European Elections (Results)
1. George Adam (Paisley) (SNP)
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the results of the European elections. (S5T-01676)
The Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs (Fiona Hyslop)
The Scottish Government welcomes the results of the European Parliament elections, which were a stunning success for the Scottish National Party. The elections have confirmed that there is overwhelming support in Scotland for remaining in the European Union. It is clear that the results from across the United Kingdom tell a tale of two countries that have different political views, values and visions for the future.
I congratulate all the Scottish members of the European Parliament, and especially the newly elected Christian Allard and Aileen McLeod who, as you will be aware, Presiding Officer, were formerly members of this Parliament. With the election of Sheila Ritchie of the Liberal Democrats, there is now gender balance in the Scottish contingent. In the absence from the chamber of any Labour member who might have done so, I also extend our gratitude for the service of David Martin, who has provided distinctive wisdom, commitment and advice on Scottish matters in the European Parliament for many decades. It is fitting that we pay tribute to him at this time. [Applause.]
George Adam
Does the cabinet secretary agree that the results were an astounding rejection of Brexit in Scotland, in that the SNP finished 23 percentage points ahead of the Brexit Party and took the highest share of the vote of any party in western Europe? Does she think that Scotland has again made itself clear that it is not for Brexit and that the issue should go back to the people in a vote, in which I am confident that, once again, its people will make the decision that their future lies in Europe?
Fiona Hyslop
Yes, I agree that the Scottish people's voice has been heard. The Scottish Government has consistently made clear that the best option for the future of Scotland and the UK is for us to stay in the European Union. The election results demonstrate that the UK political system has failed, and that it has also failed Scotland utterly. We are clear that continuing with Brexit would ignore the views of this Parliament and of the people of Scotland, which is why the Scottish Government will continue its efforts to secure that a further referendum is held on any deal that might be agreed by the UK Parliament. If Parliament cannot support such a deal, the default position should be that we revoke article 50 and not that we would have a no-deal Brexit. We will continue to do everything that we can to stop Brexit and all the ensuing economic damage to Scotland that it would entail.
The cabinet secretary will be aware of the shocking reports of EU citizens in Scotland and the rest of the UK being denied their votes on polling day. What pressure has the Scottish Government put on the UK Government to investigate that scandal? Can the cabinet secretary confirm that the UK Government was aware of the risks of that happening months ago but, until the last possible moment, made no preparations for the European Parliament elections, so causing the confusion that we saw ensue on polling day?
Participation in the European Parliament elections in whichever member state they have chosen to live in is a fundamental right of all EU citizens. The Scottish Government is therefore deeply concerned about the difficulties that were encountered by some EU citizens who were denied their right to vote. It is important that we understand that their experience was different in different parts of the country. However, Mr Adam is absolutely right. That challenge had been foreseen and the UK Government could—and should—have done something to ensure that no EU citizens were disadvantaged in exercising their fundamental rights. The Scottish Government has written to the UK Government to call for a full investigation and will share any response with this Parliament at the appropriate time.
Adam Tomkins (Glasgow) (Con)
Is it not symbolic that, at a time when there are no longer any Labour MEPs representing Scotland, no Labour MSPs are present in the chamber to ask questions of the cabinet secretary on the elections?
Given that, whether we like it or not, Europe is the dominant political issue of our time, what is the Scottish Government's reaction to the fact that only two fifths of the Scottish electorate voted last Thursday, and that three fifths therefore chose to stay at home and not to vote at all? Is the Scottish Government content with that level of voter turnout? If it shares my concern that it is too low for a healthy democracy, what, if anything, does it propose to do about it?
I understand why the Labour Party and the Conservatives want to airbrush out the results of the European Parliament elections. However, let us be clear: the turnout was one of the highest ever for European Parliament elections—I think that it is the highest since 1994. Rather than people staying away, they deliberately went out to vote to make their voices heard, which is to be welcomed—indeed, there was a high turnout across the European Union.
It is not good enough for the Conservatives to come here and blame the Scottish people. They should be reassessing the situation and ensuring that Scotland's needs are protected. The best thing that the Conservatives could do in this Parliament would be to join the rest of us to ensure that no deal is taken off the table, and that there is another opportunity for the Scottish people—and, indeed, for people in the rest of UK—to vote to remain in the European Union. We can stop Brexit if we act together.
Patrick Harvie (Glasgow) (Green)
I offer my sincere congratulations to those who were elected, and my sincere hope that they will have the opportunity to represent Scotland throughout the entire term of this European Parliament. I also offer my commiserations to David Martin who—as the cabinet secretary said—has earned the sincere respect of colleagues from across the political spectrum.
Is the Scottish Government still committed to legislation that would ensure that the right to vote is based on residence and not citizenship? It seems to me that that is one of the most important things that we can do to address the concerns that Mr Adams raised and which I share about EU citizens being disenfranchised. Would ensuring that devolved legislation controls the franchise for all elections that take place in Scotland not be the simplest way to ensure that we are never in this mess again?
Patrick Harvie is right to raise that fundamental issue. I talked about the rights of citizens, and the legislation that we plan to bring forward recognises the importance of residence in relation to the franchise.
I reiterate that it is important that we gather information about different experiences, particularly in different parts of the country—I know that my own council area did not have the same issues that there were elsewhere. That underlines the fact that the issue could, and should, have been tackled, and that it is a disgrace and a scandal that many of our fellow citizens here in Scotland were not able to exercise their fundamental rights.
Buchanan High School (Health Concerns)
2. Fulton MacGregor (Coatbridge and Chryston) (SNP)
To ask the Scottish Government what advice it is providing to North Lanarkshire Council, in light of reports that blue water at Buchanan high school may be linked to health concerns among staff. (S5T-01678)
The Minister for Public Health, Sport and Wellbeing (Joe FitzPatrick)
The distribution and storage of water on school property is a matter for the local authority. I understand that Scottish Water, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and NHS Lanarkshire have been working with North Lanarkshire Council on the matter.
Fulton MacGregor
I thank the headteachers and all the staff at Buchanan high school and neighbouring St Ambrose high school, who have continued to act professionally throughout this speculation. Like all schools in the area, they deliver excellent outcomes for pupils against a backdrop of challenging demographic circumstances.
The minister will be aware that Professor Andrew Watterson of the University of Stirling's occupational and environmental health research group said:
"the reported ill-health cases do merit serious investigation and it is understandable that staff, pupils and others who work on the site are anxious."
Does the minister agree that North Lanarkshire Council should investigate concerns properly and that parents, pupils and staff should be kept properly informed by the council, which could go some way towards mediating the anxiety that some may have?
Joe FitzPatrick
It is understandable that there is concern and anxiety. I absolutely agree that North Lanarkshire Council should take the concerns of parents, pupils and staff on this matter very seriously. Ensuring that there is a thorough investigation into what can be done to mitigate any potential risks is a sensible and pragmatic approach.
The minister may be aware that, in conjunction with local councillors, I will hold a public meeting on the matter on 6 June. North Lanarkshire Council has assured me that it will be attended by council officials, and I will ensure that the local MP and other ward councillors are invited. Would the minister consider the possibility of a Scottish Government official also attending the meeting?
I am pleased that North Lanarkshire Council will attend, given that it has statutory responsibility for the school estate. I agree with Fulton MacGregor that it would be good for the Scottish Government to attend, too. If he sends us the details of when the meeting will happen, my office will ensure that that happens. I would also expect the local health board, NHS Lanarkshire, to be represented.
Margaret Mitchell (Central Scotland) (Con)
Given that the school was built on toxic waste, is the minister satisfied that an appropriate environmental impact assessment was carried out? Is he aware of whether any related conditions were attached to the grant of planning permission?
The grant of planning permission would pre-date my taking up office as Minister for Public Health, Sport and Wellbeing and almost certainly my time in my previous position, but I understand that people want answers to those questions. I am not aware of any direct link between copper, which it is suggested is the issue in this case, and particular cancers, but clearly something is going on and we need to understand it.
As Fulton MacGregor pointed out, it is important that the local authority carries out a full investigation and works with SEPA to make sure that the investigation is as robust as possible, in order to give people in the local area—particularly parents, children and staff—confidence in the safety of the school.
Alex Neil (Airdrie and Shotts) (SNP)
In addition to the four teachers at the school—which was built on toxic landfill—who have developed the same rare cancer, the son of one of my constituents has become blind and there is a medial suspicion that the blue water, or some other toxic ingredient on the site, may have contributed to that. In the light of public concern, if the council does not carry out a satisfactory and robust independent inquiry into the matter to inform people and allay public fears, will the minister consider intervening? Public health is clearly a statutory requirement of the Scottish Government, as well as the council, Scottish Water and the health board.
Alex Neil is absolutely right about the statutory responsibility. The Education (Scotland) Act 1980 places a statutory responsibility on all local authorities to manage and maintain their school estates. I sincerely hope that the local authority takes that responsibility seriously and that the investigation that we are talking about goes ahead, in order to give people confidence. Part of the discussion around what the investigation should look like needs to be with other agencies, such as SEPA and Scottish Water, and with public health officials in NHS Lanarkshire.
The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh)
That concludes topical question time. We will take few moments before the next item of business to allow the minister and members to change seats.

