Disintegrating, 2
Posted by David Dudley Field '25 under All Things EphBlog at 6:40 am
A Senior Williams Professor and I will be debating the following resolution: Resolved: Williams is disintegrating. Each Monday, one of us will make an argument. One week later, the other will respond. We will debate until we grow bored with the exercise. Readers are welcome to chime in at any time. Senior Professor went first. His words from last week are in quote blocks.
The College has abandoned its traditional standards for tenure for faculty.
Evidence? I have spoken with lots of Williams faculty and heard many complaints. I have never heard one claim that tenure standards are lower today than they were, at Williams, in the past. If anything, the consensus view is that tenure standards, especially for publications, are much higher now then they were in the 80s, much less the 50s.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, one in four of faculty members who stood for tenure received it. Note that a normal core of junior faculty hired consisted of 20 assistant professors. Half of these would wash out at the 3-year renewal mark, leaving 10 in the cohort who would apply for tenure in their sixth year. Only four of those who stood for tenure would receive it. This was the historical norm at Williams College.
I have heard similar numbers. Indeed, a (different!) senior professor suggested that this change was one of the two biggest in the last 30 years — the other being increased diversity among the students.
2. What is the current rate of tenure at Williams College? There is no longer a 3-year washout of faculty hired. Essentially anyone hired eventually stands for tenure six years after hire.
3. As best as one can tell, 98 percent of those faculty who stand for tenure receive it. In the few instances where faculty are denied, several are given tenure after appeals.
98% is a dramatic overestimate. The real number is much closer to 75%. See the detailed evidence provided by BN. Also note this comment:
Most top universities have tenure rates in the 70-90% range these days. Williams does not look to be at all unusual in that sense.
Correct. If a higher tenure rate is causing Williams to disintegrate, why don't we see the same thing at Amherst and Harvard?
But none of that matters! It is possible to have lax standards and only tenure 10% (if the initial pool you hire from is week). It is possible — and is the case at Williams today — to have rigorous standards and tenure 75% if your initial pool is very strong.
But we are only going to make progress with specific examples. Consider Political Science in 2017-2018:
There are two associate professors: Justin Crowe and Ngonidzashe Munemo. Laura Ephraim just received tenure last year and is now an associate professor. Compare this listing to the halcyon days of higher standards in 1987-1988, thirty years ago:
Annoyingly, there were no associate professors that year. But Raymond Baker and Richard Krouse were associate professors just a few years earlier, while Tim Cook and Mike MacDonald would be tenured in the next few years. Let's look at selected publications from Crowe, Ephraim, and Munemo:
Crowe:
Building the Judiciary: Law, Courts, and the Politics of Institutional Development (Princeton University Press, 2012).
"Westward Expansion, Preappointment Politics, and the Making of the Southern Slaveholding Supreme Court," Studies in American Political Development 24:1 (April 2010): 90-120.
"Where Have You Gone, Sherman Minton? The Decline of the Short-Term Supreme Court Justice," with Christopher F. Karpowitz, Perspectives on Politics 5:3 (September 2007): 425-445.
"The Forging of Judicial Autonomy: Political Entrepreneurship and the Reforms of William Howard Taft," Journal of Politics 69:1 (February 2007): 73-87.
Ephraim:
Archer, Crina & Ephraim, Laura & Maxwell, Lida. Second Nature: Rethinking the Natural through Politics. New York: Fordham University Press, 2013.
Who Speaks for Nature?: On the Politics of Science, by Laura Ephraim, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017.
Munemo
Munemo, Ngonidzashe. Domestic Politics and Drought Relief in Africa : Explaining Choices. First Forum Press, 2012.
How Will Climate Change Transform Governance and Regional Security in Southern Africa?" in Daniel Moran ed. Climate Change and National Security: A Country Level Analysis. (Washington, D.C.: Georgetown University Press, 2011)
"Social Protection in Post-Crisis Zimbabwe: Challenges and Priorities for Reform," in Dr. Admos Chimhowu ed. Moving Forward in Zimbabwe – Reducing Poverty and Promoting Growth. (Manchester, U.K.: Brooks World Poverty Institute, The University of Manchester 2009)
Munemo N. (2008) Political Incumbency and Drought Relief in Africa. In: Barrientos A., Hulme D. (eds) Social Protection for the Poor and Poorest. Palgrave Studies in Development. Palgrave Macmillan, London
We can quibble about these CVs. And note that I have not listed everything. But are they any less impressive than the CVs of the junior political science professors like Baker, Krouse, MacDonald and Cook at Williams 30 years ago? No!
I am happy to dive into the details for any department that Senior Professor prefers. A careful examination will show that the publication records of those tenured at Williams today are every bit as good as those tenured in the 1980s, much less then 1950s. To the extent that anything is "disintegrating" at Williams, we don't see it in faculty research quality.

As a former Williams College professor who taught in that political science department, I think I have the experience and practical knowledge to point out that you are quite wrong.
My personal experience, of course, it that the dissertation I finished up as a young assistant professor at Williams College was recognized as among the best in the nation by the APSA. There is no one on the present roster who has even come close to that sort of objectively spectacular achievement.
Crowe '03 (white male) looks comparable good. He is showing a substantial number of peer reviewed publications.
The weak spots above are Ephraim (white female) and Munemo (black male).
Notice that Ephraim shows no peer reviewed articles. Only a book chapter and what appears to be the published version of her dissertation at a low level university press. In comparison, by the time I was Ephraim's age, I had eight book chapters published and I was wasn't even employed as an academic.
Munemo has a book and a few book chapters published.
In contrast, in my era, Cook (white male gay) had multiple peer reviewed articles published prior to tenure featuring his quantitative research. Cook was eventually elected as the Treasurer of the APSA.
In my view, it is physically impossible to add faculty members for the purposes of racial or sex diversity and maintain high academic standards. In a merit based system, there would be a ton more white male conservative professors. There would be a lot more Asian scholars too. As I have said, Williams College was a great global leader in education. It went out of business in 1989.

Reinhardt, who arrived at Williams in (you guessed it) 1989, has his name on the bylines of 5 books. Is his work "spectacular" enough for you?

