The shuttle to the train station was extremely useful. Our room had a very comfortable bed and the staff was exceptional. It might have been more convenient if the concierge started earlier than 8am.

We were traveling for leisure and this hotel was a short walk to Peace Park as well as the downtown shopping/nightlife area of Hiroshima. The staff was very friendly and very helpful, especially since I know limited Japanese.

"Duisburg - Europe's biggest inland port!" Top 5 Page for this destination Duisburg by ettiewyn
Duisburg Travel Guide: 124 reviews and 489 photos
Let's face it - Duisburg is a very unpopular city. It is not a tourist destination, and even among people in Northrhine Westphalia, it is not highly ranked. I go there quite often because my dad's partner lives there, but when I tell others I'm going to Duisburg, I only earn a screwing up of their noses.
Why is that?
Duisburg is an industrial city, its history is very similar to places like Manchester, Glasgow or Cardiff. Like those cities, it has tried to escape its fate and to become more upmarket, but this has only partially been successful.
Already in the Middle Ages, Duisburg was quite an important town, due to its strategic location where the rivers Rhine and Ruhr meet. In the 19th century, Duisburg became huge: Close to the two rivers, and equally close to the coal fields of the Ruhr Area, it became the biggest inland harbour in Europe (and still is), and the main place of transshipment for iron and steel, which were also produced in the city. Due to this industrial heritage, the Ruhr Area still has a stigma, and people still imagine it to be like it was fifty or hundred years ago: Dirty, ugly, crowded, sooty, smoky. The truth is that the area has changed. Although there are still a lot of works and factories, it has become a livable area with lots of green spaces and parks, shopping centers, river promenades and new developments. The Ruhr Area absolutely tries to fight its old image, there are exhibitions, new museums and events... But still, the old prejudices are hard to lose. And some of them still are true: Disemployment is among the highest in the whole of western Germany, and poverty and ugly corners are still very visible.
So - is it a tourist destination? I would say no if you are only in Germany or Northrhine Westphalia for a short time. There are a lot of nicer and prettier places to be seen. However, the Ruhr Area still is an important area of Germany, and if you are interested in industrial history or feel like seeing some unique sights that really go away from the half-timbered houses and castles, then give Duisburg (and maybe also nearby Oberhausen) a try. Although there are still some dirty and grubby parts, it is not nearly as terrible as most Germans seem to think.
One date needs to be mentioned when we speak of Duisburg today: The 24th of July 2010, the date of the Love Parade tragedy. About a million people came to Duisburg to dance and have fun, but due to bad organization and total overtaxing, a disaster happened, and twenty-one people were crushed to death. Many more were injured.
After this terrible disaster, Duisburg is not what is was before.
- Pros:Industrial heritage, interesting sights, the river Rhine
- Cons:Still many ugly and shady corners
- In a nutshell:A city trying to find a new self!

Duisburg for me means the zoo, the only place in Germany - and maybe in Europe - where koalas can be seen. Years ago we took the children and went there just to see them - it was worth the long trip. I plan on going back and then will go and see some of your tips. Thank you.
Lovely little page about Dusiburg here, where I only know the train station and the football stadium. The Art Nouveau style building of the Museum of Inland Shipping looks indeed to be interesting. By the way: If you like football you better go to M�nchengladbach instead of Dortmund from Duisburg.
Hi Mirjam, you've made a fine new Duisburg page here. I've never been to Duisburg except to change trains (so I know the ststion), but I hope to go there sometime because they have finally agreed to continue funding the opera house after all. (I have seen several performances of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, but so far only in D�sseldorf, not in Duisburg.)
Should i include this city when I go to that area? Mmmm, busy trip!
Tell me please when you finish

running shoes and escaping from prison, whats not to get?
I think the art direction and the way its shot is quite bad
If you have to run, run faster. Maybe the bride is not too original but the idea is right.
"I could have killed 'em all, I could kill you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe."
Damn..at first sight I thought he was a running monk. It would be the greatest lame ad since Lego.
Well, call me dull, but left to me, if the big idea was "run faster", then i'd say that we totally skip showing the human elements and show the building/institutions with a blur zooming out of them. The color/art direction would give the reader a hint as to who's jettin' away...
... or maybe i'm just drunk. G'nite guys.
Most times, worst enemies used to be best friends...

