Campus Interview was set up through campus online resource. Was held in campus interview center. Basic human resource behavioral questions. Be sure to know, elaborate and answer anything on your resume. Was a relaxed, easy interview. Knowing more of the position details and company values are a positive additive. Unfortunately, still waiting for a decision after two weeks.

Employed, IT Industry
Javid has completed online and offline ID verification.
NEVER AGAIN! Out of my 20 guest, Javid and his friends were by far the worst guest. They left the apartment very dirty and did not even bother to tell me that a window sun-blind and a glass broke during their presence.
Tomas, to be fair the flat was left almost in the same condition as we have been handed (very dirty) and this review absolutely does not make any sense from your side. To add, we did not break neither the window nor the glass, as I have confirmed with my friends. This was done probably by the previous guests, was not checked properly and I would not direct the blame towards us. Also, there is cleaning fee for which we paid and there is a reason why guests pay this for minor cleaning of the flat. Finally, this flat is absolutely not for 5 people as communicated and is not central either. To be honest for the price charged, there is absolutely no value for money but I still left you a quite nice review for the future.
Javid was a very nice guest, friendly and clean! I reccomend him +++++
Javid e la sua ragazza sono stati degli ospiti ideali . Molto carini e disponibili .
Javid and Dimitri were great guests! Very friendly, curious and intelligent guys who were also very independent in their ventures despite not speaking Portuguese. They kept the room nice and neat and were very respectful of our own space and privacy. We hope you two had a great trip!

Independent Bar is one of the best bars/clubs in Orlando. Awesome collection of alternative music, great drinks, eclectic crowd.
Orlando is a great area to live, work, play, and hangout. Lots of nightlife too!
Ran through downtown taking pictures in every random spot we found.
The food in Orlando mostly blows, all chains and idiots who should not be running restaurants.
when riding bike drunk near the intersection of south and magnolia, be wary of the awful raised medians. they will send you flying to the ground.
You can never go wrong here for a couple reasons: Disney World and Universal Studios. Both great amusement parks and attractions. Also great resorts near by and great places to hit up.
Go real slow instead of having to stop and go. I think it's better for your car
This neighborhood is so ghetto that every once in a while you will find dirty diapers in the street!
Orland has some of the BEST community/ small theater because of the theme parks. Check it out. Theater Downtown, Mad Cow, Winterpark Playhouse, Shakes, The Rep and MORE.
Downtown Orlando is a small downtown but it is full of exiting places and colorful people.
Orlando is one of the safest cities late night, check or ember its romantic!
Excelente destino , sólo debes estar seguro de tener un GPS contigo en el auto para no perderte

