Charlton Athletic v Bristol Rovers Match Preview
By Simon Gray
The start of the new season is finally here and after a hectic summer for both sides, Charlton host Bristol Rovers at the Valley on the opening day.
Rovers head into the match with news both on and off the pitch in recent days with the club introducing the signings of Ryan Sweeney, who returns to the club on loan from Stoke, alongside his teammate in the Midlands, Dominic Telford.
The two new signings go straight into the matchday squad to play Charlton this weekend.
But news also broke this week that the much-anticipated UWE Stadium deal had fallen through with the club prepared to explore other options. The proposed stadium had been in the pipeline for 10 years but has always had obstacles to climb.
However, that is not to say that Rovers will have a new stadium on the horizon someday, but for now, they will be remaining at the Memorial Stadium for the foreseeable future.
On the season ahead, manager Darrell Clarke told the club's website: "At the end of the day it's not about the first game of the season, it's a 46 league campaign season.
"We drew against Grimsby in my first year as a manager here, then we got beat by Northampton at home, 1-0 and a lot was said after the first game then and then last season we got beat by Scunthorpe 3-1 but we've had three very successful seasons."
As said before, Rovers will have both Ryan Sweeney and Dominic Telford available for the match, as well as summer recruits Sam Slocombe, Adam Smith, Tom Broadbent, Marc Bola, Liam Sercombe and Tom Nichols.
Charlton host Rovers at the Valley with new recruits of their own. The Addicks had a poor season last term but strengthened this summer with the signings of Billy Clarke and Mark Marshall from Bradford, Jay Da Silva and Ben Amos on loan, Tariqe Fosu from Reading and most recently manager Karl Robinson raided his former club MK Dons for playmaker Ben Reeves.
Having recruited strongly this summer, manager Karl Robinson spoke to the club's website concerning this weekend's fixture.
"I know my starting XI and I will tell the players on Friday morning. I knew it after watching three games of Bristol Rovers'.
"It's important that we get it right, if we do have an injury within the group then we will keep that internal until the weekend.
"Hopefully the players that come in will perform to the best of their abilities as well."
Both matches between the two sides last season ended in Charlton victories, 5-1 at the Memorial Stadium before a 4-1 win at the Valley.
Both sides were beaten on the opening day of the 2016/17 season, Charlton lost 2-0 to Bury whilst Rovers lost 3-1 to Scunthorpe.
Rovers have not beaten Charlton away from home since March 1958.
21, Bristol Rovers fan for as long as i can remember. Highlight has to be to 06/07 Play Off win. Seen Rovers at 43/92 clubs in England and counting.

Nescafé, a leader and pioneering brand for 75 years decided to reclaim its know-how of the coffee experience with a new brand baseline 'It all starts with a Nescafé' which highlights the opportunities that can be triggered by or around a cup of Nescafé. Through this repositioning, the brand wishes to consolidate its competitive advantage on the market, as well as to enhance its iconic potential across all touch points. CBA gave life to this signature by redefining all the identity system of the brand.
The new VIS needs to call on the multiple experiences that Nescafé has to offer, and should unlock its love brand dimension: it's all about sharing moments, finding inspiration, triggering new opportunities… This evolution is deeply strategic for Nescafé: it acts as a cultural shift in the brand image management, leaving a product brand approach to adopt a 'master brand' vision. The new system allows a graphic flexibility within a consistent frame.
This is the very first time Nescafé empowers itself with a coherent identity system, which is immediately recognizable and leans on 3 complementary visual markers, which act as coffee experience revelations.
The final accent of Nescafé takes off as a red sign, and evokes the daily inspiration that is transmitted by Nescafé to its consumers.
CBA also created an impactful blockmark: a hub (a view from the top of the mug) symbolizes an open window onto Nescafé®'s universe. The graphic system, supported by graphic guidelines and in-store signage displays is implemented progressively on packaging and each range of Nescafé® products all over the world by CBA agencies.

Indian industry seeks cutting edge IT solutions from vendorsAugust 17th, 2008 - 11:54 am ICT by IANS
By Madhusree Chatterjee
New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) As businesses in India log higher growth figures, companies are falling back on independent service vendors to deliver more specialized IT solutions that can slash costs to a minimum and provide quick benefits of scale, especially in the bullish mid-market segment which is steering the industry's growth story. These solutions take care of the company's need for information technology (IT) networking, tallest software, day-to-day administrative services and outsourcing needs.
"After a long period of under-investing in their information technology infrastructure and keeping most things like security and costs in-house in a do-it-yourself culture, Indian companies have suddenly realised the need to leverage the Web as a channel to expand their businesses rapidly," said Sumeet Sabharwal, managing director of Navisite India, a global organization which provides IT hosting, outsourcing and professional services to medium to large organizations.
This has led to the evolution of new infrastructure management models that encompass a growing number of managed devices in complex environments spread across multiple locations.
