OBAMA, PUTIN TALK AS UNREST ROILS EASTERN UKRAINE
Wall Street Journal: White House Tells Kremlin Diplomacy Is Still an Option Despite Escalation
By CAROL E. LEE in Washington, JAMES MARSON in Slovyansk, Ukraine, and LUKAS I. ALPERT in Moscow CONNECT
Updated April 14, 2014 8:30 p.m. ET
The U.S. stepped up efforts to dissuade Russia from intervening in Ukraine's increasingly unstable east, with President Barack Obama telling President Vladimir PutinMonday that a diplomatic solution to the crisis is still possible even as he warned against further escalation.
Russia requested the call, the first between the presidents since March 28, after Mr. Putin annexed Crimea.
The White House also confirmed that Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennanwas in Kiev over the weekend, at the same time that pro-Russian separatists were taking over a string of cities and towns in eastern Ukraine.
The moves come ahead of a high-stakes meeting this week between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and officials from Russia, Ukraine and the European Union, as well as a visit to Kiev next week by Vice President Joe Biden.
On Tuesday, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, the military commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, will issue recommendations on Western military support for Ukraine. The general has privately advocated increased strategic intelligence sharing, and is expected to recommend such a step to NATO leaders.
A senior administration official said that Mr. Obama in Monday's call made clear that a diplomatic solution is still possible, but told Mr. Putin Russia's actions aren't consistent with a negotiated settlement. Mr. Obama in the call also said it is up to Ukrainians, not Russia or the U.S., to decide how and whether to decentralize power to local governments.
Monday's phone call between Messrs. Obama and Putin appeared to be more of a back-and-forth over their differences than a breakthrough discussion about a resolution.
"In answer to the concerns the American president expressed about alleged Russian intervention in the Southeast, the Russian president noted that such speculation is based on unreliable information," a statement from the Kremlin said. It also said Mr. Putin urged Mr. Obama "to use everything the American side has at its disposal to avoid the use of force and bloodshed."
Washington is intensifying efforts after the escalation of recent days set off alarms at the White House.
Behind the White House strategy is an effort to both push back on Moscow and to reassure the government in Kiev, whose response to the unrest has veered between hard-line and conciliatory.
A day after threatening to mobilize the military if the separatists didn't stand down, Ukraine's acting president instead offered an apparent olive branch Monday, saying he wasn't opposed to a national referendum on granting greater autonomy to the regions.
At the same time, Moscow has continued to flout the West. U.S. officials disclosed Monday that a Russian attack plane made 12 close passes near a U.S. warship in the Black Sea over 90 minutes during the weekend.
Mr. Obama has come under pressure to send a sharper message to Mr. Putin by imposing much deeper sanctions than the current travel bans and asset freezes on a few dozen officials.
U.S. officials said they are preparing to do that in the coming days, while acknowledging that European allies, whose economies are more intertwined with Russia, are more reluctant to take that step.
"We are actively evaluating what is happening in eastern Ukraine, what actions Russia has taken," White House press secretary Jay Carney said. "And we are working with our partners and assessing for ourselves what response we may choose." He again ruled out a military response.
EU foreign ministers on Monday extended their targeted sanctions list but held off going any further. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the bloc's leaders could meet next week to further ratchet up pressure if the Geneva talks don't produce results. "It is the position of Europe to increase the pressure without making dialogue impossible," he said in Brussels.
Europeans appear to agree on the need for greater economic pain if Russian military units overtly move into Ukraine.
But the current situation remains short of that, representing a gray area in which pro-Russian separatists—encouraged by Moscow—are pushing for greater autonomy without outright military intervention.
U.S. military officials said there appeared to be no change in the size or positions of Russian forces massed along the Ukrainian border.
Russia has denied any intervention in Ukraine, a position repeated Monday by Mr. Putin in the call to Mr. Obama, according to the Kremlin.
Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics, said Mr. Obama should act now on the economic sanctions before it becomes too late.
"This is the last chance for the U.S. to make a difference without going in with much heavier resources," he said.
The rekindled crisis also complicates Mr. Obama's domestic political calculations in a year of crucial elections, drawing the focus away from his economic agenda and pushing Mr. Obama closer to a decision on yet another red line he drew with a foreign leader.
"The consequences of inaction are enormous because it would be not only a signal to President Putin that we're not willing to impose costs," said Juan Zarate, who was Deputy National Security Adviser under President George W. Bush. "But it would also be another example on the international stage where the president sets down a threat, and the language of potential costs or consequences, and they go unmet."
Mr. Obama spoke Monday with French President François Hollande, officials in Washington and Paris said, after talking with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday.
And U.S. officials signed a $1 billion loan guarantee at the Treasury Department on Monday to help Ukraine adjust to economic and financial reforms.
U.S. officials signaled in recent days that their next step could more likely be to adopt tougher sanctions against oligarchs and other entities tied to the Ukraine unrest. They said they are considering a range of options that allow them to calibrate sanctions in response to Moscow's actions, which include sanctioning sectors of the Russian economy.
U.S. officials said they believe European leaders ultimately will get behind stricter sanctions. "They get the message that if the Russians either invade or keep escalating this current effort, a bigger hammer has to drop," a senior administration official said.
Kiev appeared to signal increasing desperation, highlighted by its response to opponents who have commandeered further territory. A deadline for the pro-Russian militants in eastern Ukraine to lay down their arms or face a full-scale operation came and went with no sign of military action.
A referendum on greater independence from the central government in Kiev has been a key demand made by the militias that have commandeered government buildings in the east.
Russia has also called for Ukraine to change its constitution and switch to a federal system that would grant greater independence to regions, particularly in the east, which are more heavily ethnic Russian and more closely tied to Moscow economically.
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov told lawmakers that, if parliament agrees, a referendum could be held alongside the presidential election set for May 25. He said he was "certain that a large majority of Ukrainians…will favor an indivisible, independent, democratic and unified Ukraine."
A day earlier, Mr. Turchynov had vowed to drive the militants out following the killing of a special forces officer and wounding of five others near the city of Slovyansk on Sunday.
On Monday, there was no sign of Ukrainian soldiers or of the heavily armed pro-Russian forces that helped seize control of government buildings in the city of 100,000 people. The streets remained calm, though some stores were closed.
Meanwhile, about 80 kilometers, or 50 miles, south in Horlivka, local reports said pro-Russian forces threw Molotov cocktails inside a police station and set it on fire.
They later reportedly managed to take full command of the building. Russia's Interfax news agency also reported that a group of about 20 pro-Russian militants marched unopposed into the city council building in nearby Zhdanivka and raised a separatist flag overhead after local authorities agreed to side with them.
On Monday, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov insisted that Russia has no forces inside Ukraine. "We do not interfere in the internal affairs of Ukraine. It is against our interests. We do not have our agents there," he said.
In a phone call with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Mr. Turchynov invited U.N. peacekeepers to join Ukraine's "antiterrorism" operation, the parliamentary press service said.
A peacekeeping mission would have to be approved by the U.N. Security Council, where Russia has a veto.

