Live-streaming video has already become the norm when it comes to online customer engagement. Any brand, wishing to succeed in today's omnichannel world and engage with their online customers should already be investing in this technology.
Here are some interesting stats on live streaming video from different sources, which show how important it is that brands include live streaming video into their online marketing campaigns to drive better online customer engagement:
Industry leaders such as, Vodafone, Nissan and T-Mobile are well aware that live streaming video chat is the best way to connect with customers, that's why they are all using One-to-Many live video chat on their websites, to help customers engage with their brand in real-time.
It is true that Facebook is the world's biggest social network and it is likely to draw views and shares. But how qualified are these "social viewers"? How effective can FB Live video be and what tools does Facebook have to measure the level of engagement and the effect on your business' bottom line? Can it be used to generate sales leads?
Here are 6 reasons why FB Live IS NOT the best online customer engagement solution on the market:
Facebook is great! Nearly everyone is on Facebook. But why are they there? It's mostly to connect with their friends and relatives and well… …to brag about their amazing lives!
Even the Facebook CEO agrees with me on that:
"Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They're keeping up with their friends and family, but they're also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand." – Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook
Don't get me wrong, I do believe every business should be on Facebook to build their brand image, raise brand awareness and stay relevant. But being on Facebook is just not good enough anymore, when it comes to marketing and customer engagement.
Subsequent research by Ogilvy reported that "large brands' Facebook posts reached just two percent of their fans (a number that was falling by 0.5 percent per month)". More research by Forrester showed that "on average, only 0.07 percent of top brands' Facebook fans interact with each of their posts."
If your brand's strategy is online customer engagement, you should look beyond Facebook and try other live-video streaming for your website, one that will reach customers when they actually want to interact with your brand and are searching the web for your products.
That's right! You can only broadcast FB Live video from the Facebook platform. As with anything in this world… is it really free if it's free? Facebook wants users to visit and stay on their platform for longer periods. They sure won't give it up easily, when brands have the ability to attract more users for them and grow their platform! They've even made it extremely difficult to embed the live stream onto your website after you have finished streaming.
How do you control something when it's hosted outside of your online properties? What if something goes wrong? What if there are technical issues and there's nothing you can do about it? This could mean a disaster for your brand!
There are better solutions out there, such as Whisbi One-to-Many, which allows you to embed live streaming video onto your online properties by simply adding a line of JavaScript to your website.
Here is a great example of T-Mobile's One-to-many live video chat streaming from their website:
For many customers the great thing about the internet and online shopping is that it provides anonymity. People like to participate in online discussions, ask questions and do their research, but without everyone knowing what they ask or who they are.
With Facebook Live, everyone can see your comments and people can reply to you or even share your comment/question on the network if they find it funny or strange.
This might be an issue for many, which means they would just watch the video and not interact with your brand as much as they might have if their comments or questions were anonymous. And isn't audience engagement what you want to achieve with this kind of activity?
If you're on Facebook, you've already given away a lot of privacy. According to Supporters of Internet Anonymity "it is the most important aspect of free speech on the Internet. Anonymity allows for Internet users to express themselves freely without worry of being discovered or tracked, ridiculed, or harassed."
With Whisbi One-to-Many the users can ask questions via chat, by first typing in their real or imaginary name to introduce themselves so that the presenter can refer to them when answering their question. The customers can watch the presenter through real-time video, ask questions via chat anonymously, but the presenters can't see them and does not know their real name or any other details, unless the customer wants to share his info. It's perfect!
Facebook Live is pretty simple to broadcast, right? But to watch it you need a Facebook account! This is where it stops for many customers. Some might not be on Facebook at all (don't forget the baby boomers) and some just can't be bothered to log in and find your page to join in the video stream. And some don't like that everyone knows who they are when they comment, or ask questions – they might prefer to ask questions anonymously.
