Recommended Amsterdam hotels and hostels that offer good value

Onward with our series of recommended hotels and hostels, we concentrate on Amsterdam. Considering the tourist part of the city is small enough that you can literally walk from one end to the other in about 40 minutes, it's staggering to learn that Amsterdam has over 600 hotels and hostels from which to choose.

Some other cities, like London or Paris, are so big and spread out that wherever you stay you'll need to ride public transport to see most of the sights, but in Amsterdam as long as you stay in one of the key central locations you'll be able to walk it all if you like. There's a big difference between staying in a room that you'll pass by a couple times during the day and one that is on the far edge of town so remote that once you go back you don't want to go out again at night.

So location is key for our hotel and hostel choices below, but like in our other picks of recommended London hotels, recommended Paris hotels, and recommended New York hotels, we also find places that get excellent reviews and are also great value for their category.

Basically, these hotels and hostels all…

  • Are well located
  • Are very good value in their category
  • Receive among the best reviews in their category

We've spent many hours going through all the factors to choose the places we'd try to book on our own next trip.

2 Highly recommended Amsterdam hostels

Hostel The Globe

–Cheapest beds at a high-rated hostel–

58cb7c39-city-1334-559e2f81Hostel The Globe, which is part of Hotel The Globe, is a party-oriented hostel very near the Red Light District. The beds in its 20-bunk dorm are among the cheapest in all of Amsterdam, so this is great value considering this is also one of the city's highest rated hostels. There's a huge sports pub on the main floor, with a smoking area (cannabis included) that's open until 3am on weekdays and 5am on weekends.

The rooms here are mostly typical for Amsterdam, but the place is cleaner, better run, and with a much better location that anything else in its price category. Most hostels in this town get horrible reviews, or are very expensive, so Hostel The Globe is a great choice for having the best of both worlds at an appealing price.

Beds starting at €21

St. Christopher's Inn at The Winston

–Eclectic hostel/hotel with a perfect nightlife location–

amsterdam2Aside from the Hostel The Globe mentioned above, the St. Christopher's at the Winston is the only other highly-rated Amsterdam hostel with cheap beds available. This is part of a large chain of European hostels, all of which are dominated by a ground-floor bar called Belushi's. Each room is different, and it's kept clean as well as any hostel in the city.

The location along the Warmoesstraat pedestrian street in the heart of the non-sleazy part of the Red Light District could not be more central for the party crowd. The bar at this hostel has great drink specials plus a large patio where smoking is permitted until late, and it's also within 100 meters of many of the best coffeeshops and pubs in Amsterdam.

The rooms with fewer bunks here are more expensive, but still great value, and this place stays quite full all year round because of the fun atmosphere and professional service. There's good wi-fi on the ground-floor as well, plus a tasty breakfast buffet that's included with the bed price. If you have a group you might book a private room in the hotel section for even cheaper, as they have rooms with 1 bed all the way up to 6 in the private wing.

5 Highly recommended Amsterdam hotels

Note: Hotel “starting at” prices listed below were the cheapest I could find for each hotel, usually for a single room. It's likely your dates will show higher prices, especially for a double room, but this doesn't mean it's not a great deal. Please compare prices you are quoted to prices of similar hotels and you'll usually find that these are bargains.

Hotel La Boheme – 2*

–High-quality cheapie with a perfect location–

hotelsdotcom-530367-11475960_5_b-imageIf you are looking for a cheap room and you want to stay close to the nightlife then the Hotel La Boheme is the perfect choice. It's one of a few hotels just around the corner from the heart of the Leidseplein entertainment and restaurant district, so it's quiet but literally a few steps away from all the action and about 100 different restaurant choices.

The rooms here are fairly basic, as you'd expect for this price, and some of them are in the basement, which is also typical of Amsterdam hotels. The beds get high marks for being comfortable and the rooms aren't tiny like in some other places, but the service in particular gets rave reviews so most guests seem intent on booking again. The cheapest rooms are singles with a shared bathroom, so double en-suite rooms will be more.

Rooms starting at €40 per night, including breakfast

Hotel Nadia – 2*

–Top-rated 2-star with very central location–

ean-191698-787519_38_b-imageA perennial Amsterdam favorite, the Hotel Nadia is another one that is officially 2-stars because it doesn't have a lift, but pretty much everything else about the place is a solid 3-star. Again, the location is very centrally located yet not on top of a nightlife area, so everything is within walking distance and the nights are quiet. The Anne Frank House is very close, so this is a great location to head over there early and avoid the huge queue later.

There's free wi-fi and the hotel has a reputation for being spotless, but it's the service and the staff that get the rave reviews from practically every guest. With many smaller hotels in Amsterdam in this price range you often have to hunt down even one person at the front desk, but at the Nadia they routinely go out of their way to help guests plan their day and find the best local resources.

Rooms starting at €91 per night, including breakfast

Misc Eatdrinksleep – 2*

–Tiny boutique B&B in the city center–

hotelsdotcom-317306-1354594_17_b-imageThe Misc Eatdrinksleep is a 6-room bed & breakfast that officially gets a 2-star rating because there is no lift, but otherwise it's more like a 3- or even 4-star boutique hotel. The location is very convenient for almost everything, being on the quiet side of the city center, a short walk from the Red Light District, the Old Church, and the central train station.

This is another property that gets very good reviews from nearly everyone, and yet new guests continue to feel as if their expectations have been exceeded. There's a comfortable kingsized bed in each room, plus a flat screen TV, and free and fast wi-fi. With only 6 rooms the owners are able to cater to many small requests, and evidently they have a fantastic reputation for doing so.

Rooms starting at €175 per night, including breakfast
Click to find best rates for the Misc Eatdrinksleep

Mauro Mansion – 3*

–Small, quirky, and great value for Amsterdam's #1 hotel–

With only 9 rooms, the Mauro Mansion is another that's run like a bed & breakfast, with extremely good service from the on-site owners who'll tend to every request possible. They actually claim to be zero stars, but clearly they are just being modest because this is literally the #1-rated hotel for Amsterdam in TripAdvisor.

