Student goalkeeper shines in KNVB Cup as amateur Barendrecht stun NAC BredaGet Belgian and Dutch Football NewsOctober 31, 2024 at 3:33 PM UTC·1 min readFurther drama in the KNVB Beker’s First Round this week saw Tweede Divisie side BVV Barendrecht beat NAC Breda 2-1 Wouter Vermeer opened the scoring for the amateur hosts eight minutes in before Lars Mol restored parity in the second half the 50th-minute goal was a mere false hope as the brave hosts notched a last-minute winner with Brent Vogts While the party lasted until late into the night for the rest of the squad Gomes admittedly had

Bakker Barendrecht has started construction on a new centre for fresh fruit and vegetables in Ridderkerk the state-of-the-art building will apply the latest technological innovations for fresh fruit and vegetables in warehousing This will include the use of mechanisation in warehousing and meal-kit production and renewed production lines for specialist fruit categories such as grapes The site will also have the largest ripening centre in Europe at the forefront of product specialisation and process innovation,” Bakker Barendrecht stated “Supplying the best quality tasty and healthy fruit and vegetables to its strategic partners Albert Heijn Located next to the existing Laurierweg site the centre will cover an area of no less than 55,600m2 and will be occupied in phases from mid-2026 “Bakker Barendrecht has been working closely with Albert Heijn as a strategic partner for 65 years,” said Maarten van Hamburg ”Bakker also has a long-standing strategic partnership with Delhaize in Belgium and Albert in the Czech Republic ”Through these long-term partnerships with our customers and our growers we deliver the best quality fresh fruit and vegetables to more than 10mn consumers every day,” he outlined ”With the construction of the new fresh food centre at Dutch Fresh Port in Ridderkerk and can respond even better to the growing demand for tasty and healthy fruit and vegetables together we are making an impact on tomorrow’s food,” van Hamburg added Site powered by Webvision Cloud More attention to AI and another plea for hybrid education According to Party Front party leader Storm Barendrecht these are the most important points of contention in the run-up to the elections for the University Council Because ‘study time is not only meant for studying.’ ‘The developments in the field of AI are happening very quickly and it is striking that the university paints a negative picture of these new applications Many teachers are afraid that students are using AI for some form of plagiarism Front wants more attention to be paid to the use of AI applications in education ‘Because there are also positive sides to the use of AI We would like to explore the possibilities of such applications in the coming year And we want the provision of information about AI to be broadened so that students are better informed about what is allowed and what is not allowed We would like students to be able to choose for themselves whether they follow a lecture physically or watch a recording of that lecture at a time of their choice It is almost election time on campus again students choose who represents them in the participation councils of Tilburg University In the run-up to the election week, Univers publishes interviews with the party leaders of the participation parties ‘Hybrid learning has a number of advantages students can watch the lecture and use it as a reference book it is not always possible to be physically present on campus because they are attending training courses or meetings We believe that study time is not only intended for study extra-curricular activities are also of paramount importance to us Front wants to explore the possibilities that exist outside the current range of study places in the university library and in other buildings We are looking at whether we can offer a digital platform so that students can get a better insight into the current occupancy rate That way it remains attractive to come to campus to study there.’ ‘Social safety is an important theme these days Front has ensured that confidential counsellors are trained at student associations Each association now has two confidential advisors so that the threshold for students to tell their story if they have a problem is lowered Another example that responds to this are the so-called ‘safe spaces’ during carnival in collaboration with the municipality of Tilburg extracurricular activities in addition to their studies are very important That is why Front has committed itself to recognition in the form of a certificate for student board members You receive this certificate at the end of your board year so that it also has a recognized value.’ ‘We think it is important that students orientate themselves broadly This can be done by becoming a member of an association Because that way you learn other social skills and make new contacts you increase your chances of getting a job after your studies a vote for Front is a vote for a party that is committed to the recognition of extracurricular activities.’ and I am currently in the second year of my bachelor’s degree in public administration I was already active in Study Association Juribes This year I became a member of the rowing club Vidar and I am a member of the women’s fraternity Luna I did a committee year at the Top Week last year I can recommend it to everyone to get active ‘Now I am looking for a professional challenge This position as party leader for Front fits in very well with my studies in public administration I would like to get enough votes and get a seat so that I can also participate in the discussion next year and represent the active student in a university council.’ Meld je aan voor de nieuwsbrief van Univers Vragen, opmerkingen of tips?

