The Scott Expedition: Looking Up (Day 11)
We cranked out 16.4km (10.2miles) today, which we're pretty happy with, and I can tell you that dragging two-and-a-half times your body weight for seven hours is a bit of a workout.

The Scott Expedition: One Week In
On our seventh day on the ice, things are finally looking up. We had a freezing, miserable morning with a soft, sticky surface that slowed us to a crawl, and a biting windchill that seemed determined to freeze our fingers, toes and faces.

The Scott Expedition: An introduction
I am currently preparing for the biggest expedition of his life – and arguably one of the most ambitious in polar history. An 1800 mile (2,900km) unsupported return journey from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back on foot. Known as the Scott Expedition, it will be the longest unsupported polar journey in history and first completion of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's iconic 1910-12 Terra Nova expedition.

Learning Article : False Friends In French: Watch Out For These Words

False Friends In French: Watch Out For These Words
"False friends" or "faux amis" are words that look alike but mean, at best, vaguely related things or, at worst, entirely different ones. I will now give you a list to use very carefully, or avoid entirely, when translating in French. They are all false friends. I've written English and French spellings when words look alike ...
Let me tell you now which word you should use to correctly translate those English words.
- acheive : obtenir, atteindre, réussir
- actually : en fait, à vrai dire
- advertisement : une publicité
- agenda : un ordre du jour
- ancient : antique, très vieux
- argument : une dispute
- bail : une caution
- but : mais
- cap : une casquette (hat) , un bouchon (bottle cap)
- chandelier : un lustre
- coin : une pièce de monnaie
- conductor : un chef d'orchestre
- confectioner : un confiseur de bonbons
- crayon : un crayon de couleur
- delayed : retardé
- envy : envier, convoiter
- fabric : un tissus
- fortunate : chanceux, choyé
- furniture : un meuble, le mobilier
- glass : un verre
- habit : une habitude
- if : si
- injure : blesser
- issue : un problème
- journey : un voyage, un trajet
- lecture : une conférence, sermoner
- library : une bibliothèque
- location : un emplacement
- note (as in bank note) : un billet de banque
- piece : un morceau
- part : une partie
- plume : un bouquet (a handful), une trainée (of smoke)
- prevent : empêcher
- proper : corect, formel, approprié
- replace : remplacer, changer
- sensible : sage, raisonnable
- store : un magasin, entreposer
- tissue : un mouchoir
Great article! I was thinking about the same thing lately. False friends are confusing even they have related meanings, kinda :)
cent/ cent (hundred)
rose/ rose (pink)
simple/ simple(single)
blank/ blanc (white)
poser/ poser (to ask)
computer/ compter (to count).... it goes on and on like that :)
Between some of the words are even more confusing for me, because my native language has lots of words derived from French (with their exact meanings), so when I was learning English I had a hard time because of that.
For example;
tr fr en
adisyon/ addition/ addition ----adisyon means bill in Turkish so I had to remind myself it doesnt mean bill in English, and now I have to remind myself it means bill in French :) same for;
ajanda/ agenda/ agenda
Well, some words have several meanings, like "cent" in French mean both 100 and ¢ (as in the small unit of dollars). So "Cent cents" = 100¢ or 1 dollar. The same is true for "rose" (It both mean pink and the flower so "une rose rose" = a pink rose) and "simple". I did not include that kind of words because they are false friends only in one of their meanings.
You are right about "poser" and "blank", they are words I totally forgot about!
N'oubliez pas 'Roman'!
And plate/plat. Plate = une assiette. Plat = a dish (content or container) or flat
You can add "mammal" to that list. I thought I was describing bats - mammals that fly - to my friend. Nope. I was raving about flying lady parts.
Lol, Diane! Yes, it's "mamifère" in French! :-D
Tres bon article, merci!
I thought of another false friend: "laid". The French word means ugly. We use it al the time in Quebec (not so much in France where they prefer the word "moche"). When I teach this French word, I usually say "if you are LAID, you don't get LAID" (If you are ugly, you don't get laid). The French word is pronounced "lèh" in the masculine form. "laide, said "lèd" (or like the metal "lead") would be the female counterpart.
Another false friend I heard today : famous/fameux. Fameux means "great" or "known for" (so it's a bit like infamous, but it doesn't have to be negative all the time). We often use in the negative : ce restaurant n'est pas fameux (this restaurant is not great).
You better say "célèbre" or "connu" to translate famous. Ex : Ce restaurant est très connu. (this restarant is very famous) As-tu goûté à sa fameuse tarte ? (Did you try it's signature pie/praised + well known pie?)

BANGALORE: Corporate espionage is on the rise in the country, with the digital medium offering an extremely fertile ground for its perpetuation.
An increasing number of companies are also hiring private detectives to keep tabs on both their employees and business partners. Detective agencies says they are flooded with strange requests from companies to plant spies in rival firms, to fish for confidential data, engineering designs, software codes or to manipulate rate contracts to favour their clients.

