Tender Search and Management Portal in UK

In today's competitive marketplace, businesses are constantly on the lookout for opportunities that can propel them forward. One key avenue for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), is the tendering process. Navigating the labyrinth of public and private sector tenders can be daunting, but the advent of sophisticated tender search and management portals is transforming how businesses find and manage these opportunities in the UK. This blog post delves into the burgeoning world of tender search and management portals, exploring their benefits, key features, and how they are reshaping the procurement landscape.

Understanding Tender Search and Management Portals

Tender search and management portals are digital platforms designed to streamline the process of finding, bidding for, and managing tenders. These portals centralize information about available tenders, simplifying the search process for businesses. They also offer tools to help manage the bidding process, track deadlines, and ensure compliance with tender requirements.

Why Are Tender Portals Important?

Increased Accessibility: Tender portals make it easier for businesses of all sizes to access a wide range of opportunities. Instead of manually searching through various sources, companies can use a single platform to find relevant tenders.

Time Efficiency: The automation and centralization provided by these portals save businesses significant time. Automated alerts and reminders ensure that no important deadlines are missed, and streamlined submission processes help avoid last-minute scrambles.

Improved Accuracy: By providing a standardized platform for submission, these portals help reduce errors and ensure that all necessary documentation is included. This increases the likelihood of a successful bid.

Enhanced Competition: With easier access to opportunities, more businesses can participate in the tendering process. This not only levels the playing field but also fosters healthy competition, which can lead to better value for public and private sector buyers.

Key Features of Modern Tender Portals

Advanced Search Capabilities: Modern portals offer robust search functionalities, allowing users to filter tenders by industry, location, contract value, and other criteria. This ensures that businesses only see opportunities relevant to their specific capabilities and interests.

Automated Alerts: Users can set up notifications for new tenders that match their criteria. This proactive approach ensures that businesses are always aware of new opportunities as soon as they arise.

Bid Management Tools: Many portals provide tools for tracking and managing bids, including submission timelines, document management, and compliance checks. These features help streamline the bidding process and ensure all requirements are met.

Reporting and Analytics: Advanced analytics capabilities offer insights into bidding performance and market trends. Businesses can use this data to refine their strategies and improve their chances of success.

Integration with Other Systems: Seamless integration with CRM and ERP systems allows businesses to manage their tenders alongside other operational processes, further enhancing efficiency.

Leading Tender Portals in the UK

Several tender portals are prominent in the UK, each offering unique features and benefits. Some of the leading platforms include:

Contracts Finder: A government portal that provides access to public sector contract opportunities and is ideal for businesses looking to work with the UK government.

Tenders Electronic Daily (TED): The online version of the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, which lists tenders across Europe, including the UK.

BidStat: A platform known for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive search functionalities, catering to a broad range of industries and sectors.

Find a Tender (FTS): A platform specifically for public sector contracts in the UK, offering detailed search and bid management features.

Best Practices for Using Tender Portals

To maximize the benefits of tender portals, businesses should consider the following best practices:

Regular Monitoring: Frequently check the portal for new tenders and updates. Setting up automated alerts can help keep you informed without the need for constant manual checking.

Complete and Accurate Submissions: Ensure that all required documents are included and that submissions are complete and accurate. Double-checking the details can prevent costly mistakes.

Leverage Analytics: Use the analytics tools provided by the portal to analyze bid performance and market trends. This data can inform your bidding strategy and help identify areas for improvement.

Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with changes in procurement regulations and portal features to ensure compliance and take full advantage of the portal’s capabilities.

Conclusion

Tender search and management portals are revolutionizing the procurement landscape in the UK, offering businesses of all sizes an efficient and effective way to discover and manage tender opportunities. By leveraging these platforms, companies can enhance their bidding processes, improve accuracy, and ultimately increase their chances of securing valuable contracts. As the marketplace continues to evolve, staying informed about the latest developments and best practices in tender management will be crucial for businesses looking to thrive in a competitive environment.

Naomi Kritzer's "Liberty's Daughter"

Tomorrow (November 22), I'll be joined by Vass Bednar at the Toronto Metro Reference Library for a talk about my new novel, The Lost Cause, a preapocalyptic tale of hope in the climate emergency.

There's so much sf about "competent men" running their families with entrepreneurial zeal, clarity of vision and a firm confident hand. But there's precious little fiction about how much being raised by a Heinlein dad would suuuck. But it would, and in Naomi Kritzer's Liberty's Daughter, we get a peek inside the nightmare:

https://fairwoodpress.com/store/p148/LIBERTY%27S_DAUGHTER.html

Beck Garrison is a seasteader, living on a floating platform built by libertarian cranks to get away from big government, taxes, and the idea that people owe each other care and consideration. Various kinds of market trufans have built their own fiefdoms: there's a sin city, a biotech free-for-all, a lawless Mad Max zone, and so on.

Beck's father, Paul, is some kind of local functionary. He's wealthy and respected, both a power-broker and a power in his own right. He pays for Beck to get private tutoring (no public schools – no public anything) and if she needs bailing out from some kind of sticky situation, he's got her on his account with Alpha Dogs, the toughest mercenaries on the sea (no police, either). An armed society is a polite society, after all.

Beck has a job, naturally (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch). She's a finder: for all that the steaders worship commerce as a sacrament consecrated to the holy Invisible Hand, there's not a lot of retail at sea. California – the nearest onshore neighbor – has lots of pesky taxes, and besides, it's a long ways off. Besides, space is at a premium on the stead, so people don't have attics and basements to fill with excess consumer junk.

Instead, when a steader needs something – a shoelace, a fashion accessory, or any other creature comfort – they hire a finder like Beck to clamber around between the decks of the aircraft carriers, scows, yachts and other vessels comprising the stead. It's a good way for Beck to earn spending money, and she's a natural at it. After all, she's been a steader since she was four, when her mother died in a drunk driving accident and her father took her to sea.

