The Enclave at the Cathedral is a new residential development located on the property of Manhattan’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The Cathedral and its surrounding gardens and buildings form an 11.3-acre campus collectively referred to as “The Close.” The new residences sit on the site that formerly housed stone sheds used by skilled masons to cut the granite used to construct the Cathedral. Given the proximity of the new building to the Cathedral, the siting, massing, and design of the building were critical. In response, the building is set back on all sides, providing a continuous border of landscape and an extension of The Cathedral Close to the street edge. The building is stepped to open views of the Cathedral’s North Tower at Amsterdam Avenue, and a new landscaped plaza is created at the intersection of West 113th Street. The fifteen-story building is separated into two volumes along its 113th Street frontage, opening views of the Cathedral’s Transept, and a new grand stair provides access to the Cathedral’s nave. The carving of the building’s corners and setbacks allows multiple interior views of the Cathedral, as well as to Morningside Park to the northeast. Save this picture!© David PalerThe Enclave’s façade is composed of a series of different shaped cast-in-place structural concrete ribs, derived from the transformation of the Cathedral’s buttresses. The depth of the ribs varies along West 113th Street, creating an articulated façade that changes as one moves around the building. When viewed obliquely, the ribs obscure the glazing and unify as a building face. At the top of the building, the concrete ribs taper and separate from the glass façade, mimicking the Cathedral’s buttresses. At the bottom, this same tapering increases the size of the landscape border.Save this picture!© David PalerSave this picture!© David PalerThe hand-chiseled concrete of the stepped Amsterdam Avenue façade recalls the work that once took place on the site and presents a quiet deferential expression to the Cathedral. Along Morningside Drive, the solidity of the building disappears, and becomes an abstract form of glass, contained within a delicate concrete frame.Save this picture!ElevationInside, the entrance lobby connects the eastern and western portions of the building by way of a sky-lit gallery below the new transept stairs. The gallery and amenity spaces open to an outdoor terrace overlooking the park. The building interiors follow the material expression of the exterior and contain 430 apartment homes.Save this picture!© David PalerProduct Description. The formwork was a created with plywood faced with a high-density plastic overlay creating a smooth finish to accentuate the undulating facade. The concrete mix, from Casino Concrete, was a slag/cement mix (no fly ash) with a 40% slag content in order to lighten the color as much as possible to appear more like limestone in the context of the Cathedral. The West facades were hand chipped by a mason. The top surfaces of the exposed perimeter beams were protected from weather by coating the top surface with a polymer membrane matching the concrete color and texture.

Fundraising income in Ireland has continued to rise but its per capita giving is half that of the UK’s and four times less than in the US, according to a report from 2into3.The Irish Not-for-Profit Sector: Fundraising Performance Report 2016 is 2into3’s sixth annual report on fundraising in Ireland, and is based on analysis of the 2014 accounts of nearly 1,000 not-for-profits. It shows that the sector increased the amount of income it earned from fundraising by 7% between 2013 and 2014, rising for the fifth consecutive year, and totalling €845 million in 2014.However, the majority of organisations analysed in the report (63%) have an income of less than €100,000, and just 17% reported an increase in fundraised income while 20% experienced a decrease. The international sector saw the largest increase: an average €59,042, while arts, culture, and media saw the largest drop: an average decrease of €25,785.The average cost to raise €1 in 2014 was 30c, while 72% of fundraised income came from individuals, which is a similar proportion to the UK and US, with the majority derived from relationships, in particular, regular giving (36%) and direct marketing appeals (25%).However, while people in Ireland give frequently, the data indicates that scale of giving is lower than elsewhere, with per capita giving at €183, compared to €368 in the UK, and €792 in the US. One reason suggested by the report is that Ireland’s tax incentive to give is at odds to those in most developed economies.The report gives the example of £5,000 donation in the UK where the incentive is 100% of the highest rate of tax. In Ireland however, the incentive is 78% of tax paid at the higher rate. In addition, while the UK’s Gift Aid scheme sees this incentive spilt between the donor and the charity, in Ireland only the charity receives the benefit. Ireland also caps the incentive with an annual limit, and has a minimum donation amount of €250 before the incentive applies.Dennis O’Connor, director of 2into3, said:“Fundraised income in 2014 increased for the fifth consecutive year. It appears that the charity scandals of 2014 did not negatively impact on this. Anecdotally, we also know that this trend has continued on in to 2015 and 2016.”“Having said that, more must be done by both the State and the public to support the not-for-profit sector. Irish charitable giving is significantly lower, per capita and as a proportion of GDP, than the UK.” 107 total views, 1 views today Advertisement Melanie May | 17 November 2016 | News 108 total views, 2 views today AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to TwitterTwitterShare to FacebookFacebookShare to LinkedInLinkedInShare to EmailEmailShare to WhatsAppWhatsAppShare to MessengerMessengerShare to MoreAddThis4 AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to TwitterTwitterShare to FacebookFacebookShare to LinkedInLinkedInShare to EmailEmailShare to WhatsAppWhatsAppShare to MessengerMessengerShare to MoreAddThis4 Fundraising income rises in Ireland but per capita giving lower than UK & US Tagged with: Finance Ireland Research / statistics About Melanie May Melanie May is a journalist and copywriter specialising in writing both for and about the charity and marketing services sectors since 2001.

