Unless you have an employee like Tom Haverford who would be thrilled to use any means necessary to post on social media, getting your team to share company content online can be a challenge. Even if your employees like the work they do and are passionate about their industry, that doesn't always translate into being excited to make a social media post about their employer. If you want a robust employee advocacy program, you'll need to show your employees how sharing can benefit them—and make it as easy as possible. If you want to create true advocates for your company, you'll need to get past the barriers that keep them from sharing.
Here are common objections you can expect to hear when trying to implement employee advocacy, along with the solutions you can use to overcome them.
Objection #1: Your company culture is non-existent
If no one believes in the company they work for, it's going to be difficult to get them to advocate for it on social media. In fact, if people are simply focused on clocking in and clocking out, you're going to not only have challenges promoting social sharing—you could also see a 157% increase in burnout. Burnt-out employees are the last people who are going to agree to an employee advocacy program. Before you ask anything of your employees, focus on improving your company culture. When employees are supportive of the company they work for, getting them to post online is going to be a much easier push.
Solution: Hone in on a company culture
Company culture starts at the top. If you want to get people excited about working for you, start putting your employees first and have managers, directors and executives champion the initiatives by setting a good example. Promote proper time off and lunch breaks, offer career growth opportunities, and make sure there is transparency around the company's mission and objectives. If you support particular initiatives or organizations, share those with your team as well to help showcase your culture.
Think about the adjectives you would like to have associated with your company. If you want your employees to think of the workplace as peaceful, encourage everyone to take 10-minute screen breaks every hour to breathe in some fresh air or stretch at their desks. When you implement a strong company culture, you create a jumping-off point for content on social media, making your employees more excited to share.
Objection #2: Your content isn't cool
If you're making reels based on trends that were popular six months ago, lack a consistent voice and tone, or promote content without unique value, people aren't going to want to share your content.
When you create content, you need to think about your target audience, the platform you're using, and how your content will benefit the viewer. In other words, you need a clear content strategy.
Solution: Create a clear content strategy
A content strategy works as a compass for your content. When you map out your content in advance, you have time to strategically make engaging blog posts, videos, and various types of social media posts that are helpful to your target audience. You'll also get the opportunity to try out different styles—you can even use analytics software to zero in on the type of content that your audience likes best.
Be sure to share your content strategy with your team. If you really want to get them engaged, ask for their input. While you might not use all of the ideas, it can be helpful to have them feel as though they're part of the process, which will increase the likelihood of them sharing.
Objection #3: You're not giving clear instructions
Odds are, you had to write journal entries at some point in your high school English class. Sometimes your teacher gave you prompts or topics, and other times you had the option to just write about anything at all—and writing without an idea of what you should or shouldn't produce turned out to be much harder than writing based on a prompt or topic.
The same applies to your employees when creating social media content or posts. If you don't give clear guidelines to your employees, odds are they won't be inclined to post anything at all.
Solution: Outline policies and procedures for social sharing
Develop a social media policy for your company—this can be as simple as a one-to-two-page document outlining what people can and can't post on social media. This should match your company's voice and tone (and ideally, would include rules for following that as well).
For example, if you're a fairly casual company, you may simply ask that employees be respectful and not post any confidential information. However, if you're more focused on a professional services or compliance-regulated market, you may need to include boundaries such as particular topics and phrasing to avoid.
Provide some examples of what appropriate sharing can look like, along with specific prompts to help your employees get started when sharing a post.
Additionally, think about tools you can use to make it easier for staff to share. Clearview's one-click email-sharing tool allows you to send everyone an email with pre-approved content they can use, allowing them to pick and choose what to share on their personal pages. Or, they can just click once to share all of it.
Objection #4: Everyone's freaked out by the idea of sharing
With so many social media scandals and potential missteps, it's understandable people might be a little hesitant to post online. In fact, some of your employees may be under the impression that posting about an employer online can get them in trouble, so they choose to err on the side of caution and avoid it altogether.
You can assuage these fears from the get-go and highlight the benefits for your employees while helping to reassure them that they won't be fired over a small misstep.
Solution: Explain the benefits of employee advocacy
Before your employees can get involved in employee advocacy, they need to understand it. Set up an introductory meeting, starting by sharing the benefits your employees will receive from sharing on social.
For example, participating in social sharing can boost their personal brand, offer free content to share on their social pages, and allow them the chance to become a thought leader in their industry.
It's important to note that you can't force people into employee advocacy. You want people to be engaged and excited about posting about your brand. How they feel about posting will come through in their content, and you're more likely to drum up positive brand awareness when it's a willing and eager share.
Objection #5: The higher-ups aren't sharing
The best employee advocacy programs start at the top. If your top-level employees share the content you're creating, your employees are much more likely to do the same.
Solution: Lead by example
Set an example by using your personal account to share the great work your company is doing. When the company's social media account posts a video, share it. When someone mentions your company or uses one of your branded hashtags, retweet or share where appropriate. This encourages more earned media for your brand and gives your employees an example to follow.
Objection #6: You haven't asked them to share at all!
If you don't ask people to share, they probably don't know you want them to in the first place! Thankfully, this one has an easy fix.
Solution: Ask the people who are the most active on social media
It can help to ask a few of your team members to get on board with sharing first. Look through your employees' social media profiles to see who tends to be the most active. Then, invite those people to be the initial group for your employee advocacy program, setting an example for the rest of your employees. Once that's a success, it's more likely that everyone else will be interested in hopping on board.

Screenprint on Canvas, Acrylic Detailing
Tappan presents SHINE SUNSHINE, a window into Australian artist Luke Chiswell's exploration of the creative process. Chiswell, a multimedia visual artist, merges diverse mediums such as screen printing, painting and sculpture to celebrate the allure concealed within trial and error, asemic writing and observing ones self interacting with the creative process.
Inspired by his rural roots, his work radiates authenticity and intricacy.