Don't you think that customers would be more likely to interact and engage with your brand if they could watch your live stream without logging in or giving you any personal information? This is exactly how Whisbi One-to-Many solution works! All your customers need is a working internet connection and a device connected to the internet! The session starts automatically once they visit your website or landing page.
It's important to let your audience know about your upcoming or current live video stream. Facebook Live allows you to target your personal Facebook network, the fans of your business page (if you're an admin), a group, or an event. You can also raise awareness through news feed posts from you FB account or business page. If you think your live video is important enough, you can use paid Facebook ads to promote your live event. Then, you would also have to remind your audience again right before you go live.
Promoting your live streaming video is important as it raises awareness of your brand or business and encourages customer interactions. So make sure you don't forget about the world outside of Facebook!
You can invite your blog readers, email subscribers, and followers from other networks by sharing a link to your account, business page, group, or event. You could also do paid search advertising on Google or pay for display ads, which would then redirect the visitors to your Facebook page or account, but not directly to what they want to see. This brings me to the limitations of ad campaigns, when it comes to promoting on FB Live:
Firstly, the customer journey is not seamless. From the moment they click on the ad to the moment they come to your FB page to view the video, they would have to complete several steps before reaching your video:
1. Login to their social media account
2. Follow your page or your personal account (if they are not followers yet)
3. Find the live-streaming video on your Facebook page
Secondly, the customers would only see your live-stream LIVE if they happen to click on your ad in or outside of Facebook exactly at the time of the live-stream. Otherwise, they would only see the Facebook post informing them of the event or a live-video recording of the event that already happened, which can be quite disappointing after completing all of the steps above.
Thirdly, it is not possible to re-direct your audience from the live-streaming video on Facebook to your website or other landing page seamlessly! If viewers like what they see, they might want to quickly go to your website and purchase the products or services you are promoting. But Facebook wants to keep your audience engaged on their platform and not let them wander off easily to other websites. This means viewers would have to find your website through search engines or enter your website url directly and then search for the specific products or services on your site. The fact that the transition is clunky rather than seamless and leaves too much to coincidence, who is to say that while searching the web they won't find the same products at your competitor and buy there instead?
As mentioned earlier in the post, with Whisbi's One-to-Many solution your audience can watch your live stream without logging in or giving you any personal information. Furthermore, with Whisbi One-to-Many you can direct traffic from ALL online advertising channels SEAMLESSLY. Once the person clicks on your banner ad, Google paid search ad, Facebook ad or a link in your email marketing campaign, they will be automatically redirected to your website or landing page, where live-streaming video will start automatically.
Here are some examples of how you could leverage Whisbi in your lead generation activities:
Furthermore with Whisbi One-to-Many live video chat for business you can re-direct your viewers to any website or landing page seamlessly by sharing a link with your viewers through the chat! The link can take them to anywhere you want; the webpage with the specific collection of products your are talking about in the live stream or to the One-to-One session where they can speak to an expert and get personalised service.
An example of Facebook's streaming ability is a 45 minute video of two people exploding a watermelon with rubber bands. It reached a peak of over 800,000 simultaneous viewers who also racked up over 300,000 comments. That's what you can generate with a social network of 1.5 billion users, but with only one channel and only one or two presenters, how can you possibly answer all their questions in real time??
Facebook Live is a fun, new feature which is nice if you want to share your day-to-day adventures (kind of like snapchat), but when it comes to customer engagement is that enough? Isn't the beauty of live streaming video in the ability to talk to your audience in real-time and answer their queries or raise awareness of your new products?
Don't you want real-time customer engagement for your brand, rather than spending hours after the live-stream is over, answering each question that you could not answer during the live session?
The Whisbi One-to-Many solution is the first real-time video chat designed exclusively for business! This means it has been carefully developed with your business needs in mind.
Here is a quick recap of the main differences between FB Live and Whisbi One-to-Many solution:
There are other (better) solutions for live-streaming video out there, in fact YouTube has been offering this service for some time already. Just because Facebook is the loudest, it does not make it the best. Especially not, when it comes to live-streaming video chat for business!

