What follow are a number of stories detailing some tragic events that have occurred in Horbury over the years. There are no recent Horbury tragedies recorded here simply because of the need to respect the privacy of living relatives. That said, the old newspaper archives give us plenty of stories from the 19th Century, which we hope will be of interest to local people.
Constable Joseph Berry
Joseph Berry was baptised on 26th July 1795, at St Peter's Church, Horbury his father was Benjamin Berry, a shoemaker.
In the 1841 census we find Joseph, age 45, a shoemaker, living on New Road, Horbury with his wife Charlotte and children, Benjamin 15, Sarah 14, Ellen 12, Alfred 4 and David 1.
Sometime after this census, Joseph became a police constable in Horbury and was called to investigate the case of Mr. Edward Craven and his daughter Emma, allegedly concealing the death of an infant she had recently given birth to. This unfortunate incident eventually led to Joseph Berry's incarceration in a mental hospital in York and his death by suicide. An account, can be read below:
Joseph Berry had been the constable for less than a year and his death was mourned around Horbury. According to the "Leeds Intelligencier" of 17th September 1849, he had always been "a very honest, sober, industrious and peaceable man."
Constable Berry's troubles began when he went to interview Thomas Nettleton about the concealed death and he refused to divulge any information to him. Rumour and speculation began to circulate around the town. Thomas Nettleton was arrested, but let go on the proviso he produced the baby's body the next day, which he did. Whilst at Wakefield arranging the inquest, news reached Constable Berry that Edward and Emma Craven had left and that he was to blame for not arresting them.
This understandably caused Constable Berry some distress. A post mortem was carried out on the baby by Dr Greenwood of Ossett. At its conclusion, word reached them that Edward Craven had been seen at his house. Constable Berry went at once and arrested him, leaving him in the custody of George Rayner, the deputy constable.
Unfortunately for Constable Berry, Edward Craven somehow managed to escape! This news was too much for him. Great mental anguish caused him to falsely conclude that he would be sent to prison and his family ruined. Setting off in the pouring rain, he searched Normanton, Wakefield and Oakenshaw Stations, trying to stop Edward Craven catching an early train.
Returning home and attending the inquest, it was clear that Constable Berry was in a very weak state, both mentally and physically. In the following days he became quite deranged and attempted to take his own life three times. His family stepped in and cared for him until he could be sent to the York Asylum.
Joseph Berry was admitted to the lunatic asylum at York (Bootham Park) Hospital on the 21st August 1849 and tragically succeeded in taking his own life 5 days later, aged 54. He was buried at St Peter's, Horbury on the 29th August 1849. I have not found his headstone.
The census of 1851 shows a widowed Charlotte Berry living on Cluntergate, Horbury with her children and two boarders: Philip Milner aged 16 years and William Yealand aged 19 years, both cordwainer's (shoemaker's) apprentices. Eldest son Benjamin is a cordwainer employing three men. By 1861, Charlotte was living in Leicester with her son David and his wife. She died in Leicester in 1876, aged 76.
This was posted to Horbury & Sitlington History Group by Mark Howarth on the 19th March 2018:
"16th Aug1849
EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT HORBURY. The quiet village of Horbury, near Wakefield, bas been thrown into a state of great excitement by a painful occurrence that has come to light within the past week. An independent gentleman of the name of Craven lived in the village in respectable style. He was a bachelor, and a young lady lived with him as housekeeper, who was known as Miss Craven, and was reported to be his natural daughter.
In the middle of last week a report prevailed that this young person had given birth to a child, which bad been made away with; and that the body had been found buried in the plantation belonging to the house. The report was of course not long in coming to the ears of the constables, who instituted proper inquiries, traced the report to a man who bad seen the body of the child, and then informed the Coroner, who thereupon directed that an inquest should be held forthwith.
