OVD-Info is a Moscow-based NGO that monitors politically-motivated arrests and prosecutions in Russia. Each week OVD-Info publishes a bulletin with the latest news, which is translated here. To receive the mailing in Russian, visit here.
Hello! The media outlet Proekt has been recognised as an “undesirable organisation”, its journalists have been added to the database of unreliable individuals, but the activists of SERB still maintain very much their own way of doing things.
Proekt Media has been labelled an “undesirable organisation”.
This is the investigative journalism outlet Proekt, which was registered in the U.S. Aside from this, eight independent journalists have been added to the list of foreign agents, among them the chief editor of Proekt, Roman Badanin, and his colleagues Maria Zheleznova, Peter Maniakhin, Olga Churakova, and Iulia Lukianova. Later, Proekt Media put out an announcement of its dissolution, during the streaming of which Peter Maniakhin was arrested with the help of a drone in the Altai.
- Why is this important? The attacks on independent journalism in Russia are not stopping. Soon it will be shameful not to have foreign agent status as a journalist from a self-respecting news organisation (employees of respectable human rights organisations already have foreign agent status). Proekt may be browbeaten particularly because of their recent reporting on the investigation of Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev’s property.
Dmitry Zakhvatov’s car tyres slashed by SERB activists. Posters were also pasted on the car’s windows, displaying messages of approval for the actions of law enforcement officers, accused of having abused their power by Zakhvatov when they detained several individuals during the Pussy Riot protests. SERB’s actions were a kind of response to an online post from Zakhatov, where he referred to the last words of the police officer Magomed Nurbagandov, who was murdered by members of the armed underground in the Caucasus.
- Why do I need to know this? The last words of Nurbagandov before his death were “Keep working brothers”, calling on fellow law enforcement officers not to be afraid of danger and to continue to fight terrorism. In Zakhatov’s opinion, the police, who fabricate charges against activists instead of doing actual work, are not worthy of Nurbagandov’s words. SERB activists saw this as the lawyer insulting law enforcement officers.
Deputy Ketevan Kharaidze released from a remand centre. Ketevan Kharaidze has now instead been put under house arrest. Kharaidze is accused of having committed fraud, she believes that the case is politicised and went on hunger strike to protest her imprisonment in a pre-trial detention centre. In May, the municipal deputy had announced her plan to run for the State Duma, and on 17 June security forces came to her house with a search warrant.
- Why is this important? Against the backdrop of a wave of harassment directed towards alleged prospective candidates for the State Duma elections, this looks like good news. So far, however, it is unclear how the whole ordeal is going to end, although according to prisoners’ lore, if one arrives at court on foot, then one is less likely to be given a term in prison.
OVD-Info’s complaints about facial recognition. We appealed to Tatyana Potyaeva, the Commissioner for Human Rights in Moscow, with a complaint about the actions by law enforcement agencies after the pro-Navalny demonstrations. We believe that evaluating who the participants in the demonstrations were using video surveillance and visual data gleaned from their footage violates the law and runs the risk of being seriously abused. The Commissioner replied with a message saying that she had sent complaints to the prosecutor’s office. You can get to grips with the gist of our claims here.
Thanks for reading!
Every day we take calls on our hotline, write news about politically motivated prosecutions in Russia, and publish statements, reports and podcasts. Our lawyers deal with criminal cases and write applications to the ECtHR, and our IT team is hard at work every day to make sure that our services are as convenient to use as possible. This is all thanks to your support. You can sign up to give a monthly donation to OVD-info, which will help us continue our work and put together the best newsletter for you.

Illinois Football adds a pair of defensive rookies

Illinois football has secured a pair of defensive commitments in recent days with Southern Illinois transfer safety Clayton Bush and junior college transfer rush Laine Jenkins.
Jenkins was an Oklahoma commit before reversing his commit on Friday. Bush, a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility, had 156 tackles and five interceptions during his career with the Salukis, with four pass breakups and a pick last season.
Jenkins had eight tackles as a freshman at Butler Community College in Kansas and will have three years of eligibility left. He’s a good size at 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds.
The two will give Illinois more depth next season, with Jenkins as a development prospect in an experienced rush room. Bush is the second safe transfer with Nicario Harper to help fill the void left by NFL draft picks Sydney Brown and Quan Martin. Last year’s free safety Kendall Smith also signed an undrafted free agent contract.