"As a result, the ability to remotely manage equipment is becoming a top priority," Sabharwal told IANS.
His company, which has 900 businesses on its clients' roster, is promoting two new cutting-edge IT solutions in the mid-level industrial segment - the Remote Infrastructure Management Services (RIMS), and the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.
According to industry experts, SaaS and RIM are the hottest industrial solutions in the IT market today.
"We leverage independent industry standards like SaaS 70 Type II (a certified SaaS model) and BS 7799 to drive a common framework-based implementation of these policies and back the efforts through third party certification against these standards," Sabharwal said.
SaaS is a model where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers over the Internet. It eliminates the need to install and run the application on the customers' own computer and reduces his burden of software maintenance.
Customers, on their part, relinquish control over software versions or changing requirements. Using this technology can reduce the upfront expense of software purchases.
Remote Infrastructure Management Services, often billed as the key to business growth, is a dedicated helpdesk service wherein specialists diagnose IT problems in real time with the user with remote modern management techniques. Customers walk the paces of basic trouble-shooting with remote guidance from the IT helpdesk. It also provides remote state-of-the-art technology solutions, saving time and money.
Remote infrastructure management, says a Nasscom and Mckinsey study, is expected to become a $15-billion dollar industry in the next five years.
A study by Springboard Research, a leading player in the IT sector, says the Indian SaaS market is expected grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 77 percent over 2006-2010 to reach $165 million at the end of the four-year term.
In an attempt to ensure efficient application delivery models, businesses are undergoing a transformation from traditional tools to cloud computing and SaaS models, the study said.
"Companies need tools to meet the demands of the businesses and customers. Time-to-develop solutions are also decreasing today and customers are expecting higher functionality at lower TCO (total cost of ownership). None of these targets can be effective without efficient infrastructure," said Ramesh Shastri, managing director of US-based SpikeSource (India), an open source technology firm.
According to Atul Kumar, vice-president (SaaS Operations) of Serena Software, the IT department does not need to maintain systems such as marketing, sales and human resource with the application of SaaS technology. It frees valuable resources for mission critical applications and projects, he said.
SaaS vendors, Independent Software Vendors (solutions providers), telecom and hosting providers are coming together to create a powerful SaaS ecosystem that will accelerate adoption of technology in Asia, the Springboard study said.
Explaining the rationale behind the growing need for specialized IT solutions in Indian industry, Sabharwal said in most companies, IT infrastructure cannot keep pace with the demands; thereby driving them to look for an outsourced infrastructure model.
The models, the technocrat said, are becoming increasingly on-demand which implies that businesses pay for what they need and have an assurance that they can scale up quickly as their needs grow.
"The phenomenon has gained ground over the last five years. Large outsourcing deals like the one between Bharti Tele Ventures and IBM have acted as a catalyst for other companies contemplating the same move," he said.
The rapid growth of the Indian economy has also acted to make outsourcing more acceptable.
And solutions are becoming more sophisticated with the entry of large global players like IBM making bigger investments in India and traditional offshore IT players like Tata Infotech, Wipro and HCL turning their attention to the Indian markets.

Sandra had had a very strange dream that night, but the sun said hello to her when she opened the curtains of her bedroom the morning after. In her dream, she had seen a person she had not met in years. He was a boy with dark curly hair and big blue eyes. She greeted him swiftly and touched his wet hair.
"Why it's always raining on you, in my dreams?"
"Because you don't love me, Sandra – had said the boy in a gloomy voice, while she was caressing his forehead – and this breaks my heart."
"Oh silly boy, sure I love you! – she had smiled on the tips of her lips – You're my little prince, remember David?"
"I am not little and I am not a prince – he had gently grabbed her fingers in his hand – I am a man, a dark knight, an obscure sorcerer. I am here to take you away under my dark cape, to take you and never leave you…"
His voice had broken. She had shushed him with a finger on his lips, which were trembling.
"Sandra, would you grant me a kiss? Only one."
She had removed her finger from his mouth and he had come closer to her. She had smiled, welcoming the boy in her open arms and when their faces had been real close, she had kissed him on his forehead. The boy had sighted and melted away in rain drops which smelled like white lilies. Sandra had bathed herself in the rain that had been her friend.
"Your rain is so fresh, David."
She had said towards the sky, realising in that moment that she was naked. Then she had walked away from the rainy forest, which was her old friend, along a lush green path. One step after the other the vegetation had become less and less luxuriant until it had completely disappeared and the path was arid and spare. A harsh hot wind was lashing on her bare skin, burning her eyes, when Sandra had awakened.
Her husband was not there. Probably, he had awakened hours before, right at dawn, and had gone out on his morning running along the river. Probably, he had come to bed while she was deep asleep. He used to tell Sandra that she had the sleep of a lethargic bear and the same snoring.
