Tag: eco-friendly pest control

Eco-friendly pest control is a good option for any business that needs to control small pest infestation in their business with caution for customer safety. Businesses like hotels, restaurants, and apartments are vulnerable to small pests like ants, cockroaches, or bedbugs – all of which are troublesome and can cause harm to your business and reputation. Treating these infestations with traditional, chemical-heavy methods could be detrimental to the health and safety of tenants, hotel guests, or restaurant patrons. That is why eco-friendly pest control is a great option. Safe chemicals and eco-friendly materials are used in place of harsh chemicals. Eco-friendly pest control options are best for hotels, where guests come in contact with the affected areas regularly. Using more eco-friendly options for pest control is not only safer for the environment, so your business is doing it’s part in going green, but it’s safer for your customers and guests, and more effective at keeping pests away. Eco-friendly methods also tend to cost less – so the green method of pest control is a win-win!

ICE Agent Pulls Weapon During Repossession

An ICE agent allegedly pulled a gun on a man whose car was being repossessed by the agent’s cousin in The Bronx, then had the victim arrested on bogus charges, a high-ranking police source said Sunday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Omar Castro was accompanying his repo-man cousin to collect a car late Saturday when the owner, Christopher Jackson, tried to stop them.

Castro, 41, blocked Jackson’s car in with his own vehicle in the Foxhurst section, and they began arguing heatedly at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said.

Castro, who was off duty, then allegedly pulled out his service weapon and trained it on Jackson, 23, the source told The Post.

Ascendas REIT - DBS Research 2019-01-30: Building Blocks For A Brighter Future

Ascendas REIT - Building Blocks For A Brighter Future

  • Another steady quarter with occupancy rates staying ahead of expectations.
  • Rental reversions picked up at 3.2%, pointing to a brighter outlook.
  • Proposed development of Grab’s new HQ in One North is a value accretive addition to Ascendas REIT.
  • BUY call and S$2.95 Target Price maintained.

What’s New

3Q19 results in line:

  • Ascendas REIT reported another stable set of operating results. 3Q19 gross revenues came in 4.2% higher y-o-y to S$226.4m. This was mainly from acquisitions in Australia (108 Wickham Street, Cargo Business Park and 169-177 Australis Drive), acquisition of logistics properties in the UK (completed in middle Aug-18 and Dec-18), and the completion of redevelopment works at 20 Tuas Avenue 1. This was offset by non-renewals at certain properties in Singapore.
  • Net property income grew by a faster 6.6% to S$168m on the back of lower property tax expenses. Total amount available for distribution grew by 7.0% y-o-y to S$124.3m.
  • Given the enlarged unit base post recent equity fund raisings, DPU rose marginally by 0.7% to 3.998 Scts.

9M19 results formed 75% of our full-year forecast.

  • Ascendas REIT's 9M19 operating results was in line with estimates. Gross revenues and net property income were 2.3% and 3.1% higher y-o-y to S$661.1m and S$486.1m respectively.
  • Total amount for distributable income increased by a lower 0.9% to S$356.7m on the back of higher interest expenses. 9M19 DPU of 11.887Scts formed 75% of our full year forecast.

Singapore operations resilient; occupancy rates staying sticky which is ahead of expectations.

  • While we expected occupancy to drop given the more cautious tone set by the Manager in the previous quarter, Ascendas REIT continued to be able to maintain occupancy rate at 87.5% (vs 87.3% a quarter ago) with the Singapore multi-tenanted properties seeing a marginal 0.2 bps increase in take-up rates to 83.5% (vs 83.1% a quarter ago). This highlights the strength of the REIT’s diversified portfolio which enables the Ascendas REIT to continue to deliver a resilient set of results.
  • Rental reversion for the quarter was up by 3.2% (vs 2.3% in 2Q19) and this was achieved across all property segments with notable increases in Business Parks (+5.4%), Hi-Specs & Data-centers (+1.7%), Light industrial and flatted factories (+1.7%), and integrated developments (+10.3%). Looking ahead, the Manager expects to see an improvement in reversions, a sign of increased stability.

Overseas properties stable.

  • Ascendas REIT’s properties in Australia and the UK continued to churn out stable cashflows. The weighted average lease expiry for Australia and UK are 4.5 years and 11.3 years respectively, offering strong income visibility, with minimal expiries in FY19.
  • The Manager has attempted to reduce income volatility by hedging cashflows; cashflows from Australia and UK are substantially hedged up to 1 year out while the REIT has taken a natural hedge position through taking local currency denominated loans (76% for AUD and 100% for GBP) to limit risk to NAV.

Gearing level has increased.

  • 3Q19 gearing inched higher to c.36% after the close of the recent UK acquisition and is expected to rise further to 37% on the back of the recent announcement of a built-to-suit development in Singapore (estimated construction value of c.S$188m). This is still within the Manager’s optimal level. Interest rates remained stable at 3.0%, and Ascendas REIT has a debt expiry tenure of 3.6 years.

