Coordinating Ocean Observations for the African Coasts
The National Oceans and Coastal Information Management System (National-OCIMS) has established Earth observation technology capacity for the South African Exclusive Economic Zone as well as the extended continental shelf. The system delivers Earth observation data through an online operational system.
Among the 54 African states, 38 of them are coastal countries and as such, protecting the ocean and monitoring coastlines are necessary for the sustainable socio-economic development of the continent.
The National-OCIMS was initiated by the South African Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) and forms part of Operation Phakisa- Blue Economy initiative. The Blue Economy initiative aims to expand across the continent through AfriGEO.
The National-OCIMS has integrated Decision Support Tools (DeST) for sea state, water quality, harmful algal bloom, coastal erosion, oil spill detection and monitoring, as well as marine spatial planning.
For example, the Harmful Algal Bloom DeST supports aquaculture farms, commercial fisheries, subsistence fisheries with knowledge of when and where blooms occur. The Coastal Flood Hazard DeST supports coastal provinces and municipalities, town planners, disaster managers, environmental practitioners and others with up-to-date information on flooding. Key users and stakeholders include the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA), National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) and the Institute for Maritime Technology (IMT).
Using the Africa Regional Data Cube (ARDC) to monitor Mount Kenya forest
The forest sector in Kenya is the backbone to the country's economy and plays a significant role the ecological health of the region. Kenya's forest cover is estimated to be about 7.4% of the total land area. Mount Kenya forest is around 200,870.880 hectares and spread out in Nyeri, Meru, Embu and Kirinyaga counties, according to the Kenya Forest Service (KFS).
The United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests 2017-2030 (UNSPF) provides a global framework for action at all levels to sustainably manage all types of forests, as well as trees outside forests, and halt deforestation and forest degradation. Thus, the framework contributes to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, especially SDG 15 "Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss."
The Africa Regional Data Cube (ARDC) offers time series, free, and open EO data to address SDGs and to support five countries in Africa: Kenya, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Tanzania. This has the potential to exploit the growing volumes of EO data to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The ARDC will be scaled up to provide open data for the whole of Africa through Digital Earth Africa.
The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) in collaboration with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD), the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and Amazon Web Services have used the Africa Regional Data Cube (ARDC) to map forest cover in Mt. Kenya.
In this research, a methodology was developed to addresses two SDG indicators: SDG 15.1.1 - Forest area as a proportion of total land area, and SDG 15.3.1 - Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area. The ARDC used several algorithms to detect deforestation such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Water Observations from Space (WOfS), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), and Fractional Coverage.