The location only a short walk from the central train station makes it very convenient for most people, and finding a tram or taxi out to the museums or other attractions is easy. All rooms here have free wi-fi, a flat-screen TV, a DVD player on request, and even a minibar fridge filled with free drinks.

Seemingly every past guest sings the praises of the Mauro Mansion, so it's a wonder that they are still in the moderate price range for this expensive hotel city.

Rooms starting at €119 per night, including breakfast
Click to find best rates for the Mauro Mansion

Hotel Estherea – 4*

–Great-value for a 4-star with central location–

67309540-153e7756178The Hotel Estherea is a very popular 4-star hotel with 92 rooms, many of which overlook the historic Singel Canal in the heart of the city. The location will be ideal for many, as it's on a quiet street near the shopping district and the Anne Frank House, but also walking distance from pretty much every attraction in Amsterdam. Three different nightlife districts are only a 10-minute walk away as well.

Being one of Amsterdam's highest-rated 4-star hotels you'd expect the Hotel Estherea to also be among the most expensive, but online specials often have it on par with many 3-star hotels. All rooms have recently been renovated and there is great attention to detail here, along with very good service by the professional staff. A breakfast buffet costs extra, but there's a bakery a few steps away, and there's free wi-fi throughout.

Rooms starting at €181 per night

Hi Roger! can i ask for your advice on where i can stay in Amsterdam? I bothered by the red light district since i have an 11 year old girl with me. I still want to be in the city center. Can you suggest what hotel and area i should consider. Thank you

    I understand your dilemma and interestingly enough I’m now developing a new feature for this exact type of situation, using Amsterdam as the first example (because I used to live there). That won’t be ready for a while though.

    The actual Red Light District is now very small and there are almost no hotels near the actual red light windows. Still, the rest of the area is filled with bars and coffeeshops, so it’s not a great choice for families in general. My favorite areas for hotels in Amsterdam are near Rembrandtplein (Rembrandt Square), the center of which is also home to much of Amsterdam’s more glamorous nightlife. The square itself can be loud at night, so you’d probably want to find a hotel at least a block or two away from that. There are dozens of nice hotels in the blocks around that square, and it’s a convenient and mostly family-friendly neighborhood.

    My other favorite hotel neighborhood is a little farther out and it’s called Leidseplein (Leidse Square). It’s a short walk from the Reichsmuseum (main state museum), and fairly close to the Van Gogh Museum. If you find Leidseplein on the map you’ll find plenty of hotels in the blocks around it, and again, I wouldn’t stay right ON the square if I were you. There are also quite a few really good-value hotels in the quiet neighborhood just south and east of Leidseplein in the blocks close to Vondelpark. It’s VERY quiet around there, but still a fairly short walk to Leidseplein, which has something like 100 small restaurants all next to each other on the blocks just north of the square itself. If you find a place you are considering I will be happy to give you my advice in another comment. Have a great trip. -Roger

Hotel seasons

Hotels in Chiang Mai are some of the best bargains in the travel world. The high season runs from November through March, and the weeks around Christmas and New Years get even more expensive. From April through October you can often find excellent bargains at the fancy places, while most cheap places don’t change rates much.

Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second largest and second most popular cultural city, after the capital of Bangkok. The atmosphere is noticeably different, even when not considering the lovely mountain setting.

The city is also one of the world’s great travel bargains, with all range of hotels being quite cheap by international standards, and Chiang Mai hostels are, of course, even cheaper. You can get rooms at high-standard 3-star Chiang Mai hotels for around the price of a hostel bed in northern Europe.

Most of the attractions are also free or quite cheap, so visitors can use much of the rest of their budget on the inexpensive souvenirs at the various markets. Food and drinks are available in all price ranges, with plenty of great street food and local restaurants having fantastic bargains.

weather advise for AmsterdamWeather advice

In spite of Chiang Mai’s mountain location, it has very similar weather to the coastal cities in Southeast Asia. April is the hottest month, and the humidity can make things nearly unbearable. Things cool off a bit during the rainy season from May through mid-October, and rain tends to come in daily bursts rather than long drizzles. The weather from November through February is relatively mild making it by far the best time to visit.

iOS 4.2: Update Delayed? – New Release Date for Download

We have some disappointing news to bring you now, as it has been reported that Apple has delayed the release of their iOS 4.2 update for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad due to a last minute issue related to WiFi.

According to this report from MacRumors, information has surfaced from Greek website iPhoneHellas, who have claimed that the update is delayed until Tuesday, November 16th.

Further information from AppAdvice, suggest that the problem is due to a last minute WiFi connection issue which is holding up the delay. This apparently is an issue which was discovered in the GM version of iOS 4.2 and has since led to numerous complaints on the Apple boards.

What are your thoughts on this? We were obviously expecting the update to drop today at some point, but it looks like that it isn’t going to happen. We’ll bring you more on this story later.

  • Tim

    Guys think about it. You call then crap while complaining about them taking a few more days to get it right. Do you and it stable and tested, or just rolled out with the bugs. Stop complaining about everything! You're boring!

  • Bob

    Give Steve a break.
    The man is running a tech company without knowing how to write one line of code, hell, the man doesn't even know what a diode is.

    He depends on gut instinct and the advice of others.
    Its a very random process.

  • Leo

    "iOS 4.2 coming in November! November of 2037, that is…"

    "iOS 4.3 out in December…of the year 3000!"

  • Kery

    May be not this November….iPad user…sorry…

  • Kery

    The new iPad coming in ios 4.2

  • AppleNerd

    I believe the now ipdate is going to be: Tuesday 16th! It is Tuesday and not last Monday because the apple developers found a glitch with the software.