Accordingly on Saturday last, the body of the child having been produced, an inquest was held over it at the Fleece Inn, when the following extraordinary facts were elicited in evidence:Thomas Nettleton said 'l live at Horbury, and am a butcher. I was told by Ellen Sykes [Mr. Craven's servant] that she saw Mr. Craven burying something in the plantation, and in consequence I went to the place. I took some earth up with my hands, and found a bundle wrapped in brown paper. I took it up and opened it, and found a new born child. I made another hole and buried it again. I showed it to Ellen Sykes before I buried it. It was a boy. This was on Tuesday morning. I was called upon by Mr. Roger Hirst, Mr. Joseph Berry and Mr. John Gee, on Friday morning. They are constables for Horbury and asked me to meet them at the Fleece Inn, in
Horbury, and to bring the bundle I had found.I went and dug up the bundle and brought it to the Fleece. I laid it on the table in the room in the presence of the constables and other persons. I left it with them. Ellen Sykes told me not to say anything, so I did not mention the finding of the child to the constable nor to any one. Ellen Sykes told me she saw Mr. Craven digging something; she told me she suspected something was up. I never denied I knew anything about the child, or had it in my possession. I groom and work occasionally for Mr. Craven.'
Ellen Sykes, upon her oath, said: 'l an a single woman. I was servant to Mr. Edward Craven, but was discharged last Thursday by Miss Craven. Mr. Craven is a bachelor. Miss Craven is about 24 years old, and lives in his house as his daughter. I had been there three years the 1st of last June. Last Sunday, Nettleton asked me how Miss Craven was. I told him she was rather poorly, but nothing more. He was in Mr. Craven's yard. He asked me again on the following day. I said she was a little better ; and again on Tuesday, when I told him she was much better, recovering very nicely, and getting down stairs. Miss Craven took to her bed last Saturday; she staid in bed all day.
Nettleton said he had had many people at him - scores - saying they knew what was the matter with Miss Craven, and said he supposed I knew what was the matter with her. He said he knew all about it. This was Tuesday night and nothing passed more that night. About 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning I was milking, and Nettleton came to me in the cow house. He pulled out of his pocket a parcel of brown paper tied with band, he opened the paper, and there was something sewed up in white calico. He ripped the calico open and there was a male child in it. Be said, there was no mistake, it was a fine boy. I asked him what he was going to do with it, and he said he was going to bury it right again. I left him with it in the cow house and came away. Nothing more passed that morning. I saw him go out of the gate; he came again in the evening and I asked him what he had done with the child. He said he had buried it safe and right again, but he would not tell me where he had put it. I told him I felt very sorry that I knew anything about the case, I was so troubled in my mind - l mean by about the case, his showing me the child. I never told Nettleton I saw Mr. Craven digging or burying in the plantation, but I did tell him I saw Mr. Craven graving in the garden. By graving, I mean working in the garden since he is in the habit of doing so.
He (Nettleton) said he suspected something was up, and said he supposed I suspected. I laughed and put it off, and a little girl came in and we said no more at that time. This conversation took place on Tuesday evening. I never told Nettleton not to mention the finding of the child to anyone. It was last Monday morning, betwixt nine and ten, when I saw Mr. Craven working in the garden. Nettleton told me I was not to name it to any one that he had found the child.
At the time Miss Craven was confined to her bed I had reason to suppose she was delivered of a child. My reason for supposing so was the difference in her appearance before she was confined to her bed and after she came downstairs. She came down stairs about four o'clock last Monday afternoon. I saw the bed linen was changed and taken away. There were finer sheets on the bed than were put on before. I did not attend to her on Saturday and Sunday Mr. Craven himself attended to her those two days, but I went into her bedroom occasionally. No medical man was sent for to Miss Craven.
