BEIRUT: An online video on the Nawaya Networks recently launched social networking site introduces new users to Karen, a 16-year-old who dreams of becoming a hip hop dancer, but doesnt know where to take classes.
In her minute-long video introduction she expresses her resolve to keep practicing at home, with the help of online tutorials, until she can find professional instructors.
Three years ago, I started dancing hip hop, but because I was still young I didnt know how or where to take classes, Karen says in the video, which also features clips of her breaking down some self-taught dance moves in her bed room.
I would love to have the SUPRA shoes [a style of running shoe], baggies and a hat, she added, stressing these are all important in order to move better, and also respect the hip hop culture.
The video is part of Karens Nawaya profile page, which also includes a photograph and a short introduction about the teen. These are the essential elements of the non-governmental organizations new social networking site, set to be fully functional by June 10, which seeks to connect disadvantaged youth to professional and recreational opportunities outside their immediate areas.
Taking the online route was a decision made recently by the organizers of the NGO, who looked to the Internet to increase the likelihood of both finding youth in need of their services and opportunities, and of finding the companies, institutions and mentors that can provide them.
Nawaya connects disadvantaged youth, meaning marginalized or at-risk youth, with resources to help them pursue their passions, develop certain skills and talents, said Helene Hamady, the organizations partnership coordinator.
These resources include the networks various partners and range from institutions, like universities to sports academies, businesses, and individuals. Often youth are connected to one of these resources according to their particular aptitudes.
The website enables potential mentors and sponsors to browse individual youths according to their interests, which vary from art, sports, music, photography, theatre and writing. The youths themselves include not only Lebanese, but other nationalities like Syrians, Iraqis, Palestinians and youths from various migrant communities.
Through the online network you can also discover the hidden potential of some youths. We come across a lot of talented people, and we feel that we need to share these talents with a broader audience, she said.

Networking site seeks to connect youth to mentors
Social networking company LinkedIn Corporation (LNKD) has been a volatile stock since it began trading in May 2011. Although it is higher by about 50% year to date, it has experienced a few rocky weeks that now have it sitting on thin support. While LNKD is still well-positioned to go higher through the longer-term lens, a break of support on the near-term chart would set up a nice short trade with defined risk.
With only 24 months under its belt as a publicly traded company, LinkedIn has surprised many a naysayer with its business model and financial results. And the stock's price more than doubling since its IPO is also a testament to the firm's success.
Like many social networking stocks, however, plenty of questions about the business model and revenue sources remain, so these stocks are likely to continue to trade with elevated volatility.
On the weekly chart, we note that through most of 2011 the stock traded in big swings that were not for the faint of heart. After it found a bottom in late 2011, it strung together a sharp rally into the first half of 2012. This then led to a still choppy but more orderly sideways consolidation phase that was roughly $30 wide and lasted from May 2012 until early February 2013.
On Feb. 8, after the company reported its fourth-quarter earnings the night before, LNKD gapped higher at the open and never looked back, closing the day up more than 20%. It was a game-changer of a day as the rally snapped the stock out of its consolidation phase and gave it enough momentum to rally all the way into its next earnings announcement on May 2.
After reporting earnings in May, the stock responded with a bearish gap down day, which after a few days of consolidation, was followed by a bearish shooting star candlestick on May 15.
During the past two weeks, LNKD continued to work its way lower down to a critical lateral support level around $167-$168, which also happens to just about coincide with a 50% Fibonacci retracement of the early February to early May rally. A daily close below $167 support could see the stock fall quickly to $155.
There are two things traders should keep in mind with this trade. First, just because support gets broken does not mean a stock immediately falls into the abyss. More often than not, the going gets choppy for a few days before ultimately resolving lower.

LISLE, Ill., May 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), Chicagoland's multiple listing service (MLS), has announced that RESAAS is sponsoring and attending MREDpalooza as a ZAP! level Sponsor.
RESAAS provides a social network designed to allow real-time updating of property listings as well as the ability to sync with social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Known as "real estate broadcasts", RESAAS's reblast engine automatically generates all of an agency's real estate workflow into social content that is instantly pushed out to the RESAAS platform and other social networks.
Those registered to attend MREDpalooza will be given RESAAS profile pages and will be networked together into a private MREDpalooza group to communicate, network and share information during the live event. In addition to having a booth at MREDpalooza, RESAAS will be introducing its real estate social network and profile pages in training classes throughout the day.
dynaConnections, ListHub, agileTel and Top Producer Systems have also joined the MREDpalooza sponsorship lineup.
