The Gift that Keeps on Giving…We are now unofficially in the holiday season and time to get that special gift for that special someone—a book, of course. And even Cousin Eddie would agree that a “thriller” is better than a year membership in the Jelly of the Month Club.
A gifted undergraduate majoring in computer science and an archaeology professor unwittingly team up with a Middle Eastern arms dealer to find the lost Inca gold worth hundreds of millions of dollars, hidden in the remote mountains of the Llanganatis in Ecuador. Over the last five hundred years, many have searched for the gold, a few have perished, but no one has found it. Follow the team as they leverage cutting-edge technology, combining artificial intelligence with state-of-the-art satellite imagery, to search for the gold following the clues left in an ancient document. As the young programmer prepares to enter the mountains, COVID hits the team. Technology takes a back seat to the harsh realities of the Llanganatis. Will he be able to follow up on the clues he has uncovered to find the lost gold? Remember, those on the cutting-edge bleed.

Satellite imagery shows that entire neighborhoods under Israeli military control have been flattened in less than a month through extensive demolitions, while the number of destroyed structures may be significantly higher.

Israel has demolished more than 1,500 buildings in an area of Gaza that has been under its control beyond the “yellow line” since the ceasefire began, according to a report by the BBC.
A four-panel satellite image comparison shows two different areas before and after Israeli military operations. • Top left (14 October 2025, “Four days after ceasefire”): A dense neighborhood with intact buildings and grid-like streets. • Bottom left (10 November 2025, “One month after ceasefire”): The same area appears almost entirely leveled — buildings reduced to rubble, streets barely visible. • Top right (10 October 2025, “Day of the ceasefire”): Another neighborhood with numerous standing buildings and clear infrastructure. • Bottom right (10 November 2025, “One month after ceasefire”): The same location shows widespread destruction, with most structures flattened and the landscape appearing sand-colored and barren. The comparison visually emphasizes how intact neighborhoods were systematically reduced to rubble within the span of a month.

Full disk satellite view of Earth centered on Africa and Europe, with partial views of South America and the Middle East. The satellite image showing Earth from geostationary orbit, captured by EUMETSAT's Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite using the GeoColor RGB composite technique. The image displays both day and night views of Earth, with the daytime portion showing true color representation of land and clouds, while the nighttime portion appears darker with visible city lights. White cloud formations are scattered across the image, particularly along the intertropical convergence zone. The image provides a full disk view of Earth, showing the planet's curvature against a black background.

NOAA Scale: G3 - Strong
Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK07 Serial Number: 197 Issue Time: 2025 Nov 12 1038 UTC ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 Threshold Reached: 2025 Nov 12 1033 UTC Synoptic Period: 0900-1200 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G3 - Strong NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 50 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Power system voltage irregularities possible, false alarms may be triggered on some protection devices. Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites and orientation problems may occur. Navigation - Intermittent satellite navigation (GPS) problems, including loss-of-lock and increased range error may occur. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio may be intermittent.

B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was above S-scale storm level thresholds. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 S1 or greater 99% 75% 55% Rationale: The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue above the S1 (Minor) threshold through 13 Nov, with S2 levels possible through 12 Nov. Further enhancements are possible with the arrival of the 09-11 Nov CMEs on 11 and 12 Nov. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Nov 11 2025 1004 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 R1-R2 85% 85% 85% R3 or greater 55% 55% 55% Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected, with further R3 (Strong) activity likely on 12-14 Nov due to the flare potential of Region 4274.

From an 18th century coaching inn, the 'Two-Pot House Inn'. When the Cork to Limerick road was built a new coaching stop was opened and named 'New Two-Pot-House' to distinguish it from the coaching stop on the older road.
