gadhafi. he makes a good case not appeasing al qaeda who is our biggest threat now. romney is saying rush that is our number one foe which is not true. it's the type of thing that really shouldn't pass any sort of laugh test in society. he shouldn't be allowed in the rom with positions like that. but because it feeds this notion that it's an amateur, not really american, it finds a foot hole in those people out there who are already skeptical of the president and it's red meat for those folks. it's kind of sad that romney has to sink that low and can't have an honest debate over foreign policy and national security differences. and they legitimately exist. >> joan, it seems to me that he doesn't know anything -- i'm no hawk, but i have been reading a lot about reagan lately. he spent a lot of time trying to get gadhafi. they talked about the war on terrorism, that his his phrase, and in terms of the war on terrorism, the sheet he just ran through, the 30 some people, he has done good on fighting the war on terrorism. even on their own score sheet, she should be a hero. barack

Somaliland opposition party UCID has taken the government head on over arbitrary detention of Journalists.
Addressing the press at the party headquarters, the information secretary of UCID party Yusuf Keyse condemned the arbitrary detention of journalists in Somaliland and warned the government against slipping into an authoritarian rule.
Mr. Keyse said the detention of journalists has increased lately and lamented the recent simultaneous closure of two media outlets.
He said the increase in the detention of journalists was an evidence of the government's failure, adding that the suppression of media is not in line with the constitution and values of Somaliland and are detrimental to its image abroad.
He urged the government to respect the rule of law and to immediately release the detained journalists and to stop the harassment and suppression of media. The remarks of the opposition official come amid a government crackdown on the independent press which saw the detention of three journalists within a week and the suspension of two media outlets.

An interesting link!
So far senior week has been somewhat disappointing. The ticketbook was $40 but through Karen\'s help, I only paid $29. :D Yet the events themselves lacked a certain organization, a special eliteness. Like the movies, the organizers paid attention to the appearance but not the duration of the event.
During the senior pilgramage which was supposed to be a tour of the campus, the organizers couldn\'t speak loud enough. They started late and gave a lackluster lunch. Yet one major point of interest was when we visited the Wheeler oak. More than half a century ago, there was an oak tree in front of Wheeler hall. This was where students gathered to socialize. After its removal due to age, they put a plaque there. Until yesterday, I never realized the plaque on the ground had existed. I have walked past Wheeler Hall thousands of times in the past four years at Berkeley and never saw anything on the ground. this makes me think…what else have I missed about the campus?
The boat dance yesterday was…lackluster. Too many people crammed on one boat. The food was disappointing and unfilling. When I finally got a chance to go for seconds, they had ran out of utensils. So I was eating with my fingers until someone gave me a fork :D The boat went around the bay, passing all around the SF landmarks–Alcatraz, Angel Island, Sausalito, Tiburon, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, SBC park (when did it change from pac bell park???), and of course fisherman wharf. Yet, my belief was held true. Any event you attend is made better if you\'re with the right people.
I would like to mention that E is taking a road trip to CAL today, but no visit me?! :(

Bonpo Shang with Phurba • Master Class Residential Retreat • Perkasie, PA
Overview: Portions of this event will be silent, and out of doors. Traditional Bonpo practices will be observed, as well as shamanic elements. Esoteric subjects will be examined including an introduction to Milam trul khor, Nying Po Nam Soom, and protection practices. Traditional guidelines will be followed, and explored.
Innerview: A Deep Dive with lots of practice time, expect to be stretched to the limit.
The Bonpo Shang is one of the world's oldest shamanic Sound Tools, and quite possibly the oldest metal sound tool, predating the gong. It's history dates back to the ancient kingdom of ZhangZhung, and is mentioned in writings attributed to the founder of Bon, Tonpa Shenrab. The instrument existed at the time of Lord Shenrab ( 18,000BC according to some historians ), and may be considerably older according to sources in the Bon community. The instrument is found in other shamanic traditions in the Himalayas, Tibet, Bhutan, Yunnan, Tuva, Mongolia,and as far north as the Buriyat Republic.
This is the most comprehensive training program on this instrument in the world today. The program covers the uses and knowledge contained with the Bonpo culture, and then extends further into the shamanic uses by the lha-pa, dpa-mo, and lha-beb priests; as well as the uses by the Bomba, Paju and Naxi. We will explore early Tibetan history and the belief systems surrounding the Drala and the Werma, as well as Naga.
The Shang is an incredible sound tool in the hands of someone who has been trained and tutored in the ways of this instrument. Do not confuse this program with any other program in the world today.
The Phurba or Kila will be examined from multiple viewpoints including Nyingma Dorje Phurba practice (instructor was initiated into Dorje Phurba by a reincarnation of Dorje Lingpa in the Adzom Drukpa lineage), and Himalayan shamanic conventions, culled from field studies in Nepal (Jankhri & Rai).

Hoppy Easter
This is only the second easter card I have made this year - I wasn't going to bother sending any but decided against that today.
So, for my card I have used a LOTV image coloured with promarkers and mounted onto the same dp as the base card and then onto some green vellum. The scalloped circle is cardstock from my stash and the dp is from a HOTP Cardmakers pack that actually belongs to Kimberley - but since she hasn't been doing any crafting lately, I wasn't going to let it go to waste! The yellow organza ribbon is from Crafts at Home. The pin is from Tabbycrafts. The flowers were punched from the dp and green vellum with the retro flower punches and I have added wee half pearls to the centres of them and also to each corner of the card. The sentiment was done on the pc.
I can enter this into the following challenges:
1. Friday Sketchers - Lovely Sketch
2. Stamping for the Weekend - Easter
3. Crafty Cardmakers - Spring into Spring
4. Passion for Promarkers - Springtime Creations include an animal
5. Charisma Cardz - Spring has Sprung
6. Paper Play - Easter
Thanks for taking the time to look. Please leave me a comment if you stopped by so I can return the visit

