On cheating, doping and whistleblowing
We study the role of whistleblowing in the following inspection game. Two agents who compete for a prize can either behave legally or illegally. After the competition, a controller investigates the agents' behavior. This inspection game has a unique Bayesian equilibrium in mixed strategies. We then add a whistleblowing stage, where the controller asks the loser to blow the whistle. We show that our whistleblowing mechanism reduces the frequencies of cheating, is less costly in terms of test frequencies, and leads to a strict Pareto-improvement if punishments for cheating are sufficiently large.

"The Parrett Group was amazing to deal with.

Anyone buying or selling a home in The Parrett Group's territory that uses another agent is wasting their time and money."

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen is used to gracing the Premier League's grandest stadia, having established himself as a regular at White Hart Lane.
But the Denmark international swapped N17 for the more modest surroundings of Crawley Town's Checkatrade Stadium last night.
The League Two outfit played host to play-off chasing Exeter City and Eriksen was spotted in the stands as the visitors secured a 2-1 victory thanks to second-half goals from Ollie Watkins and Jordan Moore-Taylor.
Eriksen even dropped by the Grecians' dressing room after the game and took a snap alongside midfielder Jack Stacey, who cheekily suggested the Spurs star had grown up supporting the Devon club.
Eriksen will be back among more familiar surroundings when Spurs face Everton on Sunday afternoon.
The north Londoners are unbeaten on home turf this season and have an opportunity to solidify their place in the top four with victory over Ronald Koeman's side.

This is the third year Phil has run such a lab at @Londonswf. Here's what last year's lucky Labbers had to say about it:
This really distilled for me where I am at as a writer and what I need to work on. I found it all encouraging and it motivated me to try and fix where I fall down.
Carol Cooper, Screenwriter
The lab was for me the highlight of the festival. It's given me renewed confidence in my script and my ability and it's introduced me to a group of great writers and lovely people.
Paddy Macrae, Screenwriter

