New Jersey offers a valuable combination of features for the prospective business student: proximity to one of the most important business and financial centers of the world (New York City) and a number of worthwhile options for obtaining a business degree.
As a relatively small state, there are not a lot of public and non-profit business schools in New Jersey: 28 according to National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) statistics.1 However, the state does feature one of the highest percentages of business schools with business accreditation: 22 of 28 for undergraduate study and 17 of 28 for graduate-level work. Accreditation is important because it provides assurance that the program you start has clear objectives and that the school has proven that it produces quality outcomes while adhering to national and international standards. Accredited business schools are also known to offer ways to get real-world experience through interaction with actual businesses.
All of the schools in this article have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), and/or International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). They are all public or non-profit and regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).
In this article you will find essential data to help you choose the New Jersey business school that best suits your unique needs based on a variety of key factors: tuition, financial aid, entrance exam scores, acceptance rates, and more. The three sections that follow describe undergraduate programs, graduate schools, and the job prospects for business school graduates in New Jersey.
Best business schools in New Jersey according to US News data.
While a smaller state, New Jersey is still part of a major population center, and for this reason most of its colleges are more expensive than ones you would find in a less populous region. The average tuition for undergraduate degrees is $23,600, while average maximum financial aid offered is $13,900. The most expensive school is the highly-regarded (top 100 in the US) Stevens Institute of Technology, with tuition of around $48,800 and financial aid offered just below half this figure. The two most affordable schools are Essex County College ($8,000 tuition and $4,900 financial aid) and County College of Morris ($8,400 tuition and $4,200 financial aid). The schools for this state show an interesting bimodal distribution: nearly all are either below $17,000 (12 of 22) or over $31,000 (10 of 22).
We were able to obtain acceptance rate data for 20 of our 22 schools. New Jersey undergraduate business schools tend to have very high acceptance rates; the overall average of the 22 was 69.5%, and 12 of the 20 are at 70% or higher. The highest acceptance rate was 88% at Centenary University, while the lowest was 39% at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
Graduation rates for undergraduate business degrees in New Jersey are mostly moderate, but with a wide range: as high as 87% at the College of New Jersey, but as low as 31% at New Jersey City University. Fourteen of the 20 schools for which we have data graduated 51% to 73% of their students, and the overall average for all schools was 60.6%. Stockton University and Monmouth University tied exactly for first place when looking at the best combination of acceptance rate and graduate rate, as both have a 77% acceptance rate and 70% graduation rate.
The table that follows shows you all the important data you need about undergraduate business schools in New Jersey, including annual in-state tuition costs, average aid per student, acceptance rates, SAT and ACT score ranges of accepted students, and graduation rates. You can click any column header to sort the table based on its contents.
We have data on 17 accredited schools for graduate business study in New Jersey. Tuition for MBAs in New Jersey tends to be on the moderate side, with the overall average tuition of around $41,000. Unlike in some other states, there are no programs in the six figures here to distort the average, and 10 of the 17 are roughly in the $30,000 to $50,000 range. The most expensive school, at about $73,000, can be found at the Stevens Institute of Technology, while the least expensive, William Paterson University, comes in at just above $24,000.
We have average admission GMAT scores for 10 of the 17 schools, which fall in a fairly narrow range of 454 (Stockton University) to 606 (Rutgers-State University of New Jersey-Newark). We have data on the percentage of full-time faculty with doctorate degrees for 13 schools, all of which are over 75%. Of these, nine are over 85% and six over 95%, figures that are higher than those found in most states.
If you want to keep growing in your career while enhancing your education, you may want to consider one of the online MBA programs in New Jersey. The New Jersey Institute of Technology offers a program specifically designed so that it is considered equal to its in-person MBA, with specializations in Marketing, Finance, and Management Information Systems. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-Camden offers a highly regarded 100% online MBA program. Rowan University, ranked #3 among public schools in the north by US News & World Report, offers an online MBA with great flexibility: it can be started any time of the year. Rutgers at Newark / New Brunswick offers online "mini MBA" programs that take only 12 weeks to complete. The Stevens Institute of Technology also offers a technology-oriented online MBA. Most online programs offer the same basic curriculum and courses as their offline equivalents.