John Drew is an embarrassment to EphBlog, and that is indeed a difficult thing to do. But somehow Drew manages.
Recall that John Drew is the only professor in living memory to be denied reappointment in the Williams College Political Science Department. Recall also that Drew took his award-winning dissertation and turned it into … a book chapter in an edited volume published by a third tier press which went through no peer review. To public knowledge, Drew dropped out of academia after that and neither taught nor published again.
Just to set the record straight.
– Narcissus
I was the vote that brought Reinhardt (white male) on board instead of a less qualified minority candidate. I knew he was a star. I'm glad to see I was right.
– Snowed In
You're lazy and stupid. If you had half a brain you would at least view my LinkedIn profile before spewing nonsense. Contrary to your anonymous smear, I have taught at numerous institutions and published peer reviewed journal articles since I was at Williams College. My work has also appeared in some of the most important websites of interest to conservatives including Breitbart and American Thinker. I even have a film credit.
My dissertation was not condensed into a single book chapter. It was converted into eight book chapters and published, virtually word for word, exactly as I wrote it as a young assistant professor at Williams College. (In other words, the thesis that Williams College ruthlessly demeaned was already good enough and significant enough to be published as is.)
My publisher was the same one that published the work of Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn.
It changed forever the way we think about the origins of welfare programs in the U.S. It has been cited by the leading experts in the field and continues to be a resource even today. It also got strong positive reviews. Unfortunately, your post is vivid evidence of why the left can only win by telling outright lies. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Current Student	 says:
Damn, that money was going to charity.
John C. Drew, PhD, reports that he has had several part-time and short-term teaching jobs since being dismissed from Williams College thirty years ago, as well as a short stint at Hope International University. Congratulations. I stand corrected. One must admit, however, that it is an unusual employment profile for such a distinguished scholar.
As jeffz said at EphBlog in 2010, "this guy's resume makes Bernard Moore look like James MacGregor Burns"!
John C. Drew, PhD, also reports at LinkedIn his freshman year GPA at Occidential. If that is not sad and pathetic, I don't know what is.
And don't assume my politics.
David Dudley Field '25	 says:
We are not going to re-litigate JCD's academic CV. Further comments on that topic will be deleted.
I think it is useful to compare Tim Cook's accomplishments with present day Williams College professors. Here is his obituary from the Berkshire Eagle. I don't think any of the existing associate or assistant professors demonstrate such an outstanding level of talent. Cook died of brain cancer at 51. Apparently, he bailed out on Williams College in 2001 and became a professor in a journalism department in Louisiana. RIP.
Timothy E. Cook
It seems absurd to me to suggest that the accomplishments of either Ephraim (white female) or Munemo (black male) are anywhere near what Cook accomplished. I think it is perfectly clear that present political science department is a pathetic institution compared to the almost all white and all male department that hired me in 1986.
I am a Tim Cooke fan.
That said, it is hard to compare CVs across sub-fields.
Also, Senior Professor is claiming that Williams is disintegrating in an absolute sense. So, we should compare like-with-like.
Is Crowe as accomplished, at this point in his career, as Cook was. Absolutely! Lots of people, in fact, would give Crowe the nod in that head-to-head.
Is Ephraim as accomplished as Krouse — the theorist from that era to whom she is mostly directly comparable. Absolutely! (But condolences, as always, to Krouse's family. His death at such a young age was a tragedy.)
Is Munemo as accomplished as Alex Willingham, the African-American whom the department tenured in the last 80s? Absolutely! In fact Munemo is much more accomplished than Willingham was at that point in his career.
Crowe >= Cook
Ephraim == Krouse
Munemo > Willingham
Conclusion: Williams faculty quality, as measured by scholarly publications, as improved over the last 30 years, despite (or because of) the dramatic increase in the tenure rate.
Eph Parent	 says:
My child had Professors Crowe and Ephraim – loved them both!
Hypocrisy	 says:
David, for someone supposedly so invested in free speech, you're really into censorship.
I knew Richard Krouse. I attended his funeral and his wake. He was 40 when he died in a car accident. You can't compare him to Ephraim. Richard Krouse had published in the Journal of Politics and Dissent and had several book chapters…all as an assistant professor at Williams.
In my opinion, Alex Willingham was a complete and total affirmative action hire. There is no way that his work was even close to the quality and volume of the work done by similarly aged white professors. I believed then and now that hiring him was a huge mistake. To say that Munemo is an example of high standards simply by comparing him to Willingham is flat out insane.
As far as I can tell, Willingham represented a decline in standards in the 1980s. His level of quality was a sad aberration that later because the new, lower standard of excellence.
I don't think you have a feel for the quality of different peer reviewed journals. If you did, I don't think you would rate Crowe as highly as you do.
If you really want to see how low the standards are in the political science department, then compare the assistant professor records of Nimu Njoya and Tim Cook. Njoya, of course, will most likely benefit greatly from the new, easier to meet, hire them older, give everyone tenure standards of today.
Fragesteller	 says:
What does it say about standards, that DDF and John Drew are allowed to engage in the farce of purporting that they are in any way qualified to evaluate faculty research quality?
> purporting that they are in any way qualified
What qualifications does one need to evaluate published research in political science? Serious question!
Future Williams Dad	 says:
JCD:
I have not published any work in Breitbart or any other highly-rated peer-reviewed journals like you have, and I believe that's why my wife has left me for you. Please let me see her. I really miss her.
I think a neutral observer would conclude that John C. Drew, Ph. D. has some sort of personality disorder and shouldn't be engaged with. Take a look at his transient life, superficial accomplishments, and delusions of grandeur — he lives in the past and vociferously trumps up his irrelevant scholarship and loose celebrity connections. He's an incredibly sad person to look at, but I think if everyone agreed to ignore him he'd go away.
I hope he can find something more meaningful to do with his life than post on this blog, although I'm not hopeful. I really like checking in here and chatting with people who actually are in touch with the college and care about its future; JCD just complicates things.
When I was your age, my girlfriend and I were mentoring a fellow student who would go on to become president of the United States.
Today, you can open up history books and read about my college years, the friends I hung out with, and the things I did, said and wrote about as an undergraduate at Occidental College.
Something tells me that no one is ever going to be reading about your brief career at Williams College. You aren't a heroic figure like the courageous Zachary Wood '18.
The fact that you post anonymous comments is a sign that you are probably a milquetoast personality. Technically, the tone of your comments leads me to believe that you suffer from avoidant personality disorder.
You should come back here after you have counseling and gain the courage needed to post under your own name.

