Changing divorce for good.
Funded on Oct 12 2014
Wevorce is a high-tech & high-touch approach to divorce that keeps families out of court. We've built a national divorce company that uses online and offline services to streamline the divorce process so it is more affordable and faster. Our marketplace connects divorcing families with Wevorce-certified mediators who are experts in family law, co-parenting, and the financial aspects of divorce.
The San Francisco-based company Wevorce helps couples save time and money, while also offering counseling.
Wevorce co-founder Michelle Crosby on how the software streamlines the divorce process for couples.
The Wevorce technology platform aims to help couples divorce amicably, with online and in-person mediation sessions.
Michelle Crosby of San Mateo, Calif., is a child of divorce who is divorced herself and now remarried. A family law attorney, Crosby, 37, in January founded Wevorce, a company "focused on amicable divorce — legal, emotional and financial."
One of the big draws of a collaborative divorce is that it can save consumers money. Reliable statistics on the cost of an average divorce are hard to come by, but the general consensus is that an average divorce costs between $15,000 and $30,000. But if you opt for the mediation route – at least at Wevorce – the average price point is about $7,500, Crosby says.
Michelle Crosby, co-founder and CEO of divorce mediation start-up Wevorce, knew what she wanted to do when she was nine. Six years into an epic custody battle, one of her parents' lawyers put her on the stand and asked her which parent she would want to be with on a desert island. "At nine, you can't answer that question, and you shouldn't have to," she says. "At nine, I knew this space was broken."
The six-step programme guides families through decisions relating to finances, property, and most importantly, the children.
Besides making the divorce process more understandable and speedy, the company also claims to make it cheaper. Wevorce says its set fees range from $3,500 to $15,000. The company says the average case costs less than $10,000 while traditional divorces can cost upward of $27,000.
She imagines a Wevorce office for every 400,000 Americans and estimates $1 billion in annual revenue. "We want," she said, reaching for one of the valley's most ubiquitous buzzwords, "to disrupt divorce."
"By humanizing the process and identifying that this is a family going through a very stressful transition together," she says, hers is a new path to divorce that uses technology and a team of divorce "architects" that walk families through the process.
So far, the hundred or so pilot families going through the process haven't had any of the kind of divorce meltdowns you might see in movies or television, where they end up fighting it out in court, co-founder Michelle Crosby said.
Wevorce founder Michelle Crosby knows the pain of divorce all too well. At the age of nine, her parents were going through a bitter court battle. When she took the witness stand, the judge asked her: "Which parent will you choose?"
"When you are nine, you can't answer at questions," Michelle says.
She felt confused and overwhelmed. They were asking her to pick which one was her favorite parent, and she didn't know how to answer.
At the time, divorce settlements meant mom got the kids and dad had to live with seeing them every other weekend. That wasn't enough for Michelle's father, so he challenged it. Unfortunately, because of the way the divorce process generally works, this meant that Michelle was dragged to court every other year.
The stress from experiencing such a bitter divorce stayed with her and wound up influencing her career choice. Michelle attended Gonzaga University of Law in order to pursue family law so she could help make sure other children didn't have to go through a similar traumatic experience.
Through her studies and practice, she started to understand why so many divorces wind up like her parent's one did. When partners decide to divorce, two different lawyers are hired who work towards ensuring that the partner they represent walks away with as many of the family's possessions as possible, including the kids.
"Law schools train lawyers to be advocates. Lawyers sit with their clients and are taught to think about the process from that one client's perspective," Michelle said. "They fail to recognize there's a whole family involved or how divorce sets the stage for co-parenting. That's a rough way to begin a change especially when this is your family."
Michelle couldn't bring herself to practice family law in that way, so she joined a corporate securities firm instead. After years at that firm and on the eve of a coveted partner promotion, Michelle realized that she had drifted even further away from the reason she went to law school in the first place.
So she quit and decided to start her own family law practice that would change the divorce process in the way that she had always understood was needed.
"I wanted to go work with families," Michelle said, "and help them through tough times to make decisions for their families. The transition during a divorce maybe from the husband and wife role, but there's no reason couples can't maintain the mom and dad role for life," she added.
To say that many families could benefit from an improved divorce process would be an understatement. According to the CDC, nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. The chance of staying together in a second or third marriage is even less likely, and children are directly impacted by the change. The Effects of Divorce On America found that fifty percent of children born to married parents will experience divorce before they are 18-years-old. And various studies have shown that children who experience the divorce of their parents require psychological help.
Second to the death of a spouse or child, divorce is the most traumatizing life event that one can experience, so grieving through the process is expected. Michelle experienced this grief first-hand. After being married for 13 years, she went through an amicable divorce with her husband using her own methodology. Seemingly trapped in the divorce system herself, her only escape has been through creating a new way to get divorced -- one that is augmented by software and prioritizes empathy for the children involved.
"I've walked the shoes of every role -- the child of a divorce, a wife who was divorced, and a lawyer helping other people get divorced," Michelle said.
Wevorce believes that a healthy divorce is about much more than completing the necessary paperwork. That's why the company focuses as much on the emotional and financial elements of divorce, as they do on the legal aspects.
Wevorce begins by knowing the divorce space better than any team anywhere. For example, there are numerous stumbling blocks that all families encounter, so Wevorce has built a systems that recognizes those patterns and normalizes (or avoids) them.
The Wevorce process starts from a different place than a traditional divorce. Instead of two lawyers competing against one another, Wevorce puts one attorney/mediator at the center whose job it is to help the family find the best way to co-parent, divide their marital assets, and move forward. There are five steps to our online/off-line process : Amicable divorce planning, sustainable co-parenting planning, partnering agreement, financial mapping, financial agreements, and divorce settlement.
Each step involves an online homework and in-person meeting with the attorney mediator and an accompanying software component.
"The idea of combining technology in this conversation is really new. Using technology to make the professional's job easier is the key. It allows them to save costs and do away with paper files," Michelle said.
Family attorneys wind up doing a lot of paperwork, a reality that is cumbersome for them, and expensive for their clients. Wevorce has developed software that helps attorneys complete that paperwork in 60 percent of the time that it normally takes. Clients can answer questions using a tablet while meeting with the attorney and complete other components of the process on their computers at home.
In addition to walking the couple through the process, the software gives couples helpful information about the complexity of what they are going through. For instance, there's a video that explains how the brain's amygdala region, where emotions are stored, is affected during a divorce. When someone is going through the emotions of divorce it is impossible to make a logical decision. The video shows parents that when they experience an emotional trigger, they can have a rush of adrenaline that lasts for hours. To relieve this, the video suggests that they identify a way to calm down and get back to making logical decisions.
Companies such as LegalZoom have provided online paperwork that is standard in divorce settlements. However, people have a hard time navigating hundreds of pages of legal documents, "Even if you choose do-it-yourself methods, they are dealing with 170 pages of double sided documents that use jargin like "pro rata" and "jurisdiction" that the average family has a hard time understanding." Michelle said. "We populate those legal documents and we are doing it in a much more human fashion."
Wevorce has already helped families in 10 U.S. states and plans to expand to all 50 states by the end of the year.
In just two years, the system has saved clients $2.5 million in legal fees. In January 2013, Michelle moved to Mountain View, California to join a prestigious incubator program called Y Combinator to further develop the software powering Wevorce with her co-founder Jeff Reynolds.
Michelle was speaking at an Ignite conference, where Jeff happened to be one of the organizers. Jeff joined as co-founder after a mutual friend suggested they meet for coffee. Jeff's parents had also gone through a divorce when he was a child, so felt a personal drive to make the divorce process better.
"If my parents had had this, I wouldn't have spent 20 years worrying about them bumping into each other. Or stressed out about thinking about the transition between my mom and dad's house," Jeff said. "My parents didn't know how that would impact their kids and how it would impact future relationships. They were focused on getting out of each other's sight. But it turns out, that's not really a healthy approach to build a future on."
Jeff brings a history of entrepreneurial experience to the team. He has founded or grown with companies, and is building on that experience to bring Wevorce to a number of new locations.
There is a list of 400 attorneys across the country waiting to join Wevorce.
