Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) has expanded its operations into Mauritius, with the acquisition of Belship Co Ltd.
Renamed ISS Belship, this opening marks ISS' first venture in the country and is based in the capital, Port-Louis. Belship Co Ltd was founded in 1996 and ISS Belship will continue to offer established services including marine and offshore agency, logistics and freight forwarding, as well as introducing a wider portfolio of global service offerings. The ISS Belship team in Port Louis is headed by General Manager Arnaud Teycheney, who was a former shareholder of Belship and is loyally supported by his team of experienced staff.
ISS celebrated the opening in Mauritius with a reception at the Le Meridian Resort, Balaclava on 1st June 2012. Captain Claus Hyldager, Group CEO Inchcape Shipping Services, played host to a number of local dignitaries and customers, including the former owner of Belship Mrs Monique Oshan Bellepeau, Acting President of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr. M.Allet, Chairman of the MPA and Captain L. Barbeau, Port Master of the MPA.
The acquisition is ISS' seventh opening during a formidable period of growth for the company this year. Mauritius is viewed as an increasingly strategic location which is well situated on major shipping lanes. Bunkering and transfer of security personnel are both seen as tremendous growth opportunities for the business. All clients will now have the advantage of local expertise and knowledge, combined with ISS' global network, systems, infrastructure and compliance standards.

NHL Coaches Upset About Fine Given to Buffalo Sabres Coach Ron Rolston
Sunday's preseason riot between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres seems to have a million different angles to it. The Ryan Miller and Jonathan Bernier goalie fight, Phil Kessel's stick swipe at John Scott and David Clarkson's heavy suspension for leaving the bench during a fight are all major stories to come from the game. However, one other aspect was a separate fine given to the Sabres' new head coach Ron Rolston.
Rolston was seen by the NHL as fueling the all-out brawl between the two teams when he countered Toronto's skill line by sending out Scott, who immediately went after Kessel. Leafs' coach Randy Carlyle attempted to try and calm the tense situation down by putting his skill players out on the ice. However, Scott was dispatched, then all hell broke loose.
As part of the backlash, Rolston was given a $10,000 fine by the league for "player selection." It would seem the NHL wasn't psyched that Scott was sent out, seen as a move meant to continue the violence.
It does come off a bit petty, and now a few coaches are voicing a similar opinion. Several coaches spoke anonymously to QMI Agency claiming they were furious about Rolston's punishment.
"So what am I supposed to do now?" one coach asked. "Do I call the ref over and call timeout so I can call (league vice-president of hockey operations) Colin Campbell and ask him who I can put on the ice?"
"What Rolston did was pretty much what a lot of us would have done in those circumstances," said another coach. "Now the league is going to tell who we can and who can't put on the ice? I have no problem with discipline for our actions, but dictating 'player selection' crosses a line in my mind."
Another coach stated that life as a coach was tough enough having to focus on winning, and being forced to place additional focus on sending the right players out in specific situations is too much to worry about.
Apparently, several coaches are thinking of taking a united front towards the league in attempts to call out their actions on Rolston.
The Leafs Sabres game has essentially become the story that keeps giving. One has to wonder how much more drama can come of it, and if things will finally simmer down once the regular season starts next week.

Groton — Military and civilian dignitaries gave a heroes' send-off Saturday to about 100 Connecticut National Guard soldiers who will be deploying to Afghanistan to perform aircraft maintenance and to five members of two military working dog units that are headed to Qatar.
Members of the Patriot Guard stood at attention with their flags inside the Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group (TASMG) hangar at the Groton-New London Airport as national, state and local officials wished the men and women good luck and told them how much they are appreciated.
Soldiers posed in front of a Black Hawk helicopter as their family members snapped pictures with their cellphones.
"After more than 10 years of war, responding to our nation's call is not new to members of the Connecticut National Guard," said Maj. Gen. Thaddeus J. Martin, commander of the state National Guard.
The deployment begins within a few weeks and could last up to 400 days.
The 100 men and women from the 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group of Groton are headed to Afghanistan to conduct field maintenance, depot-level aviation repairs and launch aircraft maintenance contact teams and test pilots. This is the group's third deployment.
Maj. Raymond Chicoski of Colchester, a Black Hawk pilot who will be testing helicopters that are repaired after hard landings or crashes, said the group has outstanding technical capabilities and is equipped like few others. Leaving home is tough, he said, but the National Guard does an excellent job of preparing families.
"After the second deployment, my wife has very little anxiety," Chicoski said.
Sharon Muthig of Cheshire, wife of Chief Warrant Officer 4 James Muthig, said her husband, a 56-year-old pilot on his third deployment, would not be happy if he wasn't doing his duty. She said help for National Guard families is available, but at this point she has her own personal support system.
"It's easy for me," she said. 'I continue with my life. I go to work every day, eat dinner. You do what you have to do."
Five soldiers from the 928th Military Police Kennel Master Military Working Dog Team and the 11th Military Police Explosive Military Working Dog Team are headed to Qatar with German shepherds Darko, Jury and Dino. The Kennel Master group will provide technical supervision while the Explosive group will provide security, prisoner-of-war operations and law-and-order operations.
Sgt. 1st Class Jimmie Smith of Bristol, the group's leader, said Connecticut is the first National Guard unit to have an operational military dog kennel and deploy to the theater.
"My biggest thought is to make sure my soldiers are safe," Smith said.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told family members he knew how it felt to have a loved one go to war. His oldest son Matthew, a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, was deployed to Afghanistan last year.
Blumenthal told the soldiers that upon their return, the country must "leave no veteran behind," providing the benefits and services they have earned.
"Never in the history of this nation have so few men and women borne the burden of battle for so long," Blumenthal said. "You deserve a place in our history."
The Connecticut National Guard currently has more than 200 soldiers and Airmen serving overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. More than 500 guardsmen from four different units are preparing for deployment by the end of the year.

