Christian Dior made the gown, and they're setting the record straight.
She won for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook," but it's the linings of her dress making headlines.
On her way to the Screen Actor's Guild stage Sunday night, 23-year-old Lawrence stumbled as her couture Dior got caught under a chair.
She nearly falls and then -- a flash of skin as she walked up the stairs.
Lawrence showed grace under pressure, brushing off the incident.
"I fell on the ground. I don't know if they got that on camera. Did they?" Lawrence asked. "That's why I'm not going to watch it; it was a little bit on camera, I totally forgot. This train is going to murder me. Yeah, somebody's chair got stuck on my train or somebody's foot or something."
So what actually happened? The Internet lit up, demanding answers -- was there a wardrobe malfunction? Or a flaw in the fabric?
Not so, says the designer defending the dress, which debuted just eight days ago on the runway.
"The dress is made with different levels of tulle and satin, and that is what the viewers saw when Jennifer lifted her dress slightly. It was not ripped and there was no malfunction," a Christian Dior statement said.
But, as fashion designer to the stars Bradley Bayou of Bradley Bayou Couture points out, strutting down the catwalk is much different than walking in reality.
If she walking just down the runway, she would never have a reason to lift the dress up, so in this particuar dress, you never would have known that," he said.
Despite the slipup, there is a silver lining for Lawrence.
"I will never look at pictures of this night; that's the only true way to happiness," she said.
Lawrence's gown was designed by Raf Simons at Dior.
SAG's lead-acting honors Sunday went to Lawrence won for her role as a troubled widow in a shaky new relationship in the lost-souls romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War epic "Lincoln."
The supporting film awards Sunday went to Anne Hathaway of "Les Miserables" and Tommy Lee Jones of "Lincoln."
"It occurred to me - it was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln," said Day-Lewis, a solid front-runner to join an exclusive list of three-time acting Oscar winners. "And therefore, somehow it is only so fitting that every now and then an actor tries to bring him back to life again."
The international thriller "Argo," from director Ben Affleck, who also stars as a CIA operative orchestrating a daring rescue during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, received the top honor of best ensemble cast in a movie at Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Award.
The SAG cast win came a day after "Argo" claimed the top honor from the Producers Guild of America, whose winner often goes on to claim best picture at the Academy Awards. "Argo" also was a surprise victor two weeks ago at the Golden Globes, where it won best drama and director for Ben Affleck.
The award momentum positions "Argo" for a rare feat at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where it could become just the fourth film in 85 years to be named best picture without a nomination for its director.
"To me this has nothing to do with me, it has to do with the incredible people who were in this movie," said Affleck, who also stars in "Argo" and accepted the SAG prize alongside his cast.
It was a brisk, businesslike and fairly bland evening as the actors union handed out honors to a predictable lineup of winners who generally had triumphed at earlier Hollywood ceremonies or past SAG shows.
"Now I have this naked statue that means some of you even voted for me, and that is an indescribable feeling," ''Silver Linings" star Lawrence said after explaining she earned her SAG card at age 14 by filming a spot for MTV.
Hathaway won for her role as a doomed single mother forced into prostitution in the adaptation of the stage musical based on Victor Hugo's epic novel. Her win came over four past Oscar recipients - Sally Field, Helen Hunt, Nicole Kidman and Maggie Smith.
"I'm just thrilled I have dental," Hathaway said. "I got my SAG card when I was 14. It felt like the beginning of the world. I have loved every single minute of my life as an actor. ... Thank you for nominating me alongside incredible women and incredible performances."
Jones, who was not at the show, won for his turn as abolitionist firebrand Thaddeus Stevens in the Civil War epic. The win improves his odds to become a two-time Academy Award winner. He previously won a supporting-actor Oscar for "The Fugitive."
On the television side, with "30 Rock" ending its run, its stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin won the SAG awards for best comedy performers.
"Oh, my God. It's ridiculous," Baldwin said. "It's the end of our show, which is sad. Everybody is sad about that. It was the greatest experience I've ever had."
Fey gave a plug for the show's finale airing Thursday, noting that it's up against "The Big Bang Theory."
"Just tape 'The Big Bang Theory' for once, for crying out loud," Fey said.
"Modern Family" won for best overall cast in a TV comedy show. Accepting for the cast, "Modern Family" co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson offered thanks to the makers of "30 Rock" and another departing series, "The Office," saying "you all have set the comedy bar so high."
Ferguson joked that if the "30 Rock" or "The Office" stars need jobs, they should contact the "Modern Family" casting director.
The TV drama acting awards went to Claire Danes of "Homeland" and Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad."
"It is so good to be bad," Cranston said.
"Downton Abbey" won the TV drama cast award.
Julianne Moore's turn as Sarah Palin in "Game Change" earned her the TV prize for best actress in a movie or miniseries. Kevin Costner won for best actor in a movie or miniseries for "Hatfields & McCoys."
Fey, who memorably spoofed Palin herself in "Saturday Night Live" sketches, said backstage that Moore's performance was "incredible. She really disappeared into the character, she did a real film acting job. You wouldn't want a sketch acting job in that movie."
Earlier, the James Bond adventure "Skyfall" and the fantasy series "Game of Thrones" picked up prizes for best stunt work, honors announced on the red carpet before the official SAG Awards ceremony.
JoBeth Williams and Scott Bakula announced the winners, noting the value of stunt players, who often are overlooked for their contributions to film and television.
"The stunt men and women of our union are critical to the work that gets done," Bakula said. "They keep us healthy, they keep us alive, they keep us working. They keep our shows working."
The SAG honors are the latest show in a puzzling Academy Awards season in which Hollywood's top prize, the best-picture Oscar, looks up for grabs among several key nominees.
Honors from the actors union, next weekend's Directors Guild of America Awards and Saturday night's Producers Guild of America Awards - whose top honor went to "Argo" - typically help to establish clear favorites for the Oscars.
But Oscar night looks more uncertain this time after some top directing prospects, including Affleck for "Argo" and Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty," missed out on nominations. Both films were nominated for best picture, but a movie rarely wins the top Oscar if its director is not also in the running.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" would seem the Oscar favorite with 12 nominations. Yet all of the triumphs for "Argo" leave the Oscar race looking like anybody's guess.
The SAG honors at least should help to establish solid front-runners for the stars. All four of the guild's individual acting winners often go on to receive the same prizes at the Academy Awards.
The SAG cast prize has a spotty record at predicting the eventual best-picture recipient at the Oscars. Only eight of 17 times since the guild added the category has the cast winner gone on to take the best-picture Oscar. "The Help" won the guild's cast prize last year, while Oscar voters named "The Artist" as best picture.
Such past guild cast winners as "The Birdcage," ''Gosford Park" and "Inglourious Basterds" also failed to take the top Oscar.
Receiving the guild's life-achievement award was Dick Van Dyke, who presented the same prize last year to his "The Dick Van Dyke Show" co-star, Mary Tyler Moore.
After waiting on stage for a prolonged standing ovation to end, Van Dyke said, "That does an old man a lot of good."

