PledgeMe Limited
PledgeMe is New Zealand's crowdfunding site. We help Kiwis fund the things they care about.
We are a band of change makers, do gooders, and get shit done-ers. Instead of musical instruments, we have computers and The Internet. Our impact in the world is bigger than dollars and cents. But we do know how to rock the mic.
In 2012, PledgeMe started as a way to help musicians and artists fund their projects. Since then it has grown into the way Kiwis — from companies to community groups — go out to their crowds so they can fund the things they care about. PledgeMe is the only combined equity and project crowdfunding platform in New Zealand, and one of the few in the world.
The problem
Funding decisions are often made by people who aren't directly related to the campaign they are funding. This causes a dissonance because of the distance between the decision maker and the folk affected. There is also a perceived lack of funding for many sectors: everything from creative endeavours to community projects to starting up and growing companies.
PledgeMe is helping change that.
Per year, approximately 20% of companies that pitch to Angels in New Zealand get funded, and 21% of creative grant applications. This only covers companies or projects that go down the traditional funding route, many might not fit in those funding models.
The solution
PledgeMe offers a solution to this problem. We not only provide a way for individuals, groups, charities, and companies to fund things that might not ordinarily be able to get funded, but also help companies and organisations who understand the benefit of having a crowd funding them (over a handful of large funders). Our success rate is 70% for companies, and 50% success rate for projects.
PledgeMe is growing this niche. Since 2012, we have had over $6.5 million pledged. What started as a thesis and passion project has turned into a company that employs seven staff across New Zealand and has helped over 840 successful campaigns (by the time we post this online the data point will already be out of date).
We don't want to stop here.
With our investors help last year we doubled how much had been pledged through the platform (what previously took 2.5 years in just 6 months).
We want to do that again (and more).
Our success rate for projects is at the 50% mark, and equity campaigns at the 70% mark. The average raise for a project is $3,000 - 5,000 and for equity campaigns is around $260,000.
The Share Offer
We are looking to raise a minimum of $250,000, and up to $750,000. The shares on offer are investor class shares in PledgeMe Limited. These are voting shares. You can read more about the rights attached to investor class shares in our constitution.
We are valuing our company at $2.1million pre-money, which equates to $60 per share. This is based on the same valuation methodology as our last round (5 times projected revenue for the current year).
PledgeMe shareholding
This table shows our shareholding pre and post offer if fully subscribed.
Note: We are issuing shares to all of our directors and employees who have been working with PledgeMe over the last year to get the equity platform up and running. Any increase in shareholding of our directors noted in the table above is due to the issue of these shares.
About our Team
Our team has grown over the past 6 months, from 3 employees and 3 external board members to 7 employees (and the same 3 external board members).
We are looking to grow the team further over the next 6 months to include more skills sets and to cover more of New Zealand.
Anna Guenther, CEO/Chief Bubble Blower. Anna, our CEO and co-founder, sounds American but she's definitely a Kiwi. If pushed, she'll say she's technically from Dunedin, but will later admit she grew up in Boston. She completed her Masters with a focus on crowdfunding and has worked for everyone from NZTE to MIT (and all the acronyms in between). She's a keen advocate of getting more women into tech and governance, and has been known to wear her onesie to work on Wednesdays.
Jackson James Wood, Chief Media Wrangler. Jackson has a way with words and quite often likes to put them in the right order punctuated with all the squiggles and dots in the correct places. He also likes communicating in a multitude of ways from talking to tweeting.
Will Stewart, Equity Champion. Will Stewart heads up our Auckland presence and oversees PledgeMe Equity (though he's always keen to chat about anything crowdfunding.) Will is a Vancouver transplant with a background in project management on both sides of the Pacific. He understands the entrepreneurship hustle having started companies in Canada and New Zealand and recently complemented this with a Masters degree at Otago's Business School.
Lana Vaughan, Chief Xero Officer . Lana looks after our finances. She does everything from cashflow management, budgeting, forecasting and reporting to helping our campaign creators before they launch. Lana's background is in business and financial management, and when she's not hanging with us she's working with other kiwi startups.
Rory Harnden, Chief Design Awesome-iser . Rory is the man behind the PledgeMe pug. He's in charge of creating beautiful new designs, taking photos, making us badges, and creating visually pleasing material for our crowd.
Tash 2.0, Wrangler Extraordinaire. Our newest addition to the team (after our dear Jen departed to more feminist comedian pastures), Tash brings a wealth of experience in wrangling amazing people at Webstock, running her own knitting business, and giving UI feedback like a boss. She helps all of our project campaign creators through the process of project crowdfunding.
Jessie Fenton, Wunderkid. Jessie is PledgeMe's indefatigable intern. She does a lot of the social media and blogging for us and she's currently studying law and film. We hope she will make us some legal films at some point.
Rabid Technologies Limited. We have partnered with Rabid Technologies to provide our technology, and their rocking team includes Breccan McLeod Lundy, Josh Forde, Megan Bowra-Dean, Josh McArthur, and Pepper Curry (as well as many other awesome helpers along the way).
Nick Lewis, Chair of the Board . Nick is an experienced entrepreneur, with a history of work in the investment banking space (from JP Morgan through to co-founding Woodward Investments in New Zealand). He is the Chair of our board, and has supported us pretty much since the beginning.
Anake Goodall, Board Member. Anake has a strong background in both the public and private sector, and is currently on the Board of Meridian and the Akina Foundation. During his time as CEO of Ngai Tahu, he developed an intergenerational asset allocation programme around the $700million portfolio. He's also a lovely lovely man.
Breccan McLeod-Lundy, Board Member. Breccan provides technology expertise to our board, and is cofounder and director of our tech partner Rabid Technologies Limited. He is a solutions architect, excited about developing the next level of crowdfunding could be, and has a beautifully analytical brain.
Our shareholders. We have 59 awesome shareholders. They range from folk we've known forever to people we only met after our equity campaign closed. But, we count them as part of our team because they sanity check us, they support us, and they promote what we do not just because they love it but because they own a piece of it.
We currently have four board members - Nick Lewis, Anake Goodall, Anna Guenther and Breccan McLeod-Lundy. Nick Lewis is our Chairman, and Anake Goodall is our Independent Director. The board meets monthly, with regular communication via Loomio in between. Our Board has a Decision Making Policy which covers a suite of policies that govern Fair Dealing, Decision Making, Marketing and more; you can read most of them here. Our Board is currently not remunerated, but we will evaluate this position annually - with the option to issue shares or pay a fee to board members.
What we've done so far
Our designer, Rory, made us this timeline of what we've been up to the past three years:
Highlights from PledgeMe's last six months alone
1) The crowdfunding platform on the whole is starting to show signs of real growth:
- More than 50,000 pledges through the platform (projects and equity crowdfunding)
- Doubled the amount pledged through the platform. In the 2.5 years from mid-2012 to November 2015, we had $2.8 million pledged through the platform. In the 7 months since then, a further $3.8 million has been pledged through the platform
- Now mobile optimised so that the platform is easy for all Kiwis to access from anywhere
2) Achieved early-stage validation of the equity crowdfunding platform:
- Launched 14 equity campaigns, with 9 successful and 4 that hit their maximum goals.
- $2.5 million pledged to successful equity campaigns to date
- Yeastie Boys raised half a mil in half an hour
3) We've built more than a physical technology, we've created a cultural technology, a supportive community and a great team:
- Completed our own successful equity crowdfunding campaign through PledgeMe, raising $100,000 in 23 hours
- Ran "Pitch Kitchens" throughout the country for each equity crowdfunding campaign, giving the companies we work with collaborative feedback and support from creative, business and subject matter experts
- We've grown our day-to-day team from 3 to 7 people (1.5 full time to 3.2 full time)
- We've used our connections to build up a solid pipeline of companies that are interested in crowdfunding through our platform
- We've created educational guides which we have published, and an educational plan that we will implement over the next 6 months
We've built more than a physical technology, we've built a cultural technology, a supportive community and a great team.
What's next?
1. Keep on delivering project and equity campaigns, and keep on growing.
2. Product — other product extensions and user experience, that could include:
- More support around shareholder communication
- New subsites under the existing brand, focussing on specific niches or licensing our technology.
- Crowdlending (specifically to companies and organisations)
- Secondary Market for equity campaigns
- Direct debit for regular pledgers and streamline our payment flow
