"I've loved the sickbay on Star Trek: The Next Generation since I was a teenager... Cortical stimulators that revive the unconscious, no matter how traumatising their injuries. Biobeds that enclose patients within sensor arrays, short metal tunnels that scan and analyse —all, I imagine, while keeping sick and hurt beings warm... Our delivery suite has a pseudo-dot-matrix printer, a team of blue scrubs, and the promise of a scalpel."

What the attack on Monticello cost was not the truth. The truth is in the ground, in the archive, in the oral histories collected beginning in 1993, in the names Stanton and Swann-Wright recovered, in the descendants' faces in the photographs taken on the West Lawn steps. Those things were put in the record by specific people doing specific work over three decades, and they remain; the work was done carefully enough that it survives the institution's retreat from it. What the attack cost was the institution's willingness to stand in front of that truth without flinching. That is a real cost.

The original wreck released thousands of metric tons of heavy fuel, known as mazut, in what was described as the Black Sea region’s worst environmental disaster in decades.

A staff member sent the personal details of around 150 women who were in contact with a Scottish NHS Trust’s maternity services to their own personal email account, the Trust has revealed. NHS Forth Valley, the health board that oversees NHS services in the region between Edinburgh and Glasgow, said it is investigating the matter and has contacted the women affected. “An internal investigation is underway after a member of staff transferred a spreadsheet containing an extract of data from our maternity system to their personal email address,” a spokesperson said. "While the majority of information in the spreadsheet is unidentifiable, it contained some lines of data relating to a number of women who had accessed local maternity services. "There is no evidence that the information has been shared any wider at this stage, and the member of staff has also advised that they have now deleted the data.” NHS Forth Valley has contacted to data subjects directly and informed a number of other relevant organizations, including the UK Information Commissioner. A new mum who was one of the circa 150 women affected by the data mishap, told the Fakirk Herald, which first reported the story, that she was experiencing anxiety that her details were out in the public domain. The woman reportedly was told by NHS Forth Valley that the information was transferred for analytical purposes and concerned a fully qualified, non-clinical staff member, and not a junior. She was also informed that the data in the spreadsheet included full names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, pregnancy treatment information, and the patients’ total number of children. NHS Forth Valley said it had made Police Scotland and the Information Commissioner’s Office aware of what happened. The UK’s health service, for all its merits, has a far from sparkling record when it comes to email-based data breaches. Between bungled Freedom of Information responses to the BCC function proving too difficult for staff members, the NHS and wider UK public sector have been the subject of their fair share of blunders in recent years. Two separate Trusts – Chelsea and Westminster and NHS Highland – failed to protect HIV patients’ data when bulk-sending responses via the CC field instead of the BCC field in recent years. Between 2020 and 2021, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was also found exposing extraneous data in spreadsheets sent as part of FoI responses. And perhaps our favorite NHS clanger of all, the service’s Digital division, no less, exposed hundreds of email addresses via a failed BCC attempt when sending four separate emails to attendees of a cybersecurity event. ®

Thirty years after the European Space Agency first demonstrated the power of flying two satellites in very close formation, the concept was recently recreated. By temporarily positioning two Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar satellites to replicate the pioneering ERS-1–ERS-2 ‘tandem mission’, ESA achieved one-day repeat imaging of the same Antarctic region. The results once again demonstrate how this approach can be used to measure glacier motion and pinpoint the critical grounding line with exceptional precision.

This ice-flow velocity map of glaciers and ice streams in the Antarctic Peninsula and West Antarctica is derived from multiannual Sentinel-1 observations. The map provides regional context for the study areas, with the Scar Inlet Ice Shelf highlighted in the inset.

The image shows Evans Ice Stream – a six-day Sentinel-1A–Sentinel-1C interferogram (left), a one-day Sentinel-1C–Sentinel-1D interferogram (centre), and a Sentinel-1C–Sentinel-1D double-difference interferogram (right). The shorter repeat-pass interval and double-difference processing clearly reveal tidal deformation zones and shear zones, demonstrating the enhanced capability for mapping ice dynamics, shear zones and the grounding line.

Ja goh wie had dat nou verwacht behalve iedereen? De islamitische tyfusschool Cornelius Haga in Amsterdam-West is nog steeds een tyfusschool. Het is zelfs zo'n tyfusschool, dat iedere keer als er een inspectie langskomt die inspectie zegt: sjonge jonge jonge wat een tyfusschool. Ook dit keer blijkt die tyfusschool weer een tyfusschool. Volgens de inspectie heeft het tyfusschoolbestuur 'langdurig en in ernstige mate nagelaten om het onderwijs te verbeteren’. Staatssecretaris Tielen van Onderwijs beraadt zich 'op vervolgstappen, waarbij het belang van de leerlingen voorop zal staan'. Nu is de tyfusschool al sinds de oprichting een tyfusschool dus we zijn erg benieuwd welke keiharde maatregelen het kabinet nu weer neemt!