A warning to those who read further: This is a sex scene, one that is remotely graphic. Those who do not wish to read, or those who are too young, please ignore the following update. I'd appreciate if we could be mature and appreciate this as more than soft porn kthnx.
"Are you sure?" I ask, because honestly, I'm more nervous than she is and I don't know how to cover it up – especially considering she's able to read my emotions on a constant basis.
She has her arms wrapped around my shoulders, one leg wrapped around my waist. Her lips are swollen from kisses, and the lower lip bleeds slightly, a result from my fangs biting into her. I feel guilty that I always accidentally hurt her when we fool around, but I think that secretly she likes the pain. I wouldn't be surprised by that. Her hair is in disarray, and mine probably is, too. She looks up at me, through heavily-lidded eyes and thick eyelashes, and there is no light in the blue orbs that lay beneath them – then again, there never is. She lost the light in them a long time ago. Her skin is paler than I've ever seen it, especially in the moonlight, and her bare shoulders protrude angrily out from the rest of her body.
We're both breathing heavily; our fear, our want, our feelings mingle with the puff of our breath, our foreheads together as we rest for a moment.
I breathe a little heavier waiting for her response.
I've messed around with other girls before Raven. It was never that hard for me. Sure, I'm green, but I'd like to say I'm not that bad-looking, and I do happen to be a superhero. I'm not a jerk, though, I'm not one of those tools that use their celebrity-status to bang a girl and then never call her again. In fact, I've never even had sex before, though I do have some crazy stories to boast to Cy about – one girl actually wanted me as a sea-otter; I had to walk out on that one.
I digress; I have been with a few ladies in my time, serial dating here and there, after Terra. They were all really nice, but I could never focus on one girl for a long period of time. Maybe it was the heartbreak over a certain blonde girl, maybe it was because of my short attention span, and maybe it was because they were all boring after a while. I used to have a thing with Raven when we were younger, y'know, a teenage crush, but it never went anywhere. I always thought it would be pointless to chase after a girl who didn't have any feelings at all, so I let it go. I just…retained a quiet attraction for her all this time. I can appreciate a girl being attractive without drooling all over her.
But, as I had learned recently, Raven was quite capable of feelings. She was quite capable of many things, actually.
Oh, shit, was she capable.
I don't know how we got into this situation, really. It was something that happened all on its own. Half of it was hormones, half of it was how large her breasts seemed to have swelled and her face seemed to thin out over the years, and half of it was because there was a spark of something left from my old crush on her. Raven has intrigued me for years; she's stone, she's ice, but there's something burning inside her that no one is ever able to fully understand. I'll admit I've always wanted to know what that something is. I still don't know. But when she pushed me up against the kitchen wall four months ago and started kissing me, I thought that I was starting to get a hint at what was going on beneath that stoic mask of hers.
We've never mentioned what we do to anyone. It's like after the moment is gone, it didn't even happen. We don't hang out, we don't cuddle, and we don't talk. We keep the same distance we always have forever. It's like a dirty secret – not exactly something we're ashamed of, but something that isn't important. Friends-with-benefits, I'm pretty sure it's called.
I tried asking her once, y'know, nonchalantly and all that, so that I wouldn't come off as desperate or anything, why she decided on me. I really hope she wasn't able to tell how curious I was, but in hindsight, she probably could taste it on me, and it's kind of embarrassing. Either way, she gave me that blank-slate face of hers and shrugged, said, "I doubt Robin or Cyborg would have wanted to," and continued walking to the training room.
So I stopped asking questions, because I was afraid of getting shot down like that again.
Now, I can feel my ears twitching in the silence. This is the first question I've asked in a while, after all the kisses, the torn shirts, the hands trailing up legs, the wet lips and claw marks. All that we've done, I could live with no-questions asked.
But as far as I am aware, she's a virgin, too. Despite her experience, her readiness to instigate, her seemingly out-of-know-where knowledge, I'm definitely sure she is.
She doesn't answer, just dips her head and kisses my neck, and I shut my eyes. With Raven, I can shut my eyes and enjoy the ride, I can see colors ripple behind my eyelids, I can feel something knotting up in my stomach and blooming around my insides, a spider-like hand creeping its way up and gripping my chest with all its might. I don't know if she feels the same way; I'm always too afraid to ask, if she feels the electricity when we touch, like I do. Maybe this is more than a friends-with-benefits thing for me, maybe I'm looking for too much out of this, maybe –
She nips my collarbone, hard, and I gasp, dragging my nails across her lower back violently enough to make her back arch. I love that, having the control to make her move like that. When I have stupid thoughts, like maybe having feelings for her under all the sexual energy, I let all my confusion out through our little get-togethers, and I can forget all about it. Usually.
She runs her hands up and down my arms, and works on a mean hickey that will take a week of wearing turtle-necks to hide; in response, I use my left hand to cup around the familiar shape of her right breast and squeeze gently, while the other hand unclips the back of her bra. We've messed around enough for me to understand how her underwear works, so there isn't any complication. She presses her chest against me and presses her lips against mine at the same time, cupping my face while I tug her bra off. Her skin always feels so cold.
Her fingers somehow flitter to the hem of my boxers, and my breathing hitches, like it always does. The room is hot, and the breeze from the open window whispers against my exposed face. She kisses down my chest, runs her tongue down my stomach, and circles my belly-button before stopping above my boxers. She looks up at me again, through those fucking gorgeous eyelashes, and smirks. Because she knows how badly I want her. Because she knows how much power she has over me. It's like she's feeding off this emotion, and all I can do is lie here and comply.
God, she's pretty. God, she's beautiful. God, I love her.
For a second, she recoils. It's almost like she could hear what I'm thinking, and I have a spasm of fear for a moment in my chest. I calm myself two seconds later; there's no way she could decipher it beneath all of this lust.
Then, she yanks down my boxers, and I'm exposed to her, but it's nothing new. This time, though, she runs her hand up my thigh, and I shiver as it passes all the way up my torso and behind my neck. I've been passing my hands up and down her body, as well, almost unconsciously. Finally, I finger the lace of her panties, the only thing separating the two of us now. I hesitate, my eyes searching hers for a sign to stop. Nothing but the same dead-eyed stare.
She sits up on me, the outline of her breasts jiggling in the dim-light of her room, and I pause. Her expression doesn't change.
"Garfield." Her voice is hoarse. There are four small, purple bruises forming on her neck and shoulder that I don't remember giving her. I raise and lower my eyebrows quickly, signaling her to continue her statement.
Slowly, deliberately, she lowers her lips to my ear.
"I'm sure. You were the one I was waiting for." Her voice is soft, a whisper, velvet around my body; with my sensitive hearing, it vibrates through my entire core, tingles down my spine.
She kisses me again, this time tenderly, not the aggressively passionate kisses we typically share. It's almost…sweet, almost as if there's something else behind it besides an urgency for sex.
I tear off her panties and grunt as she squeezes her thighs around my hips.
I can hear myself growling, low, in the back of my throat. My fingers dig deep into the flesh of her sides, definitely leaving marks, and she grips my shoulders for dear life, her lower body undulating wildly.
I look up into her eyes, and surprise jolts me.
There's a light in her eyes. An almost literal light, shining, high-lighting the golden flecks in her eyes I've never noticed until now. There's life in them. There's something, that something I think I've always been trying to figure out.
I'm the reason for that light.
She loves me too.
We've never said anything. We didn't mention it after. We haven't become an exclusive couple since then; our situation hasn't changed at all.
Except sometimes. Sometimes we hold eye-contact for longer than necessary. Sometimes we sit in the living room, not bothering with each other at all, just to be in the same space. Sometimes I leave tea for her in the morning, and she leaves a veggie-burger for me at night. Aside from that, we don't bother with each other any more than we have to, not counting our late-night endeavors. I don't think we'll ever actually talk about it; we're both too afraid to find out for sure, to say it out loud.
But I know that she loves me too.

Triple bill of family films. In 'Garfield - The Movie' (2004), Jim Davis's self-centered, lasagne-loving cat comes to the big screen. Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) and his pet cat Garfield (voiced by Bill Murray) live in harmony together - until Jon introduces a new member to the family: Odie the loveable pooch. Jon adores Odie, not least because having two pets means twice as many trips to visit the the vet, Dr Liz Wilson (Jennifer Love Hewitt), with whom he is totally besotted. But Garfield is less keen, and orchestrates a 'dognapping' that he hopes should get rid of his rival once and for all. In 'Cheaper By the Dozen' (2004), Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate Barker (Bonnie Hunt) are hardworking parents trying to juggle careers and a household amid the chaos of raising 12 kids. When Tom gets a job in Chicago, he moves the entire family but Kate then has her memoirs published and she has to go on a book tour. This creates many problems for the children of the Baker family, who react in various ways. Finally, in 'Mission Without Permission' (2003), 12-year-old Maddy (Kristen Stewart) is an incredibly skilled mountain climber, a talent that runs in the family: her father Tom (Sam Robards) was a mountaineer who scaled Everest. But since a bad fall, Tom is paralysed from the neck down. His only hope of recovery is a pioneering new operation that costs a quarter of a million dollars - and is not available on his health insurance. Determined to help her father, Maddy enlists the help of two friends, Gus (Max Thieriot) and Austin (Corbin Bleu), to plan the heist of a lifetime: to break into a high-tech bank vault suspended 100 feet above the ground.