Assumption Celebrates Earth Day with Full Slate of Events for Education and Awareness
The Assumption University Eco-Action Committee held their second-annual Earth Fest event on Earth Day to officially recognize the day and engage the Assumption community in an afternoon of sustainability education and activities. Since 1970, Earth Day has been celebrated around the world on April 22 as an international day for raising awareness and action of environmental sustainability efforts around the globe.
"The main goal of the Eco-Action Committee is to enact change on campus," said Kathryn Cannistraro '24, chair of the Eco-Action Committee. "As we strive toward creating this change, it is incredibly important that we are always finding ways to engage with the Assumption community. By holding events like EarthFest, we can connect with Assumption students in a way that not only raises awareness, but also helps gain their support for our group and the work we do."
Cannistraro's Eco-Action Committee led the Earth Day festivities by transforming the Charlie's Patio into an exhibit of sustainability-themed activities, demonstrations, and food trucks. Interactive tables run by the Committee included a DIY Sustainable Alternatives station where students could make their own natural lip scrub using sustainable ingredients and a stand to paint and plant a potted plant.
Additionally, the event featured a pop-up shop by Second Hand Hounds, an Assumption club created by the Eco-Action Committee dedicated to promoting second-hand fashion practices such as thrifting, repurposing, or reusing clothing items. Students purchased or traded in their unwanted clothing items at the pop-up shop for a piece of second-hand clothing or make a tote bag out of an old T-shirt at a DIY project station.
"Having an event on campus that raises awareness for sustainability is important because environmental degradation is one of the biggest problems of our generation," Second Hand Hounds club president Shayla DeGeorge '22 said. "Our pop-up shop was designed to both educate the student body about sustainability and give them the opportunity to take action."
"It's important for us as students to understand what we can do to improve our environment and the role we play in the overall sustainability of our planet," said Brendan Lawrence '22, who attended Earth Fest.
Throughout the afternoon, students demonstrated their talents and passion for sustainability with various pertinent performances. Mia Murray '22 sang musical covers of popular songs with sustainability themes and Julia Tardugno '24 led several groups of students in multiple rounds of 'Civil Discobedience,' a dance trend to the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" that Tardugno used as a medium to engage students in educational facts about the environmental challenges the Earth currently faces.
"I felt that pairing a dance with an educational component would inspire others to take action on our campus and would be a memorable way to help Assumption become more eco-friendly," Tardugno said. "As an education major, I have learned that people best remember information that is presented in new ways, and the way I see it, 'Civil Discobedience' educates individuals on how we can be more eco-friendly in a fun and relaxing social outlet."
"In order for us to be able to become more eco-friendly people and help keep the earth healthy, we need to educate each other and encourage sustainability tactics," Tardugno continued.
The Eco-Action Committee was established in 2021 by a group of Assumption students to advocate for greater campus environmental awareness and action. The club is dedicated to creating events and campaigns, such as Earth Fest, designed to address environmental challenges faced by the University and the world, and to inspire action.

Les épreuves de natation sportive des Jeux méditerranéens 2009 se déroulent du 27 juin au  à Pescara en Italie. Trente-huit épreuves, dix-neuf pour les hommes et pour les femmes, sont organisées dans la Piscine Le Naiadi rénovée pour l'occasion. Chaque délégation peut aligner deux représentants dans chaque épreuve individuelle et un relais dans les épreuves par équipe.

Disputée quelques semaines avant les Championnats du monde 2009, cette compétition est le théâtre de deux records du monde : celui de l'Italienne Federica Pellegrini sur 400 m nage libre et celui de l'Espagnol Aschwin Wildeboer sur 100 m dos. Mais comme depuis le début de l'année 2008, la polémique sur l'utilisation des combinaisons de natation est vive. De même, la quasi-totalité des records chronométriques des Jeux sont battus lors de cette édition.

Avec cinq médailles d'or, le Tunisien Oussama Mellouli est le nageur le plus médaillé de ces Jeux méditerranéens.

The french government took a public beating after their refusal to take part in the coalition of support of the United States in Iraq. Architect and French citizen, Jean-Pierre Heim conceived of a grand gesture to show how much the French government and French people still loved and appreciated the American people. On July 4th across France people laid red roses on all the graves of American soldiers who had given their lives in service of liberating France. I was asked to create a booklet commemorating the event.


