Our Solutions
A syndicated study is to research what a car pool is to commuters – it's a shared vehicle with shared costs. In a syndicated study, subscribers share the cost of data collection for the set of core questions. Thus, the report cost is only a fraction of what it would have been if a custom study had been done just for you.

The innocent image is an illusion – this is especially true for the omnipresent medium of photography. This is precisely the artistic starting point for Anne Collier. Born in Los Angeles in 1970 and currently living in New York, her conceptual works are based primarily on found materials from pop culture of the 1970s and 1980s; on photos gleaned from magazines, advertising, record covers, book illustrations and film stills. By photographing these printed images and putting them into new contexts, she pursues a reflexive archaeology of the uses of photography. Collier is interested, above all, in images with an emotive visual undertone, such as waves, eyes, clouds and romanticised sexism. With analytical elegance, Collier reflects the deceptive imagery that shapes our everyday lives and, in doing so, she reveals the tension between the photographic subject and the act of photographing.
The exhibition and publication, published by Hartmann Projects, were created in collaboration with the Sprengel Museum Hannover.

College Students are Graduating with Even More Debt
The cost of earning a college education has been a concern for many families for years. A new report reveals that this concern should be increasing because the average amount of debt that a student graduates with has also been increasing.
According to the New York Times, the Project on Student Debt reports that the average college senior graduated in 2009 with $24,000 in debt. This is up six percent from 2008.
The unemployment rate for recent college graduates has also increased since 2008. It is now 8.7 percent, which is the highest annual rate on record. Read the rest of this entry »

A timber-framed farmhouse of early-mid C17 date, with later alterations and additions, including a 1990s refurbishment as a private dwelling. The 1990s cross wing at the south end is of lesser interest.
A timber-framed farmhouse of early-mid C17 date, with later alterations and additions, including a 1990s refurbishment as a private dwelling. The 1990s cross wing at the south end is of lesser interest.
MATERIALS: it has a brick plinth supporting a cement-rendered oak frame of close studding. The roof to the main range roof, which was probably originally thatched with reed, is now covered with black glazed pantiles, while the roof to the late-C20 cross wing is of red pantiles. Stacks are of late-C20 brick.
PLAN: the house is aligned north to south and was originally of a lobby-entry and low-end through passage type. In the 1990s the plan changed to an L-shape with the addition of a two-storey cross wing at the south end and the blocking up of the lobby entry door.
EXTERIOR: the house is of two-and-a-half storeys with an east-facing principal elevation of five asymmetrical bays. All windows and doors are uPVC replacements installed in the 1990s. To the ground floor, from left to right, there are three-light casement windows to the first and third bays, while the remaining three bays, including the blocked lobby-entry doorway to the second bay, have two-light casements. Set between the third and fourth bays is the former low-end through passage which now contains a part-glazed door of two-lights. To the first floor, the first and third bays have three-light casements while the fourth and fifth bays have two-light casements. The attic has two box dormers with three-light casements.
The right-hand return comprises a 1990s cross wing addition of which the left-hand half is gabled to continue the original roof line of the main range. The ground floor has three-light and two-light casement windows to the left-hand side and centre respectively while an early-C21 uPVC conservatory* projects at the right-hand side. Above, the first floor has three, two-light casements.
The left-hand return is blind.
To the rear, the gabled cross-wing has two-light casements to each floor, while its right-hand return wall has a horizontal rectangular window to the ground floor. To the right, the ground-floor of the main range has two, two-light casements separated by an oculus set within the former east-side doorway to the low-end through passage. Late-C20 French windows stand at the right-hand end. The first floor has a single, two-light casement and two, three-light casements.
INTERIOR: although the interior is now divided by modern stud partitions, with contemporary fixtures and fittings, along with the rebuilding of the back-to-back fireplaces in the 1990s, an almost complete timber frame of early-mid C17 date remains in situ. Much of the timber displays carpenters' marks in the form of Roman numerals.
The ground and first floors are divided into five bays, plus a smoke bay, by large, chamfered ceiling beams, all with elaborately carved ogee and nicked stops. The common ceiling joists are of light scantling and fairly deep in section with the presence of nail holes for lathes suggesting that the ceilings were plastered at one time. The principal posts have long jowled heads connected to the tie beams and wall plates with the normal assembly method of construction. Empty mortices demonstrate that there were originally arch braces from the principal posts to the tie beams but these have now been removed. Apart from the principal posts, along with some stud work to a first-floor partition wall, the surviving studwork is not exposed but peg holes indicate their positions. A small section of the west-side bressumer in the north-end room was replaced in the 1990s.
The south side of the ceiling beam to the former low end displays evidence for the existence of a former partition fixed to the beam with half-lapped and dovetail joints. As the joints were cut in the beam's south face rather than the underside, this suggests that the partition was an afterthought. In the centre of the beam is a mortice for a now removed post which corresponds to the subdivision of the lower end into two unheated service rooms.
Access from the ground floor to the first floor is by way of a wooden winder staircase. While the staircase is in its original position, the treads and risers are probably C18/C19 replacements. Directly above is a smaller straight-flight and winder staircase which provides access to the attic. Again the stair is in its original position, and the wooden treads and risers are believed to be original.
The A-frame roof structure is comprised of principal trusses which do not correspond directly to the tie beams and are fixed to the wall plates. It has simple collared principal rafters, of which some have been removed, and two sets of butt side purlins.
Although the house was extended with the addition of a two-storey cross wing in the 1990s, the principal posts at this end still appear to survive, displaying mortices for now removed braces.
* Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, it is declared that the early-C21 conservatory adjoining the 1990s cross wing is not of special architectural or historic interest.
The precise origins of Home Farm House are unknown, but given the historical development of Bracon Ash, along with evidence from the building's structural fabric, it appears to have originated as a timber-framed house in the early-mid C17. During the C17 and C18, as a result of rising agricultural prosperity in the area, several large houses and farms were built in Bracon Ash, and Home House Farm is believed to be one of these. An internal inspection has shown that the house was originally of five unequal bays, plus a smoke bay, with a basic lobby entry plan. The central back to back fireplaces served a south-side living room and a north side service room, both of two bays, while an unheated buttery and pantry accommodated the fifth bay at the south end. It is believed that the lower end was also equipped with a through passage of which the west-side doorway now serves as the main entrance. Little is known of the building's subsequent history, other than it being documented as belonging to the Mergate Hall Estate in 1800. By 1882, when the first edition Ordnance Survey map of the area was published, the farmhouse had been extended to the south with the addition of a sixth bay. During the second half of the C20 this single-storied addition was occupied by Bracon Ash Post Office. In the 1990s the building was refurbished and extended as a family home. Alterations at this time included blocking up the original lobby entry doorway with a window, the replacement of the single-storied southern bay with a two-storey cross wing, and the rebuilding of the central stack. Cement render was also applied as an exterior finish and all the windows and doors were replaced with uPVC units.
Home Farm House, a former timber-framed farmhouse of early-mid C17 date, with later alterations and additions, including a 1990s refurbishment as a private dwelling, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Architectural interest: as a well-preserved example of a vernacular farmhouse dating from the early-mid C17;
* Degree of survival: it retains a largely complete, close-studded timber-frame which displays a high-level of craftsmanship in its carpentry;
* Legibility: despite some external alteration, the original lobby-entry and low-end through passage plan is still readable;
* Historic interest: built during a significant period of agricultural prosperity in Norfolk, its historic fabric clearly reflects the wealth and status of its original yeoman owner;
* Group value: it has a strong historical functional relationship with five listed buildings within its immediate vicinity, all of which formed part of a C17 agricultural community under the ownership of Mergate Hall (itself listed Grade II*).