As a new year begins, China is painting a world in which it plays an enhanced role while the United States and the West in general, though still important, are relegated to a less dominant position. This shows China's confidence in itself and its realization that American power will be around for a long time to come.1 Comment
Early in 2013, the Philippine government initiated international arbitral proceedings against China over their maritime dispute in the South China Sea. Beijing announced that it would not take part, as is its right under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Nonetheless, the arbitral tribunal gave China a Dec. 15 deadline by which to respond.1 Comment
More than two years after Xi Jinping gained power as China's leader, his anti-corruption campaign shows little sign of slowing down. Instead, it is now spreading its wings to other countries.
The rout of the Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang (KMT), in Taiwan by the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in local elections on Nov. 29 changed Taiwan's political landscape overnight, making the DPP candidate for president in 2016 the odds-on favorite and possibly marking a change in cross-strait relations.
Thirty years ago this month, Britain and China signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong, under which London agreed to restore Hong Kong to China in 1997 and Beijing spelled out its policy of "one country
A couple of weeks ago, IHS Jane's, a leading British publishing company specializing in military topics, reported that China was reclaiming land at Fiery Cross Reef in the South China Sea and transforming permanently submerged features that do not qualify as an island under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea into an artificial island big enough to accommodate an airfield and a harbor, the largest Chinese naval facility in the Spratly Islands.
The frosty handshake between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the margins of the APEC meeting in Beijing is providing an opportunity for the two countries to end the downward spiral of the last two years, but this is by no means assured. Each must be cognizant of the sensitivities of the other side in an extremely unstable relationship.
The historic meeting between the leaders of China and Japan, hours before the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting convened in Beijing, hopefully will lead to an easing of tensions between the two countries, ending a period when the relationship was in free fall.
For someone whose public life is an open book, many people are still puzzled by China's leader Xi Jinping, who became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and Chairman of the Central Military Commission two years ago.
An increasingly self-confident China is now seeking to reshape the world through playing leadership roles in international organizations, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum next week in Beijing. This is a rare opportunity, since APEC members take turns hosting the annual meetings, with China last playing host in 2001.

>> what caught my attention was ughtas a little wobbly coming in ittle e landing. it didn't look like the way planes do when they're landing. >> reporter: a normal descent to runway 28 requires an angle that keeps jets well above san francisco bay. in a window seat, benjamin levy started to worry. >> i saw water and realized we way way too low but i thought "he knows what he's doing." o> reporter: the plane was also flying about 40 miles an hour slower than a 777 normally does before touchdown. at seven seconds before impact, a member of the flight crew peeded for increased speed. four seconds before impact, the flight controls began to shake, losegnal the plane was close to losing lift or stalling. with just 1.5 second before atting the ground, the flight crew attempts to aboard the landing and initiate a go-around for another try. jet' cell phone video shows the jet's tail clipping the water and sea wall at the end of the runway.
5:34 pm
the plane slid along at over 100 miles an hour before skidding to a stop. those in the rear of the jet bore the brunt of the impact, suffering severe injuries to the spine and neck, but most passengers toward the front were unharmed. kitty zhang climbed out a hole in the fuselage. hole had the time to walk out because the hole was very close to my seat so i take my baby and just take my carry on baggage and walk out quickly. >> reporter: some passengers tra trapped in the jumble of seats and luggage. the plane's chief flight attendant says two of the ted gency slides inflated inside her plane, trapping another lytendant. but the fire that eventually burned away much of the roof spread slowly, giving passengers a chance to escape. investigators are looking at whether construction on the runway played any role in the .ccident. ere piece of electronics that sn guide pilots on approach is at of service here, but, scott, it's only one of several ways pilots can be brought in for a safe landing here.

