To celebrate International Womens Day, we talk with one of our female Ambassadors, Bonita Norris. In 2012 Bonita became the youngest woman to reach the North Pole & Everest. She tells us about how sport has made her who she is today and the importance of sport programmes to inspire children. Bonita has also visited Nepal several times, attempting to climb some of the world's largest mountains there. Nepal experiences mass gender inequality on a global scale and Play for change, through its sport programme, has set up women empowerment projects. Bonita talks about her experiences of Nepal and some of the inequalities that she has witnessed.
How has sport impacted on who you are today?
Sport has helped me to become my most confident, content and energised self! Being a confident woman gives me the trust in myself to challenge sexism, stand up for myself, others, and for what I think is right. Having a skill unlocks so many more opportunities; for me, mountaineering has taken me to some of the most incredible places on earth, introduced me to lifelong friends and even introduced me to my fiancé. Sport transforms lives and I owe everything to my sport of climbing.
Is sport encouraged differently between males and females?
I've been lucky to have grown up with strong values of equality, but I know there are millions of young girls around the world who would say the exact opposite. Girls tend to get less encouragement than boys do of committing to sport throughout their lives; it's not so culturally ingrained like playing football, rugby or cricket is for boys. Sport is important for everyone! Therefore encouraging females, as well as males, to play sport is key so that everyone can benefit from the power of sport.
Adventurists and tourists travel from all over the world to visit Nepal, a country renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and impressive landscapes. Tell us about your experiences there:
I always feel like I'm back to my spiritual home when I get the chance to visit Nepal. I've been lucky to visit Nepal 5 times. My first trip was in 2009 when I attempted to climb Mt Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world. Nepal is a beautiful country where the power of nature is felt everywhere. The people of Nepal are gentle and kind and I always feel like I'm back to my spiritual home when I get the chance to visit.
Nepal experiences a high amount of gender inequality on a global scale, have you witnessed any inequality in Nepal?
On Everest, the' Sherpas' are almost always men. I personally have never met a female 'sherpa' on a mountain, so there is obviously a stark inequality there. I imagine that's because culturally the job is deemed too dangerous for a woman. So many assumptions about the abilities and physical strength of a woman will have to change before we start seeing female sherpas on the summit of Everest as the norm- I'm sure it will happen, but not any time soon.
In recent times I have seen some hugely inspirational Nepalese women making waves on the global stage, encouraging a more gender equal environment. I see a big difference between the generation growing up today and the generation before them; young woman are starting to understand their rights more. The biggest changes are coming through grass roots projects such as the Play for Change Khelaun Khelaun sport programme, where the whole community is involved in the design and delivery of the project. Through Play for Change, the local people have been able to put on specific women empowerment workshops, which are so important in helping to create a culture of change.
Tell us about one of those hugely inspiring Nepalese women
Mira Rai is probably the woman who most comes to mind- she had a tough upbringing and is passionate about equality in Nepal. I am hugely inspired by her, not only for her sporting achievements but because she has had to work so hard. Mira Rai was awarded People Choice Adventurer of the Year through the National Geographic.
What advice would you give to others thinking of trying a new sport?
My advice is for anyone thinking of taking up a sport should join a club in your local area and just show up every week. You'd make new friends, learn new skills and get fitter at the same time. Commit to going at least 5 times before you decide whether you like the club and the sport they play. The coaches will motivate you, and get you moving.
The Play for Change sport programmes are a great example of how sport enables children to learn key life skills, meet new friends, and gain confidence they need for exciting futures.
'If we can show young people how sport can be such a vital and enjoyable part of their lives we would start to see the next generation suffering from fewer physical and mental issues, and far more equipped to compete on the world stage and be happy and fulfilled in their every day lives.'
'So many thousands of young people's potential is going unrealised'
Bonita's link to Nepal, her passion for sport and her enthusiasm to get more children to learn through sport, makes her an empowering ambassador and we are proud to have her to help us inspire the next generation.
Watch Bonita Norris on Facebook as she hosts a live discussion with adventurous women, answering your questions about travel, adventure and sharing stories and advice from the most remote corners of the planet... And the less remote too. Get inspired and get involved by watching and sending your questions though.

I have finished my first year of university as of 8pm tonight, where I completed my last exam :) so very happy! It was a year of change, new experiences and opportunities. I met some great people and have changed so much since high school. I love the openness and freedom university life gives me, when it is over I will miss its flexible schedule. Although I won't miss the stress, 3 months away from it is a long time, but the excitement to go back will escalate as these months pass. As a bonus, I think I did alright with my exams and assessment, results will tell however. So grateful for everyone I've met and for what I've learnt in this past year. :)
That being said, i'm also excited that it is now Summer and Christmas is nearing..
|Sunbaking...with sunscreen of course
|Fun in the pool!
|Relaxing on hot summer days
|My goal this summer is to be able to drink a beer. Will let you know how I go!
Good luck to those that still have exams!