For Men
For Men
What does it mean to be a "real" man? Unemotional? Brave? Strong? Proud? In control? These stereotypes can be found the world over, but are especially heightened in the MENA, where traditional gender roles are firmly entrenched in family life.
As George Makeen explores in his blog post, Middle Eastern men are expected to be strong, tough, and able to provide for a family. But in a region experiencing conflict, uncertainty, economic strain and high unemployment rates, the pressure can become too much. Without stable employment, many young Middle Eastern men are unable to afford a dowry or a house, so they are forced to delay marriage. In the MENA, marriage is seen as a rite of passage to adulthood – which means if they remain unmarried, young men still live under the control of their parents, further adding to their crisis of identity.
This build-up of pressure has a devastating effect on men's self-esteem and mental health. In a recent study across the MENA, it was found that up to 38% of men were suffering from depressive symptoms, with conflict and unemployment frequently mentioned as causing factors. Between one-fifth and half of men reported being ashamed to face their families because of lack of work or income.
In particular, Syrian refugee men felt a sense of lost masculine identity as a result of the conflict and displacement.
In the UK, around 1 in 8 men have a common mental health problem, but they may be reluctant to seek help – often because they feel it makes them less of a "man". The same is true of Middle Eastern men – but in a culture where mental health is a taboo topic, even if they did want support, they would have no easy access to psychological care. SAT-7 is helping to fill this gap, by broadcasting professional, psychological advice, directly into people's homes.
SAT-7 also seeks to introduce men to the ultimate example of a real Middle Eastern man – Jesus Christ. He showed what real strength and power look like: laying down your life in love for other people. Pray that husbands, fathers and sons across the region will meet with Jesus through SAT-7's TV programmes, and be given a new heart of openness, humility and love, modelled on Him:
"Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:6-8) ∎
"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet" (John 13:14-15). Thank God for the perfect example of humility that is found in Jesus. Pray that men across the region would learn to follow His loving example.
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me" (Psalm 28:7). Pray that the men of the MENA will realise that they don't need to do everything in their own strength – because God will help them.
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). Pray for men who are struggling with their mental health. Ask that God will renew their minds, and help them find support.
"Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God" (Hebrews 12:28). Pray for refugee men who feel a loss of identity because of displacement from their home or country. Pray they will find their identity in God, whose kingdom cannot be shaken.
Wed 20 March
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Thank God that George was able to admit his weaknesses to his daughter. Pray that more men will have the courage to open up to others.
Thur 21 March
"But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness" (1 Timothy 6:11). Pray that SAT-7 will be able to broadcast more men's shows which teach men how to live a godly life.
Fri 22 March
"All of you, clothe yourselves with humility towards one another, because, 'God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble'" (1 Peter 5:5). Pray that God will give Middle Eastern men the humility to start questioning their harmful attitudes towards women.
Men under pressure
George Makeen
George is from Cairo, Egypt and is SAT-7 Arabic Channels Programming Director. Here, he explains the cultural pressures facing Middle Eastern men, and how SAT-7 is showing them their true identity.
A few years ago, in a meeting with Maggie Morgan, the producer of SAT-7 show Needle and New Thread, I commented that women are less fortunate in our region because of all the difficulties they are facing. To my surprise, Maggie replied, "Men too are unfortunate and face huge challenges!"
Maggie didn't say that out of sympathy with me as a man, but she spoke of the unrealistic expectations our societies put on men. In my culture, men are still expected to be in control, to be the sole providers, to be tough and to never express weakness or cry. All of these unfair "masculine" expectations don't only fail to recognise and appreciate women's contribution to society, but also add a huge burden on men.
Marriage and fatherhood put me in the face of this cultural dilemma. One of the moments I felt most strongly connected with my daughter was when I shared with her my shortcomings as a father: that I am not perfect, and need to seek God's grace to cover me. I saw the understanding in her eyes – that she is also not expected to be perfect, that she is loved just because of who she is. It demonstrated to her that men are not heroes – we are human beings who need love and support, and, by the way, do cry sometimes!
In addition to the unrealistic cultural expectations placed on men, our region is facing financial pressure and a lack of opportunities, which only adds to the strain. The main problem in the MENA today, however, is not poverty, poor education, or political trauma – it's people losing hope that the situation can change, a heavy feeling of being trapped and seeing no way out. This kind of pressure and hopelessness impacts family relationships, and we are witnessing shocking numbers of divorces and broken homes.
In such times, people need to be reminded of the simple yet profound truth that we are not loved because of what we do or have, but simply because we are His sons and daughters. We try to point to this truth on our SAT-7 programmes. We have an impact when we present programmes not by people who pretend they know it all or are always right, but by people who share their challenges and weaknesses – who admit they too need God's grace to carry on.
In one of our marriage programmes, From Heart to Heart (read more next week), many viewers who experienced change through the show explained that what touched them most was that the presenters spoke about their life challenges and difficulties too. We try to show that, though life can take us up or down, our true value is found in being loved and cherished by our heavenly Father.
Please join me in praying that the men of the Middle East will put their hope in God, and find their identity in His love that never fails. ∎

