Tribute to the Late Siddarth Rattu

It is with great sadness that after a short illness and courageous battle with an illness that the son of the Late Nanak Chand Rattu, Siddarth Rattu has passed away.\r\n\r\nSiddarth Rattu visited the Wolverhampton Buddha Vihara on a number of occasions, and along with his father and family, was responsible for preserving important personal effects of Dr B. R. Ambedkar.\r\n\r\nSiddarth brought with him on every visit some of Dr Ambedkar’s possessions, these included:\r\n

  • His Ink Pen.
  • \r\n

  • Rare photo’s.
  • \r\n

  • Graduation gown.
  • \r\n

  • His walking stick.
  • \r\n

  • Copies of his handwriting.
  • \r\n

  • His Indian Parliament Security Pass.
  • \r\n

  • Round table conference photographs.
  • \r\n

  • Degree and doctorate certificates
  • \r\n

\r\nThe Dr Ambedkar Memorial Committee are very grateful to the Late Nanak Chand Rattu (personal secretary of Dr B. R. Ambedkar) and the Late Siddarth Rattu as well as his family for entrusting them with these historically important personal effects of Dr B. R Ambedkar.\r\n\r\nThese personal effects are on display in the Dr Ambedkar meuseum which is on the site of the Wolverhampton Buddha Vihara.  These personal effects have been taken to Italy for people to see there, they have been displayed in Bedford at a Dr Ambedkar remembrance function.  There has been a request by supporters of the Dr Ambedkar’s mission to take these personal effects to Canada for them to see.\r\n\r\n

How to get your child ready for school – the health perspective!

As that time of year is quickly approaching I’m a little stunned, doesn’t it feel like summer just started?

Well, as you are planning for the big return to school, I’m sure you’re thinking about clothes, shoes, books, and other supplies. You may also be thinking about that switch back to an earlier bedtime and cutting down on the summer treats. Here are a few, simple things you can think about to help ensure your child stays healthy too.

If your child is getting a physical, as many do for sports, ask your doctor to check his or her Vitamin D levels. Just because you’ve been out in the sun all summer doesn’t mean these levels are adequate. Vitamin D is a huge part of your immune system and all you have to do to fix it is to take a little in a supplement. Plus it comes in a chocolate chewable!

Think vegetables! Yes, it’s every child’s favorite topic! Vegetables are loaded with the nutrients we all need to keep our immune systems in tip-top shape. Try to think of creative ways to get them in. You can put a high quality greens powder in a smoothie with dark berries. You can even slice up kale into tiny pieces and hide it in meatloaf.

And lastly, as much as you may not want to talk about it, you need to know how often your child poops. The goal is to have a bowel movement at least once a day. I think I’ve ,entwined this before, but remember that this is your body’s way of taking out the trash. If that stuff stays inside for too long, not only will your child get tummy-aches, but it will also lower their immune defenses. And, we all know how fun it was to have to poop when you’re at school, so many kids end up ‘holding it’. Try to make sure they ‘go’ before they go.

Somebody Thinks I Think, I Think

Thinking Blogger Award

Julie (of the blog High Fiber Content) has nominated me for the Thinking Blogger Award! Which, whoa.

In order to claim my award, I have to link to five blogs that make me think. Which, upon reflection, was harder to do than I thought it would be: I really ONLY read blogs that make me think, because I prefer thinking to almost any other form of activity. (Except, perhaps, roller-skating.)

Anyway, here are the five blogs that routinely make me think HARD, in alphabetical order:

Fashion Incubator. I love to read Kathleen's blog, because I like to know what goes on behind the curtain of the garment industry, and she pulls it all the way back.

I Blame the Patriarchy. Twisty is helping me try to reduce my complicity in the patriarchial system. Somewhat. I'm working on it.

Jane In Progress. Again, another blog that pulls back the curtain, this time on television. I love to see how things work with their cunning gears and wires! And Jane shows how scripts work. And jokes. And lunch. Delish.

Raw Thought (from Aaron Swartz). Is it cheating to nominate a blog with "thought" right in its title for a Thinking Blogger award?

Think Denk. I know NOTHING about classical music, and in the real 'nothing' sense, not the "I know NOTH-ink!" Hogan's Heroes Schultz sense. But when I read this blog I can sometimes see things swimming toward me out of the fog.

Thank you, Julie, for nominating me!

  1. Erin, your blog makes me think more than any other, and that’s why I read it regularly. I’m glad to see you being recognized in this way.It’s also SO great to see someone naming “thinking” as their almost very favourite activity!Thanks for showing the way to those other blogs; I checked out I Blame the Patriarchy, and laughed and enjoyed and felt that I hadn’t seen anything cutting through the murk that way for a LONG time.(This is not groupie-ism! Just thought that after you referred to yourself as having been pointed out as a thinking blogger, you deserved a comment!)

