Some NOAA Visualizations Data Projections More Gravity Sun Moon Global Cooperation https://youtu.be/4waIa-2tMlY My comments and a few suggestions. Then another pitch for global cooperation, and for help with gravimeter arrays to scan the atmosphere, the oceans, the earth interior, the moon, sun and planets and moons.

Thanks for the links. I spent the last few days going over the NexGen Level 3 Weather radar system. I downloaded many example datasets and tried to review and organize all the parts of it. Looking to see how to integrated radar, satellite, SDR (electromagnetic networks of many sorts), GPS and other sensor networks and

Comment on how to copy trees and find Birth Parents using Ancestry DNA

Richard K Collins Global DNA Genealogy, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Non-Profit Groups Using the Internet July 29, 2021

I have used Family Tree Maker which syncs to Ancestry. You download the trees to FTM and merge them, and then upload to a new tree. The merging is tedious but better than “save to tree” bit by bit. It is the ONLY method I found that preserves the records as records so that all

Comment to a private group on Facebook about DNA genealogy

Richard K Collins Internet efficiency, Non-Profit Groups Using the Internet, Web Policies Internet Polices July 28, 2021

This group has grown to over 100,000 members. I see some wonderful advice that should probably be in a globally accessible form. This is a “private” group, so nothing posted here is seen or indexed and available except to people who join. I have helped more than a hundred people with finding their birth parents,

Comment on Google Search Hints for Search for Melting point of Al2O3

Richard K Collins Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Web Policies Internet Polices July 27, 2021

https://www.google.com/search?q=melting+point+of+al203 You are giving Fahrenheit temperatures on the Internet, and the global standard is SI. You are not only serving the few people in the world who are still not using Metric, but everyone. Or you ought to. K is the abbreviation for Kelvin. So it looked like you are giving 2.07 Kelvin at first

Equation Accessibility on ScienceDirect.com, Encouraging Global Collaboration

Richard K Collins Collaborative Model and Data, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Open Algorithm Development, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Symbolic Mathematics July 25, 2021

I like the MathML and equation accessibility of your pages. I am at https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/observability right now. But suggest you integrate some tools to immediately use the equations.  You have LOTS of them on your site, and they are disconnected fragments. Collectively they can change the world. And, there is no sense of community on this

Emily, I have not forgotten about you and NASA.gov. In fact, I spent many full days checking different aspects of what is going on, who is doing it, who it serves, how much (if any) user involvement is allowed, the level of practice shown in the pages, integration (or not) with contractors and federal agencies,

Are 3D simulation results shared globally in an efficient manner?

Richard K Collins Collaborative Global Model of the Sun, Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Web Policies Internet Polices July 23, 2021

David, I came across an old video on YouTube that refers to PSAAP.  Here is the link: Towards air-breathing hypersonic vehicles through numerical simulations – PSAAP at Stanford by Ivan Bermejo-Moreno https://youtu.be/llM8RSGagXI?t=120 In this simulation, at two minutes, it is showing cross sections.  I was wondering if, in any of these 3D simulations you do,

Hello, Is there, somewhere, a profile of the Document Foundation community online?  The “LibreOffice community”?  The “Community Map” has no weights or sizes. I looked at the people and groups that you follow, and a bit of who they follow and are linked to.  https://twitter.com/tdforg  I attached my notes. The totals are not indicative of
