Before arriving to the point we are now, I asked myself this question many times, why not publish the game ourselves? Most of the new game designers, when they are ready to publish a game, try to find a publisher to get their games on the market. It’s the classic way to proceed as it’s similar to the procedure of publishing a book with editors. It has the advantage for the designers of sparing all the steps of production, distribution, and marketing, as those are hard aspects to manage. So, why have we decided to start a new board game company? Read this to discover 4 of those reasons!
Of course, before starting Sphere Games, me, Simon Bélanger and Simon Touzel have been playing board games for many years and we are passionate about them. We realized over the last few years the great diversity of games available on the market, and then came the idea of BrilliAnts. We think this point is a must if we want to succeed and share this passion with you! Since we have played a great variety of games, we were able to focus on things we like about games to create one that we believe will be fun for most of people!
As for many of you, we’ve been thinking for a couple of years to start a new company, but we needed a good idea to do so. At first, when I developed BrilliAnts, I didn’t think we would publish the game ourselves, I was just doing it for fun. But then, talking to many people, I saw it raised an interest to most of them and the two Simon told me they wanted to participate in this project. As we are young (at least in our hearts ;)) and have the time to invest in such an idea, we decided to jump in! Many could see the obstacles we’ll have to face as discouraging, but we see them as exciting problems to solve that will help us learn and become better individuals. We are aware that many challenges await us, as we’ve already realized in the game development, but climbing a mountain wouldn’t be fun and rewarding if it wasn’t hard!
In the recent years, with the expand of internet and websites like kickstarter, making the publicity for a project and reaching many people across the world have become much more accessible than it has ever been. Nowadays, a lot of board games are getting published by individuals via the use of crowd funding sites and it made us realize that even though it is not an easy task, it is possible to achieve it! In fact, board games are one of the most successfully funded products on kickstarter and every year more and more projects come to life. So, why not try it ourselves?
When a game publisher accepts your game, they can change many things in the game mechanics, art, and the way you play it. We wanted to be more independent in the game process development to keep the game the way we designed it. As well, if you sell your project to a publisher, they control the print runs and the marketing, so there’s a possibility of long delays between print runs and you cannot do anything about it. Of course there are a lot more risks to doing it ourselves, but at least if it works we will have more control over the ways to use our resources and promote the product!
There are many other reasons behind starting Sphere Games, but those are, I think, the 4 major ones. Before closing this small article, to answer another question that some of you might have, why have we decided to name the company Sphere Games? We chose that name because it is simple, easy to remember and applicable to all kinds of products. One of our goals is to eventually bring entertainment to anyone, no matter where they live around the globe, so Sphere as a name encompasses that. It also leaves us the option to venture into other spheres of entertainment such as puzzles, games, and toys! But first, let’s focus on BrilliAnts since we need your support and 100% of our initial effort in that project if we want to have a chance to succeed!

David Horowitz, a former Marxist intellectual of the New Left of the 1960s, is taking his show — the annual anti-Muslim Restoration Weekend he’s been leading since 2012 — to Charleston, S.C., the site of June’s racist massacre of nine black churchgoers. In that town, Horowitz’s citing the Council of Conservative Citizens on his website might have some horrific resonance.
In the years since the Al Qaeda attacks of 2001, David Horowitz, a former Marxist intellectual of the New Left of the 1960s, has been on a tear against Islam. He has savaged all kinds of Muslim groups and leaders, created a McCarthyite program aimed at driving university professors not sufficiently down on Islam out of their jobs, and insisted that progressives are working to subvert America.
But Horowitz’s anti-racism credentials are weak at best.
Now, Horowitz has gone one better.
In an Oct. 28 fundraising letter for his DiscoverTheNetworks— a factually challenged site dedicated to mapping the alleged connections between progressives of all stripes — Horowitz brags about his work. “Want to find out the truth about taboo subjects such as interracial crime? Look it up on DiscoverTheNetworks. The entries themselves are impeccably sourced, rhetorically neutral,” he writes.
Let’s take Horowitz up on his suggestion and take a look at his sourcing on the “taboo” subject of interracial crime. Just last year, he added source links under that topic header to what certain people — the Ku Klux Klan, for instance — believe is a great source on interracial crime: the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC). A direct descendant of the segregationist White Citizen Councils of the 1950s and 1960s, the CCC opposes “all efforts to mix the races of mankind,” describes black people as a “retrograde species of humanity,” and reprints, complete with lurid rewritten headlines, virtually any story it can find featuring black criminals.
Another link provided by Horowitz is to articles on a website known as VDARE — a racist anti-immigration site which is named after Virginia Dare, said to be the first white person born in America. The site is run by Peter Brimelow, who has ranted about America’s “demographic mutation,” pontificated on the horrors of multiracial crowds in New York, and fretted about his blond son’s future.
This week, in an ironic twist, Horowitz is taking his show — the annual anti-Muslim Restoration Weekend he’s been leading since 2012 — to Charleston, S.C., the site of June’s racist massacre of nine black churchgoers. In that town, Horowitz’s lauding of the CCC’s “Memorial Wall" page has special, horrific resonance.
That’s because Dylann Roof, the young man who carried out that massacre, left behind a manifesto describing his transformation into a racist killer — a change that began, according to the manifesto, after Roof typed the words “black on white crime” into the Google search engine and came upon the CCC website.
“I have never been the same since that day,” Roof wrote.
Let’s hope that the good people of Charleston, along with those of the rest of the United States, treat David Horowitz and his racist road show, which runs this Thursday through Sunday, with the same disgust and disdain that met Dylan Roof, another serious fan of the CCC.

Having an understanding of Webb’s four levels of Depth of Knowledge will help greatly as teachers adjust their planning to better meet the requirements of the Common Core State Standards. For many of us, I think, asking students to work at the deeper levels of understanding just makes sense, and fits what we know about how students learn best.
To answer the question or solve the problem, at what level do students need to think? Are they giving back an answer they’ve heard or read (Level 1), or are they coming up with something new (Level 4)? Are they organizing information (Level 2) or are they critiquing it (Level 3)?
Memorizing a long passage of text is difficult, but it’s still just memorizing.
Differentiate the text students read. Differentiate the materials they use. Differentiate the means of assessing. Every student should be working with high-quality materials and text that are appropriately challenging. With those, give EVERY student in your class chances to work at all four DOK levels.
