Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the New Integrated Terminal Building of Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair via video conferencing today. With a construction cost of around Rs 710 crores, the new terminal building is capable of handling about 50 lakh passengers annually.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that even though today’s program is taking place in Port Blair, the entire nation is keenly looking towards the Union Territory as the demand for increasing the passenger handling capacity of Veer Savarkar International Airport is being fulfilled. The Prime Minister also expressed his desire to be present on the occasion as he could experience the joyous environment and happy faces of the citizens. “Those who wished to visit Andaman also demanded a larger capacity airport”, he added. 

Further speaking on the growing desire for expansion of the airport facilities at Port Blair, the Prime Minister informed that till now the existing terminal had the capacity to handle 4000 tourists, and the new terminal has taken this number to 11,000 and 10 planes can be parked at any given time on the airport now. More flights and tourists will bring more jobs to the area, he said. Port Blair’s new terminal building will increase Ease of Travel, Ease of Doing Business and connectivity, the Prime Minister added. 

“The scope of development has been limited to big cities for a long time in India”, the Prime Minister said, as he highlighted that the Adivasi and island regions of the country were devoid of development for a long time. He said that in the last 9 years, the present government has not only rectified the mistakes of the governments of the past with utmost sensitivity but also come up with a new system. “A new model of development of inclusion has come up in India. The model is of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’”, the Prime Minister said. He explained that this model of development is very comprehensive and includes the development of every region and every section of society, and every aspect of life such as education, health and connectivity.

The Prime Minister said that in the last 9 years, a new story of development has been written in Andaman. In the 9 years of the previous government Andaman and Nicobar received a budget of Rs 23,000 crores, whereas in the last nine years of the present government, a budget of about Rs 48,000 crores was allocated for Andaman and Nicobar. Similarly, during the 9 years of the previous government 28,000 households were connected with piped water, this number in the last 9 years is 50,000. Today, the Prime Minister continued, everyone in Andaman and Nicobar has a bank account and the facility of One Nation One Ration Card. The current government is also responsible for the medical college in Port Blair whereas, earlier, there was no medical college in the Union territory. Earlier, the Internet was solely dependent on satellites, now, he said, the present government took the initiative of laying the undersea optical fiber of hundreds of kilometres. 

The Prime Minister said that this expansion of facilities is giving momentum to tourism here. Mobile connectivity, health infrastructure, airport facilities and roads promote the arrival of tourists. That is why, said Shri Modi,  tourist footfall has doubled as compared to 2014. Adventure tourism is also thriving and the numbers will rise manifold in the coming years. 

“Andaman is becoming a living and breathing example of the maha-mantra of development and heritage going hand in hand”, the Prime Minister remarked. The Prime Minister noted that even though the Tiranga was hoisted in Andaman way before it was hoisted in the Red Fort, one could only find signs of slavery on the island. He expressed gratitude for getting the opportunity to hoist the national flag at the exact same spot where Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose once hoisted the Tiranga. The Prime Minister highlighted that it was the present government that renamed Ross Island as Netaji Subhas Island, Havelock Island as Swaraj Island and Neil Island as Shaheed Island. He also touched upon renaming the 21 islands after the Param Vir Chakra awardees. “Development of Andaman and Nicobar Islands has become a source of inspiration for the youth of the country”, he added.  

The Prime Minister said that India would have scaled new heights in the last 75 years of Independence as there is no doubt about the capabilities of the Indians. However, the Prime Minister emphasized, corruption and dynastic politics always did injustice to the strengths of the common citizens. The Prime Minister also highlighted the opportunistic politics of certain parties. He criticised the politics of casteism and corruption. He also criticized the acceptance of the people under the cloud of corruption and who, in some cases, are on bail and even convicted. He attacked the mentality of holding the Constitution hostage. He pointed out that such forces are focused on selfish family gains rather than on the development of common citizens. Shri Modi underlined the strength of the youth of India in the fields of defence and startup and lamented how no justice was done for this strength of the youth. 