On Friday night, someone asked why it matters what order light the candles–there is a debate in the Talmud as to whether we should add a candle for each night of Chanukah or start with eight and go down to one. The Jewish law is the former; we go up in number. On Friday night, I gave a somewhat flippant, academic answer. We go up in number because in these debates, we always come down on the side of the House of Hillel.
I read the next-day coverage of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, while the I watched the candles for the last night of Chanukah burn.
I don't have anything to say that hasn't been already been said. In line with my academic work, I thought briefly about what areas of policy need to be tackled, about whether there were ways to have discussions about policy that weren't also political.
Ultimately, though, I was drawn back to the candles, away from my academic approach to life. We do determine law as argued by the House of Hillel. But Hillel argued that we increase the candles so that we could increase in holiness each night, we could bring more light into the world. Move into light, away from darkness.
For so many families and friends these have been days of darkness, at a time that should have been one of light.
Nobody has answers here. Only a wish for more light.

The beautiful churches of the 18th and 19th century along the Kama River are a testament to the wealth of the area's salt mines.
The Ural Mountains, which divide Russia into its European and Asian parts, have long been one of the most significant sources of the country's mineral wealth. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the discovery of iron, copper, salt and other valuable mineral deposits transformed remote mining outposts into thriving towns such as Ekaterinburg. Before the expansion of Russia's rail network into the Urals during the second half of the 19th century, one of the major challenges was delivering this bounty to Russia's major population centers. A partial solution to this transportation problem was provided by the region's ample network of rivers.
The most important river on the European side of the Urals is the Kama, which flows through the vast Perm Territory and enters the Volga River south of Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. Major mineral deposits—particularly potash – are still being processed along the left bank of the Kama at towns such as Berezniki and Solikamsk.
Nearby on the right bank of the Kama is the town of Usolye, whose name is also derived from the word for salt. Situated 180 km (112 miles) north of the regional capital of Perm in an area rich in salt springs, Usolye was established in 1606 by Nikita Grigorevich Stroganov as the center of the Stroganov family's rapidly expanding salt production empire on the Kama River.
The Stroganovs had already become Russia's leading producer of salt through their operations centered at the northern town of Solvychegodsk. The settlement of Usolye was intended to consolidate their ability to tap the resources of recently opened territories in the Urals.
As in Solikamsk, the growing wealth of Usolye in the 18th century was reflected in the construction of churches such as the imposing Cathedral of the Transfiguration, built in 1727-33 with funds provided by Baron Sergei Stroganov (Peter the Great elevated the Stroganovs to noble status for their largesse during the Great Northern War). Like other Stroganov endowed churches, the Transfiguration Cathedral displays profuse ornamentation. In 1820, it was expanded with the addition of an unusual semi-rotunda on the west end. Complementing the cathedral is a tall bell tower built in 1730 and reinforced in 1830.
The Transfiguration Cathedral and its bell tower formed the nucleus around which the town grew; commercial buildings, warehouses, and salt refineries were constructed in the area. The most imposing structures in the early 19th century were mansions built not only by the Stroganovs, but also by other major holders of salt works such as the Golitsyns and Prince Sergei Abamalek-Lazarev, who purchased the local Stroganov holdings in the 1830s.
The wealth of Usolye depended on the Kama River, but the Kama proved a mixed blessing. Periodic spring flooding was replaced by a far more radical change in the Soviet era, when massive power and navigation projects led to the creation of vast river reservoirs. The resulting increase of water levels of major rivers led to the submerging of hundreds of villages.
In the case of Usolye, the part of town nearest to the river was flooded with the formation of the Kama Reservoir in the 1950s. Although some of the most important monuments, such as the Transfiguration Cathedral, escaped outright destruction, others suffer from severe foundation damage at the water's edge. A further blow was the abandonment of the historic center as a residential district.
Fortunately, the dedicated efforts of museum personnel and the support of the regional administration have succeeded in preserving much of the core of historic Usolye. In addition to the Transfiguration Cathedral, which is now reopened for worship, the neoclassical Church of the Trinity (1813-20) is being restored. This is particularly gratifying, since the design of this church is attributed to Andrei Voronikhin, one of Russia's greatest architects and a native son of Usolye. Construction of the church was undertaken by Baron Grigory Stroganov to honor the Stroganov family's service to the Russian cause during the 1812 Napoleonic invasion.
Perhaps the greatest achievement in historic Usolye is the preservation of the Stroganov Chambers, built in 1724 as the primary Stroganov residence in the Urals. Despite the date of its construction, the structure shows little western influence and bears a close resemblance to Moscow "chambers" of the late 17th century – before the architectural changes introduced by Peter the Great. This splendidly restored Stroganov residence now serves as a museum for traveling exhibits, as well as a center for cultural festivals along the Kama River.
The Usolye district also contains a number of other historic sites, such as Pyskor (some 20 km to the north), whose hilly terrain offers some of the most picturesque vistas along the Kama. At the top of Monastery Hill is the charming Church of St. Nicholas on the Hill, built in 1695 and now being restored.
To the south of Usolye is the village of Oryol, site of the Church of the Praise of the Virgin (1735). The sparsely decorated whitewashed walls of the exterior conceal one of the more colorful interiors of Russian provincial church architecture, with an unusual enclosed chapel in the center of the main church, as well as a soaring icon screen from an earlier, wooden church. Although Oryol is easily accessible by road, the more picturesque route is by boat from Usolye.

Letter | Rice: American troops having positive impact in Afghanistan
By Tom Rice
During my campaign, I was frequently asked my opinion on the global war on terror and progress we had made in the Middle East. With a background in finance, I am no foreign policy expert; therefore, I could only base my opinions on reports I read in the news.
This spring, when Rep. Joe Wilson asked if I would be interested in going on a trip to visit our troops and learn more about U.S. counter-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Qatar, I jumped at the opportunity. I warned Joe that I may not be the most knowledgeable in this field, but he assured me that aside from my South Carolina roots, that was precisely why he had invited me along.
The day before Memorial Day, we began week-long our trip to U.S. military bases and Embassies across Europe and the Middle East. Our first stop was the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo to meet with Ambassador Tracy Ann Jacobsen. She gave us an encouraging report and praised our troops for the work they have done. Ambassador Jacobsen then introduced us to some of the Nation's leaders; one of whom told me that if not for the American troops, she and her family would be dead and her country would not be free. After meeting with Kosovo's leaders, we departed for Camp Bondsteel where we learned more about the U.S. mission in Kosovo and I was also able to meet with members of the South Carolina National Guard.
From Bondsteel, we returned to the Landstuhl Military Hospital in Germany to visit with our injured soldiers on Memorial Day. I met with three of our country's bravest who had recently fallen victim to an IED. The visit was an emotional experience, one I will never forget, and it was a blessing that no one died in the attack. The MRAP vehicle these soldiers were traveling in saved their lives, and it was built right here in South Carolina.
After visiting with our injured service members, we went to visit more of our American soldiers in Qatar and Afghanistan. Flying over Afghanistan, I was shocked by the size of Kabul, the modernization of the towns, and the region's infrastructure — improvements attributable to our courageous troops and the Afghan Army. It was evident that Afghanistan is transitioning from a war-torn country to a country in the early phases of stabilization, but one that still has a good way to go.
At Bagram Airfield, one of the largest U.S. military bases in Afghanistan, I met with our servicemen and women, generals, and the base commanders. One of the generals was proud to report that we are currently in the final phase of the mission, meaning that Afghan troops have taken the lead with American troops serving as backup. Our troops have assembled and trained an Afghan army of more than 352,000 soldiers, capable of defending itself against the Taliban. The Afghan National Army (ANA) is currently adding approximately 50,000 soldiers a year, an encouraging growth rate that has both Afghan and U.S. leaders proud. Everyone I spoke to on base shared with me stories of progress and optimism, signs of a job well done, and more importantly, a job worthwhile.
On the last day, exhausted, we visited one last base. I went into this visit thinking it was going to be a similar base visit to the ones we had earlier in the week. Boy, was I wrong.
When the helicopter prepared for landing, we were told that we were now in Afghan territory and were landing at an Afghan military base. I could tell emotions were high as we got off the helicopter and were loaded into armored vehicles. Both Afghan and American troops were on edge at the arrival of our group.
This tension immediately subsided when the general of the Afghan National Army expressed his gratitude to American troops and thanks for the sacrifices made by our troops, their families, and to our government to help their country and the Afghan people. The general assured us that the Taliban will never be back in control and Afghanistan will no longer be a haven for terrorism.
We have lost too many of our young men and women in battle, but the global war on terror has been successful in defeating some of the world's most dangerous terrorists and stopping their deadly attacks on our soil. Since one of the darkest days in our country's history, we have been successful in protecting our homeland. I have seen firsthand that our troops are in high spirits and morale on the ground is very optimistic. They are confident in their progress, and that the Afghan Army will soon be able to stand on its own. Please continue to keep our troops and their families in your thoughts as they protect the freedoms we each hold dear.