Ascendas REIT to partner Grab in a “Built-to-suit” Business Park Development.

  • Ascendas REIT will build a 42,310 sqm (est 455k sqft) GFA “Built-to-suit” Business Park for Grab Taxi Holdings Pte Ltd (Grab) within One North, which is one of Singapore’s more vibrant master-planned business park hubs off the Central Business District.
  • The development will be spread over 2 tower blocks (9 storeys and 4 storeys) connected via a sky bridge and will be a Green Mark Goldplus Building.
  • The total development cost is estimated to be S$181.2m (land premium S$84m, stamp duty S$8.4m, S$88.8m construction cost) and will be borne by Ascendas REIT. The development will be completed by 4Q20.
  • Upon completion, the property will be 100% leased to Grab Taxi Holdings Pte Ltd (Grab) for a period of 11 years with a further extension option of 5 years.
  • We note that the land lease for this BTS is 30 years and is a direct allocation to the end-user.

Our thoughts

What a coup!

  • We see this as a quality addition and further enhances the Ascendas REIT’s portfolio in Singapore.
  • Post completion, with a new long term lease in place, Ascendas REIT’s weighted average lease expiry (WALE) in Singapore will lengthen slightly to 4.0 years vs 3.9 years previously.

A value accretive acquisition.

  • At an estimated initial yield of 6.4%, the accretion to DPU is projected to be 0.03 Scts (+0.1%). Funds will come from a combination of proceeds raised in the previous placement exercise, and debt.

Where will Grab potentially consolidate from?

  • Based on media articles, we note that the company currently has offices in Marina One (100k sqft), Guoco Tower (55k sqft), and Cecil Street (4.5k sqft) which are being used to house their data scientists while the office at Midview City houses the backroom and management team. While Grab will likely consolidate into the new HQ, it represents close to a doubling of their footprint in Singapore.

10 retail trends to watch in 2020

January 6, 2020

The on-again, off-again, maybe-on-again of tariffs that got on retailers’ last nerve in 2019 serve as a neat metaphor for the industry as a whole — in retail, things are complicated, swiftly changing and sometimes contradictory.

The U.S. consumer, for example, seems confident, yet remains picky. Stores need e-commerce, yet e-commerce needs stores. It’s complicating the business from merchandising to fulfillment, shaking up the c-suite, and landing ill-prepared or debt-heavy retailers in the financial dust.

MOOC Dys: a questionnaire to better understand parents and teachers with “dys” children

The “MOOC Dys” project is on its way.  Today, we propose a questionnaire to better understand your needs and expectations as parents or teachers of children with specific learning disorders.

The “MOOC Dys” : a collaborative and participative open online course

Previously, I have written an article about this project of MOOC on specific learning disorders.

A little girl who holds balloons strings in her hand, but books with flying letters are attached to those strings
An artist view of the specific learning disabilities

This MOOC aims to be a participative and collaborative open course.  And, above all, we aim to meet your training needs and expectations.  Therefore, we want your opinion and participation on each step of this course design.

Two questionnaires to understand you better

We have created two questionnaires in order to understand you and the children you are taking care of :

  • a questionnaire for the parents
  • a questionnaire for the teachers

The results derived from the questionnaires will help us design an online training course that will match your needs and expectations.  We are going to draw a profile of the parents and teachers. Using that profile, we will then design the structure of an open online course.

Of course, we will also consult you on the course structure : which will then be our next step.

A 100 % participative online course

The MOOC will officially be released in mid-October 2018.  We have chosen the Course Networking platform to place that course on line.  The Course Networking is a global learning solution, comprising a learning social network, a LMS (Learning Management System), a lifelong learning ePortfolio and is entirely gamified : you receive badges, points and certification that you can exhibit as evidences of your academic achievement.

Nonetheless, we have chosen that solution specifically for its collaborative functionalities: each participant is able to write his/her own blog posts, able to like and comment other participants’ blog posts, can create his/her polls events either online or offline.  A solution that matches all our expectations for a really open and collaborative online course.

How to access the questionnaires?

For the Parents

Are you the parent of one or several children with specific learning disabilities like:

  • dyslexia
  • dyspraxia
  • dyscalculia
  • dysphasia
  • etc.

Then click here to access the parents’ questionnaire.

MOOC Dys: questionnaire for the parents of children with specific learning disabilities

For the Teachers

If you are a teacher and have children with specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, etc.

Then you can access the Teachers’ questionnaire.

Mooc dys : questionnaire for the teachers who are dealing with children with specific learning disorders

And what if you are both parent AND teacher of children with specific learning disabilities?  Feel free to fill in both questionnaires !

What are we going to do with your answers?

As soon as we gather all your answers, we’ll then apply them to elaborate the free and open online course Mooc Dys.

I’ll inform you what those results be in my next article.  Thenceforth, we’ll propose a course structure that takes all your expectations into account.

You can register on our Facebook Page for all current updates regarding our activities.

And if you haven’t done it yet, you can also register at our newsletter which constitutes a pre-subscription to our free and open online course.

