Natalie Melas, All the Difference in the World: Postcoloniality and the Ends of Comparison Stanford U. Press, 2007
Francophone poet, playwright, intellectual, and politician, Aimé Césaire was a fierce critic of the colonial condition and a modernist trailblazer. Scholar Natalie Melas considers the politics and poetics of the Martiniquan writer, arguably the greatest poet of anticolonialism and decolonization. She discusses Césaire's central involvement in the Négritude movement, his celebrated poem "Notebook of a Return to the Native Land," and his influence on Frantz Fanon.

The Program in Critical Theory at U.C. Berkeley
Where does capitalism stand today? If the system is crisis-ridden and hasn't delivered the goods to large sectors of the population, why aren't we in a revolutionary moment? And what has happened to the neoliberal version of capitalism that first emerged in the 1970s? Albena Azmanova contends that we've entered a new stage of capitalism, one in which a few are handed opportunities and the rest are made to shoulder the risks.
Chris Dixon, Another Politics: Talking Across Today's Transformative Movements UC Press, 2014
Chris Dixon's website
From the shutdown of the WTO in Seattle to the Occupy movement, there's a highly influential current that has shaped how contemporary politics are conceived and organized. Activist and scholar Chris Dixon has delved deeply into anti-authoritarian, anticapitalist, and non-sectarian politics – perhaps the leading orientation for young radicals today. He discusses its vibrancy, as well as the problems that beset it, from strategy and organization to insularity and the assertion that there are no leaders. (Encore presentation.)

A. Philip Randolph famously led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, but he did much more than that. Eric Arnesen traces Randolph's emergence as a militant socialist at a time when few Blacks were attracted to the Socialist Party and its emphasis on class. Arnesen also discusses Randolph's relationship with Eugene Debs and W. E. B. Du Bois.

ATLANTA--Chimpanzees have almost the same personality traits as humans, and they are structured almost identically, according to new work led by researchers at Georgia State University.
The research also shows some of those traits have a neurobiological basis, and that those traits vary according to the biological sex of the individual chimpanzee.
"Our work also demonstrates the promise of using chimpanzee models to investigate the neurobiology of personality processes," said Assistant Professor Robert Latzman of Psychology, who led the research team. "We know that these processes are associated with a variety of emotional health outcomes. We're excited to continue investigating these links."
The team, which also included Professor William Hopkins of Neuroscience, started with a common tool for analyzing chimp personalities called the Chimpanzee Personality Questionnaire.
The questionnaire is filled out by the chimpanzees' caregivers, who rate individual chimps in 43 categories based on their observation of the animals' daily behavior. Is the chimp excitable? Impulsive? Playful? Timid? Dominant? The questionnaire records it all.
The researchers analyzed complete questionnaires for 174 chimpanzees housed at the Yerkes National Primate Center at Emory University. They ran extensive individual analyses to find out which traits tend to go together, and which combine to make more basic, fundamental "meta-traits."
The analysis showed that the most fundamental personality trait for chimpanzees is dominance that is, whether an animal is a generally dominant and undercontrolled "Alpha," or a more playful and sociable "Beta."
But those two big categories can be broken down statistically into smaller personality traits in ways that echo the personality structures researchers have repeatedly found in child and adult human subjects.
Alpha personalities, for example, statistically break down into tenden

Turner Broadcasting System Latin America has launched a new OTT service in Latin America and Brazil, powered by Kaltura's OTT TV platform and IBM's SoftLayer cloud infrastructure.
The service is being offered in Spanish and Portuguese and is available on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. It includes both live TV channels and VOD options. Notably, it is being offered through Turner's pay-TV partners, so it does not appear to be disruptive to the existing ecosystem, but rather a TV Everywhere extension.

I'm pleased to present the 254th edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
As is our custom for the final podcast of the year, today Colin and I discuss our top 10 online video stories of 2014. Needless to say, it was an incredibly busy year for online video, making it quite a challenge to narrow our list to just 10 top stories. If you disagree with any of our choices, then as always, we welcome your feedback.
Stepping back and reviewing the list, I think there's an argument to be made that when observers look back 10-20 years from now, 2014 could well be viewed as the big turning point for online video - the year when all of the critical pieces to online video becoming a completely mainstream experience fell into place. These pieces include viewer acceptance, burgeoning content, robust monetization, wide deployment of connected devices and mobility. At a minimum, buckle up, because the stage has been set for a huge 2015.
Colin and I would like to thank all of our listeners for tuning into our podcast this year, and wish all of you happy holidays!