The Hillcrest Elementary School building on Addison Boyce Drive in New City. / Mareesa Nicosia/The Journal News
A student enters the auditorium at the Hillcrest Elementary School building Friday, July 19, during a summer education program run by Congregation Avir Yakov of New Square. The East Ramapo school district has been leasing the building to Avir Yakov, which uses it year-round as a girls' school. (Mareesa Nicosia/The Journal News)
NEW CITY — Both the future location of a girls religious school and a revenue source for the East Ramapo school district are up in the air after the state education chief this week annulled the districts lease with the school.
Congregation Avir Yakov has leased the districts Hillcrest Elementary building on Addison Boyce Drive since August 2011 after East Ramapo closed it as a public school in 2010. The 12-acre site has been used as a girls school by the congregation, which is based nearby in the insular Hasidic village of New Square.
The lease was initially for one year at $19,000 per month with an option to extend it up to four years with a 2 percent annual increase. The district included revenue of $228,000 from the building rental in its 2013-14 budget, which doesnt account for any increase.
In upholding an East Ramapo parents petition to nullify the current lease, state Education Commissioner John King Jr. said Tuesday that he found no evidence the Board of Education took reasonable steps to ensure that it was getting the best deal possible in this instance.
The petition, filed by Robert Forrest in September 2011, charged that the school board failed to make a good-faith effort to rent out the school at market value.
Joseph Meyers, a Rockland County legislator and real estate attorney, said Thursday that based on the legal definition of null and void, the commissioners decision makes the Avir Yakov lease cease to exist under the law.
Its different from saying that it is terminated or expired, said Meyers, a Democrat who represents a small section of the East Ramapo school district in Airmont. The school district is immediately obligated to get in touch with the people occupying the space and have them leave the property immediately. They really are in the nature of squatters at this point.
Meyers said though the lease might be renegotiated, normal legal procedure doesnt allow for a tenant to remain on a property while that takes place.
Neither the district nor the congregation have indicated how they plan to proceed in light of the commissioners ruling. Several messages seeking comment were not returned by Schools Superintendent Joel Klein; the districts lawyer, Albert DAgostino; and a lawyer for Avir Yakov, Frederick Berman of New York City.
How the commissioners decision will affect the districts finances is also unclear.
East Ramapo school board President Yehuda Weissmandl said he has been in touch with the districts lawyers about the lease and the board will address it at its next meeting Tuesday.
Well get together as a board and decide how were going to move forward, he said. I dont know what the ramifications of annulling the lease are. Im in real estate and Ive never encountered anything like this.
Jim Wasserman, who lives across the street from the school and whose son attended Hillcrest Elementary in the 1990s, said Avir Yakov has been a good neighbor and hes concerned about the possibility that East Ramapo could lose its tenant.
Id hate to see it just overgrown and nobody in it, he said Friday. If its rented to someone else, at least theyd get something for it. If it sits empty, its just a bust.
On Friday, throngs of girls bustled through the halls of the former public school building as Avir Yakovs private religious summer program went on as usual.
Avir Yakov officials said as many as 600 students attend the all-girls school. During the academic year, kindergarten through 12th-grade classes are held in the building, while only younger girls use it during the summer.
Several Avir Yakov representatives declined to comment about the lease with East Ramapo when reached on the phone.

I feel like I need a stronger word than absurd here. What you're saying is absolutely asinine. You know very well that the ratio of CEO salaries to those of the average worker have shot through the roof in the last two decades. In fact, I'd say that this post of yours is rather hugely condescending. Ironic, huh? I though that was liberal territory? Unless there's a liberal deep down inside you trying to claw it's way out. There's always hope, right?
So what do you consider "balanced" on the graph you just posted? Was it balanced when they were only earning 24 times what others were making?
I'm just asking. Folks through out these nice platitudes and I can't ever think of a time where they were actually occurring.
Perhaps you think it condescending to ask for people to do more than just scream platitudes at other, and you are entitled to you opinion, but when people keep using utopian language, religious overtones, and most especially keep claiming there was some point where it was better and now it i worse, I'm going to keep asking for them to prove the prior utopia before they get to demand and steal to provide the future one.
We should do with that graph exactly what we did with the nice Obama graph. Let's just declare it supports whatever we want it to support without looking at the entire picture or context.
Gee look at the years when things started going wrong. Apparently the civil rights movement and giving 18 year olds the right to vote lead to massive income inequity.

Dossier 23-24: Women in Iran Since 1979
Although all countries are unique, Iran may have claim to more surprising political changes in the past century than any other country existing continuously during that period. Among these changes have been notable alterations in women's roles and status. The birth of urban mass politics during the constitutional revolution of 1906-11 saw women's first political activism, which continued after World War 1, though that independence was eventually much diminished under the new Pahlavi dynasty of Reza Shah (1921-41) (Afary, 1996; Bayat, 1978; Paidar, 1995; Sanasarian, 1982).

Dossier 23-24: (Un)Veiling Feminism
This essay draws on several talks and conversations: Brandeis University, 17 March 1998; Harvard University, 19 November 1998; and American Association of Religion, 23 November 1999. 1 would like to thank the organizers of each event for giving me the opportunity to present these ideas, and other panel participants and the audience for critical comments.

Dossier 22: Communalisation of Muslims in Sri Lanka - An Historical Perspective
The objective of this paper is to provide a historical overview of the processes of communal identity formation in Sri Lanka with special reference to the Muslim community
. Sri Lanka is a multi-ethnic society in which Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and others have coexisted for centuries. However, in more recent times, ethnic relations on the Island have been consistently strained by the rise of communalist politics which have deepened ethnic and religious divides.
Dossier 22: Jihad International Inc.
The violence of Islamism has roused anxious concern throughout the world, especially the Muslim world. In the United States, the media and policy makers wage a campaign to demonize Muslims and Islam as a threat to Western interests and civilization itself. This politically motivated propaganda has been aided by the Islamic resistance to Israel's occupation of Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan, along with such incidents as the plot to blow up New York's World Trade Center.
Dossier 22: The Need for Codification and Reform in Muslim Personal Law in India
The question of Muslim personal law has become not only a question of Muslim identity but also a question with deeper political implications. The Muslim leadership doggedly resist any reform in certain aspects of the law particularly pertaining to marriage and divorce and the Hindu communal leadership would not accept anything short of complete abolition of personal law pertaining to Muslims.
Dossier 22: Pakistan: Religious Intolerance Rides Over Freedoms
ISLAMABAD, Nov 10, [1998] (IPS) - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's attempt to Islamise Pakistan has been checkmated by the imposition of Governor's rule in the troubled Pakistani province of Sindh.
The controversial 15th Constitutional Amendment Bill, popularly called the Shariat Bill, has lost even the slimmest chance of ratification in the Senate, but rights activists who are alarmed by the loss of freedom say the reprieve is at best temporary.
Just last Wednesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made the bill the main plank of a public speech in the mountainous nort
Dossier 22: Post Divorce Maintenance for Muslim Women and the Islamist Discourse
We live in an era where relativism and humanism affect almost every facet of our lives. Not least among these facets is the discourse of Islam vis a vis women's human rights. The importance of such factors as relativism, humanism and gender sensitivity has not come about in a vacuum.