The document titled 'Complaint Letter to Pension Authority' is a formal complaint letter addressed to the pension or mandatory provident fund authority. The letter is written by an individual who is complaining about their ex-employer withholding their pension funds. The letter provides detailed information about the situation and requests the authority to investigate and follow up on the matter.
The letter starts with the sender's information, including their name, address, and email. It is then addressed to the customer services department of the pension authority. The sender expresses their dissatisfaction with the company and explains that they were an ex-employee of the company who left employment on a specific date.
The sender mentions that they had a pension scheme with the company, for which they did not need to make any contributions. The name of the trustee of the scheme is also provided. The main issue raised in the letter is that after leaving employment, the company has only paid the sender their leaving entitlements but has not transferred the remaining amount to their existing pension trustee.
The sender highlights that they have sent several reminders to the company through emails but have not received any reply. They have also made multiple phone calls but have been unable to reach anyone. The sender's existing trustee has also sent written reminders to the company but has not received any response.
To support their complaint, the sender encloses several documents, including their application for pension transfer form to the company, a chain of email chasers from the sender to the company, and a letter from their existing trustee to the company. The sender mentions that the process has taken an exceptionally long time, and despite their repeated attempts to contact the company, they have not received any satisfactory response.
In conclusion, the sender requests the pension authority to look into the matter and follow up on their behalf. They provide their contact details and give consent for the authority to use their personal information for the investigation. The letter is signed off with the sender's name and includes an enclosure section listing the enclosed documents.
To use the 'Complaint Letter to Pension Authority' document effectively, follow these steps:
1. Provide your information: Fill in your last name, first name, address, and email in the designated fields at the beginning of the letter. This ensures that the pension authority can contact you regarding your complaint.
2. Address the letter: Make sure to address the letter to the customer services department of the pension or mandatory provident fund authority. This ensures that your complaint reaches the appropriate department.
3. Explain the situation: Clearly state that you are complaining about your ex-employer withholding your pension funds. Provide details about your employment with the company, including the date you left. Mention the name of the trustee of your pension scheme.
4. Describe your efforts to contact the company: Explain that you have sent several reminders to the company through emails and made multiple phone calls, but have not received any response. Mention that your existing trustee has also contacted the company without success.
5. Enclose supporting documents: Attach the necessary documents to support your complaint, such as your application for pension transfer form, the chain of email chasers, and the letter from your existing trustee. Make sure to list these documents in the enclosure section.
6. Request investigation and follow-up: Clearly state that you want the pension authority to look into the matter and follow up on your behalf. Provide your contact details, including your address, phone number, and email.
7. Consent to use of personal information: Confirm your consent for the authority to use your personal information for the investigation. Also, give consent for your name to be disclosed to the company.
8. Sign off the letter: Sign the letter with your name in the designated sign block.
By following these steps, you can effectively use the 'Complaint Letter to Pension Authority' document to lodge your complaint and seek resolution for the withholding of your pension funds.

“Are most of your clients women?” This is a common question I hear when I discuss ditching the drama in leadership. I think the reason for this is because there is a common myth that women are more dramatic than men. They whine, bicker and even cry. But are women leaders bigger whiners and criers than their male counterparts? I haven’t studied women in the general population but I have worked with and coached thousands of leaders. In the realm of leadership, drama does not discriminate. The misconception that there is differentiation is fueled by a lack of true understanding of what drama looks like in the workplace.
Drama is emotional expensiveness.
Drama isn’t only crying and bickering. Drama is the overall cost of an employee to an organization. It is how expensive he or she is emotionally. Emotional expensiveness can show up in many ways including but not limited to
•Withholding critical feedback
•Talking more about people than you do to them
Many times leaders who avoid conflict are the ones creating additional drama in organizations and limiting business results due to these distractions.
The skill required to ditch the drama is gender neutral.
Any leader can call their people up to greatness. Any leader can insist that their employees ask early and often, “What can I do to help?” When leaders see their employees suffering, it takes skill (meaning it is learned and not necessarily an inborn preference) to empathize with them and yet help them see the circumstances differently so that they can go forth and conquer.
Anyone can choose to be drama free.
A happy leader is one who can restore peace and sanity to the workplace.
I have seen my share of unhappy leaders. However, the ones who go home happy and manage to achieve their business goals are the ones who choose to be happy over being right. That choice includes taking some simple steps. One of the most critical steps is insisting on teamwork. Outlaw the option of judging other team members. Instead encourage your team members to focus on doing whatever it takes to accomplish your organizational goals. And leave the bitching, moaning, and whining to someone else.
Learn more about those steps by reading Reality Based Leadership or sponsor a Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace book club with your team to help them learn more about ditching the drama and being happier at work.

I've discovered my latest love in the world of food is Almond Butter. Holy cow, (comin' from a Hindu this expression should be taken extra seriously) this stuff is delicious!
I thought Day One of my "Eat to Live" challenge would be extremely difficult. I am not addicted to much in life, but my three vices are definitely: salt, coffee and laughter... maybe not in that order... with the first two completely forbidden for this week I thought I might die. OK, so maybe not DIE, but at least I thought I might start to wilt a little. Thankfully, with the help of my favorite bakery, Ann Arbor's own, Zingerman's Bakehouse, I was able to indulge in delicious Italian Rustic bread with a generous spread of Almond Butter. Topped with slices of banana... Mmmm Mmm! I think I could eat like this everyday.
My other two meals were pretty simple as well: for breakfast I had a bowl of Greek Yogurt with a handful of raspberries and for lunch I had a bowl of whole-wheat cereal with Greek Yogurt... I know, I know, I'm so daring.
For snacks I ate one apple, one clementine and a banana (separate from the one I had with my bread).
I accidentally fell asleep in the sauna for about 45 minutes so I drank about a gallon & half of water... speaking of which... nature calls!