"The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) has been mandated with the task of monitoring forest cover. Earth observation provides an opportunity to map forests. However, this has been a daunting task of downloading images, some with clouds and image processing takes time. The Africa Regional Data Cube (ARDC) provides time series, cloud free mosaics and will help us in providing timely information for decision making". John Ndambiri, Head of Forest Planning and Information System, Kenya Forest Service (KFS).
& Monitoring Service
Several African nations are benefitting from a Regional Cropland Assessment and Monitoring Service.
The Regional Cropland Assessment and Monitoring Service seeks to provide timely information for food security assessments through the development of national and regional crop monitors in East Africa, including Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Djibouti and Eritrea.
The crop monitors are helping streamline data collection and synthesize crop conditions through a combination of field assessments and earth observation data. Information about crop conditions is supplemented with climate outlook and market information. The resulting maps provide an understanding of crop conditions and drivers of less than favorable conditions.
The service has been co-developed by RCMRD/SERVIR-Eastern and Southern Africa, University of Maryland, College Park, Kenya State Department of Crops Development, ICPA, GEOGLAM, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, FAO, FEWSNET using satellite data and products from CHIRPS, LANDSAT 5, LANDSAT 7, LANDSAT 8, MODIS, Sentinel.
Users include the State Department of Crops Development in the Ministry of Agriculture Livestock Fisheries and Irrigation (Kenya), IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre, Famine Early Warning Network (FEWSNET), Food and Agriculture Organization, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Extension officers and field agents.
The service facilitates a crop modelling framework to assess drought and yields. Additional activities include supporting the Kenya Government crop insurance programme by developing a geospatially informed sampling frame. The sampling frame has resulted in over 70% cost reduction and reduced sampling time - increasing efficiency and reducing bias in sample selection. Overall, the service supports enhanced food security decisions from the local to regional levels.
Protecting Farmers' Livelihoods Using Satellite Imagery
More than half of Kenya's nearly 50 million citizens work in the agricultural sector, underscoring the important role farming plays in Kenya's economy and individuals' livelihoods. Despite the importance of agriculture to the economy, until recently the Government of Kenya had been using outdated cropland maps (from 2000-2001) to conduct food security assessments.
To help address this problem, in 2017, SERVIR–Eastern and Southern Africa at the Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) worked with the Kenyan State Department of Agriculture to release updated cropland maps that were co-developed with USAID's Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) — a leading provider of early warning and analysis on food insecurity.
The completed cropland maps (or crop masks) provide information on the locations of the major and minor crops being grown, and if rain-fed or irrigation-systems are being used. This information allows for rapid identification of changes in crop development, helping the Government of Kenya better plan where to deliver village-level food assistance during droughts, flooding, and other food security crises.
To ensure the long-term availability of updated crop masks, several technical training sessions have been offered to equip key stakeholders in the agricultural sector with the necessary skills for developing updated maps and computing image changes from different periods. The Government of Kenya continues to view agriculture as a priority for national economic development. More accurate, timely, and cost-effective crop masks will help the government meet this objective by improving food security assessments to better protect vulnerable communities and to ensure a strong agricultural sector.
"Participants can now use the technical knowledge gained and apply it directly to their agricultural field work." Antony Ndubi, RCMRD's Remote Sensing Expert
Supporting Kenya's Crop Insurance with cost effective yield measurements
Kenya's State Department of Agriculture is using the co-developed crop masks in their recently established crop insurance programme that provides payouts to farmers during incidences of crop failure. To support this initiative, SERVIR–Eastern and Southern Africa and GEOGLAM researchers at the University of Maryland assisted the government in developing a methodology for determining harvest yield trends on a local level.
The project helped to guide the development of a stratified sampling frame (area frame) to determine where yield measurements would be done by Kenya's State Department of Agriculture. Applying a methodology that had been tested in Tanzania, the area frame made the crop insurance scheme more cost-effective than the very labor-intensive list frame that was used initially.
This approach was successfully applied in Nakuru County and provided a significant cost savings as the government can now make detailed assessments with updated satellite maps rather than counting individual farmers on the ground. The successful use of these crop masks has created a new demand to expand this methodology to 20 additional counties where the crop insurance programme operates.
It was reported that at least 12,000 farmers had received payouts for maize crop failure in an insurance project aimed to help achieve food security. The Head of Crop Insurance at the Agriculture Ministry Jacinta Ngwiri said the farmers are from 20 counties with Meru, Uasin Gishu, Bungoma, Kilifi, Nakuru and Narok registering the highest population of farmers. The project involves farmers insuring crops based on projected harvest with premiums calculated on production output in each region besides other risk factors.
Monitoring illegal mining & charcoal production in Ghana
As part of the SERVIR Programme in the sub-region the Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services (CERSGIS) located in the University of Ghana is developing satellite image based monitoring services to support sustainable environmental management at local levels.
Two services for monitoring illegal mining and charcoal production sites are currently under development. CERSGIS is using high resolution satellite imagery in Google Earth to map the distribution of charcoal kilns in two pilot areas in Ghana. The data was then pushed onto a geoportal developed by CERSGIS which has a backdrop of annual composites of tree cover index maps of 2013 to2018, derived from Landsat data. So far, a total of 1340 kilns have been identified in the pilot districts. Illegal mining endemic areas have also been identified and mapped with Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 image data.

Inside Out: Pete Docter reveals his 'most difficult' challenge

Show MoreAbout Inside Out
Judging by a slew of rave reviews from critics and an impressive opening weekend at the box office — it's now estimated to reach $92 million in ticket sales across nearly 4,000 theaters nationwide as of Saturday morning — Inside Out appears to be the epitome of a perfectly crafted Pixar film. The feel-good feature tracks the story five quirky emotions that live inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley: Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). Though one might rightly expect that a film about the inner workings of a pre-pubescent girl's brain would be somewhat complicated to make, designing the main character of Joy unexpectedly became the greatest challenge for director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters, Inc.).
"There are many, many flavors of Joy," Docter told EW earlier this year. "Without a doubt, she was the most difficult character to create."
It took nearly 18 months for Docter and his team of six designers to arrive at the final version of Joy, taking her from a giddy gamine sketched in black and white to a blue-haired sprite in a yellow smocked dress.
"Pete was always concerned with Joy not being annoying. There's a certain point where if someone is overly happy all the time, they become really annoying," character designer Albert Lonzano shared with EW in an interview this March. That being the case, the Inside Out design team decided to explore "a lot of different avenues" of Joy's personality, Lonzano explained. "A tomboy, being kind, mischievous, kind of a rascal-type …[and we wanted to] play around with Joy, like what does she look like when she's sad?"
Ultimately, Docter considers Joy successful, and not because her pixie cut captures her sweet sensibility just so. "This character drives our lives," remarked Docter.
"I think that's why I was super excited about the concept from the beginning, because with animation, you can express feelings stronger than with real people."

