From Mundane to Sublime: Turning Ordinary Items Into Must-Haves
Rebekah Epstein
Founder and Publicist, Fifteen Media
May 2, 2014 5 min read
Branding mundane, everyday products can be challenging. How do you make unsexy household items hip and trendy? It isn't easy! It's a lot harder to brand boring commodities than innovative, new gadgets.
Yet coherent branding can add life to an otherwise ordinary item.
One company doing this is Vertty, a startup based in Lisbon, Portugal. The founder, Diogo Cruz, 24, came up with the idea for his beach towel company while traveling in Australia. He realized that when someone plans a beach outing, the three compulsory items to bring along are flip-flops, a bathing suit and a beach towel. "With flip-flops, you already have a big and international Brazilian 'love' brand," he says, referring to Havaianas. For board shorts and bikinis, Roxy, Salinas, Osklen are the well-known brands. "But in beach towels," he says, "you have nothing."
So Cruz made it his mission reinvent the beach towel into a trendy fashion accessory.
After hearing about Vertty, I set out to gain some insight into how one can turn an everyday item into a designer must-have. Here are a few things I learned:

1. Design is everything. A key to reinvention is mixing up the design and changing how people think about a product.
In Vertty's case, the designers wanted people to recognize that a beach towel could be chic and fashionable. First they conquered the shape, deciding to forgo the traditional rectangle. Instead, Vertty designers pieced together geometric triangles to give the towels an interesting form. They opted for a new material called ketten, a blend of 90 percent cotton and 10 percent polyester that they claim is lighter than regular cotton. Also, Vertty towels are sized 10 percent bigger than the typical beach towel.
For Leeana Provan, founder of LoveLee Soaps in Daytona Beach, Fla., the design challenge came in a bar of soap. "I wanted to show that soap could be more than unassuming rectangles of nothingness," she says. "When most people think of soap, they automatically imagine white or perhaps pale mint green bars," she says. "Instead, I created soaps that evoke the salty-caramel aromas of a beach boardwalk on a summer day, the snap of a pickle or the comfort of a hot bowl of mac and cheese."

2. Find inspiration everywhere. In reworking a basic commodity used on a daily basis, an entrepreneur trying to change things up might find inspiration in unusual places. Nicole Porter in New York City created an eponymous line of hand-painted artisanal housewares; her plates, bowels and serving trays are works of art.
"Ninety-nine percent of my line is inspired by fashion," she says. "I'm always really interested in what the new and hot colors are for Fashion Week in New York City as much as street fashion. I try to bring a lot of those elements in to classic, everyday pieces."

3. Give customers an experience. When a company sells something as ordinary as beach towels, soaps or plates, providing shoppers an unusual experience can make the product feel that much more special.
Provan at LoveLee Soaps takes great care to do just this. No one expects soap to come in the shape of cheese and crackers as her products do, she says; she figures she's providing customers something fun to talk about. When customers come across "something unique that they don't see in everyday life," she says, "it draws their attention and creates a deeper connection to the product."

4. Pay attention to details. "We looked at lots of 'love' brands," Cruz says, naming Apple, Swatch, Lego and Coca-cola. "And we identified the key success indicators of those brands" lay in the attention details, he says. "It was all about the concept -- not being all over the place but sticking" to the imagery of the brand.
"When you buy a Vertty, the box has a sand-polish finishing all around the outside to give you an instantly beach feeling for the first time you touch the product," he says. "When you open the box, you will read, 'Now our story begins.'"
These little details are important because they set the stage for customers to feel comfortable paying a higher price than what's charged for the typical beach towel, he says.

I spent the day today in Tuscany at the brand new winery of Masseto. It was the inaugural tasting held at this brand new facility and I was honored to be in the room with the owners & winemakers to taste through the 1998, 2004 & 2015 vintages. A brief, fascinating tour of the underground, gravity-fed bunker was followed by a spectacular lunch.
Tuscany truly is a special place with Masseto sitting high up overlooking the coast, the king of the hill in every respect. The 2015 nudged out the 1998 vintage for me but attempting to pick a clear winner was futile. The winery, the event and the pure quality that runs through the facility, along with my very humble hosts being the real winners. Masseto – the epitome of class. Sincere thanks to the folks at Vintus Imports for this invitation. It was a very special day.


