They're young, connected and ready to campaign for issues at the touch of the button.
But not all are serious activists. Many are ready to swear their commitment, but when the day comes to turn online chatter into an offline slog, they go missing.
There's a term for this inaction – slacktivism.
Polytechnic student and slacktivist "Andrea" said: "Online activism is meaningful and I like the idea of increasing awareness of a cause, but I don't think I will really participate physically.
"It's not really as serious online as compared to say, taking it to the streets.... one can sometimes get into trouble and face serious consequences for their physical actions."

The Jacksonville State linebacker was among 10 semifinalists in the running for this year's homecoming king. He missed the cut for the final five by one vote.
Who didn't cast? Among them, Gayton's roommate, quarterback Max Shortell.
"I forgot to tell everybody on the football team to vote for me," Gayton said. "I was one vote out for not making it -- one vote -- and my roommate didn't even vote for me.
"He was, 'Like, man, I forgot to vote for you. I was like that's all right, I only lost by one vote. I gave him a lot of (grief) for that."
In Shortell's defense, Gayton's last-minute campaigning got a little
sidetracked. The final day to vote was the Wednesday before the homecoming pep rally and Tuesday was a typically hard practice for the Gamecocks with
nationally ranked Tennessee State coming to town.
"I was so tired after it I wasn't even thinking about the homecoming thing," he said. "I was going to stand up and tell everybody to vote for me, but it slipped my mind. I told the D-line and everybody -- they voted for me -- but I was one vote out of being in the top five."
Gayton was put on the ballot by his girlfriend's sorority and had only a few
days to prepare for the campaign trail. As part of it, he had to do a little
dance in front of the crowd and answer a question about JSU life blindly drawn from a fishbowl.
He had better luck in the game, making a tackle in the end zone to score the
Gamecocks a safety. He has been credited with 26 tackles this season, 5.5 for loss and three sacks. He recovered Ben Endress' blocked punt last week.
"I got the hardest question. My mind went blank," he said. "I just said, 'Come and support the JSU football team.'
"I don't like getting up in front of a big group of people. It's different playing football. I've got my helmet on and I'm focused on the game. I know the game. I don't know getting up there dancing in front of the student body."
Bryan Green, the son of JSU basketball coach James Green, was among the five who did make it. Kenneth Smith, a 32-year-old art major from Piedmont was crowned king. Kayla Haynes, a junior from Ringgold, Ga., was homecoming queen. Gayton said it would've been "a tossup" had he made the cut, but since his roomie didn't vote the point was moot.
As a junior, he always has next year.
It might be a good idea to start working to get out the vote now.

Toto generally uses two different fill valves. One is easily repaired, one usually needs to be replaced when it fails. I think you should still fall within the warranty period, so I'd call Toto. If the valve you have has a plastic screw on the top, other than cleaning the filter, if it fails, it must be replaced. If it doesn't have that screw, there's a seal that probably will fix it - it takes less than a minute to replace once you've done it the first time.
While you're dealing with this, you may want to check your incoming water pressure. None of the toilet valves like pressure out of range, and in the USA, the max it should ever be is 80psi. If yours is over that, code requires it to be regulated to 80 or less. Excessive pressure can cause that, too. Most common though is either dirt on the seal, or a bad seal. At 8-months, though, it's probably dirt, and removing the seal and cleaning it off will probably fix it, if it is the repairable version. Check the wwhttp://www.korky.com/installinstructions.html site for instructions. Scroll down to the Quiet-fill replacement cap.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Stenton Trust Mill Site
In December of 2007, Maine's Department of Environmental Protection (Maine DEP) requested EPA assistance regarding abandoned containers located inside and around the Stenton Trust Mill in Sanford, Maine. In April 2007, EPA conducted a Preliminary Assessment (PA) and Removal Site Investigation (SI) and also obtained significant amounts of historical and analytical data from the EPA New England Brownfields program. EPA used this information and findings from the PA/SI to document the presence of hazardous substances, including PCBs, ignitable and corrosive characteristic wastes (D001 and D002), universal wastes, and a variety of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds.
