  1. Here's another wild track of thought and a means of aeroplane tracking I previously have never heard of. I wonder how many were listening to this flight via Multilateration & ADS-B. WHAT you say, details here... http://www.multilateration.com/surveillance/multilateration.html I was reading, as you do the comments to this one CIA rendition jet was waiting in Europe to SNATCH SNOWDEN Unmarked Gulfstream tracked as it passed above UK http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/13/cia_rendition_jet_was_waiting_in_europe_to_snatch_snowden/ where Multilateration & ADS-B was used to track the flight http://regmedia.co.uk/2014/06/12/snowjetrack.png
  2. Beware the "teerorists" American Scientists Recreate Deadly Spanish Flu Virus June 12th, 2014 Via: Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/american-scientists-controversially-recreate-deadly-spanish-flu-virus-9529707.html The extinct influenza virus that caused the worst flu pandemic in history has been recreated from fragments of avian flu found in wild ducks in a controversial experiment to show how easy it would be for the deadly flu strain to reemerge today. Scientists said the study involved infecting laboratory ferrets with close copies of the 1918 virus – which was responsible for the Spanish Flu pandemic that killed an estimated 50 million people – to see how easy it can be transmitted in the best animal model of the human disease. But other researchers have denounced the research as foolhardy and dangerous. Critics said that any benefits of the attempts to recreate 1918-like flu viruses from existing avian flu strains do not justify the catastrophic risks if such a genetically engineered virus were to escape either deliberately or accidentally from the laboratory and cause a deadly influenza pandemic.
  3. In Patong, Phuket you can have a FREE mini Cabaret at the LB bar "Cocktail & Dreams" twice per night. It's not bad. There was a bigger Cabaret in Soi Crocodile (off Bangla Rd) called "Moulin Rose" but a month or two ago it was "on hold" and there is another one around in the Paradise Complex, but I forget it's name, also a mostly GayBoy Cabaret. ALL of them are good for a once over.

  7. and so it continues Kiwi loses job after MH370 email LAURA WALTERS Last updated 05:00 08/06/2014 The Kiwi who spotted what may have been the burning missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 off the coast of Vietnam was sacked from his position on an oil rig after reporting the incident. Mike McKay was working on the Songa Mercur oil rig off the Vietnamese coast in March when the Boeing 777 jet with 239 passengers and crew went missing. McKay sent an email to his employers after he saw what he believed to be a burning plane, which was leaked to the media. Following the publication of his email, name and place of work, the rig operator, Idemitsu, and McKay's contractor and rig owner, Songa Offshore, were inundated with inquiries that blocked their communications, McKay said. "This became intolerable for them and I was removed from the rig and not invited back." McKay said he was paid up until the end of his hitch, or work period, but released from the rig five days early. The subcontractor that he was working under, M-I Swaco, said McKay was being released early as it had a local-salary engineer to take his place, he said. "Contracts meant little in the oil field," McKay said. "The oil patch is a rough, unforgiving game." The drilling fluids consultant has worked mostly in Southeast Asia for the past 35 years and in Vietnam waters almost continuously since 2008. He is now back in New Zealand and is waiting for a new contract. McKay saw what he believed to be a burning plane at high altitude, which appeared to be in one piece. "I believe I saw the Malaysian Airlines plane come down. The timing is right." In his email he described his exact location on the oil rig, the compass bearing of where the plane was in relation to the rig, the approximate distance of the plane from the rig, the surface current and wind direction. The plane was off the normal flight path, he said, explaining he knew that because "we see the contrails every day". He signed off the email with "good luck" followed by his full name and New Zealand passport number. Vietnamese officials interviewed McKay in Vung Tau and were going to act on his sighting but the search moved to the Andaman Sea two days after the interview, McKay said. But neither the Malaysian nor Australian search teams had been in touch, he said. McKay also made a statement to New Zealand Police for Interpol on his return home. Last week another person, a woman sailing between India and Thailand in early March, came forward and told Australian authorities she may have seen the missing airliner on fire on the same day as McKay, but in a different location. Katherine Tee, 41, was on night watch on the deck of her yacht in early March when she claims she saw a plane surrounded by bright orange lights and with a tail of black smoke pass above her. She only recently reported her sighting to the Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre in Australia because she said she and her husband were not talking and she did not think anyone else would believe her. McKay said his sighting was over the South China Sea, which would place it around 2000 kilometres away from Tee's sighting. He was unsure if MH370 could have flown that far: "How far can a burning aeroplane fly?" The ongoing search for the missing airliner raised a lot of unanswered questions, he said. "The investigators do not inspire trust." Investigators searching for MH370 have now ruled out an area in the Southern Indian Ocean where acoustic signals were detected, after an unmanned submersible found no trace of the airliner, the Australian agency co-ordinating the hunt said last month. The Australian Transport and Safety Bureau is calling for tenders for vessels and sonar equipment to continue the hunt, but the new commercial arm of the search would not start for another couple of months and could take up to a year. Last week Wellington-based space scientist and physicist Duncan Steel told news agency Bernama the search should be extended thousands of kilometres north to a Kyrgyzstan valley where a cloud of smoke was seen at about the time the plane could have crashed. Steel, who works with Nasa, said consideration should be given to the northern corridor of the plane's possible flight path.
  8. LOL Probably they are at the lower end of the IQ scale, barley above "knuckle dragger". Unless they are VERY rich (unlikely) why not just dump them (gently) and move on to nicer people who will not waste your time and effort.