Concluding the address, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to dedicate ourselves to the development of the country. The Prime Minister said that there are many examples of islands and small coastal countries that have made unprecedented progress in the world today. He highlighted that even though the path of progress is filled with challenges, development arrives with all kinds of solutions. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that the development work being done in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands will further strengthen the entire region. 

Background

Enhancing connectivity infrastructure has been a major focus of the government. The inauguration of the New Integrated Terminal Building, built at a cost of around Rs 710 crores, will play a key role in boosting connectivity of the island UT. With a total built-up area of around 40,800 sqm., the new terminal building will be capable of handling about 50 lakh passengers annually. An Apron suitable for two Boeing-767-400 and two Airbus-321 types of aircraft has also been constructed at Port Blair Airport at a cost of Rs 80 Crores, making the airport now suitable for parking ten aircraft at a time.

Inspired by nature, the architectural design of the airport terminal resembles a shell-shaped structure depicting the sea and islands. The new airport terminal building has a number of sustainability features like Double Insulated Roofing System to reduce heat gain, skylights to provide maximum inlet of abundant natural sunlight during day time to reduce artificial light usage inside the building, LED lighting, and low heat gain glazing. Rainwater catchment in an underground water tank, an on-site sewage treatment plant with 100% of treated wastewater reused for landscaping and a 500 KW solar power plant are some other features of the terminal building to ensure a minimal negative impact on the islands’ environment.

As a gateway to the pristine islands of Andaman and Nicobar, Port Blair is a popular destination for tourists. The spacious New Integrated Terminal Building will boost air traffic and help enhance tourism in the region. It will also help create enhanced employment opportunities for the local community and give a fillip to the region’s economy.

The Easiest Way to Customise Promotional Badges for Your Business

Using promotional badges to market your business’s brand is an affordable yet effective marketing strategy. What’s more, you have a lot of options to customise your branded badges to suit your needs and those of your targeted users.

In a modern business setup, most promotional badges are used for marketing products target young users, corporate users, travellers, and badge collectors. If you are sure of where your business fits, then you will be ready to customise your badges. Let’s dive in.

Choose an Appropriate Seller of Promotional Badges

Today, there are many companies that sell promotional badges, and all have a website where potential customers can check what they offer. If you are looking for the best customised branded badges to promote your business, then start by doing research on the web as well as social media platforms.

Consider promotional badge companies with a reputation for customization of badges, great customer service, affordability, and reliability. For added creativity, look for companies that offer machine embroidery designs, allowing you to create unique and high-quality badges. Fortunately, you can evaluate all these by reading online reviews.

Check Their Customisation Catalogue

A great promotional badge seller should have a catalogue with easy customisation. This will mainly allow you to customise the following.

  • The design – They offer a variety of designs to choose from. Some even allow you to bring or create unique designs, especially if you are a branded badge buyer. 
  • Size – Some designs are big while others are small. Consider your users and ensure they get a functional design. For instance, corporate pin badges should be small and neatly finished for ease of wearing on a suit or other office clothes, while metal and PVC badges targeting students can be big and colourful to entice them to wear them.
  • Colours – Focus on colours that promote your brand such as your logo colours. After choosing a design, you can discuss how to blend the colours in that design.

How to Customise the Promotional Message

The most important aspect when shopping for promotional badges is the marketing message they will carry. Some badges such as pin badges are small, so they can only carry a logo, while others such as enamel and PVC badges can have a logo and the brand name because they are large.

You should brainstorm this carefully to have an appealing badge that does not compromise on its usefulness. The badge design should encourage users to wear them so that they can advertise your brand wherever they go. 

The Cost of Customised Promotional Badges

Customised badges come at different prices depending on their customisation. For instance, PVC badges are cheaper than high-quality metal pin badges because of the materials they use. Additionally, the number of badges you need, the colours you choose, the size, and the overall design will determine the price per piece.

So, take your time to assess and plan for your promotional badges so that you can get the best deal, especially if you plan to use this strategy in the long term. 

