Is it is a sin to eat in the church building? Those in the ultra-conservative Churches of Christ believe that it is. To be fair, most don't believe that the act of eating inside the church building is wrong such as when the preacher eats his lunch in the church office. Rather, it is said to be wrong to have a church organized meal in the building that will be promoted by the church where all the congregants are invited to participate. Why would anyone think that such is sinful? Generally, two reasons are given.
Do you not have houses to eat and drink in?
The first objection is based upon the passage found in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34. In this passage, Paul is rebuking the Corinthians when he said in verse 17, "Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse." Christians are supposed to meet together so that they may edify and encourage one another. However, those in Corinth were behaving so rudely toward one another it seems it would have been better had they not met together at all.
What exactly were they doing that made their assemblies so awful? Paul says that they were supposed to be eating the Lord's Supper, but they were messing it up so badly, it couldn't even be considered communion (vs 20). In what way were they corrupting the communion? Were they substituting something else for the bread or the wine? Had they turned the Lord's Supper into a common meal? No, Paul says it was simply that they weren't waiting on one another. Consider 1 Corinthians 11:20-22.
... when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper. For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
Notice that some were taking their supper ahead of others. While some were still hungry, others had already had more than enough! Based on Paul's statement about shaming those who had nothing, it would seem that those who were hungry were the Christians who were poor and lacked in this world's goods. Simply put, there were the "haves" and the "have-nots" and the "haves" were treating their poorer brethren shamefully by not waiting to eat with them and share with them. Paul described this behaviour as "division" in verse 17. So we can factually state the problem and the cause at this point.
The problem: Paul states they are corrupting the Lord's Supper.
The cause of the problem: They were mistreating one another by not waiting for others before partaking of the Lord's Supper.
Before giving the solution to the problem, Paul reminds them of how and why Jesus had instituted the Lord's Supper and warned that it is spiritually dangerous to partake of this memorial in an unworthy manner. The solution to the problem is found in verse 33 when Paul said, "Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another."
The solution for the problem: When they came together to eat the Lord's Supper, they were to wait for each other.
That's it. Simple! All they had to do to fix this problem was to wait for one another when it was time for communion.
Now, what about when Paul mentioned twice about eating at home (verses 22 & 34)? Doesn't this mean they shouldn't be eating meals in the place where they assemble? Isn't Paul prohibiting common meals in the church building? Not at all, but many in the right wing Churches of Christ have used these two verses as a proof text for so long to "prove" that meals in the building are sinful that it has biased them against what is really being taught in the passage. Lets notice a few things that the passage does NOT say. The passage does not say anything about a common meal. The passage doesn't say they were turning the Lord's Supper into a common meal. The passage does not say they were adding food items to the Lord's Supper (in fact, bread and wine are the only food and beverage that are mentioned). The passage never mentions a church building. Could they have been doing some or all of these things? Perhaps, but it would be merely an assumption on our part and we cannot validly conclude that any of these things were happening. The text simply does not say what was happening beyond the fact that they were not waiting for one another.
What did Paul mean when he said to eat at home? Simply put, it was to help them wait for one another when they came together to eat. In other words, if you are too hungry to wait on your brothers and sisters when you gather around the Lord's Table, then satisfy your hunger at home before arriving. Don't arrive so famished that you give in to the craving to eat ahead of the other Christians. When Paul speaks about eating and drinking in houses, he was not contrasting that with eating and drinking in church buildings. This is very simple, but many times the truth is overlooked just because it is simple.
Those who insist that verses 22 & 34 are a prohibition against eating in the church building may not realize the unintended consequences of such a position. If this is your approach, then consistency demands that your own home is the only place you can eat. Take note that you have a direct command to eat at home which constitutes specific authority and excludes eating your meals anywhere but home. Not only must you refrain from eating in the church building, but also at a picnic in the park, a meal on the go in your car, or in your favorite restaurant!
Paul clearly states the problem, cause and solution; any additional "conclusions" would be based on mere assumptions. There are a number of inferences/assumptions that one can draw about the rest of the passage (what else was going on, motivations, cliques, etc.), but none of them are necessary inferences. The fact that one can draw different reasonable inferences means that there are none that are exclusive and therefore binding.
The following words in italics are a paraphrase of what one preacher has said about eating in the church building. "If a church plans a potluck and provides the facility for the event, it is engaging in a work not authorized by the New Testament. This is what makes such an event sinful. The issue is not eating in the church building. The issue is doing a work that is unscriptural. The work of the church is spiritual, not social and there is no authority for the church to plan and facilitate a common meal. Providing common meals is not a work of the church but a work of individual Christians."
Such a conclusion is based upon an incorrect understanding of what the church is not (an entity, institution, body politic, etc.) and an incorrect understanding of the responsibility of the church. (Before proceeding further, it would be good to first read the articles "Is The Local Church An Institution?" and "Church Responsibility".) Typically, a person who considers a group meal in the church building to be sinful because such is not a work of the church believes that a local congregation is some sort of organized institution with duties and responsibilities all its own which are somehow separate from the Christians that compose the congregation. When one views the church as an institution or corporate entity of some sort, one is bound to have a skewed view of everything about it including its work.