Just when it seemed impossible for Jeff Bezos and other Amazon bosses to be any more clueless and insensitive toward their workforce, the company introduced “Ama-Zen,” a wellness-isolation box for employees.While the company touts these tiny cubicles as “self-care” spaces for warehouse employees to “focus on their mental and emotional well-being,” thousands of Amazon workers, responding to a video on Amazon’s boxes released on Twitter May 26, mocked them as “despair closets” and compared them to prison solitary confinement cells. (youtu.be/LUX2bLZ3acg)One major problem with the $300 million “Working Well” program is that Amazon’s overworked warehouse employees are not given enough time to even “momentarily escape” from their jobs. One Twitter feed comment described these chambers as “Mental health porta potties.” Another suggested: “At least the employees now have a place where they can piss in a bottle in peace” (a reference to the company’s suggested “option” for delivery workers denied time to use bathrooms).Overall, the thousands of comments denounced this union-busting company’s latest action as dystopian — and another example of how workers are treated like robots. The company actually refers to these boxes as a way “to help workers recharge their internal batteries.”In a press release introducing their “interactive kiosks” May 17, the company states: “During shifts, employees can visit Ama-Zen stations and watch short videos featuring easy-to-follow well-being activities, including guided meditations, positive affirmations . . . [and] just pause and regroup.”Ama-Zen — designed by Amazon “to recharge the internal battery.”“Working Well” is supposed to provide workers with “physical and mental activities, wellness exercises and healthy eating support.” However, the company’s hype fails to mention how overworked workers, on their feet for 10-plus-hour shifts and constantly in motion, would ever have time or energy for this program.While it may sound good, nothing in Amazon’s statement addresses the on-the-ground reality raised by workers during the Bessemer, Ala., Amazon union drive earlier this year, including the lack of adequate break times and the dehumanization of workers’ labor. Key issues included the unrelenting pace set by Amazon’s “time off task” system, where workers are constantly surveilled and penalized with docked pay, for every second taken away from production time. Workers unable to maintain the inhumane, robotic pace risk termination.The union drive raised the lack of adequate time for warehouse workers to leave workstations to get water or to go to the bathrooms — which are often the length of football fields away from their workstations. As for Amazon’s videos, many voiced concerns that they will just be more company propaganda trying to badger workers to go against union drives.By offering coffin-size boxes for use during nonexistent breaks, management only exposes their contempt for workers. One comment suggested “Amazon has introduced the ‘Ama-Zen’. . . to distract from the fact that they busted a unionization effort in Alabama.” Amazon CEOs know that unionized Amazon workers with collective bargaining power would fight for and win genuine workplace improvements.FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailPrintMoreShare thisFacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailPrintMoreShare this read more

January 31, 2013 Experts from the Northern Diving Group helped to raise a Dunkirk ‘little ship’ from a Scottish river bed. The team took part in a two-day operation to lift the Skylark IX, which in 1940 was responsible for bringing home 600 men from the continent.The divers from Faslane volunteered to help enthusiasts raise the 50ft pleasure cruiser which had settled on the bed of the River Leven at the southern end of Loch Lomond, where she’d spent her later life carrying tourists.Back in 1940, the small cruiser had been pressed into service by the Royal Navy and used to bolster the defences of Poole Harbour.But when the urgent call for shipping went out in May 1940 as the Germans overran France, Skylark IX was sent across the Channel to help bring the British Expeditionary Force home.She’s credited with bringing 600 men back to the UK during the Dunkirk evacuation.Seven decades on and, with her days as a cruiser on Scotland’s largest loch done, the boat fell into disrepair, the elements took their toll and Skylark IX sank on the Leven at Balloch.Although the water is only about five feet deep, it took a two-day operation involving the diving group and special buoyancy bags to finally lift the 30-ton boat out of the river.“Normally when you use floatation bags, you rely on the depth of the water to help you – the closer you get to the surface, the air in the bags expands. In such shallow water that’s not possible,” explained Lt Cdr Richard Osbaldestin, in charge of the diving group.“So this was pretty unique training for us – we routinely raise things from the seabed. It’s our bread and butter.“Raising the Skylark was completely different – it was more a case of pushing her up than lifting her and really good training for the guys.”Once lifted, the boat was beached and the plan now is to restore her, giving local young people the chance to learn boat-building skills in the process.“Once she was raised, we found she was actually in pretty good nick – considering how old she was and how long she’d been on the bottom of the river,” said Lt Cdr Osbaldestin“I walked past her a few days ago and she was covered in tarpaulin. Someone had written on it: This little ship saved 600 souls.“It was the most moving piece of graffiti I’d ever seen.”The boat is registered with the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships which lists over 100 craft from the 1940 evacuation which are still with us today.[mappress]Naval Today Staff, January 31, 2013; Image: Royal Navy Training & Education Share this article View post tag: Lift View post tag: Diving Scottish Diving Group Helps Lift Dunkirk ‘Little Ship’ to Surface View post tag: helps View post tag: Group View post tag: little View post tag: Dunkirk View post tag: News by topic View post tag: ship View post tag: Scottish View post tag: Naval View post tag: Navy View post tag: Surface Back to overview,Home naval-today Scottish Diving Group Helps Lift Dunkirk ‘Little Ship’ to Surface read more