Without a worry in her heart, Sandra left the window to start her daily routine. First, a cold shower, after that a quick choice of clothes, then a good breakfast and, last but not least, a bicycle ride to town to do the daily groceries. Sandra had always loved cold water in the shower and fresh food on the table. She took her cotton nightgown off with a rapid graceful gesture and jumped in the shower singing under her breath. Cold water on her broad back, a spurt of scented bath foam on a sponge and Sandra was back again in her dream. The same feeling of shadowed glee cooled down her high spirits. On autopilot, she stopped brushing her golden skin, closed the shower tap and stretched out one arm to search for the towel. She rubbed herself in the towel like she used to every morning but she couldn't find the same simple pleasure as always in the rough touch of the dry cotton towel on her cold skin. Instead, she smelt the scent of lilies of the shower gel on her skin and felt even gloomier than before. It was a strange sweet pain she had never felt in her life.
She left the bathroom to change herself, wondering what was happening to her. Roberto, her husband, would not have been home until noon. Her son, Marco, was probably deep asleep in his bed. She didn't want to wake him up for such a stupid thing. She didn't even know herself what was going on. She reached the bed, still to be done, to sit down and caught a glance of herself in the wardrobe mirror.
Her sad eyes made her think about David's gloomy look in her dream and she reached the mirror. Lightly, she touched the cool surface with her fingertips, caressing the reflection of her own face.
"Why are you so sad?"
Said Sandra looking at the mirror, unsure if she was talking to herself or to David. On the other side of the river, in the last house on the road, her niece Nadia was talking about David with her grandma.
"It might be difficult to stay away from him if he truly is the new doctor like you are suggesting, nana."
"Oh, you are big and strong. You'll do just fine."
"I don't know, nana. I feel like if a big, spirited army of streptococcus little fellas was trying to invade me. I can clearly feel their war tambourins hitting me here and there. They go like this."
She started to smash the ship biscuits in her bowl in tempo, throwing crumbles and drops of milk everywhere.
"Stop! Stop! Do not play with food in my kitchen! – Said her granny, not really angry – You make a joke of everything. Ah!"
She used her immaculate apron to dry the milk spilt on the table.
"Oh, nana!"
"Why? Why don't you listen to me and why do you joke about everything?"
She kept on cleaning the table with her apron.
"Because tears ruin my beautiful eyes."
Answered Nadia with her mouth full of smashed biscuits and milk.
Her little granny shook her white head.
"Let me hear, what should you cry about?"
"First of all, I am seriously ill and you don't let me see the doctor."
"You are as ill as a female cat in spring."
"Nonetheless, I am in pain and he is my only hope to regain happiness."
"I was not born from love."
"What are you blabbering about?"
"My parents never loved each other, therefore, they don't love me. No one truly loves me."
She suddenly brought her hand to her forehead in a melodramatic gesture that sent other crumbs and milk around the kitchen.
"Stop this nonsense. You are very much loved. Even if your parents didn't love you, wich is not the case, here you have me and I love you for three."
That said she grabbed her granddaughter's head and she planted a loud kiss on her forehead.
"Oh nanny, you are so sweet – she caressed her nanny's hands – so do I have your blessing?"
"Only if you leave the doctor alone!"
The granny ruffled Nadia's hair before releasing her head.
"My hair! I have only my hair, don't ruin it!"
"He's too old for you!"
"He doesn't look old – she finished her bowl of milk and biscuits and stood up to carry it to the sink – he's… perfect."
"Oh, please!"
"He is! – Said the girl, opening the tap to fill the dirty bowl with hot water – I mean, to me. I have a crush on him since I was nine! He's pale, he has dark hair and those eyes! So blue and so… big! And he's so cool, always at ease and kinda moody."
"Like a cat."
The cat has shown his majestic person at the kitchen door at that precise moment, only to look up at the two women with supreme disdain and leave.
"Close the faucet."
"Yes, madam."
Nadia did as told and reached for her school satchel. She wore it across her body and then brushed her straight hair with her fingers. Her granny came closer to her.
"How it was that you met the doctor' son the first time?"
"I told you, I was little. I was doing grocery with aunty Sandra. At that time, mother used to leave me with her rather often. He hasn't changed at all from that day. I had a sudden crush on him. I remember that he seemed to be happy and sad at the same time, that day."
"Of course, you were with Sandra."
"What does it mean? It's not like they could be former lovers or something."
Her granny shushed her abruptly and pointed at her with a nubby finger.
"Ok! I promise not to chase the doctor – her granny nodded – but what if it's the doctor who chases me?"
"I'm afraid this could hardly happen."
"Mm, I won't be so sure if I were you. I read his cards, the guy was rather impressed by your beaut…"
The nubby finger of the old woman rose even closer to the girl's face.
"You stop immediately."
Her voice was scarily steady. The girl gulped.