Ever heard of the winter blues?? Seasonal depression, also called seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a type of depression that occurs as the seasons change. This condition is especially active during the months between fall and winter. Summer depression, which is more rare, occurs between the months of late spring and early fall. During these certain times of the year, one’s attitude and mood changes. Although scientists don’t know the exact cause, the belief is that during the winter months, the lack of sunlight triggers the brain to produce less serotonin. Serotonin is the hormone that regulates mood. Serotonin deficiency or imbalances leads to depression and weight gain.
Seasonal depression is more common in women than in men. It can start occurring in early adulthood. Symptoms include feeling irritable which then transpires into negative consequences for personal relationships and work performance. Believe it or not, in countries that have more sunlight year-round, this condition is less common. Symptoms during the winter months include fatigue, increased appetite, increased need for sleep, and isolation. During the summer, the symptoms are the opposite and include poor appetite, weight loss, and trouble sleeping.
It is recommended to seeks a doctor’s help at the onset of any of these symptoms. Treatment includes the use of traditional anti-depression medications. There is only one FDA approved medication for this condition which is called Bupropion XL. This medication is aimed to reduce depressive symptoms so that major episodes do not occur. Non-medication type treatment includes getting more sunlight. Natural sunlight is best but light therapy can be used as well (phototherapy). This involves sitting about 2 feet away in front of a light for 10-15 minutes per day. This light is about 20 times brighter than normal room lighting. Depending on the body’s response, the amount of time needed may increase and be needs to be performed twice daily. The lack of sunlight is linked to the hormone called, melatonin in our body. The body’s biological clock depends on sunlight in order to regulate circadian rhythm.
Even when it’s cloudy, the sun is still there, and the body still needs sunlight. It is important to maintain a balanced healthy diet and exercise to offset seasonal depression. Keeping up with regular activities and not isolating is also important. If feelings of depression and lack of energy persist, seeking a doctor’s help is advisable. If these symptoms occur the same time each year, don’t let them take their toll again. Be proactive and openly speak to your doctor about your feelings. Winter isn’t for hibernation and the sun is still out there, maybe not generating heat, but the sky still holds it. So step outside, get your vitamin D, and smile for your health, happiness, and appreciation to experience all the seasons of the year.

Digging is such a simple operation that the very simplest tools will do an adequate job. A basic arsenal for a gardener might include a trowel, a medium-pointed shovel, a hoe, and a garden rake.
As you spend more time gardening, however, you will find that more specialized tools make working in the garden more pleasurable. To supplement your medium-pointed shovel, for example, you might add a spade for cutting soil, a square-pointed shovel for scooping loose material off a hard surface, a garden fork for turning over soil, and a scoop shovel for moving lightweight materials quickly.
Begin with a basic set of tools, then add to them as you feel the need.
Selecting Good Tools
The quality of steel used in tools for digging, raking, and weeding has much to do with the tool’s durability. Although tools are not normally stamped with the type of steel used, the following information will help you spot good steel as well as other construction features common to tools in this category:
Stainless steel is the top of the line and therefore very expensive. Its advantages are indisputable: It is very hard and virtually rust-proof, and soil will not readily stick to it.
Carbon manganese steel is used to make some of the better gardening tools in this country. Others are imported from England, which has a long history of producing high-quality gardening tools. Ask a salesperson to locate some catalogs so that you can read a detailed description of how the tools are made. Read over the comments of several firms, and compare.
Check to see how the handle is attached to the working end of the tool. On most shovels, the back of the socket does not fully enclose the handle. This “open socket” construction is of cheaper quality than the “closed socket”, which is either seamless or welded closed down the back.
Rakes and hoes usually are attached to a handle by means of the “tang-and-ferrule” system. The head ends in a long protrusion (tang) instead of a socket. This tang is fitted into a hole in the end of the handle. The handle end then is wrapped with a piece of light metal (the ferrule), which is held in place by a pin or rivet. The tang can become loose, either through use or because the handle cracks or rots near its end. This loosening then causes the head of the tool to loosen. On better tools, the head and socket are made from a single piece of steel, and the handle is fitted into the socket.
Inspect the wooden handle. It should be made from straight-grained ash or hickory, and it should be smooth and free of any knots or blemishes. For maximum strength, the grain in the handle should run in the same direction as the direction of the force or pressure that’s exerted on the tool during use. The handle should fit tightly and evenly into the socket or ferrule. If the head wiggles or if any of the workmanship looks careless, the tool will not last, even under normal use.
Try Before You Buy
Tools such as shovels, rakes, picks, and hoes vary in terms of weight and balance. If you already have one or more of these tools, you probably already know each one’s particular weight and balance and feel quite comfortable with it. A different tool might feel strange and uncomfortable in your hands. So if it’s time to replace an old, comfortable tool, try to find one of the same make and size as the original.
If you are about to buy a tool for the very first time, start out by renting one or borrowing a neighbor’s. Try several different sizes and lengths until you find one that feels right to you, then buy one like it.
A certain tool may come in many different sizes and lengths. Evaluate each tool’s features in terms of your own needs before you buy. And be realistic about your strength. A tool that is too heavy will make gardening a burdensome chore rather than the pleasure it might otherwise be.


