Outcome of Investigation Findings into Marine Incidents and Measures to Enhance Safety of Navigation in Singapore Port Waters and Singapore Strait
Following the three collision incidents[1] resulting in oil spills which took place in the Singapore port waters and Singapore Strait between January 29 and February 10 early this year, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) conducted investigations to determine the causes of the incidents. MPA also formed a Safety Review Committee (SRC) to review the overall system of navigational safety in Singapore's port waters and Singapore Strait. Members comprised experts from MPA, Ministry of Transport, the local academia and shipping industry.
Key Findings
The findings of the investigations showed that human error and poor judgment of the situation was the main cause of the three collisions. There was lack of situational awareness of the bridge teams, including the pilots, although MPA's Port Operations Control Centre (POCC) had provided advisories and warnings of the traffic situation to the bridge teams. The bridge teams also did not make use of all available means at their disposal, such as the Automatic Identification System (AIS), Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA), Radar, and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) to avoid the collisions. Appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken against the members of the bridge teams, including the pilots, for contravening the relevant regulations.
The SRC also reviewed the overall regime of navigational safety in Singapore's port limits. The SRC found no significant increase in the number of incidents between 2007 and 2013, nor was there apparent correlation in the occurrence of incidents and growth in vessel movements in the Singapore Strait or port waters. The number of incidents over the last few years remained low and averaged about 0.012 and 0.016 per 1,000 vessel movements in the port waters and Singapore Strait respectively. The existing systems and procedures put in place by MPA have helped to keep the incident rates low.
Key Follow Ups
Notwithstanding, the SRC recommended adopting the following key measures to further enhance the safety of navigation in the port and in the Singapore Strait:
i. Instilling a strong safety culture
MPA should work with the industry to develop an integrated safety management framework to drive the overall efforts to promote a strong culture of safety awareness, including the conduct of regular safety briefings to the shipping community.
ii. Enhancing communication and information sharing
PSA Marine should enhance the information sharing between pilots and ship masters, including the timely dissemination of passage plan to the ships. There should also be procedures for its pilots to follow when communications failure occurs between the pilots on converging ships, or between the Vessel Traffic Information System (VTIS) and their ships.
iii. Improving safe passage in high risk areas
MPA's VTIS should consider providing more active advisories to vessels navigating at high traffic density areas in the port of Singapore and in the Singapore Strait. MPA should also work with the shipping community to ensure ship masters are present on the bridge when their ships are transiting critical areas in the Singapore Strait.
To implement the above measures and ensure efforts are sustained, MPA will form two working groups:
i.The MPA-PSA Marine Safety of Navigation Working Group.
ii.The MPA-SSA (Singapore Shipping Association) Safety of Navigation Working Group.
MPA will also be shortly launching a Safety Campaign with the shipping community to raise the level of awareness on navigational safety. It will also review and improve navigational safety in critical areas such as key fairways and pilot boarding grounds.
Shipping Community Briefed at the Navigational Safety Dialogue Session
MPA organized a dialogue session this morning with the shipping community to update them on the investigation findings of the incidents, and measures to enhance the safety of navigation in the Singapore Strait and Singapore's port waters. More than 150 representatives from the shipping community attended the dialogue session, including shipowners, ship managers, ship charterers and shipping agents, who have direct channels to convey the safety messages to the ship masters and officers.
MPA Chief Executive, Andrew Tan said, "MPA places a strong emphasis on the safety of navigation and takes a serious view of any incidents in Singapore waters. Moving forward, we will work more closely with all our industry partners to review our safety management procedures and implement additional measures to enhance navigational safety. We will also not hesitate to take appropriate actions against those who infringe our safety regulations."
Patrick Phoon, Chairman of the Safe Navigation and Environment Committee of the Asian Shipowners' Forum and President of the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) said, "We welcome the efforts taken by MPA and the Safety Review Committee to look at the causes to these incidents holistically. The SSA will work closely with MPA to implement the recommendations from the Safety Review Committee to enhance navigational safety within our port waters and the Singapore Strait."
[1] The three incidents were:
-January 29, 2014: Between Fei He, a China-flagged containership, and Lime Galaxy, a Hong Kong-flagged chemical tanker.
-January 30, 2014: Between NYK Themis, a Panama-flagged containership and a barge, AZ Fuzhou that was towed by tug "AZ Carnation"
-February 10, 2014: Between a Liberia-flagged containership Hammonia Thracium and Panama-flagged chemical tanker Zoey.
More than 150 representatives from the shipping community attended the dialogue session.