I'm pleased to present the 253rd edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
Colin gets us started this week, discussing the new CBS-Dish Network deal, highlighting that OTT rights were excluded. This is noteworthy because of Dish's plans to launch a $30/month OTT service soon (dubbed "NuTV"), so it's not clear if or how CBS will fit in (CBS has recently launched its own "All Access" OTT service).
There have been previous reports Dish isn't planning to include broadcast networks in NuTV, instead requiring a surcharge. All of this continues to make me skeptical about NuTV's prospects. Note that even CEO Charlie Ergen has tamped down expectations for NuTV.
We then turn our attention to HBO's decision to outsource its OTT backend to MLBAM, as disclosed by Fortune this week. On Wednesday, I wrote that while MLBAM's solution is first rate, and it's a short-term win for HBO to get to market quickly, I still see the decision as a long-term competitive disadvantage for HBO. In my view, HBO needs to develop its own tech DNA to fully compete with Netflix and other OTT players, particularly in leveraging data, which I believe is the new king. Colin disagrees and thinks HBO made the right call.

Net2TV has announced this morning that its 18 branded OTT programs will be added to ARRIS Market, a platform for cable operators to combine OTT and traditional linear programming. Arris Market was announced this past July, and is powered by Wurl, which offers an API and hosted HTML5 apps. ARRIS has not yet announced any ARRIS Market deployments.
The significance of the news - and the ARRIS' Market initiative in general - is that cable operators are increasingly being presented with options to incorporate access to OTT content into their overall value proposition. This is an opportunity for operators to capitalize on viewers' ongoing shift from linear TV viewing to OTT viewing.

Fortune broke the news yesterday that HBO has chosen to outsource the backend technology for its upcoming standalone OTT service to MLBAM, abandoning its own efforts to build the necessary technology. Just after the story broke, HBO's CTO Otto Berkes announced that he was leaving the company.
No question, MLBAM has a very strong technology solution, which it uses for its own streaming video offering, and it is used by other media companies as well. Still, it's hard not to see HBO's sudden shift as an early sign of the numerous challenges HBO has ahead of it in launching its OTT service (which is reportedly targeted for April, simultaneous with season 5 of "Game of Thrones").

There's no doubt connected TV devices will be one of the hottest gifts this holiday season, as online video continues to evolve from an early adopter desktop behavior to a mainstream living room experience. But even the prices of connected TV devices plunge and consumers' enthusiasm builds, the space continues to be marked by the drip, drip, drip inefficient process of one-off additions of video apps to specific connected TV devices.
In fact, if you follow the market closely, you'll notice that seemingly each week there are a handful of announcements regarding a specific video app (or group of them) becoming available on a certain connected TV device(s). For example, in last week's news, Amazon Instant Video became available on TiVo Roamio/Mini devices, and HBO Go became available on Xbox One.

Video ad tech is a very hot space currently with lots of deals and financings, with the latest being Eyeview, which this morning announced a $15 million financing from existing investor Marker LLC. The new funds bring to $34.5 million the total amount the company has raised.
Eyeview describes itself as "fusing the effectiveness of TV video branding with the efficiencies of digital personalization." It does this by taking a standard TV ad or other video creative and dynamically customizing it to target individual viewers. The customizations can vary by things like specific advertiser offers, geography, viewer behavior, weather conditions, calendar events, etc. Basically any type of trigger that would help to drive engagement and take the video ad experience far beyond what's typical on TV.

