Nigeria approves procurement of two new offshore patrol vessels
Written by defenceWeb, Monday, 02 April 2012
Nigeria's 2012 Defence Budget Proposal allocates N6.78 billion/US$42 million for the two offshore patrol vessels. The first will be built in China while about 50% of the second ship will be constructed in Nigeria in an effort to enhance local shipbuilding capability and provide technology transfer.
The OPVs will be 95 metres long, with a draft of 3.5 metres. They will be powered by two MTU 20V 4000M diesel engines, giving a speed of 21 knots, and will be armed with one 76 mm and two 30 mm guns. Crew complement will be 70 sailors and endurance 20 days. They will be able to carry and support a helicopter off a rear deck.
The Nigerian Navy (NN) announced that the vessels would mainly to be used for maritime surveillance, patrol and response tasks. Other roles of the vessels would be protection of offshore assets, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) patrol and surveillance, search and rescue and oil spill control.
"This acquisition is expected to bolster NN presence at sea to meet the current and emerging threats," the Navy said.
Nigeria's Navy will be receiving nearly two dozen new acquisitions under the 2012 defence budget. The 2012 Defence Budget Proposal also makes provision for three Shaldag Mk III fast patrol craft, three 24 metre coastal patrol craft and six 17 metre Manta Mk II ASD littoral interceptors (total cost N2.2 billion/US$13.7 million). In addition, the purchase of helicopter and ship spares will amount to N1.04 billion (US$6.5 billion), according to Budget Office documents.
The FY2011 defence budget approved the acquisition of two offshore patrol vessels, the refurbishment of six coastal patrol craft by TP Marine of Holland and the delivery of nine Manta Mk II ASD craft.
French shipbuilder OCEA is building the three 24 metre coastal patrol craft and commenced sea trials of the first vessel on March 13.
The Suncraft Group is expected to construct the six Manta Mk II ASD vessels, bringing the total ordered over the last several years to 21. The Manta Mk II first entered service with the Nigerian Navy in 2008.
In strengthening its military capabilities, Nigeria has paid particular attention to improving security in the Niger Delta and off its 780 kilometre long coast, where it has numerous oil installations. In March 2007 it signed a US$73 million contract for two ATR 42MP maritime patrol aircraft to join its Dornier 128s. The first ATR was delivered in December 2009 and the second in March 2010.
Late last year the Nigerian Navy received the former US Coast Guard Cutter Chase (WHEC-718), which was given to the Nigerian Navy as an excess defence article under the US Foreign Assistance Act, and renamed NNS Thunder.
Captain Mohammed Nagemu, the Commanding Officer of NNS Thunder, said that the ship, which commenced active operations on January 23, had been involved in several naval exercises, while making several arrests.
"NNS Thunder, which has sailed 14 665 nautical miles, has so far arrested two vessels, accosted 108 vessels and carried out 'Exercise Obangame [Express]', along with helicopter operations," he said. However, Nagemu pointed out several challenges facing the vessel, including a scarcity of spare parts, insufficient tools and inadequate personnel training.
Nigeria's Navy is seeking government approval to acquire up to 49 ships and 42 helicopters over the next ten years to police the nation's territorial waterways and Gulf of Guinea, according to Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ishaya Ibrahim.
The Nigerian Navy has received 10 donated vessels to enhance operations in the Niger Delta. The navy has also established new base in Lokoja known as NNS Lugard and another in Ikot Abasi known as NNS Jubilee.
The Nigerian Navy has been allocated N69 billion (US$433 million) under this year's budget while the Army has been allocated N122 billion (US$766 million), and the Air Force N64 billion (US$402 million), reports the Nigerian Budget Office. The navy has about 7 000 personnel.

Oxen/Oxted bank is not so bad, just keep peddling and you'll get there. I'm from flatter than a flat thing Norfolk and still managed to get up it
Managed a reasonable bike/brick on Sat and a 1hr10 run on Sunday so staying on the wagon OK.
My plan says rest day today then swim tomorrow, last night I decided to switch it round and swim this morning, but when the alarm went off it just wasn't happening.
