FRO - Correction - Increase in Ownership Interest in Feen Marine Scrubbers
Frontline Ltd. (the "Company" or "Frontline") (NYSE:FRO) today announced that its ownership interest in Feen Marine Scrubbers Inc. ("FMSI") has increased to 28.9% following the purchase by FMSI of a 30.8% stake in FMSI from Bjørnar Feen.
Robert Hvide Macleod, CEO of Frontline Management said: "FMSI has gained market share since our initial investment, and we are pleased to see our ownership stake in the company increase. Setting aside potential financial benefits, our ownership in FMSI has allowed Frontline to source high specification scrubbers on short notice, which we believe will present a challenge to many owners as the deadline for sulphur emissions compliance approaches."
FMSI was formed in 2017 and has rapidly become a leading manufacturer of exhaust gas cleaning systems ("EGCs"). The company has a presence in Batam, Oslo, Singapore, Athens, Mumbai, Shanghai and Seoul and has received orders for more than 150 EGCs systems since its sales efforts were initiated. As of 3 January 2019, FMSI had delivered 45 EGCs, and fully commissioned 18 systems. In response to market demand, FMSI is increasing its production capacity through constructing a 40,000 square meter facility in Batam, Indonesia. The new facility, which will commence operations in February 2019, will see production capacity increase five-fold at a time when some manufacturers are unable to accept scrubber orders due to capacity restraints.

Sri Lanka: Colombo Port City To See $15 Billion In Investments
The Colombo Port City when completed would see investments of US$ 15 billion. The land filling stage of the project has now been completed. Once completed the city can accommodate a population of over 250,000, an official of the Mega polis and Western Province Development Ministry said.
Port City would also have several specialized areas including a marine university area, recreation area, residential area and also the financial district, Colombo International Financial City (CIFC) is a special financial zone that is expected to become an offshore financial center.The completed city will have reclaimed 269 hectares with 116 hectares being handed over to China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which is the parent company of China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC).
The remaining land, which will be owned by the Sri Lankan Government and will be divided with 62 hectares to be used to set up a financial city and 91 hectares to be used as public spaces.
Port City when completed would be similar to small city in the world like the Canary Wharf area in London. He said that this project is also in the main route of the proposed Silk route of China and it would be of tremendous importance. Reported by Eurasia Review 9 hours ago.

Differentiating Summer And Winter Rainfall In South Asia Around 4.2 Ka Climatic ‘Event’
Climate change has the potential to have affected ancient civilizations by spurring migrations and changes in cropping strategies, and the¬se questions are increasingly relevant as we look at how modern civilization is coping with climate change today.
An article published in a special issue of Climate of the Past on the “4.2 ka BP climatic event” provides rich insights into how rainfall in the northwest of South Asia changed over the critical period between 5400 and 3000 years ago.
The marine sediment core known as 63KA was taken close to the mouth of the Indus River delta and holds important and intriguing information about past changes in river discharge and depth of ocean stratification. The discharge of the Indus River is directly linked to the amount of summer rainfall. Ocean mixing depth is related to the strength of winds and evaporation over the Arabian Sea during wintertime that, in turn, correlates with winter precipitation over northwestern India. Three species of planktonic foraminifera with distinct ecological niches have been used to track relevant changes in salinity and temperature by measuring the oxygen isotopes from their calcareous shells, which produce a synchronous record of summer and winter monsoon strength.
Work on samples from this marine core attracted wide interest in 2003 when a summer monsoon mega-drought around 4.2 thousand years ago was related to cultural transformations of the Indus Civilization, which had an urban phase spanning from c.4.5-3.9 thousand years ago.
Prof. Michael Staubwasser from the University of Cologne, who was lead author of the 2003 paper and is co-author on the latest research, safeguarded samples from this core for over 20 years. “We always thought there might be more valuable information left in these samples,” he says, “and we can now see that it is possible to track both summer and winter precipitation from the same core.”
The new results point to a 200-year period of abnormally strong winter precipitation between c.4.5-4.3 thousand years ago, and after this, winter and summer rainfall both decreased to a minimum at c.4.1 thousand years ago.