- Private crowdfunding
- Remove login requirements for project pledging
3. Markets — look at Australia, and other markets currently looking at changing securities laws. We've already had some great coverage in the Australian Financial Review.
Risks and Challenges
Loss of key staff
Over the 6 months, Anna has been offloading more and more of her role. We've got extensive documentation, and our team can jump in where needed in most instances. So, if Anna was hit by a bus tomorrow it wouldn't be as bad as it once was.
Ability to hit projections
Projections are really a dark art, and are rarely hit. Last financial year, we were 10 days off hitting our financial forecast (with two equity raises closing early April 2015). We want our projections to stretch us, while being just within reach of being achievable. The biggest barrier to hitting our projections will be our ability to secure the team required to manage our growth.
Cash flow
Cash flow is a constant worry for any start up. We are trying to mitigate that by raising a longer runway this round, and by being very focussed on getting more successful campaigns through to fund growth as well.
Crowded market place
Competition is good, because it keeps us on our toes. We need to be clear on our points of differentiation, and do the best we can by our customers.
Our brand
As Sheryl Sandberg says, lean in. We don't want to be like the other players. We want to dominate the niche of business where companies get pledgers on board that want to support them for so many more reasons than just purely financial. That does mean we're not the right fit for every company, but it does mean we get to play with the companies who have their own crowds of supporters.
You need to pledge to see this update.
Thank you + next steps
27/07/2015 at 6:29 PM
This is the final update from me, Kat. I'm passing the campaign back to the PledgeMe team who are well into verifying all of you with the details you provided when you registered (ah, AML!) and touching base with those of you that chose to pay via credit card. They also have said: thanks you to all the folk that were previously verified and have already sent your payment through! We've noted the need to change the wording to 2 working days :)
If you didn't see, Rory made you a cake to say how much you mean to the PledgeMe team:
Anna and the team will be in touch late next week with the updated share register and to get you into the shareholders portal.
In the meantime, if you do know anyone who should apply for their Chief Tech Wrangler role, here's the job description again: http://blog.pledgeme.co.nz/wanted-one-chief-tech-wrangler/
Take care,
It's the final countdown
24/07/2015 at 2:19 PM
Dear pledgers.
With not long to go, Team PledgeMe (Anna, Jackson, Will, Tash, Jessie, Rory, Lana, Barry, Nick, Breccan, and Anake) would like to pass on their heartfelt thanks for your love, support, and pledges from all 129 (and counting) of you. You're awesome and the team can't wait to meet all of you and work with you to grow crowdfunding!
While we've been running the campaign we've also been working on other things, like gearing up to hire a tech wrangler. We've got a good idea of who we want and what we want them to do — but the shape of the role will depend on the kind of people who apply. Here's the blog on what we're looking for, and how to apply. Please share with any amazing tech folk you know, and shout out if you have any questions.
The extra $70k so far is going to go a long way to help the team grow even further with more work on product development happening too. We've already got a paper ready to circulate to shareholders about crowdlending next week and we hope that it means we'll be able to help even more kiwis fund the things they care about soon. Check out our business plan to find out more about the work we're doing here.
People have been saying nice things about us too!
Brianne, a recent PledgeMe shareholder and successful equity crowdfunder, had this to say.
And Bill from Vapour told us why he invested. What lovely people! If you'd like to tell us why you invested flick Jackson an email.
We're aiming to hit $350,000 pledged before the campaign closes and have a few more people come join the fam. So if you've got time this afternoon the team would give you big hugs and high fives if you could please do one final push out to your networks for us.
Finally, if you're in Wellington feel free to drop by The Biz Dojo from 5 for a celebration. Jackson, Will, Rory, and Lana will be there with Anna skyping in from Dunedin. BYO drinks.
Thanks again!
💙 🎉 💚 🎉 ❤
Four days to go!
20/07/2015 at 11:21 AM
Thanks again to everyone who has pledged so far. Together you have pledged over $274,000 to help grow crowdfunding in New Zealand. With four days to go we'd like to get closer towards our cap and bring in even more awesome people into the PledgeMe family.
How you can help
There are lots of ways you can help us do that.
- Share your story with us, so we can tell the world. Why did you pledge to invest in us? Drop us a line on [email protected], and a photo, and we'll blog about you this week. Our crowd is the most important part of this campaign, and we want to talk about you.
- Know anyone who has been talking about investing, but who hasn't yet? Drop them a line and remind them they've only got four days left.
- Share the campaign on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and any other social media platforms you're on!
- Send up the Pledge Signal over a town near you!
We'd love to create a bit of noise about the campaign in its final week. So get out there talking about it, about us, and about why you invested and remember to share these stories with us!
What we're doing
PledgeMe HQ has been a hive of activity over the past two weeks. Anna has been to countless events, talks, and coffees with current and potential investors. Will has been talking the talk while he's walking the walk. Jackson has been banging out communications like there was no tomorrow.
Last Friday we had a team planning session and our monthly board meeting to finalise how we go forward and grow the team after this raise. Later that afternoon we held an investor session for people interested in slicing off a piece of the PledgeMe cake — we even had cake thanks to Intern and Wunderkid Jessie!
On top of all that we've already started work assessing a new crowdlending product (thanks to the indefatigable Barry) and we've been working with some large campaigns which are looking to kick off in the next couple of months.
Get in touch
Any questions, concerns, comments? Drop us a bell!
Thank you!
14/07/2015 at 2:44 PM
You may have noticed last night that we made it: we hit our minimum funding goal with your help. Apologies for the 'almost over the line' update happening when we were already over. It was like the opposite of a false start. Anyway, let's not dwell — we're funded!
Thank you all for pledging to our campaign and becoming our newest shareholders on the good ship PledgeMe. TOOT TOOT all aboard!
What's next?
We're aiming to raise towards our maximum cap of $750,000. The more investment we receive, the quicker we can go, and the more Kiwis we can help fund the things they care about.
We're going to start verifying all you new folk — there are 76 new shareholders. We just need to make sure you are who you say you are. This means we'll run your registration details through Cloudcheck, and follow up direct if we need anymore info.
Then, we'll start processing pledges. Those of you that pledged on your credit card, we will charge you after the official close date. Those that have offered to do a direct deposit you will get the details to start depositing once we've verified you.
If you have any questions about the process — do shout out!
Almost over the line!
13/07/2015 at 9:06 PM
Hey Pledgers,
Wow, it's been a rollercoaster 10 days.
We've been hard at work talking at alltheseevents, getting national media coverage, answering questions, and keeping on keeping on.
We're so thankful to all 79 of you pledgers that have come on board so far. We're currently sitting at $244,080 pledged - leaving us just $5,920 away from meeting our minimum goal. We can't wait to pop our party poppers to celebrate getting over the line.
If you'd like to come meet us, we're hosting a meet and greet in the office this Friday (and thank you to those folk that came and met with us in Auckland last week).
Thanks so much for believing in us,
Team PledgeMe
We salute you!
06/07/2015 at 12:12 PM
Hi all soon-to-be-shareholders and those of you who are already shareholders coming back for another bite of the PledgeMe pie,
Team PledgeMe is stoked with all the support you've shown so far. There are a lot of familiar names on the pledgers list and, encouragingly, there is a whole bunch of people we haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet!
To you fifty-four amazing peeps, we salute you.
We can't wait to have you as part of our wider family, helping us bake this PledgeMe cake into something bigger than the cupcake it is now.
After three days, we're sitting halfway to our minimum funding goal! It's so close we can taste it (success that is, the cake is always delicious). And, if you think your crowd should get a bite of the PledgeMe cake, feel free to show some social media love (or not!).
In the mean time, here are a few of our favourite quotes from you fine folk as to why you're investing in PledgeMe.
"Proud to be on my way to becoming a shareholder in one of the best companies I've ever come across... you guys are amazing."
— Stu from Yeastie Boys
"PledgeMe helped me take my startup to the next level through crowdfunding, I better return the favour :)"
— Indy Griffiths from Parent Interviews
"Awesome work so far! I think I will increase my stake in this fantastic business! Go Anna and team!"
— Raphael Nolden (existing shareholder)
"Wahoo! Stoked to be able to support PledgeMe. You're going great stuff!!! I look forward to seeing it grow."
— Emma McFadyen
And, here's some coverage we've had in the media to-date. This article by Idealog (though, we launched at 9am not 6am!) and NBR (note, it's paid, and there are some trolls - the NBR is currently free if you're viewing from a mobile device though).

