? The 18-year-old Dubai-born racer completed a 2-day test in both a T1 and T1+ race car, the highest category of rally raid racing, in cooperation with Red-Lined International, a South African T1 Vehicle Manufacturer

? Aliyyah to participate in a number of races in the 2023 South African Rally Raid Championship, currently one of the most competitive series in the world

? FIA Middle East Cup for Cross-Country Bajas a preparation at the end of the year for the 2024 Dakar in a T1+

The test was run in cooperation with Red-Lined International, a South African Rally Raid vehicle manufacturer, giving Aliyyah her first taste of the premium category of rally raid racing. It was a big step up from the T3, the race car that Aliyyah had driven in her first Dakar Rally earlier this year, finishing 33rd in her category.

Impressive first steps

Aliyyah Koloc: “I tested the T1 and T1+ last month in South Africa. Overall, it went really well. It is a great race car to drive and really fast. Within off-road, I had never driven a car as fast as this before. It is also bigger and heavier and thus very different in handling to the T3, in particular the control of the weight, power, and gear selection. It was a little overwhelming at first and took me some time to get used to. I would like to thank Terence Marsh, the Red-Lined CEO, who really helped me through the process of understanding how the race car works. I honestly can’t wait to drive them again.”

Aliyyah, who is driving in the 24h GT endurance series as well as the FIA Middle East Cup for Cross-Country Bajas and the W2RC World Rally Raid Championship, will also participate in some races of the 2023 South African Rally Raid Championship, one of the most competitive rally raid series in the world. The test was a good preparation for her first rally raid event in South Africa, scheduled for May, where she will start in a T1 for the first time. For her second rally raid event in August, she is scheduled to drive in a T1+ for the first time. Together with the Middle East Baja events at the end of the year, Aliyyah will have gained some solid experience in preparation for the 2024 Dakar that she is planning to enter in the highest category, the T1+ class, competing with the likes of Carlos Sainz, Sebastien Loeb, and Nasser Al-Attiyah.

Martin Koloc: “Aliyyah learns really quickly. On the first day of testing, she was a little hesitant but on day 2 it was like she had never driven anything else. Great performance! The strategic partnership between Red-Lined and Buggyra opens up a new chapter for us in terms of global presence. We have jointly agreed that Aliyyah will be our official junior development factory driver for the upcoming season and we are really excited to get everything underway. We will be doing some more testing to give her more seat time to prepare her for her ultimate goal, participation in the Dakar in the top tier T1+ class.”

Terence Marsh, Red-Lined CEO: “Aliyyah is an incredible talent, just 18 years old and already making the transition from the T3 to the T1 premium category. From Red Lined’s point of view, it is really exciting to have Aliyyah on the team and as part of our youth development strategy. She has an immense amount of talent and is extremely focused. The driver assessment and training sessions were really impressive and we are really looking forward to the journey and challenges that lie ahead of us.”

Racing in the South African Championship in a T1 and T1+

The first race of the 2023 South African Rally-Raid Championship for Aliyyah will be in May, and it will be her first time racing in a T1 car. At the end of May another private test session is scheduled for Namibia in a T1+ before Aliyyah takes on her second rally raid event in South Africa in August, this time scheduled to be in a T1+.

Thereafter, the T1+ will be shipped to the Middle East for Aliyyah to continue with her Dakar and dune preparations in the FIA Middle East Cup for Cross-Country Bajas.

As Aliyyah sums up her experience: “I am extremely fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to be able to move to the highest level of Rally Raid racing and I am really looking forward to what the future holds.”

The company’s latest educational drive sheds light on the importance of school chaplains in both private and public schools. The NSCA believes that having a chaplain in residence diminishes incidents of violence, increases school safety, and improves the students’ and teachers’ mental health.

For more information, visit https://nationalschoolchaplainassociation.org/about

The proposed bill, S.B 763, permits schools to hire school chaplains as guidance counselors, explains the NSCA. Funding for the said project will come from funds allocated for school safety and doesn’t take away from existing programs related to the security of the schools and their students. The effective date for the bill is September 1, 2023.