That Guy	 says:
Future Williams Dad,
You seem like a nice guy who is really lonely. Maybe we should go on a date? If you are interested, meet me at the top of the Empire State Building in six months' time.
That guy,
My two-year-old Trump-supporting son just set me up with his daycare teacher. Our first date last night was going really well until I remembered how angry it makes me that Williams College only supports "free speech" when it comes from radical Leftists but denies that same privilege to conservatives. I became so angry that I puked all over the dinner table at iHop.
That is why one should never remember anything.
Since I'm guessing it might not work out with the daycare teacher, I remain interested. Think of the amazing Williams babies we could make if one of us had a functioning uterus. Or at least, I don't have one. I should presume that you don't. Dads with uteri are a thing. Just the of thing a disgusting leftist-anarchist school like Williams would produce.
I remain your devoted,
Once again, John Drew is right , mediocrity and all – he's the first to tell you so!
Some food for thought when thinking about tenure now versus twenty years ago. While specific so sociology, I am sure it applies more broadly
March 19th, 2019	at 10:50 pm
I read the sociology article you linked us to with great interest. It looks to me like the increase in citations is mainly due to reduced quality.
The number of scholars with articles in the top two journals in the field, with books, or even book chapters all look pretty much the same over time.
The increase in productivity appears to be largely through providing credit for scholars publishing in non-elite peer reviewed journals, journals outside the discipline of sociology, or in the category of other publications.
This article reminds me of my surprise when the terribly ill Dr. G. mentioned a flurry of articles she wrote during what appeared to be a manic episode. The articles she spoke about where not in peer reviewed publications. They were largely blog posts.
It looks to me like true scholarship is no longer valued as much as it was when I was a young academic, who finished his Ph.D. after being hired by Williams.

"On Patrol's Commemorative WWII Issue is Filled With Inspiring Stories of Service"
William O. Darby: Leading the Way
Tweeton Twitter
"He was the bravest man I ever knew."
Those were the words Army General George S. Patton used to honor William Orlando Darby upon the latter's death near the end of World War II. Famously combative and candid, Patton always meant what he said.
Darby was born and buried in Fort Smith, Arkansas, but the life he lived between the bookends of birth and death was exceptional. Today, his legacy remains strong and the many books, movies, streets, monuments and bases named in his honor show the mark he made in his 34 years.
The 1933 West Point graduate is best known for forming the 1st Ranger Battalion during WWII. Nicknamed "Darby's Rangers," the members of the elite commando unit trained in Scotland in early 1942 before taking part in the North Africa invasion later that year. He would receive the Distinguished Service Cross, the Army's second-highest award, for his actions at Arzew, Algeria.
Army Brigadier General William O. Darby | Photo credit National Archives
"Lt. Col. Darby struck with his force with complete surprise at dawn in the rear of a strongly fortified enemy position," his citation read. "Always conspicuously at the head of his troops, he personally led assaults against the enemy line in the face of heavy machine gun and artillery fire."
After fighting their way through Algeria and Tunisia, then-Lieutenant Colonel Darby looked to expand the Rangers into three battalions in July 1943. The soldiers of the first, third and fourth battalions spearheaded the invasion of Sicily.
Always on the offensive, the band of soldiers recruited for their physical skills and relentless determination often took big risks in battle. Some paid off. Others did not.
Darby's Rangers landed unopposed at Anzio, Italy, in January 1944, but a week later the narrative changed. The first and third battalions suffered heavy losses at Ciserna and were consolidated into another unit. The fourth also suffered casualties but kept fighting as a Ranger force.
An oak leaf cluster—denoted as a second award—was added to Darby's Distinguished Service Cross and he received a Silver Star for his leadership and courage during the Italian Campaign.
With a chest full of medals, the newly minted colonel was sent back to the States in April 1944 and served at the Pentagon for 11 months. Longing to get back in the fight, he returned to Europe in early 1945. When the 10th Mountain Division's assistant commander was wounded in Italy, Darby stepped in. While planning for a mission on April 30, 1945, shrapnel from a German shell mortally wounded him. Germany surrendered two days later.
A stroke of misfortune took the life of one of the Army's most revered and decorated leaders a mere 48 hours before the war in Europe ended. Darby was posthumously promoted to brigadier general weeks after later.
General Mark Clark said Darby "died exactly the way he would have had it—out in front of his men in hot pursuit of the enemy."
While he died on the battlefield more than 70 years ago, his story lives on in many forms.
In 1958, a then-relatively unknown actor named James Garner played the lead role in Darby's Rangers, a biopic that brought Darby's wartime accomplishments to the silver screen. His memoirs were turned into a well-received book and his hometown of Fort Smith named schools in his honor.
But his most celebrated achievement—laying the groundwork for the modern Army Rangers—is what helps keep his story relevant. Even today, no soldier can earn a Ranger Tab without passing the Darby Phase of training first. In addition, one distinguished graduate of each Ranger School class, if they stand out among their elite peers, receive an award named for Darby.
It's a fitting tribute to a man who spent his life leading the way.
You can help our heroes with the little things that will mean so much this year like a phone call home, comfort foods or a place to relax.