Thank you all for your support and endless collaboration 😉

Dys MOOC: our project selected by Erasmus +

We submitted a project of MOOC about learning disabilities to the Erasmus+ agency in Brussels.  And our project has been selected.  So we are going to create a “Dys MOOC” about dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc.  An international and multilingual MOOC with 5 partners from all Europe.  And beyond 😉

We have introduced a project to the Erasmus + Agency Brussels alongside 5 partners from different countries of the European Union. The Dys MOOC  is co-funded by the Erasmus Plus European Program, and today, I am officially announcing the big news: our project has been selected by the Belgian National Agency!

Therefore, this project will be partly financed by the European funds. Nonetheless, this funding will not cover for all the costs incurred, but will provide a sufficient basis to kick start the project.

Hence, we have launched our first project activity: a meeting with our international partners.

First kick off meeting of the Dys Mooc project in Chalkis - gathering international partners around learning disabilities
The European Team in chalkis, Greece

One project, 6 partners for an international and multilingual MOOC

As soon as Brussels confirmed and signed the contracts, we immediately organised our first meeting with all project partners involved. Our representatives were warmly welcomed in Chalkis, Greece.

These participating partners are:

  • Logopsycom: Mons, Belgium. Logopsycom is a company that unites speech therapists, doctors and psychologists. Logopsycom is responsible for the overall management of the European project. Moreover, it was Bérenger Dupont who suggested that we should present our MOOC to the European authorities and benefited from his years of experiences in handling Erasmus projects.
  • KEDDY: Chalkis, Greece. KEDDY is a departmental service from the Ministry of National Education that supports students with learning disabilities. KEDDY hosted the first meeting with the international partners. KEDDY is also in charge of the project’s quality plan.
  • CIVIFORM: Cividale del Friuli, Italy. Civiform is a regional training centre that offers training for both adults and teenagers. Civiform is fully in charge of the syllabus for the MOOC Dys project, which pertains the content and its structuring.
  • REDE DLBC: Lisbon, Portugal. A dome association that brings together 153 public, associative and private institutions. The REDE DLBC is responsible for the operation of the project. In the European jargon, this means that it will ensure the results derived from MOOC are transferrable to both the European institutions and those who would like to utilize the information for their optimization.
  • University of Pitesti, Romania. The university’s faculty of psychology will ensure the educational quality of the resources, in which will be created in the framework of this MOOC. The faculty will also work on the possibilities of getting certification for the MOOC.
  • Formation 3.0: Paris, France. Our training organization will administer both the communication and online MOOC. A new website and resource sharing platform are also on the agenda 😉 Formation 3.0 will also create a Facebook page and a Twitter account to feed conversations with parents and teachers.

Cover of our new Faceebook page

The MOOC will be designed  and animated, simultaneously, in 6 languages, in mid-October 2018:

• French

• English

• Italian

• Portuguese

• Greek

• Romanian

A free MOOC and free resources under Creative Commons licenses

Unlike some rumors that are already circulating on the Web, access to the MOOC will obviously be 100% free.

All educational resources designed by the partners of this MOOC will be available and reusable under the Creative Commons License.

This means that parents, teachers, professionals or young people with « dys » disorders will be able to reuse all the materials for their own projects, lectures, classroom activities, blog posts, etc.

A 100% participative and collaborative MOOC

This MOOC will be participative and collaborative.

At the beginning of 2018, we will ask for your collaboration to form user committees. These committees will help us create a relevant program. To evaluate the quality of the resources. To feed the contents of this MOOC using their testimonies, which is simultaneously useful and needed to give a true reflection of everyday reality.

This MOOC will also be collaborative because we will use a platform that will allow you to participate actively in the creation of the content either by your written testimonials, filmed (using your smartphones!) or recordings. Or any other mode of expression that you deem useful.

I will talk to you soon about this platform and the open educational possibilities it offers to a team as diverse and international as ours.

A three-part MOOC befitting the users’ needs

Here, I can already provide you with an overview of the structure for this MOOC. We propose to create a MOOC in three big sections:

• a common body, intended for all: what is dys disorder? What are their differences with other associated disorders? Etc.

a specific module for parents: how to help my child succeed in school? How to facilitate his daily life? Where to find helpers and resources? Etc.

• a specific module for teachers and professionals: how to integrate children with learning disabilities into my classroom? Which resources to use? What are the reasonable accommodations I can gather? Etc.

As I write this blog post, more than 1,000 people have already subscribed to our newsletter. You too can register now to be informed, or better, to participate 😉

I subscribe to the Dys MOOC, an open course about learning disabilities

Wrath of the Titans

I had never seen the first of what may be a trilogy. I had no expectations for the second one. My friend asked me to go see it and so I did. And I have mixed feelings about Wrath of the Titans. A movie series sparked from the 1981 version, this is just one of those typical action movies. It may have some flair and epic qualities to it with its mythology come to life for Perseus, but I’m not really sure where this series is headed. I’ll just let time and some 3-D/CG effects ride the tide until the next Kraken-like creature bubbles up from the Netherworld.

