When Larissa Banting creates chatbots with personality for her company BizzyBots, she favors self-deprecating humor. Banting also shies away from religion and politics. As an example of a widely-used chatbot that she believes strikes an appropriate balance, Banting points to Poncho—a chatbot that delivers the weather with a humorous tone.

Depending on the complexity and size of the tent, it can take days to properly set one up. That's why Larissa Banting of Weddings Costa Rica recommends fully committing to your rain tent regardless of the forecast, assuming that your venue doesn't have an interior space you can use. "Even smaller tents can take hours, enough time for the forecast to change so my recommendation is to err on the side of caution and have the tent ready to go," she says.

Weddings in Westeros aren’t known for being theBest Day Ever!that so many couples aspire towards. Mass murders, poisonings, duels to the death, forced marriages for political gain - none were what we’d call “blog-worthy” (unless you’re writing forMercenary Weekly). Despite their bloodshed, these failed celebrations do offer some useful lessons to those of us planning weddings outside the the Seven Kingdoms.

Launching a wedding planning company for the first time would have made most sense in her own backyard of Toronto, Canada. Unless you know Larissa. During the summer of 2001, she trekked with an Alberta-based film production company to Costa Rica and fell in love with Roberto Leiva, a Costa Rican actor.

Larissa Banting of El Bee PR Consulting gives expert advice on how to go about pitching journalists directly:

"Reach out to a journalist who covers your topic. Follow them on Twitter, comment on their Tweets, share their stories and build up a relationship. When you pitch a story to them, come at it from the standpoint of sharing something that would be of interest to their audience. Have the story angle crafted so it's interesting and well-thought out. The easier you can make the reporter's job, the more likely they will want to speak with you.