Final Thoughts

Promotional badges can effectively promote your brand to increase its recognition, grow your customer base, and push your profit margins higher. It is time to decide whether this is a worthy strategy to promote your business or not. Now that you have the insights, you can easily make the right decision.

What function does a pressure transducer in a natural gas pipeline network system serve?

They will tell you to watch your pipeline networks, yet all you have as an instrument console that piggybacks some values on pipe pressure. So where is the real eye? It follows that the natural gas pipelines do have components that work harmoniously. 

But the pressure transducer is at the center of it all. So, what role does it play in these systems? Keep reading for more.

Monitoring pressure to guarantee safety in natural gas pipelines

The pressure transducer in natural gas pipelines measures the gas or oil pressure and then converts into an electrical signal. So, the transducer has sensors capable of monitoring pressure levels and variations. 

Since safety is prime in natural gas pipeline systems, you must maintain it optimally to reduce accidents. The transducer will be within the network 24/7 providing real-time data. As such, the operators can swiftly notice any anomaly or fluctuations from the normal pressure.

Through early detection, corrective action may be subsequent. And that’s all you need to evade disaster. Not just on the pipeline but the vicinities around the pipeline network.

Regulating natural gas flow in pipeline networks 

The gas flow needs to be efficient. It’s the only way to optimize its movement within the pipes. The pressure transducer regulates the natural gas flow by maintaining the optimal pressure. 

The transducer is like a control mechanism. As a result, it controls the adjustments of the flow rate. But this only happens through monitoring the real-time pressure within the pipe and providing the operators with updates. It’s up to the operator to figure out flow modulation. 

Pressure transducers help to avoid natural gas pipeline failures 

Pipeline failures occur frequently. That’s why detection and prevention are advised. That not only saves lives but also saves the environment. The reliability of the gas flow can also be guaranteed. 

Having a pressure transducer in the pipeline network means you can monitor pressure drops, breaches and surges which can damage the pipeline structure. So, as the operator, it allows you to address the anomalies and evade catastrophic failure. 

Pressure transducers in natural gas pipelines guarantee efficiency 

Optimizing the pressure flow is a shortcut to efficiency. Think of it; you get real-time data from the transducer regarding the pressure flow. This helps you interpret when repairs are needed, how to plan on flow capacity and when to maintain. 

Those are just some of the obstacles that can be achieved when dealing with a natural, efficient and undisturbed flow. It’s a proactive approach that reduces inconveniences in pipeline networks. 

Wrap up 

So that’s it. Pressure transducers are the core of natural gas pipeline networks. From safeguarding the pipeline, ensuring efficient flow, and monitoring to regulating pressure flow, they are your watchdog. But now, when getting a pressure transducer for oil and gas networks, you will realize the market is overflown with multiple brands. 

One mistake and you are landing an unreliable product. On the other hand, MicroSensor keeps proving itself a reputable manufacturer with reliable customer support. Currently, it will be worth checking their accurate pressure transducers.

Chris Brummer Named Jones Day Professor in Commercial Law at Singapore Management University

Thought leader Chris Brummer was named the 2022 Jones Day Professor in Commercial Law at Singapore Management University’s Yong Pung How School of Law. A prestigious honor, the professorship was established in 2012 and made possible by a $500,000 grant from the Jones Day Foundation, funded by the eponymous global law firm. It aims to streamline efforts to aid in the development of commercial law in the fast-growing market of Singapore.

According to the university, “The donation exemplifies Jones Day’s commitment to Singapore and the Asia Pacific region, which are an integral part of Jones Day’s Asian presence. The appointment follows the establishment of the Jones Day Chair Professorship for Globalization and Rule of Law at Peking University, China, in May 2012.”

Additionally, “The donation is the largest gift received by SMU from a law firm and will facilitate increased focus on the development of commercial law in Singapore, a market which is in continuous development and increasingly plays a global role as a hub for legal services to both regional and international clients in Asia.”