Ridgefield's Robinson to be honored at state King ceremony
Ridgefield's Robinson, 52, has served on the state's
Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Commission
since 2000. It ensures that towns and cities recognize the national holiday Jan. 19.
In the early 1990s, Robinson served on the governor's local and regional initiative to bring diversity to Connecticut schools in response to the landmark Sheff v. O'Neill case.
On Monday in Hartford, at the 23rd annual National Liberty Bell Celebration in King's honor, Robinson will receive the Martin Luther King Jr. Leadership Award.
"We are truly pleased to honor such an individual who reflects the aspirations of Dr. King. By helping others, he has helped to keep 'The Dream' and 'the Dreamer' alive," said
The ceremony will be from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Connecticut State Capitol building. It is free to the public and will include presentations, choirs and speakers.
"I'm not sure what I've done to earn this, but I'm grateful and humbled nevertheless," Robinson said Wednesday.
During the years following Sheff v. O'Neill, Robinson was part of a Ridgefield Board of Education subcommittee that decided how the town's schools could recognize and implement diversity.
When the subcommittee completed its work, it re-formed as a citizens group called Ridgefielders Organized for Understanding and Diversity. ROUND started the town's Martin Luther King Day celebration in 1996, in 1999 First Selectman Rudy Marconi participated.
Since then, Marconi and Robinson have planned and spoken at the ceremony every year.
Robinson also served on the board of A Better Chance in Ridgefield from 1997 to 2004. It is the local branch of the national organization A Better Chance, which provides academic opportunities for gifted minority students.
A Better Chance makes it possible for these students to attend schools in affluent communities like Ridgefield, or enrolls them in private boarding schools around the country.
In 1994, Robinson's work founding ROUND and drafting a diversity report for the state Board of Education resulted in his nomination for the Connecticut Human Rights Award.
Robinson's professional career includes 30 years in marketing. He is a member of the Multicultural Marketing Leadership Council of the American Advertising Federations and is one of AAF's traveling lecturers.
In 1996, filmmaker Spike Lee hired Robinson to launch and manage his new advertising agency, Spike/DDB, which Robinson built from a start-up into a $35 million business in one year.
In 2001, New Ventures magazine named him Entrepreneur of the Year for launching the S/R Communications Alliance , a 100 percent-minority-owned network of 12 multicultural marketing companies with combined billings of $225 million.

You've recently been in a car accident and now are considering aspects other than injuries and repairs – will my accident be forgiven? How long will the accident stay on my driving record? How will my car insurance be affected?
A car accident could stay on your record for 3-5 years in the state of Florida – if your car insurance company does not offer accident forgiveness or you have already used this benefit within a specified period. Your car insurance rates could be affected if an accident is listed on your driving record.
It All Depends
- On How Severe The Accident Is
The accident's severity also plays an integral role in how long you will struggle with an accident on your driving and insurance record. A more severe accident stays on the record for a longer span of time, while a less severe incident may not cause your rates to upsurge even though you were at fault.
- If Your Car Insurance Company Offers Auto Accident Forgiveness
Fortunate are those whose insurance company offers accident forgiveness because you are not likely to pay higher premiums after an accident.
- If You Were Determined To Be At Fault
If you were determined to be at fault for the accident and/or were issued a citation for the accident, then your rates will likely increase and may stay increased for longer. Some car insurance companies won't change your rate if you were not at fault for the accident.
- If Alcohol Was A Factor
In Florida, car accidents that result of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other substance that can impair your vision or response time will remain on your driving record for much longer than a regular fender bender. These types of accidents will remain on your driving record for 75 years and further increases your perceived risk as a driver and can cause your car insurance rates to skyrocket.
How To Remove The Car Accident From Your Insurance Record?
There is no way to officially remove a car accident from your driving record before the 3-5 years is up. There is, however, a way to lighten the blow against your rates: take a safe driver or a defensive driving course. Though, this excludes criminal moving violations such as a DUI.
By taking a driver education course, your car insurance company may reduce the hike in your rate, although the infraction will still show if you change car insurance carriers within 3 to 5 years of the accident.

Hormone Replacement Therapy
It is a fact of life that, as we age, our body and its production of many of its keep ingredients begin to decline. As we age into our middle to later years, the drop-offs can often become much more drastic, and those effects become more and more apparent. Through advanced medical science, we do not have to just "deal with it" any longer. We have options! Hormone Replacement Therapy (commonly referred to as HRT) provides some great solutions to males and females alike.
Men | What is Andropause & Low-T?
Women are not the only people who suffer from changing of hormones. Usually when men reach the ages of 40 to 55, they often begin to experience a drop in their testosterone levels (commonly referred to as Low-T). Men, you are not alone; this physiological phenomenon is not a rare occurrence; in fact, tens of millions of men are affected by this condition. In some cases, men in their mid to late 30s can experience Andropause.
Symptoms of Andropause
- Reduced Energy Levels
- Increased Fatigue
- Reduced Strength and Muscle Mass
- Low Sex Drive
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Lack Of Mental Focus
- Depression
If you are a male who is suddenly experiencing some of the above symptoms, you may be experiencing a reduction in your testosterone levels. If you'd like to know for sure, make an appointment today for a free consultation.
Men's Testosterone Therapy Includes:
- Regular office visits
- Initial blood panels
- Periodic follow-up blood panels
- Recurring medication delivered to your home [optional]
Women | Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy is not just an option for men; while the symptoms, timing, and treatment differ, women can run into various hormonal issues just like men. Hormonal imbalance is a common occurrence in women, especially as they get into their late 30s and beyond. At Revitalize You MD, women are offered HRT options that are customized to their specific set of circumstances and symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Women:
- Persistent weight gains
- Foggy memory
- Unexpected and excessive sweating (including night sweats and hot flashes)
- Lack of sexual desire
- Muscle loss
- Consistent and growing fatigue
- Vaginal dryness
While experiencing these symptoms alone does not specifically signal that a woman is dealing with hormonal imbalance, it is best to get a medical professional's expert input.
If you are a woman who is experiencing some of the above symptoms, you may be experiencing some level of hormonal imbalance. If you'd like to know for sure, make an appointment today for a free consultation.

Teen Titans Go! is one of Cartoon
Network's recent
successes. The animated program is another fun entry in the DC Animated
Universe (DCAU) and expands on the network's love of DC lore. Its
animated charm comes from having a comedy sketch-sitcom style series
the same characters of the Teen Titans comic-book universe. Each
episode is a
comedy short with the characters Robin,
Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy.
The series follows
the characters after they have defeated the bad-guys and are trying to
hang out and call it a day. The story essentially just focuses on them
out, goofing off, and having fun. Occasionally, the characters still go
missions and have to save the world on the show but for the most part
concept is to focus on them in the Teen Titans Tower with a bunch of
antics happening between the characters. The comedy comes from that
aspect within
the series.
For fans of DC animated universe programs, this is
one of
the best comedy series incarnations I have seen to date. It manages to
exceptionally well within the comics framework. Teen Titans Go!
a winning formula for great comedy in this superhero universe and is an
series for fans of these characters. It's a blast of entertainment the
family can enjoy.
Teen Titans Go! Appetite For Disruption Season
2, Part 1