"I only did a round of cards, like you taught me. It's not that I am a witch or something – she giggled uneasily – I am not doing anything, now. I swear."
"Don't swear. Never."
Then the old lady smiled and her scaring fixity was gone. The girl smiled back and the two went to the main door.
"Should I await you for lunch?"
"Nana, you packed me a bag. Don't you remember? For me and Denise? To eat together in the woods? We have traced another place that could have been the den of the Roaming Witch."
"It's always in the Northern Woods?"
"About there."
"You are not going to explore the Red House, are you?"
"What? No, no. That shitty place is Marco's business."
"Don't say that. I told you, never say bad things about your family. It's the only one you have."
"I know, I know. Sorry, nana."
She kissed her granny on cheeks thin as paper and left. The cat scratched himself against the legs of the old lady.
"She's gone. Do you think she's gonna end up in deep trouble?"
"Who cares. I can't stand your children. Never have."
Said the cat.

Businesses today operate in an ever-evolving legal and regulatory environment. Consequently, different stakeholders in a business, such as customers, shareholders and regulators, can cause disruption as they exercise their perceived right to recover or make an example of an individual or entity.
Whether any legal action or investigation into the affairs of an individual or entity has merit or not, it has the potential to cause financial hardship for an individual or a business. Therefore, it is good risk management practice to have comprehensive liability insurance in place to lower or transfer this risk.
Our Liability team is an industry-leading team of underwriters providing responsive insurance solutions to a wide range of New Zealand businesses, from private start-ups to listed entities, across a variety of industries and professions.
Whether financial loss arises from provision of professional services, or from supplying a product or managing staff, our suite of insurance solutions can cover the costs of meeting court judgments or out of court settlements, as well as the legal costs of investigating and defending a claim. In addition, each policy solution has several extensions available covering a range of other potential financial losses such as fines and penalties, reparation orders, fraud, personal injury claims that are not covered by ACC, regulatory investigations (e.g. WorksafeNZ) and much more.

The first medical sorority in the Philippines and in Asia.
An unbroken line of over a thousand lady doctors from the University of the Philippines Manila.
Last Thursday, August 25, the Mu Sigma Phi Fraternity and Sorority held their pioneer photography and publicity making workshop, PubMed 2016: Capturing Moments One Click at a Time. The event was formally started off with a rousing speech by Brod Earnest de la Cruz ΜΣΦ'19. The first speaker of the night was Mr. Dale Sta. Rosa, a professional photographer from Forever Framed. He enlightened and apprised the audience with the basic tips and tricks of his trade. Armed with new knowledge about photography such as leading lines and the rule of thirds, the audience got a glimpse of the view through a photographer's eyes.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits that Arsenal were dealt a reality check upon losing to lowly QPR, a team are in the thick of a relegation battle at the bottom of the table.
While the gunners had much of the ball in the match, Wenger feels that it wasn't really efficient or threatening, as Arsenal never really got creative considering the amount of ball they had.
Wenger is quoted as saying on the official Arsenal.com website:
It is difficult to explain because we prepared as usual. Maybe we sensed it would be easier than usual and once you have that in your heads it is difficult to come back to reality.
We got a reality check. I just believe that our performance was not at the level we have recently produced.
I feel we did not create enough with the time we had on the ball. It was all visual but not really efficient. It is disappointing to lose a game like this.
If you do not win you at least want to make a draw, you do not make the mistakes we made. We have some time to recover now and produce a decent performance [against Manchester City] on Sunday.
After suffering their first defeat in eight Premier League outings, Wenger has issued a warning to upcoming opponents Manchester City that they will not have the luxury of facing the same Arsenal side.

- Reports: Arsenal Have Three Candidates For New Top Job – But Monchi Is The Favourite
Drawing heart from Arsenal's previous similar experiences this season, Wenger is hopeful that Arsenal can bounce-back yet again to upset the title contenders.
Wenger is quoted as saying to reporters by Goal.com:
It's a good opportunity to put things right again, of course.
I believe that we will see a different Arsenal on Sunday but I can tell you as well that it will be needed.
We have played well against the top teams and that is our target again. We know how to respond, as we have been exposed to this situation before this season.
I've said many times we have to stay humble and focused and I feel that the focus was missing a little bit.
You cannot lose the game in the way we did. They take the ball, they put it in the top corner, you accept it.
But the way we gave the ball away, I felt we lacked something and we cannot deny that.
To put it bluntly, the usual solid Vermaelen had the worst performance of his season last weekend being producing two critical mistakes which led to both QPR goals. If we are to win he will have to perform at his usual best alongside Koscielny, along with our whole back five. Furthermore hopefully the likes of Rosicky and Song are able to create some attacking spark in the front third of the pitch for Arsenal talisman Robin van Persie to feed off! The likes of Joe Hart and Vincent Kompany won't be able to be unlocked easily.