Nine-race meet at Echuca racecourse today
Full fields are present in most of today's races, which is highlighted by a $35,000 stayers final.GEORDIE COWAN August 18, 2014 3:27am
The $35,000 Murray Mallee Winter Stayers Final is the highlight of today's gallops nine-race meeting at Echuca Racing Club.
Echuca trainers Daryl Archard and the combined stable of Michael Cornish and Donna Gaskin both have runners in the feature race, with Vivacious Miss and Cisco Delago respectively.
''Winter racing comes to an end with the final of the stayers and it's good to see we've got a couple of locals go round in that,'' ERC chief executive Alex Doble said.
''It is really strong prize money for a Monday meeting.''
Echuca trainer Gwenda Johnstone has three horses running today and she will be looking for her good form to continue after picking up a double at Swan Hill last Monday, when Thebarwonprince and Lika Shadow both saluted.
''She's hit a bit of a purple patch, so it would be good for that run to continue,'' Doble said.
''It's always good to see the locals out on the track.''
Doble said the track had passed its biggest test of the winter months and had shown how well it had been managed.
''It is in fantastic order and ... barring weather, it will probably kick off as a dead four and possibly even upgrade to a good three,'' he said.
''The track is in fine order and every horse will get a fair opportunity tomorrow.''
The end of today's meet signals the start of a pretty busy spring for the club, with a meet on September 13 followed by a poster race meeting for Brownlow Medal night, when the club will have David Rhys-Jones as the guest of honour.
''Then all our focus turns to Melbourne Cup,'' Doble said.
The horses will first head out of the stalls at 12.05pm, with the last race at 4.45pm.

Crystal-clear visuals for a crystal-clear voice
When famous Italian tenor and cross-over artist Andrea Bocelli starts singing, the audience sits down in awe and lets itself drift away on the soothing waves of his vocal range. And when a talent like this is accompanied by the right circumstances – auditory as well as visually – it really gets to shine.
That's why, when Bocelli made his memorable appearance at the Atlas Arena in Lodz in Poland, the event's organizers called on Barco to help build an impressive multimedia set-up. The Polish systems integration and live-events show specialist MOOV installed two Barco FLM-HD20 projectors and a 160 square metre Barco MiTrix LED screen that treated several thousand people to a mesmerizing, audiovisual experience.

Red Sox in contract talks with Cody Ross
Oct 12, 2012, 10:15 AM EDT
Two months ago there were reports that the Red Sox were "very interested" in re-signing impending free agent Cody Ross and then reports that the two sides were on the verge of a deal, so I'm not quite sure what to make of today's news.
Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports that "contract talks between the Red Sox and Ross have gained some momentum," citing an unnamed source.
Boston has until five days after the World Series to keep Ross from hitting the open market as a 31-year-old free agent coming off a season in which he hit .267 with 22 homers and an .807 OPS in 130 games.
Ross had a very solid year, but it's interesting that he's suddenly in demand after having to settle for a one-year, $3 million deal from the Red Sox as a free agent last offseason. Back then he was coming off a sub par season, but Ross' career numbers (.262 batting average, .783 OPS) are basically identical to his 2012 production with the Red Sox and he'll be 32 years old in December.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Oct 12, 2012 at 10:46 AM
How dare you question the Red Sox talent evaluators and contract decision makers. I think that franchise's track record speaks for itself.
- bobwsc - Oct 12, 2012 at 11:41 AM
solid point. since the titles in 2004 and 2007 were just handed to a bunch of scrubs.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Oct 12, 2012 at 12:17 PM
There may have been a few contracts handed out since then…
- ptfu - Oct 12, 2012 at 12:23 PM
Anyone can hand out big bad contracts. It takes a special group of Idiots to win the WS or to completely fall apart.
- Joe - Oct 12, 2012 at 12:11 PM
Then there's that .921 Fenway / .684 Not Fenway OPS split. Is it possible that his success in Fenway Park might lead to market offers that are unpalatable to the team that plays its home games in Fenway Park?