Rethink Zoning was multi-year initiative to update and simplify the City’s zoning code. The previous version of the City’s zoning code was adopted in 1989. The world and Everett have changed significantly since that time.
On November 4th, the Everett City Council approved the package of Rethink Zoning amendments to the comprehensive plan and Everett Municipal Code. The adopted codes and other background documents can be found in our Rethink Zoning Library. Maps can be found in our Maps library. The adopted codes and maps will be effective on November 24, 2020.
The first phase of Rethink Zoning has been completed with the City Council's approval of the plan and code amendments on November 4, 2020. Due to COVID-19, amendments to single-family zones, including zone consolidation and new housing types, was put on hold. These discussions will resume with Rethink Housing in late 2020 and the first half of 2021. At that time, additional amendments may move forward in "Rethink 2.0".

Dr. Jamie Goodall is an expert on the history of pirates. A PhD in History and staff historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History in Washington, D.C., Goodall has researched, written and lectured extensively on pirates in the Atlantic world, primarily in the Caribbean.
Her new book, Pirates of the Chesapeake Bay: From the Colonial Era to the Oyster Wars, chronicles the pirates, privateers and smugglers who once operated in the Chesapeake Bay region beginning in 1630 and ending in 1959. The region encompasses both Maryland and Virginia, with the Chesapeake Bay extending two hundred miles from Havre de Grace, MD in the north to Virginia Beach, VA in the south.
The book covers groups who aided and targeted pirates such as merchants, government officials and local residents. Goodall’s book includes chapters on the involvement of pirates and privateers in a number of major conflicts in American history including the American Revolution, War of 1812 and Civil War. The book also sheds light on the Oyster Wars, a series of conflicts from 1868 to 1959 between oyster pirates, legal watermen and the Maryland state government appointed-Oyster Navy over the oyster harvesting conflict in the Chesapeake Bay region.
Goodall, a former Assistant Professor of History at Stevenson University in Baltimore County, was inspired to write this book after meeting with an editor from The History Press at a history conference in Baltimore. Recounting her meeting with the editor, Goodall told Patch, “she loved my research focus. So she asked if I’d be interested in working on a book that focused on the Chesapeake Bay region. Since I was living in Maryland I thought it would make the perfect case study of pirates.”
In her book, Goodall tells the story of notable pirates who frequented the Chesapeake Bay region, including Captain Kidd and Blackbeard. She also covers lesser-known figures such as Louis Guittar, a French pirate who amassed a large fortune by attacking merchant vessels laden with valuable goods coming out of Lynnhaven Bay inlet in Virginia. According to Goodall, “Guittar ultimately met a grisly end. The king [of Great Britain] went on a hanging spree. Many of those hanging in the winter and spring of 1701 were the Frenchmen of the La Paix. In a single day, Guittar and 23 of his men were hanged. Clearly the King was feeling less than charitable.”
Goodall’s book was released just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States. The virus has posed a number of challenges in promoting the new release to the public, including the cancellation of book signings and talks, such as one scheduled at the Maryland Renaissance Festival this summer. Despite these setbacks, Goodall has been able to participate in a number of digital talks that have helped in building public awareness of her book.
When asked if she has any plans to write another book on pirates, Goodall told Patch, “I’m currently working on a National Geographic bookazine about piracy and shipwrecking in a global context due out in April 2021 and a book on pirates of the mid-Atlantic (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware) through The History Press due out sometime in 2022!”
Pirates of the Chesapeake Bay: From the Colonial Era to the Oyster Wars was published by The History Press, and is available through all book sellers, including Amazon, and at your local bookstore via IndieBound.org. You can learn more about Dr. Jamie Goodall on her website http://jamiegoodall.com/