YANGON - A group of women dressed in green sarong-like longyis and simple white blouses stand around a table piled with census forms entering neat notations on spread sheets by hand.
The women will have to go through 37,579 family census forms in the next 24 hours, according to officials, using hand calculators to tally the total numbers because they have no access to computers.
The scene underscores the challenges of carrying out a census in this poor and sprawling nation dominated by Buddhists.
The census - the first in three decades - has long been mired in controversy, much of it concerning the counting of Rohingya, Muslims who lives in western Rakhine state and often described by the United Nations as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.
Officials say some 100,000 school teachers have fanned out across Myanmar on foot collecting data for the census, expected to count from 48 million to 65 million citizens.
On the final day of the census, estimated by rights groups and other groups to cost $74 million, volunteers went door-to-door in Yangon, Myanmar's commercial capital.
Trucks with loudspeakers blared reminders for people to be counted and shops, buildings, ferries and buses were plastered with posters encouraging people to take part.
Susu Win, a volunteer tallying numbers in Yangon, said she worked 12 hours a day and interviewed, on average, 100 families. "The biggest problem is that we had to climb eight, nine floors in four to five buildings a day with no elevators," she said.
Rights organisations and ethnic groups in Myanmar have called for the census to be postponed until it can be carried out fairly and safely.
The government had promised international sponsors that ethnic groups could choose their classification.
But a day before the census kicked off, presidential spokesman Ye Htut indicated that use of the term Rohingya would be prohibited.
In Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine state, Buddhists protested against the use of the term Rohingya, saying it would give them legitimacy.
The government describes the Rohingya as Bengalis and says many are illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh.

There are many creative ways to avoid a DUI conviction. One is to not drive after you drink. However, if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being pulled over under suspicion of drunk driving, this is a DUI arrest case of what not to do. Don't make junior take the wheel.
According to a report from CBS Austin, Hector Villarreal, age 53 of Austin Texas, did just that. He asked his passenger to drive. Villarreal decided that the best option was to change seats, and let someone who was not drunk be in the driver's seat when he was pulled over (since he knew he was going to be pulled over).
Mr. Villarreal's problem was that his passenger was his 15-year-old son. No, Mr. Villarreal is not going to win any "Father of the Year" competitions, but apparently, he did teach his son to tell the truth. So upon questioning, the child informed the police that his father was the driver up to the point they were going to be pulled over. According to the report, "the teenager told the police his father was driving from Round Rock when he saw the patrol car and ask him to get behind the wheel and start driving." [1]
DUI Arrest Case
Needless to say, after 3 or more prior Driving While Intoxicated convictions, Mr. Villarreal is facing Felony DUI charges in Texas. The nearly empty bottle of Jim Beam in his pocket will not help his case either.
Now, the "learning moment" of this story, is that you should not drink and drive, and if you do, don't let your honest 15-year-old son behind the wheel.
According to the report, Villarreal admitted to taking medication prior to the incident. Don't say, "I took a bunch of pills before I started driving." That is not a defense, and it does nothing to help your case. Don't make up a story, just remain silent. The police hate that, but it really can benefit your case.

Thirsty Writer, Libations Marketer
For many of us, the relationship with the bartender at our favorite restaurant is paramount. He or she often greets us by name, asks about our day, and pours us a welcome drink. A bartender is like good host – introducing fellow guests, sharing the latest gossip, and making sure everyone is having a great time. Perhaps this is why – for most of us – snagging a bar seat for dinner trumps a table any day of the week.
So who are the North Shore's most dazzling bartenders? We flip sides and find out a bit more about four of our favorites; they make mean conversation and shake quite a cocktail.
Who: Brett Henderson, The Poynt in Newburyport
Signature Cocktail:
2 oz. Beet Infused* Bully Boy Vodka
½ oz. Fruit Lab Organic Ginger Liqueur
¼ oz. House Ginger Simple Syrup**
¾ Fresh Lemon Juice
Combine all ingredients in shaker filled with ice – Shake vigorously – strain into cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist
* Peel one beet (size of a baseball) and cut into cubes. Add beets to vodka and cover. Store in refrigerator for 3 days. Strain out beets and funnel beet vodka back into bottle. Keep refrigerated or the color will oxidize to a brown color.

This lesson looks at how to write an IELTS conclusion paragraph for an opinion essay given below. Before you practice the conclusion, make sure you have completed the other lessons for this topic:
Every one of us should become a vegetarian because eating meat can cause serious health problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
An IELTS conclusion paragraph should summarise the main opinion that you gave in your opinion essay – both in the introduction and the body paragraphs. The conclusion repeats the main points in brief and maintains your position.
