Wild Boars successfully rescued in Thailand

This week has shown us how small the world has become with millions watching the successful rescue of the Wild Boar team in Thailand.
We saw millions of people watching and praying for the boys safe return to there families.  We watched the outpouring of grief on hearing of the drowning of the Thai Navy Seal Samun Gunan.

Television crews from all over the world descended on the rescue headquarters.   The coverage was international. Thankfully the twelve boys and their football coach have been rescued from a flooded Thai cave complex where they were trapped for more than two weeks.

The perilous mission to save the "Wild Boars" soccer team and their coach has gripped the world for days.

Cave

In some ways watching from the comfort of your home desensitised you from the real pain and grief involved.   It's not until you see the images of the eight boys being brought out on stretchers over the first two days - four on Sunday and four on Monday that you realise the actual dangers involved in the mission.

Now the side stories are emerging in relation to the rescuers themselves.  One such is Dr Richard "Harry" Harris who has 30yrs diving experience coupled with being a medical retrieval specialist.   The British cave divers that originally discovered the Wild Boars pacifically call on Dr Harry's

help.

In Ireland news has broken about a diver living in Ennis dropping everything and heading to Thailand. The diver in question is Jim Warny originally from Belgium,  Jim is an expert cave rescuer.

Also, the story has emerged about diving equipment been flown overnight from Ireland to Thailand to assist in the rescue mission.
Thankfully it was a major success and showed global humanitarian cooperation at its best.

Will Robots Pay Income Taxes If it takes My Job.

For some time now we have been some time to commentary about the impending Robot revolution, and the resulting jobs losses as a result An industrial robot is a  system used in the manufacturing of various mechicanical products.  The Industrial robot are automated, programmable and capable of movement on two or more axes.  They are also notioriously slow to reprogramme to perform the next task.   The multi tasking robot hasnt been discovered yet.   Certainly more and more robots will be installed in the work place.  Mostly performing set tasks with human supervision.

Do Robots Pay Taxes

But how will the effect society as a whole.  Skilled trades men ourside a set manufacturing enviroment will always be in high demand.  Its important that that Governents encourage younger people to maintain this trade tradition. 
I have come across an number of articles recently in relation to robots in the work place one such on was in the Huffington Post by Laura Paddison. "If robots steal our jobs, maybe we should make them pay tax".

Another arrticles was in the South African fin24 website outlines the ordering procedure in San Francisco restaurant.   It goes on to say walk into a restaurant in San Francisco and you are greeted by a wall of numbered cubbyholes with acrylic doors. Dotted around the room are screens for placing orders. What you won’t find is a person to serve you. There’s no counter and no human to take your order or hand over the food.

Eatsa San Francisco

Instead, customers scroll through the menu of quinoa and rice bowls on the in-store screens or on a mobile app, tap in their order and wait for their name to flash on one of the cubbies, where their food will be waiting.

This restaurant is Eatsa, an automated restaurant. Well, sort of. There are still humans preparing food behind the scenes. But the company hopes to eventually automate this process, too.

The concept restaurant, while it has had recent setbacks, represents another step in the onward march of automation. To some, Eatsa is a sign of innovation, providing people with fast, smooth service without the need to speak to another person. But for others, “there’s a big question mark about what this means for us as a society”. Not only what it means to have less human interaction, but also what it will do to jobs.

This is according to Jane Kim, who sits on the board of supervisors for the district the restaurant is in. Automation has been on Kim’s mind.

“This is one of the biggest issues that is facing our country over the next decade,” she says.

In response to her growing concerns about how it will play out in a city with one of the fastest-growing income gaps between rich and poor, she has an idea – tax the robots and use the money to help stem inequality.

The idea of a robot tax has bubbled up over the past couple of years, thanks to the backing of some high-profile figures, who propose it as a way to prevent all the benefits of automation from flowing to a tiny slice of wealthy people.