In his previous works, Chiswell explored the mantras of the physical process to making. In this body of work, he delves into the feeling of creation and the associated energy. Metaphorically, he likens the act of making to basking in the sun, representing the flow state of creativity, and posits flowers as the resultant of ideas left in the sun. The metaphor becomes the thematic basis for his artistic production.
In a continuation of his Working Titles series, Chiswell recreates shoe box lids through screen printing and drawing, exaggerating scale while using texture to bring further attention to what could be a small overlooked moment. The works constitute an ongoing exploration of reevaluating the creative process, where the intention and act of titling future works are treated as completed works unto themselves. Drawing inspiration from everyday occurrences and making the most of available materials and moments of interest becomes a process of seizing inspiration at its inception.

Chiswell's Trophies Series
To make works from his "Trophies" series, Chiswell skates on a skateboard until it breaks. During each skating session he repeats a specific word, like "try" or "best" to himself. When the board breaks, Chiswell considers it then a "Trophy" and the word he repeated is carved into it.

As a break from working furiously on my next smash hit Edinburgh Festival production Airbnb;The Musical, I thought it might be helpful to reflect briefly on the vagaries of the great junket itself and its offshoots, for the The Edinburgh International Festival, as we all know, is merely the exhausted matron of an unruly brood of added festivals – Fringe, book, jazz, film, TV, pie etc – with some opportunistic interlopers, like the much vilified Plunderbelly, wrecker of East Princes Street Gardens, or wealthy hotelier Norman Springford, wanabee wrecker of its Western equivalent.
Regarding these delicate matters, it was commendable of the Cockburn Association, the city's 'heritage guardians', to host an online conference under the heading 'Whose Festival is it Anyway?' to which the average Edinburgh punter's response these days is probably 'no mine, pal.'
This is sad, but inevitable, given the palpable decline since visionary Lord Provost Sir John Falconer (grandfather of Charlie) promoted the idea that a 1947 Festival of Music and Drama could help to heal the wounds of war-ravaged Europe, and the Earl of Rosebery chipped in with the £10,000 winnings he'd scooped when his horse Ocean Swell won the Jockey Gold Cup and the Derby. That's right. Edinburgh boasts the only arts festival in the world which was, if not exactly founded, at least funded, by a horse.
It has been suggested that the early festivals under the likes of Sir Rudolph Bing and the Earl of Harewood were hopelessly elitist, with the focus on orchestral music and opera, but this was not altogether true. In 1948 Tyrone Guthrie staged The Thrie Estaitis by Sir David Lyndsay of the Mount, last performed in Edinburgh in 1554. The reviews were sensational. Not only was this a quintessentially Scottish play – it was also a celebration of 'John the Commonweal', the ordinary citizen. Some decades later when Paul Henderson Scott attempted to have the play revived he was given short shrift. It seems the authorities feared it might encourage nationalism.
Your writer's entry into this world of magic and imagination was via the vagabond route, only made possible by participation in the Craigmillar Festival Society, plus the odd free ticket to shows at the long lost Gateway Theatre. Coming from the sort of milieu from which Irvine Welsh and Danny Boyle have derived much fame and fortune in the exaggerated denigration thereof (plus £500,000 from Cremative Scotland for TS2) I never expected much, but there was always the festival.
Engrossed in the radical Traverse Theatre, yours truly found himself exchanging words with the ultra-famous – Marlene Dietrich, David Bowie, Derek Jacobi, Mick Jagger, Grace Kelly, Kenneth Tynan, and many more. The words, it so happens, rarely rose much above such banalities as 'caesar salad' or 'spaghetti bolognese' or 'do you actually have any drinkable coffee?' since it was a matter of waiting at table. True, there was once a longer chat with Ben Hur star Charlton Heston, a surprisingly good artist exhibiting in Richard Demarco's gallery downstairs. He seemed pleasant enough, but that was before he was exposed as a gun-toting maniac by Michael Moore.
Still, the requisite amount of stardust was scattered. In time, your scribbler graduated to lighting and sound technician, and was even granted the odd walk-on part if a minor performer was too ill or inebriated to show up. This never amounted to making a living, of course, but prior to this he'd somehow ended up as a stable boy to the King of Jordan's camels in St Cuthbert's stables in Fountainbridge during their Tattoo sojourn, and had learnt how to strip paint from old mantelpieces for an antique dealer in Thistle Street, thus had somehow contrived to devise a ramshackle survival strategy which eventually led to that last refuge of the unemployable, journalism.
Compared to all of the above (every word of which incidentally is true, though the outlook for Airbnb; The Musical is shaky – unless Ken Stott can be persuaded to play the part of Brian Chesky) the Cockburn conference was a flat and dispiriting affair, especially when talk turned to some dismal post-Covid world in which we could consume most of our culture online. That wasn't the fault of the organisers or the panellists, of course, but it still betokened a bleak future, given that, with the exception of reading, culture is nearly always communitarian and participative in nature.
Try reeling back to Woodstock here, – sans drugs, sans rain, sans sex, sans mud, sans food poisoning – and we can only conclude that the sixties would never have happened in any meaningful sense if that event had been offered digitally. Likewise the International Times 1967 'Summer of Love' in London, of which Traverse co-founder Jim Haynes was a moving spirit – social distancing might have put a bit of a damper on proceedings, one imagines.
We are where we are, thanks to the pandemic, and must make the best of things, but a festival which goes digital is a poor, sad creature. Consider these two experiences (a) You are in New York, getting all dressed up for a night out with a few friends. You meet up for a quick pre-performance light supper at Il Violino on Columbus Avenue then head over to The Metropolitan Opera for a highly acclaimed La Boheme playing to a glittering audience. Afterwards your party heads off on the number 10 bus down to Joe and Arlene's house on 24th Street for drinks. With some soothing Miles Davis in the background, a couple of bottles of Two Buck Chuck, plus a few brownies and other tasty handouts, there is much reminiscing and banter. Then at around 1am everybody heads home, having agreed to meet up for the new MOMA exhibition Wednesday.
