'This is your Captain speaking.
We have a small problem and all four engines have stopped. I trust you're not in too much distress.' The ice-cool words of a BA pilot at the start of his epic battle to save 263 lives over a shark infested ocean.

Easy Percentage Calculation
When either required percentage or base number ends in zero.
1: 20% of 30
Long: (20 x 30)/100 = 6
Short - easy: 20/10 x 30/10
(dividing each number by 10 = shift decimal point 1 place left.
2 x 3 = 6
2: 30% of 80
Long: (30 x 80)/100 = 24
Short - easy: 30/10 x 80/10
3 x 8 = 24
3: 20% of 60.6
2 x 6.06 = 12.12
4: 25% of 80
2.5 x 8 = 20
5: 2.5% of 40
0.25 x 4 = 1
6: 0.35% of 70
0.035 x 7 = 0.245
7: 20% of 160
2 x 16 = 32

Humiliation for Saudi Arabia as it's 'forced to scale back $1.5trillion plans for 106-mile-long city The Line to just 1.5miles with workers already being laid off at desert construction site'

Saudi Arabia 'forced to scale back The Line project'
Stunning concept images released by Saudi Arabia showed a vast, mirrored structure cutting through the desert near crystal blue ocean waters. It is not clear what the project will look like scaled back.
California is poised for major earthquake THIS YEAR - says new study tracking San Andreas Fault activity
- The Parkfield section of the fault has regular quakes, on average every 22 years
- This region seems to make signature sounds before a major earthquake happens
- But it's not making them now, even though the fault section is due a quake soon
- READ MORE: California was hit by 13 earthquakes in just 25 minutes in one nig
DNA Differences between Biological Male and Biological Female:
Mitochondrial Genomes
The nuclear genome represents an amalgamation of DNA sequences inherited from each parent.
Male & Female Chromosomes
Biological Sex
Biological sex is typically determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from both parents.
It is the contribution of the male during fertilisation that determines the genetic sex of the offspring.
Girls with Swyer syndrome (1 in 80 thousand) have an XY chromosomal makeup (as boys normally do) instead of an XX chromosomal makeup (as girls normally do). Despite having the XY chromosomal makeup, girls with Swyers syndrome look female and have functional female genitalia and structures including a vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes.
Mitochondrial Genomes
- Mitochondrial genomes are inherited solely from mothers (biological females).
- Fathers (biological males) do not transmit their mitochondrial genomes to their children.
The nuclear genome represents an amalgamation of DNA sequences inherited from each parent.
Male & Female Chromosomes
Biological Sex
Biological sex is typically determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from both parents.
- Females typically* have two X chromosomes (XX),
- Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
It is the contribution of the male during fertilisation that determines the genetic sex of the offspring.
- If a sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilises an egg, the resulting combination is XX, leading to a female offspring**.
- If a sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilises an egg, the combination is XY, resulting in a male offspring.