This is the introduction for this essay: Eating meat is considered by some to damage our health and for that reason they believe all people should adopt a vegetarian diet. In my opinion, although a vegetarian diet is certainly a healthy option, having a balanced diet, which contains vegetables and some healthy meat, is the key.
The above introduction explains the main points and the position of this essay. Now you must restate the main points again for your conclusion paragraph. Use the tips below to help you.
Tips for an IELTS Conclusion Paragraph
- Paraphrase the main points introduced in your introduction
- Don't put new main points in your conclusion
- Don't change your opinion in the conclusion
- Don't write over 40 words
- You can write either one or two sentences
- Can you have a concluding statement which is a predicting if you wish
Write your conclusion before you check the model. Model Conclusion
To conclude, by balancing mainly vegetables with fish or chicken, people will be able to adapt to a healthier diet more easily rather than become vegetarian. If people are educated about eating healthily, there will be less health problems in the future.

What you need to know
When doing any type of real estate business in Dubai, investors need to be up-to-date with relation to the changes and new regulatory requirements concerning property transactions in the Emirate. This website shall keep all new information posted on "latest News and Updates".
The Real Estate Regulatory Agency has implemented the transitional process to fully regulate the property industry. Ultimately, this process shall lead to a safer, more secure property investment environment. Our aim is to ensure all investors are protected and have confidence in their decision to invest in Dubai.
During this period of transition, some issues shall emerge. Investors are asked to bring their concerns to RERA along with their documentation and if necessary, seek RERA intervention to alleviate any concerns.
The Government of Dubai as well as the private sector of property developers and real estate industry brokers and agents, are strongly supportive of the RERA's progress and the direction that RERA is steering the industry. The fact that the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) is less than 12 months old, gives an indication of the strength, collective knowledge, experience and courage of RERA to get the job done with little disruption to the market.
It is expected that once RERA's strategies are fully implemented and the industry has adjusted to the new practices, the Buyers and Sellers in Dubai shall benefit from RERA's sound and well planned approach to ensure fair and transparent property transactions in Dubai.
If you are a Seller in Dubai and are contemplating the sale of your property, RERA offer to you a number of points for consideration and to assist you prepare in advance.
There are a number of option available to you
- List with a Local Registered Broker office Registered Agent
- Use other representation (beware see notes below)
- Undertake the process yourself and sell privately
- Take the property to Auction (a method of sale)
Our team of consultants have decades of experience in the international property market giving them excellent local market knowledge and strong relationships with the major developers, Investors and other well established Agencies. Through our network of contacts we will sell your property for you.
Listing with a registered broker
When listing with a registered broker, it will be beneficial to read the brokers section in this website. We have covered the registration process so that consumers can see that RERA do vet the applications and are working to ensure that no unacceptable people are able to able to operate in the industry. In addition, we have noted many pointers in the section a good agent for you as the consumer to open your mind about whom you are contemplating dealing with as your elected agent.
When listing your property, there are 3 types of Agent's appointment
- Open Listed which means that you list the property with 1 or more agents and you can if you wish, sell the property yourself and the agent's commission is payable only to the agent who completes the transaction. It is recommended that you don't appoint any more than 3 agents, otherwise none of them will sell it and the Buyer will look for the cheapest thus you get less money.
- Sole Agent you can appoint only one (1) agent and still you may sell the property yourself, however if you do sell it yourself then you do not owe the agent a fee.
- Exclusive Agent this is when you appoint an exclusive agent to totally look after the sale process. Even if you find a willing buyer, you will have to refer them to your exclusive agent whilst you have a current agreement.
It should be noted that if an agent introduces a Buyer, and you later deal with them direct without the Agent, then the Agent may apply to RERA to claim their loss of fee and costs if it be proven that the Buyer was introduced by the Agent and the two parties left the Agent out of the transaction. Both Buyers and Sellers are also expected to be trustworthy.
Use Other representation
In Dubai, freelancers are a thing of the past. They are highly illegal and buyers and sellers are advised NOT TO DEAL WITH THEM. Ask to see official borker ID before proceeding with any agent. Other representation could be a cousin, son, daughter or friend. If you use these people, do be aware that any person advertising, marketing or in discussion about a property transaction other than the owner of the property, is breaking the law unless he/she has a registered Power of Attorney in the UAE acceptable format in your name approving of their involvement.
Always bear in mind that if something goes wrong - This is as we remind people, your single greatest investment in your life.
Private Sale
This can be done but is often not advised for the feint hearted. You do need to be prepared. The property must be ready. That is well presented so that a buyer will want to buy. You need to think about advertising and the cost. Then when the phone rings, you then have to sift through so many that are only lookers and not serious buyers. This can be very exasperating and very frustrating.
Once you have found the buyer, then comes the negotiating process and the paperwork. This is not easy. If all the essential documents and paperwork is not in order the property transfer may not be possible on the final day of settlement of the transaction. When banks are involved for mortgage discharge or an application for finance for the property, this is another serious consideration and can be rather complex. If you are contemplating selling privately, it is highly recommended that you use a lawyer for the legal aspects. Dubai property market is not the same as in days gone by, and what was a simple transaction in the past, is certainly not the case now.