Robyn Renee
I am passionate about being in the presence of those who struggle, desire, and seek help. I am most excited to work with individuals and couples who find courage within themselves to take risks and work collaboratively. I am inspired daily by my clients' perseverance, intelligence, creativity, resilience and hope.
The most common reasons people pursue therapy include a dissatisfaction with essential relationships, difficulty in handling specific areas of life, and a desire to be joined in their pain while working toward creating a fulfilling life. I believe we thrive when we move from isolation to intimate connection with others.
For some, therapy can initially seem intimidating. When you no longer want to put up with life, as you now know it, the benefits of therapy far outweigh the discomfort, inhibition and investment required in seeking professional help.
In the privacy of my office, you will find a place to face and name your fears, anger, and other unbearable feelings. I have the capacity to enter into your darkest corners with you, while offering compassion and clarity amidst your pain. Symptoms relief, greater self-awareness, increased health and happiness are a few of the side effects of my work.
I look forward to meeting you!

20:18 "Truly, I say to you: Inasmuch as I am called Jmmanuel, which means
'the one with godly knowledge,' you, too, shall bear this name so that
you will understand the wisdom of knowledge."
The thought of a Child
19:1 It happened that the disciples stepped up to Jmmanuel and said, "Who
is the greatest in spirit?"
19:2 Jmmanuel called a child, placed the youth among them
19:3 and spoke, "Truly, I say to you: Unless you change and become like
the children, you will not become great in spirit.
19:4 "Those who search, seek and gather understanding and thirst for
knowledge like this child will be great in spirit.
19:5 "Those who search, seek and find like such a child will always reach
their fullest potential within themselves.
19:6 "But they who do not heed this truth, follow false teachings of nei-
ther search nor find would be better off with a millstone hung around
their necks and drowned in the deepest sea.
The Blessing of the Children
20:15 Then children were brought to him, so that he would lay his hands on
20:16 However, Jmmanuel spoke, "Leave the children alone and do not stop
them from coming to me; because they are my most attentive listen-
ers and of such is the realm of wisdom."
20:17 And he put his hands on them and said, "Learn knowledge and wis-
dom, and you will become spiritually perfect and true followers of the

'the one with godly knowledge,' you, too, shall bear this name so that

it is one within itself. and nothing outside of it.

also the son of God.

try to make the spirit, Creation and me into a trinity, which again is a

al distorters.

dom, logic and love he is a thousand times greater than we and greater
than all people upon this earth.

illogical human judgment, has no beginning and no end."

Burleson ISD High School Students Have the Chance to Win a Car for Going to School
Burleson Nissan "Strive to Drive! TX" Initiative Rewards Students for Perfect Attendance
Sept. 3, 2020 – Burleson Independent School District (BISD) students have the opportunity to win a free car, courtesy of Burleson Nissan, just for going to school. As part of the "Strive to Drive! TX" student attendance initiative, two high school students in BISD will win a car.
Burleson Nissan partners with Strive to Drive TX to encourage students to attend class, which has a direct correlation on academic performance.
Each six weeks, students in grades 9-12 who are at school on time, every day, all day, will receive a ticket for a drawing. Students from Burleson High School, Centennial High School, Burleson Collegiate High School, and Crossroads High School, who meet the requirements, are eligible to win. In May, ten finalists are drawn. Each finalist receives a key but only one will start the car.
"It is with extreme gratitude that we continue this tremendous partnership with Burleson Nissan," said Superintendent Dr. Bret Jimerson. "Attendance is a vital factor in student success, and while we work to keep lessons relevant, this program will further incentivize coming to class."
How does the Strive to Drive TX program work?
Students must be enrolled in the Burleson ISD for the entire six week grading period.
Students may earn 1 ticket per six weeks for perfect attendance.
Students may earn 5 bonus tickets per semester for perfect attendance (Fall and Spring).
Students may earn 10 bonus tickets for no days missed all year.
The district will utilize state guidelines for reporting average daily attendance to determine perfect attendance contest eligibility.
The contest begins August 19, 2019. Grading periods are as follows, with the first and last grading periods altered for the drawing:
August 19, 2019 to September 27, 2019
September 30, 2019 to November November 1, 2019
November 4, 2019 to December 20, 2019

Its newest beverage, Johnny Appleseed Hard Apple Cider, will become available nationwide on April 7. Described as a "sweet and intense hard apple cider" in promotions, Johnny Appleseed has an alcohol content of 5.5% and includes apple juice from fruit harvested in the U.S. and elsewhere. The cider is made in Baldwinsville, N.Y.
Cider occupies a "sweet spot" between beer and wine and hard liquor drinks mixed with juice, says Adam Oakley, vice president of high-end at Anheuser-Busch. "Cider drinkers are looking for an alternative, (and) they want something that is more refreshing. We tried to develop the most refreshing cider that you could get by blending … a perfect balance of apple intensity and sweetness."
Johnny Appleseed Hard Apple Cider will be available in 12-ounce glass bottles with a twist-off cap in six-packs and 12-packs, and sold individually in 16-ounce and 25-ounce cans. It will be available on draft this summer.