Mr. Craven, on Saturday, shut the inner door leading from the kitchen to the room after him, as he often does. It was betwixt twelve and one o'clock and I also heard him shut the top stairs door. I heard Miss Craven crying out as if in much pain all Saturday morning, and was very poorly. I usually made the beds and emptied the slops. I did not make the beds on Saturday and Sunday, but I did on Monday. I did not empty the slops on Saturday, but I did on Sunday. I went up stairs after dinner on Saturday to empty the slops, but I did not empty them. I did not see the chamber pot at the time I went up, but I saw it afterwards in the course of the day. The pot was empty and clean in the inside, but stained with blood on the outside.
On Wednesday night I think it was, I went into Miss Craven's bedroom; she was undressing. I saw her applying something to her breasts, but did not notice what it was. I shut the door and went away without going into her; it was bed-time, and I had my shoe's off. I had not spoken to Nettleton on Wednesday morning before he brought the child. I have looked at the piece of cloth the child is now wrapped in; it is a piece of linen cloth. The child was wrapped in calico that Nettleton produced to me on Wednesday morning.'
Joseph Berry sworn: 'I am one of the constables for Horbury. I was at the Fleece Inn yesterday morning with Hirst and the other persons, when Nettleton brought the bundle. It was in brown paper and he laid it on the table and left it so I took it into my charge. The bundle was opened in the room and when we opened the brown paper a cloth appeared. The cloth was then opened; a child, apparently new born, was wrapped in the cloth. I took the child and coverings home; the child now produced is the same as that left by Nettleton. It has been in my custody ever since. I gave the child to Mr. Greenwood to make a post mortem examination. I was present whilst he made it. After he had finished the examination, he gave it back to me. The cloth in which the child is now wrapped, is not the same as that in which it was wrapped when Nettleton brought it to the Fleece. It was changed, because the other cloth was bloody and dirty; this cloth was calico.'
Mr. George Greenwood was sworn: 'A surgeon, residing at Ossett; was sent for yesterday evening to make a post mortem examination of the child produced at this inquest. I made a careful examination last night and first examined the child externally. It is a male child, and I think the birth somewhat premature. There was a considerable flattening of the nose on the right side. The umbilical cord was clean cut, and left about three inches long untied. There were no marks of violence externally. I opened the head and found considerable disease in it; effusion of water to a great extent. I then opened the chest and found all the viscera healthy. The lungs were fleshy to the touch, not crepitous and on being put into water immediately gravitated to the bottom of the vessel. The abdominal viscera all healthy. l am of opinion the child was still born. I should think the child was within five or six weeks of the full period of utero-gestation. The flattening of the nose might be from a face presentation, and not by violence.'
The medical testimony concluded the evidence, and the coroner then went over the evidence very minutely, and directed the jury as to the law of the case. The jury returned the verdict of stillborn.
J. Stringer, Esq. solicitor, Horbury , was present on behalf of the authorities, and three other solicitors were also present to watch the inquiry. On Monday Mr. Stringer applied to the magistrates for warrants of apprehension against the parties concerned in the above offence, but the magistrates required some evidence to be produced before taking this step, and issued summonses to the witnesses already named to appear before them. This no doubt has been done, and the warrants have doubtless been granted, although we have no information to that effect. Mr. and Miss Craven have left Horbury, no-one knowing whither they are gone."
Edward and Emma Craven
The 1841 census shows Edward Craven, age 45, living at Northgate, Horbury. He is living on independent means.
On 11th December 1849, at a special Winter Assizes, Edward Craven and Emma Craven were found Not Guilty of "Concealing the birth of an infant." The report said that the lady living with Mr. Craven as his daughter was about 24 years old and that the pair left Horbury immediately afterwards.
I am unable to find Edward Craven in the 1851 census, but an Emma Craven, age 25, born at Harewood, is visiting a William Craven, 71, a corn miller and farmer of 52 acres at Idle, Bradford. Could this be her? However, the census of 1861 shows that they returned to Horbury. Edward Craven, born in Shipley in 1793, unmarried, age 67, a landed proprietor, is living at Lidget House, with his daughter Emma Craven, age 34, born at Harewood. This would seem to fit with information in the newspaper article.