  2. Thanks for the links. I went to read Aaron Swartz’s blog and got stuck over there. Now I’ve added it to my blog list and I really should cull the ones I don’t read any more. Yours however, is not one of those!

  3. Wow, congratulations! Well-deserved. You sure make me think! You lure me in with all the pretty dresses and the next thing I know we’re covering the unreliability of intercultural translation (April 27) or the wonkiness of website merchandising (April 24) or office politics (April 19). Keep on thinking!

Manufacturing India-Car

With a sustained labour cost advantage and a working population estimated to top 850 million before the end of the decade, India is destined to become the second most competitive manufacturing destination globally, leaving behind countries like the US and Germany.

The new National Manufacturing Policy is to help the Indian manufacturing sector increase its share of the country’s GDP from 15% currently to 25% by 2022. It will require a compound annual growth rate of 14%, raising the sector’s total output to approximately $650 billion by 2022, and making India the world’s fifth-largest manufacturing nation, up from ninth currently.

India today has one of the least skilled manpower among the top manufacturing nations. Firstly, only 17% of those entering the workforce are skilled. Secondly, the quality of skilling remains a big challenge—amongst the skilled workforce, a mere 5% of workers are classified as highly skilled, and a staggering 64% are associated with a very low level of skilling. As a result, despite having a seemingly limitless supply of low-cost labour, over 65% of Indian firms face difficulty in filling vacancies with rightly skilled workers.

Some manufacturing sectors in India such as automobiles and Pharma are already well on the way of becoming globally competitive.

The automobile industry account for 22% of the country’s manufacturing GDP.

According to Ministry of Heavy Industry and Public Enterprises, the total turnover of the Indian automobile industry was estimated at USD 73 billion and exports were estimated to be USD 11 billion in the year 2010–11. The announced cumulative investments in this sector were USD 30 billion during this period. The main automobile clusters are based around Chennai, Gurgaon, Pune, Ahmedabad, Aurangabad, Jamshedpur, Greater Noida and Bangalore. Chennai is the biggest hub accounting for 60% of Indian auto exports.

While Maruti Suzuki is still at top of the market share, Hyundai, Tata Motors, M&M, Honda, GM India, and Mercedes Benz are also major players. Nissan, Renault, BMW, and Fiat are also present.

World’s almost all auto manufacturers have set up plants in India. Volkswagen and Skoda in its facilities in Aurangabad and Chakan are producing top ends and mass market models respectively.

Ford India is setting up its second plant at Sanand for the plant, its second in India, in September 2011 and laid the foundation in March 2012. The Rs 4,500-crore plant will have an initial capacity of 240,000 cars and 270,000 engines. Its first plant near Chennai has a capacity for 200,000 cars and 340,000 engines. Commercial roll-out of the first vehicle will happen in the first half of 2015.

India automobile sector has grown significantly over the years. It can develop the cars that the people are looking for. The quality of the products is pretty good. If an automobile sector is any indication of the manufacturing strength, India is certainly a manufacturing power.

Lamborghini Countach LP400 vs. De Tomaso Pantera

Drive-my and Julian Mackie

Lamborghini vs. De Tomaso chasing the ultimate thrill. Can crossbreed Pantera humble pedigree Countach? Wildest Wedges Pantera takes on Countach for the supercar crown. Blue collar or blue blood? Can a £75k De Tomaso hold a candle to Lamborghini’s £1m masterpiece. Is a £1m Lamborghini really worth a dozen times more than a De Tomaso? Greg MacLeman unleashes Pantera and Countach in search of the greatest ’70s supercar. Photography Julian Mackie.

Imagine a visitor from another world with no prior knowledge of the intricacies of British politics stumbling across David Miliband standing in the road. Then, drawing alongside, his brother Ed. From a distance the similarities are plain to see, but take a few steps closer and, despite their family resemblance, the two could not be more different. Like screaming and yawning – only there’s nothing boring about either of these game-changing supercars.

Lamborghini Countach LP400 vs. De Tomaso Pantera

Lamborghini Countach LP400 vs. De Tomaso Pantera

By the late 1960s, Lamborghini had taken a comprehensive lead over De Tomaso in the hunt for ever-increasing top speeds. With the Miura, Sant’Agata was the reigning champion, while its rival was reeling from the perceived failure of the incredibly beautiful yet dynamically challenged Mangusta. As a result, it was all to play for at the turn of the next decade.

The Pantera project began as a marriage of convenience between Argentine-born Alejandro De Tomaso – who controlled Ghia and Vignale – and Ford, which desperately required a halo sports car with which to take on the Chevrolet Corvette. The Blue Oval duly offered De Tomaso a plentiful supply of V8s, pledging $2m in financing as well as access to its network of Lincoln-Mercury dealerships. The schedule was tight, though, and when the Tom Tjaarda-penned Pantera went on display at the 1971 New York Auto Show it was far from a finished product.