The One Palestinian State project was not just a slogan raised by Arab national liberation movements, led by Abdel Nasser, in the sixties of the last century, but rather an integrated political vision based on the refusal to divide Palestine between Arabs and Jews, and adherence to one secular / civil state in historic Palestine, living on its land Muslims, Christians and Jews.
Although the two-state solution remained the basis of the settlement after the defeat of 67 and the victory of 73, then President Sadat entered into peace negotiations with Israel, followed by the PLO joining the path of a peaceful settlement, which resulted in the Oslo agreement that also started from the two-state solution.
Israel has been evading the implementation of this solution, and it did not implement United Nations Resolution 242, which stipulates the withdrawal of Israel from the territories it occupied in the 1967 war and calls for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Since the beginning of the third millennium, Israel has expanded settlement building and annexation of lands from the West Bank, and has Judaized Jerusalem, and Trump’s settlement plan came to eliminate any real opportunity to implement a two-state solution that was rejected by a limited stream of Israelis and 107 democratic representatives in Congress, alongside the European Union Commission, and did not The refusal of Fatah and Hamas changes little of the current power balances, because their division remained one of the main reasons behind Trump’s presentation of this plan without any Palestinian or Arab partner in it.
In fact, the two-state solution is practically impossible, but the question: Is it more feasible for Arabs and Palestinians to present the one-state motto as the ultimate goal of the Palestinian struggle, even if it is difficult instead of the two-state solution, which has become more difficult?
The one-state goal is not just a slogan for local consumption added to other slogans raised by the Arabs to discharge it and its result was more failure, because adopting this goal requires difficult entitlements and options that may be made by another generation other than ours, and is based first on the shift from a mobilization discourse to fight Israel to a civil discourse It works to build a state of equality and full citizenship in historical Palestine, which is not easy and requires a change in the Jewish nature of the state that Netanyahu set as a constitutional and legal basis for Israel.
What is certain is that the defenders of this project will be mostly Arabs of 1948, and with them a segment of Israelis voted tens of thousands of them for the Arab list in the recent elections, and this means in Arabic to communicate with these, which is still forbidden and condemned according to the Arab discourse rejecting normalization, and Hamas’s rejection of the Jews.
The one-state project has many benefits that many of us (including this writer) are still not prepared to do, because they will not change what they were brought up for decades in years.

Kevin Rushby reports in The Guardian on a new style of tourism in the Yucatan Peninsula that promotes “home stays” with local residents.
After dinner, Juanito and I sit drinking beer. Outside is all the clamour of the jungle night. We talk about the big hotels on the Yucatán coast, an hour away by bus. Had he ever been inside one of them? Juanito is 64 and has twice been president of the village tourism co-operative, but he shakes his head. “I’ve heard about them from local people who go and work there, but I’ve never visited.”
The Yucatán peninsula’s east coast is one of the world’s biggest beach destinations, attracting more than five million visitors in 2015. It stretches south from Cancún (“nest of snakes” in Mayan) for about 80 miles to Tulum, and much of the coastal highway is lined with massive hotels, each attempting to outdo the rest in grandiosity: from minimalist chic to monumental mock Maya, a plaster pastiche that might impress 10-year-old Indiana Jones fans.
The irony is that on these colossal sites, where every opportunity to mine the local heritage is taken, the nearest visitors get to real Mayan culture is in the unseen room cleaner. And that person has probably travelled from a village in the jungle like the one where I’m staying.
Juanito’s house, called Takkbil’ja, near the town of X-Can, does not much resemble those palaces. There are two buildings, one with a tin roof and the other thatched. There’s a flock of noisy chickens (climbing a tree for the night). And there is Juanito, a widower, and his grandchildren, who he is bringing up. They all sleep in hammocks under the thatch. And now there is a room for visitors – of which I am the first. The guestroom has bright blue walls, a cupboard and a big bed. This is the humble start of an ambitious effort to bring the benefits of tourism to the real Maya, to living people who have seen scant reward from an industry largely owned by outsiders.