Edward died later the same year and was buried at St Peter's Church on the 21st August. Emma Lister Craven, spinster was his sole executrix. But what happened to Emma? I can't find a baptism for an Emma Lister Craven but I can find Emma Lister, baptised 5th March 1826, at All Saints Church, Harewood, daughter of single woman Sarah Lister. Was Edward the father?
The year after Edward Craven died, Emma married gentleman farmer and widower, David Briggs from Goole. They married on the 7th May 1862 at St Peter's Church, Horbury. Edward Craven, gentleman was recorded as her father. The 1871 census shows David and Emma Briggs living at Grove House, Goole. David is aged 70 years and farms 59 acres. Emma is now 46. After this the trail seems to go cold. I can't find either David or Emma in the next census, nor can I find a death for either of them.

A Horbury Hanging - Two attempts to line out, and one success
From the "Leeds Times", 2nd March 1895
"On Sunday night a shocking suicide took place at Horbury. About six o'clock a platelayer named William Laister, living in New Street, retired to bed apparently in good spirits, and shortly before ten he was found hanging from the staircase quite dead. He had fastened one end of the rope, which was around his neck, to the hand-rail, and swung himself down the stairs, and his feet were almost touching the bottom stair.
One of the members of the deceased's family made the discovery. Deceased had attempted to destroy himself on the 28th July last and had to be taken to Clayton Hospital, Wakefield. Here he was found to be insane and consequently sent to the West Riding Asylum at Wakefield. After remaining there for some time he was discharged."
William Laister was 66 years of age when he died in January 1895. He was born on the 13th March 1827 in Horbury, the son of woolcomber Thomas Laister and his wife Susan (nee Dews).
Laister married Emma Downend (1834 - 1912) on the 24th February 1852 at All Saints Church, Wakefield. William signed the register, but Emma couldn't read or write and she left her mark. The Laisters were living in Back Lane, Horbury in 1861 with four children. William was working as a railway platelayer. By 1871, the Laister family has grown and there are seven children, all now living in New Row, Horbury. The three eldest boys: Joseph (16), John (14) and Enoch (12) are all working underground in a coal mine; young Enoch Laister as a hurrier. Jane Laister, aged just 9 years is already working in a mill as a piecer.
William and Emma Laister had eleven children in all, the last one Emma Laister being born in 1877. By 1891, the Laisters had moved to New Street, Horbury and there were three children still living at home: Mary (39), Susy (17) and William (15).

Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor joins NWS Fellows for an afternoon of charming chamber music. Though in his seventh decade, Leoš Janáček reflected on his Youth with whimsical remembrance in this enchanting woodwind sextet. Travel the world in Luciano Berio's 11-song cycle featuring melodies from Armenia, Italy, Sardinia and beyond that are sometimes haunting, but always beautiful. The pointed three-minute Mini Overture by Witold Lutosławski for brass quintet packs a quick but unforgettable punch before Antonín Dvořák compresses the emotions and richness of symphonies into his Second Piano Quartet, featuring an incredibly heart-wrenching second movement and frolicking finale.
Leoš Janáček was born into a musical family in Moravia, a region that now forms the eastern portion of what is now the Czech Republic. At 11 he left home for the Queen's Monastery in Brno, where he excelled as a chorister. After studies in Prague and Vienna, he established himself in Brno as a teacher, choir director, critic and musicologist. The 1904 premiere in Brno of his second full-length opera, Jenůfa, did little for his composing career, but a revival staged in Prague in 1916 finally pushed Janáček into the international limelight.
Janáček composed Mládí (Youth) in 1924, around the time of his 70th birthday. The work looked back at the composer's own childhood, with folk-like tunes and lighthearted melodies rendered in the breezy tones of a wind sextet. In his operas, Janáček mastered the technique of shaping his vocal lines to the natural contours of the Czech language; he utilized the same principle in this instrumental work, shaping the main theme to match the tone of the phrase, "Mládí, zlaté mládí!" ("Youth, golden youth!") This melody begins the sextet and reappears at key points.