Hi! :)
I recently purchased some bare root roses and am wondering when the best time would be to plant them? Our last frost date isn't until mid-April... (Chicago suburbs)... These are hardy BR roses (i.e. Iceburg, Knockout, Gene Boerner, etc...).
I would appreciate any feedback from the experts.
Thanks in advance! :)
When to Plant Bare Root Roses in Zone 5b?
Hi! :)
You need to plant as soon as possible and IF you don't have the proper site ready for them, I would suggest you dig these bare roots into any bit of ground that is frost free and can be dug.
For bare rooted Roses I always Place them in a bucket of water to give them a good drink while preparing the holes. I try to have the holes well dug out for the arrival of the plants, already added the manure or compost dug into the surrounding soil and add a handful of blood-bone fish mix as this is a slow release feed that will see the Roses through their first season without disturbance.
Before you plant the roots into there proper position, you need to prune off any dead / broken or diseased looking moldy branches, cut these back to a healthy part of the stems, also look at the roots and prune off any that are dead, broken or unhealthy looking and as you lay the roots into the planting hole, spread the roots out so they can have a good area to regrow and not overcrowd by having twisted roots.
Make sure you bury the Roses to the same depth as the mark on the plant where it was originally in the old planting hole before it was dug out.
Hope this gives you a start as to how important it is to get your Roses dug into soil or they will not recover in the open air. good luck. WeeNel.
WeeNel, you seem to know your stuff! I just bought some roses too and they haven't arrived yet. I got them from Directgardening.com and it doesn't say on the site if they're bare root or what. I guess I'll see! Anyway, I'm a first time grower and I'm going to put them in 15 gallon containers. Any ideas on the best soil mix to put them in? Or any other container rose tips? I'm in Zone 6A according to the new zones.
Also - good to know I should put them out right away! I wasn't sure.
Hi Cynical, I don't grow Roses in containers but folks that do treat the soil as for garden growing.
Put a layer of some kind of drainage material, (I use broken Teracota pots or even old trays made from polystyrene, larger stones about the size of golf balls etc, make sure there are ofcource drain holes in container if not, drill a couple with electric drill.
then add your home or bought compost and then mix into this either some animal manure, or dries chicken poop pellets, don't over-do the chicken pellets as you can add more to the soil in Autumn IF you wish to give boost over winter, some folks don't like to feed then as they fear this will cause new growth that will get frost bite.
Make sure you give water ans do check every few days as containers do dry out very quickly and Roses like well fed soil AND water at the roots but NOT sitting in a continually wet soil.
As you plant the Roses, look over the foliage, check there are no broken branches and remove these if ant, remove any dead or broken roots and cut back to a healthy bit, you don't have to remove every part, just the dead, diseased or broken bits
Bury the Rose to the same depth it was in the soil where it came from and you find this by the mark on the stem, it will show a dried dark area that looks like it was under soil or above the soil. I like to add a handful of Fish / Blood ?Bone, to the soil I am using to plant my Roses in as it is a slow release feed and will see the plants through there first season no problems. Remember to add a label to the shrub or cane so you remember the name, colour and date of planting / flowering as bare branches on a rose bush makes each one look like the next.
Good luck. WeeNel.
WeeNel, I have printed your advice and I am VERY grateful! Kathy, I love your picture. Is that mullein, that you use for respiratory illness? Who knew it was so pretty!
Thank you ALL for your help! :) I planted the BR roses right away (in April) and they are all blooming happily for me now!
Kathy, your mullien is gorgeous! Did you start that from seed?