Bill Helping Small Businesses Provide Health Insurance Moves to Senate FloorSalem-News.com
Senate committee makes progress on key agenda item, full vote expected Thursday.
(SALEM, Ore.) - On the second day of the February session, the Senate Health Care committee made progress on a key item on the Senate Democrats' agenda, moving a bill that gives small businesses and their employees increased access to affordable health insurance.
"The recession has made providing health care much more difficult for small businesses," said Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson (D-Gresham), chief sponsor of the bill and chair of the Senate Health Care Committee. "This bill will give more middle class Oregonians access to health care provided by their employers."
Senate Bill 1003 modifies provisions in association health plans, which are used by many general contractors and other small businesses to offer health care to their workers. Under current law, 95 percent of all members of an association must participate in order for the association to qualify for the plan. For many associations that threshold has been impossible to meet. SB 1003 creates exemptions in these all-or-nothing plans, giving more Oregonians access to health care.
"This bill demonstrates our commitment to working with Oregon small businesses who are struggling the most during these tough times," said Senator Alan Bates (D-Ashland), a practicing physician and member of the Senate Health Care Committee. "Today's vote is an important step as we continue to fight for access for health care for Oregonians."
Senate Bill 1003 is expected to reach the floor later this week for a vote by the full Senate.

How to Define Goals and Objectives
It is always interesting when I enter a conversation about strategy, because before long, the conversation turns to terminology. People spend hours discussing: What is a mission? What is a vision? What is a goal? What is an objective? That is forgivable because most people don't live this terminology. So I bring my definitions, and once I define them, I ask clients not to squabble about definitions any more.
Here are my definitions for goals and objects:
Goals are the aspiration outcomes of a strategy (strategy with a Big "S"). They represent the end point of execution, not the execution itself. Goals are very broad.
Increase the retention of low income students by 50% over the 2015 benchmark.
Take 10% of Apples' North American Market by 2017.
The first thing you will notice about a goal is it has numbers associated with it. Good goals include numbers. Some delta from where the organization is, to where it wants to be, expressed as a number. That number should be considered in light of the acronym "SMART" or Specific Measureable Attainable Realistic and Timely.
The goal is specific, it isn't general about students, it says "low income students." It is measureable, because the institution knows what its retention rate is, and 50% represents an improvement over the current situation. It is attainable. As this is a theoretical discussion, let's assume we did our homework and this number is attainable based on, for instance, what other institutions have been able to do with similar demographics and budgets. This also makes it realistic, in that the area has sufficient low income students to draw from, for example. And it is timely, for a number of reasons, some of those might be funding opportunities from the state, surveys of what the community wants to attain, etc.
Some consider "SMART" goals as remnants of the industrial age, and no longer as relevant in the fast moving world lubricated by the Internet and its global connections. I would disagree. Some of the ideas, like "CLEAR," which suggests goals should be Collaborative, Limited, Emotional, Appreciable and Refinable introduces language that already easily fits as qualifiers to SMART. Collaborative and emotional are cultural qualifiers that may not be universal, though very few objectives are delivered by individuals. Emotional implies a connection to an objective, while desirable, it may not always be possible. Limited appears as an integration to Realistic and Timely. Appreciable and Refinable target the goal itself, suggesting that they be able to be deconstructed into smaller goals, and refinable, implies change over time. I don't disagree with the ideas, I'm just not convinced that another acronym is required to convey ideas that are more about how than the what.
Objectives are more specific. Objectives break a goal into a set of actions that can be achieved to support the goal.
This next list is just an example, as these will be very contextual for each organization, based on how the describe their work, and the work they do.
- Create a tutoring program that ensures 90% of low income students pass their first year courses and limit dropped classes to 10% or less.
- Develop a tiered mentoring program where are least 50 low income students become second tier mentors in the first year.
Goals and objectives differ from tactics or action plans because they stay above the how. But as you can see, objectives inherit the specificity and numerical measurement quality of the goal. An action plan drills into objectives by providing step-by-step tasks that support the achievement of the objective, and ultimately the goal, and thus the organization's strategy. The actual steps for developing the tiered mentoring program is an action plan. The action plan is all about the how, with very detailed, integrated tasks aimed at making sure the objectives are achieved.
Now, all of this planning doesn't just make the goal happen. Executing strategy is difficult. Goals and objectives should be undertaken as learning experiences. If the mission of the organization is "to be the top rated learning institution in our geographical area" then how the goal of retaining low income students ultimately contributes to that mission may not be clear. You won't know until you measure its impact on the achievement of the mission. The same is true of objectives. If you achieve the objectives, they may or may not get you to your goal. You may need to do more of some things, less of others— or develop new objectives to replaces those that aren't working.
Given reciprocality of goals and objectives, a goal should not be abandoned because it has not be achieved. It may be that the objectives associated with the goal have not proven out. While examining the objects, also take a look at the goal and see if any clarification is required, and double-check that it still aligns with the organization's mission. With rapid changes in society, technology and politics, it has become increasingly necessary to let go of goals that no longer fit, regardless of how well they may be articulated. Making the investment in time and dollars may no longer actually contribute to the strategic intent. The ideas behind CLEAR get integrated into SMART by constantly monitoring for alignment and efficacy. When a goal falls out of alignment, it's time to have
Note: A confusing semantic issue with goals and objectives comes from the fact that they are, in programming parlance, overloaded terms. Which means, that in different contexts they mean different things. So when you get down to a basic task, like "create a newsletter" in support of an objective, that "task" has its own goals and objectives. The newsletter, for instance, needs to be readable and have a good subscriber base so the messages it is meant to convey can be delivered to the right audience. Those are worthy objectives, but they aren't strategic, unless your business is writing newsletters. In this example, the newsletter is an tactic, part of the action plan, in support of one or more larger goals. If there is any confusion, work with your team understand Strategic Goals (and use caps) and other goals (use lower case). The typography can act as a guide and a reminder.