The Stenton Trust Mill initially operated as a textile mill during the 1920s. The 270,000 sq. ft. mill building consists of six distinct areas. These include the five-story Tower A, five-story Tower C, one-story Section B, one-story Section D, the loading dock along the north end of the building and the basement that underlies the entire structure except the loading dock.
Gateway Properties, LLC purchased the property in 1999 from the Stenton Trust. From 1999 to the present, Gateway leased portions of the facility to a variety of light-industrial operations. During this period, the mill building has accumulated a large collection of containers (of various size, condition and contents). The majority of abandoned containers are located in the basement, loading dock area, Section D or along the east side of the building. The building does not have an operating temperature-control system or sprinkler system.
During this period, EPA On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) John McKeown completed the removal objectives listed in the Action Memorandum and coordinated with Maine DEP, the City of Sanford, Gateway LLC (current owner), Gardner Savings Bank (holder of lien) and current businesses operating on the property.
EPA divided the cleanup into four separate actions. The first was transformer removal and disposal. ERRS subcontracted the removal, transportation and disposal (T&D) of the eleven (11) transformers to ENPRO, who subcontracted the T&D to Transformers Services Inc. (TSI). On September 30, 2008, TSI used a crane to move the transformers from the transformer pad and loading dock onto a flatbed truck. TSI drained the transformer oil into a 500-gallon poly tote and transported the transformer oil and the empty containers to an EPA-approved disposal facility.
Next were the 55-gallon drum inventory, recovery and disposal. ERRS characterized, over-packed and staged all 55-gallon drums containing hazardous substances in section D of the mill building. ERRS subcontracted the T&D of the 55-gallon drums to Clean Venture General Chemical (CVGC). On September 30, 2008, CVGC completed the T&D of all 55-gallon drums to an EPA-approved disposal facility.
The third action was inventory, recovery and disposal of all remaining containers of hazardous substances. ERRS completed characterizing the hazardous substances in containers smaller than 55 gallons, and then staged the containers in Section D of the mill building. ERRS subcontracted CVGC to complete T&D of the containers. On September 30, 2008, CVGC completed the T&D of the containers to an EPA-approved disposal facility.
The fourth task was recovery and disposal of Universal Waste. On September 13 and 15, 2008, ERRS shipped two rolloffs of computer-related universal waste (monitors, CPUs, keyboards, printers...) to an EPA-approved disposal facility. EPA grouped the fluorescent bulbs and PCB ballasts with the small containers for T&D. On September 20, 2008, CVGC completed T&D of the fluorescent bulbs and PCB ballasts to an EPA-approved disposal facility. EPA, START and ERRS completed work at the Stenton Trust Mill site on September 30.

Start pondering fungicides now
By TOM J. BECHMAN
Soybeans don't go in the ground for three months. Then it's another couple of months before you would spray fungicides. However, it's not too early to weigh your options.
This month's Crops Corner question asks for opinions about fungicides. The Indiana Certified Crop Advisers panel includes Greg Kneubuhler, G & K Concepts Inc., Harlan; Jeff Nagel, Ceres Solutions, Lafayette; and Darrell Shemwell, Posey County Co-op, Poseyville.
I'm thinking about spraying foliar fungicides over soybeans. What diseases am I really targeting? Should I spray all fields?
Key Points
• Know which diseases fungicides can control.
• Look at reputable plot data to compare possible returns vs. costs.
• Many plot trials conducted over time often show inconsistent results.
Kneubuhler: This is a million-dollar question every year. From our clients' plots we've seen some overall positive benefits. In my opinion, you're not targeting any one disease. Timing on fungicides comes before diseases are apparent. Typically, if diseases are prevalent, the benefit of the fungicide has already diminished.
Over time, treatment with fungicides offers a return on investment, with some years being better than others. A fungicide will not make 30-bushel soybeans into 50-bushel soybeans.
You apply fungicides in anticipation of the potential for disease. So if weather conditions are favorable for disease, payback will likely improve.
Nagel: Most foliar fungicides are labeled for activity on these diseases: Asian soybean rust, brown spot, cercospora blight, frogeye leafspot, and pod and stem blight. We've seen all of these diseases, except for rust. But severity varies based upon growing season, soybean variety and field history.
