Television investigation
Posted by Micro Update Ltd on January 15, 2007
15Jan07:-Dear Les
Thank you so much for the information. I hope you do not mind but I thought it only appropriate that the senior echelon of TDC were included in this response, as you will recall the correspondence that transpired between myself and the TDC Head of Planning, Mr Robinson.
I hope that the television investigation draws to the attention of the wider public the problems associated in the decision making process when due consideration to public opinion is not taken seriously. When those District Councillors originally involved in the 1998 CLS planning decision failed to give appropriate attention to the environmental surroundings and to the Aller Park residents, who lived with their inappropriate decision.
I hope reference is made to the public meeting that was held, requested in the face of residents' outrage. To the senior planning officer who failed to discharge his duties and then lied to the Investigating Team and, in order to protect his position, attempted to blame his secretary for the problem. Even though I made representation to the previous Chief Executive, he did not have the necessary determination to sack this officer when his deceit became known, preferring to let a resignation be the means of termination.
I hope the television investigation highlights the dogged determination shown by yourself and those other Aller Park residents, who have always be the conscious of TDC in respect of CLS.
For any recipients of this e-mail who consider my comments to be defamatory or inappropriate, the telephone number of the Standards Board for England is 0845 078 8181. I will be only too delighted to go head to head on this issue.
Kindest regards,
Roger Mewis
The fortunate Councillor who represents Milber Ward

ITV programme team arrived in Aller Park
Posted by Micro Update Ltd on January 10, 2007
10Jan07:- ITV programme team arrived in Aller Park to make a programme for "Tonight with Trevor McDonald". The Blot drew their attention as the type of miscreant that can severely de-value a residential property, and thereby also affect its' Council Tax Banding.
The whole day was taken up with filming from Aller Park Road, and inteviews with Mr. and Mrs. Johns (who 'enjoy' a full frontal view of The Blot from their home), Councillor Gordon Hook, and a Property Valuer. As a hardened TV reporting team they "had their breath sucked out of them" when confronted face on with The Blot – finding it incomprehensible how any Authority could permit such a pollution of green space.
The Valuer inspected properties opposite the laundry and confirmed a substantial deprecation of the selling price. The programme is scheduled to be broadcast 26th January at 20:00 on ITV1. The production team promised to confirm this date with us closer to the time.

First, all those childhood memories from when I first saw it. Was it really 1968, or a bit later? Whatever the case, I was a teenager coming to the end of a sci-fi infatuation. Despite moving on, we took for granted that by 2001 there would be moon bases, expeditions to Mars, and that space would be normalised.
Clarke and Kubrick tried so hard to make it as accurate as possible, and the wonderful HAL's legacy has a whole lot of stories about that. The most remarkable is of the two of them visiting Bell Labs and
The late 60s and 70s were a golden age for American film: 2001, Nashville, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the Deer Hunter, and it's impossible to imagine that something like 2001 could be made now. Why?
First the speed of the thing: it's slow – with little dialogue – but the sound is so carefully done. Heavy breathing when Dave is in the spacesuit, some isolated conversations … and the music is only played on its own: you hear the music, and see how it works with the visuals: it's emphatically not used simply to pump up the adrenaline.
Then the visuals: remember then no one had even seen the earth from the moon ("earth rise") when the film was made: it is mattes and models, but even though it's not photorealistic, it works. Way before CGI, but just as good!
HAL, as Stork suggests, is the real star of the film … one big brain, of course, and no PCs, but less anachronistic now ("internet of things") than it was in 2001 itself.
And the actors? No famous lead players, but good old British character actors: Leonard Rossiter – Reggie Perrin – and Margaret Tyzack – Forsyte Saga – who also appears in A Clockwork Orange.
Of course, some things are "wrong": there are no PCs, for instance, but the most noticeable is the prominent PAN AM logo on the space shuttle: Kubrick and Clarke were good on the science, but less on the economics …