"Content is King." No, wait, "Distribution is King." No, wait, "Content and distribution are equals and need to work together." And on the debate has raged for years about what's at the core of the media and entertainment industry's success. Meanwhile, Netflix keeps proving that data is fast becoming the real king, with profound implications for all players in the industry.
The latest evidence of data's ascendance and Netflix's ability to harness it is the company's new 4 movie deal with Adam Sandler. Opinions about Sandler are all over the board, but in a must-read interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix's content head Ted Sarandos neatly summed up why Netflix made such a big commitment to him:
"The more global we become, the more access we have to global behavior data so we can see what people are watching all around the world. Very uniquely, he (Sandler) stands out for his global appeal to Netflix subscribers. Even movies that were soft in the U.S. outperformed dramatically on Netflix in the U.S. and around the world."

The present invention relates generally to analog-to-digital conversion methods and devices, and more particularly to improvements in flash analog-to-digital conversion.
Analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion serves to transform a measured analog quantity to digital form, typically for such purposes as computer processing, digital display, or storage in data memory. Of the many different techniques available for A/D conversion, flash A/D conversion is among the fastest. The flash converter performs a simultaneous comparison that enables generating all of the bits in the binary output in parallel, unlike, for example, a successive approximation A/D converter in which the operation is performed in sequence so that a serial output is obtained running from most significant bit (MSB) to least significant bit (LSB).
Referring to FIG. 1, a typical prior art flash A/D converter 10 includes a resistor string or resistor ladder 12 which consists of a plurality of resistors that are seriesconnected between a positive voltage source (VR +) and a negative voltage source (VR -). In the circuit of FIG. 1, the resistor string is connected between +VREF and circuit ground. At taps between each pair of the resistors a circuit connection is made to the negative input of a respective comparator of a plurality of operational amplifier comparators 15 numbering one less than the number of resistors in the string, the string thus constituting a resistive voltage-divider circuit. The negative input to each comparator is therefore a reference voltage whose value depends on the position or connection of the respective comparator in the resistor string.
In general, the number of comparators required for conversion to an n-bit binary code is equal to 2n -1, i.e., 2n -1 intermediate states exist for 2n binary states, and for every intermediate state there is an associated comparator which must be used for evaluation of the analog quantity. Thus, an 8-bit flash A/D converter offers extremely fast conversion time, but requires 28 -1=256-1=255 comparators, which represents a considerable challenge in implementation from the standpoint of device size. In the flash A/D converter 10 depicted in FIG. 1, n=3 so that only 8-1=7 comparators are needed.
The positive input to each comparator is the analog input voltage to be converted to digital format, and is common to each of the comparators. When the analog input voltage exceeds the reference voltage for a particular comparator the comparator will generate a high. The output of each of the comparators 15, representing the eight bits to be converted, is connected to a respective input of a binary encoder 17, according to the position of the comparator along the resistive divider. Thus, comparator 18, which is positioned in the voltage divider circuit to receive the largest percentage of reference voltage +VREF relative to the other comparators, is connected to input 7 of encoder 17, while comparator 20, which has the smallest percentage of the reference voltage applied to it, is connected to input 1 of encoder 17.
Encoder 17 is a "priority" encoder, so-called because its parallel 3-bit binary output code is determined by the highest order input that is a high (i.e., a "1"). For example, if the analog input voltage exceeds the reference voltage at comparator 21 but not at any comparator above 21 on the resistive divider at the time a sampling pulse is applied to the enable input EN of encoder 17, then comparator 21 and every comparator below 21 on the resistive divider will generate a high. But no comparator above 21 will go high. In this example, then, encoder 17 will generate a binary code of 101 (i.e., equal to 5 in the decimal system), because the 5 input attributable to comparator 21 is the highest order input with a high output.
Not only is the A/D conversion of the flash converter extremely fast, but an analog signal can be converted to digital format with relatively high resolution if the sampling rate is high. These advantages tend to offset to some degree the disadvantage of the large number of comparators required for a high accuracy readout. But the device suffers from another significant drawback, namely, its relatively heavy power consumption with the multiplicity of comparators and encoder which are typically implemented on a semiconductor integrated circuit chip, for which low power dissipation is the desired status.
It is therefore a principal aim of the present invention to provide a flash A/D converter that affords considerable power saving over converters of that type heretofore available.