Brown spot can be found in just about every field. Most pathologists don't feel it causes much yield loss, but we've occasionally observed fields with significant early-season defoliation on lower leaves. Frogeye is rather new to central and northern Indiana. We haven't seen significant yield reduction.
Thresholds are generally vague for many foliar diseases. Work with a trusted CCA to monitor for foliar diseases. Treat as necessary. Replicated strip trials help evaluate potential returns for fungicide applications.
Shemwell: Some diseases controlled are powdery mildew, downy mildew, rust, cercospora leaf spot, frogeye leaf spot, anthracnose, brown spot, and pod and stem blight. In most years we see one or more of these here, but it may not be economically feasible to make a fungicide application. Over the past few years we've seen inconsistent results from fungicides that were sprayed. We've seen a range from negative yield results to yield increases up 15 bushels per acre. On average, the yield increase is about 2 bushels per acre.
Environmental factors should be considered. If you're experiencing dry conditions, you'll be less likely to have disease pressure compared to if it's wet.
CLEAN BEANS: Jeff Phillips, Tippecanoe County Extension educator, finds cleaner beans at harvest whenever he sprays fungicides in plots. However, the difference doesn't always show up as significant yield gains.

All four of the whites need capped together at the fixture.
Hello All,
First-time poster here and looking forward to becoming a part of the community here. I have a need for help with a strange wiring situation in my bathroom. I have attached the following image which is crudely drawn, so I apologize. Assume there is a ground wire in all sections of this diagram. I have a neutral and hot 14 gauge wire coming into a wall switch. The output of that switch is neutral, hot, and red wires. The red wire receives the current when the switch is on and the black hot coming into the switch simply wraps around the other screw and gets capped with the black wire that continues up into the ceiling. In the ceiling box previously, the red went to the hot screw of the light fixture, the black wire got capped with the black wire that continue on through the circuit, and the neutral white had a section cut out of it, was wrapped around the fixture's other screw and then was capped with the white wire that continued on through the circuit. My question is:
The new light fixture I have has two bulbs and has two whites and two blacks coming out of it. Knowing that the red was the hot when the switch was on, I capped the red together with the two blacks from the fixture. For the two whites, I capped one with the incoming white ceiling wire and one with the outgoing white ceiling wire. When I turn the circuit on and the switch is off, both bulbs glow faintly. When I turn the switch ON, only one bulb glows brightly. Can somebody tell me what I am doing so terribly wrong here? I have just never run into this situation before. The red (as far as I know) is not part of a multi switch setup and may have been part of a fan/smoke detector setup. I appreciate the help in advance if anyone can lend it.
All four of the whites need capped together at the fixture.
Thank you guys - will try that approach tonight and now that I read that out loud, it makes perfect sense and I'm not sure why I didn't try that first.
Appreciate the help and hope to become a helpful contributor here.
When the switch is off, you are using the bulbs as part of the circuit's neutral wiring, (the hot which is off at the time, is being used as a "shunt" between the two neutrals, causing the bulbs to glow), which should serious impact on whatever is farther down the line on that circuit. When the switch is turned on, it negates the shunt to the "broken" neutral, so only the one bulb works properly.

Back in the autumn of last year, Platoon Kunsthalle Seoul built on the success of previous conferences in London, Berlin and New York on The Idea of Communism to present the 4th Idea of Communism Conference. The meeting gathered some of the most prominent theorists and philosophers of the contemporary left, including Verso authors Slavoj Žižek and Alain Badiou.
You can now view a recording of the entirety of Zizek's fascinating talk on Youtube, as featured below. In the talk he delves into ideas expressed in both volumes of The Idea of Communism.
With contributions from Jodi Dean, Antonio Negri and Terry Eagleton, the Idea of Communism volumes offer a lively and thought-provoking overview of the ideas and debates provoking communist theory today.
To read more about the conference, including a mission statement from the organizers and the full list of speakers, click here.
To celebrate the release of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology, we're giving away a total of 14 Žižek books. You could win this entire Žižek library, including everything from his recent tome on dialectical materialism – Less Than Nothing – to Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lacan: (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock). Look at the books you can win here!
