Newly detected sound signal could finally solve the mystery of MH370 after 10 years

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13540523/Newly-detected-signal-finally-solve-mystery-doomed-MH370-flight-British-researchers-fresh-clue-help-hone-final-resting-place-tragic-Malaysia-Airlines-jet-10-years.html

 

The mystery surrounding the lost Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 might soon be solved after British researchers found a signal that may lead them to the plane's final resting place after ten years.

 

Underwater microphones, also known as hydrophones, have reportedly picked up a signal around the same time as MH370 is believed to have crashed on March 8, 2014. The six-second signal was discovered by researchers from Cardiff, who reportedly said that further tests would be needed to determine whether the sounds the microphones recorded could lead to the plane's crash site.

 

The aircraft, which had 239 people onboard, is believed to have run out of fuel and tragically crashed into the Indian Ocean after it deviated from its course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing for unknown reasons. Despite extensive searches covering an area of 46,332 square miles by authorities from all over the world, the plane's resting place has remained a mystery for the last ten years.

 

A few fragments of the aircraft have since been discovered and a number of theories have emerged around what - and who - caused the flight to change course, but no one truly knows beyond reasonable doubt what happened to the Boeing 777. In the week leading up to the 10th anniversary of MH370's disappearance earlier this year, the Malaysian government backed a new 'no find, no fee' search off the coast of Australia, but this was unsuccessful yet again.

 

The starting point for the researchers in Cardiff was the assumption that a 200-ton aircraft like the MH370 would release as much kinetic energy as a small earthquake if it crashed at a speed of 200 metres a second. This kinetic energy would have been big enough to be recorded by underwater microphones thousands of miles away, two of which - in Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia and in the British territory of Diego Garcia - were close enough to detect such a signal. Set up to detect any violations to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, the operational stations are just tens of minutes' signal travel time away from where the plane's last radar contact happened.

 

The newly-detected signal detected in the time-window the plane could have crashed was only recorded at the Cape Leeuwin stations, which 'raises questions about its origin', researcher Dr Usama Kadri told the Telegraph. Dr Kadri, whose expertise is applied mathematics, said that while the signal reading was not conclusive, it was 'highly unlikely' that the sensitive hydrophones wouldn't have picked up the impact of a large plane crashing into the ocean.

 

His team thinks that further research into the newly-detected signal might finally solve the mystery, just like hydrophones helped locate the ARA San Juan, an Argentine navy submarine that was found on the ocean floor of the South Atlantic a year after it imploded and vanished. To locate the wreck, researchers used grenades to emulate the explosion on the submarine and compared that signal with the one picked up by hydrophones when it imploded. This finally led them to the remains of the ARA San Juan, which was located 290 miles off the coast of Argentina, nearly 3000ft below the surface.

 

Dr Kadri suggested that a similar experiment could be conducted to find the MH370 wreck. Should such explosions show similar pressure amplitudes to the detected signal, it 'would support focusing future searches on that signal'. He told the Telegraph: 'If the signals detected at both Cape Leeuwin and Diego Garcia are much stronger than the signal in question, it would require further analysis of the signals from both stations.

 

'If found to be related, this would significantly narrow down, almost pinpoint, the aircraft's location.'

Trump turns to youngest daughter Tiffany and her Lebanese-born father-in-law to help flip key voting group furious with Biden

  • Massad Boulous is all in to convince Arab Americans to vote for in-law Donald

  • Boulos previously spoke to DailyMail.com about Trump being a great POTUS

 

Massad Boulous - the Lebanese-born father of Tiffany Trump's husband - says he's all in to convince Arab Americans to vote for his in-law Donald in the 2024 election. DailyMail.com previously reported that Tiffany's husband Michael Boulos and his billionaire Lebanese father are helping court their community, who could potentially swing states like Michigan for Trump.

 

Now, Massad - who moved to Texas as a teenager, speaks Arabic, English and French and got involved in politics when he lived in Nigeria - confirms he is set to join the Trump family business to help retake the White House.