I really miss my family back in the philippines, i've been away for almost 2 years now...i miss the bonding of the family at dinner time everyday. My twin sister and i usally take turns in cooking especially for supper, we just love to cook. Every occasion at home like birthdays and holidays or simply just for fun, i am usually the one incharge in the kitchen, but when my twin sis took the cuisine lesson, i was just simply her side kick then, but it was fun, she taught me everyting she knows, lucky for me as its free of charge hehe....i remember, if ever we are out and tasted yummy food, we tried to copy and try to cook it at home, sometimes invent new recipe for the family too...believe it or not, i still have my recipe i've learned in my high school cooking lesson....me and my twin sister always had fun in the kitchen, we're perfect partners in the kitchen as we shared same passion.....But now that i'm away, i still have the passion in cooking, i love watching food network as one of my past time and trying some of the recipe i've watched.
Lucky for me as my husband loves to cook too and bought a lot of recipe books, i kid you not, we got 2 bookshelves of cook books alone, but still not contented i've copied a lot of recipes from the internet too. Now that its summer, barbeque is always in the menu...i love to share one of my recipe: dina-style barbeque kebab recipe (filipino style bbq), you can check the recipe soon as i am trying to post some of my favorite recipes at i love foods category by visiting my blog. Right now i'm still updating it.
It reminds me that one of my favorite host from The heat aired in food network will be on PASSION PROFILES this coming August 25, 2010. Passion Profiles is a very inspiring online series talk show sponsored by Haagen-Dazs where it showcasing some of canada's finest chef, musicians and designers, sharing their life stories, thougths and inspirations. Hosted by ET Canada star and host, Cheryl Hickey. This is not just for entertainment where you can watch your favorite personalities but you can acquire ideas and inspires you pursuing your passion and be successful.

Banking on ATM safety
Chicago inventor Joseph Zingher has a good reason to look sour. Given the circumstances, Zingher, 45, should be shopping for a retirement home in sunny Florida. Instead, he's broke and lodging with his brother.
Jan. 28, 2004, 7:00 PM UTC / Source: Forbes
By Tomas Kellner
Zingher is the inventor and patent holder for the ATM SafetyPIN software. Say you get held up at night withdrawing money from a teller machine. Type in your PIN backwards and the ATM will call the cops, just like dialing 911 or pushing a panic button. The robber won't know a thing, since the transaction will proceed and money will be dispensed.
On Jan. 1, Illinois enacted a law asking banks and ATM providers in the state to incorporate such reverse-pin safety catch into their terminals. A similar bill is moving through the state senate in Kansas, where three people were forced to withdraw money from an ATM and were later murdered in 2002.
A boon for Zingher and his company Zi-Cubed, of which he's the president and sole employee? Maybe not.
Problem is, banks aren't interested, and Illinois legislators watered down the original language of the law. It now provides that terminals "may, rather than must, be designed to send an alarm when a personal identification number is entered in reverse order."
The amended language got banks effectively off the hook. "Under the circumstances, I wasn't even able to give the damn thing away," grumbles Zingher.
Zingher, a former member of the U.S. Army Military Police, got the idea for SafetyPIN in 1994, when he needed cash in a bad part of town. He paid $500 to a computer science major to write the simple code that would recognize reversed, inverted or otherwise altered PIN as a distress signal, and instructed the teller machine to call the cops. He filed for a patent the same year.
In March 1998, the U.S Patent and Trademark Office awarded Zingher patent number 5,731,575. He spent the last six years shopping the idea to banks in Illinois, as well as Georgia and Florida.
So far, he has found no takers. By his own counting, he spent over $100,000 on patent applications, research studies and marketing to push the software.
Zingher says that banks aren't interested in advertising ATMs as potential crime sites. "When you talk to the bankers, they all love the idea," he says. "But they also want to know who else is using it. Everybody wants to be second, nobody wants to be first."
Zingher insists that his numbers bear out that safety is a big issue for debit-card users. Most police departments do not tally ATM-related crimes. But a report Zingher commissioned from the polling firm Zogby International showed that more than half of surveyed ATM users were concerned about their safety while withdrawing money. Another study showed that 30 percent passed by an ATM because of safety worries.
Banks shrug such numbers. Thomas Kelly, spokesman for Chicago's Bank One, calls Zingher's pitching "relentless." His bank isn't buying it, though. "The best advice we give to people is to exercise caution and look at their surroundings," he says. "There are lots of people who fumble with their PINs. We wouldn't want to cause false alarms."
Zingher says that it would cost $10 million to install his software in all 270,000 ATMs in the United States.
By no means is Zingher giving up. Although "plain broke," he has filed for three more patents, one incorporating biometrics, such as collecting fingerprints and iris scans into his system. He offered to let Kansas banks use his software for free, hoping it would catch on elsewhere.
Zingher needs to move fast: The ATM security business is catching the eye of the big boys. On January 20, IBM received a patent for its own "duress PIN" system. Although IBM, whose patent cites Zingher's invention, says it has no immediate plans to use the technology, Zingher may soon find himself wrestling with the Big Blue, rather than counting greenbacks.