So a failure to launch but I can still stay on track, just have to get up tomorrow
Small success is that my easy cycles are starting to be just that Nice to be out in the sunshine and enjoy the view.
Beconase or antihistamines can help with both pool allergies and OW ones. I suffer more in the pool than I do OW.

Pete, I always go to the end of the results and work back to find my name. Either at the end or within 6 places is quite usual for my standard.
Sgt it's a shame Bridgtown haven't been any use as they helped me out loads with modernising my old steel raleigh road bike and then purchasing my Trek. Odd isn't it, I got ignored in the other shops completely.
Yay well done everyone. Super sprint done and dusted yesterday, did the swim badly but I'm very pleased with my bike time. Still got a lot of work to do as yet but it was nice fund day out and my friends all finished their first tri in fine style and say they enjoyed it

Bob Sinclar
On the cover of this month's DJ magazine, the influential British dance publication, Christophe Le Friant's pure white visage stares out against a bright red and blue backdrop. And it's not the Stars and Stripes.
The headline blares, "The French Revolution," while the name Bob Sinclar, a pseudonym for Le Friant, shares space with Justice, I:Cube, Sebastian, and Joakim. Of those French house producers, however, Sinclar is by far the most popular. In 2000, at the height of the French house craze (remember Paris Is Burning?), he issued the creamy and alluring "I Feel for You." It pumped out of nightclubs worldwide while a full-length, Champs Elysées, earned Sinclar plaudits as a glamorous alternative to Daft Punk's equally disco-fied Discovery.
Most Americans didn't hear from Sinclar again until last year, when he released "Love Generation." "After Champs Elysées, I did another album called III," writes Sinclar in an e-mail from Ibiza, where he is on vacation. His English is slightly broken as he discusses what he has been doing for the past five years. Champs Elysées was released here on Subliminal Records, but 2003's III was not, nor were most of the projects he created on his record label, Yellow Productions. The massive "Love Generation" track, which hit number one on the Billboard dance charts, became his reintroduction to the U.S. dance community.
"I was looking for a fresh new sound to play in clubs, because the DJing is my passion and all my records have to be played by all the DJs around the globe," writes Sinclar. Unlike his past triumphs, which adhered to the filtered house blueprint his city is famous for, "Love Generation" is woven around an acoustic guitar, a hummed ditty ("doo-doo-da-da"), and even a whistle. It's goofily happy Euro-pop with a sharp dance beat. Roots-reggae singer Gary "Nesta" Pine chants the chorus: "Feel the love generation/Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" "I tested this track in Miami during the WMC, and the reaction was huge," writes Sinclar.
This past July, shortly before Zinedine Zidane head-butted Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup Final, "Love Generation" rang throughout Berlin's Olympic Stadium before the beginning of the game's second half. Chosen by FIFA as a theme song for its mascot, a lion named Goleo VI, "Love Generation" hit the Top 10 in several European countries. Sinclar estimates the single sold 1.2 million copies around the world. "I was crazy when I was thinking of all the people in the stadium and in the world listening to my song," he writes. "I am very proud because it's a real beautiful song full of good vibrations."
Sinclar recently issued his fourth album, Western Dream. Released here by Tommy Boy Silver Label, it has already yielded a second number one dance hit, the yearning "World, Hold On." Sinclar describes the album as unabashedly feel-good music. "All the songs talk about love, children, happyness [sic], and sharing," he writes. "It's Western Dream. Live your life to be free."

Detroit Pistons 2013 Player Profile: Chauncey Billups
Chauncey Billups came back to the Detroit Pistons for more than just making amends for having traded him five years ago.
The Pistons are confident that Billups, at age 37, still has two good NBA years left in him, maybe three, and that he can provide off-the-court and on-the-court leadership they've been lacking in recent seasons. But early in the season, the Pistons will need Billups to be like the Chauncey of old.
Right now, the Pistons are without Brandon Jennings and Rodney Stuckey, who are nursing injuries. Especially for that reason, Billups will probably see more action at the guard spot than had originally been intended. He has seen action in three games so far and is averaging 26.3 minutes, 8.0 points and 4.0 assists, and is shooting 30.4 percent from the floor, 40 percent on threes and 80.0 percent on free throws.