Michael Murray: Worlds Apart (2015)
One of the most ambitious bindings ever created by 21st Editions, inspired by the true livre d'artistes of the past, with inlays of stone, mother of pearl, stingray, wood, and copper. Each book will be unique.
Photographs by Michael Murray
Texts by Gideon Bosker and John Stauffer
With a poem by John Wood
15 bound and 16 loose pigment ink prints
Plus 2 images on anodized aluminum presented as an A-frame sculpture
Edition: 46 copies
Handcrafted in New England
The elemental to the engineered, an epic narrative told through a magically real photographic perspective that is timeless, original, and epiphanic--Gideon Bosker
Murray's genius resides in the brilliance of his eye, in its weaving of the world's disparate parts together into a cohesive and wondrous whole--John Wood
With Worlds Apart, Murray takes his place alongside some of the great visionaries of photography, who have also been inspired by the concepts of utopia and dystopia. Photography often functions as a powerful telescope, through which artists construct their visions of a new world, according the critic and curator Yasufumi Nakamori. Much like his visionary predecessors, Murray's utopian vision depends upon his revolutionary aesthetic. His art creates his utopia--John Stauffer
Michael Murray will very soon be recognized for what he is - a great visionary who depicts the world with technology he has been refining for four years. He is certainly the very first to have perfected this 360 degree interpretation of the world. With Worlds Apart, this contemporary visionary brings together the past, present, and future with a presentation that includes a unique binding, folio, and sculpture--Steven Albahari