Two very simple and powerful words for Buyers who want to buy privately Buyers Beware!
Never pass money to anyone if you do not have absolute proof of their ownership, authority to do the transaction and if you have any doubts. When you get a "sick" feeling in your stomach when handing monies over, this is usually to forewarn you of danger in what your doing. This is your intuition speaking to you, so listen to it please.
Do not deal with an unregistered broker or agent, always ask for their Brokers Registration card. When speaking with a Seller, ask for the documents to prove that they own the property. Ask for a copy of their passport and match the signatures. If the property is in two or more names, all of these parties must sign the sale agreement in full.
Buyers should use a Buyer's Agent. Please refer to RERA website in the Brokers web pages, there is a list of the Registered Brokers. DO have your finance fully "pre-approved: before you commence looking for a property.
When buying "off-the-plan" only pay into a RERA approved trust account. The cheque and receipt must read in the name of the project. If you pay your monies into the developer, agent, or any other account, the person or company you are dealing with is breaking the law. PROTECT yourself and seek advise before proceeding. It is not as easy as you think.
Costs Buyers must take into account
- 4% - transfer fee to Land Department + AED540 title deed fee - managers cheque in name of seller
- 3% - Agency fee to Broker (some charge 2%) - managers cheque in name of Real Estate Company
- AED4,000 - Transfer agency fee - cash on day of transfer
- AED5,000 - NOC from developer - Cheque or cash to developer when NOC applied for. Prices may vary from developer.
Financing a property has become the norm here in Dubai. However there is an absolute maze of different packages available to property investors. Your first step toward securing finance is preparation and comparisons to select the right bank and the right financing option for you.
Don't be shy, look around, look at the bank and their reputation, their service, and their quality of property financing products. You are after all, buying money. Speak to as many property lenders and ask the right questions to all and compare the answers.
Ask for a breakdown of the costs involved and most important, make sure they commit to the timeframe for approval once you submit the contract when you have selected and secured your property subject to and conditional upon finance.
In very simple terms, there are two primary or preliminary assessments that the property financiers undertake before approving finance.
Firstly a property financier will look at the applicant (the person/s). They will examine your credit history and your credit rating. If you have had bad credit history or have not paid a past debt, you may well have a problem. So do ensure you have settled all outstanding old debts before you apply. The bank will also look at your ability to save monies (i.e. your budget control), your income level and they, assess the stability of your employment and your income which determines your ability to re-pay in the long term. As a guideline, your mortgage repayment should only be about 35% of your net income. Don't over commit yourself, you will end up regretting and this is a fast way to compromise your standard of living. Your deposit or rather the level of your own funds you have to contribute, will heavily influence your borrowing capacity.
Secondly, the property financer will look closely at the property to ensure their monies are not at risk. This often means that the lender will require a professional property valuation on the property which represents the bulk of the cost of finance to the borrower. Each financier will have differing charges for valuations
When the bank engages the professional to value the property, they are assessing the bank's risk in lending the monies. The loan amount approval is linked to the value of the property as the banks in most circumstances will only permit 70% or 80% or sometimes up to 90% of the value of the property. If you have paid too much for the property and signed a contract to buy subject to finance approval, then the loan will be rejected as the bank's investment with you and the property will be high risk, sometimes too high. This is the reason why when you sell a property, you cannot oversell it when the buyer requires finance. Another interesting point, the whole process can be a little stressful if the bank delays in processing the loan application. Therefore, from the onset, ask for a list of all documents required, keep a copy yourself, and ask the Bank to sign that they have received all that they have asked for, in the event one document goes astray, you have proof you have submitted and also a copy.
Your contract original must be given to the Bank. The dates and milestones to be achieved as the contract takes it's natural course, should be noted to the Bank, if using an Agent, ask them to write a letter for you and give a copy to your bank, so the Bank is fully aware of the dates you need to advise the Seller of the finance approval. If you have obtained pre-finance approval and have a letter from your Bank stating the same, then the whole process is actually easier and smoother, as the Bank is prepared, you are prepared, and you allow for this in the contract in the time commitment to gain the formal approval for the loan. You and the Bank also need to agree on how long it will take once the loan has been approved, till they are ready to draw the loan amount ready for settlement. Therefore, make sure there is sufficient time to complete the transaction and keep checking with the Bank. When using an Agent, they can be very helpful at this point. The Buyer's Agent has had lots of experience and generally keeps good contact with the loan provider if you permit. The mortgage industry here in Dubai has grown considerably over the past few years. The loan process, the range of mortgage packages and the finance companies ability to process and complete applications shall be second to none in the world providing the borrower submits all the necessary documents required on time and with the new Standard Contract and Real Estate practices in place. Purchasing property in Dubai shall be easier in the new regulated environment. RERA will be hosting for finance companies and property finance institutions, workshops on the new standard contract, how it works and help familiarize all finance institutions, with adapting to the changes. Interested finance people should visit our Workshops, Seminars and Events page to see the workshop timetables.