Much of what we do at school is at these levels. If you can use an answer key to assess their work, the students probably haven’t had to work past Level 1 or 2.
Look for opportunities to use open-ended questions and projects that require students to pull together information from multiple sources and that don’t necessarily have right or wrong answers.
Which catering company should be used to provide food for the school fundraiser?
Which Civil War battle had the most significant impact on American history?
Typically, work at these levels happens over a period of time, during which students gather information, analyze results and discuss findings. The more this work connects to real life, the better.

Gold bars and rounds represent some of the simplest forms of physical gold, as they are generally valued closer to the melt value of gold than most other products on the market. Struck by private mints, they hold no legal tender and often have a fineness of at least 0.995.
Gold bars are generally produced with the name of the issuing organization engraved onto their face. Measured in troy ounces, the most common is the one ounce gold bar. However, gold bars are produced in a variety of sizes, such as one kilogram, 100 grams, 50 grams, 20 grams and 10 grams.
Gold rounds are distinguished from other coins by the fact that they are not authorized by government mints; instead, they are struck by private mints. They tend to be designed artistically (like government-minted coins) and come in a number of different sizes, such as 1/10 ounces, 1/4 ounces, and 1/2 ounces.
Any gold bars or rounds that contain a fineness of at least 0.995 are eligible for placement in a Precious Metals IRA.

Starting a student organization can be a rewarding experience. A group of 5+ Loyola University Chicago students may apply for organization registration through Student Activities & Greek Affairs (SAGA). The University reserves the right to limit the number of organizations with duplicate purposes. By registering your student organization with SAGA, your organization may take advantage of campus resources to promote your organization, recruit members, hold meetings, and support other activities. Review of applications happens once a semester (late September and late January).
To be eligible for consideration, new organization applications must be submitted via LUCentral by that semester's posted deadline.
As the review cycle nears, your organization will be assigned a time to meet with the review panel. This hearing will give the review panel an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed organization, and for the applicants to ask questions of the panel.
If the application is approved, organization representatives will be required to attend a new student organization orientation. Your approval as an organization is contingent upon mandatory attendance at new student organization orientation.

We are writing to you ahead of the Spring Budget to present a number of proposals that will support the government’s goal of strengthening the economy and building a shared society.
We were encouraged by the Prime Minister’s speech to the Charity Commission in which she set out her vision of a Britain that works for everyone and not just the privileged few. The charities, social enterprises and community groups that make up the voluntary sector will be central to the successful delivery of this vision. Whether through improving the life chances of vulnerable people, providing a voice for the disenfranchised or enabling people to shape their communities, the voluntary sector is a force for social change.
As a vehicle for economic growth and innovation, civil society contributes £12.2 billion annually as Gross Value Added to the British economy. That is equal to the contribution of the country’s whole agricultural sector, while social enterprises have increased the number of new products available by 59%, compared to the 38% developed by SMEs. The sector is also a major employer with 827,000 employees across the country, in addition to mobilising 14.2 million volunteers whose contributions are worth £24 billion per year to the UK. It is clear that the sector plays a vital role, the benefits of which extend far beyond the services delivered.
The latest data shows that through their fundraising activities, charities raise £11 billion in voluntary income through donations and legacies. This is spent on delivering services and supporting communities across the country, in many cases underpinning the work of other public services. They are often supporting people who have been left behind and individuals that statutory agencies have been unable to reach, as well as delivering preventative interventions which save public money in the long term.
However, voluntary organisations are facing the triple challenge of increasing pressure on funding, increasing and more complex demand, and growing uncertainty for the future. Brexit only adds to these pressures as European funding is thrown into question.
Charities, particularly small charities with an income under £1 million, are under threat. Yet they are key to building a shared society and delivering services that achieve the long term value our economy demands. At this time of considerable financial pressure, it is essential that any tax and spending decisions work for this sector which delivers so much – at the very least, charities should have access to the support directed at businesses. The upcoming Budget presents an opportunity to bring the tax system up-to-date. The proposals presented in the enclosed document will support charities by reducing the tax burden, allowing charitable income to be used as intended - to address the challenges our society currently faces.
Reduce Irrecoverable VAT for charities. The current VAT system costs the charity sector £1.5 billion. Resources meant for public benefit should not be wasted due to complexities within a system that was designed without the unique position of charities in mind.
Increase mandatory charitable non-domestic business rate relief to 100% - With the proposed £6.7 billion cuts to rate relief for businesses we could be in a situation where charities are paying more in business rates than businesses, thereby resulting in charitable funds subsidising private profit. The move to increase charitable rate relief to 100% would put civil society on an equal footing.
Increase pay back of National Insurance Contributions for charities – This is to specifically address the additional cost of the National Living Wage incurred by charities. This would provide support relative to that currently enjoyed by private businesses (through measures such as corporation tax cuts) to the voluntary sector.
Lower the Insurance Premium Tax for charities to 6% – IPT has increased by 100% in the last 18 months to 12%. This is estimated to cost the sector £87 million per year. By introducing a lower rate charities could save millions of pounds every year that could be spent on delivering public benefit.
We have also outlined two spending proposals that we believe should be considered ahead of the budget.
Adopt a strategic approach to voluntary sector funding – Since 2013 the government has committed some £550 million of Libor fines to good causes. Our proposal calls for the government to ensure future funding for voluntary organisations outside of normal departmental spending (such as Libor fines) is distributed on an impartial basis according to the sector’s strategic needs. This is as opposed to individual charity giveaways.
Increase funding for the Charity Commission – We propose the government increase funding to the charity sector to fully cover the cost of delivering the Commission’s support and regulatory functions.
We hope that you take our proposals on board in the upcoming budget and will work with the voluntary sector to strengthen the economy and build a truly shared society.
Children England is part of an unprecedented coalition of children’s organisations call on Government to put children and young people at the heart of its spending decisions.

An inventory list is important and is a document that gives security for both the landlord and tenant. It establish an agreed upon state of what was in the apartment and how the apartment looked like in the beginning of the sublet. Here you can download Qasa's inventory list and inspection protocol to make sure everything is being considered.
Many sublets are furnished. Because it is easier for the landlord not having to move all their belongings every time, but also because it's more attractive amongst tenants to sublease a furnished apartment. In order to keep track of all items in the apartment, both before and after the sublet - it's a good idea to establish an inventory list.