The second movement is the most reserved, with its modal melody first intoned by the bassoon alone.
The third movement borrows a piccolo theme from a short work Janáček composed earlier in 1924, March of the Blue Boys, a reference to the blue uniforms he wore along with other young choristers.
The finale spins out new possibilities from the "Youth, golden youth" motive while requiring the winds to execute virtuosic, rapid-fire tonguing.
The Italian composer Luciano Berio was a leading figure in contemporary music in the second half of the 20th century, renowned for his pioneering electronic music and for his virtuosic studies for solo acoustic instruments. Another area of focus, music for the voice, owed much to his marriage to the American mezzo-soprano Cathy Berberian. Even with their divorce in 1964, they remained devoted collaborators, including their work that year on the Folk Songs commissioned by Mills College in Oakland, California, where Berio was a visiting professor.
"I Wonder as I Wander" is also by Niles; the prominent harp part contributes the steady strum of a balladeer, and then the flute and clarinet trail off in a mysterious duet.
"The Moon has Risen", an Armenian serenade to the moon, makes a nod to Berberian's Armenian heritage.
"Little Nightingale of the Woods," a French folk song, receives a spare and haunting treatment, with first clarinet alone and later harp and crotales following the free-flowing voice in its entreaty to a nightingale.
The Sicilian song "May the Lord Send Fine Weather" enunciates the strong beats with the incisive sound of spring coils struck with metal and rumbling tam-tam. The flute tremolo and trilling strings sustain the quivering emotion of a song praying for good weather for a sweetheart at sea.
Berio incorporated two of his own earlier songs, "The Ideal Woman" and Dance, composed in 1947 while he was a conservatory student. The chromatic inflections of the first song and the monosyllabic rhythms sung in the second differentiate this music from true folk material, but the simple charms and driving energy channel a rustic spirit.
"Song of Sadness," another sad song to a nightingale, uses swirling microtones, irregular percussive clicks and darting piccolo to support the mournful melody.
Berio adapted the next songs, "Wretched is He" and "The Spinner," from the Chants d'Auvergne by Joseph Canteloube (1879-1957), retaining the melodies and Occitan language of Canteloube's folksong transcriptions.
Berberian found the Azerbaijan Love Song on a 78-RPM record from the Soviet Union and she learned the song by mimicking the recording. Since she knew not a word of the Azerbaijani language and the record was severely damaged, her reproduction of the song defied translation. Berio transcribed it and created this playful, mock-militaristic finale to round out the Folk Songs.
For Witold Lutosławski, arguably Poland's greatest composer since Chopin, the path to his creative maturity was first a matter of survival. Born in Warsaw, his Polish family sought refuge during World War I in Russia, until his father was executed by a Bolshevik firing squad after the Revolution. Between the wars, Lutosławski studied piano and composition at the Warsaw Conservatory, until his own compulsory military service began. He was captured by the Germans, but soon escaped back to Warsaw; he fled again as his hometown plotted an ill-fated uprising, and he lost most of his early compositions in the destruction that followed.
From those harrowing origins, Lutosławski went on to lead a renaissance of Polish composition in the 1950s and beyond. Building off the ideas of John Cage, Lutosławski's greatest contribution was his development of aleatoric techniques, whereby certain details of pitch and timing were left to the discretion of performers. His symphonies and concertos, enriched by nuanced layering that could never have been notated precisely, remain pillars of 20th-century modernism.
Lutosławski composed the Mini Overture in 1982 as a birthday tribute to Ursula Jones, to be played by her husband's group, the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. The compact brass fanfare demonstrates Lutosławski's knack for maintaining momentum and clarity through his clever layering and dovetailing of discreet gestures.