Perhaps the most famous advocate is Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates. He told news website Quartz last year: “Right now, the human worker who does, say, $50 000 worth of work in a factory, that income is taxed and you get income tax, social security tax, all those things. If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you’d think that we’d tax the robot at a similar level.”

He believes taxing machines could slow the pace of automation, giving people a chance to retrain and giving governments time to put in place policies to protect people from intensifying inequality.

There will always be tasks humans to perform certain task. One such task I am familar with is replacing stove glass in a stove.  Can never see a robot programmed to do that task.

Has investment in UK alternative energy dropped.

In a recent article in the English Independent, there is a suggestion that investment in alternative energy sources is drying up.  From the report, it's incredibly clear there is a strikingly and  substantial downward trend in new investment, that is across the board in terms of investment in clean technology.  It appears projects such as massive wind farms right downwards could result in the collapse of the solar energy market.

The Heading reads:  A ‘hostile environment’ for renewables: Why has UK clean energy investment plummeted?

If you were to judge by the headlines, it could be concluded that renewable energy in England is doing exceptionally well.  Every other week there is news about wind generation overtaking from Nuclear.  Or fewer coal resources are being used for energy production. 

Yet these figures obscure a reality in which the withdrawal of government support and confusion around future investments have led to a “dramatic and worrying collapse” in green investment.

Critics say the government has created a “hostile environment” for renewable energy that scares away potential investors and prevents the UK from reaching its full potential.

The arrival of the Climate Change Act in 2008 and the subsequent rollout of electricity market reforms saw the UK become a world leader in renewables, particularly wind power.

We had a very clear policy framework from 2008 and that has been less certain in recent years,” says Emma Pinchbeck, executive director at trade association RenewableUK.

“That explains why we have had record-breaking deployment as things come online from that previous policy framework, but why now we are looking at a dropoff.”

There tends to be a lag of five to 10 years between a project being funded and it coming online, which is why we are only now experiencing the benefits of this early investment period.

Despite widespread popular support for renewables – 85 per cent, according to the latest figures – annual investment in clean energy is now at its lowest point in a decade.  Safe first should always be paramount when installing.  All installer should be trained in First Aid.  In Ireland it First Aid Responder Training.

How to ensure your covered by Travel Insurance

A medical emergency could cost more than your holiday

The recent Spanish train crash, in which 79 people died after a train derailed near the famous pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela, shows just how quickly disaster can strike. So, too, did last week's coach crash in southern Italy, which saw 38 people killed when a tour bus plunged off a flyover and into a ravine.

Tragedies like this are the last thing we expect when we head off on holidays – yet they can happen. Aside from the personal trauma experienced if you or a relative are injured (or worse) in a foreign accident or disaster, the financial headache can be debilitating. If you don't have insurance, you could have to cough up hundreds of thousands of euro to cover the hospital bills that arise from a medical emergency abroad.

SCARY BILLS

How to estimate the cost of an Air Ambulance.

We the constant global travel that takes place nowadays it goes without saying getting ill abroad is a concern.  Having lived in Portugal for a few years a topic amongst expats is often health care and cost of same.  I know people have Medical Insurance for cover in excellent Portuguese Private Hospitals.  On the other hand, I know English and French people that will always return to their native countries for medical care.
I recall a few years ago a French lady living in Lagos Portugal and she required a serious neurological intervention surgery.  She opted to make the punishing journey back to France by car.

Having travelled all over the world medical insurance and the cost of Air Ambulance has often entered my mind.

I recently read an article in the Irish Independent that gave an insight into this scenario.

If you're seriously injured while travelling in the US, for example, your hospital bills could reach almost half a million euro, according to Ciaran Mulligan, managing director of Blue Insurances.

Mulligan, who has more than 20 years' experience in the insurance industry, cited a case where an Irish man was paralysed from the neck down after diving into a pool while holidaying in Las Vegas. "The medical bills, in this case, came to almost €450,000," said Mulligan.

