Ulstein contracts with Island Offshore & their American partner Edison Chouest Offshore for delivery of a multifunctional OSV.
The offshore vessel is based on ULSTEIN's SX121 design, prepared and tailored for the well intervention, IMR and SURF segments, and meets the latest requirements for both well intervention and offshore construction work. The newbuild is scheduled for delivery in May 2014.
The ship will be based on the proven and solid SX121 design, a platform on which ULSTEIN has previously built five ships. She will be customised to meet Island Offshore's functional requirements and wishes, which are based on their experience from the type of operations the vessel will be performing.
The 130 metre long and 25 metre wide ship will have the highest standard of dynamic positioning (DP3) and will be equipped to perform subsea operations at depths down to 3000 metres. The vessel can be rigged for well intervention and is prepared for the laying of flexible pipes and cables on the seabed through a VLS tower (vertical lay system). It also has room for a rotating carousel below deck with a capacity to load 2500 tons.
An active heave compensated (AHC) offshore crane with a 250-ton capacity at 14 metres outreach and a below-deck winch will be installed on board. The vessel will carry two deep-sea work ROVs (remotely operated vehicle), one to be launched from the starboard side and one through the vessel's moon pool. The ship is designed with a large cargo deck for transport of equipment for a multitude of operations. She will be equipped with diesel electric propulsion and three azimuth main thrusters powered by six large generator sets.
The vessel with a crew capacity of 130 will be built in accordance with the latest international environmental and safety requirements and will meet the most stringent HSE requirements on the Norwegian continental shelf as well as regulations for floating oil and gas installations. Consequently, the ship also complies with the ESD requirements (Emergency Shut-Down). In the event of evacuation, both the starboard and port side life boat can accommodate the entire crew.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

CEPAC Releases Draft Report on Integrating Behavioral Health into Primary Care
Boston, Mass., March 24, 2015 – The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) has posted a new draft report, entitled "Integrating Behavioral Health into Primary Care," for public comment. The report will be the subject of deliberation and vote at the next public meeting of CEPAC on Friday, May 1, 2015 in Boston, Massachusetts. The report distills the latest evidence on the comparative clinical effectiveness and value of efforts to integrate behavioral health into primary care. It provides an analysis of the legal, regulatory, and financial landscape for behavioral health integration, and highlights key barriers to and possible solutions for successful integration efforts as identified through interviews with over 30 stakeholders throughout New England and nationally. During the meeting on May 1, CEPAC will be joined by a Policy Roundtable of experts in the field of integration to discuss the implications of the report's findings for policy and practice.
Written public comments on the report can be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com by Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Members of the public interested in attending the May 1 meeting can register here.
For more information, read the full press release here.Read More
Action Guides for Type 2 Diabetes Management Now Available
Final Actions Guides are now posted to accompany the October 2014 CEPAC report, "Controversies in the Management of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes." Written as three separate guides for patients, physicians, and payers, the Action Guides distill the key recommendations from the report to guide decision-making in type 2 diabetes management. Among the resources included in these guides are evidence-based recommendations for use of second- and third-line medications for type 2 diabetes, guidance for developing coverage policies that prioritize use of high-value treatment options, tools to guide patient and clinician decisions on medication choice, and resources to support implementation of coordinated care teams for patients with diabetes. Download the action guides here.Read More
ICER Seeking Nominations for CEPAC Membership
The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) is seeking nominations of clinicians as well as patient and public representatives to serve on the New England Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council (CEPAC). CEPAC is a regional body that provides objective, independent guidance on the application of medical evidence to clinical practice and payer policy decisions across New England. Supported by a consortium of New England state health policy leaders, provider groups, and payers, CEPAC holds public meetings to consider evidence reviews of medical tests, treatments, and models for health care delivery, and to provide judgments regarding how the evidence can best be used across New England to improve the quality and value of health care services. New council members will be elected to serve for a three-year term, during which they will attend two full-day meetings per year. To nominate, please send a CV and letter of intent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Nomination by sponsoring organizations and self-nominations are both welcome.