Brummer currently serves as the Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Financial Technology at Georgetown University Law Center and faculty director at the Institute for International Economic Law. He’s sought after as an adviser for policymakers, founders, startups, and nonprofits on the unique challenges erupting in the world of finance, regulation, and inclusion. 

The Georgetown professor has dedicated several years to public service and volunteer work across various government organizations. In 2016, he was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as a commissioner on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. regulator of derivatives. More recently, he served as a member of the Biden-Harris transition team, assisting in matters relating to financial technology, racial equity, and systemic risk.

Brummer also delivered the annual lecture at Singapore Management University on Dec. 1, 2022. The talk is titled “Regulation by Enforcement” and was based on a co-authored project with professors from Vanderbilt Law School and The Wharton School. 

“[Brummer] will offer preliminary observations concerning its legality under U.S. law and provide an overview of the opportunities, trade-offs, and risks. He will then end by cataloging some best practices for global regulators, regardless of their jurisdiction,” explains SMU’s website.

Chris Brummer’s speech highlighted recent trends in the world of regulation. The arrival of disruptive technologies such as cryptocurrency and the challenges they present for regulators have given rise to a reactionary system of regulation termed regulation by enforcement. Regulation by enforcement is an approach that relies heavily on enforcement actions, such as fines and penalties, to ensure compliance with regulations. This reactive approach, although legal, can create a perception that regulators are overly punitive and can lead to an adversarial relationship between regulators and the community at large.

Recent cases like that of Coinbase, in which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asserted that at least nine out of 25 cryptocurrencies involved in an insider trading scheme were securities, have left the industry reeling. Instead of providing enough clarity on the issue, industry experts believe that the SEC is using enforcement actions to interpret broadly worded statutes. 

In his lecture, Brummer analyzed the incentives facing agencies when choosing to regulate by enforcement while outlining the risks that arise with this style of creating rules. To aid in future endeavors, he also presented a framework of best practices that outline when agencies should regulate by rule and when they should regulate by enforcement. 

Brummer is an established player at the forefront of discussions surrounding developments in finance, innovation, regulation, and inclusion. He hosts CQ Roll Call’s “Fintech Beat” weekly podcast and is the founder and host of D.C. Fintech Week, a yearly conference at which the best and brightest gather for discussions spanning the fintech ecosystem. 

How To Find an Internet Plan With Additional Benefits

With an abundance of internet plans and providers available today, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is right for you. Consequently, it’s important to consider factors such as speed, cost, and reliability when making your decision, but also to research additional benefits that internet service providers (ISPs) may offer. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of finding an internet plan with added benefits that cater to your needs, saving you time and possibly money in the long run. Keep reading to learn more about

Research Benefits and Perks

Taking the time to research benefits and perks can make a significant difference in your overall experience with an ISP. Look for ISPs that offer additional services like free public Wi-Fi, email accounts, and cloud storage, as these can be convenient inclusions in your internet plan.

In addition, you can find providers who offer add-ons such as VPN services or cybersecurity tools to protect your network from malicious activities online. If you’re an Apple user, it might be important for your ISP to provide services like an iPhone battery replacement: what you need, which can save you time and effort should you require a new battery service in the future.

Taking advantage of such perks can save you money, improve your online experience and make life a little easier, so it’s worth investing time in researching your options and considering these benefits when making your decision.

Understand Your Usage Needs

It’s also crucial to determine your usage requirements. Consider factors like the number of devices connected to your network, your household’s online activities (such as streaming, gaming, and general browsing), and the frequency of peak usage hours in your home. This will help you identify the right combination of speed and data allowance.

Some ISPs offer package deals that may include unlimited data, so knowing how much data you will typically need is essential. Others may provide discounted bundles for TV or streaming services, which could save you money if you and your family enjoy watching movies or TV series online.

Knowing your usage requirements will help you cut through the clutter and focus on the plans that cater best to your unique situation. This step will also narrow down your options and make further comparisons between providers easier.

Evaluate Customer Support and Technical Assistance

An often underappreciated aspect of an internet plan is the quality of customer support and technical assistance provided by the ISP. After all, an internet plan with great features is of little use if the provider can’t resolve any issues or is difficult to contact.