The story opens with a finding job. Beck wants a pair of sparkly shoes for her client, and the woman who owns them is an indentured servant whose sister has gone missing. Find the sister, get the shoes.

Indentured servant? Yeah, of course. Freedom of contract is the one freedom from which all the others flow, so you can sell yourself into bond labor. Hell, maybe you can earn enough to buy a share in the stead and become a co-owner/citizen.

This is the setup for Beck's adventure, which sees her liberating bond slaves tricked into fatal work details, getting involved in reality TV production, meeting illegal IWW organizers, and becoming embroiled in a pandemic that threatens the lives of all the steaders. It's a coming of age novel, told with the same straightforward, spunky zeal of Heinlein's juvies, but from the perspective of the daughter, not the dad.

Kritzer makes it clear that growing up under the thumb of a TANSTAAFL-worshipping, self-regarding, wealthy autocrat who worships selfishness as the necessary precondition for market clearing would be a goddamned nightmare. She also thinks through some of the important implications of life in one of these offshore libertarian archipelagos, like the fact that the wealthy residents would be overwhelming drawn from the ranks of corporate criminals and tax-cheats, and the underclass would be bail-skipping proles ensnared in the War on Drugs.

But Liberty's Daughter isn't a hymn to big government. Most of the steaders are escaping the US government, a state whose authoritarian and cruel proclivities are well-documented. Kritzer uses the labor dispute at the core of the novel to reveal market authoritarianism – the coercive power that hunger and poverty transfers from the have-nots to the haves. Think of Anatole France's wry observation that "the law, in its majestic equality, equally forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."

If you're familiar with Kritzer's work, you won't be surprised to learn that she tells a zippy, fast moving tale that smuggles in sharp observations about the cleavage lines between solidarity and selfishness. Her story "So Much Cooking" – published years before the pandemic – captured life under lockdown with eerie prescience:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/04/17/pack-of-knaves/#so-much-cooking

More recently, her "Better Living Through Algorithms" is a dazzling display of knifework that'll cut you a dozen times before you even notice that you're bleeding:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/02/wunderkammer/#jubillee

If you habitually read Kritzer's short fiction, Liberty's Daughter might be familiar to you, as it is adapted from a series of stories that originally ran in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Kritzer's YA debut, Catfishing on the CatNet, was also adapted from a short story, "Cat Pictures Please," which won the Hugo Award in 2016:

https://boingboing.net/2019/11/19/setec-astronomy-kitteh.html

"Libertarian exit" – buying a country, or an archipelago, or just a luxury bunker – has been in the air lately. It's a major element of my new novel, The Lost Cause, which came out this month – anarchocapitalist wreckers try to sabotage the Green New Deal from the seastead they've moored to the tallest point in the drowned Grand Caymans and declared to be a sovereign nation:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865939/the-lost-cause

Kritzer is great at catching that zeitgeist. Seasteading is part of a long, bitter dream of a certain kind of selfish person to escape society, a tale told in lurid and fascinating detail in Raymond Craib's 2022 history Adventure Capitalism:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/14/this-way-to-the-egress/#terra-nullius

There's a longstanding joke to the effect that you can shut down any discussion of the merits of a libertarian exit by asking three questions about the brave new world:

Whether you can sell your organs;

Whether you can sell yourself into slavery; and

Whether there is any age of consent.

Kritzer tackles the first two, but tacks around the third. Instead, by giving us a young adult protagonist who has been raised in a rusting libertopia, she finds a decidedly less incendiary way to think about the role of autonomy in adolescents, and thus generates far more light than heat.

The result is a cracking read with a sting in its tail.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

Liberty’s Daughter by Naomi Kritzer

By: Eric Hendel

Issue: 15 January 2024

Naomi Kritzer’s novel Liberty’s Daughter is a book that I both loved reading, and also a story which I think falls short of its full potential. Based in part on a series of shorter works written by the author (all of which have here been compiled into a larger narrative), Kritzer’s novel centers around the experiences of Beck Garrison, a sixteen-year-old girl who, along with her father, lives on a scattered network of artificially created islands and repurposed cruise ships known as a seastead. Set in an ambiguously dystopian near-future world, the novel introduces us to the six nations of the seastead, which was originally constructed by libertarian activists seeking to create what they falsely conceptualized as a utopian society valuing personal liberty above all else.

As the novel opens, the seastead has persisted in an ambiguous legal state for nearly forty-nine years. While the mainland United States government refuses to acknowledge this society’s independence (pointedly calling its embassy on the seastead not an embassy but an institute), it has also paradoxically neglected to arrest the many well-known corporate criminals who have fled here to avoid prosecution for their crimes. Over the course of Liberty’s Daughter, Kritzer uses this setup to explore contrasting articulations of human rights and social responsibilities, with the seastead slowly revealed to be an intensely authoritarian community in its own right.

All of this is introduced alongside a more subtle storyline, in which Beck’s realization of the true nature of the seastead’s views of human rights tracks alongside her gradually expanding understanding of the context in which her father brought her to live in this community. This latter development follows on from Beck’s decision to begin slowly reconnecting with her estranged mother, whom her father previously claimed had died years earlier. In this way, she eventually comes to recognize not only the truth of the seastead and the many ways in which its libertarian ideology fails, but also the precarity of her own privileged status within this self-described utopia.

The main plot of Liberty’s Daughter begins with a self-contained story that effectively introduces the novel’s themes. Beck is working as a “finder” (a person who is hired to negotiate trades on the seastead for hard-to-find commercially manufactured goods) when she is contacted by an indentured bond worker named Debbie Miller. While Beck is normally hired only by people hoping that she can find rare items for them, like slippers and bathing suits, Debbie has instead reached out to Beck in the hope that she will track down her missing sister, Lynn.