Popular Nollywood actor, Kunle Afolayan has maintained his stance on his statement of being one of the most valuable movie producers in Africa.
The actors mentioned in a new interview with Ademola Olonilua that no actress dares offer him sex for role because most of them consider him so proud, they seem to be skeptical in approaching him in that respect.
He said:
"Personally I have never encountered a situation whereby an actress would offer me sex for a movie role. They would not even dare come to me. They say that I am proud.
"The social media may have some advantages, but it also has a lot of disadvantages. It is only in the past that people would say that a director asked an actress for sex in exchange for a movie role. These days, some actresses would reach out to the movie director or producer and tell him that they would do anything just to be in the film.
"Hardly would they say such to me. Such a thing does not come to me and if it ever happens, I will just wave it aside. I will not respond."
The movie maker said that, aside from acting, he was passionate about music. Stressing that he could have become a singer, he urged his fans to keep their fingers crossed as he could decide to launch a music career anytime. " I would have been a musician if I was not acting, I still sing for myself. If God wants me to go into music, then it will happen".

Life-Cycle Cost Adjustment Factors in Alternate Design/Alternative Bid Pavement Bids: Added Value or Added Controversy?

Journal or Book Title
Transportation Research Record
Alternative design/alternative bids (ADAB) provides a mechanism for the asphalt and concrete paving industries to compete for the same paving project. It operates on the principle of the market pricing of each material determining which is most economical when the bids are opened, rather than selecting the pavement type during design based on a life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA). This paper reviews including LCC-based bid adjustment factors in the ADAB award decision. Data are from a survey that received responses from 40 U.S. Departments of Transportation (DOT) and the Canadian province of Ontario, and a content analysis of 55 ADAB project outcomes in 13 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. Seven algorithms in use to calculate an ADAB bid adjustment factor were found, and six U.S. DOTs that award ADAB projects without an adjustment factor. The paper finds that the adjustment factor formula rarely influences the award decision and, generally, the pavement type with the lowest bid cost wins with or without the adjustment factor. The paper models the ADAB process in financial terms as an exercisable commodity option that accrues value from the differential rates of volatility between asphalt and concrete. It concludes that an LCC-based bid adjustment factor complicates the award process, creating potential for controversy over what the factor inputs are, and does not add value over bidding the pavement types head to head and awarding to the low bidder. The ADAB process increases the number of bidders and reduces unit bid prices for both pavement types.

MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Police recently cheered on the third class to complete its Youth Police Academy program, which was held this year from August 14 to 17.
Led by School Resource Officer Christopher Cerullo, the 24 cadets from sixth, seventh and eighth grade took part in hands-on activities and demonstrations to learn about the characteristics of law enforcement and what it means to be a police officer.
"These cadets should be commended for the hard work they put forth into learning and demonstrating the principles of discipline, leadership, and dedication," said Police Chief Lisa Parker in a statement. "I'm proud that these students decided to dedicate a week of their summer vacation to such a worthwhile program."
In addition to learning the history of the Manchester Township Police Department, the youth cadets were also given a tour of the Ocean County Police Academy in Lakewood and spoke with cadets there, witnessed SWAT demonstrations at the Ocean County Fire Academy, and were taught the basics of physical fitness, first aid and traffic safety.
On the final day of Youth Police Academy, the cadets were treated to a K-9 demonstration by K-9 Officers Marc Micciulla and Steven Wendruff, along with their partners Storm and Lynk.
"We're able to teach these cadets about what we as officers do on a daily basis, as well as to let them know that they should never be afraid to approach us to ask for help," said SRO Cerullo in a statement.
A graduation ceremony and pizza party marked the end of a successful Youth Academy, as Captain Todd Malland of the Manchester Police spoke to the graduating class and they received graduation certificates in front of their friends and family members in the Municipal Complex Courtroom.
Other facilitators of the Youth Police Academy were Sgt. Mike Leming, Ptl. Joseph Reilly, Ptl. Keith Craig, Ptl. Patrick Cervenak, Ptl. Michael Steffen, Ptl. Chris Walaszek, Detective Adam Emmons, Detective Danny Barker, the Ocean County Police Academy, Ocean County SWAT and Manchester First Aid and Rescue Squad.

Justine SIMEI-BARTON
A young New Zealand Samoan girl's commitment to a science project investigating worm farming creates misunderstandings that lead to an explosive conflict with her parent's religious and cultural beliefs. Although the girl is given a severe beating she continues to secretly work on her project, winning an important science prize. Her parents proudly boast to their church minister about their daughter's achievement, offering him her trophy as a donation to the church.
Program Note
Kasa lives in a slum in New Zealand. She is working on a project that shows how to use earthworms in processing wastes for a science fair at her school. Her father hits her because he finds earthworms she's put under her bed; but she never gives up her research. It's painful for her to endure poverty and oppression, but this kind of external pain cannot stop Kasa from embracing the challenges before her. Through stories of devastation vs. hope, oppression vs. challenge, and tradition vs. change, the director reveals the voice of Samoan immigrants in New Zealand which has seldom been heard. (Jay SOHN)
Justine SIMEI-BARTONJustine SIMEI-BARTON
Justine Simei-Barton has been a key figure in the emergence of a 'Pacific Voice' in New Zealand drama on both stage and screen. In 1987 she formed New Zealand's first Pacific Island drama company which aimed to bring the vitality of Pacific Island performance traditions into the context of contemporary theatre. The company produced a number of original devised works as well as a major out-door production of Rome & Juliet which transposed the drama to a nineteenth century Samoan setting. In 2000 she made the short film Brown Sugar for He Taonga Films. This was part of a broader project in which Justine worked as script development coordinator for a group of young Pacific Island writers whose scripts were produced as the Tala Pasifika series of short films. This series of six short films screened on NZ television and at numerous indigenous film festivals in the Asia Pacific region.