In 1989, I attended the Somerset School of Massage Therapy at night while working full time at AT&T for over 20 years. I founded Under The Palms, in March of 1990. Since then I have pursued taking various classes from sports massage, Rolfing® Certification in January 1996 in Boulder, Co at the Rolf Institute. My current passion is Biodynamic Cranio Sacral Therapy which has taught me so much about STILLNESS! The phrase BE STILL & KNOW is underrated. So much happens when we are in STILLNESS!
If you truly desire to have quality in your body, mind and spirit, please feel free to contact me at 908-874-0596.
An Example of Rolfing Results!
I just wanted to thank you for the rib release! The right side is a bit tender but those ribs are sitting in a position they haven't seen since 1990. The left side has muscles coming in line that have been asleep for 23 years!
Joey is one of a kind. Not only is she highly professional and VERY talented in what she does, she is a beautiful person with a very big heart. I have been a client of Joey's for over 15 years ~ rolfing, biodynamic cranio sacral, reiki and I have NEVER been disappointed. She gives every person her best in every session and many people come a distance to be worked on by those wonderful hands.
Joey plays an important role in the integration of body, mind and spirit so necessary for the healing process. With her sensitivity, big HEART and gentle touch, she skilfully reminds the body/mind what it's like to feel relaxed and pain-free. Joey is the best friend a body could have! Her healing ways are so unique and powerful. The healing energy that she shares with me is beyond words. I am blessed to have her in my life.
While suffering from a herniated disc, my chiropractor suggested I visit Joey George of Under the Palms. From Joey's attentive and structured massage and Rolfing® sessions my herniated disc no longer impedes my life. I look forward to my monthly tune-up appointments and can think of no better gift you can give yourself than to have her help you feel better! A.G.
From the moment I entered Joey's healing space, I felt a warm, inviting and relaxing energy. The room just reflected the warmth, joy and love that Joey exudes when working with you doing what she loves to do. Her massage and mini-Rolfing technique released long-held tension and pain in my body. The session was great, as she continued to work to ensure my comfort and healing. I went home and slept like a baby. Joey rocks! Her massages and hands-on healing work are heartfelt. ~ M.Z.
I have been going to Joey G. for approximately 6 months for Rolfing sessions. I have had sciatica pain in my right leg for some time and now the pain has substantially diminished. I was physically and mentally exhausted -- due to the deaths of my daughter and husband within 1 year's time. I went through the 10 week period of Rolfing and now I go every 2 weeks. At this time I feel energized - physically, mentally and spiritually - and this is due to the Rolfing sessions. This therapeutic massage has helped me immensely and Joey is a knowledgeable and wonderful therapist. I heartily recommend this treatment. ~ Mary C., 77 years of age.
From the first moment we met, I was drawn to her joyfully balanced spirit and energy. I had heard wonderful things about her massage and Rolfing skills and certainly confirmed the accolades once I had scheduled a session with her.
Joey G. is truly one of the most dedicated practitioners and healers I have had the honor and privilege to know and access for holistic support. Aside from being a gifted practitioner, she has always sought to acquire new information and skills to incorporate into her healing practice. Joey lives and works with consciousness, integrity and a pure heart and intention of helping others to live in health and balance. I am blessed to have her as my friend, and we are all fortunate to have her as an integral part of the Holistic community.
There I was, on her table, after some two years desperately looking for the right massage therapist, thanking God for long overdue relief from pain and stiffness in my whole body, while begging for "deeper" touch. Joey "untied" my tight muscle ropes with an hour and a half Rolfing session. And ever since then, not only has Joey helped me, but I bring both of my teenagers to her, one of whom is in a competitive sport. After each session, I leave her office at least 10 pounds lighter and fully breathing. ~ Inna B.
Working with Joey G. through a complete Rolfing series has been an amazing experience! When you have been worked on by Joey you know it and you feel it! I, personally, saw dramatic results throughout the Rolfing series leaving me more present within my body and restoring me to a more proper alignment.
Joey's joyful presence and bright personality creates an environment of comfort and ease from the moment you walk in the door. Her knowledge, passion and commitment to your healing are evident from the beginning through her willingness to experiment and customize sessions to your particular needs. As a true holistic practitioner, she creates an environment of safety and support, which facilitates healing on all levels: mind, body and spirit.
Joey G.'s genuine care for her clients and sincere intention to bring them to optimum health and well-being shine through in her work and in all that she brings to her sessions.
I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me ~ without Rolfing, I would not be able to continue playing bass comfortably and do what I love. For that, I am so thankful. I will certainly be keeping in touch and calling you when I'm in need.
Again, thank you so much for being an excellent Rolfer. With love and appreciation, Kelly K.

TV Trends Web Review: TV must embrace change, or die
Our latest digest of the past weeks' hottest news stories, as curated via our scoop.it web magazines.
By James Martin on September 14, 2012 0 Comments

Yes, it's a radical message. But it's rarely been as clearly expressed than by Dana Brunetti – notably producer of David Fincher's "House of Cards" series for Netflix – on a TV-focused panel at TechCrunch's Disrupt conference, that also included HBO's Allison Moore. Brunetti gained "vociferous" approval from the audience when he aired the common complaint that HBO Go, the cable channel's online offering, should be available to non-cable subscribers. Hence his prediction that web video – such as Machinima, also present onstage – will "destroy networks and conglomerates as we know it." Moore's reply? "It's a little presumptuous to say $8 will make the business whole."
Brunetti's claim was backed up by Maitreyi Krishnaswamy, who is responsible for Verizon's FIOS TV service. He admitted that cord-cutting – i.e. US consumers stopping cable subscriptions in favour of web-based offerings like Netflix – is a real and growing phenomenon. A rare confession from an operator; but crucially important, as "it impacts how we negotiate TV contracts with studios," said Krishnaswamy. "It's not something we can do overnight, but definitely something we've been looking at."
Not all operators are as open-minded, however, according to another GigaOm piece, which tackled the question "who's killing TV innovation?" thus:
Facing the threat of a disruption to their ad revenue, broadcasters and cable TV networks have in recent years massively grown their B2B relationship with cable and satellite operators. Broadcast channels and their local affiliates increasingly ask pay TV operators to pay up for content that was previously available for next to nothing. Operators unwilling to pay up face blackouts, and routinely cave in after their customers rebel.
The need for change was also underlined by megapopstar Will.i.am, who told the TV-tech conference IBC that "if I was a broadcaster I would surround myself with code writers." This assertion strongly evoked developer Syd Lawrence's claim at MIPCube's last TV Hack Day, that "TV data is shit," or in other words, that the industry is not connected enough. For the Black Eyed Peas frontman, the TV business is still too obsessed with making money first and foremost. "What I like about startups is that it is a tool first to be adopted – the monetisation comes later," he said.
TV, however, continues to innovate, notably through social media: as this super-useful AdWeek piece, on the 10 best uses of social in TV, showed. Creating content specifically for Twitter, for example, definitely pays off for Nickelodeon: when SpongeBob Squarepants tweets "I'd love to be a rock star, but I just don't have the pants for it", over half a million followers rejoice…
Networks who engage this actively will reap rewards, promised a Horowitz Associates study picked out by LostRemote: "nearly one-quarter (24%) of 18-34 year old viewers and 30% of 15-17 year olds have started watching a show on TV 'because of something they saw online or through social media,' compared with 16% of all adults surveyed," wrote the social TV blog.
The rewards can also be invaluable in marketing terms, as Maz Nadjm, former head of social for Sky TV and now social TV consultant, pointed out about the torrent of tweets and Facebook messages on this summer's Olympics coverage: "The consumer data that can be collected as a result of this, as well as the marketing potential it offers and the opportunities to spread brand awareness, are massive and can be very efficiently turned into profitable endeavours," said Nadjm.
All the more so if, as Google's recent study points out, 90% of our media consumption now happens across four screens, namely the TV, smartphones, tablets and our computers.
Speaking of multi-screen, it was confirmed recently that director Joss Whedon is taking his blockbuster film The Avengers to the small screen, as Deadline Hollywood reported that ABC has greenlighted S.H.I.E.LD, a new live-action series set in the comic books' universe. As also revealed here on MIPBlog by our own Simon Staffans!
Last but by no means least, anyone still refusing the "change or die" message should take a look at just how easy it is to pirate the live TV streams of channels like HBO and more… word to the wise!