What guy doesn’t like a bit of mythology with his films? I enjoyed it somewhat, but I wasn’t sure how accurate the film was to the myths. You got your Zeus (Liam Neeson), your Poseidon (Danny Huston), and you got your Hades (Ralph Fiennes). Throw in some Sam Worthington for good measure and you got yourself a film about defeating a Titan. Although it is strange this series is following the titling of Star Wars, I won’t complain too much. What I don’t get is where people get off considering Sam Worthington a quality actor. He’s good in what he does in action films, but I dunno if Avatar gave him a big head or not. Same goes for you too Thor…

Metaphor for acting career? (Hint, it’s a struggle.)

So this movie takes place a decade after Perseus killed the Kraken (thanks Wikipedia). He’s got a son now and that damn kid can’t stop crying and making all these weird faces and noises throughout the film. Even when he’s supposed to be brave at the end, he ends up yelping like a beaten dog. Where did they find this kid? So he is almost killed by the initial attack on Perseus’ shanty town by a pair of Chimeras. This scene was rather basic and didn’t really get me too hyped up yet. It doesn’t really look like Perseus/Worthington is in rare form yet and hell, it doesn’t look like he’s interacting with the beasts at all. Heads up there Warner Bros., you’re behind the ball on that new wave tech shit.

A couple of old bro’s slanging some magical spells.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, Kronos, king of the Gods is all tied up by his snotty young hoodlum children. But there’s a twist! Hades and Zeus’s son Ares (Edgar Ramirez) are planning on draining Zeus in order to unleash Kronos and reattain immortality. They’ve become weak because of some comment on religion and how paganism isn’t popular anymore. Things get heated and its up to Perseus, a scraggly, yet funny Agenor the Navigator (Toby Kebbell), and Andromeda (Rosamund Pike). Of the three, I’d place my best bet on Agenor. That Toby Kebbell is a relaxed, naturalistic actor who I now appreciate because of this movie. He definitely deserved his father’s trident for that one.

So there are some cyclops, some lava slanging behemoths, and some molten crusted, two-headed beasts. I would almost say that the trailer built up the movie a bit too much for how much they suggested was action in this film. There’s even a disappointing fight between Perseus and the Minotaur in this film! That beast is just as big as Perseus is, how is that possible? But there’s a lot of old man Zeus grunting and some anticlimactic fighting in what is a strange ending with Perseus and Pegasus. Worthington passes on the torch to his son and one of the only things I can say about this movie is that Gods died in this movie. Who is gonna be left to make this a trilogy with so many mythical beings gone? We’ll see if Titans makes a strategic move and decides to pit Christianity against Paganism. I’d watch that. For this, I’ll give it an entertaining watch with a 4.6 out of 10.

Set him free Sam, set him free…

The Roommate: Crap or Subtle Genius?

No, I’m just kidding. There was no genius to this movie. It was crap. If there was anything good about this, it was that it was so absurd it was funny. But what’s awesome is that it beat James Cameron’s piece of crap Sanctum (3-D, already indication of crap). I strongly dislike James Cameron and I feel the defeat of his work is a step in the right direction for humanity. (Avatar= Pocahontas= Took title from The Last Airbender, completely equaling a cinematic failure.) Anyways, time for the plot summary. And don’t tell me, “NO, NO NO, I DON’T WANT A PLOT SUMMARY, I WANT TO BE SURPRISED.” There’s nothing to ruin here, except your evening if you waste your time seeing this in theaters.

Okay, so obviously, Sara Matthews’ (Minka Kelly) roommate, Rebecca (Leighton Meester) is a psycho. This girl, (big twist) simply doesn’t take her pills. Quite a hilarious part, might I add, filled fantastically by Frances Fisher, one of two Titantic (Damn it, Cameron) actors. The other one, of course, being the homosexually (?) married (?) art design (?) teacher, Billy Zane. I know, no need for the question marks, but just based on his title, his sexual orientation comes into question. True, I love Billy Zane. Come on, he was The Phantom. (Anybody feel me on that?) But more on the minors… never.

This girl Rebecca, Sara’s insane roommate, who, by the way, they never clarify how old they are or which year they are in college. They don’t even hint at it. Come on. Yes, they may go out to a frat house, but who wouldn’t drink while making this movie? I’m sorry, tangents. But yes, this girl does some insane stuff. She draws pictures. She fries kitty cats. She pierces her own ears on the fly. She wears designer clothing. But most importantly, and most endearingly, she cares about when her roommate comes home. Yes, she cares. Maybe too much? You decide. (But DVD time, not theater time.)

Some other notable appearances in this movie come from Cam Gigandet, Twilight movie heartthrob (James) and apparent comedian. As Sara’s boyfriend Stephen, he delivers line after line of comedic genius, as he sits in as the frat band’s “drummer” (very weak). I find that ever since Twilight and his subsequent work, The Unborn, Cam’s gonna be stuck as the horror movie bf for a while. Another newcomer to horror movies is Disney Channel star, Alyson Michalka. Used to her days on Disney as a duo pop sensation with her sis A.J., this horror movie was a real breakout and quite ironic that the tweens that watched her on Disney are now old enough to see her become a slut who takes her top off quite a few times.