Editorial: After attacks, Clinton, not Trump, acted like leader
Within the space of 12 hours on Saturday, there were explosions in New Jersey and New York and a mass stabbing in Minnesota. Dozens of people were injured, though thankfully no victims were killed in what authorities are investigating as acts of terrorism. No question the events were scary: "This is the nightmare scenario" in a post-9/11 world, said Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. At the same time, Americans should feel reassured by how competently and seamlessly local, state and federal authorities responded to the attacks, prevented others and developed leads.
Even better, ordinary citizens — particularly those in New York and New Jersey who bear the scars of previous attacks — resolved not to give in to fear or panic. Instead, they helped out neighbors in need and got back to their business.
Less than two days after a bomb designed to do maximum damage exploded in the Chelsea neighborhood and other devices were found in New York City and New Jersey, authorities had identified and apprehended a suspect. Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, a U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan, was taken into custody after an apparent shootout with police in which he was wounded and two police officers were shot.
What motivated him, whether he acted alone or was influenced by or connected to international terrorist groups, will be the focus of the ongoing investigation by multiple agencies. The same kind of questions are being probed in the case of Dahir Aden, the 22-year-old who went on a stabbing rampage in a St. Cloud shopping mall before he was killed by an off-duty police officer. A news agency linked to the Islamic State called him a soldier of the terrorist group, and police said he asked at least one victim whether they were Muslim before assaulting them and referred to Allah during the attacks.
In commending law enforcement and counterterrorism officials, President Barack Obama on Monday stressed the importance of letting them do their jobs so as to prevent false reports or incomplete information. The obvious need for such prudence sadly — but not surprisingly — did not seem to matter to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Before there was any determination of the Chelsea explosion's source, Trump nonetheless proclaimed at a campaign stop in Colorado that a bomb had gone off. He may have guessed right, but that would be a reckless way to do business in the Oval Office.
Equally disturbing was Trump's bombast about how he would approach terrorism — "knock the hell out of 'em" — and maybe use racial profiling. By contrast, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wanted to know the facts, and called for the support of first responders and prayers for the injured. It was the kind of calm and caution one naturally expects from a leader.

Hi Dan,
I have a related question for you. (This appears to be a closely guarded technique, so feel free to weave and bob!)
I have a friend in the ad biz who does a ton of voice work for local businesses, and we've been trying to match the voice levels of some national ads. We've found that some of these spots absolutely jump out of the speakers on broadcast and no matter what we do to his spots, we cannot get the same effect. We were able to get ahold of a couple of these spots, and I've done a little analysis of them here in the studio.
What I've found, is these spots have a much higher crest factor than I would have thought, and they appear to have some subtle phase manipulation on both the voice and the music bed. Again, listening to these spots in the studio, they are nothing spectacular, but when these things hit the air, they absolutely POP.
Any comments?
Also- Terry,
Many, Many Thanks to you for hanging here and sharing your experiences making many of my all time favorite records!
Zep III changed my life. And Fandango was the first album I ever purchased!

The FINANCIAL -- The sale is subject to regulatory approval and expected to be completed in 2019. The transaction's effective date is 1 January 2017.
As part of the agreement, Noreco will assume all of Shell's existing commitments and obligations, including the Tyra redevelopment and the decommissioning costs associated with the assets.
The sale represents production of some 67,000 boe/d (Shell share) in 2017. Under the agreement, Shell Trading and Supply and Shell Energy Europe Limited will continue to have oil and gas lifting rights from the SOGU assets for a period after completion.
The transaction is a share sale which means that, upon completion, local SOGU staff primarily dedicated to DUC will continue to be employed by their current entity, which will be owned by Noreco at completion.
This transaction has no direct impact on Shell's other businesses in Denmark. Following completion, Shell will retain a Downstream presence in Denmark through A/S Dansk Shell, which includes the Fredericia refinery. The network of Shell-branded retail stations in Denmark continues to be operated by DCC. Shell will continue to evaluate options to grow new business in Denmark if relevant opportunities present themselves.

Second hand cars sale are still a thriving business even though the scrappage schemes have never been more attractive.
Websites like Autoweb, Fish4cars and Carcraft offer a very comprehensive search system whereby you simply input the make and model of the car you're interested in and they display all available matching vehicles along with relevant information such as price, mileage, amount of previous owners and details of the dealership.
These sites are free for prospective purchasers to use.
Another option is publications such as Auto Trader or the Buy and Sell. These advertise both private and commercial sales. Reading through the sections that advertise the car you're interested in should give you an idea of how much you can expect to pay.
The prices vary according to mileage, modifications and it's a general rule of thumb that garages are more expensive than private sales but garages generally offer some form of warranty, unless the car is marked "trade only" or "sold as seen" and in that case, the garage is not under any obligation once the purchase is completed.
The nature of the used car industry means that there are many vehicles with defects being sold on so it is always advisable to bring a mechanic with you to look for the obvious signs of engine/ gearbox trouble.
Even if a car has recently passed the NCT, which means the value of the car increases, that does not rule out the possibility of major engine issues being concealed. An NCT is a basic test of roadworthiness and not a comprehensive engine health check.
Many SIMI mechanics offer a pre purchase check on used vehicles. This means that they drive out to where the car is and look over it. They'll write a report detailing even the smallest flaws and this will let you make an informed decision on whether to complete the purchase. You can expect to pay from around £90 to £150 for this service depending on how far the mechanic has to travel and on his own rates.

When April started, her kindness and passion for her discipline showed. It is one of those things that inspires you to be better and hone your own skills as she does. April has been a team member for eCampus for about 4 months now and has created incredible designs for the department. Whenever we have a new marketing campaign or event happening, April is in charge with creating the designs for the flyers and posters. Her work has been published on our eCampus home page and posted all throughout the university departments.
She hopes to be a UI Designer for a creative, inclusive and innovative company. April says, "My favorite part of working at eCampus are my co-workers because they were welcoming and inspiring. I also get incredible opportunities to create designs for my department and learn more about Graphic Design from my creative collaborators". As if April is not talented enough, she can also play 8 musical instruments. The future is bright for April and I know the world will witness her incredible designs.

