CLARKE WILLIAM GARRETT
Clarke William Garrett, accomplished scholar and author, distinguished professor of history, devoted husband, and beloved father and grandfather, died peacefully on March 2 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was 87 years old.
Clarke was born on February 26, 1935, to William Boyd Garrett and Margaret Clarke Garrett in Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. He maintained his love of Chicago and “all of Chicago”, including persistent and frustrating support for the White Sox, throughout his career.
lifetime.
Clarke loved music and played woodwinds in school bands from an early age. He graduated at the top of his class from Palatine Township High School and attended Carleton College, where he majored in history and played clarinet in the school orchestra. Clarke graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Carleton in 1956. A year earlier, he had met Peggy Davenport, a beautiful, intelligent and vivacious woman, at a church picnic. The two stayed in touch through numerous letters written while Peggy was finishing college in Illinois and Clarke was beginning graduate school at the University of Wisconsin. They married in the summer of 1957, beginning a happy and fulfilling relationship.
marriage that will last 63 years.
Clarke taught history at the University of Wisconsin, while working on her master’s and doctorate. In 1961 he went on to teach at Wake Forest University. Then, in 1965, he joined the history department at Dickinson College. By this point the couple had three daughters, Amy, Susan and Margaret, and settled down with their young family in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Clarke had a long and distinguished career at Dickinson College, where he became Charles A. Dana Professor of History and was named Professor Emeritus upon his retirement. While at Dickinson, he served as chair of the history department, championed the freshman seminar program, and worked extensively with student research and special collections. He was the first history teacher to participate in Dickinson’s Bologna program, and in 1969 he and his family spent a year in Bologna while he taught at the university there. This year in Italy had a formative effect on the Garrett family, introducing them to Italian food and wine, which was the start of their own love of gourmet cooking.
Clarke also took advantage of being in Europe to research his first book on the French Revolution. The following year he took a sabbatical to write this book, and since Peggy was accepted to Northwestern University to complete her master’s degree, the family has spent that year in Illinois. Later, Peggy would also teach in the English department at Dickinson and serve as assistant dean there. Clarke retired from teaching in 1997, after 32 years with Dickinson. In 1998 the couple moved to Santa Fe, NM.
A highly regarded scholar, Garrett has published four books and several dozen articles with particular emphasis on the intersection of religion and politics in the 18th and 19th centuries. In a surprising twist, after his critically acclaimed Respectable Folly: Millenarians and the French Revolution in France and England on the French Revolution, he turned his attention and research back to United States history and wrote Origins of the Shakers, Spirit Possession and Popular Religion: From Camisards to Shakers and the Pursuit of Pleasure: Recreation in Cumberland County in the Nineteenth Century. In recent years, Professor Garrett had discovered a collection of Shaker letters that he was trying to get published. In 2019, Johns Hopkins Press released a reprint of its first book Respectable Folly in paperback.
Throughout her life, Clarke loved music and the arts. He played all kinds of woodwinds, from the clarinet to all kinds of recorders. While at Dickinson, after learning that the orchestra needed a bassoonist, he picked up the instrument and joined the orchestra. He also starred in a number of college productions. A dedicated singer who could sing bass and tenor parts, he sang in the St. John’s Episcopal Church Choir, Dickinson Collegium Musicum, and Cantata Carlisle. After moving to Santa Fe, Clarke sang with St. Bede’s Episcopal Choir and was a member of the Santa Fe Symphony Chorus. Clarke has been active as a volunteer with the Carlisle Theater Project, Central PA Youth Ballet and the Carlisle Community Concert Series. He enjoyed cooking and traveling with Peggy, dining with friends and family, bird watching and listening to opera. He remained a prolific reader to the end, willingly reading and discussing anything with anyone. He was not afraid to express his opinions! Clarke was fiercely devoted to his family and he will be greatly missed.
Clarke is predeceased by his wife Peggy and his brother John. He is survived by his brother, Tom, his daughters Amy, Susan and Margaret, their husbands, John, David and Bruce, and four grandchildren, Daniel, Isabel, Juliet and Katya, as well as many loving nieces and nephews. There will be a memorial service at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church in Santa Fe, NM on April 23, 2022. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation in Clarke’s honor at your NPR station local.

