Easter EGGStavaganza
To kick off the Bank Holiday Weekend Fantasy Island hosted an Eggcellent Easter event! The event included ride closing at 8pm and 10pm, half price Bowling for all wristband holders and a meet and greet with the Easter bunny and his chicks who were also roaming the park for a good part of the day! This event also carries on into Sunday the 16th April.
First of I'm going to start with the weather and rides again! Well, let me just start by saying the wind did not exactly want to play ball yesterday. If you could find a spot where there wasn't any wind you'd be quite warm – and lucky! The wind chill yesterday made it a cold one!
None the less the crowds still came out in their masses to enjoy the rides and entertainment at Fantasy Island. All the rides and attractions were open yesterday. Odyssey, regrettably had to close around 1pm due to the wind being as bad as it was, which is completely understandable what should be a 38 second ride was taking 58 seconds due to the wind, even with the sandbags in it was crawling around, the staff were working their arses off fighting to keep it open as long as they could so a massive shout out to them! Unfortunately, though the wind did win and the ride had to remain closed – everything else managed to stay open though so there was plenty to do!
Operations were fantastic! Millennium was running on full trains with no sandbags all afternoon, was fantastic to see and really helped the queue times out by quite a bit! All the staff seemed dedicated to getting everyone on the rides as quickly and safely as possible while still providing the best ride and hospitality experience. Even rides like Techno Jump which have very long queues were only queuing around 5-10 minutes due to the high standard of operations the park was providing.
Couple of things I'd like to point out from yesterday ride-wise before we move on;
- G-Force seemed to have a hell of a lot more bulbs working on it than it normally does which was extremely impressive to watch come sunset!
- Sea Storm no longer has a metal fence as a gate, they now have a piece of rope which covers the exit and entrance – this may only sound small but wow it makes a difference on the appearance of the ride, fits the theme seamlessly too.
- Confusion was running beautiful cycles as always – only adding that in because that ride is my life! (Even convinced one of the the other Admins to come on)
Back to business, next I'd like to talk about the Pyramid and crowd capacity. Now, back when the Pyramid first got its major overhaul there was a lot of speculation going around that due to the amount of attractions and detail that the facility wouldn't be able to handle crowds very well, let me just confirm now that it's completely false. The areas for queue's have been very well thought about (For example moving Toucan Tours entrance and exit queue has created a lot more floor space where the station used to be. The seating has been very well placed too, it's not right in the middle of the Plaza or next to the Indoor Stage anymore, it's all around the edge creating a much more relaxed flowing pathway for guests to navigate the Pyramid with.
The staff as always were great, getting stuck in with the work and having fun at the same time, really interacting with guests and having a laugh. It's good to see staff enjoying the rides as much as the public! One thing I was extremely happy about in comparison to other season is ride queues now close at 8pm / 10pm rather than the ride closing at that time! G-Forces queue closed at 8pm but was still getting through the queue a good half an hour later, again, operations are really on the up!
Had another game of Bowling, but who wouldn't at £2.50 a person! Something to mention though is how badly the public seem to be treating the Bowling. If Mellors have spent around three million on upgrading the facilities the last thing I would expect to see is kids climbing on and breaking the Bowling equipment. Remember it's there for everyone's enjoyment so leave it how you'd want to come and find it.
We touched on Arcade desks in the last write up where you could purchase I-Cards for bowling, Golf and Arcade credit. Now there is I-Card kiosks where you can buy, register or top-up your I-Card without having to wait around at an Arcade desk. There are around 5-6 I-Card machines dotted around Fantasy Island, which are also on the park maps! I must add these machines are currently not up and running, they were just configuring them yesterday (15th April 17) and they should be up and running very soon, this will help the queues at the Arcade desks considerably.
So that rounds up another fantastic day at the Island! As always thank you for joining us throughout the day for our live updates and streams and stay tuned for more information and updates!