The invention resides in an intelligent flash A/D converter. As observed above, the conventional flash A/D converter comprises as many comparators as there are intermediate states for the particular number of binary states of the A/D. According to the invention, the comparator outputs are employed in a novel manner to turn on and off neighboring comparators at a transition point between active and inactive devices, in the sense of comparators which affect or do not affect the encoder output on conversion sampling, so as to conserve power consumption of the device.
As with the conventional flash A/D converter, tap points on a resistor string between voltages VREF + and VREF -, are respectively coupled as one input to each of a plurality of comparators equal in number to the number of intermediate states of the converter (one less than 2n, where n is the number of bits for conversion). All comparators also have a second, common analog input voltage VIN. But the invention differs from the conventional flash A/D converter, based on a recognition that the only comparators of interest along the string during any given sampling interval are those at the precise transition point where output differences exist when the analog input voltage is being sampled, i.e., where the outputs are distinguished by a transition between binary 1's and 0's. This transition can occur at only one pair of adjacent comparators, which is the transition or trip point. And when that point is established, only one or two, or a few at most, of the comparators at and about that point are allowed to remain on or active, while the other comparators are turned off or made inactive. om The continual turning on and off of at least some of the comparators along the resistor string as the analog input voltage undergoes rapid variation and relatively frequent sampling for the A/D conversion reduces circuit speed relative to a conventional flash A/D converter. Also, although its data output rate is still fast, the maximum change for the input voltage to the circuit is limited to the asynchronous tracking rate of the comparators and associated logic. These disadvantages are offset, however, by the power savings offered by the circuit relative to the power dissipation in a conventional flash A/D converter circuit. Typically, the power consumption of the conventional circuit is about 10 microamps (μA) per comparator, which is 10 μA�255 comparators=2.55 milliamps (mA) for an 8-bit converter. Since only a few comparators need be turned on at any given time in the flash circuit of the invention, perhaps only four or even two (although on some occasions more may be operating), much less power is consumed. For example, if four comparators are operating at 10 μA per comparator, the power consumption is only 40 μA.
The converter circuit of the invention may be used in semiconductor microcontroller devices, for example. However, the somewhat long, thin converter layout may not be as convenient as other converters for that application. Preferred applications are in stand-alone product situations in which flash A/D converters are commonly used, such as digitizing audio (particularly voice) frequencies in digital signal processing (DSP) functions, to filter out undesired components of the input signal. Flash A/D converters are sufficiently fast to provide real-time filtering and signal digitizing (such as in oscilloscopes), whereas other approaches such as successive approximation register (SAR) A/D devices are suitable for lower frequency applications since they are slower by the number of bits which must be serially determined, as well as track and hold time, if any.
Accordingly, it is a further important objective of the invention to provide a flash A/D converter in which only the comparator(s) at the transition point that determines the conversion value for the analog input signal being sampled are allowed to remain active, and all other comparators of the converter are shut down, to conserve power.
The above and still further aims, objects, aspects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description of the best mode currently contemplated for practicing the invention, encompassed by certain preferred methods and embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of a prior art flash A/D converter, discussed above;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a presently preferred embodiment of a flash A/D converter according to the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrative of a method according to the invention.
According to the invention, a power saving flash A/D converter is provided which is effective to determine, during any given sampling time, those components or circuit portions which are appropriate to be powered on and those which may be powered off without substantial deleterious effect on circuit operation. Since only one or a limited number of comparators of the converter device have any significance during a particular analog input voltage sampling event, being the comparator(s) located at the transition or trip point which determines the digital value for that sample, only those comparators need be operational to provide an A/D conversion at that time.