Our purpose is to provide mammography exams for early detection of breast cancer and to give peace of mind regarding a woman's current health status.
The problem is that 80% of the women that should have an annual mammography exam don't because they are unable to find a mammography facility that is conveniently located for easy use or it takes too much time to arrange appointments, travel and request time off work (approx. 2 hours), etc.
Our answer to that problem is that We Come To You!
Our professional staff and latest technology focuses on the patients personal comfort safety and privacy.
Our fees, which include mammography exam and radiology reports, are lower than the average fee charge by fixed site mammography providers.
We provide the Radiologist with the highest quality mammography images for interpretation and report generation.
90% of our patients tell us they would not have completed their annual breast cancer screening if MOM had not been sponsored by their employer or other sponsors.


The five piece band return with their studio album O Shudder. The band epitomises the well-trodden route of college band hopefuls made good. They have, over the last six years, grown and now have built a solid fan base. As if to prove that their career wasn't going well enough, they even have a burger named after them at one of Manchester's finest eateries.
These foundations have seen them support Paramore, and the band have just been announced to perform at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
In describing their sound it's too simplistic to say that they continue in the great tradition of British indie pop art school bands. The band packs a few surprises and they are far from a conventional sounding band. Frontman Duncan Wallis leads the aesthetically pleasing, well groomed band. Just before the band's appearance hits your eyes, its Wallis' vocals that hit your ears. His dulcet tones can be described as sounded androgynous with a hefty dose of Wild Beasts with a hint of a wailing Kate Bush. The track 'Given Thing' in particular displays his full range as a vocalist, as he launches into high pitched melodramatic verse.
It's not just the vocals that set Dutch Uncles apart from other bands. Not content with attempting an almost unique style of presentation. It is the band's subject matter that is as distinctive as Wallis' vocals. The lead single from the album is entitled 'Decided Knowledge', and the band have explained that the subject matter came from an unsuccessful job interview. Not only did this amuse the band, it also made them realise that an office job was simply not for them. So the local council's loss is our gain. They possess the ability to comment on modern day themes as well as their own growing pains, therefore their subject matter relates to the adaption of the disappearance of youth. The band has all but settled into the dreaded twenty-somethings, and they deliver a narrative of it with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility.
Their off-key subject matter and relaxed delivery allows the album to wash over the ears. It is clear that they feel comfortable in their own progress over the past six years as their sound is now perfectly refined.
O Shudder is available from amazon & iTunes.

Domestic health insurance provides only limited coverage outside of the U.S.
My son is in his late twenties and plans to teach in China. What should he do about health insurance? --G.M., Sacramento, Calif.
Domestic health insurance provides only limited coverage outside of the U.S. The American Embassy in Beijing says that many Chinese schools provide health insurance to foreign teachers. Your son's teaching program may offer a supplemental health insurance policy through an insurance broker such as iNext, which offers six levels of coverage. And some U.S. insurers offer international health policies for Americans living overseas. For example, Cigna offers international policies, as well as a policy specifically for Americans living in China, which covers a network of Chinese doctors and hospitals.
Policies that Chinese schools provide to foreign teachers can cover up to 80% of medical expenses. Chinese hospitals often demand cash for the remaining costs before providing service. The Chinese medical system in rural areas often does not meet U.S. standards, so the U.S. Embassy encourages Americans to buy international health insurance, which covers medical care and medical evacuation.