Translation: The Making of The Long Excuse
Posted by Trevor Hogg on Aug 2, 2018 in All, drama, Film, Interviews, News | 0 comments
Trevor Hogg chats with Nishikawa Miwa about adapting her novel The Long Excuse for the big screen…
Along with her novel A Long Excuse about an adulterous novelist having to cope with the aftermath of his wife dying from a fatal tour bus accident being considered for the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize (Japanese literary award), filmmaker Nishikawa Miwa decided to make a cinematic adaptation starring Motoki Massahiro, Pistol Takehara, Fujita Kenshin, Shiratori Tamaki, Ikematsu Sousuke, Kuroki Haru and Fukatsu Eri. "There are many restrictions when it comes to shooting a movie such as time and budget. I was always keeping mind those restrictions when writing the script. In the last half of the novel ,I introduce quite complicated events as well as new characters uttering quite important things. However, I couldn't do that in the movie. I made it simpler. Also, I wanted to use Kinugasa Sachio [Motoki Masshario] as the main character. Everything happens around Sachio so that's the structure that I aimed at in the movie. For example, when I was writing the novel I deliberately did not introduce a particular scene and set it aside for the movie in the future. That includes the scene when Omiya Yoichi [Pistol Takehara] and Sachio are enjoying the summer on the beach. Sachio sees the silhouette of his late wife. Visually I wanted to convey a message that an audience can interpret in his or her own way to understand what was happening there."
The protagonist is not likeable as he is egocentric and self-centred. "I agree that the main character is not a likeable person, therefore, charisma is important," states Nishikawa. "I wanted to have a main character as a person who has human foolishness and weakness. That was the type of person I wanted to describe. But at the same time ,I needed the audience to follow, cheer and wish him well throughout the story. We needed someone just like that. It just so happened that Mr. Hirokazu Kore-eda [Japanese filmmaker known for Shoplifters] knows Mr. Motoki well. Mr. Hirokazu Kore-eda told me that the character is like Mr. Motoki's personality so he gave me advice to cast him as the main character. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do so because I had an impression that Mr. Motoki is self-conscious and has a complicated personality. But Hirokazu Kore-eda said , even so,he has certain charms that attract people. I listen to Hirokazu Kore-eda's advice and cast him."
A key relationship develops between Kinugasa Sachio and the children of widower Yoichi Omiya whose wife was killed during the same tour bus accident. "I auditioned more than 300 children," reveals Nishikawa. "Most of them never had any experience acting. Out of that two of them were chosen. Omiya Shinpei [Fujita Kenshi], the older brother, in his real life has a little brother and sister so he was used to looking after a younger sibling. Also, because he's othe ldest sibling he had an atmosphere of supressing his own desires and wishes in order to look after a young one. It was natural to him. I thought his character was close to Shinpei's. In regards to Omiya Akari [Shiratori Tamaki], the young girl, she was only three years old when we were casting so she was barely able to communicate with us. She was not shy at all and very curious. Shiratori was so little but she had an interesting character. She wasn't girlish nor boyish. The key was the characters of the boy and girl in the movie were very close to their natural personalities. Because they didn't have any experience, if I asked Akari to walk straight she wouldn't and couldn't. Also, when she gets sleepy she was in a bad mood. It was chaos!"
Kinugasa Sachio has a nervous breakdown as he does an Internet search of his name. "I'm sure that Mr. Motoki was quite embarrassed to be acting that way!" laughs Nishikawa. "The Internet and SMS are prevalent these days and distort the self-consciousness and complexity in people's minds. For example, after I release my work sometimes I Google myself and works and may find something I wouldn't want to read. When I do so I get deep into this habit of Googling and that would probably be contributing todestroying my self-consciousness or self-worth! It doesn't have to be well-known people, writer or actors; that could happen to anyone who has a self-consciousness and desire to be known and be loved. Internet technology makes it complicated for those people."
"I have seen so many different movies so in terms of framing it is based on my accumulated knowledge of cinema," notes Nishikawa. "I am more intuitive so the framing and film technology differs case by case or movie to movie. For this movie, I discussed with the director of photography [Yamazaki Yutaka] to use natural lighting as suppose to artificial lighting as much as possible. For example, in the latter half with Sachio losing his wife and struggling with his daily life I wanted to depict his dark chaotic state of mind; that is why I used as little light sources as possible to describe his dark mood." The apartment complex shown in the movie was a confining environment. The rooms of the apartments are so small so it wasn't fit for shooting but I wanted to use an actual one. It was challenging to find a good apartment in that location."
Nishikawa Miwa
One thing that can not be described in a novel is sound. "When making a movie I pay attention to the sound design," remarks Nishikawa. "Thinking about sound design is the most pleasurable work for me when making movies. For the first time, I decided to use classical music. There is the last scene where the main character is in his own house but hearing piano music played by a neighbourhood child. I decided to use Handel's The Harmonious Blacksmith which I was always thinking about when I was writing the novel. Since I decided to use Handel I used the same music in a different arrangement in several parts of the movie." Dealing with the young cast members was a major challenge. "Working around the time schedule and behaviour of the children was a first experience for me." The beach sequence is a favourite moment. It's a beautiful scene captured on super 16mm film. When I'm writing a novel there's always a scene where I could not describe in words. This is a good example where actors were there describing what is happening with their own bodies and with beautiful music as well."
Many thanks to Nishikawa Miwa for taking the time to be interviewed and for more information visit the official website for The Long Excuse.

Q: Wubi installer  is taking ages to download I am downloading Ubuntu 12.04--Wubi installer but for reasons unknown, it is taking ages to download. I have no choice but to abort it. FYI, I have installed Wubi before but have uninstalled it not long ago.
Appreciate your help. Thanks.

A: *

*Download the wubi.exe file only (it is a relatively small executable). Do not run it, just download it.

*Download the ISO image from one of the many mirrors, check which one will be fastest.

*Put the ISO image in the same folder as the wubi.exe file.

*Start wubi.exe and enjoy the blinking lights.