Man recovers car 42 years after theft
Authorities say a man whose prized sports car was stolen 42 years ago has it back after spotting it on eBay.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Sunday that Robert Russell contacted authorities after determining the 1967 Austin Healy stolen from his Philadelphia home in 1970 was now in East Los Angeles.
A Sheriff's Department detective tracked it down to an auto dealership and department told Russell he could pick up his car.
He has since brought it back to Texas, where he now lives. His hometown wasn't immediately available.
Russell told deputies that he bought the vehicle for $3,000. It's now valued at $23,000.
But the department says the man continued his search, not for its monetary value, but because it had sentimental value to him and his wife.

Diligent Robotics's Moxi is a robot created by Andrea Thomaz (a former robotics professor at UT Austin and Georgia Tech's Socially Intelligent Machines Lab) and Vivian Chu (one of Thomaz's former grad students); they funded by a National Science Foundation grant to create a robotic nursing aide that is designed to do routine, non-human-interaction chores for nurses with a minimum of effort from nurses.
For example, when a patient is discharged, a Moxi can fetch and deliver an "admission bucket" (a standard package of supplies for a new patient) automatically; some nurses in a limited trial say they never saw Moxi undertake this chore, but rather simply found that every recently vacated room had an admission bucket waiting at the appropriate time.
The design is meant to relieve nurses of mechanical, robotic tasks (errands) and free them up to concentrate on care and humans. After four one-month beta trials, the company says Moxi robots do that very well, but they were surprised by the affection that both nurses and patients expressed for the robots, which was so intense that the technicians began to schedule an hour-long "social lap," in which the robot wanders around and makes heart-emoji eyes at patients.
The physical design of Moxi reflects Thomaz's "Socially Intelligent Machines" research; they are designed to be cute and nonthreatening, and to give social cues that humans intuitively grasp, like looking in the direction they're moving.
After declaring success in its beta program, Diligent plans to roll the robots out in three or four hospitals in 2019.
While Moxi's job is to take as many mundane tasks as possible off nurses' plates so that they could spend more time interacting with patients, the Diligent team was surprised to find that patients were fascinated by the robot and wanted to interact with it during their beta trials. Patients ended up being so infatuated with Moxi that they would ask for selfies with the robot; one child even sent Diligent Robotics a letter asking where Moxi lived.
The robot was so popular that the Diligent team programmed superfluous activities for Moxi to do once an hour so that the robot would wander around the floor and flash heart eyes at people. "In between tasks Moxi would make a social lap to talk to her fans," Thomaz says.
During the trials, Thomaz reports that the nurses and hospital staff had a similarly positive reaction—even from early skeptics. "Some nurses were like, 'It creeps me out a little, I don't like robots, I'm not into AI,'" Thomaz says. "But by the end they [were] like, 'Hey Moxi, hey girl, how's it going?' It was dramatic, in a matter of two to three weeks."