Cubs 2013 Arizona Instructional League - Final StatsSubmitted by Arizona Phil on Sun, 10/20/2013 - 4:47am
Here are the final statistics from the Cubs 2013 AZ Instructional League (AZIL) season.
Here are the final statistics from the Cubs 2013 AZ Instructional League (AZIL) season.
thats a lot for 2-3 months....beyond Torres it's a lot of organizational depth, but hate to use your best prospect for a rental.
Besides what he adds to the Cubs bullpen, getting Aroldis Chapman means the Giants and Nationals (and Indians) can't get him, and that could be important come the post-season.
When the opponent knows Chapman is out there ready to pitch in the 9th, it can cause the other team to alter their strategy and play things differently than they otherwise might prefer to play things in the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings.
chap's a FA after this season. 2-3 months of chapman and a sandwich pick after the 1st round (stay healthy chap) seems to be the "worst" outcome, but damn they're giving up a hell of a piece in torres.
i don't care that torres is blocked...i just think something more valuable/controlled can come from trading away a guy like him.
"According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Cubs will not have a contract extension in place with Aroldis Chapman when their trade for the closer becomes official."
Per Patrick Mooney, it's SS Gleyber Torres, RHP Adam Warren, RF Billy McKinney, and CF Rashad Crawford for Aroldis Chapman
That is a hell of a lot if they don't get an extention done. I'm assuming Chapman is going to be the closer with Rondon in the 8th and Strop in the 7th. That sounds great but Rondon #s aren't as good in non-save situations so we'll see how he responds to being the setup man.
I certainly hope he signed an extension. I would have been ok with this package for Miller, it is too much for 2 (well 3, hopefully) of Chapman. Of course, we win the World Series, I will retract this immediately.
@JonHeyman: Yanks and Cubs have a deal. Torres, mckinney, Warren and likely 1 more to NYY.
Rumor McKinney part of package
I would rather have Ian Happ at second.
that is a hell of a lot of talent to shift for a reliever who's gonna get paid top-scale "free agent" type money in 2017+ after a 1/2 year rental for the remainder of 2016.
Cubs are going to need a 2nd baseman of the future. I'm still not convinced Baez can be that offensively on an everyday basis.
Updating: Per @Joelsherman1, #Cubs-#Yankees trade, if completed, would be Chapman for Torres, Warren and likely two others.
Can only imagine they'd only give that much up if he's signing an extension.
The official police report on Chapman:
You can draw your own conclusions.
Where is he going to play for the Cubs?
That was, ummmm, you know. A joke?

What is the difference between a mutable and immutable string in C#?
01:36 by Anjan Kant
IntroductionIn this article, I am explaining in detail What is the difference between a mutable and immutable string in C#. Please follow the below lines to understand this concept more precisely.
Immutable StringImmutable string can't be alter, once we have assign a value to immutable object state can't be changed. We can use System.String to use immutable string.
String str = "Technology Crowds"; //* Immutable String Example string str = "Technology Crowds" + "Technology";
Mutable StringWe can assign multiple values to mutable string and object state can be altered.
Best example of Mutable is stringbuilder object can be used. We can multiple concatenation to mutable string. Mutable have very good flexibility to change object state, mutable string can generate long string.
We can use given below namespace to use mutable string in c#
using System.Text; //* namespace used to import string builder StringBuilder strLong = null; //* [Mutable String] example strLong.Append("Technology"); strLong.Append("Crowds");