A new tab should have opened. Click here if not. the year is going well both personally and professionally I’ve been able to do a bit of travel this year on the personal side and WiredScore has been off to a really strong start I think our team feels like it’s firing on all cylinders it feels like there are signs that the macro market has an uptick of energy which is also good news for everyone in the space It’s been just over ten years since you launched WiredScore and how do you feel about what you’ve accomplished in that time but it also passed by in a blink of an eye It’s fun to hit milestones like a ten-year anniversary you’re not doing a ton of that; you’re looking ahead 99 percent of the time We now have over 4,000 buildings around the world that we have certified through our two products We also work with over 1,000 companies and have over 1,500 WiredScore accredited professionals who are folks that we partner with to help sell and deliver our certifications I’m really proud of where we’ve come from and what we’ve accomplished The metric we use internally that gets us the most excited is distilling down our certified building footprint into people we’ve impacted Humans working or living in the buildings that we have certified through WiredScore and SmartScore we used a formula to do that in terms of density but we estimate that over 8 million people work or live in WiredScore buildings and that is our North Star because we get really excited about our opportunity to impact the built environment and make buildings better If we’ve helped 8 million people be in better buildings then that’s something to be especially proud of you partnered with then Mayor Bloomberg and New York City’s Economic Development Corporation What was it like partnering with the city and working with Mayor Bloomberg Mayor Bloomberg had a great reputation obviously but especially with the real estate community in New York The partnership brought immediate credibility to WiredScore which is really important because landlords are risk averse They want to work with partners with staying power It’s especially true of a standards company It also created a bit of a shared mission between WiredScore and the city and landlords and everyone involved the shared mission being that we’re all working together to make New York City an attractive place to sign a lease and to locate your company Having more transparency about the best-connected buildings was a good way to attract and retain innovative companies in the city That was a big part of Bloomberg’s mission to try to create a rival to Silicon Valley and I think he did a really good job of that And I’d like to think our partnership in New York being the first city in the world to have a rating system for connectivity was a small but important part of his overarching initiative to make NYC a global tech hub.How did that partnership come about We partnered with the Economic Development Corporation [EDC] and shared the idea of this rating system The partnership was formalized through a proposal process and we responded to an RFP to be the partner in creating and rolling out the initiative One of the things the EDC did after we became formal partners much better than I would have been able to do on my own We had representatives from the Department of Buildings and Department of Information Technology I had Rudin Management on my initial advisory committee as I was creating the early version of WiredScore to a bunch of smart brains to help create the best platform possible What’s the latest product your company has been working on The thing we’re spending a lot of time on is something we launched last year Which is a version of our certification that we partner with landlords on when 70 percent of their portfolios are certified or more than 70 percent We arm landlords with special tools and a platform for tracking the state of connectivity and smart technology across all of their assets as well as benchmark data on what the rest of the data has from a technology capabilities perspective What’s interesting about WiredScore portfolio is that it’s reflective of a big trend in building tech which is it’s increasingly moving from asset by asset strategies to a centralized technology strategy for large building portfolios We’re seeing the creation of smart buildings teams within real estate organizations and a real centralization of responsibility to have technology plans for the next 5 or 10 years to modernize assets And WiredScore Portfolio is our way to sort of shepherd that centralization and make sure we’re being helpful to companies that are taking that approach It’s striking how a lot of buildings have outdated infrastructure that can be very costly to update and how many owners were not aware of the need to update Do you think that level of awareness has changed over the last several years a questionnaire that landlords could take on our website to sort of run a self-assessment of your building’s connectivity without us having gone inside the building to inspect and validate They literally couldn’t fill out the questionnaire because they didn’t understand which service providers were in their buildings with which type of service and so on I do think awareness has shifted over the last decade I think the reason for that is an acceptance of responsibility from the perspective of the landlord most landlords believed that digital infrastructure was a tenant’s responsibility The landlord would provide the box and hand the keys over Which was a high friction sort of attitude because a lot of that equipment a lot of the stuff that powers connectivity in our offices So there was a lot of sort of butting of heads when it came to that mindset Although there are still a lot of question marks now with the advent of smart building technology