We are also giving away tickets to a screening of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology for a special screening with a Q&A with the director Sophie Fiennes at the ICA in London on Saturday 5 October, 6pm.
How it works:
There are just five questions, each relating to Žižek's writings and films. The first person to email with all five correct answers will win the full Žižek backlist plus one pair of tickets to a screening of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology. We will also be offering four runner-up prizes of Žižek's recently published Less Than Nothing and The Year of Dreaming Dangerously plus one pair of tickets to the screening of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology each.

In 2002, coming off an annual meeting where it lost $700,000, the brain trust at the Employee Relocation Council made a move that probably seemed counterintuitive at the time but, in fact, was two steps ahead of their competition — they went global.
Some might think it's the wrong time to invest the money and resources on global meetings, but Cris Collie, executive vice president at the Washington, D.C.-based association, had a different perspective. "It was shortly after 9/11 and our competitors were retrenching, so we decided to make a bold move," says Collie.
Seeing an opportunity to grow the association overseas at a time when the competition might be back on its heels, ERC set plans in motion to launch meetings in Europe and Asia. "We moved so quickly and aggressively that what would have been our competition decided not to compete," says Collie. "We needed to plant a flag globally and take our meeting to our members overseas."
Many associations are re-evaluating their place in the world and are using meetings to tap into new markets to survive and thrive in the 21st century. "In the last two years, there has been a growing interest by U.S.-based associations to be involved overseas by holding meetings, even opening offices," says Greta Kotler, chief knowledge and strategy officer at the American Society of Association Executives, which sponsored a study mission to China last year for association executives and is planning one in 2008 to India. In the last two years, according to ASAE, 47 percent of associations held meetings outside the United States. A reader survey conducted by The Meetings Group (publisher of Association Meetings), which was published in the Beyond Borders supplement, found that 48 percent of respondents will hold more meetings outside the U.S. in 2007 than they did in 2006. In the future, experts expect the numbers to be even higher as associations find a new world of potential meetings opportunities.
Growth in a Flattening World
In the best-selling book, The World Is Flat, author Thomas Friedman discusses globalization in the 21st century and how technology and other factors have connected economies and people. That reality is beginning to hit associations. "The globalization of associations mirrors what's happening in the business world," says Terrance Barkan, chief executive officer at Association Global Services, a Washington, D.C.-based consultancy. As the business world goes global, associations need to be there for their global membership, he says.
It's what prompted the Financial Management Association to expand into Europe and Asia in recent years. "The financial markets have been globalizing pretty rapidly," says Jack Rader, executive director at FMA, Tampa. "We have a mission of serving the global finance community and that was the impetus for taking our meetings outside of North America."
The globalization of associations is really a two-way street, says Claire Smith, president, Claire Smith Solutions, Vancouver, British Columbia, an association consultant. "Most of it is driven by members, who want exposure to global education, research, and networking," she says, while associations want to expand their reach and attract new members.
While many associations have come to the realization that the world is flat — that is, interconnected — some are realizing that the U.S. is flat in a different sense: future growth potential. "How much more incremental growth can mature associations achieve in the U.S. versus going to a new market where there's a high desire for their products and services?" asks Barkan.
Smith also sees the growth dilemma for associations. "The fact that North America may be saturated for some associations from a membership standpoint is definitely a factor," she says.
For the Photo Marketing Association International it certainly was. The Jackson, Mich.-based association expanded internationally in the 1990s because they expected membership to "level off," explains Bruce Aldrich, senior operations officer at PMAI. Now, the association has 11 offices around the world, hosts seven international meetings annually, and has seen membership grow by more than 30 percent, with most, if not all of that growth, coming from overseas. About 50 percent of members are from outside North America, up from about 15 percent prior to the expansion.
Stiff Competition
Another challenge that U.S.-based associations face is competition. There is more competition in the more mature North American market, not only from other associations but from for-profit organizations as well, states Carolyn Lugbill, president, Going Global Matters, a Fairfax, Va.-based consultant. There's competition for members and there's competition for products and services, such as certification programs.
In this global economy, associations that don't look to spread their influence overseas will fall behind because eventually your competitors will, says David Weil, senior director, convention and trade show services at SmithBucklin Corp., a Chicago-based association management company.