So OK, that was New York, and I made it up, but barely 18 months ago, and with a few minor adjustments, it could just as easily have been Edinburgh, for those with an appetite for such things. Now, for a dose of reality, here's (b). It is day 286 of the great pandemic, according to the notches on the door frame, and barring the half hour weekly walk in the park with an equally beleaguered lady friend in a fashionable fabric mask, and the odd flash raid on the Co-op for more of that cheap fusilli and cheese sauce, it's a solitary sofa bound routine wearing the same crumpled tee shirt and elasticated breeks day and night, except that during the day one might wrestle into a pullover to save on the heating bills and get a bit of exercise. The room still heaves with paperwork liberated on day two in a short-lived can-do frenzy, but pretty well abandoned by day six.
Then comes the dreaded what-to-do dip which arrives with the dusk. For those who've watched everything worth watching on Netflix at least twice, it's a challenge – but hey, what's this? They're doing a special streaming of La Boheme from the Met. A pizza is ordered, a bottle of Lidl's Merlot uncorked, and in no time at all one is settling down under one's coat to enjoy a solo evening of high culture. Could it be that there's something in pizza dough normal people over the age of thirty are unable to metabolise? Or could it be the Merlot? Whichever, a few bars into the overture an irresistible drowsiness descends, only lifting after the final act when the rapturous applause of the ecstatic audience brings a rude awakening. You'll have had your Puccini, right enough.
Question. Which of these above experiences is the most rewarding and memorable? Answer. I rest my case. Streaming your culture online (with the odd exception like raunchy French TV period costume dramas with wall-to-wall overacting) truly sucks. There's nothing as real as the real thing.
That was a feckless diversion, yet it illustrates a point. Edinburgh Festival, at its best, was always about a certain interaction between spectator and performer, and a sense that a live audience was sharing a magic hour or so which, with luck, would turn out to be truly memorable. No doubt for people from across the world and locals alike there were many such magic hours from day one.
This writer's awareness of such things possibly began when the Craigmillar Festival Society was offered a clutch of tickets to a Verdi opera – La Traviata, possibly – and an assorted group of pensioners and three sullen Niddrie teenage girls and masel' were directed into the upper circle to watch this novel spectacle. Afterwards we had to comfort one elderly lady, who was in tears. All her life, she said, she'd never known that there could be anything quite so beautiful. Whenever I hear lofty opinions being dealt out about the supposed elitism of opera and its irrelevance to 'ordinary' people I think of that old lady from Niddrie. What a pity she hadn't seen it 50 years earlier.
The disappointing thing about 'Whose Festival is it Anyway' was its curious lack of balance. In some ways this was not for want of trying. The council, which has some responsibility for funding and managing the official festival, had refused point-blank to take part. While Shauna MacDonald made a good pitch as a professional actress, and Andrew Crummy ably represented the visual arts, the absence of those who actually created the Festival, per se, was a glaring deficit.
Precious few remember the first festivals, but Richard Demarco, still in good voice, has famously attended all of them. Frank Dunlop, now in New York, was a particularly innovative Festival director in the 1980s. Alistair Moffat was Fringe director (and later biographer) in the 70s. All were missing, like John Bett and Bill Paterson of the ground-breaking 7.84 Theatre Company, prolific playwright and actress Marcella Evaristi, others such as Gregory Burke and David Greig, former Film Festival directors Murray Grigor and Linda Myles, musicians of the calibre of Sir James MacMillan, Anna Meredith, and Nigel Osborne, and Book Festival founder Jenny Brown. 'Whose Festival is it Anyway' didn't include any of them, so presumably it's not theirs these days.
No-one as much as mentioned the Arts Council's scandalous assassination of the 7.84 Theatre Company in 2006, when it withdrew funding, since when, as Cremative Scotland, they've found better things to waste our money on, like the £5 million it blew on the hideous concrete Dundee V&A while most of Scotland's musicians, artists, writers, and performers scratch by on a pittance.
Take as a starting point the obvious fact that the Festival was a civic triumph from the mid 60s, when the Traverse really got going and an International Writers' Conference turned out to be just that – international, until around 2000, at which point a kind of capitalist mission-creep began to infect its public character as a cabal of private interests muscled in. Since then the commodification of our festival culture has been alarming. Subsidy had always been a feature, especially of the official festival, but there is a difference between, say, an Edinburgh law practice gifting a few thousand to help out a European string quartet playing for three nights in the Queen's Hall, a contribution from Fyffes towards Billy Connolly's banana boots, or support from the philanthropic Dunard Fund and Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, which aren't trying to sell us anything, or, on the other hand, a 'branding' takeover of the Fringe by Fred Goodwin's Royal Bank of Scotland and Richard Branson's Virgin Money, all ruthlessly calculated on the publicity payback abacus.
A veritable perfect storm of corporate decadence swooped on the city as this branding exercise was accompanied by a gross over-expansion of the Fringe until its brochure of almost four thousand entries made the King James Bible look like an easy beach read. Comedy turned to tragedy as every available backroom became a venue for freelance jokers, some mediocre, a lot truly awful, and OK one, maybe even two, rather brilliant. After The Gilded Balloon we got Plunderbelly and the wholesale comedic whoring of Edinburgh University campus and George Square.
Comedy was a containable genre when under the umbrella of Bill Burdet-Coutts' Assembly Rooms, Tommy Shepperd's The Stand, or the Pleasance venues, but as it seeped everywhere its effects became pernicious. By degrees not just Edinburgh Festival but Edinburgh itself became a de facto comedy jamboree as young hopefuls prayed to be discovered by TV talent scouts. They were in it for the laughs, and we were the butt of the joke. Hordes of fans swamped the city centre, along with hen 'n stag revellers, Harry Potter pilgrims, and direct flighters from Beijing with a predilection for selfies and tartan-tat shops where they could buy Chinese-made cashmere to take home with them. The majority of these itinerants were no doubt perfectly nice people, considered individually, but enmasse, when the pavements were overflowing, it could be terrifying. By 2016 Joan Bakewell, alongstanding festival goer, had announced it was all too much and she wouldn't be coming back.