Eltaf Samim, a Mountain View High graduate, has traveled across six countries, completed seventh, eighth, and ninth grades multiple times in different countries, and taken classes in three languages ​​toward graduating from high school this year .

The Afghan refugee left his home country in 2015, after his father feared his work with the US military would put Eltaf and his four younger siblings at risk of being kidnapped.

“I remember it was very cold outside, my mother was packing, I said what was going on, she replied that there was no time for questions, pack everything and go to bed “, Eltaf said.

His family’s first stop was Iran, where they split into several cars and ‘pressed the gas’ when they saw police wanting to arrest them. They hid in a basement in a small village, where a guide gave them food and water and told them to be quiet.

Then, when night fell, it was time to walk to Turkey. In the dark. In the snow. “In very tight places where if you slip you’ll die,” says Eltaf. Six hours later, Eltaf and his group reached another border, with other police looking for refugees, who shouted at them to stop, then started shooting when they didn’t.

“I had a giant backpack, as an eldest I wanted to keep an eye on the younger ones,” says Eltaf. “I made sure everyone got through and then I did too.”

Once in Istanbul, it was again time to hide in another house. His family left Turkey in a group of 50 who traveled on water by airboat, just before a storm, battling large waves to land on the shore of Greece. Then to Macedonia, Austria and finally Germany, where Eltaf says he “finally found a bed to sleep in again”.

And Eltaf, who left Afghanistan after finishing ninth grade, re-enrolled in school, where he was told he would start in seventh grade.

“I showed up without any transcripts, some English, my own mother tongue and no German at all,” Eltaf said. “I finished seventh grade there, then eighth grade, and my grades were extremely bad because of my bad German, they said I had to repeat eighth grade again.”

So Eltaf did it. And then he finished ninth grade for the second time, this time in Germany. After completing tenth grade, her family was chosen for a special immigrant visa to the United States. And on March 31, 2021, they landed at Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia.

Last May, at age 20, Eltaf started at Mountain View High, an alternative school in the Fairfax County public school system. Mountain View is designed to accommodate students over the age of 18.

“I was so surprised, I came here, they gave me a username, a password and a laptop!” said Eltaf. “I thought, ‘This is amazing! “”

He wrote as many articles as he could for the school newspaper, encouraged by his teachers. Shortly after starting, Eltaf learned that Mountain View had two potential graduation dates: a February graduation and a June graduation.

“As soon as I found out about this February graduation, I said I was going to make it happen,” Eltaf said.

“But they said there were over 50 outstanding economics assignments that students had completed that had been there all year that I still had to do.”

“I set my alarm clock for 4am on Saturday morning and started to work. I returned them all on Monday. Nobody expected that.”

He started his final year at FCPS last August and in February Eltaf graduated, as he had planned.

Eltaf walks away with a high school diploma, a slew of scholarships to help pay for his tuition at Northern Virginia Community College next fall, and a sense of gratitude.

“When I was a kid, people used to say America is the land of opportunity, you go there, you get it all,” he said. “I found out it was, but you have to set a goal and work like hell if you want to be successful.”

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Starting in August, refugee middle and high school students will have a new learning option in Warren County.

Teranga Academy, a school dedicated to supporting teens and their families who are new to the United States, will be located at the Bowling Green Learning Center on Old Morgantown Road.

The academy is part of a joint effort between Bowling Green Independent Schools and Fugees Family, Inc., a network dedicated to refugee education, to provide students with up to three years of English immersion programs based on skills with trauma-informed and culturally appropriate practices. education.

Students will also have the opportunity to play football to serve as an international language of teamwork, perseverance and overcoming setbacks.

Additionally, classes will include reading, writing, math, and English.

“We really want to give these kids the opportunity to not only learn a language first, but also learn that basic content that they need to know so they can be successful in the classroom and open up when they walk into our middle or high school doors for them far beyond their high school experience,” said Bowling Green Independent School District Superintendent Gary Fields.

To be eligible, students must have been in the United States for three years or less, be multilingual, and have had their formal education interrupted.

Teranga will be open to students at Bowling Green Junior High School and Bowling Green High School beginning August 16.

If you want to know more, Teranga will organize parent evenings from April.