Like most startups, Wevorce is testing different pricing models, but currently averages around $6,900 a client. The average family spends $27,000 on divorce, so Wevorce costs less than a third of what they would otherwise expect to pay, while giving them much more. Families call Wevorce to book an appointment. The couple schedules a meeting with an attorney mediator for a consultation where the couple gets the same information together rather than each partner coming to the table with different ideas from their respective attorneys. Delivering the information this way, Michelle said, builds trust.
The trust built through their process helps Wevorce get clients to a resolution relatively quickly, but they often want to expedite the process.
"I always try to say, how long did you spend planning your Wedding? When you are uncoupling, it takes time for everyone to adjust, including the children," Michelle said.
The fastest couples go through the Wevorce process in 6 weeks, but on average, it takes about 90 days. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates the average length of divorce proceedings to take 1 year.
Wevorce is a national divorce company that keeps families out of court using our high-tech & high-touch approach to amicable divorce. Wevorce's software supported process connects families with Wevorce certified mediators across the country. We help mitigate the mental anguish and financial burden of divorce all at a fraction of the costs of a traditional divorce.
Wevorce is much more than paperwork. The company also helps clients through the emotional and financial issues involved.
Our step-by-step approach guides families through every decision they will need to make to reach a divorce settlement. We have developed 18 divorce archetypes that allow us to predict and customize, with 97% accuracy, the steps each family will need to take and how much it will costs right from the beginning.
As families work through their Wevorce they work online to complete exercises at home to prepare for their in-office meetings with Wevorce Mediators that have a background in family law, counseling or finance. Our software captures all the families information and the agreements they make along the way so it can populate their final divorce documents. Our software and proactive approach saves 60% of an attorney's time since it automates the mountain of paperwork that is generally associated with divorce.
Our philosophy is that divorce is not a legal problem, it just has legal implications.
When you treat divorce like a legal problem there is fighting, expensive legal bills and years of your life wasted moving through the court system. When you Wevorce you fight less, co-parent more, save time and money.
A typical divorce starts with a lawyer and a process server announcing to a spouse "you've been served" —you then have 20 days to respond. This system is archaic, barbaric & destroys families. Imagine if we started our marriages this way. It would be horrible.
Wevorce's approach helps families untie the knot with as much respect and dignity as they did when they started their marriage, because, even though you are letting go of your roles of husband and wife, you will always be mom & dad.
It's a hybrid. We've created a marketplace to connect divorcing families with our specially-trained mediators to facilitate our process in-person and online. This enables the personal touch families need during this process. But we couldn't scale it without our cloud-based software and education tools, which allow the families to do much more of the work themselves.
On average we're 1/3 the price of a two-attorney divorce and often less than the price of unstructured mediation. Compared to both, we provide much more value to the families in the form of education, tools and sustainable parenting plans. Instead of working with just one, legally-focused professional, families also get the help of parenting and financial experts.
Gross margin ranges from 30% to 40% depending on the product and location. There have been other experiments in our space that tried and failed because they cost too much or didn't allow practitioners to earn a good wage. Our technology-meets-humanity approach fixes that.
It depends on the unique needs of the family.
We are high-tech so we can be high-touch. This means we use technology to streamline the process so we can add more services and give families the extra support they need for a lower cost.
Some families choose to go through the entire process online, including meeting via videoconferencing. Others do about 50% of the process online and the rest in one of our local offices.
It wouldn't be possible without our back-end technology. It's counterintuitive, but the technology actually enables us to infuse more touch into the experience. Our system frees the mediators to put all of their energy into understanding client issues, not shuffling papers. The systemized approach also eliminates the need for support staff which results in very high revenue-per-employee.
The U.S. spends $30 billion per year on divorce legal fees alone. That's just a fraction of the total cost of divorce when you include moving expenses, counseling services, etc. Eventually we'll help our clients solve the many challenges that surround this transition.
We have built software around our proprietary approach to amicable divorce and we have copyright and trademark protection. In addition, we're building one of the largest storehouses of divorce data anywhere. The insights we gather are then integrated into our process. It's a valuable head start.
Our mediators ("Divorce Architects") like Wevorce because our platform makes their practice both more efficient, and profitable while allowing them to do the kind of work they really want to do. Attorneys make more money hourly with Wevorce than with their existing practice because we automate paperwork and admin tasks that take lots of their time. With these tasks out of the way, they can focus 100% of their time on the actual mediation which is most profitable for them. Mediators collect their money upfront, the website lays out all the steps, and our efficient online platform eliminates time consuming paperwork and client on-boarding. Also, if lawyers bring the client to us, we pay them more.
So far we've paid nothing to acquire mediators - public speaking events and the press have done the work for us. Right now we have 450+ mediators in the pipeline hoping to work for Wevorce, while more apply every day. We're scheduled to speak at several Bar Association events in the coming months and Michelle was just named a 2014 "Legal Rebel" by the American Bar Association — a magazine that every attorney reads. Mediator acquisition has been easy for us, and we don't expect a slow down anytime soon.
In fact, we have a waiting list of professionals in every city we've rolled out in. In many ways, we've created a new career track for the thousands of would-be attorneys who come out of law school with no desire to follow the traditional law firm career track.
Every mediator goes through a three-part screening process. After reaching out to us, we do an initial meet-and-greet over the phone to ensure our philosophies are aligned. Then we'll do our due diligence; we examine their resume, call references, conduct a background check, look at the office where they'll be meeting families, and administer a short questionnaire about why they'd like to work with Wevorce. Each mediator goes through a thorough training program and must pass a technology test to ensure they're comfortable with our platform.
Because our Divorce Architects are all highly educated, highly trained professionals, their self-management capabilities are exceptional. And when we give these talented people access to our custom management software, it helps them work even more effectively.
All of our clients are Wevorce clients. We then hire the Wevorce mediators as Independent Contractors to work with our families for the in-office portions of their Wevorce.
It's a diffuse market, with different types of attorneys, mediators and even "divorce coaches" servicing it to varying degrees. In one sense, these are all competitors, but none of them are trying to achieve what we are: an online-meets-offline solution for amicable, affordable divorce.
Families face many challenges beyond divorce documents — and we can be there to help. When a couple makes the decision to sell the house they'll need a real estate agent to handle the sale. When couples separate, new insurance plans are necessary for both husband and wife. Divorce leaves family members without certain necessities. Eventually Wevorce will fill these gaps by sourcing professionals already familiar with the family dynamic and finances.
We're already reaching out to both real estate agents and insurance brokers to join the Wevorce marketplace.
Several things. First is the challenge of expanding quickly while maintaining a high quality experience for the families we serve. We consider it an honor to work with our clients and we take our commitment to them seriously. Still, we drive to grow quickly. Every day that a child is torn apart by the existing divorce machine is one day too many. Contrary to popular belief, the most damaging part of this experience for kids is not the divorce itself, but how their parents handle the process. We lose a lot of sleeping worrying about that.
Wevorce is not just a business, it's a movement.
Our vision is to turn every divorce amicable and therefore improve lives-for thousands of kids and their parents. This means only people who require the protections of the court system will hire attorneys and go to battle. The rest will choose Wevorce.
With someone getting divorced every 13 seconds in this country, we intend to do well by doing good.
We're finding them and they're finding us! Everyone recognizes that the existing divorce process is broken and couples are looking for better options. Wevorce is the solution.
We're accomplishing this by building a strong professional referral network in the cities where we have physical locations. Content marketing (we're bloggers on both the Huffington Post and our own blog, weLife) SEO, public relations, and targeted SEM are big contributors.
We conduct a survey at three points throughout the process: 30, 60, and 90 days after documents are finalized. 30 days after the Wevorce process our average score is 8.5/10. That number only rises as the sour taste of separation wears off and they reflect on how helpful we were. Just recently we've started gathering testimonials and more in-depth feedback to better our platform.
We've worked with over 400+ husbands, wives, and kids. We've kept all but 1 family out of court.
Right now, we have over 460 inbound inquiries from divorce professionals and over 930 inquiries from potential customers in our pipeline. We have worked with families in 10 states and are scaling to all 50 states.