  • Hamed

    we r waiting. I have nothing to say

  • Dunkmanone

    I Have a iPhone 3GS 16GB
    And the new bootroom on 4.1
    I only have T-Mobile and i am waiting eagerly for this update…please ultrasn0w hurry up!

  • kiddingme?

    A bit offtopic but anyway:

    This site sucks if u arent on very fast network… 3.6 mbit 3G connection (tested on speedtest app) with iPhone 4 took like 35 seconds to load this page, because it’s full of hyperlinks and rubbish.. U should really clean this site, I wont read it ever again if it’s full of shit like now, honestly.

  • Roger Camp

    Actually, Apple never told an exact release date, only told that's going to be in November. As so many iPad owner, I can't wait for the release. Come on Apple! Show me the money!

  • getalife

    get your facts straight, apple never released a date, everyone assumed it. get a life the lot of you, even an apple product with a few minor issues is better than a fully tested Microsoft release.

    • unit057

      Though they didn't release a date for iO.S 4.2, it was still delayed (later release date than expected).

  • Scott

    Are Apple becoming another Microsoft. Announcing releases, then delays, then still releasing with bugs????????

    • Kalel

      Obviously you haven't worked in a Software company before or even built your own software. Apple still has the most stable OS and phone/tablet ever built. Name another that holds a candle to them. The fact they're delaying the release due to an intermittent bug shows they're still holding up to the apple standard. Kudos to them.

  • Bobby

    Id much rather a delayed working release than a release with a bug. We all remember that annoying month when iOS 3.1.1 ( or which ever it was) which kept randomly turning the phone off without warning. Don’t Want stuff like that happening again. Took them a month to fix that.

  • Andrew

    As you will be aware I'm sure, Beta is pre-release software specifically aimed at, not only allowing the developer to advance his own product, but to iron out remaining bugs through a professional community who will generally identify issues quicker than the average user. Complaining about sorting issues before it gets passed to us seems absolutely illogical to me – I mean we'd all complain bitterly if the OS was sub-standard when we got it.

    Patience. Its just software.

  • Andy

    But releasing it to the developers is part of the testing….. They can get several thousand tests done in 1 day by releasing it to devs. As apposed to 6 guys in a room. At least the issue was released to the wider public – don’t think they could take much more stick around signal issues!

  • Appleis Crud

    this is because apple is crap!

  • Luke

    i want a man to man fight with someone from apple

  • Higster

    When are Apple going to learn to test their OS functionality BEFORE releasing to developers etc. Apple obviously felt this update was ready as this released it to developers, but as usual some 3rd party had to find the problem.

    Maybe Apple should stop 'Designing In California USA' and let the Chinese both Design and Assemble, then things may actually work!

  • Jan

    A last minute Wi-Fi problem??????????? That problem has been there since day one, Steve!!!!

    • Andy

      I completely agree! It has never smoothly worked for me!

  • Ruben

    this is unbelievable my iphone 3g needs an unlock and these guys are playing hard to get

    • kash

      i am totally in the same boat mate, 3g iphone 16gb on 05.14.02 baseband i need this unlock oh so bad 🙁

  • francisco

    Wow it seems like ios 4.2 will never be made public. maybe apple is nowhere near finishing the os

  • Jon

    Are apple facing quality issues? Problems found apparently with the mac air and now with iOS 4.2. Have they changed their testing team?

  • Sir Cragglepoop

    Maybe iOS4.2 has gone the way of the White iPhone

    • sam

      any1 help me please iphone 3gs 4.0.1 05.14.01 unlocking plsssssssss

      • dollerhyde77

        You will have to wait until 4.2 is available then after that a new version of ultrasnow will be released and unlock that baseband.( dont upgrade to 4.2 though)
        I am waiting as well.

        • Matt

          the unlock will be available for both 4.1 and 4.2 so might as well
          upgrade to 4.2 if your already stuck at 5.14.02 BB

Samsung Q900R QLED 8K TV announced with 8K upscaling

Believe it or not, 4K will soon become a thing of the past and Samsung wants to be one of the first to tempt you in to the future reality of 8K viewing.

The company took to IFA 2018 to announce the new Samsung Q900 QLED 8K TV, which will be available starting from September 2018, offering 8K upscaling amongst other premium features.

For those that want to be the first to own an 8K television in the home, Samsung are giving early adopters the option of owning either a 65, 75, 72 or 85-inch version of this model.

Aside from 8K upscaling, it will offer Q HDR 8K, Real 8K resolution and Quantum Processor 8K. It all sounds very technical, but Samsung state that this model can produce a 4,000 nit peak brightness which would give homeowners a genuine film studio quality to their pictures.

At this stage, it is very different to gauge what 8K really means as there isn’t any content available to compare with. If you are someone who likes to future proof devices in the home though, Samsung are giving you the chance to this September.

For us, the real feature will be the 8K upscaling to take your current picture all the way up to an 8K resolution. Let us know your thoughts on 8K and if you are ready to take the plunge – just expect to pay a premium price for the luxury.

Welcome to Perham 180!

Perham 180 is a six-month transitional housing and employment program that helps adults with a opportunity to establish employment and stability in an independent living setting in the community of Perham.

The Perham 180 Transitional Shelter Program, partnered with SisBro, LLC and KLN Holding, LP, is providing adult participants, who have some type of barrier in maintaining housing and employment, with an opportunity to establish employment and stability in an independent living setting within the community or surrounding areas.

Located on the Northwest side of Perham, our housing is made up of 10 self-contained private rooms each containing a bed, sink, microwave, small fridge, TV and bathroom/shower.  An additional two rooms were remodeled to house the office and a community kitchen.

Through communication of their goals, participants accepted into the program will help the staff in developing a month by month plan to meet their individual goals such as establishing local health providers, reinstating drivers licenses, and improving their social and self-care skills. Our hope is participants who have continued to show responsibility and ownership in achieving their goals will have the means and be approved for housing with in a 6-month period.