Q: Infinite intersection of sets dense in $\mathbb{R}$ I want to come up with an example where I've got a countably infinite number of sets $A_n$ which are all dense in $\mathbb{R}$. But where $\bigcap_{n=1}^\infty A_n$ is NOT dense in $\mathbb{R}$.
This was touched upon in this post: The intersection of infinitely many dense open sets may not be dense
What has been said in that post is to define the sets $\ A_{q} = \mathbb{Q} \setminus \{q\}$, for every $q\in\mathbb{Q}$. Since $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, there are a countable number of sets $A_{q}$.
The way I understand it, $\ A_{q}$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$ for all $q\in \mathbb{Q}$.
We find that $\bigcap_{q\in\mathbb{Q}} A_{q} = \bigcap_{q\in\mathbb{Q}} \mathbb{Q} \setminus \{q\} = \mathbb{Q} \setminus \left( \bigcup_{q\in\mathbb{Q}} \{q\} \right) = \mathbb{Q} \setminus \mathbb{Q} = \emptyset$.
But $\emptyset$ is NOT dense in $\mathbb{R}$. So this is such an example.
Is my understanding of this correct? Am I missing something?

A: Yes, this is correct. It can already be achieved with two sets: $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{Q} + s$, where $s \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Q}$ is your favorite irrational number.

Operation Protective Edge - Day 4 Intel: Tunnel vision
Hamas would like to draw Israel into a ground incursion where it would fight the IDF from highly sophisticated underground network, knowing Jerusalem does't intend to topple Hamas leaving a power vacuum.

Unlike previous military campaigns against Hamas and Hezbollah, the current round of violence in Gaza began without any tactical or strategic surprises.
It is a war which both sides were reluctant to launch, and one which both sides entered into without a clear exit strategy.
The opening shots of 2012's Operation Pillar of Defense were fired when Israeli air strikes killed Ahmed Jabari, the commander of Hamas's military wing, and destroyed the Islamist organization's small arsenal of long-range missiles. Hamas was in shock.
Based on precise intelligence, the 2006 Second Lebanon War began with a 34-minute surprise Israel Air Force strike that demolished Hezbollah's long-range missiles.
This time around, there was a partial lack of intelligence regarding the location and size of Hamas's long-range rockets. Thus, by press time Thursday, Hamas and Islamic Jihad had already fired nearly 300 rockets – including five rounds at Tel Aviv, one at Haifa, two at Jerusalem and two at Dimona – and will continue pounding these and other places.
Israel has so far carried out some 600 sorties on targets in Gaza, focusing on targeting military commanders and their houses, field operatives, missile depots, mobile and fixed rocket launchers, and underground tunnels. These tunnels are one of the IDF's biggest challenges in this war; according to the army, over 100 tunnels have been demolished in air strikes, but hundreds remain intact.
The tunnels and underground fortifications are one of the factors – although perhaps not the main factor – behind Israel's hesitation to send ground forces into the Gaza Strip. Yet it seems that an Israeli incursion is getting closer and closer by the hour, as rocket fire from Gaza continues unabated and is even being stepped up.
The tunnels pose a double threat, with the first to rural communities along the border with Gaza.
While it does not know their location, the IDF estimates there are dozens of tunnels constructed by Hamas to infiltrate Israel and kill or abduct civilians and soldiers, in order to inflict a psychological blow and demoralize the Israeli public.
It was via a tunnel that a Hamas special forces unit managed in 2006 to surprise an Israeli tank crew, killing two and kidnapping IDF tank gunner Gilad Schalit, who did not show any resistance and was smuggled back via the tunnel to a secret location in Gaza.
The rest of his story has been well told and retold. Schalit's case turned into a strategic national security issue and five years later, Israel had to "buy" his freedom by releasing 1,027 Palestinian terrorists.
Earlier this week, an even more sophisticated tunnel that led to Kibbutz Kerem Shalom was fortunately discovered and exposed by the IDF.
The other threat posed by the tunnels is to IDF forces, should they enter Gaza. The tunnels would be used to slow Israel's forces by using rear guard and delay tactics – in IDF jargon, the "underground medium battlefield."
Hamas started building tunnels nearly 25 years ago. The first tunnels were intended to connect Gaza to Sinai and smuggle weapons and goods.
Over time, Hamas's engineers and diggers – known by the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) as "spiders" – gained a great deal of expertise and technological knowhow. The tunnels expanded rapidly, becoming Gaza's lifeline when Israel imposed a siege and blockade of the Strip eight years ago. Civilian goods were smuggled via the tunnels, helping the local economy survive and, by taxing the smugglers, also financing Hamas terrorist activities.
In recent years, Hamas began expanding the tunnels into "underground cities," with bunkers and fortifications, all hooked up to electricity and oxygen.
Some of the tunnels run 30 meters deep.
Hamas was helped in building the tunnels by Iranian and Hezbollah engineers, but the strategic inspiration came from Vietnam. The North Vietnamese and the Vietcong built an extensive underground network of tunnels and military facilities that helped them to launch surprise strikes against the US army and its South Vietnamese allies.
Similarly, though on a much lesser scale, Hamas's underground cities serve to store weapons and ammunition, as command, control and communication posts and safe houses for the movement's military and political leadership.
Through the tunnels, Hamas has managed to partially deceive Israeli intelligence and smuggle longrange rockets from Sinai– supplied by Iran via Sudan and occasionally, via Syria and Hezbollah. Another source of supply was the flourishing black market in Libyan military surplus.
There are two types of longrange missiles in the Hamas arsenals. One is the self-produced M-75, based on the Iranian Fajr 3 and 5 models. This rocket, though inaccurate, has a warhead of up to 40kg., and has been launched in the current conflict against Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Dimona.
The other one is the M-302, with an extended range of up to 200km., which has been fired at Hadera in the Center and Haifa in the North. The M-302 is originally a Chinese artillery rocket, licensed to be produced in Syria and also supplied to Hamas by Iran.
The underground facilities enable and enhance Hamas's ability to keep launching its rockets. There are indications that some of its underground launching operations are done electronically, via remote-controlled devices without human intervention.
So far, the IAF has managed to destroy more than 200 launching pads, positions and mobile launchers.
The fact that despite the extensive aerial bombardment aimed at disrupting Hamas's launch capability, it keeps on firing and will continue to do so, is evidence of how sophisticated and hard to trace and destroy the underground bunkers have become.
If the aerial campaign does not soon put an end to the rocket fire or if a cease-fire is not achieved – and the chances for both seem very slim at the moment – the IDF will have no choice but to send its ground forces into Gaza. The Israeli cabinet and military leadership does not want to enter the Strip, but the shower of rockets and public discontent will leave it with no choice.
This is exactly Hamas's strategy – to lure Israel into unleashing its ground forces.
Hamas knows that even if Israeli troops do enter Gaza, Israel does not intend to topple its regime because Jerusalem knows that if it leaves a power vacuum, more radical elements in the mold of the Islamic State group (formerly ISIS) or al-Qaida will move in.
Thus, Hamas does not fear an Israeli incursion.
All it needs to do is hold on as much as it can, keep launching rockets to prolong the war, and provoke the Israeli government to invade Gaza, causing Israeli casualties – and leading the Jewish state to bleed and sink in the Gazan sand dunes.