I love how she's like... Haha, you can't see this outfit. Watch the show, bitches.
All of Blair's and Clemence's outfits here are PERFECT! *applause for the stylists* Blake looks good (as usual) but she looks good IN SPITE of the blue pants, not BECAUSE of them. Pants that are shaped like these are not flattering to anyone. The green dress is not bad. I like that the striped shirt reminds me of the original Newly Returned Good Girl Serena in the pilot episode.

BUCKEYE LAKE - Two people were flown to a Columbus hospital Friday evening after two boats collided on Buckeye Lake.
The boats crashed near the east end of the lake, just outside the Cranberry Marsh no-wake zone. The capsized boat was upside down in the water and almost completely submerged. Only a small portion of it could be seen from shore.
One of the boats capsized in the crash, ejecting both passengers, said Mike Shelton, chief of external affairs for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The two were flown to Grant Medical Center with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, Shelton said.
The two male passengers in the other boat were not injured. Their boat was damaged and was towed to shore, Shelton said.
The crash was reported to the Licking County 911 Center at 5:28 p.m.
The ODNR Division of Watercraft was on the scene investigating the crash. The cause of the crash and the identities of the people involved were unavailable late Friday.
Licking Township, Buckeye Lake, Hebron and Millersport fire departments also responded to the scene.