Children of Krishna and Uma Balakrishnan have many questions. They are only 11 and 8 years old. So it’s relatively simple so far. Why do they go to the temple? Why do their friends go to church?

The Bloomington couple know these questions are only going to get tougher as their children grow into teenagers and young adults. They will start dating. Choose a college. Decide which career to pursue.

“Some questions we never asked our parents,” Uma said. “But we are also looking for answers. For an 11 year old and an 8 year old, I want to make sure I give at least the correct answer. But they expect clear answers. That’s a big difference in parenting.

Krishna and Uma are among the many East Indians in Bloomington-Normal who navigate life as parents and first-generation immigrants. No parent has it easy, but it takes a special blend of courage and resilience to raise children to thrive in a culture you’re learning too. Added to this level of difficulty is the desire of many Indian parents to find practical ways to keep their children connected to their Indian culture – and to ensure that they can converse with Grandma and Grandpa at 8,000 miles away.

“It is very different now,” Krishna said. “We are constantly learning with them, trying to improve and be better parents as much as they try to adapt between worlds.”

Uma added, “They are American Indians, so they see each other in both worlds. They are not in bubbles.

Krishna and Uma grew up in southern India. Their journey to Bloomington-Normal is unique to them, but also echoes the experience of many other Indians who have found a new home here.

“My parents put me on a one-way flight to a country no one had been to before,” Uma said.

They earned advanced degrees in computer engineering, and it was State Farm that brought them to Bloomington. Uma thought they would be here 6 months. They stayed for 14 years. They now own and manage the Parke Regency Hotel on the east side of Bloomington.

Krishna and Uma enjoy the quality of life here, especially the commuting. Their children can take classes and extracurricular activities, even on weeknights, while still having quality family time.

“While I was at State Farm, (Uma) would call me at night and say, ‘Hey, can I make you some tea? And by the time she makes tea, I’m home. It’s a luxury you can’t get anywhere else in the world,” Krishna said with a smile.

Krishna and Uma’s children grow up surrounded by American culture. But they’ve also invested a lot of time in making sure their kids stay connected to their Indian heritage.

They only cook Indian food at home so they are nothing new when visiting India. They celebrate all the holidays. And they went so far as to start their own non-profit language school six years ago, called Abdul Kalam Tamil Palli, helping their children and more than 80 others learn their mother tongue (Tamil).

Language

Normal’s Jay Tummala said the language was a big consideration for his family.

Before going to school for the first time, many children of Indian origin in Bloomington-Normal speak their family’s native language at home, Tummala said. For his family, it is Telugu.

“Once they start going to preschool and kindergarten, there’s your identity crisis,” Tummala said. “Because when you go to school, everything is in English. And when you come home and try to be 100% in your native language, it’s going to be very confusing for a lot of kids. And most children will automatically switch to English and their families will give it up too.

But it is a problem if there are grandparents in India who want to get to know their grandchildren. It’s expensive and time-consuming to bring your whole family back to India for visits, Tummala said. So that makes phone calls and now video calls important, he said.

“Our family has been there. That’s when we noticed…oh my god, the kids are not able to communicate properly with the grandparents because of the language difference,” Tummala said.

So, about 10 years ago, Tummala helped start a language school for Telugu.

“Unfortunately, not all languages ​​have this opportunity (in Bloomington-Normal). Only a few have it, and we are lucky to have it. And I feel like it helps them at least be able to communicate with their extended family back home,” said Tummala, whose two children are now in middle school and high school.

The rapid growth of Indians in McLean County around 2000 facilitated those cultural ties, said Archana Shekara of Bloomington, whose children were born in the late 1990s.

“There was a sea of ​​Indians in this town. And it was to our advantage. All of a sudden, we felt noticed. We felt like, yes, the community was growing. And there were so many opportunities for my children to learn about our culture, our traditions, our music,” she said.

Her daughter spent years learning Indian dance. His son took a real interest in Indian classical music.

“This is how we keep our cultural traditions,” Shekara said. “It’s so important for kids today to understand who they are and feel good about themselves. Because there are fights. I saw my own kids struggle in elementary school and middle school. It was then that they discovered colorism and sought a community within the school. And it was hard for them. »

Shekara was still learning about American culture herself when, at age 25, she became a mother.