Turning Competitive Insights Into Cash
Client Situation
The cannabis industry was seeing a significant number of new businesses entering the marketplace offering cultivation management services. First mover advantage was important to Medicine Man Technologies (MMT.) They were ready to scale operations with the intent of listing on NASDAQ to raise capital. Recognizing how their brand was positioned and communicates influences it's long-term value, they approached Karen for help.
The Challenge
Understanding the competitive environment is the first step to identify marketplace gaps – areas of opportunity that MMT could leverage and own. While management felt they knew what the competition was doing, it had been a year since their last review.
Actions Taken
A comprehensive analysis was initiated looking at relevant sectors of the competitive set. A separate brand audit evaluated the health of marketing efforts in alignment with positioning and messaging. Key insights derived from both discovered several areas to capitalize on. It was critical MMT clearly communicate their value proposition along the customer journey to optimize market penetration — the driver to sustainable revenue.
The Results
Immediate adoption of the recommendations to align their brand positioning, personality, and key messaging was implemented by their agency partners, bringing cohesion and synergy across customer facing marketing touch points.
An additional insight Karen uncovered revealed MMT was leaving money on the table. Several competitors had begun segmenting cultivation management fees by plant part including trim while MMT only billed management fees for flower.
– Over $250K in revenue was added to the bottom line for services not being charged.
– MMT was better prepared to scale up operations and attract investors.
– Brand and business were in optimal position for their NASDAQ listing.

Time for some comedy.
The Gregory Brothers (who also perform as schmoyoho) are a group of musicians and comedians. based in the USA. They are best known for producing the Songify The News, formally Auto-Tune The News, series of videos on YouTube but also produce their own serious music. They have taken on the mission of turning the whole universe into song, not being able to achieve this in a single blow they have started by taking excerpts from news, and similar, broadcasts, pushing it through an auto-tune machine and making the result into a song for their schmoyoho video channel. The band consists of: Andrew Rose Gregory on guitar and vocals; Evan Gregory on keyboards and vocals; Sarah Fullen Gregory on bass and vocals; and Michael Gregory on drums and vocals. Of course Sarah wasn't born a Gregory brother, she only achieved that status on marrying Evan.
Microwaves & Goats is the latest video in the Songify the News series. It is a parody of recent comments from the US Administration on various subjects including President Trump's deluded belief that President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the election using microwave ovens. This is another great piece that parodies recent events by using recordings of the more ridiculous statements to perform the difficult task of parodying the biggest political parody in the US.You can follow The Gregory Brothers on their Official Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Michael's Twitter, on Sarah's Twitter, on Andrew's Twitter, on Evan's Twitter, on Instagram, on their The Gregory Brothers YouTube channel, and on their schmoyoho YouTube channel. You can support them financially on Patreon. You can buy their music on iTunes.