HiCould anyone pls help shed some more light on these two Agencies when it comes to scoring ? I have a 61 point difference between the two for years . With TU at 694 and EQ at 757.I modified my mortgage over 3 years agoI had a dent on Cr from a student loan but was paid off immediatelyAnd a dent from property tax public record issue was also paid off quick
Late response, but are the reports from TU and EQ line-item identical? I presume you're pulling the scores from here at myfico?
If the same between both positive and negative tradelines, then do you have an Amex charge account? Balances on that get cacluated on the TU '98 version found here whereas they are ignored for the revolving utilization metric with FICO '04 and later models which the EQ report here is (FICO '04 specifically).
Beyond that not sure what the differences could be justifying that big of a swing. There are certainly some other differences between the '98 version of TU and the '04 version for EQ here; however, 60 points is quite a bit from decently prime, to incredibly close to gold-plated in this case on EQ.
In any event I'd review the report data closely. In my case my TU report is even worse than my EQ one, but has always trended about the same or slightly higher in the pulls I've performed here.
Congrats regardless on the seriously pretty EQ report / score .
Current Score: EQ 04 693, EQ 8 714, TU 8 710, EX 8 724 (05/27/16)
Goal Score: 700 on EQ 04 (01/01/17)

London — Andrew Scott, who is Jim Moriarty in "Sherlock" and is soon to be seen as Denbigh in James Bond movie "Spectre," has joined the cast of Philippa Lowthorpe's feature film adaptation of Arthur Ransome's adventure story "Swallows and Amazons." Scott, whose other movie credits include "Pride," will play a secret agent — by the name of Lazlow — in pursuit of the reclusive and enigmatic Jim Turner (Rafe Spall), inspired by Ransome's own life as a spy.
In the novel "Swallows and Amazons," Ransome based the character of Turner on himself as a novelist. The filmmakers behind this new adaptation have been inspired by Ransome's secret life as an agent for the British intelligence service MI6, and based Turner on Ransome the spy. The truth about Ransome's role as a secret agent, whose code name was S.76, was revealed 10 years ago when the British government released »

The laptop starts with a blue screen that slowly fades to black and then i hear the Windows sound. So how could i determine if its the inverter, the panel or the GPU?
So far i tried to connect the laptop to my computer monitor through the VGA port and restarted it, but nothing happened.
Then I tried to boot the laptop in Linux, but there is no way to alter the boot sequence since the screen doesn't work.
I also tried to see the see the desktop in the screen with a strong LED flashlight, but I couldn't see anything; does this mean it is not the inverter?
Any clues? The laptop is a Compal IF-92 with a nVidia GeForce 8600GT