Having previously contracted a mysterious illness which prevented her from working, Lynn vanished shortly after asking her bond-holder on the seastead for a loan so she could pay to be seen by a doctor. Since then, everyone on the seastead to whom Debbie has spoken has claimed to know nothing of Lynn’s whereabouts, with Lynn’s bond-holder himself refusing to speak to Debbie at all. As Beck reflects immediately after hearing of this situation:

I had a bad feeling about this. My job is finding things, but normally that just means finding willing sellers for interested buyers. That’s why I was looking for the sandals. Finding a person was a whole different kettle of shark bait. But the seastead wasn’t that big, so unless she’d fallen over the side and drowned … I pulled out my gadget to take notes. “Okay,” I said, and keyed in the name. “What else can you tell me?” (p. 11)

This search draws Beck into a loosely connected sequence of overlapping objectives, all of which in turn coalesce into a larger story. Initially intent only on locating Lynn and verifying her safety, Beck soon discovers that the bond that allowed Lynn to live on the seastead has been sold to a “skin farm”—a dangerous factory whose impoverished workers routinely die due to exposure to chemicals normally outlawed. Worse still is that this factory is located on one of the seastead’s most infamous islands—a decaying cargo ship called Liberty (or “Lib” for short) whose residents abide by the single all-encompassing law that their exclusively capitalist society has no laws at all.

This brief story is resolved when, unwilling to simply abandon Lynn to her fate, Beck chooses to call upon the help of a private militia in Lib called the Alpha Dogs—a group for whose services her father had previously purchased a security subscription. In a scene which almost comes across as deliberately anticlimactic, Beck simply walks into the skin farm in which Lynn is being held captive, and, under the protection of the Alpha Dog bodyguard she has hired, commands that Lynn be set free. Critical to this scene is the exact manner by which Beck manages to free Lynn, and the exchange that occurs when she does so:

She was chained to the workbench. “Can you get her loose?” I said to my bodyguard. He gave me a look. “I’m hired to protect you. She is not on my contract.” “Yeah?” I walked over and grabbed her arm. “Lynn, will you give me the honor of your company? Say yes.” “… Yes?” “Lynn is my date and my contract specifies that you will provide protection services for me and my date at all times. And I want you to get us out of here.” (p. 38)

This scenario functions as an encapsulation of the themes that the entire novel explores. The way in which Beck frees Lynn (by extending the terms of the bodyguard’s contract onto her) reveals the vast gulf that exists between this libertarian society’s claimed values of personal freedom and autonomy and the reality of how these values manifest. Beck is only capable of entering the skin farm because of the bodyguard whom she has personally hired; having a member of a privately-funded militia at her side is all that allows her to move through this space without question. By contrast, Lynn is indicated to have spent the last two weeks chained to a desk in this same factory, unable to leave due to an outstanding medical debt that she had no choice but to incur. Even in this scenario, Beck’s bodyguard at first refuses to free Lynn by claiming he has no right to do so due to the terms of his contract; he only agrees to do what Beck says when she changes the situation so as to better meet those terms. While this is a community whose citizens claim to have no laws, the actions of Beck and her bodyguard reveal that the society abides by at least one: that the only rights which anyone has are those that can be forcibly extracted from the lives of others.

This examination of the limitations of the seastead’s ethos continues as the book progresses, with Kritzer’s novel quickly giving way to less a single narrative thread than a fascinating sequence of loosely connected subplots and self-contained story arcs which require that Beck directly engage with the entrenched social inequity of the seastead’s community.

After she has freed Lynn from the skin farm, there is a strange but also unexpectedly fascinating story in which Beck is recruited by the producer of a reality television program from the mainland United States. While working as this woman’s assistant, Beck comes in turn to serve a vital if indirect role in an emerging labor movement amongst bond workers like Debbie and Lynn. In the process of this work, Beck witnesses a bizarre inversion of the seastead’s libertarian philosophy when the producer of the program tries offering her employees healthcare, only to then be threatened by the leader of the entire seastead due to the dangerous precedent he fears this act will set. There is also, later on, an extended story depicting the outbreak of a mysterious plague originating from one of the seastead’s unregulated nanotech research facilities, with Beck and several of her friends desperately working to distribute a vaccine to the seastead’s overly paranoid citizens. Eventually the book concludes via a legitimately fascinating final act wherein what little governmental infrastructure the seastead previously possessed collapses. Beck and others subsequently begin working to rebuild their society, and in the process start replacing its libertarian, capitalist ethic with something more holistic and inclusive.

My main problem with Liberty’s Daughter is that, as engaging and creative as the book’s story is, there are also several critical junctures at which I think that Kritzer fails to fully explore the implications of this narrative. Instead, in these moments the novel pulls back from the events it is depicting and shuts down any further exploration of the issues its story has introduced, in a way that feels extremely artificial.

One example of this emerges in the conclusion to the story of Lynn’s escape from the skin farm. Initially simply expecting Lynn to go to the American Embassy so she can formally request asylum, Beck learns that a drug charge in Lynn’s past makes this option impossible for her. This is a crime which the book explicitly verifies to the reader is so minor as to be nonexistent, and yet because of this charge—and what it apparently means for Lynn’s future if she ever returns to the United States—she chooses to remain on the seastead in spite of the danger she now knows she faces. This is a plot point that is then abandoned as the story continues, with Lynn simply vanishing from the chapters that follow, and Beck—despite her prior desire to rescue Lynn—appearing strangely uninterested in contemplating how an excessively punitive criminal justice system has forced this woman to place her life in undue danger.

A similar issue emerges in the ending of the book itself. After a cholera outbreak leaves what little social infrastructure the seastead had previously possessed in shambles, a humanitarian group arrives to administer aid to the sick and injured. It’s in this way that Beck is unexpectedly reunited with her mother, Lenore, who has traveled to the seastead with this group. Here, after learning that Beck’s father has fled from the seastead (abandoning his daughter in the process), Lenore reveals the context in which her former husband, Paul Garrison, emigrated to the seastead: he kidnapped a four-year-old Beck after attempting to arrange for his wife’s death in a traffic accident. Lenore then claims custody over Beck against her will, and, in an act that leaves her daughter feeling both disillusioned and betrayed, forces her to leave the seastead for good. The book ends with a scene in which Beck and her mother begin planning a road trip, with Beck herself seemingly forgetting the sense of betrayal she had felt—and the ways in which her mother’s actions mirror the very same exploitative reduction of human rights which had marred so much of the seastead’s society.