Dvořák might have been stuck forever in Prague, underpaid and unknown to the world, had it not been for an intervention on his behalf by Brahms, who set Dvořák up with his publisher in 1877. Dvořák went on to have a tremendous impact with his symphonies and concertos, and he even embraced opera in his final years, but his smaller works for the publishing market, the kind of music that could be enjoyed at home by amateurs, remained central to his reputation. He was certainly cajoled in that direction by his enterprising publisher, Fritz Simrock, who nagged Dvořák about a promised piano quartet. Dvořák did end up delivering the Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat major, composed in July and August of 1889 and published the next year.
In grappling with the old, established forms of chamber music, Dvořák followed the example of his mentor Brahms, continuing the lineage that stretched back through Schumann and Mendelssohn to Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Within the formal structure of a sonata-allegro movement, such as the Allegro con fuoco that begins the Second Piano Quartet, Dvořák had a special gift for constructing alluring and recognizable motives. The strings begin in unison, tracing the same contour twice in a row—a stepwise ascent, a return to the starting pitch, and then a larger drop—except that the last note of each phrase is different, clouding the sense of tonality from the outset.
That four-note pattern is a touchstone throughout the movement, maintaining its strong profile even when subjected to a range of developmental transformations.
The closing material and coda work through the possibilities of that four-note phrase with a single-minded focus that would have made Beethoven proud.
The Lento that follows takes a different tack, indulging in a spacious form full of inventive and unexpected new themes. One fanciful detour descends into the drama of C-sharp minor, pivots next to a new serenity in the parallel key of D-flat major, and only then finds its way back to a restatement of the humble cello theme from the opening.
The third movement features the dancing, three-beat pulse of a waltz (or its cousin from the Austrian countryside, the Ländler). Between statements of the jolly theme in E-flat major, a piano melody based on an unusual scale adds some dark intrigue.
As in the opening movement, the finale begins with a unison statement of a strong theme, and once again it disturbs harmonic expectations. The tonality finally shifts from minor to major midway through the recapitulation, sending this quartet off with a well-deserved celebration.

Blue-faced Honeyeater
By Angela Han Birds 0 Comments
The Blue-faced Honeyeater also known as a Bananabird is a bird that belongs to the Honeyeater family. It is the only member of its genus, and there are 3 subspecies that have been recognised. These birds are found in southern New Guinea and northern and eastern Australia.
An adult Blue-faced Honeyeater
The 3 subspecies are:
E. c. albipennis – first described in 1841 by John Gould, this subspecies is found in northern Queensland, the Northern Territory, and northern Western Australia. It has white parts on its wings, and a stripe on its nape that is not continuous. It has a shorter tail and a longer bill compared to the nominate subspecies.
E. c. cyanotis – the nominate species is found from Queensland's Cape York Peninsula to as far as Victoria and south-eastern South Australia.
E. c. griseigularis – was first scientifically described by the Dutch Naturalist, Eduard van Oort in 1909. It is found in Cape York and New Guinea. It has a white patch on the wing that is bigger than the cyanotis but smaller than the albipennis forms.
The Blue-faced Honeyeater will forage in small groups of up to 7 birds in trees. However, some larger flocks of up to 30 individuals have been reported as well as a mixed-species foraging flock such as the Little Friarbird. Their diet consists of insects such as cockroaches, grasshoppers, termites, lerps, sheild bugs, scale, bark beetles, click beetles, chafers, darkling beetles, leaf beetles, weevils, spiders, ants, bees, moths, and flies. Some Blue-faced Honeyeaters have also been sighted preying on small lizards.
A Juvenile Blue-Faced Honeyeater - As this young bird matures, the yellow patch of skin above its eyes will turn the iridescent blue after which it is named.
Other than hunting on trees, they can often invade a camp-site. This is because they are friendly and inquisitive birds who also search for edible items such as milk, remnants of honey or jam, insects, and fruits.