Mr. Butt, Man Person, Pirates,
Grandma, I See You, Brian, Nature, Salty

animation style. The image quality is very nice for a
release. The animation stands out effectively and tends to be clean and
for the most part. There doesn't appear to be an issue with compression
artifacts of any kind and the image looks pleasing.
The 2.0 Dolby Digital audio is
pretty basic. There isn't as much going
on with it because of the stereo limitation but for a stereo audio mix
design is quite enjoyable and still manages to be effective at
presenting the
various sound effects during action sequences and the quality dialogue
reproduction keeps the vocals easy to understand and distinguish.
Optional English SDH subtitles (for
the deaf and hard of hearing) are
provided. In addition to the English language dub, a Spanish language
option is provided.
No supplemental features are
included on this release at all.
Final Thoughts:
Teen Titans Go! might be one of
the silliest animated programs to ever air on Cartoon Network. The
series is a
goofy comedy-fest of animated hijinks in every episode. There's no real
plot to
this series at all. It's all about the series of jokes and the
characters. That is exactly where the
charm of the
program is though. This is one of the most enjoyable animated comedies
to be
released in the past several years. For DCAU buffs it's a must-see.
Fans hoping to own the series will
be pleased with the DVD PQ/AQ but
might be disappointed by the lack of supplements. It's also worth
noting that
Season 1 has finally received a Blu-ray edition released in April 2015.
hoping that a Season 2 Blu-ray release won't be too
far behind for high-def enthusiasts.

VPremier computer. Can not figure out how to access the boot key, to boot from a usb. I believe I need to enter the BIOS, but do not remember how to do that, as I have lost the original paperwork.
When it boots up initially and you get the usual black screen prior to the windows starting up etc... there is "usually" a brief text message (top left typically on the display) saying what to press to enter bios.
This link - 4th message down gives you some info too re' accessing bios:
"VPremier computer"
When I did a search for VPremier, google kept suggesting V2 Premier by Viscom Technologies. It appears they use ECS (Elitegroup) motherboards so my guess is to tap the DEL at bootup to get into the BIOS menu. It might even say on the initial splash screen - something like "Press DEL to enter setup"

The House of Representatives has said it will investigate a petition by a former worker of Total E and P Limited, Steve Aralu, that he was sacked after an industrial accident.
House Clerk Michael Egwu, in a letter to the petitioner, on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee on Public Petitions, invited him to a meeting tomorrow.
The investigative hearing will hold by 1pm at the Committee Room 429 (New Wing) of the National Assembly.
Aralu urged the House to investigate his alleged shoddy treatment by the oil company.
He said Total E and P refused to treat him for the injuries he sustained when he was working in the company's facility or settle his medical treatment.
The petitioner, a trained Petroleum Engineer, said he was employed in January 2000 by the oil company, the operators of the NNPC/TotalElf Joint Operators.
Aralu said he was working at the Warri and Obagi facilities between 2000 and December 10, 2008, when a chemical explosion at Obagi, Rivers State, injured him.
The petitioner said the company refused to provide him the required medical and post-trauma treatments, which resulted in his severe eye and physical deformities.
The engineer also alleged that in March 2003, he and some of his colleagues were attacked by some militants, who shot and killed five of the company's workers at its facility in Warri, Delta State.
Aralu said he sustained a bullet wound in his left hand, adding that the company refused to treat it.
The petitioner said the compamy flew his expatriate counterparts abroad for post-traumatic stress disorder and convalescence/treatment.
According to him, he still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, resulting from the militants' attack.
The petition reads: "On December 8, 2008, I was scheduled to carry out a biocide batch chemical treatment. This treatment required me to push into the oil and gas production system, in a space of four hours, (four drums) of biocide chemical to kill all the bacteria in the production system and the pipeline.
"This operation was done by a high pressure series 5,000psi pneumatic pump, which was the only pump at the time capable of delivering such volume at such space of time to meet the treatment standard. I later found out that the chemical injection pump had stopped working.
"I reported to my boss, a French national, Mr. Christian DuCamp, and also recommended for the pump to be replaced.
"On December 10, 2008, I went into the station to do my routine job but I realised that the pump had stopped working again and the chemical did not inject.
"Unknown to me, the chemical was trapped inside the pump and the pump pressurised. As I tried to reduce the speed of the pump, it exploded on my face, blew away my eye goggles, bathed me and blinded me on the spot.
"The pump was a pneumatic air-powered pump series 5,000psi capable of delivering 5,000 PSI per second.
"To understand the effect of a 5,000psi, a vehicle's tyre is pressurised at only 45psi when it bursts; one can only imagine the impact of a pressurised 5,000psi pump."
Aralu said the effects of various drugs and treatments he received in Nigeria and overseas resulted in renal and hepatic complications.
According to him, a growth behind his eye was discovered to have been caused by the mutation of some components of the chemical that adapted and now resides in his head.
"Presently, I experience terrible itching, acute headache, indescribable pain, loss of vision in the right eye and blurred vision on the left eye.
"Both eyes have ocular hypertension, which is being regulated by an eye drop, called Travatan, to avoid blindness. The American hospital handling my case has explained that I am required to undergo four major surgeries and one radiation surgery.
"The treatment processes they explained would require my nose to be removed for them to go through to access the growth behind my eye after which I'm required to be on several other medications and check up every quarter for the rest of my life," Aralu said.