Billups needs to shake the rust off and shoot better. It's not going to help having a 30 percent shooter playing guard. But he should give the Pistons steady direction when he's at that spot.
A key aspect of Billups' season will be his durability. The Pistons need him to play a full season and avoid injuries and illnesses as much as possible. That 's not easy at his age. But Billups can still be just as dangerous of a player as most guards on the Pistons roster. How many minutes he gives the team remains to be seen.
His impact on the team is likely to be huge early in the season. There's the possibility, too, that it could be huge the entire season.

Gay activists target Chick-Fil-A
To the proponents of the radical homosexual agenda tolerance only goes one way. We must tolerate them, or else. As for their tolerance toward others, not so much.
The latest target of their ire is Chick-Fil-A. The restaurant chain is under fire because, horror of horrors, a single local franchisee promised to donate some sandwiches to an upcoming marriage conference. Can you guess why? Yup, it's a Christian marriage conference.
The gay rights crowd can't possible accept someone being generous toward those who actually believe marriage is between one man and one woman. Such an idea is positively out of the mainstream, for them anyway. For most of us it's just The Way Things Ought To Be.
Can I call them "haters"? 'Cause there's a whole lotta hate being launched at the entire Chick-Fil-A chain. Wait a sec. Didn't Dear Leader call for a cease-fire in the hater wars?
Clearly these guys didn't get the memo. Maybe they thought it was only addressed to Sarah Palin.
It's actually much ado about nothing. One restaurant is giving away some sandwiches. That's certainly the owner's right, isn't it? To contribute to his community? Or should he have to activate his gaydar before trying to be a nice guy? The CEO of Chick-Fil-A released a statement reiterating their commitment to non-discriminatory policies. They don't ask and don't care if you tell.
Which of course is as it should be.

Cambridge Police Seek Suspect In Two Indecent Assaults
CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – Cambridge police have released a sketch of a suspect they believe may be responsible for a pair of indecent assaults on women in the past week.
The most recent attack took place just after 11:30 Tuesday night at the intersection of Cambridge Street and Ellsworth Avenue. The victim told police she was approached from behind by a man riding a bicycle who grabbed her from behind and fled.
The woman described her attacker as a dark-skinned male approximately 18-25 years old wearing a bright red T-shirt with dark shorts and carrying a black backpack.
Officers responded to the scene of the attack but could not locate a suspect although they did recover the bicycle.
Police believe Tuesday's assault may be related to a similar incident at about 11 p.m. on Saturday on Harvard Street. The victim told police she was walking down Harvard Street near the intersection of Inman Street when two males on bicycles approached her and one indecently grabbed her from behind.
The suspect was described as a male, approximately 18-25 years old with dark curly hair, a light-colored T-shirt and dark shorts.
In that attack, police said, both males fled down Harvard Street toward Harvard Square but officers were unable to find them after a search of the area.
Cambridge police ask anyone with information about these incidents or who can help identify the suspects, to call them at 617-349-3300. To provide information anonymously call the Anonymous Crime Tip Hotline at 617-349-3359 or text anonymous tips to 847411, beginning the text with TIP650.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Eyes of the blind will be opened
Study finds they 'see' images sent by sound
WASHINGTON -- People blind from birth can be taught to "see" images that are conveyed as sounds, says a new study that calls into question a long-standing belief about the limits of the human brain.
Devices that scan visual images and reinterpret regularities as sounds were used to retrain the brains of congenitally blind people in a study published this week in the journal Neuron. The authors, from the Safra Center for Brain Science at the Hebrew University in Israel, put people who had been blind since birth through 70 hours of training with a visual-to-auditory sensory substitution device.
Initially, the subjects could distinguish among faces, houses, everyday objects, body shapes and textures. Eventually, they could read letters and words, identify facial expressions and locate people's positions. In one video, a blind person is shown a picture of a woman with a ponytail and identified the hairstyle.
