President's Prattling ...

Once again we have an interesting and captivating speaker all the way from California and guests from South Jersey, Silicon Valley and Cambridge area.

It was good to see Seol online this week from London.

I think I have certainly upset someone "upstairs" as I have had a particularly bad week with several family health issues taking up time and stressing, a puncture on the way to a District Executive meeting and having set up a training session for three Rotarians on the Rotary UK website and database it had experienced a catasphic outage and was offline for two days and I had to cancel it until next week! ... Oh and the tax man said I could not have some money back that I claimed :-(( hey ho!

Periscope users are already streaming over 350,000 hours of video per day. Live-streaming video is one of the hottest content strategies for social media today.