The 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show gave a taster, via a concept, to what has now become the new Kia ProCeed GT, a refreshing newcomer from the giant South Korean carmaker.
Right away, I must state that the newcomer is not an out and out sports performer; however it does deliver a mix of sportiness and comfort all in a body which is not a hatchback but much more of a shooting brake.
Wrapped in a five door body style and with smooth purposeful lines and high levels of equipment and safety, it's clear Kia has managed to produce yet another winner with the ProCeed GT.
My opportunity to try the new GT came in Spain over a mix of roads, both motorway and rural and apart from the drive quality, I was also pleasantly surprised with the relatively low cabin noise.
The core element, of course, is what rests beneath the bonnet and this GT has a 1.6 litre, four cylinder engine mated to a seven speed automatic transmission and with 201bhp at the command of the right foot, this mix does deliver a very rewarding drive.
The engine and transmission in perfect harmony just simply put a smile on my face and it will do the same for others who decide on this sleek newcomer.
Performance which will be the key factor for many buyers; rest to 100kph (62mph) comes up in a respectable 7.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 225kph (140mph), where legal to do so, few will ever experience the top end performance of course. In fact, unless you have access to a racing circuit or the opportunity to venture on to a German autobahn, you may never realise the full performance potential of the ProCeed GT.
On European roads, I always endeavour to find some tarmac akin to what we have in Ireland. On this occasion, luckily, the opportunity presented itself to drive on a route more akin to a rally special stage and this was ideal to experience the road holding and handling qualities, in fact parts of the route were very like the roads we drive in every day in the Republic or Northern Ireland.
The suspension setup is front independent Macpherson strut with coil spring and anti-roll bar while at the rear, it's independent multi link with trailing arm, again with anti-roll bar.
The steering is positive, a rack and pinion, electric motor driven.
Stopping power which is all important, is provided by ventilated discs and I was very glad to have them as on my return to Barcelona Airport a van decided to stop suddenly in the middle lane. Why he did this, I will never know, but it was one of those heart stopping moments!
Styling is important as well as everything else when it comes to our mode of transport and this GT has heaps of it. Body coloured bumpers, high gloss black door mirrors, chrome window surrounds and privacy glass in the rear windows and tailgate.
In the lighting department, LED Bi-Function headlights with daytime LED lights front and rear. I noted especially the full length brake light, giving added safety in poor driving conditions.
Moving to the interior, and it's a mix of design and comfort. Both front seats have height adjustment, the steering wheel is heated- we will love this feature on the Emerald Isle for those chilly mornings! Black high gloss is featured on the front console and door trim; pedals in the best sporting tradition are aluminum and there are sports style wheel mouthed controls.
Keeping in touch, communication and information are ably catered for, a DAB radio with MP3 connectivity and the eight inch screen makes for easy viewing of the sat nav.
To aid parking, there are rear sensors and Smart Park Assist, so no excuse when you try to judge if you can park the GT.
Keeping driver and fellow passengers safe there is a cocktail of passive safety features. To mention but a few, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, emergency stop signal, driver attention warning and even a dual horn, which come to think of it, I did not employ.
As with the rest of the Kia family, the renowned industry leading warranties, so important to many motorists today.
A footnote; when I arrived in the parking area at Barcelona Airport, one of my journalistic colleagues did remark that the styling of the new ProCeed GT was not unlike a certain four door model from a German premium brand that starts with the letter P! I will say no more, leaving that one with you.
For sure this new Kia fits into what I demand from a vehicle; style, performance and the bonus of practicality.

Q: Convert and update continuous serial port communication from Arduino to an integer array in Visual Studios (C#) I am currently reading data coming in continuously from an i2c sensor connected to an Arduino and capturing the data successfully in Visual Studios. The sensor is getting 4 different X, Y values and then sends them via Serial.Print in the format of:
X1,Y1,X2,Y2,X3,Y3,X4,Y4 (Where X1 - X4 and Y1 - Y4 are values that range betwen 0-1023 i.e., 1023,1023,1023,1023,1023,1023,1023,1023) which is then followed up with a Serial.println("") command. This whole process is repeated continuously until turned off. Arduino code:
for (i=0;i<16;i++) { data_buf[i]=0; }
    i=0;
      while(Wire.available() && i < 16) {
        data_buf[i] = Wire.read();
        i++;
      }

     Ix[0] = data_buf[1];
     Iy[0] = data_buf[2];
     s = data_buf[3];
     //Ix[0] += (s & 0x30) <<4;
     Ix[0] = data_buf[1] | ((data_buf[3] >> 4) & 0x03) << 8;
     Iy[0] = data_buf[2] | ((data_buf[3] >> 6) & 0x03) << 8;
     //Ix[0] = Ix[0] / test;

     Ix[1] = data_buf[4];
     Iy[1] = data_buf[5];
     s = data_buf[6];
     Ix[1] += (s & 0x30) <<4;
     Iy[1] += (s & 0xC0) <<2;

     Ix[2] = data_buf[7];
     Iy[2] = data_buf[8];
     s = data_buf[9];
     Ix[2] += (s & 0x30) <<4;
     Iy[2] += (s & 0xC0) <<2;

     Ix[3] = data_buf[10];
     Iy[3] = data_buf[11];
     s = data_buf[12];
     Ix[3] += (s & 0x30) <<4;
     Iy[3] += (s & 0xC0) <<2;

      for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{
if (Ix[i] < 1000)
Serial.print("");
if (Ix[i] < 100)
Serial.print("");
if (Ix[i] < 10)
Serial.print("");
    Serial.print( int(Ix[i]) );
Serial.print(",");
if (Iy[i] < 1000)
Serial.print("");
if (Iy[i] < 100)
Serial.print("");
if (Iy[i] < 10)
Serial.print("");
Serial.print( int(Iy[i]) );
if (i<3)
Serial.print(",");
}

Serial.println("");
delay(15);
}

What I'm have problems with, is converting those values from within Visual Studios so that I can pass on the data as individual integer values. What I have now:
void _spManager_NewSerialDataRecieved(object sender, SerialDataEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.InvokeRequired)
            {
                // Using this.Invoke causes deadlock when closing serial port, and BeginInvoke is good                      practice anyway.
                this.BeginInvoke(new EventHandler<SerialDataEventArgs>(_spManager_NewSerialDataRecieved), new object[] { sender, e });
                return;
            }

            int maxTextLength = 1000; // maximum text length in text box
            if (tbData.TextLength > maxTextLength)
                tbData.Text = tbData.Text.Remove(0, tbData.TextLength - maxTextLength);

            // This application is connected to a Arduino sending ASCCI characters, so data is converted                to text
            string Rawstr = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(e.Data);

            //Get values that are between the ',' from e.Data and store them in our new array
            string[] str = Rawstr.Split(',');

            //Convert str array into new int[] array (or similar) I've tried multiple things with no success
              ??????
             //This results in a "Input string was not in a correct format" error.
            int xx = Convert.ToInt32(str[0]);

            tbData.AppendText(Rawstr);
            tbData.ScrollToCaret();

        }

This is where I am currently stuck. I believe I have an issue where pretty much an infant number of values are going into the string[] str because I don't have a limit on it before it starts to put new values into/and replacing the string values already in it.
Any guidance is appreciated.