New York City Department of Education Releases Revised Discipline Code, the "Citywide Behavioral Expectations to Support Student Learning"
With the NYC Department of Education's newest Discipline Code, released today, the city has taken great steps to restrict the use of suspensions for students in kindergarten through second grade. We commend these restrictions as well as the revisions made to the Code that introduce opportunities for early reinstatement and reduce the availability of the expulsion option. At the same time, CDF-NY calls on the DOE and the City of New York to ensure the accessibility of disciplinary alternatives. Restorative justice in particular, mentioned in the Code's range of possible interventions, remains limited to too few schools and districts across the school system.

New York Medicaid CHP Data Overview AHCA- March 2017
Right now Congress is considering changes to the ACA and Medicaid. The changes would undo more than 50 years of progress made expanding comprehensive child-appropriate health coverage to millions of children. An analysis of NYSDOH data from October 2016 reveals that 54% of New York children are covered by either Medicaid or Child Health Plus (CHP).2 This means a majority of New York children have a significant stake in the policy proposals that impact Medicaid or CHP.

Youth and Community Justice Tool-Kit
Policy failures in these area have long-term effects on youth and communities. However, youth and community voices are often missing at decision making tables. We firmly believe that those who are most affected by policy successes or failures are the best advocates for change in our communities. Recognizing the proverbial "full plates" that educators must balance, we compiled this Youth and Community Justice Tool-kit to offer educators easily-accessible information and interactive ways to teach it to their young people.

Health Reform Toolkit Exchange
n 2014, each state will have a Health Insurance Exchange, a marketplace where individuals and employers can pur chase coverage. States have two options: (1) to create one exchange where both individuals and small businesses can purchase coverage, or (2) set up two separate exchanges, one for individuals and one for small businesses. Details about setting up the Exchange will be decided by the State and announced before 2014.
January 1, 2011
Health Reform Toolkit Public Insurance
Expanded Medicaid eligibility Starting in 2014, income eligibility for Medicaid will be 133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) in every state. (Currently, the federal poverty level is $10,830 for an individual and $22,050 for a family of four – so Medicaid eligibility would be $14,404 for a single person and $29,327 for a family of four.)

New York is one of only two states in the country that have failed to recognize what research and science have confirmed– adolescents are children, and prosecuting and placing them in the adult criminal justice system doesn't work for them and doesn't work for public safety. But New York continues to be the only state other than North Carolina that prosecutes ALL youth as adults when they turn 16 years of age.
Briefing on Solitary Confinement of Juveniles
Children, families and communities across New York State need our justice system to treat youth and young adults in age-appropriate ways. New York State cannot remain one of two states to automatically charge 16 and 17 year olds as adults in the criminal justice system. Governor Cuomo's FY2015 Budget Proposal to Raise the Age represents a bold step in favor of New York's youth and communities.

Since 1973, the Children's Defense Fund has convened and participated in many coalitions and worked with numerous organizations, policymakers and community networks to help build bipartisan support in enacting laws and policies that have helped millions of children escape poverty and receive needed health care, nutrition, Head Start and Early Head Start, child care, education, special education, family support services, adoption assistance, protections for children in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and protection from gun violence.
The Call for Youth Justice mapping report was written to provide a striking, visual tool in furtherance of CDF-NY's ever-evolving mission to holistically meet the needs of children and families in communities losing young ones daily to the cradle-to-prison pipeline. The maps speak volumes. They make plain the multi-headed hydra of issues targeting youth and devastating communities. The pages also clarify the need for expanded advocacy and organizing strategies that do not solely respond to the policy decrees and failures from City Hall and Albany, but that direct and guide elected officials while simultaneously empowering communities to develop and implement solutions for children and families.