Evaluating the Sixers' bench heading into the 2019-20 regular season
Cameron Fields
One of the Philadelphia 76ers' glaring weaknesses last season was their lack of a consistent, productive bench, especially in the playoffs.
Mike Scott, James Ennis III and Boban Marjanovic were the most reliable players on the Sixers' bench. Marjanovic signed with the Dallas Mavericks in free agency this summer, but Scott and Ennis are returning.
In the past two seasons, Philly has lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Lacking sufficient depth has been a reason the Sixers haven't moved forward in the postseason. But with players such as Trey Burke, Kyle O'Quinn and Raul Neto joining Philly this summer, the Sixers have depth that can make them stronger next season.
Scott joined the Sixers at the trade deadline last season, coming with Tobias Harris and Marjanovic from the Los Angeles Clippers.
Near the middle of July, Scott signed a two-year deal to return to Philly. A stretch four who can defend, Scott is going to be one of the Sixers' most important players off the bench next season.
When he came to Philly in February, he helped provide spacing because of his shooting ability. He shot 41.2% from the three-point line in the regular season and 35.3% in the playoffs. Scott's ability to defend multiple areas on the floor was evident as well, as the Sixers had a defensive rating of 107.9 in the regular season when he was on the floor, per NBA.com.
Ennis also joined the Sixers at the trade deadline last season, coming to Philly from the Houston Rockets. The Sixers gave Houston rights to their 2021 second round draft pick in the exchange. In the middle of July, Ennis signed a deal to return to the Sixers.
The Sixers lacked ample shot creation off the bench, but Ennis was one of the few players who could get buckets. Ennis played 11 games in the playoffs with the Sixers and averaged 7.5 points per game, the most of any reserve for Philly.
Though the Sixers have more shot creation off the bench for next season, Ennis will still likely play an important role. Buckets are always necessary, especially in the playoffs where they're harder to come by.
A rookie last season, Bolden showed potential to be a solid stretch big who can make threes, defend and grab rebounds.
Bolden played 44 games for the Sixers in the regular season, starting in 10. He shot 35.4% from the three-point line while averaging 2.2 three-point attempts a game. Along with his solid shooting, Bolden also grabbed 3.8 rebounds in 14.5 minutes a game.
Next season, Bolden will presumably be Al Horford's backup, with Kyle O'Quinn likely backing up Joel Embiid at center.
Bolden and O'Quinn could be interchangeable when it comes to playing power forward and center off the bench, but Bolden being an effective backup could be a key difference for the Sixers, especially considering Embiid is such a significant part of the team's success.
Kyle O'Quinn
During his seven-year NBA career, O'Quinn has consistently been a solid rebounder and defender off the bench.
O'Quinn has played for the Orlando Magic, New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers during his career. In three seasons with the Knicks, he averaged 5.2 rebounds a game. During the 2017-18 season, O'Quinn's last season with the Knicks, New York had a 106.8 defensive rating when O'Quinn was on the floor; when he was off the Knicks had a defensive rating of 109.3.
The Sixers need more defense from their bigs, particularly because Embiid carries such a huge load for the team on that end of the floor. But with the signings of O'Quinn and Horford in free agency, the Sixers' defense should improve.
While the Sixers had an average bench last season, one of the unit's most glaring weak spots was backup point guard.
When Ben Simmons was off the floor, the Sixers used Jimmy Butler as the backup point guard, but they didn't have a true guard who could primarily focus on running the offense. With the signing of Burke, though, the Sixers have moved toward strengthening their backup point guard spot.
During his six-year career, Burke has shown he can score and facilitate off the bench. Last season Burke played with the Knicks and Mavericks. He was traded to Dallas in the Kristaps Porzingis trade, playing in 25 games for the Mavericks.
Burke has averaged 10.9 points a game and 3.6 assists during his career. The backup point guard spot is crowded now, as Raul Neto and Shake Milton will also compete for time at the position. But with Burke's scoring ability, he will likely earn a solid chunk of minutes.
The Sixers signed Neto in free agency during the middle of July, bolstering their backup point guard depth.
Neto played with the Utah Jazz his first four seasons in the league. He doesn't have the scoring ability of Burke, but he is a slightly better shooter. Neto has shot a career 37.7% from the three-point line compared to Burke's 34.0%.
With Neto joining the team, the Sixers have more potential for better spacing, something they desperately needed even in the starting lineup. Neto might not be the first point guard off the bench, but he could receive minutes as a floor spacer in the backcourt.
Milton played in 20 games last season with the Sixers, spending most of his time with the Delaware Blue Coats, Philly's G League affiliate.
But this summer, Milton, who was on a two-way contract last season, earned a four-year contract with the Sixers. A guard who is savvy at driving to the hoop, Milton will be in the mix off the bench along with Burke and Neto.
Standing at 6-foot-6, Milton is similar to Ennis in his scoring ability. He averaged 24.9 points a game in 27 games with the Blue Coats last season. But while Milton scores like a shooting guard, he handles the ball like a point guard. With combo guard abilities, Milton could align with Neto well in a potential backcourt off the bench.
Milton could create space with his ability to score and take defenders one-on- one, and Neto would only have to drift into an open space for a potential kick out from Milton.
Korkmaz played in 48 games last season with the Sixers, as he suffered a torn meniscus during February.
The Sixers brought back Korkmaz this summer, but with the guard depth this team has now, he will have to compete hard for minutes. Korkmaz will likely play behind Ennis, and he'll have to show why he deserves minutes.
Last season Korkmaz averaged 5.8 points a game on 40.0% shooting in 14.1 minutes per game. He acknowledged during his exit interview at the end of last season that the 2019-20 season would be an important one for him. As the Sixers look to elevate their play next season, Korkmaz will have to do the same.
Zhaire Smith
Smith flashed his athleticism during summer league in July, showing the Sixers why they should be excited about his development.
Zhaire Smith, a first-rounder last year, put on an emphatic show in today's #NBASummerLeague with some big dunks. He spent 6 weeks in the hospital after a bad allergic reaction that derailed his rookie season, but he'll provide depth for the Sixers soon. pic.twitter.com/fmPKKhQZDp
— National Ballers Association (@NationalBaller1) July 5, 2019
Smith was sidelined for most of his rookie year last season. He suffered a fractured left foot in August 2018, and he had an allergic reaction to a food product near the beginning of the season as well.
He played in six games during the regular season, but for the upcoming season, Smith has a chance to be one of the Sixers' most valuable players off the bench.
A quality defender, Smith uses his quickness to contain players on the perimeter. The Sixers needed better perimeter defense last season, as they struggled to defend guards who could score off the dribble. With Smith in the picture, the Sixers will likely not fall off on defense when the starters are resting.
The Sixers drafted Thybulle with the No. 20 overall pick in this year's NBA draft, strengthening their perimeter defense.
Thybulle, a swingman out of Washington, ranks No. 16 all time in Division I career steals, per Basketball Reference. He's also the Pac-12's all-time leader in the category.
With the Sixers needing more perimeter defense, Thybulle could play a role similar to Smith's. Along with his defensive capabilities, Thybulle can also make threes at a solid clip; he shot 35.8% from the three-point line in his four-year career with the Huskies.
Christ Koumadje
The Sixers signed Koumadje to an Exhibit 10 contract in July, and with the contract, Philly can convert Koumadje's deal to a two-way contract.
A rookie out of Florida State, Koumadje stands 7-foot-4. He'll be behind Bolden and O'Quinn, so he probably won't get minutes. During summer league, though, Koumadje displayed potential to be a solid rim protector. He averaged 2.4 blocks in summer league, along with 6.0 points and 5.8 rebounds a game.
Koumadje probably won't play much with the Sixers next season, but developing him in the G League would help him get more experience.
Sixers release official preseason schedule as 2019-20 grows nearer

Josep Plandiura
COR-TEN steel
Gest (detail)
1943, Taradell (Barcelona), Spain
Josep Plandiura is a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist who has had an extensive career spanning over 50 years. His research projects have always encompassed public sculpture and wide format design.
Since his career began in the mid-60s, Plandiura has taken part in over 30 solo and collective exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the world. He managed the work of 40 national and international artists at the Triangle de Barcelona under the direction of English sculptor Anthony Caro and was chosen as a guest artist at the Triangle Artist's Workshop in Pine Plains (New York) where he collaborated with well-known architects and sculptors from the USA.
He went on to create the group Formes d' Avui (Forms of Today) which enabled him to familiarize himself with the design and construction of small and medium sized iron sculptures. Over time, his work has developed into much larger scale pieces, measuring up to 4 meters high, and he is now considered a leading expert on COR-TEN steel, with regard to handling as well as to the aesthetic finish.
Throughout his career he has also worked for prestigious architects such as Frank Gehry (USA), Paul Lubowicki (USA), Josep M. Botey (Spain) and Jaume Miret (Spain); and combined his creation of sculptures with technical support for other sculptors, architects and designers, taking his pieces beyond the walls of a gallery and into public spaces.
His work is in public and private collections all over the world and he has most recently undertaken several projects in historical and religious buildings in Barcelona.
In addition to making his own work, he founded and managed the Centre d'Art Internacional Contemporani in Sant Pere de Vilamajor (Barcelona), an artistic experimentation residential centre. From the late 80s to 2000, the centre welcomed over 400 artists from all disciplines and nationalities and helped to foster the careers of many emerging artists.
Josep Plandiura lives in Barcelona (Spain), where he continues to collaborate with other artists and designers and push the boundaries of his sculptural work. He is currently working on research projects involving glass and wood with titanium.

