Get Country Satellite Map Links Script, Random Stuff, and More

Get Country Satellite Map Links Script:
- I've been working on some projects that require access to satellite imagery. What I didn't realise is that there isn't really a menu of links that you can click on to see what each country looks like so I a script which created one. Download it here:

- description is as follows:
# I've been working on some projects that require access to satellite
# imagery. What I didn't realise is that there isn't really a menu of
# links that you can click on to see what each country looks like
# so I created one. Not all links work perfectly because they were
# automatically generated obviously. The context of this work will
# make more sense as time progresses.
#
# Obviously, to make the most of this script you'll need to be able to
# understand how to script/program.
#
# As this is the very first version of the program it may be VERY buggy.
# Please test prior to deployment in a production environment.
- if you view satellite enough images it's fascinating. You can actually see ineqality vary from country to country in a highly visible way. Development in a lot of poorer countries you see by lack of basic infrastructure, dirt roads, buildings in poor condition, farmland that doesn't seem healthy/fertile, etc... Internally, (on a national and state basis), you can see inequality or uneven development as well? You can see big, modern, beautiful architecture surrounded by run down/old buildings
- there's never been a genuine test of socio-economic systems because each country is unique and has finite resources. They form into power blocks that don't really deal with one another with rival systems?

- the Major/Colonial/Imperial Powers have basically been doing the same thing across most countries and have been for hundreds/thousands of years? They've gone from outright mean and nasty to covertly mean and nasty? When you drill down into the numbers it starts to make more sense. You can't cut really cut a deal with any of the Major Powers without giving away something significant? Other countries balk at the terms of conditions imposed by the Major Powers so sometimes often don't know what to do? In reality, a lot of countries were puppets in a larger conflict between the Major Powers? A lot of the techniques used to raise kids now (at home and elsewhere in institutions such as school and work) were used in the old Royal Courts of the East, West, Middle East, etc... Their traditions are often useless, sensibilities are stiffling, their values hypocritical, and cruelty often knowing few limits. It's actually really easy to see through a lot of covert operations after a while. It's obvious that a lot of countries are "looking/struggling/obsessing" for answers to their problems (Lebanon, Austria, Pakistan, Turkey, Myanmar, India, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Japan, basically all of the African and South American countries, etc... Basically, any country who is not in the central orbit of the United States is looking for alternatives especially given the rise of China and fall of the US). If you look closely, you'll see a lot of spies operating in and out these countries as well. Doing a Cuba, North Korea, USSR, Iran, etc... requires enormous struggle so most countries just go along with things as is even if there questionable issues of morality, terms of trade aren't great, etc... Some intelligence agencies seem to double as sales and marketing agencies which is really strange because I always thought "national security" pertained thing to things that were more pertinent/directly related to "national security"? A lot of spy agencies basically have a "steal it if it moves and is valuable perspective of life"?

He was not only an important part of the Soviet elite but also a trusted servant of the police state.
As Catherine Belton points out in her illuminating study of Putin, "Putin's People", he was more significant in the KGB's operations in East Germany than has often been acknowledged.
Dresden had the advantage of being far from the focus of the Western media's coverage of the Cold War, which was centred on Berlin.
And Putin had particular responsibilities.
Speculation is rife that these duties included liaising with terrorist groups and smuggling the necessary advanced technology from the West which helped keep the sputtering Soviet economy going.

-  I always wondered why people many of the world's greatest minds were filtered out of the system and had to make somethings of themselves rather then being supported by the system "as is". If the religions are honest then the elite know/realise that they are technically evil/Satanic? They know that they aren't genuinely pious or honour or are loyal to God (whatever or whoever that may be? The meaning/translation of Lord/God has changed radically over time). For things to change, it would ultimately come down a battle between Angels and Demons? Unfortunately, only they can recognise one another what they are and where their loyalties lie?

- if I could get access to military grade satellite imagery things could get interesting? I've been thinking of more advanced Anti-Weapons Technolgy (AWT) systems (more work required but I understand theoretically how to defeat/disable more complex and powerful offensive systems as well as small arms now (in a more practical form)?). If you can auto-deploy systems to a particular geographical areas based on need based on whatever intelligence you can gather you can force peace on that area because if the concept works you can disable all weapons within a given radius/range?

In fact, jackfruit is so abundant in the region that tons of it go to waste every year. That is due in part to the complexity of preparing and cooking it.
We knew that jackfruit was not living up to its potential.

"The formats that it was available in ... were just not exciting to us. They were very difficult to work with, they were not yielding interesting textures and end results, and we knew that jackfruit was not living up to its potential," Riegler said.
So, the founders set to work adapting the fruit for a mass-market — soon devising a chemical-free, mechanical process at their manufacturing hub in Singapore to transform the fruit into a shredded, meat-like product that's simple for chefs and consumers to use.  
"Our intention was really to create something that chefs can take and create amazing dishes with," said Carstens. "For the modern kitchen in a modern (food and beverage) operation, it is just too labor-intense."

