Preliminary Analysis of Potential Sites for New Boat Clubs in Hong KongDesigningHongKong
On Friday 16 December 2011, the Town Planning Board rejected the development of a marina,
hotel and luxury housing on Lamma. This, despite the financial firepower from a listed company, and the employment of a senior member of the Town Planning Board and a well-known person in Hong Kong's sailing scene. (Planning Application Y/I-LI/1 - http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/en/plan_application/Y_I-LI_1.html). (http://www.bol-hk.com/)
The proposal from the developer who owns a few village and agriculture lots on Lamma was too far-fetched, but the large-scale marina, water sports and sailing centre captured the imagination of many and was strongly supported by the Home Affairs Bureau and Tourism Commission.
With our 1,000 kilometres of spectacular coastline, more than 250 islands and beautiful seas, Hong Kong is desperately short of facilities that allow the public to enjoy Hong Kong's waters for leisure, recreation and sports.
People are forced to use crumbling steps to get on and off boats in hot spots such as Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay. Our few water sports and sailing centres are full. No one can afford the private marinas and their waiting lists for boat moorings are very long.
Hong Kong desperately needs public clubs where people can store and maintain boating equipment. Buses and the MTR do not welcome passengers carrying surfboards. No one has a garden or shed, or apartments big enough to store sports equipment.
The Home Affairs Bureau, which happily endorsed the destruction of Lamma, should take charge.
It has so far failed to ensure that man-made waterfronts, where there is no threat to the environment, have facilities for water-based leisure, recreation and sports. Ma On Shan, Kai Tak, Tseung Kwan O and Aberdeen/Ap Lei Chau are ideal with their road and rail access and large local populations. The opportunity for water activities on Junk Bay was identified as early as 1982.
Rather than a world-class municipal marina and sailing facilities, all that is available today in Tseung Kwan O is a small unlicensed private operator, the Hoi Fan Fishing Club, where you have to climb over fences and rocks to get onto a small rented sampan with an outboard engine.
Unless the bureau starts to care, the planned cross-bay bridge will block sail boats from using Junk Bay. And we will be able to look at the water, but not get on it and use it.

For many Agile teams, delivering software is the end of a journey. We ship one feature, have a beer, and move on to the next highest feature on the product backlog. However, shipping software is simply the beginning. Several studies cite that users on average use less than 30% of the features in a software application, yet our goals and metrics seem aligned with shipping more features. Agile teams talk more about increasing throughput or reducing cycle time than building features that better engaging with their users, so in some ways, Agile has actually accelerated the pace of ‘feature-itis.’
Balancing Cloud-Based Email Benefits With SecuritySymantec
As organizations try to take advantage of the business benefits and cost savings afforded by cloud offerings, email software as a service (SaaS) stands as one of the easiest first paths toward cloud adoption. Generally simple to set up and maintain, cloud email often is the first win for organizations that may not yet have the wherewithal for more complex cloud deployments.
Unsurprisingly, statistics show that 58% of businesses today have already migrated to cloud email.1 And the enterprise is also quickly catching up. Gartner estimates that between 2014 and 2017, the percent of email seats based on a cloud or SaaS model will triple.2 Many reputable cloud email providers do offer some fundamental security controls bundled into their services. Nevertheless, organizations struggle to find the right balance of ease of use for their employees and cloud cost savings. After all, they must still maintain the same level of security their organization came to expect when email was hosted on internal infrastructure in their on-premises environments.