A: You can use Linq.
First split on ,, skip the empty and whitespace characters, then trim of the first character (X or Y) and convert the remaining part to an integer.
String Rawstr = "x1,y1,x2,y2," + Environment.NewLine;
Int32[] integers = Rawstr.Split(new [] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.None).Where(s => !String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).Select(s => Convert.ToInt32(s.Substring(1))).ToArray();

For "x1,y1,x2,y2," you get an integer array containing [1,1,2,2].

Joint Consortium Project for Wind Band
"It's time to stop missing him and start remembering him."
That's what my uncle told me on the day my grandfather passed after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Those words soon inspired my Second Symphony. My Grandfather was one of the first people who brought a love of music into my life. My Grandparents took me to the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, we listened to classical together in the car, we played duets on the piano, and they were at most every concert, recital, and parade. I knew the best way to remember him was to bring new music into this world.
That is why I am so happy to announce the Notes of Remembrance Joint Consortium for Wind Band with five of my talented colleagues.
For $500, your ensemble will receive a year exclusivity, beginning in Fall of 2021 (pending COVID-19 safety), for six new works for Wind Band. 20% of every commission we receive we will be donating to The Alzheimer's Association as part of our own The Longest Day project to help find a cure and look forward to a world without Alzheimer's.
We hope to provide more musicians with a chance to learn more about this disease and those it affects, and for many a way to honor someone they may have lost through inspiring new music.
Meet the Composers
♫ Frank Gulino, a native of New York City, now resides in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, where he maintains an active schedule as a composer and bass trombonist. As a leading composer of contemporary brass chamber music and recital literature, Frank has had works commissioned, performed, and recorded by some of the world's foremost brass players, including euphonium virtuosoSteven Mead, the Israel Tuba Duo, and members of the Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, National, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis symphony orchestras, as well as members of all four DC-based premier military bands. With a broadly appealing compositional voice that has led to performances across the United States as well as at venues in Argentina, Canada, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, Panama, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay, Frank's music remains exceedingly popular with performers and audiences alike.
Frank will be writing a fun and energetic fanfare, perfect for starting a program of these six works, but also a great fit for any program. Approx. 5', Grade 3
♫ Madeline A. Lee recently received her Master of Music in Horn Performance under the tutelage of Dr. Natalie Brooke Higgins at the Columbus State University Schwob School of Music. She earned her Bachelor of Music Education from the Conservatory of Music and Dance at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, studying horn with Martin Hackleman, formerly of the National Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Brass, and Empire Brass. In 2018, Madeline was announced as the winner of the Fredericksburg Brass Composition Competition for her brass ensemble piece, The Fair Hero. Another work, Atrevida, for horn, marimba, and non-pitched percussion, was selected as the winning work for the 2019 International Women's Brass Conference Call for Scores. Her most recent composition, Put Me to Rest for Bass Trombone and Piano was chosen to be featured in the 2019 International Trombone Festival Composer's Workshop. In addition to her compositional endeavors, Madeline currently holds the position of Director of Bands for Northumberland County Public Schools in Heathsville, VA, where she teaches instrumental music to both middle and high school students.
Madeline's piece, "Momento," explores the concept of memories being associated with objects through the connection of seemingly unrelated musical ideas. And like a collection of random objects, these memories form something bigger and much more cohesive; they are the essence of who we are. Approx. 6', Grade 4
♫ Katahj Copley (b.1998) is a native of Carrollton, GA. He is currently on track to receive his bachelor's degree in Music Education and Composition at the University of West Georgia. He studied saxophone with Dr. John Bleuel, DMA, composition with Dr. Glenn Eernisse, and euphonium and conducting with Dr. Cale Self. He has been commissioned by colleges/universities and professional ensembles such as the 1st Infantry Brass Choir in Ft. Riley, Kansas conducted by Michael Turner. At his current school, Katahj has premiered works for almost all ensembles at the University of West Georgia including the University of West Georgia Brass Ensemble, Concert Choir, Saxophone Ensemble, and Wind Ensemble. Katahj has also collaborated with the Rhode Island Recording Ensemble- conducted by Brian Cardany and was commissioned by the Nu Alpha chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at Georgia State University. His piece Sunshine was featured during the GMEA District XIII 9-10th Grade Band in February of 2020. He has also collaborated with several chamber groups as well such as the Axos Saxophone Quartet and the Admiral Launch Duo. In the spring of 2020, the University of West Georgia Wind Ensemble premiered NOVA at the 2020 CBDNA Southeast Division Conference. He is currently slated for a premiere of his work INFINITY at the 2020 Midwest Conference.
Katahj's piece "Flicker" will be dedicated to a friend of his and her grandfather. Katahj says, "Her Abuelito was a Cuban man who suffered from Alzheimer's and when asked about him she refers to his eyes. His eyes were so colorful but as the disease got to him up until his death, the color of his eyes started to leave him. This piece will reflect on the beginning and end of a man who was loved." The piece will use Cuban style music. Approx. 7', Grade 5
♫ Jordan Chase writes music that is innovative and appealing to diverse audiences and performers alike. His music is described as "lyrical, rhythmically jagged, and stark in majesty" (The Boston Musical Intelligencer), drawing upon his life experiences to forge a freedom of expression and depth of meaning. Chase was recently commissioned by the TU New Music Ensemble for his string quartet, Drift Into Light, and by the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society for his guitar quartet, Between Earth and Sky. Notable composition awards include second place in the International Boston Guitarfest Composition Competition, the LCO Composition Competition, and the Pappalardo Composition Competition. Chase holds a DMA from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, and currently teaches at Towson University and Levine Music.