and connected building systems there’s still this friction between users of buildings and owners of buildings as to responsibility for who should be deploying the technology Who gets the data that connected systems produce But landlords definitely accept more responsibility today Because without landlords putting in those technology foundations there’s really nothing tenants can do in their spaces meaningfully to deliver great connectivity and smart technology to their employees has the bar started to get raised for connectivity in buildings and will you have to move the goalposts or add more certifications over time to reflect that upward shift and it gets raised for two reasons: advancement in technology and evolution of tenant expectations we didn’t have mobile signal strength in our scorecards and the expectation that your cell phone should work anywhere in the building there’s way more pressure in 2024 than in 2013 to support mobile signals throughout the building So we evolve our scorecards every two years and we think that’s a really important function for us to play because in moving that goalpost it’s our way to tell the industry what’s next The other thing we’ve done is we’ve created a second certification which I mentioned earlier called SmartScore SmartScore focuses on the full breadth of building systems that impact operating efficiency and tenant experience we toss the term smart buildings around quite a bit but the industry is very far from meeting our definition of what a smart building is what’s the competitive landscape like right now We are proudly the only digital connectivity certification in the world There are a few other smart building certifications out there but we are about 20 times larger in footprint than our next closest competitor as a smart building certification I think it’s important to think about how there’s a lot of value in having a single Because when there are multiple standards for the same thing there’s a lot of confusion between the ecosystem—landlords and tenants and brokers and architects and engineers—and we view it as our responsibility to be the global leading standard to ensure that the industry has a clear line of sight into a single way of measuring things Most proptech companies don’t go to 40 countries around the world because it’s really hard But when Hines develops a building we want them to be able to follow WiredScore and SmartScore standards whether that’s in New York or Mumbai or Hong Kong and that makes things a lot easier on landlords and developers Do you want to continue growing geographically in the future We aspire to be fully global and eventually be in every country in the world but we won’t be hiring WiredScore teammates on the ground in every country What supports our international expansion is this network of WiredScore accredited professionals people that we partner with to help deliver services The other thing we aspire to do is expand across asset classes we work with office buildings and multifamily buildings there should be a WiredScore or SmartScore available for hotels I get calls and texts that airplanes need WiredScores and coffee shops need WiredScores—we’re not quite there yet Have you traveled to all the countries you’ve expanded into but my wife and dog would prefer that I am not on the road that much Do you still feel the same way about the city as you did when you first moved here I do have that sort of cliche feeling every time I’m driving across a bridge from LaGuardia or JFK back into the city where you sort of look into the skyline and feel like there’s no better place to be But I am a Southern Californian by childhood and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I look at the weather app on my phone at Manhattan Beach probably every other day and think what life might be like on that side of the country as well or are you sticking to your Southern Californian teams but this year has had frustrating ups and downs that means often my basketball viewing starts at 10 pm Eastern I might get sucked into the third or fourth quarter which is not always the best for my sleep schedule What do you think you would be if you hadn’t created WiredScore It’s funny; it’s a good transition from your last question I think the job I envy the most and would love to do someday still is to be a basketball coach I spend a lot of time doing it from the couch defensive strategies that the Lakers should be rolling out as I look back to the most influential people in my life many of those people have been coaches and Basketball teams are pretty small compared to other sports and your coach has sort of an outsized influence on who you are as a human being in critical times in your life I feel like being able to have that impact in the future and stick close to a sport that I love is pretty cool Have you thought about doing an intramural league with WiredScore I do play in what they call an old man league at the moment with some of my friends We have rented a basketball gym for WiredScore before