Government-Sponsored Voluntary Regulation
Recommendations made by Dr Chris Decker and Professor Christopher Hodges about legislation surrounding Government-Sponsored Voluntary Regulation (GSVR) have been adopted by the government, as announced in the Autumn Statement on the 3rd December 2014.
Government-Sponsored Voluntary Regulation (GSVR) has grown significantly in recent years and seems to have had an important economic impact on businesses. GSVR is often referred to as 'pledges' made between businesses and the government. Examples include reducing fat content or salt levels in food and reducing the use of plastic bags. Other policy areas where GSVR has been introduced include in relation to: the environment and sustainability; public health; employment and skills; pricing, trading policy and social policy. Some businesses' reputations may be affected by media comments about their compliance or non-compliance with GSVR even though GSVR pledges are non-legal rules.
In 2014 Dr Chris Decker and Professor Christopher Hodges were contracted by the British Retail Consortium to carry out a study on GSVR given their research expertise in this area.
In their report, Dr Decker and Professor Hodges recommended that the process for introducing GSVR should be evaluated in the same way as formal legislative regulation. This might include formal measures such as Impact Assessment, and the consideration of any proposals by the Regulatory Policy Committee (the RPC). Decker and Hodges discussed this issue with the Better Regulation Executive and were asked to present their report to the Regulatory Policy Committee. Dr Decker also recently presented their findings at the London School of Economics. They are currently in the process of writing an article on the topic.
On the 3rd of December 2014, the Chancellor delivered his Autumn Statement which announced that GSVR will now be subject to the regulatory impact process. Dr Decker and Professor Hodge's key recommendation to evaluate Government-Sponsored Voluntary Regulation in the same way as other types of regulation has basically been adopted by the government with considerable speed. This has a significant potential impact both on businesses and the economy.

Pokud jsou data použita v automobilových navigačních zařízeních, dávají řidiči včas informace o dopravní situaci a umožňují tak dynamicky měnit zvolenou cestu dle aktuální situace.

Jak to funguje
Dopravní událost je zakódována a poslána jako TMC zpráva. Každá taková zpráva obsahuje identifikační kód, přesnou lokaci události a také očekávanou dobu trvání a typ události, zasažené směry a další informace.

Zprávy jsou kódovány Alert C standardem. Tento standard obsahuje seznam 2048 předdefinovaných frází, které mohou být přijímačem přeloženy do různých jazyků. Některé z frází popisují konkrétní událost jako například nehodu, zatímco jiné jsou kombinací frází např. nehoda způsobující dlouhé kolony.

V Evropě jsou národní lokalizační tabulky spravovány na celostátní úrovni. Tyto lokalizační tabulky jsou integrovány do map v navigačních přístrojích a definují přesnou polohu události v mapě. Kvalita pokrytí lokalizačními tabulkami se v různých zemích liší. V České republice se tvorbou lokalizačních tabulek zabývá společnost Central European Data Agency, a.s.

Zdrojem dopravních informaci je většinou policie, centra řízení dopravy, kamerové systémy, automatické detektory dopravního proudu a další.

TMC v České republice

Největším poskytovatelem v České republice je Národní dopravní informační centrum (NDIC) a jeho Jednotný systém dopravních informací pro ČR (JSDI).

NDIC shromažďuje informace od všech složek Integrovaného záchranného systému (IZS), od Ředitelství silnic a dálnic, dopravních zpravodajů a dalších zdrojů.
Dopravní informace jsou taktéž získávány z automatických dopravních telematických systémů.

TMC je v ČR provozováno na vlnách stanice Českého rozhlasu Vltava.

Kromě NDIC šířily v ČR signál TMC do roku 2017 ještě DIC Praha na frekvenci Českého rozhlasu – Regina (92.6 MHz) a společnost TELEASIST ve spolupráci s Global Assistance na frekvenci Českého rozhlasu 1 – Radiožurnál (92.6 MHz).

Landlink used to be in Mahara Place, but moved to an office at the east end of Ngaio Road. This storage container beside the bus stop was given 'beauty treatment' to make its presence if not appealing, at least acceptable. Having fluted steel sides makes it slightly more difficult for the artist.
There's a different mural on the other side, a pic of that to come.

Mordu's Legion and Imperium: Tensions Are Mounting.
This week we saw another sortie of Mordu's Legion forces into Empire space. Just a few nights ago a well-armed expeditionary force ,commanded by Lt. Amlerik Raun, had entered the system of Shenda and proceeded to systematically lock down all the exits and stargates of the system. The aim of the enterprise, according to the second in command, Lt. Kikui Viraki, was to 'contain forces of Imperium Alliance and engage them with extreme prejudice.' Apparently, Mordu's spies have kept a constant eye on Imperium pilots and this was the best time to contain few High-ranking Imperium officials in one system. The strife between Mordu's Legion and Imperium began, as our readers will recall, after NORAD and Imperium vessels have attacked Mordu's convoys in 4C-B7X as well as the previous assaults on Legion's interests in Outer Ring systems.
As the fleet entered Shenda, Lt. Raun announced: 'Mordu's Legion is here for the pilots from the Imperium Alliance. We have not forgotten your actions in the past and you will be shot down on sight.' At this point Legion's forces proceeded to systematically 'lock-down' the solar system, the pilots from VOTF, including their CEO Mr. XirtamVotf, were effectively camped-in within the stations. The tension rose significantly after some previously neutral pod-pilots called to Imperium, VOTF and Mr. XirtamVotf to come out and engage the Mordu's.
One of the pilots, Mme. Sabatour of Blood Inquisition, went as far as to actively engage the Legion and demanded that Imperium came to her aid. As Mordu's Legion forces tried to track down Sabatour's lone Rifter frigate most of Imperium contingent chose to remain within the confines of the station and avoided an active conflict. After about forty minutes to an hour of dynamic scanning Lt. Raun relinquished the hostile intent toward Mme. Sabatour and commanded his forces to withdraw.
After Mordu's Legion forces withdrew from the system, and traffic was allowed to resume, I had the opportunity to talk to Mr. XirtamVotf and had the benefit of his opinions on the situation. According to him, the tactical decision not to engage was due to the fact that VOTF was engaged in a peaceful mining operation and was not prepared for a sneak attack by Mordu's fleet. He went further to repudiate the pod-pilots, who claimed that Imperium has 'lost its nerve', by saying that they did not have all relevant tactical and strategic information to lay such claims in the first place, and that since VOTF and Imperium were outnumbered they chose not to actively engage the enemy.
When I asked if Imperium will ever make a public apology which Mordu's Legion demands, Mr. XirtamVotf's answer was simple and unequivocal: 'No, they wont get one.' He went further to state that 'IMP doesn't give in to demands of anyone.' I also asked if he believes that in the future VOTF and Imperium will be able to engage the Legion on their own terms, so to speak, provided that they don't sneak up on the mining-ops. Mr. Mr. XirtamVotf responded by declaring: 'We will take it as it comes, if we have the numbers we will engage, if we do not have the number then we wont.'
The relations between Mordu's Legion and Imperium alliance are strained to a breaking point at this time. We all know that Mordus are not easily appeased and do not give up their claims in a hurry. One can only hope that some sort of diplomatic solution can be achieved between the two parties. The Legion has shown its resolve to disregard any and all obstacles in order to achieve their goals. It would seem that they would continue to hunt and hurt Imperium whenever and wherever they can. It also means that Empire Space is no longer 'safe'; Mordu's Legion, with their intrusion into .5 system, have exposed the gross inadequacy of Empire defences. Mordu's High Council has refused to respond to any of this reporter's request for comment. The destruction of property and the loss of life are going to be terrific, should both parties choose military means over the peaceful solutions available to them