By now a few of you will have decided old miseryguts here doesn't like comedy, but that's far from the case. It's all a matter of scale. There can be a select offering of good, even epically good, comedy, which God speed, and then there's gross over-saturation weighted down with stuff which comes into the waste-of-time category as navigating the crowded venues becomes a nightmare.
Take a simple statistic. Between 1960, when Beyond the Fringe was staged at the Royal Lyceum (confusingly, as part of the official festival) and 1970, when it hired John Milligan as its first administrator, there were generally between 30 and 70 shows annually on the Fringe. A minority were comedies. Ten years later this was rising towards 500. In 2008 comedy overtook theatre, and there was such a high demand on the computerised ticket system that it crashed. By 2019 there were 3,841 shows, most of them comedies, totalling almost 60,000 performances selling a total of 3 million tickets. It was becoming a desperate no-holds-barred roller derby, which is not to say that there weren't some outstanding performers who shone out, year after year – Robin Williams, Rory Bremner, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Neil Delamere, Victoria Wood, Alexei Sayle, Spike Milligan, and Rowan Atkinson, to name a few.
As the remorseless bulking up of gagster ubiquity crowded out other aspects of the festival – indeed, as some of the more high quality comedy acts were lost in a communal brain fog of comedic mediocrity – even comedy, in its true sense, began to suffer. The Fringe, traditionally ungated and uncurated, succumbed to a production line of endless turns which were methodically managed by commercial operators in search of a profit. There were still a few gems out there for those with an interest in theatre, including outstanding productions such as Gregory Burke's Black Watch, Teatro Playa's Villa + Discurso, and the thought provoking plays of the Cal-Arts company of Los Angeles, while Summerhall continued to promote the sort of high quality independent theatre for which the festival was once famous. Basically, however, the Fringe had become an outsourcing carnival, with Plunderbelly playing the part of Capita or G4S.
'Whose Festival is it Anyway' bleakly revealed where the formula is failing, though one suspects half unintentionally. The afternoon session, which could have been headed 'the three marketeers', was skilfully moderated by seasoned anchor Stephen Jardine, which didn't mitigate the effect of a dead-hand trio which regarded what used to be the world's greatest arts festival as some sort of accounting exercise, the sole purpose of which is to 'add value' to the local economy. Two of the three even had the temerity to deny that there was any problem with 'overtourism' in Edinburgh, rather suggesting we shouldn't pay them the least bit of attention, given the blatantly obvious evidence to the contrary, which includes Plunderbelly's Battle of the Somme type devastation of East Princes Street Gardens – such a success they've been invited back to stage a re-enactment!
The low point, indeed a moment of severe shock and trauma, had nothing to do with the cash register thinking of Mr. Jardine's panel of over-tourism deniers. It was when the one-time doyenne of Scottish theatre critics, Joyce McMillan, came up with a stout defence of Plunderbelly which was, it seemed to her, a good thing, since it had enabled her to see Phoebe Waller Bridge as Fleabag well ahead of the pack. Groan!
I think that was the moment at which I realised that Edinburgh Festival, as many of us used to know it, has ceased to be, and that any attempt to continue with Airbnb; The Musical would be a pointless waste of time, Ken Stott or no Ken Stott. I might just get on with my paperwork instead.

All that's required of a US citizen is a plane ticket and a valid passport to enter many countries. Russia, having said that, is more complicated. Visiting the chair associated with previous Soviet Union takes a visa, and having that visa calls for some preparation, a small persistence, a skill for untangling thick knots of bureaucracy and a number of good old fashioned American greenbacks. TPG Contributor Katie Hammel will be here to walk you through the procedure.
Editor's Note: place your visa to utilize if you take advantageous asset of our $399 trip deal to Moscow with Singapore Airlines.
There are many more than 80 particular visa that is russian for all of us residents to pick from, including seven kinds of short-term visas, such as for instance work, pupil and transportation (needed if you'll need certainly to leave the protected customs area and/or if transportation will need significantly more than a day). Which will make things simpler, we'll focus on the most frequent kind – the tourist visa, that is obtainable in solitary or entry that is multiple. Note: you must prior have a visa to boarding your journey to Russia, as visas are maybe perhaps not issued on arrival.
You are able to make an application for a visa anywhere from 30 to 3 months before departure. Go from 1 whom recently had the procedure: The greater amount of time you can easily provide yourself to leap through Russia's many flaming hoops of bureaucracy, the greater.

Secure a Letter of Invite
The first faltering step in the procedure is securing a page of invitation (LOI) from the Russian company acquiesced by the Russian Foreign Ministry, that is less difficult than it seems. Many resort hotels, along with trip operators and specific agencies, can offer the desired letter, that will be actually just a questionnaire that indicates your times of journey, information that is personal, meant residence through your stay while the organization that's hosting you. As soon as this form is had by you, you can easily submit an application for your visa.
For the journey, my spouce and I planned to keep at an Airbnb in Moscow and a tiny inn in St. Petersburg — fortunately, the latter was able to offer (via e-mail) a page of invite through a trip agency for the $35 per individual charge. Technically, the issuer for the LOI is legitimately accountable we never had any direct contact with the company that sponsored our stay for you while you're in Russia, but.
Purchase Health Insurance
EU residents are required to have medical health insurance legitimate in Russia (though us residents aren't). Insurance coverage info is required in your application, and — officially — required whenever your application that is full package submitted. My spouce and I bought the cheapest policy we're able to find. Nevertheless, besides the application (which just asked we were never required to submit proof if we had insurance and through which company. We presented our package face-to-face ( more about that later) however the clerk would not ask for almost any documents of our insurance coverage. Still, you're better safe than sorry, specially because of the fairly low priced of protection — we insured ourselves for our entire journey for $100 total.