“Humans are completely dependent on constant access to water. The possibility of a simultaneous decrease in winter precipitation by 4.1 thousand years ago completely changes the picture of year-round water availability in this region. A shift from plentiful winter rain to the totally opposite extreme, in combination with summer monsoon rains that were already declining, will have had a dramatic impact upon the people living in this region” says Alena Giesche, lead author on the new publication and PhD candidate in Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge.
Climatic changes during this time period coincide with important cultural changes in the Indus Civilization, which saw the culmination of a process of deurbanisation by c. 3.9 thousand years ago. “This finding has important implications for our understanding of the Indus Civilization, particularly our interpretation of changes in settlement patterns and cropping strategies. There was clear decline in the major urbanized centres, but there was also an increase in the numbers of rural settlements in the summer monsoon-dominated regions in the east, suggesting that populations adapted to changing conditions,” says Dr. Cameron Petrie, co-author and Reader in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge.
The new results are particularly exciting because they track two rainfall regimes in the same exact core. “This is a unique core, because the sediments are laminated and not disturbed by mixing by organisms (bioturbation). It has a detailed radiocarbon chronology and because proxies for both the summer and winter rainfall are recorded in the same samples, the relative timing of the two can be determined with confidence,” says Prof. David Hodell, co-author and Woodwardian Professor of Geology at the University of Cambridge.

Christie 630-Gs Laser Projectors Inject Excitement and Fun for Kids at Playtica
It’s the first indoor kids’ amusement park in South Korea to embrace Christie laser projection for fun-filled attractions
SEOUL, South Korea (PRWEB) January 16, 2019
Christie’s laser projection systems have elevated the fun and excitement quotient to a new level at a new amusement park for kids named Playtica, by combining bright and vivid visuals with various attractions.
Located in the outskirts of Seoul at Gyeonggi Province, Playtica is the first indoor kids’ amusement park in South Korea to employ Christie laser projection for its attractions targeted at children of different age groups. Powered by 17 ceiling-mounted Christie 630-GS Series 1DLP® laser projectors installed by Christie’s Korean partner, Underdog Studio, the projected visuals have provided much entertainment to the young visitors, immersing them in a range of fun-filled activities that can be enjoyed either individually or with multiple players.
“The use of laser projection at Playtica has proven to be a big draw since they became operational, as those attractions that employ projections are highly popular among children of all ages,” said Robert Lee, executive director, Underdog Studio. “Playtica has chosen the Christie 630 GS laser projectors due to their unbeatable combination of long-lasting brightness, image quality, form factor, zero consumables and lower cost of ownership. The usage of Christie laser projectors has redefined children’s entertainment and increased the appeal of various attractions at this venue.”
The 17 Christie 630-GS Series laser projectors are deployed at seven unique attractions within Playtica. At the Art Drawings attraction (which uses three projectors), children’s drawings of sea creatures are digitally scanned and displayed on a large screen projection showing an aquarium brimming with marine life. Over at the Media Table attraction (two projectors), young visitors can interact with objects projected on the surface of two tables, while lifelike projections displayed on the wall at the Air Bounce attraction (four projectors) immerse players in a fantasy world as they frolic in an enormous ball pool.
For slightly older kids, they can challenge each other to solve mathematical questions at the Trampoline attraction (two projectors) via visuals projected on a wall by jumping and touching the correct answers displayed. Likewise, they can score points at the Ball Shooting attraction (two projectors) by hitting projected objects on a wall with rubber balls. Those trying out the interactive Climbing attraction (two projectors) can experience animated graphics projected on the rock climbing wall as they attempt to reach the top, while the highly immersive Bicycle Racing attraction (two projectors) pits players against one another as they race to the finish line.
Commenting on the innovative use of projections at Playtica, Ernest Bakenie, Director of Sales for Asia Pacific, Entertainment, Christie, said, “Christie has a broad range of high performance projection options available and there is certainly a Christie projector that fits every budget and requirement. It is heartening to see that operators of amusement parks and entertainment venues are increasingly turning to projection technology to elevate the customer experience to a whole new level. Christie has a wide range of projection options available and there is certainly a Christie projector that fits every budget and requirement. Playtica’s creative use of our GS Series laser projectors not only increases the fun factor, it also demonstrates the possibilities that laser projection can offer by transforming a modest attraction into an amazing interactive experience.”