Living in Dubai means facing scorching heat for a significant part of the year. In this challenging climate, having a well-functioning air conditioning (AC) system is not just a luxury but a necessity. Your AC system keeps you cool and comfortable indoors while the sun blazes outside. However, like any complex machinery, AC systems require regular maintenance to ensure they continue to operate efficiently. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the world of AC maintenance prices in Dubai, dissecting various service categories and unraveling the factors that influence the price you pay.
The Crucial Role of AC Maintenance
Your AC system is more than just a machine; it’s your escape from the relentless heat of Dubai. Think of it as your trusted companion, working tirelessly to create a comfortable oasis within your home or office. But here’s the catch: just like any companion, your AC system needs care and attention to perform at its best. AC maintenance is akin to taking your car for a regular check-up or visiting the doctor for an annual physical. It’s about preventative care to avoid potential problems down the road.
When an AC system is well-maintained, it not only cools the air but also ensures optimal energy efficiency. An efficiently running AC unit consumes less electricity, which translates to lower utility bills. Moreover, regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your AC system, saving you from the expense of premature replacement.
Navigating the AC Maintenance Landscape in Dubai
Dubai’s climate presents a unique challenge for AC systems. With temperatures that often soar above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) during summer, AC units in Dubai work tirelessly to create a comfortable environment. As a result, a thriving AC maintenance industry has emerged in the city, dedicated to keeping these essential systems running smoothly.
AC maintenance companies in Dubai are equipped to handle a wide range of tasks, from routine inspections to complex repairs. These companies understand the specific needs of AC systems in the region and offer tailored services to ensure peak performance.
Unveiling the Average AC Maintenance Price in Dubai
The AC maintenance price in Dubai is a question in many residents’ minds. On average, basic AC maintenance services, which typically include cleaning, inspection, and minor repairs, start at around AED 150 per hour. However, this is a general estimate, and the actual price can vary based on several factors.
Factors that Shape AC Maintenance Costs
Types of AC Systems
AC systems come in various shapes and sizes, each with its unique components and intricacies. For instance, split AC systems have an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, while central AC systems rely on a network of ducts to distribute cool air. These differences in design and functionality can affect the complexity of maintenance tasks and, subsequently, the cost.
While simpler systems might require less time and effort to maintain, more advanced systems with intricate components and wiring may demand specialized expertise. As a result, maintenance costs can vary significantly based on the type of AC system you own.
Scope of Services
AC maintenance isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal. Service packages range from basic to comprehensive, encompassing various tasks to ensure your AC functions optimally. A basic package might cover essential cleaning and visual inspections, while a comprehensive package could include tasks like cleaning coils, lubricating motors, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting electrical components.
When considering the cost of maintenance, it’s crucial to understand the services included in the package. A higher upfront cost for a comprehensive package might translate to better long-term performance and reduced chances of unexpected breakdowns.
Urgency of Service
Imagine this scenario: it’s the peak of summer in Dubai, and suddenly, your AC stops working. You need help, and you need it fast. Emergency AC repair services come to the rescue in such situations, offering immediate assistance to restore your cooling comfort.
However, quick response times come at a price. Emergency services often involve higher costs due to the prioritization and immediate availability of technicians. On the other hand, regularly scheduled maintenance, performed before the scorching heat hits, might come at a more budget-friendly price.
Expertise and Reputation
In a competitive market like Dubai, AC maintenance companies strive to stand out by delivering exceptional service and building a reputation for reliability. Choosing a reputable company with a proven track record may come with a slightly higher price tag. However, this investment often pays off in terms of quality workmanship, prompt service, and the peace of mind that your AC system is in capable hands.
Reputable companies invest in training their technicians, staying updated with industry advancements, and using high-quality equipment and materials. While you might pay a bit more upfront, the long-term benefits in terms of AC performance and durability make it a worthwhile investment.
A Closer Look at Specialized AC Repair Services
AC Cooling Repair Services: Tackling Inadequate Cooling
One of the most common AC issues in Dubai is inadequate cooling. When your AC fails to provide the refreshing relief you need, it’s time to consider cooling repair services. These services involve diagnosing and rectifying issues that affect the cooling efficiency of your AC system.
Problems that can lead to inadequate cooling include low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or poor air circulation. Repairing these issues may involve topping up refrigerant, fixing compressor problems, or ensuring proper airflow through cleaning and maintenance of vents and filters.
The cost of cooling repair services can vary based on the complexity of the problem and the time required for diagnosis and resolution. While addressing these issues might incur a cost, the improvement in cooling performance and energy efficiency can lead to long-term savings.
AC Thermostat Repair Services: Regulating Indoor Comfort
The thermostat is the brain behind your AC system, responsible for maintaining the desired indoor temperature. A malfunctioning thermostat can disrupt your comfort and lead to energy wastage. If you notice temperature fluctuations or find it challenging to achieve the desired level of cooling, it might be time for thermostat repair services.
Thermostat problems can range from inaccurate temperature readings to complete failure to regulate the AC system. Repairing or replacing a thermostat involves technical expertise to ensure accurate calibration and integration with the rest of the system.
The cost of thermostat repair services depends on factors such as the type of thermostat, the nature of the problem, and the labor involved. While it’s essential to address thermostat issues promptly, understanding the cost and potential benefits of repair can guide your decision.
AC Noise Repair Services: Quieting the Clatter
Your AC system should be a silent partner, providing cool air without causing a ruckus. However, if you hear unusual noises coming from your AC, it’s a sign that something might be amiss. Noises like rattling, buzzing, or grinding could indicate mechanical problems, loose components, or wear and tear within the system.
Addressing AC noise issues involves a systematic approach to diagnosing the source of the noise and implementing the necessary repairs. Technicians may need to inspect fans, motors, belts, and other moving parts to identify and resolve the problem.
The cost of AC noise repair services depends on the complexity of the issue, the time required for diagnosis, and the extent of repairs needed. While it might be tempting to ignore strange noises, timely attention can prevent further damage and potentially higher costs down the line.
AC Coil Cleaning Repair Services: Enhancing Cooling Efficiency
Coils play a crucial role in the heat exchange process that enables your AC to cool the air. Over time, these coils can accumulate dirt, dust, and debris, hindering their ability to transfer heat efficiently. Dirty coils not only reduce cooling efficiency but also strain the entire AC system, leading to higher energy consumption and potential breakdowns.
AC coil cleaning repair services involve a thorough cleaning of both the evaporator and condenser coils. Cleaning these coils requires specialized tools and expertise to ensure the effective removal of dirt and debris without damaging the delicate fins.
The cost of coil cleaning services can vary based on factors such as the accessibility of the coils, the level of dirt buildup, and the time required for cleaning. Investing in regular coil cleaning can lead to improved cooling efficiency, reduced energy bills, and a longer lifespan for your AC system.
In the scorching heat of Dubai, a well-maintained air conditioning system is not just a luxury but a vital necessity. AC maintenance prices in Dubai may vary based on services offered, unit size, and repair requirements, but the benefits far outweigh the costs. Investing in regular AC maintenance ensures not only optimal cooling but also enhances energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and the overall lifespan of your system.
When considering AC maintenance, remember that the initial investment is a small price to pay for the long-term comfort and cost savings it brings. We at Al Aksa UAE are your partners in AC maintenance, offering professional services that will help you enjoy the full potential of your AC unit while avoiding unnecessary expenses in the future.
Don’t wait until the heat becomes unbearable – take action now and ensure your AC system’s optimal performance for years to come. Contact us today to schedule your AC maintenance and experience the difference firsthand.