These beautifully simple designs are the work of a supremely talented artist.
When you go into a shop to get a tattoo, you don't always want a giant, gaudy, gauche design. Some people prefer the subtleties of tattooing, opting for a more minimalist approach to their body art. It offers a nice, clean break from the drab skin everyone is saddled with, but also enhancing its aesthetic.
Malvina Maria Wisniewska's blackwork tattoos are the perfect solution to those people looking for a simple, yet extraordinary design. Her designs aren't overly garish or ostentatious, but rather they add a bit of allure to the wearer's skin.
Here are some of her more recent tattoos that will surely bring a smile to the face of those who stand in opposition to the sometimes showy tattoo world.
These blackwork tattoos will certainly stand the test of time and add just a little bit of flare to anyone who is looking to stand out from the crowd. There is beauty in simplicity, and Wisniewska proves that.
Wisniewska works out of Sang Bleu London Tattoo, which houses several tattoo artists who are adept in a variety of different styles. They have artists doing ornamental work, and even traditional tattoos, but Wisniewska has been a stand-out performer for the shop, and it's one of the reasons she's the in-demand artist that she is right now.

Debbie Herman gives us the details of a successful "fear of entrapment" case.
Here's a case of a woman with severe claustrophobia or "fear of entrapment" who, to my absolute amazement, needed only one session to completely knock out all the aspects. Since I had never worked with a phobia of this nature, I wasn't sure what the results would be.
"Elaine" had suffered for many years from a fear of being trapped--whether in elevators, small enclosed rooms, or outdoors surrounded by crowds of people. This severely limited her life. Since the triggers seemed to be endless and varied, I decided on two approaches; first to address the core issue(s) and then to try her in an actual situation -- an elevator.
Being an art therapist, I asked her to make a drawing of the fear(s). This not only helps me to see the "whole picture", but gives the client and I a concrete focus in targeting the core issue(s). This also provides the client an outlet to express the fear while having some detachment.
GC COMMENT: An interesting and creative way to uncover core issues. In the P.S. below, Debbie expands on her use of this process.
"Even though I'm terrified of being trapped...."
"Even though I don't believe I'll ever get out...."
"Even though I don't believe I'll ever get over this problem..."
After I got her SUDs [0-10 intensity] down from 10 to 0 and the picture no longer elicited any anxiety or fear, we did EFT outside of the elevator bringing her SUDs down from 10 to 0 until she was able to stand in the elevator without any sign of anxiety and tension.
GC COMMENT: I call this process "sneaking up on the phobia." It involves tapping on all perceived aspects while just thinking about the problem and then gradually introducing the client to the phobic circumstance. It is much more gentle than vaulting the client into the phobic circumstance and is particularly useful when you suspect the phobia has many aspects to it.
DEBBIE CONTINUES: However, we never got to test out the fear of being trapped because we were holding up the elevator for everyone waiting to use it (a minor inconvenience). Thus I really wasn't sure how successful the treatment would be. To my utter delight, and the client's, she notified me 2 weeks later (now a month) that the fear had completely vanished after that one session and she was taking elevators and so on (her testimonial letter is appended as a P.S.) Apparently, clearing the core issues had done it's work in getting all of the aspects in spite of the elevator interruption. What I thought was a possible unsuccessful/incomplete treatment turned out to be one of those miracles.
GC COMMENT: This is not unusual. We can often eliminate a phobia while just thinking about the problem and EFT'ing it in the office. If the client gets intense when in the real situation, the likelihood is that new aspects have come up that weren't there in the original session. Typically, a few more rounds of EFT will take care of the rest of the problem.
P.S. Here is the client's testimonial letter as well as more on my use of art therapy.
"For years, I've suffered from anticipatory anxiety and tension [phobic responses] before going in elevators, into any small enclosed room or in crowded spaces. Extreme fear and paralyzing thoughts of being trapped eventually succeeded in making me avoid any area that evoked those fears. The anxiety was sometimes so intense I had to forego many events, such as visiting friends that lived on the 11th floor or attending crowded parties. This avoidance pattern has limited my life further when we traveled, as the idea of being trapped in unfamiliar surroundings terrified me. It's by chance that I came upon a method/technique called EFT taught by Deborah.
After a one hour session where I was asked to repeat certain phrases and tap on several specific points on my body, face and head, I did not know what to expect next! What happened right after the session and the following week, was that all anticipatory fear had simply vanished. Also, when I needed to take an elevator, the thought of being trapped never entered my mind. It's almost two weeks now that I have lived free from fear. I am astounded and very grateful."
For anyone interested in using art to help them reach core issues, either for themselves or with clients, I would suggest they pick up any book by Lucia Capaccihione. She's an art therapist who designed user friendly techniques to help lay persons tune into their problems and intuition through drawings and writing.
One easy method that I use with clients is to get them to use their non-dominant hand - if they're right handed use the left (direct link to the intuitive/wise/feeling part of our brain) when making a drawing. That way they don't get caught up in how the picture looks. Then I have them write down any words that come to mind, again using the non-dominant hand. This usually produces simple yet honest, accurate answers on what the core issues are. Then they can tap from there.