Delivering up to 6,750 ISO lumens and equipped with 4,000,000:1 Christie RealBlack contrast ratio, the Christie 630-GS Series laser projectors – available in HD or WUXGA resolution – eliminate the need for lamp and filter replacements, providing 20,000 hours of low-cost operation.

Operation Homefront Announces 2019 Military Child of the Year® Semifinalists
Operation Homefront, serving America’s military families® since 2002, today announced the 96 semifinalists for the 2019 Military Child of the Year® (MCOY) Award. 2019 marks the 11th anniversary of this special event as the nation’s premier celebration of the achievements of our military children. The Military Child of the Year® Award reflects the positive impact that these special young people have made on their military families, their schools, and their communities.
SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) January 16, 2019
Operation Homefront, serving America’s military families® since 2002, today announced the 96 semifinalists for the 2019 Military Child of the Year® (MCOY) Award. 2019 marks the 11th anniversary of this special event as the nation’s premier celebration of the achievements of our military children.
The Military Child of the Year® Award reflects the positive impact that these special young people have made on their military families, their schools, and their communities.
Eve Glenn, the 2018 Air Force Child of the Year, said that the prestigious award has truly impacted her life; “Selection as a MCOY recipient has been life changing. Representing the Air Force, I pass on this honor by educating others on the military community and lifestyle, especially the hardships wounded veterans endure. Likewise, by allowing me the opportunity to focus on school rather than finances, MCOY was and is instrumental in my success.” Glenn is currently a freshman on the varsity cheerleading team at Brown University.
The Military Child of the Year® Award is a lifelong source of pride for the recipients and the program provides them with amazing opportunities to meet senior military leaders, elected officials, celebrities, and other remarkable military children.
“Being a MCOY recipient has allowed me to share my story… and has, in turn, strengthened my inner character, my devotion to making a difference, and deepened my compassion for others,” said Mary Cooper, the 2017 Coast Guard Military Child of the Year® Award recipient. Cooper is currently a freshman at Stanford University focusing on computer science, aeronautics, and astronautical engineering.
Thirty-five finalists will be selected in February by a panel of judges chosen by Operation Homefront’s senior leadership and Booz Allen Hamilton, a global technology and management consulting firm. The final seven award recipients will be announced in March. They will travel to Washington, D.C. to be recognized at a gala on April 18, during which senior leaders of each branch of service will present the awards. They also will each receive $10,000, a laptop computer, and other donated gifts.
Six Military Child of the Year® Award recipients will represent each branch of the armed forces — the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard — for their scholarship, volunteerism, leadership, extracurricular involvement, and other criteria while facing the challenges of military family life.
The seventh award is the Military Child of the Year® Award for Innovation presented by Booz Allen. This award goes to a military child who has designed a bold and creative solution to address a local, regional or global challenge. The MCOY Award for Innovation recipient will work directly with a team at the firm to develop a plan to help scale the recipient’s project — drawing on technology and strategic thinking as a part of the corporation’s competitive Summer Games.
The following are all the 2019 Military Child of the Year® Award semifinalists by service branch. Semifinalists for the 2019 Military Child of the Year® Award for Innovation are also designated:

SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) January 16, 2019
Operation Homefront, serving America’s military families® since 2002, today announced the 96 semifinalists for the 2019 Military Child of the Year® (MCOY) Award. 2019 marks the 11th anniversary of this special event as the nation’s premier celebration of the achievements of our military children.
The Military Child of the Year® Award reflects the positive impact that these special young people have made on their military families, their schools, and their communities.
Eve Glenn, the 2018 Air Force Child of the Year, said that the prestigious award has truly impacted her life; “Selection as a MCOY recipient has been life changing. Representing the Air Force, I pass on this honor by educating others on the military community and lifestyle, especially the hardships wounded veterans endure. Likewise, by allowing me the opportunity to focus on school rather than finances, MCOY was and is instrumental in my success.” Glenn is currently a freshman on the varsity cheerleading team at Brown University.