Apply On The Web
While you will find five visa processing centers in america, you ought to fill out of the Electronic Visa Application Form even although you intend to use in individual. When you've applied online, you'll need certainly to print the application form to provide face-to-face at a Russian Consulate or deliver it to a visa solution for processing. Yes, you need to submit the shape both on the internet and in difficult content. Because Russia.
Be ready: the applying is intensive. Needed information includes where both you and your spouses had been created, your mother and father' private information, information on your wellbeing insurance coverage legitimate in Russia, every nation you've got visited within the last 10 years (with times), past jobs held (including supervisors' names and cell phone numbers) and greater academic institutions went to. Assume this may just simply take 30-45 moments to fill in.
Write A Resume Cover Letter
a employment cover letter is yet another element that is theoretically required in your application package, but that has been perhaps maybe maybe not expected for as soon as we used in individual. Even as we learned, Russian guidelines are at the mercy of interpretation and inconsistently enforced, yet still it is easier to be ready than to possess the job denied as incomplete.
We kept our page brief: names, target, contact information, times of delivery, function of our visit (tourism), cities we planned to check out and on which times, accommodation information additionally the details of the ongoing business sponsoring our visas.
It will require large amount of strive to have that Russian entry stamp. Picture thanks to Shutterstock.
Apply via Mail or In Individual
Russia's embassies and consulates in the usa usually do not accept visa applications by mail, this means in the event that you don't live near a Russian Consulate Department, you'll need certainly to submit via a third-party, such as for example Travisa, PVS Global, genuine Russia or CIBT, Inc. You'll be able to utilize TPG Allied that is favorite Passport Visa.
If you're in just one of the five US towns by having a Russian Consulate Department (DC, NYC, san francisco bay area, Houston, or Seattle) you are able to submit the job in individual. But that is definitely not easier. a specialist called Invisa Logistics Service processes visas for the Consulate and every workplace has — shall we say hours that are— unique. Some just just take breaks from 12:30/1pm to 2pm, some only accept visa applications when you look at the early morning and passport pickup is permitted when you look at the afternoon. In the event that you don't make a consultation (you should) get early to guarantee you'll be viewed before shutting time. Despite having a consultation, provide your self some cushioning between your closing and appointment or break time; we'd a consultation, yet still waited near to thirty minutes.
You can easily use 30 to 3 months before departure; you can easily use with less time under unique circumstances and, needless to say, for an fee that is additional. Based on the ILS website, the Consulate General ratings applications 4 to 10 calendar times after distribution, though they may be able use up to thirty days. Enable lots of time for the visa become prepared.
Whether you're submitting in person or via mail, double- and triple-check that your particular application contains every thing required, as incomplete applications will undoubtedly be came back. Make copies of every thing.
Submit the invite, the application that is signed, your resume cover letter and proof insurance coverage, your passport (which must certanly be legitimate for half a year away from intended stay and also have a the least two blank pages for the entry stamp), a photocopy of one's passport, two passport photographs additionally the processing cost (payable via money, cash purchase or cashier's check just). If you're applying in individual and spending in money, bring precise modification. My spouce and I needed to set you back a nearby shop to get change for a ten whenever our total found $416 and we also paid $420 money and also the clerk refused to simply accept it.
Therefore, just how much does it all expense? The price that is exact differ by business. ILS charges $160 for the single-entry visa in 10 calendar days, plus $33 processing fee in the event that you want your passport mailed back if you pick up and $103. If you want the visa in four days, the purchase price jumps to $283 plus solution costs.
Therefore, at $193 ($160 + $33 processing) times two, exactly just how did our total arrive at $436 for two visas? We forgot one part that is crucial of application package, the photocopies of y our passports. The price to produce black colored and white copies? $25 each. Because… Russia!
Check Always Your Visa
Once you've the coveted visa in your hand, double-check that every information is proper. You will see two times detailed; the first is the earliest date you can easily enter Russia plus the second could be the date through which you need to keep. As soon as your visa is released, these times are set. All over again if your plans change and you want come a day earlier or stay a day later, you get to do the whole process.
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour within the Moscow.
Whilst in Russia
The feeding and care of one's visa continues whilst in Russia. Russian police have actually the authority to cease you at any moment and ask for to see your visa so that the formal suggestion would be to carry you at all times to your passport. We opted to help make copies of our invite page, passports and visas, and carry those while making our passports within the resort. People in america will also be expected to carry a migration card whilst in Russia. Typically, these two-part cards are given by the flight; once you land, Russian immigration keeps half and also you keep consitently the other until such time you leave (more recent terminals issue these cards electronically).
Finally, you must register your visa and migration card through your sponsor at the Federal Migration Service (FMS) or through your host at their local post office if you spend more than seven working days in any locality in Russia. Accommodations have to do that for visitors regarding the night that is first of stay. My check out dropped over a few vacations and a week-end, therefore though I became in Russia for nine times, I happened to be in a position to avoid this hassle.
One last note of care: usually do not overstay your visa! Russian authorities will perhaps not enable A us citizen to leave the united states with a visa that is expired alternatively often hold them for ten times, charge a hefty fine and impose a five-year minimum ban on going back to Russia.

A woman who has been shouted at, even pushed, when challenging people who use mobility parks without a permit is seeking bigger fines and better enforcement.
Claire Dale suffers pain simply to walk and told Morning Report she had been subjected to abuse by those using mobility parking spaces while not showing a permit.
"If the person comes back to the car I would very politely and very quietly ask them to move to a non-mobility parking location or put their permits up ... the response over 90 percent of the time is verbal abuse.
"They just yell, they're entitled. 'I'm just dropping someone off; I'm just getting my coffee; you can just ask me to move if you need the park'. There are very few people I know that qualify for a mobility parking placard who are in a position to be able to hop out of their car and ask these people to move. I have been pushed."