In another case cited by Mulligan, an Irish holidaymaker was injured in a motorcycle accident in the US. The medical bills came to €100,000, including a €60,000 bill to have him flown back to Ireland by air ambulance.

A stint in a European hospital could set you back tens of thousands of euro. "A week in a hospital in Europe could easily cost from €5,000 to €10,000," said Dermot Goode, of healthinsurancesavings.ie. "If you're in a hospital for a few weeks, you could be talking around €25,000."

AVOIDING FINANCIAL HEADACHES

So what can you do to avoid ending up in a financial nightmare if a medical emergency strikes while you're abroad?

If you are holidaying in Europe, get a European Health Insurance card E111 through your local health office before you travel.
With this card, you are entitled to free emergency care in a public hospital if you become ill or injured while travelling in the European Economic Area (that is, the EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland).
REPATRIATION COSTS

If you have to be flown home for medical care after being injured abroad, the repatriation bill could run into tens or hundreds of thousands of euro.

Earlier this year, VHI Healthcare said the average repatriation costs for an air ambulance was €150,000 from Australia and New Zealand, between €59,000 and €65,000 from the US and €9,000 from France. If you don't have insurance, you'll have to foot the bill yourself.

Most travel insurers and private health insurers cover repatriation costs but you should check if this cover is included in your policy – as well as any limit to the costs for which you are covered.

Your insurer will only cover you for repatriation if it's done on medical grounds. "If you simply don't like the hospital abroad and hop on a plane home, you won't be covered," said Goode. "You have to be declared fit for flying – otherwise, your travel insurance will be null and void."

Remembering The Titanic in Cobh

Cobh remembers Titanic 

Cobh located in the magnificent natural splendour of Cork Habour will always be associated with the Titanic, for that very reason they hold  each year a  memorial service for those that lost their lives on board the ill-fated ship.  The service took place on this Sunday, April the 15th.  It marked the poignant occasion the 106 year anniversary since the ship sank in the North Atlantic Ocean.

At 3:00pm a colour party from the Cobh O.N.E. Branch lead a procession from the Cobh Urban Offices at Lynch’s wharf to the Titanic Memorial in Pearse sq., as those gathered paid their respects to the passengers from all over the world that boarded the doomed ship at Cobh, Titanic’s last port of call.

The  Irish Naval Service Officers  Male Voice Choir performed throughout a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial. From there the proceedings move to the Promenade, near the long-lasting Heartbreak Pier. Not far from Commodore Hotel and Cobh Holiday apartments.  It was from this location that the passengers left to board the ship in  Cobh.

It was from this location that the passengers left to board the ship in  Cobh.

These passengers would later die in the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, Their names were read out as the gentle sounds of Island Strings played ‘Nearer My God to Thee’.
The hymn is that  alleged to be last song the band played on Titanic before the ship sank.
After a decade's long search, 2 portions of  the Titanic were found lying upright in two sections virtually four hundred miles south off Newfoundland in 1985.


Successive dives on the vessel have found no proof of a huge gash thought to have been ripped within the ship’s hull by an iceberg.
It’s believed a series of thin tears caused a separation of joints within the ship’s hull structure resulting in its sinking.
Nowadays cruiseliners from around the world dock in Cobh. Recently the largest ever liner to visit arrived. The MSC Meraviglia with 5700 guests arrived.  She is 167,600 gross tonnage.

Take a quick look at Culinary delights of Wellington, New Zealand

Wellington 

Flying into Wellington for the first time you quickly get a feeling for the terrain around the capital of New Zealand.  The expanse of ocean separating North and South Islands.  The hills surrounding this maritime location.   Even in fine weather, I get the feeling as the winds are always swirling this is a tricky landing and approach.

The city of Wellington is cool, adorable, culinarily honoured and conservative. Wherever you are in the Kiwi capital, odds are you're a 10-minute walk from spot you need to be.

You'll require all of the activity you can get the chance to stir your food craving: Wellington is stuffed with cool bistros, boutique nourishing restaurants and eateries. It has excellent accommodation with motels upmarket holiday rentals Wellington style. Yes, all that you need in a city break.