Lamborghini Countach LP400 vs. De Tomaso Pantera

Early examples were plagued by issues ranging from overheating to air-conditioning units devoid of refrigerant, each car needing a considerable number of man-hours to put faults right when it arrived from Modena at Bill Stroppe’s shop in Long Beach, California. Yet despite the questionable quality control and a wary reception from the motoring press, the Pantera was light years ahead of the Mangusta – thanks in large part to its Giampaolo Dallara-engineered chassis, courtesy of the former Sant’Agata man who had helped to mastermind the Miura.

Lamborghini’s task was arguably more challenging: to improve upon the model that had almost single-handedly created the supercar segment and to fend off a resurgent Ferrari, which had its 365GT4 Berlinetta Boxer in the pipeline. Sant’Agata fired its opening salvo at the Geneva Salon in March 1971, where it revealed the extraordinary LP500 concept – the car that would become the Countach LP400. Perhaps even more than the Pantera, the gestation of the new model was a complicated process that involved a change of tack from the semi-monocoque of the prototype to a tubular spaceframe chassis reminiscent of a Porsche 917, while the longitudinally mounted V12 was reduced in capacity from five litres to four.

The wedge was king in 1970s car design, but to describe either of these two cars as such would do a great disservice to both Gandini and Tjaarda. The Lamborghini in particular seems to evolve under your gaze, straight lines and angular sharpness giving way to softly sweeping curves. You can almost visualise the pencil swooping over the draughtsman’s table as you trace the undulating outline of the bonnet and the Coke-bottle swage line down each flank.

Lamborghini Countach LP400 vs. De Tomaso Pantera

Lamborghini Countach LP400 vs. De Tomaso Pantera. Angular wedge styling and lurid paintwork place our supercar pairing squarely in the ’70s, but their pace can still trounce that of many a modern vehicle.

Perhaps Gandini’s greatest triumph was the slashed rear arches that add a sense of motion to the styling, paired with black NACA ducts and the cavernous air scoops that were added to the otherwise largely unchanged LP500 concept. The Countach is a different car from each angle – from the front, sleek arrowhead; the tail, pure muscle; and from the side, cruise missile – and in 1974 the wild scissor doors must have seemed like something straight out of a science fiction film. It’s a design that defined a generation of supercars, influencing the visual language of every Lamborghini to leave the factory since. In contrast, the Pantera, perhaps unsurprisingly, boasts a more transatlantic flavour.

Where the Countach is all-Italian supercar, the De Tomaso has muscle car overtones, with bulging, tall rear tyres akin to a top fuel dragster and a meeting of side window and rear wheelarch that brings to mind – if you squint hard enough – Mustang Mach 1 and Buick Skylark.

It’s also clear that the De Tomaso was built, at least in part, to fend off the Richard Teague-styled AMC AMX/3 – although that threat ultimately proved to be empty.

Both Countach and Pantera share a striking similarity from behind, with each tail slanting aggressively and sharing a flat deck leading to a barely functional vertical rear window. In a rare nod to practicality, ‘our’ Lamborghini has small door mirrors – a feature notably absent from the Pantera. In truth, though, regardless of which car you’re driving you might as well have a passenger carrying a red flag should you ever need to reverse. Or, in the case of the Countach, master the art of the ‘pitlane prowl’ and back up with the driver’s door raised.

Lamborghini Countach LP400 road test

Lamborghini Countach LP400 road test. Clockwise: even today, few cars can match the sheer drama of the Lamborghini; small three-spoke wheel with Raging Bull centre; inlets duct cooling air to vast engine; Campagnolos and period-correct XWXs; V12 was carried over from the Miura, but is mounted longitudinally in Countach. From top: Lambo’s cabin is pure theatre with highly stylised seats and vast transmission tunnel; De Tomaso remarkably conventional inside; both cars provide huge drama out on the public road.

In engineering terms, the Lamborghini is a curious mix of old and new; a cutting-edge lightweight aluminium body draped over a complex spaceframe and mated to a four-litre V12 – based on that of the Miura – sitting amidships. Unlike its transverse-engined predecessor, the LP400’s transmission is located ahead of the engine between driver and passenger; power is channelled forward to the gearbox and then back – via a shaft passing through the sump– to the differential, and on to each rear wheel. As well as allowing for a remarkably short wheelbase, the layout negates the need for a lengthy gear linkage, resulting in a pure and delightfully mechanical shift.

In contrast, DeTomaso opted to place the ZF transmission behind the differential, with the engine ahead of the axle line. ‘Students of race car design will immediately notice that all major components are in the right place,’ noted Road Test’s John Ethridge in period, and in many ways the Pantera proved a spiritual successor to the GT40, proving to be a useful tool in Group 4 racing. Its sub-structure closely matched that of Ford’s Le Mans winner, too, while the drag coefficient was found to be practically identical.

At its heart, the Pantera boasts the fruit of De Tomaso’s partnership with the Blue Oval – a thumping 351cu in (5.8-litre) ‘Cleveland’ V8. If the Lamborghini’s engine is a scalpel, then the Pantera’s is a sledgehammer; the pushrod unit is as simple as they come, but with that simplicity come reliability, tunability and tractability that helped the model to endure.