A highway in Knott County was renamed in honor of a chief deputy sheriff who died in the line of duty.
Bristol Taylor of Knott County was killed nearly 40 years ago after being shot four times.
In memory of 29-year-old Bristol Taylor, a portion of Highway 1393 was unveiled with a new name: Deputy Bristol Taylor Memorial Highway.
One sign will be posted here at the intersection of 1393 and 899 and another here at the intersection of 582 stretching across three miles of highway.
The family says it is a road they have driven on all their lives, and they are honored his legacy will be left winding this highway.
"His father helped build this road, and so it's kind of like an ancestor thing. He helped build it, and now it's named for his son," said Fern Taylor, Bristol Taylor's widow.
After all these years, it is obvious Taylor made an impact on Knott County as a law enforcement officer and a veteran.
"It's gonna be so precious, so precious to me," said Fern Taylor.
"The signs up will be a reminder and hopefully everyone will appreciate everything he did," said Knott County Sheriff Dale Richardson.
His mark on the community is now both in their hearts and along a highway in which they travel.
The highway name change was initiated by State Representative John Short and was then approved by the Kentucky General Assembly.

Terrorist watch lists are supposed to flag terrorist suspects. But far from pinpointing actual threats, they are becoming a watchword for database mistakes and information overload.
According to the December 30, 2010 Washington Post, "a single source tip, as long as it is deemed credible, can lead to a name being placed on the watch list."
The National Counterterrorism Center which was created in 2004 to promote intelligence-sharing, evaluation and dissemination maintains the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) system. It has been plagued with crippling technical problems. These include fundamental design flaws that made the data difficult or even impossible to search, its tendency to crash, the fact that "there is no fool proof way to ensure that only good data gets into the TIDE system and unqualified data stays out" and the failure to properly process tens of thousands of "potentially vital CIA messages." According to one official at the Center, a single intelligence agency can receive 8,000 terrorism messages per day involving up to 15,000 names, and it "will be a challenge into perpetuity" for the Center to connect related threat information.
At the time when the name and biographical information of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the would-be "underwear bomber," were deposited in the TIDE system in 2009, it contained some 550,000 identities.
Abdulmutallab's name was never moved to the master terrorist watch list, maintained by the FBI at the Terrorist Screening Center. The Terrorist Screening Database contains over a million names (including aliases) and nearly half a million identities. There are reportedly about 25,000 US citizens and legal permanent residents on the list.
According to the November 1, 2009 Washington Post, the names of 1,600 people are entered into this database every day. They are selected by the FBI for inclusion from the large number forwarded by Terrorist Screening Center partner agencies, including 17 foreign governments and all 72 fusion centers that cull names from "suspicious activity reports." The FBI decides on a daily basis who should be added to the names on the 'no fly' list, which are believed to be within the 5,000 to 8,000 range, or put on a list of about 14,000 names of "selectees" - people targeted for additional, time-consuming, airport screening whenever they attempt to fly.
In January 2012, the Post reported that in the year following the Abudulmutallab mistake the no-fly list grew from about 10,000 to over 20,000 names. Though Bin Laden is dead at US hands, and the CIA claims there are fewer than 100 serious al-Qaida terrorists in the world, the terror-watch lists are exploding in growth. That's partially because agencies began adding names of people not considered threats simply to aviation, but labeled as threats more generally speaking. (If the FBI or DHS have any hand in determining who constitutes a threat, it might be you.)
Stories abound of "misidentification" and other errors in these lists. People with the names "Robert Johnson," "John Williams" and "Gary Smith" endure long delays at airports. Congressman John Lewis and Senator Edward Kennedy both were on a "selectee" list at one time, as was former Clinton administration Assistant Attorney General Jim Robinson, who continued to be singled out at airports in 2008 despite having his top-security clearance renewed in 2007. Even children are apparently on the list. Eight-year-old Mikey Hicks has received special scrutiny at airports since he was two years old, according to the January 13, 2010 New York Times.
How do Americans get on the list? There is some evidence that the "wrong" political views can be a factor: the ACLU successfully represented anti-war activists from Northern California who were targeted at airports. According to The New York Times (April 6, 2010), suspicious activity reports filed by the police and tips called in by the public can lead to "dots" being wrongly connected, as in the case of Erich Scherfen, a Persian Gulf war veteran and pilot who converted to Islam and married a woman who was born in Pakistan. When he removed a broken back seat from his car, a co-worker told the state police that he had "retrofitted the family car to carry bombs."
Getting onto a watch list is a good deal easier than getting off, which might be virtually impossible given the apparent existence of "shadow" lists that continue to flag "suspicious" people even if they are removed from a master list. As many as 80,000 people have tried to clear their names, while reports by the Department of Justice's Inspector General have condemned the huge number of "false positives" and the fact that certain known terrorists have never made it onto the list.
They may not be able to fly, but people on the watch lists can still buy AK-47s and military grade explosives within the United States. A May 2010 report by the Government Accountability Office found that between 2004 and 2010, people on terrorist watch lists were involved in explosives or firearms background checks some 1,225 times. In 91 percent of the cases, they were allowed to make their purchases because they either had no record of felonies or were not illegal immigrants.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is among the Members of Congress who has resisted passing legislation that would prohibit anyone on the terrorist watch lists from buying weapons. In response to the GAO report, he argued that "the watch list has so many problems with it…that I think it's not appropriate to go down the road we're going because a constitutional right is involved" (ABC News, May 5, 2010).
While thousands of Americans find themselves listed as "suspects" in the bloated watchlists, the "constitutional right" to be presumed innocent until proven guilty is given less weight than the right to bear arms.
Critically acclaimed actor Mark Ruffalo has been using his fame to raise awareness about deep drilling for natural gas, or 'fracking'. The procedure is environmentally dangerous, and has hurt communities' drinking water. Ruffalo participated in the 2010 documentary "Gaslands" about the dangerous drilling and the activist resistance to it.
Ruffalo was surprised to learn that his efforts earned him a spot on a TSA terror watchlist, thanks to the Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security, the PA fusion center.
A few months ago a major scandal errupted in Pennsylvania after leaked documents disclosed the nightmarish suppression of dissent coming from a tripartite coalition of private contractors, private industry, and local government. (Here is a PDF version of that "intelligence" briefing.)