Blind people have long used the ability to use another sensory perception to compensate for blindness: Braille and blind walking canes allow people without sight to read and navigate. But when the authors of the current study put subjects in a brain scanner, they gained insight into the process by which training with a sensory substitution device allows the mind's eye to "see."
The human brain is a remarkably efficient and adaptable organ: When an appendage such as a hand is amputated or a sensory perception such as sight is lost, the specialized regions of the brain in which input from the hand or the eyes is processed are reassigned to other duties.
But scientists have long believed the brain's adaptability is limited by early conditions: When a person is born blind, the capacity of the brain's visual cortex to process sight never develops, scientists have believed. With that lost opportunity, a window is closed, and even if eyesight were to be restored, the visual cortex, they believed, would forever remain "blind" to images.
Not so, the current study finds. When blind subjects listened to the "soundscapes" that conveyed information about a visual image, they showed activation in their visual cortex.
In fact, when sounds conveyed the shape of letters, subjects who had never "seen" a letter showed activation in a patch of the left ventral visual cortex that uniquely comes alive when people with normal vision read letters and words.
"The adult brain is more flexible than we thought," said co-author Amir Amedi. With the right training approaches and technologies, the brains of people who have been blind for a long time -- even since birth -- might be "reawakened" to the task of processing visual information, he said. For some, he added, such training might even restore some lost vision.
In fact, a 2008 study first offered tantalizing evidence that scientists were wrong in their long-held belief that a congenitally blind person could never have normal vision even if eyesight were restored.
A young Indian woman identified only as SRD was born blind of dense congenital cataracts, but her vision was restored when she was 12 at the Iladevi Eye Clinic in Ahmedabad, India. Twenty years after she regained her eyesight, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered this rare instance of a congenitally blind person whose vision was restored, and tested her extensively to see how she saw.
SRD's sight was virtually normal, though the MIT team found she did not use certain cognitive tricks most sighted people use to make sense of conflicting visual cues.
Other interesting cases of visual impairment and the cognitive strategies the blind and the sighted use to make sense of their world are discussed by neurologist Oliver Sacks in his book The Mind's Eye.

This year has been a weird one when it comes to the videogame industry. We're stuck in this holding pattern where our tired and sputtering old consoles are still at the forefront and everyone is on tenterhooks for Microsoft and Sony to elaborate a bit on words like "Durango" and "Orbis".
However, the death-throes of a generation often throw up some of its most interesting games and 2012 has been no different. Although little in 2012 matched the glorious heights of last year's Portal 2, Dark Souls, Bastion and of course; Saints Row the Third, I don't think I've ever experimented with new ideas and different genres more than during this year.
So here is a list of games that I enjoyed from this year in no particular order, let's imagine I love all of them equally. I didn't play a lot of this year's releases, so here's what I've got.
Max Payne 3
As a fashionable latecomer to the series from March of this year, I was simultaneously enamoured by Max Payne 2 and immediately curious as to what Rockstar would do to a sequel to a series with such a singular sense of style and personality. The answer was: Mechanically? Not much was changed. Stylistically though? Everything that makes Max Payne as a character who he is has been altered to fit the Houser Brother's desire to deconstruct a gaming icon. The gunplay was strong, the character work was stronger and Max Payne rocked Tom Cruise's grey suit from Collateral like only Max Payne could. I eventually realised that playing the game with a controller wasn't ideal and a few of Max's quips miss the mark, but it's still the only shooter this year that lived up to my expectations.
Syndicate is not how you do a classic revival. Deus Ex Human Revolution is a more faithful follow-up to the Bullfrog classic than Starbreeze's latest, but it doesn't mean Syndicate didn't satisfy on its own level. There's a lot to criticise about Syndicate, from the insipid story to the dearth of actual content, and rightly so. There's also quite a bit to love as well if you're looking for a fast-paced shooter with terrific AI and a great co-op component. Syndicate is the first game I've played that has managed to take the Left 4 Dead formula and do something interesting with it. The way the game enforces interdependence between players is genius, eliminating the frustration of playing co-op with strangers elegantly and intuitively. It's not an amazing game by any stretch of the imagination and it's a shame that Starbreeze's most mechanically confident game didn't reach the audience it deserved because it's still plenty of cold, corporate fun in its own right.