Fighting fraud is a never-ending battle, and the public needs to play a big role in helping combat it, says John Pecman, Canada's Commissioner of Competition.
Mr. Pecman says the Competition Bureau's annual Fraud Prevention Month helps improve awareness and understanding of the dangers of fraud.
Mr. Pecman says while fraud comes in many forms, the rise in popularity of online purchasing and social media use has resulted in a shift away from traditional mail and telemarketing scams.
But being scammed online is just one of the many potential fraud risks facing Canadians, and experts recommend that they become fraud aware.
For example, identity thieves can't steal what they can't read, so it's best to destroy personal information that's no longer needed, advises Jeanette Simoes, senior product marketing manager at Fellowes Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of Fellowes Inc., a global office and home equipment company.
It's also important for people to safeguard personal information in their homes, especially if they have roommates or employ outside help, adds Ms. Simoes.
There are many ways that identity thieves target Canadians, she says, including "dumpster diving," stealing wallets or mail, completing a change of address form to divert mail to another location, hacking unprotected computers and stealing credit and debit card numbers as a transaction is being processed.
She adds that the average victim spends more than 175 hours of their personal time to clear their name over several years. They also risk losing job opportunities, being refused loans, education, housing and cars, and have even been arrested for crimes they didn't commit.
In an office environment, personal information and data is at risk due to any shared areas that paper accumulates such as around copiers and printers, and some functional areas within an office, such as finance, legal and human resources, tend to be at even higher risk because of the sensitive information they deal with.
A good way to help protect again identity theft in an office environment is to develop guidelines for all employees outlining proper procedures for protecting information, says Ms. Simoes. This should include shredding all proprietary information that's no longer needed with a cross-cut or micro-cut shredder, logging off computers and locking workstations or office doors at the end of each workday and filing away confidential information rather than leaving it on a desk top.
March is Fraud Prevention Month in Canada. Now in its 11th year, the annual education and awareness campaign encourages Canadians to recognize, report and stop fraud. Spearheaded by the Competition Bureau, Fraud Prevention Month brings together 125 law enforcement agencies and public- and private-sector organizations to combat fraud.

When you first found out you were pregnant what was the first thing you thought about buying? With Vinny it was definitely travel systems, and with Renzo it was the same too. I'm a bit of a pushchair hoarder, I love them and have had quite a few in the past 3 years. The latest travel system added to our collection and the one we are using for Renzo is the Stoke Xplory. Stokke is a baby brand I adore, I have used their products for many years now and can't fault them so get ready for a raving review of the Xplory. I hope you enjoy!
As mentioned I love a pram or two… and from Stokke we've also had the Crusi and the Scoot. The Scoot being my favourite for quick trips out and about and perfect for those with not much boot space. The Crusi, ideal for those to love to shop because of the basket space and also for those with more than one child travelling. So why did I go for the Xplory this time you many wonder? We didnt actually need any extra space for Vinny as he walks now and would rather walk or hang around on Marks shoulders and well, isn't this the most beautiful travel system you ever did see?
We have the Xplory in the newest shade Grey Melange, such a stunning shade that really makes this pram look elegant and chic. This is the perfect neutral shade and in my opinion much nicer than your average neutrals such as beiges and yellows. The pram comes with a variety of matching accessories such as a parasol, changing bag, and foot muff. The changing bag is actually a newer design too I believe, it's amazing. I really love bags that are versatile and have lots of room and because you lack a basket with this travel system the extra space in the changing bag is ideal. The bag also clips onto the travel system so no need to hold, or if you wish you can pop it over your shoulder or turn it into a back pack! See I told you it had many qualities.
When Renzo was born we used the Carry Cot. It's so lovely and spacious. It has carry handles which is really handy especially if Renzo stayed asleep after a long walk, we'd just carry it indoors and he could continue his little siesta. We now use the seat unit and it's so lovely for Renzo to be able to sit up and see the world, the extra cushion included reduces the seat depth to fit the smallest babies which is perfect for his age. We also often use the car seat when we are just popping to the supermarket or nipping to the shops quickly, it's so convenient and the car seat we currently use is the Stokke iZi Go car seat. It comes in the Grey Melange so everything matches, we love it!
The Xplory is height adjustable, perfect for those that want baby to be closer. I get so many compliments on how high up Renzo is and how lovely it is to see us engage with each other. Renzo is at ease seeing his mummy at all times and I just love looking at his gorgeous chubby cheeks and cheeky smile. The seating positions are almost endless and you can literally use this anywhere, at a restaurant, in the park, long walks by the beach. We use the Xplory wherever we go and we love it.
I'd like to point out that this doesn't have a basket which may bother some people. Especially those that love to shop but you do get a rather large shopping bag that you can attach which is great for storing essentials and popping your bags into. We've had no problems in that aspect which is great, I do wish it had a shopping basket but apart from that we love the Xplory and will continue to use it.
Overall I'd highly recommend the Stokke Xplory. It is super easy to assemble, it's a dream to push around and I just adore the closeness it gives us. It is definitely a conversation starter, I've had so many compliments on it and I'm so proud to push it around with my gorgeous little Renzo.