AS hosts first Latinx student forum
Shelley Wang, Staff Reporter|December 7, 2020
The event that brought in over 20 students began with co-host Zoram Mercado, VP of internal affairs for AS, screen-sharing music while waiting for students to trickle in. On the call were a few Latinx professors that made themselves available for students to reach out to regarding academics and campus life. (Associated Students)
Associated Students (AS) hosted the first Latinx student open forum on Dec. 4th, held via Zoom, to advocate for a Latinx Unity Center on campus.
This open forum allowed a space for all Latinx-identifying students to join in and voice their concerns regarding the pandemic, student organizations and academia within the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). The forum was the continuation of a meeting that several Latinx students had with President Mahoney earlier this month.
"One of the goals that I wanted to achieve with this is, of course, meet the needs of students. Students were saying they wanted this [forum], so that is our role as Associated Students, to make things happen for students, to advocate for change," said AS board member Jennifer Valencia, one of the hosts of the forum.
The event that brought in over 20 students began with co-host Zoram Mercado, VP of internal affairs for AS, screen-sharing music while waiting for students to trickle in. On the call were a few Latinx professors that made themselves available for students to reach out to regarding academics and campus life.
"Having faculty there and taking a step back to just listen, letting the students kind of just share what they're feeling is important," said SF State graduate student Victor Aguilar.
Hosts Valencia and Mercado started by reiterating the importance of having a space for students and asking what students are looking for once the Latinx Unity Center is established at SF State. A few of them brought up the needs of having a safe space for Latinx students, not only for academic reasons but also as a place where they can receive guidance from fellow Latinx staff.
"Like we were saying during the forum, if they're not in a Latinx studies course, you're hardly going to see a Latinx professor on our campus, and a tenure track… It's very difficult to find that representation," said Valencia.
Associated Students have taken stock of the recurring issues within the Latinx community. Valencia and Mercado have heard over and over again the need for a resource hub and an overall better representation across campus.
"It's not about just having Latinx folks for representation, but, like, queer Latinx, Afro-Latinx, Central-American Latinx. Dark skin, light skin, and first generations other than just Mexican," said Mercado.
Valencia explained that SF State is itself technically a Hispanic Serving Institute, with the student enrollment population being 31.1% "Hispanic". During the prior meeting earlier this month, President Mahoney clarified that the HSI money the school receives is going towards the academic part of the campus rather than student life, but that she would look into applying for more funding.
"I think it's important not only for the Latinx community but for every demographic on campus to have some type of forum like that. It gives them the opportunity to share the injustices or any concerns that they may have that aren't being reflective," said Aguilar.
Though the transition to remote learning has made events like these more difficult to put on, Valencia thinks that it's allowed more students to show up. With SF State being a predominantly commuter school, where only 21.4% of students living in San Francisco fall 2020, many had to think about their commute back home.
"It's a blessing and a curse in many ways because we don't get to have a human to human interaction but we're able to try new things," said Valencia.
Once discussions about the Latinx Unity Center came to an end, Mercado proceeded to play Bad Bunny and allowed a moment for students to share any additional thoughts, ideas, or concerns. Students thanked the two for creating a space for Latinx students to be heard.
"The community helps uplift each other," said Mercado "If I need help finding a textbook, someone would be there. If I need help with my financial aid application I should be able to go to somebody that I know personally that looks like me if I need a translation."

Holly Willoughby scolds Love Island's Tom Walker as claims Maura Higgins overreacted
Narjas ZatatMonday 1 Jul 2019 4:49 pm
This Morning's Holly Willoughby laid into Tom Walker after he claimed Maura Higgins might have played up her anger when she overheard him telling the boys he wanted to see if she was 'all mouth.'
The former Love Islander, who got voted out of the villa by the other contestants along with Arabella Chi, appeared on ITV's This Morning where he talked about the show with hosts Philip Schofield and Holly, as well as Montana Brown, who was on the show in 2017.
Asked about the unfortunate incident, he said: 'It was lad banter gone wrong. It was something I said. I thought she wouldn't…I didn't think she'd go that mad. I thought she would have taken it a bit more on the chin.'
At this point Philip corrected him: 'You thought she wouldn't hear.'
'I knew she'd heard. That's why I had to repeat it,' Tom admitted.
Holly wasn't pulling any punches…and Philip loved it (Picture: ITV)
'There was no going back,' he agreed.
'There was no lying. I had to just say, "Yeah that's what I said." But like I say I thought she might have taken it on the chin like a little tongue-in-cheek, a bit of banter…'
Montana added: 'I didn't think that she would care, to be honest. I was surprised by her reaction cos she seems quite like a flippant person, like she'd brush those things off.'
Tom insists it was all a bit of banter gone wrong (Picture: ITV)
Phillip questioned: 'Do you think she overreacted for effect?'
'Possibly,' Tom groused.
'Oh no,' Holly interjected.
'I don't. I don't think she did. I think she was well within her rights because you did it in front of all of the boys there. And I think that's…you know,' she said, giving him a knowing look, before adding: 'You've got to be careful of what you say regardless.'
Tom thinks if he had said what he said to Maura on her own, she wouldn't have reacted with anger (Picture: ITV)
Tom got told.
Holly recently revealed that she knew Tom when he was just 12 years old, which probably explains why she looked so comfortable scolding him.
The TV presenter explained that they crossed paths over 10 years ago when she was working on a children's TV series between 2004 and 2006.
'I was doing Saturday morning Ministry of Mayhem and your dad was our director at the time,' she told him previously.
'I remember your dad and I remember bringing the boys in.'
Tom, who was just 12-years-old when he met Holly, replied: 'We'd come in every week and watch you do your thing, it was really good.'

Marblehead Awards Six Scholarships
Posted by Arthur Schwartz on Jul 10, 2019
Christine Sloss will be heading to Suffolk University in the fall. A class leader at Marblehead High, Sloss embraced her commitment to community service. She is the President of the Marblehead High School Interact Club (Rotary Club at the High School level) and is working as a coordinator for all the North America Interact Clubs in a new, joint Rotary and UNICEF program, called the Initiative Interchange, to raise money for universal education. This summer, Sloss organized a Rotary service trip to Nepal to help deliver physical therapy to injured survivors of the earthquake that devastated the country in 2015. Sloss plans to continue her education in public administration, urban planning, and environmental sustainability.
Christopher Gally will be attending Bowdoin College in September. During his tenure at Marblehead High, Gally was a three-sport athlete and the quarterback of the successful football team. One of his teachers called him the epitome of a student-athlete; a quiet leader who inspires others through his example. Gally is a member of the National Honor Society and is an Assisting Minister and Acolyte at his church.
Charles Leveroni will be going to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) this coming September. Inducted into the National Honor Society in October 2018, Leveroni is most proud of being the lead instructor for Waterville Valley Adaptive Sports. In that role, Leveroni tought skiing to children and adults with some form of cognitive and or physical disability. Leveroni plans to study Mechanical Engineering in college, and he believes that his involvement with adaptive skiing, motivated this interest.
Tamelle Platt is the fifth annual recipient of the Donald Humphreys Memorial Rotary Scholarship. He will be heading to either Morehouse, Johnson & Wales or the University of Virginia to pursue his interest in Criminal Justice & Forensic Toxicology. An active member of Marblehead High, Platt played on the varsity football team, was a member of the Peer Mentor Program and demonstrated leadership by organizing a peaceful student demonstration to advance understanding of social issues. Platt's grandfather served honorably in the United States Navy. Platt and his grandfather were very close, and his grandfather had a strong motivating influence in his life, particularly in Platt's early high school years. Unfortunately, in 2018, his grandfather tragically passed-away, and it is for this reason, Platt applied for and was awarded this year's Donald Humphreys Scholarship recipient in honor of his grandfather.
The Marblehead Rotary Club awarded this year's four-year Randolph E. and Barbara K. Goodwin Memorial Scholarship to Laura Kerr. Kerr plans to enroll at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell this September and intends to pursue a degree in Chemical or Biomedical Engineering. She is currently a member of the National Honor Society and is a three-sport athlete in cross-country, basketball, and softball. She is also very active in the community, serving as a tutor for middle and high school students in both math, biology, and chemistry.
Alix Livermore will be heading to either Occidental College or UCLA this coming September. An honors student and leader at Marblehead High School, Livermore was the 2019 Salutatorian and Vice President of the student council. Of particular interest to Livermore was her involvement in Marblehead High's peer mediation program. Because of her strong belief in addressing the problems of climate change, Livermore plans to major in either Environmental Science or Biology, which will allow her to make contributions to better our environment.
Rotary District 7930 is made up of 47 Rotary Clubs and 1648 members serving the communities of Northeastern Massachusetts and Salem, New Hampshire.