So, the other thread got me thinking about trying to get my Motorola Bravo on my Straight Talk plan as I like it better. I've been using it with my home WiFi for browsing online but I'm having a problem with the browser. I open the internet (Dunno if it's IE or not, it's at home) and if I try to use the Bookmarks or History it gives me an error and forces a close. I can't come up with the right search terms to find a fix for this, anyone have any ideas? I can't figure out how to upgrade the browser either, in case that is the problem. Help! :confused:

The Amalfi coastal towns have a long history of tourism and were a popular destination amongst British aristocrats in the 1920s and 1930s. The sights really are breathtaking. There are 13 small picturesque towns to discover showcasing the best of quaint Italian life. The main town is called Amalfi and this is where the coast got its name from. It was actually the first of the Italian maritime republics (the most famous being Venice) which gives the town a unique and long history. It also had a monopoly on trade with the East so it also has an extremely international history. Other notable towns on the Amalfi coast are Atrani and Furore. Atrani is a natural amphitheatre on the sea and has the some of the best views of the area. This gives visitors a great chance to get off the off the tourist trail. Furore is particularly beautiful and is known as the painted village because of the amazing murals painted on the side of white washed walls.
If you are looking to travel to an iconic Mediterranean destination and to experience the warmth of an Italian community, then Amalfi is a great destination for you. Here you will find traditional food,
traditional drinks and a traditional atmosphere. For those really enthusiastic about stepping back in time, you can even arrive on a traditional ship, the Royal Clipper. It is a breathtaking destination which is difficult to do justice to either in words or on photos. Amalfi is a particularly apt choice for couples and culture and history lovers.
Get in touch with our experts today to find out more about your cruise to Amalfi!

Hang Ups: 10 Magnetic Key Holders for Easy Organization
This past Christmas I gave a magnetic key holder (#3 above) to my husband which was really a gift to our home, so it was really a gift half to me. Instead of our key dish which had at some point become overrun with spare keys to my sister's, my neighbor's, and several sets of "mystery keys", we now each hang up our keys when we arrive home and it saves us the aggravation of fishing through a bunch of keys as we're dashing out the door.

Julia's Cure: The Entryway Do-over
Liveblogging the January Cure 2014
Since a picture of our entryway was the image I used to kick off my January Cure, I had big plans for the makeover. Plans including thrift store scouting, painting, and DIYing. The Container Store was involved. But Mother Nature had other plans. Turns out that thrifting in a polar vortex is not a hoot. So I moved to Plan B (ok, it was more like Plan D) and the result is a resounding... not too bad.
Alison's Cure: My Loveless Landing Strip
Liveblogging the January Cure 2014
Our "landing strip" has been functioning just fine for some time now. Coat rack, check. Pens, mail holder, check. But… is it just me, or does the sight of your entryway get tired faster than every other place in the house? Perhaps it's time for a little re-vamp? Click through to see what, exactly, I've got in mind.
Elisabeth's Cure: Mudroom Mayhem
Liveblogging the January Cure 2014
Never did I think the word "mudroom" would be uttered in reference to my own home. A long time apartment veteran, I was used to putting my hat, coat, and shoes on a table, chair, and under the bed, respectively. That all changed when we found our house.

Man fought off intruder during home invasion
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- A homeowner is in the hospital after being attacked during a home invasion. Sgt. CB Shivers with The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the incident occurred around 2 a.m. Thursday morning in the 2500 block of Post Street in Riverside.
First Coast News talked to the neighbor who called 911. Willie Johnson said he just got home from work when he heard a man knocking on his neighbor's door. Johnson identified his neighbor as 63-year-old Henry Scott. He said the suspect asked Scott to use his restroom and Scott let him in. Johnson said he then heard screaming coming from next door and he called 911.

Beginner strains and low odor varieties | Marijuana Growing
Marijuana Growing
Indoor Marijuana Growing
Grow FAQ
Im lookin for a strain that will do well in a closet (3'x3'x5'=LxWxH) and stink as little as possible or at least produce a non cannabis maybe floral, friuty, sweet kind of smell. Any ideas anyone.
Ya know smokey ya forgot to mention the Celtic Stone line of seeds. CS is very easy to grow, is an indica dominant strain, has negotiable odor, high yeilds, very resisitant to disease, mold, and insects and recovers really well while experimenting or in your case King, learning.
Greenery is Alwayz Krispy!
What do you mean by negotiable odor? What does it smell like? I have a large window in my room, would a fan blowing air out of my closet toward the window or a fan in the window blowing fresh air in help cut down on odor in the house?
I know i got 4 strains goin.....but 2 are CS strains (CB and BS) and you CAN SMELL them....when i move them for pics or feedings...the whole house smells BIG TIME...and I keep the plants in my room...and I smell it through the house!
The More You Cough......The More You Get Off
What about blueberry, doesnt that smell like blueberries or some fruity, sweet type shit other than stankin ass weed?
northern lights speacial from kc brains the ones i got don't realy smell like pot more like a marigold
check this out
How dependable are those carbon scrubbers? Do they completely nuetralize the smell or just stop it from getting around the entire room or house?
Yea, Northern lights is about as low odour as you can get.
Celtic Stone although a great plant, does stink.
I had mine up to their 3rd week in flower, and it stunk the house out.
Carbon filters, do just that they filter the odour. They can play up in high humidity areas.
I used to use ozone and it KILLS the smell. but if used wrong, can make a smell of its own.
kali mist by serious seeds is real low odor