So yes, this movie, oddly structured around fashion and trying to psychotically become your roommate’s best friend falls short of expectations. I felt hey, this’ll be another Orphan. Orphan is a great horror movie. This on the other hand, is crap. Complete and utter comedic horror. The whole theater laughed. Besides this angst ridden teen who felt this movies poetic drama would better prepare her for her college years. But yes, I was a bit worried I’d be scared, and when I left, I felt lighthearted and happy. So thank you, Christian E. Christiansen, Denmark movie extraordinaire, you made my weekend. I feel sorry to inform you that your debut in American horror cinema will be received as a joke. I know, you were trying for something new, but I don’t feel that a psychotic phone sex killer who loves her girlies is really gonna do it. I give it 2.2 out of 10. But by all means, if you want to see this for yourself, don’t wait, see this in theaters. Bring the whole family, it’ll be a blast.

Hoffman interviewed about “Denial" movie: Irving vs. Lipstadt

On Swedish TV in English

Michael Hoffman is interviewed about the new movie “Denial,” a fictionalized account of  historian David Irving's 2000 libel trial against "Holocaust denial" inquisitor Deborah Lipstadt

For Further Research:

Unknown said...

Michael, I saw the television interview! BRAVO!

JMoore said...

Great interview, hopefully the neo-pagans of the redicesphere will get a glimpse of Christian truth through this.

Unknown said...

Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt!? Oh no... Deb-O-Ruh is much much prettier than that! Hahahahahaha! The nerve of some people... Now that is libelous, I tell ya!
For Rachel, despite her careless use of trashy terms like 'shiksa' is not in the same universe as far as physical appearance goes.

And to put this casting mishap in perspective: the woman who starred as Betty Paige also does the role of Prof. Lipstadt.... Crikey, that's out there...

The Burning of Norfolk

January 1, 1776 at Norfolk, Virginia

Burning Summary

British Royal Navy ships in the harbor of Norfolk, Virginia began shelling the town, and landing parties came ashore to burn specific properties. The town, whose significantly Tory (Loyalist) population had fled, was occupied by Whig (Revolutionary) forces from Virginia and North Carolina. Although these forces worked to drive off the landing parties, they did nothing to impede the progress of the flames, and began burning and looting Tory properties.

After three days, most of the town had been destroyed, principally by the action of the Whig forces. The destruction was completed by Whig forces in early February to deny use of even the remnants to the British. Norfolk was the last significant foothold of British authority in Virginia; after raiding Virginia's coastal areas for a time, its last Royal Governor, Lord Dunmore, left for good in August 1776.

Tensions in the British Colony of Virginia were raised in April 1775 at roughly the same time that the hostilities of the American Revolutionary War broke out in the Province of Massachusetts Bay with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Rebellious Whigs (also known as Patriots) in control of the provincial assembly had begun recruiting troops in March 1775, leading to a struggle for control of the colony's military supplies.

Under orders from John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, the royal Governor of Virginia, British marines removed gunpowder from the colonial storehouse in Williamsburg to a Royal Navy ship, alarming members of the colonial legislature and prompting a militia uprising.

Although the incident was resolved without violence, Dunmore, fearing for his personal safety, left Williamsburg in June 1775 and placed his family on board a Royal Navy ship. A small British fleet then took shape at Norfolk, a port town whose merchants had significant Loyalist (Tory) tendencies. Although the town did have some Whig support, the threat posed by the British fleet may have played a role in minimizing their activity in the town.

Confrontations and minor skirmishes continued in Virginia between Whigs on one side and Tories on the other until October, when Dunmore had acquired enough military support to begin organized operations against the rebellious Whigs. General Thomas Gage, the British commander-in-chief for North America, had ordered a small detachment of the 14th Regiment of Foot to Virginia in response to pleas by Dunmore for military help.

On October 12, these troops began raiding surrounding counties for rebel military supplies. This activity continued through the end of October, when a small British ship ran aground and was captured by Whigs during a skirmish near Hampton. Navy boats sent to punish the townspeople were repulsed by Continental Army troops and militia in a brief gunfight that resulted in the killing and capture of several sailors.

On November 7, Dunmore reacted to this event by issuing a proclamation in which he declared martial law, and offered to emancipate Whig-held slaves in Virginia willing to serve in the British Army. The proclamation alarmed Tory and Whig slaveholders alike, concerned by the idea of armed former slaves and the potential loss of their property. Nevertheless, Dunmore was able to recruit enough slaves to form the Ethiopian Regiment, as well as raising a company of Tories he called the Queen's Own Loyal Virginia Regiment.

