“You Can’t Just Throw Technology At A Training Problem – You Have to Have Curriculum, You Have to Have Instructional Design”

November 10, 2017 by thebengali

31 October 2017, EATS2017, Estrel Convention Centre, Berlin: He is the ‘Editor in Chief’ of Halldale Media’s iconic aviation industry magazines – Civil Aviation Training (CAT Magazine) and Military & Simulation Training (MS&T). Unassuming and rather publicity shy for a famous industry trade journalist, Christopher Lehman is a whole lot more than an aviation journalist. Epitomising the competency and professional performance focus that CAT and MS&T espouse in all their editorial content and conference programs, Chris is a first among […]

myDartpfeil: A German Tech Take on A Popular British Pub Game

November 9, 2017 by thebengali

So Dutchman Michael van Gerwen has won the World Series of Darts for the third year in a row. On Sunday (November 5), he beat Gary Anderson of Scotland 11-6 in Glasgow, at the packed Braehead Arena. Rewind a little bit to Berlin last week, and that’s when I discovered that Darts has a World Series (should have occurred to me already). How did I catch on? Well, it was all thanks to a 23-year-old entrepreneur, Timm Bange. Timm is […]

Obituary Of An Age: Arun Sadhu Has Left The Building

September 26, 2017 by thebengali

What does it take to create great literary and journalistic works that impact a generation, a region, a society, a nation? And what does it take to keep creating such works? How does one stay relevant in changing times? It was 1996. I was 25, hauling my life out of a deep abyss, single-minded about making a living out of writing and I had no place for any advise from outside of myself. I was a student of the […]

We Either Stand for All, or We Pay the Price One by One.

September 9, 2017 by thebengali

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” A phrase written by the English writer, Evelyn Beatrice Hall, in her 1906 book, The Friends of Voltaire. A life is a life is a life. Today I write to mourn those who have passed. Loved ones, strangers. Those who passed naturally, those who died of un-natural causes, those who were killed, those who were assassinated, those who … all those who have […]

“Massive Potential for Online Training Technologies; The Critical Point is Going To Be The Measurement” – Andy Smith

August 31, 2017 by thebengali

Aviation Training is estimated to be a 6 Billion USD industry, which is growing very rapidly. While a healthy 12% of this market-size belongs to Training Hardware products (Simulator, Training Devices sub-segment), the industry portfolio includes a very diverse range of Services, Products and Emerging solutions. We had a chance to catch up at length with Andy Smith, Founder of Halldale Media at the Asia Pacific Aviation Training Symposium (APATS 2017) in Singapore (held on August 28-30, 2017). Halldale publishes […]

Knock, Knock, Who’s There? Nature.

August 29, 2017 by thebengali

Hurricane, heavy rains, floods in Texas; Typhoon, heavy rains in Hong Kong, Macau; Heavy rains, water-logging in Mumbai; heavy rains, cloud bursts, landslides in Himachal Pradesh and other Himalayan states in India; Floods in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bihar, Uttar Pradesh in India; floods in Beijing … all within a 2-3 month interval … isn’t it odd, that all these natural excesses are occurring simultanoeusly? What dots are we missing, dots that nature has connected, maybe other lines that have been […]
