Who does DICE?
By: Matthew Kent
Tags: Company Culture, Startup, Web Design, Design, Company

What do you do at DICE?

I’m a Web Designer, which mostly involves taking a pile of information and making it easy to understand and look nice. I did my first phone interview for the role in the hallway of a pub, my second on Skype from Slovenia and the third in the garden of my friends flat and still managed to get the job.

What are you working on at the moment?

My biggest project is an event management tool, which has been both an exciting and challenging project. It’s full of colourful graphs, complex layouts and data visualisation.

What was the first concert you ever went to?

The first one I remember was when my parents took me to see Van Morrison at an outdoor concert when I was a kid. A questionable choice as I mostly ran around ignoring the music and bothering people but in retrospect that’s not bad for a first gig.

You’re in the Kapten to the afterparty and you’ve been handed the aux cord. The pressure is REAL. What track will you choose?

Probably Lovesick by Mura Masa, that infectiously erratic percussion is unbeatable.

Which gig on DICE should everyone go to?

Heilung looks absolutely mad. An experimental folk-metal band inspired by Norse myth who perform in full Viking costumes with antler headdresses and use swords and human bones for percussion? Sign me up.

Biggest achievement within DICE?

I’m quite proud of the updates I’ve made to our embeddable event list. It posed some interesting design challenges since it needs to drop into any website and seem like it is part of that site. To make it this flexible I had to come up with some unusual creative solutions and the result is a pretty powerful tool.

What’s your most annoying office habit?

Bothering people with obscure typography minutiae.

Tell us something about you that no one else would know already…

I’m learning to play the Flugelhorn.

Best thing about working here?

Most Fridays we do something called a Pecha Kucha, where a few people in the office have to do a 25 slide presentation on their life. It sounds weird but it’s fascinating and often hilarious, and you find out things about your colleagues you otherwise would never know. On the other hand, when you have to do yours it makes you want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Bonus fact?

There’s something called a fog bow. It’s like a rainbow but made of fog.
Reimagining the Passenger Experience with JPA Design
By: Boom Supersonic
Tags: Travel, Aerospace, Supersonic, Company, Air Travel

To reimagine the possibilities of an effortless on-board experience, Boom is working with JPA Design, world-class aviation and hospitality design specialists, to design Overture’s cabin interior and create a tranquil stress-free experience.

We sat down with JPA Design’s Design Director of Transport, John Tighe, to learn more about the project, design process, and exciting elements to anticipate in Overture.

Q: Where are you today in the design process?

JT: Today, we’re concentrating on two main elements: Big ideas and the overall packaging of the cabin. First, we’re thinking broadly and focusing on identifying what amazing, unique elements this aircraft can deliver and how we can facilitate these. Second, the overall packaging of the cabin is critical to understand. There are a lot of items that need to fit in the space, each with its own secondary impact. Tackling this huge Tetris puzzle forms most of our work right now, with an emphasis on the quality of space, the passengers, and their belongings each get.

Q: What makes Overture’s unique or different from your past projects?

JT: Since we’re involved so early in the process, our recommendations today can influence the actual aircraft size. That grants more priority to the design and passenger experience elements, which is great, as we often have to work with a fixed ‘tube.’

Overture will be more than just fast. We’re optimizing each part, to ensure that Overture delivers a truly memorable, extraordinary experience.

Q: What are the keys to making small spaces like an interior cabin feel large, open, and memorable?

The real trick is finding the balance between providing each passenger with some privacy, without bringing a sense of claustrophobia. This is a topic that JPA Design has tackled for decades, so we’re confident that we can strike the right balance and deliver the right level of options to the airlines. We’re not designing a singular space here, but rather a range into which airlines can paint their brand and cabin user experience.

Q: What are you most excited to see as a future passenger?

As a passenger, I’m excited by how much more time I will have to spend both at the destination and with my family upon return. That’s how supersonic will really transform the frequent business traveler’s life. Within the aircraft, we’re most excited about witnessing the curvature of the earth out of the window and the beautiful, elegant cabin inside.
Who does DICE?
By: Matthew Kent
Tags: Company, Company Culture, People Management, Talent Acquisition, Apps

What do you do at DICE?

I have just joined the team here at DICE Barcelona to help coordinate the operations between all teams. I’m also still helping out the talent team headhunting and coordinating recruitment processes for some roles in Spain, Italy and the UK as we continue to expand across Europe.

What was the first concert you ever went to?