Hi there, I have a simple question, if I invest in your campaign am I able to sell my shares in the future? I understand you have not yet set up a buying and selling forum but assume there is this facility, maybe a little more manual at this point in time? Cheers, DougPosted on 06-07-2015 by Douglas cade
Hi Doug, if a buyer for your shares can be found, yes you will be able to sell your shares and PledgeMe will be able to help you with this. However currently equity crowdfunding campaign shares are often not listed on any secondary markets, so they lack the liquidity that would bring. It's more of a longer term private investment. But if a buyer and seller can be matched privately, you could sell your shares with the sale organised off the site. Hope that helps!

Equity crowdfunding is not legal in Australia.
Does this mean your plan to expand is contingent on legislative change, or are you targeting high net worth individuals?Posted on 07-07-2015 by Logan
Hi Logan, equity crowdfunding as we operate in New Zealand is not legal in Australia - yet. They are currently proposing changes allowing for investment which is more closely aligned to what is happening here. Also, equity crowdfunding and early stage venture investing has been part of both budget and immigration reform conversations.
Through what we've achieved this year we have had some significant press and have been part of larger discussions about proposed legislation. We are interested in looking into this further by continuing the conversations we've already started and would like to more properly scope how we might best enter the market (if it makes sense for us to go there).
Answered on 08-07-2015 by Anna Guenther
Hi, I would love to invest in PledgeMe, missed the previous round. However, I have got a few questions. There are many crowdfunding platforms around including the big boys like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. And locally, we have Snowball effect, and harmoney (crowd-lending). What business advantages does PledgeMe has over these competitors? I was looking for it in the business plan but I cannot find it. cheersPosted on 07-07-2015 by Sheng Chiong Hong
Thanks for your question! There is a competitive landscape analysis in our plan, but our main point of difference is we're locally focussed (which we think is a good thing!), we're an online platform with offline support, and that we're trying to do things differently - not just trying to create a faster horse.
The market place is crowded, but we've got a great community around us and a we want to be a platform that helps kiwis fund the things they care about: be it projects or companies. That means we've got a larger pool of potential crowdfunders, and we want to let everyone try.
Shout out if you have any other questions.
Answered on 08-07-2015 by Anna Guenther
Hi guys, great initiative and I'd love to get involved however I do have a concern. It seems to me that Pledge me's core business is based around a custom software platform. Most organisations that are built around software use one of the following models: a) they have an in-house technical team (i.e. employed by them) who build/support/enhance the system or b) they engage a software vendor to build/support/enhance the system or c) a mixture of the two. Either option means that the organisation can hold onto the IP and there is contestability, i.e. it helps to ensure you are getting great value for money and gives you options if things aren't going so well (e.g. replace people or vendors).
I can see why having such a close relationship with your technology partner Rabid (i.e. them being on the board and them owning part of the business) has made sense to this point however I can see it being risky/problematic going forwards. All technology service vendors have many client to service and have to make sometimes difficult decisions around how they service their clients. I'm assuming a significant amount of the money you are raising is going to end up in Rabid's bank account. Given the unusual and close relationship you have with them would it be appropriate to give more visibility to shareholders. If I was a significant shareholder I have a multitude of questions I would want answered, for example:
- are you paying Rabid on a time and materials basis of fixed cost to build stuff?
- what rates?
- what happens if they mess up (e.g. take longer than expected or there are quality issues) or you feel they are overcharging or you find developers who are happy to work for less then they charge?
- what happens if you need technical expertise in areas that Rabid don't specialise in?
I simply can't see how board meetings can be viable to discuss any of the above when Rabid are on the board.
Sorry to be so negative but my 2c.
Hi Peter. Thanks for your question. Both Anna and Breccan have replied as below, I hope this addresses your concerns, but feel free to add any more questions in here, or email Anna direct ([email protected]) or Breccan ([email protected]) - Kat
From Anna:
Currently, we pay Rabid for large pieces of work in full (which we scope out together and they quote us for), and have a contract for a monthly retainer to cover any minor tweaks or queries ($500 per month). We own all of our IP.
Part of this round is to help us bring some of the day-to-day tech capability in house, while still working with Rabid (and other providers as required) to support the growth of PledgeMe.
Bringing some capability in house means we can regularly be delivering new features as well as optimising some of our current functionality with the input of our team and users.
We have a great relationship with Rabid and the team, and are excited to continue working with them as well as having in house support. To date, our board has been very robust in our discussions on everything from strategy to tech, and we have some technical expertise informally supporting our growth discussions as well.
From Breccan:
Following on from what Anna has said I just want to clarify Rabid's position on the startups we work with and invest in. Our goal is to create successful free standing business. We expect most (if not all) of our profit on these projects to come from the equity stakes we have in these companies rather than trying to reap rewards off a captive client. We're motivated to push them towards whatever looks like it will create the best business outcome in the long term.
We agree with you that that means building PledgeMe's internal capability as they grow, particular as the growth really starts to justify permanent developers. That point looks like it's the present. Where a year ago PledgeMe was alternating between bursts of major new features (equity crowd funding systems etc) and quiet periods (waiting for our FMA licence) changes are coming faster now and it looks like there'll be plenty to do on a day to day basis for the foreseeable future.