Whether you're going for the overdraft-inspiring prix-fixe dinner or getting low-key tipsy at your favorite watering hole, you want to look your best on Valentine's Day, right? Right. But V Day is not the time for preppy outfits that remind your loved ones of office life or boring adult things like paying taxes. And it's definitely not the time for athletic clothes that give off a vibe that you just don't care (on Valentine's Day you care about everything—even if you don't). The solution, that doesn't include a lot of overthinking, is to zero in on badass staples in basic black and gray—whether it's a nice suit or a pair of slim jeans—that conjure images of guys like James Dean and Marlon Brando. Clichéd? Maybe. But isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about?
Skip the tie and keep your hair extra unkempt like Lucky Blue here and you'll definitely break some hearts.
That Comme Des Garçons T-shirt hanging in your closet is begging to be worn out tonight. Literal is okay on Valentine's Day.
Casually remind your date that you are the real-life version of Clark Kent and the night will end well for you.
Valentine's Day brings out the goofy kid in all of us—embrace that fact with an old-school varsity jacket.
Gently allude to your ability to be responsible and badass at the same time with a button-down shirt in a dark, brooding pattern.
Nod to Hugh Hefner without going full-on silk-robe with a pair of patent slippers or, if you're dressed casually, leather loafers.
If you're not going anywhere special put on your best, most broken-in pair of black jeans. Every guy looks good in them.

Nintendo denied "Bob's Game" because it was not "compelling"
By Stephany Nunneley, Sunday, 5 April 2009 20:35 GMT
NoA's Reggie Fils-Aime told MTV this week that despite assumptions to the contrary, Nintendo encourages indie-developers to submit ideas to it's licensing organization.
What caused Nintendo to look like a snob, you ask?
Two months ago, Robert Pelloni submitted a 2D RPG game that he'd been developing over the past five years to Nintendo, seeking license to publish it on DS.
"Bob's Game" as it's known, was denied a DS development kit by the gaming giant, which has caused Pelloni to go on a verbal rampage on blogs, saying Nintendo was hard to work with.
Nintendo just didn't think his game was all that hot. No offense, Bob.
"He did submit to be a licensed developer. We have an evaluation process. We evaluated the opportunity. We decided at this point in time that he did not meet the requirements to be a licensed developer," said Reggie.
Reggie does not want Pelloni's story to discourage anyone though.
"My hope is that any developer who has a compelling idea will reach out to our licensing organization and share their idea and go through the process of becoming a licensed developer for the Nintendo platform," he said.
"We have a legacy of supporting that type of development."

An Abu Dhabi student who won a prestigious international scholarship will go on to research potential solutions for the drug epidemic in the United States.
Hannah Taylor was one of two NYUAD students to be awarded the Fulbright Scholarship ahead of her graduation this month.
She will be moving to Lisbon later this year to study the social, cultural and political factors that contributed to the success of Portugal's 2001 drug policy shift. Seventeen years ago, the country decriminalised low-level possession of all drugs making Portugal's drug-related deaths the second-lowest in the European Union.
"The drug policy came at a time when Portugal was suffering from high overdose death rates, crime rates and HIV cases," said Ms Taylor, who is from Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Ms Taylor, 21, will be mentored by faculty at Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Instituto Universitário de Lisboa.
She was one of four seniors from NYUAD to win the Fulbright Programme scholarship and Rhodes Scholarship, bringing the university's total number of grant-winners up to 20.
Emirati Maitha Al Memari, who majored in social research and public policy, was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship that allows students to pursue two to three years of postgraduate study at Oxford University.
She intends to research ways to advance educational guidance in the UAE.
"After my master's, I plan to get employed in the field of education and social research," said Ms Al Memari, who is 21.
Her interest in streamlining educational guidance stems from her own experiences in the country.
Her research will be an extension of her capstone project that investigated factors influencing young Emiratis' academic decisions.
"My transition from university to my master's was easier than my transition to college because of the environment that I am in," said Ms Al Memari.
In the past five years, NYUAD has produced 20 UAE Rhodes Scholars and Fulbright recipients, two of the most prestigious international awards.
NYU Abu Dhabi currently holds the highest acceptance rate of Rhodes Scholars per student of any university in the world.
And in the UAE, 13 graduates have received the Fulbright grant since 2006, 10 of whom are NYU Abu Dhabi students.
Both Ms Taylor and Ms Al Memari said leadership and a passion for community service are important qualities in students applying for global grants.
Being a part of the student government and volunteering in the community's outreach programmes helped Ms Al Memari earn her grant and inspired her to delve deeper into her field of interest.
In 2015, Ms Al Memari spoke at TEDxNYUAD where she addressed stereotypes about Emiratis and specifically misconceptions about the abaya.
As a member of the RoadWatch team, she won the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Best m-Government Service Award, UAE University category, at the World Government Summit in 2016.
She also teaches high school pupils the power of female leadership as part of her volunteer work for the Girls' Education Network.
Ms Taylor said the process has taught her to be able to see past her self-doubt.