After attending graywolf5's "Pesky Puzzle" event in Saginaw recently, we decided we should get together again more often to try to solve some puzzles together (using what we learned). This is the followup event! Though Graywolf5 is talented enough to "teach" a class, I am not. This will just be an event to puzzle solve TOGETHER. If you missed Graywolf's class it doesn't matter. We'll attempt to share some of what we learned that night.
Bring puzzles that are giving you fits, and we'll see if we can work them together. Or bring your "go to puzzle solver" along, so they can laugh at us as we attempt to explain how we try to solve puzzles. Just a night of brain teasing, puzzle solving (hopefully), and fun.

Home Personal Injury Lewis Court Rejects the Use of the Collateral Source Rule to Establish Injury-in-Fact
Lewis Court Rejects the Use of the Collateral Source Rule to Establish Injury-in-Fact
By Katherine Peluso & Jeffrey D. Skinner on November 17, 2020
Posted in Personal Injury
In Illinois, the collateral source rule bars defendants from submitting evidence that plaintiffs received compensation for their injuries from a collateral source. For example, if a plaintiff is injured in a car accident due to someone else's negligent actions, often the plaintiff's insurance company will cover part of the plaintiff's medical expenses even before the plaintiff files a lawsuit against the tortfeasor. In that example, the defense is prohibited from submitting evidence regarding that compensation. The purpose of this rule is to prevent defendants from reducing or eliminating the amount of damages they are liable for. On May 21, 2020, the Illinois Supreme Court defined the outer limits of this rule in Mary Lewis, et al. v. Lead Industries Association, et al. (Atlantic Richfield Company, et al.),[1] holding that plaintiffs cannot use the collateral source rule to establish the injury element of a cause of action. The Lewis plaintiffs argued that the cost of the lead testing, which had been covered entirely by Medicaid, should be recoverable pursuant to the collateral source rule. The Court was unconvinced and ruled that pure economic loss claims in which a plaintiff cannot establish actual out-of-pocket expenses will fail and the collateral source rule will not provide the necessary support to overcome that hurdle in Illinois.
Factual Background and Procedural History[2] in Lewis
In Lewis, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendant paint manufacturers became aware of the hazards of lead-based paints in the 1920s, and that the defendants implemented and carried out a plan to conceal and mislead the public regarding those hazards.[3] The plaintiff class brought an economic loss claim for the costs they incurred for state-mandated lead testing services for their minor children, even though none of those minor children suffered any physical injury from lead poisoning.[4]
In May 2020, after 19 years of litigation, the Illinois Supreme Court remanded the case with instructions that the circuit court dismiss the plaintiffs' last remaining cause of action on the basis that the plaintiffs failed to plead and prove an actual injury.[5]
The Lewis Plaintiffs Suffered No Actual Injury
The plaintiffs' claim for civil conspiracy was grounded in intentional misrepresentation.[6] The defendants argued that the plaintiffs could not prove one essential element of the conspiracy claim: that their children suffered an injury caused by an unlawful overt act.[7] The underlying claim for intentional misrepresentation similarly requires a plaintiff to establish "damage[s]."[8]
Plaintiffs' economic injury claim based on the costs of state-mandated lead testing for their children falls within the Moorman exception to the general bar outlined in the Illinois economic loss doctrine because the claim alleges intentional misrepresentation. The issue, however, was whether the collateral source rule would help the plaintiffs maintain this cause of action where they did not incur any actual out-of-pocket expenses for the lead testing because those expenses were fully covered by Medicaid.[9]
The Collateral Source Rule Cannot Satisfy the Injury Element of a Cause of Action
The plaintiffs argued that they should be allowed to recover the Medicaid benefits covering the lead testing pursuant to the collateral source rule, which states that "'benefits received by the injured party from a source wholly independent of, and collateral to, the tortfeasor will not diminish damages otherwise recoverable from the tortfeasor.'"[10] The Illinois Supreme Court disagreed with the plaintiffs' rationale, holding instead that while "the rule prescribes a methodology of awarding damages … [it] does not prescribe rules for determining whether plaintiff has suffered an injury."[11] The court noted that the Lewis case was fundamentally different from collateral source jurisprudence because the plaintiffs could not establish an actionable injury as a threshold matter.
This ruling makes it clear that the collateral source rule does not apply in pure economic-loss tort cases where the plaintiff has suffered no physical injury, out-of-pocket loss, or other similar damages.[12]
While this was the first time the Illinois Supreme Court affirmatively rejected the collateral source rule being used to establish an injury, this decision is consistent with the standard evidentiary application of the rule in Illinois barring defendants from offering evidence of a plaintiff's collateral source compensation. Furthermore, the Lewis court noted that other jurisdictions including Missouri and Washington have similarly rejected plaintiffs' efforts to use the collateral source rule to establish an injury.[13]