Moments like this, while initially appearing minor, function to dampen many of the more pressing questions which Liberty’s Daughter raises. Just as Lynn’s decision to risk her life to remain on the seastead is an act which clearly exists within a still larger context that the book refuses to explore, Lenore’s decision to take Beck away from the seastead against her will raises the possibility that the flaws of the seastead’s exclusionary conceptualization of human rights are far more widespread. Beck’s mother, despite having never adhered to this libertarian ideology, ultimately ends this book by exerting a control over Beck’s life that seems to exist purely for her own sake—a desire to spend the last two years of Beck’s childhood living in a very traditional family setting, regardless of what her daughter has to say about this.

Yet rather than allowing these moments to exist in the story as points of ambiguity, they end up being pushed aside. Liberty’s Daughter ends with Beck and her mother going on a hike together. Even the book’s final line has Beck asking her mother if they can go on a road trip to the Grand Canyon, and Lenore answering, with a laugh, that Beck can go wherever she wants. Yet this moment feels hollow due to how it contrasts with Lenore’s actions: there is at least one place where she will apparently not allow her daughter to go, and, as the novel has demonstrated, it’s a very important one.

Indian Contract Act 1872

The Indian Contract Act of 1872 is a statute established by the Parliament of India that governs formation and enforcement of contracts in India. It applies to all of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Act defines the essential elements of a contract, rules regarding the validity of contracts and the effects of non-compliance.

Formation of Contracts

The Act codifies the way in which contracts may be entered into, executed, implemented, and terminated. For any agreement between parties to qualify as a valid contract, the following elements must be present: offer and acceptance, consideration, competency of parties, free consent, legality of object, and possibility of performance. If any of these elements are missing, the contract is voidable.

Essentials of a Valid Contract

The terms of the contract must be certain, unambiguous and not vague. The parties must be competent, meaning they are of the age of majority and of sound mind. Consent must be freely given, rather than due to coercion, undue influence, fraud, misrepresentation or mistake. The object of the contract must be legal, not opposed to public policy and not immoral or fraudulent. The consideration, or exchange of value, ensures that each party gains or loses something.

Remedies for Breach of Contract

In the event that a party fails to perform his obligations under the contract, the aggrieved party is entitled to remedies such as rescission of the contract, damages, specific performance and injunction. Damages may be claimed as compensation for any loss or damage arising from the breach of contract. Specific performance refers to the right to compel performance of the contract as agreed. An injunction may be sought to prevent further breach.

In conclusion, the Indian Contract Act codifies the way in which legally binding contracts are made and enforced in India. By following the rules set out in the Act regarding formation, validity and performance of contracts, parties can enter into agreements with confidence.

Key Features and Scope of the Act

Formation of Contracts

The Indian Contract Act governs the process by which contracts are made and executed in India. It specifies the necessary ingredients for a valid contract, including offer, acceptance, consideration, competency of parties, free consent, legality of object, and certainty of meaning. The Act also lays down the provisions relating to contractual capacity of parties and contractual obligations.

Enforceability of Contracts

The Act ensures that only those agreements which are enforceable at law are contracts. It determines the circumstances under which promises become enforceable by law. The Act also provides for certain types of void agreements which cannot be enforced in a court of law.

Performance of Contracts

The Act lays down provisions relating to the performance of contracts. It specifies the rules regarding the order of performance of reciprocal promises, the effect of refusal to accept offer of performance, and the effect of neglect of promisee to afford reasonable facilities for performance. The provisions relating to appropriation of payments, delegation of performance, and joint and several liability of promisors are also contained in the Act.

Contingent and Quasi Contracts

The Act deals with certain relations resembling those created by contracts. Obligations which were not the result of an agreement, such as those arising out of voluntary services rendered, payment by interested person, and unjust enrichment are enforceable under the Act. The provisions relating to the liability of finder of goods and the rights and liabilities of persons jointly interested in goods are also covered under the Act.

Remedies for Breach of Contract

The Act provides remedies for breach of contract. It contains provisions relating to damages, specific performance, injunction, rectification and rescission of contracts. The rules regarding mitigation of losses, foreseeability of damage, remoteness of damage, and exclusion of consequential loss are also laid down in the Act. The provisions relating to quasi-contracts and contingent contracts also determine the rights and liabilities of the parties in cases of unjust enrichment or payment for non-existent debts.

In summary, the Indian Contract Act is a comprehensive legislation that governs the contractual relationships in India. It determines the circumstances in which promises become legally binding, the rules relating to performance of contracts, the consequences of breach of contract, and the remedies available to the aggrieved party.

Essential Elements of a Valid Contract

For a legally enforceable contract to exist under Indian Contract Law, certain elements must be present. Both parties must intend to create a legally binding agreement.

Offer and Acceptance

There must be an offer by one party and acceptance of the precise terms of that offer by the other party. An offer is a promise to enter into a contract, provided the terms of the offer are accepted. Acceptance is a statement by the offeree that they agree to the terms of the offer. Once acceptance occurs, a contract is formed.

Consideration

Each party must provide consideration, which is something of value, in exchange for the promise or performance of the other party. Consideration may consist of money, goods, services, or a promise to provide something of value in the future. Without consideration, a contract will not be legally enforceable.

Capacity

The parties entering into the contract must have the legal capacity to do so. Minors, those with mental disabilities, and intoxicated persons may lack capacity. If a party lacks capacity, the contract can potentially be voided.

Legality

The purpose and subject matter of the contract must be legal. A contract for an illegal purpose, such as to commit a crime, will not be enforceable under Indian Contract Law.