Need a Web Scheduler that's got your back?
Climb out from under the piles of missed calls & voicemails and back to the front-lines of your business
The Right Cure for your Scheduling Pains:
Our philosophy is to give you space. With a web scheduler that works for you 24/7, you can keep the phone on the hook and focus on growing your business.
Try an appointment manager that organizes your day to day and gives you room in your schedule to be the best service provider for the clients that are with you right now.
Features Include
Unlimited Appointments, Clients & ServicesDon't let software hold you back when you have a busy month. Learn more
There's a certain amount of unnecessary anxiety when the scheduling software you use tells you that it's free for up to 100 appointments a month. With TimeTap's Web Scheduler, you don't need to worry about barriers that are essential to your businesses success.
You get unlimited appointments and clients every month so you don't have to worry that your success means your online booking system may be taken down until the next month.
Schedule 1-on-1s or Groups
Get people booked for your 1-on-1 meetings or your class or group sessions all from the same app. Keep track of which clients show up and which ones don't make it and get instant reports on attendance rates.
Track your business growth
With no cap on your appointments, you can always aim to do more each month. Grow your bottom line by beating your booking rates month over month. It's simple to setup and even easier to maintain!
Complete Appointment ManagementWake up every morning with your schedule already prepped Learn more
Paper based scheduling is a disjointed process. You take the client's phone call and write down on a calendar when they're coming in. You carry that calendar around with you so you can reference it at any time and then have to pull it out each night to send out email reminders.
TimeTap has combined all of these tasks into a total appointment management system. You'll feel the joy of booking after just a few days of fewer logistical headaches and feel less stressed that you're not doing enough to be available for your clients.
Offer comfort to your clients
Like you, your clients lead busy lives. They have kids to drop off at practice and work to finish before a deadline and nosey co-workers they don't want eavesdropping on their phone calls. By offering an online booking system, you're easing the burden of your clients' (sometimes overwhelmingly) busy lives.
Show Clients you care
Your clients want to meet with you and you want to meet with your clients, but neither of you want to spend 30 minutes setting the appointment time. That's at least how long it feels between emailing back & forth or playing phone tag to try and set a meeting date. Offering easy online booking shows your clients that you respect their time.
Don't underestimate the power of automated scheduling.Get a web scheduler on your site today! Start your 30 day free trial. No credit card required. Sign Up Free
Simple Client ManagementCapture all the information you need from clients & nothing more. Learn more
More clients means more business, but the more clients you have the more difficult it is to maintain that personalized relationship with each of them. With TimeTap's client tracking, it is easy to remember your clients' preferences even if you only see them once every few months.
You can add notes to your clients' profiles for general information about them and take notes on your individual appointments to track progress over time. You'll be the type of service provider that proves it's easy to grow your business while staying personable.
Custom Client Profiles
Customize your client profiles for your business by setting up your client fields so that they contain just the information you care to see. All the fields are controlled by you so you stay on top of the client details you need.
Public & Private Client Fields
Set up your client profiles so that they are prompted to fill out some of the fields while they are booking with you. The rest of the fields you can fill out after your appointment based on what you learned during your meeting.
Setup Repeating AppointmentsAdd standing appointments to your calendar in a snap! Learn more
Have a client that wants to have an appointment with you at a set time every week or month? Not a problem. It's easy to add appointments that repeat at regular intervals from the TimeTap app. You won't need to spend 30 minutes entering each appointment individually.
Just add a repeating appointment, set how long it is going to last for, and we'll take care of the rest. Your clients will get a summary of their appointment times and then an individual reminder before each scheduled booking.
No Email Clutter
We send out an email summary to clients of the appointment dates and times so they won't get frustrated with you for cluttering their inbox. Plus, they'll still get a reminder email before each scheduled date.
Less time spent scheduling
Entering standing appointments in one go reduces the time that scheduling takes in your daily work tasks. Don't create more work for yourself by having to enter all those meetings individually!
Flexible AvailabilityBecause your schedule is unique, just like everyone else's.
Learn more
TimeTap's web scheduler works with whatever hours you're open for appointments. Your hours of availability could be as plain-jane as 8 to 5 Monday to Friday or as complex as a different availability every hour.
Put breaks in your day wherever you need them (lunch, tea, meditation). Whatever time you work, choose a scheduling program that will accommodate it & not force you into the rigid working hours the software supports.
Adjust availability based on service
Each appointment time slot you have available will adjust automatically based on how long it takes for you to offer a service. This way your day can display with appointments of varying length, all in real time.
Different Availability for Each Staff
If your staff members work on different schedules, you can set up each of their availabilities separately. No business should have to operate on a one-size-fits-all schedule, and with TimeTap, you won't have to!
2-way Sync with your Favorite External CalendarUpdate all the calendars you use in one go. Learn more
Having to maintain two calendars is incredibly time consuming. You have to add all events to each calendar and if you can have a mild panic attach if you forget to update one of them & think you've been double booked. It doesn't need to be so frustrating to stay in sync between your two calendaring systems.
With TimeTap's 2-way Calendar Sync, your two main calendars will stay connected automatically so you don't have to think about it. Don't spend your precious time keeping your calendars updated! Let us handle that.
Sync Each Staff Separately
Each staff's calendar syncs separately so you can sync your business's calendars to separate accounts and then share them internally. This let's you easily distinguish between your staff both on your native calendar as well as TimeTap's calendar.
Choose your favorite program
TimeTap can sync with Google, Outlook, iCal, Office 365, Live Exchange or, if you're really crazy, a combination of all of them! Just select which program you want to sync with, enter your credentials, and your sync will run automatically.
Multiple LocationsCelebrate growing your business by easily adding new locations for appointments.
Learn more
Managing multiple online scheduling accounts for the different locations where you offer appointments can quickly turn into a logistical nightmare. That's why TimeTap lets you easily manage all the different locations where you offer appointments from one account.
Maybe you work out of two or three physical office spaces or maybe you offer appointments in-person as well as over the phone. Just plug in your different locations and set up what times you will be available where. We'll organize the rest.
Create Virtual or Physical Locations
If you meet with people over the phone or on Skype, you can quickly create virtual locations with specific directions on how to connect. Adding physical locations is easy too for whenever you want to meet in-person.
Direct Clients to Specific Locations
Do you service multiple territories and not want clients to get confused? We've got a solution for that. Just send clients the link to your location's scheduling landing page to give your clients a personalized booking experience.
Get Paid!Integrate your scheduler with payment processing. Learn more
Are you tired of keeping track of checks, cash, and credit card invoices in house? Do you wish there was an easier way for your clients to pay on time and for you to keep record of their payments? Look no further! With TimeTap payment integration you can keep track of payments real-time all in one place!
Just place your merchant ID into the TimeTap payment integration and a payment portal button will be created on the final page of your scheduler! It is that simple.
No more lost payments
Payment integration will allow you to keep track of who has fully paid, who has partially paid, and who still owes you all in one place. No more collection agencies, no more losing track of who owes you.
Multiple Payment Processors
TimeTap integrates with PayPal, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, Cayan and E-Xact for payment processing. You choose which provider has the best fees and services for your business and we'll handle connecting your scheduling system.