Hmm afraid the fact that you don't see a problem that your key supplier is on your board ( i.e the conflict of interest) doesn't give me confidence in your business acumen. I would urge you to be more transparent in this areaPosted on 10-07-2015 by Peter
I'd like to buy shares for myself and for my wife. Do I need to set up two accounts to do this or to make two transactions? What would be the recommended way of buying two small parcels?Posted on 10-07-2015 by Bill Bennett
Hi Bill, awesome! To keep the legal stuff simple, you'll need to use two accounts to buy two parcels.
Answered on 11-07-2015 by Anna Guenther

I note that you have fallen short of the forecasts made in the intial offer, while it is understandable in regard to the equity side of the business as that is new, but why does it appear that PledgeMe has performed so poorly in the donation side of the business. In the first funding round document you projected something like 400 successful projects, but report only 242 for the March 2015 year. This is a decline from the 2014 year (304), when the market overall appears to be growing.
In addition you have reported 30 successful projects in the first 2 months of this year, which annualised is 180, verses forecast of 280 in the latest document and 560 back in November 2014 (so based on your forecast 50% of the projection, based on the extrapoliation something like 70% down).
These appear to be major misses in the more established part of your business.Posted on 13-07-2015 by Ralph Shale
Hey Ralph, thanks for the question
We don't call the project side donation funding, it's more of a value exchange because it is rewards based rather than donation portal.
Here are a few thoughts on why the Project side of the company may not have grown as much as we had forecast:
One, we focussed most of our resources getting equity crowdfunding off the ground in the past year. With this investment, we are looking at ensure proper focus stays on both project and equity - with a strategy around activating our existing users as well as continuing to drive education for new users in the project space.
Two, while the number of campaigns wasn't hit last year, we have had more $20,000+ projects in the past year than we had in the first 2 years combined. For example, in April Moustache raised over $90,000 on their project (making them our second largest project to date, bringing the largest crowd to date) - so although that only counts as a single project success it has the revenue of 18x our average project size. We also have Count Me In closing tomorrow, looking set to raise over $75,000.
Lastly, locally and internationally more competition has come in the widening crowdfunding space. We're looking to mitigate that by collaborating more in sub-sectors when people propose setting up from scratch.

Hi Kat thanks for the response to my question. i have looked at the numbers in the 2014 offer you projected 560 successful rewards based projects at an average of $3.5k. Now the projections are for 280 projects at $5k. this means the funds raised has fallen from close to $2m to $1.4m which is a 30% decline in the matter of 9 months.
Given also that the equity crowd funding side has under delivered, and the projections while they are similar appears to be reliant on more resources etc can you explain how you have justified the significant growth in the pre-money valuation.
I note companies like IkeGPS, Orion Health etc who have listed and missed forecasts have seen signifcant declines in their share prices.Posted on 13-07-2015 by Ralph Shale
Hi Ralph,
We're working towards a target of around $8.2 million pledged through the platform this year. We've already achieved 25% of it in the first quarter of this financial year with our current resources. I believe we will hit the forecast, and this current round of investment will help us to continue growing the platform.
Our valuation methodology (based on current year financial projections) has not changed since last time. Taking into account we were 10 days off our forecast last financial year, and that we've almost surpassed last financial years projected revenue in this financial year, we think we're justified in an increased valuation.
Also, as indicated initially: campaigns are continuing to grow in size and scope. Our forecasts are likely to change again in a year's time in both size and number based on the ever changing landscape. Right now though, we're using our data and our understanding of this space to continue to put forward what we believe can be done.
At the end of the day, its not how many campaigns we get through, it's the total pledged towards those campaigns.
If you'd like to meet us and discuss this in more detail, please let us know.