  13. Yet another wildcard. There is another of these acoustic Buoys about to pulled up. Apparently they are SO SENSITIVE that they record INDIVIDUAL Icebergs breaking off the Ice shelf in AntarcticaSome useful pictures and graphics here https://www.flickr.com/photos/106331196@N07/sets/72157644591711570/ Curtin researchers in search for acoustic evidence of MH370http://news.curtin.edu.au/media-releases/curtin-researchers-search-acoustic-evidence-mh370/Wednesday 4 June 2014Curtin University researchers have been examining a low-frequency underwater sound signal that could have resulted from Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370.The signal, which was picked up by underwater sound recorders off Rottnest Island just after 1:30 am UTC on the 8th March, could have resulted from Flight MH370 crashing into the Indian Ocean but could also have originated from a natural event, such as a small earth tremor.However, there are large uncertainties in the estimate and it appears it is not compatible with the satellite ‘handshake’ data transmitted from the aircraft, which is currently considered the most reliable source of information.Scientists from Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology along with colleagues from the United Nations’ Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) and Geoscience Australia have been involved in the search for sounds that might help with search efforts.Dr Alec Duncan, Senior Research Fellow and part of Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology team, explained that a passive acoustic observatory 40 kilometres west of Rottnest Island that forms part of the Commonwealth-funded Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) had provided the potential lead.“Soon after the aircraft disappeared, scientists at CTBTO analysed data from their underwater listening stations south-west of Cape Leeuwin and in the northern Indian Ocean. They did not turn up anything of interest,” Dr Duncan said.“But when the MH370 search area was moved to the southern Indian Ocean, scientists from Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology decided to recover the IMOS acoustic recorders located west of Rottnest Island.“Data from one of the IMOS recorders showed a clear acoustic signal at a time that was reasonably consistent with other information relating to the disappearance of MH370.“The crash of a large aircraft in the ocean would be a high energy event and expected to generate intense underwater sounds.”Dr Duncan said the signal could also have been due to natural causes – such as a small earth tremor – but the timing made it of interest in the search for MH370.“It has since been matched with a signal picked up by CTBTO’s station south-west of CapeLeeuwin.“A very careful re-check of data from that station showed a signal, almost buried in the background noise but consistent with what was recorded on the IMOS recorder off Rottnest,” Dr Duncan said.“The CTBTO station receives a lot of sound from the Southern Ocean and Antarctic coastline, which is why the signal showed up more noticeably on the Rottnest recorder.“Using the three hydrophones from the Cape Leeuwin station, it was possible to get a precise bearing that showed the signal came from the north-west.“Comparing the arrival time of the signal at the IMOS recorder with the time of its arrival at the Cape Leeuwin station, it was possible for Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology team to come up with an approximate distance to the source of the sound along this north-west bearing.Dr Duncan said Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology team would continue to work with search authorities.“Although we have now completed our analysis of these signals, Curtin’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology still has several recorders deployed that could conceivably have picked up signals relating to MH370.“Due to various factors, we consider it very unlikely that they would have done so and have therefore not recovered them to date. We will, however, be carefully analysing their recordings when they are recovered in due course,” Dr Duncan said. PacMan, I see Dieago Garcia on that track Here is oneMap showing estimated uncertainty region (yellow polygon) for the source of the signals shown in Fig. 1. Magenta points and text show the locations of the various recording stations. RCS is the CMST recorder west of Rottnest Island, HA01 is CTBTO station off Cape Leeuwin, and HA08S is the southern CTBTO BIOT/Chagos Archipelago array. The fix was calculated using data received at RCS and HA01. The signal was not received at HA08S which could be due to it being blocked by shallow water to the north or northwest of this station or poor coupling of the signal into the Deep Sound Channel due to an unfavourable seabed slope.

