-information[,-1]
          reactives$indica<-input$indic   ##here is empty...
          print(reactives$indica)
          description<-filter(information,Indice==reactives$indica)
          description
     })

Uncovering a key player in metastasis

ScienceDaily (Nov. 15, 2011) — About 90 percent of cancer deaths are caused by secondary tumors, known as metastases, which spread from the original tumor site.
To become mobile and break free from the original tumor, cancer cells need help from other cells in their environment. Many cells have been implicated in this process, including immune system cells and cells that form connective tissue. Another collaborator in metastasis is platelets, the blood cells whose normal function is to promote blood clotting.
The exact role played by platelets has been unclear, but a new paper from Richard Hynes, the Daniel K. Ludwig Professor for Cancer Research, and colleagues shows that platelets give off chemical signals that induce tumor cells to become more invasive and plant themselves in new locations. The findings, published Nov. 14 in Cancer Cell, may help researchers develop drugs that could prevent cancers from spreading, if they are diagnosed before metastasis occurs.
For many years, cancer biologists believed that platelets helped to promote metastasis by helping the cells to form big clumps, allowing them to get stuck in new locations more easily. However, some suspected they might have a more active role, because they contain many growth factors and cytokines, many of which can stimulate cancerous growth.
Before cancer cells can metastasize, they typically undergo a shift known as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). During this shift, cells lose their ability to adhere to each other and begin to migrate away from their original locations.
Myriam Labelle, a postdoc in Hynes' lab and lead author of the Cancer Cell paper, found that cancer cells would undergo this transition if grown in contact with platelets in a lab dish. She then analyzed which genes were being turned on in the metastatic cells and found that genes activated by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta, or TGF-b) were very active. TGF-beta was already known to promote EMT. Labelle then went on to show that depletion of TGF-beta from platelets in vivo blocked metastasis.
"This work shows that platelets are not just a shield for circulating cancer cells, but also a traveling kit of pro-invasive stimuli," says Joan Massagué, chair of the cancer biology and genetics program at the Sloan-Kettering Institute, who was not part of this study. "For nearly three decades platelets have been known to be the richest source of TGF-b in the body, yet it is only now that someone realized what an important role platelets play as a TGF-b source in tumor dissemination."
A complex interaction
In further experiments, Labelle found that the cancer cells would not become metastatic if exposed only to TGF-beta, suggesting that they need an additional signal from the platelets.
Platelets release many chemicals other than TGF-beta — they are "little bags of stickiness and growth factors," designed to promote wound healing, says Hynes, who is a member of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. However, none of those chemicals on its own was enough to promote metastasis. Labelle found that direct physical contact between platelets and tumor cells was necessary for the cells to become metastatic.
Specifically, when platelets come into contact with tumor cells, they somehow activate the NF-kappa-b pathway, which is involved in regulating the immune response to infection. Both of the signals, NF-kappa-b activation and TGF-beta, are necessary for the switch to occur.
While tumor cells receive the initial stimulus to become mobile while still in their original location, Hynes and Labelle suspect that the additional boost they get from platelets once they enter the bloodstream makes it easier for the cells to penetrate the walls of blood vessels into a new tumor site.
White blood cells are also suspected in promoting metastasis, and Labelle is now doing experiments to figure out what their role may be, and how they may work together with platelets. She is also examining how platelets activate the NF-kappa-b pathway in tumor cells.
Better understanding of the signals that tumor cells need to metastasize may help researchers develop drugs that can prevent such metastases from developing. "It's important to understand exactly what platelets are doing, and eventually this could be an opportunity for drugs that would treat metastasis," Labelle says.
Such an approach would be useful for stopping primary tumors or metastases from spreading, but would likely not have much effect on secondary tumors that had already formed.

It is a form of American music that emulates free markets. Diverse elements coming together to create a unified whole. This gal has some strong lips:
How We Get to the Future
In the news today: Iowa CCI (Citizens for Community Improvement) gathered inside the Iowa State Capitol. We have to be thankful that people are welcome inside our State Capitol Building. One of their demands was a moratorium on rent payments until the end of 2021. Here is a perfect example of ignorant people who have no idea how a peaceful society can operate through self-ownership and individual rights. In spite of that they get a voice. If you are confused about why I say this, consider the landlord.