She has been working for years to improve the situation, and has now started a Parliamentary petition calling for bigger fines and better enforcement.
"At the moment if parking spaces are on privately owned land they are excluded from the law for enforcement, which means it can be very difficult to get anyone to come and do something about it," she said.
That includes areas like airports, hospitals, supermarkets and shopping malls, and enforcement there is only possible through the owners.
"What shopping mall owner is going to make sure they have an enforcement team in place? They just think it will scare away the customers."
People need to pay $50 and get an assessment from their doctor to get a permit.
Enforcement in public areas, run by local councils, was also not always available to call on outside of business hours, she said.
Dale said she had asked the minister for fines for using a mobility parking space without a permit to be increased to $1500.
The petition was also calling for equal enforcement - perhaps through a law, rather than a bylaw - and an education campaign to help the public understand the difficulty mobility-impaired people faced when these carparks were taken.
"The conditions that we have to put up with are despicable."

The Benefits of Solar Power for Apartment Buildings
Demand for renewable energy sources has surged, and solar power has emerged as a sustainable and cost-effective solution. While solar panels are commonly associated with single-family homes, many apartment buildings are beginning to adopt them as well. This article explores the numerous benefits of harnessing solar power for apartment buildings, shedding light on how this eco-friendly technology can be a game-changer for both property owners and residents.
Reduced Energy Costs
One of the most significant advantages of solar power for apartment buildings is the potential for cost savings. By generating their own electricity from the sun, property owners can significantly reduce their reliance on the grid, leading to lower monthly energy bills. This reduction in energy costs is advantageous for both property owners and tenants.
For property owners, solar panels represent a long-term investment that pays off through lower electricity bills, government financial incentives, and increased property value. As the sun's energy is harnessed to power common areas and utilities, apartment owners can allocate their saved resources toward building maintenance and enhancements, creating a more attractive and comfortable living environment for residents.
An apartment complex has substantial energy requirements, and owners are responsible for electricity expenses related to building operations, as well as common areas such as hallways, lobbies, and any on-site amenities like gyms or entertainment areas.
Even if your tenants are individually billed for the electricity they use within their apartments, these communal areas still represent a significant portion of your operating costs. Solar panels can often generate enough energy to power these shared spaces and significantly reduce operational expenses. If you include utilities in tenants' rent, adding solar panels can transform this expense into a potential source of revenue as you minimize your own energy costs.
Tenants appreciate an eco-friendly building, and they also benefit from lower utility bills, which can be a significant factor when choosing an apartment. These lower utility costs can make renting in a solar-powered complex an attractive prospect.
Environmental Impact
Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source that does not generate greenhouse gases. Apartment buildings that use solar panels contribute to a greener environment by reducing their carbon footprint. This eco-friendly energy source harnesses the sun's energy through photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity without emitting harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases.
By adopting solar energy, apartment building owners make a significant contribution to mitigating climate change. Solar panels help reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, which are a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. This benefits the immediate environment and contributes to global efforts to combat climate change and transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
Financial Incentives
Government incentives, such as tax credits and rebates, are available to encourage the installation of solar energy systems. These incentives can significantly offset the initial investment required to set up solar power systems in apartment buildings.
For instance, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit that allows building owners to deduct a percentage of the cost of their solar installation from their federal taxes. This means that a significant portion of the initial investment can be recouped through tax savings.
In addition to federal incentives, many states and local governments offer their own financial incentives to promote solar adoption. These incentives can include property tax exemptions, sales tax exemptions on solar equipment, and cash rebates. Collectively, these incentives make the transition to solar energy a financially savvy one for apartment building owners.
Net metering
Net metering allows excess energy generated by solar panels to be sold back to utility companies. Owners can earn credits to offset future energy bills. To get an estimate of your monthly savings, consider training building managers on how to read an electric meter.
Low maintenance
Solar panels are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements. With regular cleaning and minimal upkeep, solar panels will provide a steady flow of power for 25-30 years. That means the initial cost of installation will be the most you'll have to worry about for a long time.
Reliable Energy Source & Energy Independence
Contrary to its reputation, solar energy is highly reliable. It's most effective in areas with abundant sunlight, but solar panels work in winter and under cloudy conditions. Generating solar power onsite gives apartment buildings a consistent source of energy, which insulates them from power outages.
Unlike traditional energy sources that are subject to disruptions due to fuel shortages, demand spikes, and infrastructure issues, solar power systems are designed for reliability. Solar panels ensure you'll always have some amount of power, even during adverse weather or high demand.
During an outage, solar panels won't generate enough electricity for all your tenants, but they'll keep basic building functions online. They help ensure that essential services and facilities like elevators, lighting, and heating remain operational. That's why solar power can be a significant selling point for apartment buildings in areas prone to power disruptions.
Increased Property Value
In today's real estate market, sustainability and eco-consciousness are in high demand. Apartment buildings that have embraced solar power appeal to tenants who prioritize green living. They also draw the attention of socially responsible investors, who recognize that environmentally friendly properties present a sound financial opportunity.
Solar-powered apartment buildings are often viewed as forward-thinking and responsible investments. They're assets that offer immediate energy cost savings as well as a long-term competitive edge in the real estate market.
Your Apartment Building and the Benefits of Solar Power
Solar power is a game-changer for apartment buildings. It offers reduced energy costs, environmental benefits, financial incentives, increased property value, and more. As the world moves away from fossil fuels toward sustainable living, embracing solar power is a wise choice for property owners and a positive step towards a greener future.

We're quickly moving into wedding season and that means some of you will be showering the bride with a party. Choose a theme and color and go all-out to honor the bride-to-be.
I decided to take my love of everything French and pink to create a Parisian themed shower.
Guests will know what's in store as soon as they open the invitation. I found a clip-art Eifel Tower and sized to fit pink stationary.