Home Affairs Select Committee chairman Keith Vaz is urging the Government to conduct a "full study" into the impact of the lifting of the access restrictions between the UK and Bulgaria and Romania. He said:
A report conducted by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research into the impact of migration to the UK from Bulgaria and Romania concluded that the impact on public services would be "modest", only potentially increasing if migrants choose to settle in the UK on a long-term basis.
In the areas of schools, the NHS and housing the report said:
Families migrating from the two countries could put pressure on primary school places and although migrant children do not bring school performance down, language assistance will need to be provided.
The widespread public perception that migration from Romania and Bulgaria will put pressure on social housing is not backed up by evidence to date, the NIESR report said.
It added the effect on housing is highly dependent on whether migrants settle in the long-term, but evidence from local surveys showed that while Romanians and Bulgarians are interested in coming to the UK...Many are interested in temporary stays rather than long-term moves.
But initially, future migrants are likely to be young, low-skilled workers, who do not have families, the report said
Because most migrants will be young - mainly under-35 - and healthy, they will have a minimal impact on the health service, it said.
Fears an influx of Romanians and Bulgarians to Britain will put a strain on public services have been downplayed in an independent report, published by the Foreign Office.
But the number that may arrive on UK shores after immigration restrictions are lifted next year remains unpredictable, according to the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) study.
Schools were likely to take much of the strain but the effect on the NHS, the housing sector and the welfare system will be less pronounced, it said.
Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union in 2007 but under "transitional arrangements" workers from the two countries were prevented from travelling to the UK.

Make no mistake: Being San Francisco police chief is a political job. But though public outcry cost former San Francisco police Chief Greg Suhr his post, San Francisco's citizens have little say in directly selecting who leads the department, because unlike the offices of sheriff or district attorney, the police chief is appointed by Mayor Ed Lee.
On the surface, it might seem contradictory to elect a sheriff while appointing a police chief. Both are top law enforcement positions, both are inherently bureaucratic, and require dealing with the same people at City Hall and in the streets.
But this is the way it's always been done, even if it doesn't have to be.
“If the chief of police was elected, I guarantee you that you'd have better results,” Mike Slade, a retired police lieutenant still active in SFPD charity work, tells SF Weekly. “You wouldn't have someone hanging onto the job, fearful of the mayor. You'd have someone saying, 'I don't care what you think — I'll do what's best for my officers and best for the community.' “
Recent San Francisco history offers a prime example of the merits of appointed versus elected law enforcers. In 2012, former sheriff Ross Mirkarimi was sworn in under the dark cloud of domestic violence accusations. Strong arguments were made that because of the scandal involving his wife, he was never going to keep the job beyond his first term — and he didn't, though he did survive a lengthy disciplinary process.
Now take this same scenario and apply it to the police chief. Had a brand-new police chief been in Mirkarimi's situation, would he or she have kept the job, or been summarily removed?
It's impossible to say, but at least the option exists for someone — in this case, the mayor — to immediately make that decision. And what that does is remove politics from the equation.
At least one elected leader thinks this is the way it should be.
“We should not politicize the department by making the chief an elected position,” says Supervisor Jane Kim, an outspoken critic of Greg Suhr. Kim had publicly appealed for his ouster before the chief was pressured to resign last week. “The solution is to make sure we elect leaders at every level who will hold the chief, and every department head, fully accountable.”
There is something tantalizing in the notion of giving the people the power to pick their police chief. Any city could do it, if that city went through a time-consuming and expensive process to change the city charter.
But as California's same-sex marriage ban in 2008 proved, voters make mistakes and those mistakes can be difficult to reverse. And even if the job were up for election, there's no guarantee anyone would care. Santa Clara is the only city in California that elects its police chief. And the last time the position was up for election, in 2012, Michael Sellers ran unopposed.