The landlord worked and saved to purchase the property. He (this is not the U.S. House of Representatives so I can say "he" instead of "it") pays taxes and maintains the property. The renter has a simple relationship with the property. He calls the landlord when any of the infrastructure fails (no heat, no water, no electricity). Basically, Iowa CCI thinks the landlord should be a slave. If he were black, would that change things?
In photos of the Capitol in Washington I see a guy carrying a confederate flag and a guy dressed up as if for Halloween, both among undisturbed paintings and sculptures. There was one photo of some idiot carrying Nancy Pelosi's $1,000 lectern. A $1,000 lectern illustrates that our rulers have not made progress from the extravagant royalty that our forefathers rebelled against in 1776. "People are hurting" and Mrs. Pelosi uses a $1,000 book stand?
What's with these "insurrectionists, thugs, and dangers to our democracy" that they don't know how to start a fire? All summer long public and private property has been destroyed by social justice warriors and you'd think those events were like Ground Hog Day. But now, decades-long laws about voting procedures were broken and people who question the results are labeled anti-democracy.
I am the last person on earth who would be infected with Trump Adoration Syndrome. A lifelong Democrat gets elected president as a Republican, then leaves office after one term with the Senate, the House, and the presidency all in the hands of Democrats. There is something fishy here. The established order was under threat so election officials changed the rules.
In looking for what could have prevented the chaos in the last election, two things are obvious.
Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard's bill, Securing America's Elections Act of 2018 went nowhere because Republican and Democrat lawmakers don't like evidence. It would have required paper ballots in federal elections. The other is the really big deal though. As Frederic Bastiat said, a proper government would make elections inconsequential. A proper government wouldn't be up for auction through voting.
Votes are directly influenced by input received by the voters. Hitler won in a landslide. He controlled the media. I used to claim the government should keep its hands off the media in accordance with the First Amendment. Donald Trump tried to disarm the Communications Decency Act of 1996. It allowed tech companies to censor speech and absolved them of any liability (much the same as pharmaceutical companies are not liable for any deleterious effects from Covid-19 vaccines).
Tech companies are now part of the United States government. They have been operating that way for years around the world such as in the destruction of Syria and Libya, and now are doing the same thing here. The corruption of language makes the connection hazy but the effect is plain.
Trump pardoned a bunch of crooks and murderers but left real patriots to rot. Julian Assange and Edward Snowden were real journalists. Justice Hugo L. Black said, "… and paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people."
The tech/media complex paints the present conflict as simply Trump versus anti- Trump. Where do we come in? People ask, "Where do you stand?" My category does not exist. I'm anti-democracy. The reason elections are now so important is because they are vehicles of legalized theft. Legal seems good, right? Put that in perspective by considering what was legal in Zimbabwe, 1930s Germany, or Ukraine in 1932.
Those events were promoted for the common good, as were the events in U.S. cities last summer and Portland even today. "Democracy" and "anti-fascism" were rallying cries. Democracy is anti-minority by definition. Fascism, by Mussolini's definition is an alliance of state and private interests.
What we are seeing today is Fascism. The goal of the rulers is to enslave us. Look around. There are $1,000 lecterns and $20,000 medals of freedom. Is that wealth available to "the people?" The erasure of history and silencing of dissent going on now will ensure mediocrity and poverty for our children and grandchildren.
Columbia Helicopters – Part 2
Posted on January 8, 2021 by fritzgroszkruger
Columbia finished up by Clark Fork in spite of the guy with the shiny new "tin hat." Learning the ways of any new job can be confusing and with 10,000 pounds flying around, the consequences can be severe. So, phew!
We moved south to Coeur d'Alene and it was a two-hour drive from the Dead End so I got a motel room. It was an example of what a motel should be like. It was a series of little cabins and I could park my car right outside. The manager (who by the way, was eligible for Medicare) sat in a recliner in front of a picture window. She lit her cigarettes from the previous smoke. She had a giant ashtray stacked high with butts. It was like a freshman in college stacking empty 12-pack boxes as a sign of accomplishment.