Certainty

The contract terms must be sufficiently certain and unambiguous so that the parties understand their obligations. If major terms are uncertain or ambiguous, the contract may be void for uncertainty. The parties should clearly specify details like price, quality, and deadlines to promote certainty.

By understanding these essential elements, you can determine whether you have grounds to pursue legal remedies under a contract or whether a contract may not be legally enforceable. Ensuring these elements are present will also help in drafting clear, enforceable contracts.

Platforms for Listing and Renting Properties in Dubai

Dubai, a thriving cosmopolitan hub, offers a vibrant real estate market with diverse options for property listings and rentals. Whether you are a property owner looking to rent out your space or a tenant searching for a new home, several platforms cater to these needs. This article explores the most popular platforms for listing and renting properties in Dubai and provides an overview of the regulations governing the rental market in the city says, Omar Hussain Chicago.

Popular Platforms for Listing and Renting Properties in Dubai

1. Property Finder

Property Finder is one of the leading real estate portals in the Middle East, offering a comprehensive database of properties for sale and rent in Dubai. The platform features detailed property listings with high-quality photos, virtual tours, and extensive information about each property, including price, location, and amenities. Property Finder also provides market insights and trend analyses, helping users make informed decisions.

2. Dubizzle

Dubizzle is a popular classifieds website in the UAE, covering various categories, including real estate. It offers a wide range of property listings for rent and sale, catering to different budgets and preferences. Dubizzle's user-friendly interface allows users to filter searches based on specific criteria such as price, location, property type, and more. The platform also enables direct communication between property owners and potential tenants.

3. Bayut

Bayut is another major real estate portal in Dubai, known for its extensive property listings and detailed descriptions. The platform provides a seamless search experience with various filters and sorting options. Bayut also offers market reports, area guides, and real estate news, making it a valuable resource for both property owners and renters.

4. Airbnb

For those interested in short-term rentals, Airbnb is a widely used platform in Dubai. It allows property owners to list their homes, apartments, or even rooms for short stays. Airbnb offers a secure and straightforward booking process, with options ranging from budget-friendly accommodations to luxury stays. The platform is particularly popular among tourists and business travelers.

5. JustProperty

JustProperty is a comprehensive real estate portal that lists residential and commercial properties for rent and sale in Dubai. The platform offers advanced search options, detailed property descriptions, and market insights. JustProperty also features a blog with useful tips and advice for property owners and renters.

Regulations Governing Property Rentals in Dubai

Dubai’s real estate market is well-regulated to ensure transparency and protect the rights of both property owners and tenants. Understanding these regulations is crucial for a smooth rental experience.

1. Dubai Land Department (DLD)

Omar Hussain Chicago: The Dubai Land Department (DLD) is the primary authority overseeing real estate transactions in Dubai. It is responsible for implementing and enforcing property laws and regulations. The DLD operates several departments, including the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), which plays a pivotal role in regulating the rental market.

2. Rental Agreements

Rental agreements in Dubai must be registered with Ejari, an online registration system established by RERA. Ejari ensures that all rental contracts are standardized and legally binding. The registration process involves uploading the rental contract and tenant details to the Ejari system, which then issues a unique Ejari ID.

3. Rental Increases

RERA has established guidelines for rental increases to protect tenants from arbitrary rent hikes. The rental increase cap is determined based on the average market rate for similar properties in the area. Property owners must adhere to these guidelines and provide at least 90 days' notice before increasing the rent.

4. Security Deposits

Landlords typically require a security deposit from tenants, which is usually equivalent to one month’s rent. This deposit is refundable at the end of the tenancy, provided there are no damages or outstanding payments. RERA mandates that security deposits must be mentioned in the rental agreement and clearly stated as refundable.

5. Maintenance Responsibilities

According to RERA regulations, landlords are responsible for major maintenance and repair work in the property, while tenants are generally responsible for minor maintenance and repairs. The rental agreement should clearly outline the maintenance responsibilities of both parties to avoid disputes.

6. Dispute Resolution

In case of disputes between landlords and tenants, the Dubai Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC) provides a legal framework for resolution. The RDSC handles cases such as non-payment of rent, eviction issues, and disputes over maintenance responsibilities. Both parties can file a complaint with the RDSC, which will mediate and adjudicate the dispute.

Dubai's dynamic real estate market offers a range of platforms for listing and renting properties, catering to diverse needs and preferences. From comprehensive portals like Property Finder and Bayut to short-term rental options on Airbnb, property owners and renters have numerous resources at their disposal.

Understanding the regulations governing the rental market is essential for a smooth and compliant rental experience. With the Dubai Land Department and RERA providing a robust regulatory framework, both landlords and tenants can navigate the market with confidence. By leveraging the right platforms and adhering to the established regulations, finding or listing a rental property in Dubai can be a straightforward and rewarding process says, Omar Hussain Chicago.

Various Terms of Cave Finders

Mystic- a person who has the ability to live exceedingly long periods of time with very little need (but still need) for necessities such as food and water. They also tend to be magic users with a greater plethora of almost god-like power. Very little is known about their origins and very few have survived into the present day.

Power Wielder- a person that possesses one or more abilities that are unique to the individual. These are considered weaker than mystic power and are quite common around the world in CF.

Non-Power Conductor- a person with no noticeable powers or that does not wield a power. They are becoming increasingly common, but the genetics on becoming one are difficult to pinpoint. Two individuals with no powers could still conceive a power wielding child while two power wielders could still have a child without a power.

Elite- Elites are upper class individuals who tend to live outside of or are in charge of individual city state spaces. They hold most of the world's money and have enough to do whatever they please with it. They often like to collect bounty from run down historical sites and add them into their private collections.

City-States- there are no united countries with one ruler, but mostly towns, cities, villages, ect. with individual laws and politicians. An Elite could choose to rule a land or have a family history of ruling a land, but most are run by elected officials. Citizens of these city states can choose to move from one another depending on the individual city-state's laws and regulations.