The Pennsylvania fusion center outsourced some of its so-called "intelligence" gathering to a private company, the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR), which then spied on local peace, environmental and Black arts organizations and reported their (entirely legal) activity to the fusion center, using terms like "risk assessment" and "terrorism" in its descriptions of their work.
Perhaps most disturbingly, the leaked documents revealed that the fusion center was cooperating with fracking companies, sharing with them information about the non-violent activists organizing to oppose their drilling.
When this hugely embarrassing spying came to light, PA Governor Ed Randell apologized on behalf of the fusion center and said that the state would not renew ITRR's contract, worth over $200,000.
One of the casualties of ITRR's spying on First Amendment protected speech was Mark Ruffalo. But who knows how many more people were also added to terror watch lists simply for speaking their minds? And how will they get off those lists?

Hanover school officials say the high school graduation tonight will be moved indoors because of the weather forecast.
The ceremony, which was scheduled to take place outside on the district grounds, but because of the high chance of rain, the commencement was moved to the high school's auditorium, Superintendent Al Moyer said in an email at 3 p.m. Thursday.
Earlier today, officials in Upper Adams School District decided to move Biglerville High School's graduation indoors.
The Biglerville ceremony, which will still start at 7 p.m., will be held in the high school auditorium which seats 900.
Each of the 122 graduating students was given seven tickets for family and friends. Only those with a ticket will be permitted inside the ceremony.
Once the auditorium is full, spectators will be directed to "overflow rooms," classrooms equipped with monitors for a live-stream of the ceremony, officials said.

Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads, center, leads his team onto the field before football game against TCU at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on Saturday Nov. 9, 2013.
- Filed Under
As is usually the case, there are ample story lines surrounding Iowa State football recruiting from now until National Signing Day on Feb. 5.
The final three weeks leading up to the first Wednesday in February aren't always the busiest, but in the college football-crazed world that we live in, they absolutely garner the most attention as programs look to add finishing touches to their year-long masterpieces.
As of today, Iowa State's 2014 recruiting class consists of 21 prospects that have either verbally committed or already signed (midyear junior college) with the Cyclones. ...