Those who wish to keep a Blue-faced Honeyeater in an aviary in New South Wales, Australia require a licence. This licence requires the applicant to have 2 years worth of experience in keeping birds as well as having the proper facilities to house them. They can bee seen all over the world such as in the Lincoln Park Zoo, Birmingham Zoo, Philadelphia Zoo, Chessington Zoo, Taronga Zoo, and Edinburgh Zoo.

Another Tu-2 variant was the Tu-10. This was a four-crew aircraft fitted with inline Mikulin AM-39FNVs of 1850hp. Its first flight took place on 19 May 1945, and it proved to have perhaps the best performance of any Tu-2. At 8600m it attained a speed of 641km/h. Ceiling was 10,450m but range fell to 1,740km. A small batch was produced in Omsk between 1945 and 1947.

Net 4 Per Cent of Marketing and Advertising Executives Anticipate Hiring in the Third Quarter: Executives Continue to See Recruiting Challenges for High-Demand Skills, Survey Shows
TORONTO, June 14 /CNW/ - Most marketing and advertising executives plan to maintain their current staffing levels in the third quarter of 2012, according to the just-released The Creative Group Hiring Index for Marketing and Advertising Professionals. In the latest quarterly survey, 10 per cent of marketing and advertising executives plan to add full-time staff in the next three months, and 6 per cent forecast reductions in personnel, for a net 4 per cent of executives anticipating hiring. Half (50 per cent) of those surveyed said it's challenging to find skilled creative professionals today.
The Creative Group Hiring Index for Marketing and Advertising Professionals is based on more than 250 telephone interviews -- approximately 200 with marketing executives randomly selected from companies with 100 or more employees and 50 with advertising executives randomly selected from agencies with 20 or more employees. Executives are asked whether their companies plan to increase or decrease the number of full-time marketing and advertising personnel on their staff during the coming quarter. The survey is conducted by an independent research firm and developed by The Creative Group, a specialised staffing service providing interactive, design and marketing professionals on a project and full-time basis.
-  The net 4 per cent of executives planning to hire in the third quarter
is down 18 points from the second-quarter 2012 forecast.
-  Fifty per cent of survey respondents said it's challenging to find
skilled creative professionals today, down two points from the
previous quarter.
-  Web design/production, account services and social media are the
specialties in greatest demand, according to marketing and advertising
executives.
-  Ninety per cent of survey respondents report they are confident in
their companies' growth prospects for the third quarter, up four
points from the second-quarter projections.
"While many marketing and advertising executives do not expect to change staffing levels in the next three months, they are feeling confident that their companies will see growth," says Lara Dodo, a regional vice-president of The Creative Group in Canada. "This is resulting in continued demand for professionals with specific skill sets, specifically those who can help enhance their company's digital presence or manage new and established client relationships."
Marketing and Advertising Specialties in Demand
When executives were asked in which areas they plan to add staff in the third quarter, web design/production and account services ranked highest, each with 20 per cent of the response. Social media followed with 19 per cent. Fifty per cent of respondents said it's challenging for their firms to find skilled creative professionals, down two points from the second-quarter forecast.
Marketing and advertising executives were asked, "In which of the following areas do you expect to hire in the third quarter of 2012?" Their responses:
Web design/production                                20%
Account services                                     20%

Bay unemployment rises with end of summer
VALERIE GARMAN | News Herald Writer | Twitter: @ValerieGarman
PANAMA CITY — After jumping from 5.6 to 6 percent in July, Bay County's unemployment rate continued its climb in August, rising slightly to 6.1 percent.
Bay County's labor force and number of employed residents each declined by about 1,000 between July and August, according to figures released Friday by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO).
Kim Bodine, executive director of CareerSource Gulf Coast, said rises in unemployment are expected this time of year in a seasonal economy.
"Slight upticks at the end of summer are expected in our area," Bodine said. "The monthly differences are generally due to seasonal changes like the slowing down of leisure and tourism."
CareerSourceGulf Coast is the official state agency providing services to job seekers and employers in Bay, Gulf and Franklin counties. Overall, the workforce region boasted a labor force of 105,438 last month, with 6,437 unemployed residents.