Patient Handouts
Recommendations for patients suffering with: ATOPIC DERMATITIS / ECZEMA OR HIVES
Dreft laundry detergent for kids / All Free & Clear for adults
Double rinse cycle for laundry
Dove for Sensitive Skin bar soap- light green box
Eucerin (sold in the jar) mixed w/ OTC mineral oil (found in laxative aisle) to form a paste – apply after bath
No fabric softener
Johnson Baby shampoo
Bathe every other day in tepid water – shower best, but if must be in tub then for < 10 min
Avoid any scented skin creams, body washes or lotions
GERD & Your Lifestyle
Lifestyle changes may help reduce the frequency of heartburn and symptoms that may be related to GERD like cough. Consider trying:
Maintain a healthy weight. Excess pounds put pressure on your abdomen, pushing on your stomach and causing acid to back up in your esophagus. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain it. If you are overweight or obese, work to slowly lose weight – no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week. Ask your doctor for help devising a weight loss strategy that will work for you.
Avoid tight fitting clothing. Clothes that fit tightly around your waist put pressure on your abdomen and the lower esophageal sphincter.
Avoid foods that trigger heartburn. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion and caffeine may make heartburn worse.
Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least 3 hrs before lying down or going to bed after a meal.
Elevate the head of your bed. An elevation of about 6-9 inches puts gravity to work for you. Placing wood blocks or cement blocks under the feet of the head of your bed. If it's not possible to elevate your bed, you can insert a wedge between your mattress and box springs to elevate your body from the waist up. Wedges are available at drugstores or medical supply stores.
Don't smoke. Smoking decreases the lower esophageal sphincter's ability to function properly allowing acid to creep up into the esophagus.
Be complaint with GERD medications.

Great history and one of the best sites in LondonFlag review
Every time I go to London, I make it a point to visit the Tower of London. it is one of my favorite destinations. The family will especially enjoy it, especially the girls. The best part of it is the tour of the crown jewels, which every girl likes :) The tower guides, known as Beef-eaters, are very knowledgeable and will share the history and story of the place. One special event that happens every night is the key ceremony. This is where they lock the Tower of London each night. it is a ceremony that few people get to see. You have to reserve your tickets well in advance and they do not publicize it greatly, so check it out.

Beefeaters, Ravens, and Jewels, Oh My!Flag review
The Tower is a great attraction for families--less so for those with younger kids, though kids from 4-5 on up should enjoy it. My kids were more impressed with the Crown Jewels than they thought they'd be, loved the beefeaters, who were full of great stories, and also really enjoyed the Royal Beasts exhibit, about all the animals (elephants, tigers, snakes, monkeys) that had been kept at the Tower for 600 years of its history.
Tips for Families
Don't be put off by the long lines to see the Crown Jewels--the line moves pretty quickly, except in the high season of the summer months. You can't miss these! Be sure to check out the Tower's website before you go: there are games, activities, and printables for kids as well as information about baby change facilities, family-friendly tours, storytelling times, and special activities during school holidays.

Class Action Implementation Group
Boston, MA
We recently had the opportunity to shoot a great event for the Class Action Implementation Group at the Omni Parker Hotel in Boston. After years of working on a class action lawsuit for EPA union employees who'd been denied proper pay, CAIG and Snider Associates LLC finally secured their compensation. We were brought on to capture the celebratory mood and tight bonds between the union members as they received money that many said would help them pay bills, save for retirement, and even splurge on long overdue vacations!