Which is why ERC acted when it did — and its "bold move" has been a turning point for the association. Since 2003, the first year of the Asia meeting, international membership has grown by about 50 percent. "Our membership is growing, principally with new members from international locations," says Collie. The meetings themselves have also flourished. This year's Asia conference, held in Shanghai, China, attracted 400 people, twice as many as the first Asia conference in 2003.
That kind of membership growth would probably not have been possible if ERC didn't host international events. "You need to meet your international members there," says Collie. "Until you're there, getting them talking about what their issues are, it's difficult to be the ultimate problem-solvers for them." It also shows international members that "you are truly global," says Collie — not international in name only.
The American Anaplastology Association is just the opposite, an international association in scope, but not in name — for now, anyway. Of its membership, 30 percent is international, which is why the association is considering changing its name to reflect its international nature, explains MaryAnne Bobrow, executive director at AAA and president of association management company, Bobrow and Associates, Citrus Heights, Calif. It's also why the association is considering launching an international meeting. The question that AAA and other organizations that are inclined to go global must answer is: How?
Act Globally, Think Locally
While meetings are a major part of a global initiative, experts say that you need to do your homework first. Analyze your membership to see where high concentrations of members are, but also, do market research to see which regions are key markets for the industry. For example, PMAI's first international event was in Australia because that country was on the cutting edge of photo industry research and manufacturing. Also, look at your competition and other events in the industry to see if they are filling a void, says Aldrich. Finally, he says, check with your local suppliers. "Do the suppliers even want us there? If the suppliers don't want us there, why are we even thinking about it?"
The recent global expansion of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society was driven in part by input from exhibitors and members from both Asia and Europe, who were coming to the U.S. meeting in growing numbers. Enough of them said HIMSS would be filling a void if it launched meetings overseas, so the association decided to act globally, says Stephen Lieber, president and chief executive officer at the Chicago-based association.
But HIMSS did not try to replicate its very successful — and growing — U.S.-based annual meeting, which attracts about 25,000 people. It took a fresh look at both launches — Europe in 2006 and Asia this year. "Nobody should go into this believing that they can take their experience in the U.S. and just transplant it," says Lieber. "If you go in with that attitude, you're going to run into resistance with your partners in the other countries and you're going to make some serious missteps."
Collie agrees. "Going global requires you to not just take what you're doing here and give it a foreign address," he says, because the needs of members in a given region or country can be vastly different from the needs of U.S. members. In short, associations that act globally need to think locally.
Going Native
HIMSS' European meeting, which debuted last October in Geneva, required a very European "look and feel," both in content and presentation, says Lieber. European members prefer local speakers and want to discuss their own issues and best practices rather than having American speakers talk about U.S trends. So, HIMSS established a European headquarters in Brussels, where the marketing is handled and much of the content is planned with an expectation that over time, all content will be handled out of Brussels, says Lieber.
Also, to ensure the local flavor, HIMSS partnered with several European information technology and healthcare organizations as co-sponsors and even branded "The World of IT," intentionally leaving HIMSS out of the name.
It was an immediate success, attracting 1,800 to become the largest IT conference in Europe. But Lieber knows that true success in Europe is long-term. "We don't have any (short-term) goals and we didn't set any on purpose because our belief is that the first year is more about building infrastructure and programs. If you don't have good programs and services, it doesn't matter what you set as your membership metric, it's just not going to happen."
Also, experts say, Europeans are generally less inclined than Americans to join associations, so success can't always be measured by membership. "We here in the U.S. are a nation of joiners, we like to belong, whereas in other cultures joining is not as [much] of a cultural custom or need," says Lugbill. "So sometimes you have to use the platform of a meeting to allow them to see the value of becoming a member."
Or, says Smith, the driver could be to generate awareness of the association; sell products or services; get exhibitors or sponsors; and promote training, certification programs, and education. "Every organization may have different goals," adds Smith. "There may be products that an association can offer in regions that are financially rewarding."
