We noticed that the stove (which his wife had set on medium heat) was about 400F at the edge of the flame and about 600F at the center of the burner. skibm80 is right that boiling water won't get above 212F, but the stove itself could get quite a bit hotter. I wouldn't put glass directly on the stove.

It is an oil cartel whose mission is to coordinate the policies of the oil-producing countries. The goal is to secure a steady income to the member states and to secure supply of oil to the consumers.
OPSEC is threat driven, concerned with specific identified threat(s) against an activity where traditional security programs concentrate on a generalized threat and are not situation-specific. OPSEC is a fluid process that is controlled by the commander; it is not a lock-step program solely directed by regulations. OPSEC addresses all exploitable sources of information, not just the classified. It looks at what we have to do and how we operate.