 

Boulous told DailyMail.com in 2021 that Trump was the 'greatest president in recent times' and believes he and not Joe Biden can benefit the Arab American community by bringing peace to the Middle East. 'Obviously the No. 1 point that is of high priority within the Arab American community is the current war in the Middle East,' Boulos said. 'And the question is, who can bring peace and who is bringing war? And they know the answer to that.'

Seattle to use migrants to bolster depleted police force after losing 700 officers in just five years

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13540653/Seattle-police-illegal-migrants-Diaz-DACA-Dreamers.html

 

Washington's largest city has just 913 cops to serve its 750,000 people after losing 725 officers in the last five years. Now its police department has tweaked the rules to allow applications from migrants who crossed the border illegally as children and are registered on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or 'Dreamers', program. And under a law change signed by Democrat Governor Jay Inslee in February they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language. 'So each person who shows up for an interview has to admit to committing a felony,' one retired officer wrote on X. 'A federal trial should take place prior to any hiring I would assume?'

The politics of memes: How Biden and Trump are fighting each other on the internet

https://apnews.com/article/biden-trump-dark-brandon-memes-2024-election-2e31e2347d1045babf1229fe210dddf5

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether it’s a grinning Joe Biden as “Dark Brandon” or Donald Trump’s face superimposed onto a scene from HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” both presidential campaigns this year have embraced digital memes, the lingua franca of social media. The campaigns of the Democratic president and Republican former president enthusiastically create and share content trying to shape the narratives around both men. Biden’s campaign even recently posted a job seeking a manager of meme pages.

 

With tens of millions of people using social media as a primary information source, the battle of memes could affect who wins in November. Many Americans say they’re not excited about a Biden-Trump rematch and growing digital habits make it harder to reach people through traditional spaces for political advertising like print publications or television. Memes can be an edgier, faster way to get a political point across than a block of text or a lengthy video. But online misfires have hurt candidates and created major controversies.

 

Here’s a look at how memes are shaping presidential politics.

 

First: What is a meme?

Memes have been around longer than you think.

 

The term “meme” was coined in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who used it to refer to a piece of information that is imitated and shared, be it a slogan, a behavior, an idea.

 

With the rise of internet culture, digital memes have skyrocketed in popularity. They often take the form of visual content like an image or a video with some kind of message that speaks to people who get it because of some knowledge they have or membership in a particular group. Memes don’t have to be funny or satirical, but that makes them more likely to be shared widely. And while politicians these days work to deliberately create and share memes, some of the most well-known ones were unintentionally sparked.

 

One of the earliest memes of the modern era was former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean’s enthusiastic scream the night of the Iowa caucuses, with videos and images of the Democrat’s guttural shriek being widely shared, drawing ridicule and damaging his already struggling presidential bid. When President Barack Obama was moving into the White House in 2009, the photos of outgoing President George W. Bush with the text, “Miss me yet?” were broadly shared by Bush’s supporters. A 2011 photo of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wearing sunglasses and staring at her phone became a popular meme the following year, “Texts from Hillary,” purporting to show her sending snarky texts to politicians and celebrities.

 

How do the two candidates approach memes?

Trump, a prolific user of social media even before he ran for president, has long embraced memes and shared them, as have his very-online political aides and some of his adult children. His oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., shares them frequently and refers to himself on Instagram as a “Meme Wars General.”The campaign did not offer any details about its digital team or its use of memes. Spokesperson Steven Cheung issued a statement calling out Biden’s videotaped flubs of speeches and moments of apparent confusion.

 

“Joe Biden is a walking, talking meme every time he shuffles into public view,” Cheung said.

 

What are some examples of their content?

>Trump and his staff regularly share memes that glorify him in over-the-top ways, such as depicting him to be leading a band of dancing Bollywood soldiers.

 

When have the memes gone wrong?

Last month, Trump drew backlash for sharing a video meme on Truth Social that included references to a “unified Reich” among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November. The “unified Reich” meme was created by an outside group of meme makers that The New York Times reported has collaborated with the Trump campaign. The Dilley Meme Team describes itself as “America’s greatest MAGA Members” and “Trump’s Online War Machine” with their creations sometimes shared by Trump himself.