Hi There,
Wanted to know how many currently registered users there are and what the current growth rate is?
If possible please advise.Posted on 14-07-2015 by Sachin Anand
Hi there,
We have 52,138 registered users on PledgeMe, and over 10% of these users signed up in the last 3 months. We have just over 30,000 of those are on our newsletter.
We feel the growth rate in users isn't our most important metric to track as some of our users have never pledged while others have been backing the causes they love for years - each giving thousands of dollars over dozens of campaigns.
We think the more important figure for us as a business is the growth in dollars pledged which is why we show our current year growth vs. last year.
Feel free to give Anna an email if you'd like to discuss further: [email protected]

The San Francisco Public Library Potrero Branch and Farley's Coffee, in partnership with a guest curator, will host exhibitions dedicated to one of Potrero Hill's few remaining examples of industrial architecture: the Cor-o-van moving company's structures at 16th, 17th and Mississippi Streets in San Francisco's Potrero Hill. The metal and brick structures currently occupied by the Cor-o-van company once housed the largest steel-producing factory on the West Coast, and they are associated with the construction of some of the most significant turn-of-the-century and early 20th century construction. Through text, historical photographs, and contemporary art, this exhibition will shed light on significant but under-examined aspects of Potrero Hill's industrial past while envisioning the possibilities of the its future.
Reception - February 23, 2013

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives do not realize that Statistics Canada does not even have enough money to buy newspapers.
The organization's budget has been frozen for three years. Cuts to its operating budget will total $54 million, which led the chief statistician to comment that this will be a year of sacrifices.
The Conservatives like to control the numbers—that was evident in the F-35 file—but they cannot control the results of an objective survey. They want to cut Statistics Canada's budget in order to have more control over the message.

LOS ANGELES, April 10 (UPI) -- Rumors that Jason Segel and Katie Holmes are dating have proven to be untrue.
Speculation that the pair are an item began after a source reportedly told Star Magazine that the two are dating and "having a great time together."
The actors met in 2011 on the set of Segel's sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Holmes appeared as a guest star to portray the character Naomi, aka "The Slutty Pumpkin," one of Ted's (Josh Radnor) love interests.
"The story is completely untrue," Holmes' representative Leslie Sloane tells Us Weekly. "[Holmes and Segel] have not spoken since she appeared on How I Met Your Mother."

By - FRONT PAGE MAGAZINE
In other news you have to wait for after an election to find out about… two Iranian jets fired on a US drone in international airspace.
Two Iranian jets fired twice, missing on both attempts — the drone headed away from the Iranian coast, landing safely soon after at an undisclosed location. The Iranian jets pursued the drone for a short period before giving up.The unarmed, unmanned drone was conducting "routine surveillance" over the Persian Gulf when it was "intercepted" by Iran.
Little said the U.S. government has protested to the Iranians. Asked about how the U.S. could respond, he said: "We have a wide range of options from diplomatic to military."
Bowing usually works for Obama. He could try bowing to the Iranian planes.
He would not say whether there were actually plans for a military response. Asked if this should be considered an act of war, Little said he didn't want to get into "legal characterizations" of the event.
So why didn't we hear about it before? Because it was classified due to concerns about national elections.
Right again. So which part of this report impacted national security exactly? Were the Iranians unaware of what they had done? No, it would have been bad timing before the election and it would have undermined Valerie Jarrett's dirty nuclear deal with Iran.The shooting in the Gulf, which occurred just before 5 a.m. (0900 GMT) on Nov. 1, was unprecedented, Pentagon press secretary George Little said. The incident was not disclosed sooner because the military does not discuss classified surveillance missions, but agreed to answer questions after news reports revealed the shooting.
Maybe Iran doesn't know how much their pilots suck, since they ended up purging the pre-revolutionary air force?
Little said the drone was about 16 miles (26 kilometers) off the Iranian coast when the Russian-made SU-25 Frogfoot warplane intercepted it and opened fire. He said it was the first time an unmanned U.S. aircraft was shot at in international airspace over the Gulf.According to the Pentagon, the Iranian war plane made at least two passes by the slower-moving drone, firing "multiple rounds."Little said that once the Predator drone came under fire, it began to move further out and the Iranian aircraft continued to pursue it "for some period of time before letting it return to base." The Iranian plane did not follow the drone all the way back to its base, Little said, declining to say where that base was.He said there was no other U.S. aircraft nearby that could respond to the attack, and added that the U.S. believes Iran was trying to shoot the drone down.
I suppose it's hard to tell under such confusing circumstances.

Instead of an electricity generating solar panel, a motorised sun-bouncing mirror known as a heliostat is another approach to solar-powered lighting. And for just $US400 the SunFlower will redirect up to 50,000 lumens of sunlight directly into your home.
Heliostats are already popular in industrial applications but typically come with industrial-sized price tags. So the SunFlower was designed to be both affordable and consumer-friendly. Meaning you don't need a degree in engineering to get it running.
You quite literally just mount it to a pole, position it so the sun is bounced where you need it, and walk away. It's completely solar-powered, and will automatically adjust the position and angle of the three-foot wide mirror array to keep the sun always shining where you specified.
Besides boosting the amount of sunlight hitting a particular room in your home, the SunFlower can also be pointed at a garden, into a swimming pool, or onto a solar panel to boost its output. And, if you're currently fussin' and a-feudin' with your neighbours, into their bedroom window at the crack of dawn. [Wikoda via Gizmag]

Let $\Phi_{l}(z;q)$ denote the Lerch Transcendent and $Li_{l}(z)$ denote the Polylogarithm function. For $l \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$, we have the following Laurent expansion \begin{align} \Phi_{-l}(z;0) + (-1)^{l} Li_{-l}(1/z) = \sum_{k \geq 0} k^{l} z^{k} + \sum_{k \leq -1} k^{l} z^{k}. \end{align} For $l \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$, the left side will always be a sum of two rational functions which cancel. For example, $l = 0$ and $l = 1$ gives \begin{align} \frac{1}{1-z} + \frac{1}{(1-1/z)z} = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{z}{1-z} - \frac{1}{(1-1/z)^{2} z} = 0. \end{align} Looking at it another way, I wonder if there is some simple reason why the right side is zero, which can be written (as the meaningless sum) $$ \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} k^{l} z^{k} = 0 \quad \text{for}\quad l \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}.$$ Is there some way to interpret this expression and show that its value is zero?
(Compare this to the meaningless expression $\tfrac{1}{12} + \sum_{n \geq 1} n = 0$.)

