  • We Can Go Anywhere': Understanding Independence Through a Case Study
    ‘We can go anywhere’: Understanding independence through a case study of ride-hailing use by people with visual impairments in metropolitan India VAISHNAV KAMESWARAN, University of Michigan JATIN GUPTA, University of Michigan JOYOJEET PAL, University of Michigan SILE O’MODHRAIN, University of Michigan TIFFANY C. VEINOT, University of Michigan ROBIN N. BREWER, University of Michigan AAKANKSHA PARAMESHWAR, University of Michigan VIDHYA Y, Microsoft Research India JACKI O’NEILL, Microsoft Research India Ride-hailing services have received attention as part of the growing work around the sharing economy, but the focus of these studies has largely been on drivers. In this paper, we examine how ride-hailing is transforming the transportation practices of one group of passengers - people with visual impairments in metropolitan India. Through a qualitative study consisting of interviews and observations, we examined the use and impact of these services on our target population, who otherwise contend with chaotic, unreliable, and largely inaccessible modes of transportation. We found that ride-hailing services positively affects participants’ notions of independence, and we tease out how independence for our participants is not just about ‘doing things alone, without help’ but is also situated, social and relative. Furthermore, we show how accessibility, in the case of ride-hailing in India, is a socio-technical and collaborative achievement, involving interactions between the passenger, the driver, and the technology.

  • Naperville Jaycees' Last Fling Offers National and Local Musical Acts On
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 7, 2019 Contact: Karen Coleman 630.362.6683 [email protected] Naperville Jaycees’ Last Fling Offers National and Local Musical Acts on Two Stages! Naperville, IL – The Naperville Jaycees is proud to announce their full musical lineup for the Main Stage and Jackson Avenue Block Party Stage for the 2019 Last Fling. The Last Fling takes place all along the Riverwalk in Downtown Naperville over all 4 days of Labor Day weekend. “This year’s event will feel a lot more like your typical music festival. We decided to open the Main Stage gates earlier than most previous years to give patrons an opportunity to enjoy music throughout the day and allow them to come and go as they please. I really feel as if we have a solid line up this year and I hope that the community will come out, have some fun and help raise some money with us at the 2019 Last Fling,” says Entertainment Co-Chair Danielle Tufano. 2019 Main Stage Acts: The Last Fling Main Stage will start rocking on Friday night (August 30) with headliner Better Than Ezra. Before their omnipresent 1995 single “Good” hit No. 1, before their debut album Deluxe went double-platinum, before popular shows such as Desperate Housewives licensed their song “Juicy,” before Taylor Swift attested to their timeless appeal by covering their track “Breathless” — New Orleans’ Better Than Ezra was a pop-rock act paying its dues, traveling from town to town in a ramshackle van. Over two decades after the band formed, that vigilance still resonates strongly with the trio, who were finally rewarded after seven years of stubbornly chasing their dreams.

  • Jon Bon Jovi
    Jon Bon Jovi Jon Bon Jovi is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and actor, best known as the lead singer and founder of Bon Jovi. Throughout his career, he has released two solo albums and eleven studio albums with his band which have sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Jon Bon Jovi was born John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. in Perth Amboy, New Jersey the son of two former Marines, barber John Francis Bongiovi, Sr. and florist Carol Sharkey. He has two brothers, Anthony and Matthew. His father was of Sicilian and Slovak ancestry and his mother was of German and Russian descent. He has stated that he is a blood relative of Frank Sinatra. He spent summers in Erie, Pennsylvania, with his grandparents as a newspaper salesman. As a child, Bon Jovi attended St. Joseph High School, in Metuchen, New Jersey, during his freshman and sophomore years. He later transferred to Sayreville War Memorial High School in Parlin, New Jersey. // 1 / 9 Jon Bon Jovi Bon Jovi spent most of his adolescence bunking school to opt for music activities instead, and ended up playing in local bands with friends and his cousin Tony Bongiovi, who owned the then famous New York recording studio, The Power Station. As a result, his academic records displayed less than spectacular achievements and poor grades. By the time he was 16, Bon Jovi was playing clubs. It was not long before he hooked up with keyboardist David Bryan (real name: David Bryan Rashbaum), who played with him in a ten-piece rhythm and blues band called Atlantic City Expressway.

  • Optimizing Social Welfare for Myopic Multi-Armed Bandits
    Noble Deceit: Optimizing Social Welfare for Myopic Multi-Armed Bandits SUBMISSION #553 In the information economy, consumer-generated information greatly informs the decisions of future consumers. However, myopic consumers seek to maximize their own reward with no regard for the information they generate. By controlling the consumers’ access to information, a central planner can incentivize them to produce more valuable information for future consumers. The myopic multi-armed bandit problem is a simple model encapsulating these issues. In this paper, we construct a simple incentive-compatible mechanism achieving constant regret for the problem. We use the novel idea of completing phases to selectively reveal information towards the goal of maximizing social welfare. Moreover, we characterize the distributions for which an incentive-compatible mechanism can achieve the first-best outcome and show that our general mechanism achieves first-best in such settings. Manuscript submitted for review to the 22nd ACM Conference on Economics & Computation (EC'21). 1 INTRODUCTION Submission #553 1 With society’s deeper integration with technology, information generated by con- sumers has become an incredibly valuable commodity. Entire industries solely exist to compile and distribute this information effectively. Some of this information, such as product ratings or traffic reports, is critical for informing a consumer’s decisions. For example, an agent may wish to buy the best phone case from an online retailer. With- out accurate product ratings, an agent might purchase a low-quality item. However, if every agent were to simply purchase the highest rated product, alternate options would never get explored and the truly best product might never be discovered.