I live in Alaska and work in the oil field on the North Slope. Sometimes it is hard to get the things we need to keep moving forward. I ordered a pair of Doc Marten boots and a black long-sleeve FRC shirt. I inadvertently asked to cancel the order instead of asking to cancel just the shirt. Your customer service made sure to get my order straight. The boots will be a nice addition to the wardrobe as fall sets in (snowed twice here in the last week) and we transition to winter. It takes a while for stuff to get to Alaska, so it is better to get things right early and not wait until the last minute when it is too late."

Showing: 1 - 10 Doris Lessing Quotes of 13
... if you have nothing, you are free to choose among dreams and fantasies.
In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools.
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all of your life, but in a new way.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don't seem to see this.
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way ... I want to take words as ordinary as bread. Or life. Or death. Cliches. I want to have my nose rubbed in cliches.
Growing up is after all only the understanding that one's unique and incredible experience is what everyone shares.
(Life,) this escalator carrying her from dark into the dark.
Growing up is after all only the understanding that one's unique and incredible experience is what everyone shares.
... in due time she would fill like a container with substances and experiences... . she would become mature, that ideal condition envisaged as the justification of all previous experience, an apex of achievement, inevitable and peculiar to her. This apex is how we see things; it is a biological summit we see: growth, the achievement on the top of the curve of her existence, then a falling away towards death.
Motivational Quote
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
Life Quote
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

What a Weekend!!! Two Big Steps Closer to a World Without Childhood Cancer!
UDance 2015
The University of Delaware students knocked it out of the park this year!
This past Sunday, as you'll see in the picture, the UDance 2015 students raised an amazing $1,282,103 to help The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation fight childhood cancer. This total moved UDance into the #6 spot in the ranking of the largest collegiate dance marathons in the country after just 9 years! Think about how many families of kids with cancer we will be able to impact and how much, cutting-edge research we will be able to fund with this money. I am SO proud to be a Blue Hen! Thank you, UDance C0-Executive Directors, Julia Denhoff and Kelsey McWilliams, the UDance Executive Board and all of the students that made this possible. You created a fantastic event for the students, put smiles on the faces of our 39 brave B+ Heroes, and raised a ton of awareness and money for the cause. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
While we wish Andrew could've been dancing alongside you at his parents' and sister's alma mater, we know Andrew must be so proud and so grateful to all who danced, donated and made a difference For Our B+ Heroes.
NovaDance 2015
In just its 2nd year, the students of Villanova University surpassed their goal and broke the $100,000 mark by raising $102,657 for The B+ Foundation at NovaDance 2015! This is remarkable for a 7,000 student school in just its 2nd year. The students have embraced the mission and the 7 B+ Heroes who they've been paired with. Thank you, Mike Dolio, Josh Beltran, and all of the Wildcats for impacting so many lives and creating yet another great tradition at Villanova.
Thank you for your continued support!

Council report aims to boost local, nutritious foods
Buckeye Farm News
The Ohio Food Policy Council released its progress report that sets final recommendations and goals to help improve the local food system in Ohio and advance access to healthy food.
The council was created by Gov. Ted Strickland in 2007 to analyze food production, processing and consumption in Ohio; link producers and consumers in local food systems; and ensure that citizens in need have greater access to fresh and nutritious food. OFBF is a member of the council.
Council recommendations include:
Implement a mobile poultry processing unit in the state.
Incorporate the Farm Bill Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program in Ohio elementary schools
Create a directory of existing low or no interest loans, grants and tax incentive programs available for agricultural businesses focused on local food systems
Increase support of agricultural economic development in the state
Direct resources toward improving the Ohio MarketMaker program, which links farmers to food businesses, to encourage more producer participation that will facilitate local food business development.
This council is doing its part to help support local producers and communities, create jobs, and provide nutritious food to Ohioans, Strickland said.

This fort, now a state park, is the source of our cottage in Long Beach. Cottage #10 at the Anchorage Cottages is a 1933 army barracks that was bought from Fort Canby in the 1940's and trucked up the peninsula and placed on the ridge about 1.5 miles north of the current Long Beach. This fort is reminiscent of other...