Lifted rudely from her very impressive and very new Expressway (Coach House) Sina Queyras's Cloverleaf, Medians & Means is, like the Christian god, a three-parter with two embodiments plus an absent animus. The piece begins as a dialogic between A & B. Now A & B, as we know, often represent integers, and integers, as we know even more so, are always whole numbers whose elements are well-ordered, and whose ordering moves by addition. Addition is, as we've come to understand, our current fundamental problem: there's too much of us, which leaves us with too little. And so A & B tell a story of infrastructure and the infra mince, wherein transubstantiations are diced and dicey, and there's no comfort in the modern. Or there's a specifically feminist discomfort in the way the mandate to make new has been embodied in the man:
A: Once was income levels measurements of perceived
Noise levels, probability of pollutants, percentage
Of truck traffic, thyroid levels and runoff acceptable, such
B: Levels! Much analysis of sentiment, surveys done, no
Lack of suitable data, measure location, men in overalls
Smoking, pavement uneven, concrete dividers zipping
A: and unzipping
I used the past tense, though should have stayed stuck in the present, for it's the current that's under critique here. Throughout the poem, these zipping and unzipping barriers—primarily to sentiment (though Queyras is invoking what Christine Buci-Gluckmann more accurately called the "senti-mental," or felt cognition) and Euclidian specificity, i.e., to words and poems that play on all our stuttering registers—are pitched as a lopsided argument. There are no points between A&B. To this end, gerunds run into one another with a few well-wrought seams along our toll road, and the "ing" most frequently conjured is the terrible and banal "noth-" (What we make solid: nothing. What we invest in: / Nothing. / What we vote for: nothing.) But even in this select lament Queyras gives a nod to the slick and sexy substance of our absence:
A: Who can resist / the slide of modernity, of being elsewhere always, ahead of
Oneself, texting oneself—not to bring modernity into the poem,
Pristine modernity, the dream—but modernity leaks, modernity
B: Is uncontainable, because trans-nationalism presents no barriers
To the acquisition of self, or lease of self, layaway-plan self, because
Every transaction, even the most minute, considers
The implications of transactions, we don't care for smooth rides,
We care for opportunities to change, you see? Liberty is
A: Defense of fees. The ability to charge a fee, liberty is worth
B: Changing for (we all agree)…
As you can see, all this ongoingness is goosed ahead by implanted end and internal rhymes, kept in close feet so the reader ticks to the mod metronome no matter what other siren calls (This poem stinks of dynamite. / There are ideas here you may not like.) But sirens will make you scoot to one side, and after a clipped back and forth echo (again, there's no dialogue, or chorus, not properly, it's a relay being run here, and in circles—the cloverleaf has no exit in either existential or exeunt terms), our integers combine to liturgize a list of commercial posts for commercial carriers, including Caution wide right turns, We hire safe drivers, and If you see something, say something. Practical pledges that read as red-ready campaign promises, more so as followed by a nod to Foucault, or Foucaultean anxiety (It's the order of things that keeps her up at night). This "she," as well as an errant "he" become proper placeholders: she serves as a finger that acts as a figure (pointing exists / The idea of everything), and he sets up a series of "shelves" that become selves, hung with harrowed hope, Christian by implication, nailed, gashed, and prone to transubstantiation, metaphorpoesis, that is.
(Clover denoting the trinity, and the good fortune in which you hope to be.)
Our messianic gash now flirts with Lacan, transsexing into pootangs and protrusions, then turning literally bold as A&B turn, like buds, to beauty. I'm over-indulging in name-dropping, like a rube at a posh party, but they're all here, nibbling crudités, honing elbows, swapping bon mots and bone motes like it's the middle of December, after the harvest, and now we've got Duchamp as Rrose Sélavy, because the ordinary is pronounced as basically beautiful as life itself as it triggers the tightening at the back of the knee. Ergo: Remain. The last word, and godamn if it's not the command to stay.
And this remain leads to the other hand, A Memorable Fancy, where coda is punctuation, wherein our integers have been resolved into a she and he, our very own Didi and Gogo in thigh boots. She's full of questions about how to get out, how to escape this constituency of self (while stepping over empty things that multiply underfoot), and he speaks, with an elephant's unfortunately unforgetful mouth (Time is not as tame as you believe…). She presses the point, asking explicitly for guidance, a way to move on, and there's a voice from a bigger and broken font that tells her she's got all tools of the trade for finding one's way, that is to say, meaning, and it's menial, really, back-breaking stuff, digging, or hijacking, either which will work, or wont', for there's every chance of coming up empty. Flipping us up to Sisyphus, patron saint of poets and those who gather in groups:
It's been done before? / Yes, but not necessarily by better.
True and true enough.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Notice is hereby given by the Law Office of Alfred G. Yates Jr., P.C. that it has filed a class action the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. ("Ubiquiti") (Nasdaq: UBNT) common stock during the period between October 14, 2011 and August 9, 2012 (the "Class Period"), and/or who acquired Ubiquiti common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company's October 14, 2011 initial public offering ("IPO").
If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Alfred G. Yates Jr., Esquire at 1-800-391-5164, toll free, or at firstname.lastname@example.com by e-mail. Please visit http://yatesclassactionlaw.com for more information. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 6, 2012.
The complaint charges Ubiquiti, certain of its officers and directors and the underwriters of its IPO with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period and in the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the IPO, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business practices and financial results. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose negative trends in Ubiquiti's business, including widespread problems associated with counterfeit versions of its AirMax wireless gear being made available to the market. As a result of defendants' false statements, Ubiquiti stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $35 per share on May 1, 2012.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Ubiquiti common stock during the Class Period and/or who acquired Ubiquiti common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company's October 14, 2011 IPO.
The firm is also investigating actions on behalf of shareholders for the following companies: American Greetings Corp. (NYSE: AM); American Realty Capital Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARCT); Audience, Inc.

