Ok, I’ll throw my hands up and admit it – I really dropped the ball on the blog. A big increase in work, a tough break up and a general lack of motivation meant that I didn’t really think of updating this during phase three so… well, I didn’t. But I’ve just begun phase four and it seems like a shame to leave the blog ending such abruptly so I thought I’d do a post to sum up what to expect after your first sea phase.

First up, there will be stories – so many stories! You’ll be hard pressed to find a situation where someone won’t chip in with ‘well, when I was at sea…’. It sounds a bit obnoxious but honestly, it isn’t. Hearing how the classroom lessons relate to everyones sea time really helps to contextualise the theory.

However, the downside to this is that it can be hard going back to looking at ship life from an academic standpoint – I think we all struggled with frustration at one point or another after four or more months of hands on application. It reminded me of the differences between the driving theory test and, y’know… actually driving. Sure, it’s the same for the most part, but everyone has their nuances and no plan survives contact with humanity so sometimes you just have to suck it up.

In many ways Phase three felt like two semesters pushed into one. The first four-ish months was quite eclectic – Meteorolgy and Stability come to mind as the toughest of the units. There is a lot of information to take in for Met but the exams seem to follow a formula so if you can get hold of a few past papers then you should be able to refine your revision areas nicely. I have no problem admitting that maths is not my strong point so Stability is proving to be a bit of an pain but that’s a common one for people to struggle with.

The second half was much more law based – in fact, aside from the ship handling unit in the simulator (which was great) and the four week NAEST short course (which wasn’t quite so enjoyable), it was pretty much all law of one description or another! On one hand that means very few exams, but on the other there are a lot of essays. Different strokes for different folks but I prefer coursework to examinations so, aside from the subjects being quite dry, that wasn’t too bad.

You’ll also have to sit your Signals exam which is one hell of an expensive resit if you fail! To pass you’ll need to identify 18/20 for both flags and morse code as well as score 9/10 on general questions and convince your tutor that you know the meanings of the flags. There’s no easy way to learn ‘em – you just have to do it. I found that making revision cards and hitting them hard for half an hour every night helped, as well as group revision sessions with my coursemates. It isn’t fun but I’d recommend getting on that during your first sea phase so it isn’t such a commitment during phase three.

I’ll openly admit this though – I was pretty burnt out by the end of the second semester, as were most of my coursemates. There were a few bits that would have been useful to have known before our first sea phase and others which felt a little unnecessary, especially given that we don’t get our exceptions anymore when going for our Chief Mates ticket. Ah well, it was a struggle but we all got there in the end.

On a more general note, Warsash has properly moved into central Southampton now. As a whole, I prefer it – I like living in the centre with The Art House and Forbidden Planet within walking distance and having easy access to the facilities at Solent is a real bonus. The college building that is now Warsash Maritime Academy is a pretty standard college building, a bit clinical but perfectly practical. And that’s where it falls down a bit – the Warsash reputation is built on legacy and we left that behind at the old campus. There’s no real maritime vibes in the new place. It’s also led to a lack of community vibe – in the old campus you’d make friends with engineers and officers from different phases, drink with visiting Officers in the bar and have breakfast with your classmates. There’s none of that in the new place. It’s just…where you go to class. I’m glad I got to experience the classic Warsash as this isn’t it. Will that cause problems for Academy? Only time will tell. I feel like a lot of people will come to it with more of a ‘university student’ mindset which could be troublesome but I’d be lying if I said that the old Warsash site wasn’t a nightmare if you actually wanted to do anything. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

On the subject on the city centre, I’m sorry to say that you’ll have to get better at budgeting – accommodation is generally quite expensive and you’ll be surprised at how much you lose to food. I stayed in Emily Davies, the most basic of student accommodations available to us. On the plus side the location amazing – you’ll be two streets back from the high street. In terms of picking up supplies, going out and catching a coach/train it’s a dream. The downside is that it’s quite expensive for what you get – it is massively outdated and in need of a refurb. The bathrooms in particular feel like something from a low end holiday park. There’s also only four washing machines for the four blocks of flats (so, 16 flats x 4 rooms = 64 rooms, times four buildings… 256 people. Ouch!) and no real social area so that’s a big vibe killer. Honestly, if you can, talk to your sponsor companies and see if they’ll pay your accommodation allowance (if you get one, that is) direct to you and get a house or flat somewhere with your mates – you’ll be better off and probably make more memories that way as the set up, along with everything I mentioned about the new building, can make it quite a lonely experience.