Applicants referred to Perham 180 will be required to fill out an application, including a short paragraph or two of why they feel they are a good candidate and two personal references.  If the applicant appears to be a good fit for the program, we will then schedule a face to face interview where we will hope to learn more about the applicant’s goals and work interest.

If you would like more information or would like to submit an application, please call our office at 218-298-0083 M-F 8:30 am - 4:30 pm.

Prospa is NSW state winner in 2017 Telstra Business Awards

Prospa has been awarded the 2017 Telstra New South Wales Medium Business Award in the 2017 Telstra Business Awards. Prospa is the first fintech company to be awarded the accolade and this year’s win follows the company’s third consecutive appearance as a finalist: in 2015 in the Startup category, and in 2016 and 2017 in the Medium Business category.

Over the past five years, Prospa has disrupted a previously traditional industry by transforming the way small business owners experience finance, injecting more than $400m into the Australian small business economy through over 12,000 loans to small business owners. Alongside this growth, Prospa has maintained extremely high customer satisfaction of over 90%, as well as forming strategic partnerships with Westpac, Reckon and IAG, enabling easier access to finance for small businesses across the country.

In its 25th year, the Telstra Business Awards are nationally recognised for showcasing the most inspiring small and medium businesses in Australia, rewarding the innovation and passion of Australia’s business owners.

Small business loans provider Prospa wins Telstra Business Award

Beau Bertoli, joint CEO of Prospa, comments: “We’re honoured to be the first fintech company recognised as NSW’s top medium-sized business. We believe this win highlights Australia’s changing attitudes towards startups and confidence it has in the fintech industry.”

“We owe this achievement to the continued success of the small businesses we support, and the unmatched commitment of each and every one of our team members to execute our ambitious business goals.”

Greg Moshal, joint CEO of Prospa, adds: “Prospa is one of Australia’s fastest growing technology companies, and we’re proud to have been commended for our work. This week Prospa celebrates its fifth birthday and we are proof you can build a big, high quality, successful business in just 5 years. We look forward to continuing to solve problems for small business owners and supporting the growth of the 2 million small businesses across Australia.”

‘Ask questions’ and other tips for junior PR pros

Meeting around a desk

This is an article by Kay Seago, public relations executive at Coast Communications.

Life as a junior PR practitioner can be quite daunting at times.

From answering client calls and queries to attending your first marketing meeting, it can all seem a bit overwhelming.

But the good thing is that you’re not alone. Everyone has to start somewhere, and luckily for you, these five quick tips should help make your experience a lot less painful…

1) Don’t get lost in the admin

As most junior practitioners know, it’s more than likely that you’ll start your PR life dealing with admin, and lots of it! Whether it be press cuttings, press reports or simply filing client details, every junior PR will grow to be the best of friends with paperwork. The key is to not bury yourself in it.

I’ve come to realise that it’s actually incredibly easy to get lost in the admin. The challenge is creating a balance between the day-to-day jobs and the actual nitty gritty of public relations.

I’ve found that creating time slots really helps. By dedicating a certain number of hours to admin tasks, you’ll find that you’re freeing up time to get stuck in. Use this time to get a feel for how the company works and grow accustomed to each client.

2) Do your research

If, like me, you work in a PR agency, you’ll have multiple clients to attend to. No two clients are the same, and so their PR goals can differ significantly.

As a result, it’s important to get to know each client’s needs. Spend some time researching the client. What profession are they in? When did they start up? Is it a family company? Etc.

Once you’re familiar with each client you’ll begin to understand their needs and feel more confident when it comes to engaging with them.

3) Interact with clients

Clients want to feel assured that their PR company understands their needs and can put their message out confidently. Admittedly, it can be quite daunting when speaking with clients for the first time but try to stop the nerves from overwhelming you.

Instead of seeing client meetings as a trip to the lion’s den, see it as a chance to gain experience.

If you find it difficult to contribute to the conversation, look at the agenda beforehand and make a note of any points that you might be able to expand on. Ask your boss to have a look over your ideas and see if they can make any improvements.

4) Take initiative

There might be times where you’re tasked with a job that would normally fall to an account manager – this is your time to shine.

Recently, I found myself leading my first marketing meeting. The situation arose when the account manager had to cancel the meeting at the last minute but the client didn’t want to rearrange. As a result, I offered to step in and lead the meeting myself.

I quickly prepared for the meeting by looking at the agenda, making notes of how PR activity will help certain issues, and reminded myself of the client account.

It’s challenges like this where you can really build experience. Just remember – if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

5) Ask questions

It’s drilled into us from a young age, but I think this piece of advice is really underrated.

I always thought that asking questions made you appear incompetent, but it’s actually the complete opposite.

Any manager will tell you that it’s a lot better to ask a few questions and complete the job correctly the first time rather than steaming ahead and making mistakes.

Fortunately, my bosses have the time to go through things with me, answering any questions that I might have. However, if you find that your bosses don’t have the time, ask a colleague – or better yet, take the initiative and research.

Starting out in PR can be challenging and overwhelming, but once you’ve mastered the balance, it can be incredibly rewarding. PR is a fast-moving industry so keep educating yourself and as your confidence grows so will your prospects. Treat every experience as a learning curve: you might be a junior now but you could be a senior next year.

Do People Trust Charities? Study by BBB’s Uncovers Pitfalls

Share Article

Public misconceptions make donors vulnerable and can lead to faulty giving decisions.

“We rely on charities to solve some of society’s most challenging problems and it is startling to learn only a small percentage of Americans highly trust charities,” said H. Art Taylor, president and CEO of BBB’s

Most people say trust is important before donating to charity, but fewer than one in five adult Americans say they “highly trust” charities, according to new research from BBB’s The group today released the Donor Trust Report: An In-depth Look into the State of Trust in the Charitable Sector. The report, a survey of 2,100 adults in the United States, explores donor beliefs, feelings, and behavioral intentions related to charity trust and giving.