|Affordable and accessible beachfront real estate is becoming harder to find these days in Belize, so this property represents an unmissable opportunity.
Wonderfully located overlooking the Caribbean sea, near the northern start point of the Placencia peninsula, this property enjoys the additional advantage of being situated on Caribbean Way, a peaceful side road off from the main road. Access is currently being improved further with the paving of this route and is due for completion in 2009.
The Lot is ready for building your dream home. Electric is nearby and the Lot requires no fill prior to construction. It is approximately 2 feet higher in elevation than most of the surrounding area and also has an unusually long depth of 228 feet. With 75 feet of sandy Caribbean beachfront you will have an unobstructed view straight out to the horizon.
Much of the varied coastal bush vegetation remains intact and has not been clear-cut.
Approximately, 200 feet offshore from the beach of this property, within easy snorkeling distance, is a sizable area of live coral. This makes the area one of the best points on the whole peninsula for snorkeling from the beach allowing you easy access to this underwater world whenever you choose, virtually from your own doorstep.
Offered at:
One Hundred & Seventy Thousand US Dollars

The move, which is expected to be announced in the Commons this week, is part of a substantial deployment of extra troops to Iraq and comes as tensions throughout the country continue to rise.
Six US soldiers were injured in Baghdad yesterday and four Iraqis were shot dead in two other incidents in central Baghdad. Meanwhile, feelings were running high in Falluja, where an explosion at a mosque on Monday killed 10 Iraqis.
The attacks on American troops came hours after the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, insisted that US forces were not quagmired in a new Vietnam.
The plan for an international peacekeeping force has been pushed by the US which is desperate to take the pressure off its forces in Iraq.
It is also a tacit recognition that British and US forces need reinforcements to maintain order.
Britain already has 11,000 troops in the south of the country. According to British and US defence sources, they will be supplemented by more than 5,000 soldiers from Denmark, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Romania, New Zealand and Lithuania.
A second international force, deployed elsewhere in Iraq, is expected to be led by Poland. There were reports yesterday that a third peacekeeping force will be established, possibly led by India.
General Richard Myers, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, said yesterday that up to 20,000 foreign troops were "gearing up" to go to Iraq. The flow of troops would start this month or next and probably finish in September, he said.
"The more that are there, the fewer US troops we have to have ... we will fill in with as many international forces as we can, and we will then be able to rotate some of our forces out and give them a rest," Mr Rumsfeld said.
Twenty-two US and six British soldiers have died since President George Bush declared the end to major combat operations on May 1.
American soldiers were targeted in two attacks yesterday. In Baghdad, three soldiers were wounded in an attack on their Humvee jeep.
Witness Malik Abid Ali, 37, who works in a plant shop, said the attack happened near the Muntansiriyah petrol station around 10am. "There was a long queue for petrol and two Humvee cars passed in the outside lane," he said. "Suddenly one exploded."
In another attack yesterday, a rocket-propelled grenade reportedly hit a US truck in Mahmudiyah, 12 miles south of Baghdad. Australian Lieutenant Gabrielle Turnbull, a spokeswoman for the coalition forces, told the Associated Press that the attack injured three US soldiers with the 18th Military Police Brigade.
On Monday, Mr Rumsfeld denied the coalition forces were facing a prolonged guerrilla war. A European diplomat in Baghdad said: "Mr Rumsfeld may be right in that it's not an organised guerrilla war here. But with trouble from looters, criminals, terrorists with external backing, certain Shia groups and diehard Ba'athists, the effect might be just the same and it makes the task of normalisation in Iraq that much harder."
Paul Bremer, the US administrator in Iraq, said yesterday that evidence from captured or killed assailants showed professional commandos from Saddam Hussein's old power structure were behind recent attacks on occupying forces. "They're on the losing side of history," he added.
The majority of attacks on US soldiers have come in the "Sunni triangle" north and west of Baghdad, where Operation Sidewinder is concentrating. Repeated sweeps in the area have angered the population and complicated the "hearts and minds" component of the operation.
The explosion late on Monday at a mosque in Falluja, 35 miles west of Baghdad, killed its imam, Sheikh Laith Khalil, and at least nine Iraqi civilians.
Locals blamed a US missile or bomb but American soldiers insisted it was probably caused by explosives hidden at the site.
Captain Tim Ives, of the US 3rd Infantry, said: "There was no external source to the explosion. The US forces were not in the area when it happened. No aircraft were in the air at the time. The walls of the building had been blown out and the roof collapsed. That is consistent with an explosion from the inside." An investigation was under way.
Residents near the mosque refused to accept the army's explanation. Qahtan Adnan al- Kubeisi, 33, lives opposite. "The Americans fired a missile from the air and the blood of the sheikh was shed," he said as he stepped through the wreckage.
"We are tribal people here. We must take revenge for the deaths of our sons. Until now we didn't take the path of Jihad. But as they started against us, we will declare jihad against them."

If you do not know what a capture card is, I'm here to inform you. A capture card is an external accessory that you can plug a USB and display connection into such as HDMI or component cables and record your gameplay to hard drive storage. If that sounds complicated it is not too bad once you get things set up and experiment with it.
I know a lot of people will say well Xbox One already has streaming and recording built into its software. That is true, but the fact is the software has severe limitations. The work around to these limitations is purchasing a capture card.
I have realized sharing gameplay on social media is big for younger gamers these days so I wanted to make this the first topic of coverage. Capture cards make all of this possible with as little effort required. They are the easy button of streaming and recording video game action. YouTube, the most popular video sharing website owned by Google, is one of the most popular outlets for gamers to post their walkthroughs and other types of footage.
Setting up a well functioning recording and streaming 'studio'. What do you need?
The first thing you will want to get familiar with is OBS or Xsplit. OBS is short for Open Broadcaster Software and is the best free option. It works on Windows 7, 8, or 10 and both OSX and Linux. Xsplit is a paid option and is the best for the money. You buy a license and you get a key that is good for as long as the license lasts. They have 36 month, 12 month, and 3 month license duration. Of course the longer one is more expensive, but works out to being a smaller cost per month.
The second thing you will want to purchase is a capture card. This is a hardware accessory that sometimes comes with software like OBS or Xsplit. However, most of the add on software is bad and you'll want to use OBS or Xsplit anyway. The good news is that all the top capture cards are compatible with OBS and Xsplit.
I highly recommend a capture card that utilizes USB 3.0 technology. This allows you to capture high quality video with almost no latency at all. Check out these capture cards for USB 3.0:
- Razer Ripsaw
- Avermedia Live Gamer Extreme
Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro
The Elgato actually is what is called an internal capture card. It plugs into a PC's PCIe slot like a graphics card or other piece of hardware would.

