Senior pay arrangements must command public confidence and deliver value for money for both students and taxpayers.
It should not be the case that vice-chancellors sit on the remuneration committees that set their salary, nor should we be seeing unjustified and excessive pay rises. The draft remuneration code from the Committee of University Chairs, which is currently out for consultation, reiterates the importance of independent and transparent remuneration committees. We encourage all interested parties to respond.
Yesterday, Wednesday 14 February, Education Secretary Damian Hinds visited Spring Nursery in Stockton, where he met children using the centre during half-term. The Secretary of State also met with East Cleveland MP Simon Clarke and spoke with school leaders during his tour of the region.
Earlier in the week, Damian Hinds visited Fylde College in Blackpool, where he met with students at the college’s Nautical Campus. The visits were covered by the Blackpool Gazette and The Northern Echo.

Q: Managed/Crawled Property for Site Collection "TITLE" I am trying to find a managed / crawled property in SP2013 O365 that will give me the actual "name" / site title of the Root Site Collection.  I can get the URL using "SPSiteURL", but is there a correlating value that I can map to one of the refinablestrings?
I'd like to use it as a Refiner to locate specific sites across multiple site collections that a user has permission to view and haven't stumbled upon it.

A: As Vadim mentioned, you cannot create new managed properties in SPO with Refinable option enabled. 
However, you can map the crawled property (ows_SiteName) to an already created Managed Property in SPO (RefinableString00) as shown in the below image:

You can then set an Alias (SiteTitle) to the RefinableString00 property and use it in search just like you would use a normal Managed Property. 
Note that after you have done this mapping, it will take some time for the SPO search to crawl your newly mapped property so the results won't show up immediately.

A: There is a managed property named SiteTitle, but this property is not refinable and therefore it makes it impossible to use in Refinement web part.

From another hand, due to some limitations in SharePoint Online, you can't create a new managed property with Refinable option enabled. 

A: I couldn't find the property either to use in a refinementpanel so I have used the SPSiteURL managed property to get the SiteCollectionUrl and show this.
The SPSiteURL was not 'friendly' enough, because the view would be like:
https://myurl.com/... 
https://myurl.com/...

(URLS were too long)
With a custom display template I have mapped the URLs to friendly names.
If an URL is not available in the mapping, it just shows the url instead.
SharePoint does this technique itself with the FileType Managed Property. So I just tweaked that one a bit.
Create a copy of the normal Refinement item Display template and remove the bits you don't need.
These are the interesting parts for the mapping:        
function mapSiteUrl(refinementName) {
    var map = {};
    map["MySiteName"] = {
        "RefinerName": "SPSiteURL",
        "RefinementValue": "http://MySiteUrl"
    };
    map["MySiteName2"] = {
        "RefinerName": "SPSiteURL",
        "RefinementValue": "http://MySiteUrl2"
    };
    map["MySiteName3"] = {
        "RefinerName": "SPSiteURL",
        "RefinementValue": "http://MySiteUrl3"
    };         

    var mappedRefinementName = null;

    for (var key in map) {
        if (refinementName.toLowerCase() === map[key].RefinementValue.toLowerCase()) {
            mappedRefinementName = key;
            break;
        }
    }
    if ($isNull(mappedRefinementName)) {
        mappedRefinementName = refinementName;
    }
    return mappedRefinementName;
}

var listData = ctx.ListData;
var hasControl = true;
var shortListSize = 5;

if ($isNull(ctx.RefinementControl) || $isNull(ctx.ClientControl)) hasControl = false;

if (ctx.RefinementControl.propertyName == "SPSiteURL") {
    shortListSize = 6;

    for (var i in listData) {
        listData[i].RefinementTokens = [listData[i].RefinementToken];
        listData[i].RefinementName = mapSiteUrl(listData[i].RefinementName);
        listData[i].RefinementTokenWrappedValues = [Srch.RefinementUtil.stringValueToEqualsToken(listData[i].RefinementValue)];            
    }        
}   

Basically what it does is check if the propertyName is SPSiteURL:
if(ctx.RefinementControl.propertyName == "SPSiteURL")

then calls the function to map the friendlynames to the urls:
listData[i].RefinementName = mapSiteUrl(listData[i].RefinementName);

The mapping happens here:
map["MyFriendlyName1"] = {
        "RefinerName": "SPSiteURL",
        "RefinementValue": ["http://myurl.com"]
    };

Just copy and paste it to make more of these mappings.
Then, just pick your new Display Template as an option for the SPSiteURL Managed Property in the web part properties.

A: For the Root Site Collection, it's "SPSiteURL"
SPWebURL is current site URL; SPSiteURL is root tite collection 
I specialized in herpetology in college! They aren't too big of a deal if you get to the doctor fast. I've spent lots of time going on swamp walks and chilling with water moccasins (of all ages, but the babies are the cutest cause they only have fat heads and not fat bodies yet) mere feet away.  Quietly observing them without making threatening moves is the way to go. They really aren't that dangerous, me being so close without them bothering with me proves it, they just have a bad rep that unfortunately gets them killed a lot  :(The examination time takes 15 - 30 minutes to complete and may take longer for difficult examination, depending on body region. During the examination, the radiographer will apply ultrasound gel to the body part needed for imaging, and slide the transducer on it. Patients may need to hold their breath for several seconds or turn around for convenient scanning.
Patients may need to wait before they are called into the procedure room. Reserving time slots for the ultrasound scans are recommended.
Fasting for 6 hours prior to examination, except drinking water.
Please drink a lot of water to have a full bladder 30 minutes prior to the examination.This is going to be my third IBM Connect and second session. Excited!
The session is all about the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK, which has been first announced at Lotusphere 2011. After three years, we will see much more content about it this year.
Since first hearing about the toolkit, I had trouble understanding the value it could provide. There are bunch of open source libraries out there to communicate with any REST-based API, supporting different types of authentication schemes, etc. I tried to understand why and how it differs from my existing tools. The toolkit has been evolving all this time. Now we have a clear picture about the direction it is heading.
The main plot of BP308 will be about the architecture of SBT. We are going to explain why, when and how it is useful in a developer perspective with two comprehensive demos.
The first demo will show how to extend SDK and use it on your application to interact with a cloud-based application other than IBM Social Platform, such as Basecamp. This is a deep dive demo on modeling an integration between different social contexts. The second demo will include an example of extending a traditional Notes application by using SDK capabilities (e.g. Status Updates, Activity Streams, etc.) with minimal changes. We will discuss some different scenerios on integration between business applications and social capabilities. We are also planning to release these demos on OpenNTF later.This course provides the students with a balanced overview of the Chinese economy, with special attention paid to the historical, political and institutional context of each turn in the economic transition.
The topics covered include the history of a modern Chinese economy, the strategies that guided China’s institutional reforms, the transitional process in China’s industrial, agricultural, financial and foreign sectors, as well as the multi-dimensional challenges and emerging opportunities facing China’s future growth.
Theoretical and empirical analyses will be used in combination with scholarly readings to help the students understand China’s development models, economic systems and reform policies.
The content of this course will be delivered through a mix of lectures and class discussions.
Students’ participation is strongly encouraged. Specifically, students