Practicing has never been this fun—or this cool! Sing or play your instrument with a real orchestra listening and responding to you. Read more
Practicing has never been this fun—or this cool! Sing or play your instrument with a real orchestra listening and responding to you.
About this project
Sing with Cadenza!
There are more than 50 million vocalists in the US alone, and we can't wait to open up Cadenza to them! So, we have been hard at work researching how to make Cadenza work with the sound of a human voice, which is a tough technical challenge.
Free to sing your way ...
What you see in our video is a test of Cadenza accompanying a singer! We're several months away from making it work even more seamlessly, and we've already licensed a large catalog of pop songs, showtunes, Disney songs, classical works and many more types of songs.
We can't wait to empower singers of all kinds! With Cadenza you'll have the freedom to sing with your own interpretation, backed by rich, real musical accompaniment.
Why we're doing this
We're on Kickstarter to develop Cadenza for iPhone and iPad! Cadenza is an app that enables musicians to play concertos, sonatas and chamber music accompanied by a real orchestra following their every move. We're also building an app just for singing.
At Sonation, we create technology that empowers authentic musical expression. We are developing Cadenza to support musicians by making practicing more fun and rewarding.
Your Kickstarter pledge will help keep young musicians engaged in music!
Cadenza is unique—It's the only app that listens to you, anticipates how you're going to play, and adapts to you in real time. And the precision is uncanny. The app learns from you, fitting your playing better each time.
Cadenza is the only technology that uses recordings of real live musicians and orchestras, not digital instruments. Playing with Cadenza is the best way to play music how you want, with your own expressive nuances, surrounded by a rich world of responsive orchestral sound.
We've tested Cadenza with hundreds of musicians from the following institutions:
- Berklee College of Music
- Eastern Music Festival
- Interlochen
- Jacobs School of Music
- Juilliard
- Manhattan School of Music
- Mannes
- Metropolitan Opera Orchestra
- New England Conservatory
- Peabody Conservatory
- San Francisco Conservatory
- San Francisco Opera Orchestra
- Tanglewood
And we've heard your feedback:
You want this app on your iPhone and iPad!
(Can't wait? Try Cadenza right now on Mac here.)
In our conversations with musicians, we've heard two requests loud and clear:
We hear you!
The goals of our Kickstarter are twofold: to bring Cadenza to iOS, and to add more of the music you want. We are striving to make this app the best experience possible for musicians everywhere.
We will use the Kickstarter proceeds to fund iOS development and to expand the repertoire of available music. A meticulous process is required to convert recordings of orchestral and chamber music into a format that is playable on Cadenza.
How Cadenza works
1. Select your instrument
- Cadenza currently works with the following instruments: violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, trumpet, and french horn.
2. Choose your music
- There are currently about 50 musical works in the Cadenza library, including concertos, sonatas, and chamber music.
- These recordings are missing the solo part—that's where you come in!
- Choose from works by composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Bruch, Brahms, Mozart, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi and more.
- All of our currently available music can be seen here.
With your support on Kickstarter, we will be adding a lot more music! Check out what we plan to add on the Expansion List.
3. Play it your way!
- Plug in earbuds or speakers, start playing your instrument, and the orchestra will be right with you.
- For music where you come in first, the orchestra will wait for you to begin.
- Slow down, speed up, hold that fermata—you're free to play it your way!
- Cadenza adjusts to your changes instantly and gets better with each play.
4. Record yourself
- Record your rehearsals and mix your recordings with basic controls.
- Share your recordings with family and friends!
5. Complete control
- Decide where you want to start and stop. Take it from the top, or start from specific points like 4 measures before B.
- You can adjust the volume, tuning, and following sensitivity of the orchestra.
- After you play a passage the way you like it, you can train Cadenza to play it that way again the next time.
App Features
- Works with nine different solo instruments
- Over 50 pieces of standard repertoire
- Includes PDF sheet music for solo part
- Play along with orchestra that adapts to your way of playing
- Train Cadenza to be more accurate
- Export recordings with basic mixing features
- Connect with musicians around the world who share your interests
- Create your own sections to rehearse (upgrade required)
- Adjust accompaniment tuning (upgrade required)
- Turn off adaptive accompaniment for practicing (upgrade required)
About Sonation
At Sonation, we believe that music begins with you. Our mission is to enhance, empower and celebrate your musical voice and talent. We are a three-person team of musicians with diverse backgrounds. Our expertise ranges from computer science, math, digital audio production, and software design to music performance and composition, business strategy, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Our company was born out of the Deans' Cultural Entrepreneurship Challenge at Harvard University, a contest spearheaded by Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Project. Out of 70 contestants, we finished as runner-up! We are currently in residence at the Harvard innovation lab.
Our Team
Chris Raphael (left) is our CTO and inventor of our core technology. A former professional oboist, Chris has been working on practical technology to help musicians for two decades. He is one of the world's leading experts in automatic accompaniment.
Ann Chao (center) is our CEO, a former strategy consultant and Harvard MBA. An amateur pianist and flautist, she has been passionate about arts from a young age. She worked on the executive strategy team at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
Paul Smith (right) is our CMO, a tech entrepreneur, cellist and former student of Leonard Bernstein and Celibidache. He founded and led a SaaS startup out of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, as well as the Fauxharmonic Orchestra, a digital music production company that serves media producers and composers.
Why we need your support
We are a small company that was founded in the summer of 2013. We've been visiting musicians at the top orchestras, conservatories and training programs in the world to get their reaction and feedback. We promised many of them that we would build Cadenza for iPad and iPhone, and we've been hard at work doing just that.
We are well on our way to completing the app, but the Kickstarter funding will help us get there sooner and give us the ability to add more of the features you want:
1. Sharing and community-building.
- Incorporating a way to create and share recordings of your playing, including posting online and use for auditions
- Establishing and nurturing a community to connect with other Cadenza musicians and meet with musicians nearby who share your skills and interests
2. Give you the music you want.
- Right now our library is comprised of about 50 major works, but musicians have asked us to provide much more than that—especially shorter and easier pieces.
- Since each musical work has its own stylistic nuances, we take great care in fine-tuning each accompaniment before it is available to our users. This ensures each piece is ready to play as soon as you download it.
- We use recordings of real musicians playing (not synthesized sound), and each piece is flexible so that Cadenza can follow the soloist without compromising sound quality or the inherent expressiveness of the recorded accompaniment.
For a list of music we are planning to add, see the Library Expansion List.
With your pledge of $299 or more, we will add a piece of your choice from the expansion list within two months of the iOS launch. If you do not see the piece you want, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will discuss ways to accommodate your request.