← Slovakia has decided: My.RO to Baku!
Belgium has decided: Iris to Baku!
Fresh on the heels of Wednesday's announcement form Slovakia, we have news from Belgium that Flemish broadcaster VRT has also made their internal selection for Azerbaijan. Sixteen-year-old Iris (also known as Airis, real name Laura van den Bruel) will represent her nation this year, with a song to be determined later (VRT will soon hold an open call for songs, but it is unclear whether this means a second internal selection will occur or a small national final). Iris is managed by SonicAngel, the same group that works with Tom Dice, who sang for Belgium in 2010, bringing the country their best result in years (and the Flemish their best result ever). Will Iris have the same success?

Huxley, Julian
(1887-1975) UK biologist, journalist and author, elder brother of Aldous Huxley, in active service during World War One. His first work of sf interest, "Philosophic Ants: A Biologic Fantasy" (read May 1922 to the Heretics Club, Cambridge; 1922 Cornhill Magazine), though constructed as an essay, intriguingly speculates on ants' radical non-mammalian Perception of the world, and how their world-view might differ through these profound differences in sensory apparatus. He wrote very little fiction as such, one exception being "The Tissue-Culture King: A Biologic Fantasy" (April 1926 Cornhill Magazine), set in a Lost World whose natives have been experimented upon by something like a Mad Scientist, who uses something like Genetic Engineering to transform them into giant Monsters; a second scientist creates a "will battery" to control the natives' Psi Powers.
Huxley is better known for If I Were Dictator (1934; exp 1934), a nonfiction speculation (see Futures Studies), in which he describes the Utopia he would mandate: a planned society through the ordinances of which a rational world is able to maintain itself. Religions are permitted; Sex reforms have led to relaxed interpersonal behaviour, and happy families. Though he had early been influenced by the work of Francis Galton, the implications of Eugenics are here muted. Huxley did however espouse a "humane" form of eugenics before World War Two, publishing some relatively moderate essays in Eugenics Journal; in The Uniqueness of Man (1941) he suggests, however, that eugenics would "become part of the religion of the future" and that "true negroes have a slightly lower than average intelligence than the whites or yellows." After the war, as a founder and first Director-General of UNESCO (1946-1948), and as a revered public guru in Britain, Huxley eschewed (and quite likely evolved away from) a pattern of thought where eugenics and racism might tacitly cohabit (see Evolution; Race in SF). Huxley was knighted in 1958. [JC]