An inventory list, as the name suggests, is a list of your inventory. Things left in the apartment during a sublet. By making a list and then letting the tenant review it, an agreement is created in which the tenant acknowledges his or hers responsibility of the landlords belongings. If something on the inventory list is broken when the landlord returns, it is clear who is responsible for replacing the damage. In order for the inventory list to be valid, the tenant must sign. In other words, he or she must approve that the items on the list are in the apartment and that they are in the condition that the list indicates. When the rental period is over, check that everything listed is as the landlord left it. For the same reason, any damage that exists before the rental period should be written down, see the inspection protocol below. That way, the tenant can feel safe as it does not run the risk of being innocently accused of damaging anything. Write down what you know - brand, manufacturing year, really everything that describes items left in the apartment.
Qasa recommend to complement the inventory list with photographs. Everything from the kitchen table to the bookcase to the small dining or the old clock. Then it becomes even clearer how it looked like before the the sublet. It may be a security to have a photo copy if in the worst case you would be disagreeing on the damage. Make sure that both parties gets these photos. We recommend that the tenant or the landlord email each other a copy of the photos so the time of sharing this information will be dated.
Below you will find the inventory list. Download it, print it out and get a safer sublet. As usual, just email us at info@qasa.se or reach out to us in the chat if you have any questions - no questions are too stupid and no answers are too complicated!
For the same reason as it is good to write an inventory list, any damage that exists before the rental period begins should be written down and documented. Here you'll find a specific inspection protocol that you should download and print out. Then review the damage you have noted together with the tenant at the time of move in. Make sure you both sign the document as a proof that you both agreed on the damages in the apartment at the beginning of the sublet.
Look at the list as an insurance that offers you increased security before the sublet. 9 out of 10 times you will not have to use the list. But if something would be in damaged when the landlord return, you have a clear agreed upon inventory list and an inspection protocol that you've both signed, which will make it easier at any compensation estimation.

WASHINGTON — The United States has “moved beyond” the debate over whether it’s time to improve relations with Cuba. With diplomatic ties already a fact of life, the urgency now is deepening that relationship through economic and cultural exchange — and ending the trade embargo that has defined U.S. policy toward the island for the last 55 years.
So says José Ramón Cabañas, Havana’s man in Washington since 2012.
For most of that time, Cabañas was chief of the Cuban Interests Section, officially an annex of the Swiss Embassy. But on Sept. 17, 2015, Cabañas presented his credentials to President Obama as Cuba’s first full-fledged ambassador to the United States in more than half a century, following the restoration of those ties nine months earlier.
“It’s no secret that most Americans support a better relationship with Cuba. It’s the same thing from our end,” said Cabañas, addressing the Meridian International Center’s half-day Cuba Cultural Diplomacy Forum. His June 9 speech came less than a month after Carnival’s 704-passenger Adonis became the first U.S. cruise ship in 50 years to sail from Miami to Havana, and one day before the federal Department of Transportation cleared half a dozen U.S. airlines — including American, Frontier, JetBlue and Southwest — for takeoff to nine Cuban destinations.
Cabañas was the first of 26 speakers at the Cuba Cultural Diplomacy Forum; others included Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security advisor for strategic communications; Peter Schechter, director of the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center; former U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutiérrez, and Ambassador Vicki Huddleston, who headed the U.S. mission in Havana from 1999 to 2002.
The fact that Meridian’s Cuba event — underwritten by banker Adrienne Arsht and agribusiness giant Caterpillar — attracted a standing-room only crowd underscores the intense interest in an island that has fascinated Americans for decades.
About 161,000 U.S. citizens of non-Cuban origin traveled to the island in 2015, and arrivals in the first half of 2016 are already up 94 percent, said Cabañas. That follows a significant relaxation of U.S. regulations that for years made it next to impossible for average Americans to visit this tropical paradise only 90 miles from Florida’s shores.
At the moment, said Cabañas, the U.S. and Cuban governments are negotiating agreements on 18 subjects ranging from law enforcement to marine conservation.
“We have signed nine memoranda of understanding on specific areas like civil aviation that we have to implement,” he said, noting the nonstop flurry of Cuban officials streaming to Washington ever since the Cuban flag went up over the country’s mission on Sixteenth Street NW last July for the first time since 1954.
Since then, a number of state and municipal officials have brought delegations to Cuba, looking to expand trade and investment opportunities. While it’s easier than ever to visit the island these days, the trade embargo itself is still very much in place — and because of the 1996 Helms-Burton Act, only Congress can revoke those sanctions.
And while Democrats and Republicans may not agree on much this presidential election season, one thing both sides seem to support is an end to anti-Cuba sanctions that have accomplished virtually nothing in the past 55 years, except maybe to shut out U.S. companies from a potential market of 11 million consumers.
Cabañas said that as chief of the Cuban Interests Section and now the Cuban Embassy, he’s had the chance to visit many cities across the United States, including South Florida — home to a thriving community of more than a million Cuban exiles.
“I can tell you that young people have a lot of expectations, and they don’t care about the embargo,” he said, urging Congress to “support the end of sanctions” against his country that have caused untold suffering and cost the Cuban economy billions of dollars since its inception in 1962.

The tenth Offshore Energy Exhibition and Conference (OEEC) has opened its door today, 10 October 2017, at Amsterdam RAI, the Netherlands.
Offshore WIND wishes you a happy and prosperous 2019!
The European Commission had approved the public funding that France plans to put in place for the construction of the Dunkirk offshore wind farm.
The offshore wind industry cannot operate a zero-subsidy project in the same way as an EUR 100 per megawatt-hour wind farm, according to Clym Stock-Williams, Wind Energy Consultant at TNO.
For floating offshore wind to move forward from the current demonstration phase, the industry needs to be cost-competitive, according to Clement Mochet, Commercial Director at Vryhof.
Ditlev Engel: Why Would You Tax Something You Want More Of?!
Taxation of electricity produced by offshore wind and other renewables, as well as taxing these technologies, is something the industry needs to stand up against if it wants to see even lower costs and accelerate the energy transition, according to Ditlev Engel, CEO at DNV GL Energy.
Baltic InteGrid, a project exploring the potential of meshed offshore grids in the Baltic Sea region, is in focus of the second video in the Horizons series, co-produced by DOB-Academy and Offshore WIND with an aim to cover offshore wind topics in an easily digestible way.
Early October will see the release of the fourth edition of Offshore WIND. Find out what the International Energy Agency has to say about the outlook for offshore wind in our main interview with Brent Wanner, WEO energy analyst at IEA.