A great night out!
(Click for details)
I did another number on my letterbox
Ref. my earlier blog post 20/02/15: I really did a number on my letterbox.
Last weekend, as I walked from work to buy my lunch, I passed a road sign for "TRUCKS CROSSING" which looked like it had been hit by a truck. It was lying on the footpath, broken/torn nearly in two, no sign (ha-ha) of whatever it had been mounted on.
As I walked on, I wondered if it could be of any use, and came up with an idea. On my way back I completed its division into two, and carried the more intact half off back to work, and eventually home.
I had decided I could make a nicely visible, fluorescent orange, reflectorised street number for my letterbox.
The sign has eight layers: -
clear glossy plastic
orange reflector
white base
thin aluminium sheet
heavy black polythene sheet
grey paint
The letters can be peeled off, so there is plenty more room to make anything else. I did a trial with a piece from the top left, to see if it could be flattened, as the whole piece was curved to some extent.
I put the smaller piece in the oven on a flat tray at 150 degrees C for about 10 minutes, then took it out and placed another tray on top while it cooled. This was not entirely successful, as the aluminium couldn't re-compress, so just buckled, while the plastic was too soft and squeezed out the edges like mayonnaise from a sandwich. I found I could just bend the sheet without harm if it was not a sharp bend.
Shown at left is the piece of sign as I began work.
The flash went off on my first picture, which is shown underneath to illustrate the reflecting properties of the sign
I realised I could use the cut-out part of the spray paint stencil I made last time.
Shown at left is my mark up, and the stencil cut-out.
Shown at left is the rough cut; the inner holes are done, ready for the finishing file. The cutting out was very quick and easy, I used a woodwork coping saw and the plastic and aluminium offered almost no resistance. The biggest risk was going too fast and overshooting the lines!
Here is the finished object, cut out and filed.
The filing was tricky, as I found it had to be done exclusively with strokes towards the reflective surface. Filing on the back stroke tended to detach the white backing layer from the aluminium sheet.
Still, as the work piece was relatively soft, this wasn't a real problem as far as speed goes.
The number is 15 centimeters high.
I investigated glues, considering the location, (outdoors facing the prevailing Westerlies) and went with a silicone sealant I already had a tube of in the fridge.
Bright by day and bright by night.
Now all I have to do is re-mount the box to the post, as I have just noticed the angle-iron brackets are badly rusted.
Man brooch: are you game?
A small foray into the world of fashion and design.
Movie seen: Amy
Click for image source, page at IMDb
I can't remember the last time I pre-booked for a movie, it must be decades ago. However, as soon as this one was brought to my attention, I booked on-line.
Read the details, see some videos here.
Update 17/08/15 : A few days ago on my YouTube account I noticed a couple of old and incomplete playlists, one for each of her two albums "Frank" & "Back To Black". I found I could now locate all tracks and and completed them, click through and scroll down to view
A revelation of Oral Culture: Mole vs Moll
I was listening to the lyrics of "Tattooed Love Boys", a song written by Chrissie Hynde on The Pretenders' eponymous first LP. I won't pretend to understand completely all the lyrics, many songs are understood in many ways by many listeners, not even fully by the writer sometimes.
(Ref. a site I like which deals specifically with lyric interpretation, Songmeanings.com)
(UPDATE 25/04/16 - I find that only a month later in August 2015, Chrissie Hynde released a biography in which she revealed that at the age of 21 she had a forced sexual encounter with a motorcycle gang. It would seem reasonable to assume this event influenced the writing of the song.)
There are a few lines which brought back memories of my adolescence: -
"......target practice in the hall
While waiting for their number to get called
I, I, I, I found out what the wait was about"
I recalled a house on the edge of my local suburb, in a secluded position amongst trees and set well back from any street. The property was used as a shortcut and was overgrown as well. As far as I knew it was unoccupied, but was used by local young people as a hangout. I recall a situation similar to the above; some older boys were in one of the rooms, I was in the hall where knife-throwing practice was one of the pastimes, with a few other kids, and girls were sequentially called into the bedroom for unknown but presumably/possibly/probably sexual reasons. I was too young to even know exactly what might be going on. I knew I was too young, and that I was not included or even considered. It was all very tantalisingly mysterious and attractive as well, especially the knife-throwing!
I recalled that amongst my peer group, a girl who participated in such activities would be labelled a "mole", or that is how it was pronounced and the spelling understood by me at least.
It suddenly occurred to me with my adult knowledge, that maybe this word might be related to an old English slang word "moll", which I would pronounce differently, but which has similar connotations.
Sure enough, the first page I land on in my search is the Wikipedia entry for "Moll (slang)" which specifically deals with a usage particular to Australia and New Zealand (my country).
I was pleased to find the statement "The existence of the popular derivative spelling, mole, likely reflects the word's history as a spoken, rather than written, insult." This backs up both my conjectures as to the meaning link and the spelling variation.
I also recall that the noun "mole" is often paired with the adjective "huckery".
See the NZ Herald 5th May, 2005, listen also to Max Cryer on Radio Live 21st July 2012 at 04:35, as he elucidates the origin of "huckery" as also NZ, specifically from the Maori "hakurawa": - useless, slovenly or past its use-by date.
Children's oral culture
This mole/moll spelling variation brought to mind a matter I have been considering for decades; the existence of a centuries-long unbroken chain of culture not participated in, and hardly remembered by adults, which thrives mostly unremarked and unrecorded, amongst children.
I am not talking about "nursery rhymes", which are recorded in books and passed from parent to child, but rather those things which are learned from other children.
These can be words, phrases, expressions, rhymes, stories or games, but their essential characteristic is that they are not formally taught, they are absorbed by experiencing and imitating them.
Who has to teach a child "Eeeny meeny miny moe", for instance?
I wanted to do some background research before writing this post, but I found there is little not buried in academic papers at sites requiring academic organisational credentials to access.
There are some tantalising glimpses, such as at this page describing a repository of the papers of researchers Iona and Peter Opie. I was particularly struck by this statement from the description of the contents' creation:
"Their interest in folklore was piqued around 1944 when they were expecting their first child, James. Encountering a ladybird during a country walk and recalling the "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home" rhyme, they were "left wondering about this rhyme we had known from childhood and had never questioned until now. What did it mean? Where did it come from? Who wrote it?" (Opie 1988:208). Their search for answers introduced them to earlier sources of folklore and dialect, and began what Iona..."