Supporting this initiative, the NSCA is working hard to secure funding for school chaplains in Texas. They aim to put a chaplain in every school to bring prayer and spirituality back into the community, as many studies show the benefits of having a solid spiritual or religious foundation, including, but not limited to, better mental health, more respect for authority, and improved relationships with others.

From experience, the NSCA knows that chaplains create a safe space for students to access support, understanding, and guidance. This can be about school, family, relationships–anything weighing heavily on their hearts and minds, explains the organization. NSCA chaplains are trained to guide students with prayer and scripture, even those who are not Christians. The association’s goal is not to convert students or to accept Catholics or Christians only, but to teach universal values like love, respect, harmony, and obedience.

“The National School Chaplain Association was established to promote school chaplains as legitimate and necessary members of school staff through national standards and certification. Trained and licensed chaplains provide counsel, education, advocacy, life improvement skills, and recovery training,” a spokesperson said.

With the latest update, the NSCA continues on its mission to promote wider public awareness of the positive role of chaplains in academic environments.

In late 2022, Centivo surveyed almost 400 employers and benefits brokers to understand their health plan priorities and perceptions. The survey results show that almost everyone in both groups agrees the healthcare industry needs an overhaul, with 94% of employers and 91% of brokers sharing this view. Yet healthcare costs continue to rise while engagement declines. Only a third of employers and a quarter of brokers agree entirely that employees have access to the healthcare they need.

The survey found that employers are willing to innovate and are open to new, sustainable solutions to combat rising healthcare costs. Most employers are willing to adopt innovative health plan approaches, with 34% considering themselves first to adopt new ideas and 39% to be early adopters. However, brokers are more likely to categorize employers as early-to-late adopters. Eighty-seven percent of brokers surveyed said they wish their clients were more open to innovative ideas. Therefore, there is a disconnect between employers’ hunger for new ideas and brokers who may not bring these ideas to the table.

While employers prioritize employee-focused factors, such as improving the health and well-being of employees and making it easy for employees to engage with their health plans, brokers prioritize reducing costs for the organization and offering quality networks/providers. However, both employers and brokers agree primary care plays a critical role in improving health and cost control and that behavioral health benefits and pharmacy costs are the highest trends on the radar for both groups.

In conclusion, the survey results show employers are ready to innovate and open to new ideas to combat rising healthcare costs. Brokers must be more proactive in presenting innovative solutions and bridging the gap between employers and healthcare providers. It’s time for a health plan innovation conversation to improve healthcare access, control costs, and improve the well-being of employees.

Following the recent announcement, Office Leasing Broker Mitch Waldman of Cogent Realty Advisors represented Lone Star Capital throughout the process, finding an upmarket location that met the quality specifications discussed with the client.

More information can be found at https://rentnyoffice.com/one-world-trade-center-lease-by-lone-star-capital/

The new case study explains that Lone Star Capital is a fast-growing real estate investment firm that owns and operates over 2,500 multifamily properties throughout Texas. They contacted Cogent Realty Advisors in 2022 with a view to creating a Manhattan base – but had strict requirements for their location.

The real estate brokerage firm worked closely with Lone Star Capital to understand their specific needs and requirements, and to identify the most suitable properties for their business. During the property search process, numerous options were considered and inspected. However, it was ultimately decided that One World Trade Center was the best fit for Lone Star Capital. It is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and a landmark of the New York City skyline.

“Cogent identified and inspected several high-quality Class A buildings with executives from LSCRE,” said a company spokesperson. “However, only One World Trade Center provided a world-famous address, five-star rated modern building, and luxurious office space. Cogent negotiated a lease for a 4,156 rentable square foot unit on the 47th floor with spectacular views of midtown Manhattan and the Hudson River.”

One World Trade Center features 3.1 million square feet of office space, 55,000 square feet of retail space, and 20,000 square feet of amenities, combining to create one of the most sought-after locations in Manhattan.

The spokesperson added: “The prebuilt office included a marble tiled reception area, conference and huddle rooms, 3 executive offices, an open area for workstations, a pantry, and an IT closet.”