Molecular Cloning and Crystal Structural Analysis of a Novel β-N-Acetylhexosaminidase from Paenibacillus sp. TS12 Capable of Degrading Glycosphingolipids

生物機能分子化学
We report the molecular cloning and characterization of two novel β-N-acetylhexosaminidases (β-HEX, EC 3.2.1.52) from Paenibacillus sp. strain TS12. The two β-HEXs (Hex1 and Hex2) were 70% identical in primary structure, and the N-terminal region of both enzymes showed significant similarity with β-HEXs belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20). Interestingly, however, the C-terminal region of Hex1 and Hex2 shared no sequence similarity with the GH20 β-HEXs or other known proteins. Both recombinant enzymes, expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), hydrolyzed the β-N-acetylhexosamine linkage of chitooligosaccharides and glycosphingolipids such as asialo GM2 and Gb4Cer in the absence of detergent. However, the enzyme was not able to hydrolyze GM2 ganglioside in the presence or in the absence of detergent. We determined three crystal structures of Hex1; the Hex1 deletion mutant Hex1-ΔC at a resolution of 1.8 Å; Hex1-ΔC in complex with β-N-acetylglucosamine at 1.6 Å; and Hex1-ΔC in complex with β-N-acetylgalactosamine at 1.9 Å. We made a docking model of Hex1-ΔC with GM2 oligosaccharide, revealing that the sialic acid residue of GM2 could hinder access of the substrate to the active site cavity. This is the first report describing the molecular cloning, characterization and X-ray structure of a procaryotic β-HEX capable of hydrolyzing glycosphingolipids.

All styles of music and genres will be considered but also lyrical substance is important but they are also looking for top quality standout attention-grabbing songs.
THEY JUST NEED BE TOP SONGS!!
Please submit your best work, radio ready, mastered songs. You must own 100% copyright. Only songs with cleared samples. I will accept demos as I am also a music producer / studio owner so if the song is a 'no brainer' and has enough potential to fit the opp then I would consider re-cutting it for the client.
The CMI Music Group has worked closely with companies such as: Apple, Netflix, Honda, Reebok, Samsung, BBC, ABC, New Show Media, Massive Films, Rickety Shack films
Payouts and rights: If selected you will keep 100% of your rights, royalties and payments dependent on the amount of times the tracks are used. Payout is $4k-$8k dependent on usage and length of use.

Beats needed for TV & Online Advertising Campaigns in South Korea ($500-$14,000 per use)
All rights TV & Online Advertising Campaigns in South Korea ($500-$14,000 per use)
Currently seeking "beats" for use in TV & Online advertising campaigns in South Korea!
,br> When I say "beats", I mean any tracks that are driven by a breakbeat, as one, if not the most dominant part of the track. Ie, Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, Dubstep, Electronica, Edm, Trap, Grime, Experimental etc.
All tracks must be upbeat and have a "Phat Beat", "Killer Beat", "Sick Beats", "Dope Beat" or whatever your preferred description would be.
Music must be well produced, high-quality, mixed and mastered. Instrumental tracks preferred please, but great vocal tracks can be accepted too (if you can supply instrumental versions even better) and all tempos considered.
Artists must own all rights to their music 100% on both sides and there must be no copyright infringement. All music will be listened to, reviewed and feedback given.
The average cost of TV advertising commercial in Korea is $800 to $1,500 per track, and for worldwide rights up to $14,000.
The average cost of Online & YouTube advertising in Korea is $500-$2500 (geo restricted for single country of Korea), and worldwide use for $3000-$5000.
Selected tracks be sent to clients in South Korea and music licensed on a non-exclusive basis (so you maintain all rights to your music), we simply go 50-50 on deals we get and you're paid quarterly.
The South Korean market is built on a unique structure, which is not the same as any foreign market structure around the world. Because of this Korea has a higher advertising music fee than most other countries. This may be due to systemic limitations that the performing royalties cannot be collected, but also because there is no subsequent secondary payment after the initial payment of music fees. The total amount paid in Korea is 100% mechanical payout.
Clients who will be using music in South Korea; Korea's major advertising agencies including the CHEIL and INOCEAN and brands such as; Samsung, LG, Hyundai and SK to name a few.
If you make "beats' I really look forward to hearing from you !