Anyone who's ever made an online purchase from a vendor without a physical store has likely faced this doubt: how to trust the entity on the other side of the transaction? Add to that the risk of purchasing relatively expensive but little-known hardware imported directly from China by an internet reseller. Are your Spider senses tingling yet?
That was certainly how I felt last year, as I plunked down a cool $1K to purchase the Yiynova MVP22U (v2) tablet monitor from their U.S. distributor The Panda City.
At the very least, I was able to take comfort in the fact that The Panda City has an Amazon storefront so worst case I could get a refund from Jeff Bezos if the product failed to show up or work as advertised.
My fears were certainly justified when the first unit I received started acting up within days of the unboxing.
But only a couple of hours after submitting an RMA request, The Panda City's customer service person Vicki (I wonder if that's her real name or a catch-all Americanized name for their support team?) arranged to send out a replacement. When it arrived at my door a week later, I just boxed up the defective unit and attached the pre-paid return label.
Fast forward seven months and the second Yiynova monitor developed a similar problem (image flashing on and off).
I gritted my teeth as I completed the RMA request form found on The Panda City website. Surely this time I'd have to send the monitor in for them to diagnose the issue and either fix or replace it.
But within an hour of pressing send on my email, there was a response back from Vicki. She apologized profusely for the problem and told me a new monitor would be shipped via Fedex the following morning.
And a week later, the new unit (sporting updated firmware) arrived at my doorstep. To top it off, inside were a pair of Yiynova artist's gloves and a new pen as an apology for the down time.
I guess I could be upset that two monitors have failed on me, but that's an issue with Yiynova. Have any of you experienced similar issues with their products? Let us know in the comments section below.
In the meantime, I choose to focus on the laudatory customer service I received from The Panda City. They and Vicki could have given me a hard time or expected me to send my monitor in first. Instead, they just took my word for it, expedited delivery and sent me a valuable bonus as well.
(Cynics among you may wonder whether they merely offered me special treatment because of my blog's reach. I don't think that's the case. I didn't identify myself as SurfaceProArtist when I submitted the RMA request and this site's reach was a tenth of its current size during the first incident late last year).
Needless to say, The Panda City has earned a happy customer who looks forward to shopping from them again. Just imagine how much better our tech lives would be if most major vendors took such proactive care of their clientele?

Cadillac Previews Future Flagship Styling in Ciel 4-door Convertible
Cadillac Concept Ciel Image Gallery We've heard lately that Cadillac has approved the development of a true flagship model (not to be confused with the neo-DTS that is next year's XTS sedan). The new car will gun for luxury heavyweights such as the S-Class Mercedes, 7-series BMW, and Audi A8. While we might have thought that a flagship Cadillac would try to ape the proportions, feel, and Teutonic mission of these cars, Cadillac has thrown us for a loop with today's unveiling of the Ciel concept convertible. While the Ciel (French for sky) is a nod back at the 4-door convertibles of the past, if you squint a bit you can see what is really being shown off here. This is a statement by Cadillac that their future product offensive will not shy away from what made a Cadillac a uniquely American expression of luxury. Additionally, this is also a preview of some of the styling elements that will make their way into a future flagship sedan. Interestingly, this design seems to marry the current Art & Science design motif with the classic lines of Cadillacs of the 1960's - we see more than a hint of the 60's Eldorado convertibles in the lines of this new car - suggesting a slight change in Cadillac's styling direction that more faithfully recreates some of the glory day look. Truth be told, we'd like to see this toned down a bit and sticking a bit closer to the look Cadillac has captured with the current CTS line - but the truth of the new styling direction likely lives between these two extremes. Powered by a twin-turbo 3.6l V-6 with direct injection and 425hp, this likely not only previews the top engine of the upcoming flagship, but may also be showing us what power might be under the hood of the upcoming ATS-V competitor to the BMW M3 as well. Riding on a 125" wheelbase on 22" wheels - the 203" long convertible is a grand Cadillac like we have not seen in a while and is within spitting distance of the size of the long-wheelbase versions of the current Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-Series. Tone down the front styling and put a sedan roof on this car and you might have a pretty good impression of where Cadillac is headed. We're excited to see where Cadillac is going with this car and expect we'll see something along these lines in a few years. Check out these videos, the first talking to the design team that brought this car to life and the second giving lots of beauty shots of the car on the California coast that inspired the 4-door/4-seat convertible's design. Enjoy.