United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) closed a $1.3 biillion (USD) multi-tranche syndicated loan facility for the partial financing of seven 14,000 TEU container ships and five 18,000 TEU container ships. The facility is part of a larger $1.7 billion debt financing related to UASC's announced $2.3 billion capital expenditure program for 17 newbuilding container vessels including, in total, 11 14,000 TEU and six 18,000 TEU vessels. Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (DB) acted as Global Coordinator to UASC for the entire $1.7 billion debt financing. The 17 vessels include 10 vessels for which shipbuilding contracts were signed in August 2013 with the remaining seven vessels being option vessels. The process of option vessels is still continuing.
UASC has ordered the ultra large container ships from Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. shipyard in South Korea. The giant box-ships, which are state of the art vessels capable of running on conventional fuel and liquefied natural gas, are scheduled for delivery between November 2014 and January 2016. The vessels will be deployed as part of a 10 year strategic vessel sharing agreement between UASC and China Shipping Container Lines.
The facility finances 75% of the cost of the vessels and is comprised of a $439 million commercial bank tranche (USD Commercial Tranche), a $300 million equivalent to Saudi Riyal tranche (SAR Commercial Tranche) and a $512 million tranche (K-sure Tranche) benefiting from 95% commercial and political risk insurance from Korea Trade Export Insurance Corporation (K-sure). All tranches are fully repaid within 12 years from drawdown. The transaction was closed in an accelerated time frame within three months of formal launch. The landmark deal is one of the largest ship financing deals of 2013 and is testament to the excellent relationships that UASC enjoys with K-sure and its lenders.
DB and Qatar National Bank S.A.Q. (QNB) acted as Joint Lead Underwriters and Lead Bookrunners for the Facility. The USD Commercial Tranche lenders include QNB, Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C), Ahli United Bank B.S.C., and Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschäft, each acting as a Mandated Lead Arranger while DVB Group Merchant Bank (Asia) Ltd. (DVB) and BNP Paribas each acted as an Arranger.
Bank Saudi Fransi (BSF) underwrote the SAR Commercial Tranche and acted as SAR Bookrunner, Coordinating Mandated Lead Arranger, SAR Facility Agent and SAR Account Holder.

USC (fantasy) football: Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett ...
In Pete Carroll's dream world, yeah.
So said the USC coach in a recent "Twitterview" with Lakers.com. (Twitter might be the best way to reach PC these days. Feel free to try it.)
They discussed a variety of mostly L.A.-related topics, including a gridiron role for Kobe.
Here's that segment of the exchange:
Lakers.com: Which current Laker do you think could help your program the most on the field?
Carroll: Kobe – no-brainer. ... He's a great competitor. ... If he isn't a go-to guy, then I don't know who is.
Lakers.com: What side of the ball do you line No. 24 up at, though?
Carroll: We're throwing the ball to him. ... He'd play split end – like Mike Williams or (Dwayne) Jarrett. He'd be the big WR. Good for 80 balls a year.
Lakers.com: How about 81? ... No. 24 claims he could line up at WR for the Eagles right now.
Carroll: I'd rather see him line up at the Coliseum than Lincoln Financial. ... We got 93k. ... He has four years of eligibility left anyway. ... They made a big deal about Michael (Jordan) playing baseball. ... Just think how huge it would be if Kobe played for the Trojans.

HSMShort for Hierarchical Storage Management, a data storage system that automatically moves data between high-cost and low-cost storage media. HSM systems exist because high-speed storage devices, such as hard disk drives, are more expensive (per byte stored) than slower devices, such as optical discs and magnetic tape drives. While it would be ideal to have all data available on high-speed devices all the time, this is prohibitively expensive for many organizations. Instead, HSM systems store the bulk of the enterprise's data on slower devices, and then copy data to faster disk drives when needed. In effect, HSM turns the fast disk drives into caches for the slower mass storage devices. The HSM system monitors the way data is used and makes best guesses as to which data can safely be moved to slower devices and which data should stay on the hard disks.