The following illustrated proof for the relatively easy
Tough Sudoku of June 16, 2009 serves as a reasonably
good example of the power of one type of relatively simple Sudoku solving technique. This particular Sudoku
solving strategy, tip or trick is sometimes referred to in Sudoku forums as the W Wing. This blog discusses
this strategy numerous times, albeit under a different name. I previously have referred to this technique as
a very common Y wing style. It is disussed in some detail on the
Y Wing Styles page.
If this is your first visit to this blog, welcome! Unfortunately, if you are a first time visitor, this page may seem
like it is written in a different language. Well, it is!! Previous blog pages may be helpful. Links to these pages are
found to the right, under Sudoku Techniques. The earliest posts are at the bottom, and if you have never perused
the intricacies of our special coded language here, you may wish to start close to beginning.
In some of the illustrations, more than one step is shown at once. This reflects an attempt to shorten the page. However, it
may contribute to some confusion. Hopefully, the confusion is managable.
For those whom do not wish to struggle through the illustrations, I have written the steps
taken in this proof at the bottom of the page in sudoku.com.au notation.
Two Unique Possibilities (UPs) are available here.
Below, two steps are shown. Step 2a in column b and box b5 is a very easy step:
Above, the fact that d123 is devoid of (5) as a possibility creates a grouped bilocal condition with
candidate (5) both between boxes e5&e8 in column d and between columns e&f within box e2. I illustrated the
latter above, although either one will do for the deduction:
Below, again two steps are shown.
Since candidate 9 is now limited to ef1 in row 1, we have another W Wing, this time using bilocal (9).
Below, the same two cells considered in step 2b are part of another W Wing
The W Wing could be written:
Of some minor interest, (59)e9 and (59)f4 are remote pairs.
Below, yet another W Wing, this time using some new information
(23)e5, (23)d3 are key to search for a bi-local link with either candidate 2 or 3. There is a grouped
link in column f, and a simple bilocal link in row 8. The latter is shown as:
Below, there are many ways to finish this puzzle. One could use a Unique Loop with candidates
(59)at ef1, df4, de9. One could eventually use a BUG +2. ETC. The short chain illustrated below also suffices.
Above, find:

The Nexus 5 is not getting LTE in some markets. There isn't anything wrong with your device. It is a network problem associated with the LTE / NV upgrade. Read this outstanding article. It provides all of the explanation you'll ever need: http://s4gru.com/index.php?%2Fblog%2F1%2Fentry-357-nexus-5-and-lg-g2-experience-temporary-sprint-lte...
It would be fantastic if Sprint could officially respond to this article and give some insight into when we might expect the situation to be resolved in the various affected markets.
Yes, it would be nice if they could respond. (insert crickets chirping)
storreypdx, I like you am getting tired of the terrible service in Portland, OR too 😕 the fact my Nexus 5 is stuck on 3G constantly because they have left half the market running legacy 3G is beyond unreasonable. I'm pretty certain if we get a response it is just going to be a canned message asking for our cross streets or telling us it takes a long time to upgrade their network. Funny they told me last year that we would be seeing solid service in Portland by 2014.
Hey benjamin.kerensa
Thank you for reaching out. I know that asking you this info is not what you want to hear but I would like to check out the area so if you could please provide the info. We can get to the bottom of this.
Speak with you soon
Social Care
I live at NE 78th and NE Glisan in Portland, OR 97213. The trouble is not isolated to there though like other commenters have suggested the service is pretty terrible city wide and honestly it got worse last summer when the Network Vision upgrades were underway. Back then we had slow but somewhat reliable 3G. Now we have pockets of LTE in various areas that is slow and 3G that is slow and often not working at all.
Sprint sent a tech to do a driveby and confirmed these issues months ago and even gave me a 25% discount for a year and promised me they would finish upgrading towers by 2014. Well its now 2014 and I have dealt with terrible service and Sprint has not come through while competitors (AT&T and T-Mobile are offering to buy out contracts right now)
So unless I get a solid answer as to when service is going to improve I'm either going to take that offer from a competitor like many Sprint customers are doing or wait till my contract ends in a few months and move over.
We shouldn't have to wait years for reliable service and get vague canned messages about continuing upgrades. Give me some solid info on whats going on and why eCSFB is not supported in Portland, OR and when I can expect to get LTE on my Nexus 5.
Thank you very much for that information. I checked the location you provided and show that a service tower is currently down for maintance. Our technicians are working as quickly as possible to get this resolved in a timely manner.
Regarding your question as to when upgrades will be complete in your area. I wish I could provide you with a specific timeline however because so many factors have to be in place before work can even begin a date can not be given.
Sprint Social Care
Thanks for the post. How has your device been while on LTE? Have you had the chance to get it connected?
Sprint Social Care
In order to get LTE at all on the Nexus 5 I have to go into the phone's testing menu using *#*#4636#*#* and manually switch it to LTE only. Of course when I do that, I cannot receive calls. I have tested LTE using this method a while ago and was able to get the same LTE speeds I used to get with my EVO 4G LTE. The EVO 4G LTE has SVLTE (Simultaneous Voice and LTE (Long Term Evolution)) though whereas the Nexus 5 does not. The Nexus 5 as you may recall is a tri-band phone that relies on eCFSB. Unfortunately Portland, OR towers don't have eCFSB enabled so I all I can get is 3G by default.
well, they're scared to death to push the envelope over there -
that you've **plugged that blog** let me ask you;
[inappropriate link removed]
everyone that has read it, is now aware of WHAT'S going on,
**but why stop there?**
it would be very self defeative in mindset, to believe there's nothing more to understand than WHAT'S happened, no further than that..
what usually follows that school of thought, is, *there's nothing i can do about* in-line with the blog..
to follow that line of thinking, would have one believe lg placed faulty handsets (that DON'T operate as they were designed) out on the market on a perfect sprint network (that operates as it SHOULD) - but we know that's not the case;
on that site, i have it opened in another tab - it states;
"To provide a forum for discussion and education about wireless spectrum, networks, and Sprint Network Vision, in particular, in an online community that is mature, intelligent, and free from uncritical negativity."
The mission statement is very important to us, because it is the foundation for which all rules and guidelines stem from. S4GRU endeavors to maintain the mission statement as our core philosophy and only consider rules and actions in context within the mission statement.
~if that's true & is the case~
(this thread will NEVER see the light of day over at s4gru if their mission statement's a front, i have my suspicions why)
why stalemate to WHAT'S happening , & not delve further & push the envelope, into WHY the handsets & network inter-act like so?
**WHY is sprint's ecsfb creating issues with the newer qualcomm based single chipped, single pathed phones??**
(which is the point of this thread's birth)
for solution sake..