Yesterday I held a small presentation concerning Bitcoin. For those that can read German, here's the stuff: http://cryptohippie.net/notes/bitcoin/
Someone even blogged about it: http://www.antibuerokratieteam.net/2011/06/15/die-bitcoin-rallye-geht-weiter/ (German)
Dear XYZ,

Bailouts, state guarantees, economic crisis… and every second pundit either warning of inflation or deflation. Enough reason to share a few thoughts about what inflation is. And why it is evil and matters a great great deal.
continue reading…
A few days ago I sat in a bar talking to a drunken fellow next to me. He was all about that current banking and money system being evil (which I agree on). So I asked him what the main issue for him is:
Compound interest! It is the root of all our troubles. Because it means that you can never pay back your debt and that whomever you owe something will own everything sooner or later. If someone had lent only a cent to someone else in Jesus' time, he would now own the whole world!
You can't imagine how often I heard that line in the past. And it makes me cringe every time.
What is compound interest? It simply means that if you do not serve your interest payments you also have to pay interest on the interest, leading to your debt increasing exponentially (compounding) and you loose everything over time.
But mind you: This only happens if you don't serve your interest payments. If you do, and even serve the original debt, you will be free one day.
The root of all evil is not compound interest, it is not serving your debt. Or more precisely: Wanting something for nothing.

Cahill's Icelandic team-mate sings his praises
Cahill was called up to Fabio Capello's squad to face Kazakhstan and Andorra as a replacement for Rio Ferdinand, who was forced out through injury, and Steinsson believes the 23-year-old has a bright future under the England manager.
"He has done fantastically since he came here from Aston Villa," said the Icelandic full-back, according to the Bolton News.
"Here, he plays first-team football every week and he gets confidence from that.
"He's a great player and without doubt I think he will be one of the future stars of English football.
"It has been a privilege to play with him this season."
Steinsson is on international duty himself this week, as Iceland are set to take on the Netherlands in Reykjavik tomorrow.

Support » Requests and Feedback » Is TinyMCE pissing anyone else off!?
I've been finding that TinyMCE does the most stupid things, such as not spacing correctly when you simply press enter (it seems to have two types of spacing), and it also ads an indent to each new line which is stupid.
And I've also found when using the HTML editor in it, whatever I put in doesn't matter cos it just bloody changes it to whatever it wants!
I don't like it either, but instead of complianing about it I just turn it off as sson as I install a WP 2.0.treelovinhippie
But I'd still like a decent GUI for editting and posting.kwongheng
I think its good enough, but needs more improvement. Editing some of the HTML works well for me. Few issues like when you have an item BOLD and try to unbold it, but pressing bold, it added another STRONG tag to it.nette

I'm right there with you. It's extremely aggravating. I spent a long time writing a page with correct spacing, bold titles, etc. When I posted the page it was a total mess.

I am glad to read this, because I started to doubt myself: I am using wordpress for several weeks now and tiny mce almost made me uninstall everything and search for another blog.
Now I shutted tiny mce down, but it's still annoying that I can't use all codes even if they are valid-xhtml like several br's after each other.

I can see no reason why your keyboard/mouse would not be detected during Windows 7 setup. https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/26775-new-build-z170-usb-3-windows-7-vs-10-a.html Don't particularly want to wipe my SSD and start over, as I had to do that a year ago when my primary drive failed. it happens, sometimes the MS default drivers on an install just arent compatible at the start.Click to expand... Alternatively, I could upgrade to Windows 10 on my computer as is, and then see if I get charged for a new OS when I change to the new motherboard.
If it is an Intel, you will more than likely find it has Intel USB. check over here How can a Horror from Beyond Reason reliably communicate with mortals? Irv S. one bent pin is all it took Thanks all for the suggestions..
What risks would I be taking? Thanks Plug in Pray. So, that makes me think that I could use the USB 2 port (for my keyboard and mouse) when I connect my SSD to the new motherboard. his comment is here As I need to tear my existing apart and remove the specific MB drivers before connecting to a new MB, I was looking for more information before making the switch.
It almost sounds like you need to install MSI's drivers for this to work, but that would be a numbskull move on their part. Why am I exploding during lightning storms? Accept This Answer · Accepted Answer · Reports: · Posted 6 years ago Top ProstheticHead Posts: 3281 This post has been reported.
I might even be wrong about the Kernel and maybe the system is simply missing the modules (Drivers) to function properly.