- Biden plans to pay the bill by hiking taxes on American companies from 21 percent to 28 percent – still well below the 35 percent they were in 2017, when then-President Donald Trump slashed them.
American firms currently pay roughly 13 percent on offshore earnings, and Biden is seeking to raise the global minimum tax rate to 21 percent.
"We are working with G20 nations to agree to a global minimum corporate tax rate that can stop the race to the bottom," Yellen said, referring to the phenomenon of firms fleeing high-tax-rate economies to set up shop in low-tax economies.
Critics of the proposal say the race to the bottom will harm workers, who will feel the most pain if corporations are taxed more.
"It is hard to see how raising the corporate income tax, the burden of which will be ultimately shouldered by workers and shareholders, will do to help with inequality," Veronique de Rugy, senior research fellow at the libertarian-leaning Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Virginia, told Al Jazeera.
"Also, raising corporate costs will lead to less investment in fixed assets and that helps no one considering the private sector is the driver of ownership in infrastructure and investment in infrastructure," she added.
Biden's proposal would raise the amount of money collected from corporations by 38 percent, according to the Cato Institute, a libertarian-leaning think-tank based in Washington, DC.
Cato's director of tax policy studies warned that raising the tax rate in the US will cause American corporations to move their profits and investments abroad and slash costs.
"If we get Amazon or General Electric to pay more taxes, they will end up paying their workers less," Chris Edwards told Al Jazeera. "It's kind of a cat-and-mouse game – [the Biden administration] wants to raise the corporate tax rate that will move investments out of the country and then they are trying to bring in rules to prevent that."

- The two defense chiefs held talks after an F-16 fighter jet belonging to the Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture dumped two fuel tanks before making an emergency landing at Aomori Airport on Tuesday evening.
One of the tanks apparently landed in a residential area, although no one was injured. The following day, Japan asked the United States to ground F-16 fighter jets belonging to the air base until their safety is confirmed.
But Misawa city officials confirmed that a U.S. jet flew on Thursday and Japan had not been notified of safety measures taken, according to Kishi.
The 35th Fighter Wing of the Misawa Air Base said in a statement following the incident that an F-16 fighter jet experienced a problem during a flight and its pilot jettisoned the fuel tanks in an unpopulated area close to Mt. Iwaki in the prefecture.
However, one tank was found about 20 to 30 meters from some homes in the town of Fukaura with a population of some 7,600, while the other one was found in the mountains.
According to Misawa city officials, the U.S. base said the pilot dropped the tanks to reduce the weight of the jet after receiving an alert that oil pressure was dropping.
While the jet made an emergency landing at 6:10 p.m. on Tuesday, the defense ministry said it was not until around 9:30 p.m. that it was notified by the U.S. military about the matter.

- "Because C'Dots are so small, they also diffuse better," he says. "They can basically get through all of the tumor, not just the periphery, which is important because if you only get to the periphery, then the tumor shrinks from outside in, which takes a long time. But if you can diffuse through the entire tumor tissue, you can basically begin disintegrating the whole tumor from day one."
Elucida's technology features a 10-step process in which C'Dots either find their mark or are eliminated. After injection and circulation in the bloodstream, the CDCs find the tumor, which by nature has a porous surrounding vasculature due to rapid growth, a hallmark of cancerous tissue.
CDCs then diffuse through the tumor microenvironment in order to specifically target tumor cells. This is key: The better CDCs diffuse through the entirety of the tumor, the better they can target cells throughout the tumor, and not just those on the surface layer.
"Target or Clear" leads to efficient biodistribution; accumulation in the tumor is maximized, while off-target accumulation (in the liver, for example) is minimized, reducing the potential for negative side effects such as those often suffered by chemotherapy patients.
Despite their ultra-small size, C'Dots can be armed with a payload of up to 80 molecules of synthetic drugs without compromising the desired targeting and pharmacokinetic properties. In comparison, typical ADCs only carry four drug molecules.
The reason for the superior drug capacity? It's the hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) shell, which provides colloidal stability in aqueous solutions, including blood serum. The PEG chains are arranged somewhat perpendicular to the silica core's surface, in what's called a "brush" conformation.
The drug payload rests in between the PEG chains – the "bristles" of the brush – meaning the hydrophobic drugs don't destabilize C'Dots in solution.
"You can really think of it as a forest, where you have the drugs in between the trees," Wiesner said. "An antibody does not have such a surface brush layer. There are no trees to hide in between, leading to a lower drug loading capacity."

- Major General Ibrahim Nasser Al Alawi, commander of the UAE Air Force and Air Defence, said in a statement on state news agency WAM late on Saturday that the Rafale jets would replace the UAE's French-built Mirage 2000 fleet.
"This deal is not considered as an alternative for the forthcoming F-35 deal, it is rather a complementary deal … as we develop our air force capabilities," Alawi said, adding the UAE had for some time been looking to replace its Mirage fleet.
The sale of 50 F-35 warplanes made by Lockheed Martin to the UAE has slowed amid concerns in Washington over Abu Dhabi's relationship with China, including use of Huawei 5G technology in the country.
Last month, a U.S. official said the United States intends to move forward with the sale but that there must be a clear understanding of "Emirati obligations."
The United States under then-President Donald Trump agreed to sell the jets after the UAE last year established ties with Israel. President Joe Biden's administration has said this year it would proceed with the sale.