Top 40 type Pop Songs needed for film license
Current/Billboard top 40 type Pop songs needed for a film license. The film will release in mid to late-2019, so final decision is still a few months away. Songs can be male or female vocals. Some rap can be included, but mostly singing. Think along the lines of Camila Cabello, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Lauv, Nicki Minaj, Shawn Mendes, Bebe Rexha, Ed Sheeran. We are open to a wide variety of artist styles, but they must fit in the lane of what you would hear on Top 40 radio and see on top Pop Spotify playlists currently.
If we think your submission may fit, we will place it on hold for further review by the entire team working on this project. If it is selected, we will contact you further with details.
Please keep in mind that this is a "submission-only" dropbox. We are looking for the perfect song for this pitch. We will not be giving detailed feedback on submissions. Either we feel the song may fit the brief or it doesn't. We apologize for not being able to give feedback beyond whether it fits or not, but the time constraints of the nature of these projects will not allow us the time to give in-depth feedback on the song. We will, however, submit ratings on every submission.

Seeking Hits for Licensing Placements
We have been working tirelessly over the years to build the best catalog of great independent music from various genres. However, there is one area in which we feel we could do better.

As long as the song has hit potential, we would like to hear it. Genre wise we are open, but indie pop and indie folk seem to work best for licensing placements.
Here are some great examples of music that we would like to have in our catalog:
- The Lumineers - Ho Hey
- Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home
- Charli XCX - Break The Rules
- James Bay - Hold Back The River
We accept ONE-STOP submissions only, ie songs that you own or control 100% (writer, master and publisher). Please submit only professionally recorded and mastered songs. NO DEMOS, NO COVERS.
As an added bonus, if your song is Selected, we will offer to release your music on Filter Label.

new Seeking Covers of Hit Songs for Licensing Placements
Seeking Covers of Hit Songs for Licensing Placements
The post houses and advertising agencies we work with seem to have a never ending demand for covers of popular songs. Therefor, we would like to broaden our catalog with inventive cover versions of compositions that have been big worldwide hits.
We are not looking for interpretations trying to imitate the original. We are seeking just the opposite - new takes on well known songs which transport them to new, unexpected directions. Covers are usually considered for film trailers and big ad campaigns, so it would be great to hear submissions that have space and a "cinematic" sound. However, if you have a dynamic, aggressive cover of a slow song, that could work too.
Below are some brilliant examples of what we would like to hear:
- Skylar Grey - Addicted To Love
- Vega Choir - Creep
- Lo-Fang - You're The One That I Want
- Hannah Peel - Tainted Love
- Think Up Anger feat. Malia J - Smells Like Teen Spirit
- Lorde - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
- KI Theory - Enjoy The Silence
Please submit only professionally recorded and mastered songs.
As an added bonus, if your cover is Selected, we will offer to release your music on Filter Label. The songs by our talented artists can be heard in The OA, Exatlon, The Matrix Revisited, CSI: Las Vegas, Nikita, on ads for McDonald's, Nike, Philip Morris, Nestle Wagner, Bank Millennium, in shows on MTV, CNN, Nat Geo, NBC, Al Jazeera, Esquire, Channel 4 and almost every major TV network in the world.

new Urban Electronic World Pop needed for Hollywood action film franchise
Urban Electronic World Pop needed for Hollywood action film franchise (£10-25k)
Currently seeking unsigned "Urban Electronic World Pop" for our catalogue and to pitch to a major Hollywood action film franchise largely concerned with illegal street racing, heists and spy's.
When I say "Urban Electronic World Pop", I mean any Electronic Urban Pop tracks that have world/global/universal music themes I.e. Indian riffs, Latin vocals, Spanish rappers, French themes etc. If you imagine a Columbian mumble rapper, over a 4/4 beat, with a sitar and big Baptist choir, you'll get my drift.
Musical influences can come from every country around the world and if any musical references are to a specific country all the better. Ie, music associated to Thailand, Columbia, Germany etc. All genres good as long as it's a Pop track. Ie, Hip-Hop, Dance, Electronica, Edm, House, Trap, Grime influences etc.
Music must be produced to the highest standard, mixed and mastered. Vocal tracks preferred please, but great instrumental tracks will be pitched too. All tracks must be big, confident and upbeat and have a "driving beat", "Killer Beat", "Sick Beas", "Dope Beat" or whatever your preferred description would be.
All music submitted will be listened to, reviewed and feedback given. Artists must own all rights to their music 100% on both sides and there must be no copyright infringement as you will be held responsible.
Selected tracks will be added to our catalogue and pitched to film and music successfully licensed will be on a non-exclusive basis (so you maintain all rights to your music), we simply go 50-50 on deals we get for you and you keep 100% all backend royalties (performance / mechanical). Selected tracks will also be pitched for relevant spots at Resonant, and if we've already accepted your music you don't have to re-submit.
If you make "Urban Global Electronic World Pop" I'll really look forward to hearing from you!
- Giles Gale - Music supervisor, sync & Licensing Manager - Resonant Music Licensing Ps, If there's a large number of submissions either myself or my colleague Liam at Resonant will respond to the submissions, thank you.