Erasmus + : a program for education, training, youth and sport
Erasmus + is the EU program in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. Education, training, youth and sport can play a key role in addressing socio-economic changes, which are the main challenges Europe will face until the end of the decade, and to support the implementation of the European policy agenda for growth, jobs, equity and social inclusion.
Fighting the rise in the unemployment rate, especially among young people, has become one of the most urgent tasks for European governments. Too many young people drop out of school early, putting them at increased risk of becoming unemployed and socially marginalized. The same risk threatens a high number of low-skilled adults. Europe needs more inclusive and homogenous societies, which enable citizens to play an active role in democratic life. Learn more …

This piece was created with the idea of “Out of Africa”. I saw a Giraffe laying on the grass on a visit to a nature reserve near us with my son a few years ago. I always wanted to create an image with it.
The idea came together with photos I took in the Karoo, semi-desert in Spring, with the seasonal flowers.
A giraffe laying down, unusual and tranquil. Combine this with horizontal lines the flower made and the little puddle and I had a base for my image. I wanted my son the fit in against the giraffe, but look out into the scene, not at me, leaving a multitude of things open to the viewer to think about.

The three appeal judges unanimously rejected her bid to overturn an order giving the father joint residency of the children a boy of ten and girl of seven.
And the adults were told to put aside their differences in the interests of the two young children.
The father met the mother after he placed an advert in Gay Times magazine in 1999 which read "Gay guy wants to be a Dad. White, handsome, solvent 30s, professional, in happy relationship, non-scene, has everything but kids."
It continued: "Looking for a similar female couple who want to have kids. I require little involvement, I have a lot to offer."
Lady Justice Black sitting with Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger and Lord Justice Patten, said the mother identified only as M to protect the identity of the children, was in a relationship with another woman L.
The father F had the same male partner for 25 years and both relationships were stable and long standing.
They met following his advert because M And L wanted children. After the children were born following artificial insemination in 2000 and 2003 they lived primarily with the mother and her partner, but the father has been a presence in their lives through contact and in other ways, said the judge.
She added: "Unfortunately, relationships between M, F and L deteriorated and proceedings in court were eventually started."
In June County Court Recorder Simon Barker QC granted a joint residency order allowing the children to stay with their father for a total of 152 days a year. The mothers partner was given parental responsibility over the children.
But the mother was unhappy, sought to set aside the joint residency and reduce the time the children spent with their father.
Her counsel June Venters QC argued that the children needed to know which was their permanent home with the mother and her partner considering they were the parents, and the partner being "marginalised" by the order.
She said the two women found the father "domineering and controlling" and wanted the children to be very clear that they were "a family".
But in dismissing the mother's appeal the judge said the Recorder had told the couple to "put aside their differences" in the interests of the children.
She said he told them: "If the adults do not manage to resolve things by communicating with each other, the children inevitably suffer and the adults may also pay the price when the children are old enough to be aware of what has been going on.
"It is a great shame that that sound advice does not appear to have been heeded. It is a great privilege to be involved in bringing up a child. Childhood is over all too quickly and, whilst I appreciate that both sides think that they are motivated only by concern for the children, it is still very sad to see it being allowed to slip away whilst energy is devoted to adult wrangles and to litigation.
"What is particularly unfair it that the legacy of a childhood tainted in that way is likely to remain with the children into their own adult lives."
The appeal judges agreed to alter the order with agreement of the father to allow the mothers partner to be added to the joint residency order in case anything happened to the mother.

In 2010, some time after his marriage turned into a divorce, Rocco Versaci set out on a road trip. Not any old road trip, but a bicycle ride across the United States. He was not a long-distance biker prior to his decision; it sounded like a fun challenge to him. He researched bikes and bought one he liked, naming it Rusty. He planned his route and his trip began in San Diego with a set goal of a certain number of miles each day. That Hidden Road: a Memoir is Versaci’s account of his trip, not only across the country, but also through his life. Interspersed with his descriptions of his travels are descriptions of how his life reached the point where he was out on this trek, skipping around through his childhood, college, and marriage, as well as stories about his sons and about the lives of his parents. Along the way in his journey, he meets an assortment of characters who help him out, give him needed or unneeded advice or simply sit with him for awhile. All of their stories add to and blend in with his.
Versaci’s writing style is open and accessible. His personal stories flash with tempered honesty as suggested by the title of his second chapter, “Mistah Secrets,” rich with images of his planned and unplanned deceptions. Descriptive of the events and his part in them, these stories are never bogged down in apologies, bragging, or platitudes. He also interweaves the history and geography of the territory through which he is traveling. That Hidden Road: a Memoir is a wonderful mix of personal history, travelogue, adventure, and reflection. It flows at a comfortable pace from one story to the next, peppered with subtle humor.