This describes an event that I empathised with as it is so similar to the way many of my own thought processes lead to posts such as this.
After writing the above post, I did some more searching and found the Beyond Text website , which has a project called "Children's Playground Games and Songs in the New Media Age", updating, analysing and re-presenting the Opie Collection of Children's Games and Songs at the British Library.
Lo, and behold, the Opies again!
There is a link to the British Library site, where there is a fantastic set of recordings available, made by Iona Opie between 1969 and 1983.
I will link to one example, but this is obviously a marvellous body of research work.
(She asks where they learned a rhyme and gets the reply "It just goes round the school".)
Part 1 of 3. [00:00:00 - 00:16:16]. This recording, from St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School, Huddersfield, 1978, contains discussions with a small group of schoolgirls who perform singing and skipping games for Iona Opie. The girls begin by playing the singing game 'Oranges and Lemons'
I was struck by the sheer quantity of knowledge and elaborate rules known by these very young children.
I am sure, with the right memory prompt, every adult will be able to come up with their own examples of things they learned in this very human, almost instinctual way.
Postscript, 05/08/15
I have just recalled that when I was at Primary School in the late Fifties, in the playground a fat child could be called a "Fatty Arbuckle". We had no idea that we were referring to a Hollywood actor whose career ended in scandal in 1922, and who died in 1933, thirty five and twenty four years earlier.
It appears the poor man's name had survived him in the playground purely by word of mouth, because his films were mostly banned at the time of the scandal.
Postscript 31/03/16
While fact-checking for a piece on gender differences, I stumbled upon a reference to this cultural phenomenon of intra-juvenile culture in other primates. In a paper on chimpanzees, a study of stick play found it was mostly done by pre-motherhood juveniles: -
"By contrast, sex differences in juvenile stick-carrying did not result from females observing their mothers carrying sticks, since mothers never carried sticks. Instead, youngsters apparently learned socially from each other. Such juvenile traditions have previously been described only in humans."
See: Sex differences in chimpanzees' use of sticks as play objects resemble those of children
Blind Devotion: Have women moved on from the besotted doormats of the 1950s & 1960s?
A few years ago I realised how intensely emotional and almost operatic some of the Girl Group recordings of the 1950s and 1960s were. Perennial favourites such as
"You Baby" by The Ronettes
"Leader of the Pack" by The Shangri-Las
are emotional bombs compacted into a few minutes of music and song. I began to look for what other music in the same style was available, and ended up with a playlist of 346 .mp3 files.
While digging back for those old 50s & 60s girl groups I kept noticing how many of the songs I encountered seemed to have completely over the top submission and obsession as lyrical themes. I started noting those I came across, including solo acts, ending up with a playlist of 57 numbers.
The marvelous users of YouTube have posted all but two of that list, enabling me to assemble the playlist below. It is sorted by title to randomise, and to separate any tracks by same artist. (Not entirely successful in the case of Dusty Springfield).
Ike Turner, and Carole King & Gerry Goffin and the Brill Building writers seem to be to blame for a fair few of these. Many are by male writers, but I'm not going to get statistical because the sample is not a random selection, it is biased by coming mainly from what I happen to have on CD, including a 3 disc set of songs by Carole King. Nevertheless, the writers can be seen on the page below, with the above writers highlighted.
A Tragedy in 2 minutes 18 seconds
Anyone But You
(Jeff Barry)
Vocalist: Ruth Brown
Produced: Phil Spector
Atlantic 45 rpm Single 1961
If someone would have told me
That you were gonna hurt me
I'd a said, "Oh no,
Anyone but you."
And if they had told me
You would desert me
I'd a laughed and said
"Anyone but you."
Now that it's over
Now that I'm crying
Now that you've told me
You can't be true
Still I know
Yes, I'm really gonna miss you
But, I'll never love anyone
Oh, you
I'll never love anyone
It is notable that these are mostly from the days before The Beatles and Bob Dyan made the professional song writers redundant by popularising the idea that the artists could write and record their own material. (Although both began with covers, and learned to write their own later.) Thus, the lyrics are somebody's idea of how to prompt an emotional experience in the listener, created for someone else to sing, rather than someone's creation of an expression of their own experience.
Here at the Paste magazine site I found a sympathetic treatment of the Brill Building's fade from prominence. There is little mention of these types of lyric though.
There is some strange and dodgy stuff here:
The Crystals' "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)", (Goffin, King) was controversial when released for it's portrayal of violence as a sign of male possessive feelings.
Joanie Sommers' "Johnny Get Angry", (Hal David and Sherman Edwards) is a sort of masochistic invitation to abuse. "These days, feminists would be picketing the record studio for such a song." Discussed well at Songfacts.com.
Lesley Gore's "That's The Way Boys Are" (Mark Barkan, Ben Raleigh) is just pathetic, and made more bizarre when you consider Miss Gore was actually a lesbian, and can't have felt very comfortable with a jolly-sounding song with lyrics like:
"When I'm with my guy and he watches all the pretty girls go by,
And I feel so hurt deep inside I wish that I could die;
Not a word do I say, I just look the other way,
'Cause that's the way boys are..."
Then there is the weeping passivity of a song like The Chantels' "Maybe" by their vocalist Arlene Smith:
"Maybe, if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And maybe, if I cry everyday
You'll come back to stay
Oh, maybe"
We also have the dreamy acceptance of the done and dumped Connie Stevens in "I Couldn't Say No" (Ripp, Goffin-King, again!):
"You spoke so sincerely
I couldn't think clearly
And somehow, with you
It seemed right
I was too much in love to be wise
And I couldn't say no to you last night"
I found this commentary: "Her utter sincerity in describing post-coital afterglow in "I Couldn't Say No," an obscure Goffin-King number Stevens recorded in 1962, defuses a touchy topic--the girl is at first feeling guilt over giving in to her beau's charms, making it hard to listen to without thinking "date rape" as her misgivings unfold--and transforms the song into an ode to the first blush of new love."
But I can't agree with the above when you consider the song contains the lines
"You wanted my kisses, so I gave you my kisses
Never dreaming today you'd be gone"
".......when I think of you I regret
That I couldn't say no to you last night"
I can't deny the emotional power of some of these songs, but I think we really have to keep in perspective these outmoded attitudes.


