At first sight, potentially interesting update on MH370.
Seems that France had Satellite images of floating wreckage 2 weeks after the crash but it was never analysed. New research started on those images earlier this year (after the search was called off) and actually indicates possible areas where the plane came down.
So the article reads as a âhow could they miss something so basic as this?â Then it gets to the end and the story revolves around a US Research Company wanting Malaysian to give them âA Rewardâ if they find the wreckage.
I hope this is a true lead and not some âMarketingâ genius chasing free publicity.
This bit of news is a bit of a worry. I guess there is a very high incidence of depression among teenagers, which is sad to hear.
A quarter of all 14-year-old girls are depressed, research shows
Anecdotally, it seems to be borne out by my own experience as an academic. Weâre having to make a lot of allowances for students suffering stress, clinical anxiety, depression, etc.
The tempting thing is just to say âman upâ and deal with it. Certainly, that is the reaction of some of my colleagues who, when we discuss this, roll their eyes and say âback in my day blah blah blahâŚâ. I confess that when a student comes to see me about this, my hidden reaction is similar. But then, when I was a student, just getting a degree was fine. Now, if they donât get a 2:1 they regard themselves as a failure.
I guess the expectations, both in their student/work life and in their social lives are enormous and far more intense than anything I or my peers had to deal with.
As a parent of young kids, I wonder what I can do to help them. Or maybe I shouldnât. Maybe I should just leave them alone and let them deal with it. Maybe too much interference from parents is part of the problem.

As we got off our plane today my partner showed me a news article about an incident in London today. When we got in a few hours later it was rolling news. I commented to him that I thought this may be a bit ott as it could have been a traffic accident. I understand that the use of vehicles has been used recently but we need to be a little less quick to have rolling news and panic. Or is it just me thinking that? So it seems it wasnât the terrorist incident that many people thought.

It didnât stop village idiot Tommy Robinson rushing down there to peddle hate to the hard of thinking.
Luckily the museum was still full of dinosaurs so he and Katie Hopkins were not needed.

The people in the house opposite have no blind in their bathroom and are constantly in there. Itâs almost like they want me to masturbate over the blurred images of their naked bodies, like Japanese porn.

This story may have slipped under the radar in UK (no idea)
But it reads like some Hollywood âSpyâ Thriller.

In MALTA?
Clearly a lot more going on there than trips to the Blue Grotto
Itâs definiately not under the radar. One news show interviewed the deputy prime minister (or something similar) of Malta last night. She was investigating quite a lot of dodgy people.

Brighthouse have to pay back a lot of cuatomers. Apparently some lending agreements were not affordable.
So she wrote an article that was published in the US bringing attention to a fuel smuggling racket from Libya via Malta and into Europe, and possible links to people smuggling. A former Maltese International Footballer has been arrested by Italian Police.
So you have âwar-lordsâ in the mess that is Libya and the Mafia in Sicily and go and write a story about it. Nope nothing coud go wrong with that as a career path choiceâŚ
Hmmmm.
Obviously from here we have seen that steps are being taken within our neighbour. We are aware of the general plan (so different from you lot - having a plan for the future eh)
But this is a very interesting interview. It asks many questions, and I am sure some on here will have really hilarious quips to come back with.
But the 30 years thing IS interesting and contextual and could benefit some discussion that I wonât join or start a thread on
Interesting.
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: MH370: Private company signs deal to resume missing plane search -
Nobody is going to risk their own cash unless they have a good probability of a good return.
MOD EDIT: Changed Philâs world-breaking link. How the fuck is he doing this?
Thanks Phil. Youâve reminded me that we need an error page.