While the majority of respondents (73 percent) say it is very important to trust a charity before giving, only a small portion of respondents (19 percent) say they highly trust charities and an even smaller portion (10 percent) are optimistic about the sector becoming more trustworthy over time. The research was first reported in The Chronicle of Philanthropy.

“We rely on charities to solve some of society’s most challenging problems and it is startling to learn only a small percentage of Americans highly trust charities,” said H. Art Taylor, president and CEO of BBB’s, “This report shows the need to strengthen public trust in the charitable sector, and reminds us that the ability of charitable organizations to thrive in the future is closely tied to their ability to understand how rising – and more diverse – generations think about trust, engagement and generosity.”

According to the report, minorities and younger generations are particularly vulnerable because they are more likely to rely heavily on engaging stories and perceived sincerity and passion in a charity’s appeal when making giving decisions. According to the report, 32% of Millennials (ages 20-36) and 45% of Generation Z (ages 18 and 19) respondents say passion and sincerity is a top perceived signal of trust, as compared to only 9% of Matures (ages 72-89). In addition, racial minorities and younger generations are more likely to perceive verifying trust in a charity as “easy,” suggesting that these groups are less likely take the extra step to vet a charity before giving.

The Donor Trust Report offers a macro-level view of the state of public trust for the charitable sector as a whole and for specific charity types. Other themes covered include: triggers of trust at the individual donor level, presentation of donor attitudes along generational and racial lines, and shifting views about generosity more broadly.

BBB’s urges donors to give thoughtfully by taking the time to look into charities before making a donation and to visit to verify if a charity meets the 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.

Increase Event Attendance in 17 Ways

There are few things worse than spending countless hours (and wasting a bunch of money) getting an event ready only to have a bad turnout. Meager attendance and lots of empty chairs are the bane of every committee chair’s existence, and we thought a handy list of ways to improve attendance would be a welcome topic.

Of course, not every idea we have will work for every event, but you can apply those that fit what you’re trying to accomplish.

One important point to keep you sane as the event date looms closer – 1/2 of event registrations or RSVPs occur within 2 weeks of the event date. That’s 1/2 half! So don’t worry too much if you don’t see major registrations rolling in from the start.

1. Ask around for input and then followup and ask for feedback when you’re done
Chances are there are others who have attended a similar event in the past, so find out what worked and what didn’t from them. They just might have a great idea for you! You can even try emailing your prospective attendees with a small e-survey. Be sure to always follow up with attendees after the event to see what could be done better the next time around.

2. Location. Location. Location. But affordable.
Make sure you’re not asking your guests driving halfway across the country to attend. Or worse, at a location that is so expensive that no one can afford to go. Be sure to find a location convenient and affordable for most of your attendees and try t make it unique enough to set your event apart.

3. Choose a date that works
The time of year, day of the week and time of day all make a difference for attendance. The general consensus is that after work is great for appreciation/networking events and later week after work is good for school events. In addition, Tuesdays and Thursdays make for good meeting days, and holidays and Fridays should usually be avoided for most events (unless it’s a 4th of July party, for example).

4. Know your competition
Check with other nearby schools and larger venues to see if something is already planned on your big day. If there’s something in the works, you just might be able to negotiate a deal witht he other event. The only exception to this rule is if there is already an event that is bringing in out of town attendess and your event requires the same. You may want to plan your event immediately before or after the other event to capitalize on those people being in town already.

5. Provide options for multiple demographics
You may have widely varying age and interest differences among your audience members, so one way to appeal to each audience segment is to provide incentives or programming specifically designed for each segment. If it’s a wedding with lots of younger people but a significant number of baby-boomers, you may want to offer two different kinds of music or activities that appeal to each audience.

6. Send out save the dates early
Get on people’s calendars as soon as you can so they can set aside the day and time.

7. Personalize your invitations and other mailed correspondence
Believe it or not, but mailed correspondence gets more attention these days due to the predominance of email. And anything that is personalized with handwriting gets even more notice.

8. Simplify the registration / RSVP process
If you are using online registration, make your forms as easy as possible to complete. Minimize the number of fields. Make it easy for multiple registrations (because for weddings and parties one person often replies for an entire family, and for business events one person may be registering for multiple co-workers). And consider bundled pricing for those multiple registrations.

9. Offer incentives for early registrations or arrivals
Early-bird discounts are a must for priming early registrations for many business-related events. But also consider giving away books, discount coupons or other value-adds to people who sign up early. And extend your early-bird registration at the last minute to give bargain-hunters a second chance.

10. Build your schedule/agenda early and communicate it to your audience
The clearer and more detailed you are about your agenda, the more people will feel they can make an informed decision about attending. Make sure you include this in your communications.

11. Build extracurricular fun time into the agenda (and make events family friendly)
Any event that is longer than 2 hours needs breaks or down time built into the schedule, and multi-day events should have some extracurricular fun time built into the schedule. Also, many attendees like to turn conferences and meetings into family trips, so keep this in mind when proposing entertainment and dining options to your attendees.

12. Express multiple value propositions in your promotional efforts
Just one benefit isn’t enough for most people to attend your event. You should include in your invitations, emails and marketing materials (including Web site) the valuable take-aways of the event (e.g., what attendees will learn); keynote speakers and/or entertainment; the schedule/agenda; photos and testimonials of past events; people/companies that attended past events; and any other relevant benefits.

13. Use emails to both invite and remind
Even if you sent out mailed invitations, it still doesn’t hurt to also send an email invitation and link back to your event website. However, it is critical to use email to send out reminders to your invited participants as well as your attendees. A good rule of thumb is sending out emails 14 days, 7 days, 3 days and 1 day prior to the event.

14. Followup phone calls
Before you are up against your RSVP or registration deadline, it’s a good idea to call your prospective attendees and ask them simply if they are planning on attending your event. This has been shown to boost attendance.