Scheduling for your entire StaffView & manage your different staff members' calendars from one account. Learn more
It'd be one thing to manage your schedule if you were just a one man shop, but when you've got a slew of other colleagues to consider...well that just sounds like a logistical nightmare. You shouldn't have to keep up with everyone's vacation dates and shifting schedules.
With our web scheduler, each of your staff can have separate logins so they can manage their own schedules. You'll still have full control, but the responsibility is on them to make sure their schedule stays up to date.
Choose different security levels
When setting up your staff, you can give them full access to all areas of your TimeTap account or you can limit their access so that they only see appointments that have been assigned to them & clients who they've worked with.
Add Office Assistants
Set up your receptionist or office assistant with access to help you manage your schedule. They'll be able to login and view your settings and availability, but won't have to accept appointments themselves.
Appointment Waiting ListsKeep your services and classes booked after cancellations.
Learn more
We understand. Things come up and your clients can't always make their appointments. However, you shouldn't have to lose money in the process. Take these opportunities back by offering interested clients the chance to join a waitlist when your time's been fully booked.
Your waitlist notifies your clients when other clients cancel appointments that free up timeslots on days they were interested in. Waitlist members can receive automated communication updating them on appointment availability.
No More Lost Opportunities
Your waitlist provides an opportunity to stay booked despite cancellations or limited capacity. Give your clients the option to book the appointments they want.
Automate Notifications
Spend less time calling waitlist members, trying to fill a cancelled appointment. Use our automated response settings to make sure your clients are updated on your appointment availability.
Multi-day Course or Seminar RegistrationLet clients schedule into courses that span multiple days or weeks! Learn more
If you offer certification programs or seminars that span multiple days, you need a solution to get clients registered for each day in one go. Enter Courses to the rescue!
With courses, you'll set up the different date ranges that you're offering the course and customize the different times. Clients will choose the date range and time that works best for them and book into each session at one time.
Allow Overlapping Courses
Set up a course to be offered on Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm and Monday and Wednesday at 10am and offer them concurrently. Clients will choose which option works best for them and register for that.
Assemble your roster
Manage your attendees list for your course set easily from one screen. Mark clients as checked in or completed for each course session and get a quick view as to how far along in the course they are!
Powerful Class SchedulingOffer group-based appointments for anywhere from 2 to 1000+ clients! Learn more
Every instructor knows how crappy it feels to show up unprepared and frazzled when you're leading a class. You already have a lot to put together. Let us handle sending out confirmations, reminders, building a roster, closing enrollment, and checking students in for you.
With all the details handled automatically, your mind will be freed up to focus on creating the best class possible for your students. Show up fresh and prepared for the group appointments you're leading and give all your students their money's (or time's) worth.
You decide the capacity
When setting up your class schedule, you can decide how many clients or students you want to allow to book (it can be just 2 or 200+). Once the max capacity is reached, you can close enrollment or increase the capacity if you've got room for more.
Easily track attendance
A class roster is automatically created for you as clients sign up for your class. You can print off this roster and bring it with you to the class session, or you can mark clients as checked in right from TimeTap as they walk in.
Automatic Email & Text Message NotificationsSend notifications, updates & reminders at the right time, every time. Learn more
When clients book an appointment with your business, they are much more likely to take you seriously and treat you like a professional establishment when you send confirmation emails. Without a confirmation email, clients feel like they're still up-in-the-air about whether or not their appointment is really booked.
TimeTap turns appointment booking and appointment confirmation emails into one smooth process. Clients receive confirmation emails immediately after booking and reminder emails to help get them to their appointments on time.
Over 15 Email & Text Templates
We send out emails or texts during every step of the appointment lifecycle. Put your brand on your messages and customize the templates to match the language of your business. You can also choose whether you want to edit the emails to certain clients before they're sent out.
Custom footers for each staff
Each staff member can customize the footer that goes in the emails their clients receive about their specific appointments. They can use this space to provide contact information or a bio about who they'll be meeting with.
Exportable List ViewsGet any list view into an editable Excel spreadsheet. Learn more
While all the automated online scheduling is great, sometimes you just need a good old hard copy of your schedule. With TimeTap, you can quickly export a spreadsheet of your appointments over any time period.
You can use these spreadsheets as a notes form to take with you through your daily appointments or as a way to provide feedback to your boss for all the great work you've done. Either way, it's easy to get appointment lists in a format that can be printed out or shared with important colleagues.
Get Client Mailing Lists Quickly
When the holiday season rolls around, you can quickly customize a report to get mailing labels with your clients address details. You can also get a quick spreadsheet of their email addresses if e-cards are more your style.
Create Custom Reports
Each time you export appointment or client data from TimeTap, you can choose which fields you'd like to include in your export. You can export appointment data over any time period to view info about your historical or future schedule.