Risks and challenges
Our team is very committed to making Cadenza the best that it can be. We have already created a fully-functional version for Mac, available for download from the Mac app store.
Although we have successfully tested the core functionality of Cadenza on iOS devices, we may encounter minor challenges in making the app operate seamlessly on both iPhone and iPad.
Other risks include the remote possibility that Apple will not approve the app (although our Mac app has already been approved), and that we will not be able to add all the music from the Expansion List in the planned timeframe.
We are working hard to address these challenges quickly and efficiently to ensure that we deliver Cadenza on time.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
Unfortunately, most Android devices will not support Cadenza due to the audio processing requirements for our software. But we're investigating ways to make it work.
Yes! That's why we're doing this Kickstarter campaign. Please check the Expansion List above for the list of pieces we are considering adding.
If you don't see the pieces you like, please email us at email@example.com.
If you're a Mac user (Macbook Pro/Air/desktop), you can already use Cadenza! We have over 50 pieces in the library. Download it here from the Mac app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cadenza-orchestra-that-follows/id525322035
No, not yet.
We're working on it! Cadenza currently works for monophonic instruments. As a polyphonic instrument, piano presents a unique technical challenge for the app to interpret a live performer accurately. Please follow us on Facebook or sign up for our mailing list at www.sonation.net to get our latest updates.

Smokers who have already broken their New Year resolution to quit the habit are being advised to try hypnotism.
The advice from a Surfdale resident comes in the wake of an increase in tobacco tax that started on January 1.
A standard packet of 20 cigarettes has gone up by more than $2 and four more increases are in the pipeline.
Stephanie Honeychurch is among other Waiheke residents free of the habit after being hypnotised and she is urging others to try it.
Stephanie started smoking in the 60s while she was still at school, when it was considered "cool".
Now she is celebrating being a non-smoker for 12 years and says hypnotism succeeded when all else failed.
"You have to want to give up but hypnotism relies on using the subconscious rather than will power. So for me, and other residents I know, it worked."
She says smoking is so addictive that she knows she cannot ever have another cigarette.
"It's a bit like being an alcoholic.
"You can't have just one. I once gave up for six months but started again before I tried hypnotism.
"I worked with a man who had given up for 20 years but when he had to give a speech at his daughter's wedding, he was so nervous he thought a cigarette would calm him down.
"He didn't stop."
Stephanie says the one-hour session with Howick-based hypnotherapist was relaxing and effective despite initial scepticism - about herself rather than his capabilities.
She was also given tips on driving away urges for the three days it takes for nicotine to leave the body, such as drinking lots of water and eating fruit.
Around 15 per cent of the population aged 15 and over smoke, according to the latest census figures from Statistics New Zealand.
"I just wish I'd done it earlier," Stephanie says.