Finders for Hire (name may change)- a contract mercenary organization created so that Elites can hire individuals to do dirty work such as loot old caves, spy on people, fight in wars, even assassinate individuals. Typically, they hire people that can't find jobs or need extra money (hence, many view it as a charity). However, once you become one, most of your profit goes towards the company and it is nearly impossible to get out of a contract with said company.

Historical Society- a worldwide organization effort determined to preserve history in the local regions where artifacts of the past are located. They are in constant struggle with Elites, government officials, and Finders to keep historic areas preserved. They work with individuals and groups that want to keep local history safe and prioritize the safety of individuals who are affected by the Finder crisis.

Obtaining Your Low-Power FM License: Gathering Essential Elements – Low Power FM Radio

See on Scoop.it - LPFM Radio

As the countdown clock winds down, with just one month remaining, it’s time to focus on meticulous preparation. Once your non-profit organization has committed to obtaining a low-power FM radio license and established a connection with an advocate to facilitate the paperwork, the subsequent imperative is to collect all the necessary components. Time is of the essence, but there exists ample opportunity to systematically assemble everything. The application window for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is open from December 6th to 13th, providing a trove of information about the LPFM service on the FCC website. Explore the essential components required for your LPFM application: Organizational Documentation or Government Charter Fulfilling this requirement involves submitting your non-profit’s distinctive Articles of Incorporation to the FCC alongside the LPFM application. If your non-profit has yet to complete state-level incorporation, expedite the process, typically taking only a few days. We can help you with this. Pay close attention to nuanced details outlined in pertinent resources to ensure seamless compliance. Importantly, obtaining Federal 501(c)3 tax-exempt status is not obligatory for applying for an LPFM license. Controlling Members’ Names and Addresses Every organization seeking an LPFM permit must provide the FCC with a comprehensive list of its controlling members. For non-profit organizations, this entails submitting a detailed list of board members, including residential addresses and voting percentages. To meet the criteria for local consideration, either the organizational headquarters must be within 10 miles of the proposed transmitter site, or 75 percent of the board members must reside within that radius. This requirement extends to 20 miles outside of Nielsen top 50 Radio Markets. Educational Statement Submission of an Educational Statement accompanies each organization’s LPFM radio application. This statement should delve into the organization’s distinct educational objectives, elucidating how introducing an FM broadcast will actively contribute to those unique goals. Ensure the statement is replete with pertinent details, such as accreditation documents for educational institutions, specific program examples, and a sample weekly schedule. The educational statement becomes a documented part of the organization’s public record. Tower Site Assurance It’s very important that your organization secures a location for the transmission tower and provides reasonable assurance for antenna installation. Submit precise longitude and latitude coordinates to the FCC, ensuring accuracy to avoid disqualification. Engage in a detailed discussion with the property owner, establishing a “meeting of the minds” in FCC parlance. At this stage, a formal property contract is unnecessary, but you must provide the FCC with the property owner’s name and phone number for verification. Selected Channel and Engineering Study (if required) Leverage our LPFM Radio Channel Finder to identify distinct frequencies in your area and at your tower-site location. Channel selection involves considering unique factors such as interference and competition. An engineering study may be necessary if the chosen frequency has pre-existing stations on adjacent channels. This study serves as unique evidence that the new signal won’t cause interference. Given the specialized nature of this work, professional assistance should be sought. For additional guidance on LPFM applications, non-profits can explore support from LPFM.pro with specialized expertise in the field. As the deadline approaches, the emphasis on crafting a robust and distinct application is crucial before strategizing for success. Stay tuned for the next installment, where we navigate through distinctive scenarios and guide you to emerge triumphant!

NDIS Support Services Australia

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of the biggest social reforms in Australia's history, delivering choice and control for people with disability. It's also creating new opportunities for the disability sector and driving economic improvements.

Within the next five years, the NDIS will provide more than $22 billion in funding a year to an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability. For many, it will be the first time they receive the support they need.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia's first national scheme to ndis support services Australia people with disability. It is designed to give you the supports you need to live life your way.

Using an 'insurance-based approach, informed by actuarial analysis', the NDIS aims to provide people with disability with supports that are appropriate, effective and affordable. It does this by supporting eligible participants to build their independence and increase their opportunities.

The NDIS consists of two parts: NDIS funded supports for eligible participants, and Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (or ILC which is all about connecting you with your community). These include psychosocial supports that can help people manage their everyday life, rebuild and maintain connections, engage in education or employment and participate fully in their communities.

Partners in The Community

Partners in The Community (PiTC) is a suite of services that support people with disability to make the most of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. These services include local area coordination and early childhood intervention.

Partner organisations deliver these services on behalf of the NDIS, linking you to the NDIS as well as to community and mainstream services within your local area.

They also provide assistance with accessing the NDIS as well as helping you to understand and use your plan.

The NDIS is a national program that helps you to live the life you want, choose the supports you need and participate actively in your local community. It also gives you and your family peace of mind knowing that you have the support you need to make the most of your abilities.

In order for a community partnership to succeed, it should be based on shared understanding of the problem at hand and a commitment to addressing the issue in a collaborative manner. Recruit emerging leaders and create a contract that outlines each group's role and the desired outcomes for the partnership.

NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission

The NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission is a government body, independent of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), that monitors and improves the quality and safety of NDIS services and ndis support services. They also promote the rights of participants and work with providers to ensure they are meeting their obligations.

The Commission uses the NDIS Practice Standards and the NDIS Code of Conduct Rules to regulate the way NDIS workers and providers work with people who are living with disability. This means they can’t use restrictive practices or do things that put a person’s health or safety at risk.

Restrictive practices can be harmful to a person and their family, and infringe on their human rights. The NDIS Quality & Safeguard Commission promotes positive behaviour support and reducing the use of restrictive practices to keep people safe.