I have been camping at Fort Canby for nearly 35 years. While the name has been changed to Cape Disappointment, this park certainly does not disappoint. The campground is beautiful; right on the beach, close to miles of hiking trails and two lighthouses. There's Ilwaco for fishing and art; Long Beach for go carts and ice cream. So much to...

Clean Air Leaders Hail EPA Public Hearings On Climate Action to Protect Health, Wildlife, And the Environment
WASHINGTON (July 28, 2014) — With climate change a present danger to the American people's health, environment and the nation's wildlife, clean air leaders today hailed the Environmental Protection Agency's historic public hearings this week on its Clean Power Plan to curb carbon pollution from existing power plants, a key driver of climate change.
Results from a new Green For All poll, released during the national telephone press conference today, shows that communities of color view climate change as a real threat, and support carbon pollution standards to help protect them from its worst impacts.
In June, the EPA proposed to limit existing power plant carbon pollution by 30 percent by 2030 under a flexible approach that enables states and power companies to design the most cost-effective way to meet state-specific reductions targets. Climate change already puts Americans' health at risk by contributing to more extreme weather events and worse air quality.
This week, the EPA is holding four days of public hearings about its proposal in Atlanta, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh.
"The EPA's proposal to limit, for the first time ever, carbon pollution from power plants a giant leap forward in protecting the health of all Americans and future generations. This week we'll hear loud and clear that the American people are strongly behind the EPA's plans because climate change already, today, is harming our health and environment. We're almost out of time, but not out of solutions," said Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
"Global warming is no longer just a problem of the distant future or of people far away. It's here and it's now. It has personally affected me and my family and we are far from alone. Headlines every day remind us we can't wait any longer to protect ourselves and future generations," said Margie Alt, executive director, Environment America.
"Climate disruption is the defining challenge of our generation. It puts our food and water supply at risk and it endangers our children's health. A crisis of this magnitude demands action. We have a moral obligation to do all we can - by cutting pollution, accelerating a transition to clean energy, and by taking advantage of a tremendous opportunity to modernize how we power our country. Once finalized, the EPA's Clean Power Plan will do just that, and that's why Sierra Club activists are mobilizing to support and bolster this important public health protection at the EPA's public hearings this week," said Michael Brune, Sierra Club executive director.
"This rule represents real progress, not only for America's wildlife, fish and birds, but for the millions of sportsmen, wildlife watchers, and nature lovers who cherish America's outdoor heritage. The National Wildlife Federation and our affiliates look forward to working with the administration and the states to achieve the new standards and protect wildlife across the nation," said Collin O'Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation.
"Communities of color support carbon pollution standards. The same communities who are disproportionately exposed to power plant pollution and most vulnerable to climate change are the ones who agree – the new carbon pollution standards will spur research and innovations to keep energy prices low and create whole new industries with good-paying jobs. We applaud the president and the EPA for acting boldly to protect our families and neighborhoods," said Green For All executive director Nikki Silvestri.

Do you know the history of the Christian flag? I have seen it for years and pledged allegiance to it, but I do not know its history.
The Christian flag dates back to an impromptu speech given by Charles C. Overton, a Sunday school superintendent in New York, on September 26, 1897. The guest speaker for the Sunday school kick-off didn't show up, so Overton had to wing it. Spying an American flag near the podium, he started talking about flags and their symbolism. Along the way he proposed that Christians should have their own flag—an idea that stayed on his mind long after the speech. In 1907 Overton teamed up with Ralph Diffendorfer, secretary to the Methodist Young People's Missionary Movement, to produce and promote the flag.
The colors on the flag, not surprisingly, match those on the American flag. White represents purity and peace, blue indicates fidelity, and red stands for Christ's blood sacrifice.
The first pledge to the Christian flag was written by Methodist pastor Lynn Harold Hough, who heard Diffendorfer's flag presentation at a rally. Hough, a liberal, wrote a fairly broad pledge: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the Savior for whose kingdom it stands; one brotherhood uniting all mankind in service and love." Conservative churches generally use a more detailed version: "I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior for whose kingdom it stands; one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again with life and liberty to all who believe."
The pledge isn't the only aspect of the Christian flag that has caused controversy over the years. Churches have struggled with the flag's placement in relation to the American flag, its implied link between faith and patriotism, and whether flags belong in a sanctuary at all. For more on those debates, see the essay at the Bob Jones University website.