The first step to prevent skin chafing is to understand what it is. Skin chafing is essentially friction caused by skin-to-skin contact. Chafing could occur anywhere on your body, such as your underarms or even between your thighs (i.e. when you walk or run). The heat from the sun, excessive sweating, humidity, or cold air can also contribute to skin chafing and irritability.
Pain and discomfort: For example, you may feel irritation between your legs or under your feet when you walk, jog, or run.
Stinging or burning sensation: For example, you may experience a stinging sensation under your arms.
Extreme irritation: The affected area may become red and inflamed.
The good news is that none of these symptoms should last for too long. If they do, however, you may need to seek medical attention.
Baby powder: Staying dry is a key prevention technique. When the skin is moist and wet, it can heighten irritable symptoms. A good tip is to apply soothing baby powder to areas that accumulate moisture.
Lubrication: Since chafing is caused by friction, lubricating the areas of the skin that are constantly rubbing against each other decreases the friction and reduces the chances of skin chafing. You don't need to buy anything fancy, a jar of petroleum jelly will do.
Dress for the occasion: Take steps to protect yourself in both cold and warm weather climates. Dress accordingly for each occasion. For example, avoid wearing cotton while jogging to prevent sweat from clinging to your clothing. Compression shorts are also a good idea when jogging.
1. Keep the affected area clean: Clean the area gently as it will be sensitive and painful. Once you clean the area, you need to dry it thoroughly. We've already discussed how moisture or wetness impacts chafing so keeping the area dry, yet moisturized, should soothe irritated skin.
2. Moisturize: After cleaning and drying the area, the next step is to moisturize. Petroleum jelly, baby oil, vitamin E, lavender, or aloe vera will do the trick. Just remember to avoid participating in active sports or heavy forms of physical activity until the affected area is treated.
3. Medication: If all else fails, your physician may suggest some kind of medication. Anti-inflammatory medication is usually effective in treating the symptoms of chafing, along with any combination of the other treatments mentioned.
Some people experience chafing more than others. For those who consistently deal with skin chafing, adjusting the diet may help. Incorporate foods into your diet that contain antioxidants or are rich in vitamin A, such as spinach, egg yolks, and other fruits and vegetables.
Chafing is not something that is debilitating, but it can impact some of the activities you enjoy doing. Jogging, playing sports, or doing anything active becomes uncomfortable when skin chafing occurs. Make sure to follow the prevention and treatment tips mentioned above to help prevent chafing in uncomfortable areas.

A couple of thoughts on the Brewers as they move in for the sweep of the Mets and surge into first place.
1. This team is pretty good, but man do they have deplorable starting pitching aside from Gallardo - they seriously miss Ben Sheets. Looper, Suppan, Bush and Parra have been healthy enough that the Brewers have given just 3 starts to pitchers outside their front five, but the results are ghastly: a 5.60 ERA, with mediocre K/BB numbers (3.65 BB/9, 6.00 K/9), and more importantly 1.6 HR/9. It's hard to see a whole lot of room for improvement there, although if Parra (7.62 ERA) can get straightened out and throw strikes, they'd be in less of a hole. They're still going to need a #2 starter eventually.
2. Trevor Hoffman having the second-best ERA of his career is definitely a surprise. Before the season I'd thought he needed to be restricted to a ROOGY role, but he's held lefties to a manageably soft .300/.364/.300 while slaughtering righthanded hitters at a .116/.130/.163 clip (he's faced about a 50/50 mix). The main reason for the low ERA is that he hasn't been taken deep yet this season; his other numbers are good but not exceptional.
3. Mike Cameron is a textbook example of a guy who transformed from a talented underachiever to a respected veteran simply by doing the same thing every year for enough years. He's always been a guy who would give you some power and speed, great defense and a little plate patience, strike out a ton and hit for a low average. As a young player, people focused on the whiffs and what he could accomplish if he made more contact. At 36 and still striking out at a clip of 140-160 times a year, he is what he is.
4. I have JJ Hardy on one of my fantasy teams, and for the fantasy owner, Hardy is maddening because he's so incredibly streaky that you hate to bail on him even though he's batting .233/.308/.368. Last season, for example, Hardy was batting .242/.319/.343 on June 10; by July 7, he was batting .296/.364/.493. In 2007 it was a hot start; he batted .323/.371/.628 through May 16, but finished at .277/.323/.463.
Needless to say, he's just as frustrating for his real owners/fans, although in Milwaukee's case there's no serious thought to be given to replacing him; they just have to grit their teeth and wait for him to catch fire.
Mike Cameron's lifetime record is skewed considerably by his time in Seattle. He had a rough time hitting in that park; as I recall, the hitter's background was awful, which apparently affected different batters differently, but no one more than Mike Cameron.
I always liked the guy, and wish the Mets had found a way to keep him. Only think of the corner outfielders the Mets have endured since Cameron. Maybe he and Beltran could have avioded another collision.
Cameron only played 4 years in Seattle. He was a terrible hitter there over that time period for sure. He batted .223 in his 4 years as a Mariner at Safeco. He was not exactly a burner in other ballparks as he hit .277 everywhere else (his success away was more magnified in 2000 and 2001 less so the in 2002 and 2003). However, and I think this is pretty weird given the large discrepency in BA over a 4 year period, he struck out 300 times at home in that period and 301 times on the road. He had a handful more ABs on the road but considering he had 88 more hits over that time period on the road than at home that's pretty weird. His BABIP is amazingly different away from Safeco.
The point is though that he still strikes out wherever he goes. The ball just falls in more other places.
He hit better at Miller Park (.343) before he became a Brewer (.232). Prior to arriving at Shea he hit .292/.393/.417, since he left he's hit .294/.500/.588. While he was a Met? How about a tasty .238/.310/.420? Clearly sample sizes are smaller as a visitor than a home player but their is no contradiction in any case I could find. How is it possible that he has done this for AN ENTIRE 15 YEAR CAREER? Has anyone else ever been such a crappy hitter in their own ballpark especially given that it has been several ballparks over the years?

