Carsten Brinkschulte, who founded Dryad Networks, built an IoT network to detect wildfires. He's motivated by the impact of his work and urges founders and engineers to move to green tech. The first was how to detect fires. To solve for this, we developed our own solar-powered mesh gateway that could connect to sensors via an IoT network and relay information back to a cloud platform. The Silvanet mesh gateway connects sensors to an IoT network.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Houthi rebels fired a missile, striking a U.S.-owned ship Monday just off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, less than a day after they launched an anti-ship cruise missile toward an American destroyer in the Red Sea. The attack on the Gibraltar Eagle, later claimed by the Houthis, further escalates tensions gripping the Red Sea after American-led strikes on the rebels. Since November, the rebels have repeatedly targeted ships in the Red Sea, saying they were avenging Israel’s offensive in Gaza against Hamas. “The most dangerous thing is what the Americans did in the Red Sea, (it) will harm the security of all maritime navigation,” Nasrallah said. However, U.S. sailors have received combat ribbons for their actions in the Red Sea — something handed out only to those who face active hostilities with an enemy force.

Israel's southern coastal city of Ashkelon, which has a small port well in range of Hamas rockets, is not allowing ships to enter, shipping sources said. While the main Israeli ports of Ashdod further up the coast and Haifa in the north, remain open, shipping and maritime security companies are reviewing their operations for Israel, industry sources said. "Israeli ports are deemed to be at heightened risk," said Noah Trowbridge, with British maritime risk advisory and security company Dryad Global. "Since Gaza has a coastline, direct threats to shipping inside Israeli waters cannot be ruled out," BRS said. This compared with a premium of 0.0125% earlier this year, insurance sources said.

☆ Iran seizes oil tanker in Gulf, U.S. Navy says

[1/4] Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker Advantage Sweet, which, according to Refinitiv ship tracking data, is a Suezmax crude tanker which had been chartered by oil major Chevron and had last docked in Kuwait, sails at Marmara sea near Istanbul, Turkey January 10, 2023. Iran's army said it had seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman after it collided with an Iranian boat, injuring several crewmen, Iranian state media reported. The vessel's destination was listed as the U.S. Gulf of Mexico port of Houston, ship tracking data showed. Iran last November released two Greek-flagged tankers it seized in the Gulf in May in response to the confiscation of oil by the United States from an Iranian-flagged tanker off the Greek coast. The U.S. Navy, whose Fifth Fleet is based at the Gulf island state of Bahrain, called on Iran to immediately release the tanker.

☆ How an ‘electronic nose’ could help fight wildfires

Preventing even a fraction of wildfires from developing would have sweeping benefits. Climate change is making wildfires more intense, and the number of extreme wildfire events is projected to increase up to 14% by 2030. Existing early warning systems are based on visual detection of smoke, either through satellite imaging, cameras on the ground or human observers. Placed at the edge of the forest, these gateway sensors transmit the emergency signals to the internet over satellite and 4G. This detection time was phenomenal and showed how much potential the Dryad system has,” he adds.

☆ Iranul a confiscat o navă aflată în Golful Persic sub pavilion sud-coreean. Motivul inovcat de regimul de la Teheran

Nava a fost confiscată de marina iraniană din cauză că polua cu substanţe chimice apele Golfului Persic, potrivit mai multor publicaţii iraniene. Membrii echipajului - alcătuit sud-coreeni, idonezieni, vietnamezi şi birmani - au fost arestaţi, potrivit agenţiei care nu le precizează numărul, iar nava a fost imobilizată în portul Bandar Abbas. Flota a V-a americană, cu baza în Bahrain, este la curent şi monitorizează situaţia, a declarat pentru Reuters o purtătoare de cuvânt a flotei, Rebecca Rebarich. Autorităţile iraniene nu au făcut comentarii cu privire la acest incident, care are loc înaintea unei vizite a adjunctului ministrului sud-coreean la Teheran. Iranul a confiscat în 2019 nava Stena Impero, care naviga sub pavilion britanic, la două săptămâni după ce o navă de război britnică că a interceptat un petrolir iranian în largul coastelor Gibraltarului.