Early September will see the release of the third edition of Offshore WIND. Do you want to know how Blockchain may change the energy sector and offshore wind – you can read all about it in this edition.

It is a fact that Bursledon enjoys a micro climate, as you drop down off the South Downs past Winchester you can often feel the increase in air temperature. Looking back inland on a sunny summer day it’s not uncommon to see a grey cloud line which builds in the afternoon over Southampton while at the water’s edge we’re still enjoying glorious blue skies and sunshine.
Now I don’t know how google profiled advertising works, but on my favourite weather site instead of the more normal adverts for loft ladders or deals at local marinas , just recently I’m bombarded with lingerie adverts. It might be because daughter Katy has been staying with us and doing some internet shopping, but whatever the reason it just goes to prove the point that we do indeed get better weather in Bursledon.
I spotted this classic a while ago, but haven't had the chance to get up close with good light for some pictures until last week, so here she is.
What a fantastic sheer, those up swept bows must be great for punching into oncoming waves. I thought it was possibly a design by Kim Holman, with that characteristic transom hung rudder reminiscent of his famous Twister and Rustler designs, were it not for the stepped coach roof. But fellow blogger Patrick has identified it as the work of Alan Buchanan.
So President Viktor Yanukovych isn't the only person to have a backyard boat (see Proper Course post) admittedly ours is somewhat less ostentatious, but it normally provides a good summer crop of fresh herbs, hence it's name "the herb Boat" and fortuitously the recent floods haven't carried it away - touch wood.
We may not have the private zoo, but with thanks to Mrs BB's efforts over winter, we are approaching a wildlife obesity crisis, there are squirrels too fat to climb trees and birds who struggle to take off having gorged on the daily feeds she puts out in the bad weather.
Last Sunday brought a brief but welcome break to the recent storms, the night sky had been clear and bright, lit by a full moon, so I took the opportunity to get up and out for an early morning row.
The river was flat calm and I wasn't alone, this group of canoeists had a similar idea.
I was relieved to see that Matilda Emilie was safe and well on her mooring, it had been a couple of weeks since I'd been down to check on her, gusts of 70 knots had been recorded over the preceding Friday night.
Down in Hamble for a welcome cup of tea, things were equally quiet and what a welcome change to be able to sit outside for breakfast in the sunshine, it's been a long winter and I suspect not quite over yet.
The Hamble River mooring Holders Association sent out a newsletter saying that during the recent storms two boats sunk and another was swamped. Given the intensity of the storms with 3500 boats packed into the river perhaps that not such an unexpected statistic.
Whether this was one of the sunk or swamped I don't know, it was still stranded up on the hard on Sunday morning, which was warm, bright and flat calm.
The Hamble Harbour Office staff came in for praise and thanks, some coming in to work over the Christmas holiday to help with the emergencies. Apparently over the winter they have replaced some 400 meters of mooring lines, which presumably were broken or inadequate.
The situation a little later at HW suggests that maybe this boat was beyond it's point of vanishing stability.
Chichester is a huge natural and normally protected harbour but with a big spring tide and a westerly gale howling across the harbour the moorings were taking a pounding.
This dinghy was gradually filling and by the time we passed on our way back to the car it had disappeared.
This one had already sunk, just about held up by the closed buoyancy.
So where else would your love one take you for a romantic valentine's day lunch but a restaurant in a boat yard?
I booked a half day off work to take Erica out for lunch and she booked the Ferry Restaurant which is located on the Old Floating Bridge Ferry in the Elephant Boatyard.
Our stormy weather brought another howling gale through in the morning, so we arrived in pouring rain to find that we were the only people brave enough to venture out for lunch. No matter, we were looked after royally and the food was excellent, so good that we struggled to drag our selves away in time to collect Joseph from school.
If not exactly a hot date, more of a wet and rainy one, we talked about all the things we've done in the past 19 years together, enjoyed the food and the attention and each other.
Good food, interesting old boats and the one you love, doesn't get much better.
If not quite the hurricane force winds which were being predicted in the media, it's been a bit of a breezy weekend, most of Saturday afternoon it's been blowing at an average of over 40 knots with gusts over well into the 50's.
The recordings above are from Hurst Castle wind data for Saturday, which is one of the more exposed points in the Solent, forecast winds along much of the south and south west coast were similar, fortunately we're on a neap tide with lower, high water levels than a week ago if that makes sense, but I'm sure it's been a challenging day at some of the more open and exposed places along the coast.
What could be nicer on a clear and sunny winter's day than going sailing, the problem is that the good weather is brought about by high pressure and a lack of wind. Down at Emsworth members of the Slipper Sailing Club have just the answer with a fleet of radio controlled model yachts.
Sailing often takes place on the mill pond right outside the club house, but these boats were sailing out in the main channel off the town pontoon.
Most were 1 meter class they are feather light but even so catching the tiny zephyrs and making way against the ebb tide was a challenge at times.
While our roving reporter (Mrs BB) was out and about she spotted this classic yacht being hauled out at a local yard.
Knowing my interest in such things she took a few pictures and had a chat with the owner. The boat is apparently a Heatherington Smyth design, built in Flushing in Cornwall, she didn’t get the date but my guess would be 1960’s or early 70's.
The boat has been Portsmouth based for many years before moving to Hamble where she was laying on an exposed mooring during the recent storms and sustained some damage to the rail. When I was passing through the yard at the weekend she was ashore and propped up ready for work. Hopefully the damage is only superficial and we will see her back in the water soon.

We were over the moon when we viewed the site and couldn't believe how much attention to detail had been paid to even the smallest things.
We approached AWD after having a horrendous time with our previous web designer and we are so glad we found them!
Richard and his team listened to what we wanted, gave us their professional opinions on everything, explained things well and they even created us a new company logo. We were kept in regular contact with the design process and the site was built quicker than we expected. We were over the moon when we viewed the site and couldn't believe how much attention to detail had been paid to even the smallest things.
We were really unsure about the content management system but what they set up was very user friendly even for us technophobes! We didn't leave the office until they made sure we were comfortable and fully understood what to do. There were times we got confused and guaranteed they were at the end of the phone to help and fixed any bugs found straight away. This included setting up a temporary email for us late on a Friday afternoon when ours was not working properly.
The work has not stopped since the handover as they have worked on optimizing our site on google to help get our name out there more.