Judge Deciding if Mo. Teens to be Tried as Adults
GALENA, Mo. - A Stone County judge is expected to decide within a week whether two teenagers who fled a juvenile rehabilitation camp will be tried as adults in the deaths of a Michigan couple.
Seventeen-year-old Anthony Zarro, of Spring, Texas; and 16-year-old Christopher Allen, of Nashville, Tenn., each face 12 charges in juvenile court in the deaths of Paul and Margaret Brooks. The couple from Baldwin, Mich., was vacationing in Lampe when they were beaten and stabbed to death.
At a hearing Wednesday, attorneys for Allen argued that he did not participate in the homicides. Other witnesses testified that Zarro had been making strides to turn his life around.
The Springfield News-Leader reports Stone County Prosecutor Matt Selby has said he would file adult charges if the judge allows it.

Aww, I thought we were done with this, publishers? Charging for cheat codes was the craze sweeping the nation in 2007-2009, until even EA, who helped start the trend, realised it was a little beyond the pale. Guess Capcom never got that memo!
The Japanese publisher has released a piece of downloadable content for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record called the "GameBreaker pack".
It adds exclusive features like a god mode, big heads and infinite weapon longevity. Or, you know, stuff that used to be easily accessible in a cheat code.
If you know someone who even thinks about buying this, take their wallets, and don't give them back until they promise to wise up. And if you know someone at Capcom involved in this kind of business, give them a very disapproving look.

Savings and Loan Associations—Their First Year under the Revenue Act of 1962
by ROBERT R. WOODSON Senior Accountant, Atlanta Office
Presented before the Society of Savings and Loan Controllers,
Atlanta-Decatur Chapter, Atlanta—November 1963
SINCE enactment of the Revenue Act of 1962, income taxes have become
one of the most discussed topics in the savings and loan industry. Although subject to income taxes since 1962, very few associations
had ever paid taxes because of the formula that was allowed by the statutes for computing the addition to the Reserve for Bad Debts. The addition under the old formula was measured by the difference between 12 per cent of the savings accounts at the end of the year and the surplus, reserves, and undivided profits at the beginning
of the year. Therefore, with the tremendous growth experienced by the savings and loan industry during the past few years, very few Associations have had to pay income taxes. The Revenue Act of 1962 has brought about a new era for Savings and Loan Associations—an era in which the "tax effect" of transactions becomes an important factor in managerial decisions.
With the first year of operations under the Revenue Act of 1962 nearing an end, I should like to review briefly some things that will concern you between now and the time your 1963 Federal income tax return is filed.
A problem that practically all Associations will encounter before the books are closed for the year and financial statements are published
will be the computation of the estimated tax liability. The computation will entail certain adjustments common to most associations
that must be made in order to arrive at the taxable income figure. The two illustrations on pages 350 and 351 will show what some of these adjustments are and how they will ultimately be shown in the tax return.
The starting point in determining taxable income is, of course, to arrive at the income shown by the books. The first adjustment shown in Illustration 1 is to eliminate the deduction for insurance premiums on the lives of officers and employees where the Association is the beneficiary of the policy. This adjustment is required of all

You can use environment variable references in the config file to set values that need to be configurable during deployment. To do this, use:
VAR is the name of the environment variable.
Each variable reference is replaced at startup by the value of the environment variable. The replacement is case-sensitive and occurs before the YAML file is parsed. References to undefined variables are replaced by empty strings unless you specify a default value or custom error text.
To specify a default value, use:
default_value is the value to use if the environment variable is
To specify custom error text, use:
error_text is custom text that will be prepended to the error
message if the environment variable cannot be expanded.
If you need to use a literal
${ in your configuration file then you can write
$${ to escape the expansion.
After changing the value of an environment variable, you need to restart Filebeat to pick up the new value.
You can also specify environment variables when you override a config
setting from the command line by using the
-E option. For example:
-E name=${NAME}
Here are some examples of configurations that use environment variables and what each configuration looks like after replacement:
|Config source
|Environment setting
|Config after replacement
no setting
no setting
no setting
None. Returns an error message that's prepended with the custom text.
Specify complex objects in environment variables
You can specify complex objects, such as lists or dictionaries, in environment variables by using a JSON-like syntax.
As with JSON, dictionaries and lists are constructed using
{} and
[]. But
unlike JSON, the syntax allows for trailing commas and slightly different string
quotation rules. Strings can be unquoted, single-quoted, or double-quoted, as a
convenience for simple settings and to make it easier for you to mix quotation
usage in the shell. Arrays at the top-level do not require brackets (
For example, the following environment variable is set to a list:
You can reference this variable in the config file:
output.elasticsearch: hosts: '${ES_HOSTS}'
When Filebeat loads the config file, it resolves the environment variable and
replaces it with the specified list before reading the
hosts setting.
Do not use double-quotes (
") to wrap regular expressions, or the backslash (
\) will be interpreted as an escape character.