My first concert was McFly at Sala Apolo in Barcelona, I think I was 16 and had a massive crush on Dougie, I had the time of my life when they played Star Girl and Five Colours In Her Hair.

You’re in the Kapten to the afterparty and you’ve been handed the aux cord. The pressure is REAL. What track will you choose?

No doubt at all, Gesaffelstein — Hate of Glory, that’s the anthem when I go out and I know it’s gonna be LIT.

Which gig on DICE should everyone go to?

Sleep Token at The Underworld. Sam (read his Who does DICE? here) described them as the metal Bon Iver (which I completely agree), they always wear masks and have never been seen without them. They’re also at Islington Assembly Hall next year.

Biggest achievement within DICE?

Recruiting for the whole Spanish team in Barcelona, taking full responsibility for getting in the roles to launch the app in the new territory.

If you work in the music industry in Spain, you’ve probably received a LinkedIn connection from me, if not… you’ll get one soon ;)

What’s your most annoying office habit?

Asking people what are we going to have for lunch at 9.40 AM, I love food.

Tell us something about you that no-one else would know already…

We don’t have Santa Claus in Catalunya, so instead, we have a Christmas log which shits presents when hit with a stick whilst singing a sweet song.

Editor’s note: I swear she’s not lying… Just look at this Wiki entry.

Best thing about working here?

How passionate people are about what we’re doing, the DICE credit to spend on gigs, free breakfast every morning and making all my friends jealous when I tell them I work here.

Bonus fact?

I have trypophobia, so I can’t look at patterns like a honeycomb, just the thought of it makes me feel dizzy.

Residential Landscaping — Why Should You Opt For This?
By: Heritage Landscape Dallas Llc
Tags: Companies, Dallas, Landscaping

First of all, landscaping is a way to increase the beauty of your home while also improving on the comfort. It is an excellent way to give your surroundings a makeover so that your home looks a bit more comfortable. Many people don’t realize this but landscaping is a brilliant way improve your personal space to fit a happier lifestyle. This is why when it comes to landscaping companies, Dallas doesn’t hold back.

When you get home after a tiring day, you don’t want it to feel even more stressful. Environments that aren’t maintained well can really ruin someone’s mood. Landscaping is encouraged for many reasons including this one. They are as given below.

Reasons Why

1.Health Benefits - When we say health, we don’t just mean physically but mentally as well. Landscaping results in your home having a healthier air around it due to the filtering of pollutants. Having cleaner air surrounding you is good for you and your family. Also, it paves way for an active lifestyle.

Another advantage is that, a peaceful and well maintained surrounding will have positive effects on your mental health. It can decrease your stress levels and gift you with a feeling of relief every time you get home.

2. Environmental Benefits - There are quite a lot of environmental benefits to landscaping. Did you know that landscaping prevents storm water runoff which reduces local flooding? It reduces the runoff and it can also control erosion which in turn limits the loss of soil in waterways. It reduces soil degradation and evaporation. Isn’t that great?

Besides, with landscaping you won’t have to worry too much about the change in extreme temperatures. With so much greens surrounding you, summers will be cooler and winter would be warmer.

3. Economic Benefits - Maintaining your property is a good idea to boost its value. Landscaping increases the value of your home and can make your home look much more pleasing to the eye of potential purchasers. It also reduces heating and cooling systems which is a great deal for someone who’s looking for a good property option on the market.

Also, with such a well-maintained home/property on the market you will find that it attracts more attention due to the maintenance.

While we are aware of the fact that planting trees and plants have a positive impact on the environment we live in, it is also to be noted that they contribute to the production of oxygen, emotional well-being and over all quality of living. Hence why you shouldn’t shy away from bettering your home with landscaping companies. Dallas has one of the best services in the country and you can give your home a complete makeover.

How do companies compete?: All about Flixbus and Blablabus
By: Alejandro Brega
Tags: Companies, Flixbus, Startups, Blablabus

The French provider of long-distance bus services, Blablabus, wants to start in the spring cities in Germany. This gives market leader Flixbus competition.

Since the takeover of the coach company Ouibus, which is part of the French railway, announced in November, the Blaupar car service, which is also active in Germany, is working to get into the coach business. Under the name Blablabus, the French startup wants to send its buses to the first German cities as early as spring, as Zeit Online writes. This gives the market leader Flixbus, which holds about 95 percent market share in this country, strong competition.