While the majority of people in Budapest still order taxis over the phone, mobile apps are gaining traction, with the average fare amounting to HUF 3,000, according to a survey carried out for major city taxi company Főtaxi.
One taxi trip lasts 7 kilometers on average, the survey found. More than half of respondents said they use a taxi at least once a year.
The majority of respondents have one or two travel-related apps dowloaded to their phones. The most popular such app is Google Maps, followed by traffic monitoring programs and public transport information app BKK-futár.
About 26% of thoee surveyed have an app on their devices which is designed specifically for ordering taxis. More than two-thirds of those who have such apps say that one of the most important benefits is being able to see when the car arrives.
The most important expectations with respect to taxi apps are accuracy and reliability. This is followed by the speed of the taxi's arrival to the pickup location and an easy-to-use platform.
Interestingly, there is a significant difference in the priorities of different generations. Some 72% of Generation Y users named speed the most important aspect, while most Generation X respondents prioritize easy usability and being able to calculate the expected costs of the trip.
Főtaxi also announced adding new features to its app. By turning on "silent driver," the customer can discreetly indicate that he or she does not want to chat with the driver during the trip. There is also a new coupon management system, and the user can also communicate with the driver through the app while waiting for their cab, in order to specify details of the pickup location.
"With these new features, the pressure on the dispatch center will ease as well, so even those who stick to ordering by phone will get their taxis faster," said Zsolt Angyal, CEO of Főtaxi.

Pupils from South London school have a 'MaDD' day at the Mayhew Animal Home
PUBLISHED: 16:21 13 October 2016 | UPDATED: 16:34 13 October 2016
Pupils from a South London school came to Kensal Green for a 'MaDD' day out helping an animal charity.
The Mayhew Animal Home, in Trenmar Gardens, welcomed pupils from Radnor House Independent School in Twickenham, who did voluntary work for their annual Make a Difference Day (MaDD).
Eight pupils, ranging from ages seven to 18-years-old, accompanied by their assistant headteacher Henry Meller, got to work helping to clean out The Mayhew's cat cabins, clearing out the kennels, and hosing down their sensory garden.
Year seven pupil, William, said: "I'm really enjoying my time here helping to clean out the cat cabins and cuddling kittens."
"I want to be a vet when I'm older, so volunteering here for the day is perfect for finding out more information and learning more about the cats and dogs that need new homes."
Mr Meller, added: "This is our third time coming to The Mayhew for our Make a Difference Day.
"I get a huge amount of letters requesting to volunteer for the day at The Mayhew – I have to do it by ballot just to make it fair."
"This is a great experience for all our pupils and will hopefully encourage more of them to volunteer for a charity or organisation. As well as interacting with different age groups, it is also a chance for them to learn about what it is involved in running an animal home and what goes on behind the scenes."
Gillian Notton, The Mayhew's head of animal welfare, said: "It is great to team up with Radnor House for their Make a Difference Day and every year we look forward to welcoming them back. The pupils helped us so much on the day and they were very hard working and enthusiastic."
"We strive to tackle the companion animal welfare crisis from every possible angle and we conduct various educational projects for both adults and children. Make a Difference Day is a great opportunity for young people to learn about animal welfare, the importance of responsible pet ownership and safety around animals."

Google Says (Some) Missing Features Will Be Added To New Google Maps. Google took its new Maps site out of beta this week, but many users noticed that some of their favorite features from Classic Maps were missing.
Not to worry, Google says. It's aware of that and plans to bring at least some of those missing over to the new Maps site in the near future. The team will continue to work to improve the new Google Maps, so look out for better performance and additional features, like send to car, in the coming weeks. That mention of the Send To Car feature is as specific as Google would get in its replies to our questions about the missing features we've noticed.
That list includes: 1.) 2.) 3.)
G buys Nest. Google X Marks The Spot On 'Smart' Contact Lenses. Google+ Gmail consolidation. France slaps Google with maximum fine, citing privacy concerns. Gmail scanning becomes censorship. Earlier this weekend I was asked by a journalist friend of mine if I would mind answering a few questions for an article he was writing about the draft Data Protection Regulation and Safe Harbour.
The comments were for a feature article in the first 2014 print edition of Infosecurity Magazine. Needless to say, I was happy to comment on the issue which, I know well and have worked on for the better part of the last 4 years; so this morning I sent my response - a little wordy but relevant none the less and hopefully useful for his article.
To my surprise, just seconds after hitting the send button, I received the following email back from Google's Gmail servers: Our system has detected that this 550-5.7.1 message is likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent 550-5.7.1 to Gmail, this message has been blocked.
Google logs record 21.5M URL takedown requests in September. Google In Its Advertising Measurement War With Facebook. Google has introduced a new tool to allow advertisers to more accurately measure how many people are buying products after seeing an AdWords advertisement in Google search.
In a post on the AdWords blog, Google announced that its "estimated total conversions" product will use Google login data to determine how many people purchased a given product after seeing an advertisement in Google search. What's important about the new metric is that it will track these purchases, known in the marketing industry as "conversions," across smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, and tablets. India will reportedly ban use of US e-mail services.
The Indian government will reportedly ask all its employees to stop using Gmail for communication purposes to increase the security of confidential government information, amid revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden on cyberspying by the U.S.
The Times of India reported on Friday, citing a senior official in the ministry of communications and information technology, that the government plans to send a formal notification to about 500,000 employees, banning them from e-mail service providers such as Gmail, which have their servers in the U.S. The employees would instead have to use official e-mail services by India's National Informatics Center (NIC), J. Satyanarayana, secretary in the department of electronics and information technology, said in the report.
"Gmail data of Indian users resides in other countries as the servers are located outside. However, a spokesperson from Google India said the company has not been informed about the ban, and cannot confirm on speculation.