A new edition of "Broadway Unplugged" is scheduled for Monday, December 3 at 8pm, and the event has announced a list of great Broadway performers who will be taking part. Cheyenne Jackson (The Performers), Laura Osnes (soon to be Broadway's own Cinderella), Andy Karl (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), Julia Murney (Falling), Orfeh (Legally Blonde), Natalie Toro, William Michals, Jeffry Denman, and Bill Daugherty are currently on the roster. More names are expected to be announced soon.
A New York City theater tradition, "Broadway Unplugged" is produced by Scott Siegel. What makes these concerts different than your average concert featuring Broadway talent is that this one harkens back to the early days of Broadway by having the singers perform without the aid of microphones. In addition to allowing the audience to better appreciate Broadway songs in their pure, un-amplified form, "Broadway Unplugged" also gives its stars a chance to show off their chops by filling the 1,500-seat Town Hall theater space with their voices.

Rhythm Announces Availability of Flow Advertising Platform for Tablet & Mobile
Mountain View, CA, Dec 12, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Rhythm, the leader in premium mobile video, today announced the availability of Flow, the advertising platform for premium tablet & mobile publishers who want to sell high-value brand advertising directly within elegant, engaging experiences.
Flow provides publishers' direct sales teams with control of the same immersive advertising placements and brand effectiveness engine available to Rhythm's direct sales team. Flow delivers better brand advertising and higher CPMs. "Content creators, owners, and publishers want to provide the best experience for their audiences and advertisers alike. We designed Flow with a sharp focus on elegant, immersive user experiences and more effective brand advertising to help publishers build real, significant tablet and mobile businesses," said Benjamin Dorr, VP of Corporate and Business Development for Rhythm.
Leading media properties such as Eonline from NBCUniversal, PrePlay, and the TV.com app from CBS Interactive have embraced Flow for generating higher tablet and mobile revenue through direct-sold, brand advertising. "We are using Flow for our new Eonline iPhone and Android apps because it provides unique ad placements integrated into our product and aligns our direct sales efforts with a mobile platform that enables premium, high value executions across video, rich media and display," said John Najarian, EVP and GM Digital Media and Business Development for NBCUniversal.
Flow provides access to the following premium advertising placements and more from its trafficking interface: Flow Interactive In-Stream placements allow fully customizable video overlays with more than 20 integrated interactivity options. Unlike other video ad units, Flow provides multiple branded interactivity hot spots seamlessly in-stream without changing the video player.
Flow Embedded Full Page placements allow for swipe-able, magazine-like experiences with MRAID and ORMMA rich media support. Unlike other full page ad units, the Embedded Full Page placement does not have to take over the screen and can exist seamlessly within content while intelligent caching helps balance the user experience.
Flow In-Banner Video placements have patent-pending adaptive bit-rate support along with completion rate measurement. Unlike other In-Banner Video units, Flow placements require no additional rich media fees and provide advertisers with the same measurement and interactivity of the Flow Interactive In-Stream placement.
Flow Interstitial Video placements allow publishers to use video in-between articles, photos, game levels, or at the start of an application with the same integrated interactivity options available In-Stream. Unlike other interstitial video units that generally run inside games, Rhythm designed its placement in coordination with premium publishers, and publishers can manage caching of the video based on their own consumer experience requirements.
Additionally, Flow natively supports the option for publishers to complement their direct sales efforts with a Rhythm premium sales partnership. Content creators and publishers can learn more about using Flow to deliver better brand advertising at

Why Great Audio Quality Is Essential for Your Teleconference
How often have you had a teleconference where—because of audio-related issues—you had difficulty in conducting an important meeting? Or in some cases, not even being able to make a clear connection at all? Curtiss Singleton, Director of Sales for the Americas at Revolabs, Inc., discusses conferencing solutions that not only provide unmatched audio quality, but ones that also "cut the cord"—giving you the freedom to move around the workspace.
Revolabs focuses on Audio Quality
Doug Green, Publisher of Telecom Reseller, speaks with JP Carney, President and CEO of Revolabs, about the company, the importance of audio quality in UC, the compatibility of their products with various UC platforms, and their acquisition by Yamaha after one year. They discuss how clear audio for teleconferencing is the core element of true collaboration.

On 5 July, KPMG and the four other organizations involved in rescuing the "Île aux Clowns" announced their plans for the organisation's future.
KPMG Luxembourg S.à r.l. presents its 2014 Transparency Report, as required by Article 73 of the Luxembourg Law of 18 December 2009 on the audit profession.
A company's externalities have, historically, had little or no impact on its cash flows or risk profile. For this reason, externalities have been largely excluded from the measurement of corporate value.
Sensing an opportunity with the transposition of the AIFMD into national law in July 2013, Luxembourg has had the foresight to build added-value into the legislation by introducing favourable measures for the establishment of fund raising vehicles.
The report takes into account industry data as stated in the 2015 annual reports of the CSSF and the BCL, as well as the ranking data published by the Luxemburger Wort.
The participation exemption is one of the most important features of the Luxembourg tax system. It provides a 100% exemption on dividends and capital gains which stem from equity investments. The brochure explains the rules in detail.
KPMG is pleased to present its updated sixth edition of the Luxembourg Regulated Investment Vehicles brochure, incorporating the recent changes in the legal and regulatory environment.
The AIFMD will have a significant re-shaping effect on the alternative investment fund industry in Europe and beyond.
We seek the facts and provide insights. KPMG Luxembourg organises thought leadership events relevant to the needs of our clients. Find out more about our Events & Seminars below. We are looking forward to meeting you.