L'Oréal shares rose slightly on Friday after fourth quarter sales figures from the world's biggest beauty company beat forecasts.
L'Oréal shares were up 0.8% by 0805 GMT.
Late on Thursday, Lancome-owner L'Oréal said strong Chinese demand for luxury skin creams had helped it beat sales forecasts in the fourth quarter.
Sales rose 2.8% in that division on a like-for-like basis in the fourth quarter, which strips out currency effects and acquisitions, up from 2.3% a quarter earlier.
For 2018 as a whole, operating profit rose 5.3% to €4.7 billion ($5.3 billion), giving a margin of 18.3% of sales, up from 18% at the end of 2017.
"In a beauty market that accelerated significantly in 2018, L'Oréal marked its best year of growth since 2007, at +7.1%, following a strong fourth-quarter increase of +7.7%," said chief executive Jean-Paul Agon.
Earnings per share rose 6.5% to €7.08.
"Overall, the results were ahead of expectations on Q4 top-line, but below on H2 margins and earnings per share growth," wrote Andrew Wood, an analyst at brokerage Bernstein.

Malaysia Airlines B772 Missing Enroute KUL-PEK Part 68
jcxroberts
RE: Malaysia Airlines B772 Missing Enroute KUL-PEK Part 68
The pilot's odd double transmission (MH370 remaining in flight altitude 350) seems consistent with the onset of undiagnosed hypoxia as does his final transmission.
dtw2hyd
Quoting BaconButty (Reply 14):
absolutely fascinating stuff. Makes Duncan Steels mob look a little silly.
We are at a stage Malaysia might as well put a spare T7 on a Chinese cargo ship and drop where they want. Until we see some physical evidence, every report should be filed under BS category. Doesn't matter how well it is presented.
7BOEING7
Quoting WarrenPlatts (Reply 46):
then it would stay on the same GC track for another 1200 nm after passing RUNUT;
if it's going POVUS to RUNUT, if you put in RUNUT/-1200 that would be the same point as POVUS. If RUNUT was the last waypoint you can't do an along track waypoint that is beyond RUNUT, you could do RUNUT/180/1000 after RUNUT which would take you to a point 1000nm south of RUNUT
Also, is there a limit to how far away a waypoint can be? E.g., could a pilot over the Indian Ocean select a waypoint in Argentina, for example?
No. In the Puget Sound area we used a waypoint TOU most of the time, which in our case stood for Tatoosh. Depending on the data base if we chose the wrong TOU we'd be on our way to Tolouse, in which case we'd get a message indicating we didn't have enough fuel.
LTC8K6
I have no idea why they decided to say it was probably a depressurization. There's really nothing to indicate that at all.
Now we have the media basically announcing that the cause of the incident has been found...
Quoting LTC8K6 (Reply 53):
Because to suggest an autopilot flight for well over 5 hours, AND to remain NEUTRAL, they had to at least imply an unresponsive crew. Had that implication NOT been made, then there is only one thing that could be inferred... an intentional act.
Hypoxia in merely a representation of one possible scenario that would allow for their autopilot theory to be possible.
Note well that they never mention the possibility of a 'lost' crew. Keep in mind that they also stated that the the a/c was functioning perfectly (thus their assumptions), aside from comms.
WingedMigrator
I have no idea why they decided to say it was probably a depressurization.
I have no idea where you got this third-hand information. The report theorized hypoxia (which encompasses all possible root causes of an oxygen-poor environment, one of which is depressurization) for the sole purpose of defining an underwater search area.
Quoting WingedMigrator (Reply 55):
I think his point was that in supplying for us a hypoxia scenario, they also are endorsing it (they say this bluntly, hence their assumptions). To an ill-informed media, this seems to suggest something 'accidental'.
Of course, they have a clear disclaimer stated, but this tends to escape the headline seekers.
It is interesting, however, that they give no mention to a scenario where a crew member CHOOSES to be unresponsive.
If you're going to float hypoxia, is it not also fair to float intentional, just to balanced? I suppose there were a great many legal considerations that precluded them from even mentioning this.
Finn350
Quoting dtw2hyd (Reply 51):
Quoting sipadan (Reply 54):
It is very logical to think that everybody was incapacitated due to hypoxia. The depressurization can be either intentional or accidental, and they don't draw (and they don't have to draw) any conclusions on the cause of the depressurization.
Quoting tailskid (Reply 48):
This generates another line of position, that intersects the 7th arc only in two places.
My prediction would be to look at the point where the A/C would be expected to run out of fuel on a southbound great circle course from POVUS.
The performance bound boundaries define just the boundaries beyond which the plane cannot have flown. The intersection points don't have any special meaning as one doesn't know where the plane turned south.
Quoting Finn350 (Reply 57):
I agree that this is logical. However, IF you subscribe to an intentional act, as I do, it is also logical to believe that not everybody was incapacitated, or at least not at the same time.
In fact, it's quite illogical to believe that Zaharie himself was incapacitated at the beginning of that leg of the flight,
However, IF you subscribe to an intentional act, as I do, it is also logical to believe that not everybody was incapacitated, or at least not at the same time.
I fully agree on that. Even the report implies somebody most likely re-configured aircraft electric buses at 1825 Z (SATCOM device booting up), turned south a few minutes later and set up auto-pilot. After that the report assumes no further human intervention.
65mustang
If you can't see that the Malaysians are engaged in a campaign of deception and obfuscation, I really don't know what to tell you. Their behavior certainly suggests many possibilities. I suggest tilting your orientation to 'nefarious' and hypothesizing from that premise.
There is something nefarious going on.