When it comes to their human impact, mosquitoes punch way above their weight. These tiny parasites spread many human diseases, including dengue fever, which infects up to 100 million people every year. Mosquito-borne diseases are notoriously hard to control, however, a new approach using Wolbachia, a common bacterium that infects the majority of insects, offers hope. Wolbachia is a selfish guest, and doesn't like sharing. Like squatters laying their claim, the bacteria lock the door to any new tenants looking for a place to stay inside cells. And so mosquitoes already carrying Wolbachia very rarely become infected with devastating dengue virus. Areas, such as these eye cells, riddled with dengue (stained red) are virus-free when Wolbachia (stained bright green on the right) is present. Combined with the fact that Wolbachia cuts a mosquito's lifespan in half, this enemy of the insect world could turn out to be our best friend.

Rogers Plan to Acquire Shaw's Wireless Spectrum for $300 Million in Jeopardy
by Nick Salerni – Sat, August 16, 2014
In January 2013, Rogers announced plans to purchase Shaw's wireless spectrum as a part of a $700 million deal.
According to a report from The Globe and Mail, Rogers' plan to acquire the wireless spectrum may be in jeopardy. Ottawa is expected to block the sale of the unused wireless spectrum to Rogers.
The news comes after the Canadian federal government has tightened its policy on the Canadian wireless spectrum. The Canadian government is trying to push for more competition in the wireless space.
In a conference call, Shaw's CEO Brad Shaw said:
"Well, the rules [were] pretty clear when we bought this spectrum that after five years you could transfer them to incumbents, and so we still work on that premise and we are not sort of entertaining hypothetical ideas."
The other option for Shaw is they could contribute their block of the wireless spectrum to a fourth carrier, like Mobilicity for example.
The companies did not disclose the exact price Rogers would pay if it exercised the option but analysts have put it in the range of $300-million.
Rogers has already paid a non-refundable $50-million for the option alone and Shaw management said last year that Rogers had also made a $200-million deposit that would be repaid if the option is not exercised.
If Shaw does not have build plans for their wireless spectrum within the next five years, they will possibly lose it, as the original terms say build requirements are required within 10 years–the company is already halfway into their ownership. Do you think Ottawa should allow Rogers to purchase Shaw's portion of the wireless spectrum? Let us know in the comments below.

Harlem Native Dave East Lends Flawless Flows To the Third Season Of "Godfather Of Harlem" With The Single "Damn"
By Sheen Magazine|2023-01-24T11:09:33-05:00January 24th, 2023|Celebrities, Entertainment, Sheen Magazine|0 Comments
With Episode 2 premiering last Sunday, executive music producer, Swizz Beatz, has undoubtedly established the soundtrack of MGM+'s Godfather of Harlem as one of the hit show's main characters. Episode 1 brought us the speaker knocking "Hustle, Repeat", which featured Swizz and longtime Ruff Ryder cohort Jadakiss. This time the super producer and Hip Hop legend calls on Harlem's own Dave East to paint a vivid picture of ghetto persistence and street survival with the single "Damn".
Godfather of Harlem tells a story inspired by infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Forrest Whitaker) who in the early 1960s returned from 11 years in prison to find the neighborhood he once ruled in shambles.
In season three, Bumpy Johnson continues to battle for control of Harlem, with other aspirants to the throne, namely the Cuban Mafia from neighboring Spanish Harlem. Taking on the Cuban mob will put Bumpy, his loved ones, and his community in the crosshairs of not only the rival Italians, but ruthless Latin assassins and, ultimately, the CIA. Godfather of Harlem is a collision of the criminal underworld and the civil rights movement during one of the most tumultuous times in American history.