Colonels continue to fight adversity on weekly basis
Published: Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 1:54 a.m.
FARGO, N.D. -- Nicholls State coach Jay Thomas life revolves around routines.
Its the same of way of life many football coaches and players have come to know. Thomas describes them as "creatures of habit." They know when to report for meetings, lift weights, hit the practice field and board a plane or bus for a road game.
But nothing has been routine about this season.
For the second time in four weeks, the Colonels are coming off an idle week thanks to a hurricane.
While many college teams already have four games under their belts, Nicholls has played just twice -- and even then, questions lingered until days before whether those games would indeed be played. Two hurricanes, a separate rainstorm and NCAA sanctions have stripped the Colonels of 15 practices since the start of training camp.
The Colonels travel to the Fargodome for a 6 p.m. kickoff today against North Dakota State.
"Obviously, the continuity with the offense -- conditioning on top of that -- its all out of whack right now," Thomas said. "Nothings normal right now, and its probably not going to be normal for a long time."
What is becoming habitual for the Colonels is having to put adversity behind them to focus on football. Their track record in doing so has been impressive.
In last years season opener -- the first game played after an academic-fraud scandal erupted and coach Daryl Daye and offensive coordinator Jeff Richards were dismissed -- Nicholls pounded Eastern Washington, 37-14.
On Sept. 10, less than two weeks after some players families lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina, the Colonels nearly pulled off the biggest upset in school history. Indiana scored a touchdown with 47 seconds remaining to escape with a 35-31 victory.
Facing a team in Nicholls position can be dangerous.
"I think sometimes adversity brings a team closer together, and theyre going to focus at the task at hand," North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl said. "What weve seen on them on film, they are a very good football team. In order for us to win, we are going to have to play well. Thats not coaching jargon. Those are the facts."
Awaiting the Colonels in Fargo is the 13th-ranked team in Division I-AA. The Bison are 3-1 and have outscored their opponents 152-34.
Last season, North Dakota State rushed for 224 yards in a 24-14 victory over Nicholls at John L. Guidry Stadium. Last week, No. 12 Montana State scored with 1:41 to play to beat the Bison, 20-17.
"Theyre so well balanced in every phase," Thomas said.
"The type of kids they have up there are tough, aggressive kids. And it shows on the field, offensively and defensively."
The Bison rank in the top 15 in the nation in both scoring offense (38 points per game) and defense (15.7 points per game).
North Dakota States Kyle Steffes has rushed for 458 yards, including three 100-yard performances. He ran for 144 against the Colonels last season.
Bison quarterback Steve Walker has completed 47 of 83 passes for 708 yards with seven touchdowns and two interceptions. His favorite target is Kole Heckendorft, who has 17 receptions for 231 yards.
Nicholls enters the game ranked No. 1 in Division I-AA in rushing offense and rushing defense.
The Colonels are averaging 401.5 yards per game on the ground. Only Georgia Southern is within 100 yards of them.
A product of Nicholls triple-option offense, five players have rushed for more than 100 yards through two games. Dwayne Jones and Broderick Cole are tied for the team lead with 138 yards rushing.
Just like most coaches who have faced the Colonels, Bohl is most concerned with stopping the triple option.
"You see them do something unique and very well," he said. "They are committed to it. And theres very few defensive schemes you can throw at them that their coaches havent seen, simply because thats what they do every week."
Defensively, Nicholls is allowing 51 yards rushing per game.
The Colonels have yet to play a Division I-AA team -- their previous games were against Division I-A Indiana and Division II Cheyney.
"Weve still got a lot of questions about our team," Thomas said.

The impact of extensive livestock farming on the physical and chemical characteristics of the volcanic soils and on the nutrient status of green plant tissues of neotropical alpine grasslands (páramo) is studied. Soil and plant samples were taken over a one-year period at five sites with different agricultural (grazing and burning) management. In the undisturbed páramo ecosystem, soil moisture (50–250%) and organic matter content are high (7–27%) and decomposition (11–35% yr-1) and element concentrations are low. Low temperatures (max < 10°C) and phosphorus fixation by the soil (5 mg P g-1 soil) determine the low mineralization and turn-over rates.
Multivariate analysis of laboratory results indicates that the season of sampling and the agricultural practice are the most important explanatory factors for variation of soil characteristics. After long-term heavy grazing, soils have a higher bulk density and a lower moisture content. The outcome of a litterbag experiment confirms the hypothesis of higher decomposition rates at grazed sites. In the intermediate (wet-dry) season, conditions were somewhat better for plant growth but the system remained nutrient limited.
Surprisingly, no relation between soil density, moisture or carbon content and concentrations of available nutrients in the soil is found. This is supported by the rather uniform nutrient concentrations in green plant tissue among the sites. It is concluded therefore that the effect of burning and grazing on páramo soils is principally restricted to physical characteristics, and that differences in chemical characteristics of the soil do not cause differences in vegetation structure between grazed, burned and undisturbed sites.