IRS Posts Final Instructions for Form W-8BEN-E
The IRS released the Instructions for Form W-8BEN-E, Certificate of Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities). The IRS released the final version of Form W-8BEN-E in March 2014.
Form W-8BEN-E is intended to be completed exclusively by non-U.S. entities that certify their status as beneficial owners of income payments. Similar to Form W-8BEN, which was previously used by entities to certify foreign status, Form W-8BEN-E allows a payee or account holder to certify its entity status for chapter 3 purposes and its eligibility for any treaty benefits. The primary difference between the prior version of Form W-8BEN and the new Form W-8BEN-E is that Form W-8BEN-E also allows a payee or account holder to identify its FATCA status (under chapter 4) and make the requisite certifications relevant to that status. While Form W-8BEN-E may be used immediately, the IRS has indicated that the use of this form by non-U.S. entities claiming beneficial owner status does not become mandatory until 1 January 2015.
The Instructions for Form W-8BEN-E provide line-by-line details, as well as definitions of FATCA and chapter 3 terms. In addition to the line-by-line details, the instructions provide overview information regarding when payees or account holders may complete the form and when parts of the form are not required to be completed. Examples:
Lastly, the final instructions also offer specific guidance to foreign financial institutions (FFIs) in jurisdictions with Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs), disregarded entities, or branches completing the Form W-8BEN-E, including direction regarding the completion of Part II (Lines 11-13).
KPMG Observation
The industry had hoped that the form instructions would provide further assistance to entities filling out the form regarding which FATCA status they should select. Unfortunately, the instructions merely provide cross references to the Treasury Regulations when discussing the various FATCA entity classifications, as well as specific definitions within those classifications (e.g., the definition of "passive income"). Thus, the instructions provide less guidance than the face of the forms. It is unlikely that the persons completing the form will have ready access to the cross referenced rules and, if even they did, would not likely understand how to navigate through them. This, coupled with the fact that English is not likely to be the primary language for the majority of persons completing the form, is likely to result in substantial confusion for account holders, especially in the initial years.
On a positive note, the instructions do make clear that the person completing the form does not need to complete the FATCA classification boxes and certifications during the pre-existing obligation transition period, as well as for excludable non-financial payments and other payments that are excepted from the definition of a withholdable payment.

Updated Forms W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8IMY
The IRS has also posted updated versions of the following forms relating to withholding and reporting requirements, reflecting updated information relating to chapter 3 (withholding of tax on nonresident aliens and foreign corporations) and chapter 4 (the FATCA regime):
Of Note
The newly updated versions of these four forms include a note that a withholding agent can accept the prior version of the form (i.e., the 2006 version) through the end of 2014. This is an update to Treasury regulations which provide that the new forms must be used six months after the revision date (1 September for the Form W-BEN-E and W-8ECI and 1 November for the other two forms).
The IRS had informally stated that it would allow such treatment, and the updated forms apparently are intended to provide a greater degree of comfort for withholding agents and foreign financial institutions (FFIs). The language included in the notes on page one of each form makes clear that the 2006 version of the form obtained between now and the end 2014 will be valid for the normal validity period for purposes of chapter 3 and until the end of the transition period for purposes of chapter 4—i.e., 31 December 2014, for a "prima facia FFI" (relevant only for U.S. withholding agents and PFFIs operating under the FFI Agreement) and 30 June 2016, for all other entities.

Nike again is destroying another classic kicks, enough with the cheap VacTech BS, release them in the OG materials.
October 28, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 7
Penny Hardaway left a huge mark on Nike Basketball in the mid to late 1990s and at long last we get to revisit one of the last pairs he wore before ascending to the signature pantheon. This Nike Air Up '14 is based on the original 1994 colorway Penny wore in addition to a black/blue PE during his second pro season. These have been updated a bit with some of the double seams as seen at the eyestay having been removed from the alternating side panels. The smoother build is something akin to the Air Force Max 2013, and hopefully these two models' similarities extend into the Air Up coming up with some brand new colorways. Stick with Sneaker News for the latest and let us know if you'll be copping these when they drop on January 18th.

