And government leadership and policy coordination. These themes are the three pillars, if you will, of whats necessary to move forward with the development. The first two listed are in the Environmental Stewardship theme and the first is that industry and regulators should Work Together to analyze these new technologies for well control. The second speaks to Oil Spill Response in ice and there is an Industry Collaborative Research project thats been under way since 2012 that has been evaluating Response Technologies developed in temperate climates to see how they will perform in the arctic and we recommend that Government Agencies form that collaborative and there are eight International Companies participating. In the area of economic viability we make two recommendations and the first is around extending the drilling season. The picture at the left illustrates the challenge, currently the exploration drilling season is conducted in the winter or in the summer, excuse me, when the wat
Technology exploration now is to look at ways to bring electrooptical sensors into this architecture beyond that opir sensor, that Missile Warning sensor that kicks these things off. And were going to do that by capitalizing on the work thats being done in industry today. Both on sensors, as well as on building Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that fly at very high at attitudes. A High Altitude platform is also key to one of the other investments we want to make. So if we go back just a few years here, we made a big bet on airborne layser in the light 90s and early 2000s. And that system that we built, although it was very effective in doing that one particular job we had for it, which is proving that you could shoot down a rocket at the speed of light using light a tremendous accomplishment. Although, it proved impractical from an operational standpoint, you can imagine have a fleet of 737s flying at 33,000 feet with a laser system in them. There is a lot of challenges in that. What we know n
Background. There were 10 speakers at his funeral. His son spoke first about his leadership. His second son spoke last about what a good father he was. In the middle, there were representatives of every ethnic group in singapore who talk about how he had made a home for them inclusion. He was rigorous in the pursuit of corruption from cabinet ministers to overcharging people for fines. Yellow people who are part of his Political Movement to go to prison. They got rid of corruption. A place where people wanted to be. Where everything was on the up and up. Things were on the level. It made a huge difference. The third thing you want to do was to have an alliance with the United States for security purposes. Finally, he launched a constant organized effort to modernize the country educationally technologically, and to maintain social cohesion. With methods we thought were pretty severe, including caning mel doers maldoers, but it worked. Singapore banning chewing gum. They were leaving to
Happening in multiple countries, dealing with multiple actors. So, here again, i think patience is the key. And in that rather sad landscape, tunisia is a perl of reception pearl of reception, of understanding. So naturally, i think all who care are very grateful for the excellent support that has been provided by tunisia. When you think of the tunisian case, i, in my background, think as well of lebanon and other countries that have been impacted by the the surge of instability and insecurity in north africa, as well as in the center of the middle east around the syrian refugee album because there are refugee problem because there are relations. And has been a focus on how lebanon has been impacted in particular, lebanon by how the incredible number of refugees. I think we also have to think about tunisia in a significant way. And we can provide, as an International Community, direct support for relief to refugees. But, as you have said, they are part of the community in many ways. Th
Past several years, tell us a little bit about that. The executive chef, thisll be his 11th dinner he will be serving. He began 11 years ago and the first night working was for the White House Correspondent association dinner. We broke him in well. Our longestserving team members celebrated 50 years of the hotel. He served all 47 dinners. Tell us about the menu. He said theres a process in choosing it. What is it this year . The menu is very unique every year. We are looking to source local ingredients as much as possible from 150 miles of the hotel. Honestly, we are really interested in what is going to serve well for 2600 people in a ballroom and knowing the time constraints and the schedule that involves secret service timing, the show timing of the event and all of that. It is about what holds well and what will move quickly on to the table and what will be fresh and hot in front of the guests. Reporter how early do they start preparing . Some things a few days ahead. 4 00 a. M. On