QUEENS — An Ivy-League educated lawyer accused of strangling and beating his budding financial executive girlfriend to death in their Astoria apartment is expected to turn himself in, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said on Friday.
Jason Bohn, 33, who's suspected of murdering Danielle Thomas, 27, has been in contact with the Queens District Attorney's office, said Kelly, who added that there were no details on where or when Bohn would turn himself in.
Sources said that Bohn was believed to be in Florida, where he has friends and family.
Thomas, a Kentucky native, was found inside an ice-filled bath tub at their apartment on 33rd Street Tuesday night, beaten and strangled.
"She knew people were the most important part of life," said heartbroken ex-boyfriend Travis Marsh, 30, of California. "She did everything she could to make the world a better place. It's crushing that we lost her."
The news of Bohn's possible surrender came as details emerged that police and friends had tried to protect Thomas — who just months ago moved to the city to pursue a dream job at Weight Watchers — from Bohn.
Cops packed up Thomas' belongings and moved her to a hotel in Brooklyn after she tried to break up with him, sources said. He had allegedly unleashed a torrent of harasssing emails to her on June 7, including one while the victim was at the 114th Precinct stationhouse reporting that Bohn had physically abused her.
Bohn was charged with assault, aggravated harassment and harassment, and an order of protection was issued, according to the office of Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Cops also put Thomas in touch with the domestic violence victims' services organization Safe Horizon.
Yet at some point she left the hotel and returned to the apartment in Astoria she shared with Bohn, sources said.
According to sources, investigators repeatedly tried to get in touch with her, leaving phone messages and a note on her apartment door, but got no response.
Then on June 22, the DA's office received a message from Thomas saying that she had spoken to Bohn's lawyer and no longer wanted to press charges, sources said.
Four days later, Thomas was found dead.
The couple, who met at the University of Florida where both were attending graduate school, had a long history of problems, with neighbors describing hearing yelling coming from their apartment on several occasions.
Their issues started before Thomas moved to the city from Florida, where she was working for Disney, to join Bohn, who had moved up months earlier.
On New Year's Eve, Thomas and Bohn allegedly got into an argument, friends said. He stormed off in a rage, leaving her stranded in the city and frantically looking for a hotel room to spend the night.
"From the day he ditched on New Year's Eve, everyone didn't want to hang out with him, didn't want to see him, didn't want to know him," said Dimitri Constantine, 27, a friend from Florida. "We tried our best to get her away from him.
"Everyone tried to convince her."
After Bohn, who sources said had prior arrests for pot possession and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, allegedly beat Thomas on May 24, leaving her with bruises, she brought her mom to New York to stay with her.
After her mom left, Bohn allegedly came unhinged when she tried to break up with him, terrorizing her with a series of emails calling her a "whore" and "moron."
When she went to the precinct that day to report a series of threatening phone calls from Bohn, he allegedly called to taunt her.
"It's war," he allegedly yelled. "I'll dedicate my life to hunting you down like a dog in the streets. I am going to make your life impossible."
Immediately after Thomas filed charges against Bohn earlier this month, she took to Facebook to tell friends she needed help and that she realized she was in an abusive relationship.
She sought refuge with friends in Texas, but ultimately went back to Bohn in New York.
"She was the type of girl that just saw the bright side of everything," Dimitri Constantine said. "She was always the best of the best at everything."
Larry Nestella, 38, a building inspector who lives in the same Astoria building as an ex-girlfriend of Bohn's, said that Bohn stopped by the day before he allegedly killed Thomas to walk his ex's dog.
Bohn lived with the woman when they were dating and the two men would often talk politics at a local diner and throw around the football in the backyard.
When he heard the news that Bohn was being sought for Thomas' murder, he was stunned.
"I stood up and said out loud, 'This guy is my neighbor!'" Nestella said. "He was introverted, but if you got to know him, he seemed loyal and friendly."
Judith Kahan, CEO of the Brooklyn-based Center Against Domestic Violence, said Bohn's alleged behavior fits a pattern of textbook abuse.
"Most women who are trapped in these relationships are being controlled by an abuser," Kahan said. "There are many ways to control women. It could be sexual, it could be emotional, it could be violence."
Last year, police responded to 257,813 domestic violence incidents, averaging out to over 700 incidents a day, according to the Mayor's Office to Combat Domestic Violence.
The domestic violence unit conducted 73,016 home visits in 2010, a 91 percent increase since 2002.