He heedfully stared through the binoculars six houses down in his car underneath the shadow of the tree at her picking up the gifts and letters he left on her doorstep, while he guzzled a large cup of coffee. She looked around, bewildered, as if she was wondering who would do this. She brought it inside and came back outside to get the mail. She went back inside and he waited for her, knowing her schedule. Hours passed and there she appeared with tight ripped black jeans, a small grey shirt, and Black Flat Gladiator sandals. She got in her 2012 black Nissan Maxima and drove off. He followed her, keeping a great distance from her car. He knew that every Tuesday she was off and would meet with her friend, Devy, to talk. For weeks he did this, every time he followed her to a new destination.
This time it was the mall. He parked six spots away from her. He got out of the car contemplating on words and how to approach her. She walked in and walked to the other side of the mall, while he was steps behind her looking as customary as ever. Devy was sitting on the bench and she sat next to her. He was standing nearby looking the other way, while his heart was infused with nervousness. Suddenly his heart comported, as his disposition changed.
He treaded to them. "Hey Natalie, did you receive my letters and gifts?"
She was confounded. "Yes, you're very sweet," she responded with a bit of sarcasm.
"Thank you," he said. "Are you free tonight? I would like to take you out to dinner."
"No," she replied. "I'm seeing someone right now."
He was mute with a stolid look on his face, but inside one could hear cracks of his heart take place. He nodded his head, turned his back, and walked to the bathroom. He smacked water upon his face and shook his head in disbelief. Meanwhile, the two girls were talking about what just happened. Devy was disturbed by their conversation.
"Where do you know that guy from?" Devy inquired. "He sounded creepy."
"I know him from high school and back then he had a crush on me," Natalie responded. "I didn't know he still liked me."
"Be careful," Devy sagaciously said. "He knows where you live."
"He likes me, he wouldn't hurt me," Natalie lightheartedly said.
As they continued to communicate, he stormed out of the mall exuding anger. His heart was pounding with malice schemes. His anger continued to build, forgetting how much he loved her. He walked back and forth in front of the entrance.
"I'm done being a gentleman."
He got into his car and sped to her home with an idea, a plan that only seemed sensible to him. He arrived at her home; parked under the same tree he was stalking her from for weeks. He got out, jumped the gate, and broke into the house from the backyard. He examined her home, and eventually he got to her room where he hid himself in the closet waiting for her to come home.
It was dawn and she finally came home. The front door woke him up and he got himself together for this moment. All he heard was her footsteps coming and his portentous heartbeat. She opened the door of her room, sat on the side of her bed, and started undressing herself.
"I've spent too much time on you for you not to love me," he said, while he came out of the closet.
She screamed, but he quickly shut her up. He punched her, pinned her on the bed, and drove a pillow to her head to suffocate her. She was trying to fight him off, but his determination was stronger than her will.
"Since you are not going to love me, you are not going to love anybody," he said in an irate voice.
All of a sudden, she stopped fighting. He continued to press down on her head, making sure she was out. She was dead and he finally removed the pillow from her head and he raped her. After, he took a couple of minutes to stare at her body with disdain. He stayed there.
A week passed by, it was reported that she had not been seen for days. Her parents and Devy were worried about her. Devy told the police of this strange guy that approached them that day they met at the mall. Finally, the police arrived at her home and kicked the front door open. As the police was looking around with their guns, he was lying with the corpse in bed. They got to her room, kicked the bedroom door down, and they saw him next to her. They pointed the gun at him.
"Lift up your hands," the officer yelled.
He did so. "She deserved it, she never loved me back."