This Data Model Shows MH370 Could Not Have Flown "Accidentally" To Its Destination
None of the plane's paths can be reconciled with a geodesic, meaning the plane took multiple, intentional turns before going dark.
Over the past two weeks, FastCoLabs has been building a Monte Carlo model to predict potential paths of MH370. I wrote about Version 1 last week and after the piece hit Reddit I added a more technical description. Now I've updated and extended the model, using information that wasn't yet available earlier.
Picking Up Where We Left Off
We last left off with a relatively simple Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) model, trying to predict possible flight paths for the missing airliner. I used the plane's previous heading—assuming MH370 tended to along a similar direction as before, with some ability to turn—and the tendency to head to the last ping arc (8:11 am) at each time to probabilistically determine its subsequent locations.
See the post that sparked this discussion here: How I Narrowed Down The Location Of Malaysia Air Using "Monte Carlo" Data Models. Then read our followup entitled More About Our Methodology.
The last ping arc took into account enough distance on either side—through the standard deviation—to effectively cover an area which blanketed the other pings as well [1]. Each new location only depended on the heading of the previous step, while the ping arc probability grid which made the plane tend toward the last ping arc, remained constant.
Results consistently showed, across a range of reasonable variations, that MH370 "chose" the southern arc most frequently and ended off the Australian West Coast, confirming independent Inmarsat Doppler analysis identifying a similar area of ocean nearby:
5% error, normal distribution
Heading Off Criticism
Yet the normal distributions I used for the plane heading, and the probability grid, were still criticized for being, well, too normal. So I implemented two heading choice distributions as well, both quite popular in some circles (unit circles, actually): the Wrapped Cauchy and the Von Mises. Both generated heading selections that were similar and then dramatically different, from how I chose the heading in Version 1.
This project is also available as code: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, and as a full file via GithHub.
I also found the Inmarsat ping error range: a specialty satellite industry blog pointed out a careful calculation on PPRuNe [2], which determined 1º to 2º error. For the last ping, where the satellite was 40º from the plane's perspective, this would mean error of 2.5% or 5% of the total distance between the satellite and the plane, measured by the lag time [3].
Here is one set of the results:
Von Mises, uniform distribution, 5% error
Wrapped Cauchy, quasi-uniform distribution, 5% error
All showed that if MH370 did a true random walk—picking plane headings which wandered any which way, and using just the ping arc to constrain MH370's ultimate location—MH370 ends up all over the arc within its flight range. This was the uniform distribution so vaunted on Reddit, confirming my original intuition on how to not pick the heading.
Desserting The Data Through Cherry-Picking
Next, I wanted all the pings to make my model the Queen of them all. Enough infographics had shown multiple pings, and my error assumptions were accommodating enough, that with some effort in Mathematica, I could now plot all of the plane pings. So each time step would have its own unique ping, instead of ping-ybacking on the generous error assumptions of another ping. I also plotted the Great Circle path from MH370's last known location to where it ended up in all of my models, a standard feature in the Python library I used [4]. Importantly, a Boeing 777 such as MH370 will either fly by magnetic bearing (unlikely just by eyeballing) or alternatively via the Great Circle to maximize fuel efficiency (via distance efficiency) between two waypoints.
Version 1 of the model simultaneously and independently came to the southern route conclusion; now, I wanted to see the complete picture of the flight. All of the plane's possible locations, over the whole duration. I had not yet seen modeled, let alone guesstimated with specific scenarios in mind.
The National Transportation and Safety Board provided Australia with few possible paths to aid in the search, in a reserved or miserly manner, depending on your perspective. Malaysia, in turn, has released its own few paths; but none of them appeared to plot the pings arcs to see whether these paths were actually possible, let alone showing them in the plot.
Now, it was time to generate thousands of paths. Our simulation would be the ultimate pathfinder (sorry, Nissan!) No more cherry-picking several fortunate few. This would be equal opportunity, Monte Carlo style, which would lead to unequal outcomes [5] in a fraction of the time and expense of the traditional way you can narrow down potential paths of MH370.
Reconstructing The Pings, And Why This Is Right (On Average)
Several quick points about accuracy:
- The error I assume in each ping is still generous; the standard deviation is 2.5% and 5% of the last ping's radius arc—which is more than the distance differences between the pings. So I am allowing for as much wiggle room as possible in terms of how I pick where the pings are; and then some.
- Even if the ping timings between the first ping and the last ping are not exact in an absolute sense, they certainly are in an average sense. Which means that using the plane's ultimate location on the arc, as the end point for the Great Circle, is a sound strategy.
- Looking at where the plane is plotted over time, the conclusions are plain to see—there is just not enough wiggle room to adjust the ping spacings in a way that allow for a flight path which does not make turns contrary to what an autopilot would automatically pick.
MH370 Flight Trajectory Through All Pings
So, here are the results, with the realistic normal heading assumption of Version 1 along with the realistic options in Version 2 for Wrapped Cauchy [6] and Von Mises:
normal distribution, 5% error
normal distribution 2.5% error
Von Mises distribution, 5% error
Von Mises distribution, 2.5% error
Wrapped Cauchy distribution, 5% error
Wrapped Cauchy distribution, 2.5% error
Autopilot Analysis
Through many thousands of simulations of various parameters specific to MH370's predicament, we now have a much better idea of what MH370's flight paths could be. My model shows likelihoods for MH370, not a definitive location. Is it possible that what is most likely is not in fact the case? Yes, of course, but the very notion of a Monte Carlo is predicated on the odds, meaning this analysis comes with an unfortunate realization—even if you don't want a scenario to be true, if all of the available information points to that, then it is the likely leading outcome.
What does this all mean? Autopilot is out of options. You see, here is the simple problem—none of the possible paths can be reconciled with a geodesic (Great Circle) which means that the plane turned at multiple points. How could it turn? Well, the plane was "flown" to its final location—either manually by a human, or by a program entered into the flight management system. These results strongly suggest that wherever MH370 is, the odds are that someone wanted it there.
Inmarsat Ping Timeline Table
2:11 am — First ping.
2:15 am — Last sighting of MH370 by Malaysia military radar.
3:11 am — Second ping. First ping after plane disappeared [7].
4:11 am — Third ping.
5:11 am — Fourth ping.
6:11 am — Fifth ping.
7:11 am — Sixth ping.
8:11 am — Seventh ping. Last full ping from MH370. (What earlier was thought of as the 5 th ping after disappearance, but is actually the 6th ping.)
8:19 am — Partial ping?! (Still not understood.)
Source: MH370 Article, Wikipedia.
Additional Note: TMF Associates blog, with insightful previous analysis, references a different set of aperiodic ping times from 2:11 am and 8:11 am, and an MH370 radar disappearance at 2:22 am, inferred from Inmarsat Doppler analysis. These are at odds with the Wikipedia timeline. I use the hourly pings for simplicity's sake. The 2.5-5% error more than accounts for any timing discrepancies.
[1] 5%, 10%, and 20% of the distance from the last ping arc to the Inmarsat geostationary satellite, a coarse way to account for all pings with just the last one.
[2] Professional Pilots Rumor Network. No, I am not making this up !
[3] I was modeling 5%, 10%, and 20%, and trying to encompass multiple pings in that breadth, which wasn't bad but could be improved on.
[4] Matplotlib Basemap. "You know you want it!"
[5] Probably a libertarian's dream.
[6] Note that using a Wrapped Cauchy distribution splits roughly even-steven north and south; all of my other results show southern tendencies.
[7] Below 1 hour; accounted for in my model.

