Withlocals mission is connecting people and cultures through food and experiences in a personal, meaningful and ethical way. Founded in May 2013, with initial focus on Asia, Withlocals is part of the same wave of peer-to-peer travel related companies (like AirBnB) that combine new tools with new business. Since December 2013 its social market place connects travelers with locals, ensuring the traveler a unique, personalized and authentic experience, ranging anywhere between a “personal” 10km run followed by a brunch in Singapore to a family dinner in Hanoi. Withlocals not only connects the traveler with a complete new service, namely that of the local micro-entrepreneur, it does such in a social/ethical context outside of the existing conglomerates. The traveler is ensured of an authentic and personal experience while having the certainty that his payment is almost completely to the benefit of his host.

SSCS focuses on integrated-circuit career opportunities and education, offering Society members:- Cutting-edge journal papers - A tutorial-level quarterly magazine- International conferences- SME Webinars- Online tutorials- Local networking at More than 80 Chapters WorldwideThe Society also provides opportunities for student travel and recognition of excellence.With over 9,000 members around the world, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society focuses on fabricated integrated circuit designs -- in contrast to simulated circuits and analyzed models-- for all applications using relevant materials and interconnections.The Society produces the Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC), the most downloaded technical journal in IEEE Xplore, and sponsors the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the world's premier circuits realization conference. The roots of the Society go back to the launch of the ISSCC in 1955, and the debut of the JSSC in 1966 as an archive of major presentations from conferences, expanded into journal length papers. Soon afterward, the leadership of the ISSC and JSSC formally became a Council comprised of all IEEE societies contributing to the field of integrated circuits. As the field grew in the 1980s, two more solid-state circuits conferences were launched -- the VLSI Symposia, a sister conference with the Electron Devices Society, and the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC). In addition, the Council established a signficant relationship with the European Solid-State Device Electronics Conference and the European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC/ESSDERC).To gain more control over its own work, the Council became the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society in 1997. SSCS established the Asian Solid-Solid State Circuits Conference (ASSCC) in 2003 and the Solid-State Circuits Magazine in 2009.Today SSCS is a member of six Councils to leverage interdisciplinary technologies.

The field of interest of the Council encompasses the management sciences and practices applicable to individuals engaged in or overseeing the management of electrical and electronics engineering, related technologies and their arts and sciences, innovation, and strategy in a global environment. http://ieeetmc.org/index.php?q=node/834