WILSALL — Between the Crazy, Bridger and Absaroka mountains, the Shields Valley is one of the lesser-known scenic corners of Montana.
On the lonely stretch of highway south of White Sulphur Springs along Sixteenmile Creek, the town of Ringling holds on long after its glory days as a stop along two major railroads has ended. While buildings such as the crumbling depot offer a glimpse of the past, the Ringling Bar remains a mecca for area ranchers.
To the south, Wilsall and Clyde Park are natural launching points for exploration of the gorgeous Shields River, named for the blacksmith of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Will and Sally Jordan are honored with the town name of Wilsall, thanks to Wills father Walter Jordan, who platted the town as a railroad terminus. Area ranchers John Ringling of the circus family inspired his namesake. Clyde Park was named for Clydesdale horses, imported from England and raised on the ranch where the town began.
Pass through the valley en route to Livingston, Yellowstone National Park or Chico Hot Springs, or make the scenic area a destination all its own.
SHOP: The Wilsall General Store (established years ago) has locally produced food, books, movies and a beer cave with area micro-brews and big-label beer on Clark Street. Western Drug & Gift is downtown Clyde Park.
COWBOY UP: The Wilsall Ranch Rodeo is Aug. 18, and begins with breakfast with the cowboys. Activities include clinics and wild cow milking.
CELEBRATE: The 38th annual Clyde Parks Old Settlers Days is Aug. 24-25, with a parade, a dance and vendors.
EAT: The Clyde Park Tavern & Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Ringling Bar, open Wednesday through Sunday, puts on a good spread and celebrated a year in business this summer. In Wilsall, try lunch or dinner at the Wilsall Bar & Cafe.
DRINK: The Bank Bar was once a bank and is now a bar in Wilsall. Locals gather outside to watch the world go by. The former post office is now the Old P.O. Liquor Store.
SIP: The Drinking Horse has espresso, tea and Italian sodas in Clyde Park.
DONT MISS: Wilsall artist Gary Kerby sculpted a bronze ode to mountain men, which overlooks the Shields Valley just north of Wilsall, near the intersection of U.S. Highway 89 with Montana Highway 86, which goes to Bozeman via the Bridger Valley. His murals are on the side of the mercantile and in the Bank Bar.
LEARN: The Crazy Little Museum in Wilsall, dubbed the former Norwegian embassy, is a one-room log cabin with historic photos of the town.
GO PREHISTORIC: In the Anzick Site near Wilsall, some of the oldest human evidence found in Montana included rock knifes, weapon tips and artifacts smeared with red ochre and the oldest human remains found in North America, dating from 11,040 years ago. The best place to learn about the finds is in Livingston, at the downtown Natural History Exhibit Hall.
LISTEN: The Ringling 5, made up of seven local musicians, combine cowboy music and rural humor with songs like Sheep Dog Rap, Wilsall Song and Dont Screw with Montana. Sing along toWe ride from the Shields River Valley ... our ancestors came here from Norway to farm in the rocks and the mud and order a CD at ringling5.com.
OR: For an outsiders perspective, take a listen to Jimmy Buffetts Ringling, Ringling, with lyrics like: Streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down/ Its a dyin little town.
READ: Ivan Doigs 1979 book, This House of Sky, is his memoir of growing up in the area.
STAY: Sleep in a bunkhouse, tent or tepee at Fort Wilsall. Reservation information is available at fortwilsall.com.
FISH: The primitive Shields River Campground can be a base for fishing for whitefish or cutthroat trout. Take Shields River Road to northeast 24 miles from Wilsall. The valley has many finishing accesses near the highway, too.
HIKE: Two tough hikes into the Crazy Mountains near Clyde Park follow Trespass Trail (15 miles roundtrip) and Cottonwood Lake Trail (10.5 miles roundtrip).
DRIVE: Take U.S. Highway 89 south for 22 miles from White Sulphur Springs to reach Ringling. From Ringling, travel 22 miles south to Wilsall and another eight miles to Clyde Park, which is 149 miles from Great Falls. Returning through Livingston, Bozeman and the Bridger Valley makes a nice loop.

During 2010 we introduced Epics to the ALM Ranger "Ruck" process model to define the value proposition, elevator pitch and the team collaboration story. In essence it is an intent container for product backlog items and associated tasks.
As part of the continuous 24x7 dog-fooding of Ruck and the Team Foundation Service the "Epic" became a first-class citizen of backlogs, queries, documentation and even the CodePlex projects housing the final deliverables as shown.
Essentially we simulated an Epic – User Story | PBI – Task relationship by prefixing PBI's with Epic and creating queries that look for the string within the WI title. Not a very elegant or fool-proof solution, but it has served us well over the past few months.
Part of our dog-fooding mantra is to (1) share feedback transparently, (2) constantly bombard the product teams with candid feedback, (3) embrace new features as they emerge. We (4) refine out ecosystem, guidance and dog-fooding objectives, (5) adapt Ruck as used by one or more Ranger project teams and (7) analyse the impact. If productivity and quality is improved, we assimilate the features our Ruck process.
To cut a long story short, we have just entered step (4) again and are embracing Agile Portfolio Management and features as outlined in one of Brian Harry's latest Visual Studio 2013 post and the TechED 2013 demo with Brian Keller. PS: Read the Excuse me sir, your cow is stuck in the mud post one as well while you are at it
The plan is to use the Feature in place of an Epic, allowing us to drop the usage of explicit title prefixes and custom queries.
With Epics, the Product Owner (PO) used to set the state to Approved when happy for the team to proceed and the team would set to committed when embracing the Epics.
With Features, the Product Owner sets the state to In Progress when happy for the team to proceed and the team creates child User Stories/PBIs set them to committed when embracing the Features.
Watch the space for feedback on our dog-fooding evaluation and the teams getting to grips with the new work item type, states and visualisations.