You instantly know where you stand when you hear the DeTomaso’s V8 burble, unlike its rival. Any sense of familiarity afforded by the steering being on the correct side of the Countach – it’s one of only 17 right-hand-drive examples built – soon evaporates as you lift the bonkers door and slide into the outlandish, high-backed leather seat.

De Tomaso Pantera road test

Though more reserved than that of a Miura, the cabin reeks of Italian style and 1970s flamboyance, complete with an upright driving position and a pedal arrangement that demands careful placing of penny loafers.

Turning the key kicks the fuel pump into action, a series of clicks and whirrs accompanying the priming of six twin-choke sidedraught Webers, the engine bursting into life with a tickle of the throttle. Fly-off handbrake released, the gearlever slots into the dogleg first with ease and you release the clutch pedal, which has a high biting point and long travel. Judicious use of revs prevents stalling, which owner Stephen Ward says can be a problem if you’re not used to the car’s foibles. Newcomers can expect an ungainly and nervous start before they and the Countach become better acquainted – horse riders will know the sensation well – but confidence grows with each shift through the stiff, purposeful ’box. Being more aggressive with the throttle is rewarded with a V12 roar accompanied by great lungfuls of air and fuel being gulped by the intakes.

Shallow wheelarches limit suspension travel, but even on bumpy roads the Countach absorbs imperfections beautifully, cornering flat and encouraging you to press on through long sweepers before burying the throttle to power up approaching hills. Blind crests provide the opportunity to test the brakes, which show their age but haul up the LP400 straight and true.

De Tomaso Pantera road test

De Tomaso Pantera road test. Clockwise: aggressive wedge profile was the work of American designer Tom Tjaarda; ‘Cleveland’ V8 is set well forward; stylish Campagnolo alloy wheel; upside-down Alfa GTV lights look bespoke; cockpit is dominated by hooded dials, with further gauges in centre console angled towards driver.

After a while we pull over and hand the controls back to the owner; he turns the volume up to 11 with a masterclass in double-declutching, firing through the gearbox like a pro and pressing the needle to the far reaches of the dial – a process in which he visibly delights. The blinding speed of the Countach eclipsed all its rivals in period, from Ferrari Boxer to Porsche 911 turbo, and 40 years later you could still drive all year without coming across anything quicker. While the Pantera joins the line of cars soon to become a speck in the Lamborghini’s rearview mirror, it puts up a better fight than most.

The De Tomaso tops out at around 139mph, but holds up well under real-world conditions, being just two tenths of a second slower to 60mph. Unlike the Lamborghini, which sounds remarkably subdued at tickover, the Pantera’s quad exhausts emit a sinister V8 rumble at idle, rising to a deafening crescendo when the hammer is really down. Winding the car up quickly can be a touch frustrating initially, due to a slow shift from first to second and then third to fourth, but for anything other than a 0-60mph dash the leisurely gearchange and long throw shouldn’t bother you. The Pantera’s greatest party trick is its ability to be driven at walking pace and through heavy traffic with all the ease of a modern-day hatchback, great waves of torque wafting it along in almost any gear.

Its handling qualities are a huge improvement over the Mangusta, but trail its Italian rival on the undulating and twisting roads of the Peak District. As noted by period road testers, the Pantera is prone to understeer when pushing hard, and it’s a trait that surfaces during our photo-shoot, though not an altogether unwelcome one. It’s a process that happens gradually, and is far more forgiving than many midengined cars, which can break away with little warning – the last thing you want shortly after glancing at the insurance statement and seeing what each of our duo would cost to replace.

Though there’s a clear disparity in the value of the two cars – at around £75k, you’d have to sell a dozen Panteras to raise the funds for an LP400 – both are appreciating, and each of our custodians was wise enough to open his wallet at the right time. DeTomaso owner Michael Fisher explains: “Prices were rising so quickly, we decided that if we didn’t buy one then it might never happen.”

Soaring values have also affected LP400 prices, but owner Stephen Ward is quick to point out the relativity of classic values: “When I bought the Countach in South Africa 20-plus years ago, the money would have got me a detached house with a swimming pool and two-car garage in a nice area. Now? It would get me about the same.”

But which of these exotics would win a place in your garage depends on much more than bank balance alone. One offers true supercar performance that is unlikely to be fully tested on the road, along with a sense of drama and theatre that have seldom been repeated. The other is a problem child come good, an uncommonly successful blend of Italian styling and American engineering that seems greater than the sum of its parts. The LP400is a car that made more sense in the days of Mel Nichols’ continental blasts for Car on empty autostradas, while the Pantera, damned by Road &Track as ‘another high-priced kit car’, seems a more attractive proposition than ever before.