HSE RUN is a culture and history quest that any HSE student can participate in, from lyceum students to graduate students. By solving riddles and moving along a predefined route, participants of the quest not only learn about the history of Moscow, but they also learn about each other. The team that collects the highest number of points for answering questions correctly and quickly wins.
The HSE RUN project first appeared in 2011 and was spearheaded by Ingroup CtC as a PR campaign for the HSE Iron Egg student award. It has gradually turned into its own independent project will take place for the 14th time in May of this year.
While preparing for our eighth HSE RUN in 2014, we were asked to create a quest specifically for schoolchildren. We had already heard of the new student project competition and decided to enter. In our project defence in front of the judges, we decided to focus on this very quest. We ended up winning, and since the contest first began we have won every year.
The money that we get from the contest – around 50,000 rubles each year – is enough for us to carry out several quests. Before, they were held three or four times a year, but we realized that the best time to participate is in spring and fall. We spend the money we get on various organizational expenses, like press rolls, t-shirts, office supplies, souvenirs, the website, and PR materials that we print in the typography division of HSE. In addition, we bring in sponsors, not to finance the project, but just to give out prizes to the winners.
We developed the website, hserun.ru, ourselves, which is where some of our money goes. The site is only up during the time of a quest, but you can see all information about the organisation on our VKontakte page at https://vk.com/hserun. Each team consists of between two and five individuals, and they use the website to register and receive 20 clues that can be solved in random order. The teams can also get hints on the website. The questions are usually related to historical sites around Moscow, and if a team answers correctly, the site tells them to go to the location that they guessed to received what is called an insider. This insider gives you a special code that can be entered on the website to receive points. The quest lasts four hours, and the winning team is the one that solves the most riddles and collects the most points.
Previously, text messages were used to send riddles and receive answers, but since the riddles were only given as you went along the route, it was just not possible to solve the riddles in random order. When the number of participants started growing, our own team expanded considerably. During the quest, a huge number of people sat in a room, each leading several teams at once. Then this became too difficult, so we created a website to automate many of these processes.
Only a handful of people took part in the quest at first, but now we have close to 450 participants. We're planning for this number to grow to 500 in the near future. The administrative team is also fairly large now and includes a coordinator, HR, a creative director who has assistants to think of riddles, a PR specialist, a social media specialist, and someone responsible for working with sponsors. In total, there are 10-15 people working on the project, and around 20 volunteers join the project when the actual quest takes place.
We are currently positioning ourselves as a project that helps people adapt to the capital. The quest is useful for students who come to Moscow from other cities and don't know anyone yet. They don't even have to register beforehand and can just show up to the quest to be put on teams.
Soon, we are planning to work on increasing our audience. We still have money left over to carry out one or two quests, but we are definitely going to continue participating in the Student Project Contest. And the fact that the contest is held more frequently now, more than just once a year, helps a lot with planning as well.