rules & guidelines
I. General
We are comprised of many different players from many different backgrounds, so the most important thing to remember when on the site, above all, is be respectful. We will not tolerate any bullying, harassment, or any other form of disrespect on the site. Likewise, you can expect that the staff will treat you with respect as well.
If you encounter any disrespect on the site or something you see makes you uncomfortable, please PM a staff member, with any screenshots or logs if applicable.
ii. registration + sorting
When registering, please register with a first and last name with proper capitalization. If you accidentally register in the wrong format, you can PM an admin, or request a name change under 'My Controls'. When choosing your OOC name, check out the member directory HERE to see which aliases are already in use.
After registering, you will need to be validated by email. This is in order to prevent spambots from bogging up the site. If you don't see an automated email, check your spam folder, or PM an admin!
If you live with someone who is also on WURR, or if you share a computer with someone who is on WURR, please let a member of staff know. This has been a problem in the past and we would like to avoid any confusion, especially because of our character creation system.
All Sorting forms should be completed when posted. Please see the guidelines for posting an app HERE. An admin will sort you as soon as they see your application--usually within a few minutes. Please do not PM an admin or ask in the cbox when you will be sorted.
Do not post a WIP/incomplete/in-progress sorting form. Unfinished sorting forms will NOT be sorted, as they do not meet the necessary requirements, and may be removed at admin discretion.
III. character creation
All members of WURR may start off with two characters. One is your main character and the second is a freebie character. For any characters beyond the first two, you must ask for admin permission and meet the requirements below:
Our Character Creation Requirements~
- Request Admin Permission with the form below
- 2 weeks since your last character was created
- 25 posts on your last character
- 2 in-character posts OR 1 in-character post and 2 individual Owl threads (with at least two replies in each owl). All made by your last regular character within the last 3 months. Please keep in mind that an in-character post is an RP post. It can be a topic starter or a reply to another thread.
You absolutely may not create another character without meeting these requirements on your last character unless their character type is exempt or you've shelved a character to open up a slot. Freebie characters and exempt specialty characters would not be considered as the last character you've created. Any regular characters created without meeting the above requirements will be deleted and you will receive a suspension. So don't do it guys, just follow the rules.
You must use the following form to request a character or your request will not be accepted:
|[b]Name:[/b] [b]Characters:[/b] [b]Post Count for last character:[/b] [b]Join Date of last character:[/b] [b]Threads for last character:[/b] List them here!
At this time, there is no limit on the number of characters that you can create. We simply ask that you are active with all the characters that you have or that you shelve/delete them when they are no longer being used. To keep your face claim, we require that you post twice in two months. Any character that does not meet these activity requirements runs the risk of losing their face claim.
Freebie characters are special in the sense that they never count against any character creation requirements. You can make them at any point after you make your first character with no waiting required. Every member is allowed one. Simply say that a character is a freebie character in the 'permission' section of the application. Freebie characters can be shelved or deleted but you may only exchange your freebie character once. After that, no other character can take freebie status even if you shelve or delete them again. Please note that you don't have to make your freebie character right away or ever. That decision is up to you!
Exempt Character Types These are specialty characters created as awards for putting characters through the ranking system. As they are incentives, they are also exempt from any character creation rules and are earned by achieving a certain rank. Because these specialty characters function differently, they can be shelved but they can only be exchanged for another specialty character and not anything else. They are as follows:
- • Clash Only (available at Novice)
• Ghost (available at Beginner)
• Hogsmeade Resident (available at Intermediate OR Advanced)
• Creature/Beast (available at Intermediate OR Advanced)
• Special Request Characters (available at Intermediate OR Advanced) - these characters may start out with their special request IF the character who achieves intermediate or advanced themselves did not use their special request option.
Use the following form to request one of the incentive types listed above:
|[b]Name:[/b] [b]Special Character Type:[/b] [b]Ranked Character:[/b] The character you earned this incentive with! [b]Anything Else?:[/b] Tell us about their special request, or any other pertinent details!
Professor characters function a little differently. They are subject to the character creation requirements and they are not allowed to be first characters as they are notoriously a little more difficult to plot with. To create one you first need to make sure that your class is available by visiting the teaching guide After that, PM an administrator for approval and ask that they reserve the class you want. Your reserve will be added to the teaching guide and will last for a month. Then once you've made them and they're sorted, don't forget to claim your class in the guide itself! Please note that professor characters must post one class per term or risk losing that class altogether and that you are only allowed to create one.
Hogwarts Staff: Groundskeeper, Librarian, etc. These characters keep Hogwarts running behind the scenes. To keep such positions these characters need an in-character post every sixty days. They are also not allowed to be made as a first character and you may only create one. You can, however, have both a professor and a member of Hogwarts staff.
At some point you might find yourself with no muse for a certain character. It happens to the best of us and that's totally fine! In that case, you may PM an admin to shelve or delete that character. This exchange opens up a free character slot for you to use to make someone else without having to meet the creation requirements. It does not expire. Shelved characters can only post in certain OOC sections and their face-claims are removed and considered up for grabs.
Later on if you decide that you would like to bring back a character you have shelved, you must treat them as if you were creating a new character and thus meet the requirements to have them unshelved unless you never filled that open character slot. Then they would simply take that spot once more.
You must have a character for at least two weeks before you are allowed to shelve them.
Deletion means your character's account is completely erased from the board. There is no going back after that. If you decide you want to play them again, you would have to re-register. If you delete all your characters, you are eligible to start over with the same number of characters you deleted.
iv. posting
Please do not use post templates, change font colors, or add emoticons in your posts. Please also keep out OOC conversation or notes out of your posts as well.
Please do not powerplay/godmod in your posts. The only character you should be moving in a post is your own character, or any NPCs if applicable.
All posted replies should be complete! Do not post WIPs as replies to a thread, as this only leads to confusion.
Written works for RP posts on the main board should be in third person. Role playing in the Trophy Case area may be written in any style.
Additionally, please do not PM any of your partners nagging them for replies. If it's been a couple of weeks since you've heard from somebody, it's okay to shoot them a PM, but repeated nagging brought to staff attention will result in a warning. Please remember that not everyone on WURR has the same availability, and as such, posting speed will vary from person to person.
Plagiarism is absolutely not tolerated in any form. If we discover you have in any way tried to pass off others' writing as your own, we will ban you immediately
v. suitable content
As the age range of our members vary, Wizarding Realm has a content rating of PG-13. In the context of the RPG Rating system, we are a 2-2-2 board. Please click the button below for further information regarding the RPG Rating system.
To elaborate:
- • If your characters are having sex, please fade-to-black.
• Only characters 4th year and 14 years old and older may engage in sex; younger than that may have suggestive thoughts or encounters (eg. kissing or light touching is acceptable).
• References to past encounters are fine.
• Swearing is allowed, however warnings at the top of a post are encouraged.
• Violence is allowed but explicit acts of violence must be run past a staff member before you carry them out.
• Illegal activity such as underage drinking/partying/drugs/etc. is allowed, however if they escalate (alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.) we ask that you check with an administrator before continuing.
Singular or brief occurrences of any of these activities should come with a warning at the top of the post containing the activity. For prolonged occurrences of these activities, we ask that you be proactive and PM a staff member to have a [R] marker placed at the front of the thread in question.
There are three different types of [R] tags:
- • [R] is for triggering content
• [R] is for sexual content
• [R] is for explicit language
The [R] marker does not mean the thread is now rated R. The [R] marker simply means that the thread contains multiple instances of the corresponding topic and readers should be aware of this. If you think your thread should be tagged with an R, simply poke a staffer.
We allow histories and characters with illnesses, mental and physical, and abuse, whether it be substance, physical, emotional, etc. However, please run this past a member of staff for approval before you post your sorting, as we would like to keep this site a comfortable environment for all. Please be respectful in your writing towards these issues, and make sure they are rounded in other terms, not just the matter in question.
Hot topics that are absolutely not allowed are as follows:
- • Racism
• Homophobia
• Transphobia
• Rape
• Religious discrimination
• Teenage pregnancy
• Real world politics
• Human Trafficking
• Professor-student relationships
• Incest
If we see this occurring, the posts in question will be deleted, and the participants warned. For other potentially hot topics that are not listed above, whether in a plot or in a character, please run your idea past an administrator before commencing the plot. At any point in time, the admins reserve the right to stop a plot if they feel it is not being handled respectfully. Please be proactive! The administrators are here to make sure nothing gets too out of hand and not specifically to limit you <3
Out-of-character discussion of potentially triggering topics must be limited to private conversations, such as PMs or a 3rd party messenger.
vi. warning system
Our warning system is structured like this:
Plagiarism: Plagiarism will result in an instant and permanent ban. We will not tolerate plagiarism on Wizarding Realm in any way, shape, or form.
Unauthorized Character Creation: If we find you have unauthorized character accounts, we will take the following actions:
- • 1st offense: All unauthorized accounts deleted. Authorized accounts temporarily banned for 1/2 month per unauthorized character, with a limit of 6 months at maximum.
• 2nd offense: Permanent ban
Harassment and/or Content Violations: For these offenses, and all other offenses staff deems necessary, we will make us of JCINK's built in warning system. You can find your warn level by going to your user profile and looking in the top left column, above your rep points. For repeated violations, we operate as such:
- • 1st offense: PM warning and reminder of the rules
• 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. offense: 20% warn increase
If your warn level reaches a certain level, you may receive an additional suspension:
- • If your warn level reaches 60% you will receive a week suspension.
• If your warn level reaches 80% you will receive a month suspension.
• If your warn level reaches 100% you will be banned.
If you have received a warn level increase, after a suitable period of time the admins may decrease your warn level by 20% at their discretion.
Bullying: Bullying will not be tolerated in this community and will thus be met with the following sanctions:
- • 1st offense: Warning Increase of 20% or 40% and accounts temporarily banned for 1 or 2 months depending on how widespread the issue has become.
• 2nd offense: Permanent ban.
Note that people who have received a warning increase will not be awarded priviledged positions on the site (such as prefect, head student, review team, or wand maker) for at least 3 months, as we do not reward bad behaviour.
c-box rules
The cbox is rated a high PG, low PG-13. This rating is lower than the rating of the rest of the site. This means that you should limit your discussions of sexual natures and extreme violence. This rule applies to any and all content, including links and choices of avatar. A good general rule of thumb is that if a parent, boss, or teacher were beside you and you'd be embarrassed to be seen typing what you want to type, you shouldn't type it.
That being said, please do not curse in the box. It does not look good to potential members. We have a filter, but please refrain from it anyways.
You can register yourself for the cbox by typing in your OOC Name into the "name" field and clicking "profile." You MUST use only your OOC Name.
You should only have a maximum of two names in use in the cbox. Due to the structure of the cbox itself, when you log in on another device, you are logged out of all other devices, which can be annoying when you're not on your usual chatting device. As such, we recommend you use your two cbox names like this: one as your main name, which you use on your regular chatting device, and one mobile name when you are on a different device. Your mobile name still indicate your OOC name in some way. (ex. Harry and flooing!Harry)
To add an icon next to your OOC name, first get a direct link to a square image/gif. A direct link will end in: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif. Then paste that direct link into the URL portion. When choosing an avatar, we request that you limit yourself to your own face claims or images that do not contain real people. Do not use a face that is taken by someone else. In addition to keeping all icons appropriate, please refrain from using gifs that feature flashing colors or quick jump cuts. If you are concerned your gif does not fit these standards, don't hesitate to ask a staffer. Staff reserves the right to ask users to change their icons if they are in violation of the aforementioned rules.
Do not spam in the cbox. While we have eliminated the 3 post rule, we ask that you use good judgment and do not post excessively. If you want to talk with one person specifically for an extended period of time, PM or an instant messenger such as MSN or Skype are better for that. If you are unsure as to what constitutes "spamming," please ask a staffer. If you see someone spamming the cbox, please PM a staffer concerning the individual in question, and allow us to handle it!
Do not advertise in the cbox. Do not post advertisements to other sites, do not ask people to review your profile, do not nag for a wand, and do not nag people to reply to a thread. You can make a callout now and then to see if anyone is interested in an RP or plotting, but please try your best to limit these occurrences.
Do not test the patience of the staff regarding the cbox. This goes with item number one, BE RESPECTFUL.
And remember, the same rules apply in the cbox as the rest of the site. Don't nag, don't whine, don't advertise, etc.
viii. member conduct
If you are having a conflict with another member, please do not drag it into threads on the site, or drag other site members into the conflict. If you are caught doing so, you may be exposed to receive warn increases as per our warning system.
On Advertising: We do have an advertising board, and that board is the only place where advertising is allowed. If we discover you have tried to advertise or ask people to join your site on the cbox or through PM, we will ban you immediately.
On Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the taking of another person's words, ideas, or concepts without giving due credit. You see this word most often in school, when your teachers tell you to write a paper and add in a works cited page. Basically it's thoughts-stealing. Diabolical.
What's wrong with that?
Well for starters, it's RUDE. Imagine working yourself up into crazy character-madness-land over a post, a profile, a graphic, anything, putting in the work and effort to create it, and then having someone take it without asking, passing it off as their own work. You'd be upset, right? Even though they didn't sneak in through your window and steal your TV, you'd still feel like something had been stolen from you.
On the other side, and just as importantly, it's doing yourself a disservice. By taking someone else's work and passing it for your own, you've lost both a sense of accomplishment at having created something wonderful and a bit of your personal integrity. Creating something, be it words, art or craft, is one of the absolute best things you can ever do. It makes you a better person and the world a better place.
What if you get CAUGHT?!
So we've already established that plagiarising makes you a bit of a rude buttface. Well, here we have a no rude buttface policy. On Wizarding Realm, when you are caught plagiarising, be it of another member's RP, a fictional work beyond WR, or a factual/informative text -- banishment is immediate. YOU WILL BE BANNED, and all parties involved will be informed. Sadly, we've had to do it before and we won't ask for excuses. Plagiarism is one of the most serious crimes on Internet RPG sites; we don't take it lightly, and neither should you.
There's always another way...
If you want to reference someone's turn of phrase, their ideas or an event from one of their stories, but you're not sure if it might be dipping into plagiarism, then giving credit to that person is always the best and safest solution. It lets people know that you respect the hard work of your fellow creators, are inspired by it, and are able to spin off awesome things from there!
And of course, coming up with completely new awesome ideas of your own is always exciting!
ix. graphics
Furthermore, please try to keep all signatures and avatars on the site of a PG-13 nature. Absolutely no obscenity or genitalia is allowed.
If you make a face claim, please use that face claim--it's not fair to everyone else if you make the claim and then never use it.
Images in signatures should be no wider than 500 pixels, and we ask that you try not to stretch your signatures vertically too much. If you stack two signature-sized images together, your signature is too wide.
GIFs are not allowed in signatures or avatars.
x. miscellaneous
Staff reserves the right to change these rules at any time. We will let you know if these rules are changed, but you should check back often and make sure you're up-to-date. And of course, as always, please feel free to ask a staff member if you have any questions whatsoever!