We cant thank the team enough and will continue to recommend them to people looking for professional, artistic and friendly web designers.
The team are conscientious, have an eye for detail, communicate well and are a pleasure to deal with.
Having searched for a website design company in Hertfordshire we came across Advanced Web Designs and were immediately impressed by the range of projects in their portfolio.
We therefore contacted them where we spoke to Richard to discuss the proposed revamp of our existing site and our desire for it to be a more dynamic and engaging website that would set us apart from our competition.
For various reasons we do not immediately move forward with the new website, however when we did finally revisit the project, despite having spoken to and received quotations from numerous website design companies, we remember feeling more comfortable that Richard and the team at Advanced Web Designs had really taken the time to fully understand our business along with our requirements and expectations of the new website.
We got back in touch with Richard and within a very short time we had received an initial design concept which not only accurately met our brief but actually exceeded our expectations. The design of a set of characters which were used to graphically represent us and our customers, meant we could visually display our services in a very uncluttered and unique way without having to rely on boring images of boilers.
During the process the team at Advanced Web Designs provided us with feedback on how best to achieve our requirements based on their knowledge and experience of website design and development. We found this incredibly helpful and particularly for the more technical areas of the website where we were happy to be led by their recommendations.
During the development of the website and since it has gone live we have requested a number of small alterations and additions, and in every case these have been dealt with quickly and professionally.
Overall Advanced Web Designs have provided us with an excellent, stress-free service throughout the process. The team are conscientious, have an eye for detail, communicate well and are a pleasure to deal with.
Our new website is now working really well for us and we would be more than happy to recommend advanced web designs anyone looking for a new website.
Being a brand new business and knowing the importance of having a good website, we carried out a lot of research into different companies and we kept coming back to AWD.
We reviewed their completed websites and following some good recommendations we decided to give Rich a call and go through what we needed. Immediately we were comforted with the professional and knowledgeable experience we were looking for, with some great ideas thrown at us already giving us a good understanding of the level of service and enthusiasm we would receive.
Having different departments within the company who specialise in each stage of the build, we began our conversations with Oli and phase 1 was underway in no time at all.
Within a very short time we were receiving conceptual designs for our approval and with close communication and immediate response times, the homepage was complete and ready to hand over to phase 2 where the back end was to be created.
As above, phase 2 went as smooth as it could with excellent communication from Gareth and page by page we completed all the requested tabs, and the website was starting to look real good. Throughout the entire build, the extensive experience the team hold was invaluable offering ideas and helping with laying out the website out so ensure it looks as modern and professional as possible.
Once the website was completed we were invited to the offices for a one to one handover and run through the CMS element. Again, the service we received was second to none and a real friendly environment made us feel very comfortable. With a few more minor tweaks the website was launched and we were able to start promoting to our customers with confidence.
AWD would come highly recommended in our books to anyone seeking a website build.
On behalf of all the team at Etang Negreloube, we can’t thank you enough and look forward to a promising future working together.
Advanced Web Designs are incredibly easy to work with. They are a knowledgeable, creative and very friendly team.
I approached Advanced Web Designs when The Production Zone relocated to Hertfordshire. Our original website had served us well but was starting to look a little out of date and crucially was not mobile-friendly.
From our very first meeting with Richard and the team it was clear that we were in safe hands and we had found the perfect company to design and build our new website.
AWD were a pleasure to deal with throughout the process and since the handover and going live have always been there to answer any questions about the CMS and give helpful advice on matters such as SEO.
The site AWD created is fantastic and has received so much positive feedback from clients - it's clean, modern looking and easy to navigate. They also updated the company logo and did a great job.
I highly recommend AWD to anyone thinking of having a new website.
AWD have been immensely helpful in helping me with my business. They have thoughtfully and quickly answered and taken care of all of my queries and have carefully taken a lot of time to take me through every aspect of the construction and ongoing upkeep of my site.
They are friendly and straightforward and would recommend them to anyone wishing to seek expert guidance in their field.
The various automated systems suggested and developed by the team at AWD have also dramatically decreased the amount of time I need to spend communicating with our trialist enquiries, players and their parents.
Initially Richard and his team were working with us to help improve the search engine optimisation of our previous website. Whilst the optimisation improvements on natural listings for our key search words had improved dramatically since Advanced Web Designs got involved, it became apparent that the restrictive nature of the WordPress template in which our previous site had been built, was limiting our success for lesser priority keywords such as the new centres we were opening and football courses we were developing.
So despite some initial reservations on my part, I eventually decided to take on AWD’s services to design and develop a new fully responsive website, and in hindsight now wish I had moved on with the project much sooner than I had.
As well as having a far more modern design with a greater appeal to my target market, there is also a full content management system which allows us Protec to manage all the content on the website, as well as expand the site as our business expands.
Since the site has gone live I have made numerous requests for small personalised tweaks to the website in order to make my life even easier, and on every occasion the team AWD have carried out my requests extremely quickly and efficiently, often providing better solutions and results then I had anticipated.
Throughout the process I have found Richard and his team to be highly professional, friendly and approachable. Nothing has been too much trouble and their website design and development skills, coupled with their knowledge of my business and what I needed the website to achieve, has ensured that I have ended up with a website, which is critical to my business, that has exceeded all of my expectations.
It goes without saying that I would have no problem at all recommending Advanced Web Designs, and would like to take this opportunity to thank them very much indeed for all the time and effort I know they put into this project.
The initial drafts were awesome. We were so happy with what was being produced, we started showing clients the updates before it was even ready and everyone agreed how good it was looking.
After spending the last two years trying to build and manage my own home made website (using Wix) and continuously making changes, I was getting stressed out. I realised that the quality of our website didn't match the quality of our service. I then realised that I'm a personal trainer, not a web designer, so it was time to focus on what I'm good at and hire professionals to do what they do best.
I searched google and the first name I saw was AWD. We had a look at their portfolio, and called them straight away.
Richard invited us in for a meeting and within minutes we felt confident in their ability, so when they showed me what they can do I actually laughed. I couldn't believe the quality of their work and how poor it made my home made website look. This was a humbling experience but I suppose that’s why I was there so we started to get excited.
We gave Richard a few ideas of what we were looking for and I remember him saying 'that’s exactly what we were thinking' so I knew we were all on the same page and it made the whole process a lot more efficient.
Ironically, Richard falls into our target market, so we actually asked him to make the website so appealing that he considers signing up with us, and with that, everything his team done was exactly what we needed from a website.