the side, or just been dropped all together.
If we understand what derails us from achieving our goals, then we can counter those failure factors and find success. These are the top ten failure factors that impact the achievement of a goal. Read them slowly and think about what they mean in your recent resolutions.
freedom was just a dream. But it did change because we set goals and took action. The result? We've been debt free for 20+ years.
After you circle the "failure factors" that may apply to your situation, take the time to write three ways you believe you can counter those factors and turn them into successful areas of your life. I believe in the old saying from John L. Beckley "people don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan." Having a plan can be over half the battle in discovering ways to be successful in your finances. But implementing that plan is the other half of finding success.
One of the ways that I have found most people can create and stick to a plan is by having a "money buddy." If you are married, this might be your partner, and if you are single, it can be a like-minded friend who is good with their own financial resources. Get together with your money buddy and go over this "failure factor" list. Let them help you come up with ways that you can counter the failure to turn it into success. Then, set a date to meet with your financial partner and track your success. It's kind of like Weight Watchers for money matters and there is great power in unity with other like-minded people who want to overcome their own failure factors.

Time to add these wonders to your bucket list.
Everyone is familiar with Yellowstone and Yosemite. And for good reason: they're gorgeous. But we're going to go on record that these less well-known destinations are just as picturesque — and probably way less crowded, too.
This Alaskan park is home to several active volcanoes and is known for having a high population of brown bears. Sure, those stats might frighten you, but the beauty of the landscape is unbeatable.
The 256-foot-tall waterfall will be the main thing people talk about post-visit. Probably because it's the highest one in the eastern United States.
This Southern California park might look barren, but it's actually home to some of the most unique natural elements — like all the hole-in-the-wall cliffs dotted across the steep mountainsides.
Each year, only about 15,000 people visit this park, which is located on an island on Lake Superior — but clearly everyone else is missing out on something truly beautiful. Pro tip: Explore by water to check out the nearby lighthouse.
Somewhere between Cleveland and Akron in Ohio is this park, famous for the Brandywine Falls. Visitors should also add walking across the 19th century Everett Road Covered Bridge to their must-do list.
Leave it to Arizona to have one of the most colorful parks in the country and yet barely a speck of green. The desert is filled with the bright quartz color of fossilized wood.
About 70 miles east of Key West, Florida is this park that features teal waters and some of the best scuba diving in the state. The only catch? You can only get to the park by seaplane or boat.
According to geologists, this park in New Mexico used to be a coastline of an inland sea. Today, it's made up of more than 119 underground caves, including the famous "Big Room," which is 4,000 feet long.
An incredible 40% of this Minnesota park is water, thanks to three lakes and many other waterways. It's not uncommon for beavers, moose and gray wolves to be spotted amongst the brush, either.
This Utah-based park is known for being home to the bristlecone pine, which is a tree that's almost 5,000 years old and one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. It also has one of the tallest mountains in the state.
There are more than 300 glaciers in this Washington-based park that's understandably known for it's wide variety of plants and animals. There are even 400 miles of trails for humans who wish to explore it by foot.
You can probably already tell this South Carolina park is filled with lots of marine life, including alligators and turtles. And, apparently, all those animals have the Sierra Club to thank for stopping the area from being demolished back in 1969.
In western Texas is this national park that offers both flat terrain from the Chihuahuan Desert and steep canyon walls from the Chisos mountain range.
Even though Oregon is made up of many natural wonders, this is the only national park in the state. It used to be home to Mount Mazama, until it erupted and formed a mountain in the middle of Crater Lake.
In Kentucky, you'll find this national park, which is home to the longest cave system known in the entire world. The system is capped off with a layer of sandstone, which makes it surprisingly stable.
This Hawaiian park is on the island of Maui and features a diverse range of nature, including volcanic lands, bamboo forests and even ocean coasts. Most visitors make sure to stop by the Haleakala Crater.
This Washington park was honored with a World Heritage Site title in 1981 and is popular thanks to the Lake of Angels and several active glaciers on top of the mountains.
Anyone willing to brave it to the badlands in South Dakota will be rewarded with fossil finds and the occasional bison, bighorn sheep and prairie dog sightings. Worth it? You bet.
Even though you've probably heard of the Blue Ridge Mountains, you might not have heard of this Virginia park that offers over 500 miles of hiking on said terrain.
Known as a 100-mile "wrinkle in the Earth," this Utah-based park is made up of red rock formations, canyons and cliffs. The park is even named after a rock formation that resembles the U.S. Capitol Building.


We all walk a fine line between change for the sake of new versus change because it creates something better. As we developed the fourth generation Pronghorn, we looked back at the previous two decades of our most iconic boot. We extracted the best parts from each generation and created the new Pronghorn.

Q: depress same origin policy I have a 'toolbar' that displays some code on the top of the window, and then I load an iframe with an external site. I realize that I can't get the active link the user is on because it would be a violation of same origin policy.
Is there any way (using greasemonkey maybe?) that I could get the active url of the external iframe?
I need to do this for demo purposes, not for anything practical. (I realize the real solution would be to process the entire page through my own server)
Thanks!

A: I'll post a workaround that I wrote:
If you install greasemonkey, write a script does (roughly) something like this:
current_link = document.location.href;
if(current_link !== 'http://my_local_site')
{
   GM_setVal("link", current_link); }

Have greasemonkey run this script on your iframe's URL and on your local site and on your iframe's site.
GM will save to its internal memory the link. If you don't trigger the IF statement, you're probably reading the script from your local site, ergo you need to:
unsafeWindow.urlVal = GM_getVal("link");

All you need to do now is to get both the local frame and the iframe to run the script every time a page is navigated on the iframe.
You can get this done on your local frame by a) timing it b) using some type of event trigger.
Best of luck!

