Effectiveness of OOH through ROMItrack |
Since the inception of their ROMItrack product in 2013, Continental Outdoor has produced four studies, as part of an ongoing plan, that show the impact and Return on Investment that an Outdoor Advertising campaign produces on the bottom line.<eot>side of the Alps, my countrymen are the least practised and least perfect in the exercise of the French tongue. By sir William Temple and lord Chesterfield it was only used on occasions of civility and business, and their printed letters will not be quoted as models of composition. Lord Bolingbroke may have published in French a sketch of his 'Reflections on Exile :' hut his reputation now reposes on the address of Voltaire, " Docte sermonis utriusque linguæ :" and by his English dedication to queen Caroline, and his |
Essay on Epic Poetry,' it should seem that Voltaire himself wished to deserve a return of the same compliment. The exception of count Hamilton cannot fairly be urged; though an Irishman by birth, he was educated in France from his childhood. Yet I am surprised that a long residence in England, and the habits of domestic conversation, did not affect the ease and purity of his inimitable style, and I regret the omission of his English verses, which might have afforded an amusing object of comparison. I might therefore assume the "primus ego in patriam," &c. but with what success I have explored this untrodden path must be left to the decision of my French readers. Dr Maty, who might himself be questioned as a foreigner, has secured his retreat at my expense. ne crois pas que vous vous piquiez d'être moins facile à reconnoître pour un Anglois que Lucullus pour un Romain." My friends at Paris have been more indulgent; they received me as a countryman, or at least as a provincial ; but they were friends and Parisians.* The defects which Maty insinuates, so Ces traits saillans, ces figures hardies, ce sacrifice de la règle au sentiment, et de la cadence à la force," are the faults |

of the youth rather than of the stranger: and after the long and laborious exercise of my own language, I am conscious that my French style has been ripened and improved. |
In the outset of a glorious war the English people had been defended by the aid of German mercenaries. A national militia has been the cry of every patriot since the Revolution; and this measure, both in parliament and in the field, was supported by the country gentlemen, or Tories, who insensibly transferred their loyalty to the house of Hanover: in the language of Mr Burke, they have changed the idol, but they have preserved. the idolatry. In the act of offering our names, and receiving our commissions, as major and captain in the Hampshire regiment, (June 12th, 1759,) we had not supposed that we should be dragged away, my father from his farm, myself from my books, and condemned during two years and a half (May 10, 1760—December 23, 1762,) to a wandering life of military servitude. But a weekly or monthly exercise of thirty thousand provincials would have left them useless and ridiculous; and after the pretence of an invasion had vanished, the popularity of Mr Pitt gave a sanction to the illegal step of keeping them till the end of the war under arms, in constant pay and duty, and at a distance from their respective homes. When the king's order for our embodying came down, it was too late to retreat, and too soon to repent. The south battalion of the Hampshire militia was a small independent corps of four hundred and seventy-six, officers and men, commanded by lieutenant-colonel sir Thomas Worsley, who, after a prolix and passionate contest, delivered us from the tyranny of the lord lieutenant, the duke of Bolton. My proper station, |
as first captain, was at the head of my own, and afterwards of the grenadier company; but in the absence, or even in the presence, of the two field officers, I was entrusted by my friend and my father with the effective labour of dictating the orders, and exercising the battalion. With the help of an original journal, I could write the history of my bloodless and inglorious campaigns; but as these events have lost much of their importance in my own eyes, they shall be dispatched in a few words. From Winchester, the first place of assembly, (June 4, 1760,) we were removed, at our own request, for the benefit of a foreign education. By the arbitrary and often capricious orders of the war-office, the battalion successively marched to the pleasant and hospitable Blandford (June 17:) to Hilsea barracks, a seat of disease and discord (September 1;) to Cranbrook in the Weald of Kent (December 11 ;) to the sea coast of Dover (December 27 ;) to Winchester camp (June 25, 1761 ;) to the populous and disorderly town of Devizes (October 23;) to Salisbury (February 28, 1762 ;) to our beloved Blandford a second time (March 9;) and finally to the fashionable resort of Southampton (June 2; where the colours were fixed till our final dissolution December 23.) On the beach at Dover we had exercised in sight of the Gallic shores. But the most splendid and useful scene of our life was a four montlis' encampment on Winchester Down, under the command of the earl of Effingham. Our army consisted of the thirty-fourth regiment of foot and six militia corps. The consciousness of defects was stimulated by friendly emulation. We improved our time and opportunities in morning and evening field-days; and in the general reviews the South Hampshire were rather a credit than a disgrace to the line. In our subsequent quarters of the Devizes and Blandford, we advanced with a quick step in our military studies; the ballot of the ensuing summer renewed our vigour and youth; and had the militia subsisted another |