Wichita, KS --- Here's some good news for Wichita's aviation industry. French based Figeac-Aero breaks ground to expand its Wichita operations.
Figeac-Aero supplies airplane parts for such companies as Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Spirit AeroSystems, Embraer and more.
The company is in the midst of a $20-million expansion which will include building its North American headquarters building on 39th Street North and Webb Road.
Figeac's Wichita Vice President and General Manager Hocine Benaoum says, "Figeac really wanted to be in the Air Capital of the World."
He says, "At this plant we plan to create 200 jobs." Currently the facility has 110 employees which is up from 46 six months ago. Benaoum says the company could hire as many as 400 new employees over the next few years. He says the company expects to double its revenue from $250-million to $500-million by 2018.
A host of city, county and state dignitaries participated in the groundbreaking Friday morning. Governor Sam Brownback says the state's been working on getting Figeac to make this expansion in Wichita for two years. Gov. Brownback says, "This is exactly what we need to improve our supply chain. We have a great supply chain in South Central Kansas and these guys are a great addition to it."
Benaoum says Figeac wanted to expand in the U.S. because it's still the largest aviation market. But he says the company wanted to expand in Wichita specifically because of the skilled aviation work force available here. "We need people available now. And due to the fact that these people are here, are trained with your schools and experience in different company it will definitely help us to grow fast."
Figeac got state and local incentives to expand including $250,000 forgivable loans from both Wichita and Sedgwick County and a five year property tax abatement.

Abortions started this month at Planned Parenthood in Lubbock
Posted: Apr 19, 2021 / 12:21 PM CDT / Updated: Apr 19, 2021 / 02:29 PM CDT
This Oct. 23, 2020, photo provided by Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas shows the new Planned Parenthood health center in Lubbock, Texas. (Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas via The AP)
LUBBOCK, Texas — Abortion services began this month in Lubbock in the Planned Parenthood location, 3716 22nd Place.
Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas said online "Now accepting appointments by phone for medication abortion services in Lubbock. Online booking coming soon."
PPGT also said online, "The Lubbock Surgical Health Center offers medication abortion services at this time."
When the clinic location was still in the planning stage in 2020, PPGT said abortions would not be offered at first but would come later. The estimated timeframe in 2020 was "the year ahead."
The clinic offers other services including STD testing, breast and cervical cancer screenings, annual wellness checks and other services.
In 2013, facing a loss of state funding, Planned Parenthood closed a previous clinic location in Lubbock. Abortion advocates said women had to travel all the way to Fort Worth to reach the nearest abortion clinic.
Monday, first day of early voting in sanctuary city for the unborn ordinance
Once news broke that PPGT would provide a new location in Lubbock, opponents began to mobilize. A petition drive forced the Lubbock City Council to consider an ordinance that would declare abortion illegal, and it would also declare Lubbock a sanctuary city for the unborn. Ultimately, the council decided to put it up for a public vote.
The election day for the proposed ordinance is May 1.
Planned Parenthood says Lubbock appointments available, abortions start in 2021
EverthingLubbock.com reached out to PPGT for comment, and they responded with this statement below:
When Planned Parenthood announced the opening of the Lubbock Health Center last fall, we also announced plans to expand services in 2021 to include abortion. As of April 15, patients seeking abortion can now access abortion services at the Planned Parenthood Health Center in Lubbock, in addition to preventive services including breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control (including IUDs and implants), testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and other essential healthcare. Prior to April 15, residents of Lubbock and surrounding areas had to travel out of state or at a minimum 600 mile round trip to the closest health center that provides abortions in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth or El Paso. That put abortion services out of reach for patients with challenges obtaining time off work, child care, access to transportation and other barriers.