ArtLAB Residency
Mountain Lake Biological Station, Pembroke, Virginia
Summer 2015
I had the great fortune to spend 2 weeks as an artist in residence at the Mountain Lake Biological Station on top of Saltpond Mountain in the southern Appalachians in Virginia as part of the ArtLAB Residency program. The station is surrounded by incredible forestland with many interesting habitats for studies in field ecology. It sits right on the Continental Divide, right between the Atlantic and Mississippi drainage system.
The ArtLAB Residency has been going now for three years. This year, the crew consisted of four other artists and five undergraduate art students from the University of Virginia. We had the great fortune of sharing the station and many meals with biologists from all over the country. A true gathering of curious minds.
I decided to focus my time there building on a collaboration I am currently doing with Christian Gentry, a composer who uses found sounds to build compositions with. Using his approach, but focusing on weather, I spend most of my time listening and creating sketched storyboards that track the sounds I was hearing. This ended up in a series of drawings I am currently working on that track rain and wind movements across the station – based not on a meteorological instrument, but on my own ears and sense of direction.
The most important lesson I learned is how hard it is to summarize a sound into a visual mark. Working very quickly, I had to find a short hand system of marks to notate the direction, quality, resonance and pitch of the sounds I was hearing. The ear can pick up nuances and layers that the visual mark just can't tab into. In that perhaps obvious realization lies the potential for many artistic explorations I am eager to embark on.

The piece begs the question: Would you give a kidney (or bone marrow or tissue, etc.)? For most of us, we will never be asked. For some of us the answer would be "yes". For some of us, the answer would be "no". This donor had siblings who were also perfect matches ... but the only one to say "yes".

§ 5. Mr. Illsley
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what action he intends to take to ensure an equitable distribution of revenue support grant for 1998–99; and what proposals he has for future years. [4668]
§ The Minister for Local Government and Housing (Ms Hilary Armstrong)
We are discussing with the Local Government Association possible improvements to the calculation of standard spending assessment.
§ Mr. Illsley
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that reply. May I impress upon her the importance of achieving some redistribution of revenue support grant for the financial year beginning next April? I appreciate that she is talking to local government associations, but I hope that some action can be taken in the short term, with further consultation for future years, to try to get rid of the unfairness of SSAs. I know that my hon. Friend has received several representations that have produced ideas for redistribution and I hope that she will take the ideas on board.
§ Ms Armstrong
We are considering all the suggestions that are being made, both for the short term and for the long term. As my hon. Friend knows, we are committed to achieving as fair a distribution as possible. If, however, I took all the representations on board, I would have to work one against another because some are directly contradictory. We are determined to work to ensure that some of the gross unfairnesses that were apparent in last year's distribution are not apparent in future.
§ Mr. Chope
Everybody is in favour of equitable distribution of grant, but will the Minister tell the House 96 which local authorities she considers are receiving too much grant? Before she joins the predictable chorus of "Westminster", will she accept that if Westminster had no grant, every other local authority would have an increase in grant of only 1 per cent. Local authorities throughout the country that think that Westminster's grant will be redistributed to them are living in a fool's paradise.
§ Ms Armstrong
I think that the hon. Gentleman has accepted the gross unfairness of the previous settlement, which we shall try to address.

Flip through any designer magazine or blog and you'll see completed room photos staged beautifully with a fiddle leaf fig perched regally in the corner of your dream house.
It happens all the time. It seems that this trend has held its title for a good while now and I wish I could speak personally on the merits of owning one. But I don't because I kill green things. With the exception of a few immortal pothos plants and succulents, my larger house plants are fake... Faux. It sounds better. Faux Fauna. Faux sho'.
Part of the reasoning behind me not buying one is that they're pricey house trees. If you buy a grown fig they can be upwards of several hundred dollars. I can't murder that much money. You can grab smaller, table plant sized baby figgies for around $20, but then you have to wait for it to grow to have that staged designer home style punch. And you're not supposed to kill it. Thus my problem.
Feast your eyes. You can put one in any room. From an all white spa bathroom, to a bohemian styled living room, even in a rustic glam dining room, interior design begs that you bring green into the decor. If you do fall in love with one after taking a peak at the slider below and decide to adopt one, here is a brief how-to on Fiddle Leaf Fig parenting from Apartment Therapy.
Water your fig tree when only the top inch of soil is dry. Test this by sticking your finger in the soil. Pretty soon you'll figure out about how often you need to water. Keep in mind that this may fluctuate based on seasonal humidity, etc.
Keep your fiddle leaf fig in bright, indirect light. In other words, you want it to have a lot of light, but not sunbeams falling directly on it.
Fertilize once a month during growing seasons, but not in winter.
Repotting or Trimming the Root Ball
When roots begin to grow out of the bottom of the pot, either re-pot into a container that's a couple inches bigger or trim the rootball, being sure not to reduce the roots by more than 20 percent. (This latter option also keeps the plant from getting too big, if that's a concern).
Cleaning the Leaves
Because of their large surface, fiddle leaf fig leaves tend to collect a lot of dust. To keep the plant healthy (dust can block light absorption), wipe dust off with a soft cloth.