By Shaun Nichols, 31 May 2014 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/31/science_explains_why_you_love_the_smell_of_bacon/ Pics Potato in SPAAAAACE: LOHAN chap cooks up stratospud with Heston Blumenthal Pics El Reg Quid-A-Day Nosh Posse back on the bacon Can you smell bacon? Yes! And it's coming from your iPhone! Boffins invent LUMINOUS PIGS again, glow-in-dark bacon sarnies presumably imminent Brilliant Brit bloke builds breakfast-belching BACON DRONE Scientists have explained the reason why humans love the smell of frying bacon. Bacon-boffins from the American Chemical Society and Compound Interest produced a video summarizing a research effort into the compounds that give everyone's favorite cured breakfast meat its distinctive and wonderful aroma. Video: The Smell of Bacon The video explains that bacon's smell is the result of a process known as the Maillard Reaction, in which sugars break down and combine with amino acids to form any of 150 different organic compounds. Among those compounds, researchers say, is a collection of aldehydes, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen-containing pyridines and pyrazines which humans (and most other carnivorous or omnivorous species) find so enticing. That collection of compounds is unique to bacon and is not produced when other types of pork are fried. The groups reference a 2004 study by Spanish researchers which investigated and compared the smells produced by frying bacon and pork loin. The study concluded that the nitrites present in bacon were likely the reason it produced a preferable aroma to other pork products. Unfortunately, the study did not address the English v. American bacon issue that has divided the Reg San Francisco office along international lines. Our Yank staff prefer the crisp and fatty American rendition, while the Brits maintain that their leaner, more chewy bacon is tops. ®

    Coup!

  23. This is beyond beleievable. Initially it was a new variation on the story everyday, and as time has gone on the time between variation has draw out. Next... abduction by aliens? U.S. Navy official says 'pings' unlikely from missing Malaysia jet: CNN May 28th 2014 10:20PM (Reuters) - A U.S. Navy official said four acoustic pings at the center of the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in March, are no longer believed to be from the aircraft's black boxes, according to a report by CNN. Australian search authorities narrowed the search for the missing jet last month after picking up a series of pings near where analysis of satellite data put the last location of the Boeing 777, some 1,600 km off Australia's northwest coast. CNN said authorities now almost universally believe the pings did not come from the onboard data or cockpit voice recorders, but instead came from some other man-made source unrelated to the jetliner that disappeared on March 8, according to Michael Dean, the U.S. Navy's deputy director of ocean engineering. "Our best theory at this point is that (the pings were) likely some sound produced by the ship ... or within the electronics of the Towed Pinger Locator," Dean said. The discovery of the pings on April 5 and 8 was hailed as a significant breakthrough but no further promising signals were heard before the expiry of the batteries on the black boxes' locator beacons. A scan of the area around the pings with an unnamed submarine failed to find any sign of wreckage and no debris linked to the plane has ever been picked up despite the most extensive and expensive search effort in aviation history. Australian authorities leading the search did not immediately respond to requests for comment. MH370 was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew when it vanished on March 8. Authorities have not ruled out mechanical problems as a cause but say the evidence, including the loss of communications, suggests it was deliberately diverted thousands of kilometers from its scheduled route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
