In today’s day and age, many businesses are now creating their own Android app and in fact, there are lots of reasons why you should invest in this kind of app. However, if your business is not using any app it means you’re losing the majority of your customers.
On the other hand, most business owners prefer to develop their app on Android platform simply because Android apps will be able to increase their revenues as well as attain great business growth.
Android is an open source and free platform. It also offers complete software stack such as key mobile applications, operating system, and middleware. Aside from its performance, speed, and scalability, Android application development is also beneficial for your business.
Either way, let us now discuss the advantages of Android application development.
1. Low Investment Higher Return on Investment or ROI
As what we have mentioned a while ago, Android is a free and open source platform. Not only that, the SDK or software development kit that is being used is also free. However, you can also consider hiring an Android app development company, because the majority of these companies provide services at a very affordable price.
The development cost, on the other hand, is divided into three categories, development, testing, as well as deployment. For application distribution, Android apps development company is required to pay a registration. After which, they can now build and run the app on their devices, as a result, you will be able to increased interaction between users. In the end, users will get an interactive and excellent Android app while you as the business owner will acquire higher ROI.
2. Easy Customization
The Android platform provides versatility by means of easy customization preferences which is useful in rapid Android app development, as a result, Android app developers are allowed to develop apps with various functionalities. Whether it’s a web application integration or multifaceted technical customization, this platform can offer plenty of space for implementing customizations.
Most importantly, this platform is specifically designed to handle the changing requirements of every business. Either way, it provides flexibility to incorporate data management functions, as well as multimedia and communication tools that have easy updates.
3. Several Sales Channels
Unlike other platforms that are used in developing mobile apps, Android apps can be deployed in various ways. You don’t have to rely on just a particular market to hand out your applications. In addition to using other third-party application marketplaces and Google Play Store, as the app owner, you are allowed to make your own sales and distribution channels.
You build and publish it. On the other hand, with the advertising strategy, you will be able to reach thousands or even millions of users by means of multiple channels.
4. Easy to Take on
The majority of Android applications are written on Java that pulls a rich collection of libraries. Android aApp developers are very familiar with this programming language, as a result, they will be able to build apps with ease. As a matter of fact, it is stated in a certain survey, that Java professionals find that writing in the said programming language is easier compared to other programming languages.
5. Open Source
The best thing about Android community is that offers open source platform as well as the best technology platform. It also offers an opportunity for the upcoming growths of Android application development. For this reason, the majority of wireless operators and handset manufacturers get fascinated by the Android platform. This results in a faster development of phones that are Android based and better chances for developers.
Conclusion:
Are you looking for an easy way on how to pull Android app development benefits for your enterprise or business, but unluckily you don’t know where to begin? If so, we hope this article will help you a lot as well as enlighten your mind how great an Android application development is.
Either way, if you are planning to hire an Android app development company HokuApps is worth trying for. As a matter of fact, this Singapore-based company will surely help you to organize and build the needed Android mobile app solution for your business.

I thought you might like to see what North Hertfordshire District Council considers to be good planning and design.
Where once there were nine three-bedroomed family-sized homes with mature gardens, 30 garages available to rent (in an area where on-road parking is severely restricted) and the smallest builder's yard in the universe, there are now 78 apartments and houses. The houses in the photo above are some of the so-called "social housing". The rest of the development is behind these houses.

We are no longer the same women as we were last year. We have changed in 1 year, or even made 10 yearsâ worth of improvement!â says Ghuncha Gul. âIf there was no greenhouse we would not have achieved this change.â
In their village in Injil district, Ghuncha Gul and her fellow women are bringing change to their village and contributing to economic development in Afghanistan.
âIt may be just a small greenhouse, but our ingenuity and dreams have no limit," she adds.
To diversify livelihoods and improve womenâs economic freedom, UNDP has implemented several other projects in Herat districts. These include: 6 raisin houses, 10 greenhouses, 1 apiary, and kitchen gardens for 30 women.
UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP), is a five-year project, made possible by the Global Environment Facility Least Developed Countries Fund. Over the next three years, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, UNDP will implement more than 100 livelihoods projects, including building more greenhouses and training farmers on food processing and food storage, as well as protecting 800 hectares of land from flooding, irrigate 4,000 hectares of agricultural land and repairing 30 canals.