The technologically superior Lamborghini certainly lives up to every expectation born of posters on bedroom walls and dog-eared decks of Top Trumps, but the more time I spend with the Pantera the more I am reminded of a quote attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci: la semplicità è l’ultima sofisticazione – simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

THE OWNER Stephen Ward

“When I first heard Maria Callas sing Vissi d’Arte, I became an opera fan, and when I saw the Countach I knew I had to own it – it changed my life,” explains Ward, who founded South Africa’s Lamborghini Club. “It was one of two cars imported there,” he recalls and I bought it more than 20 years ago from a guy I’d never met. Now we are firm friends – he’s asked me to drive to Maranello with him in his Ferrari. I scraped together every penny I had and maxed-out all my credit cards to buy the Countach – it ruined me financially for years! But it’s love, you have to have it.

“My mother was old-school and lived through the Blitz, and when I bought it she didn’t speak to me for three weeks. She said that I should have put my money in the bank and saved it for a rainy day.”

“The Lamborghini is just a masterpiece of design,” he enthuses. “It’s not something to drive through London, but on the right day, in the right mood, it’s sheer driving Nirvana. Some of the cogs – it’s like I know them!

“It’s very Italian – a real screamer, even by today’s standards. But it’s been amazingly reliable too. We’ve driven it from York to Goodwood, with all our clothes, clobber for the party, tools and oil, and even a car cover stashed inside.”

THE OWNER Michael Fisher

“I went to Lake Lugano, Switzerland when I was about 14 and saw one outside a hotel,” says Fisher. “To a lad from a northern mining town, a Porsche was something, let alone a car like this. I knew that I had to have one.” “We met De Tomaso guru Mike Drew at Concorso Italiano, and he helped us find a car. It was dragged out of a California barn, where it had been sitting since 1978 up to its hubs in sand. Roger Brotton carried out the restoration. It takes a bit of warming up and reverse can be tricky, but it rolls along quite smoothly and it’s a thing of absolute beauty. I love the designs of that period – it was the last time that people really pushed – but the most remarkable thing is the noise!”

The alternatives

Anyone in the market for a Miura – or those holding out for a Countach – would have given Ferrari’s Boxer a close inspection at its 1971 debut. Following on from the Dino, it was one of the first mid-engined Ferrari road cars, and a 4.4-litre flat- 12 gave it true supercar levels of performance. It cost a whisker less than the Lambo (and is about £350k today), while the Leonardo Fioravanti styling was more restrained than the otherworldly LP400.

The first turbocharged 911 came along in 1975, upping the model’s power output to a previously unheard of 260bhp, which increased to 300bhp with the arrival of the 3.3-litre variant in 1978. Despite fewer cylinders than the Countach and Pantera, in the right hands the Porsche out-accelerated both. At roughly similar money to the De Tomaso (£80,000+), this German coupé is as difficult to overlook today as it was in period.

The Trident’s first foray into the world of mid-engined road cars had Lamborghini firmly in its sights, but is today around one fifth of the price of an LP400 at £150-200k. At its heart was a 4.7-litre quad-cam V8 from the 450S, while the styling was masterminded by Giugiaro. It gave away power and sprint speed to both of our duo, but it boasts a vast cabin and a rear window you can see out of, while it’s V8 makes cruising a doddle.

This road patch makes pothole repairs last longer

The American Road Patch is like a bandage for the road that seals out water to help keep potholes full

Article content

Canadian drivers are no strangers to the pothole. We’ve all swerved to avoid one, slowed to crawl through one or had to wait behind a person holding a stop sign on a pole while a crew worked to fill one.

No, there’s no such thing as a good experience with a pothole, which is why the best kind is the filled kind, and also why this product that purports to help keep them that way for longer is so intriguing.

It’s called the American Road Patch and it’s basically a big bandage with adhesive that bonds to concrete and asphalt surfaces on one side and a road-like texture on the other.

Story continues below

Article content

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
Try refreshing your browser, or
tap here to see other videos from our team.

As the video explains, pothole repairs fail when the hole isn’t properly sealed and water gets in to the affected area, sometimes as quickly as just a few days after being filled. But when the patch is placed over the filled hole, it provides a superior seal that keeps the moisture out longer.

“American Road Patch because it’s placed over the existing pothole and immediately adheres to and actually becomes part of the road,” the host of the video explains.

“Where American Road Patch has been used it has provided years of maintenance-free service. Over the long run, [it] saves time and money over conventional methods of pothole repair.”

The product, which is has a protective cover that you literally peel off of the sticky side just like a Band Aid, is currently in place on U.S. interstates, on state and county roads and in driveways, and has been tested mostly in the company’s home state of Alabama, far from the frozen highways of the Northern States and Canada.

Will it work up here where frost heave regularly upsets the contours of our nation’s roads? There’s a ‘where to buy’ section on the company’s website that includes Canada, so if you get one for that stubborn pothole in your driveway and test it out this year, please let us know.