Singapore Bans Brits over Yacht Party that Breached COVID Rules
May 20, 2021 | GOV, HEALTH, NEWS, Singapore
Singapore has had a relatively mild outbreak, reporting around 61,700 cases, has taken a tough stand against violations of virus restrictions
Nine Britons have been banned from working in Singapore after breaking coronavirus rules by partying on a yacht in swimwear and Santa hats, reports said Thursday.
Images of last year's Boxing Day festivities on the vessel went viral on social media, sparking fury from Singaporeans and prompting authorities to launch an investigation.
At that time, gatherings outside the home were limited to only five people under curbs to prevent the spread of the virus.
The labor ministry announced Thursday that eight Britons from the party — five men and three women — had been permanently banned from working in Singapore, broadcaster CNA and newspaper the Straits Times reported.
Another British woman who took part in the festivities had already been banned in March from working in the city-state, which has a large foreign population.
Eight of the Britons also pleaded guilty Thursday to exceeding the maximum limit on group sizes and were each fined Sg$3,000 ($2,250), reports said.
They could have been fined up to Sg$10,000 or jailed for up to six months, or both.
The ministry did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation.
The city-state — which has had a relatively mild outbreak, reporting around 61,700 cases and 31 deaths — has taken a tough stand against violations of virus restrictions.
In June last year, four British men were banned from working in Singapore after going on a pub crawl in a breach of curbs.

Stephen Crabb MP: The profound impact of vaccine investment on developing countries economic success
Rt Hon Stephen Crabb MP
Despite the growing evidence of the benefits of investing in vaccinations, over 1.5 million children under the age of five die from vaccine preventable diseases every year. This is a fight that is far from won, says Stephen Crabb MP.
PA Images
Far too often the debate about international aid seems stuck in a loop with questions about the headline expenditure of 0.7% GDP coming around again and again. The discussion in the popular press is overwhelmingly dominated by this controversy and the suggestion that aid money could be better spent on domestic priorities.
While those of us who support Britain's role as a leader in effective overseas development should never tire in re-stating the basic case for aid, we should focus also on specific examples where UK aid has helped achieve profound economic and social improvements in some of the poorest countries on earth. One area of British leadership and expertise that has received far too little attention is the funding, development and distribution of vaccines against killer diseases.
It was a British doctor, Edward Jenner, who pioneered the first vaccine at the end of the eighteenth century when he used pus drawn from a cowpox boil to inoculate a boy against the killer smallpox. More than two hundred years on, British science and medical research still lead the world when it comes to improving the health of people living in extreme poverty.
The eradication of smallpox was one of the great achievements of the twentieth century. More recently, we have seen polio reduced by 99% and full eradication is within reach. But the poorest countries today are still ravaged by diseases like TB, HIV/Aids, Malaria and Ebola. Killer diseases undermine economic growth, weaken the labour force and place enormous burdens on fragile health systems.
The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa saw at least $2.8 billion in lost growth and killed more than 11,000 people in the three countries worst affected by the outbreak. It had a severe developmental impact in these countries, placing already weak health systems under extreme pressure and affected employment and school attendance rates.
Fighting these diseases requires intervention and funding on a scale beyond that which any individual institution can provide. Successive UK governments have identified vaccines as a key priority for our overseas aid budget and, together with other governments and private donors, we have helped to transform the landscape of immunisation in the poorest countries.
Internationally, the UK was one of the original donors to Gavi - the Vaccine Alliance which aims to create equal access to vaccines for children living in the world's poorest countries, and today we provide 25% of its current funding. We are also a key donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria which is playing a key role in accelerating vaccination against tuberculosis.
During the period 2011-2016, the UK's funding for vaccination programmes helped to immunise 44 million children. For the current period until 2020 we are committed to immunising 76 million children against killer diseases.
In recent months Britain's support for vaccine programmes has helped tackle health emergencies like the diphtheria outbreak among 150,000 Rohingya children in camps in Bangladesh and the latest outbreak of the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Recent research by Harvard University and Gavi has demonstrated that, apart from improving health outcomes, vaccinations also have a positive economic effect. Investing in vaccinations helps build strong foundations for economic success in developing countries and reduces poverty, especially among the very poorest people. Research by John Hopkins School of Public Health suggests that for direct costs of illness, such as treatment and lost productivity, the return on every pound spent on vaccines was £16. When they expand this to look at the broader economic impact of illness, they found the return was £44 for every pound spent.
Despite the growing evidence of the benefits of investing in vaccinations and the remarkable progress that has been achieved in the last twenty years, nearly 1 in 10 infants (12.9 million) did not receive any vaccinations in 2016 and over 1.5 million children under the age of five die from vaccine preventable diseases every year. This is a fight that is far from won.
Looking ahead to the future of international programmes like the Global Fund and Gavi, Ministers will need to make key decisions about ongoing UK support. It is vital that Britain plays a key role in the future replenishment conferences and, in the meantime, that it encourages other nations to step up too.
Britain's leadership in this field flows directly from the political consensus a decade ago to expand our overseas aid budget and direct it towards some of the most difficult global challenges.
The remarkable international effort on vaccinations underlines the importance of re-forging that consensus and protecting UK aid.