Other UNDP environment projects are helping people adapt and find jobs in the face of climate change, bringing clean power to rural areas, preparing for natural disasters, establishing and protecting national parks, and conserving biodiversity for future generations

Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkəm/)[3] is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology.[4] The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two most commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale (the common dandelion) and T. erythrospermum (the red-seeded dandelion), were introduced from Europe into North America, where they now propagate as wildflowers.[5] Both species are edible in their entirety.[6] The common name dandelion (/ˈdændəlaɪ.ən/ DAN-də-ly-ən; from French dent-de-lion 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus.
Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance, along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators.[7] Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[8]
In general, the leaves are 50–250 mm (2–10 in) long or longer, simple, lobed-to-pinnatisect, and form a basal rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange coloured, and are open in the daytime, but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that is usually leafless and rises 10–100 mm (3⁄8–3+7⁄8 in) or more[5] above the leaves. Stems and leaves exude a white, milky latex when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 20–50 mm (3⁄4–2 in) in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into spherical seed heads sometimes called blowballs[9] or clocks (in both British and American English)[10][11][12][13] containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hair-like material which enables wind-aided dispersal over long distances.[citation needed]
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse. The outer bracts are often reflexed downward, but remain appressed in plants of the sections Palustria and Spectabilia. Between the pappus and the achene is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute.[citation needed]
Description
These are individual pollen grains of the dandelion - Taraxacum officinale.
Segment of pappus fiber showing barbs
The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted, perennial, herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. The genus contains many species, which usually (or in the case of triploids, obligately) reproduce by apomixis, resulting in many local populations and endemism. In the British Isles alone, 234 microspecies (i.e. morphologically distinct clonal populations) are recognised in nine loosely defined sections, of which 40 are "probably endemic".[14] A number of species of Taraxacum are seed-dispersed ruderals that rapidly colonize disturbed soil, especially the common dandelion (T. officinale), which has been introduced over much of the temperate world. After flowering is finished, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two. The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ball opens into a full sphere. When development is complete, the mature seeds are attached to white, fluffy "parachutes" which easily detach from the seedhead and glide by wind, dispersing.
The seeds are able to cover large distances when dispersed due to the unique morphology of the pappus which works to create a unique type of vortex ring[15][16] that stays attached to the seed rather than being sent downstream. In addition to the creation of this vortex ring, the pappus can adjust its morphology depending on the moisture in the air. This allows the plume of seeds to close up and reduce the chance to separate from the stem, waiting for optimal conditions that will maximize dispersal and germination.[17][18] Wikipedia

The history of the WU
Foundation
The Vienna University of Economics was over 100 years ago, on 1 October 1898, founded in the former Palais Festetics. Today we would this training center probably call "College of exports". But even then they had a sounding name for the new institution of higher learning ready, namely "k.k. Export Academy". This should provide a comprehensive education for the commercial activity in foreign trade. Were taught in a one-year preparatory course and two following vintages, quite modern looking subjects: foreign languages, economics, some commercial subjects, economic geography, public law, private law, merchandise knowledge.
The University of World Trade
Since the building soon proved to be too small in the mountain street (Berggasse
), it was decided the construction of a new building at the edge of the park Waehringer (Währingerpark) already before the outbreak of the First World War. In 1916 could be moved to the new place to stay. Even in the monarchy, there have been efforts to grant the Export Academy legally the rank of university.
Immediately after the end of the war and the founding of the Republic, it was done: in 1919 it was transformed into the State "University of World Trade", now with sechssemestriger (six semester) study period. The first two terms were mainly devoted to commercial scientific preparation, the following four served to the thorough training for international trade and banking business - with the disciplines of economics, law and business studies. The graduate/inn/s (male and female ones!) were awarded the academic degree of Diplom businessman (businesswoman). The right to award doctorates (Doctor of Commercial Science) received the university after long efforts in 1930, which immediately impinged on an increase in the number of Inskribierenden (matriculated students).