And as of August 11, oops! Missed the deadline. Oh well, reading up on the vote and the candidates was quite interesting (and time-consuming). Maybe next time I'll manage to actually vote!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Coah from Makes Great Potatoes I bought my ricer a few months ago and use it regularly. The potatoes come out fluffy and mostly smooth. It is easy to use. The reason I gave it a four star is because there are still some lumps in the potatoes, and I like my smooth as silk not a single lump. But it is a wonderful ricer and pretty easy to clean. I agree with TeacherTony's reveiw, I do not take it apart, just wash it by hand or in dishwasher. No disassembly needed.Date published: 2018-04-02Rated 1 out of 5 by Mamaa from Great potatoes My daughter bought this for me about six months ago, when they were stationed in California. It makes wonderful mashed potatoes some of the best ever. The reason I gave it one star Is the quality of the product. I think OXO needs to go back and upgrade the quality of this product. Until then I'm going to contact them and see if I can replace the ring or just buy a new potato ricer and it won't be this one.Date published: 2017-03-02Rated 4 out of 5 by Docjj1 from Good product that would be excellent if all-metal I read all the reviews from 2012 to present about this gadget. The challenge with removing the adjustable ring is that there are two notches and keys around the ring. They ARE NOT both the same size. One has to line up the smaller key and notch to put together and take apart. Once properly aligned, there is still a bit of resistance to separate. I think this is due to the plastic material used instead of metal. Over time, the plastic seems to have slightly warped from dishwasher cleaning (even top load area). Once assembled, it works very well. The other issue is that the handles are formed stainless instead of cast, and the gauge of the steel is somewhat light. This allows the handles to twist a little when mashing, but mine has never bent or deformed. If heavier gauge SS was used for the handles and use metal for the ring, this would be a superior product.Date published: 2017-02-05Rated 5 out of 5 by IC66 from love it for mashed potatoe's so good we sent one to our son, and they love it too and will be reviewing also soon. Tha stainless steel construction means high quality construction and will mean a long life. You do have to disassemble to clean but that is relatively easy. highly recommend!!Date published: 2017-01-29Rated 1 out of 5 by TopHat from Flimsy - and cracked after a few uses It worked decently a few times, but cracked after only several uses. Very disappointing.Date published: 2016-10-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Kaseyshopping from Fluffy Potatoes! I bought this ricer long ago, but finally had the chance to use it for Thanksgiving on Thursday. WOW! I was blown away at how fluffy the potatoes were and how simple the ricer was to use! The feed tube is very large so it only took 6-7 fills of the ricer for a 5+ pound bag of potatoes. I was afraid I would have to apply a lot of pressure to press the potatoes through the unit. Man was I wrong! A slight squeeze spit out fluffy, light potatoes! The whole ricing process took 3-5 minutes from start to finish with the ricer on the finest setting. The clean-up was a cinch. I twisted off the size adjuster and threw it all in the dishwasher. The only downfall for me is that the ricer is too big to fit in my kitchen drawers. I will be keeping it in my carousel for easy reaching. Can't wait to try it on cauliflower!Date published: 2015-11-30Rated 5 out of 5 by TeacherTony from Smooth and amazingly easy mashed potatoes I have used a hand masher for years when making potatoes, and everyone likes them but they have a lump here and there, so I decided to try this tool. On the fine setting, I spooned in potato chunks to fill the chamber, squeezed, and the potatoes dropped into the bowl below with almost no effort. It's the end of hand-mashing for me. What I do NOT understand are these reviews complaining about taking it apart to clean it. You DON'T take it apart, you put it on the top shelf of your dishwasher and wash it. Would you disassemble your garlic press to clean it? Those reviews are strange. Disregard them. It's a wonderful tool.Date published: 2015-10-12Rated 5 out of 5 by BHull from Great product for making Gnocchi I bought this so I could make gnocchi. I have never made gnocchi nor have I used a potato ricer before. Ricing the cooked potatoes was effortless. Taking the outer blade off was a breeze as was cleaning it. My gnocchi turned out to be very delicious and I will definitely be using it more often to make more gnocchi!Date published: 2015-03-19

Near Perfect Vegan Diets
For your reference, here is a near perfect (from a soundness perspective) vegan diet for a 19-50 year old activity male or female weighing 135 pounds and standing 5'8". I developed it in about two hours time using quinn.
2.4+ ug Vitamin B12
23-1722 mg Calcium
10-100 ug Vitamin D
1 teaspoon Flaxseed Oil
1/2 cup Oats (Oatmeal)
1/2 cup Almonds
1/2 ounce Sunflower Seeds
1 GNC Soy Protein 95 Shake (made with water)
2 Carrots
4 ounce Russet Potato
1/4 cup Chickpeas
1 cup Tomatoes
5 teaspoons Vegetable Oil
Spices to taste
1 1/2 GNC Soy Protein 95 Shakes (made with water)
1 cup Elbow Macaroni Pasta
1 1/8 cups Tomatoes
Spices to taste
1 GNC Soy Protein 95 Shake (made with water)
May contain too little Vitamin K (RDA not established)
One thing I didn't really like about the film was its assertion of cooking oils being unhealthy, surely the documentary did note highly processed, commercial oils at first, but then it continued with the rhetoric of how harmful they are to a person's body...
I see a bunched of processed foods and GMO products, but few fruits and vegetables. I guess "perfect" is pretty subjective nowadays.

To quickly rename a single photo in the Library module, select it and type the new name in the File Name field of the Metadata panel.
(Optional) If you're not moving photos to an existing folder, create a new folder. See Create and manage folders.
Video tutorial: Moving folders around after the fact
Photos imported into the catalog are automatically rotated if the Exchangeable Image Format (EXIF) data includes orientation metadata. Otherwise, you can manually rotate photos.
In Grid view, select one or more photos, move the pointer over a thumbnail, and click one of the rotate icons in the lower corner of any cell. Or, choose choose Photo > Rotate Left or Photo > Rotate Right. All selected photos are rotated.
In Loupe or Survey view, click a rotate icon in the toolbar to rotate the active photo.
note: If the toolbar doesn't show the Rotate icons, choose Rotate from the toolbar pop-up menu.
In Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, choose Photo > Rotate Left or Rotate Right to rotate the active photo.
Choose View > Enable Mirror Image Mode to flip all photos in the catalog horizontally along the vertical axis.
When viewing a collection, pressing the Backspace key (Windows) or Delete key (Mac OS) removes the selected photo(s) from the collection, not from the catalog, and no Confirm dialog box appears. To remove a photo from a collection as well as from the catalog, select the photo and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+Delete (Mac OS). See Remove photos from a collection.
Removes photos from the catalog but doesn't send them to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).
Delete From Disk
Removes photos from the catalog and sends them to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).
If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, only the active photo is deleted.
Selecting photos and pressing the Delete key (Windows) or Forward Delete key (Mac OS, full-size keyboards only) also removes photos from the catalog but doesn't send them to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).
In the Grid view, Lightroom Classic displays alerts in image cells when the photos in your catalog have been changed by another application. For example, if a photo has a one-star rating in Lightroom Classic, and the photo has been updated to a two-star rating in another application, you need to decide which rating to respect. Both cannot co-exist together. Lightroom Classic lets you resolve conflicting photo metadata by either overwriting its data in the catalog with metadata from the photo or its sidecar XMP file, or overwriting the metadata in the photo file or sidecar XMP file with its stored data in the catalog.
For more information, see Synchronize Lightroom Classic metadata with Camera Raw and Adobe Bridge.
Lightroom Classic lets you convert camera raw files to DNG for archiving and taking advantage of DNG features. When photos are converted to DNG, the DNG files replace the originals in the catalog. You have the option of deleting or preserving the originals on disk after the conversion.
Select one or more photos in the Grid view, or select a single photo in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view. Then, choose Library > Convert Photo(s) To DNG.
If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, only the active photo is converted to DNG.
Only Convert RAW Files
Ignores photos that are not camera raw files. Deselecting this option converts all selected photos, including JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSDs.
Delete Originals After Successful Conversion
Deletes the original photo file after the conversion process ends. Deselecting this option preserves the original file on disk.
Specifies the versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic that can read the file. Use the tool tips to help you choose.
JPEG Preview
Determines whether the exported JPEG preview is full sized, medium sized, or not created.
Embed Fast Load Data
Allows images to load faster in the Develop module but increases file size slightly.
For more on DNG, see Supported file formats.
You can have multiple versions of photos by applying different adjustment settings to virtual copies of the original (master) photos. Virtual copies don't exist as actual photos or duplicates of photos. Virtual copies are metadata in the catalog that stores the different sets of adjustments.
You create a virtual copy of a photo and then apply adjustment settings to it. If you want another version of the master photo, you create another virtual copy and apply the new settings to it. You can create as many virtual copies of a master photo as you wish. You can even make one of the virtual copies a master, making the previous master a virtual copy.
If you create a virtual copy while in a collection, the copy is stacked with the photo in its folder, not in the collection; this stacking is not visible when viewing the collection.
In the Grid view or the Filmstrip, the master photo displays the number of images in the upper-left corner of the thumbnail. The virtual copies display page-turn icons on the left side of their thumbnails.
Virtual copies become actual photos when they are exported as a copy of the master photo or edited as a copy in an external editor.
When you create a virtual copy of a photo, "Copy 1" (or "Copy 2," "Copy 3," and so on) is added automatically to the Copy Name field in the Metadata panel.
- In the Grid view in the Library or in the Filmstrip in any module, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a photo and choose Create Virtual Copy from the context menu.
- In the Grid view in the Library or in the Filmstrip in any module, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) to select multiple photos and choose Create Virtual Copies from the context menu.
Tip: If the copy does not appear in the Grid view, the photos may be part of a collapsed stack. Try choosing Photo > Stacking > Expand All Stacks. If that doesn't work, make sure the Library > Enable Filters option is unchecked. Try using a different display method, such as choosing All Photographs in the Catalog panel.
- In the Library module, select a virtual copy of a photo in the Grid view or the Filmstrip and choose Photo > Set Copy As Master.
- To delete or remove a virtual copy, expand the virtual copy stack in its folder in the Library module (press S). Then right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the virtual copy in the Grid view or the Filmstrip and choose Delete Photo.
Note: A stack created using the Create Virtual Copy option is not visible unless you've selected the folder containing the master or you're in All Photographs. You cannot view, expand, collapse, or edit such a stack when viewing a collection.