US prosecutors will announce charges later today against an insider trading ring that hacked disseminators of news releases, a source said.
A group of cyber-criminals from Ukraine stole press releases about corporate news before it was made public, the source told Reuters, before passing the information to a group of traders, who were mostly based in the US.
The case, brought jointly by the US Attorney's offices in Brooklyn and New Jersey, claims the group reaped at least $30m (£19m) by using the inside information to make trades in hundreds of companies, including Fortune 500 firms, according to the source, who said the lead trader in the case is suspected of making more than $17m.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Bureau of Investigation and Secret Service have all been involved in the matter, the source said, but the federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and New Jersey could not immediately be reached for comment outside regular US business hours.
The case is the largest known suspected case of hacking that resulted in insider trading and marks the first time prosecutors have alleged that a securities fraud scheme was based entirely on hacked inside information.
Until now, the SEC has brought only a handful of civil cases against hackers such as the 2007 case against Ukrainian trader Oleksandr Dorozhko, which accused him of hacking into IMS Health and stealing information on earnings that he used to make profitable options trades. In 2010, a federal court ordered him to pay $580,000.
The source said the case is not believed to be related to the ongoing SEC investigation of insider trading tied to a hacker group that has been dubbed FIN4, which tried to break into email accounts of more than 100 companies and made off with material information on mergers and other issues.