MH370 inquiry puzzles over initial satcom message
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/art...ver-initial-satcom-message-400804/
Sorry if this gas already been covered in previous posts.
I thought the first handshake was always labeled as a "turn" because the turn was what supposedly generated the handshake?
It was even called a "sharp" turn because it caused the need for a handshake due to loss of the SAT com link during the turn?
What am I missing or mis-remembering?
Are they now saying the first handshake was due to a loss of power to the SAT com system on the plane?
Buyantukhaa
The sharp turn was thought to correspond with one point in the following diagram:
The turn did not trigger a handshake most likely. There is a mismatch between prediction and measurement there, and that is also the longest gap in communications between MH370 and the satellite. So something interesting must have happened there, but what?
I scratch my head, therefore I am.
Yes, the report says that #1 and #7 were initiated by the aircraft and that both were likely due to power loss.
"1st and 7th handshakes
The 1825 and 0019 SATCOM handshakes were log-on requests initiated by the aircraft. A log-on request in the middle of a flight is not common and can occur for only a few reasons. These include a power interruption to the aircraft satellite data unit (SDU), a software failure, loss of critical systems providing input to the SDU or a loss of the link due to aircraft attitude. An analysis was performed which determined that the characteristics and timing of the logon requests were best matched as resulting from power interruption to the SDU.
Approximately 90 seconds after the 1825 log-on request, communications from the IFE (In Flight Entertainment) system on the aircraft were recorded in the SATCOM log. Similar messages would be expected after the 00:19 logon request, however none were received. This could indicate a complete loss of generated electrical power shortly after the 7th handshake."
Quoting BuyantUkhaa (Reply 64):
The turn did not trigger a handshake most likely.
Yeah, it seems odd to me now.
This is the first I have heard of the #1 handshake being initiated by the airplane.
I have followed this thing closely. Don't know how I missed that.
What happened at that time is a very good question.
After reading a lot in the threads since the accident i need to submit a question or comment here.
Have the flight envelope been reconstructed according to known radar data and as per known satcom hand shake timings etc? I mean it should be possible to reconstruct the whole flight in real with a identical 777 to match the satcom data timings and so forth to get a pretty accurate point of crash. I'm an amature in the aviation world as you might understand but do have a lot of experience in the marine sector which has it similarities.
A real equipment reconstruction adjusted to match the known data would in my mind be the only way to get a clue of what has happened here. Has this been done!?
Fredrik Hageberg
Quoting leeloo (Reply 67):
I mean it should be possible to reconstruct the whole flight in real with a identical 777 to match the satcom data timings and so forth to get a pretty accurate point of crash.
That's not really possible if you think about it. We don't know the route the plane took very accurately, except for the first part, up to IGARI.
No one is going to risk actually flying a 777 into the SIO in the manner that 9M-MRO flew.
Besides, if they could reconstruct the flight well enough to fly the route with another 777, then they really wouldn't need to actually fly the route.
Inmarsat did use other planes and other flights to compare data.
To experience a power interruption sufficiently long to generate a log on request, it was considered that a loss of both AC buses or, a disabling of the automatic switching, would be required.
So what caused that first log on request from the airplane?
Well, we do not know the path of the flight but we do know the data from the satcom etc. If several test and reconstruction flights were to be done (various altitudes, speeds etc) and adjusted to match (in real time) the data from MH370 i think there would be a better understanding of the flight envelope and eventually a more precise point of crash to be found. I don't see any safety issues with a reconstruction if it's done in a good way, in sections of the flight or similar to get the range needed.
With all due respect, computer simulations and calculations might be the way in todays investigations but if I was a part of the investigation team i would for sure ask Boeing/MH for an identical piece of equipment and start to reconstruct the envelope together with Inmarsat and their data.
Just wanted to make an input!
The earlier SDU log on request at 18:25 UTC was also considered likely to have been due to a power interruption. As this power interruption was not due to engine-flame outs, it is possible that it was due to manual switching of the electrical system. Therefore it is possible that the aircraft's electrical configuration was not in the normal state (i.e. the left IDG powering the left AC bus and the right IDG powering the right AC bus) at the time that the first engine flamed-out.
So how did that happen?
Was someone trying to make sure every comm possibility was powered down?
tailskid
The most logical and most accepted scenario is that the Left AC bus was intentionally isolated from it's power source (turned off); the sat transmitter & modem receive their power from the left bus (along with the IFE stuff.) De-powering this bus is something which can be done from the flight deck.
The 8:19 event is assumed to have been caused by a complete loss of power which brought down both AC buses.
Yes, that's what it appears happened. De-powering he left bus would also shut down the flight management computer system for the left seat. It has been theorized that this might have been the main purpose for powering down the bus.
You are far from the first person to suggest that strategy. It's been brought up many times.
If it were possible, or deemed a necessary risk, I'm sure it would have been attempted.
The report clearly states that de-powering just one bus won't cause the SDU to lose power for long enough to generate a re-boot. So, shutting down the left bus will not generate a handshake.
You would have to shut down the bus, and disable the bus switchover system, or shut down both buses.
Only shutting down both buses will interrupt power long enough to trigger an SDU re-boot.
That's under a power failure scenario; in that case the left bus power is provided by the right engine's alternator.
However the left bus can be switched off manually, and in that case the right bus power is not used.
I read that a little differently. You would have to disable the switchover system, and then switch off the left bus.
There could be situations where you might want to manually shut off the left bus and have the auto-switchover occur, yes?
At any rate, how is a hypoxic pilot managing to do all of this unintentionally?
After power became available, the SDU would take approximately 2 minutes and 40 seconds to reach the log on stage
So this puts our initial power interruption that far before the first handshake then?
I'd say >2'40" before the final handshake (> because of the time to power up the APU or deploy the RAT) but in case of the first aircraft-initiated handshake, the power interruption may well have lasted more than an hour. The 2'40" refers to the time after the end of the interruption, not the beginning.
in case of the first aircraft-initiated handshake, the power interruption may well have lasted more than an hour.
Yes, I should have said "at least", I guess.
The power could have been disabled near IGARI, I suppose.
If it was deliberate, that's probably the case.
A useful analogy is that a hypoxic person behaves like a drunk person. Drunk people can perform complex tasks such as driving a motor vehicle, although they will perform them poorly and with errors.
Yes, hypoxia has been discussed a lot.
Who was still alive to power up the SDU at ~18:25 if the pilots were already hypoxic at IGARI?
Personally I'd go with the simpler approach -- both were due to an "airplane attitude" issue (a turn blanking the antenna).
"Approximately 90 seconds after the 1825 log-on request, communications from the IFE (In Flight Entertainment) system on the aircraft were recorded in the SATCOM log."
The fact that the IFE was still operational at 1825 would tend to rule out any of the previous "smoke" scenarios -- turning off the IFE is the fourth step in the checklist. The lack of any scenario that includes smoke also would tend to rule out the catastrophic failure of all the communications systems -- indicating the loss of TCAS was not accidental.