15. Optimize your event Web site for mobile devices
Some event planners have found that up to 20% of registrations come from mobile, so if you have an event that requires online registration, you should make sure your Web site works well on smart phones and tablets.

16. Cross promote with other organizations
Contact other organizations who may also reach out to your target audience and give them incentive to cross-promote your event to their lists. You could make them an in-kind sponsor and give them registration discounts or other spiffs for helping you.

17. Ask attendees and speakers to help you promote the event
Finally, the best way to promote an event is to empower your attendees and participants to spread the word. Make it easy for them to reach out to their friends and peers via email and social media. Offer discounts for bringing friends. Encourage your speakers and event participants to promote the event to their networks.

Olaf Breuning: Clouds

Olaf Breuning: Clouds

About the Exhibition

Olaf Breuning’s installation, Clouds, towers nearly 35 feet above this plaza. Held aloft among the trees of Central Park by rudimentary steel supports, the six bright blue clouds are made of polished and painted aluminum and were cut to match a hand drawing by the artist. Calling to mind the set design of a school play or child-like drawings of the sky, the idea for this work is inspired by one of the artist’s staged photographs. For this earlier work, Breuning used cranes and cherry pickers to raise large blue drawings of clouds high in the air, creating a momentary scene to be captured by the camera.

Interested in situations that bend reality to the whims of his imagination, Breuning’s forays into film, sculpture, drawing, and photography often propel viewers into a world that borders on the surreal and underscores the humor of everyday life. Clouds dramatically transforms the skyline of the park into a playful fictional tableau, inviting us to experience the stage-like quality of a New York City street with a new sense of wonder and possibility.

This exhibition is curated by Andria Hickey.

Checkpoint: Witness GTX 1070 Edition

posted in: Editorials & Features | 0

And just a few days after witnessing the sheer compute power of my buddy’s GTX 1080, my Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming G1 arrived. Installation in the Silverstone Raven Z RVZ02 was painless with plenty of room to spare.

Shamefully, I’ve yet to put the video card through its paces. (I blame Overwatch and its Halloween event). I installed it, ran the Gears of War 4 benchmark and that was it. Unsurprisingly, it completed the test with 1080p at ultra settings without breaking a sweat. I’m hoping to play actual games with it some time today or tomorrow. I promise it’s not just going to be a Gears of War 4 benchmarking machine.

Oh, I did change the LED color to orange and made it pulsate like it was “breathing”. A truly useless feature when the case which the video card is installed is windowless.

I understand why people poo poo on the GeForce Experience for requiring a username a login but when it offers easy install and update of video card drivers, it’s tolerable. I don’t know how well it optimizes game settings to my hardware but at least there’s a baseline to work with.

Dragon Quest VII is surprising me with changes to the party members. It may end up being a temporary change but to see a major character just up and depart was eye brow raising.

You only need one Xbox One review

posted in: Game News | 0

If you need just one Xbox One console review make it AnandTech’s “mini-review“. It is amazing that one outlet’s “mini-review” outdoes the efforts of a majority of gaming press.

They not only highlight the differences in performance but also explain how the differences manifest themselves in games. They measured power consumption at different power states and even browser benchmarks. Who else is going to run browser benchmarks out there?

Who cares enough about the details like AnandTech? Not the clowns at Gamespot who came up with this doozy of a comparison. I can only assume this is ineptitude and lack of effort because I refuse to believe that was someone’s best effort.

Digital Foundry is close to what I’m looking for from the game’s press but they’re not in the same league as AnandTech. I don’t expect every member of an outlet to be experts but I do expect them to hire someone who knows what they’re talking about and how impart that knowledge to their readers.

Detecting for Benchmarks: A Blast from the Past

posted in: Technology News | 0

samsung-logoI recall the controversy over NVIDIA cheating in 3DMark. I remember the internet rage and how much crud was flung over NVIDIA’s GeForce FX because of these kinds of antics. Now with Samsung (and potentially others) caught pulling off these kinds of stunts in smartphones, I’m left wondering if we’ll see something similar.

It’s actually been a couple of days since the AnandTech posted their investigation and not much buzz surrounded it. What happened? We stopped caring about just one benchmark. GL Benchmark — and most theoretical benchmarks for that matter — lost relevancy after the NVIDIA and 3DMark controversy. Reviewers and users stopped giving these theoretical benchmarks weight. It’s about user performance and real world testing.

These kinds of shady optimizations should not be condoned though. They still muddy reviews and Samsung and the likes should be called out for it.

NVIDIA’s Rollout Plan for Titan is Lame

posted in: Technology News | 0

This is what happens when you’re top dog. You get to milk the release of your $999 video card and waste everyone’s time with your nonsense.

Today tech sites like AnandTech get to talk about the upcoming Geforce GTX Titan but not divulge any performance figures. Apparently we all have to wait until Thursday to see numbers like this:

The above was apparently taken down NVIDIA’s website. It’s an impressive leap over the GTX 680 but these are NVIDIA numbers and I they may be a bit generous. Why couldn’t they just allow people to release their benchmark results today? Because after tomorrow, I don’t think I will care anymore.

Proposals for the Implementation and Improvement of ISO 9001

Academic journal article Global Journal of Business Research

Proposals for the Implementation and Improvement of ISO 9001

Article excerpt

The ISO 9001 quality management system (QMS) includes a method of continuous improvement put in place in 1994. Through this system, audits and reviews are performed to identify, correct and prevent problems. Although the method of continuous improvement, combined with adherence to annual quality objectives, is an important part of the QMS, only a few business managers and quality professionals seem to acknowledge its significance. Whether the organization uses QMS or other improvement programs such as Six Sigma, Lean and TPM, it faces the same key question: how to ensure that methods that were beneficial during the execution of a project have continuity in the organization after the project has ended? One method of ensuring continuity is to apply QMS at the end of a project. Many organizations acquire and use ISO 9001 QMS in a limited way, for marketing purposes among other things, without taking a full advantage of its beneficial features. This paper analyzes various ways by which an organization can use the most beneficial characteristics of ISO 9001 QMS to improve its operations. The paper contributes to an ongoing discussion on the content and implementation of a quality system version related to ISO 9001 QMS, known as ISO 9001:2008. The paper proposes revisions that will make substantial improvements to ISO 9001:2008.

JEL: L20; L21; L23; M10; M11

KEYWORDS: ISO 9000, quality management system, performance improvement, process approach

ISO 9001 QMS has been in use for more than 20 years and has become the most popular industrial standard with more than 1 million organizations using the technique. The suitability of ISO 900 1 is therefore important for those organizations. If it is not suitable, they may invest time and energy into it without real positive impacts on their businesses. ISO 9001 is not immune to criticism. This paper discusses common arguments against ISO 9001 QMS and reviews their counter arguments. The literature review specific areas of quality and business management research issues. Two most important areas are tacit knowledge and process management. Several good features of ISO 9000 are identified and their ability to improve quality is discussed. By analyzing the present content and interpretations of ISO 9000, the author finds areas for improvement like the process approach. The paper closes with concluding comments about the present state of ISO 9001 standard.

The benefits and functionality of ISO 9001 quality management system has generated criticism from time to time. Curkovic and Pagell (1999) list some typical arguments against ISO 9000 like: the system is not directly connected to product quality, an organization does not need to demonstrate that its customers are satisfied, it is paper-driven and overly bureaucratic. Seddon (1998) identifies many examples of the harmful effects of ISO 9000: ISO 9000 makes things worse for their customers, ISO 9000 is inspection oriented and not development oriented, contract reviews have harmful effects, external auditors define quality and organizations do not achieve the promised results.

Symonds (1998), who serves as EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) Audit Manager in Mobil Corporation has responded to claims presented by Seddon. He presents two general observations. First, the people who criticize ISO 9000 are usually not directly involved in its implementation. Second, one should not blame the tool, if it is not used properly. These observations make sense in regard to all business systems, methods and tools. Thus, some companies achieve good results by implementing any well-known method while others, using the same tools, manage to only increase costs and frustration levels.

What explains the failure of some companies to use quality management tools for the benefit of the organization? Usually the root cause of failure can be found in the top and middle management who lack the skills needed for interpreting and implementing results obtained through QMS. …

Disney Does It Again with "Expedition Everest"

Magazine article USA TODAY

Disney Does It Again with "Expedition Everest"

Article excerpt

A new adventure lies in the Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla. The recently opened Expedition Everest takes visitors on a journey through the Himalayan region to Mt. Everest. At just under 200 feet, the structure is the tallest of the 18 mountains created by Disney Imagineers, who actually traveled to Nepal so they could re-create the area with realistic detail.

Riders embark on the Anandapur Rail Service, an aged steam train that ascends the mountain in search of the mythical Yeti. However, the climb is halted just before the train reaches a break in the tracks, undoubtedly gnarled and twisted by the enraged beast. Although startled by the sight of this hopeless trail, riders surely will be exhilarated as the train races backwards--turning and twisting through the darkened mountain caverns and icy canyons--seeking to escape the Yeti's wrath.

The reverse trek and high-speed curves make this one of the most exciting coasters at Walt Disney World.

Expedition Everest Fast Facts

* The careening adventure includes an 80-foot drop and almost one mile of track, plus frightening encounters with the mystical Yeti.

* The mammoth-sized Audio-Animatronics Yeti has a potential thrust (in all of its hydraulic cylinders combined) of slightly more than 259,000 pounds of force--potentially more instantaneous power than a 747-400 airliner.

* To create the sense of an enormous mountain range, Imagineers painted a "mural" of shadows across the face of the mountains. …

Magazine article American Forests

Forest Therapy

Article excerpt

"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness."

John Muir

It's a Friday afternoon. Things are piling up on your desk, your last vacation seems like a former life, and your facial tics keep better time than your watch.

What to do? Well, you could slave away all weekend to catch up on work and then pay your therapist $100 an hour to diagnose acute overworked-underpaid-stress syndrome and prescribe some it's-okay-to-be-not-okay rehab. Or you could cut out the middleman and head off to the woods.

With his biophilia hypothesis, Edward O. Wilson suggests that we humans have a genetic basis for our love of nature. And yet all too often it is a long-distance relationship. Our on-line world full of deadlines, traffic jams, and sterile environments provides little to satisfy this most basic human need. After two million years of evolution in nature, we now have little contact with the natural world that designed and nurtured us.

We need the tonic of wildness, wrote Thoreau in 1854. That was before cars, computers, phones, and urban sprawl with its mountains of concrete, plastic, and steel. Today we desperately need the tonic of wildness.

This is especially true for the readers (and the editors) of this magazine and everyone else involved in the protection of trees and forests. To paraphrase Edward Abbey, we mustn't spend all our time working and fighting for the natural world - we must get out there and enjoy it as well. That immersion, after all, is what inspires us to save it.

John Muir said that if the wilderness is to be saved, the people must come to love it. That means they must experience it. Muir followed his own advice, spending weeks and even months at a time in the wild lands he worked so hard to protect.

To be effective conservationists, we have to periodically recharge by reacquainting ourselves with the aesthetic qualities of trees and forests. …

Mark Ritson on Branding: Has Google Met Its Match?

Mark Ritson on Branding: Has Google Met Its Match?

Article excerpt

The arrival of Microsoft's Bing could lead to Google's perceived superiority being questioned.

Despite all the bling that has been spent on Bing, few people are giving Microsoft's new search engine much chance of stealing away even a fraction of Google's dominant market share. That makes sense when you consider the strength of Google's brand - the term 'Google' has become the verb for undertaking an online search. The brand, we are reliably told, is now the world's most valuable, with an equity of more than dollars 1bn.

Google enjoys a near 90% share of the UK search market thanks to a loyal user base which returns to it time and again for their online information. Despite this dominance, you can see why Microsoft thinks it has a chance with Bing. For all its current loyalty and brand equity, Google does have an Achilles heel and it could prove relatively easy to erode that loyalty and grab share. Let me explain.

One of the most over-used phrases in the marketing lexicon is 'brand loyalty'. There are many reasons for a return purchase, and only a few of them relate to a consumer's relationship with the brand.

Take all the pompous marketers from banks and mobile-phone networks that seem to dominate the rosters of most marketing conferences. Almost all of them mistake a consumer who is locked into their brand through significant switching costs with one who is enraptured by the brand and therefore unlikely to stray.

Switching costs are the painful, time-consuming steps required to change brands when you are unhappy with the service you are receiving. These costs usually account for a far higher proportion of repeat purchases than the higher-level, stronger brand loyalty for which they are often mistaken. It is like asking your parents on their silver wedding anniversary for the secret of their long and happy marriage and being told that a divorce would have been too messy. It is loyalty, of a sort; but not the best or strongest kind.

Which brings me back to Google. The reason we visit the site is because we believe it to be the fastest and finest search engine on the planet That's a wonderful position of perceived superiority, but hardly the high-level symbolic brand associations that typify most strong brands While it might be possible to make a better cola than Coke, no one is worried about this in Atlanta, because it would be impossible to be more Coca-Cola than Coca-Cola. The brand has an unassailable symbolic advantage. …

Sharon Stone, Andy Grove, and a Host of Others

Sharon Stone, Andy Grove, and a Host of Others

Article excerpt

Like an audience that leaves a Broadway musical whistling, attendees at this year's American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) convention likely will leave the three days of intense discussion of journalism's weightiest issues with one luminous image: Sharon Stone.

The actress speaks Friday, April 16, at the closing luncheon. Her appearance is more than a transparent ploy to get editors to stay until the closing bell, of course.

Stone not only can relate her experiences from the other side of the tabloid journalists scrum, she is also the wife of San Francisco Examiner executive editor Phil Bronstein.

Neither is Stone the only entertainer on the agenda. Film star and Miami Vice veteran Edward James Olmos speaks Thursday on the topic "We're all in the same gang." Immediately following Olmos will be luncheon speaker Gerry Adams. The president of Sinn Fein, the Irish Republican Army's legal and political wing, has not announced his topic.

The bulk of ASNE's agenda is devoted to newspapering's most pressing concerns: credibility, accuracy, and fairness.

Wednesday morning will be devoted first to an assessment of newspapers' coverage of Washington over the past year and the larger issue of covering a public person's private life.

Among the speakers: Thomas B. Rosenstiel, director of Project for Excellence in Journalism; Robert M. Steele, director of The Poynter Institute's program; Washington Post reporter David Broder; former U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum; former Clinton White House chief of staff Leon Panetta; Springfield (Ohio) News-Sun editor Karla Garrett Harshaw; and Robert Post, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley. …

It was a bad century for Finland. There were continued, intermittent beatings by Swedish armies who first conquered and baptized the Tavastians and then forty years later did the same for the Karelians. In the meantime the Principality of Novgorod had seized a large part of Karelia in 1220. (Ref. 89 )

Overseas scandinavian centers

Iceland remained the most active literary center in the Scandinavian world. The colonies on Greenland also thrived and more will be written about them under NORTH AMERICA, this chapter.

Eastern europe

Southern baltic area (see map in this section of the next chapter)

Lithuanians and Latvians were remnants of the eastern Balts, but all these people had gradually been Slavonized in the 5 or 6 centuries leading up to this 13th. We noted in the discussion above that the Danes conquered and tried to Christianize Livonia and Estonia early in the century. Tallinn, which was a Danish castle, was the Estonian name for the town of Reval, citadel of the Danish king, Waldemar II. Later, German merchants transformed it into a port for the Hanseatic League. The Danes were followed by the German Teutonic Knights along with various crusaders, monks, and Knights of the Sword, offering either conversion to Christianity or decapitation. They forged continually eastward almost completely exterminating the pagan Prussians and thinning out the Livonians. Teutonic orders were established in Riga as early as 1201, causing the disintegration of the Curonians and Semigallians, who were two of some eleven separate, Prussian tribes. The Lithuanians, alone, resisted the Teutonic Knights and absorbed the Knights of the Sword, so that in a sense they protected the Russians. Written history of the Balts begins only at that point, as the Lithuanians consolidated themselves into a powerful state. Various Lithuanian tribes were first united about the middle of the century under Mindaugas. He was baptized a Christian in 1251 but after he and his two sons were assassinated in 1263, the people reverted to paganism. All Balts worshiped a goddess of fate, Laima, closely connected to the sun but they also had multiple demi-gods and goddesses. After they finally became Christianized permanently the Lithuanians became chiefly Roman Catholic while the Latvians became divided between Catholicism and Lutheranism. (Ref. 61 )

At the beginning of the century in a period of some German civil wars, the Danish king also seized Holstein, Mechlenburg, Pomerania and the cities of Lubeck, Hamburg and Bremen, but after 1220, Frederick II defeated Denmark and reconquered these lands, thereafter redoubling the efforts to colonize them. An abundance of grain from the Baltic region helped to supply famine areas in the rest of northern Europe and barley malt allowed a large brewing industry to develop in Hamburg and adjacent areas. (Ref. 222 ) In this entire northern zone along the Baltic it was difficult to keep farm animals alive through the hard winters and there were long periods when no fresh meat or fish could be had, so there was much salting of meat - chiefly pork and fish - and herring was the most important in the salt fish trade. One could buy 20 pounds of meat for 5 cents, but then had to use 2 more for 2 pounds of salt, plus some peppercorns, cloves, etc., for the preservation. In all medieval cooking something had to be used to absorb the salt - bread crumbs, grain, spices, etc. in the form of sauces. (Ref. 211 )