“It was very difficult,” she said. “It was like, how do you trust? How confident are you to send your child to a sleepover? Because that kind of culture didn’t exist when I was growing up. How do you let your child go to someone else’s house – who you really don’t know who they are – and have a slumber party? … My children would say, ‘Everybody does that, and we don’t!’ »

Parenting Styles

Mustafa Jawadwala from Bloomington half-jokingly wishes there was an official parenting manual. Her children are 8 and 3 years old. And like the children of Krishna and Uma, Mustafa asks a lot of questions.

“I think that’s the age we’re in: kids are much more analytical. They don’t hesitate. They will ask you questions. And then it makes you think about how you respond to them. A lot of things have changed,” Mustafa said. “(Being a parent is) a very personal experience. I know they say you should learn from the experience of others. But this one is, like, so personal that it gets really hard.

Mustafa grew up in Mumbai and came to Bloomington 11 years ago. He works in information technology – a life his own parents played a key role in shaping.

“A lot of the decisions that were (made) for me were because my parents thought it might work well for me. And that’s how I am who I am today. A lot of what I am educationally is an investment, a decision, a conscious effort on the part of my parents,” Mustafa said.

WGLT asked Indian parents, like Mustafa, what influence they want to have on the career paths of their own children. Indians are among the most educated groups in the United States, with 75% of those 25 and older having earned a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to the Pew Research Center. It’s only 33% for all Americans.

“For me, a lot of decisions were made based on my parents. I would definitely like to provide the support system for my children, but at the end of the day I want them to choose what makes life more fulfilling or what makes them happy,” Mustafa said.

Archana Shekara, mother of two young adults, knows this question well. When she was younger, she felt pressure from her father. First, he told her she would be a housewife. When she insisted on going to work, her options were limited: she could be a doctor, or a teacher, or take the civil service exams.

Archana came to the United States and, with the support of her husband, found and pursued her passion: art. When she came to Bloomington-Normal and was working in graphic design, she didn’t feel her work was respected within the Indian community here. But that changed once she got a job at Illinois State University, where she’s now an associate professor of graphic design.

“Because academia is considered super respected. It is a highly respected profession,” she said.

Her experience – and all that time spent with students – shapes her approach with her own children. Her son was recently deciding when to pursue higher education. Archana advised him to take a few years off from school – “go get a job, do something else. Don’t study.

“He came back to me and said, ‘I’m so surprised you’re saying that, mum. Being an Indian parent, I thought you were going to say go straight to medical school and finish and don’t lose your time. And I was like, ‘You know what: life is not a checkbox,'” Archana said. “I went to graduate school at 36. You can do the same. Its good. We do not care. No one is evaluating you.

Krishna and Uma’s children are young, but they feel a similar attraction.

One day, their 11-year-old daughter approached them – almost in tears – and told them they were holding her.

“It kind of broke our hearts,” Krishna said. “We said, ‘What are you talking about? We give you everything you want. You are well cared for. How are we holding you back?'”

Their daughter was looking for independence. So they let her choose her own activities outside of school. She chose singing and gymnastics.

“We understood that it was his passion. And we saw that when we sent her to class we wanted her to go, that passion was not there. I feel like we give them that independence to choose: OK, if that’s your passion and your path, we want to show them that everything has consequences and that you have to work hard and you can be the best at whatever you want make.

It’s kind of a blend of their two cultures, Uma said: High expectations in pursuit of your passion.

“We can survive thousands of miles from home because we understand the importance of education and how things are done in different parts of the world,” Krishna said. “You can only get that through education. I don’t see any other skill that can fill this gap.

This article mentioned the top object-oriented programming languages ​​to follow in 2022

The IT world depends on high quality programmers and developers who can write code for any organization. Programming language developers play an important role in determining the success of applications. Each programming language is designed for a specific purpose. Object-oriented programming languages ​​are basically an approach of defining data structures as objects that can hold data and methods.