So, yeah, sorry for the long post – I wanted to give an honest idea of what to expect during phase three at Warsash. It is long, it isn’t easy, and it’ll lead into the longest sea phase of the lot.

No one said it would be easy.

Until next time, stay lucky.

Student halls developer Empiric mothballs three projects

Developer Empiric Student Property has halted plans for three student accommodation projects as it seeks to protect cash reserves.

The firm announced this morning that it has decided to delay the developments until market conditions stabilise.

Projects delayed include the 232-bed Emily Davies scheme in Southampton, a Canterbury building refurbishment  to create 134 beds and its 153-bed St Mary’s project in Bristol.

Plymouth-based URBN Construction was understood to be in line for the redevelopment of the principal St Mary’s Hospital building in Upper Byron Place.

Empiric’s 52-bed development at New Walk in Leicester is expected to complete later this month as planned, in time for the forthcoming academic year 2020/21.

While the market had fallen, Empiric said it was beginning to see an increase in requests for self-contained studios and en-suite accommodation as a result of the current social distancing measures in place in the UK.

Earlier this month, the UK’s leading student accommodation specialist Unite announced it had delayed a 900-bed scheme near Aldgate in London and a 416-bed scheme in Bristol being delivered by contractor RG Group halted.

The decision was in preparation for a £125m expected revenue hit on student rents during the coronavirus crisis.

Jordan Ayew goal wipes the smile off face of Tyrone Mings as Crystal Palace defeat Aston Villa 

Jordan Ayew goal wipes the smile off the face of England, the new boy Tyrone Mings, while Crystal Palace won controversial victory over Aston Villa

Crystal Palace bought Tyrone Mings back to the earth after his England call

Mings thought he was duped when he was first informed by the FA

Jordan Ayew defeated the defender to score the only goal in the win over Aston Villa

The 26-year-old, however, led by example after Villa had fallen to 10 men

by Adam Shergold for the Daily Mail

Published: 22:30 BST, 1 September 2019 | Updated: 22:30 BST, September 1, 2019

There must be some top-class joke makers in the world of football. It seems that every time he is called up in England for the first time, a player is notified by text message or phone call, automatically assuming that one of his fellow pros is winding him up.

Tyrone Mings was no exception when his phone buzzed last week "I received a text message from the English player liaison officer, Emily," said the Aston Villa mid-half.

"I texted & # 39; back and said & # 39; Oh s *** & # 39; she then called me and said: & # 39; I'm not kidding & # 39; when I talked to her, I knew she was serious. & # 39;

Crystal Palace bought the Tyrone Mings from Aston Villa back to Earth after his call to England

MATCH FACTS

Crystal Palace (-4-2-2): Guaita 6; Ward 6.5, Kelly 6.5 (Sakho 79min), Cahill 6.5, Van Aanholt 6.5; McArthur 7, Kouyate 7, Milivojevic 7.5, Schlupp 8 (Townsend 84); Zaha 6.5, Ayew 7.5 (Benteke 86) Subs not used: Hennessey, McCarthy , Meyer, Camarasa.

Manager: Roy Hodgson 7.

Scorer: Ayew 73.

Booked: Milivojevic, Kouyate.

Aston Villa (4-1-4-1): Heaton 7.5; Guilbert 6, English 6, Mings 6.5, Taylor 6; Douglas Luiz 5 (Hourihane 71, 6); McGinn 5, Grealish 5, Jota 6 (Davis 59, 5), Trezeguet 4; Wesley 5 (Lansbury 85). Subs not used: Steer, Konsa, El Ghazi, Elmohamady, Davis.

Manager: Dean Smith 6.

Booked: Douglas Luiz, Taylor, Guilbert, Trezeguet, Grealish.

Sent: Trezeguet 54.

Referee: Kevin Friend 5.

Attendance: 25,248.

Mings' reaction is a reflection of how he has been in football and in life. The 26-year-old lived in a homeless shelter for a while while he was in elementary school and spent his teenage years pulling pints in a Chippenham pub before working as a mortgage adviser.

Mings was released by Southampton at the age of 16 and worked his way up from non-League games for Yate Town and Chippenham before being noticed by Ipswich. In Bournemouth, Mings made only 10 Premier League starts in four seasons, suffering from terrible knee straps and back injuries.

It was only since he appeared on loan to Villa in January that he appeared on Gareth Southgate & # 39; s radar on England.

But football is in the habit of bringing you back to Earth and after last week's call, Mings had a tough afternoon at Crystal Palace.