mails LOL!! I think you mean for booting from USB3? If the keyboard and mouse still doesn't work even on Windows 8.x setup, then it's likely something dodgy is up with your motherboard. I boot up using hiren's boot CD, no mouse and no keyboard there either.
Have a play with the BIOS settings yourself along the lines I mentioned, meanwhile I'll do some more research... –misha256 Dec 11 '14 at 18:38 I have combed through asked 2 years ago viewed 74114 times active 1 year ago Related 0Keyboard and Mouse stuck unexpectedly in Linux and restart automatically in Windows?5Windows 7 can't find driver - deactivates keyboard But I would not carry over a power supply, for the cost of a new one is cheaper than the risk of the old one failing. My thought was to transfer my hard drives, power supply, DVD player, and graphics card to a Z170 machine.
First of all, I wish to apologize if I break any forum rules, but when I tried to visit the page I kept getting "MediaWiki internal error." followed by a long Or....update to Windows 10 now, and then move?

If no luck... no go, remove 2 sticks of memory and try again.

Yale Strom (violin, composer, filmmaker, writer, photographer, playwright) is a pioneer among revivalists in conducting extensive field research in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans among the Jewish and Rom communities. Initially, his work focused primarily on the use and performance of klezmer music among these two groups. Gradually, his focus increased to examining all aspects of their culture, from post-World War II to the present. From more than 2 decades and 70 such research expeditions, Strom has become the world's leading ethnographer-artist of klezmer music and history.
His klezmer research was instrumental in helping form the repertoires of his klezmer band, Hot Pstromi in New York and San Diego . Since Strom's first band began in 1981, he has been composing his own New Jewish music, which combines klezmer with Hasidic nigunim , Rom, jazz, classical, Balkan and Sephardic motifs. These compositions range from quartets to a symphony, which premiered with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. He composed original music for the Denver Center production of Tony Kushner's The Dybbuk . He also composed all the New Jewish music for the National Public Radio series Fiddlers, Philosophers & Fools: Jewish Short Stories from the Old World to the New , hosted by Leonard Nimoy, as well as numerous film and dance scores. Strom is also one of the only top composers of Jewish music to carry on the tradition of writing original songs, with Yiddish lyrics, about humanitarian and social issues. His twelve CDs run the gamut of traditional klezmer to "new" Jewish music. His CD, Garden of Yidn , debuted in the Top 20 of Canada's major music critic's poll. His CD, Klezmer: Cafe Jew Zoo was released by Naxos World Records in June of 2003 to international acclaim. Strom has performed with many world renown musicians including Andy Statman, Mark Dresser, Marty Ehrlich, Mark O'Connor, Alicia Svigals, Salman Ahmad, et al.
Yale Strom was the first klezmer violinist to be invited to instruct master classes at both the American String Teachers Association and the Mark O'Connor Fiddle Camp. Strom's research has also resulted in photo documentary books, documentary films, as well as CD recordings. He is the author of The Book of Klezmer: The History, The Music, The Folklore ( 2002)" is a 400 page history with original photos and sheet music gathered by Strom during his sixty-plus ethnographic trips to Central and Eastern Europe. A Wandering Feast: A Journey Through the Jewish Culture of Eastern Europe written in collaboration with his wife, Elizabeth Schwartz, is part cookbook, part travelogue (2005). He is also the author of The Absolutely Complete Klezmer Songbook (2006). His first children's book The Black Wedding will be published in 2008.