Printer problems

I just bought a canon pixma series printer/fax/scanner/copier. I went through all of the setup and now I'm trying to print and my macbook pro does not recognize it.
I go to print, then select 'add printer' from the 'no printer selected' drop down menu.
I go the 'more printers' tab on the following screen and the drop down menu at the top of that screen reads 'canon IJ network,' which seems correct, but there isn't a printer available to select. Nothing else in that drop down menu is applicable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're an event management agency
We understand that you're in the business of delivering events for your clients that give their delegates a great experience and give them outstanding value and a measurable return on the investment they've made.
A big part of that process is the technology.
You can have your own branded platform that let's you set up customised event sites which include delegate registration and engagement. No need to start from scratch every time, worry about data collection, storage and security and no need to organise web hosting...we've got all that covered.
With your own platform you can set up each client with their own account, keep their contacts in one place, create multiple events and manage the whole delegate registration and engagement process.
Will there be any Mitingu branding?
None at all. It's your platform with your branding. We don't want to confuse delegates or dilute your brand by placing our our logos anywhere, no matter how small we make them.
Can we use our own domain names?
Yes, absolutely. You choose the domain name you want to use for your platform. You can also use custom domain names for your clients' event sites too.
How much does it cost?
There is a set up and configuration charge, then a monthly payment. If you know how many events per year you run and want the option to create adhoc smaller events such as internal sales meetings from time to time then this is the perfect option. It allows you to accurately budget and split the overall costs over monthly payments.

Kelso's Advanced Sports Betting: Don't Fall in Love with Browns Yet
Submitted by Kelso Sturgeon on Friday, August 10, 2018 at 12:00 PM
After watching the Cleveland Browns' victory over the New York Giants Thursday night on the NFL Network, I have one thing to say to students here in my College of Advanced Sports Betting and Handicapping. Don't fall in love with the Browns yet!
Now, they might be a good betting team through August. No doubt about that. There's a lot of new enthusiasm within the franchise. And, they appear to finally have some quarterbacks who know what they're doing. But, please remember all of the following.
*Upgrading from "D" on the report card to "B-minus" doesn't mean you're suddenly an "A" caliber quarterback. Once the regular season starts, the Browns will still be worse at that position than many other teams unless Baker Mayfield develops extremely quickly. Most rookies don't. We know what Tyrod Taylor can do. He's a "B-minus" at best, probably worse vs. quality opposition.
*Bringing effort in the Preseason can create the illusion of quality if you're facing opponents who are just working on timing and fundamentals. To me, Cleveland's win over the New York Giants means nothing for the regular season. Though, if Eli Manning gets hurt and Davis Webb has to play quarterback…you can be sure I'll be fading the G-men.
For some reason, there's a lot of betting interest in the Browns here in Las Vegas this summer. Their Regular Season Win Total is six…which is very high for a team that went 1-31 the last two seasons! Not four. Not five. But six (with some extra vigorish on the Under at the full six). To win an Over bet, the Browns must get to seven victories, which is almost a .500 record. Can a team go from 1-31 to almost .500 caliber that fast?
Answering that question is your homework assignment this weekend. It will be slightly different than normal because we're going to focus on personnel instead of stats or point spread results. Here's what I want you to do.
*First, go back to last year's two-deep, and assign a letter grade to each position. I've already told you that "D" makes sense at quarterback. You might disagree…but it won't be by much. Do that for each position. That's 11 on offense, 11 on defense, plus the punter and the place kicker.
*Second, go through this season's projected two-deep based on the lineups that played Thursday in New York. You'll see right away that there's been a lot of important personnel turnover. That's a good sign for improvement, but not necessarily a good sign for winning seven games. Pencil in what you expect report card grades to be this season. Obviously, this is educated guesswork. If you're attending my coursework here at this website, you're qualified to make educated guesses.
*Finally, make an evaluation. Does that collection of projected 2018 letter grades add up to…
A playoff contender?
A .500 caliber team?
A 4-12 also-ran?
Another disastrous disappointment?
I'm going to guess the last one is off the table. If the team starts 0-4, the head coach will be fired, and his replacement might be able to get the Browns to 4-12. You can make your own call on that.
I want you to focus on the Browns because opportunities could arise one way or the other with this team all season. If they really HAVE improved significantly, it will take forever for the wagering public to buy it. You'll make good money backing the Browns until the line catches up. Think about this for a second, Cleveland has a Regular Season Win Total of six…but they're still getting +6 or +7 at home against Pittsburgh in Week One. Those don't line up. That's the same as -9 or -10 on a neutral field, or -12 to -13 in Pittsburgh. Teams that are +12 at Pittsburgh aren't 6-10 caliber.
On the other hand, if the Browns are still going to be horrible, you can still fade them just like you did last year. A bad, unprepared version of the Browns would lose at home to Pittsburgh by around 10, and on the road by 14-17 or more. Odds makers are pricing some improvement into the team already in week-by-week lines. Maybe that improvement shouldn't be there. Beating the disinterested Giants in early August doesn't mean you're ready for a great rival in September.
I'll let my customers know next week if Cleveland deserves another look in preseason action. Local Wise Guys cleaned up Thursday, as that line moved all the way from Cleveland +3 to Cleveland -1 through the week. If you'd like to be a paying customer, KELSO STURGEON'S BEST BETS can be purchased right here at the website with your credit card. Make a few clicks and have your credit card ready.
Questions about extended service and combination packages can be answered in the Vegas Sports Masters office by calling office at 1-888-777-4155 during normal business hours. I know some of you prefer focusing on just one sport when you handicap. If you're looking at his as investors, you can see why attacking every sport makes sense. If you have an edge (and, I believe I provide an edge), then you want to be in action whenever your edge is in play.
The Dean of Sports Handicapping greatly your attendance. I know you're excited to have pro football back on the betting calendar. College football will be here in just a few weeks. That means we'll be increasing our college football class load very soon. Baseball is about to go on the back burner in our coursework because so many more people bet football than baseball. I will check back in on the bases in time for the MLB playoffs. See you Monday.