Yay! The new, right-handed Troy O'Leary!
- deathmonkey41 - Oct 12, 2012 at 12:58 PM
When he signs, he'll probably pump his fist and then give Cherington a flying hip bump.
- sidelineshot - Oct 12, 2012 at 1:52 PM
Good guy to have in a team with young players. Hard nose and low key.
The Sox are going to be fun next year.
- therightisalright - Oct 12, 2012 at 5:09 PM
Yeah Sux that's the ticket spend all the money you saved on Beckett, Crawford and Gonzalez on Ross he's a real superstar! Sign him for 15 years at 30 mil per that will guarantee you as many playoff appearances over the next 15 years as you have in the last 4. Embarassing.

Watching the English by Kate Fox, book review: Simplified views of a vibrant race
26 April 2014 12:00 AM
I read this book when it was first published in 2004. It was amusing, chatty, bursting with flavour and zesty as an energy drink, but, as a study, neither illuminating nor convincing. Fox is a leading anthropologist who seems to have decided that her subject is just too dreary and needs to lighten up. She metaphorically burnt her blue stockings, donned cocktail dresses and heels and wrote a populist, skittish tract. She has not sobered up in the new, updated edition.

Artisan: Buana
Like most people who were born and live in Gianyar Regency, Buana has been surrounded by handicrafts since he was a child. Gianyar is a part of Bali known throughout the world for its beautiful landscapes and exceptional artistic legacy. Handicrafts like shadow puppets made of cowhide, woodcarving and silver jewelry are created there in towns like Tegalalang, Ubud, Sukawati and Celuk.
In 1990, Buana decided to learn to craft silver jewelry from a friend in Celuk. He learned it all, from the very basic skills like sanding, polishing and making plates to very advanced techniques. Supported by his family, Buana has continued his profession as silversmith.
"I am thankful to God for giving me such a great gift so I can make a living for my family. Not much, perhaps, but enough for our simple way of life," he says. "Hopefully, I can offer a better future to my wife and two children."

Palestinians in Gaza speak of life under Israeli occupation.
"My Nigeria is my earth, my material, my jokes"
11 Feb 2008 10:58 GMT
This week Everywoman goes back to Kenya post-elections for an update on the political violence that has gripped the country since the elections on December 27.
The disputed re-election of President Kibaki has caused a wave of unrest across the country, with opposition groups accusing him of rigging the polls.
Just before the voting began we spoke to Linet Miriti from Unifem East Africa about the high rate of attacks on female parliamentary candidates.
Linet is back with us to tell us what has been happening as far as the women are concerned.
Jewish women and divorce
Under Jewish law, when a couple divorce, the husband gives the wife a "get" - basically, a bill of divorce. But, if the husband refuses to give it to her, she is forced to live as an Agunah: A chained woman, treated as though she were still married by the Jewish community even though the marriage is over.
That means any relationship she has with another man is deemed adulterous, and any children she has are regarded as illegitimate.
Everywoman investigates the misery of hundreds of women trapped by their marriage. Breast Cancer – Diva DiaryMany of you may remember Rebecca Lipkin, an Al Jazeera producer who developed a rare form of breast cancer and was brave enough to share with us her video diary chronicling her battle over the past year.
Well, the good news is that Rebecca is now officially in remission, and she joins us from London.
MG Magazine
Muslim Girl magazine contains stories about female role models, a problem page, and fashion and make-up tips - albeit for a conservative audience. Everywoman went to see what its readers thought of it.
And finally, a look at some of the news making the headlines this week. Thousands of activists hit the streets of Washington to mark the 35th anniversary of Roe vs Wade - the Supreme Court landmark decision legalising abortion in the United States in 1973. But today the battle continues between opponents of abortion and those who advocate a woman's right to choose.
Women too are making the news in Norway, where companies are facing closure for not putting more women at the top. Legislation passed four years ago requires firms to ensure at least 40 per cent of their boardrooms are women. Critics say its bad for business but Norway does lead the field for the number of female directors. And some good news out of Saudi Arabia this week. Not only has the government decided that women can now stay in hotels on their own, without a male guardian, there are also plans to lift the ban on women driving. It comes after female protestors drove cars through Saudi in defiance of the ban, as we reported last year.