Campus Safety Responds to Safety Concerns with Walking Tour
Loyola Campus Safety and Student Government of Loyola Chicago (SGLC) teamed up for a "safety stroll" through Rogers Park on Oct. 19. The stroll hoped to educate students on how to stay safe when walking through the neighborhood, but only two students who were not part of SGLC attended.
The tour was led by Campus Safety Sgt. Tim Cunningham. It began at 6 p.m. in the Damen Den, but the didn't leave until around 6:45 p.m. Speaking on the delayed start time and low attendance, the tour's organizer, Sophomore Sidney Joseph, said, "The only comment I have on the attendance is that it's midterms and most people were studying."
The tour went from Campus Safety's south border, Granville Avenue, to its north border, Pratt Avenue. The tour stopped at popular spots like Albion Park and areas like Glenwood Avenue, where many students live.
Along the way, Cunningham pointed out areas where crime is likely to occur, such as areas with low visibility and places near the lake, which can attract potential criminals.
"If you don't feel safe, you're not," said Cunningham, who recommended avoiding alleyways and poorly-lit streets.
Students sometimes get lost at night, making them easy targets for criminals, according to Cunningham.
"Often a student will come out of a friend's apartment and go left when they should have gone right, and then before they know it they're eight blocks from campus and have no idea where they are," Cunningham said.
Joseph, who is the chair of SGLC's Safety and Wellness Committee, helped organize the event. She said crimes like the "sexual attacks and assaults [on Winthrop Ave.] are an imperative topic to discuss."
"Along with being vigilant and avoiding dangerous areas, students should avoid walking alone during late hours, especially while using headphones or having their phones visible," said the international business major and pre-law student.
Cunningham wanted to remind students that it's always possible that they could be the victim of a crime, and advised students to remember that it's safest to cooperate with an assailant's demands.
"Whatever is in your bag, it's not worth it to fight back," Cunningham said. "Give them whatever they want, and when you do, throw it over their head and run away as fast as you can."
During the tour, one student, who wished to remain anonymous, shared a story of how she was assaulted near her apartment north of LSC.
"I was walking in my building's front door when some guy came up from behind and grabbed me. I tried to fight back, and he pulled my hair and slammed my head against the wall," she said.
This student's assault, like many others, was never reported to Campus Safety, because she said she was too shaken up to speak with officers. This is a big problem for the officers charged with keeping students safe, according to Campus Safety officer Brendan Mulcrone.
"We hear a lot of students say they don't want to bother us," said Mulcrone. "We're paid to serve you, so don't ever be afraid to call."
With Halloween coming up in just over a week, Cunningham advised students to be extra cautious and aware of their surroundings, and to take 8-RIDE, which runs until 2:30 a.m. from Monday through Sunday on weekdays and until 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
In the event that a student does need assistance, Cunningham said students should use one of the more than 400 blue emergency phones on campus, which can put students in direct contact with campus police.