Piracy, a continuous threat for ships: Why incident reporting is vital

By June 18, 2020Industry News

Maritime Piracy: Latest Developments

In mid-May,a total of six pirates attacked a Stolt Tankers tanker, named Stolt Apal, 75 nautical miles off Yemen’s coast. After multiple warning shots were fired by the armed guard team aboard Stolt Apal, the skiffs opened fire on the ship. The armed guard team returned fire, disabling one skiff and ending the pursuit. In addition, the bridge area sustained minor damages from bullets but there were no injuries, no pollution and no cargo impacted on Stolt Apal.

In its Q1 2020 report, the ReCAAP ISC reported a three-fold increase of the incidents that took place between January-March 2020, in comparison to the same months last year. The increase of incidents was observed in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore Strait. The report highlights that the rise of incidents onboard vessels while underway in the Singapore Strait during January-March 2020 is of great concern. All the incidents reported in Indonesia and the Philippines occurred on board ships at anchor/berth.

Furthermore, ReCAAP ISC focuses on the alarming issue of crew abduction in the Sulu-Celebes Seas and waters off Eastern Sabah. In this context, ReCAAP ISC highlights the need for law enforcement agencies to enhance surveillance, increase patrols and respond promptly to incidents reported by ships in order to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.

Recently, the IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim welcomed latest initiatives to address piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea, which has been a main piracy hotspot in the last years. In particular, Mr. Lim noted the efforts “send a strong and valuable message to the international community with respect to the considerable efforts Nigeria is making to curb piracy and armed robbery against ships in the Gulf of Guinea.“The remarks came after a joint meeting between the government of Nigeria and representatives from organizations in the oil and shipping industries, in late May.

The number of incidents in the Gulf of Guinea decreased in 2019 by 14 incidents, to 67, down from 81 incidents in 2018. However, the number of crew kidnappings in this region increased from 11 in 2018 to 20 incidents in 2019, in which 151 crew in total were reported kidnapped/missing – the highest number so far on record.

Key advice and best practices

On the occasion of the increasing tensions and attacks taking place in the Singapore Strait, Singapore’s Information Fusion Centre (IFC) recommends shipowners to maintain a proper and vigilant lookout, adhere to ship security standard operating procedures, and provide timely reporting of incidents to local authorities.

Also, activate the ship’s AIS at all times, use CCTV cameras for coverage of vulnerable areas (if available) and keep ship’s whistle, search lights and fog horn ready for immediate use. Lastly, it is important to secure all doors and hatches preventing access to the accommodation and machinery spaces and take safety precautionary measures on the anchor cable hawse pipe while anchored.

Reporting is vital

Overall, vessels transiting high risk areas are advised to remain vigilant and adhere to BMP5 while all suspicious activity should be reported. Concerning with piracy and armed robbery emerging as persistent threats in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), the
Gulf of Guinea (GoG) and South East Asia (SEA), ships transiting these areas are encouraged to report to the centres overseeing the Voluntary Reporting Areas (VRAS) to ensure that the military and law enforcement forces are aware of the vessels’ intended sea passages and their vulnerability to an attack.

Routine reporting and incident reporting are essential to enable the centres to best use any assets available to them and to assist in an emergency. Each VRA is defined in the Admiralty Security Maritime Chart (chart) through which vessels transiting can join the respective trusted reporting scheme.

Key points of Contact

In a information note, the Hong Kong Marine Department provides details of the centers per each area where vessels may contact in case of an attack and report any incident. Briefly, the key points of contact are:

The Western Indian Ocean

The VRA of the WIO, including the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman with reference to charts Q6099 and Q6111, is administered under the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) voluntary reporting scheme and the Maritime Security Centre – Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) voluntary registering scheme.

UKMTO is the first point of contact for ships to provide liaison with military forces in the WIO, and MSCHOA is the planning and coordination centre for EU Naval forces (EUNAVFOR).

Ships transiting the VRA of the area are strongly encouraged to send regular reports to
UKMTO while ships sailing within the HRA should register with MSCHOA under the
“Group Transit” scheme.

Hong Kong registered ships when transiting the Gulf of Aden should join the Chinese
Navy Vessels Escort Arrangement if protection is sought.

The Gulf of Guinea (GoG)

The VRA of GoG is administered under the Maritime Domain Awareness for TradeGulf of Guinea (MDAT-GoG) voluntary reporting scheme with reference to chart Q6114.

MDAT-GoG is the first point of contact for ships to provide liaison with military forces and therefore, ships transiting the VRA of the GoG are strongly encouraged to send regular reports to MDAT-GoG.

South East Asia (SEA)

The VRA of SEA, especially in the straits of Malacca and Singapore, the southern
portion of the South China Sea, the Sulu-Celebes Seas and at certain ports and anchorages in Asia, is administered under the Information Fusion Centre (IFC) voluntary reporting scheme with reference to charts Q6112 and Q6113.

