Financial Times: Information to change the world

5/19/2015

 
Picture

Without these factors, we cannot plan, implement change, or assess the effectiveness of what we do, and neither can the countries we work with. As the go-to organisation for global and national censuses, we are relied upon by many countries to get data right.

5/19/2015

 
Picture
Snoop Dogg has been on a long journey and has generally shone brightly. His new album, Bush, represents his drive towards cementing a modern classic.

Opening with the slick ‘California Roll’, featuring Stevie Wonder, Snoop sets the bar for a relaxed, smoked out session. Partnering with Pharrell, as he does throughout the album, is a safe move given their prior successes together, but it is also well played and the tight retro sounds shape a solid, rewarding listening experience.