4.5 stars, gotta round up to 5,
This review is from: Old (Audio CD)
Great hip-hop album. Found about Danny Brown like most people through the EXCELLENT mixtape XXX (the title being a reference to turning 30, the explicit content and the familiarity with drugs).
Old is a continuation of the themes started in XXX, growing up in the ghetto and witnessing plenty of the dark side of humanity when everyone is broke and addiction is rife. Danny still manages to make you smile and laugh while talking about some horrific stuff and there are the usual explicit stories thrown in.
It is not MTV Base ready music, there are no real chart hits here ("Dip" is great, being being a whole track about molly it's unlikely to get picked up for much airplay) - some of the production is jaw dropping, his flow and lyrics are great.
Buy this, download XXX for free and live in Danny's head for a bit, it's well worth it.
(While you're at it, grab "Devil's Heaven" by Dopehead from a mixtape site - is a member of the Bruiser Brigade crew that Danny pretty much heads up, another great album of dark lyrics and nice beats).

Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

"The audio adds so much!"
The story of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some information about the audiobook, but in this case we think that would spoil the listening. We think it's important that you start to listen without knowing what it is about.

In a matter of hours Isabel has to leave Rhode Island for the hustle and bustle of colonial New York City - a community divided and caught up in the American colonies struggle for independence.
"Read me a story....."
E. H. Gombrich's world history, an international best seller now available in English for the first time, is a text dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity's achievements, and an acute witness to its frailties.

"Honest Abe", "The Great Emancipator", "The Martyr": Abraham Lincoln was perhaps America's greatest president. He is also deeply beloved by many, who are inspired by Lincoln's unwavering sense of justice and willingness to fight for his beliefs.
Young listeners will marvel at Lincoln's path to greatness, from his humble beginnings as a poor Illinois rail splitter up through his election as America's 16th president, and into the dark days of the Civil War - leading to his tragic assassination.
"I enjoy it"
"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen" - and first in the minds of schoolchildren, who learn about George Washington as soon as they begin studying American history. From Washington's Virginia childhood, through his days as a soldier and general, to his inauguration as the first President of the brand-new United States, and into retirement, this biography captures the full breadth and achievements of his life.
"Good information"
In this latest adventure (following Pigeon Post, winner of the Carnegie Medal), the Walker family has come to Harwich to wait for Commander Walker's return. As usual, the children can't stay away from boats, and this time they meet young Jim Brading, skipper of the well-found sloop Goblin. But fun turns to high drama when the anchor drags, and the four young sailors find themselves drifting out to sea - sweeping across to Holland in the midst of a full gale!
"Satisfying and Engaging"
Scarlet's true identity has been revealed, but her future is uncertain. Her forced marriage to Lord Gisbourne threatens Robin and Scarlet's love, and as the royal court descends upon Nottingham for the appointment of a new Sheriff, the people of Nottingham hope that Prince John will appoint their beloved Robin Hood. But Prince John has different plans for Nottingham that revolve around a fateful secret from Scarlet's past even she isn't yet aware of.
"No Joy"
Peter Stuyvesant: legends abound about the character, temperament, and wooden leg of the last director-general of New Amsterdam, fueled primarily by Washington Irving's satirical A History of New York. Krizner and Sita set the record straight here and address other misconceptions about the early days of the colony. Indeed, historical evidence does not support the legend of the 24-dollar purchase of Manhattan Island. Stuyvesant did, however, rule with an "iron fist", but he loved New Amsterdam.
"Bang! A side door bursts open. Soldiers pour into the room. They're shouting and waving rifles. I shield my head with my arms. It was a lie! I think, my mind racing. Girls and boys alike are screaming. The soldiers prod and herd some of us together and push the rest apart as if we're cows or goats.Their leader, though, is a middle-aged man. He's moving slowly, intently, not dashing around like the others. 'Take the boys only, Win Min,' I overhear him telling a tall, gangly soldier...."
Before Teddy Roosevelt earned his reputation as a strong, masculine hunter, explorer, and Rough Rider, he actually endured a sickly childhood. That's just one aspect of his life covered in this biography, which follows his transformation into a disciplined athlete and one of the world's best-known public servants and politicians.
One of the leaders and founders of Texas, Sam Houston confronted all of the prevailing issues of his day. Adopted into a Native American tribe, he fought for fair treatment of Indians in the halls of Congress. Faced with the dissolution of the Union during the Civil War, he tried to lead Texas away from secession. A frontiersman, soldier, and patriot, Houston's influence can be felt well beyond the borders of the Lone Star State.
"Who is Sam Houston?"
In 1845, a disaster struck Ireland. Overnight, a mysterious blight attacked the potato crops, turning the potatoes black and destroying the only real food of nearly six million people. Over the next five years, the blight attacked again and again. These years are known today as the Great Irish Famine, a time when one million people died from starvation and disease and two million more fled their homeland.
"A Decent Companion to Woodham-Smith's Book"
Perhaps more than even Washington, Jefferson, or Adams, Ben Franklin is the Founding Father who best exemplifies the authentic American spirit and values. Eminent historian Thomas Fleming paints a lively portrait of this self-made man blessed with a wealth of talents: a best-selling author, the most important newspaper publisher in America, and a world-renowned scientist and inventor before he took on the task of becoming the true "Father" of American independence.
"Amazing and Inspiring"
The Klondike gold rush, which occurred between 1896 and 1899, was one of the strangest outbreaks of "gold fever" ever to take place. With news of California's rush still fresh in their minds, thousands of men with get-rich-quick dreams hurried to stake out claims in the Yukon. But they did not count on the murderous weather...or the severe mountain passes that protected the gold.
"Could have been much better"
Based on a true story originally written by one of the survivors, Neta Lohnes Frazier's account of seven children traveling westward still has the power to astonish. In the 1840s, the Sager family set off on the Oregon Trail, a dangerous and adventure-filled journey. Tragedy struck when both the mother and father succumbed to fever, orphaning the youngsters - one just a newborn. The entire wagon train adopted them, until they arrived at the Whitman Mission in Oregon.
Daniel Boone opened up the American west; more than 200,000 settlers poured into Kentucky on the Wilderness Road he helped establish. John Mason Brown's classic biography brilliantly depicts Boone's life and times, delving into all the complexities of this fascinating man as well as the landmark historical events he lived through - including the Revolutionary War and Louisiana Purchase.