Here's a recommended schedule for a few days of restful investigating and a ton of eating (on the off chance that you don't venerate nourishment, perhaps you should attempt another city). With everything so shut, there's a lot of time to simply sit and notice the espresso. All costs are in New Zealand dollars.

Arrive Friday :

Check your hotel or holiday rental the city centre is  a 8km drive from the aeroplane terminal most accommodation is in a prime position.

7pm: supper

Just strides into Post Office Square is Charley Noble, a major and clamouring bistro helmed by gourmet expert and proprietor Paul Hoather that has some expertise in wood-terminated cooking.  If hungry look at  a 500g grass-bolstered Prime Angus ribeye on the bone.  The champion dish is a wonderfully delicate charcoal-simmered chicken bosom on a spread of cauliflower with truffle margarine.

Saturday

8am: breakfast

Owned by siblings Jesse Simpson and Shepherd Elliott, Ti Kouka Cafe in Willis Street is one of those uncommon spots where energetic individuals get enchantment. Jesse runs the front of house and dishes out the espressos, in the kitchen Shep – who has worked at top Wellington eatery Logan Brown and for the Sydney-based whiz gourmet expert Tetsuya Wakuda – serves up breakfast, informal breakfast and lunch with an overwhelming accentuation on neighbourhood, practical and natural produce. Shep is lit up by nourishment: here he discusses his cooking reasoning and the inceptions of Ti Kouka. Breakfast offerings incorporate warm white polenta porridge with broiled rhubarb, pistachios and cinnamon; sautéed beans and grains with goats curd, lemon, kale, mint, harissa and a poached egg; a cheddar omelette with caramelized leeks, sumac, tamarillo chutney and rocket; and a dry-cured bacon sandwich. The bread originates from the siblings' other wander, the Leeds Street Bakery, which is celebrated around the world for its to kick the bucket for salted caramel treats.

On arrival I'm ready to taste "Aporkalypse Now", Ti Kouka's entrance in Burger Wellington, the city's yearly skirmish of the bun and one of the sustenance celebration's most mainstream occasions. Joining moderate cooked whiskey coated pork bear, soda bacon and apple with smoked grill mayonnaise, hot sauce, crackling and pickles, it's a delicate, delicious, crunchy fistful of yum. In the event that you don't influence it to Ti To kouka for breakfast, arrive for lunch.

9.30am: strolling visit

A great idea is the  Zest Food Tours' every day Capital Tastes excursion is a piece far from Ti Kouka at the I-SITE guest data focus, at the side of Victoria and Wakefield lanes. $179 gets you three and a half hours of meandering, tasting and snacking in the organization of an intense Wellingtonian, finding out about the city's history, design and activism.

We cross the City to the Sea Bridge – on foot connecting
Civic Square with the waterfront. Our first stop is the base camp of Mojo, one of those espresso roasters, in a noteworthy shed on the quay. We see off camera, at that point take a seat for a measure of the house mix, Dr Mojo's Medicine, with a chocolate florentine.

Next we hit Gelissimo, causing a buzz with sparkle oblivious gelato made for Welly on a Plate and the Lux light celebration. At that point, we proceed onward to Hannahs Laneway, home to Fix and Fogg nutty spread, Wellington Chocolate Factory and the Leeds Street Bakery, among others.

We wind up at Moore Wilson's, Wellington's culinary experts shop. It stocks an essentially stunning cluster of nourishment from nations over and around the globe. On an excursion to Waiheke Island, I learnt that Kiwis know their sustenance, however this place is past my imaginings. I bring home a parcel of  dried pineapple powder, essentially in light of the fact that I'd never known a wonder as this existed.

1pm: Cuba Street

After a visit that way, there's a valuable minimal shot you'll be needing lunch, so now is a decent time to look at Cuba Street, six or so somewhat pedestrianized squares of boutiques, buskers and bohemia. (This being Wellington, there are bars and diners in abundance in the event that you signal.)