FTL: Faster Than Light
I don't like roguelikes. I want nothing to do with space-sims. I love FTL despite its inclusion of elements from both. What initially appears to be a simple game on the surface unfolds into nailbiting battle against unknown dangers waiting beyond the next star system and more often than not I watched with equal levels of horror and excitement as fires started in life support and evil space spiders beamed onto my ship to butcher the crew after about 20 minutes. Then I would exclaim "Damn that was fantastic" and start over. The fun in FTL is banging your head against a solid wall, it just so happens that doing so is immensely fufilling. Rest in Peace the crew of the Kestrel, the Torus and the twenty other namesakes whose crew never made it to the medbay in time.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I have no nostalgia or reverence for the original XCOM games because they were released when I was an infant whose mind would surely be corrupted by the presence of all those pixels. Similarly I've never been hooked by a Firaxis game as they've always seemed wildly impenetrable to someone raised on a dualshock. XCOM: Enemy Unknown was consequently a revelation for me. The feedback loop; be it positive or negative in its reinforcement, is constant. There's not a moment in XCOM where you don't feel like you're having a meaningful impact on the events occurring in the game, which makes it even more heartbreaking when you lose your best soldiers to the alien foe (Sgt Stephen "Hulk" Gillespie may you never be forgotten). What's more, XCOM handles beautifully with a controller, it's 1950's sci-fi aesthetic is delightful and there's a tangible feeling of empowerment as your green rookies grow up to battle-hardened colonels who can take out Sectopod in two shots. Be warned, bugs and performance oddities abound in Enemy Unknown, and that's about all I can say that's genuinely negative about my 40-odd hours with XCOM. It's a classic revival done right, so much so that I can see myself dipping into old XCOM to see what's what.
Mark of The Ninja
Stealth games suck! They really do! People have this fascination with being the silent assassin and for some reason that gives the cludgy stealth mechanics of games like Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid a pass. Mark of the Ninja is crisp and responsive where the competition is sluggish and imprecise. "Mark" as I choose to call him is a tad too sticky to most surfaces for my taste and I feel the level design is a proof of concept for a Metroidvania-styled sequel which dragged some missions down for me, which just makes me more excited for a new iteration. The way the game conveys information is revolutionary. You always know whether your actions will alert guards, how far sound is travelling and whether you're visible or not. It's a fantastic example of intelligent design and anyone with an affinity for stealth games should dive in as soon as possible, you'll be in for a surprise.
thatgamecompany are a sly group of artistics. Knowing full well that I was unlikely to buy a game where you play as a flower petal, they made a third-person adventure game that could at a glance be considered somewhat conventional. Journey is anything but conventional. It has that indefinable quality of being able to inspire emotion yet I don't quite know why. The wonderful orchestral soundtrack and the raw technical achievement that is the visual design manage to take you from bewilderment to joy then back down to despair in the space of 90 minutes. If there's a game that deserves to be branded transcendental, this is it.
Hotline Miami
Wow Hotline Miami you are messed up. You're a gritty haze of murderous violence set in a 1989 that makes me glad I was born in the early 90's. Hotline Miami is a murder simulator, it makes you think long and hard about how you're going to kill everyone in a building. More of a puzzle game that a proper shooter, Hotline Miami teaches you how to concoct a plan and then improvise when it all goes to hell as it most assuredly will. Not to say all the murder doesn't get tiring as you progress through the game, but by the time you start getting fatigued the oblique and utterly surreal story will make you want to see it through to the end. I can't say every moment I played of Hotline Miami was enjoyable. I can however say that it was intensely memorable, and that the soundtrack will be played long after the game itself is forgotten.
So that was 2012. I played a bunch of games that were released this year that didn't make it on to this list and that's mainly because most of them were disappointing experiences. Luckily the games above redeem this year's evident shortcomings.
Roll on 2013.