Summer brought conditions that were perfect as long as it stayed under 85 degrees. Above that, the ship couldn't lift enough weight to justify the fuel and labor expense. It was hard for the loader to keep up and so he had to put a lot of dirty logs in the trim deck. That took some pressure off of me, the knot bumper and fit right in with my tendency for procrastination. I paid with interest later.
The loader operator and I stayed after everyone else had quit for the day. After a ten-hour day we went another three or four. The guy was constantly opening the door of the Cat 966 and yelling at me to hurry up. We had several trucks waiting so going late took a load off the next day's work.
Finally the trucks quit coming and the piles of logs were cleaned up. We headed down the mountain. I can hardly believe today what good shape I was in to keep at it like that. About halfway home I told my master to stop so I could get out and upchuck.
The Coeur d'Alene project lasted into winter and I was homesick for the Dead End so I quit and went home. We had wood to cut for winter and the snow gets really deep in Northwest Montana, at least it used to.
When living like my frugal mom taught me, I could take winter off and live on savings. I made $7.62 per hour in the mid-seventies. That was pretty good and I had no gym expense.
Google employees are forming a union. They are organizing to have more say in Google's policies, not wages. The median pay at Google is $258,708 per year.
There are trade-offs in life. I've enjoyed physical work in the natural world. I imagine Google employees shop for fashions and work in an environment devoid of any life but what sticks out of a collar. They pay to run an exercise machine that produces nothing, and climb fake cliffs. That might explain the wide acceptance of fake money.
How fortunate we are that there are "different strokes for different folks," as Sly Stone wrote in 1968. Google employees can have their cubicles and outlandish wages. That keeps them from clogging up our beautiful countryside.
If there was one solution
I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing. I now deny their power of making paper money or anything else a legal tender. I know that to pay all proper expenses within the year, would, in case of war, be hard on us. But not so hard as ten wars instead of one. – Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Taylor [November 26, 1798]

Columbia Helicopters (early 70s)
Posted on December 31, 2020 by fritzgroszkruger
Working for a gippo logger can be off and on. My retirement account was not growing working for Charlie Veach, and a friend said there were some really good jobs to be had out of Clark Fork (Idaho) logging with helicopters.
I went to town and bought some new leather gloves and a plastic hardhat with a bill. Up the mountain I went to meet my new boss, Lew Morgan. He looked like Paul Bunyan; black beard, suspenders, and a red and black plaid shirt.
He said, "Good, you're hired." and threw my gloves and hardhat off the edge of the landing. "Get a tin hat that will keep stuff off your neck and cloth gloves. They need to tear if you're in trouble. And cut that hem off your jeans so a stick doesn't hang you up." I was like, "Okay."
We were logging cliffs and other hard to reach places because the chopper didn't care. The timber we took was rare because of that. All the other log trucks through town were loaded with pecker poles. Ours often had a full load of only three logs. The Boeing Vertol could make a round trip in a minute and a half if we were close.
I set chokers, which means putting cables around logs. The chokers had eyes on the end that were grasped by an electric hook. We had to estimate the weight and pair up the logs to maximize the efficiency of each trip, the opposite of a housewife driving a Cadillac Escalade. We put the eyes together so the hooker could put them in the hook when the pilot lowered it to him. The hook weighed 150 pounds and swung on the end of a 150-foot cable.
Mostly I worked on the landing. We had to remove the chokers from the logs and coil them in piles of ten to send back up the mountain. Any logs that aren't limbed and bucked to suit the mill have to be taken care of between turns or later in a separate deck from the ones ready to load on a truck. I can't remember the name of the loader operator but he was a master at his craft. He also taught young newbies a lesson about gambling.
When we were done around Clark Fork we traveled and lived in motels. That loader operator held crap games and cleaned out some paychecks in a lesson cheaper than school.
I got pretty good with a chainsaw cleaning up tree-length and brushy logs. Usually we had two guys on the landing. Retrieving and coiling three chokers in a minute and a half was good sport. Doing that and running the saw was extreme. One day Lew came up in his pickup and found the guy I was working with swearing at the saw. He looked at it and the chain was in backwards. Haha. Lew fumed like there was smoke coming out the collar of his shirt and grabbed a double bitted axe. The loader was waiting on us, but not yet the ship. Lew ran down a brushy fir log with that axe and it looked like an old Disney cartoon, with limbs flying all over.