RPCV Larry Wonderling says Afghanistan was the worst to live in and the best for fond memories
RPCV Larry Wonderling says Afghanistan was the worst to live in and the best for fond memories
Larry Wonderling
Bernal Heights
Afghanistan was the worst to live in and the best for fond memories. I arrived there in 1971 as a thin, healthy Peace Corps consultant. Two years later, I left unhealthy and 40 pounds lighter. Magnificent scenery, wonderful people and no sanitation.
When this story was prepared, here was the front page of PCOL magazine:
This Month's Issue: August 2004
Teresa Heinz Kerry celebrates the Peace Corps Volunteer as one of the best faces America has ever projected in a speech to the Democratic Convention. The National Review disagreed and said that Heinz's celebration of the PCV was "truly offensive." What's your opinion and who can come up with the funniest caption for our Current Events Funny?
Exclusive: Director Vasquez speaks out in an op-ed published exclusively on the web by Peace Corps Online saying the Dayton Daily News' portrayal of Peace Corps "doesn't jibe with facts."
In other news, the NPCA makes the case for improving governance and explains the challenges facing the organization, RPCV Bob Shaconis says Peace Corps has been a "sacred cow", RPCV Shaun McNally picks up support for his Aug 10 primary and has a plan to win in Connecticut, and the movie "Open Water" based on the negligent deaths of two RPCVs in Australia opens August 6. Op-ed's by RPCVs: Cops of the World is not a good goal and Peace Corps must emphasize community development.

I thought it would be nice to document a little bit of my Friday's city visit with my friend Ana and what else to do it with if not with my brand new instax mini 90 - NEO CLASSIC. Gosh do I like this little fella!
|First we had some coffee. There's cable railway up to Ljubljana castle in the back.
|Then we headed towards Ljubljana market place where something called "An Open Kitchen" is happening on Fridays and Saturdays. It's about city's restaurants offering their food on a special market.
|We chose spinach-feta-pine nuts pie from here (although all the sweets were really tempting too).
|You can see how busy it was but it's only about 1/4 of all of it.
|After the food we went for another cup of coffee and some cake to our favourite cake place. Here you can see a bit of Ljubljana castle up on the hill. This is also THE city center and it's really beautiful and worth a visit.
|The other side of previous photo. This are the Three Bridges crossing river Ljubljanica.
|The view from our table at the cake shop. Loads of people and tourists strolling about or sitting in the sun and relaxing. Just like we were, only we chose the shadow as it was just too hot :)
It was a memorable day and I wish I took more photos. But it was so lovely to just sit and chat that I enjoyed those moments instead. I did take a photo of Ana but I gave it to her :)