In the conventional flash A/D converter of FIG. 1, each of the multiplicity of comparators 15 compares its own individual inverting input voltage from the respective tap taken along the resistor string 12 between VREFHIGH and VREFLOW (in FIG. 1, the latter being ground potential) at the two ends of the string, to the common analog input voltage VIN applied to all of the comparators, on each sampling occasion. If analog input voltage VIN exceeds the individual inverting voltage of the respective comparator (e.g., 21) along the string at a sampling event, but is less than the inverting voltage for any comparator which is higher than 21 in the string, then the output of comparator 21 is a 1 and is determinative of the binary output of encoder 17, since the outputs of all higher comparators (e.g., 22 and above) is a 0. Although each comparator below comparator 21 along resistor string 12 also has an output of 1 during that sample (because the sampled analog voltage is higher than its respective inverting voltage), encoder 17 responds only to the highest-order input (output of comparator 21) which is a 1. This is the trip point.
Now assume that converter 10 is an 8-bit flash A/D converter, so that the number of comparators is 28 -1=255 along the resistor string. In that case, with the transition point at the junction between comparator 21 and comparator 22, an 8-bit parallel binary output code will be derived, but in the process all 255 comparators are on at the same time because in this conventional layout, the analog input voltage VIN is continuously sampled for comparison with a respective reference voltage by each comparator at each tap point along the resistor string. Here again, the transition or trip point where a difference exists, i.e., the point between the comparator which has a 1 output and the comparator which has a 0 output, is the only true point of interest. The same would be true regardless of the number of bits in the flash A/D converter.
Referring now to FIG. 2, assume, for example, that the analog input voltage VIN first exceeds the reference voltage (relative to the upper end of the resistor string) at a tap point 32 which is near the top of the resistive-divider string, at a time when a sampling pulse is applied to the enable input of the priority encoder 35. A logic circuit 37 is coupled to receive the outputs of a plurality of consecutive comparators, which may be all or a portion of the comparators in the converter--for example, a group of four comparators designated 38, 39, 40, and 41. Circuit 37 comprises logic which detects the point of transition between binary states, and in response, enables two comparators above and two comparators below the trip point. The same logic circuit serves to disable the comparators away from the trip point. It will be appreciated that only the comparators immediately above and below the trip point, or several comparators above and several comparators below the trip point, but considerably less than all of the comparators of the converter, may be enabled, and the rest disabled. To that end, logic circuit 37 supplies an enable input 45 to the preselected number of comparators above and below the trip point (in this example, 38 and 39 above, and 40 and 41 below), and a disable input 46 to each of the other comparators in the flash A/D converter. Alternatively, the converter may be adapted to go through the comparators in asynchronous fashion to individually shut off (i.e., power down) those that are inactive at any given moment.
As a consequence of the disabled output state of all comparators except those which are truly significant for any given sample--those being the comparators immediately at or about the trip point--, the conversion is focused on the principal region of interest and the power dissipation is markedly reduced in the overall converter during each sampling interval. In general, the trip point may and typically will change for each sample, but the operation will continue in an analogous fashion, with the trip point detected and the comparators at or about that point then being the only ones enabled.
From the foregoing, it will be understood that a method of flash A/D conversion is performed in an n-bit converter using a resistive-divider string in which tap points are taken between each pair of adjacent resistors of the string as one input to each of a respective plurality of 2n -1 comparators. Each of the comparators has a second input in common with all of the other comparators at which an analog input voltage to be converted to digital form is applied. A transition point occurs at one of the tap points at which a comparator having that tap point has an output of one binary bit and an immediately adjacent comparator has an output of an opposite binary bit upon taking a sample of the analog input voltage. This is indicative that the transition point is where the highest-order output representative of the analog input voltage exceeding the reference voltage occurs.
Referring to FIG. 3, the method includes detecting the transition point during one of the samples, as being located within a preselected number of consecutive comparators (e.g., two, four, six, etc.) considerably less than the number of comparators in the converter, and then powering down all of the other comparators in the converter, during the sample. For the next sample, if no change in analog input voltage has taken place, the transition point of the comparators remains the same. But if the analog input voltage has undergone a change in level since the last sample, the location of the new trip point is detected and all of the comparators are disabled except those located at or about the new trip point.