TROY -- A total of four teenagers have now been accused in the slaying of 21-year-old college student Takim Smith Monday evening. Police in Troy have arrested another pair of suspects in connection with Monday's deadly stabbing in Lansingburgh, charging two more teenagers with murder, according to official records. Police arrested Eric Aaron Mallard, 19, of 11 Thompson St., and Ravenal Gregory Dunbar, 17, of 3064 Sixth Ave. around 7 p.m. Tuesday. Both have been charged with second-degree murder. "These two are charged in addition to the first two already in custody," said Troy Police Captain John Cooney, referring to Keith Furgeson, 17, and Ahziarh Carter, 16, who were arrested earlier Tuesday. "We still believe robbery to be the motive in the case and the investigation is still ongoing and active." Records show Dunbar was arrested at Building 19 of Corliss Park, the scene of Monday's fatal stabbing. Both Mallard and Dunbar were arraigned in Troy City Court Wednesday morning and are being held without bail in Rensselaer County Jail. Deputy Police Chief Richard McAvoy said police responding to the scene at Building 19 of the Corliss Park Apartments discovered a "gruesome scene." EMTs worked to save Smith, who had suffered "several" stab wounds to his torso, and rushed him to St. Mary's Hospital where he later died. The latest arrests came after police reviewed surveillance footage from cameras installed by the Troy Housing Authority, which McAvoy said contained evidence police used to arrest Furgeson and Carter on Tuesday. Smith's relatives told reporters he'd been enrolled as a student at Bryant and Stratton College in Albany, and had recently received a financial settlement that police believe was the motive for the robbery turned murder. Police also believe Smith was visiting an infant at one of the apartments at Corliss Park. McAvoy said the infant was present at the scene, but was not hurt in the attack. Sources with knowledge of the investigation say police are looking into whether Smith may have been lured to the location in order to be robbed, though officials have not commented except to say the investigation is ongoing. All four suspects are currently being held without bail. Charles Sweeney may also be reached at 270-1252.

GREENWICH, Conn. -- Greenwich Hospital Dr. Anate Brauer joined Tony Savino on WCGH-AM radio for his segment "Spotlight on Medicine" to discuss the latest treatments for infertility on a recent episode.
Brauer is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and she specializes in disorders affecting couples attempting to conceive, including endrocrenological, ovaluatory and anatomical issues.
infertility varies with age, according to Brauer. In couples younger than 35, it is defined as people who try to conceive without success within 12 months. For couples older than 35, infertility is described as couples who try to conceive for six months or more with no success.
There are a variety of treatment options that Brauer discussed throughout the program.
"IVF treatments and the efficiency and technology, freezing of embryos and eggs have changed dramatically," said Brauer. "Slow freezing was much lower than it is currently with vitrification."

The Pick: "Pina" and "A Separation"
Very few movies capture as convincingly as "A Separation" does the ways in which seemingly honorable decisions can lead to interpersonal conflict — even disaster.
This achingly wrought achievement is just one of the reasons writer-director Asghar Farhadi's domestic drama set in Tehran is a front-runner for the best foreign-language Oscar. It's also been nominated for best original screenplay.

Although this is not an official confirmation, it's jut about as close as you can get. The Wall Street Journal just confirmed earlier rumors that Google plans to launch a series of physical Google Play Stores throughout the United States. They further confirmed the company plans to use the stores to showcase their Nexus lineup and Chromebook products. They also shared Google plans to show off Google TV and Google Glass in the stores. This is something earlier rumors hadn't picked up on yet.

BCBSND to hold health reform info sessions in 8 N.D. cities
Health care reform is changing health care and health insurance. Change can be scary and confusing. We know that North Dakotans have many questions and concerns.
We're here to help explain the changes and what they mean. We will hold informational sessions for individuals and families in eight cities across the state in October 2013. All the meetings are free and open to Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota members and all North Dakotans. Two sessions will be held in each city each day (one each in the morning and in the afternoon) for a total of 16 total sessions.
The meetings are designed for those who buy insurance directly from insurance companies, do not have health insurance or are not offered insurance from their employer. The meetings will help answer commonly asked questions and will help people find the best insurance coverage options available.
Limited seating is expected, so those who are interested are encouraged to pre-register for the meeting they plan to attend. Find out more about health reform and register online at www.ItStartsWithBlueND.com or by calling 1-800-280-2583. Here is a list of the meetings (morning sessions from 8:30 a.m.-10 a.m. and afternoon sessions from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in each city):
October 8 — Grand Forks, Canad Inns Destination Center