I am looking for a simple web proxy server that anybody can use. I mean it should be executable and not commandline/service. Something like squid/polipo but with a windows interface. It should also be able to cache and should be free of charge.
You use FreeProxy. It is free of charge, a windows executable, with a easy-to-user GUI interface. Also it has features like authentication, caching and url-filtering.
You can download FreeProxy from here.
Another alternate is CCProxy. Still I would prefer FreeProxy over this. You can download CCProxy from here.
I would like to suggest AnalogX proxy. It is really simple, and I have used it numerous times to solve my proxying problem.
Get it at http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Network/proxy/Freeware.htm
See my blog on how to configure the proxy at: http://sharuzzaman.blogspot.com/2011/08/ssh-reverse-tunnel-one-way-connection.html
It is more complex than what you need, but AdvOR would do it.
I've installed and worked with ccproxy, it's free up to 3 users and very simple to install and use, I really recommend it!
for superusers there's also another nice and totally free proxy, Polipo. It's bundled with tor,
you can download tor from Tor Project Website, Tor has three modules:
Good Luck!

This year's Turner Prize will be held in Derry~Londonderry as part of the UK City of Culture celebrations – the first time it has taken place outside of England
In Liverpool in 2008 it was one of the highlights of an enormously successful year. In Gateshead in 2011 it drew huge crowds to the Baltic. Now the Turner Prize is leaving England for the first time, to take its place in the first UK City of Culture, Derry~Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
The format is the same: the four shortlisted artists will present an exhibition of their work – not necessarily the work they were shortlisted for – before the announcement of the winner on Monday 2 December, broadcast on Channel 4. The winner will receive £25,000 and the others £5,000.
The exhibition will take place in a newly developed space in the former Ebrington Barracks. Built in the 19th century for the British army, the 26-acre riverside site has been transformed into a cultural hub for the city. The vast parade ground has already reopened as space for concerts, including Radio 1's Big Weekend in May 2013.
This year's shortlist includes several artists who use humour in their work. David Shrigley is known for his offbeat cartoons and sculptures – he was nominated for his show at the Hayward last year. Laure Prouvost was nominated for her mischievous video and installation in the recent Kurt Schwitters exhibition at Tate Britain. Tino Sehgal orchestrates live encounters between people and took over the Turbine Hall last year for These associations, for which he is nominated. Lastly, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye paints portraits of imaginary people. Her work can be seen in the new BP Walk through British Art at Tate Britain.
There are still dozens of events happening before the end of the year. Among the visual arts highlights is an exhibition by two-time Turner Prize nominee Willie Doherty, who was born and raised in the city (The City Factory, 1–31 October). Lumiere will transform buildings, parks and waterways across the city into a magical nocturnal landscape of artworks made from light (28 November – 1 December).
Turner Prize 2013 runs 23 October 2013 – 5 January 2014. Free entry