ATSB Report on Search
Excellent report, a breath of fresh air, outstanding clarity and thinking. Clearly leaving some options open, but working scientifically with what they have to refine the search area while keeping an open mind.
Hydrophones
Interesting commentary and analysis in the report (above) on the Curtin University hydrophone signals http://news.curtin.edu.au/media- releases/curtin-researchers-search-acoustic-evidence-mh370/. I was wondering whether it might be worth doing some blind calibration of the hydrophone sensors. For example by creating explosions with similar energy to an A/C impact in set locations and letting the Curtain University analyze them and see how close they get to the actual locations.
It is strange and interesting that according to the report that the Curtain has been refused access to the Chagos based hydrophone data. This makes this line of enquiry very interesting. In any investigation, when you encounter resistance push hard in that direction.
I mentioned the hypoxia while ago, based on my experience of hypoxia and seeing others effected by hypoxia. The insidious nature of hypoxia is that most people don't recognize they are hypoxic and can appear relatively normal, but confidently make mistakes that make no sense to the non-hypoxic observer. For example adding two numbers, they confidently write down the wrong answer. It is possible they turned to the wrong frequency and then even forgot what they needed to do next. Someone mentioned that switching off the transponder was normal, for this part of the flight.
However as others have noted it is though hard to reconcile the hypoxia scenario with a large number of comms becoming inoperative at the same time, but I was wondering whether a lightning strike could take out a lot of these comms and the cabin altitude controls and warnings. I am fully aware that A/C are electrically bonded and designed to absorb lightning strikes without problems. I think I read somewhere that on average every A/C receives about one strike a year. A/C that I have piloted have experienced mid air lightning strikes, and generally you hardly notice it. However, lightning is unpredictable and can leap across internal airspaces, even when the expected path of least resistance would be through the bonded airframe. At least once after a lightning strike another crew member reported that the lightning jumped the airspace inside the A/C and showed me later the exit burn marks. I also have read reports of lightening jumping the air gap in inside boats, (which are also bonded) sometimes causing extensive damage to electrical equipment. Not sure what the weather was at the time, but could a lightning strike, have caused some of the electrical problems with the comms and pressurization and while the crew were distracted dealing these issues they became hypoxic (after about 15 to 20 seconds).
12. If not already implemented maybe an independent cabin air pressure/altitude and warning light and alarm should be positioned in the pax cabin so that cabin crew are alerted immediately and independently if there is a problem with the cabin altitude.
Type of Impact
On the question of whether the A/C impacted the ocean at a high speed or in a controlled ditching. If a controlled ditching was achieved (hence no debris) why didn't the ELTs deploy as they are designed to? The fact they did not deploy points away from a controlled ditching. If the A/C impacted at high speed, there should have been debris with a fairly easily calculated drift distribution. However no debris was found, therefore the A/C either; i) did not break up on impact, or ii) is in a different location, or iii) there was debris but the big ocean effect resulted in it not being found. Most likely explanation is that it was a relatively high speed ditching and the debris was there (and may still be there) but was not found due to enormous size of search area.
Power Off 1st Handshake
Could the handshake be the result of someone (perhaps a pilot or someone with expertise) trying to achieve something in the electronics bay?

Hi hi,
Source:ATSB
Thanks for the pic... even though seen many times, worth a re-look once in a while...
Got a query, if anyone can help explain....
The ping rings are mostly one hour apart, yet appear to be of different distances apart....does this mean
(a) speed is not constant, and in later hours, appear to speed up significantly? or
(b) if speed is constant, then direction is not constant, implying someone was navigating it till the end?
(i) if we assume both direction and speed is constant, then taking the distance from the 19:41 ring to the 20:41 ring, and from the 20:41 ring to the 21:41 ring, can we solve for direction and speed? (sorta like simultaneous equations?);
(ii) conversely, assuming constant speed, can we map the direction changes based on minimum speed between the 21:41 ring and the 22:41 ring? [perpendicular to tangent on 21:41 ring straight out to the 22:41 ring would be minimum distance covered in one hour, giving minimum speed?]
Thanks in advance..
you would have to disable the switchover system, and then switch off the left bus.
There is no way to "disable the switchover system." But the left bus can be isolated from any power source. This might be necessary in the case of an electrical fire.
IMO Zaharie did this intentionally.

The ELT's are meant to deploy during a significant crash on land, a controlled ditching would not necessarily cause this and they are not designed to float. A high speed crash could have deployed them but they would probably have sunk with the airplane like AF.
Quoting 7BOEING7 (Reply 82):
The ATSB full report states (page 21) regarding both the 1825 Z and 0019 Z logon requests that "An analysis was performed which determined that the characteristics and timing of the logon requests were best matched as resulting from power interruption to the SDU."
Quoting smallRED (Reply 84):
No the satellite is nominally stationary, so even a straight line will have this effect, once past the closest approach point or tangent.
Other factors that might alter the course, are the winds e.g. the effect of jet stream on the A/C, if say the A/P was in HDG mode. The jet stream goes from west to east down there, and get be over a 100kts. But it varies in width etc, so not sure if that would account for it. I think taken into account already by ATSB.
Another factor that could alter the course could be changes in magnetic variation maps and see how operating in magnetic HDG mode would effect the flight path. I think also taken account of by ATSB and others here.
Also in HDG mode rhumbline differs from great circle track.
One comment on the interruption being caused by a turn, is that this conclusion was reached so early in the analysis, before other possibilities could be reasonably ruled out. This raises an amber flag for me. Why assume a turn, when there are other possibilities? Just something to keep in mind.
So in the quote below, the report is talking about a failure of the switchover system then? Not someone turning it off?
What happens if you do a controlled ditching with the passengers and cabin crew still alive? Seems like that's very unlikely. There are several portable ELT's, plus the ELT's with the rafts. Someone is likely to deploy one of those.
Backseater
It is definitely a challenging search problem. Even on land, T7s are sometimes hard to find!
If both engines fail, the APU will provide power after it has started up. However it is not instantaneous as would be a switchover from left vs right alternators. It takes time to start up and stabilize itself. Then there may be other delays associated with a cold start of the modem. All in all they expect a 2:40 delay before a logon attempt after multiple engine failure and APU startup.
Quoting 7BOEING7 (Reply 82):Personally I'd go with the simpler approach -- both were due to an "airplane attitude" issue (a turn blanking the antenna).
That's their best educated guess, I have mine -- time will tell.
Quoting LTC8K6 (Reply 76):you would have to disable the switchover system, and then switch off the left bus.
By putting the left BUS TIE switch to Isolation and turning off the left GEN switch you depower the left AC bus. The only checklist these switches are used on relate to either recovering a bus failure or a generator failure -- they are not on any electrical fire checklist, there is none specifically.
By putting the left BUS TIE switch to Isolation
Thanks. It would have been easier if they had written it that way in the report.
Mystery of MH370 wouldn't have been a mystery.
However, if multiple engine failure is caused by fuel starvation one wonders how much fuel would be available to run the APU and for how long?????
Quoting 7BOEING7 (Reply 95):By putting the left BUS TIE switch to Isolation
Then they would have had to explain WHY???? it was switched.