Embed Schedulers anywherePut a scheduler on your website, Facebook, landing pages, & more! Learn more
Every business interacts with their clients differently. If most of your clients come to your business's website, then you can embed your scheduler on a landing page right on your website. If most of your clients interact with you through Facebook, then you can embed a scheduler on your Facebook page.
Placing your scheduler on different sites will increase your visibility to clients and make you even easier to book with. You can even include a "Book Now" button in your email signature!
Private Schedulers for Appointments
Every type of appointment you offer comes with its own private scheduler. If you are running a promotion on a specific service, you can embed your scheduler on that promotional landing page for more targeted booking
Add your Scheduler to Facebook
If you spend money advertising on Facebook, you'll want to invest in a solution that lets your clients do more when they "Like" your business. With TimeTap, it's easy to add a Book Now tab to your Facebook page.
Customizable booking formsGet the information your business needs right when your clients book. Learn more
Make TimeTap work for your business by creating booking forms that only collect the information you're interested in knowing about your clients. With each field on your form, you can set whether or not you want the client to fill it in upon booking or if you'd rather your staff fill it in when they come for their appointment.
You can apply your fields so that they are set for each appointment and update them each time the client books, or you can apply them to your clients if it is standard information that doesn't change.
Client Registration Customization
Allow clients to register for your scheduler and provide you with all the required information you need in order for them to be your client. Once their registered, they can login to your scheduler and view their appointment history.
Private and Public fields
Set fields on your booking for as either private or public to determine whether it's just something your staff can see and fill in or if it's something you want your client to provide upon booking their appointment.
Supports Multiple Time ZonesServicing clients internationally doesn't have to mean mental gymnastics. Learn more
If you're a service provider that meets with clients nationally or internationally, you already know the back & forth of confirming appointment times based on the timezone you're each in. We think you'll agree with our scientific conclusion: it totally sucks.
The good news is, we've solved the puzzle for you. You work in New York but your client's in San Francisco? No problem. You'll get the meeting notice in Eastern, he'll get it in Pacific, and everyone will get there on time.
Time Zones detected automatically
Adjustable timezones reduce client confusion on all of your appointments, but asking clients for their time zone while booking disrupts the scheduling process. That's why we automatically detect clients' timezones based on their browser settings.
Daylight savings time accounted for
As if time zones weren't confusing enough, try getting times right for appointments when daylight savings time comes into the mix. Some states and countries adhere to it, others don't. With TimeTap, you'll apply specific time zones to each client so it's always the right time.
Mobile Apps for iOS & AndroidHave your schedule available for booking from any device. Learn more
Keep your schedule with you wherever you go with iOS and Android apps that give you easy access to upcoming appointments and client details. Add appointments or block off time on your web scheduler from the TimeTap mobile app.
Life's busy and we're only at a computer to customize our schedule a fraction of the time. With a mobile ready scheduler, however, you don't have to tote your laptop with you everywhere.
Mobile-Ready Client Booking
The TimeTap web scheduler is responsive as well so clients can book from their mobile devices as they're making their morning commute. Just direct them to your dedicated scheduling page for easy booking.
Responsive Email Templates
All of the emails that go out from your account are sent in a mobile friendly format. That way, if your client checks her reminder email from her phone, she can actually read what's on there.

The Greatest City Ever Sold: If There's a Piece of Dallas You'd Like to Buy and Name, Speak Up
Hey, Margaret Hunt Hill, do fries come with that shake? Now where's my consulting fee at?
Photo illustration by Patrick Michels
Let's go back to City Manager Mary Suhm's budget Q&A memo for just a moment, because there was one Q that had me at A:
What is being done to generate revenue by marketing the City?
A Request for Proposal was advertised on May 12 and 19, 2011 seeking proposals from qualified marketing professionals to assist the City in the development and implementation of a marketing income program. The goal of the program is to generate additional income for the City through naming, sponsorship, advertisement, and marketing partnerships with private corporations. Proposals are due on June 8, 2011.
I had a question for Suhm about something else unrelated, but when I had her on the phone this afternoon I asked her about this specifically. And, yes, so happens the city is looking to see if it can get "sponsorships or branding arrangements with different vendors," she tells Unfair Park. And that could mean anything from selling naming rights to city-owned facilities to slapping ads on the sides of city vehicles.
Suhm explains:
Right now, for instance, Dr Pepper is the exclusive soft-drink vendor at Dallas City Hall -- a deal worth around $1 mil a year, according to a 2005 briefing on the subject of marketing income. Which made Suhm wonder: What other opportunities are out there for "naming rights, brand exclusives and ads on trucks"? For starters.

"When the economy is bad people don't have much interest, but there are some opportunities," she says. "In the next year we'll open the big soccer center [the Elm Fork Athletic Complex], and I think it'll have some real opportunities. But do you want to sell it to a brand or see if there's a donor who wants to attach a name to it? We've tried this before, but where is the market right now? Aside from a few things it wasn't the massive revenue generator some people might think it would be."
I asked: What about selling sponsorship patches on City Hall workers' suits, a la Morgan Spurlock and, before that, The Art Guys?
"I wouldn't mind wearing uniforms," Suhm says. "Depends what I'm advertising, but it's one less decision to make every day."