The Military Child of the Year® Award is a lifelong source of pride for the recipients and the program provides them with amazing opportunities to meet senior military leaders, elected officials, celebrities, and other remarkable military children.
“Being a MCOY recipient has allowed me to share my story… and has, in turn, strengthened my inner character, my devotion to making a difference, and deepened my compassion for others,” said Mary Cooper, the 2017 Coast Guard Military Child of the Year® Award recipient. Cooper is currently a freshman at Stanford University focusing on computer science, aeronautics, and astronautical engineering.
Thirty-five finalists will be selected in February by a panel of judges chosen by Operation Homefront’s senior leadership and Booz Allen Hamilton, a global technology and management consulting firm. The final seven award recipients will be announced in March. They will travel to Washington, D.C. to be recognized at a gala on April 18, during which senior leaders of each branch of service will present the awards. They also will each receive $10,000, a laptop computer, and other donated gifts.
Six Military Child of the Year® Award recipients will represent each branch of the armed forces — the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard — for their scholarship, volunteerism, leadership, extracurricular involvement, and other criteria while facing the challenges of military family life.
The seventh award is the Military Child of the Year® Award for Innovation presented by Booz Allen. This award goes to a military child who has designed a bold and creative solution to address a local, regional or global challenge. The MCOY Award for Innovation recipient will work directly with a team at the firm to develop a plan to help scale the recipient’s project — drawing on technology and strategic thinking as a part of the corporation’s competitive Summer Games.
The following are all the 2019 Military Child of the Year® Award semifinalists by service branch. Semifinalists for the 2019 Military Child of the Year® Award for Innovation are also designated:

NOVA Chemicals Joins Global Alliance as a Founding Member to Help End Plastic Waste in the Environment
Alliance to End Plastic Waste Members Commit $1 Billion
Calgary, Alberta, Canada , Jan. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
*Calgary, Alberta (January 16, 2019)* – NOVA Chemicals Corporation (“NOVA Chemicals”) today joined an alliance of global companies to advance solutions to reduce plastic waste in the environment, with a specific focus on ocean pollution. The Alliance to End Plastic Waste is comprised of nearly 30 companies that are making a combined initial commitment of $1 billion (USD) with a goal of $1.5 billion over five years.
“This investment demonstrates our commitment to helping to shape a world that is better tomorrow than it is today,” said Todd Karran, President and CEO, NOVA Chemicals. “Plastic waste in our environment is a growing challenge, but a solvable one with strong leadership and collaboration. We are proud to join the Alliance to End Plastic Waste as a founding member and work with other industry leaders to address this concern.”
“Plastics are valuable materials that make our modern lives healthier, easier and safer,” said John Thayer, Senior Vice President, Polyethylene Business at NOVA Chemicals. “We also recognize the need to work toward the creation of a circular plastics economy that reduces waste and encourages reuse, recycling and regeneration.”
The Alliance to End Plastic Waste will be a stand-alone, not-for-profit organization composed of companies that make, use, sell, process, collect and recycle plastics, including chemicals, plastics and consumer goods producers, retailers, converters, and waste management companies. Over the next five years, the Alliance will work with governments, institutions, companies, non-government organizations and communities to support investments and programs to help eliminate plastic waste in the environment and drive progress in four key areas:
· *Infrastructure development* to manage waste and increase recycling;
· *Innovation* to develop and bring to scale new materials and product designs that minimize waste and new recycling technologies that create value from all post-use plastics;
· *Education and engagement* of governments at all levels, communities, businesses and even individuals; and
· *Clean up* of concentrated areas of waste in the environment, particularly the major conduits of waste that carry land-based waste to waterways.
NOVA Chemicals is already taking action to prevent plastic from reaching the ocean. The company recently announced its investment of nearly USD $2 million (EUR 1.5 million) to support Project STOP - an initiative to design and implement solutions to reduce marine plastic pollution, with a primary focus area of Indonesia.
“We are excited to announce our participation in the Alliance to End Plastic Waste as yet another way we are committed to being a responsible global citizen,” said Thayer.
Editors and Reporters are invited to visit NOVA Chemicals’ online news room for digital images, a fact sheet and video about the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. To watch the organization’s launch event, visit www.endplasticwaste.org.
