Saint Barthelemy was for many years a French commune forming part of Guadeloupe, which is an overseas region and department of France. Through a referendum in 2003, island residents sought separation from the administrative jurisdiction of Guadeloupe, and it was finally accomplished in 2007. The island of Saint Barthelemy became an Overseas Collectivity (COM). A governing territorial council was elected for its administration, which has provided the island with a certain degree of autonomy. The Hotel de Ville, which was the town hall, is now the Hotel de la Collectivite. A senator represents the island in Paris. St. Barthelemy has retained its free port status.

What is the current name of the building in St. Barts that serves as town hall?
Answer: Hotel de la Collectivite

Autumn, winter, and early spring are frequently characterized by rain. Winters are cool and wet with December, the coolest month, averaging 40.6 F (4.8 C), with 28 annual days with lows that reach the freezing mark, and 2.0 days where the temperature stays at or below freezing all day; the temperature rarely lowers to 20 F (7 C). Summers are sunny, dry and warm, with August, the warmest month, averaging 66.1 F (18.9 C), and with temperatures reaching 90 F (32 C) on 3.1 days per year, although 2011 is the most recent year to not reach 90 F. The hottest officially recorded temperature was 103 F (39 C) on July 29, 2009; the coldest recorded temperature was 0 F (18 C) on January 31, 1950; the record cold daily maximum is 16 F (9 C) on January 14, 1950, while, conversely, the record warm daily minimum is 71 F (22 C) the day the official record high was set. The average window for freezing temperatures is November 16 thru March 10, allowing a growing season of 250 days.

How long is the growing season in the Seattle area?
Answer: 250 days

Depleted uranium is also used as a shielding material in some containers used to store and transport radioactive materials. While the metal itself is radioactive, its high density makes it more effective than lead in halting radiation from strong sources such as radium. Other uses of depleted uranium include counterweights for aircraft control surfaces, as ballast for missile re-entry vehicles and as a shielding material. Due to its high density, this material is found in inertial guidance systems and in gyroscopic compasses. Depleted uranium is preferred over similarly dense metals due to its ability to be easily machined and cast as well as its relatively low cost. The main risk of exposure to depleted uranium is chemical poisoning by uranium oxide rather than radioactivity (uranium being only a weak alpha emitter).

What trait causes depleted uranium to be used in gyroscopic compasses?
Answer:
high density