Intro Sites Built With Thinkific
If You're promoting Or considering selling online classes, you do not need to do much searching to think of a Thinkific review. There are plenty of Thinkific reviews on the market. The main difference that this one offers is It Is written by someone with: Sites Built With Thinkific
- More than 20 years experience in the e-learning Business, with a Particular focus on businesses that sell education (as opposed to, for example, corporate training departments, That Don't have to convince their students to purchase )
- Extensive experience designing, developing, and implementing online class platforms (I was the founder and CEO of an e-learning platform and path development firm.)
- Over a decade of experience monitoring and exploring online class platforms and helping organizations and individuals pick the right platform for selling classes
I've been closely Tracking Thinkific and other suppliers that have emerged in the previous several years as a new type of course platforms. These are programs that are a lot more user friendly and less costly than traditional learning management methods, or LMSes. They are companies that are looking to enter the course business and a real blessing for solo edupreneurs. Over time, I think they also have real potential to interrupt the learning management system market.
Having said That, let us begin.
Click here to sign Around Thinkific.
Construction and Branding Your Online Course Web Site
Any classes you Market need to"live" somewhere, and that somewhere provides an appealing, user friendly for your students and potential students. Since the debut of its Website Builder capacities Thinkific is up to the project. Sites Built With Thinkific
Using Site Builder — which is simply a part of the admin panel to the platform — you now have the capacity to prepare an appealing home page for your course website and make as many custom pages as you desire (e.g., to give details about you and your other solutions ). Despite the fact that you do not have total control — you can not, as an instance, set up your own style sheets (CSS) — you can possess really excellent capabilities for changing branding elements like font and colors styles and you can upload pretty much any kind of pictures or media you'd want to utilize.
Site Builder Comes with three topics to choose from, and there are numerous variants for each one of these themes. (The company says more themes are a part of their upcoming development plan.) Additionally, there are a range of pre-fab"sections" you can add and change on any webpage to provide for things like social proof (e.g. customer quotations or"as seen on" logos), calls for action, count down timer, and pricing options — basically, all of the critical tools you need for conducting a successful path or membership site. There is also a blank slate"Text & media" section which may be utilised to make pretty much whatever you want.
As is the case With just about any content management system, it took me a while to figure out how to do some basic things like delete segments (the themes provide a home page pre-populated with sections) and add custom pages to the site menu. However support has been readily available for them. Thinkific includes a solid support site on which you can look for help, but I tend to only use a Google search together with the word"Thinkific" to find whatever I need (e.g.,"create custom site pages Thinkific"). I've yet to not find good support by doing this, whether on the Thinkific site or from another user.
Some added Features to note:
- Custom URL (under Settings > Website ) — By default, you're assigned a thinkific.com speech — e.g., learningrvolution.thinkific.com. Having a paid plan (beginning at $49 per month for Fundamental ) you can find a custom URL
- SSL (Under Settings > Website ) — With any plan you have the choice to turn on SSL (secure socket layer), a best practice for any Web site nowadays. (Google smiles on this.)
- White labeling (below Settings > Site)– By jumping up to a Guru Plan ($99 a month) using the Development Add-on ($.10 per busy student/per month) you can easily get rid of the"Powered by Thinkific" speech on your site and courses.
- Text Dimensions (under Settings > Learning Content and several other areas) — It is possible to change a great deal of the default language that is used in navigation and other regions. By way of instance, Thinkific uses"Chapters" because the tag for portions of a program. You may like to change this to"Lessons." Sites Built With Thinkific
Thus, you might be asking,"Could I use Thinkific for the primary Web website?"
For edupreneurs That are just starting off and do not already have a Web presence the answer is an emphatic"yes." Utilizing Thinkific is a good way to have a big item from your"to do" list (i.e.,"figure out how to find a decent Web site set up") and concentrate on creating and launching your courses. It is possible to be concerned about a more complicated Web site after.
If you already Have a Web site, however — particularly on a fuller-featured content management system such as WordPress — I would not recommend relying on Thinkific (or some other route platform) for your main Internet website. Website Builder is great for what it does — and can create a great course site to match your primary site — but finally it's relatively restricted. A few of the key present limitations include:
- All themes are pillar. So, for instance, you can't put e-mail signup forms, promotions for class, or other things down the left or right side of your site.
- As mentioned, you can not use your own CSS (cascading style sheets), largely a limit in the event that you truly want to reflect the branding of an existing Web website.
- There's no control on search engine optimization settings on Internet pages — e.g., you can not define the title tags or meta descriptions. You can, however, do so on track landing pages, which is arguably more significant for the typical edupreneur.
- Thinkific lacks the wealth of plug-ins and the extensive network of seasoned contractors that are available to encourage platforms like WordPress.
In spite of those Limitations, Site Builder is very likely to do the job well for most edupreneurs and is a little better than what most online course platforms supply.
Creating Online Courses with Thinkific
While you Definitely need to have an attractive, user-friendly website to house your classes, the classes themselves are the main attraction. As you may expect, this is a place where Thinkific really shines.
To Begin with, the Platform provides a variety of pre-configured templates which may be very useful to course builders looking for assistance with how to organize their content. The templates cover the range of standard scenarios you'd be prone to consider for supplying an educational product. All these are:
- Blank — Start new and construct your course to meet your specific curriculum requirements.
- Mini-course — Use a free or low-cost mini-course to generate leads for a full flagship course or service.
- Flagship Course — Build a complete online course employing a robust curriculum outline created with best practices in your mind.
- Pre-sell — Produce a pre-sell landing page and start constructing a waitlist to gauge interest in your program.
- Digital Download — Host downloadable files in an internet course to create earnings or collect email addresses.
- Membership Resource Library — Host downloadable tools to be included in a membership bundle with this template.
- Webinar Replay — Host your webinar replay video to allow registrants to assess your presentation and offer.
All these can Be modified broadly — you can change the content from the segments that are provided, delete sections, or add new segments to arrive at the strategy that is right for your content. All throughout the process, Thinkific supplies"smart coach course construction hints" to assist you. (I found these helpful, but they may be easily turned off, should you would like.) Sites Built With Thinkific
In Case You Have zero Experience working with Internet content, there will inevitably be a small learning curve, but my opinion is that Thinkific has done a good job making that curve as manageable as possible. Invest in making your it up, and you will reap the rewards.
And You're Already comfortable using other Internet content programs — such as, for another course platform, WordPress or instance — I believe that you will find operating in Thinkific to be a breeze.
Overall A class in Thinkific makes complete sense in my standpoint. After choosing"New Course," picking your course type, naming it (which you may change at any stage ), and saving it, you include"Chapters" (or change ones in the template) to create the structure of this program. As noted above, if you don't like the expression"Chapters," you can change it to anything you prefer.
You fill the Chapters with articles in a way. There are 11 options:
- Video lessons — Upload a video file. (This gets saved in a video library for re-use in different courses. Videos stored in this library are protected from access by anyone who is not a registered user of your site.)
- Quiz lessons — Create a quiz for your students. (More info on quizzes under )
- Multimedia lessons — This can be a means to link out to articles not hosted on Thinkific and also make it an integrated part of your course. A Few of the possibilities include:
- Webinar tools (supply the URL to a live Zoom session, by Way of Example )
- Surveys (e.g. Typeform)
- Appointment booking tools (e.g. Calendly)
- Presentations (e.g. Prezi)
- Google Docs
- Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate documents (Requires Pro or Enterprise license. More about that below)
- Text lessons — Combine text, images, videos, etc. into a single lesson. This is essentially the equivalent to"Text and Media" Website Builder alternative mentioned above.
- Research lessons — Collect by building a short poll in Thinkific.
- PDF classes.
- Disqus lessons — Add Disqus discussion boards to your course. (Note: there is also a discussion option built into Thinkific which you can turn off or on under Support Your Students > Discussions.)
- Audio lessons — Upload an audio file.
- Downloads resources to be available for downloading from within the course participant.
- Presentation lessons — Upload a presentation as a PDF file and record audio for each slide.
- Lessons — Contain a Brillium exam in your course. (A Brillium license is separate from Thinkific and begins at $49 per month. More about that below.)
The aforementioned options Will get the job completed for all but the edupreneurs. The primary areas they fall short is in
- Providing for branching scenarios — i.e., enabling learners to move down different paths based on their performances from the course or data you collect about them and
- Like learning games, inserting interactive components.
If those are Options you genuinely want, you would be better off with a full size course authoring tool like iSpring or even Articulate Storyline (see more about these types of programs here). Sites Built With Thinkific
Use of Articulate and Captivate at Thinkific
Many course Creators will be content with using the resources in Thinkific to create classes, but some might prefer the option of producing their classes with third-party e-learning class creation software like Articulate Storyline or even Adobe Captivate.
Basically, using a Third-party tool is an option to seriously consider if you (a) currently have a substantial number of courses built out in these applications (in which you probably do not want to have to re-create them utilizing Thinkific course production tools), or (b) you expect developing a substantial catalog of lessons with a relatively long"shelf life" — in which case you might not want to have your courses locked to a specific shipping stage.
These can be used by you Kinds of tools with Thinkific — Articulate Storyline and Captivate are supported — but there are some limitations you should be aware of if you go this path.
First, Thinkific (like the rest of the platforms in its own course ) has not implemented SCORM, which stands to the Shareable Content Object Reference Model. There is a lot to SCORM, but the principal thing for edupreneurs to understand is that it provides standards for how an internet course can communicate with a learning platform to deliver it data like how long a learner has invested in a program, or if particular areas of the class have been completed successfully. Thinkific monitors this kind of data using its own methods. (More about SCORM here.)
Second, you Can't Import an Captivate or Articulate route into Thinkific on your own. These courses comprise of over a single file (like, for example, a video file), and to get them into the platform, you have to zip the files up and send them to Thinkific customer service.
The Features and How They Benefit You
An excellent Online course construction platform offers the features you need from begin to finish to you. Including the selling, the marketing, the course building, and the management.
Systems such as Thinkific do not host courses on your own website. Your articles is really hosted with Thinkific (so you do not need to venture outside and find your own hosting,) but it still gives you total control over what your site looks like.
When compared to Systems such as Udemy, Thinkific certainly provides more freedom and management that is branding. Let's explore some of the standout features.
Click here to sign Up to Thinkific.
Outstanding Student Management and Communication Modules
During my Thinkific review, I noticed the smoothness of the student communication tools. It is a visual student management area, together with pictures of your pupils, names, contact information, and information for how far they are in your course.
You've got the Option create a dialogue with the community or to send customized emails. Sites Built With Thinkific
Incentives are Also a part of the learning environment since Thinkific offers completion certificates, report cards, and during courses, the emails for sending out just about anything you want needless to say.
Along with Replays of speech controllers, course content, and mobile optimisation working together with the Thinkific platform should feel right at home.
A Mostly Drag and Drop Editor for Quick Course Design
Part of the Reason Thinkific seems great in contrast to this competition is that of its course designer. In case you don't want to, you don't need to mess with any code.
In fact Your content is organized using a simple drag and drop editor, where you stack the course content and move it about .
Talking of Content, Thinkific supports uploads of all media types. By PDFs to sound files, and surveys to quizzes, the stage is fantastic for offering up a wide range of learning resources for the students.
As we mentioned All these documents are hosted on the Thinkific servers. For this reason, you should not have to worry much about a file running on your servers that are shared or being too large.
When you personalize Your course site it offers some editing tools to the novices on the market. As an example, you can correct items such as banners, color schemes, and logos without touching any code.
However Advanced developers have full control over the HTML and CSS. Consequently, if you want to make your site unique, the option is there for you.
Promotions on Autopilot
Some online course Platforms fail in the promotions arena. This is unfortunate since there's no way.
Thinkific does The app was built into by it the right way, with promotional and marketing instruments. Much of this is automated also. So, if you want to drip articles to your students Thinkific has this functionality. Sites Built With Thinkific
Furthermore, you Have the ability to target the right people and send automatic emails based on a program. Pricing can be done through Thinkific, in addition to the option to get paid instantly when someone signs up for your program.
In Terms of getting It is tried by people outside of your site out, Thinkific comes with an affiliate marketing program to benefit bloggers. Coupons can also be supplied through Thinkific, giving you a chance convince novices that your course is well worth investing in and to create advertisements with specials.
Everything from Vouchers to affiliates is monitored in the dashboard, and you could join your Adwords, Facebook, and other reports to see where students are coming from.
Managing, Engaging, and Supporting Students
Aside from One of the reasons for utilizing a online class platform is that it makes tracking and managing your customers and their data much more easy.
Communication with Learners
In addition to Assisting you to organize your students, Thinkific also enables a number of ways also for them to provide comments on the course and for you to communicate with your students. Sites Built With Thinkific
As previously noted, By way of example, you can enable discussion to your classes and manage your students gifts under Support Your Students > Discussions, where you can sort talks by course, respond to pupils, and — if needed –"Disapprove" contributions which you don't want to appear in the course. (Note: Letting discussions is currently a nothing option in Thinkific — i.e., possibly all courses have no or it classes have it. The workaround for this is to use the Disqus alternative on a course-by-course basis.)
You can also Allow your student to submit testimonials for your courses. Then you have the capability to approve these testimonials (they aren't published automatically) and utilize them as social evidence on your sales page to your course. Unlike discussions, this attribute can be enabled on a course-by-course basis.
There are A number of notifications that can be disabled or enabled in the Thinkific platform, some of which can be customized. You can send students a message when they register for your site, enroll in a particular course, or finish a course. It is also possible to send reminder messages. (Note: Reminders are site-wide, maybe not course-specific.)
Managing and Organizing Learners
To start with, When an individual signs up at your site, Thinkific captures all their key contact data (e.g., first name, last name, email ) and utilizing custom sign-up fields (under Preferences > Programs & accounts) you can easily add fields to capture whatever specific information you desire from the users. (Notice that, unlike programs like Udemy, you get complete access to the user information you accumulate.)
You can also Organize users. This simple feature may have a large impact on your business model by making it feasible for you to sell courses in bulk among the best ways for course sellers to drive revenue growth that is significant .
Using classes May also easily organize your learners by organization, or cohort, time, enrollment, job-type, or other variables, which makes it feasible to monitor the efficacy of your own offerings and to enhance your marketing moving ahead. (Note: Use of the Groups attribute requires a Guru program license with the Growth Add-on.) Discover More about the Thinkific Groups functionality Sites Built With Thinkific
Tracking and Reporting
A key reason to Have a technical online course platform — to simply posting articles behind a password on a Web site, instead, by way of example — is it is going to track quiz and survey data in addition to things like course progress and completion.
Thinkific's Advancement tracking (under Support Your Students > Progress) enables you to select a particular student and track a number of variables for every course in which the student is enrolled. For each class you will see:
- Percentage of Course of Viewed
- Percentage of Course Completed
- Student Name
- Student Email
- Course Completed at (date)
- Course Started at (date)
- Course Activated at (date)
- Last sign (date)
- Business
I enjoy that you If you're adding new lessons May also choose to reset a student's completion percentage at any time.
Overall, the Course coverage is fairly basic, but I suspect it'll serve the demands of the majority of course entrepreneurs.
Contrary to the Program Reporting, the quiz and survey reporting is exported to a .CSV document (rather than displayed on display ) and emailed to you. The .csv document contains the responses from all students who've taken a survey a quiz email address, along with their title, and when it was taken by them. For quizzes, in addition, it supplies the amount and percent .
Overall, reporting For both courses and quizzes/surveys is among the chief areas in which the Thinkific system might be more powerful. In fairness, this tends to be true for much of the all the platforms . Over time, it might be possible to access course conclusion and quiz/survey data . Even better, it might be great to be able to see a student transcript that shows hours associated with a program, any credit earned (not currently captured in any way in Thinkific), and a link to obtain the certificate associated with the program.