We stared in awe. Then I turned the chain around.
The Black Community's Best Friend
I'm sure our friends remember Wally, our Huntaway Dog. He has been gone three years now. He was named after Walter E. Williams, because he was black. He also was a dedicated friend, as Dr. Williams was to the black community.
Now we've lost Walter Williams as well. Sometimes a friend is taken for granted. A real friend is there for you no matter what.
I'm speaking as a white guy who has lived in diverse neighborhoods. As such, my viewpoint can be objective and judgmental. Being in rural Iowa for the last forty years makes me distant from those diverse neighborhoods but also not swayed by group-think and propaganda.
In everyday life we deal with others as individuals. Those of us who see others as mere members of a class or race are depriving themselves of many joys as social beings.
As a black man who was born to a single mother in the projects of Philadelphia, Walter Williams was a neighbor to Bill Cosby, Weird Harold, and Fat Albert. In the service he was an activist for racial equality. He was even court martialed for speaking up with fellow soldiers. He defended himself and was found not guilty.
Walter Williams constantly harped on government constraints as defined by the Constitution. It grew tiresome. But let's examine his intent.
Walter Williams focused on this because of his roots and his realization that it is violations of the Constitution that are responsible for problems in black and low income communities. He never looked at the Constitution as some ancient scrap of paper. It was a set of rules to him and wound up as the answer that settled uncounted debates.
I find it interesting the role models that are promoted by community leaders. It is almost like they are promoting failure to ensure power for people who don't deserve it. Achieving stardom in the world of entertainment or sports is extremely rare, requiring exceptional skills or connections. Aiming this high guarantees failure if the learning of useful skills are ignored in the process.
Anyone who plays sports would be appalled if rules were routinely broken or compromised. Why bother to play if a touchdown were achieved by a run to the five-yard line or you were called safe when the throw beat you to first base?
Dr. Williams called out the same thing in his focus on the Constitution. Article One, Section Eight spelled out Congress' duties and Amendment Ten declared all other actions by Congress to be unconstitutional. Breaking these rules has corrupted the purpose of government.
In his later years Walter Williams focused more on education, as that was his path to success. He exposed the failure of inner city schools to prepare students for a successful life in the article he wrote the day he died.
In two Milwaukee high schools only one student tested proficient in math and none were proficient in English. Yet an entire week was spent learning about "systemic racism" and "Black Lives Matter activism." What kind of a cruel school administration and teachers would do this to their students?
Reading a letter in the Cedar Rapids Gazette a few months ago criticizing Dr. Williams' column, I was so disheartened that such a gift to the black community as he would have his help rejected with such hatred.
I will miss the loving kindness of both Walters forever.
A Duty to Read
Mr. Trump is certainly a wild and crazy guy. Two thousand dollars apiece is still not enough. Why stop there? In this world where we are willing to destroy our childrens' futures and call it compassion (people are hurting), anything goes.
At first when I heard Trump wanted to give (or have Santa give) each of us $2,000 I thought he was kidding. But anyone who can declare bankruptcy five times and get elected president proves that the cream does not rise to the top. The top is where the scum is and it's pretty crowded. Or, is Trump trying to educate us on the stupidity of legalized theft? The minimum wage follows the same philosophy, an arbitrary declaration of how much liberty is to be sacrificed for a guess at fairness. If a minimum wage of $15 suits the millionaires' utopian vision, why not $100? Fifty dollar hamburgers anyone?
Anyone who has voted for Charles Grassley or Joni Ernst on the grounds of fiscal responsibility should be comfortable with what went on just north of us last month. There was fifty acres of grass in the Conservation Reserve Program. The contract expired and the land was sold. I came out of the house and looked north to find it on fire and a giant disk was murdering all life that had been thriving there for the last twenty years or so.