Walsall FC takes runners-up spot in national Football Club Hospitality Award...
WALSALL FC has come runner-up in the Best Football Club Hospitality category of the Football Business Awards 2014, beating off some esteemed competition in the process.
The annual Football Business Awards recognise good practice and the unsung heroes behind-the-scenes who help to shape the football industry.
The glittering ceremony took place at Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea Football Club, on Thursday evening.
Walsall FC were one of only a handful of Football League clubs shortlisted in two categories, including the Best Matchday Hospitality category where we came up alongside Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
On the night we came in second-place to Chelsea, and was given a 'Mark of Excellence'.
The judges praised the fact that Walsall Football Club, as a whole from the Chairman to Receptionist, have adopted the 'You Said, We Did' approach to a fan's experience on Matchday.
They also complimented us on meeting head-on the challenge of providing quality and value-for-money in a competitive environment by constantly seeking ways to provide a highly-tailored service and by treating all customers as individuals with their own needs, expectations and ideals.
"We're delighted to have received such high praise and beaten off the challenge of some of the country's top football clubs to finish as runners-up," said Walsall FC Chief Executive, Stefan Gamble. "We're proud of the facilities that we have here and the quality of the matchday experience that we are able to offer to all supporters.
"This is a tremendous achievement for us and one that we are extremely proud of."
Congratulations go out to all involved and we can assure you that we will not stand still and will continue to look to improve and enhance the standard of service that we offer.


'Hot Seat' is a sermon series that speaks into tough issues our culture is wrestling with. And believe it or not, the Bible has something to say about this. Each week we'll investigate the biblical stance on 'Hot Seat' questions, and discover how we, as believers, can approach God. Topics include: politics, depression, sexuality, and materialism.

Why America's Fang stocks still have some bite
Many fear the growth of the four biggest technology stocks is unsustainable, but others are optimistic
Annabelle Williams
Saturday November 05 2016, 12.01am, The Times
Facebook is one of the world's largest technology stocks
Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google, known as the "Fang" stocks, have made incredible returns for investors. Gains in their share prices range from 150 per cent in five years for Google to 850 per cent for Netflix.
Alongside Apple and a handful of other mega-sized technology companies, the Fangs command a loyal following. It is a dynamic and exciting area, but with impressive growth comes speculation about the future.
"Some of these stocks have had a pause for breath, most notably Google," says Stuart O'Gorman, a fund manager at Henderson Global Investors.
"The worry [in the market] is about the pricing of advertising and the move of users from mobile to video."

Published Date: June 2019 | Report Code : AT2058743
[email protected]hts.com US +1 208 405 2835 UK +44 1444 39 0986 APAC +91 706 672 4848
IOV INTERNET OF VEHICLE MARKET
(IoV) Internet of Vehicle Market, By Component (Hardware, Software, Service), By Technology (Bluetooth, Cellular, Wi-Fi, NFC, Zigbee, Other), By Communication Type (Vehicle-to-Vehicle, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure, Other), By Region (North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & forecasting (2016-2028)
Status : Published June 2019
The Global Internet Of Vehicle Market is estimated to reach USD 289.84 Billion in 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for automation in the automotive industry combined with the increasing use of electric vehicles is expected to fuel the internet of vehicle market during the forecast period.
Internet of Vehicle Market
Vehicle Internet (IoV) enables a vehicle to connect via a cellular network to the surrounding vehicle or other traffic infrastructure. The vehicles transmit floating data to the base area at long stretches through this technology. It enables the user to locate both the car as well as the ones surrounding it. Besides that, the vehicles recognize the adjoining vehicle's speed and distance and manage self-speed accordingly. The internet of vehicle market is facing a lengthy challenge ahead in its pursuit to unify IoV's scope and concepts from different perspectives. Private and government projects around the globe are therefore vital to assist the growth of the internet of vehicle market from a global perspective.
The global internet of vehicle market will generate abundant avenues for vehicles to interact with humans, sensors, and traffic management systems. To do this, however, vehicles of the next generation would require a global vehicle ID, also referred to as GID. The ID provides a gateway to detect and communicate seamlessly with a vehicle. It operates analogously to a computer's IP address. One of the main concerns driving the internet of vehicle market is traffic management and road collision prevention. Given that GIDs are supposed to enhance automobile-secure communication, substantial growth of global internet of vehicle market is expected during the forecast period.
Besides, it is also predicted that Wi-Fi-enabled IoT devices and automobiles will drive the internet of vehicle market during the forecast period. Wi-Fi signals can connect with servers in less than one-tenth of a second. In conjunction with this, Wi-Fi does not necessitate devices to rely on batteries. Therefore, it is expected to be an increase in demand for enabled Wi-Fi devices in the global vehicle market.Similarly, it is projected that demand for IoT devices that transmit signals promptly, limit data loss, and provide access to cost-effective cloud storage which will fuel the growth of IoV internet of vehicle market. In its long journey ahead, the internet of vehicle market also faces issues. It is anticipated that the lack of a holistic view of the big picture, high expenditures linked with IoT devices and innovations, in general, can pose a serious threat to market growth.
North America's internet of vehicle market is anticipated to flourish significantly over the forecast period. Establishing large vendors in the region, heavily investing in research and development and the US government supporting this positively is an ideal environment for the growth of the IoV internet of vehicle market. During the forecast period, the IoV industry in the Asia Pacific is predicted to record promising growth. Increasing automotive sales, growing interest in IoT technologies and a quickly growing IT sector are anticipated to steer the IoV internet of vehicle market in major countries such as India and China. The Middle East is still emerging in global internet of vehicle market.