Where your calculations fall apart is that on 24 June 2014 Angus Houston declared in an interview with the Malaysian Chronicle that after studying tapes of the civil radar tracking when MH370 disappeared just past IGARI, investigators concluded MH370 never climbed to 45,000ft, turned back west and dived to below 23,000ft.
In other words the flight west through the Straits of Malacca never happened.
Thai radar at Surat Thani never could have seen MH370 flying low over Kota Bharu because of the curvature of the Earth. Radar at Surat Thani could not see any aircraft over Kota Bharu flying below 37,000ft.
The problem is all your calculations are all formed on an assumption that MH370 flew through the Straits of Malacca.
All the cummulative vector additions which you have used to string together BOF satellite data start from north of Acheh around 18:25 UTC.
The flaw in your calculations is whether MH370 was even in the Straits because all your tracking effort starts from above Aceh?
Here's the real problem with your tracks Conor. From 19:40 UTC the BOF chart shows a relatively steady velocity towards INMARSAT (albeit probably obliquely)
Your plot from Aceh to the Southern Arc exhibits a steady velocity away from INMARSAT.
That is an inconvenient fact which you can't reconcile.
Well, the one point you fail to include in the gee-whiz modelling is the effects of varying Winds and Temperatures Aloft at different altitudes through its entire flight path, also, the slightest change in outside air temperature would have affected the aircraft's True Airspeed . . . All of the above would have certainly affected the aircraft's Ground Speed. Oh, forgot to mention, varying thrust at various altitudes or the point the aircraft had no thrust, from fuel exhaustion to point of contact with the surface -and what was the aircraft's speed, upon contact with the surface, did it skip along the surface for another few kilometres? Too many variables that you have not considered in your model.
A commendable effort by you. Btw, there is another prediction that can be factored in, sightings claims by a british couple sailing from india to phuket and the sightings by some villagers in maldives. its a long shot but wud be interesting to compare the outcome with those already done by you.
reagrds, firstname.lastname@example.com
That silly woman on her yacht is just an attention seeker. Anybody who knows didley squat about aviation understands an aluminium aircraft can't fly for 7 hours with a wing on fire.
You should study the famous crash of the second prototype B-29 bomber in WW2 when an engine caught fire. Within a matter of minutes the heat melted and buckle the Aluminum wing spar until the wing dropped off.
Aluminium aircraft cannot fly for hour after hour on fire.
Plot in known military landing fields in the Northern areas ignoring the "it didn't fly over us " responses and see where it leads
You say the northern route is less likely - could a skilled pilot and/or engineer fly the plane in such a way that makes the final destination appear to be the least likely when looking at the data?
Perhaps whoever did this knew about the pings that could not be turned off, and planned for it.
I think that would be hard to pull off, as it's hard to imagine that whoever would do that, would know about reconstructing Inmarsat satellite pings (which you can't turn off). This is the first time these techniques have really been used. However, your broader point of, "well, could a less likely scenario like the northern route be possible", is, "absolutely!" But I would say it's still not as likely as the southern route. Especially when you take into account Doppler analysis from Inmarsat, which we at FastCo Labs did not did not use in this model.
What is your opinion of the following op-ed?
I am very curious to know how you can say that the Southern route is more probable given the few data points that exist. Are you not biased in your opinion based on faith in Inmarsat saying that this is the case?
I must commend you on your work. I think your assumptions are conservative. I wonder if you are able to add possible primary radar detection as well as eliminate TCAS detection by other aircraft, if there where any. I also wonder if satellite are able to detect contor trails or heat signatures of images taking during the flight?
I must commend you on your work. I think your assumptions are conservative. I don't think you have mentioned drift and the resulting track given the last know heading. I wonder if you are able to add possible primary radar detection as well as eliminate TCAS detection by other aircraft, if there where any. I also wonder if satellite are able to detect contor trails or heat signatures of images?
Actually, two flaws: 1) the time of the comms events (there are only 4 evenly spaced events 19:40-22:40UTC) and 2) the B777 Autopilot Flight Director System can fly the aircraft on a fixed heading selection. Very interesting approach when there's so little else to go on. Also, have you a confirmed source for the routing taken from the initial deviation from plan at IGARI across to & around the north of Sumatra, I can't find anything other than some very casual, later retracted, comments by Rodzali Daud and some equally casual depictions of tracks presented at the family briefings.
There is one unfortunate flaw in your analysis -- that the pings occurred at regular intervals (2:11, 3:11, 4:11, ..., 8:11). They did not. And as far as I know, the NTSB has not released the true satellite-to-aircraft ping ranges for anything other than that 8:11 ping (though I certainly wish they would). I'd like to believe that there are plenty of talented and competent scientists/engineers double-checking each other's work, but without the raw timing and frequency data there is no way for us to know.
That's a fair point to mention, and I address this at the bottom of this article, and also in my IPython notebook.
Yet for each of my pings, I use 2.5-5% radius of the last ping for my error. So it's a generous error assumption for each ping, whose distance exceeds that of the adjacent pings.
Since each ping arc's probability space already encompasses other pings due to the error I assume, and the results are still the drift to the West, I felt confident to come to the conclusion that autopilot wasn't possible in any reasonable scenario.
Do you think they will find the plane?
Hard to say. Limiting factor, which would give some inference as to likelihood, is how much ocean the black box detectors can cover in the next week to week and a half. After that, the plane will be much harder to locate.

BBC News provides an excellent overview of what's at stake in Tuesday's two-part referendum concerning Puerto Rico's future political status:
"The first asks voters whether they want to keep the island's current status.
The second asks whether they would prefer independence, US statehood, or an option known as 'sovereign free association' with the US that would grant the island more autonomy.
This will be the fourth such vote in 45 years. The others failed."
A slim majority of islanders will likely vote yes to the first question, while the statehood and the free association options are expected to tie in the second question. Independence — the option I support — is favored by less than five percent of the population.
Ideally, the people of Puerto Rico would voice a resounding no to the first question, so that no matter what the result of the second question turns out to be, the people of Puerto Rico, the United States and the world at large will know that a change in the relationship between the mainland and the island is long overdue.
The relationship is a harmful one for the island. The Great Recession hit the island's economy especially hard — last year the island's debt $68 billion and unemployment was as high as 13 percent.
"Because we're a colony, we have the misfortune of being first for federal cuts and last in line for handouts," said Thomas Rivera Schätz, president of the Puerto Rican Senate. "We don't want to continue being a colony. We want the full rights that we're entitled to as American citizens."
Puerto Rican Independence Party President Fernando Martín García described the U.S.-Puerto Rico relationship as "an accident of history" and compared the island's situation to that of Scotland and Catalonia.
"What we have in common is that we are nations without a state," Martín said. "The difference is that they are integral parts of the larger countries they belong to; they aren't colonies. In our case, the government of another country makes decisions every day without the participation of Puerto Ricans."
The right to representative government is laid out in both the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights and our own Declaration of Independence. The people of Puerto Rico, as human beings and so-called Americans, deserve the right to self-government, if not through independence, then at least through statehood or free association. If Puerto Ricans are not afforded to right to choose their president and elect representatives to Congress, then it's a sham and shame to label them "Americans."
I would hope that the people of the United States have greater respect for citizenship than that.

Vicki Hull
- Filed Under
A 39-year-old Fond du Lac woman was charged Wednesday with multiple counts of delivering drugs near a Fond du Lac school earlier this year.
Charges were filed against Vicki Hull in two cases, one for selling narcotics near a school and the other for manufacturing/delivering non-narcotic drugs and possessing with the intent to deliver non-narcotics and schedule IV drugs.
Hull received a signature bond in each case due to her strong ties to the community, said Fond du Lac County Circuit Court Judge Gary Sharpe. ...