From 21 February 2020, all NDIS service providers will need to check that their workers are clear from any potential risks to people who have a disability, through a national safety screening check. This will be a legal requirement for all registered providers and will apply to unregistered service providers and self-managed participants.

NDIS Advocacy Finder

As the NDIS rolls out across Australia, it’s important for your family members with disability to have their voices heard. Advocacy is about more than just writing letters or attending meetings, it’s about bringing change to government, bureaucracy and service providers.

There are many ways to advocate on your behalf including using a support person, asking a friend or family member or engaging with an external advocacy program. The NDIS aims to give you back your power by removing barriers and providing more choice and control.

A useful tool is the NDIS Advocacy Finder, which is an online portal that lists Commonwealth and state and territory funded disability advocacy agencies. These organisations are also able to assist with NDIS internal and external appeals and other useful NDIS related services. The site was developed by the Australian Government Department of Social Services and includes a number of helpful tools that will help you find the right service for your needs.

Double meaning of "Fenton Finder"

1984, There was the first man made ghost portal prototype. Following its creation and first test was a terrible incident in which all three of its creators were hospitalized, two of them coming down with a disease formerly unknown to humanity, the third became blinded in the resulting explosion.

The same year, before being properly discharged, the infected and the blinded had fled Wisconsin due to a rumor that government officials could get involved. Neither of the infected knew if they had the same disease or not as they had showed different symptoms at the time.

Aside from one distinct same symptom.

1985, Fentonworks had been established in a small town called Amity Park, its only employees were its founder himself, his wife, and his best friend. The diseases they had could be treated with what they had and had made at the time, but not cured.

1988, Jasmine Fenton was born, unbeknownst to her parents, she had contracted the same condition they had.

She had learned to hide it from them as she saw the scalpels and learned what they were for.

1990, Daniel Fenton was born, he did not carry the condition.

1994, Masters had acquired 'seeing eye birds', none of the Fentons had the heart to tell him that they were actually ghosts.

The same year, Jack Fenton came clean to Vlad Masters about an 'unusual' side effect of his condition from the old portal incident and had asked him to [REDACTED] him for a better understanding of ghost anatomy.

The same year, Maddie Fenton came clean to Vlad Masters about an 'unusual' side effect of her condition from the old portal incident and had asked him to [REDACTED] her for a better understanding of ghost anatomy.

The same year, Jasmine Fenton came clean to Vlad Masters about her condition, and begged him to never tell her parents.

2004, After two decades of proper evaluation, research, gathering more effective resources, double checking the calculations, and making sure that the ecto-purifier was in there and NOT diet cola, the three creators of the prototype now built the first, non-explosive ghost portal, only for it to not work either. Or rather, not work at first.

The same year...

---

"So Danny, you and your little friends want to hunt ghosts?"

"Uh, actually dad? I want to be an Astronaut."

"Sorry Mr. Fenton, I *was* into ghosts, but they're so mainstream now. They're like cellphones."

"Waste these looks and all this charisma hunting ghosts? criminal."

"Well, if you do want to hunt ghosts, there are a few things you need to learn..."

As the Ghost hunter's back was turned, a blue vapor escaped from Danny's mouth, something he learned meant there was an unwelcome guest most of the time.

"Oh no..."

Right as the words left his lips a pair of ghosts exited the portal, vaguely animal-like but more importantly hungry looking...

As they wrapped their spectral tendrils around Tucker and Sam, Danny had no other choice but to shift to fight them off, thankful that his father was still looking for whatever he was distracted with.

"While it is true I've never *caught* a ghost myself, when I see one, I'll be prepared. I know them inside and out on a level most ghost hunters wouldn't even believe!"

He picked up what looked like a thermos for soup just as Danny launched one of the ghosts back through the portal, turning around just as Danny zipped behind him with the other ghost.

"It all starts with your equipment. Sam, Tucker, this is the Fenton Thermos. It's supposed to trap ghosts, but as it doesn't work yet, it's just a thermos, a thermos with the word 'Fenton' on it."

Danny managed to knock the other ghost back through and switched back, sneaking back into his seat.

"And that?" He pointed at the now closed portal as he noticed Danny coming from it's direction "That is the Fenton ghost portal. It releases ghosts into our world whether I want it to or not! And someday, we'll figure out how to work those bugs out." He taps on the door before turning back to the exhausted trio. "Now, who's ready to hunt some ghosts?!"

The three didn't respond, still catching their breath.

"You kids, look at you! You're too excited to speak! So I'll just go on speaking. I was born many years ago in a log cabin in the woods. Don't exactly remember where, but I do remember I wanted a pony. Never got the pony. As a matter of fact we had to eat horse meat during the war. I had a problem with that..."

Jack continued to talk while Danny took his friends back to their homes and gnawed on the sloppy joes they had for dinner like a zombie before collapsing on his bed.

The next morning, he did his typical daytime routine and headed downstairs to find his mom working on a new invention while his uncle was making breakfast.

"Too much salt, put in another egg to balance it out." The ghostly vulture on his shoulder criticized him.

"Now it's too much egg! Put in more salt!" Another vulture responded as soon as he put the egg in.

"What, do you two think we're feeding all of America?! 'More salt, more egg' how about more common sense!?" The third chimed in. "-And more oregano."

"Then it will have too much oregano!"

"I think that what we have is too many cooks..." Vlad muttered as his vultures started squabbling amongst themselves, now relying on his nose and ears to make sure the scrambled eggs didn't burn.

Danny walked past the fighting birds to grab the milk from the fridge, ignoring his sense as his uncle's vultures were more annoyances than real threats.

"Can you hand me the cheese while you're there?" The man asked as he heard the fridge open.

"Got it."

Danny attempted to hand Vlad the block of cheese only for his arm to go intangible on him, as he noticed that the cheese hit the floor instead of going to his uncle's hand, he realized that his arm was invisible and intangible *in front of a ghost hunter* and he had to hide it so that he wouldn't see it! It was too late already, but maybe if he did it fast enough...

...