OOP languages ​​allow programmers to work with real entities in a way that works. In OOP, objects can store different methods in the form of knowledge, data and conditions. And OOPs can be used for in-depth analysis of web application types, less development time, precise coding, easy testing, reuse, debugging, and less data corruption. Analyzing the right OOP language for the development process is something that can make coding difficult for programmers. OOP languages ​​provide ease and transparency for less complicated applications. C++, GO, PYTHON, RUBY, JAVA are the best OOP languages.

PYTHON

Python codes are not completely object oriented but the language supports them. Python is tied to the concept of object-oriented programming with its combination of readability and flexibility to create complex operations in data science.

Python classes are used to define data structures on something specific. It is popular and renowned for its versatility, ease and speed of development. It is perfect for ML and data science applications. It has a vibrant community that is open to helping you learn. But python is an interpreted language and is not the fastest.

According to the Stack Overflow survey, Python is one of the most popular programming languages ​​of the year. It’s object-oriented, cross-platform, and comes with a full set of libraries, including Django, Theano, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, Keras, PyTorch, and Pandas.

C++

Although C-based languages ​​are not object-oriented, C++ is an OOP language. C++ is a powerful high-level programming language that can create interpreters and compilers to help interpret other programming languages. C++ includes all the concepts of C. C++ has a large community. Unlike Python and Ruby, C++ is a compiled language and is therefore very fast.

The main focus of C++ was data binding, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation. C++ is a mature language that has been around for a long time. It is an incredibly powerful language that can be used for low-level manipulation of operating systems and file systems. It offers many libraries for code reuse.

RUBY

Ruby is like Python, it’s an interpreted language, so it’s slower than other compiled languages. As for the implementation and general usability. Ruby is built to impress and comes with a full-featured, expandable design that’s simple. Ruby’s syntax is quite simple and can be understood and used by anyone who has used a modern programming language.

Ruby is a great language for rapid prototyping, which makes it a great choice for startups. Ruby is a pure OOP language that works on objects. All values ​​in Ruby are objects. It has lots of useful tools and libraries. It makes more sense to call Ruby an efficient, high-level programming language. Ruby has an active community of developers.

There is a high demand for Ruby on Rails developers, which will allow you to develop web applications by leveraging the collection of pre-existing code. This means that instead of creating an entirely new application on Ruby from scratch, you can use pre-existing codes to create whatever you want to code. Many well-known websites and apps such as Hulu, Airbnb, Github, and Homebrew are built on Ruby.

GOES

Go is new in the list of best object oriented programming languages ​​also known as Golang. Developed by Google in 2007. It’s fast and great for creating single-page web applications. There is a lot of discussion about whether Go is an object oriented programming language or not.

Go was designed to build high-performance, large-scale applications. It is a versatile language that can be used for building system frameworks, web development, and data processing, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Go lacks generics, which means it won’t be easy to reuse your code in the same app.

Go is a relatively new language that is only a decade old. Nonetheless, it has been embraced by thousands of software developers for its capabilities and beginner-friendly learning curve. Although Go is a vibrant open source community and its developers are among the highest paid in the United States, it is difficult to communicate with it.

JAVA

Java is more than just a high-level programming language. Java is one of the best and most widely used OOPs on the market today. Java has come a long way and is widely known for its implementation and strategic development. Android development has reached new heights thanks to Java, which is an achievement in itself.

With Java, developers have everything they need to build web applications and software solutions at their fingertips. Java was designed to be platform independent, allowing developers to write code once and be able to run it on different platforms such as desktop, web, and mobile.

Java’s motto is “Write once, run anywhere”. It has a simple syntax and is not complicated to learn. Java has an excellent development ecosystem that only a few languages ​​have and its online community is very large. It is faster than Python and Ruby.

Java offers all the benefits of high-level OOP languages ​​with modular software, flexibility, extensibility, and a simple development process. But it doesn’t offer as good performance as C++, for example.

Java libraries, frameworks, make Java easily readable on all platforms it runs on. Moreover, Java Virtual Machine is the basic concept of high-level programming language that executes, loads and verifies Java code.

Cindy Anderson, an English teacher at Culbreth Middle School, has worked with students from diverse backgrounds, many of whom are new to the United States and have come from non-traditional educational paths.

When English learning moved online during the pandemic, Anderson said, it became difficult for teachers and students.

“It’s put (the students) at least a year behind, if not more, and trying to get them to a certain level at this point is very difficult,” she said.