A perfect dictatorship is defined as an affirmative action where leaders jointly support a regime through widening the rule of succession for those seeking for presidency enhancing what is called a dictatorial regime. This regime ensures that they assign policy making authority to citizens especially in those areas they are competent in (Schedler, 2000). Designation often takes place through consultation other than open contestation or rather by way of preferred cooptation to oppression. This definition of perfect dictatorship is a clear symbol of Mexico political system. Having ruled for more several decades, PRI had made the people of Mexico suffer from civil wars which were between regional warlords and radical factions. The PRI rule is described by many scholars as civilian, comprehensive, corporatist and a dictatorial regime apprehended together by hegemonic state party. Under the rule of Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Mexico has been termed to experience what is called a perfect dictatorship.
According to Schedler (2000), as Election Day came closer, episodic evidence indicated that PRI was working tireless to win the election through illegitimate votes. The party came up with four strategies for exploiting materials for the purpose of election. These included bribing voters, threatening voters, coercing voters and courting voters. On courting voters, led by Zedillo (president), PRI asked people to reward the current government due to its social and economic positive performances. According to Schedler (2000), the president was seen to cut ribbons so as to advertise his achievements until the day of election. PRI continued to fraud the election process by way of bribing voter through the use of monetary exchange of about $6 to $500, offering of free goods and services such as taxi licenses, property titles and microcredit. In addition to bribing, PRI campaign team used threats to force citizens into taking part in their campaign missions. Public servants were made to deliver a list of presumptive voters requiring them to attend all campaign rallies. Finally, people were threatened that the government will stop issuing certain public services if they failed to vote in favor of PRI (Schedler, 2000).
Schedler (2000) asserts that, initially, the hegemonic party belonged to a species which was widespread in past and continually spread in the present. This resulted to constraint in civil liberties, limitation upon registration of parties and candidates' registration, election fraud where there was immense buying of votes and coercion and the ruling party was known to enjoy a monopoly when accessing media for campaigns. It is clear that the whole electoral process in Mexico during the rule of PRI was corrupt. The regime did not show any respect to electoral democracy (Schedler, 2000). This can be explain by the fact that since 1934, presidential elections were held through punctuating a dense calendar of regular legislative, municipal and gubernatorial elections so as to assume on democratic reforms that judged presidential systems. Electoral autocracies grew stronger and justified themselves by sporadic elections which indicated a measure of pluralism but denial of democratic standards.
It is evident that through the use of money and media, the ruling party enjoyed the privilege of doing away with democracy. Schedler (2000) asserts that, the media was used to mobilize people on behalf of ruling party hence it was able to play uneven game with other opposition parties. Even with the offer whereby parties shared 200 television hours and two hundred and fifty radio hours, local media retain biasness in favor of PRI whose coverage would increase as the Election Day approached. Statistics indicate that PRI received media coverage of 39.1%, Alliance for change 27.4% and Alliance for Mexico 19.9% both on regional and national radio and television broadcast.
It is evident that Mexican authoritarian regime begun as a rule by military leaders who constantly used force so in domestic violence. The entire political regime emerged as a result of action from top ranking solders. Revolution in Mexico began in 1910 after general Porfirio who was the president was overthrown. But the most powerful revolutionary took place when general Venustiano attempted to impose a successor for presidency. The revolutionary was been carried out by the various president who were top ranking officials in military (Schedler, 2000).
In conclusion, their preference of means made it easier for PRI to get hold of political information about the other opposition parties. It is clear that Mexican authoritarians widely institutionalized means for consultation thus fashioning policies which ensure that they gathered support in their favor. According to Schedler (2000), the ruling PRI managed these preferences of incumbents during election period with relative ease as compared to other parties. After a period of bad governance by PRI, the party decided to choose on its congressional leader who has promised to lead with a common goal of having a responsible opposition. On the other hand, the current ruling party PRD has shown its willingness to work with the opposition for the well being of the Mexican citizens. For the first time in Mexico history, the country enjoys the opportunity to become efficient in service delivery to its citizens.

Brentford 4 Rotherham United 2
There may not have been any Premiership football at the weekend but there was finishing of the highest quality at the new-look Griffin Park as Carl Asaba gave Brentford's best crowd of the season a performance to savour as they maintained their five-point lead in the Second Division.
After narrowly missing out on promotion to the First Division two seasons ago, Brentford are challenging again and are arguably much better prepared this time. Certainly in Asaba and Nicky Forster they have strikers who will make the step up comfortably, if Brentford can persuade them to stay.
Their stadium, too, is now ready for promotion since the opening of two new stands 10 days ago, and in David Webb they have a steady and loyal manager.
On Saturday they faced a spirited Rotherham side who took full advantage of uncertainty in a Brentford defence missing the injured and influential captain Jamie Bates. The Yorkshiremen might even have taken the lead themselves but for a smart save low down by Kevin Dearden from Trevor Berry.
But it was Asaba, who had looked a different class from the start, who opened the scoring. Moving into the penalty area to take Gus Hurdle's waist-high pass in his stride, he brought the ball under control and in the same movement delivered a powerful right-foot shot past Stephen Farrelly.
His second goal was equally impressive, shooting unerringly into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area when a foot to the right would have enabled Farrelly to make the save.
That put Brentford 3-1 up, Berry having equalised only for Bob Taylor to restore the lead just before half-time after more good service from the Barbadian full-back Hurdle.
Brentford's third might have knocked the stuffing out of Rotherham, but since Danny Bergara took over from Archie Gemmill last month the fortunes of the division's bottom club have taken a turn for the better. Their first victory of the season the previous Saturday had instilled some much- needed confidence, and Mark Druce scored his third goal in three games since his loan move from Oxford.
The outcome remained unresolved until five minutes from time when Forster, who had earlier drawn a spectacular save from Farrelly, finally put Brentford out of sight.
But there was no doubting the man of the match, who came off to rapturous applause a few minutes before the end, looking a touch miffed that he had lost the opportunity of his second hat-trick of the season. But the 23-year-old Asaba, who joined Brentford two years ago from non-League football, is now the country's leading scorer and his decision to give up a degree course in money, banking and finance at Middlesex University is looking a sound investment.
Goals: Asaba (24) 1-0; Berry (30) 1-1; Taylor (41) 2-1; Asaba (59) 3-1; Druce (62) 3-2; Forster (85) 4-2.