One of New Zealand's larger building groups Mainzeal Property and Construction has collapsed into receivership.
PWC partners Colin McCloy and David Bridgman were appointed as receivers for Mainzeal and associated entitities, as a result of a request made by directors to Bank of New Zealand.
The company is understood to have about 400 staff.
Mainzeal director Richard Yan said that after "a series of events that had adversely affected the company's financial position" and a general fall off in commercial construction work, the company could no longer continue trading. The company was no longer getting shareholder support he said.
Receiver Colin McCloy said they were committed to doing the best they could for suppliers, staff and subcontractors of Mainzeal.
"We will work closely with all parties involved with Mainzeal contracts to determine the best way forward," he said in a statement issued today.
The company has been involved in the Christchurch rebuild through projects including the demolition of Clarendon Tower, a 17-storey central Christchurch building, which was badly damaged in the February 22 quake.
The receivers were not available for further comment.
Mainzeal announced in October last year that it was setting up a new company structure due to difficult trading conditions.

BOMI International Announces New Board of Trustees Appointment, David Pogue
BOMI International Chairman, Greg Grainger, recently welcomed New Board of Trustees member, David (Dave) Pogue, LEED® AP. Pogue is currently the Global Director of Corporate Responsibility at CBRE where he oversees development, implementation, and reporting for all aspects of corporate social responsibility.
"Dave Pogue will be a valuable asset to the BOMI International Board of Trustees," said Chairman Greg Grainger. "He has already demonstrated leadership within the industry and within the organization by working as a lead subject matter expert on BOMI International's new high-performance sustainability program, set to launch in January 2014."
Before assuming his current role, Pogue led sustainability programs—managing the development, introduction, and execution of a broad platform of sustainable practices and policies—for the company's global property and facilities management portfolio. Program achievements included development of CBRE's $1 million Real Green Research Challenge; endorsement of the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR® program; introduction of the Green Knights program; delivery of co-branded BOMA BEEP training to more than 13,000 attendees; and recognition as the first manager of commercial property to certify more than 150 buildings in the LEED® for Existing Buildings rating system. Additionally, CBRE was ranked in Newsweek's list of 500 greenest companies in the U.S. since the award's inception, honored by the EPA as a six-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, and recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) with the Leadership Award for Organizational Excellence.