These local forces supplemented the two companies of the 14th Foot that were the sole British military presence in the colony. This successful recruiting drive prompted Dunmore to write on November 30, 1775 that he would soon be able to "reduce this colony to a proper sense of their duty."

Virginia's assembly had sent companies of militia to Hampton under the command of William Woodford, the colonel of the 2nd Virginia Regiment in October, and further militia continued to arrive at Williamsburg. Woodford, his force swollen to 700 men, advanced toward Great Bridge in early December. Some of Dunmore's troops had fortified the north side of the bridge, so Woodford began entrenching the position on his side of the bridge, while more and more militia companies arrived from the surrounding counties and North Carolina.

On December 9, British troops attempted to disperse Woodford's force, and were decisively repulsed. Following the battle, the British retreated back into Norfolk, and shortly after, Dunmore and his entire force withdrew to Royal Navy ships anchored in Norfolk's harbor, along with most of the remaining Tory population of the town. Woodford's force continued to grow with the arrival of Colonel Robert Howe and North Carolina regulars the day after the battle.

On December 14, with the Whig forces having grown by further militia arrivals to about 1,200, Howe and Woodford moved into Norfolk. Since Colonel Howe held a senior Continental Army commission, he outranked Woodford, and assumed command of the occupying forces. He adopted a hard line in dealings with Dunmore and the Royal Navy captains, denying the delivery of supplies to the overcrowded ships, and insisting on parity in the exchange of prisoners.

Howe and Woodford were also concerned about the possibility of a British attack, and at first appealed for additional troops. However, on further consideration they realized that the British fleet could easily maneuver around the town and isolate the garrison. They consequently recommended to the Virginia assembly that the town be abandoned and rendered useless to their enemy.

On December 21, the Liverpool arrived, accompanied by a store ship loaded with supplies and munitions. Dunmore positioned four ships, the Dunmore, the Liverpool, the Otter, and the Kingfisher in a threatening line along the town's waterfront, setting off an exodus of people and possessions from the town. On Christmas Eve, Liverpool's captain, Henry Bellew, sent what amounted to an ultimatum into the town, stating that he preferred to purchase provisions instead of taking them by force. Howe rejected the ultimatum, and prepared for a bombardment.

On December 30, Bellew demanded that the Whig forces cease parading and changing the guard on the waterfront because he found it offensive, and suggested that it would "not be imprudent" for women and children to leave the town. Howe refused to withdraw his men, telling Bellew "I am too much an Officer [...] to recede from any point which I conceive to be my duty."

Burning Begins

On January 1, Howe's guards paraded as they had before. Between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, the four ships of the British fleet opened fire on the town. Mounting more than 100 guns, they cannonaded the town well into the evening hours. Landing parties were sent ashore, some to retrieve provisions, others to set fire to buildings that Whig snipers had been using as posts from which to fire on the fleet. Although the British movements were not particularly well coordinated, they succeeded in setting most of the waterfront ablaze.

The Whig militia resisted the landing parties, but did little to stop the flames, which were spread by advantageous winds. Some Loyalist properties were targeted for burning and looting by the Whigs shortly after the bombardment began, including a local distillery. Although the British ended their operations that day, the fires continued to rage; the next morning Col. Howe reported that "the whole town will I doubt not be consum'd in a day or two."

The burning and looting by the occupying Whigs continued for three days. By the time order was restored, much of the town had been destroyed.

Damage to the town by the Whig forces significantly exceeded that done by the British, destroying 863 buildings valued at £120,000 (an estimated £14.8 million in modern pound sterling). In comparison, the British bombardment destroyed only 19 properties worth £3,000 (£370,000); this was in addition to £2,000 (£250,000) in damages done by Lord Dunmore during the British occupation of Norfolk.[16]

Howe's report to the Virginia Convention omitted the role of the Whig forces in the burning, and repeated the recommendation that the town be destroyed. A newspaper account published by Lord Rawdon prompted some questions in Whig circles about the event, but many assumed that British forces were responsible for most of the damage, and no inquiries were made in the immediate aftermath.

The convention approved Howe's plan, and by February 6, the remaining 416 structures had been destroyed. It was not until 1777 that the full extent of Whig participation in the burning was acknowledged.

Whig forces withdrew from the ruins of the town after completing its destruction, and took up posts in other nearby towns. They were further organized in March, when Major General Charles Lee arrived to take command of the Continental Army's Southern Department. He mobilized the militia to evict Dunmore from a camp he had established near Portsmouth; Dunmore finally abandoned Virginia for good in August 1776.

    David G. Kirchhoffer is the Director of the Queensland Bioethics Centre, a collaboration between the Archdiocese of Brisbane and the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy at ACU. He is also a member of ACU's Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry.

    Dr Kirchhoffer grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa,where he studied biology and psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand, and theology at St Augustine College of South Africa. He did his doctoral studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. After working as a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law at the KU Leuven, he took up a permanent post at the Banyo campus of the Australian Catholic University(Brisbane).

    He is Senior Research Associate of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Johannesburg, and in 2015 was a Senior Visiting Fellow at the National University of Singapore's Centre for Biomedical Ethics.