"...Um, Daniel? Is the cheese on the floor?"

Right! It was Vlad, Vlad can't see!

"Sorry!" He picked it back up with his other hand before giving it to him. "Butterfingers..."

"It landed on this side, right?"

"Yep! You got it!!" Danny half-nervously chuckled as the relief set in.

Vlad nodded and turned the cheese over to it's non-floor side as he began grading it into the eggs while Danny promptly sat himself at the table with his empty bowl, milk, and spoon, Jazz looked up from her book and handed him the box of cereal.

As he was halfway done with his breakfast, his mother put the finishing touches on the hardware of the newest ghost-related gadget.

"Okay, two more days and"

Jack walked in at just the wrong-right moment.

"-It's done!" She exclaimed.

"What did you say? It's done?" The orange clad ghost hunter held up the newly finished device triumphantly. "The Fenton Finder is done! C'mon V-man, get over here! You gotta be the first to try it!"

"What does it do?" The only non-jumpsuit wearing member of Fentonworks asked as he rotated the device in his hands, getting a feel for what it 'looked like'.

"It's basically a ghost detector!" Maddie answered. "It uses satellites to find ghosts."

"It uses what to find what?" Both Fenton kids nervously exclaimed.

"Welcome to the Fenton Finder" The machine spoke as Vlad turned it on. "A ghost is near- Several ghosts are near. You are surrounded by ghosts. You would either have to be blind or an absolutely oblivious idiot to not see all of these fucking ghosts."

"That can't be right... The only ones in this room are-" Vlad cut himself off before he accidentally revealed something he knows he shouldn't tell. "And who thought it would be funny to program it to swear?! C'mon you two, we're not in college anymore, we can't just make our machines *say* stuff like that."

"I think there might be some bugs to work out..." Maddie nervously smiled as she took the device back.

Danny's whole body went transparent, making him fall through his chair before he faded back and he jolted back up, defeated, he needed to admit the truth...

"Actually, I need to tell you guys something..."

"That's not all you need, Danny." She closed her book and put herself between the boy and the adults. "You need guidance, and parents who can provide it."

"Sweetie, we know what we do doesn't make sense sometimes, but you're only-"

"Sixteen biologically! But psychologically, I'm an adult and I will not let your insane obsession with ghosts pollute the mind of this impressionable little child!"

"...You're only two years apart." The vulture on Vlad's shoulder deadpanned.

"That doesn't matter!" She scoffed at the bird and held Danny closer to her. "Come, you abused, unwanted wretch. I'll drive you to school."

She shot her parents and uncle another glare before she left with her younger brother.

All of the Fentons are half-ghost. But they don’t know that their family members are also half ghost.

The Role of Tadbeer Visa in Hiring Domestic Workers

Hiring domestic workers in the UAE involves a series of legal steps, one of which is securing a Tadbeer visa. Tadbeer centers are government-approved service centers that regulate the hiring of domestic workers, ensuring that both employers and employees are protected under UAE law.

What is a Tadbeer Visa?

The Tadbeer visa is part of a government initiative to improve the management of domestic worker employment. It provides a more transparent and regulated process for hiring maids, ensuring that all legal requirements are met. This visa also guarantees that domestic workers are treated fairly and that their rights are upheld.

Why Choose a Tadbeer Visa?

Regulated Employment: A Tadbeer visa ensures that the employment relationship is regulated by the government, reducing the risk of exploitation and ensuring fair treatment of domestic workers.

Simplified Process: Tadbeer centers offer a streamlined visa application process, making it easier for employers to hire maids legally.

Comprehensive Services: Tadbeer centers provide a range of services, including visa processing, medical insurance, and contract management. This makes the process more convenient for employers.

By working with Maid Finder, you can ensure that the visa process is handled efficiently, allowing you to hire a domestic worker with peace of mind.

How Do Imei Number Work and its usage?   

Do you want to learn everything about IMEI trackers? If yes, you are on the right page, as you can get all the details here. Mobile phone theft is quite common in almost all cities and towns. In such a case, a code is given, known as the IMEI number, which comes in handy when finding the devices. The number will work as a unique fingerprint for the device. It can also prove completely helpful whenever you are buying a secondhand phone. You can use IMEI finder to learn the details about the phone.

What is the purpose of having an IMEI number?

The IMEI numbers have only one purpose, which is to help you understand or identify your mobile device. The secondary purpose is also to prevent theft as much as possible. A thief cannot change the SIM card on the mobile phone and expect even to get going with it if the mobile device is identified universally. IMEI numbers are hard coded on the device itself instead of the card, providing a good layer of identification that is not tied to something interchangeable. The number can be blocked when the carrier understands the device has been stolen, and it can lock it out of the network instantly. You can easily find my device with IMEI, provided you use it at the right time.

Every country has its policy for how the number works, using a block list or the allow list:

Can the government use your IMEI number to track you?

Yes, the government has an online IMEI tracker that can track you. But it all depends on whether they cannot attach any name or personal identification to the IMEI number. They would need to find out who the phone belongs to first. It is only the case with prepaid customers. As they do not sign contracts with wireless carriers, there is indeed no way to attach the face ID or card to the IMEI number. The process is entirely tedious.

Do all mobile devices feature IMEI numbers?

As counterfeit phones are not made with any regulatory compliance in mind, they lack IMEI trackers. Some devices might not have IMEI numbers, but they are illegal universally. It is impossible to contact some of the carriers if you do not have IMEI numbers, so it is not worth using mobile phones that do not have IMEI numbers.

One of the best methods of checking the IMEI number on your phone is to open the keypad and type its hashtag 06. The IMEI number must pop up on the screen in no time. You would not be able to copy or paste the number, so you need to write it down on a different page. At the same time, if you feel that this method needs to be fixed, you can visit the settings of your phone and check the status of IMEI information. If unfortunately, you are not able to find your IMEI number with any of the methods, then you need to find it only on the SIM card tray or the phone. (iphone serial number lookup)