English language learners often aren’t able to get as much help outside of school as other students, Anderson said. This lack of support can hurt them academically.

“Some of our better-off students can get a lot of help, our kids can’t,” she said. “Maybe they were home alone while mom and dad worked, or mom and dad slept during the day so they could work at night.”

As the pandemic and associated staffing shortages have taken their toll on North Carolina school districts, English teachers like Anderson have faced many unique challenges.

Emily Lewis, ESL facilitator for Orange County Schools, said in an email that the broader teacher shortage has affected the ESL curriculum for the school district.

Lewis said that at one school, several kindergarten teachers had to learn how to deliver language lessons to students due to a lack of available ESL teachers.

“Truly the teachers are stretched and doing their best, but we all know we could do more if we were full,” she said in the email.

Lewis supervises, provides instructional coaching, and monitors the effectiveness of the ESL program. This work, she said, has been directly and significantly affected by the pandemic.

Along with other ESL teachers, Lewis has been forced to learn how to navigate remote learning during the pandemic. She said she provided lessons and support directly to students due to teacher shortages caused by the COVID-19 quarantine and isolation.

Sashi Rayasam, director of K-12 English learner services for Durham Public Schools, said in an email that the pandemic has also had a significant effect on ESL teachers for the DPS.

She said that although the pandemic has affected English learners, there have been no significant vacancies for ESL teachers.

“Teachers had to adapt to virtual delivery of the curriculum, ensure students had access to technology, and manage student access to social/emotional support,” Rayasam said.

Fight against the shortage

To make up for the lack of certified teachers, Lewis said the OCS has added English tutors to its ESL program. She said this opportunity has allowed English learners to receive more one-on-one support.

Carrie Doyle, president of the Orange County Board of Education, said OCS’s ESL programs are working “reasonably well” despite the pandemic and associated staffing shortages.

“Specifically for ESL teachers, we currently have one part-time position at the primary level that is vacant and one full-time position at the middle level that is vacant,” she said. “We don’t have any vacancies in high school.”

However, she said it was difficult to find people involved in translation and family outreach services, which led to these specific shortages in some schools.

To address these staffing shortages, the district has established Parent Academies for families whose first language is not English. These programs are designed to provide parents with a better understanding of how to access services such as the college application process and online education programs for their students.

“A lot of people come from different countries with different understandings of public school, and so it’s as much the language (as) the way the American education system works that we offer families,” Doyle said.

Lewis said in an email that although many families struggled during remote learning, the return to in-person learning has helped ESL teachers better reach their students.

“This partnership between schools and families has continued beyond remote learning and I am proud of our ESL team’s continued efforts to help families become essential members of their respective school communities,” said she declared.

The Australian Center for Education (ACE) held the official opening ceremony for its Tuol Kork campus last Wednesday, attended by government officials, embassies, NGOs and multinational, public and private organisations. .

Established by IDP Education in 1992 to provide English language training to UNTAC – United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia – staff, ACE is widely regarded as its first English language training delivery in Cambodia and the region.

The Tuol Kork campus is one of six ACE centers run by IDP Education in Cambodia, reflecting the continued high demand for English skills among young Cambodians and non-native international English speakers.

ACE Tuol Kork was operational in 2018, but due to the pandemic, official opening formalities have been delayed until now.

ACE welcomes over 20,000 students each term in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and online through its virtual campus platform. Approximately 700,000 students representing 38 nationalities have studied at ACE over the past 30 years.

HE Dr Hang Chuon Naron, Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, HE Pablo Kang, Australian Ambassador to Cambodia, and Mao Sreng, ACE/IDP Education Country Director, presided over the ceremony.

Underlining the importance of learning English, the Minister of Education said: “English is very important for students to acquire knowledge, as a means of communication and as a gateway to study all other subjects. . Mastering and having a better command of English is very important to improve the quality of higher education in Cambodia and pursue lifelong learning goals.

Referring to Cambodia’s role as ASEAN Chair this year, Chuon Naron said, “English is an ASEAN language, and a good command of English is important for participating in meetings and meetings. ASEAN releases. I want to congratulate ACE for providing these essential English skills to so many Cambodians for over three decades.