Seek Local Help
In Asia, where HIMSS launched its inaugural conference in Singapore this past May, it's a different story. The market is less mature, so members are looking for more outside feedback and information about U.S.-based standards and practices. Consequently, the event, called HIMSS AsiaPac, carries the HIMSS name. Educational content was planned out of the Chicago office of HIMSS, while its event management partner, MCI Group, handled the logistics out of its Singapore office. Having local planners, convention and visitors bureaus, and destination management companies who understand the customs, cultural differences, and the vendors is essential, experts say.
"The most important thing is to find good partners to help guide you through those cultural differences," says Smith. "Find a good DMC or PCO that is based in that country, because that can make a huge difference," she says. For example, a local PCO (professional convention organizer) will let you know not to schedule a breakfast meeting in Spain at 7:30 a.m., because no one will show up. For help with programming and educational content, consult local members or establish a local advisory committee.
Input from the local members is critical, says Aldrich. "Meet local needs," he says. For its meeting in Brazil, the members were more interested in networking than in market research and presentations. "So, why are we trying to cram all this stuff down their throats when they don't want it."
Unlike in Europe, HIMSS won't be opening an office in Asia, at least not now. "We're trying to establish the organization's name recognition around that annual event" and then create the business model from there, says Lieber. "Will it be that we create events in various places across Asia or will we create HIMSS organizations in individual countries?" he asks. "We're anxious to see what the reaction is to the educational conference in Asia."
Meetings are a good "test balloon" to see if a region has long-term potential for an association. "The first thing to do is to have an event there to see what kind of excitement it generates," says Aldrich. If it is well-received, then the next question might be: "Does it warrant our having an office there?"
Questions, questions, questions — there's more than one way to go global.
To Go or Not to Go
The American Anaplastology Association is mulling several options for going global. One idea is to rotate regional meetings in regions where there is a high concentration of international members, like Europe, South Africa, and Asia.
Another idea is to hold the annual meeting overseas every other year, but with 70 percent of the membership from the U.S., that could be a financial risk. If it's going to adversely affect attendance — and revenues — then that's a problem, says Bobrow. But for associations where the membership split is closer to 50/50, it might be a solution.
Forming partnerships with sister associations in other countries is another option. Most regions have associations for any given field, but for the most part they are not as sophisticated as U.S.-based associations — and many embrace the idea of partnering with U.S. associations.
Associations can partner in a variety of ways, says Barkan. They can do a 50/50 joint venture; get the local endorsement of the association, but run it themselves; or do the reverse and play a small role, maybe host a reception or lend some speakers, and still get visibility. A co-located meeting is another possibility, particularly if it's with an association in a slightly different field that might have members who are interested in checking out your event.
PMAI has joint meetings with associations in Australia, Brazil, and Europe where they promote their annual event back in the U.S. while building membership abroad. They also have international pavilions at their U.S. meeting to market their partners' meetings overseas.
The Financial Management Association got into Asia by co-sponsoring a meeting with the Asian Finance Association with which it has overlapping membership. For FMA, it was an opportunity to serve Asian members and get more exposure, while the Asian association was able to tap into the superior education and networking potential that FMA offers, explains Rader.
In the future, FMA hopes to host its own conference in Asia and launch meetings in developing regions like India and Latin America. "The future of many associations is going to be more and more tied to face-to-face contact, so we will continue to evolve our meetings portfolio," says Rader. In this age, where digital communications and technology has made the world "flat," association meetings are more important than ever, he says. From his perspective, the globalization of associations is not about technology — it's about meetings.
"What associations really can offer that digitalization cannot is face-to-face contact," Rader adds. "If we can offer that in interesting places, perhaps instead of sitting in your office by yourself and getting the information, you'll go to Barcelona to meet with your peers and get even more out of it."
MPI Makes a Splash Overseas
Meeting Professionals International announced the formation of a new conference in Dubai, and it plans to open an office in Singapore later this year. Soon, MPI will launch a conference in Asia.
Dallas-based MPI has long been on the leading edge of the globalization trend, expanding into Europe in the early 1990s with PEC-Europe. This latest push puts the association at the forefront of the next wave of globalization — to Asia.
"The key driver behind the global strategy is the desire to meet the needs of our current membership," says Didier Scaillet, vice president of global development at MPI. In recent years, many members have said they have meeting responsibilities in emerging destinations, like India, China, the Middle East, and need guidance. "Obviously, we do hope that a spinoff is that we'll be able to recruit more members and create chapters in other parts of the world," he says.