1. DARE to HOPE
…for the best…to be your best.
2. CHOOSE LIVING to YOUR FULLEST
…your best in your situation.
For more information about the above, refer to Part 1 of this blog series.
3. CHOOSE to BE LOVED…FOREVER
Who loves you just the way you are?
The One who made you does!
Yes! You're loved incredibly. You're loved by our Maker – because of His goodness, not based on what you've done, but what He's done.
Since earlier this year, I've claimed Gavin Mikhail's cover of "Just the Way You Are" as a love song from the One who made me. God's always faithfully provided for me, especially through the toughest of times in my life – better than anyone on this earth could.
Do you want to know more about God's redeeming love, His gift of life forever?
I care about you too. I love you, my neighbour living "beside" me in this world! Your life counts!
Choose to accept unconditional love that has nothing to do with what you've done.
"Love your neighbour as yourself"
Do you love your neighbours to your fullest – especially those dearest and closest to you? Do you love them with this unconditional love that has nothing to do with their actions? Love without quitting. Love never fails!
Choose to love others in the best way you can….the ways which mean the most to them: using the best words, actions and touch.
Take Care of Yourself
Do you take good care of yourself, living and loving to your fullest, healthy and balanced in all areas of life?
Spiritual? Are you taking steps to living and loving to your fullest forever?
Social? Are you choosing contact with – and loving to your fullest – your family, friends, colleagues and "neighbours" that you share this world with?
Do you make reasonable effort to bless your 'neighbours' and those who'll come after us by caring for your environment?
Emotional and mental? Are you enjoying your life, with time for fun and laughs?
Are you facing and conquering things that affect you negatively? How much are these limiting you from loving and living to your fullest?
- Grief over lost or failed relationships perhaps due to abuse, abandonment, separation or death?
- Addiction to alcohol, nicotine, other drugs, self-harm, self-injury or overeating?
- Anxiety and depression?
- Offense and anger?
- Frustration?
- Anger?
- Fear?
In coming posts, you'll hear about things that kept me awake all night, sent me into panic attacks and even hiding under my desk at work…and what spiders taught me about success.
Physical? Do you eat and drink well, exercise, rest and sleep adequately and manage anything that can affect these (and your other areas of health)?
My chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia (including bilateral carpal tunnel symptoms) are improving with rest, aerobic exercise, core strengthening and stretches. I'll share more about this in coming posts.
Intellectual? Do you make time to stretch your mind through observation, watching, listening, interacting with others, reading and writing?
Occupational? How do you use your time and resources to give to our world, supporting yourself and others financially and/or in other ways?
So much to balance! What are your priorities? Do you have a system to work out what's most important? More about this in Part 5 of this series of blog posts 🙂
Choose to be loved as you are, and do the same for others: Love is forever. Love forever!
Coming up in the Parts 3 to 5: Six more ways to loving and living to your fullest, whatever your circumstances…
May you be blessed, loving and living beyond your wildest dreams! Tell us in the comments what you've decided to choose to do differently.

After finishing work on the upgrade of its police department's emergency communications system and expanding the crime scene investigation and evidence storage facility, Coral Springs will now use 2014 public safety bond money to construct a new Safety Town building at Kiwanis Park. City voters had approved $12.45 million in general obligation bonds.
City officials approved the city signing a contract with Atlantic Engineering Services Inc., a Greenacres-based firm, for the construction of a permanent Safety Town building that is used for the Summer Safety Town program by non-profit groups and for the Police School Safety Program. The project cost is $694,500.
The existing Safety Town building was originally purchased as a temporary building; the city initially had planned to use the facility only until funding was available to build a permanent building. Now almost 20 years later and after major repairs, staff members have concluded that the building is beyond repair. The proposed building will have restrooms, an office and a meeting room area.
Membership cards for city seniors: The City Commission has approved Commissioner Joy Carter's idea to introduce membership cards for seniors in the city. Carter is in charge of the city's Senior Advisory Committee.
The membership cards, which will be sold at the health fair organized by the city next month, will cost $12. The money generated from the sale of the cards will be used to support programs for seniors in the city.
"When I took over, budget was a big issue and it still is," Carter said, explaining her plan to sell the cards to seniors and generate additional dollars. "We are the only city that does not charge for senior programming at all. We are talking $12."
City's master plan for water, sewerage: Water and sewer rates will rise 3.5 percent from Oct. 1 this year; the increase is based on a study that the city had done a few years ago. The additional revenue will be used for operating costs and also to fund ongoing capital improvement projects.
"Infrastructure in the city has been here for 50 years, some less," Mayor Skip Campbell said. "The city needs to have funds available for repair. Unfortunately, the only way to get it is through increase in rates."
The city has spent about $35 million in the last five or six years for improving water and sewer infrastructure, said City Manager Erdal Donmez. The 10-year master plan includes $75 million worth of improvements.