The leggiest animal in the world, the millipede lllacme plenipes, was re-discovered several years ago in California by Paul Marek. Now, Marek and his colleagues provide further details of the surprisingly complex anatomy of this diminutive creature and its extreme rarity, limited to a handful of spots just south of San Francisco. More details about the species and its biology can be read in an article that was recently published in the open access journal ZooKeys.
Millipedes have the most legs of any animal group. From their ancestors with just one pair of legs per body segment, millipedes evolved two pairs (four total) through segmental fusion. This coalescence of segments happened deep in the evolutionary history of millipedes, more than 400 million years ago. Four legs provide more thrust on a per segment basis, which benefits millipedes to help them burrow underground--e.g., to escape predators or access new resources. Those individuals with a coalescence of segments and hence a better burrowing ability, were able to persist in this early primordial ecosystem.
The most noticeable thing about millipedes are their number of legs, which lined up along their bodysides step in synchronous "metachronal waves". The acme of legginess in millipedes, and all animals for that matter, is the Californian species Illacme plenipes (literally meaning "in highest fulfillment of feet"). The females have up to an astounding 750 legs, outclassing the males who only have a maximum leg count of 562. The proliferation of legs may be an adaptation for its lifestyle spent burrowing underground or (based on the presence of features like legs with bifurcate claws and other traits known to be associated with rock-climbing in millipedes) enable it to cling tightly to the sandstone boulders found exclusively associated with the species in its habitat
Not only is this species the leggiest animal known on the planet, it also has surprising anatomical features: body hairs that produce silk, a jagged and scaly translucent exoskeleton, and comparatively massive (given its diminutive size) antennae that are used to feel its way through the dark because it lacks eyes. Its mouth, unlike other millipedes that chew with developed grinding mouthparts, is rudimentary and fused into structures that are probably used for piercing and sucking plant or fungal tissues.
This rare and ancient-looking creature's home is California, on the outskirts of Silicon Valley. The species is exceedingly scarce and limited to just a single tiny area near San Juan Bautista, just east of the San Andreas Fault. Based on the known environmental conditions where it lives, the species' probable distribution elsewhere in California was inferred. Yet still restricted to a small geographical range, the analysis indicated other areas of suitability limited to the terrestrial areas on the edge of Monterey Bay eastward to San Juan Bautista and throughout the Salinas Valley. What's unique about this area, and seems to be correlated with the model's area of highest suitability, is the thick layer of fog that accumulates in the area--like soup in a deep bowl. The fog and the species' unique set of features in its habitat (oak forests, sandstone boulders, and fine sandy soil) make this area a special place and certainly deserving of attention as the home of this rare and superlative beast.