What Thinkific is currently Missing
Anyone who has Been working in the e-learning industry for the last few decades (as I have) will realize that Thinkific offers a remarkable selection of features at a very reasonable price. It wasn't long ago that a system with these capacities may have easily cost tens of thousands of dollars per year.
With that in mind, It's really hard to argue that Thinkific is"missing" much. There are gaps which will rule out it and these tend to be. The main ones that I see are:
No support for SCORM or xAPI/TinCan
As mentioned previously, While Thinkific can host and deliver classes created in common authoring tools like Articulate and Captivate, it does not really make use of the SCORM (or xAPI/TInCan) packaging capabilities of these programs. In case you've got a robust and valid reason for using one of the major e-learning criteria, then Thinkific might not be the way to go.
Like I said, these Are areas that aren't served well by additional programs that are in Thinkific's course. To get a platform that supports all three generally means a beginning price point than Thinkific — and it could go up a lot from there. So, be sure that these are gaps for you before ruling out Thinkific.
No continuing education credit capabilities
While you can Indicate the estimated variety of hours for finishing a class in Thinkific, you cannot define the amount of continuing education. While There Might Be work-arounds, for most course providers that focus on providing continuing education credit, this will be a Substantial barrier to utilizing Thinkific, Sites Built With Thinkific
No multi-tenancy alternative
Multi-tenancy Means that you manage and can make multiple instances of a platform under one umbrella. This can be handy if, for example, you are a training company that has corporate clients and those customers want their very own example of the platform for managing and serving their own customers. While the Group functionality in Thinkific gets you part of the way there, it is not the exact same thing as multi-tenancy.
Although I To find an online course platform that has many hidden charges, Thinkific advertises it also has no hidden charges or contracts. That's very good to know, however, nothing special.
However, Thinkific Does provide a plan for people who wish to test out the stage but not get bogged down from constraints. In theory, it helps you begin building a student base without having to pay a dime and start your shop. There's also a free trial if you'd rather give one of the more advanced plans a whirl.
The pricing is Divided into four simple strategies:
Starter — $0 for all core Thinkific capabilities. This plan has a high 10% transaction fee, everything you need to create, promote, and market your classes, unlimited courses, class upsells, content hosting, fundamental integrations, Stripe/PayPal service, and immediate access to all funds.
Basics — For $49 a month you receive all center and starter features, along with a 5 percent transaction fee, promotions and coupons, monthly subscriptions, class bundles, intermediate integrations, basic Zapier, trickle articles, affiliate coverage, a majority student emailer, custom domain, along with additional course rates. Sites Built With Thinkific
Business — For $99 per month you receive the attributes from all previous plans, no transaction fees, completion certificates, private and concealed classes, site white tagging, a host narrative, intermediate Zapier, webhooks, three-course admin accounts, innovative HTML/CSS editing, priority support, instructor payout reporting, an onboarding telephone, payment strategies, along with an immediate Infusionsoft integration.
Advanced — For $279 a month you get all attributes from previous plans, no transaction fees, a single sign-on (SSO), three site admin accounts, 10-course admin accounts, an onboarding specialist, onboarding bundle, people API, advanced integrations, and innovative Zapier.
Thinkific has some Advantages to its pricing layout. Not only are you able to start your course for free (something that is not offered with competitions such as Teachable,) but the extra 3 plans are broken down in a logical manner.
After all, you Most likely don't need API access until you start becoming advanced with your course promoting.
I would not mind Seeing also the HTML editing as well as the completion certificates however $99 a month still isn't that bad.
As you can see, The transaction prices are 10% to the free program. That's large, however, it creates an environment for those who have low volume or people who don't have the capital to start a professional online shop. You'll be able to cut down that trade fee As soon as you start making money.
Last, you can By paying an annual basis, save money. The Essentials plan goes down to $39 a month if you pay it all upfront. The company plan is $79 a month and the Advanced program is 219. This makes the pricing programs rather similar to Teachable.
I will end this Thinkific review where I began: this is a platform I recommend. Hopefully it is evident by now that it supplies a range of the essential characteristics to encourage your edupreneur in selling classes that are online.
I think it is Important to replicate as I wrap up that Thinkific is a company with a lot of momentum. This is definitely not a trivial point: the marketplace for online course platforms like Thinkific is currently crowded and noisy. You can be certain that a lot of the platforms which are here today is going to be gone tomorrow. I'm convinced that Thinkific will be about, and the company is obviously growing and always investing to improve its platform. Sites Built With Thinkific