Allegheny County, PA - Property Tax Assessment Search & Lookup
How much can you save if you win a lower assessment? Use the Allegheny County property tax and assessment calculator
page will explain how to lookup your Allegheny County property tax
assessment and explain the use of the Allegheny County tax calculator
to estimate your property taxes in Allegheny County, PA.
Hopefully, these pages will help you with your assessment appeal.
This link >>> Allegheny County Assessment search page, will open a new window in your browser and take you to the Allegheny County, PA search page. You should see this page: Once you find you the property assessment, you can estimate the property taxes with the Allegheny County Tax Calculator. This calculator should be useful if you are considering appealing your property taxes. This calculator will estimate how much you can lower your property taxes if you win the assessment (tax) appeal.
Remember all the hype about legalizing gambling in Pennsylvania; and how it was going to lower our property taxes? How much did you save? Proceed to the School Tax Rates page.
Read the Disclaimer and if you agree, click on the Continue button:
You should be at this screen:
Enter the street name, in the Street Name box - Do not enter the house number in this box, enter the house number in the House Number box. If you want to lookup the entire street, leave the House Number box vacant. If you know the borough or township, use the drop down box. Click Search.
You are now at the search result.
Click on the number to the left of the property that you are looking for
At the bottom of the page, you will see two sets of numbers, Full Market Value and County Assessed Value. The township, borough & school district assessed value is based on the Full Market Value, and Allegheny County's assessed Value is based on the County Assessed Value to the right.
You will notice that the County Assessed Value is lower than
the local and school district. The reason is that Allegheny County
allows a reduction in the assessed valuation for a Homestead exemption.
This reduction reduces the tax paid to Allegheny County. The homestead exemption (or reduction) does not apply to the borough, township or school district property taxes.
Allegheny County Tax Calculator
I developed this calculator to help me estimate the tax savings by appealing my Allegheny County tax assessment. In short, how much would I reduce my taxes by lowering my assessment. The calculator should also be useful for real estate agents to update the property taxes on their listings. So here's how it works:
The Building Value may be lower on the County Assessed Value side. The reason is due to the homestead exemption. The homestead exemption only applies to the Allegheny County assessment, not to the local and school tax assessment. After you enter the tax numbers, click outside the box to "lock in" your choice. Now if you want to see how much you can reduce your property taxes by appealing your assessment, reduce the "Building" value by say, $10,000 and see the revised property taxes.
Millage Change
Keeping up with the municipal and school millage rates is difficult to say the least, so, you can revise the millage rates in this way. As you scroll down on the calculator, you will see a listing of the municipal, school and tax rates. You can back space out the pre-filled values and enter the correct tax millage. After entering the correct value, click outside the box to "lock in" the tax rate.

All About Good Lighting
Chandeliers are a very important piece of your home's aesthetic, they become the focal point of any room. At CKC we like the refer to them as the jewelry. And we are experts at telling the difference between Tiffany's and cubic zirconia;) So check out below my thoughts on some statement making chandeliers we have installed into our homes.
This is one of my favorite chandeliers! It looks like you are in a rain storm of diamonds. This piece definitely commands charge in the room and compliments the tub wall tile very well.
The living area here was pretty large, so we wanted to add two lighting pieces to bring more grandness to the area. I decided on a simple but elegant chandelier that would compliment the views you see outside of the windows and not take away from the view.
The style of your home is going to effect the lighting selections we will pick. Check out some of these modern chandeliers we installed.
These are not chandeliers, but I still wanted to mention them to you. Wall sconces are great to use to add accents in small spaces like bathrooms, closets, or wine rooms. They will add elegance to the room without over powering the space.

First Aid Tip: 5 Ways Your Mobile Can Be a Lifesaver
Smartphones often get a bad rap these days as doing us more harm than good!
Still, the fact remains that most of us wouldn't be without one which means that when faced with an emergency, you don't have to go anywhere to make a call and get an ambulance on it's way.
There's also a few extra things you can do with your smartphone to make it even more helpful when someone (including you) needs medical help fast.
Here are our top 5 tips for using your mobile in a first aid emergency:
1. Install the Emergency + app
Go ahead and download the emergency + app now! It was developed in coordination with Australia's emergency services to make it easy, not only to call the most appropriate emergency number, but displays your GPS coordinates and closest street address so you can quickly communicate your location.
Download Emergency + app >
2. Utilise voice activation services
In 2016, iPhone's voice activated assistant "Siri" helped a panicked Cairns mother save her baby who had stopped breathing, by calling triple zero when the phone had fallen and was out of reach [Full article]. Using her phone handsfree also allowed the mother to provide CPR without delay. Most smartphones now have voice activation, so it might just pay to learn how to activate it quickly in an emergency.
3. Setup ICE (In Case of Emergency) access from your lock screen
Did you know that a bystander or paramedic could retrieve critical medical info about you and call your emergency contact person all from your phone's lock screen? It's easy to setup but the process differs depending on the phone you have.
On iPhone, your Medical ID can be completed in the Health app (white icon with red heart).
On Android phones, you should first try looking in your phone settings for ICE information under "My Information". Failing that, there are apps for adding I.C.E. info, but you'll need one that has a widget accessible from the lock screen.
If you can't set up ICE access from your lock screen, then at least update your phone's contacts with your next of kin listed as ICE, so a rescuer can retrieve this number in the event that you can't communicate this information.
4. Install the HeadCheck app
Brain injuries like concussion are a particular concern for children and those involved in sports. A brain injury is a medical emergency but they can be difficult to recognise. The HeadCheck app has been endorsed by the Australian Football League (AFL) and offers an easy systematic approach to assessing for brain injury using a series of simple questions.
HeadCheck on iOS | HeadCheck on Android
5. Install the Australian Bites & Stings app
This is a very handy one for anyone going outdoors, particularly over the summer. The app has been developed by the Australian Venom Research Unit (AVRU) and provides information about Australian venomous creatures, including photos, regions they inhabit, signs and symptoms of envenomation and specific step-by-step first aid treatment.
App on iOS | App on Android