judge briefly acknowledged that some of the victims’ parents were in the courtroom who sometimes do not even know that they are involved in a crime The man himself spoke at the end of the hearing “I have hidden the worst part of me for years I hope that is the best I can do for the victims and their loved ones.” The case came to light in September when two girls having a sleepover with the man’s children woke up unexpectedly while he was sexually abusing them. The girls told their parents, who went to the police. The Barendrecht man turned himself in a short time later and, to the police’s surprise, immediately started confessing one crime after another The man confessed to sexually abusing 19 children But further investigation revealed more victims The man will be admitted to the Pieter Baan Center for psychological and psychiatric evaluation as soon as possible AGF-Online has been growing various products from German soil innovating remains a must," says Angèlique van der Meij "When my father started Van der Mey-Barendrecht we made a tentative start in 2001 with two pallets of spring onions they proudly arrived in Barendrecht at 03.00 at night cars unload all day long because the space in Barendrecht is too limited for these quantities We also have several departure times scheduled in Germany so customers can order until late morning or early afternoon Those who order earlier can load earlier the other day the vacuum coolers can keep up more easily." we are developing a plant protection product against mildew organically Mildew didn't always go completely well in the past much too humid spring "We have also been feeding German carrots for years The carrots in De Pfalz have a fantastic flavour due to the greasy clay soil Smooth drainage and controlled groundwater levels are therefore of enormous importance which are slightly lighter than the 12'ers and therefore a bit easier to flowpack the cask and transport costs are obviously lower "Celery and radishes can of course be packed in all kinds of ways The marketing of German parsley is also improving but gently there is a growing realisation that they are tougher and tastier," Angèlique continues we are carefully driving up the first pumpkins Next week we will also be very ample in kohlrabi And as the Maths teacher always concluded at Mavo: Don't ask how it can be done For more information:Jordi Roessen and Angèlique van der MeijAGF-OnlineWhatsApp: +31 6 - 59 88 65 16 [email protected] Entrepreneur® and its related marks are registered trademarks of Entrepreneur Media LLC We'll be in your inbox every morning Monday-Saturday with all the day’s top business news best advice and exclusive reporting from Entrepreneur Home/Coal Sex crime suspect Mels van B. (45) from Barendrecht may also have drugged the children that he abused. The investigation team who is investigating the large sex crime case is currently investigating these clues, De Telegraaf reported based on information from sources more and more parents are reporting to the police Van B. has said that he abused 19 children Some were five or six years old when the severe abuse took place Most of them were friends of the man’s own children Many of the children were members of the same water polo club This also happened at the primary school that one of the suspect’s children attended The suspect was caught after two children woke up while he was taking advantage of them. The two told their parents, who then went to the police to press charges. Van B. turned himself in to the police on September 10 A Large-Scale Investigation Team of 20 detectives The Telegraaf understands that even the most experienced investigators have been shocked by the case “We think that the 19 are just the tip of the iceberg More and more parents are reporting to the police because they now know that their child also slept at the suspect’s house The suspect has been confronted with these claims,” said a source to the Telegraaf An investigation into allegations of extensive sexual abuse of children at the hands of a single man in Barendrecht is currently focused on 19 minor-aged victims The suspect has acknowledged the abuse of these victims and has been questioned about "indecent acts" involving each of the children the Public Prosecution Service (OM) confirmed in an update issued on Tuesday Investigators do not believe the abuse involves more victims The child victims are "mainly at the end of primary school age," with students in the Netherlands often leaving primary school around 11 or 12 years of age News of the abuse first surfaced a few days after the 45-year-old suspect was arrested on September 10 but few details were released in the days that followed The suspect was identified by the Telegraaf as Mels van B The newspaper's sources said that many of the victims were houseguests who participated in activities with his children He emerged as a suspect after a victim pressed charges against him and he later turned himself in at a police station Authorities searched the man's home in the Zuid-Holland town south of Rotterdam but they also carried out searches at a campsite in Hoeven The OM confirmed in its update that the man "regularly stayed" at this location Evidence seized included mobile phones and data storage devices The OM did not state the nature or frequency of the abuse It also did not reveal biographical details about the victims The OM and the police did not want to go public with more details immediately after the arrest because they needed an opportunity to discuss the situation with the victims' parents police launched a wide-scale investigation to determine what crimes took place Aside from the searches of his home and the campsite the police also interrogated the man at several different times "There are currently no indications that there are more victims," the OM stated and neighbors living near the Barendrecht residence have either refused to comment or have had little to say Everyone will see that," said Barendrecht Mayor Ronald Schneider "I can well imagine that people who hear or read about this think "We can well understand the concern of and impact on local residents," the OM said on Tuesday "A sex crimes case is drastic and impactful for the victims and their loved ones the police and the Public Prosecution Service can conduct the investigation he was remanded into custody late last week by an examining magistrate A court hearing on September 26 will determine if his pre-trial detention can be extended by up to 90 days A 45-year-old man from Barendrecht is in custody for sexually assaulting multiple children.