I asked the new owner what they planned for the land. He said "organic soybeans." "Organic" is supposedly morally superior to chemically dependent farming. There was this extremely rare ecosystem, a refuge for God's creatures. The disk releases vast quantities of carbon (theoretically responsible for "climate change") to the atmosphere and most soil life is destroyed. Morally superior? I doubt it. On top of that, he asks, "What about that river, does it flood?" I told him only 37 out of the last 40 years. He bought 50 acres without knowing it floods too often to profit from growing crops. Only government central planning (tax breaks in this case) could produce such illogical waste.
A logical use of that land would have been grazing (or maybe haying) the usually good grass with the option of moving the cattle out of the inevitable flood. But nowadays lawyers and accountants make more profitable farmers than producers of food.
Various lobbies had produced tax policies that made illogical land use justified in the same way the insane Covid relief bill benefits lobbyists instead of people.
The Smithsonian received a billion dollars from that program. We have a subscription to the magazine and there was an article about indigenous people in Southeast Alaska. They have a concept " …that not only honors one's ancestors but takes care to be responsible to future generations." Future generations are being impoverished by these reckless attempts at correcting these fascistic decrees as a feeble attempt to stop a virus.
But let's not stop there. Egypt is to receive $1,300,000,000. Show me the American who wants to give Egyptians $1.3 billion. We gave an Egyptian some money once for a pretty neat little ottoman that we stuffed with kapok from my father-in-law's old mattress he had in World War II (two). We thought it was a fair exchange.
We've arrived at this point through interpretations of precedent by courts through the years. Judges no longer go back and read the original design, they just look at the most recent decisions that, like the telephone game, have expanded the limits of government over the years.
We no longer look for mutual beneficiaries for our financial dealings. We are addicted to "seeking funding," which means finding the best way to steal. H.R. 133 is 5,593 pages long. As I looked through the list of thieves who voted for the bill I noticed that outgoing Congressman, Steve King didn't vote on it. I mentioned that to Dawn. She said, "Maybe he hasn't finished reading it."
Today, communists think it is voluntary, peaceful and fair. They will find out.
Activists spreading awareness of the Holodomor in Ukraine are attacked by Communist supporters and sympathizers. Chicago, 17 December 1933.
Merchantys of death celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. Kinda weird, ain't it?
If you don't know what this is, ask.

I ran into a problem with my DVD-RAM unit. Low writing speed.
Why? Because DMA wasn't active.
Why it wasn't active? Because of the "best" mounting software - DAEMON TOOLS.
Just uninstall it, and your DMA will most probably be active once again, and you will write DVDs at 8x, and not 2x!!!

Does anyone have experience with an Elgato EyeTV 310 (connected to a Mac G5) and a Dragon module ? Everything is fine on my Humax receiver, but not on the EyeTV. Thanks !!
powerbook g4, macmini g4, dual powermac g5, eyetv 310, eyetv 410.
have you had any luck with the eyetv-310?
I'm bumping this old thread that I found, as I'm curious if anyone has got the EyeTV 310 to work with a dragon CAM?
The 310 is fantastic for FTA broadcasts, but I'd like to be able to get Channel 4 as well, for which I need a Sky FTV card.


Partagas spent 10 years perfecting the unique wrapper and the La Vega Especial binder for the Partagas Black Label cigar. Cuban-seed Medio Tempo cigar wrappers are darker and richer than most because they're harvested only after they having aged on their plants 50% longer than typical wrappers. The La Vega Especial binder is sun-grown in the DR for a deep, rich flavor, while the full bodied character is enhanced by a blend of Nicaraguan Ligero & Dominican Piloto Cubano Ligero. The blend and the large ring gauge make the Partagas Black Label cigar into a real espresso of a cigar, deeply dark in color and extra rich and full bodied flavor.

Legal action initiated in UK as drone strikes continue in Pakistan, Yemen and Gaza
It was announced yesterday that a legal proceedings will be initiated in the High Court in London to challenge British complicity in US drone strikes in Pakistan.