Competition for Flixbus: Blablabus wants to head for dozens of cities in Germany

According to a report by the Handelsblatt, Blablabus plans to reach 60 cities in Germany and the Benelux by the end of this year. The CEO of the startup Nicolas Brusson said he had deliberately chosen the start of the expansion outside of France in Germany. “People want an alternative offer,” the Handelsblatt quotes the Blablacar founder.

In 2015 Blablacar took over the German rivals Mitfahrgelegenheit.de and Mitfahrzentrale.de

In the future, the company wants to score points in the coach business with cheap tickets and also offer the opportunity to combine long-distance bus travel with car-sharing opportunities. Like Flixbus, Blablabus relies on organizing and arranging rides for medium-sized bus companies.

Flixbus claims to have connections to 2,000 locations in 28 countries in Europe, including France. There are therefore 300,000 connections available daily. A quick check showed: A trip from Paris to Cologne costs currently at the German provider about as much as with Ouibus — namely from 17 or 18 euros. Blablacar currently has approximately 65 million members and offers its services in 22 countries. 20 million travelers use the platform every quarter.

Ernest Benjamin Joins Bravo Capital
By: Aaron Krawitz
Tags: Company, Bravo Capital

NEW YORK, May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bravo Capital, a national direct HUD lender, named Ernest Benjamin, Jr. as Chief Credit Officer and FHA Chief Underwriter. Mr. Benjamin joins Bravo Capital to lead the company’s HUD financing underwriting and credit approval departments. Mr. Benjamin’s extensive nationwide HUD financing experience will be an asset to Bravo.

Mr. Benjamin joins Bravo with over 20 years of underwriting experience building the financing groups at some of the most prominent financing firms in the U.S. Throughout his career, Mr. Benjamin has been known for his leadership and ability to deliver the highest quality underwriting with the speed institutional clients demand. He is a respected voice in the HUD financing industry, and serves as a board member of the Healthcare Mortgagee Advisory Council. Professionally, Mr. Benjamin was a Chief Underwriter and Senior Vice President with Walker & Dunlop where he was previously responsible for managing the underwriting and due diligence process for FHA/HUD insured multifamily and healthcare loans. While there, he helped establish the foundation for the FHA/HUD platform which has since grown into an industry leader.

Prior to joining Walker & Dunlop, Mr. Benjamin was a consultant with Deutsche Bank Berkshire Mortgage and a Risk Officer/Underwriter with Wachovia Multifamily Capital, Inc. where he worked primarily as an FHA Underwriter. Over the course of his career, Mr. Benjamin has successfully underwritten and closed upwards of $750 million in FHA/HUD insured loans.

Mr. Benjamin, a graduate of the College of William and Mary and more recently Harvard Business School’s Real Estate Management executive education program, will be based in the Washington, D.C. metro area. In his role as Chief Credit Officer and FHA Chief Underwriter, Mr. Benjamin will work with Bravo’s Founder and CEO, Aaron Krawitz, to execute HUD financings in a first-class manner that aligns with HUD’s mission and that consistently strives to exceed HUD standards.

“Joining Bravo — a national HUD lender focused on certainty of execution, institutional grade quality, transparency and responsiveness — is a great opportunity and I look forward to further enhancing Bravo’s underwriting and credit operations,” said Benjamin. “Bravo also provides an opportunity to broaden the scope and reach of capital to historically underserved communities. Thanks to the foundation built by Aaron and his team, Bravo is positioned for tremendous growth over the coming years.”

“Quality underwriting and certainty of execution is our focus, and Ernest is renowned in the industry for both,” said Krawitz. “In addition, Ernest’s integrity and leadership are unparalleled.”

Bravo Capital is a direct HUD lender, which finances projects across the United States. Bravo leadership has overseen in excess of $3 billion in HUD financings last year. To learn more, visit https://bravocapital.com.
Roof Measurement Reports In A Few Clicks
By: Spinalle Mike
Tags: Aerial Measurements, Sky Roof Measure, Roof Measurements, Services, Companies

Spend less time measuring and estimating, and more time building your business.

Are you concerned that you need a new roof? Most homes and buildings in our area were built many decades ago, or even longer. Often, a roof can naturally reach the end of its life without experiencing a large-scale accident. This is especially true with the harsh weather New York experiences, particularly if your roof is over 20 years old.

Be especially attentive if you notice any of the following:

Shingle edges are curled or shingle tabs are cupped

Bald spots where granules are missing

Cracked shingles

Dark streaks (algae)

Moss

You may see some of these signs, or others, that indicate it’s time for a new roof. If your roof just looks old and worn, contact Sky Roof Measure today. They are the experts in aerial roof measurements, satellite roof measurements, roof measurement services, and more.