    David Kirchhoffer's primary research focus is on the meaning and relevance of the concept of human dignity, and contemporary understandings of the human person in contemporary ethics, in the fields of biomedical ethics, business ethics, social ethics, and personal ethics.

    His most recent book, "Human Dignity in Contemporary Ethics," develops a holistic and relevant understanding of human dignity for ethics today. Whilst critics of the concept of human dignity call for its dismissal, and many of its defenders rehearse the same old arguments, this book offers an alternative set of methodological assumptions on which to base a revitalized and practical understanding of human dignity, which at the same time overcomes the challenges that the concept currently faces. The Component Dimensions of Human Dignity model enables human dignity to serve both as a descriptive category that explains moral choices, and as a normative criterion that helps to evaluate moral behaviour. A consideration of two cases--violent crime and physician-assisted suicide--demonstrates how the model offers a way to avoid the pitfalls of both moralism and moral relativism, while still leaving space for relativity in ethics. By using an approach that should be acceptable to both religious and secular perspectives alike, this book offers a unique way out of the 'dignity talk' that currently plagues ethics.

Prior to relocating back to Australia in 2012 I worked for the New Zealand Defence Force at the Defence Technology Agency as an Environmental Research Scientist.

    My research is currently focused on the relationships between climatic variability, human response and landscapes over a variety of timescales worldwide. This work falls broadly into two main categories:

    1. Recent and projected human-climate interactions: Historical climatic variability and environmental extremes in West Asia; Investigating the climatic background to recent piracy in the Horn of Africa region; projected climate change impacts in the Horn of Africa region; remote sensing of coastal environments via satellite and UAVs

    2. Human response to environmental change in the past: High-resolution records of environmental change (Asia, Central America, Australasia), ancient agriculture and climate adaptation (Central America, UK), palaeoclimates and archaeological change (SE Asia, Mesoamerica)

    The common theoretical thread linking these research interests is the question of how best to quantify and understand the complex interaction between human activity, climatic fluctuations and environmental change across the Earth's surface.

Industry spotlight

Although we still advertise many managerial and executive roles, we see this as a declining market in comparison to previous years. This is invariably because fewer and fewer large companies still have corporate hierarchies. Instead, we’re seeing more entrepreneurs stepping into management roles naturally as their businesses mature.

Things are changing throughout this sector. Employers are now more attracted to globally minded candidates as the nature of work changes, and from an education viewpoint prefer a shorter more cost-effective Master in management to an MBA.

And because there may be few candidates on the market, employers may need to supplement advertising for roles with search and selection as well.

An Eclair To Remember

An Eclair To Remember ebookSydney St. James has decided to settle. She says yes to Mr. Not Quite Right and sets sail on a cruise to Alaska for her bachelorette party. But when Sydney meets Silicon Valley’s most eligible bachelor aboard the ship, her world turns upside down. Oscar Martin is handsome, charming, and to make matters worse…he gets her completely.

Oscar has his own problems—and his own fiancee. He’d planned the cruise as a last ditch attempt to save their relationship, but she decided to skip it. The tide turns when he meets Sydney as they both reach for the last eclair at the dessert station. Now he can’t get the beautiful, feisty woman off his mind.

Oscar is certain serendipity brought them together. Sydney is not so sure. But the cruise will be a trip of self-discovery for both of them, and fate will have the final word.

Mayor Stoney To Co-Chair Capital Region Collaborative

The Organizing Council of the Capital Region Collaborative (CRC) today appointed Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney and Dr. Gary L. Rhodes, president of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, to chair the regional partnership for 2017.

The CRC’s Organizing Council also named Mark L. Mullinix, the first vice president and chief operating officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, and Angela Y. Cabell, a member of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, as co-vice chairs for 2017.

“Our success as individual jurisdictions is tied to our success as a region,” said Mayor Stoney. “None of us can do it alone, but working together on the issues that unite us all, we can meet the real challenges we face and take advantage of the opportunities we have to propel our region forward.

Gerrit Rietveld Academie

During 23 September - 29 September Public Rietveld edited the front page.

The Gerrit Rietveld Academie presents SELECTED: a special exhibition and Afternoon Sessions in collaboration with Rietveld graduates of 2019 and Looiersgracht 60.

During the Graduation Show 2019, an independent jury nominated 9 individual artists from various departments for the annual GRA Awards. Following up on their nominations, SELECTED offers a continuation of their recently developed graduation projects beyond the context of the academy.

SELECTED offers the artists an opportunity to present and share their graduation works with a wider audience. Additionally, by inviting members of the jury, various artists, lecturers, teachers and audiences to join them in the exhibition space, the artists will develop a range of open Afternoon Sessions to share and expand their individual, and sometimes collaborative artistic practices and research interests. This programme will be communicated and documented throughout the exhibition and participation will be open for everyone.