This year, over a dozen seniors have secured national scholarships to pursue further study after commencement.
As of April 1, Madeline Baird '12, Michael Beechert '16, Rocio Labrador '15, Alex Moushey '16 and Joshua Tupler '16 have all been named as Fulbright Scholars.
Four Dartmouth students — Katherine Crane '16, Dalia McGill '16, Bay Lauris Byrne Sim '15 and Malika Khurana '15 — earned the H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship, which the College awards each year to graduating seniors or recent Dartmouth graduates in fields such as architecture, urban planning and art history.
The College also awarded the James B. Reynolds Scholarship for Foreign Study to nine students: Pascal Croak '16, Ester Cross '15, Jacqueline Donohoe '13, Christopher Fay '16, Saida Makhmudzade '14, Elizabeth Markowitz '16, Maia Salholz-Hillel '15, Alice Wang '16 and Nancy Wu '15. Reynolds Scholarship recipients will be able to study or conduct research in any field in any foreign country with a recognized educational institution and a definite program of study or research approved by the Committee on Graduate Fellowships at Dartmouth.
Other popular scholarship opportunities among students at the College include the Beinecke and Udall Scholarships.
The Beinecke award, which supports the graduate education of "young men and women of exceptional promise," provides award winners $4,000 prior to entering graduate school and an additional $30,000 while they are attending graduate school. Sera Kwon '17 received the award and plans to continue studying social movements with the grant.
JoRee LaFrance '17 and Helen Thomas '18 both received the Udall Scholarship, which awards 50 scholarships of up to $5,000 and 50 honorable mentions to sophomores and juniors interested in careers in the environment, tribal public policy or Native American health care.
LaFrance is a double major in Earth science and Native American studies with a minor in anthropology. A member of the Crow tribe, she wants to learn more about tribal energy and economic policy, especially relating to hydroelectric power, according to the Scholarship Advising office website.
Thomas, a Hunkpapa Lakota, plans to major in economics modified with education and minor in Native American studies and hopes to study impacts of education policy on reservation communities.
Instead of entering the professional world immediately, scholarship recipients will take a more unconventional path, choosing to study, teach and work abroad in various capacities. Next year, the grant recipients will travel to diverse locations around the world, including Malaysia, Germany, Colombia, Australia, Brazil, China and the Dominican Republic.
The College has a longstanding relationship with various scholarship programs. Undergraduates and recent alumni of the College consult the scholarship advising office, led by assistant dean of scholarship advising Jessica Smolin and Fulbright program advisor Kenneth Bauer throughout the application processes. The Committee on Graduate Fellowships, consisting of nine faculty members, endorses students for scholarships.
The Fulbright is one of the most popular scholarships among Dartmouth students, and applicants are notified of their acceptance at different times, depending on the country where they plan to work. The Fulbright Program currently operates in over 160 countries.
The Fulbright Program, the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.
Moushey, a theater and film major pursuing a career in medicine, received a Fulbright teaching position in Malaysia.
The Schwarzman and Yenching Scholarships provide support for international students to live and study in Beijing in preparation for a future as global leaders. Jordyn Turner '16 and Jake Gaba '16 have been named Schwarzman Scholars for this upcoming year and will participate in a one-year master's program at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Turner's interest in China was initially sparked by a project studying comparative media in Asia during high school and her foreign study experience in Beijing. She worked closely with Smolin to prepare her application and supplementary materials as well as conduct mock interviews.
She said that she plans to study public policy in Beijing, which will subsequently prepare her for a career in law.
Gaba said he is excited to pursue international studies. As a computer science modified with studio art major, he said he is passionate about international media. Gaba's interest in studying in China also stems from his experience living in Beijing and studying Mandarin on the Chinese LSA.
The scholarship advising office's largest challenge is recruitment, Smolin said. Dartmouth students are often professionally minded, sometimes viewing scholarships as a detour of sorts. She emphasized that scholarships can fit in well with whatever path a student is interested in taking.
Bauer himself completed a Fulbright 20 years ago, executing a research project focused on how small scale communities develop and adapt to rapidly changing circumstances relating to development projects in Nepal. The experience was completely transformative, Bauer said, and launched much of the work he continues to do today in the region.
Both Smolin and Bauer emphasized that national scholarship opportunities can yield tremendous meaning and value for students.
Bauer said he feels that there is a lot of untapped potential amongst the College student body, many of whom could benefit tremendously from scholarship opportunities.
"I don't think enough people apply, nor do I think that the right people apply," Bauer said.
Moushey is a former member of The Dartmouth staff.