"On the state and local level, we are seeing indications of ongoing economic growth in this post-recession period," Bodine said. "The transition from the tourism season is one time of the year when residents may consistently be displaced from jobs."
Of the three counties in the region, Franklin County was the only county to see a year-over-year rise in employment, from 5.3 percent in 2013 to 5.9 percent this year, Bodine said.
Overall, job growth in the Bay County area has remained unchanged over the year, due in part to a loss of about 500 jobs in the leisure and hospitality industry, something CareerSource Gulf Coast continues to dispute due to an increasing number of tourists visiting the area.
Bay County's highest rate of job growth has been observed in the professional and business services industry, which gained 800 jobs over the last year.
Statewide, the unemployment rate also ticked up slightly, from 6.2 to 6.3 percent between July and August. Roughly 602,000 Floridians were jobless out of the state's labor force of 9.61 million.
According to the DEO, Florida has added 211,200 jobs since August of last year, a 2.8 percent increase, which trumps the national job increase of 1.8 percent over the year.

Reading more diversely is my main reading goal for 2017. There are books I own that I want to read, backlist books that I have been meaning to get to for ages, and upcoming releases that promise that the future of YA is a lot more diverse than its past. These are of course not the only diverse books I want to read this year, but a place to start at least.
Have you read any of these? What did you think? Which diverse books do you want to read this year?
Great! Good luck with your own TBR!
I love that you have mapped out your diverse reads to start with. That's a great way to accomplish your goal. Good luck!
Looks like a nice list – how great to have a reading plan!
It is nice 🙂 Plus, it's an excuse to buy books!
Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda and Aristotle and Dante Discover the secrets of the Universe are absolutely wonderful and dear to my heart (I've even posed reviews on them both). You should definitely give them a read whenever you have the chance!!
Yes! I've seen so many rave reviews for both of them that I can't wait to actually get to experience them myself. I've been meaning to read them for so long…If I don't read them in 2017, it will just be ridiculous at this point.

Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and potential competitors. This analysis provides both an offensive and defensive strategic context to identify opportunities and threats. Profiling combines all of the relevant sources of competitor analysis into one framework in the support of efficient and effective strategy formulation, implementation, monitoring and adjustment.
Competitor analysis is an essential component of corporate strategy. It is argued that most firms do not conduct this type of analysis systematically enough. Instead, many enterprises operate on what is called "informal impressions, conjectures, and intuition gained through the tidbits of information about competitors every manager continually receives." As a result, traditional environmental scanning places many firms at risk of dangerous competitive blind spots due to a lack of robust competitor analysis.


The company operates on five continents with 26 manufactures around the world that have recognized and chosen Terraforce as an earth retaining system that offers design choices, unequaled by others. In return for a modest royalty they have access to substantial marketing and design information.
Says Karin Johns, Marketing director, Terraforce: "Some licensees outsource and some start their own production facilities, we can definitely assist with that decision, it does however appear that the current trend for new licensees seems to be to partner with existing precast product companies, as this does reduce start-up costs.
We provide as much technical support to all our licensees in terms of Terrsafe (https://www.terraforce.com/terrasafe-design-services/), our professional design service, and a free Terraforce design software, Maxiwall Pro (http://www.maxiwall.com/maxiwall/index.php/), as well as various other supporting technical/design documents.
In terms of marketing we work closely with most of our licensee in supporting them with print material and digital strategies as much as possible. This depends totally on how much the licensees wishes to design their own material or use that provided by Terraforce, with some customisation.
We also offer access to an extensive case study and image library that are used to support each licensee as needed. A monthly newsletter/case study is sent out by Terraforce, and most licensees send us relevant contact databases for us to add to our existing one so that our database can include these potential customers too.
An ongoing programme of development and performance tests will ensure access to new evaluation reports, case studies and innovative design software at all times. Opportunities for new licensees exist in many parts of the world.