The location of the new trip point resulting from the change in location of the transition in binary state in consecutive samples is detected by use of an appropriate logic rule for each multiplicity of groups of comparators of the preselected number. For example, a gating function may be used to accept plural inputs equal to the number of comparators in each group, and to discern a difference in binary output of adjacent units in the group.
By virtue of the operation of the circuit of the present invention, the active comparators of the converter differ, i.e., appear to undergo movement, with each change in the analog input signal voltage. Because all of the comparators are not on at all times, the circuit is is actually performing a pseudo-flash conversion. Nevertheless, the A/D conversion of the analog signal is achieved at relatively high speed, although a true flash A/D converter is somewhat faster than the psuedo flash converter of the invention.
If the analog input voltage VIN is undergoing wide fluctuation, it may be desirable to perform a sample and hold operation for each sample. An example of such a situation is where the input voltage is derived from an audio signal that ranges from say, 300 Hz to 30 Khz. In that case, it is preferable that the analog input voltage be sampled more frequently for conversion to a digital form. For such an application, although the flash A/D converter concept is very convenient because it allows rapid sampling of the input, its efficiency is somewhat degraded by a need for more frequent and increased search time to effect a conversion. It is not necessary to perform a sample and hold if catch-up time is allowable, such as with battery recharging systems. There, the system is turned on, allowed to track through the resistive-divider string to find the input voltage value, and thereafter to simply track in a manner similar to that of a sigma-delta converter. For the latter, several cycles may pass before the system catches up to the input voltage, but once that occurs, tracking is very efficient.
To provide further efficiency in tracking a widely fluctuating voltage, a set of eight, sixteen, or more consecutive devices may be tested (for detection of the trip point) at the same time, and simultaneously at each end of the resistor string. Since the testing may be performed in a continuous asynchronous manner up and down the string, it is not necessary that a clock be involved in such an operation. For any number of comparators in a group, a logic circuit with the same even number of inputs may be used for detecting the trip point.
Preferably, the pseudo-flash converter of the invention is used in a system in which the input voltage is tracked continuously for greater efficiency. This avoids the need for conducting a search with each sampling of VIN, as opposed to a multiplexed input system. In circumstances of a slowly varying input voltage, the comparators and their associated logic are capable of tracking its movement in an asynchronous manner, without need for special search techniques.
Thus, the invention is preferred for applications in which changes in input voltage level are not likely to occur rapidly, such as in temperature sensing, pressure sensing, voice communications, voice recognition systems, and so forth. The overall device not only possesses the capability to continuously track an input voltage at high speed and to effect the desired A/D conversion, but to do so with very low power consumption. As long as the input voltage moves at a rate slower than the tracking rate, the pseudo-flash converter of the invention produces virtually instantaneous continual conversion.
Although a best mode currently contemplated for practicing the invention has been described herein, in conjunction with certain preferred methods and embodiments, it will be recognized by those skilled in the relevant art that variations and modifications of the disclosed methods and embodiments may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the comparator outputs may be decoded by use of a scheme other than a priority encoder, such as forcing the outputs of the disabled comparators to a "regional" state. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention shall be limited only by the appended claims and the rules and principles of the applicable law.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major source of late posttransplant mortality. Although numerous cell types are implicated in the pathogenesis of CAV, it is unclear which cells actually induce the vascular damage that results in intimal proliferation. Because macrophages are abundant in CAV lesions and are capable of producing growth factors implicated in neointimal proliferation, they are leading end-effector candidates. Macrophages were depleted in a murine heterotopic cardiac transplant system known to develop fulminant CAV lesions. C57BL/6 hearts were transplanted into (C57BL/6 × BALB/c)F1 recipients, which then received anti-macrophage therapy with intraperitoneal carrageenan or i.v. gadolinium. Intraperitoneal carrageenan treatment depleted macrophages by 30–80% with minimal effects upon T, B or NK cells as confirmed by flow cytometry and NK cytotoxicity assays. Carrageenan treatment led to a 70% reduction in the development of CAV, as compared to mock-treated controls (p = 0.01), which correlated with the degree of macrophage depletion. Inhibition of macrophage phagocytosis alone with gadolinium failed to prevent CAV. Macrophages may represent the end-effector cells in a final common pathway towards CAV independent of T-cell or B-cell alloreactivity and exert their injurious effects through mechanisms related to cytokine/growth factor production rather than phagocytosis.