Why setting up HR should be your priority
Tags: Business, Company, Teamwork, HR

We all have seen memes mocking the Human Resource (HR) team as if their only role is to make rangoli during festival time. But is it so? Is HR irrelevant and a waste of money for any organization? Astonishingly, HR’s role is so imperative that it is termed as the right hand of a company. It manages people, the most crucial resource in the world. Human resource (HR) is an essential department in an organization responsible for, screening, recruiting, scouting, onboarding new joiners, and implementing employee benefit programs. The HR team’s following multi-dimensional duties are what make them an indispensable part of any company:

HR team maintains the record of every department of the organization. If it feels that some department is lagging, it takes the responsibility of arranging the requisite and adequate employees to that department. Thus, it ensures the demand and supply of employees in the organization.

Human resource carries the data set, which enables them to analyse wages, benefits based on the industry trends and other competitors. Hence, HR trims workforce costs and maintains a budget for the company.

The HR team is responsible for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the workforce. It understands that conflicts between the employees may hamper the work environment and ensures resolving every dispute.

HR team comprehends that recruiting new people every time dismantles the organisation’s budget. Hence, it focuses on the training and development of the employees. It further promotes the practice of employee retention and reduces employee turnover.

It is quite evident that no one can work all time. There must be some other incentive which must be offered to the employees to maintain proper work. HR team weighs upon these terms and formulate plans according to it-the policies regarding break time, festival celebrations, and numerous events to maintain a healthy environment in the company.

Hence, make sure that the organisation isn’t overlooking the Human resource department as its cost won’t be recoverable.

Can I get Stamp Duty (SDLT) Relief using an SPV Ltd company?
By: Alejandro Brega
Tags: Company, Ltd, Property

You may be eligible for Stamp Duty Land Tax ( SDLT ) reliefs if you’re buying your UK first home and in certain other situations. These reliefs can reduce the amount of tax you pay. You must complete an SDLT return to claim relief, even if no tax is due.



Is the first dwelling purchased by a Ltd Company exempt from the 3% surcharge?No — all purchases of residential property within a limited company are subject to the surcharge.



QAs related:



I own a rental property; will I have to pay the 3% surcharge when I buy my first home?Yes — it is the number of dwellings owned by you, not the use to which they are put that determines whether the surcharge is payable.



I own a buy to let property in a limited company and now want to buy a home to live in — will I pay the 3% surcharge? A limited company is a separate legal “person” from you, so (in law) you do not currently own a “dwelling”. Consequently you will not have to pay the 3% surcharge when you buy your home.

Google selects CEiiA to integrate the program “Impact Challenge on Climate”

Google selects CEiiA to integrate the program “Impact Challenge on Climate” Ineews Apr 13·2 min read

CEiiA was selected today by Google to integrate its Impact Challenge on Climate Program, with the blockchain-based AYR sustainability platform, which rewards carbon-neutral behavior in mobility.



owan Barnett, Head of Google.org for the EMEA and APAC regions says: “We received an impressive amount of applications for our Impact Challenge on Climate Google.org Program, and we and the jury of experts were convinced by the innovative concept of the AYR, where citizens, communities and businesses are rewarded for sustainable mobility behaviors. This sets the foundation for the implementation of local voluntary carbon markets. We are very excited to support CEiiA to continue to develop the AYR platform and we are excited to work with this team”.



AYR is a sustainability platform that rewards people and communities for not emitting CO2 — instead of making them pay for their emissions — enabling the creation of voluntary local carbon markets in which green digital credits circulate as “green tokens”. Users can exchange these credits for other services and companies can offset their carbon footprint locally, helping to accelerate the global transition to carbon neutral cities.



Regarding the relevance of AYR, the Minister for the Environment and Climate Action, João Pedro Matos Fernandes emphasizes: “Carbon neutrality will only be achieved with the involvement of municipalities and citizens. This project, by supporting the development of Local Carbon Markets, combining citizens’ behavior with decarbonisation through technology, is an example of the synergies between green and digital transition, and its contribution to accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral society .”



For José Rui Felizardo, CEO of CEiiA, “This is a great opportunity for Portugal, and for us CEiiA, as it reinforces our active contribution to this planetary challenge associated with climate change. This selection of the Google.org Climate Impact Challenge will boost our AYR platform and give us the ability to work closely with multiple partners around the world.”



CEiiA and 10 other international entities will work with Google’s Impact Challenge on Climate team over the next three months and the next two years will be dedicated to the scalability of AYR in cities around the world.