Cloud-Based vSearch Mobile Empowers Corporate Employees, Customers and Partners to Seamlessly Access Critical Rich Media Content on the Go
CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2010) - Altus, a leader in enterprise video search solutions for sales enablement and knowledge sharing, today announced the release of vSearch Mobile™, the first SaaS-based video solution to store, manage and make fully searchable -- to the exact point of interest -- rich media generated from virtually any source. vSearch Mobile is optimized for today's leading mobile devices, including iPad™, iPhone™, BlackBerry™, and Android™ handsets. Building on the mobile nature of today's workforce and the video capabilities of handheld devices, vSearch Mobile helps companies organize and share time-critical corporate knowledge, and allows their users to access that knowledge, faster and more conveniently than ever before.
Using vSearch, an organization can rapidly build a cloud-based knowledge portal, make the portal a single, centralized repository for corporate presentations and rich media content of all kinds, and enable 24x7 access to files on the portal from anywhere in the world. Unlike other approaches to the knowledge-access challenge, vSearch not only reduces information retrieval times dramatically -- allowing a user to locate an exact word or phrase in a narrated 10,000-word presentation in seconds -- but provides access to that information from the popular mobile devices that corporate users rely on in distributed, telecommuting or other mobile work environments.
Information for a Mobile Workforce
"For the first time, corporate knowledge shared verbally in any setting can be captured from any system, stored centrally in the vSearch cloud, and made searchable to the point of interest and reusable on any device including smartphones, tablets and notebook or desktop computers," said Ted Cocheu, CEO of Altus. "Users can spend their time using the new-found information in their work, eliminating hours of fruitless searches and lost productivity."
"Sales costs will continue to outpace revenue growth in 2010, driving the need for sales organizations to increase their productivity," said Michael Gerard, Vice President of International Data Corporation's (IDC) Sales Advisory Practice. "This need for greater sales productivity, coupled with the convergence of mobile devices, video capabilities and cloud computing, creates 'the perfect storm' for Altus, and the mobile capability enables users of iPad, Droid and other devices to view and search rich media down to the spoken word."
vSearch Mobile arrives at a time when the mobile workforce is reaching critical mass, noted Cocheu. In February 2009, developer Research in Motion announced reaching the 50-million-unit sales mark for the BlackBerry, and Apple reports sales of 33.75 million Apple iPhones to date. Researchers at IDC predict a workforce of over one billion mobile web users by the end of 2010. "To paraphrase a popular sentiment, 'mobile is the new desktop,'" said Cocheu. "Knowledge access and retrieval today are critical anytime, anywhere and any way people need them, and developers whose products and services do not encompass the needs of the mobile worker will miss out on the most dynamic trend in workforce decentralization in years."
Desktop-Like Functionality on Tablets
With vSearch Mobile, information access on tablet devices such as the Apple iPad or the soon-to-be-announced Google Android-powered tablets provides a user experience identical to that on a desktop or laptop computer. vSearch Mobile is video-optimized for the large screen size of these devices, providing simplified on-the-go access and searchability of videos, documents, blogs and communities. Mobile users of tablets can create and collaborate on presentations and then store them on their vSearch-based information portal for later retrieval. A tablet device is also the ideal user interface for vSearch Mobile users who may wish to combine, or "mash up," videos and then store them on their information portal.
vSearch Mobile is SaaS-based software (Software as a Service) and is available now. For sales information, contact Altus Learning Systems at (408) 355-9357. For general information, contact Altus Learning Systems at (408) 395-9154 or at www.altuscorp.com.

FOXA2 also named as HNF 3 beta or TCF3B is a 457 amino acid protein, which contains one fork-head DNA-binding domains. FOXA2 can Shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner. Phosphorylation on FOXA2 Thr-156 abolishes binding to target promoters and subsequent transcription activation upon insulin stimulation. FOXA2 as a transcription factor involves in embryonic development, establishment of tissue-specific gene expression and regulation of gene expression in differentiated tissues. The molecular weight of FOXA2 is 48kDa, but the phosphorylated FOXA2 may be a 55-65kDa protein.

I haven't posted lately because I've been so busy with preparations for The (Very) Physical Comedy Institute, which starts in eight days (three student slots still available!), but here's a short treat in the meantime. It's a sweet dance number from My Sister Eileen (1955), choreographed by the great Bob Fosse, performed by Fosse (in the white shirt) and Tommy Rall, and filled with physical comedy vocabulary. Enjoy!