MPI has experienced strong international growth since it started its first European chapter in 1992. At the time, 3 percent of members were from outside North America. Now, international membership is 10 percent, growing by an average of 20 percent annually for the last 10 years. By 2010, MPI is hoping to double its international membership from outside of North America to 20 percent.
PEC Middle East is targeted at members who want to learn more about the region as a meetings destination and planners in the Middle East. "There is a huge amount of infrastructure development taking place in that part of the world, and they are starting to attract fairly significant meetings," says Scaillet. The motivation for launching PEC Asia is similar, he adds, but MPI decided to open an office in Singapore first to better understand the diverse marketplace.
MPI has set an attendance goal of 150 for Dubai, but based on interest it has generated, Scaillet wouldn't be surprised if it were twice that. The biggest challenge is going to be overcoming the perception of the region, particularly in the U.S.
The International Face of U.S.-Based Meetings
For Photo Marketing Association International, expanding its meetings globally has helped to draw international delegates to its annual meeting in the U.S., which attracts about 25,000 people. While U.S. attendance has been relatively flat over the years, international attendance has grown by about 30 percent.
But most associations have not experienced the same success in attracting international attendees to U.S.-based meetings.
While 45 percent of U.S.-based associations have international members, about 51 percent attract less than 5 percent of their attendees from international markets and just 14 percent have international attendance of more than 25 percent, according to a survey conducted by the Professional Convention Management Association. Only 29 percent report an increase since 2000.
"The ability of associations to grow their North American meeting may be limited because it is getting more difficult to gain access to the U.S. from some parts of the world " says Claire Smith, president, Claire Smith Solutions, Vancouver, British Columbia.
There are two reasons why, says Terrance Barkan, CEO at Association Global Services, a Washington, D.C.-based consultancy. "There are people who physically have a harder time getting into the States because there are more visa requirements." Also, he says, it's a hassle. "You have to get half naked in the airport to get through security; you can't take any liquids. We make all these barriers for entry so a lot of people that would otherwise go, don't."
China: The Waking Giant
With some 200 convention centers being built throughout the country, China is rapidly gaining the infrastructure to become a major player in the meetings industry. Western associations have taken notice, but few have actually taken the plunge and held meetings there — so far.
"There is huge interest right now in China because it is such an untapped market [that is] hungry for knowledge and contact with North American associations," says Claire Smith, president, Claire Smith Solutions, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based consultant. "But the majority of meeting activity is still being held in Asian cities such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur, which are more experienced hosting international meetings."
While the infrastructure in China is coming, it's not at the level that many western groups are used to, she says. Accessibility is also a factor. It can still be difficult to get flights in and out of the country as well as move people around to different sites.
But infrastructure and access is improving, says Smith, and she suspects that the diplomatic hoops will be easier to navigate once the infrastructure is in place and interest grows. "People are starting to do it — looking at major cities like Beijing and Shanghai that they wouldn't have looked at before."
Last October, ASAE sponsored a study mission to China for about 30 association executives. During the 10-day trip, the delegation traveled the country and met with business leaders to exchange ideas and learn about China as a meetings destination.
This past March, the Employee Relocation Council, a Washington, D.C.-based association, held its annual Asia-Pacific Summit in Shanghai for the first time. ERC had record attendance there, attracting 400 attendees, including about 140 Chinese, says Cris Collie, ERC's executive vice president.
The meeting was a great success, but not without careful planning, says Collie. "You need a partnership with the government. You need some sort of governmental endorsement," he says. The fact that ERC opened an office in Shanghai last year and that its management company, Association Global Services, has an office there helped. "You really need a local partner." The deputy mayor of Shanghai welcomed the delegation at the opening session and a delegation from a sister association in Shanghai was also in attendance.
There were some challenges, such as getting some of the exhibitors through customs and respecting local protocol and cultural norms. While the meeting was held in English, there were simultaneous translations for some sessions. They also exchanged gifts with the deputy mayor. The city was very welcoming and the conference was well-received, says Collie. The educational focus of the conference, work force mobility, is a topic of great interest in China's growing economy. The host hotel, the Shangri-La, "was a wonderful partner," adds Collie. "The meeting was so successful, I think we're going to go back to Shanghai again next year."