2pm: make brew

The city's speciality brew scene has detonated in the previous five years. The best place to test a drop is the Third Eye, Tuatara bottling works' "sanctuary of taste", in Arthur Street.

There's additionally a warm welcome at Golding's Free Dive in Leeds Street, an eccentric room beautified with brilliantly shaded old odds and ends – there are container light shades and the canopy over the bar is made of old skis. Food can be requested from the neighbouring Pizza Pomodoro.

The Ranginui entryway outlined by Robert Jahnke in the marae (meeting place) at Te Papa


No outing to the Kiwi capital is finished without a hour or more in the national exhibition hall, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. There's a seismic tremor test system, a Māori marae (meeting place), the skeleton of a dwarf blue whale and the half-ton body of the biggest goliath squid caught to date.

April 9th 2018 Airline News from Around the World

The purpose of my written journey today is to provide the reader with interesting  Airline news from around the world.  I am hoping the information will also be useful and help with a further internet search or research

I recently travelled from Auckland to Dubai with Emirates a journey slightly short of 17hours.   It was onboard an Airbus 380.   The journey wasn't that unusual for me as I have in the past completed 13 hours and 14 hours with Emirates to the East Coast of Australia.

Quantas for some time has been planning there own long-haul route.  On Saturday they launch a daily service linking London and Perth, becoming the first non-stop regular link between the UK and Australia. This will boost visitor numbers in both cities.   Serviced apartments in London will be even more in demand.

Interesting when Qantas created the Kangaroo Route between London and Australia in 1947, it took four days and nine stops. From 25 March 2018, it will take just 17 hours from Perth non-stop.

QF10 will depart London Heathrow at 13:30, arriving into Perth at 13:15 the next day. The Qantas 787-9 Dreamliner will then fly on to Melbourne.

The route will become the first non-stop passenger service to directly link UK - and Europe - with Australia, replacing the airline’s existing Melbourne-Dubai-London service.

At 14,498km, it will also become the second longest flight in the world.  The longest flight in the world is by Qatar Airways  who presently operate Doha, Qatar to Auckland, New Zealand. The flight can last up to a  18 hours 20 minutes

Speaking at Routes Asia 2018 in Brisbane, Australia’s assistant minister for trade, tourism and investment Mark Coulton said the route was a landmark for air services to the country.

“The development of ultra-long aircraft is a game-changer,” he said. “It will open up numerous opportunities going forward as the convenience and appeal of a non-stop flight cannot be underestimated.

“A 25-hour flight with a break in the middle is obviously less desirable than going non-stop.”

Coulton said that Australia is enjoying record tourism growth with 8.81 million international tourists spending AS$41.3bn during the past year and new air services, such as the London-Perth route, will further strengthen the country’s economy.

Lyle Brownscombe, senior manager network strategy at Qantas, agreed that technology will play a key part in shaping the Australian flag carrier’s network in the future.

“Probably the biggest change in our strategy is with the Perth-London route - that’s a big step and it’s because technology is only just enabling us to do that,” he said.

“It will connect two really big markets with a non-stop service - we think this is the start of a new frontier of really interesting opportunities.

“When you look at big unserved markets, they are all really long distances.”

Brownscombe said he hoped Project Sunrise - Qantas’ challenge to Airbus and Boeing to develop an aircraft capable of operating non-stop flights from Sydney to London and New York - would become a reality by mid-2020s.

QF10 facts

14,498km flight will take approximately 17 hours (slightly more or less depending on winds)
Longest flight on the Qantas network, followed by is non-stop A380 Sydney-Dallas service (13,730km)
Will be the longest Boeing Dreamliner flight in the world
Adds to Qantas’ list of flying firsts, including the first passenger jet services across the Pacific in 1959 with a B707 and the first (and only) non-stop passenger flight from London to Sydney in 1989 with a B747-400
Conrad Clifford, the regional vice-president for Asia-Pacific at the International Air Transport Association (IATA), added that advances in aircraft technology will open up further ultra-long-haul routes in the coming years.