Social Media Ugly Ducklings: Can They Turn Into Swans?
Some interesting research here from the always interesting Hub. The data purports to debunk the very notion that brands can form consumer communities using social media. The survey of Hub readers shows that while 70% of respondents feel a sense of community as Apple customers, only 30% get the same feeling from Amazon. Similarly 71% of TOMS customers feel like they're part of a broader TOMS community whereas only 29% have the same feeling about Warby-Parker.
Hub's conclusion: "For most brands, the notion that they offer anything remotely like a sense of community is a nonstarter." Therefore — or so the reasoning goes here — if brands want to create true loyalty among their customer bases they're better off using tried-and-true tactics like competitive pricing and ad campaigns, not social media.
There's a problem with this analysis. On the one hand it's true that some brands, like Starbuck's and Whole Foods, are disposed to creating communities simply by virtue of what they are: coffee shops where people are inclined to hang out and high-end grocery stores that draw like-minded consumers. Other types of brands like cable TV channels and online shoe sellers don't have the same natural attraction.
And that's really the only thing this research is measuring: the degree to which some brands naturally inspire communities to coalesce around them. Some brands are born attractive, the data shows, others aren't. Does it mean you're out of luck if your company happens to sell marine insurance? Nope. Because a little effort can create a community of any kind. If there's a market for it you can educate consumers about it, and by extension create a community around it. That is, if you're willing and able to provide the flow of content, ideas and incentives it takes to attract and retain an audience.
So you have to work to form your community. Is that such a bad thing? With a little creativity, time and attention a plain — even homely — brand can have the same shine as one that was born beautiful.