If the aircraft was flying straight, and at a constant speed, but not flying directly towards or away from the satellite, you'd get different distances between the equal-time spaced rings.
That being said, you can use other knowledge to maybe construct possible courses.
It's actually pretty easy if direction and speed are constant. In that case, you know the aircraft has to be traveling in a direction where if crosses a pair of rings in the required time. If a pair of rings is 100mi apart, for example, and the aircraft is going straight at 500mph, it needs to be traveling at roughly a 12 degree angle relative to the (tangent of the) rings at the point where it crosses them. Of course that could still be on any point of the ring. Then you toss in a second pair of rings, with the same calculation, and find the points where a single straight, constant speed course allows both pairs of ring crossings.
If speed and direction vary, then it's much more difficult to come up with a precise path. For example, if two rings are very similar in diameter, it *could* mean that the aircraft was traveling nearly tangentially (parallel) to them. Or it could mean it was traveling perpendicular to them, but it went one way for half the time, turned 180 degrees, and flew back the other half of the time. Or it flew circles, or...
You can still factor other things in. For example, if you know a position, and then you have a ring crossing some time after that, it can only be on places on that ring that the aircraft could have flown to from the known position (IOW, if you the plane can't possibly have flown more than 600mph, and the ring crossing happened 40 minutes after the known position, you can rule out any points on the ring more than 400mi from the known position. For example, the 19:41 ping ring extends east well over Africa - we *know* that the aircraft wasn't on the eastern portion of that ring, since there's no way it could have covered that distance by that time. That then further also constrains the position of the next crossings, but fuzziness accumulates.
And factored into all this is that none of these things are known with precision, so there will definitely be error bars on any of these calculations. For example, just not knowing the altitude of the aircraft makes the rings about 20 miles "thick" horizontally. And any uncertainties in the time measurement (every microsecond of slop adds ~1000ft of uncertainty), or any uncertainties in the position or motion of the satellite, will add to it, etc.
Still, I think the working assumption is that a large segment of the flight *was* in roughly a straight line (and remember straight lines on globes are only occasionally straight lines on flat maps!) and at a constant speed, which is where the search areas are coming from.
if multiple engine failure is caused by fuel starvation one wonders how much fuel would be available to run the APU and for how long?????
We can make a pretty good guess with the available data. It must have run for the predicted 2 minutes 40 seconds and then it got 9 seconds into the login before it died.
So it ran for about three minutes.

For two minutes you understood what the hype was about, and then it was gone and you were left to go about your day.
That's pretty much the summation of my experience traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, for Monday's historic solar eclipse: a sublime two minutes that felt like exactly what you wanted but still impossibly short.
I was sent by my editors to chase the eclipse in Nashville predominately because it was the most convenient locale in the path of totality (the 70-mile wide stretch in which the moon completely covers the sun) logistically, but conveniently it also may have been the liveliest major city along the path.
Not only was it solar eclipse weekend, but it was move-in for the 12,000-plus students at Vanderbilt University and their families and the first preseason home game for the Tennessee Titans.
Based on conversations with locals, it seemed like most of them were excited for the Titans game than the solar eclipse. Most businesses had signs saying they would be closed for a 20-minute period around when the totality was occurring, but it didn't seem like anything was shutting down for much longer than that.
The traffic I experienced was heavy, but not crippling as some expected for such a big event. It probably helped that the path was so wide and many out-of-town travelers were able to stay in exurbs of Nashville proper.
Those out-of-towners I talked to were, perhaps obviously, more excited.
Nashville mayor Megan Barry told the local Tennessean newspaper that close to a million people came to the area for the eclipse. On the day of, I headed to a farm just northwest of downtown in the small town of Joelton for a better viewing experience and met a larger number of those travelers like me.
There were people that traveled from Minnesota, hauling specialty camera equipment in order to capture the phenomenon. There was a young couple from San Jose, California, who decided to come to Nashville to avoid the California crowds that went to the path of totality in Oregon.
I was even told by the owners of Hachland Hill retreat, where I watched the eclipse, that a group of Canadians showed up at the front gate that morning asking to watch despite not buying a ticket for the event in advance (after some negotiation, I was told they were welcomed to the party).
But most of the people in attendance were simply locals from Nashville who took the day off of work to view the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
While the build up wasn't perhaps the moon mania I had expected, the two minutes of pure darkness themselves certainly lived up to the hype.
The feeling of being surrounded by sunset like purples and pinks instead of the one side like a typical dusk was beautiful but disconcerting. The insects increased their chorus to dusk levels almost immediately and lightning bugs emerged from the trees around the field.
While you understand on a higher level what's going on, everyone I talked to afterward said they did feel a bit destabilized on some instinctual level by the sudden disappearing of the sun. As if your internal clock just got thrown for a loop.
For those two minutes you understood why people chase these kinds of events around the world.
But then, it was kind of just... over.
I mean, clearly it's not as if the sun was going to be trapped behind the moon forever, but the crowd of more than 300 people around me breathed a palpable "what now."
There was, at the event I attended, an after-party with eclipse-themed foods, a band, and a live painting of the eclipse that was later auctioned. But many people that came for the viewing slipped out soon after.
I even heard that the Canadians slipped away to make it a few miles along their long trip home.
In the end, I understood why the event was so special - those two minutes are something I will remember for the rest of my life - but I also understood why for most of the travelers I talked to this was part of a bigger trip. To experience Nashville, to go on a late summer road trip with the family, it seemed the eclipse was the focal point of the travel but not the singular reason.
But hey, if there's a better excuse to get to a part of the country you've never visited before (and I highly recommend visiting Nashville), than a historic scientific phenomenon, I don't know one.

Stringer out to lift ahead of AFL finals
Western Bulldogs young gun Jake Stringer is learning to deal with more attention - both on and off the AFL field.
Since returning from a shoulder injury in round 19, Stringer has been well below his best.
The star forward, who was named in last year's All-Australian side, kicked only one goal against each of Collingwood, North Melbourne and Geelong.
Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton recently criticised the 22-year-old for wanting to "play his footy without suffering any body punishment" and pulling out of contests.
"Dermy was an amazing player and if anyone has got the credits on the board to make that judgment, it's probably him," Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said.
"Derm's opinion really matters, (but) whether Jake's read that I don't know.
"Whether or not he sees it as accurate, I don't know.
"That commentary is always going to be there and it's just something our players need to deal with."
Beveridge added there is no doubt the Bulldogs are searching for Stringer's best form, with just two games to play before finals.
"All we can worry about is looking at Jake's game and looking at the areas of improvement and honing in on his strengths to bring the best out of him," he said.
"He's a really young player. He's an All-Australian in the very early stages of his career, so what happens from week to week is that he gets a lot attention.
"He'll be the first to admit he needs to get a bit more out of himself."
Beveridge could understand if Stringer felt restricted by his shoulder injury against the Cats but said that is no longer an excuse.
The seventh-placed Bulldogs face Essendon at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