Then let the shopping
begin. I collected square pink chargers and white, silver, pink and black dishes at Goodwill. Mix and match dishes to make every place setting different.
There are always lots of silk flowers at Goodwill. If you can't find any in the right color, buy white ones and "dye" the petals with a marker.
You shower the bride with gifts, but make sure every guest goes home with something too. I happened to find mini-hat boxes with pink-and-black polka dots. It came with a hat candle. But you can make your own by covering gift boxes with decorative scrap paper and rubber cement.
Key tags (found at the office supply store) are perfect for name tags. Dye the tag and string with the same marker and attach to a wine glass.
Why offer one napkin when two are better? Fold them together and tuck into a wine glass for a little French flair. Serve French onion soup with croissants, macaroons and champagne for a real taste of Paris.

Sterling City
Stephen Graham JonesA moon explodes and a marriage dies. An impossible creature rises from the tall grass, watches a farmer's circle system crawl across the field like a giant insect. That farmer watches back. His wife's footprints are there in the dirt. The fire in the sky leaves his shadow crisp and deep. This is Texas without the cowboy hat. This is Texas with a soft rain of cosmic debris sifting down over it. This is a dark, dangerous thing hiding in the cellar, but this is also a girl threading her bangs out of her face and smiling with her eyes at a boy. This is that impossible creature, love. This is Sterling City.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (PS5) Review
Fluid, fast combat
Wide range of cool weapons
Graphically stunning
Perfectly uses the PS5's features
Very short
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a deeply heartfelt adventure that follows the familiar paths of saving the world from an evil emperor, Dr. Nefarious. As the title suggests, this time around it's rift to alternative dimensions that threaten mankind. Who else should step in to save the day other than our age-old hero, Ratchet, and his lovable friends?
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart- A Reason to get a PS5?
Long-serving studio, Insomniac Games, has gone the extra mile (or possibly just used a rift) when it comes to presentation. RaC: RA is a real show horse for the PlayStation 5 the console's jaw-dropping potential. Perfectly executed ray-tracing brings the universe to life with light reacting as it should, offering up a vastly aesthetic shine on a much-loved franchise.
Furthermore, this immensely popular title goes on to show off just what the PS5 can do through the medium of the haptic feature on the impressive DualSense 5 controller. Feedback is relayed back through the pad to mimic what's happening on your screen. Aside from this, the trigger buttons will push back against your fingers with a force; depending on what you're doing at the time. To have a control pad that offers such physical presence in a game is a true gift from the Sony gods, and Insomnia Games saw this and pushed it to its absolute limits; to game-changing ends.
New Characters
Ratchet and Clank: Rift apart introduced a brand new character, namely Rivet. Rivet is a playable character that will be used in conjunction with the well-known hero Ratchet. With this new addition comes a whole new depth to the story. New issues in the character lead to new situations and perspectives. The story even goes as far as to touch upon mental health, a topic that you wouldn't usually associate with the light-hearted, humor-laced world of our furry friends.
True to tradition, the combat in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is fluid, fast, and immensely fun. An eclectic arsenal is at your disposal from which you can access mid-combat, seamlessly from the convenient weapon wheel. From the standard burst pistol to the portal-opening RYNO-8, each weapon feels unique to the last, allowing you to take down your foes with varying styles and attacks. The sheer variety of whacky weaponry keeps the game fresh and interesting.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is the perfect game to pick up with a PlayStation 5. With impressive graphics and clever use of the DualSense controller, it's the perfect game to see just what your PlayStation 5 can do. The story rarely gets boring and is punctuated with classic Ratchet-and-Clank-brand humor that will make you laugh out loud. Graphics, story, features, and humor are all wrapped up in a tidy bundle of awesomeness that will offer the very best in video game entertainment this side of the current generation. However, as great as Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is, it will leave a bitter taste in your mouth when it draws to a premature end. The longevity of the game is lacking and one of the very few drawbacks to an otherwise perfect title.

For a winter wonderland, it looks beautiful.
At an event with Mark Webber brand ambassador and ex-F1 driver. Porsche unveiled the most powerful 911 Turbo ever on 3 March. Just 9 official press photos published by the German company. So, this gave us a clear view of the Sports Cup from all viewpoints.
Only a few days back, so our spies have taken a concept prototype with a tweaked spoiler and now we have a new series of photos that show the new Turbo S in all its glory on a public lane.
We assume that the current 911 Turbo S is already a pre-production version. Porsche expected to make any final design improvements prior to the customer launch by the end of 2020.
It's a yellow vehicle, not one inch of camouflage, with all the output parts. This is worth seeing the branding of the car company, which used to only be known as Speed Yellow.
A big change from the outgoing pattern is the latest ranking topper in the 911 series. Porsche considers them the most powerful 911 ever due to an enormous boost in power from 580 (433 kilowatts) to 640 hp (447 kW) of the previous version.
The power is sufficient to propel the Porsche 2 door from powered by a powerful8-speed mechanism to hit all four wheels, a standstill to 62 miles per hour from 0-100 km/hour in a coupe-size 2.6 seconds.
You will spend at least $203,500 for the 911 Turbo S Coupe and the Cabriolet $216,300. If you like what you see in the gallery and in the figures above. Life in the USA expected to begin by the end of this year.
We assume the updated 911 Turbo S is only pre-produce Porsche likely to make final hardware changes before the product shipped to clients by the end of 2020. It is a yellow car with not an inch of disguise for all the output pieces.


