Almost a Norm

There are always chances that we are called upon to propagate a stylized model that enthuses a sense of security comfort and an assurance of control to a safe group of individuals. Even though many may choose a rather safe decorous techniques over flamboyancy, this method is far from exuding staid impression.

The best way to hope for a better tomorrow.... is to look so far into the past, and pave a way constructively to the very present we live in.  

Empowering the next generation of UAE Leaders today, by finding innovative to entice the young minds to probe their potential future, is definitely a good place to begin.  The recent career fair exhibition aimed at just that curating young minds in fields of interest be it literature, Science, Arts or Politics. 

Exhibition catered to a special series of motivational speeches designed to energize and empower and educate young minds. an intriguing competition called Think Science aimed at engaging teams of talented youth from all Emirates,  The Competition was design, to develop, and build science based innovations, and to apply science skills in solving practical problems.  

Watching young minds showcase interest in the fields of academic over social media or in electronic media that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback (i.e) 'video games!' To see literal interest in this exhibition was most certainly invigorating and refreshing.

Roll with the punches...

Rolling & Pitching weathering rough seas... and, we were still docked!!! 

Opening Ceremony of Terminal 2 at the Jabel Ali Ports was nothing short of production, performance and  excitement! of a full scale event.

Under the guidance of Jamal Majid Bin Thaniah the opening of Terminal 2 was orchestrated. In 2008 Mr. Bin Thaniah  received the 'Outstanding Achievement  Award' from the International Cargo Handling & Coordination Association (ICHCA) for his contribution to the field of Maritime Cargo.

Like the man himself, the Terminal aims to achieve a lot more in the future, built to house the likes of Customs, Dubai Municipality, and the Ministry of Environment all in one location. The facility is expected to inspect 300 - 400 containers in a day almost double from what the port currently handles.

Among the honoured dignitaries most of whom belonged to the board of Director of DP World, was Director General of Dubai Municipality Mr. Hussain Nasser Lootha part taking in this enormous occasion.  

A Big Thank you to Operations and Warehouse for a quick turn around of events for prioritizing this last minute, though small, yet a very high profile request. Sherin for managing to organize crew out of thin air at the very last minute, Savio and Darryl (my Romulus & Remus) for prepping kit and gear instantaneously    without    dissent.

Last, but most certainly not the least, the infamous MiB, who did not let language stand as a barrier between speech and presentation, it almost seemed that they took a crash course in the language of the land, overnight! Which allowed them to seamlessly oscillate between presentations and the presenters. Allan and Dulup worked fast and furious to setup stage and AV even incorporated rehearsals within the 4 hours of setup! kudos to you guys.

All I can say is 'ALMOE' is... cause YOU make it happen! Thank you for making me Proud!