Volume 15, Number 12: 21 March 2012
Writing in Ecology Letters, Zak et al. (2011) indicate that both an insufficient amount of soil nitrogen (N) and an overabundance of atmospheric ozone (O3) have often been claimed to either partially or totally repress the many positive effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on plant growth and development, especially in the case of long-lived woody plants such as trees; but they state that the combined effects of elevated CO2 and O3 (eCO2 and eO3) "remain undocumented in the context of long-term, replicated field experiments." And to fill this void, they describe how they conducted such an experiment and what they learned from it.
Working at the Rhinelander (Wisconsin, USA) FACE facility, the four researchers tell how in 1997 they planted one-half of each of 12 FACE plots with various trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) genotypes (8, 42, 216, 259, 271) of differing CO2 and O3 sensitivities, while one-quarter of each ring was planted with a single aspen genotype (226) and paper birch (Betula papyrifera), and another quarter of each ring was planted with the same single aspen genotype and sugar maple (Acer saccharum). These treatments, each of which was replicated four times, were maintained for the following twelve years at either ambient CO2 and O3 (aCO2 and aO3), aCO2 and eO3, eCO2 and aO3, or eCO2 and eO3 - where eCO2 was 560 ppm, and where eO3 was in the range of 50-60 nmol/mol - while numerous types of pertinent data were concurrently collected.
In reference to the notorious progressive nitrogen limitation hypothesis, Zak et al. (2011) say they "found no evidence of this effect after 12 years of eCO2 exposure." In fact, they report that relative to net primary production (NPP) under aCO2, there was a 26% increase in NPP over the last three years of the study, which for a more standard 300-ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration equates to an approximate 42% increase in NPP, which they say "was sustained by greater root exploration of soil for growth-limiting N, as well as more rapid rates of liter decomposition and microbial N release during decay."
With respect to the concomitant stress of O3 pollution, the researchers report that "despite eO3-induced reductions in plant growth that occurred early in the experiment (i.e., after three years of exposure), eO3 had no effect on NPP during the 10th-12th years of exposure," which response, in their words, "appears to result from the compensatory growth of eO3-tolerant genotypes and species as the growth of eO3-sensitive individuals declined over time (Kubiske et al., 2007; Zak et al., 2007), thereby causing NPP to attain equivalent levels under ambient O3 and elevated O3."
In discussing various aspects of their long-term findings, Zak et al. (2011) state that "NPP in the three plant communities responded similarly to the combined eCO2 and eO3 treatment." And they say that "given the degree to which eO3 has been projected to decrease global NPP (Felzer et al., 2005), the compensatory growth of eO3-tolerant plants in our experiment should be considered in future simulations and, depending on the generality of this response, could dramatically diminish the negative effect of eO3 on NPP and carbon storage on land as well as projected increases in anthropogenic CO2 and climate warming (Stitch et al., 2007)."
Continuing in this vein, the four researchers ultimately conclude - contrary to the analysis of Norby et al. (2010) - that if forests of similar composition growing throughout northeastern North America respond in the same manner as those in their experiment (Cole et al., 2009), then enhanced forest NPP under eCO2 may be sustained for a longer duration than had previously been thought possible. In addition, they suggest that "the negative effect of eO3 may be diminished by compensatory growth of eO3-tolerant plants as they begin to dominate forest communities (Kubiske et al., 2007; Zak et al., 2007), suggesting that aspects of biodiversity like genetic diversity and species composition are important components of ecosystem response to this agent of global change."

Hi All!
This is going to be a 2 part post.
First, the obvious (based on the title) My wife shoots with a D750. I need to upgrade my camera, and I'm torn between the three listed above. The 750 shoots quite well - we've been very impressed. Is it worth the extra money to go with the 800 or the 810? Any Pros/Cons? Words of advice? We solely shoot weddings and engagements.
Second, what would you say is your favorite "money lens"? The one where you can hold your camera up in the air, at a 45 degree angle, and in poor lighting and still somehow get an amazing picture with? I'm partial to primes, but I am in the market for a zoom at the moment.

Art Love for the New Year
From top left to right: Fantastic beach photo by Jorge De La Torriente, winner of the Aerial Photography section in the Hasselblad Masters Awards 2018. There were 31,000 entries for the 11 categories and some amazing stuff. See the full image and all the winners at Fubiz. Life-like detailed embroidery by stage and costume desinger and freelance illustrator Ezgi Pamir. See more of her work at I Need a Guide and on her Instagram. I love Salman Khoshroo's paintings! Using a large palette knife and huge dollops of paint, he can construct portraits and figures that are so full of meaning and movement but with minimal detail. First seen at I Need a Guide. Have a tree that needs painting? Russian artist Eugenia Dudnikova can help. She paints whimsical watercolours on tree trunks, full of poetry and unexpectedness. See more at Fubiz.

Will "AggroWill" Greenwald presents a new regular video feature: Loot Drop! When geek toys lean much closer to "toy" than "gadget" and are aimed more at either kids or collectors, Will is there to take a look. Nerf guns, giant robots, novelty appliances, and Japanese import figures — all find a place on Will's bench.
This week is Hasbro's Captain America: The Winter Soldier tie-in role-playing toy line. Captain America Super Soldier Gear includes the Stealthfire Shield, Battle Helmet, and Recon Rangefinder — a shield, mask, and scope, respectively, with role-play and projectile gimmicks.
All three toys include some sort of blaster feature, and have interlocking connectors so you can mix and match different parts. The Battle Helmet comes with a small plastic rocket launcher that clips to the side of the mask, the Recon Rangefinder unfolds into a plastic disc-shooting gun, and the Stealthfire Shield has a hidden four-shot Nerf gun built into the star in the middle.
The Stealthsfire Shield is the stand-out toy, just because of how stupidly fun it is. Pull the lever back and a four-shot Nerf gun spins out of the logo in the middle. After you fire four times, the gun retracts automatically. It looks cool despite being silly, though it won't replace your Nerf Maverick any time soon.
For cube warfare, all three toys are sadly kind of lame. The plastic darts and discs will get lost in minutes, and none of the toys seem to be able to send their projectiles farther than ten feet. That includes the Stealthfire Shield, which shoots inconsistently and seldom sent darts a greater distance than I could toss them myself. Nerf modders might want to play with the mechanism and see if they can turn it into a real cube weapon and not a novelty shield with an unreliable holdout blaster inside.
Hasbro's Captain America Super Soldier Gear is available at most toy stores and other large retailers. The Stealthfire Shield and Battle Helmet retail for $19.99 each, and the Recon Rangefinder retails for $9.99. The shield's really fun even if it doesn't shoot very well, but you can find better Nerf guns and less expensive Cap masks outside of the Super Soldier Gear line.