Claimants (redacted) vs Google Inc. - Claim Number: HQ13X03128 Olswang LLC recently sought permission from the High Court in the UK to serve their claim on Google Inc. in California. This is an important step in the process as under English civil procedure rules you can't serve on a defendant outside of the jurisdiction without the permission of the court - which means the High Court has looked at the case and seems to deem it significant enough to grant permission to serve. The paper work for the case has now entered the public domain so we will take this opportunity to look at the "general particulars of claim". Google faces sanctions in Europe over privacy policy. A German data protection authority has begun a formal action against Google over changes the company made to its privacy policy last year.
The French privacy regulator announced a similar action last month. The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information announced Thursday that it will join other European privacy regulators in taking action against the company. De-Googling « Eric Lee. I wonder if that's a word.
It should be. I've been de-Googling my life today. It's hard to remember, but there was a time when Google was cool. Back in the 1990s, I remember reading about it, and checking it out and discovering a blisteringly-fast search engine without all the garbage you found on sites like Yahoo.

Hey YouTube, I Don't Want To Use My Full Name. It's been a while since I logged in to my personal YouTube account, but when I did so a little while ago, I found out that YouTube wants me to start using my full name.
I hadn't heard about this before, but it looks like they're finally aggregating information from my different accounts to suggest that I use my full name as I entered it on my now defunct Google+ account. Fortunately, I was able to decline and continue using my username for now. However, when I clicked "I don't want to use my full name," I had to pass through one more hurdle before continuing to my home page. Sadly, I suspect this is just the first step. It may become harder and harder to keep using my username in the future. Like this: Le cours de l'action Google à son plus haut historique.

Google – YouTube: Une fois encore, le géant montre qu'il s'investit dans la cause des Humains en ouvrant une chaîne spécialement réservée à une information objective concernant les droits humains.

Legal action is threatened against Google for dropping the name Persian Gulf from its Google Maps.
DUBAI: Iran's Foreign Ministry threatened on Thursday to take legal action against Google for dropping the name Persian Gulf from its Google Maps and leaving the waterway between Iran and Arab states nameless, state television reported. "One of the seditionist acts taken as part of the soft war against the Iranian nation has been Google's shameless act to drop the name 'Persian Gulf' which is … against historical documents," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted as saying.
Japan Court Tells Google to Disable Autocomplete. A Japanese court has issued a provisional order requesting Google to delete specific terms from autocomplete, following a complaint from a man claiming it violates his privacy and has hampered his career. The challenge, which is said to be the first against the feature, centres around the results that show when entering the man's name into the search engine in Japanese. According to a report from Mainichi Daily News, his name — which is undisclosed — generates more than 10,000 words that are defaming or disparaging of him.
FRANCE 24 Français - Google+ - Dans quelques heures, à 13h, France 24 vous invite à son… _paladine_: Who Regulates the Regulator? Take yourself back to May 2011, the month that changes to the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) were supposed to be transposed into national laws across Europe; the purpose of the changes was to better protect European Citizens from unauthorised behavioural tracking of their online activities. This was a change I had pushed for over the previous years through my privacy work, so obviously I was looking forward to seeing the outcome of what had been a very tiring and long process. Things were looking good at the beginning of the month, the Information Commissioner's Office were making very positive noises about the changes and it looked like everything was going to go ahead without a glitch.
Around the same time, Google held a "Big Tent" event in the UK and it was brought to my attention that Eric Schmidt had been seen entering 10 Downing Street around the same date.