The letter, dated 14 May, sets a series of deadlines for companies to meet. The first is 16 June, when she expects the chief executives of the 28 worst-performing companies to provide a detailed policy statement. "I want a statement that clearly sets out the policy you have adopted (including the resources allocated) in order to complete the reviews, and better the PIA targets."
Thereafter, she requests regular monthly progress reports. These will show how quickly the companies are moving to meet new deadlines set down by the Securities and Investments Board, the overall industry regulator, on Tuesday.
The monthly updates will, she says, be published "in the spirit of open government". The "name and shame'' policy is seen as a further measure to kick- start the derailed compensation process, which has been dogged by delays since it was introduced 18 months ago.
The SIB has given each company a new deadline, which in the most delayed cases extends to the end of 1998.
Most companies have said they are happy with the new timetable. The introduction of so-called guarantees was seen as a crucial element to allow, as one participant said, "a more broad-brush approach to the problem".
But Mrs Liddell's get-tough measures may yet backfire. The meeting on Wednesday was attended by chief executives from companies such as the Prudential, Pearl Assurance, and Legal & General. Many were annoyed at what one source said was "a new junior minister, with no experience of the industry, talking down to a group of senior executives". Her antagonistic approach may work against her in the long term, he warned.
David Prosser, chief executive of Legal & General, did reply to Mrs Liddell's 20-minute talk. He is reported to have said the issue was not the money, which had already been reserved by the insurance companies, but how it should be distributed.
The pensions scandal has seen 446,000 individuals identified as priority cases.

China is denying mountaineers permission to climb its side of Mount Everest this spring, a move that reflects government concerns that Tibet activists may try to disrupt plans to carry the Olympic torch up the world's tallest peak.
The Everest restrictions were contained in a letter the Communist government's mountaineering association sent this week to expedition companies.
It comes as China's much-criticised rule of Tibet, which has long been an emotive issue, heats up and joins a slew of other issues pressure groups want the authorities to confront in the run-up to August's Beijing Olympics.
Chinese police fired tear gas on Tuesday to clear Buddhist monks protesting for a second day in Lhasa, Tibet's capital, the American-funded broadcaster Radio Free Asia reported. In a sign of growing concerns over Olympic security, Beijing announced yesterday that the ruling Communist Party's law-enforcement tsar was named on a three-man committee overseeing Olympic preparations.
Yang Jiechi, the Foreign Minister, also testily chastised critics attempting to use the Olympics to draw attention to human rights violations and other issues. Those who "want to tarnish the image of China", Mr Yang said, "will never get their way". With less than five months to go to the Games – and three weeks until the Olympic flame arrives in Beijing – events are taking on a harder political tone, and the criticism has put the government on the defensive at a time it hoped to be basking in praise.
Tibet was annexed by China 58 years ago, but with its resilient exile community, led by the Dalai Lama, the country has been a concern for Beijing Olympic security planners for months. In the past year, activists have unfurled banners at the Everest base camp and the Great Wall calling for Tibet's independence.
Bringing the Olympic flame to the 29,035ft peak is shaping up to be one of the grandest – and most politicised – feats of the Games. "Beijing is using the Olympics torch ceremony... to bolster its territorial claim over Tibet," said John Ackerly, of the Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet.
Beijing's vice-mayor, Liu Jingming, said: "The torch relay to Mount Everest is a highlight of the whole relay, and it also represents the idea of green Olympics, hi-tech Olympics and people's Olympics." Organisers have not released an exact date of the ascent, but preparations point to late April or early May.