The loss of so many busy and idle hours was not compensated by any elegant pleasure; and my temper was insensibly soured by the society of our rustic offi |
In every state there exists however a balance of good and evil. The habits of a sedentary life were usefully broken by the duties of an active profession : in the healthful exercise of the field I hunted with a battalion instead of a pack; and at that time I was ready, at any hour of the day or night, to fly from quarters to London, from London to quarters, on the slightest call of private or regimental business. But my principal obligation to the militia was the making me an Englishman and a soldier. After my foreign education, with my reserved temper, I should long have continued a stranger to my native country, had I not been shaken in this various scene of new faces and new friends ; had not experience forced me to feel the characters of our leading men, the state of parties, the forms of office, and the operation of our civil and military system. |
In this peaceful service I imbibed the rudiments of the language and science of tactics, which opened a new field of study and observation. I diligently read and meditated the Mémoires Militaires of Quintus Icilius, (Mr Guichardt,) the only writer who has united the merits of a professor and a veteran. The discipline and evolutions of a modern battalion gave me a clearer notion of the phalanx and the legion; and the captain of the Hampshire grenadiers (the reader may smile) has not been useless to the historian of the Roman empire. |
A youth of any spirit is fired even by the play of arms, and in the first sallies of my enthusiasm I had seriously attempted to embrace the regular profession of a soldier. But this military fever was cooled by the enjoyment of our mimic Bellona, who soon unveiled to my eyes her naked deformity. How often did 1 siglı for my proper station in society and letters! |
How often (a proud comparison) did I repeat the complaint of Cicero in the command of a provincial army! |
" Clitellæ bovi sunt impositæ. Est incredibile quàm me negotii tædeat. Non habet satis magnum campum ille tibi non ignotis cursus animi; et industriæ meæ præclara opera cessat. Lucem, libros, urbem, domum, vos desidero. Sed feram, ut potero; sit modo annuum. Si prorogatur, actum est."* From a service without danger I might indeed have retired without disgrace; but as often as I hinted a wish of resignation, my fetters were rivetted by the friendly entreaties of the colonel, the parental authority of the major, and my own regard for the honour and welfare of the battalion. When I felt that my personal escape was impracticable, I bowed my neck to the yoke: my servitude was protracted far beyond the annual patience of Cicero; and it was not till after the preliminaries of peace that I received my discharge, from the act of government which disembodied the militia.fi |
+ JOURNAL, January 11th, 1761.]—In these seven or eight months of a most disagreeably active life, I have had no studies to set down; indeed, I hardly took a book in my hand the whole time. The first two months at Blandford I might have done something; but the novelty of the thing, of which for some time I was so fond as to think of going into the army, our field-days, our dinners abroad, and the drinking and late hours we got into, prevented any serious reflections. From the day we marched from Blandford ! had hardly a moment I could call my own; almost continually in motion: if I was fixed for a day, it was in the guard-room, a barrack, or an inn. Our disputes consumed the little time I had left. Every letter, every memorial relative to them, fell to my share; and our evening conferences were used to hear all the morning hours strike. |
At 6 last I got to Dover, and sir Thomas left us for two months. The charm was over; I was sick of so hateful a service; was settled in a comparatively quiet situation. Once more I began to taste the pleasure of thinking<eot>OmniUpdate - Discussion Forum - University Web Developers |

April 24, 2020 Quarantine Chronicles |
If you had told me that I would be getting shamed for simply bringing my kids to a grocery store this year. I would have said you were nuts. |
People need to eat. That's just common sense. When you aren't allowed to have a babysitter and don't have a partner in your life, what is a single parent going to do during a health pandemic? You might say the simple answer would be to order groceries. Truth is, I would too. I also have been. I have gone out a total of three times since I've been in self isolation with my children for almost two months now. I've had to go to the grocery store twice and I had to run to the pharmacy once. I don't think any of that is unreasonable. I don't see family or friends, I don't go out. I even try not to go in the back of my building so the kids can run around. Simply because I don't want them touching everything on the way down. It's nerve wracking. I love my kids, I do nothing but try to do what is best for them. Coincidentally, what is best for them is being able to eat. |