VU Amsterdam students can find more information about registering for a secondary course or a minor on VUnet (use your VUnet-id).
If you wish to enrol as a secondary course student or to follow a minor at VU Amsterdam, then you must apply in VUnet. When doing so, you should not enrol for a complete study programme (for which you would need to apply via Studielink), but only for one or more courses at VU Amsterdam.
Contact the Student Desk if you have any questions about payment or submission of the BBC, or the educational office of your faculty if you have any questions about the contents of the course (for example about course schedule).
If you are an UvA student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Mathemathics and Informatics (FNWI) and are taking courses at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Faculty of Science) within the context of the joint programmes, then you will be automatically enrolled at Vrije Universiteit as a secondary course student after your enrolment at UvA is complete (this also applies to VU students, the other way around). Your enrolment must be completed on 31 August 2020. If this is not the case, then you must arrange being enrolled as a secondary course student yourself (see above).
More information about enrolment and re-enrolment for the joint programmes can be found at the website of the faculty:

I am using Microsoft Expression to build my webpage in asp.net with VB backend. I have a gridview that displays my products (it successfully connects to the database and displays the correct info). Expression allows for me to have an "edit" column with it. When you click edit the labels of the gridview turn to textboxes and you can change their values. When I hit Update though I get "Object must implement IConvertible."
I've done some reasearch on this and am coming away that it may be a bug? If this is correct can someone who uses VB explain why I'm getting this error and where to get the fix for it. Or more likley, it is a mistake on my end that I'm overlooking can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Los Angeles city and airport officials unveiled the renovated Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) May 26th, hailing the $737 million project for being completed on time and under budget.
The significant renovation was designed to make traveling through the terminal safer, faster and more convenient to passengers and is expected to help LAX retain its competitiveness as the premier West Coast international gateway, officials said.
This was the first major upgrade to the Bradley Terminal since 1984, when the one-million-square-foot terminal was originally built in anticipation of the Los Angeles Olympics, along with the double-deck roadway and concourses that connected airline ticketing counters to satellite boarding gates.
"This renovation project improves the travelers' experience as they pass through LAX, while enhancing passenger safety by reducing congestion in the airline check-in lobbies and on the curbside," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. "The upgrades also improve customer service so travelers' experiences in our great city will be positive ones that will make them want to return."
The three-year project, which began construction in February 2007, included major interior renovations to: airline check-in and passenger arrival lobbies; customs and immigration arrivals hall with larger, high-capacity baggage carousels; arrivals corridors; restrooms; in-line baggage screening system, and public art displays. Boarding gates were also upgraded, including two aircraft gates to accommodate new-generation aircraft such as the Airbus A380 super jumbo jet.
Along with a much more contemporary look, the terminal also incorporated improved accessibility for passengers with disabilities; upgraded utilities such as energy-efficient lighting, and fire-and-life safety systems; new restrooms, elevators and escalators; climate control/ventilation systems; new paging system and clearer signage (including dynamic video panels and digital signage that automatically updates flight information).
The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded the revitalized terminal LEED Silver certification for an existing building, the first for a renovation project at a U.S. airport.
"This is the first and only LEED Silver certified airport project for an existing building in the country, and where the work was performed in a fully operational terminal," said City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, whose 11th District includes LAX. "This is modernization at its greenest, and its best. I'm proud of our work here, and I challenge others to match it."
Airport officials noted that the largest single component of the project added 45,000 square feet of space to house a new $140-million in-line, checked-baggage security screening facility, which is designed to reduce congestion in the airline check-in lobby by eliminating the need for passengers to wait in line for their checked luggage to be screened.
In the arrivals lobby, walls of flat-screen displays and glass panels of changing light, and a circular LED (light-emitting diode) element provide a vibrant, colorful introduction to the city, officials note. The $22.9 million Enhanced Passenger Experience Project also included public art installations such as a permanent video art program, which is comprised of 17 artists/artist teams commissioned to produce original video artworks that can be viewed at two venues within the arrivals lobby.
The airlines at the Bradley Terminal also separately funded over $20 million to build new, larger first- and business-class lounges.
"Passenger-friendly terminals and conveniences, airplane-friendly taxiways and gates are all 'must-haves' as airports around the world compete for the economic vitality that world-class airports create," Los Angeles World Airports Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey said. "Our goal is to modernize LAX to ensure it retains its vital role as the cornerstone of Southern California's air transportation system."
The project was funded by a combination of sources, including passenger facility charges, revenue bonds, airline reimbursements and airport revenues.

The 2015 John Worsfold medallist and All-Australian wingman, who joined the club as the No.4 selection in the 2010 National Draft, said he was excited to extend his commitment to the club.
"It's an exciting time for the club," Gaff said.
"There are a lot of guys around my age as well as some senior players who are playing some great football, so we're in pretty good shape. That's just one of the reasons I've re-signed.
"The club has really looked after me since I arrived as an 18-year-old and I have really enjoyed it here. The club looks after its young players through people in the player welfare area like Ian Miller.
"It can be tough as a young player moving over and leaving family and friends, but the transition is made as smooth as it can be. I have been here for five-and-a-half years and it's great to get the contract done so I can concentrate purely on what we want to achieve in the next few weeks and beyond."