Tags: 5g, Internet, Empresas, Companies, Benfica

NOS announced that it provided the Sport Lisboa e Benfica stadium with 5G coverage, allowing supporters and the entire collaborative structure of the club to take advantage of the most disruptive characteristics of this new technology.



In practice, this means that the more than 65 thousand fans who fill the Estádio da Luz, when this becomes possible after the end of the limitations imposed by the pandemic, will have access to a mobile internet on average 10 times faster, with higher speeds at 1 Gbps.



This innovation will also increase the capacity of the network, making it possible to process a larger volume of data within the stadium. NOS explains that, before the pandemic, with the presence of the public, the average volume of data per game exceeded 1 Terabyte, and it is expected that with the 5G this number will double or triple, depending on people’s adherence to the technology.



There are also plans to transform the experience of those who watch Benfica games through immersive access to content, thanks to the combination of 5G with technologies such as virtual or augmented reality.

The Company DEFCON Policy [Discontinued]

Tags: Company, Design

3. Aftermath of Raising & Neglecting DEFCONs

— — —

In Case A DEFCON Is Raised:

When a DEFCON is raised, the respective Tech/ Design Lead in charge and the Account Officer should provide a report within 24 hours regarding i) what they are doing to address the issue, and ii) whether or not a deadline extension request is required and iii) what lead to the delay in the project.

Also, the project would immediately come under the purview of the State of Project Emergency Policy. The clauses applicable would be as follows-

(All of the following will be applied to everyone involved with the project, barring the most extreme circumstances, which will be judged on a case by case basis by the COO.)

The respective Tech/ Design/ Marketing Leads and the Account Officer will do a complete project status assessment and notify management of the new project deadline within 24 hours of deadline breach. Failure to comply will result in an unavoidable penalty, the severity of which will be decided jointly by the Head of Audits & Prosecution and the COO.

Flextime policies will be paused until project completion.

Mandatory working hours will commence at 9:00 AM, with ending hours being extended from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM until project completion.

Saturdays will be treated as normal workdays until project completion.

All leaves will be automatically canceled until project completion.

In Case A DEFCON Is Not Raised:

That being said, i) should a project go over deadline, or ii) make the client unhappy about the quality, without anyone within said project team having raised any DEFCON, at least 1 person within the team would be held responsible and terminated. Also, the Tech/Design Lead and the Account officer would be issued a memo to explain the causes of delay and why disciplinary action should not be taken against them.

Notifying the management of impending misses in deadline is the least that is expected of a professional, and thus the above will be observed strictly.
Reasons for the failure of the Kodak
Tags: Company, Kodak, Failure Stories, Failure, Reason

Kodak was one of the most dominant companies in its field for almost the entire 20th century. At a time where only huge companies could access the cameras used for recording movies, Kodak enabled the availability of cameras to every household by producing equipment that was portable and affordable.

Despite being the one and only company that brought a revolution in the photography and videography industries this company got bank corrupt in 2012.

Following are the reasons for Kodak failure or why did it fail being the biggest name of its time: -

It failed to reinvent itself: — Kodak started in the right direction with the invention of the digital camera but then went astray somewhere in the middle. Kodak invested billions in digital cameras but they were sticking to the long and complex procedure of printing they failed to understand that online photo sharing was the new business, not just printing. But after a long time, they finally embraced the simplicity of digital cameras.

It failed in re-emerging itself: — Wherewith changing times, Kodak failed to reform its business models, quite contrary to Fuji. Fuji, on the other hand, explored new business opportunities besides the film business, like videotapes and magnetic tape optics, office automation. Fuji entered a joint venture with Xerox. Where Fuji was able to embrace and adapt to disruptive changes in the market Kodak failed in re-emerging itself in this new era of digitization, globalization, and automation. Instead of adapting to the time, just like Fuji, it tried to challenge it and gained nothing out of it.

Complacency and the fatal arrogance of achieving ultimate success: — Kodak was failing to keep up even before the digital revolution when Fuji started doing a better job with the old technology, the roll-film business. With the complacency so rock-solid, and no one at the top even devoting their priorities toward turning that problem into a huge urgency around a huge opportunity, of course, they went nowhere. Employees were buried under so much hierarchical pressure, and their voices were unheard, leading to a complete mess in the future. As the inventor of the digital camera, Steve Sasson, who was an electrical engineer at Kodak told his bosses about his invention, their response was, “That’s cute, but don’t tell anyone about it.”