I have been working at Lakeshore Learning Materials full-time (more than 10 years)
ProsI have had nothing but great experiences in my years with Lakeshore! I have been given opportunities to learn a variety of different departments which has increased my versatility and also kept me challenged. It is a fast paced environment but it makes the day move quickly and honestly I think most people prefer working on a team that moves with urgency. At Lakeshore you have a voice. Leaders are always willing to hear suggestions and creative thinking. Not all ideas will work, but I never feel discouraged by sharing them. Lakeshore is a family run company that truly feels like a family (a big one!). Also lots of perks such as profit sharing program, 401K, company fun days throughout the year, company on-site preschool and tram to take you to your car. Also, some departments have early hour schedules that allow employees to begin working as early as 6am and therefore can leave before the normal 5pm schedule.
ConsNot really any down sides. The parking at the main building can be tough if you arrive after 8am and restaurants in the area are not great, but the company has recently invited gourmet food trucks to the parking lot at lunch to help with that.

Application DetailsI applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Lakeshore Learning Materials.
Interview DetailsI was contacted by HR via phone regarding an Inside Sales Rep position. After showing up, I was asked to fill out an application, take two tests on paper, and an Excel test. I was then told by HR that the position I was interviewing for has already been filled and I shouldn't have been interviewed. Looks like they have a lot of communication problems internally. How disappointing! Two weeks passed by and I was contacted again to interview for an Administrative Assistant position (very misleading). I interviewed with a lady in HR and two managers. I was the very first person to be interviewed and the first to be hired. Everyone was very vague about the position (what department I would be in, what tasks and duties I would be accountable for, etc.) I think the only thing that made me an attractive candidate was the compensation I asked for, considering I've achieved a much higher educational level compared to everyone in the department I ended up in. The office setup is strange, as mentioned in other reviews, not to add, unsanitary. Working there, I've found roaches walking on my desk. The carpet is never vacuumed (looks like it has been there for 30 years) and certain people have designated spots on the dirty floor to keep stacks of paperwork by their desk - I guess they've never heard of folders or filling cabinets...
Interview Questions- As mentioned in other reviews, none of the questions were too difficult since you're not really given a chance to speak as they're not interested in you as a person and only ask pointless questions irrelevant to the job. Be careful when contacted by Lakeshore and ask many questions about what kind of work you will be expected to perform and how you will be evaluated. Be assertive and don't let anyone talk down to you while you're there (interviewed or hired). Stay away from small departments (overwhelming load of work, lots of politics and drama). Make sure the department you will be hired in is culturally appropriate for your personality (Reps who are the same age, share some sort of commonality with - family dynamic, etc.) or they will not include you in any discussions or activities and you will end up feeling inferior for something that's not at all your fault. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsI received an offer letter via email with the scheduled start date, my hourly rate, and a statement: "Medical and dental benefits will become effective 90 days from your start date." I was asked to reply with "Accept" in the body of the email.Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview

Description: Filmmaker Cass Warner Sperling explores the story of her grandfather Harry Warner and his three brothers Abe, Sam, and Jack, who forever changed the face of Hollywood by creating Warner Brothers Studios. It all started with a simple storefront theater, cobbled together with spare chairs from a funeral home and a sheet tacked to the wall. Few could have foreseen that the four brothers behind that endeavor would eventually go on to create one of the most powerful movie studios ever. Each endured their fair share of personal hardships along the way, but the fruits of their labors can still be tasted today thanks to the success of films like Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino. The Warner Brothers believed that as filmmakers they bore a heavy social responsibility to create films that weren't just entertaining, but socially relevant as well. This is the story of four brothers who never compromised their original vision, told by the very people who knew them best.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Hi: 11° Lo:2°
FAMILIES in Bromsgrove and Rubery will be seeing improvements start to their local areas in the next few weeks.
The upgrades to the three parks in Rubery, Marlbrook and Aston Fields have been designed with the help of local children and adults and will cost around £208,000.
The improvements will include a wide range of new play equipment, landscaping and planting, safety surfacing, pathways, benches, litter bins and other associated works.
Work by Bromsgrove District Council got underway at Rubery's St Chads Park on Monday (January 27), Aston Fields Play Area's revamp is due to start on February 10 and the area on Braces Lane, Marlbrook, on February 24.
Coun Michael Webb, responsible for leisure services, said: "I am delighted to unveil these extensive improvements to three parks.
"When you look at the parks we've upgraded recently, it's no wonder kids love them so much.
"The quality of modern play equipment is amazing especially when you consider what we had just a generation ago."
The council intends to continue working towards improving and maintaining the district's other 70 plus parks and open spaces as well.
