Leyte province's capital of Tacloban, with a population of 220,000, bore the brunt. The city and nearby villages as far as one kilometer from shore were flooded by the storm surge, leaving floating bodies and roads choked with debris from fallen trees, tangled power lines and flattened homes. TV footage showed children clinging to rooftops for their lives.
" From a helicopter, you can see the extent of devastation. From the shore and moving a kilometer inland, there are no structures standing. It was like a tsunami," said Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas, who had been in Tacloban since before the typhoon struck the city, about 580 km (360 miles) southeast of Manila.
" I don't know how to describe what I saw. It's horrific."

(Sunday, Reuters) - Super typhoon Haiyan ever recorded killed at least 10,000 people in the central Philippines province of Leyte, with coastal towns and the regional capital devastated by huge waves. It destroyed about 70 to 80% of the area in its path as it tore through the province on Friday, said chief superintendent Elmer Soria, a regional police director.
Most of the deaths appear to have been caused by surging sea water strewn with debris that many described as similar to a tsunami, which leveled houses and drowned hundreds of people.
On Saturday. The national govt and disaster agency have not confirmed the latest estimate of deaths, a sharp increase from initial estimates of at least 1,000 killed. " We had a meeting last night with the governor and the other officials. The governor said, based on their estimate, 10,000 died," Soria told Reuters. " The devastation is so big."

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/why-the-haiti-earthquake-may-not-have-been-a-natural-disaster-6275044.html
Findings suggest that cutting down trees on steep slopes may increase risk of not only landslides but earthquakes in heavily deforested places such as Haiti, which suffered a devastating magnitude 7 quake in 2010.
" The 2010 earthquake hit Haiti occurred 18 mths after the same area was hit by two tropical storms and two hurricanes, It can happen in other mountainous areas affected by cyclones, such as Japan, the Philippines, and maybe Central America,"
Geologists have previously discounted the idea - New study suggests a different mechanism based on changes to the weight of soil and other ground material bearing down on a geological fault under seismic stress.
" Very wet rain events are the trigger. Heavy rain induces thousands of landslides and severe erosion, which removes ground material from the Earth's surface, releasing the stress and encouraging movement along faults (earthquakes belt)."
Dr Wdowinski said, analysis of timing of earthquakes and cyclones in Taiwan over the past 60 years has demonstrated a statistical correlation, with a significant number of quakes bigger than 6 occurring within four years of major cyclones ? known as typhoons in the Far East.
Taiwan was hit in 1969 by Typhoon Flossie, then a 6.2 quake hit Taiwan in 1972. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot was followed by a 6.2 quake in the same year, and a 6.4 quake in 2010. Typhoon Herb, in 1996, was followed by a 6.2 quake in 1998 and a 7.6 quake in 1999.
Deforestation and extreme weather may later cause earthquakes, scientists believe.

first evidence that millions of tons of a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere from beneath the Arctic seabed has been discovered by scientists.
Underground stores of methane are important because scientists believe their sudden release has in the past been responsible for rapid increases in global temperatures, dramatic changes to the climate, and even the mass extinction of species.
Arctic region as a whole has seen a 4C rise in average temperatures over recent decades and a dramatic decline in the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by summer sea ice. Many scientists fear that the loss of sea ice could accelerate the warming trend because open ocean soaks up more heat from the sun than the reflective surface of an ice-covered sea.

Haiyan causing major damage across a 600-kilometre stretch of islands through the central Philippines. Ferocious winds, Haiyan generated storm surges that saw waves three metres (10 feet) high swamp coastal towns and power inland.
" This is destruction on a massive scale. There are cars thrown like tumble weed and the streets are strewn with debris," said Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, the head of a United Nations disaster assessment coordination team.
" The last time I saw something of this scale was in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami," he said, referring to the 2004 disaster that claimed about 220,000 lives.
Stampa made his comments after arriving in Tacloban, the destroyed capital of Leyte with a population of about 220,000 people that is about 10 kilometres from Palo. Worst-hit areas on Leyte and Samar, isolated by destroyed power and communication lines as well as damaged roads, had yet to be contacted.
One area of concern yet to be reached was Guiuan, a fishing town of about 40,000 people on Samar that was the first to be hit after Haiyan swept in from the Pacific Ocean.
Capiz province, about 200 kilometres west of Tacloban, on Panay island. Capiz's infrastructure had been destroyed and many houses " flattened to the ground" . Philippines Red Cross chief Gwendolyn Pang. She said.
Race to reach devastated communities....

A signal of intent. PrimePartners, Morgan Stanley Asia (S'pore), Deloitte & Touche and Lee & Lee are among those that have been or will be appointed. (This term will play their part for Albedo success)
Significance: The entire development of all seven parcels will take up to 15 years, which stems the significance of the commitment between both parties. If all goes well, the first parcel will get its development order in January, and the RTO is expected to complete in March after a shareholders? meeting.
Exe Director, corporate finance of Infinite Rewards - Leong Choon Meng.
teeth53 thot - They are known to bring success with big money involved and significant development for the next 15 years. (Slow n steady one). Phase one will be involve a very big plot of land for developing.
In between 15 years, there maybe a possibility of some changes to the games as plan for Albedo - 15 years?. All for the success for Albedo.

Think - China's yards will likely pose a new challenge to S'pore yards.
In short term, S'pore yards could benefit, by leveraging on the cost and market experience an advantage and securing a foothold in that market.
Competition from China also serves as a big motivation for the S'pore players to become more competitive in order to stay ahead of the game.
Other OSV players listed on SGX include - Jaya, ASL Marine, Nam Cheong, Vard and Otto Marine.
just sharing info on SJ for would be players interest in OSV players.

Lee & Lee, one of Singapore's most established and leading law firms, provides a comprehensive range of legal services to serve the differing needs of individuals and companies. Its areas of practice include banking, corporate, competition, intellectual property, litigation and dispute resolution, and real estate. Or....Dr. Lee Kong Chian..?.
Eventually he took up the rubber trade with Tan Kah Kee, a local tycoon and philanthropist who later became his father-in-law. Lee?s remarkable intelligence helped to distinguish him at work, and he eventually set out on his own in the rubber business. His progressive business acumen and scientifically oriented mind were rare among local entrepreneurs in that era. These assets and sheer industriousness helped him weather the economic turbulence of the 1930s, from which he emerged as a substantial landholder. Lee went on to diversify his business interests beyond rubber to include other agricultural products, real estate, insurance, and banking.