The time from 1939
Even the World Trade University was not spared by the Nazi regime. Immediately after the connection to the German Reich, German laws and regulations were introduced. Especially the "non-Aryan listener (male and female ones)" were affected. They had to leave the university immediately. Also, all teachers who represented a different political opinion or were "non-Aryans", were not allowed to teach at the university. Instead of eliminated teachers came professors from German universities, but also scientists from Austria loyal to the regime were appointed to the faculty.
From the winter semester 1939 there was a separate German study regulation. Under the new curriculum the study lasted six semesters now, in this period, however, you had to complete only one diploma. This was composed of General and Special Business Administration, Economics, Law, and an elective. The during the war acquired academic titles were recognized even after the Nazi period.
After the end of the "German Reich" the faculty of the University of Economics was greatly reduced. Not less than 60 Professor/inn/s (m/f), Assistant/inn/s (m/f), lecturers and civil servants/officials had to resign in the course of "denazification", and the previously appointed professors from Germany/inn/s (m/f) went back.
Reintroduction of the Austrian study regulations from 1946/4
With winter semester 1946/47, they returned to the old Austrian study order with numerous test subjects. Especially had again become mandatory to attend two foreign languages, which during the war was based on a voluntary basis. By the students but the curriculum of the "German Reich" was preferred because this was easier.
From 1948 the college again obtained additional professorships and research institutes. It took until 1966 before the World Trade University as the only academic training ground for business economists got domestic competition. In the same year, as the "old-style grand coalition" came to an end, social science and economics degree programs have been established by academic reform in several Austrian universities. From then on the World Trade University oversaw four disciplines: the scientific trade, which in respect for tradition continued only at the "World Trade" to be established, and moreover, the business economical, the economical and educational economic study. The now eight-semester degree program graduated with a master's, doctoral studies with the doctor of social sciences and economics. The third change of name of the university happend in the course of the Universitätsneuorganisation (reorganization of the university) 1975. The "University of Economics" has been renamed "Vienna University of Economics".
Rapid increase in student numbers
For more than two decades, dominates the rapid increase in the number of students the fate of the Austrian Universities in general and of the reorganized Vienna University of Economics in particular. The thereby occuring space problem let tackle the plan of the construction of an additional building. Intended extensions to the old World Trade buildings had rapidly proved inadequate.
Finally, the now WU (Wirtschaftsuniversität) moved into a new building that was built above the freight station of the Vienna Franz Josef station (Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof), in the University Center Althanstraße. The new building provided the "Board of Trustees to promote the Vienna University of Economics", that club, who had built the old building on Währingerpark. The new university complex will be transferred to its ownership by the end of the lease between trustees and federation.
Since the building was designed for 9,000 students, but there were already 9,863 at the moving in, homes for academic units had to be rented after completion again. In the nineties, the number of student/inn/s (male and female ones) stabilized at more than 20,000. Does one include the teaching and administrative staff as well as the extraordinary listener (m/f), are now to count in the building of the Vienna University of Economics up to 25,000 people.
Legislative amendment and curriculum reform
In 1997, the implementation of the new University Organisation Act (UOG '93) brought to the WU a large internal reorganization. The universities were given more autonomy and thus their own statutes, the decisions were decentralized. At the WU was shifted to a new legislation on university studies and founded a separate research centre. The Rector will be chosen according to UOG'93 for four years and also has more leeway. The Rector, which at the WU is assisted by four Vice Rectors (male and female ones), is to the equal representation, by the University Assembly chosen University College responsible. This in turn acts as the supreme gremial instance of the University. All personnel decisions, including the appointment of Professor/inn/s (m/f), now fall under the competence of the University itself. Since the academic year 1996/97, the University of Economics can apply all the rules based on the upon new statutes by it decided, as in the UOG'93 are provided. Thus, the WU entered shortly before its 100th Birthday into a new phase of its history.
Mid-2005, it was unanimously decided to switch to the internationally compatible three-cycle degree system and thus become more attractive for foreign students as well. As from the winter semester 2006/ 07 the WU therefore offers instead of the previous diploma programs the two master's programs economic and social sciences (study branches with the business management, international business administration, computer science and business economics) as well as business law. In addition, in the course of the next year are specialized Master programs offered. As a complement to the existing research-intensive doctoral studies PhD programs are included in the offer of the WU.