Jordan Ayew swept him aside to score the decisive goal, although the defender was out of balance by a ricochet from Jack Grealish and stretched out in an arm trying to stop the palace attacker.

However, Mings won many aerial battles in Selhurst Park when Palace besieged after Trezeguet broadcasts.

Ayew swept Mings aside to score the decisive goal in a close encounter in Selhurst Park

Villas & # 39; s 10 men might have thrown away an undeserved point if Grealish was not bizarre punished for diving while setting up Henri Lansbury for what looked like an 96 equalizer minutes.

A player polishing his England credentials with a series of saves was Villa keeper Tom Heaton.

He can see himself playing alongside Mings for club and country. & # 39; Tyrone has been absolutely excellent, & # 39; said Heaton. & # 39; Gareth has shown that you get your chance when you play in the Premier League. This is another marker for that. & # 39;

Kors’ affinity for fashion started when he was very young. His mother thought his affinity might have been caused in part by his exposure to the apparel industry through her modeling career.  Michael, at the age of five, even redesigned his mother’s wedding dress for her second marriage.  As a teen, Kors began designing clothes and selling them out of his parents’ basement, which he renamed the Iron Butterfly.  Kors also took acting lessons when he was young, but stopped when he was 14 when he decided to focus on becoming a fashion designer.

In 1977, he enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.  However, he dropped out after only nine months and took a job at a boutique called Lothar’s across from Bergdorf Goodman on 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, where he started as a salesperson and went on to become both the designer and visual display head for the store. Shortly after, Dawn Mello, the fashion director at Bergdorf’s, discovered Kors. She asked if he would show his collection to Bergdorf Goodman’s buyers.

In 1981, Kors launched his Michael Kors women’s label at Bergdorf Goodman. In 1990, the company launched KORS Michael Kors as a licensee. A Chapter 11 filing in 1993, caused by the closure of the licensing partner for KORS Michael Kors, forced him to put the KORS line on hold. He managed to get back on his feet by 1997 and launched a lower priced line and at the same time was named the first women’s ready-to-wear designer for French house Celine.  In his tenure at Celine, Kors turned the fashion house around with successful accessories and a critically acclaimed ready-to-wear line. Kors left Celine in October 2003 to concentrate on his own brand. Kors launched his menswear line in 2002.

The MICHAEL Michael Kors line was launched in 2004, joining the original Michael Kors Collection label. The MICHAEL Michael Kors line includes women’s handbags and shoes as well as women’s ready-to-wear apparel. As of the end of the first fiscal quarter in 2016, Kors has over 770 Lifestyle stores around the world. Currently, Kors has Collection boutiques in New York, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, Chicago, Miami and Southampton. In the U.S, his women’s runway collection, labeled Michael Kors Collection, is sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and numerous specialty stores. Michael Kors Collection is also carried at the brand’s stores in London, Paris, Cannes, Milan, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Seoul. The year 2016 marked the 35th anniversary of Kors’ business.

Among the celebrities who have worn Kors’ designs are Olivia Wilde, Dakota Johnson, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, Kate Middleton, Hillary Clinton, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Heidi Klum, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Michelle Obama wore a black sleeveless dress from the designer for her first term official portrait as First Lady and later sported Kors again at the 2015 State of the Union address.  Viola Davis wore a custom Michael Kors Collection gown when accepting a Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a motion picture for her role in Fences. Kate Hudson and Olivia Wilde both wore gowns by the designer to the 2016 Golden Globes, and Emily Blunt, nominated for her role in Into The Woods, wore a white custom gown by the designer in 2015. Joan Allen wore his gown when she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Contender. As creative director of Celine, Kors designed many outfits for actresses to wear on screen, including Gwyneth Paltrow in Possession; and Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair.  One of his gowns was worn by Alicia Keys for her performance at Barack Obama’s inaugural ball on January 21, 2013.

The ad campaigns for Kors, shot by Mario Testino, often reflect the jet-set sportswear that his fans like. Previous campaigns include the model Carmen Kass on a safari in Africa and relaxing on a yacht. More recent campaigns feature models Joan Smalls and Freja Beha-Erichsen living the jet set lifestyle.

Kors was a judge on the Emmy-nominated reality television program Project Runway, which aired on Bravo for five seasons; subsequent seasons aired on Lifetime. On December 18, 2012, it was announced that Kors would be leaving Project Runway, to be replaced by fellow designer Zac Posen.

In January 2014, Forbes reported that Kors reached a personal fortune in excess of $1 billion. Michael Kors Holdings had already “minted two billionaires”: Silas Chou and Lawrence Stroll.