WaterAid respond to Stephen Crabb MP
Save the Children have responded saying, ''UK aid saves lives every day; one of the areas this is most evident is DFID's funding of vaccines which is being discussed today. We strongly support Mr Crabb's assertion that the UK Government should continue to support Gavi so that lifesaving vaccines can be distributed to the world's poorest and most marginalised children.'
WaterAid have responded saying, 'WaterAid has found that vaccinations are increasingly successful when delivered in a community at the same time as hygiene education which helps provide the first line of defence against disease'. Read their full response here.

No baby boom after start of coronavirus lockdown, UK figures suggest
By Ian Jones, PA
The introduction of coronavirus lockdown restrictions in March 2020 did not lead to a baby boom, new figures suggest.
Fertility rates in England and Wales for December 2020 and January 2021 instead showed "relatively steep decreases" compared with the equivalent month one year earlier, down by 8.1% and 10.2% respectively, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Live births in these months would have mostly been conceived in the weeks following the start of the lockdown.
There was a year-on-year increase in the fertility rate for March 2021 of 1.7%, however, which "mostly translate to live births conceived when lockdown restrictions were beginning to be eased in summer 2020", the ONS said.
Fertility rates are the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44.
The rate for December 2020 was 50.1, down from 54.5 for December 2019, while the rate for January 2021 was 50.3, down from 56.0 in January 2020.
By contrast, the rate for March 2021 was 55.2: up from 54.3 in 2020.
The figures also show that the total number of live births in England and Wales in 2020 fell for the fifth successive year in a row.
Some 615,557 live births took place during the year, down 4% on 2019, and a drop of 16% from the recent peak of 730,883 births in 2012.
There were 2,429 stillbirths in England and Wales last year, the equivalent of 3.9 per 1,000 births, the ONS said.
This is down slightly from 2,596 stillbirths and a rate of 4.0 in 2019.
The stillbirth rate for January 2021 was 4.7 – the highest for any calendar month since March 2018.
January 2021 coincided with the height of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic but the ONS said the rate was "within the plausible range that we might expect to see from random variation", noting there are relatively low numbers of stillbirths each month, and there were 226 stillbirths in January 2021 compared with 207 in January 2020.
Meanwhile the total fertility rate in England and Wales for this year could end up being the lowest ever recorded, the ONS suggested.
Based on data for the first three months of the year, the rate for 2021 is estimated to be 1.53 children per woman.
This is down from 1.92 children per woman in 2011.
The total fertility rate is the average number of live children a group of women would bear if they experienced age-specific fertility rates throughout their childbearing life.