1. I dreamed I visited a place that was so beautiful, so full of ice and water, of cliffs and sea creatures, viewed through high, polished windows with a person I loved, that I cried. The way to the place involved a fabric bridge that swayed over an abyss as we drove or rode. The bridge was multi-colored, like a stretched-out quilt.
2. I dreamed of an old friend in two different ways. In the first part of the dream, my husband had told me she'd died; in the second part of the dream, she flowed into my living room, dressed in yellow and smelling of sun.
3. He Who Shall Not Be Named and his son have basically said that all of us who have been sexually harassed in the workplace are to blame for not leaving. But why should we have to leave jobs we love because some Neanderthal with drooping eyelids and large hands can't keep himself from saying things, from reaching for body parts he has no right to touch? In the office, at conventions, on buses on the way from Columbia to the airport in St. Louis. On a train from Paris to Frankfurt. On the UMC campus after I stopped to give directions to a lost student (who harassed me later by following me to my apartment). What does the Orange One expect us to do? Find another job, another school, another career, another train, another bus, another city, another state, another world, another life? Walking away is not always an option. Nor should we have to choose it. Harassers should simply not harass (not pissed about this issue at all).
4. Once, when my child was about 5 or 6 months old and had begun to learn how to sing, she sang to the priest in church (Episcopal) as he delivered his sermon. She did not sing softly; she cooed and called and trilled and shrilled and thrilled. I started to take her out so that she didn't disturb his flow or the rest of the congregation. The priest paused. Let's say he'd been talking about Matthew 10: 7-16. ("Cure the sick, raise the dead, clean the lepers.") He drifted back a few passages, stared directly at me and quoted: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." My Girl and I returned to our seat, invited and welcome. If we'd been at an Orange-haired rally, we would have been asked to leave.
5. I have not watched cable or network news since the DNC convention ended last Thursday night, but I have been reading news online. I go to The Guardian's front page hoping to read something semi-innocuous (to me) about Theresa May or Boris or David. But the powers that be sense I'm an American, and the big, red face in a big, square photo droops down on me, and all the news is about him. Except for those stories where I read about another shooting death or the terrifying spread of the Zika virus. Can we stop obsessing for a bit? Can you give us a moment away from the steamy piles of words, the staccato syntax, the fluffy strands of toddler hair covering the bald spot?
6. My kitty sits next to me on the sofa. I run my fingers between his ears and down his neck, and he purrs, and the stone in my gut begins to dissolve. It will be all right. It will be all right. There, there.

Our studio, beyond the window
By crossing the threshold of our studio in Turin, you bump into a big green table with a net in the middle.
Just above it, on a mezzanine made with fir wood, Boumaka's heads disappear behind a desk full of bunches of paper, books and computers.
We are three designers, by the window, illuminated by the pale light of monitors.
We are a heterogeneous group, whose interests go from letters to photography, from numbers to manual sign.
We give a shape to words, images and data by testing always new materials and eventually finding ourselves with dirt hands, which we clean by pressing on the keyboards of our laptops.
Boumaka create visual identities, promotional campaigns, websites and books.
After getting a degree at the Politecnico of Turin, we founded a cultural association to learn the secrets of typography, to delve into the art and to keep warm by creating a brand of clothes.
We keep on searching everyday, according to what makes us curious, or to what customers need. We love entering into new worlds and exploring new cultures, technologies and techniques according to orders.
Problem solver
We try to deeply understand who you are, what you do and what is your target. We design visual identities, translate values into symbols and sum them up in the main element which will represent your company or your product in a unique way. We create a flexible system which can be applied to every support which characterize your business.
We design web sites from portfolio to e-commerce. We discuss with customers the features, which automatize the processes, and we design an up-to-date user interface according to your identity. We want the contents to be well indexed, in order to make the site really present, and to make it accessible to every modern device, from 30 to 3,5 inch.
Paper is never out of fashion. It will make the most of you, if you make the most of it. According to contents and aims, we study the best support, format and typographic system to present them. We build grids and we love searching for and using the types which will inhabit them. We organize contents, we are very careful about images and we realize graphic elements which can go with and complete them.
We launch activities and services by realizing communication campaigns which are studied on different media.
We develop the idea that you need, we plan it in space and time. Then we visualize it through different techniques, from photographic images to illustration, from typography to video. We find the best solution to promote your work.
We founded a cultural association to delve into the theme of typography, by studying from movable to generative type. We mix different techniques, being always respectful of the communicative value of the glyph. We develop made to measure lettering with different graphic devices for communication campaigns.
The possibility to visualize the complexity of information, which have been generated in time or by a structure, creates new points of view. It simplifies the approach to complex tables without soul, it creates a narration, shows patterns, similarities and peaks which were invisible before.
We search, analyze, clean data in order to represent them in a static or interactive form, thanks to new coding technologies.
Existent elements can't explain everything. Sometimes we need to create, translate an abstract message, a process, a feeling into graphic form.
We interpret and translate them into a simple visible language, made of symbols which everyone can understand. We realize iconic systems or more complex illustrations for the publishing and the web.
We add a dimension to our way to tell stories, we develop them in time.
We organize contents on a storyboard and we interpolate them to obtain a consistent story. We use video devices to realize corporate video or presentations in order to make them fast, clear and light.