Evaluate the communication channels the ISP offers for customer support, such as online chat, email, and phone services. Opt for ISPs with a reputation for prompt and efficient customer support to ensure any difficulties are swiftly resolved.

It’s also crucial to verify if your provider offers technical assistance during your usage hours. Some ISPs provide 24/7 support, whereas others have limited availability. Be sure to choose a provider that can accommodate your schedule and attend to your concerns when needed.

Read Reviews and Gather Recommendations

Lastly, make sure to read reviews and gather feedback from friends and online communities about ISPs and their internet plans. This can provide valuable insights into the firsthand experience of fellow users, offering an objective perspective on the ISPs’ reliability, performance, and customer support.

Also, pay attention to reviews on websites like social media or online forums, which can provide the most up-to-date information on the provider’s services. Don’t hesitate to ask friends or family members for their opinions on their internet plans, as they can share valuable information from personal experiences.

Gathering recommendations and insights from multiple sources can help you make a well-rounded decision, ensuring you choose an internet plan with additional benefits that are genuinely useful and valuable to you.

Altogether, finding an internet plan with added benefits involves understanding your usage needs, researching perks and services, evaluating customer support, and gathering recommendations. Taking the time to explore these aspects can help you make an informed decision, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable internet experience tailored to your needs.

Should You Consider Hiring A Tutor?

If you’re trying to learn Portuguese on your own, hiring a tutor can help you reach your learning goals quicker and more effectively. With a personalized tutor, you can receive tailored guidance, dynamic resources, and constructive feedback to help you better understand the language. With enough assistance and encouragement, you’ll make leaps and bounds faster than if you were learning on your own! 

That said, not every tutor is right for every student. Before signing up with a tutor, there are several factors you should consider in order to make sure they’re the best fit for your learning style and goals.

What To Look For On A Portuguese Tutor

Qualifications And Language Proficiency

One of the most important factors to look for when choosing your teacher is to make sure the tutor is certified in teaching Portuguese as a foreign language. This will also ensure that they are fluent in the language, which means that they’ll be able to provide quality instruction.

Additionally, having knowledge about the culture of the country or countries where Portuguese is spoken can be beneficial for understanding different dialects and learning colloquialisms.

When possible, look for tutors who specialize in Brazilian or European Portuguese. This way you can ensure that your studies are tailored towards whichever type of Portuguese you would like to learn.

It’s also a good idea to research tutors’ previous experience with other students and get references if possible.If you’re using a specialized platform like Classgap, you can always check customer reviews and ask questions about their teaching methods and approach to learning a new language—this will help you decide which tutor is right for you.

Availability And Flexibility

When looking for an online Portuguese tutor, it’s important to consider their availability and flexibility.

A good tutor should be available at a variety of times to accommodate the student’s schedule. They should be flexible enough to adjust to the schedule and skill level of their students as needed.

A further significant aspect is the tutor’s attitude towards learning. A good tutor should be patient and encouraging, helping the student build confidence in their abilities.

In addition, they need to supply the student with enjoyable activities and materials that keep their attention throughout the course.

Overall, finding an online Portuguese tutor that is both available and flexible, with a positive attitude towards learning, can help ensure that the student has a successful learning experience.

Teaching Style And Methodology

In order to gain the most from an online Portuguese tutor, it is important to consider the teaching style and methodology they use. The way a teacher approaches their lessons can be as important as the knowledge they impart; different styles may suit different individuals or learning objectives.

An effective tutor should be able to build a rapport with their students, while providing clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary points. They should also give feedback on pronunciation, sentence structure and other aspects of the language that require practice.

For those who are already familiar with Portuguese, an experienced tutor can help them go beyond their existing knowledge. An ideal instructor will have a range of resources and activities at their disposal which could help stretch students’ abilities further. This could include reading materials, listening exercises or even games to help make lessons more interesting.

Cost And Payment Structure