Reprieve together with Leigh Day & Co, acting on behalf of the family of Malik Daud Khan, one of 40 people killed in a CIA drone strike on a tribal gathering in North Waziristan in March 2011, are suing Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, William Hague over British intelligence agency support for the strikes. Richard Stein, Head of Human Rights at law firm Leigh Day & Co said:
"We believe that there is credible, unchallenged evidence that the Secretary of State is operating a policy of passing intelligence to officials or agents of the US Government; and that he considers such a policy to be "in 'strict accordance' with the law". If this is the case the Secretary of State has misunderstood one or more of the principles of international law governing immunity for those involved in armed attacks on behalf of a state and/or the lawfulness of such attacks; and his policy, if implemented, involves the commission of serious criminal offences by employees of GCHQ or by other officials or agents of the UK Government in the UK."
So far the Foreign Office has yet to respond. Meanwhile drone strikes have continued in Pakistan and elsewhere over the past weekend.
On March 9th between 8 and 12 people (reports vary) were killed in a US drone strike in South Waziristan. Yemeni officials and local witnesses also reported US drone strikes on Friday in Baydar, in the South of Yemen and again on Sunday in Jabal Khanfar. US military sources however refused to comment on these drone strikes .
At least 20 Palestinians, including a 12-year old boy have also been killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza over the weekend. On Friday Israel carried out the 'targeted killing' of Zuhair Al-Qaissi, the leader of the Popular Resistance Committee (PRC). Two other people were also killed in what witnesses said was a drone strike although this has not been possible to confirm. Responding to the Israeli targeted killing, rockets were fired at Israel which led to further Israeli airstrikes, which are continuing. Israeli drones are reported to be carrying out some of the airstrikes.

Drone 'beast' captured in Iran – others rampage in Afghanistan and Gaza
RQ-170 Sentinel drone
There has been intense media coverage of the downing of a US drone in Iran over the past week. Iran has previously claimed that it has shot down 'Western drones' (as we reported here) but they have never provided proof despite saying they would.
Initially the US denied any of their drone had been downed and then said that the drone may have been one lost in Afghanistan previously. Within days however the CIA was saying – through the usual 'unnamed sources' – that it was one of their drones that had crashed inside Iran.
The drone concerned is a RQ-170 Sentinel. It was dubbed the 'Beast of Kandahar' when the then unknown drone was first spotted by the press in 2007 and 2009. It's existence was officially confirmed – and its name officially revealed – in late 2009. However little detail about the drone has been revealed. All that is known about the drone is that it is stealthy, jet powered and unarmed.
The Beast - tamed
On December 8, Iranian TV showed video footage of the drone and claimed that they had electronically hijacked it and brought it down. This seems improbable and its far more likely the drone simply crash landed. The fact that bottom of the drone was covered and it appeared to have no landing gear also points towards a crash. When contact with a drone is lost, the drone is programmed to go into a holding pattern until contact is recovered. Perhaps the drone did this until it simply ran out of fuel. However the drone, which flies at a high altitude, would have been much more damaged if it had crashed in this manner so many questions remain. Some have questioned whether the drone displayed by Iran was in fact a fake.
In a protest letter about the incursion of the drone on to it territory, Iran has called on the United Nations to condemn the "violation of international rules by the U.S. government."
Meanwhile other drone 'beasts' continue to rampage. There has been two days of violence in Gaza following an Israeli drone strike. According to the Irish Times "Gaza residents said a 42-year-old civilian was killed in an Israeli air strike on Hamas training facility. Seven members of the man's family were wounded, including his father, wife and five of his children."
And no doubt, US and UK drone strikes in Afghanistan continue completely unreported. Time these drone 'beasts' were caged too.

As drones continue to kill, drone protests go global
15/11/2011 02/02/2019 Chris Cole
Tariq Aziz attending the drone meeting in Islamabad. Photo: Reprieve
We reported two weeks ago on the killing of 16 year-old Yemeni teenager Abdul-Rahman, the son of Anwar al-Alwaki who was himself the victim of a drone strike a few weeks previously. However Abdul-Rahamn was not the only 16 year-old killed in a drone strike this month.