The idea of the website being content managed was exciting. I know what message I want to get across, so to have control of what pictures and text go where was a great project for me to be involved in. I couldn't believe how simple it was, and what I loved was regardless of how small my questions or problems, all I had to do was drop anyone at AWD an email or phone call and they were always there to help.
Once the website went live, we were so proud and it really has catapulted our business in the right direction. The feedback we have received has been great and we now fill so confident that it matches the quality of our company. It's really difficult to stand out in such a saturated market, but now we do, in a big way. The price was very competitive. We are also in an industry where you get what you pay for, and that is exactly what we got using AWD.
I still pop in now and again to see Richard and his team, I have also recommended AWD to two of our clients and will continue to do so without hesitation.
Richard listened to my ideas and my expectations from a new website and provided some excellent ideas on content, user experience and how best the new website would reach my target audience. It was clear he had researched my type of business and how the website would best support it.
Leading up to purchasing County Castles in January 2016 I had identified that the current old website was in need of a complete overhaul.
Through recommendations I contacted Richard and his team at AWD. In our first working meeting I was immediately confident that I would receive a website that met my needs. Richard listened to my ideas and my expectations from a new website and provided some excellent ideas on content, user experience and how best the new website would reach my target audience. It was clear he had researched my type of business and how the website would best support it.
Throughout the design and build process there has been excellent communication and that still continues to this day. AWD has responded really positively to my needs and requests and have provided invaluable practical and technical advice.
Overall from a customer’s point of view AWD have been marvellous, delivered within timescales and overall great value for money. Most importantly I have a fabulous new modern website that supports my business exactly how I wanted it to and crucially is so user friendly for my prospective customer base.
I would certainly recommend AWD to anyone looking for a new website for their business.
We believe that the website they designed for us has set us apart form all of our competitors.
If anybody in business who is looking for a service and product that will double your online enquiries look no further than Richard and his team at AWD!
Richard and his team at AWD created my first website some five years ago and when I decided to build a new site to change with times and stay up to date with my competition, I knew from the outset what I would be getting. Having relied on their knowledge and experience previously I knew I would get the same result.
The team spent time with me to understand what my target audience and market was and they have created a website that to this day I am complimented on by prospective clients when I first meet them.
The design and concept was everything and more than I expected and with their sound knowledge of SEO and ensuring my site is found by potential clients. I now have a modern, smart website that generates more business than ever before and allows my business to continue to grow.
Not only is the design a winner but their technical knowledge is spot on.
I wanted a website that would express a friendly yet professional feel and that is exactly what I have. Not only is the design a winner but their technical knowledge is spot on. The guys at AWD are very patient and continue to be so even after the launch! Thanks guys look forward to phase 2!
They have also managed to get us to (and keep us at) number one on Google under some very genetic key words and terms used within our industry.
We have used Advanced Web Designs since 1999 and during this period have forged an excellent relationship with them. During the initial meetings they took the time to understand our business and who our target audience is, in order to design and develop a website that not only reflected what we are about but also that appealed to our large customer base.
As we have grown over the years AWD have re-developed the site for us on a number of occasions, each time getting larger and more diverse whilst at the same time somehow keeping the navigation around the site very simple.
I have always found them easy to contact and they deal with our many regular websites updates quickly and efficiently.
Their ability to keep up-to-date with technology has meant that we have always benefited form having a modern websites and this fact together with their very competitive pricing has once again secured them the job of a big revamp to our website in 2009.
We also found the team reliable and available for questions at all times.
From the initial meeting, Advanced Web Designs proved to be an inventive and creative company.
Richard and his team showed genuine interest in providing a range of bespoke design options for our website concept.
We are very pleased with the finished site, which is both modern and attractive. The team’s design skills and knowledge were impressive.
I would be happy to recommend AWD, who were a pleasure to work with.
We have used Advanced Web Designs for a number of years to design and develop our core business website for ‘JBD sports Events Management’.
As they have always provided a great service, and knowing that Richard is an angler himself and has attended the previous three PDC Invitational Fishing Championships, employing AWD for this project was for us a ‘no-brainer’.
Richard’s understanding of the event was not only helpful during the design and development process of the website, but also help greatly with the preparation of copy and imagery to populate the website.
I was so pleased with the outcome of the site and how it worked on mobile devices, that I have now asked AWD to redevelop our Sports Event’s Management website to a more modern, mobile friendly website in line with the PDC fishing site they have just created for us.
I have found Richard and the team at Advanced Web Designs a pleasure to work with and have absolutely no reservations in recommending them to anyone who needs a professionally built website.
I've had some great feedback on the site and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending AWD.
When searching for a web designer, I wanted a company who were local and who I felt were going to be happy to deal with a start up business and able to advise on the best e-commerce solutions available.
I had an initial meeting with Richard who listened carefully and with interest as to what I wanted and by the end of our first meeting, he had showed me another site that they had recently designed, which was exactly what I wanted.
Both Richard and Gareth were very attentive and explained things well. They were always quick to attend to any changes that were needed or that I subsequently asked for once the site was completed.
The website they designed for us exceeded all our expectations and we’ve had nothing but positive feedback from our new and existing customers.
I’ve known Richard since the mid 80’s when we were both fishing at the North Lagoon over in Broxbourne, however we lost contact when I moved over to France to manage Dreamlakes. I know Richard went on to run The Carp Society, however I didn’t really know what he was doing now.
When we made the decision we needed a new website, a number of different contacts recommended giving Advanced Web Designs a call because ‘the guy who runs it is also a carp angler’. We felt it was a huge advantage to have the website rebuilt by someone who not only came recommended, but who is an angler themselves, as this means they would understand the target market as well as the jargon use in fishing.
When we found out that Advanced Web Designs was Richard’s company the decision to use them was made even easier as I’d always known Richard to be a hardworking and conscientious person.
I have no problem recommending Richard and his company to anyone wanting a new website, I only wish we’d found them sooner!
I was nervous about using the content management system to populate the website but it is so easy that even I had mastered it within about half an hour.
I was recommended Advanced Web Designs by a friend who uses them for his website. I was a little anxious at first as I don’t really understand technology that much, but everyone I dealt with at every stage of the website build was very helpful and took the time to explain in a way I understood.
They put together a brief for me with their recommendations which showed they really understood my business and why I wanted a website, and the design they came up with further proved their understanding of the market I want to reach.