Clinton Fall Festival -
Saturday/Sunday, September 24 & 25, 2016
Clinton Fall Festival is the biggest, best festival in Lenawee County. There are arts and crafts, food vendors, car and tractors on display. Plenty of outdoor music and lots of childrens events and animals. Don't forget the Sunday afternoon parade.
Come enjoy a train ride one of two ways. Come to the festival and ride the train to Tecumseh as a fun diversion. OR... drive to Tecumseh and take the train to the festival! This avoids all the parking hassles of a big festival in a little town. Most of the festival is within 3-4 blocks of our drop off point.
Some customers prefer to reserve in advance, and we have put up most of the available seats for those who do. You can also walk-up, space allowing.
This year, you book in the car you ride in - no switcheroos. The open-air car is refundable for weather - so if you want to reserve your seat and still cancel for weather - book there!
FARES: All seats all ages, round trip $11.50 (including ticket fees) - $10.00 walk-up.
Mobility limitations? Please see our Accessibility page.
Option 1. Ride from the Festival.
Visit the Festival and enjoy a train ride to Tecumseh as a fun part of your Festival.
However, you have to park. There's parking all over town for $5. If there's space in our lot, you park free with your advance ticket. Otherwise make sure to get a $5 voucher from the parking attendant!
DEPARTS: our Clinton Station at 320 S. Division Street.
TIMES: 10 am, 12 noon, 3 pm and 5 pm.
PARKING: In our lot or all around Clinton ($5 most places).
Reserve here. Look for "Clinton Fall Festival".
Tickets will appear on your credit card statement as Ticketbiscuit or Whistletix.
Option 2. Drive to Tecumseh. Take the train to the Festival.
Parking in Clinton can be a half mile from the event. Leave your car behind in Tecumseh! Park in lovely downtown Tecumseh (anywhere behind the shops) and ride our train to the Clinton Festival. You'll be in Clinton 45 minutes later. Enjoy the festival, then take the 3:00 or 5:00 train home at your leisure. Because the return trip isn't pre-booked, seating is open, and the train may leave early if it's full. Everyone will get home.
This train is very popular and we're offering more advance seats than ever. Remember to book the open-air car if you want the option to cancel for weather!
DEPARTS: Downtown Tecumseh. Board on the sidewalk between 112 N. Evans and M-50.
TIMES: 11 am or 1 pm.
DETOUR ROUTE: If you're driving to Tecumseh, don't let your GPS take you through Clinton - the road is blocked and the detour is congested. We recommend staying on US-23 to Dundee, then west on M-50 to Tecumseh, a fast straight road (unlike US-12!) Leave a little extra time to shop Downtown Tecumseh - it's right next to our train stop!
PARKING: Park behind any of the downtown businesses or on the street nearby.
Reserve here. Look for "Tecumseh to Clinton Fall Festival"
Tickets will appear on your credit card statement as Ticketbiscuit or Whistletix.
Option 3. Drive and don't ride.
Park in our Clinton passenger lot for $5.00 all day. If you ride the train that day, you get it back! Pay the attendent upon entering at Clark St. at Division, Clinton, and take your $5 off voucher. Space is first-come first-serve for everyone, and because of limited space we cannot guarantee space in advance or for our riders. There is parking all over Clinton.

FilterFull-time Part-time
free housing for employees which saves you money
they definitely do not pay you enough not even close
Advice to Management
treat you employees better, know their names
Helpful (5)
I have been working at Sovran Self Storage full-time (More than 3 years)
Give a ways at holidays, nice office, easy parking, really no other Pros to working here.
Bonus structure is at the whim of the managers and changes monthly without notification. Board members have sexual relations with call center supervisors, and promote through sexual/ family relationships. Instructed to lie to customers about the requirements of buying rental insurance. Trained to tell customers that it is a "law" they have to buy insurance. This in itself is illegal. Requires CCR's to lie to customers about their physical location, pretending to be at stores while all calls are directed to a call center in suburban Buffalo NY location.
Advice to Management
Value quality employees over uneducated family members. Don't lie about bonus structures. Stop lying about insurance requirements.
I worked at Sovran Self Storage (More than 8 years)
benefits are okay, paid vacations & holidays
the company use to care about the people but they got greedy now all that matters is the dollar
Advice to Management
listen and HEAR your long term store managers, don't assume what the area manager is saying is correct just because of their job title

I have been working at Sovran Self Storage full-time (More than a year)
Company is a good company to work for, Pay is okay, ability to move up in the company and Hours are okay
As an associate manager you don't count and you don't matter, area managers think that they are God, If you speak with HR they will contact the area manager to hear their side of the story and then go with that, and store manager get all the credit even though an associate may do all the work
Advice to Management
Hire better Area managers and listen to the employees that run the business everyday
Helpful (2)
It's a day job great for parents. A set schedule and lunch. It can be fun if you manage your time properly. If you have a manager that you get along with it can be heaven. But good communication is essential here.
God help you if you and your manager don't get along. Associate managers have no support whatsoever as far as you're concerned the manager is sovran. My area manager told me on my first day of training if I can solve a problem do so myself don't call him unless it's absolutely necessary. On a day to day my manager uses profanity and acts inappropriate at work. My training was terrible and confusing they basically handed me a book and said do you know it yet?
Advice to Management
Why are the managers not being evaluated on treating their associates fairly? Why are trainers being paid and put up in hotels if they can't thoroughly explain what's going on? Why do store managers schedule new employees alone in a store on high traffic days? It's really problematic.
Helpful (5)
I worked at Sovran Self Storage part-time (Less than a year)
Decent hours. Good vacation time
Very political.
I worked as an associate manager at one of the store locations and you have no rights whatsoever. Manager gets credit for everything while associates who did all the work get nothing. But when something goes inadvertently wrong, it is automatically the associate manager's fault. It is all about who likes you and not on the good work that you do. Good work does not get recognized and upper management and corporate will always side with the manager. Always....the associate is always wrong. Your bonus is dictated by how much they like you, not by the actual work you do...hence the manager usually takes 85% of the bonus in my experience.
To get ahead in the company one needs to be a suck up to upper management. If you don't do this you will get nowhere.
High turnover rate. I was hired during an acquisition and had at least 10 other new hires along with me to work at the stores. By the time I left I was the only new hire employee left as many of the individuals did the smart thing and quit or they didn't kiss up to upper management and got let go. Many people have come and gone during my year there and everyone has bad things to say about the work environment.
Manager would schedule associate manager by him/herself on high traffic days (usually at the beginning and end of each month)
Non competitive pay. Other storage companies pay much better.
I would never work for this company again and wouldn't want anyone I care about working here. Horrible corrupt people that take credit for everything, make the innocent person(s) look incompetent and the unhealthy work environment promotes animosity towards others. AVOID!
Advice to Management
Hire competent managers that encourage their associates to do better. With their current mentality I, including many others just stop caring after a while. Training should be better implemented with hands on experience rather than reading through a giant binder. Ive had questions and concerns about what to do on some occasions and my manager kept referring me to the training binder, rather than teaching me himself. That is not a good leader.
Have HR actually listen to the lowly associates as many instances have gone ignored due to our title.
I worked at Sovran Self Storage full-time (More than 5 years)
Self storage is a great industry.
When a small grows into a large company it can be very painful.