Sometimes opportunities presents themselves out of the blue. When I was asked to give a lecture on social media in emergency settings at the Master of Disaster Management at University of Copenhagen, I didn't quite feel like an expert on the topic (as I wrote about in an earlier post). But it did not take much research to realised that the combination of social media and disaster/emergency management is super interesting and an example of how social media can play a role in saving lives. It doesn't get much more public health relevant than that.
Both preparing for the lecture and teaching was a good experience, and I feel I managed in the 3×45 minutes available to get around the topic in a comprehensive way – although with that time frame it can only be an introduction. In addition, I got great feedback from the students who, coming from all over the world, had different experiences with dealing with disasters, which they could contribute with in the discussions.
In my experience the first (and sometimes only) thing that comes people's mind when they think of what social media can be used for in emergency settings is dissemination of information and messages to the public. Social media are simply categorized as yet another communication channel equal to radio, tv etc. But as it is well illustrated in the YouTube video on the right (click the picture) it is much more than that.
With this experience it was important for me in my lecture to highlight some of the other key functions of social media in disasters. Below are 4 broad categories for the potential use of social media in emergency situations. There are surely other ways social media can be used and as said the four below are quite broad and thus covers lots of sub-functions.
Communicate and enter into dialogue with the public, other institutions etc.
Gather information about the emergency by monitoring the situation, identifying areas of need and picking up rumours and misunderstandings.
One advantage of teaching (and of blogging) is that you get so much feedback and suggestions for new things to read, websites to visit etc. I thought I'd share two of these tips with you. The first is a website that a student in the class recommended. It is called Safe & Well and is provided by the American Red Cross. The idea is that after a disaster, people in the affected area can through this website let their family and friends know that they are safe and well. By clicking the button "List Myself as Safe and Well" you register on the site. Relatives can then search the list of those who have registered themselves as "safe and well" by clicking on the "Search Registrants" button. The results of a successful search will display a loved one's first name, last name and a brief message.
The posts on this blog are double-posted on the Medical Museion's website and there my previous post on social media and disaster management was commented by a researcher from Aarhus University, Andreas Birkbak, who had authored an interesting article about the use of Facebook for informal emergency collaboration during a snow blizzard on the Island of Bornholm in Denmark. A very interesting article that I might use next time I teach. Read the article your self: Crystallizations in the Blizzard: Contrasting Informal Emergency Collaboration In Facebook Group. Thanks for sharing it on the blog, Andreas!
Social media is there in the world and will be used in disaster situations whether you like it or not – you can't afford to disregard it!
Social media can (and should) be used for much more than dissemination – take advantage of its possibilities to monitor and get into dialogue!
When working with disaster management don't hold back from social media because you're afraid of making mistakes, because you will make mistakes – just make sure you learn from them!

Q: How to use F# types from C# wpf application In F# I have code with structure like this:
module MyNS.MyModule

type SomeType =
    member x.value = "some value"

Assemble with it code named MyNs. I referenced to it from C# WPF application and do the same in XAML:
<UserControl x:Class="WpfTest"
             xmlns:data="clr-namespace:MyNS;assembly=MyNs">

then I trying to used SomeType in DataTemplate:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type data:MyModule.SomeType}">

But have an error about missing type.

A: I think it should look like below, with MyModule+SomeType instead of  MyModule.SomeType for a nested class.
<UserControl x:Class="WpfTest"
             xmlns:data="clr-namespace:MyNS;assembly=MyNs">

<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type data:MyModule+SomeType}">

Found it here on SO.