Masterclass Our Oceans Challenge / Thursday 23 February 2017Maurice Jansen
The theme of the Masterclass of Thursday 23 February centered around Our Oceans Challenge, a crowdsourcing initiative of a number of leading Dutch maritime and offshore companies and knowledge partners. The aim is to generate as much as feasible ideas towards five major challenges. In two sequential masterclasses, approximately 100 students and young professionals of Rotterdam Mainport University, Netherlands Maritime University and YoungShip Rotterdam engaged in brainstorm sessions leading to concrete ideas. All of these activities were then posted on the online crowdsourcing platform.
World oceans cover roughly 70% of planet and provide thè source of live on Earth. Following the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) the seabed area and its mineral resources are declared as the heritage of mankind. Despite or maybe because of the common right of access to the sea and its resources, our oceans are under pressure. Ecosystems are slow to recover because of exploitation from activities onshore, offshore or from relentless fishery. And yet, it provides for millions and millions of people’s quality of life, employment and existence. Our Oceans Challenge (OOC) believes that despite the challenges, there are opportunities to balance ocean protection with the responsible use and exploitation of ocean space and resources. OOC calls upon the industry to show its responsibility and time to generate breakthrough ideas. The aim is to accelerate innovative and sustainable ideas into viable business.
As an introduction Dr Luc Cuyvers - with his passion for the sea and track record as a documentary maker, author and ocean and marine researcher – provided the audience with an anthology of the issues that he has witnessed in the past 35 to 40 years in his career. Subsequently to Cuyvers’ introduction presentation, Mattijs Bolk, one of the driving forces behind OOC explained how this crowdsourcing initiative started. The ambition is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Living Oceans. Heerema Contractors took this open innovation initiative last year and this year invited other offshore contractors, knowledge partners and launch partners to join. The biggest challenge for the industry is to develop sustainable business models.
With these challenges students and young maritime professionals went along and engaged in creative brainstorming process, facilitated by people from Our Oceans Challenge. The workshop outputs consisted of various rough ideas that were immediately posted on the OOC open innovation platform. Good ideas are taken further in this platform, enriched with the expertise, insights and thoughts of other industry specialists. From the current 111 ideas, the best ideas will be taken into the development phase, and accelerate into ready-to-use business solutions. All students who are active on the platform will be able to follow how these ideas find its ways to a sustainable offshore industry.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

In Ocean Sustainability:
Industry Leadership and Collaboration
Paul Holthus
CEO
World Ocean Council

3. The diverse “Ocean Business Community”
1. Direct Ocean Users
Industries that depend on the ocean for the
extraction or production of goods (living, non-living,
energy) and the provision of services (transport,
tourism, etc.)
2. Ocean User Support Industries
Industries that depend on direct users for their
existence (e.g. shipbuilders) or drive ocean industry
growth (e.g. extractors, manufacturers, retailers that
transport materials or products by sea)
3. Essential Ocean Use “Infrastructure”
Insurance, finance, legal and other essential
services that enable ocean industries to operate
4. Growing Ocean Use
• Cruise and coastal tourism
• Shipping
• Offshore oil and gas
• Fisheries
• Aquaculture
• Mining
• Dredging
• Submarine cables/pipelines
• Offshore wind energy
• Wave/tidal energy
• Ports/marinas
• Recreational/sport boating
• Desalination
• Carbon sequestration
• Navy/military use
Expanding
•Kinds of use
•Levels of activity

o Intensity
o Frequency
•Location of activity
o Geographical

o Frequency
7. The Ocean Business Community Challenge
•
Ocean industries require access and the social license to
use ocean space and resources.
•
Many of the critical issues affecting access and social
license are cross-cutting or cumulative.
•
Sustaining ocean health and productivity requires
responsible use and stewardship by all users.
•
Best efforts by a single company, or an entire industry
sector, are not enough to secure ocean health.
•
Ocean industries will benefit from collaboration with other
sectors to create synergies and economies of scale to
address issues and ensure access and social license.
•
Need structure/process for companies to collaborate.
8. World Ocean Council
International, Cross-Sectoral Business Leadership Alliance
•Bringing ocean industries together, e.g. shipping, oil/gas,
fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, offshore renewables, etc.
•Catalyzing leadership and collaboration in addressing ocean
sustainability - “Corporate Ocean Responsibility”
Goal A healthy and productive global ocean and its sustainable
use, development and stewardship by a responsible ocean
business community
Creating business value for responsible companies
•Access and social license for responsible ocean use
•Synergies and economies of scale in addressing issues
•Stability and predictability in ocean operations

14. 5. Smart Ocean / Smart Industries
Ensure wide range of industry vessels and platforms are:
•Improving the understanding, modeling and forecasting
of oceanic ecosystems, resources, weather, climate
variability and climate change, and…
•Contributing to describing the status, trends and
variability of oceanographic and atmospheric conditions,
by…
•Providing routine, sustained, standardized information on
the ocean and atmosphere
15. Industry leadership in ocean knowledge
Establish a international, multi-industry program to:
•Expand the number of vessels and platforms that collect
standardized ocean, weather and climate data
•Improve the coordination and efficiency of data sharing
and input to national/international systems
•Build on existing “ships/platforms of opportunity”
programs, e.g. Ferry box
•Enhance and advance the clear, compelling business
benefits of increased ocean data