The National Curriculum for England provides the structure for GEMS Royal Dubai School and ensures a seamless transition for our students when transferring between any other British curriculum schools around the globe, supported by our COBIS status.
The Foundation Stage curriculum is divided into six areas of learning:
- Personal, social and emotional development.
- Communication, language and literacy.
- Mathematical development
- Knowledge and understanding of the world.
- Physical development
- Creative development
In Key Stages 1 and 2 the children will study the following subjects:
Core subjects:

- Mathematics
- Science
- Digital Learning
- Social Studies
- Moral Education (Year 2 to Year 6)
Foundation subjects:
- History
- Geography

- French (from Year 3)
First and second Arabic language lessons and Islamic Education (for our Muslim pupils) are taught from Year 1 in accordance with local Ministry requirements. In FS1, Arabic First Language Speakers spend a weekly allocated time with an Arabic teacher engaging in play-based activities to further enhance their Arabic language skills. In FS2 children will receive two 30 minute sessions of Arabic as a class; with differentiated activities for first and second language speakers. French is also taught as an additional language from Year 3.
Success develops naturally in children who are happy, well-motivated and given the encouragement to push themselves. We therefore encourage students at GEMS RDS to be prepared to take a few risks along the way, knowing they will always be supported.
Foundation Stage
At our GEMS Dubai school, we know how young children learn, and provide a stimulating environment in which they flourish.
We want our youngest pupils to have a happy and confident start to their learning journey. We aim to develop their curiosity, imagination and a thirst for learning. Therefore, their classrooms have been designed especially to make them feel comfortable, secure and ready to learn. Everything they need is within their bright colourful play space, such as washroom facilities and direct access to a shaded and well-resourced outside area.
The curriculum is delivered through carefully structured play activities and practical experiences, and is supported by a programme of visits and outings. Our caring staff create a vibrant environment and through observation and listening are able to ensure that each individual is supported through the Stepping Stones towards the Early Learning Goals. In this way we ensure our pupils have all the skills and attitudes they will need to succeed in Year 1.
Key Stage 1
We take seriously our role in encouraging children to develop the leadership skills, resilience and confidence which will help them succeed in a challenging world. In Key Stage 1, this means specialist teachers working alongside our experienced class teachers to ensure a broad and motivating curriculum whilst achieving consistently high standards for the all-round development of our students. Each child is treated as an individual, and at GEMS RDS we look at the youngsters' preferred learning styles and help them to understand themselves as learners.
With its outstanding academic record, first-class facilities and excellent pastoral care, GEMS Royal Dubai School offers all students the chance to excel both inside and outside the classroom. They learn to enquire, question, hypothesise, use their imagination and develop their physical, creative, mathematical and language skills. We also ensure that our pupils develop the social skills to be confident and responsible members of their class and school community. Whilst setting high academic standards, we also ensure there is an emphasis on fun and lots of practical experience, both inside and beyond the school boundaries.
Key Stage 2
With a friendly atmosphere, the children are well mannered and eager to learn. High standards are expected and met, and each child is regarded as an individual. In Key Stage 2 there are many opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, with students thriving in a stimulating environment and making use of the excellent facilities on campus.
With a combination of traditional and modern teaching methods, each child is encouraged to develop into an independent learner and succeed to the best of their ability. This is achieved through aiming for the highest possible standards and ensuring that all students are able to meet challenges by setting individual targets and encouraging long-term goals. Personalised learning, ongoing assessment, a range of teaching approaches, as well as a selection of extra-curricular activities, all help to motivate and inspire, develop natural ability and encourage new interests.
The GEMS Royal Dubai School seeks to encourage and develop a range of gifts and talents amongst its students. It has high academic standards and aspirations, but also encourages artistic, creative and sporting excellence. We are confident that the overall effect of children receiving such a broad curriculum will be that they discover their skills and interests, and will gain the self-belief and a willingness to live their lives to the full.