Want to know what trends to expect in hospital marketing in 2016? Here are three trends we've identified that every hospital will need to follow.
Content marketing continues to remain a big part of hospital marketing and will only increase in importance as we move through 2016. Last year saw an increase in the quantity of content. This year, we'll have to see a rise in the quality of the content we produce.
It's not enough to mass-produce content in order to fill a quota of pieces for a blog. We'll have to spend more time on each piece of content in order to make an impression. This is actually a positive, because it means we can be really creative and spend more time developing and polishing a few pieces of content – an article for a magazine, a white paper, a video – rather than just pumping out content that is merely okay.
People in 2016 will value convenience more than they did before. Amazon now has one-click buying that allows you to buy in a snap. Other platforms have rolled out one-click buttons to shop and buy. Hospitals can take advantage of this trend by having simple, convenient scheduling with just one click of a button.
This changes things. Formerly, a hospital's campaign would feature landing pages that ask the consumer to learn more. But they've probably already learned a lot by the time they get to the landing page. When they arrive there, the instinct for instant gratification kicks in, and they'll probably want to just go ahead and schedule an appointment.
So, we'll have to retool our landing pages to reflect that desire. Allow your patients to sign up for an appointment right then and there, and you'll have more success translating marketing into action.
Over the past few years, consumers online have started to experience more "moments". A moment is a short amount of time in which people turn to the Internet to find something that they need at that moment.
For example, they may want to know something about symptoms of a condition or illness. They may want to go somewhere near them, which means they're searching for a local provider. They may want to know how to do something, like create a healthy exercise plan or cook something tasty yet healthy.
A hospital can live in these moments by creating content that takes advantage of this inspired activity. If you want to get people who want to know things, produce content that shares information about symptoms and illnesses and other health items that may be in the news. You can market the hospital and your doctors with geo-targeted campaigns that zero in on zip codes. You can create how-to videos on healthy living.
Living in these moments with your potential patients will place you closer to them in the moments that they appear online.
Even though these are the trends, the challenge for many community hospitals is to have the resources to keep up with the trends. Limited personnel and limited resources for technology will continue to hinder some from taking full advantage of these emerging trends.

Should robots be electronic persons or slaves?
Public discussion about robotics lead very quickly to philosophical depths. Consider the nuanced parliamentary motion concerning Europe-wide legislative framework for robotics and AI. It made headlines for suggesting, for purposes of legislation on liability and responsibility, a new legal status of "electronic persons, with specific rights and obligations, including that of making good any damage they may cause".
The motion rightly notes that a new legal category might be needed, and that legislation in EU-countries needs to be updated concerning issues of liability. But is the category of electronic persons fitting or needed here? What would it mean to think that in addition to human manufacturers, programmers, trainers, owners or users and so on, the robot itself would have rights and obligations?
Robots, as we currently know them, are not moral persons. They do not meet all conditions of personhood. While they can master tasks that require intelligence, there is nothing that it feels like to be a robot. Robots cannot feel pain – or anything else for that matter – and they do not lead lives or have "stakes" in the world: they cannot literally care about anything, including their own survival, but only simulate.
Could things change in the future? What would it take to build a robot that would have sentience or consciousness, or that would have a stake in the world? Arguably, that would require certain type of hardware, and not just software.
Consciousness seems to be associated with certain physical systems and not others. The key is not whether it is carbon-based or silicon-based, but how it runs. Why is it that, say, the cerebral cortex produces consciousness but the cerebellum does not, or what is it that underlies the difference between wakefulness, sleep, coma, and anaesthesia? It is not fully known. The best attempts are very controversial and even speculative, such as the integrated information theory.
Further, robots do not lead lives, that is, engage in far-from equilibrium dynamic processes, whose end amounts to the thing ceasing to exist, dying. A candle flame is a self-organizing, self-maintaining process, and bacteria (and other living beings) are recursively self-maintaining processes. They have a normative stake in the world: they must maintain the process on pain of ceasing to exist. That is not so with robots.
Until there are robots, that are sentient and that engage in recursively self-maintaining far-from equilibrium processes (such as life), they merely simulate being concerned or behaving in a normatively guided way. It does not seem to make sense to think we owe them anything, such as making their lives go better rather than worse, as they do not even have lives that could go better or worse. In short, talk of rights and responsibilities is not fitting. But what robots can do is serve purposes that we make them serve. We owe it to each other to make AI systems serve better rather than worse purposes.
Supposing then that the category of electronic persons is misleading, how should we categorize them? One counter-proposal is that robots should be slaves, or less polemically, e-servants instead of e-persons. Indeed, all the points the EU-motion makes about legal responsibility and strict liability (including compulsory insurance schemes, compensation funds and public registration numbers, as with cars) can be made without the category of an electronic person.
What, then, are the purposes that we should design robots to serve, in transportation, service robotics, healthcare, education, low-resource communities, public safety and security, employment and workplace, and in entertainment (to mention the areas that the Stanford University AI100 report of 2016 focuses on)? The question is fundamentally the same as what goals should we design our institutions, such as schools and hospitals, to serve, or ultimately, how should we design human societies. To promote well-being, equality, autonomy, justice and so on – the very principles that political philosophy has always debated. And what valid ethical principles should robot-designing be allowed to break? None, of course. But we need to know is what ethical principles are valid (the motion mentions the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence and autonomy, as well as fundamental rights, such as human dignity and human rights, equality, justice and equity, non-discrimination and non-stigmatisation, autonomy and individual responsibility, informed consent, privacy and social responsibility). On these questions, philosophical reflections on the principles of ethics and political goals of society will complement practical knowledge in the field of robotics.