I can confidently recommend Advanced Web Designs to anyone who is thinking about having a website built.
Advanced Web Designs offers an innovative and creative professional service. Time and genuine interest was extended to Fore Street Employment Agency as our website was designed and developed. Their quality of work, technological knowledge and skills demonstrate that AWD can deliver outside the norm. Our website is user friendly, extremely beneficial and has added significant value to our organisation.
AWD is easily accessible, responsive and consistent, from our initial meeting to present they continue to provide us with on going efficient solutions to minimise cost and maximise effectiveness.
Fore Street Employment Agency is a fast moving business without the luxury of time, AWD understand our business needs and are always on tap with recommendations and support which enables us to move forward. Their contribution and excellent service has given us the freedom to dedicate our time to our clients. AWD are a pleasure to work with.
I was extremely pleased to find a local web design company who I felt were going to be happy to deal with my start up business, as well as advise me on the best e-commerce solutions available.
I have really enjoyed working with the team at AWD web design, and feel that they have really listened to me. Both Richard and Kyle have been very attentive, explained things well when I have had a query and been happy to meet with me in person to go over any changes I have asked for.
Since going live I have had extremely positive feedback on the site and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending AWD to anyone.
Their patience, professionalism and creativity produced a website that is vibrant, eye-catching and simple to use.
From the moment I walked into the AWD offices in Hertford I knew that Richard and his team would be able to design the website that had been my ‘pipe-dream’ for years.
If you want an amazing website designed by an efficient, friendly and talented team then AWD is the company for you. You will not be disappointed!
We were recommended Richard and Advanced Web Designs by a mutual friend. My partner and I had just set up a small company to sell Gel Burners, an ornament that can be used indoors or outside to safely burn bio ethanol fuel, which when alight makes for a warming center piece and talking point.
Not being very web savvy ourselves, it was refreshing that the basic brief we provide was so well interpreted. From the initial design concept and right the way through the project AWD fully understood the product and provided us with some invaluable advice regarding what was needed to ensure we not only ended up with a functional website, but also one that best promoted our product to our target market.
The earthy, natural feel of the design is exactly what we had asked for but the results were much better than expected and their Content Management System is exceptionally simple to use.
Now the website is live, Richard and his team continue to be proactive and are always on hand to help us with either our requests for the many additional features we keep adding, or making suggestions for ways the website can help improve our sales.
Crate Ideas is a company new in the UK which sells Dog Crate Covers, we aimed to be driven by online sales so therefore needed a website. We went through the regular diligence of recommendations, browsing local companies and internet searches which resulted in a short list of three website developers. We put these through their paces in regard to making sure they could provide the ease of functionality and engaging design; which were the two most important parameters for us. AWD really understood our goals, the product and in addition they put forward some really good ideas for the business. We had no option but to go ahead with them.
They have a great team and really easy to work with, nothing is too much trouble; we just needed to ask if something was possible and it was done. Once we gave the go ahead with their initial design the process was simple and efficient. The end result far exceeded our expectations and we are so delighted with our website.
I have had some bad experiences with web designers in the past but AWD are friendly and efficient and have proved that good designers do exist!
DO NOT HESITATE! I have had some bad experiences with web designers in the past but AWD are friendly and efficient and have proved that good designers do exist! My special thanks to Gareth for coming up with solutions to seemingly simple requests which often required complex programming to achieve the effect or facility we wanted, he was always patient, willing to listen and keen to explain. Gareth and Richard have provided us with a good looking website full of up-to-date visuals and features giving us all that we asked for and more. I cannot recommend their services too highly.
Despite giving them a tight deadline to work to, the brief was met with respect to the timescale, design and technical requirements.
On recommendation we approached Advanced Web Designs to quote us for a new business venture we were undertaking. We liked what we heard in our initial meeting and as the subsequent quotation fell in with our budget we made the decision to take on their services. Despite giving them a tight deadline to work to, the brief was met with respect to the timescale, design and technical requirements.
Throughout the development AWD have responded quickly to our requests and queries, provided us with professional advice and developed a simple to use backend system, enabling us to quickly and easily update key areas of the website ourselves.
Richard and his team were a real pleasure to work with throughout every stage of the project. They showed genuine enthusiasm for the project and recommended many features that we hadn't considered but have made the finished website a highly interactive and informative resource for the club, the team managers and parents of all the players.
As the Club is run on a shoestring and relies almost wholly on volunteers, from individual team coaches and managers right up to the Chairman, Richard and his team designed, developed and are hosting the our website free of charge, a very generous and unexpected offer but ultimately one that demonstrates the ethos and charitable spirit of the company.
Despite this we have still been given the service I would expect to receive as a paying customer and Richard even gave up a Sunday evening to present the new site to the all of the managers and carry out a training session on the very easy to use Content Management System.
Clearly I would highly recommend Advanced Web Designs on a number of levels including their professionalism, expertise, willingness and ability to understand or requirements, the technical advice provided and the numerous extra miles they went to ensure the site covered every eventuality.
I have been most impressed with the care and quality Advanced Web Designs has provided my company. My initial enquiry and first meeting was dealt with the utmost professionalism and the high level of service has continued even after the launch. I am so pleased with the end result I don’t see myself going anywhere else for my future projects.
We have used Advanced Web Designs since we first started our holiday accommodation business 6 years ago and feel Richard and his team have made a significant contribution to our success.
The designs have been excellent and have used the latest technology always at an affordable price. Advanced Web Designs are easily accessible and helpful when there is a problem and difficulties are dealt with quickly and efficiently.
We have used Advanced Web Design for a number of years now for all our web needs. We have found them to have a clear understanding of our business from all aspects which has been highlighted in not only the design and functionality of our website but also in offering advice with regards to web optimisation, possible revenue streams and new services to offer our online customers.
Advanced Web Design has invaluable knowledge about all aspects of online marketing and are able to put their advice into practice. We have found the team at AWD extremely reliable and professional and would recommend them to any business.
After speaking to several different web site designers in the area, we decided on using Advanced Web Design as from the start they seemed to understand exactly what our vision was in terms of our website and goals.
They were keen to listen to what our requirements were and also made valid suggestions on how we could make the design more efficient and where we could improve. As they are so familiar with website design they also informed us of design concepts and graphic design especially photo imaging which is a major part of our website.
Richard and Gareth really are perfectionists with attention to detail and no matter how small or how many times they are willing to help. I would fully recommend them to any of my clients and friends.