Candy corn and other candy packages have taken over an entire aisle and customs fill up most of another aisle in the stores. Wispy appearances of ghosts, globins, and witches seem to be permeating the area.
With Halloween this coming Monday, Pun Alley can't resist going there for some haunts and ghostly stories.
Actually, "Halloween" is a distortion of its original name. A long ago butcher tradition was to give customers empty sausage skins at the end of October. This day was known as Hollow Weenie Day.
Frankly Frankenstein
Despite his evil reputation, Frankenstein actually had a good sense of humor; he kept his monster in stitches. When the monster rose from the table and spat on the ground, the proud doctor exclaimed, "It's saliva! It's saliva!"
Doctor Frankenstein's assistant, Igor, was also a doctor and together they were a pair o' docs.
When they decided to stop making monsters, Igor found a new job at an auto dealership as parts manager.
Frankenstein has a new ghoul friend. He'd previously dated a lady scarecrow but went from rags to witches.
Little haunts
People who play the stock market are happy on Halloween because it's ticker treat night.
During the day baby ghosts go to day scare centers.
There aren't any famous skeletons because they're a bunch of no bodies.
You don't have to be concerned about Daylight Saving Time at Halloween. The holiday is always on Green Witch Mean Time.
You always find ghouls and demons together because demons are a ghoul's best friend.
Programmers get Christmas and Halloween mixed up because 25 DEC equals 31 OCT.
Mummies hide by wearing masking tape.
If you broke your Jack-o-lantern you can fix it with a pumpkin patch.
Two ghosts were arguing. One wanted to do something difficult. The other ghost said, "You don't stand a man of a chance!"
A boy carried a clock and a bird on Halloween. It was for tick or tweet.
A ghost was assigned to a new territory. After a few days he asked the boss ghost, "Can I go back to my old haunts?"
If you see twin witches you won't be able to tell which witch is which.
On Halloween, a little boy knocked on John's door. The boy took a look at John's wife in her mudpack and gave her his candy.
Pointed advice
"Oh, doctor," cried a wild-eyed man, "I'm dreadfully afflicted. The ghosts of my departed relatives come and perch on the tops of the fence posts all around my garden when dusk is falling. I can look out any evening and see a couple of dozen spooks sitting on the fence, waiting, waiting, and waiting. What shall I do?"
"Sharpen the tops of the posts," advised the doctor.
Yummy mummy tales
A number of movies featuring the mummy have drawn enormous audiences who watch the action in Horrorscope. The mummy's mummy was also an entertainer - a famous gauza stripper.
Off the silver screen the mummy isn't very popular with the other monsters. They think he's egotistical because he's all wrapped up in himself. Being interested in band ages, he loves music, his favorite style being wrap.
He would love to take a vacation at the Dead Sea, but he's afraid that he'll relax and unwind too much.
A sign in the Egyptian funeral home says, "Satisfaction guaranteed or your mummy back."
Spell time
After a lifetime of hunching over her bubbling cauldron muttering incantations and concocting various enchanted brews, the witch finally came to the realization that she was no longer in her prime. In addition to the pronounced dowager's hump she had developed, her arthritic feet were an almost constant source of pain and torment for her.
One evening as she began the tedious task of mincing up a fresh batch of bat tongues and newt eyes, an idea suddenly dawned upon her. If she had a smaller, more portable cutting board, she might just as easily process these ingredients in her lap as she was comfortably seated beside her boiling cauldron. "Ah, yes," She muttered to herself. "It would be nice to be able to sit for a spell."

Hammonton, NJ (PRWEB) January 16, 2014
Equinomics announces its full nationwide internet launch on January 15th, 2013. The company's soft launch phase began on July 1st with only 5 Certified Agents and quickly grew to 45 for its full launch opening debut. Until now, the company has grown through word-of-mouth only. Equinomics will now open its doors to a nationwide audience and give individuals the ability to save thousands of dollars!
The CEO and Founder of Equinomics, Gary Walker, states that their mission is "to help Americans get out of debt faster while becoming financially free for their efforts." Equinomics accomplishes this mission by enrolling customers into the biweekly payment program and then building a team of agents under them to spread the word and grow their business. The concept is to create a win-win situation by providing savings for the customers and passive income for the agents.
It is well documented that too much debt and the lack of financial freedom are at the heart of Americas' problems today; Equinomics can help eliminate these issues as it gains nationwide recognition with additional agents coming onboard. There are no upfront costs preventing a customer from enrolling in the biweekly program and no upfront costs to agents joining Equinomics. This allows getting into the company to be risk free with massive profit potential.
History of the company
In 2001 Gary Walker, the founder of Equinomics, began offering consumers an independent bi-weekly payment plan opportunity. What started as a "side project", coupled with his 10+ years in the mortgage industry, took on new life in 2012 when Gary realized the growth potential available through the development of a new Business Model implementing an innovative compensation plan.
Upon discovering a new found passion for network marketing, Gary's interest in pursuing Equinomics was reinvigorated. Realizing that offering a biweekly payment plan provided significant savings to his customers, he expanded the company's growth potential by associating it with a network marketing concept.
This newly developed business model was the start of Equinomics. With tremendous savings for the client and no products to buy and no cost to get started as an agent, the excitement was back. In 2013 Gary partnered with Jesse Schwager and Equinomics was formed.