House Television, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Aides to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said Tuesday she wants to return to her job in Washington if her physical and mental recovery allows it.
A day after she stunned colleagues by appearing on the House floor to vote for the debt ceiling deal, Giffords planned to return to Houston on Tuesday after meeting privately with staff. It's unclear when she'll return.
Spokesman C.J. Karamargin told The Associated Press that she is eager to return work, but can't make any decisions yet about whether to seek re-election in 2012.
"There's no question Gabby Giffords wants to return to her job fulltime when she's able to devote her complete attention to it," Karamargin said. "Going to Washington to cast a vote that's absolutely critical to the country doesn't change the fact she still has work to do in her recovery."
Giffords voted for the bill, which passed 269-161.
Karamargin said Giffords grew frustrated watching colleagues struggle to reach agreement on how to raise the debt ceiling.
"At one point last week, when the debate reached one of its many impasses, Gabby said, 'Just get it done,'" Karamargin said. "I think that 'just-get-it-done' sentiment is something a lot of people shared. That ultimately is what motivated her to go to Washington and participate in this historic vote."
Giffords' entrance, with just minutes remaining in the vote, surprised lawmakers and added even more drama to a high-stakes day.
The Arizona Democrat responded to the attention with a smile, blowing kisses and mouthing the words "thank you" several times.
"We were just hugging. Girl hugs," said Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
Other colleagues, surprised and joyful, made their way to greet Giffords as she was enveloped in a cluster of Democratic lawmakers.
Giffords, 41, used one hand to greet some, the other by her side.
Her hair was dark and closely cropped, and she wore glasses, a far-different image from the one Americans saw seven months ago when she was sworn in for a third term by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
"It was one of the most thrilling moments for all of us to see this real heroine return to the House," Pelosi said, "and to do so at such a dramatic time."
Giffords' return raised questions about when she might be able to return full time and whether she would seek-re-election. The latest financial reports show the Arizona Democrat with more than $787,000 in the bank at the end of June, thanks to friends and colleagues who have raised money to ensure she has the resources for a campaign.
"She still has rehabilitation to go through, and a lot of recovery. So she's not ready to come back full time," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., a friend of Giffords and chair of the Democratic National Committee. "But she wanted her district to have its voice here on probably the most important vote we'll cast this Congress."
Giffords exited the House chamber by the east door, leaning heavily on an aide as she walked with obvious difficulty. Her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, accompanied her. Police had cleared a path through a mob of reporters, and Giffords did not respond to questions and greetings.
Near the doorway to the House, Vice President Joe Biden greeted Giffords and marveled at her return.
"She's remarkable. Will matters," Biden said in an interview. "She's the embodiment of a strong, strong, strong woman. Think about what that woman's been through, and think about her determination."

Your studio is beyond beautiful, it's everything you need at hand! This REALLY inspires me to continue to dream big and never give up! If God gives us the dream, He's already put the ability inside of us, and you show this through your work, and your're not ashamed to share your testimony. Reading your bio and taking the tour of the studio stirs up new motivation in me! Thank you Tyler Perry for giving us the "TRUE" you in everything you put out! Thank you!Reply

Gail Ashburn, VA
Hello, Mr. Perry! I sent you a message about a year ago about my friend, SaVette Brown's, book "Boss Lady". She is a newer, younger version of a Terry McMillian (better in my opinion) and her book is ALL that! Please take a look at it for a movie! She is currently writing the sequel. She also has a second book entitled "My Hood"! I can send you my copy, but you can also find it on Amazon! She doesn't know I'm writing you, so if you chose her book, I'd like to witness that surprise! Please contact me if you'd like a copy. I am an elementary principal in Ashburn, Virginia, graduating with my doctorate on May 6th! Her writing was a breath of fresh air as I went through my journey. I needed downtime with a richer book! Please check her out!Reply
E. Denise Caldon Sorkness Macon, GA 31210

I am mailing you a copy today. GOD Bless.Reply