The Information Fusion Centre (IFC) serves as the first point of contact for ships in the region offering a voluntary reporting scheme for Routine Ship Security Reporting.

In the event of an attempted attack/an actual attack, the Master should alert the nearest coastal State through its Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), the CSO and the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) for Incident Reporting. After the attack, a detailed report shall be provided to the Flag State, the ReCAAP Focal Point, the IFC, the IMB, the Coastal States and the INTERPOL for Post Incident Reporting.

We showcase the latest ‘must have’ technology and insight from the world’s leading brands and experts, connecting businesses like yours with the information and technology that they need right now.

Transformation (DX) is a radical change of strategy which, for most organisations, is fundamental to both staying relevant to your customers and also opening up new revenue streams.

What does
Digital Transformation mean to YOU?

DX is not updating your website. It’s not having a chat bot. You won’t “complete” digital transformation as it’s an ongoing process. What we can say though is that the longer you take to jump on the train the harder it will be to keep up.

We work together

DX requires your entire organisation to work together to re-imagine how you interact with your customers. How your organisation communicates. How you collect, store and analyse data, how this feeds in to pricing, product development and your marketing.

Your role

So your role working in the IT department, the cyber security team or as a technical line of business leader is absolutely fundamental in the ongoing digital transformation of your organisation.

Whether you’re trying to understand the latest technology capabilities, trying to deploy a successful DX project or keep your network and data secure - we want to simplify it for you.

The Courts’ Fight with the Executive Branch in NC Education Policy

The state of North Carolina violates its constitution daily. The governing document of the state declares that it must provide a “sound, basic education for all.” And yet, multiple courts have found that the state of North Carolina does not meet this standard. This standard and the state’s meager response constitute a major topic of education law in North Carolina for the past 25 years.

The court case Leandro v. State of North Carolina (referred to as Leandro from here on) drives the debate around education in North Carolina. As is the case in other states, property taxes from local areas fund much of the education system in North Carolina, meaning that public schools will look much better in the suburbs of Charlotte than in the rural northeastern part of the state, even though both are managed by the same building in Raleigh. In 1994, students from lower-income backgrounds filed a lawsuit against the state alleging that the state was not meeting its constitutional requirement to provide every student with their obligatory “sound, basic education. In 1997, the North Carolina Supreme Court found in favor of the plaintiffs.

The judicial losses for the state only piled on from there. Between 2000 and 2004, courts handed down four separate memoranda that concluded that the State’s public education enterprise was both insufficient and inequitable. Effectively, the State was required to make significant changes to its public education system, and until it did so sufficiently, it was not fulfilling its Constitutional requirements. However, despite these court mandates, the State did nothing.

This holding pattern continued for the next 17 years after the original Leandro decision. In that time, almost two decades, funding for public education only decreased. Teachers received no raises between 2009 and 2013, and for a period of time, North Carolina ranked 49th in teacher pay, only ahead of Mississippi. North Carolina’s per-pupil spending did not increase from 2001 to 2018. In other words, suppression of educational funds was at its height during the decades when the State knew it was violating its own Constitution.

Finally, in 2015, Superior Court Judge Manning recognized the perpetual inaction by the State and ordered legislation to remedy the shortfalls. However, as the rest of this piece will attempt to elucidate, the loose orders from North Carolina’s judicial branch practically sanctioned inaction by the executive and legislative branches. While Judge Manning complied with the Constitutional orders in the Leandro case, the only substantive requirement from his decision was that the State must provide a “definite plan of action.” This order, while better than nothing, permitted further delays as it only compelled a plan, instead of actual, tangible legislation.

Upon the retirement of Judge Manning in 2016, the Leandro case transferred to Judge David Lee. At this time, the State (represented by the State Board of Education and Department of Public Instruction) sought to remove itself from the power of the Leandro decision by arguing that, during the 20 years of the case, the State had essentially upped its game and now satisfied the Constitutional requirement to a “sound, basic education.” Newly-appointed Judge Lee vehemently disagreed, striking down their claim thereby breathing new urgency into the case.

However, the progression toward justice took a pause for a few years until Judge Lee ordered an independent, nonpartisan consultant to recommend legislation for the state. A year later, the education consultation firm WestEd submitted its report to Judge Lee that included seven distinct “prongs” that the State must address in order to meet its Constitutional requirements. In early 2020, Judge Lee issued mandatory next steps for the State. He required that immediate steps be taken within 60 days and that the State have concrete plans in place in the next few weeks.

The WestEd report offered distinct solutions for North Carolina to pass into law. It suggested that the state would have to spend $8.6 billion to satisfy the requirements of the Constitution.

This is where the matter stands now. Over 27 years ago, poor students from rural areas of North Carolina gathered the courage to file suit against a powerful opponent: North Carolina itself. Despite repeated judicial victories, the executive and legislative branches found ways to weasel themselves out of every mandate. Consultants ordered plans and courts ordered next steps. And over two decades later, this is all we have: plans and next steps.