Hanging out with my Nikon…with an occasional detour
The decision to visit Panama City was due to our childhood fascination of the Panama Canal. Naturally, it is the first post of our adventure in this Central American city.
Stretching about 80 KM in a north/south direction, Panama City sits on the Pacific side on the south. The Miraflores Locks is located about 15 kms north of the city by Camino de Cruces National Park. On planning this trip, it looked like the only way to get to the Locks was by Uber, Taxi or Tour Group. However, with Rod's smart planning, we were able to use the public system ($1.60 return each) and got there with no issues.
I don't know why, but I thought there would be a line-up of ships waiting to go through the locks. However, it was about a two hour wait before we were to witness the slow procedure. Good thing there was an excellent museum and restaurant that allowed us to pass the time in comfort and out of the +35C degree heat.
Looking to the north
Looking at the center of the Locks. You can see the different heights of the water.
Looking south. Panama City is located to the left of this photo.
Eastern coastline. The Locks are located to the left of this photo.
A huge neo-Panamax ship passes through a third wider lock. This expanded canal was created to allow transit of larger ships that carry more cargo.
We finally get to see the procedure of a ship passing through.
You'll notice the change in water level from the previous photo.
The captain does not navigate through this. It was run by two railed vehicles on both sides. You can see the tethered ropes guiding it through.
The precious cargo
Heading south. Who knows where the destination would be.
It was about 30 minutes from the first photo to the last photo
Road conditions on our recent return from Edmonton was fraught with icy patches brought on by thick fog. Looking at the landscape, you see all the frost clinging onto trees and whatever they can cling onto.
The photos starts off outside of Edmonton, Albert and ends outside of Saskatoon, Sask. I had taken these with my iPhone since my trusty Nikon was tucked inside a camera bag inside a gym bag located at the very back of the car.
On November 1st, the public is invited to bring their carved pumpkins to Rotary Park to be part of a wonderful evening display. I was amazed at some of the intricate carvings that were created. It was gorgeous night and the event was appreciated by all. Kudos to the Nutana Community Association for their efforts.
Because the return flights from the same destination are less expensive, we arrived and departed from Madrid. I felt it fitting that the Parc de Retiro be my last post of our Spain Adventure. The park is located just behind our hotel and it was the first thing we visited when we arrived and the last thing we visited when we departed.
This huge 125 hectares park has more than 15,000 trees with the Bald Cypress, one of the oldest trees at around 400 years old. A favourite for locals to participate in sports, especially running and soccer. The park is also home to architectural beauties such as Palacio de Cristal and the Palacio de Velazquez which are currently used for exhibitions.
Our first visit
After we had our jet lag snooze, we arrived at the Park when the sun was setting. It was a short visit but enough to keep ourselves awake to get in sync with Madrid time.
On the south edge of the park, this pedway runs width-wise from one side of the park to the other. Due to the small rise in this stretch, we found many runners making use of this challenge. Our hotel is located just to the left of the bottom of the path.
Being February, the leafless trees still looked beautiful