"The more you desire safety the more there is to fear"
Deborah Stratman is an instructor at University of Illinois at Chicago. She has a bright personality, wore a colorful rainbow shirt and is an entertaining storyteller. She makes dark artwork...
She works in the themes of time, film, photography, sound, music, fear, authority, fraud, communication, surveillance and more that I likely missed. A majority of her artistic career was spent making films. About 15 years in she began working with installations and photography. Stratman has created sound environment installations, transmit towers for communicating, dead paper mache horses used for surveillance. Each project is expansive, detailed and engages the viewer who becomes apart of the piece.
An obsession with photographing parking attendant boots at night lead to the creation of her own migratory parking attendant booth. They are structures humble in design but commanding in authority. She placed the booth in various locations and had many stories to tell. Someone moved into a booth and began collecting money out of it. The booth was tagged by graffiti and with the authority the structure commands it was repainted by an official!
She is seeking to create a database of fears and has setup a phone line (800.585.1078) where people can call to confess. Examples she gave were malls, death, snakes, being sober, spiders, ignorance, seeing someone for the last time, sustaining a blow to the head and suffering amnesia, hot lights and being an example to a son. This is a work in progress.
But Stratman has her foundation in short film. They are hypnotic, often with long shots, repetitive scenes and audio, and distorted visuals. Her mastery of theses elements make her films unique and fascinating.

Employee engagement is a top UCI and UC priority. Leaders inspire employees to focus their individual talents on the goals of the organization and to contribute at the highest level. Effective leaders are also guardians of the culture and exemplars in living the organization's values. As a result, great leaders are often met with the prize of engaged employees who feel prepared and empowered to progress in their careers. The UCI Staff Assembly Excellence in Leadership Award recognizes these exceptional leaders at all levels.
- Only those managers or supervisors with staff appointments are eligible for nomination; those holding academic and/or student assistant title codes are not eligible

- Nominations will be accepted online only
- Nominations must be received by March 20, 2020
- Nominations must include
- Information about the manager or supervisor being nominated

- A signature page including representation from at least 50% of the nominee's direct reports in support of the nomination
- A nomination statement (Be sure to follow the instructions in the nomination form for more complete details on each of these items)
- Incomplete nomination packets will not be considered
Selection of Awardees
The Staff Assembly council will convene a nomination review committee that will select awardees based on the merits outlined in the nomination statement. Criteria for selection are clear demonstration of the following leadership competencies in the nomination statement:

- Employee Engagement
- Innovation
All nominees will receive an email from Staff Assembly and the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor congratulating them on their nomination and inviting them to attend the Staff Service Awards, where the announcement of these awardees will be made.
We are recognizing leaders with four variants of the Excellence in Leadership Award.

- Collaboration
- Employee Engagement
- Innovation
Plus, an additional overall award for excellence across all three leadership competencies.
- All awardees will receive a distinctive, personalized memento

Etihad Airways has announced it will start flights from Abu Dhabi to Kazakhstan's largest city, Almaty, in December.
The airline will ply the route four times a week from December 2, using an Airbus A319 configured for 104 passengers, with 20 seats in business class and 84 in economy.
Flight EY296 will depart from Abu Dhabi on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 1020, arriving in Almaty at 1635 the same day, with return flight EY297 leaving Kazakhstan at 1735, arriving in Abu Dhabi at 2030.
The new route will provide good outbound connection possibilities for passengers travelling from London, as Etihad has a daily flight leaving London at 2120, arriving into Abu Dhabi at 0725 the next morning. Inbound is not quite so convenient though, as the first Abu Dhabi-London flight after 2030 is British Airways' 0210 departure, followed by a 0245 flight with Etihad.
The only direct flights from London to Almaty are Bmi's three-times weekly service (Monday, Thursday and Saturday) and Air Astana's twice-weekly flight (Tuesday and Saturday). Other options would be to fly via Amsterdam with KLM, Frankfurt with Lufthansa, or Moscow with Aeroflot.
Almaty is the traditional and cultural capital of Kazakhstan (the official capital is Astana), with a population of 1.2 million people. The city's economy has grown rapidly since the country gained independence in 1990, with the oil and gas sectors benefitting from large amounts of foreign investment.