I have been doing grocery orders. Suddenly, the service never has delivery dates for my postal code. I suspect because it is a building. As the people close by in houses do have delivery options. I have found a workaround for now by using another address but I shouldn't have to and it makes things more difficult. There was a couple of weeks in between figuring that out and not being able to get groceries unless I physically went to the store. Trust me, two growing bored boys eat a lot. |
We went early and I had my youngest in the stroller. He normally won't sit in one anymore but I wanted to ensure he stayed safe and away from people. I didn't want him to be touching things and I knew I needed to concentrate. I wanted to be in and out as fast as I could with as minimal contact as I could manage. My youngest sat nicely in the stroller for the trip, my oldest stayed with me. I was impressed with the way the outing was going. |
Despite all my precautions and good intentions I was told by someone in the store that I shouldn't be bringing the kids in. I have no doubt that she had good intentions. I have no doubt she said it out of care and concern.Truthfully, I appreciate her care and the fact that she wants us to stay healthy. I'm happy that she seems to be taking this health pandemic seriously. What she failed to realize is, I am too. What I'm not happy about is that it wasn't any of her business. I had no other option to get the food I needed ( and I can't carry much with myself, two kids, and a stroller) so that my children and myself can eat and stay healthy. Dealing with all of this alone, with no reprieve or help, on top of all the stress of going out, and from everything else going on in my life and the world… it isn't easy. It isn't fun. |
I can tell you I didn't appreciate the way her comments made me feel. I knew I was doing the right thing. I was also doing it to the best of my ability. Her comments still added a ton of stress to me, they upset me. They confused my oldest and upset him a little. I know that it should be easy to brush aside but it isn't. It made me not want to go back in there even if I had to. I haven't been back since because I've luckily figured out a way to get groceries brought to me. Which is obviously better than having 3 people go out for them. At a time like this, making people feel bad for doing something they have to do is just wrong. |
The last thing I want to be doing right now is leaving the safety of my home. Not because I am an over anxious mess but because I want to ensure our safety and keep those vulnerable around me safe. I want to be able to have a normal Christmas. I want to be able to have a break and breathe. I won't be able to do that until this is over. I worry about those people in my life who are at risk. It happens that most of the people I am close with in my life are people that wouldn't do well if they caught covid. I'm not even sure I would do well, although I am young I do have health issues. That is a little scary. |
I think it is important for us to recognize that this is a hard time for people. As humans, we aren't made to be isolated. Humans are social creatures. We thrive with others. Our mental health deteriorates without human contact. Not only is there isolation happening, there are so many layers to the stress that this is bringing everyone. Financially, emotionally, medically, physically, and even spiritually. The quote, " We are all in this together" that has been a trending message during quarantine seems perfectly fitting. We really are. What we all do now, and always but it is more readily evident right now, affects everyone. When you decide to break a quarantine to visit family for Easter or whatever else, you're risking other people's and your lives. Not only in a health related manner but you're potentially adding on to the amount of time we need to be in isolation. You're adding to the stress of everyone else. |
With that being said we do have to be mindful that not everyone is in the same situation. People like me who don't have other options for childcare right now might have to bring their children out to grab some groceries. Food is essential. We need to be more mindful that people may not be handling this well. Check in on those around you. Whether that is a phone call, video call, text, email, or even leaving a note on their door (if you happen to be taking a walk or out doing something essential). For Easter my neighbour left some chocolate at my door for the kids. It was a nice gesture. Shortly, when we go to throw the garbage out, since her apartment is on the way to do that, I'm going to get the kids to leave a little treat and thank you note and picture at her door. I know it will brighten her day. |
For those of you struggling right now, my heart is with you. I think in the coming days I will keep up with the quarantine related posts. There is so much that can be said and there are so many avenues to tackle this from. Today, I just wanted to tell you all something that happened and speak to it because it felt like an important message to get out. Stay strong, safe, healthy, and be kind.<eot>Thank you for all these info.