LG plans 55-inch OLED TV for mid-2012
updated 11:30 am EDT, Fri July 22, 2011
LG to focus OLED R&D on large screens
LG will ship a 55-inch OLED TV in mid-2012. This would make it the biggest TV on the market using this technology. Currently the largest model on show is a is a $9,200 31-inch model, also made by LG.
OLEDs are often more efficient, vibrant and thinner than traditional LCD panels. However, they are currently much more costly to produce.
Sony was the first manufacturer to offer an OLED TV. The company introduced the 11-inch XEL-1 in 2007. The set's high price, $2,200, made it very expensive compared to LCD or plasma TVs, and it never really gained widespread adoption.
LG is making a significant investment in OLED technology for large devices such as televisions. It currently capacity is 4,000 glass sheets monthly. It plans to expand production to 12,000 sheets by the end of this year. Although the company does build small AMOLED panels for smartphones and tablets for customers such as Nokia, it believes that AH-IPS LCD display technology is better suited for the application.

State of Vermont
Press Release
June 29, 2006
Through the Agency's investigation, it was discovered that in June of 2005 the LaCrosses pumped an overflowing manure holding pond into a field. The manure flowed into a freshly cleaned drainage ditch and then into Minister Brook before it discharged into Lake Willoughby.
The matter came to light as a result of a citizen complaint that was investigated by Environmental Enforcement Officer Reg Smith. After the investigation was completed, the LaCrosses were notified of the violations and agreed to settle the matter.
The settlement was reduced to an Assurance of Discontinuance and was so ordered by the Environmental Court on June 20, 2006. In it, Roger & Judy LaCross agreed to institute a new manure management plan which the Agency must approve. It was also agreed that a civil penalty of $1,000 will be paid to the State of Vermont for the violations in addition to funding a $6,500 supplemental environmental project.

The four properties planned for auction Dec. 16 are:
� 1260 Harding Highway, a blue house that contains mold damage. Purchased in 2005 for $125,000, it recently was appraised at $104,000.
� 1267 Harding Highway, a red-and-white barn purchased in 2004 for $34,500, now appraised at $48,000.
� 1280 Harding Highway, a former gas station purchased in 2004 for $100,000, now appraised at $92,000.
� Block 4601, lot 12, about 52� acres purchased in 2005 for $80,000, now appraised at $84,000.

Tony Robideau, manager of Richland Deli, was on hand for an announcement that Richland Village has been saved from a possible sell-off held near the train tracks of the Cape May Seashore Lines in Richland Wednesday December 4, 2013. - Staff photo/Cody Glenn
BUENA VISTA — The future of Richland Village is much clearer this week with a court settlement that spared two of six properties the township had scheduled to sell at an auction later this month.
The settlement, which was reached in a closed session at Monday night�s Township Committee meeting, effectively removed from sale two properties that a pair of privately owned businesses in Richland Village had used for parking.
The remaining properties to be sold � three empty buildings not currently rented out by the township, as well as a vacant lot � will be auctioned Dec. 16 at Township Hall.
The settlement is the culmination of a months-long dispute between two factions of the Township Committee that attracted widespread concern from residents and eventually spilled into Atlantic County Superior Court.
The Rail Bar and Restaurant and Cape May Seashore Lines sued the township last month, stating the sale of the two properties would have meant the end of their respective businesses by taking away publicly owned parking areas.
The plaintiffs were joined in the suit by township resident Mary E. Taft, who alleged improper actions by a majority on the committee.
They and their attorney, Louis Magazzu, met with two committee members and other supporters Wednesday afternoon for a victory lap on the Cape May Seashore railroad.
Dubbed �The Miracle on Route 40,� the train ride into town was more or less political theater by the group, who took turns giving prepared speeches about their reactions to the settlement and their views on the future of Richland Village.
�This is a great day for Buena Vista Township,� Magazzu said after stepping off the train. �Richland Village is going to be better than ever.�
The group, joined by Santa Claus, praised township officials for reaching a deal.
�When you remove uncertainty, you can get on with business,� said Tony Robideau, who runs the Richland Deli.
Tony Macrie, president of the railroad line, shared a similar sentiment.
�We�re very pleased that cool heads prevailed,� he said. �We plan to be here awhile.�
Now that the future of his business is less precarious, Macrie said, the rail line will look into operating more frequently in the coming years rather than merely the winter holiday season.
Mayor Sue Barber, a member of the opposing side, called the deal a compromise.
�Not everyone�s happy with the results,� Barber said in a phone interview Wednesday. �We negotiated and we decided to compromise.�
The suit against the township came weeks away from an expected power shift on the Township Committee.
The all-Democrat committee has been bitterly split into two factions over the past two years amid many disputes and political infighting.
On one side, the majority faction comprises of Barber, Peter Bylone and Richard Harlan. The minority faction comprises former mayor Chuck Chiarello and Committeewoman Teresa Kelly.
Bylone and Harlan lost their re-election bids in the June primary and will be replaced next month by committeemen-elect Steve Martinelli and John Williams, both of whom support Chiarello and Kelly.
Each of the current committee members has voted in favor of the Richland Village economic revitalization project throughout the years, beginning with its $4 million initial redevelopment in 2004.
The original intent was to draw tourism dollars to the area by featuring railroad-themed attractions along a three-quarter-mile stretch of Harding Highway between Cedar and Llewellyn avenues. Roughly 16 acres were purchased using $3.1 million in various state and federal grants, as well as close to $1 million in bond ordinances.
Soon thereafter, the township transformed the former run-down Pinelands area into a somewhat lively tourist destination that features a reconstructed tourist railroad, a model railroad museum and several businesses.
However, in the following years, several of the remaining undeveloped properties failed to draw interest.
In the past two years, the majority faction of the Township Committee reversed its support for the village, attempting in August to sell all Richland properties owned by the township. After objections from residents and threats of litigation, the committee voted one month later to remove three township-owned buildings from any potential sale.
�Ultimately, if you look at this you�ll see we�ve come a long way,� said Frank Mosentoff, who owns the It�s A Toy Store business that originally was considered for sale in August. �I�m so glad we were able to save this.�
Chiarello, who is the original visionary of the Richland Village project, said he hopes township residents will continue to share in his belief in the initiative.
�You have to believe,� he said.
�This whole project was born of the belief that we can make something special for this township. We�ve had a rough number of months this year, but a lot of good things are coming.�

It's a new kind of radio –

Jason Collett
By the mid-'90s, however, the music bug was still in his system, and Collett teamed up with Cash and Hawksley Workman to form the alternative country outfit Bird. The group's sole album, Chrome Reflection, borrowed heavily from pop, rock, and country traditions, all of which would later resurface in Collett's solo work. Before launching his own songwriting career, though, Collett first began hosting a series of singer/songwriter performances that featured members of Blue Rodeo, 54-40, and Skydiggers, among others. A popular meeting place for local musicians, the events helped cement the growing popularity of Toronto's indie music scene.
In 2001, Jason Collett released his debut album, Bitter Beauty, and continued hosting the Flood Family songwriters' forum. He also joined the Canadian supergroup Broken Social Scene, which found him playing alongside a number of his Toronto peers. Collett took a break from the band in 2005 to focus on his solo career; he issued his sophomore effort, Idols of Exile, soon after. Buoyed by the album's critical acclaim, Collett (now a father of three) found time to work on a third release, whittling down the catalog of 40-plus tunes he had amassed over the previous years. Here's to Being Here was recorded in two quick sessions during the winter of 2007, and the Toronto-based Arts & Crafts label issued the disc in early 2008. He remained with Arts & Crafts for the following album, Rat A Tat Tat, which appeared in March 2010. Pony Tricks, an all-acoustic, 11-track set of reworked songs, arrived later that year. ~ Jason MacNeil

First, when you're making a non-dairy white sauce using something rather thin, like rice or soy milk, the sauce is thinner; so I'd add a bit more rice flour to thicken it during the roux making process [where it says to "cook and stir the flour"]. Probably another tablespoon.

Yes, you can use an egg, beaten, to enrich and thicken the sauce. I do. The egg substitute I mention [Egg Beaters] is a liquid egg sub in a carton. Use the amount equal to one egg.

Hope that helps!karinahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-1069730145450951842006-10-20T16:33:00.000-04:002006-10-20T16:33:00.000-04:00I'm kind of confused about using a non-dairy milk:...I'm kind of confused about using a non-dairy milk:
I've seen you recommend to add more flour (how much?) and I've also seen you recommend GF egg substitutes (how much?). Are you supposed to do both or just choose one? Would it work to use an actual egg or egg white (eggology) instead of Eggbeaters?

Thanks! Also, thanks for the list of gf rice milks.Michellehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-1142361865506012082006-03-14T13:44:00.000-05:002006-03-14T13:44:00.000-05:00Thanks, Gaile!I have used Nature's Promise [add mo...Thanks, Gaile!

I've been losing weight because my food is unappetizing, and I have very little time (and a very small kitchen!) to make it in. Yours look really good so I'm hoping to try some stuff. I love Tinkyada pasta, but I've yet to find a good bread recipe or mix. I won't find out for at least a year if I'm truly celiac (medical wait times in Canada) so I might as well make this time enjoyable!Karliehttp://email@example.com

The British Airways Flying with Confidence course for nervous flyers is coming to Gatwick on Saturday March 24 – with discounted British Airways flights for anyone who goes on the course.
In addition to tackling their fear of flying, course participants will automatically qualify for a 10 per cent discount on any British Airways flight, for up to nine people – in any cabin class.
With almost 25 per cent of all people having some fear of flying*, the BA Flying with Confidence course has helped more than 45,000 people over the past 25 years.
The one-day course runs across several UK airports, including Gatwick, Heathrow, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The day starts with sessions on the ground with British Airways pilots who explain the technical side of flying, how an aircraft operates and other areas such as turbulence. Clinical psychologists also provide expert advice on relaxation techniques, and how best to deal with anxiety and feelings of panic. The day builds towards a real 45 minute flight on a British Airways Airbus 319 aircraft with British Airways crew – where customers can put the theory into practice.
British Airways Captain Julian Price, from Haslemere in Surrey, who is flying the aircraft on Saturday, said: "It's great to be able to share my love of flying and help our customers so they can fly with confidence and go on a holiday of a lifetime or visit friends and family abroad."

The UN Atlas of the Oceans is an Internet portal developed jointly by the UN agencies responsible for matters relevant to the sustainable development of the oceans and the advancement of ocean science. It is designed for a complete cross-section of users - from policy-makers who need to become familiar with ocean issues to scientists, students and resource managers who need access to databases and approaches to sustainability. The UN Atlas also provides the ocean industry and stakeholders with pertinent information on ocean matters.
The UN Atlas supports Chapter 17 of Agenda 21, the blueprint for the sustainable development of oceans adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Development began in November 1999 by the partner UN agencies under the lead of the FAO Fisheries Department as an initiative of the then United Nations Subcommittee on Oceans and Coastal Areas of the Administrative Committee on Coordination. It is presently developed under the authority of UN-Oceans, the interagency coordination mechanism on oceans and coastal issues within the UN System.
The UN Atlas was initially funded by the United Nations Foundation with additional resources from the six original UN partner agencies (FAO, IAEA, IMO, UNEP, WMO, UNESCO/IOC), joined by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD). Collaborators include the Russian Head Department of Navigation and Oceanography (HDNO), the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Census on Marine Life (CoML), the National Geographic Society, the World Resources Institute (WRI). Recent partners include the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) and the International Seabed Authority (ISA).