A few thousand miles away 16 year-old Tariq Khan and his 12 year-old cousin Waheed were killed in a drone strike in North Waziristan on October 31. A few days before being killed, Tariq had attended a meeting on the drones organised by British human rights group, Reprieve with the aim of encouraging local people to document the strikes taking place in their area. Lawyer and campaigner, Clive Stafford Smith talks about the Jirga and meeting Tariq in his piece for the New York Times piece:
Tariq was a good kid, and courageous. My warm hand recently touched his in friendship; yet, within three days, his would be cold in death, the rigor mortis inflicted by my government. And Tariq's extended family, so recently hoping to be our allies for peace, has now been ripped apart by an American missile — most likely making any effort we make at reconciliation futile.
Two thousand miles west and Israeli drones fly constantly over Gaza with the latest strike killing seven members of Islamic Jihad. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an eye-opening interview this week with a 'Lt Col Ido' (his surname was withheld for security reasons) who teaches ethics to Israeli drone operators. The Lt Col says "When people are killed by mistake, we are tormented, and that's how it should be… I've met some people who had a very hard time with it. Some coped, and others wanted to leave. I told them, 'This is dirty work. Who would you like to have do it? We would all like to be professors.'"
The whole article, looking at how Israel uses drones for "everything from gathering intelligence in what the air force calls the "third circle" – namely, the Iranian sector and its satellites – to assisting fire-fighters in the Mount Carmel forest fire and guarding worshipers at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus" is well worth reading. Israel is also about to deploy the giant Eitan drone for use in Gaza and Lebanon as Ynet news reports.
Fifteen hundred miles south of Israel is the Ethiopian city of Arba Minch from where, according to a recent report in the Washington Post, the USAF are flying Reaper drones over Somalia. While the US say the drones based in Ethiopia are for surveillance purposes only (the Ethiopian government are refusing to admit the drones are even in Ethiopia) US drones are undertaking strikes against al-Shabab in Somalia.
Meanwhile it has been confirmed this week that US drones in Iraq are to be move to the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey from where they will be used to 'monitor' Kurdish separatists in Iraq and presumably Turkey.
But it is not only the drones that are circling the globe. Resistance to the drones is growing and going global too. We have repeatedly reported on the anger in Pakistan against US drone strikes and the many protests taking place there, the latest of which saw some 2,000 people protests outside the Parliament building in Islamabad.
For the first time (as far as we know) anti-drone protests have also taken place in Yemen, with some extremely brave people coming together in Sana'a to protest the strikes there (see video below)
In the US, protestors have recently gone on trial following a civil disobedience action at the main entrance of Hancock Air National Guard Base on April 22, 2011, where 38 people were arrested at a die-in protesting the drones. The verdict will be handed down on 1st December (see http://www.upstatedroneaction.org/ for lots more info.
And in London tomorrow (16 November) protestors will gather outside a hotel in central London where the drone industry will gather for two days to discuss, plan and, as there publicity states discuss 'how to stop the public hysteria surrounding UAV operations in the 21st Century?' As human rights lawyer Jules Carey put it on twitter: There should be more hysteria about UAVs not less! At our protest we shall remember Abdul-Rahman, Tariq, Waheed and all the other victims of drone strikes young and old. Why not join us?

Drone Strikes in Yemen and Pakistan, Proliferation Elsewhere
A US drone strike in Yemen on Thursday (5th May), was an attempt to assassinate US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, said to be head of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Two Saudi brothers were killed in the strike but Al-Awlaki apparently escaped. Al-Awlaki has been placed on a list of people approved for targeted killing by President Obama. This was unusual in that he was a US citizen. Ai-Awlaki's father and the US civil rights group ACLU have attempted to have him removed from the list but failed.
On Friday (6th May) four US drones attacked a compound in North Waziristan killing at least 17 people. While most press reports concentrated on the fact that this was the first drone strike in Pakistan since the killing of Bin Laden, it is also the first strike since Imran Khan threatened further civil disobedience against NATO supply routes if drone strikes did not cease.
Meanwhile drone proliferation continues as military companies push drones in Africa, Europe, South America and India. As we have reported previously, Israel is a key exporter of drones and drone technology and a recent report suggests that they are currently negotiating to sell – or perhaps rent – Heron drones to Angola. The report also suggests that Kenya may be a future customer.