Anyway, some of you may have heard the news about the tragic fire incident here in Butuan City. I'm going to share with you a little about that building. Anyway, it is an old landmark in one of the busiest intersections here. Once an old theatre turned into a badminton court, department store (Novo) and office spaces. It is where I used to go to do my GCash transactions since it's approximately 4 blocks from our house. We passed near the building after the shoot and it looks bare and empty. The fire was strong enough to eat up everything that the only thing left was the concrete firewall.

Posted by Deborah Rees-Frost on 14 August 2018 |
Boardroom | Corporate Governance | Executive Compensation | Financial Reporting Council | HR Reward | Remcom | Reward Consultancy | Bonus | Long Term Incentives | Performance Related Pay | |
If you're newly responsible for executive pay, it's a daunting task. As an HR professional, your role is to help the Remuneration Committee function smoothly, ensuring that reward is fair, retains key individuals, rewards performance but doesn't expose the business to unnecessary risk or cost. It's a tricky balancing act but luckily help is at hand: here's my essential guide to exec pay and bonuses. |
The snappily titled UK Corporate Governance Code offers clear guidance on exec pay. Technically it only applies to the FTSE Premium Listing but makes sense for all companies, listed or not. You don't have to comply, but the code acts as a framework to guide you – and for those companies planning an IPO or trade sale – it makes sense to root your practice in this highly compliant soil. At best, remuneration strategy at Board level should join up the story of how the business plans to succeed for its investors, with how it shares its success with the senior team who helped to create it. |
Paying for performance should be based in measurable outcomes. Having a range of metrics is fine, but they have to be clear, understandable and quantifiable. Being linked to investor's interest is essential but the Board also need to ensure they are confident that growth is sustainable. An example: growth in market capitalisation underpinned with EPS gives roots and wings to a long-term plan. |
Finally, remember that it doesn't always end happily ever after – like Premiership football managers, the tenure of an Executive Team can be 'nasty, brutish and short'. If the non-Executive Directors decide it's not working, be prepared for termination. |
If you would like to discuss exec pay or bonuses in more detail, please email [email protected] or call 020 3457 0894.<eot>In lawsuit led by MN beekeeper, judge rules EPA shouldn't have approved harmful pesticides - Bring Me The News |
A Minnesota beekeeper won an important battle in court last week, when a federal judge ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) violated federal rules when approving pesticides harmful to bees. |
Steve Ellis, a honey producer and commercial pollinator from Barrett, was the lead plaintiff on a lawsuit arguing that the EPA approved 59 neonicotinoid insecticides without considering the impact they could have on endangered species including bees and butterflies. |
Last week, northern California District Judge Maxine Chesney ruled that the EPA had violated the federal Endangered Species Act by not consulting with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before approving the chemicals. |
Chesney found the EPA improperly approved 38 pesticides containing Thiamethoxam and 21 pesticides containing Clothianidin, which the agency admitted in its own submission documents are "toxic to bees." |
The lawsuit claimed the neonicotinoids have killed hundreds of thousands of bees and adversely impacted other wildlife, including birds and mammals. |
It's been four years since the suit was filed by Ellis and a coalition of other beekeepers and environmental groups. Since then, the Fish and Wildlife Service has put three more insects affected by neonicotinoids on the Endangered Species List. |
As MPR reports, these include two butterflies found in Minnesota, the Dakota skipper and the Poweshiek skipperling, and the rusty-patched bumblebee that was listed toward the end of last year and is found across the Midwest. |
In an interview with CourtsideNews after the ruling, the beekeepers' counsel George Kimbrell called it a "vital victory for bees, beekeepers and broader environmental protection." |
So what next? MPR says the judge will now consider whether she should suspend some of the products, with her decision expected to take a few months. |
Pesticide manufacturers including Bayer, Syngenta, Valent USA and Croplife USA had argued against Ellis and his fellow beekeepers.<eot>November 2018 – Page 2 – Hurley Burley Studio |