Many of the country's most important architectural treasures, artefacts and palaces could be at risk under fire service cuts proposed by Boris Johnson, it was claimed today.
Westminster council, which has Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament within its boundaries, warned that the plans put historic buildings at risk.
The borough also has one of the country's densest populations, with many residents living in high-rise blocks which critics say are particularly susceptible to fire. Westminster fire station, in Victoria, is one of 12 in London earmarked for closure, along with 18 fire engines and 520 firefighters.
The consultation period over the plans closes at midnight tonight and the Mayor has hinted that he may be prepared to make minor changes. However, brigade chiefs expect him to take his own fire authority to court if it refuses to implement the proposals.
Councillor Nickie Aiken, Westminster council's community safety spokeswoman, told the Standard: "Westminster houses some of the greatest historic buildings in the UK, which have special fire issues because of their age and the way they're built. The current proposals, as they stand, do create a possible fire risk."
She also warned that specialist knowledge of tackling fires at historic buildings in the three quarters of the borough which is a conservation area would be lost. Although Lambeth fire station is nearby, its crews would also be expected to cover Clapham and Southwark when the stations there are closed.
In 2002, a fire broke out at Buckingham Palace that took 20 fire engines to extinguish and crews helped save valuable works of art.
Response times in Westminster for both first and the second engines to arrive have risen by 9 per cent and 14 per cent respectively in the last six years.
Fire brigade figures show an alarming rise in the length of time thousands of Londoners will have to wait for the first fire engine to arrive — with 59 wards falling outside the six-minute target time, on top of the 267 already outside the target. However, brigade chiefs insist that response times in well over half the capital's 630 electoral districts will remain within the target.
Westminster's commander Andrew Chandler said: "These are among the fastest target response times of any emergency service in the country and almost twice as fast as some other brigades. However, some boroughs will see reduced attendance times."
FOR: Engines will arrive quickly
Under the proposals fire engines will still get to an incident as quickly as they need to. More boroughs will fall within the six-minute average attendance time target for the first engine to arrive, and the brigade's ability to deal with major incidents will be fully maintained.
Thankfully fires, fire deaths and injuries are significantly down, and this has largely been achieved by the professional and pro-active work of our firefighters. I can assure people our commitment to fire prevention work, which includes fitting about 70,000 smoke alarms each year, will not change. We must also face the fact that professional firefighters are attending fewer fires than ever, again due to the number of incidents coming down.
In the last three years we've made savings of over £50 million but we have passed the point where savings can be made without any impact on our stations.
It's never going to be popular to propose closing fire stations but, should the changes go through, we will still have the fastest response of any of the emergency services.
These proposals will ensure London Fire Brigade provides the public with the best fire and rescue service in the country while also playing its part in helping balance the nation's finances.
AGAINST: Public safety jeopardised
The proposals to close 12 fire stations, remove 18 engines and slash 520 frontline firefighter jobs are dangerous and wrong. A cut of this scale — over 10 per cent of the London Fire Brigade's operational response — cannot be made without jeopardising public safety. That's why Boris Johnson's own fire authority voted against the proposals. It's why the GLA opposes them. It's why several local authorities — Conservative ones included — oppose them. And it's why, too, we have seen massive public opposition to the plans.For people trapped in fires, seconds really do count.
Yet these proposals would see an increase in response times for millions of Londoners. From Camden to Lambeth, from Newham to Islington, many would be forced to wait several minutes longer in an emergency. That would inevitably cost lives.
During the consultation period, we have seen two incidents where people trapped in fires were rescued with seconds to spare by firefighters from stations on Boris Johnson's hit list. Had the cuts already taken effect, they would probably have died. The Mayor must abandon his proposals.

Basic Energy Services Inc. of Fort Worth has reported higher operating activity in March, continuing momentum that saw the company produce a rig utilization rate of 74 percent for the month, up from 71 percent in February.
Rig utilization rates determine what percentage of a company's rigs is in use.
"Well servicing utilization increased in March due to seasonal factors but was impacted by one to two percentage points because of the decreased hours worked during the Easter holiday week," said president and CEO Ken Huseman, commenting in a news release.
The company's well-servicing rig count remained unchanged at 425, with rig hours for the month totaling 72,000, up from 66,400 in February.
March saw numbers of company fluid service trucks increase by five to reach 967. Just a month earlier, the company dropped two trucks. Fluid service truck hours for March totaled 192,300 compared to 177,600 and 195,900 in February 2013 and March 2012, respectively.
Drilling rig days for the month totaled 293, producing a rig utilization of 79 percent, compared to 79 percent and 91 percent in February 2013 and March 2012, respectively.
The company expects its first-quarter revenue to be about 1 percent higher sequentially, just under its previous guidance of 2 percent to 3 percent, Huseman said.
"Although the U.S. land drilling rig count has been fairly static since the beginning of the year, we are encouraged by the recent improvement in the rig count," Huseman said.
Basic Energy Services, which provides oil and gas well-site services, employs more than 5,600 workers in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Kansas and the Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions. More information is available at www.basicenergyservices.com.