The Sports area includes soccer field, tennis courts and basket ball courts

We start at the northwest corner of the park and wander through to the south end

Good-bye Madrid. Good-bye Spain.
My last post of Barcelona is a compilation of photos that did not fit in any of my Barcelona posts. They depict various sights during our four day visit.

Montjuic Mountain ( Barcelona, Spain (4) – Castell de Montjuic ), Mount Tibidabo ( Barcelona, Spain (6) – Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor ) and in our hotel room were the three high points in which these photos were taken from. With a population of 1.6 million in a 100km square space, this city is huge and congested. With so many multi-family dwellings, it would be hard-pressed to find single family residences with front and back yards.

After watching the sunset at the Olympic Park, we make our way back to our hotel. In the distant, you can see Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor glowing on Mount Tibidabo.
One last look at the museum. The lights were an added bonus.
Located at the highest point on Mount Tibidabo, this church was viewable from our hotel room. Curious as to what it was, and as per our usual fascination with high places, we ventured to this area. Also known as the Temple of Tibidabo, this Catholic Church is dedicated to John Bosco. Work started in 1902 by Enric Sagnier and completed in 1961 by his son Josep Sagnier. The interesting aspect about this area was that it is also home to an amusement park, complete with a ferris wheel and roller coaster.
Interior photos are only of the lower level crypt.

Heading back down to the village to catch the funicular, we discover the roller coaster that was not viewable from the church area
In 1992, Barcelona was host to the Summer Olympics. Built on Montjuic Mountain, it overlooks the city. The site was much smaller than what I was expecting. However, a very pleasant visit as we took the time to watch the sunset with the locals.

When we stopped to take a look at our surroundings from the Ferry Terminal, we saw a hill in the distance and as per usual, we make it our mission to conquer it. Unfortunately there was a lack of street signage so we relied our phone map to find our way. Equivalent to about 50 floors, we weaved our to the top and discover an interesting historical site. Not a castle, as the title states, this a military fortress that dates back to the 1600s.
We could have taken the gondola but we always find that part of the fun in reaching a destination, is how you get there.

Former Flying Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi was on the score sheet for Royal Mouscron in their 3-5 loss away to Anderlecht in Sunday's Belgian First Division game at the Constant Vanden Stock stadium, home of Anderlecht.
Awoniyi who is on loan from English Premier League top side Liverpool, started the come back for Mouscron who went down 4-0 following goals from Ryota Morioka in the 26′ minute, before Lukasz Teodorczyk scored a hat-trick in the space of 16 minutes after the restart to take the game well beyond Mouscron's reach, or so it seemed until Awoniyi charged them back into the game.
The 20-year-old Nigerian striker scored in the 70th minute when he latched on to a pass from Dorin Rotariu. Benjamin van Durmen further brought Mouscron into the game with his 72nd minute strike.
Teddy Mezague scored Mouscron's third with four minutes left on the clock and brought the visitors to within a goal of a remarkable come back while sending the Anderlecht fans into high tension, until Ryota Morioka scored in the 90th minute to seal the three points for Anderlecht.
Awoniyi who lasted the entire duration of the match has now scored 8 goals in all competitions for Royal Mouscron in 26 appearances.
Royal Mouscron are 6 points off the relegation spot and will next play against Lokeren next Saturday.
Anderlecht were without Super Eagles striker Henry Onyekuru who is still nursing a long term Knee injury.

New park-and-ride at Mt Barker officially opens
A SECOND park-and-ride facility in Mount Barker was officially opened last week by South Australian Transport and Infrastructure Minister Stephen Mullighan and Mount Baker Mayor Ann Ferguson.
The new park-and-ride facility on Dumas Street features almost 400 car spaces, a bus turn around, a passenger waiting area, toilet facilities, real-time passenger information systems, lighting, CCTV and a bike cage with Metrocard access.
"The expansion of this facility has accommodated the increase in the number of bus services between Adelaide and Mount Barker since it opened to the public," Mr Mullighan said.
"With Mount Barker such a growing and popular place to live, the Government saw the need to provide extra parking spaces for the many commuters travelling to and from the city each day."
The new Dumas Street park-and-ride, which is in addition to the existing 180-space park-and-ride facility at the Mount Barker Streamranger station, is part of a State Government initiative to increase the capacity of park-and-ride facilities.
Also this month, the government opened new park-and-ride facilities at Smithfield and Noarlunga stations. Last month, a new park-and-ride with 400 car spaces was announced for Parafield station and is due for completion in late 2015.
According to the government, there are currently 73 park-and-ride locations and preliminary scoping works are under way for additional facilities at seven other sites including Golden Grove, West Lakes, Tambelin, Bellevue Heights, Crafers, Wayville and Morphettville/Glenelg sites.