sorry elizabeth, i miss read that. he thinks you dont trust him? interesting. likely that is also from past experiences; he must have been with people that didn't trust him. not sure why it would be so bothersome to you though vs. him not trusting you. it is his issue, let him work it out naturally as well. if you love him, be patient and see. you are 18, not sure how old he is but maturing a bit will likely help if he is also young. Boys do not mature as quickly as girls.

hi. tough to answer with any direct ideas since you didnt say why he doesnt trust you. if his general nature is to not trust, obviously he has issues from previous experiences. it's up to you; you can have patients and just be yourself and it may come natural that he will see that you are trustworthy or if you have been with him for two years etc, and he still doesn't, he probably never will. All you can do is be you and allow him to be him.

Dear Elizabeth,
You don't. If he doesn't trust you from the start then move on to someone who isn't so suspicious.

Dermalogica Gentle Soothing Booster Protects Sensitive Skin
Dermalogica's Gentle Soothing Booster is one of the many highly regarded products created for sensitive skin by this company. The Dermalogica skin care system was developed in 1986 by the International Dermal Institute to create skin care products that would bring results, healing irritated skin and protecting it from the environment without using harsh ingredients. They knew there had to be a better way to encourage smoother healthier skin than by using fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol or other ingredients that can damage or irritate skin.
Through the latest advances of science and technology Dermalogica has some of the best products for sensitive skin as well as normal skin. The key ingredients in these products include natural substances such as honey and plant extracts.
One of Dermalogica's best products for sensitive skin is their Gentle Soothing Booster. This is a great lotion for calming and hydrating inflamed or sensitive skin. Its oil-free, soothing botanicals are great for any skin, but its herbal extracts especially help protect sensitive skin.
It only takes a small dab of this product whose main ingredients are natural red raspberry extract, chamomile extract, cornflower and honey massaged into clean skin to receive the concentrated effects of soothing, calming and hydrating your sensitive skin. If you have skin that tends to get irritated easily due to acne or other irritants, the natural red raspberry extract along with the flower extracts will help reduce this irritation, while the honey re-moisturizes.
Dermalogica products have been used on the set of several PBS series including Providence, Ally McBeal, Spin City and Boston Public. This indicates the high regard for this company's products because only the best skin care products are used by actors and actresses.
What everyday people say about the Gentle Soothing Booster is that it is very effective, although it may be a little pricey. I have found this product for sensitive skin can run anywhere from $24 at Amazon.com to $45 at GreatSkin.com, one of the pioneers of virtual skin care, for a 1 oz. bottle. At GreatSkin.com you will receive a discount after your first purchase of any product and the discount goes up with every purchase up to your 20th purchase and then remains at that level of discount. They do stand behind their products and offer only the best in skin care.
So if you're looking for a quick way to reduce the redness of irritated skin, especially of the face, then one of the best products for sensitive skin can be found in Dermalogica's Gentle Soothing Booster. I believe you will be happy with the results.