“The Perth-London non-stop that Qantas is introducing is really interesting,” he said. “It highlights how advances in technology can make long-haul city pairs viable.

“Thanks to new fuel-efficient aircraft, it means the whole long-haul story has a new chapter ahead of it. You can potentially put together two long-haul secondary airports and make the route work.”

To match the Quantas news Emirates their service partners were quickly out of that starting gates.

Emirates in late-June 2018 have scheduled one-time 2-class Airbus A380 service on Dubai – London Heathrow route, reflected in recent schedule update. On 24JUN18, the 615-seater aircraft will operate EK005/006 service, replacing 3-class aircraft.

EK005 DXB1545 – 2015LHR 388
EK006 LHR2215 – 0805+1DXB 388

A further announcement shows the following  service adjustment
Etihad Airways last week made further service adjustment on Abu Dhabi – Ho Chi Minh City route, as the airline schedules last flight on 30AUG18. This route is operated by a mix of A330-200/-300 aircraft, served 3 times a week (6 weekly until 11APR18)

EY441 AUH0820 – 1900SGN 330 247
EY440 SGN2025 – 0055+1AUH 330 247

Finally last week for Germans hoping to enjoy a villa in Marbella or rental apartment in Benalmadena.  Ryanair announced a  partnership with Laudamotion, including the launch of Berlin Tegel base from June 2018. From Berlin Tegel, Laudamotion/Ryanair will offer 17 routes. These routes will be using Laudamotion’s OE-coded flight numbers and Ryanair’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

Discover the transport links to and in Seville

Seville is a beautiful in southwestern Spain.   Two hours drive on the motorway from the Portuguese.   Its the capital of the region and has excellent transport links to other areas.   There is a twice-daily bus service to the Algarve starting in Lagos and last bus returning there in the evening.   There is a rail service from Seville is extensive serving cities of Cordoba, Malaga, Madrid and others. The main Train Station is Santa Justa and it is the 3rd largest in Spain accommodating 8 million passengers each year.   Easter ceremonies in Seville are a wondrous sight.

Flights into Seville are from varied cities in Europe.  Ryanair fly there from a number of locations.
Internal transport within the city is modern and efficient.

The Seville Metro in Spanish Metro de Sevilla is an 18-kilometre  light metro network serving the city of Seville, and its metropolitan area.  Very similar to the Luas system in Dublin. The system is totally independent of any other rail or street traffic. All 22 stations were built with platform screen doors.

It was the sixth Metro system to be built in Spain, after those in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao and Palma de Mallorca. Currently, it is the fifth biggest Metro company in Spain by number of passengers carried – it carried 16 million p

assengers
The Metro de Seville began construction in 1974 with three proposed lines, covering only the city of Seville:

Line 1:
Stops: La Plata, Puerta Jerez, Plaza Nueva, Plaza del Duque, Alameda, Macarena, Pino Montano.
Line 2:
Stops: Santa Clara, Polígono San Pablo, Alhóndiga, Plaza del Duque, Marqués de Paradas, El Tardón, Rubén Darío.
Line 3:
Stops: Heliópolis, San Bernardo, Menéndez y Pelayo, Recaredo, Macarena, Cartuja.

The project was cancelled in 1983 for political reasons with the budget from the central government reassigned to other infrastructure in Andalusia by the newly created Junta de Andalucía and also to the Bilbao Metro project instead, after 5 Billion Pesetas had already been spent. The official reasons given were fear that historic buildings might be damaged and economic viability.

In 1999 a new metro project was started by the Seville Metro Corporation founded by a former mayor of Seville. It was scheduled to be completed in 2006, but only began operation on 2 April 2009.

The new a network covers Seville and its metropolitan area with 1,500,000 inhabitants formed by four lines, all of them, completely independent of other traffic.