Salvaging the U.S.-Turkish Alliance| May 16, 2017
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet President Donald Trump as a frustrated and disappointed man. His hopes for a clean slate after strained relations with President Barack Obama have been dashed as Trump has endorsed his predecessor's policies against key Turkish demands. Importantly, Trump last week approved an Obama era plan to arm Syrian Kurds in preparation for the upcoming battle to retake Raqqa from ISIS.
U.S. cooperation with the Y.P.G., the main Syrian Kurdish militia that Turkey considers a terrorist organization linked to the P.K.K., became a major bone of contention between Washington and Ankara when the previous U.S. administration decided to drop weapons and ammunition to Kurdish forces defending the northern Syrian town of Kobani against ISIS in 2014. Ankara was hoping that it would find a more sympathetic ear on the Syrian Kurds in Trump's White House, but Trump's decision deals an even bigger blow to bilateral ties. The extradition of Fethullah Gulen, another key demand of Ankara after Turkey accused the Pennsylvania-based cleric of orchestrating the failed coup last summer, could have made it easier for Ankara to swallow the bitter Y.P.G. pill. But Trump is poised to disappoint his Turkish counterpart on that as well.
Erdogan is also likely to raise the pending trial of Reza Zarrab, a Turkish-Iranian gold trader who has been jailed in New York on charges of violating U.S. sanctions on Iran, with Trump. In 2013, Zarrab was detained by Turkish authorities, only to be released shortly after, in a wide-ranging corruption investigation of businessmen with close ties to Erdogan. The Turkish president has taken a personal interest in his release, but the prospects of Erdogan securing his release are slim.
Returning home empty-handed at a time when his legitimacy has been weakened, and his popularity is shrinking would provoke a strong response from Erdogan, who often scores points at home with his defiant tone against the West. But this time, his options are limited. Turkey has threatened to step up military action against the Syrian Kurds, but that would be too risky given the presence of U.S. forces patrolling the Turkish-Syrian border. If they are accidentally hit by Turkish strikes, Turkey-U.S. relations will suffer another major blow, especially after Erdogan advisor's remarks threatening to hit U.S. troops.
Turkish officials have made a veiled threat to ground U.S. warplanes at Incirlik airbase, but shutting down the base would cost Turkey one of the few levers it has over Washington, and the Turks know it. Slowing counterterrorism cooperation, as hinted by some Turkish officials, is not viable either since it would hurt Turkey at a time when it is fighting a two-front war against the P.K.K. and ISIS.
Instead, Turkey could step up its military attacks against P.K.K. targets in the northern Iraqi city of Sinjar in an effort to prevent the P.K.K. from gaining further ground there. Ankara is worried that, with Iran's help, the P.K.K. will turn Sinjar into a logistical base with access into northern Syria.
Erdogan could also pull the "Russia card." Ankara is engaged in negotiations to procure the Russian-made S-400 air defense system. Last month, the Turkish defense minister announced that the talks about the purchase have reached a "final stage." At a time when tensions between NATO and Russia are high, Turkey's decision is seen as a snub to the alliance.
Turkey is an important country in the fight against ISIS. To prevent the Turkey-U.S. alliance from sliding into the abyss, Trump has to offer Erdogan something. He might not accommodate Turkey's demands on the Y.P.G., Fethullah Gulen or Reza Zarrab, but there are things that he can do to mitigate some of Ankara's concerns.
To reassure Turkey that the United States is still committed to its NATO ally's security, Washington should double down on support for Turkey's fight against the P.K.K. It could offer further intelligence assistance, and pressure its European allies to curb funding channels to the P.K.K. Given Turkey's concerns over the P.K.K. presence in Sinjar, the United States could use its leverage over the Syrian Kurds, the Kurdistan Regional Government, and Baghdad to remove the P.K.K. from Sinjar.
Offering Patriot missile systems at a price acceptable to Turkey, and agreeing to share technology would not only please Ankara, but also help keep Turkey within the Western alliance's defense arrangement.
After years of dragging his feet in confronting ISIS, the close cooperation between the United States and the Syrian Kurds, and the subsequent stalemate in Turkey-U.S. relations might be Erdogan's own making. But Washington cannot afford to lose an ally like Turkey, no matter how bewildering the actions of that ally.
Trump's decision to arm the Syrian Kurds is likely to haunt Turkey-U.S. relations for years to come. It will also feed deep-rooted perceptions within Turkish society that the West wants to carve out a Kurdish state. Regardless of how creative Trump is with his damage-control moves when he meets Erdogan, a great deal of anti-Americanism within Turkey is likely to remain. But efforts to reassure Ankara might keep Erdogan onboard until a lasting solution to the current crisis is found.

A lot of the less negative posters don't hang here anymore.
I meant in the GD threads.
A lot of people feel that way. Look at the decrease in gameday participation for an example of this
If you are counting me as someone who "left", it had nothing to do with WNFF. Just out of town for awhile.
Maybe I'm completely wrong about the whole thing. But I don't think you can work it to a happy medium, Chief. I think it'll have it's ebb, and maybe flow. I'm going to try and experiment Wednesday, I'll put the panic monkeys on ignore and see what it looks like. But the forum in general is a HUGE positive experience.
I'll make my comeback this off season and definitely next season. Until then, terrible 2's are not to be ignored.
I understand people are going to be negative - it's natural. And I approve and encourage "constructive" negative comments - talking about how Bryce ain't so hot right now, that Gio can't find the strike zone, whatever. That's conversation - and I enjoy it. What I REALLY hate people calling "game" at any point before the end of a game - or any other similar comments. It's just pointless, completely negative in most situations and not constructive in any way shape or form. But misery loves company. I don't know how you can "stop" these people from just complaining and bringing each other down. I'll just do my part and cheer the Nats on. Keep it positive!
I'm super-negative during games but that's just how I cope when crap sucks. If I just stay optimistic and they still suck, I'll be even more dissapointed. Just tempering my emotions
Have a GDT thread for the SSS and one of the negative crew. Easy fix