Works activated at:

DJ Fitgirl

20:00 – 00:00

Location: Stichting Mediamatic, Dijksgracht, Amsterdam

What is a body? How do humans move and use their body? Is it possible to sense our bodies and their relation to the world anew? How do I know that I am human? How can feelings be materialized outside of the body? How might we heal the societal body? Whom do we praise and whom do we denigrate? How do we sustain ourselves?

As part of the HABIT(ATS) project, the Jewellery – Linking Bodies department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie explores such questions over the course of five hours, where a choreography of bodies, objects, gestures and enunciations will transpire within specific habitats. Students and alumni will present currently ongoing research as well as projects from the previous year. It might be that choreographing such an encounter will offer an invitation to open up the opportunities for us and our bodies to move and relate in unexpected ways.

[Case Study – Supported By] The New Movement and River Beats Partner In Support of NOLA Comedy

In 2018 River Beats and The New Movement Theater New Orleans entered into a monthly content funding campaign. Over the course of two months, River Beats provided a handful of “Supported By” editorials. Our campaign mostly centered around the content itself, and no advertising budget was spent on targeted social ads.

This deal represents the many ways we can work with advertisers. While The New Movement’s advertising budget was on the smaller end, we tailored a campaign centered around engaging content.  Impressions for this campaign normally average 1-2 thousand, with both brands sharing content across multiple social channels. You can see our “Supported By” editorials below!

Sponsored Content Funding – “Supported By”

Meet Unhinged: NOLA’s Newest Comedy Club

Since 2015, New Movement Theatre has been consistently voted the best place in Nola to watch comedy. However, what you may not know about the theatre is its status as a greenhouse for those interested in starting a hobby, collaboration, or career in the comedy world.

Kirkistown Race Meeting at Kirkistown Race Circuit

0 Replies

The HRCA Historic Sports Cars were a welcome and colourful addition
to the July Championship Car Races at Kirkistown with Jackie Cochrane
taking the top honour in both races with his mighty 650bhp Sunbeam
Tiger. On both occasions it was Stephen Doyle the runner up in his
Lotus Elan.

A new star on the scene, Craig Davidson with his black Mazda scored
the double in Libre Saloons, splitting the Porsche GT3s of Mark
Gilmartin and Philip Shields, with Gilmartin having the misfortune to
spin at the Hairpin in both races while looking good for victory lane.
The Fiat Abarths made their first visit north and Liam Denning and
Simon Quinn were the race winners.

Formula Sheanes and Formula Vest in the absence of Formula Ford
entertainment provided the single seater action with David Parks the
man in  Sheanes and David O’Brien best of the Vees.

Roadsports and a race long duel between Mark Crawford and Stephen
Donnelly, Donnelly losing out this time to the Radical driver and a
poorly supported Tracksports race featured Wayne Douglas and Philip
Shields in the Juno Ireland cars taking the top two spots.

Superkarts again entertained at the July Championship Car Races at
Kirkistown, with races for both the 125 and 250 gearbox machines and it
was a double for Justin Doherty in the 125s with Liam Fox and Stephen
McAdam taking wins in the 250s.<br type=”_moz”/>

Tim Barnes

Senior Director, Data Managment

My road in life has been direct.
I recognized the demand in the industry. I think sometimes we try to specialize in a specific discipline, and then find that work in the market. I observed the trend of jobs in the market instead.
I was fortunate early in my career to work at a small consulting company. A particular person helped me. He took the time to mentor me, and teach me to program on computers. This was pivotal.
Working in IT wasn't always straight forward in the 80s and 90s. There were new frontiers in technology, and learning and adapting to these was challenging. Hard work and commitment is key.
When times were difficult during my career, I sought out people to help me. I was fortunate to find talented people, who did not hesitate to share skills. It is important to look for help when needed.
Working in business in the last 5 years has been challenging, but also rewarding. Development methodologies have changed dramatically. Continually looking to learn new things is valuable in a career.
Today I enjoy my job. But this has been a journey full of challenges, and sometimes I was side-tracked in my career. Keeping a focus on personal and professional goals is extremely important.

Day to Day

In Data Management, we enable insight into Travelers' complex network of systems and data flow. In that context, we may be working with the business to drive out business definitions for particular data fields, connecting multiple data stores to depict impact analysis between systems, or measuring data quality content in our important data resources. There is a large variety of work each day, providing good connection to our business and IT partners.

Skills & Qualities Beyond School

Data analysis, data modeling, project management in a corporate environment, communication (both oral and written), data integration, relationship management, business naming ability, empathy, ability to set direction and lead, strong listening skills, patience and compassion.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for college students

I feel that learning from someone who is actually performing a role of interest to you is very important. And ideally shadowing a person can provide important insight into a job someone feels they want to perform, or create awareness of a different role as well.

Recommended Education

My career is related to what I studied. I'd recommend the path I took:

The Noise I Shed

From Peers:

"Over time, I've worked with folks who perceive obstacles instead of opportunities. I feel that this can be part of human nature. So on occasion, I've heard some pessimistic assessments on the ability to deliver a project or a product."