After a tour of the new campus, Ambassador Kang said, “During these 30 years, ACE has exceeded international standards by ensuring students have access to highly qualified teachers and world-class technology, such as available here in Toul Kork.

“ACE has remained at the forefront of innovation in education, especially during the early stages of Covid, and was the first major educational institution in Cambodia to develop a fully functional learning management system which allowed students to continue their learning online.

“This innovation enables ACE to manage ongoing business risks, particularly those currently presented by the Omicron variant, by adopting a hybrid model of face-to-face and online learning.”

Commenting on ACE’s growing global reputation, the Ambassador said: “Last year ACE won the prestigious ‘PIEoneer Language Educator of the Year’ award in London and, being selected by a jury of 43 judges from universities, institutions and professional bodies in 25 countries, I am happy to say that ACE is truly recognized internationally as an institution of excellence.

Kang also reflected on the educational institution’s commitment to CSR: “ACE should be recognized for its corporate social responsibility through the organization’s social communities and, through its student ambassadors. , students and alumni, supporting the local community on education, the environment, poverty and national emergencies.

“During the pandemic, ACE’s provision of refreshments to frontline workers and opening a campus as a vaccination center was commendable.”

Sreng said in his welcome address, “2022 marks 30 years of our operations and contribution to the education sector in Cambodia through our English language teaching, IELTS testing and job placement services. foreigner.

“I am delighted to lead a dedicated team to provide world-class education services to our students in Cambodia.

“We are also actively at the forefront of sharing best practices in the ELT industry through various international professional development forums, including the annual CamTESOL conference series.”

Currently, ACE offers face-to-face and virtual English programs for students, from children aged eight and up to adults and professionals.

The ACE Tuol Kork Campus also houses an IDP Study Abroad Resource Center and the official IELTS Cambodia test center office.

and Ireland.

Established by the Australian government 53 years ago, IDP Education is also proud co-owner of IELTS (International English Language Testing System), the world’s most popular English proficiency test.

Blade Air Mobility saw strong revenue growth last year and CEO Rob Wiesenthal said AIN that he expects the trend to continue. “We were pleasantly surprised on the revenue side where we beat just about every analyst estimate. We restarted our airport [shuttle] products and began to beat – on a regular basis – the number of flights before the 2019 pandemic to JFK [airport] and back. Leisure routes that only operated on weekends have become seven-day-a-week businesses.”

Meanwhile, Wiesenthal said, the company’s finances have “improved dramatically.” Revenue for the year increased 156% to $67.2 million. In the fourth quarter, revenue jumped 208% year-over-year to $24.6 million, and was up 371% from the same period in 2019. Blade reported that revenue “ short-haul” soared 191%, to $6.2 million, in the quarter. Although Blade remains in a mode that focuses market growth on profitability, Blade still managed to post a profit of $800,000 in the fourth quarter.

In addition, the company has plenty of cash reserves. In May, it raised approximately $365 million through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) combination with Experience Investment Corp. and became a publicly traded company with a current market capitalization of over $500 million. Some analysts expect its share price to more than double in the coming year as eVTOLs and urban air mobility infrastructure move closer to market reality.

Bolstered by new capital, Blade took several significant growth steps last year, including the acquisition of Trinity Air Medical and its integration into Blade’s fast-growing MediMobility organ transport unit. It also paid $12 million to acquire passenger routes from Helijet, based in Richmond, British Columbia.

The acquisition of Trinity in September made Blade the largest transporter of human organs for transplantation in the United States. transport up to 75%. “There are a lot of growth opportunities there,” he said.

Addressing the Helijet deal, Wiesenthal said the operator already has a well-established passenger business in the Pacific Northwest. “Before the pandemic, they were transporting well over 125,000 people a year, and that turned out to be a great acquisition for us,” he noted.

Blade is also looking to expand into other markets, including South Florida. “We believe that in South Florida there is a real understanding and appreciation for helicopters and enthusiasm to make the transition to eVTOL. We are working hard to research our opportunities in South Florida,” according to Wiesenthal.