I hate you

I hate you
Why I probably hate you.
I've been here in SD for about one year. It's been long enough to agree with my first impressions of this place, which were negative, but offset by my rising property value, weather, fish tacos, a decent local video store, the ability to wear flip flops in Dec, and alcohol.
The positives are still there, but you San Diego people continue to irritate me, and there is a very high chance that I hate you.
Why do I probably hate you?
Let's start with what you drive. During my long commute each morning and afternoon I believe that about one out of three vehicles on the road is an SUV or oversized truck. Obviously, if you drive one of these, you are evil and I hate you.
Since you drive a SUV, you use more gas, which supports tyranny and theocracy of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, UAE (because you are from SD, you probably don't know what or where that is, but I don't want to teach you anything, I want to bitch at you). Because you drive these monster cars, you also may be making the world unsafe for our grandchildren, by producing more greenhouse gases, and you obviously do not care. Nor do you care about the fact that the bumper of your monster truck is raised up to skull crushing level, should you ever run into my child's car seat. I therefore hate 1/3 of San Diego, by my rough poll, because based on what you drive, you are evil. I reserve special hatred for hummer drivers: you are going straight to hell.
High culture. San Diego has almost none. I met one person, other than myself, who has been to a cultural event more significant than a movie or rock concert. That person was from Boston. The only art museum worth driving to is in LA, it's called the Getty, and it's only worth going to for the views. Next to East Coast museums it contains random cast offs. The art galleries that dot places like La Jolla must sell the unsightly to the unwitting.
There is little literature. There are a few readers, and many watchers of every banal TV show created. People in San Diego are those for whom TV advertisements are designed, like SUV commercials. For those who's last true cultural event, play, museum, symphony was never, I hate you. For those who's last great book was along the lines of 'Wind in the Willows,' (or even, shudder, Dr. Seuss) I have pity for you. I have met exactly no-one who considers literature as an important part of their life. Spookier, very few people have a similar replacement for an internal, personal, cultural and intellectual life. And no, TV doesn't count for that.
Beach 'culture.' This is an odd sort of culture, in that it is almost illiterate, but I suppose illiterate cultures do exist. This culture seems to exist primarily to sell plastic things to tourists, who confuse San Diego's beaches and their 40 degree waters with the great beaches in tropical locales. The beaches also serve as a social structure for addicts of various types, and any stroll on the beaches is likely to turn up as many alcoholics, addicts, and insane homeless people as seashells. To the guy who broke into my car at PB: I really hate you. If I could find you, I'd start by breaking your ankles, then, when you're not going anywhere, I'd teach you to be nice. Another secondary purpose of the beach seems to drive up home prices to ever more silly levels. A glimpse of blue means many tens of thousands of dollars for those lucky 70 year olds and their families. What 'beach culture' does not mean is anything productive whatsoever.
People who are part of the San Diego beach culture, I hate you. Stop taking yourself seriously; beach culture is mostly sloth and wasted human potential with some criminal accomplishments and tourist traps, nothing more.
Furthermore, the people out here have the delusion that SD is the most perfect place to live. Any words to the contrary are followed by, "But this is the most perfect place, isn't it nice out?" Are you all on Soma? Your eternal happiness: I hate it.
Work. San Diegans crowd the highways from 7:30 to 10 AM. I'm sure they're off to work. Most seem to work in real estate. I don't. I did come out here for a job, which I thought would be challenging, fun, and would bring me to a lovely part of the world and which I'm happily leaving. I'm going to make almost 50% more on the East coast on salary level, but I'll probably do even better with bonuses and options. Why are San Diegans' so cheap? Taking a salary hit so you can rent an apartment in PB and surf every day? I don't know. I just hate you for being cheap.
To the guys over at Salk: I don't hate you, I want a cure for the diseases I'll eventually get. So keep it up. I wish you could get to work faster though. Like most people who live in San Diego, it's highly unlikely that you're actually from San Diego. (Especially if you're a brilliant researcher). The only people I like in SD are people who just moved from somewhere else, and confess to me that people here have nothing interesting to say. After about 5 years these expats go native and turn banal and throw out their books.
Where do you go over weekends? You go to malls, usually strip malls, where you buy shit, and may even rarely buy a mass consumption book and consume soulless coffee and sugar in mass quantities. I hate strip malls. The only people who go to malls should be old people.
I generally like old people, who actually suffered through their lives before SUVs and made the world a better place. San Diego contains more retirement homes than good bistros. Old people are everywhere in this city of sprawl and density. I see more medical supply stores than your revolting In&Out stands. And I do not hate the old people, unless they drive SUVs (rare, SUVs appear to be owned by fat white men and sometimes driven by their fat wives).
Sports: I hate paying taxes into this city who then allows a ridiculous football team to bend them over and fuck them while taking my money and any roids they can bring across the border. San Diego football, I hate you (and I have met exactly two Chargers fans, whom I obviously hate).
Which of course, leads to the government the San Diegans chose. Corruption vs. incompetence is the rule, as is re-election of all guilty parties, the general public neither cares nor has other options. They owe millions to a pension plan that they wanted to ignore and make go away, except it didn't. This appears to be the city government's general plan: ignore any problem and hope it goes away. It's worked so far for pollution (out to sea, over the border), traffic (I hate 5, 8, 805, 52 – no good public transportation, of course, because that was just a pretend promise), immigration (Sponge Bob is less porous than our borders), and lack of attention to schools, which rank low (want your kid to learn how to play a musical instrument: pony up some cash). San Diego government big wigs who are corrupt, incompetent, and lazy, I hate you.
The mayor just quit, which speaks volumes about the character of the people out here: the going gets tough, the San Diegan retires (to their million dollar house they got for 2000 bucks in 1980). The next person in line for mayor is a guy who is fighting a federal corruption charge, and who may go to jail while mayor. The person who really won the last election is part of the beach 'culture,' and speaks about as slowly as someone with Parkinson's after three Xanax and five joints. Her vocabulary and apparent intelligence is on par with the best public education San Diego provides. She appears to have been part of SD's beach 'culture' long enough to have a case of skin leather that could block anything N. Korea could throw at us. Seriously, could the military people take a look at Fry's face? She may provide materials that could make America's missile defense unnecessary. All these people and who-ever I'm not mentioning: just go away like the mayor did. Please. You're from San Diego, you know you have it in you to quit. Please do so tomorrow. You are all so shitty and worthless that you're not worth hating.
Overall you might think I'm filled with hate. But that's not true. I just hate San Diego. And most of the people who live here.
I'm leaving. Goodbye.