Yes, North Carolina violates its own Constitution. While the state mandates that it provide a “sound, basic education,” it hasn’t since at least 1997. The funding system for public instruction means that some counties spend more than two and a half times per student on education than others. Conservative governors and legislatures since 2010 have only cut more programs from public education, creating further income inequality between private and public schools. The only way forward is a complete revival of public education in North Carolina, back to the old days when the state was a beacon for progressive educational development in the South.

How do you protect your IP Processes?  More importantly, have you ever done a freedom to operate clearance on them? To kick off this short series of posts, here are a few insights on some of the top ‘patent process’ patent filers, what they are covering, and the most cited patents. Given my 100 per cent client focus, I couldn’t really do this topic justice but I look forward to further insights… Read More

Guest post by Robert Cantrell   An IP strategy should take account of the natural course of technology evolution so that it provides adequate protections into the future.  For example, product solutions tend, over time, to move towards an ideal state of providing more and more benefit with less and less drawback.  So where your IP protects innovation that does provide more benefits or fewer drawbacks, it is likely aligned with the course… Read More

What is better for a product-based IP Strategy, an open system of innovation or a closed system?  The answer is both and neither, and here is why. Strategy, at its core, is the interplay between interaction and isolation.  Everything that you do in IP strategy, from the most complex to the most mundane, is to create favorable interactions and isolations between you, customers, partners, and competitors.  For example, the right to enforce… Read More

Most organizations create a system whereby IP tasks are created, assigned, monitored and enforced. IP responsibility is vague and it needs to be deduced into number of tasks of definite nature. Sometimes IP tasks do not adequately cover an underlying IP responsibility whereas in other cases IP responsibilities go unrecognized. So one check point is to confirm if responsibility to task conversion is done appropriately. Unless this conversion is perfect, no responsibility… Read More

In my IP strategy courses, I describe ten angles of competition, the sixth of which I define as a potential customer providing a solution to a need himself.  For example, a house painter competes with more than other house painters when he proposes to paint a house.  He also competes with the capacity and willingness of a home owner to just pick up his own brush and paint that house.  External IP… Read More

The word overselling means offering resources to clients without the ability to provide them. In simple words, a hosting company may advertise a solution with infinite disk space when, in reality, the client's account will be made on a server with numerous other accounts sharing the total space. To guarantee that all of the customers have a share, providers often set hidden quotas for each account and in essence trick their clients about the resources they will benefit from. The primary reason to oversell is to find new customers even though service providers fully understand that a web server can have only so many hard disk drives. Resellers often get packages with fixed system resources too, which means that they are unable to provide the unlimited plans they advertise.

No Overselling in Website Hosting

Overselling isn't a thing we do and we have no reason to do such a thing because our outstanding cloud platform allows us to provide the characteristics that we offer as part of our website hosting solutions. Each and every part of the service like the file and database storage, email addresses, and so on, is handled by its individual cluster of servers, which gives us more adaptability and scalability compared to all web hosting service providers which employ Control Panels meant to perform on just a single machine. We work with our tailor-made Hepsia instrument, that was created to work in the cloud and considering the fact that we can add more hard disks or servers to any cluster that needs them any time, we just have no reason to oversell. When you register for one of our packages, you will really receive all system resources that you've paid for.

Fast radio bursts: Scientists hear ‘huge’, mysterious and repeating signal from deep in space

Astronomers aren’t sure what is causing the mysterious sounds, only 17 of which have ever been heard

Scientists have heard a long, repeated sound from deep in space — and nobody is sure where it is coming from.

Astronomers found 10 millisecond-long “fast radio bursts”, the latest example of a mysterious radio wave coming from outside of our galaxy.

Scientists had previously thought that the bursts were singular events. But a new study finds that at least some of the sources send out repeated messages.

The finding adds to other strange discoveries about the fast radio bursts that seem to indicate that there may be something unusual causing them. Scientists said last year that some of the messages appear to be coming in a pattern — one that could even be created by alien technology.

The new research sheds little new light on what exactly is causing the messages. But it does offer perplexing questions about what sort of source could be emitting them.

“”We’re showing that whatever battery drives FRBs, it can recharge in minutes,” said James Cordes, an astronomy professor at Cornell University, in a statement.

“The energy of the event becomes very problematic. We’re detecting these FRBs from very far away, which means that they are intrinsically very bright. Only a few astrophysical sources can produce bursts like this, and we think they are most likely neutron stars in other galaxies.”

Previously, scientists had thought that message was coming from something like the collision of neutron stars, sending a shockwave of energy across the universe. But the new findings show that the source of the energy isn’t being destroyed, since they send out more than one burst.

“In our paper, we’re showing that our FRB can’t have an explosive origin,” said Shami Chatterjee, a senior researcher at Cornell, in a statement. “So, either there’s an odd coincidence, or maybe there are different types of FRBs.

“Either way, it seems we’ve broken this enigmatic phenomenon wide open.”