Over the past few years, Blade has announced deals with various eVTOL manufacturers, including Beta and Embraer’s Eve. Last year, Blade said it would take up to 20 eVTOL Beta Alia 250s, with deliveries beginning in 2024 for operations beginning in 2025. These planes will be acquired through “third-party financing relationships” with operators and will be used to serve the company’s routes. terminals mainly in the northeastern United States where Beta will install chargers.

Meanwhile, Eve plans to deliver 60,000 eVTOL flight hours to Blade operating partners beginning in 2026 for use in the South Florida and California markets.

Wiesenthal sees quieter eVTOLs as part of the solution to the ongoing helicopter noise debate in places like New York and Los Angeles and believes their introduction will generate wider political acceptance and further drive market demand.

“New York City Mayor Eric Adams is more helicopter-friendly. He’s really pro-business and wants City 2.0 to be a reality. He understands that the infrastructure that Blade has in the city is critical to the transition. towards using electric vertical planes,” Wiesenthal said. “He wants to be in this area and wants us to improve the attractiveness of Manhattan. We’ve seen people move to Florida and other places and he wants those people to come back And one way to do that is to have helicopter short-range aviation to reduce [ground] traffic, which is now above pre-pandemic levels in New York. He is extremely enthusiastic about our transition to [electric vertical aircraft] and very supportive of our business as a whole.

According to Wiesenthal, the New York market still has plenty of room to grow. “In New York, 28 million people commute between Manhattan and airports by car. So there is a huge market for air passengers, replacing a two-hour flight with a five-minute flight for $95 or $195 and breaking the Uber Black price barrier and matching Uber X during peak hours,” said he declared. “So we’re seeing phenomenal growth between our current situation and the [eventual] market size to get people to airports. At this time we only do this from a helipad to JFK and Newark, but we will be adding La Guardia at some point and near helipads in the area. We also see a business opportunity in the northeast Philadelphia-Boston corridor.

Wiesenthal also sees Blade’s last-mile passenger service as an important contributor to the company’s overall strategy. “The last mile and the first mile are extremely important. We actually have our own taxi and limo service certification base here. We are authorized by the city to arrange ground transportation for our clients, which was a very daunting task.

“I think at the end of the day, given that it’s not the Jetsons and they won’t be for several years, we’re not going to land on top of your building. As far as you have to get to a Blade terminal, we should be able to organize this for you – you shouldn’t have to fragment your trip A good portion of our customers use Blade Essential Ground Connect, safe SUVs with HEPA filters and plexiglass partitions We already provide this for free at airports to get people from helicopters to their commercial terminal and we recently announced with [FBO] Signature a Blade sub-terminal inside Signature Newark which will help us process many more passengers and provide a better passenger experience.

Helicopters will continue to drive Blade’s near-term market growth, and that situation is improving. Blade’s flight margins were 16% in the fourth quarter, compared to 11% for the comparable period of 2019. The company attributed the improvement to greater utilization of Blade airport services and increased contributions segments of other business segments, including its organ transportation and jet aircraft businesses.

The pandemic also drove some of that improvement, as customers began using the service to facilitate more frequent trips between New York City and second homes in places like the Hamptons. “There are no more weekends during the pandemic. [Before the pandemic] we could have 14 helicopters flying back and forth to one destination on Thursday and Friday and those helicopters were very idle on Tuesdays and Wednesdays,” Wiesenthal said.

“Now it’s all spread out [during the week] and it’s better for our operators because you get better utilization with fewer helicopters and fewer pilots, instead of having to staff for peak demand. Our operator partners should take advantage of this,” he said, adding that some operators have had to add helicopters to meet the overall increase in demand during the pandemic. “We have definitely increased the number of aircraft used by some of our operators, and as we move into new regions, we expect that to continue this year.”

Blade has responded to demand by issuing passes for $295 that cover flight segments up to 100 miles. “The pandemic has cut both ways,” Wiesenthal explained, noting that some Covid precautions and the disruption of airport service have increased costs.

“We had to administer the mandatory pre-vaccine [passenger] blood oxygen and temperature checks and electrostatic decontamination of aircraft, and that has become very expensive. We have opted out of this now and require mandatory vaccination for all our flights. But net-net, it was more of a demand issue for certain products than a cost issue,” he said. “In some places it increases the volume of your flight and in others it doesn’t.”