Uber Phone Number: How to Call Uber
Getting in touch with a company when you need to is vital, especially in an emergency situation where reading through an FAQ page is not ideal.
If you are in an emergency, immediately call 911.
Once you have contacted the authorities, the emergency only Uber phone number is 800-353-8237 (800-353-UBER).
Not in an emergency but need to contact the popular rideshare service? You're not alone — one of the most common things people ask about is how to contact Uber via phone in a non-emergency situation.
Contacting support via phone may seem ideal, but it is not always the fastest way to get a response from Uber customer service.
Both passengers and drivers can contact Uber online from within their Uber accounts. This can be via the app, social media channels, or Uber's website. The response time varies from a few hours to 24–48 hours depending on how you choose to contact them.
These alternative methods provide users with something major: more time.
Users usually have to wait on hold while contacting a company by phone. If you're on hold for three or four minutes, that's considered quick. But waiting on the phone for several hours is less than ideal. Being glued to the phone as you wait for a representative to pick up your call is time-consuming and, well, annoying. Waiting can put you in a bad mood and when you do finally get in touch with a representative, the experience can be negative.
Due to this, we recommend taking a different approach to contacting Uber. Both drivers and passengers can submit their inquiry and know that a representative will get to them soon.
Despite that, one of the biggest questions we receive is how to get a representative on the phone. To address this concern, we have created the following guide.
Jump to:
- Uber Driver Support
- In-App Calling for Drivers
- Emergency Uber Phone Number
- Passenger Support
- In-App Messaging
- In-Person Help
- Uber Phone Number for Passengers
Uber Driver Support
As we have mentioned, there are many ways to get in touch with support, such as their location-specific web pages. These are the best places to look if you have a question specific to your city.
For more general questions, drivers can check out this help page. Organized by category, this page helps drivers identify the topic their issue falls under.
But sometimes a help page doesn't answer every question. Uber set out to improve this during their 180 Days of Change campaign. Uber's 180 Days of Change campaign was an official commitment to "improving the driver experience."
To kick things off, Uber added almost 40 new features and improvements during the 180 days. Each of these updates aims to improve the entire rideshare experience by streamlining the app's features.
The partner app now sends an update when a passenger changes their route configuration, for example. The rating system received an upgrade, too. Not only is there a rating protection plan set in place, but drivers receive feedback on why they got a negative rating from a passenger.
They also implemented a feature dubbed In-App Calling. With this feature, experienced and new drivers alike can contact phone support 24/7.
In-App Calling for Drivers
To access the In-App Calling feature:
- Open the Uber driver app and click the Account tab.
- Once the menu pops open select the Help option.
- A blue phone icon will appear in the top right-hand corner.
- Once drivers tap this button, a screen overlay will show up with an image that says "Speak to an Agent."
- Below this picture there are two options, cancel and call support.
According to Uber, "Whether you have a question or need to report an incident, our agents are ready to help. For most calls, you'll connect with an agent in under two minutes, yet, due to call volume, the average wait time may vary."
Due to this, we recommend saving the phone call for the following situations:
- Quick fare adjustments
- Issues during a specific trip
- Document reviews
- In-person scheduling help
The availability of customer service is decent for all Uber Rides partners. In the United States, both English- and Spanish-speaking representatives are ready to take your call. Across the border in Quebec, Canada, French phone support is available, too.
For Uber Eats, English-speaking representatives are available in the U.S. French-speaking representatives are available in Quebec.
Emergency Uber Phone Number
If you need to contact someone ASAP, consider using the Critical Safety Response Line. This phone number was discovered by users and developers.
Only use it if what you are experiencing is a true emergency. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, such as a car crash or a disorderly passenger, call 911 first.
Once the authorities are on their way, call the "Critical Safety Response Line" at:
For the record, we have not tested this number ourselves as it is reserved for emergencies only. But we do suggest that all drivers store this number in their phone so it is readily available when the time comes.
Passenger Support
Uber takes care of its passengers, too. Riders have a plethora of available resources for getting the customer support they need.
Related: The Best Ways to Contact Uber
Like driver support, passengers can always visit the help site, which has all the information a rider could need. Determine which category your question revolves around. They make it easy to jump to some of the common questions if you find yourself trying to inquire about that specific topic.
In-App Messaging
For users who do not have time to navigate the Uber website, try messaging a representative via the app. Users can send a direct message to the rideshare company if they know where to look.
- When you are in the Uber app, tap "Account," then "Help" and "Account and Payment."
- From there, you can bypass the category inquiry search by choosing "I can't sign in or go online." Although this seems counter-intuitive, it will get you to the appropriate page.
- You will know you are in the right location because there will be a "Message Us" button on the screen.
- Click that button, type out your request, hit submit, and wait for a response within 24–48 hours.
In-Person Help
If you prefer in-person support, there is the option to talk to someone at Uber face to face. We wouldn't suggest this, as most answers can be found online or by messaging Uber through the app.
To meet with an Uber representative, you can go to an office location in your area. These offices, called "Greenlight Hubs," are in several major cities across North America. Follow this link, enter your city, and check out the nearest Greenlight Hub. Depending on your location, the closest representative may not be too far away.
Note that Greenlight Hubs are only for Uber driver support. They are not centers for passengers to receive in-person support.
Uber Phone Number for Passengers
If you are unable to find answers via the Uber city-specific web page or the help section at help.uber.com, there is another support option for emergency situations.
If you are in an emergency situation, use the Critical Safety Response Line. This is the same number for passengers and drivers. As mentioned above, this is for emergencies only.
Please note: If you are in immediate danger do not hesitate to call 911! If you fear for your safety, it is much better to call the police than to call Uber support.
In response to the recent tragedy of a shooting during an Uber trip, Uber announced an in-app emergency button. This built-in button dials 911 for you. This feature could mean life or death in some scenarios. You never know when you might find yourself in a scary situation and having the ability to call for help is crucial.
Once you notify the police, call the Critical Safety Response Line at 800-353-8237.
Get the Uber Support You Need
Although Uber does not have a straightforward phone number to contact support, there are plenty of ways to get in touch with a representative. Be sure to check out the other available methods before you try calling. More than likely, the information you need is right in front of you.
If you discover that you need a unique response from a representative, consider visiting the nearest Greenlight Hub. Try to leave the In-App Calling feature as a last resort. Keep in mind, the more people that are using the built-in feature the longer the wait time will be for everyone.
As for passengers, check out the available online methods. On average, it takes a lot less time to get the answers you need this way than waiting on the phone.
Always remember, if you are in an emergency situation, call the police. Dialing 911 before you do anything else can reduce the severity of the situation.
Once you know help is on the way, call 800-353-8237 (800-353-UBER) when you can.