Meet our new president: Anna Koenig Jerlmyr

- 04-12-2018
Anna Koenig Jerlmyr, mayor of Stockholm, has been elected as EUROCITIES new president, for the next two year term. We're eager to start working more closely with her, but before that, we put aside time to get to know her a little better:
1. As the new mayor of Stockholm and president of EUROCITIES we can hope to see and hear a lot from you. For now, why not tell us something about yourself: what is your favorite part of the job, and how have you prepared for these roles?
"The most important and rewarding part of my job as mayor of Stockholm is the possibility to improve the living conditions of our citizens in a really meaningful way. To provide our children and elderly with the quality education and care they deserve, to actively contribute to a more inclusive society with equal opportunities for all and to ensure that our citizens can feel safe and secure in public spaces. That is why I got into local politics, and why I find this job so rewarding. And after many years as vice mayor for social affairs and opposition vice mayor, I am very familiar with both the challenges Stockholm faces and the enormous potential and opportunities we have in our city.
"Digital solutions are becoming increasingly important and in Stockholm we are home to some of the most innovative companies and universities in the world. To actively work with them to develop new solutions for our city is something that I also really look forward to. Be it to improve the flow of traffic on our streets, reduce our carbon footprint or make it easier for all our citizens to take an active part in public life.
"Today we live in an interconnected world, and Stockholm has benefitted tremendously from Sweden's membership in the EU. We are a growing city and we rely on an open and integrated European market. The EU has enriched us both economically and culturally and to solve our challenges we need to work together. But to make sure that EU policies benefit as many citizens as possible the EU also needs to recognise the crucial role of cities for Europe's development. That is what EUROCITIES is all about, and this coming year will be vitally important for both Europe and EUROCITIES – from the UK's withdrawal from the EU to the European Parliament elections and our own internal review. I look forward to working with all our members to make sure that our voices are heard in the political discussions at EU level and build a network that is fit for the future!"
2. And what would you tell a first time visitor to Stockholm?
"There is so much to experience in Stockholm, but the thing that will probably strike most first-time visitors is the mix of vibrant city life and unspoiled nature. As a city built on 14 islands, in a country with more forest cover than any other in Europe, we have water and nature all around us. One place I would recommend in particular is the open-air museum Skansen on the island Djurgården. It is a perfect place for both children and grown-ups to learn more about our flora and fauna, and the Swedish way of life before the industrial era. Plus you have a truly fantastic view of the city from here. But I also have to recommend a visit to our city hall of course, which is home to the annual Nobel banquet, and truly worth a visit for its exterior architecture and interior design!
"But Stockholm is about so much more than just one place. It is about a way of life. Our city consistently ranks as one of the most innovative in Europe, and I think that you can see and feel that everywhere you go. From the lasting stamp that music and design have left on our city to the imagination of authors like Astrid Lindgren and Stieg Larsson, the openness of our citizens and their willingness to look forward and try new things. I love Stockholm and I really do invite everyone to come and visit!"
Thank you. And now onto more serious matters:
3. Ahead of the European elections, what needs to happen now to ensure results for cities and citizens in the next cycle?
"Climate change, rising inequality or threats to our security are challenges that are bigger than all of us. And they require cooperation, at all levels. No one will be able to solve them on their own. That's why we and cities from all over Europe work together within EUROCITIES and with EU institutions, civil society, academia and the business sector. To find solutions to common challenges and share experiences.
"EUROCITIES has been a symbol of European cooperation for over 30 years and I believe its core values of collaboration, tolerance and openness are as meaningful and important today as ever. Citizen engagement has been a key focus of our network in recent years, and rightly so. After all, a stronger EU has to start at the citizen level. That is also why EUROCITIES will continue to do what it has always done: Making sure that the urban voice is heard at EU level. Because working with cities, means working with citizens.
"But to ensure results for our citizens, we also need to have a more honest debate about the EU. I believe the tendency of some national politicians to shift blame for sensitive decisions to the European level is dangerous. The same is true for the tendency of many of us to look to the EU for solutions that it cannot possibly provide under the current division of competences. So, to ensure results, in my opinion, we also need to the change the general discourse on European cooperation."
4. At a time when the EU is facing growing scrutiny, what role is there for cities to contribute and lead in Europe?
"As the mayor of an EU capital and one of Europe's fastest growing cities I know how important the EU is for cities, and how beneficial it has been for our development. So at a time when many turn their backs on the EU, and on the values that we hold dear as a network, I believe city leaders have a responsibility to act. To stand up for a Europe built on tolerance and collaboration, and to be appreciative of the longest period of peace and prosperity that Europe has seen in over 2000 years.
"Standing up for the EU, however, does not mean that you should be uncritical towards it. In fact, I believe the opposite to be true. It is vitally important that we address issues of concern if we want to see a better future for the EU and, most importantly, for our citizens. And it does concern me that the EU is still not using the full potential of its cities.
"As the level of government closest to citizens, cities can provide national and EU leaders with crucial insights on challenges and opportunities on the ground. That is also why I call for a more open dialogue between cities, member states and the EU, building on the EU urban agenda framework. With our expertise, we can help develop better and more effective legislation that delivers real results. And more than anything else, that is what I believe will help the EU regain the trust of its citizens."
And let's cast ourselves into the future:
5. In two years' time, when you look back on your EUROCITIES presidency, what do you hope to have achieved?
"The past decade has been a period of great success for our network, but for Europe it has been a period of prolonged uncertainty. We can see a growing polarisation across the EU, and it seems likely that eurosceptic parties will make significant inroads in the coming European Parliament elections. With that in mind, I believe it is more important than ever that the voice of our cities is heard in the political discussions at EU level. Making a case for European cooperation and re-asserting EUROCITIES' position in the new political environment at EU level will therefore be one of my key priorities as president.
"Like any organisation, we need the right structures and tools to be successful. Our ongoing internal review has provided us with many ideas and insights and in 2019 we will need to take some important decisions. Given the political challenges at EU level, I believe the review could not have taken place at a better time. And I will work hard to ensure that EUROCITIES is as effective and resilient as it can be when I hand over the presidency to my successor in two years' time.
"One key issue that I also want to mention in this context is climate change. Cities are already frontrunners in this fight, but I believe we can do even more. We also have to, given that only a few EU member states are on track to reaching the targets of the Paris agreement. And that is something that I cannot accept, either as a mayor or as a citizen."
Thank you Anna, we look forward to working with you!