In Europe, defence industry officials are pressing governments and companies to "get on with it" and push forward with developing the next generation of drones. BAE Systems CEO told shareholders at the companies AGM to expect a decision on development of a new Anglo-French drone within the next six months. In India, development work on an autonomous combat drone has begun. India's Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) told press that the aim is to develop the UCAV within seven to eight years .
In Latin America, at least 11 countries are using surveillance drones with many drones flying over other nations territories and borders. Most, if not all, the drones have come from Israeli companies or been built with Israeli technology. The proliferation has led to calls for a 'code of conduct' to prevent the arming of drones and it will be interesting to see if this is taken up.

Waiting for the Watchkeeper?
The UK's Watchkeeper drone being tested in Israel: Copyright Thales
News of the progress (or rather lack of it) on the UK's Watchkeeper drone programme has emerged over the last few days. Due to enter service in February 2010, delayed to Spring 2011, the latest information according to Flight International, is that it will not be deployed in Afghanistan "before the end of the year" due to, as Thales executives helpful put it "technical difficulties."
Watchkeeper is being built under a £900m MoD contract (the latest NAO report shows that £625m has already been spent on the project !) by a joint British–Israeli venture company (U-TacS) owned by Thales UK and Elbit Systems. It is based on the Israeli Hermes 450 drone which the UK is currently renting in an innovate 'pay by the hour' operation for use in Afghanistan. Watchkeeper will (eventually) replace the Hermes in Afghanistan.
Flight tests of Watchkeeper are being undertaken from Parc Aberporth in West Wales and on 17 April 2010 Watchkeeper went on her maiden UK flight. A 500 square mile test zone for UAVs between Parc Aberporth and Epynt Mountain is currently being considered (See correction below). Thanks to a helpful FoI inquiry we know that up until mid-February 2011, 13 test flights have take place in the UK since then (till Feb 2011). Other flight tests of Watchkeeper are taking place in Israel. Incidentally the Welsh Assembly has also applied for planning permission to use Llanbedr Airfield in Harlech for "research, development, testing and evaluation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)." (Thanks David)
Parc Aberporth
The first ten Watchkeepers, which were due to be assembled in Israel, have already been built according to the Flight International article and training of armed forces personnel for the new drone will begin at Larkhill Artillery Training Centre in May. Following initial training there will then be operational exercise for Watchkeeper using temporary restricted airspace above Salisbury Plain after taking off from the MoD's Boscombe Down test centre.
In an interesting sideswipe at the project , The Register argues that at a cost of £16.5m each, the 54 Watchkeepers are hugely expensive and, possibly, not even wanted by the Royal Artillery. Watchkeeper "isn't about jobs or British industry or weapons for the armed forces", it says "it's mainly [about] pumping hundreds of millions of pounds into French and Israeli arms companies ."
Wandering Raven has more information (including a helpful list of Watchkeeper component manufacturers) and regular updates on the Watchkeeper drone – see the Wandering Raven Watchkeeper stream.
Correction: The orignal post said that this testing area had already been approved. It has been pointed out (thanks JG) that the consultation is still on going as of May 2011)

Proliferation and protests
Apologies for the recent silence but I was, as they say, unavoidably detained.
Proliferation of drones continues apace with Israel's recent delivery 12 drones to Russia in a $400m deal and Brazil ordering further Hermes 450 drones. Meanwhile the USAF continues to increase its UAV capability by ordering a further 24 Reaper drones from General Atomics as Israel and India have inaugurated new drone squadrons.
On the technological development side, Gorgon Stare, the new drone surveillance capability, has been dammed in an internal draft USAF report as "not operationally effective" and "not operationally suitable." Danger Room however reports an 'updated' report suggesting that 'fixes are in place".
The new X-47B US Navy stealth bomber drone had its first flight this week. The X-47B is one of the new autonomous drones that is not remotely piloted, but rather follows a pre-programmed mission.
There have been large protests against US drone strikes in Pakistan with some reports of thousands attending protest marches. In the US, 14 protestors who trespassed at Creech AFB to protest drone strikes were found guilty and sentenced to time served. John Dear, one of the 14, reports here on testimony from the court.
Finally should mention Drone Wars UK letter published in Guardian on call for inquiry into use of British drones.