text: NFT tokens are becoming more and more popular. The ability to create, sell and exchange various digital items, art objects, game artifacts, and other things attracts a large number of collectors and traders, as well as projects, artists, and developers working in this field. For example, the NFT market on Ethereum grew 10 times in January 2021. Many people associate the Non Fungible Tokens trend with the general DeFi trend. Indeed, many crypto enthusiasts and DeFi adepts are actively interested in this space. I am sure that this trend will only grow, and NFT will find a large number of different use cases. NFT is something that will probably change more than one industry and how we interact with many things in the virtual and real world. I've already written about . Let's say you created your own NFT project. Today I want to talk in detail about how to conduct a promotion and marketing company for your NFT project, how to make the world hear and be interested in your Non Fungible Tokens. what NFT is and how to issue your NFT tokens , and I see some patterns and necessary things that I want to share. I work with a large number of projects 1. NFT idea and implementation As a basis, we will take the fact that you have a strong and interesting idea and its implementation. We will not dwell on this further and will assume that by default your project is worthy of mass attention in all parameters, including technical implementation, good documentation and presentation, website, and other necessary documents, depending on the project. 2. Community for NFT projects For most crypto projects, the community is a vital thing. NFT is no exception. Your primary community is the people who will support you, spread the word about you, invest in you, and buy your NFTs. Let's talk about how to build an initial community SMM for NFT Be sure to work on your social networks. It would be ideal to conduct them in such a style that some posts become viral. NFT is not only about people who are well versed in crypto, but also for a general audience. It would be good to introduce explanatory posts so that people understand why they have to pay something for some digital image/piece and what its real value is. As a standard, we advise our clients to manage: Facebook, Twitter, Medium, Reddit, LinkedIn (optional as a corporate page) Telegram and Discord chats for NFT community If Telegram is already an established communication channel for the crypto project community, then Discord becomes an excellent alternative. It is convenient to create different chats within the same channel, which is definitely a huge plus. Moreover, the NFT industry is very similar to the gaming industry, for which Discord was created. Nevertheless, Telegram remains the 'number one' platform in terms of the number of crypto users. Therefore, we still recommend creating both channels, starting with Telegram (but in some cases, choosing Discord first is also justified). Make sure that the team that communicates in the chat from the project is competent, polite, knows the project well, works on the FAQ, and responds to questions and feedback in time. Often, users perceive the support team as the face of the project. Community Engagement for NFT We always advise you to create a buzz around yourself on various platforms - this is useful not only for promotion but also for getting adequate feedback from the community. It's good if you have multiple accounts on BitcoinTalk, Reddit, Telegram, Twitter, and so on. Do not forget that you should not spread spam and flood, and in those dialogues where it is relevant, mention your project and ask the community's opinion about it. Often, such a strategy, in addition to a fresh look, can also bring new participants to the community. In general, all the other promotion methods described below are also working to increase the community in one way or another, but I have singled them out separately because they are also responsible for other tasks. 3. NFT Marketplaces and listings There are already marketplaces where various NFT projects can sell their ideas and tokens. They are diverse, so try to choose the ones that will fit (if they do) under the features of your project. Among the largest NFT marketplaces, for example: - OpenSea - SuperRare - Rarible - Makers Place Learn which of the marketplaces you might like or create your own. In the second option, do not forget to place your own marketplace in various lists of NFT marketplaces and projects. 4. Interface. Collaborations A little tip: try to make the most convenient and functional interface through which the user will buy and sell your NFT. For this purpose, for example, I have a special UX/UI specialist in my team who evaluates the usability of a particular service of our clients. Ideally, even a user far from crypto should understand how to simply buy and sell, without understanding the features of ERC-721 or other standards, blockchains and everything related. A good example is how the FLOW project did in its . NBA Top Shot What is also remarkable about FLOW is high-profile collaborations: for example, the NBA and the UFC. Most of the collectors, even perhaps, do not yet know that they buy NFT. This is a very successful onboarding. 5. AMA sessions for NFT AMA sessions work very well. They help to introduce the community to the project, to understand the concept more deeply, to see the project leaders and executives, how they respond, what their plans are. First, you should hold AMA sessions in large Telegram chats and YouTube channels to attract new users to yourself. Then, to do internal AMAs inside your community in Telegram and Discord. A little tip: don't forget to prepare interesting rewards for the community, so that the AMA process is more engaging and more people participate (and also there are more ways to promote such AMAs). 6. Influencers (KOL) for NFT Advertising with opinion leaders and influencers is important, but it does not always bring instant results. Often, the audience of an influencer needs to hear about you somewhere else (especially if it's before he talks about you) before becoming part of your community. Sometimes the influencer itself does not bring a lot of new audiences, but for the old one, it is a plus - that opinion leader speaks about the project that they follow. Always try to find the best option between the price that the influencer asks and the number of views/comments under his video. In general, this tool will not be superfluous. 7. PR for NFT Of course, the more media writes about you, the better. Try to get into different publications and in different formats - from full articles about your project to mentions among others, interviews, and quotes. In addition to crypto media, you can also work with general media, depending on the specifics of the project. Well, you should not expect instant results either. This is rather a necessary measure to maintain the reputation, and only then to attract a new additional community. 8. Banners for NFT For some projects, banner advertising works great. You can place banners on large sites like CoinTelegraph, CoinGecko, and so on, as well as on more niche sites dedicated to NFT. This is not a primary measure, but if there is an additional budget, then at least try it. Conclusion You can also come up with more individual and non-standard ways of promotion for NFT projects, but everything depends on the specifics of a particular project. However, as we said at the beginning, it is possible that . Therefore, if you have chosen such a path for yourself, let as many people as possible know about it! Non Fungible Tokens will change entire industries In the meantime, if you have any questions about NFT or you are an NFT / DeFi / crypto project and want to know more how to promote you project, you can always contact me via Telegram (@baloyan) or LinkedIn.

Alec Couros, one fantastic educational technologist, who recently also got his tenure at University of Regina, finally went viral officially on YouTube with his medley "Alec Goes Viral".
Curious as I am, I watched it, but could only decipher two of the videos / songs that he imitated.
The first one was really easy as it was "Numa Numa", a YouTube classic.
The second segment in his short video is a musical drive-thru order. The one original that I know best is RhettandLink's "Fast Food Folk Song". They have been doing some pretty funny songs including commercials for local businesses.
The third video in Alec's medley is still a mystery to me. Any hints?