 

The campaign said the video was shared by a staffer who saw it online and did not see the reference. Trump’s campaign denied it coordinates with the group but said it appreciates the effort of outside creators. Brenden Dilley, who leads the Dilley Meme Team, did not respond to emailed questions about the group’s work but posted a reply on X saying he would grant an interview in January 2025, after the next presidential inauguration.

 

Trump’s lone post since then was to post his mug shot. It, too, has become a meme.

US aircraft carrier captain playfully counters Houthi’s false online claims of hitting his ship

https://apnews.com/article/uss-eisenhower-yemen-houthis-red-sea-5dc09566c116913ed316eff87f3eff82

 

ABOARD THE USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER IN THE RED SEA (AP) — The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting — despite repeated false claims by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

 

The Houthis and social media accounts supporting them repeatedly have falsely claimed they hit or even sank the carrier in the Red Sea. The carrier leads the U.S. response to the rebels’ targeting of commercial vessels and warships in the crucial waterway — attacks the Houthis say are aimed at bringing an end to the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

 

The Eisenhower’s leader, Capt. Christopher “Chowdah” Hill, is creatively striking back on social media to counter the misinformation — and boost the morale of the ship’s 5,000 personnel — as the Navy faces its most intense combat since World War II.

 

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”

 

The visit by two AP journalists and others to the Eisenhower represents part of the effort the Navy has made to try to counter the Houthi claims. While on board for about a day and a half, journalists escorted by sailors crisscrossed the nuclear-powered ship’s 1,092-foot (332-meter) length. AP journalists also repeatedly circled the Eisenhower from the air in a Seahawk helicopter.

 

>One sailor, Lt. Joseph Hirl from Raleigh, North Carolina, wore a patch reading: “Go Navy, Beat Houthis.” While that’s a play on the classic call for the annual Army-Navy football game, the naval flight officer stressed that he knew the combat was deadly serious.

Boeing’s CEO is scheduled to field questions about plane safety from U.S. senators

https://apnews.com/article/boeing-ceo-calhoun-safety-senate-investigations-de6a273e5ad69764f4e666cc4afda2c1

 

U.S. lawmakers are expected to press Boeing’s chief executive Tuesday about the company’s latest plan to fix its manufacturing problems, and relatives of people who died in two crashes of Boeing 737 Max jetliners plan to be in the room, watching him.

 

CEO David Calhoun is scheduled to appear before the Senate investigations subcommittee, which is chaired by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a Boeing critic.

 

The hearing will mark the first appearance before Congress by Calhoun — or any other high-ranking Boeing official — since a panel blew out of a 737 Max during an Alaska Airlines flight in January. No one was seriously injured in the incident, but it raised fresh concerns about the company’s best-selling commercial aircraft.

 

The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are conducting separate investigations.

 

“From the beginning, we took responsibility and cooperated transparently with the NTSB and the FAA,” Calhoun said in remarks prepared for the hearing. He defended the company’s safety culture.

 

“Our culture is far from perfect, but we are taking action and making progress,” Calhoun said in the prepared remarks. “We are taking comprehensive action today to strengthen safety and quality.”

 

Blumenthal has heard that before, when Boeing was reeling from deadly Max crashes in 2018 in Indonesia and 2019 in Ethiopia.

 

“Five years ago, Boeing made a promise to overhaul its safety practices and culture. That promise proved empty, and the American people deserve an explanation,” Blumenthal said when he announced the hearing. He called Calhoun’s testimony a necessary step for Boeing to regain public trust.

 

Calhoun’s appearance also was scheduled to take place as the Justice Department considers whether to prosecute Boeing for violating terms of a settlement following the fatal crashes.

 

The company says it has gotten the message. Boeing says it has slowed production, encouraged employees to report safety concerns, stopped assembly lines for a day to let workers talk about safety, and it appointed a retired Navy admiral to lead a quality review. Late last month, it delivered an improvement plan ordered by the FAA.