Mumbai: At the peak of the shipping industry boom in 2007, Mercator Lines Ltd decided to diversify its business, a decision that predictably met with little approval from experts and analysts.
The decision to branch out into the energy business has partially shielded Mercator from the tough times its peers in the shipping industry are facing because of an oversupply of vessels, low freight rates and mounting losses.
The right time: Managing director Atul Agarwal says that though many criticized the decision to expand to other businesses, Mercator felt it was the right time to do as it had cash then.
"The shipping industry was enjoying golden years during 2005-2007, with high freight rates," Atul J. Agarwal, managing director of the company, said in an interview. "But during internal discussions, we felt that good things will also come to an end. Though many criticized (the move), we felt that it was the right time to expand into other businesses as we had cash then."
Mercator, which dropped "Lines" from its name in November to reflect its new businesses, has since ventured into the coal mining, offshore services, dredging and oil exploration-industries that are less cyclical than shipping. For Mercator, the gamble has paid off. It has maintained its profitability even as Shipping Corp. of India Ltd (SCI), the nation's biggest ocean carrier, reported losses.
Watch Video
Mint's P R Sanjai says the outlook for Indian shipping remains bleak and that private players like Mercator are diversifying.
"We would like to be known as (an) energy and transportation company in the next three years," said Agarwal, 54.
Mercator is now in talks with investment bankers for selling shares to the public in its coal mining business for the first time next year, said Agarwal. The company has two coal mines in Indonesia and one in Mozambique. Mercator is also in talks with an Indonesian firm to purchase a coal mine.
Shipping companies are now facing one of the worst times in history, with seaborne trading volume falling 60% since 2007. Mercator posted a net profit of Rs 21.4 crore in the six months ended 30 September on sales of Rs 1,584 crore, with the coal business contributing 60% of the revenue, shipping 30%, 5% from dredging, and the rest from services to offshore oil exploration.
In comparison, state-run SCI posted a loss for a third consecutive time in the quarter ended September.
On the other hand, the largest private sector shipping company, Great Eastern Shipping Co. Ltd (GE Shipping), managed to report a net profit in the September quarter, because the company's offshore business has performed comparatively better than the shipping business and boosted the company's overall performance.
The financial turmoil across the world has adversely affected the vessel freight rates, with shipowners continuing to scrap vessels since the economic recession, according to rating agency Credit Analysis and Research Ltd (CARE).
"The flow of vessel deliveries during the period of January–September 2011, aggregating 73.8 million gross tonnes, further compounded the problem of shipowners with the existent global fleet already in overcapacity," CARE said in a November report.
To be sure, SCI always wanted to diversify into other sectors including offshore, but the company's chairman and managing, S. Hajara, said it is not a great idea to difersify when the economy is slowing.
"I have not seen a recession to this extent for shipping, and in the last 25 years, we have not seen this level of freight rates. Overall, the industry is getting beaten from all sides, including freight rates, rupee depreciation and excess supply," said B.K. Mandal, director of finance at SCI. "But the offshore segment is doing comparatively better among other shipping verticals."
Mercator spotted the opportunity of offshore services at the right time and "spread the risk", said another senior executive at a leading consulting firm, requesting anonymity. "When the company had cash, it bravely explored new avenues. Offshore has assured enough cushion for Mercator."
Mercator entered the offshore services sector by acquiring a jack-up oil drilling rig in 2007 to help companies explore oil. But the company later sold its two rigs and exited the business. In 2010, Mercator won a contract for providing a floating production unit from the UK's Afren Plc. This floating production unit is a mix of a mobile offshore production unit (Mopu) and a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO). These are central to a crude oil production and processing facility for an oil field.
On 17 November, a consortium grouping Mercator and Gulf Piping Co. WLL of Abu Dhabi was awarded a contract by Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd. for conversion of its mobile offshore drilling unit (Modu) to Mopu.
"The rig was a commodity business. Mopu and FSO are part of the production process and are specially designed for the company's requirements. It cannot be replaced by any other Mopu, like a rig. So we are on the revenue side of an oil company with long-term contracts," Agarwal said.
The consultant cited earlier said Brazil requires more than 50 FSOs while other parts of the world will need 100, and India five more. Mercator plans to bid for more business opportunities on this side.
Agarwal admitted that Mercator has not made much progress in oil exploration. The company has two oil blocks in India in the Cambay basin in western Gujarat.
"We are currently doing a seismic survey on the blocks. We are open to having partners for exploring these wells after surveys," Agarwal said.
Not everyone is convinced about Mercator's strategy. Even though Manish Saigal, partner (advisory services) and national industry head of transport and logistics at consulting firm KPMG India Pvt. Ltd, endorses the idea of creating a counter-cyclical business to cut dependency on shipping, he says the businesses should be synergestic and closely linked with a company's core business.
When a company builds unrelated lines of businesses, the capital market tends to discount valuations, Saigal said.
Mercator, however, has no plans to exit the shipping business.
"Shipping gave credibility to us and we have no plans to exit shipping or downsize," Agarwal said. "On the contrary, we are not averse to buy old or new ships. There are no immediate acquisition plans; the purchase plans would be opportunity-based."
The company has plans to buy more dredging ships that are into deepening shipping channels near a port. Mercator owns six dredgers.