Pros – Really flexible hours that can work around school schedules.
Don't have to deal with customers too much.
Work at your own pace.
I pretty much controlled the inventory warehouse and organized it.
Management don't give you any trouble as long as you stay on top of your work.
Unload truck deliveries.
Cons – Somtimes you might be asked to work really early. But if you don't mind waking up at 4 am to get ready for work, then this job is for you.
Advice to Senior Management – Try to recognize a hard worker when you see one.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Best Buy full-time for more than 5 years

Templates for unique id generation for types : a beginning
After reading one of the comments on this blog post, I decided to publish here a proof of concept for the generation of unique ids for types.
Basically, it's just about one template structure, using very basical templates techniques : specialization, metaprogramming-level recursion and nested enum for the computation. Either a familiarity with template metaprogramming or with functional programming is enough to understand the following code.
If you're familiar with any scheme of functional recursion, or recursion in its mathematical sense, you'll get it quite easily. Mathematically, we're somehow defining a recursive function generate_id this way :
Which, in C++, becomes :
template <typename T> struct id_generator; template <typename T> struct id_generator<T*> { enum { result = id_generator<T>::result*2 }; }; template <typename T> struct id_generator<T&> { enum { result = id_generator<T>::result*3 }; }; template <typename T> struct id_generator< std::vector<T> > { enum { result = id_generator<T>::result*11 }; }; template <> struct id_generator<int> { enum { result = 5 }; }; template <> struct id_generator<char> { enum { result = 7 }; };
And a minimal example of use :
int main() { std::cout << "int : " << id_generator< int >::result << std::endl << "char**** : " << id_generator< char**** >::result << std::endl << "vector<int> : " << id_generator< std::vector<int> >::result << std::endl; return 0; } /* Output : int : 5 char**** : 112 vector<int> : 55 */
To make it really usable, you'll have to add much (much much much) more :
- base types, like int and char here, which help for terminating the recursive call
- composition rules, like vector, references and pointers here, which help for propagating the recursion
To ensure the uniqueness here, I use prime numbers, simply [1]. Indeed, for the base types, I give a value being a prime number. For the different compositions, I multiply by a different prime number for each. However, most of you may have noticed that the id only lets you know about what type compositions and base types are used, but gives nothing about the order. If we add a rule for std::list, multiplying by 13 for example, then a list of vectors of ints will have the same id as a vector of lists of int. It'd need additional code and workarounds to take the order of the compositions in account — I guess it is possible though. If any reader here comes up with a solution, let us know. A possible solution would be to drop prime numbers, since they rely on a commutative (abelian) ring [2].

Look at Boost.Typeof.
It uses something similar yet different so you can use it with your own types and not only primitive :)
It seems you assign the same ID to vector* and vector. Obviously, this encoding doesn't work. You might want to approach the mapping a bit differently. You can think of the type as a tree. Encoding and decoding that tree as a sequence of "symbols" is straightforward. Mapping the sequence of symbols to integers is straightforward, too. I just don't see the point in all this. What do you need IDs for?
I always forget about worpress eating angle brackets. What I ment to say was you get the same ID for vector<int*> and vector<int>*.
Hello Alp.
Here is my propposal for a unique type ID :
generateid(int) = 1
generateid(char) = 2
generateid(float) = 3
∀T, generateid(pointer to T) = 4 × generateid(T) + 0
∀T, generateid(ref to T) = 4 × generateid(T) + 1
∀T, generateid(vector of T) = 4 × generateid(T) + 2
∀T, generateid(list of T) = 4 × generateid(T) + 3
Powerful post.
Navy maintains no such experiment occurred.
Only in the final decade has there been an explosion on solar conversion technologies.
I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your website.
It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for
me to come here and visit more often. Did yoou hire outt a developer to create your
theme? Fantastic work!
Today, while I was at work, mmy cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to
see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she hhas 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from aan established
blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I
can figure things out peetty fast. I'm thinking about setting uup my own but I'm not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers
