I have paid for and attended both and I enjoyed them and learn a lot and met lots of really interesting  people. 

 A couple of years ago I went to an annual conference for Toastmasters  D73 In Carlton, Melbourne. It was at a Rydges hotel.

I’m in an electric wheelchair.

I arrived at the convention in a wheelchair taxi The hotel had told me that they did have an entrance for disabled people …. I was surprised to find  the entrance for wheelchairs was inside a  car park underground which was locked. The taxi driver managed to get the staff to unlock the door to the carpark. However the taxi could not enter into the carpark because of a low entrance. So I entered the car park in my electric wheelchair while there were cars exiting that nearly ran over me. Then I found the lift and a staff member help me use the lift to take me to the foyer and the floor that the convention was on. I was again surprised to see that there were no disabled toilets available on that floor. The Hotel staff said they did have a disabled toilet on another floor.  in fact on the swimming pool floor. It was very difficult to use with a an old fashioned design and door. Recently I was surprised again to see that that same hotel had been chosen for the 2017  D73 toastmasters annual conference.

 I have communicated to the organizers my dissatisfaction that I have been… What’s the word I am  looking for …discriminated against.Do you have any thoughts?

So nice of them to keep advertising it. There is always next year. Although tomorrow is not promised.

This is the second samsung wireless phone charger that I have owned.
I have stopped using the samsung wireless charger. My home is too dusty. It appears to work properly only in a pristine environment.
The first charger I bought was black and did not fast charge.
They both had the same problem. They would start to flash blue during a charging session and the charging would stop.
Very annoying for 2 reasons.
Firstly I do not need to be woken up by a blue flashing light in the middle of the night. That is  the job of the police not Samsung.
Secondly waking up to a phone that is not completely charged throws into doubt the decision to buy a wireless charger. Let alone the decision to upgrade to a fast charger wireless style.
Of course the chargers are not completely wireless. They need to be plugged into power.
But you dont have to fiddle with plugging a cord into the phone. Just place it on the charger.
The mystery of why it stops charging has been solved.
It is dust.
If the charger is not completely clean, it will overheat and send the blue flashing warning signal then turn off.
A wipe with a cloth occasionally is enough to remove any dust.

And still the phone stopped charging and the wireless charger flashed blue.

Then I tried the suggestion to turn DAYDREAM on.

Settings…..display….daydream on.

Ahhh. Finally the wireless charger charges the phone.

Why don’t Samsung tell you to turn on Daydream in their FAQ

Obviously because it is a software bug that they will eventually fix and would rather not disclose they have bugs.