We at the Bait and Feed Company have used Advanced Web Designs for the last 12 years and during this time they have revolutionised our website and have increased our Internet sales massively.
Over the entire time we have used AWD we have found them to be professional, proactive, innovative and extremely competitively priced. During this time they have even provided us with some very sound business advice that has proven invaluable to the success of our company.
All of the team at AWD are a very present, polite and easy to deal with. Their systems are extremely easy to use and their after sales service and support are second to none.
In the most recent e-commerce website they have developed for us they used reasonably new technologies and methods to overcome our complicated buying and pricing structures.
Also by optimising words on our site they have managed to achieve a number 1 placing for our company on Goggle and MSN using generic key industry search terms.
I simply can’t praise them enough and not only are we happy to recommend AWD, we would suggest that you don’t waste your time looking elsewhere for a web designer.
Advanced Web Designs were recommended to me by my brother-in-law who has used the company to design and develop his own company’s websites over the last 12 years.
Despite them admitting to having no prior knowledge of the industry, they took time to familiarise themselves with my business and the bicycle market in which we operate.
Following our initial discussions they presented a professional and detailed proposal to us whilst displaying the confident and friendly personalities I look for in all of my business relationships. I was also pleased that they took the time to explain to me ‘in layman’s terms’ the technical jargon associated with such projects.
Their initial design concepts proved to me that they fully understood both our brand and our target audience, in fact only a few very minor tweaks were made.
During the development of what was initially a standard ‘e-commerce’ website, I asked AWD to quote me for an additional bike builder system. Like the initial quote, the price was exceptional competitive and despite the tight deadlines I was demanding, by altering their programme of work around they also managed to develop the system in time to go live for the London Bike Show where I was exhibiting.
The bike builder system in particular threw up a lot of technical scenarios which I hadn’t considered, many of which were actually bought to may attention by the guys at AWD, who impressively also provided me with possible solutions to the problems.
Their technical expertise, understanding of what needed to be achieved, attention to detail, competitive price, design skills and most importantly, their patience, are just some of the many reasons I have already recommend them to a business associate and would be happy to recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional web developer.
From our initial first meeting we were confident AWD would provide us with all the advice and guidance we would need to create a brilliant website. Unfortunately we didn't listen to our instincts and decided to look around! Having spent months speaking to others, we came back to the start frustrated we had wasted time looking elsewhere, when what we wanted was there at the first meeting.
Richard and Gareth have developed a really great, easy to use online system which allows people playing Season Selector to quickly make their predictions by simply dragging and dropping each of the Premiership teams into the players predicted finishing position.
Most importantly for me, the system also works out all of the points (which used to take me ages) and displays the immediately.
Players can also interact with the website by making comments on the ‘Topic of the Week’, which in previous years has led to some really good banter, particularly amongst the supporters of opposing teams!

It’s been a while since we’ve shared any DIY projects on these pretty pages, so I’m super excited to introduce you to new team member and our resident paper-expert Laura Reed, of Things by Laura. What this lady can’t do with a simple piece of paper honestly isn’t worth knowing – from the most beautiful paper flowers to geometric shapes, pinwheels and more.
When she’s not busy making gorgeous paper decor for her brides, you’ll find her creating ideas for Paperchase Craft Workshops as well as pretty paper DIY’s for us right here at B.LOVED! This time Laura’s sharing a simple but oh-so-effective project for creating these DIY paper cut table numbers. With a contemporary floral design these would work with so many wedding styles – just change your papers to coordinate with your colour palette!
Print the downloadable templates for the number of tables you are having.
With a craft knife, carefully follow all of the lines on the template. Don’t worry too much if you stray slightly as this is the backside and will be hidden in the finished table numbers.
Mount the cut out design on a contrasting coloured card. Be careful not to get glue on the leaves, as these will be folded out later on.
Trim the edges of the mount card so that there is an even border around the whole of the edge. Use a metal rule to be extra neat!
Fold up the leaves to give the 3D effect. You may need to use a needle to lift the edges at first. Repeat this for as many tables as you have, and display your handiwork proudly on your big day!
Love this? Follow Laura’s projects for B.LOVED here.
I have been making things since childhood. After studying Furniture and Product design at University, I worked for 10 years in design agencies as a retail display designer for a range of high end and high street brands. I found that the process of planning our wedding allowed me to combine a lot of my hobbies, passions and commercial experience and really get into the detail of 'project W'. I live with my husband in South East London in a flat packed with mid-century furniture and vintage finds. When I’m not crafting, freelancing or creating projects for B.LOVED we enjoy coffee, cake, travel and junk shops!

Supported by the Oxford Diocese, PACT is an independent adoption agency and also runs a women’s community project and Bounce Back 4 Kids (BB4K) which helps families in Oxfordshire affected by domestic abuse. All funds raised at this event will go to Bounce Back 4 Kids.
The production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Relatively Speaking stars Robert Powell and Lisa Goddard. The play was Ayckbourn’s first great West End success and set him on course to become a household name.
The Gala Evening begins at 7pm with a private supper reception, drinks and a silent auction. During the interval there will be coffee and delicious mini desserts. There is an optional opportunity for after show drinks with members of the cast. Tickets start from £70.
The BB4K programme consists of a 10 week children’s course and parent’s course which run simultaneously. The course uses therapeutic techniques to help them come to terms with experiencing family breakdowns.
One family helped by BB4K following domestic abuse is Mandy* and her three sons. She said: “BB4K was a good experience, a really good experience for all of us.
PACT Chief Executive Jan Fishwick said: “This is set to be a wonderful evening in aid of an excellent cause.

State-owned conglomerate meets with creditors over request to restructure £22bn debt.
The committee is likely to include four British banks: HSBC, Lloyds, RBS and Standard Chartered, which are believed to have a Dubai World debt exposure exceeding $5bn, the paper added.
The meeting is believed to be just the beginning of long negotiations to sort the obligations of a number of Dubai World subsidiaries which are up for restructuring.
Topping the list is the group's giant property developer Nakheel, which has approximately $9bn in liabilities.
The emirate rocked global markets last month when it requested a six-month freeze on debt payments by Dubai World in order to restructure it.
Top Dubai financial officials reportedly told banking leaders in London last week that Dubai World could still pay the bank loans of its troubled subsidiaries in full over the medium term.
The total debt of Dubai is estimated between $80bn and $100bn.