Diagnostic medical sonographers use sound-wave-based imaging equipment on patients. These procedures, commonly known as ultrasound, sonogram or echocardiogram, assess and diagnose various medical conditions. Diagnostic medical sonographers work in imaging clinics, physicians' offices and hospitals and these positions will be increasing at a faster than average rate from 2010 to 2020, according to the United States Department of Labor. Formal education is required for diagnostic medical sonographers.
Southern States
Students at El Centro College in Texas earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in diagnostic medical sonography. Enrollment is limited based on available space at clinical agencies for students to the Lamar Institute of Technology's associate degree in diagnostic medical sonography.. For both programs, students already possessing an associate degree in another allied health discipline may earn an advanced technical certificate in sonography. Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee has a diagnostic medical sonography program with class sizes of five students as well as research opportunities. Students who complete these programs are eligible to take the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography medical board exams in abdomen and obstetrics and gynecology.
Eastern States
Eastern International College in New Jersey provides a diagnostic medical sonography associate degree. The 65-semester credit program includes 20 credits in general education and 45 credits in vocational education and program major coursework in two major components: the theory, didactic and laboratory component and the clinical externship. New York Methodist Hospital offers a two-year certificate program in diagnostic medical sonography. New York Methodist Hospital has agreements with St. Francis College in New York and Clarion University of Pennsylvania's Online College, stipulating that graduates will receive credits towards a bachelor's degree in radiologic or medical imaging sciences from these institutions. The Bachelor of Science in diagnostic medical sonography from Long Island University is five semesters long and students are eligible to sit for the national credentialing examinations in adult echocardiography, abdominal sonography and OB/GYN sonography along with the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation examination prior to completing their degree in order to be credentialed by the time of graduation.
Midwest States
In Michigan, Lansing Community College offers an associate degree in applied science for diagnostic medical sonography emphasizing ultrasound. Baker College, also in Michigan, provides an Associate of Applied Science degree in diagnostic medical sonography through its Auburn Hills and Owosso campuses. Both programs offer hands-on training from local hospitals. Washburn University's certificate in the school of applied studies program has offered all didactic coursework in an online format for over 11 years. Washburn University's location in Topeka, Kansas, allows students clinical experiences in a variety of settings such as private doctor's offices and clinics, large medical centers and smaller community hospitals.
Western States
At GateWay Community College in Arizona, students can earn either a certificate of completion or an Associate of Applied Science degree in diagnostic medical sonography. Students completing the program are eligible to sit for the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers exam for abdomen and obstetrics and gynecology. Spokane Community College has an associate of applied science in diagnostic medical sonography which takes seven quarters to complete. Graduates of Seattle University's Bachelor of Science degree in diagnostic ultrasound are prepared for professions in diagnostic medical sonography with its Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education accredited program.

Over a century's worth of shifting environmental policy means that today, maintaining Canada's forests is as important as cutting them down. Tree planting is an essential part of this maintenance, and each year thousands of young Canadians trek through rough conditions and remote areas to replant thousands of trees.
Environment can be broadly defined as the natural world or the conditions in which a species lives. This collection gathers all of The Canadian Encyclopedia's articles pertaining to the environment, from pollution to various fields of scientific study. Image: Normand Gaudreault/CC flickr.
The development of the ozone layer is thought to have been a significant factor permitting the evolution of life on Earth. Ozone is the main atmospheric gas that absorbs the biologically damaging part of the sun's ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation), known as UV-B (ultraviolet-biologically active).

People don't trust marketers. In fact, people are skeptical of just about everyone outside of their own social circle. According to a recent Forrester survey (via TechCrunch), it's likely your audience trusts social media messages less than sponsored search results or even direct email marketing. However, despite its perceived unreliability, social media may actually be the perfect sphere for gaining credibility due to the accountability and transparency inherent in the nature of its platforms. After all, you're only as good as your word.
Moving forward, the conversation between brands and clients should be a dialogue, not a monologue. It is a "give-and-take" form of communication, not a "push" of ideas on a passive audience, which is the way that traditional broadcasting has worked in the past. Customers (be they businesses or consumers) want to talk to companies and brands in a more personal way. Although this new model may scare some marketers, it should elate them. Forbes reminds us of the old adage, "All things being equal, we do business with people we like and trust." Social media affords all brands the opportunity to be the likable "next-door neighbor" rather than a hawkish door-to-door salesman. The more transparent you are, the more your audience will trust and respect you. The key to transparency, then, is genuine, human communication.
Defenders and Detractors
For starters, here are some objectives for using social media messaging to increase transparency:
- Honesty – When someone asks you a question, answer truthfully. If someone calls you out for making a mistake, own up to it. "No cover-ups!"
- Openness – Encourage conversations. Don't delete negative comments or remarks that differ from your stated opinion.
- Individuality – Display prominently your business' values and identity.
This last point is the most radical departure from more traditional methods of doing business. Before social media, how many hungry Southerners ever considered whether or not Chick-Fil-A supported marriage equality? In today's digital landscape, however, a small cohort of conscious consumers can make public inquiries about corporate responsibility, and then instigate a boycott if they find the answers unsatisfactory. OK, so maybe there is a reason for some marketers to be a bit scared, but these problems can be mitigated or altogether avoided with properly transparent communication. Indeed, many of Chick-Fil-A's supporters defended the brand vociferously, storming to nearby keyboards and restaurants.
If you have an open Twitter account or Facebook page, customers will certainly use it to heap praise upon you, as well as lob complaints. How you manage these comments will determine what people say about you to their friends and family via word-of-mouth (the most trustworthy source of product information). Keep in mind that these word-of-mouth interactions now happen instantly in the same channels where you're pushing your product.
The best practices are to behave on social media the same way you would on your personal pages:
- Retweet your supporters
- Ask questions of your followers
- Defend yourself to your attackers
- Share content relevant to your audience's lives
- Avoid too much self-promotion
Do this in a respectful, personable tone, and do so publicly. Soon your reputation will grow more favorable, bringing with it consumer trust and positive interactions.
Managing relationships, remaining compliant
If you're concerned with building relationships, customer service gains quite a bit from utilizing social media. A successful deployment would foster deeper consumer relationships, create brand ambassadors, and ultimately drive sales. Customer relationship management (CRM) is perhaps more important in some industries than others. Service providers, such as healthcare professionals, wealth managers, and lawyers, would be wise to adopt a transparent social media strategy. These industries, where the dissemination of information to clients and industry peers is paramount, are begging for the democratization of communication, which social media provides. Again, this could sound a little frightening to people in these industries, especially with regulations regarding what is and isn't an acceptable topic of discussion. Doctor-patient confidentiality must remain intact, for example, and insider trading is still illegal. Many would argue that giving legal advice in 140 public characters is similarly a bad idea. With common-sense practices and the right safeguards in place, however, even these compliance-laden fields can reap the benefits.
Remember that while social media is the future, customers expect business interactions to follow the traditional values of responsibility and humanness.
Seriously Social, Social2B's Google+ community, provides a discussion platform for members to share strategies and best practices to maximize social media's potential within services industries. Become a part of our community and share your thoughts with us and your peers on the following:
- To what extent should a brand publicize its politics?
- What weight do customers place on accountability?
- How else can a business present itself as more human and less corporate?