The new challenge: autonomy for universities
Probably the most massive changes in the Austrian university system came to the WU from the winter semester 2003/04. With the so-called "autonomy", which is regulated in the Universities Act 2002, the WU received a completely new legal system with highly enlarged margins for maneuver.
The wide range of economic subjects as well as the international focus of research and teaching shall strengthen the position of the WU as one of the leading economic research universities in Europe in the future, too.
The introduction of Bachelor and Master studies at WU
The European university scenery is changing. In the framework of the Bologna process, the different study systems are unified. From 2010 within the European Union it should give a common tripartite study architecture with the degrees Bachelor - PhD - Master.
The WU changed in October 2006 the entire study offer to the Bologna system and introduced two bachelor studies - Economic and social sciences, and business law. The graduate studies (master's programs) expire with this. The introduction of the master's programs begin in the fall of 2007.
Prestigious award for the WU: the AACSB accreditation
In February 2007, the WU was awarded the prestigious EQUIS quality label (European Quality Improvement System) accredited by the Agency EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development).
The EQUIS accreditation is the highest ever international award for the WU, which as the first Austrian University penetrates in the group of EQUIS - accredited universities. A circle, in which only three German-speaking universities are included (University of Mannheim, WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management, University of St. Gallen).
Along with the development of container houses, more and more businesses are among to container housing industry. To a certain extent that increases the competition among enterprises and makes original calm market seem to be some confusion. In the face of the fierce competition many container housing enterprises began to try new marketing mode: network marketing, to develop the market.
At present, while most of the container house manufacturers, enterprises use traditional off-line marketing, few of them by network marketing. In fact the network marketing is a unique advantage for the developing container housing industry, rapidly expand enterprise's exposure rate as lowest price in the shortest possible time, and shows this product to consumers much more effectively. Consumers can know about the product features, the material, the price and any other information in detail, without leaving home. That's why there are more and more container enterprises to choose the network marketing to promote the development of container house.
Believe that as more and more container housing enterprises choose network marketing, the current market turmoil of container house will be eased in a short time.

My fascination with textures and light and dark inspired me to look at water and the movement of water, another object which is similair to that of glass and cloth - it has no real 'shape', in the case of the water and the cloth it is ever moving and changeable and in the case of the water and the glass, it is clear which makes it particularly hard to capture! When working on my water pieces I decided primarly to work in blue ink, even if this is just the idea of the colour of water, it helped me give shape and colour to the pieces I was producing.
The “2018 HLPF Side Event on Shaping Smarter and More Sustainable Cities: Striving for Sustainable Development Goals" held on 12 July 2018 in New York provided a platform to debate the impact of frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT) on cities, to present current national and international initiatives such as the United for Smart Sustainable Cities and to discuss the challenges and opportunities faced in shaping smart and sustainable cities at the local level.

December 11, 2014, Albany - Governor Cuomo announces $709.2 million in economic and community development funding has been awarded through Round IV of the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Initiative.
Originally revealed in 2021 and made up of three distinct areas centered on the intersection of N. LaSalle Street and W. North Avenue, developer Fern Hill has offered updated plans. Fern Hill has tapped architect David Adjaye and local firm GREC Architects to work on its design, though those plans have yet to be made public.
Treasure Island Foods at 1639 N. Wells St., which closed in September 2018, will be re-skinned and partially redeveloped. As demanded by the community, it will remain a grocer with the building receiving few alterations as the parking garage above the store is owned by a nearby building.
NOTE2: Plans have been announced for the former Treasure Island in December 2023. It will be restored and receive a new red brick facade with added arches and awnings to better fit the overall development’s style. Once that is complete, the space will be divided into two large commercial spaces, one a temporary Walgreens as it relocates from the street corner. The other half will go to local grocer Commissary Market. However, the developer stated if they are able to find a large singular tenant for the building, Commissary Market may move with Walgreens to the base of the new Canvas tower. That tower at 1610 N. LaSalle St. will eventually rise 36 stories and 395 feet with a multi-colored metal and glass façade and include500 residential units and 14,000 square-feet of commercial space split into two spaces.
Example of a mixed-use development just outside of Washington, DC. It is adjacent to a relatively large mall as well as to several large parking garages.