NOAA Releases RFP for Radio Occultation Data Buy (RODB) IDIQ-2
July 26, 2022 July 25, 2022 Doug Messier News Leave a comment
SILVER SPRING, Md. (NOAA PR) — Today, Wednesday, July 20, 2022, NOAA released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the second purchase of space-based commercial radio occultation (RO) data for use in NOAA's operational weather forecasts.
View RFP at SAM.gov
The RFP is open for 34 days and follows the December 2021 release of a draft Statement of Work for public comment. This is a follow-on to the Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that were awarded in November 2020.
NOAA is soliciting commercial near-real-time satellite-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) RO and ionospheric measurements that will be processed into neutral atmosphere and space weather products. These derived products will be fed into NOAA's operational data systems, including weather and space weather analysis and prediction systems, and used for weather, climate, and atmospheric research purposes. All data and products will be archived by NOAA.
NOAA intends to issue one or more IDIQ contract(s) for the requirements described in the Statement of Work. The RFP also includes the specifications for two initial Delivery Orders (DO) for RO data under the overall IDIQ contract.
To prepare for a full operational stream of GNSS RO data, NOAA plans to award a DO-1 Test or DO-1T to procure a limited duration (30 days) of data that will be used to validate that the formats, latency, quality, and coverage of the data will be sufficient for longer-term operational use in numerical weather prediction models and other systems.
NOAA also plans to award a second DO to acquire near-real-time radio occultation (RO) satellite data; NOAA intends to use these data in operational numerical weather prediction models, space weather models, and other systems.
Subsequent Delivery Orders will be released throughout the five-year contract period at NOAA's discretion.
Through this RFP, NOAA continues to implement the related section of the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-25), which directs NOAA to obtain commercial weather data from private sector providers following a pilot assessment that demonstrates commercial sector readiness. On May 20, 2021, NOAA began using the commercial RO data in operational weather forecasts.
NOAA's Commercial Data Program has successfully engaged the commercial sector through a competitive process and acquired operational satellite data-as-a-service. Commercial RO data constitute an important addition to NOAA's portfolio that will help improve weather forecasts and provide risk reduction to the overall observing system.

Let's face it continuous improvement is a winning strategy for anyone with the CEO mindset. It's an asset for professionals and entrepreneurs alike. Regardless of where you are in your career or your business there are always opportunities to grow. Throughout my life I've seen many programs and systems come and go. They were based on a popular book, hot topic or cutting edge concept and frequently endorsed by a celebrity. Touted to change your life, many just turned out to be passing fads. Unfortunately, they came and went and never really made any lasting impact.
Why is it that so many programs don't stand the test of time? In my opinion, it's because they are not based on the individual but rather an external system. This is why I like assessments. They focus specifically on the person being assessed, their behaviors, and their actions and reactions. Assessments are tools designed to help us learn more about ourselves. The added bonus to assessments is that if we're learning more about ourselves very often we're learning more about others too.
Assessments can help us be better performers, be better communicators and have better relationships with people. Clearly, improved performance, communication and relationships are valuable assets to professionals and business owners alike. I believe the biggest benefit to assessments is that rather than guessing, they provide tangible information. This information can provide you with a clear picture of yourself. You can use this insight to create a solid plan for your personal or professional growth and development, and to help you build stronger relationships through better communication.
There's no right or wrong time to take an assessment. I do recommend that when sitting for an assessment that you take it in a place where you feel comfortable, secure and relaxed. A quiet space without interruptions is best. Some people take assessments when there life is in order and no major changes are happening. However, most of my clients come to me when they are experiencing challenges at work or in their business and when things in their life aren't going well. An assessment can help to point them in the right direction or as the basis for improving their performance.
Be careful when interpreting results. Your behavioral style doesn't typically change over time. However, I do point out to my clients that there are things that can skew an assessment. For example, any kind of stress, illness or major life change could impact your results. Even positive stress like buying a house, getting a promotion or purchasing a new business can affect the outcome.
Typically the assessments I use provide results in graphs and charts as well as text. If I observe a spike in a particular graph, then I know I need to know more about what's going on in that person's life or at work. I'll ask some key questions and people will be shocked that I figured some things out and ask me, "Are you a mind reader?" My response, "No, I'm an assessment reader." The data is very clear and when I break it down for them they see it right there in black and white.
In certain circumstances, if I find that something major is going on, I recommend that they reassess in six months or a year when things have settled down. We simply work with the data provided and use it to move forward.
No matter what is going on in someone's life, assessments can be a useful tool for continuous improvement. This is one way that people who are successful gain the professional edge.
Assessments offer a real-time snapshot of what's going on. The interpretation of the assessment can help people discover what is affecting them. I always suggest people use coaching as a tool to help them manage it. This strategy provides them insight into what their triggers are and how to use them to their advantage.
My clients benefit greatly from coaching during times of major changes in their lives. Not only are they able to better understand their triggers, behavior patterns and actions, they get insight into other people's reactions.
Many people miss the point when it comes to assessments. They refer to them as "tests." From the time we are little children we fear tests. Often with tests there is a "pass/fail" aspect to them. We learn to fear tests because we know what failing means. And who wants to fail? Not me and I'm sure, not you. The big difference is that with assessments there are no failures. There are no right or wrong answers. One behavioral style is not better than another. With assessments, everyone wins. The person being assessed learns more about himself or herself, and the company has a better understanding of the value that person brings to the company.
In this piece I have focused on just a few uses for assessments. To learn more about other ways to use assessments, check out my interview on Focus Forward to learn more about assessments and how to use them.

Drawings/ Blueprints
'My work imagines the construction of a device that may eventually be an object, or exist as a thought. I deal with complex 'machines' and simplify them in terms of their physicality and function, to make them more representational of human needs and/ or want…'
'Raised in a small village in South India, without access to basic electricity during my childhood, my introduction to mechanics during my higher education greatly fascinated me. This fascination within my practice is applied to solve queries, and answer questions of philosophies and existence.'
'My practice remains a reaction not only to an object/ practice that I see and interact with, but also to its sensibility, meanings, practical, conceptual or metaphorical connotations. I thereby 'repurpose' objects to alter their function, and inject them with of satire to criticise their political, social or cultural significance.'

The long wait is finally over. Google said today that it is bringing its hugely popular Analytics tool to mobile apps.
Appropriately dubbed Mobile App Analytics, the freshly unveiled service covers both Android and iOS-based apps. The service will give app developers and mobile advertisers better-than-ever feedback about app usage in record time.
"Mobile is changing the way that people communicate, work and play, and much of the growing adoption and innovation we're seeing in the industry is driven by mobile apps," Google said in its formal announcement. "There are already more than 600,000 mobile apps on Google Play alone, and we expect to see continued momentum throughout the industry."
That's why today we're announcing a new set of reports in beta called Mobile App Analytics that help marketers and developers better measure their mobile apps. The reports are tailored for mobile app developers and marketers, speaking the language that matters to them. They are designed to measure the entire mobile customer journey – from discovery to download to engagement.
Developers are said to be admitted to the beta program in lumps at a time. To sign up for the beta testing, click here.
Otherwise, Google says the service will be available in full by the close of summer.