When Hilton first rolled out its corporate responsibility measurement platform in 2009, it was a strategic investment in making smarter use of energy.
With more than 5,500 properties spread across 109 countries and territories, the hospitality company knew embedding energy efficiency into its business strategy would have a measurable impact on reducing emissions and saving money.
All Hilton hotels are required to use LightStay, Hilton's corporate responsibility measurement system, to set annual targets for energy, water and waste usage. The platform measures goal progress, tracks energy use and carbon output.
"If you just look at this from the perspective of running a business, energy is typically a hotel's second-highest operating cost. We're focused on creating innovative solutions to do more with less," says Daniella Foster, Senior Director for Corporate Responsibility, Hilton.
Hilton joined The Climate Group's EP100 initiative during Climate Week NYC 2018 with a commitment to expand its smart energy management system and achieve a 40% energy productivity improvement by 2030, from a 2008 baseline.
In May Hilton announced Travel with Purpose 2030 Goals to cut its environmental footprint in half and double social impact investment by 2030. The company will use LightStay to track its goal of reducing carbon emission by 61% by 2030, a goal approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative, making Hilton the first major hotel company to institute science-based targets.
Since 2008, Hilton has already reduced its energy and water consumption by 20%, and its carbon footprint by 30%.
"If you just look at this from the perspective of running a business, energy is typically a hotel's second-highest operating cost."

The company is one of 38 members of EP100, which, delivered in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy, aims to significantly scale up corporate action on energy productivity. A recent report by the International Energy Agency shows global energy efficiency gains since 2000 prevented 12% more energy use and 12% more greenhouse gas emissions in 2017.
For Hilton, increasing energy efficiency is leading to further benefits. "When we added our smart laundry technology, we discovered hotels use less energy and water," says Foster.
Hilton is also reducing energy with its Connected Room Technology. Using the Hilton Honors app, guests can use their mobile phones as the in-room remote to control the heating, lighting and air condition.
Smart innovations like Connected Room allow individuals to play an active role in saving emissions from Hilton properties, directly responding to growing consumer demand for greater sustainability.
In 2018, Hilton asked guests about their buying preferences. Approximately 1/3 of 72,000 respondents said they research a hotel's social and environmental efforts before booking.
Hilton is part of a growing movement of businesses increasingly taking action. A recent report by EP100 member Johnson Controls shows 59% of organizations plan to increase investment in energy efficiency and smart building technology within the next year. The top five drivers for doing so include energy cost savings, brand reputation and employee retention.
"Lowering energy use right across the private sector is vital if we are to achieve no more than 1.5 degree global warming, so it's encouraging to see large companies like Hilton step up," says Mike Peirce, Corporate Partnerships Director, The Climate Group.

These surveys characterize students' attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs about learning a particular science and contrast that with expert responses. They are typically given pre and post instruction (i.e. given at the start of a term and near the end) to measure the effect of a course on these attitudes.
Originally developed at the University of Colorado (CU) to characterize students' attitudes and beliefs about learning physics, the survey has been adapted for use in chemistry and biology.
Developed at CU as a broadly applicable assessment tool for undergraduate physics lab courses. At the beginning and end of the semester, the E-CLASS is used to characterize students views about their strategies, habits of mind, and attitudes when doing experiments in lab classes.
A survey developed at UBC to characterize students' perceptions and attitudes about learning earth sciences.
A survey developed at UBC to characterize students' attitudes and perceptions about learning mathematics.

The CAS is an extension of the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey and measures novice to expert attitude shifts about the nature of knowledge and problem solving in computer science. It was collaboratively developed by UBC and University of Nebraska Computer Science education researchers.
The Students' Learning Experiences Survey (SLES) was developed by the UBC Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences CWSEI program and deployed in 48 EOAS undergraduate courses taught in fall 2013 and spring 2014 as part of the impact assessment of the CWSEI. Results based on 2489 student respondents in these courses (representing 4871 enrolled students) are reported in "Impact Assessment of a Department-wide Science Education Initiative using Students' Perceptions of Teaching and Learning Experiences" by Francis Jones, in the journal Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02602938.2016.1188057, (preprint available here).