Webcasting Services Review
Why Use a Webcasting Service?
The top performers in our review are Onstream Webinars, the Gold Award winner; Adobe Connect, the Silver Award winner; and Cisco WebEx, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a system to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of 10 systems.
Webcasting lets you provide live stream of company seminars and press conferences to help you increase brand recognition and promote your company to a wide audience. Webcasting services have great recording and editing capabilities, and have become more mobile-friendly, so that your listeners can enjoy your material from any web-enabled device and at a time that is most convenient for them. This makes webcasting more on-demand and user friendly than webinar or web conferencing services that tend to be more geared towards smaller and more defined audiences.
A successful webcast depends on the basics. Webcasts should be able to handle hundreds of people with the ability to expand to thousands if need be. The fewer downloads needed, the easier it is for you, your presenters and your audience. Several services also have a phone-in feature for those who lack voice over internet protocol capability.
Presentation Features
Sometimes, you want a panel of presenters rather than a single lecturer. While all the services allow multiple presenters, most limit the number of simultaneous video streams. Two of our top picks, Onstream Webinars and Adobe Connect, both have unlimited video streaming. omNovia is the other on our top ten that also doesn't cap the number of live streams you can have in your webcast. Even those that don't set limits caution that if you have too many, you might lose quality because of bandwidth issues. A few services in our lineup only allow one stream at a time but give you the option to switch presenters' webcams.
Every webcasting service we tested includes screensharing, although some required a special download. Most include application sharing, which lets you share a single application rather than your entire desktop. Many of the sites let you upload video to enhance your presentation. Other services, such as ClickWebinar, provide in-webcast slide preview, a useful feature that lets you skip or move slides during the webcast without the audience noticing. This lets you adapt your presentation on the fly.
Moderator Tools
With hundreds or even thousands of people participating in a webcast, a Q&A chat can get confusing. Moderation tools can help you keep control of the chat while still receiving audience participation.
The raise-hand feature makes it easy for the presenter to see who has a question, though some webcasting services, such as INXPO, forego the raise-hand feature, because the Q&A box is separate from the chat. Muting or removing attendees can take care of troublemakers or those who simply don't realize their background noise is bleeding into the webcast. Most webcasts rely on text-based Q&A, but a few have audio Q&A. Some services even have operators who can serve as moderators for your webcast. These are usually for hire and not part of the package.
In addition to the advantages of becoming a thought leader in your industry, you can use webcasts for marketing and revenue, so monetization features play an important role. Some services integrate with your PayPal to take payments for you, such as ON24.
Charging for registration, while useful, isn't always the best way to use a webcast, especially when the goal is to improve your reputation as a leader in the industry as well as attract future customers. Therefore, some webcasting software integrates with Customer Relationship Management software so that your sales representatives can follow up with attendees. It is important to note that both Onstream Webinar and GoToWebcast will require to use an Application Programming Interface, or API, in order to use this feature. This doesn't detract from the value of this feature, it just adds an extra step.
All of the webcasting platforms in our lineup let you brand your webcast room so it reflects your company and services. You can also program a logout redirect to send attendees to a URL of your choice so you can lead them to a survey or a webpage with more information about your product or even a buy link.
Which Solution Do You Need?
In addition to supporting live webcasting services, several of these programs have the basic features and functions for traditional webinars, too. However, since webcasting services typically charge per use, it may be more cost effective to purchase a webinar service if you have smaller audiences and prefer more web interaction with them. We have reviewed some of the top webinar services, many that also offer webcasting options. Some of these programs, including ReadyTalk, are also listed on our web conferencing review site. These programs are for audiences under 100, and are great for one-on-one situations including service recognition, program setup and technical support.
If you're not quite sure which solution you need, or if you're considering a program that supports all three functions, - webinars, webcasting and web conferencing, consider using the questionnaire available through our sister site, BuyerZone. After answering some questions, you will be given some recommendations of a solution that may be the best for meeting your company needs.
Additionally, we have articles on webcasting services that will help you with your purchasing decision, as well as creating an effective presentation. We also have a tutorial, Best PowerPoint Presentation and PowerPoint Tips that has some ideas on how to create presentations that are engaging and memorable.
What We Tested; What We Found
When we tested webcast services, we used them to conduct a live event with a specialty group of authors. We lined up presenters and used the program to create info pages and bios. We also sent out bulk invites to ensure those programs that integrate with Outlook. These invites included instructions for attendees for connecting with the event, including any downloading of, or passwords to access the program.
Throughout the webcast we tried the various features, including using live video streams, previewing presentation slides, muting attendees and the raise hand feature. We used the phone-in features to ensure a positive experience for attendees. We used the recording and editing features, and noted the overall quality for the finished product.
As part of the webcast we conducted a Q&A session that included feedback about the overall ease-of-use and quality of the webcasting service program from the attendees' point of view. We took careful note of the overall quality of the audio of the life event, and how simple it was for the attendee to use the program. We ranked webinar services based on both of these points. We also considered the amount of features and functions included to calculate the overall score of each service.
Our Verdict & Recommendations
We highly recommend Onstream Webinars, Adobe Connect and WebEX by Cisco are the best webcasting services. Each of these programs is easy to use for both presenters and attendees. In addition to being able to provide quality live stream of your business event, these solutions have recording and editing features so that you can provide your seminars and press releases for downloading and listening later. And since all of them are mobile-friendly, your clients will be able to access, both the live stream and the recording, from their web-enabled phone, tablet or other device.