They wanted to see if you could talk to Partners under pressure and if you were a good candidate.
Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Deloitte (New York, NY) in March 2015.
I first sent my resume to an employee of Deloitte that I knew. He then sent my resume to a recruiter who then passed it along to another recruiter. After about a couple of weeks I received an email to have a phone interview with the a Director and Senior Manager. About 2 weeks later I received an email to come down to the office for 2nd round interviews. I went to the office 2 weeks later and interviewed with a Senior Manager and Manager. Overall, with all the interviews I was asked mostly behavioral questions. With the first interview I had, I ended up having a lot of time to ask questions so its extremely important to be prepared.

I applied through college or university. The process took 10+ months. I interviewed at Deloitte.
Mostly on-campus recruiting. I went to many events, career fairs, and dinners over about 10 months (Jan - October when I got my offer). I also interviewed with Deloitte for their Summer Leadership program in the Spring. It was all about getting to know as many people as I could so I knew I would be a good fit at the firm.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte in February 2015.
Applied through college recruiting for S&O internship. First round was a 30 minute case interview and a 30 minute behavioral interview. Very standard behavioral questions and a pretty straightforward case. Second round was the next day on campus: one hour long case interview with 2 interviewers. More difficult and pretty complex math.

Panel discussions in the morning will focus on current and projected capabilities and deployment
costs for different broadband technologies and how such capabilities and costs may impact the
implementation of the Connect America Fund. The afternoon panel will focus on targeting

Meydani and colleagues view nutrition intervention as a potential strategy for curbing metabolic risk in Latin America. "Presently, there are about 59 million Latin American and Caribbean men and women over the age of 60 and the United Nations predicts the population will reach 101 billion by 2025," Meydani says. "Medical resources are minimal in developing countries and those that are in place are usually not directed toward older adults. Nutrition interventions, such as encouraging older adults to consume more nutrient dense foods, for example, locally grown produce, could reduce the strain on the health care system."

The SanDisk Ultra Android microSDHC/microSDXC card's Class 10 speed rating makes it ideal for shooting Full HD2 video. The increased transfer speed (up to 30MB/s**) provides faster app loading times and app performance on your mobile device. With capacities up to 128GB1, the SanDisk Mobile Ultra product line offers cards with plenty of space for videos, photos, music and more.
The SanDisk Ultra microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card is UHS-I and Class 10 enabled for Full HD2 video recording on your mobile phone or tablet. With transfer speeds of up to 30MB/s**, the card lets you move more files in less time between your PC and your smartphone or tablet.
With the SanDisk Ultra microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card, you can add more storage to your smartphone or tablet and enjoy all the videos, photos and music you love. The card comes in capacities of 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB1.
The SanDisk Ultra microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card includes an SD adapter, making it easy to sync your smartphone or tablet with your PC. To transfer files, simply insert the microSDHC/microSDXC memory card into the SD adapter, and then insert the adapter into your PC's SD card slot.
SanDisk designed its microSDHC/microSDXC memory cards to withstand harsh operating conditions. The cards are waterproof and tested to withstand up to 72 hours in salt or fresh water to a depth of 1 meter. They are also vibration proof and can withstand up to 500Gs of shock. Additionally, the cards are magnet proof and X-ray proof, so they won't be affected by an airport's X-ray machine. The cards are also designed to perform from -25 to 85 degrees Celsius, so whether you're in the desert or the Arctic tundra, you'll get the shots you want.
The SanDisk Ultra microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card works with any device that has a microSD card slot. Not all devices support microSDHC/microSDXC cards. Check with your device manufacturer for details. The card measures 0.43 by 0.59 by 0.31 inches (H x W x D). The adapter measures 1.41 by 1.67 by 0.14 inches (H x W x D).
Choosing the right capacity very much depends on the type of file you want to store. Full HD2 videos, for instance, take up much more room than a simple snapshot. Music files vary in size depending on the format they're saved in. To help you make the right selection, this matrix uses typical file sizes to illustrate how much each capacity is likely to store.
11GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. Actual user storage less.
2Compatible device required. Full HD (1920x1080) video support may vary based on host device, file size, resolution, compression, bit rate, content and other factors.
*Ordinary cards up to 5MB/s write speed. 1MB=1,000,000 bytes.
**Up to 30MB/s read speed. Write speed lower. Based on internal testing; performance may be lower depending on host device. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes.
^Approximations: results will vary based on file size, resolution, compression, bit rate, content, host device, pre-loaded files and other factors.