The church is not an organization, club or corporate entity. The Greek word that is translated as "church" is "ekklesia" (ek-klay-see'-ah, Strong's #1577) and it was used to refer to a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place for the purpose of deliberating. The word is primarily used in the New Testament to describe "the assembly" of God's people. When you see the word "church", generally speaking, you could substitute it with the words "a group of people" and not change the meaning of the passage as long as we understand that this "group of people" refers to God's people. It is imperative to understand that the work that God has given the church has not been assigned to some institution. Since the church is composed of individual Christians the work of the church falls upon individuals.
Consider the quoted statement above with the word "church" substituted by the definition of the word "church". "If a church group of Christians plans a potluck and provides the facility for the event, it is they are engaging in a work not authorized by the New Testament. This is what makes such an event sinful. The issue is not eating in the church Christian's building. The issue is doing a work that is unscriptural. The work of the church a group of Christians is spiritual, not social and there is no authority for the church a group of Christians to plan and facilitate a common meal. Providing common meals is not a work of the church a group of Christians but a work of individual Christians." Doesn't it sound ridiculous when you realize what the church really is?
Everyone with whom I have ever discussed this topic who thinks it is wrong to eat in the church building says it is perfectly acceptable for a local church (group of Christians) to assemble for a potluck in a park, a home or some other facility. However, if you take the same group of people doing the same exact things and move the event to the church building, somehow sin is now taking place! What sense does this make?
The fundamental error of those who embrace this doctrine is that there is a God given work assigned to a church institution whose responsibilities are separate from individual Christians. This fallacy is evident when we hear it taught that the church can't do everything that the individual Christian can do. The distinction is therefore clear in their minds that "the church" is somehow morphed into something other than just the individuals that compose it and therefore different rules apply.
Jesus taught that those who are given responsibility will be held accountable (judged) for how they performed (Matthew 25:14-30 and Luke 19:11-27). The Bible is clear that we will be judged as individuals. Where does it say that some church organization will be held accountable? It does not. If the Bible does not teach that the local church "entity" will be held accountable for anything, then we must conclude that no responsibility has ever been given to such an institution! The church, as a group or collective unit, has no responsibilities for which it will be held accountable! The "church" (in the institutional sense of the word) has no work to do. The truth is that "the work of the church" is in reality the work of the individual. When individual Christians are working, the church is working because the church is composed of individuals. If it is not a sin for an individual Christian to sponsor a potluck, what is it about multiple Christians doing the same that makes it sinful? There is no such thing as "the work of the church" in the sense that it is used by those who endorse this creed. Therefore, this entire argument falls on its face and isn't a valid objection for eating meals organized by a local congregation.
If we study 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 without relying on unnecessary inferences, and we realize that God has given individual Christians a work to do instead of some church institution, then it becomes clear that "church" potlucks in the building are not only authorized but are actually a means of edification. Why do groups of Christians want to assemble together for a meal in the first place? Is it not to spend time with one another and to get to know each other better? Is not such an occasion a time of mutual encouragement when Christians can keep company with others who love the Lord? Is such an event not spiritually edifying? Isn't mutual edification and encouragement exactly what Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us to do? If a meal organized and facilitated by a group of Christians is okay in a home or park, it is okay anywhere.

This past February the US Department of Justice ("DOJ") and European Commission ("Commission") cleared Google Inc.'s acquisition of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. without any conditions. In contrast, on May 19, 2012 the Chinese Ministry of Commerce ("MOFCOM") approved the acquisition subject to what some observers believe were over-cautious conditions linked to a lack of experience and institutional resources.
Google Inc. is a provider of internet search and online advertising services as well as the developer of an open source (free of charge) mobile operating system called Android. Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. manufactures smartphones and computer tablets, and owns approximately 17,000 issued patents and 6,800 applications, including standard essential patents ("SEPs"). In general, SEP's are important in terms of implementing certain telecommunication standards such as 3G or 4G/LTE and WiFi and WiMax in smartphones.
After the acquisition, Google's commitments to license Motorola's patents should continue to comply with the existing fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory ("FRAND") terms of the standard setting organizations.
Google was also required to appoint an independent party to monitor its activities with regard to these three conditions. The monitoring for the first two conditions will be for the next five years and can be waived if the market changes. If Google loses control over Motorola, the second condition will become null and void. The monitoring of the third condition is indefinite.
With regard to the first condition, MOFCOM noted that Google's operating system, Android, occupied 73.99 percent of the market share in China during the fourth quarter of 2011, while Nokia's Saipan had 12.53 percent and Apple's iOS had 10.67 percent, such that Google's Android dominated the market of operating systems. For comparison purposes, the DOJ found that for the US market at the end of 2011, Google's Android accounted for approximately 46 percent of the U.S. smartphone operating system platform subscribers, Apple iOS had about 30 percent, RIM approximately 15 percent and Microsoft approximately 6 percent. MOFCOM believed that the reason Android is able to maintain such a large market share is because Google offered it on a free and open access basis. Therefore, MOFCOM reasoned, if Google starts charging for Android, this will have a negative impact in the sense that those who invested in the Android—including manufacturers of smart phones, software developers and end users—will incur additional costs. The open source aspect of Android is Google's business model. Neither the DOJ nor the Commission mentioned that Google had any plans to change the way it distributed the Android system, nor did MOFCOM refer to such plans. The Commission noted that "Google's revenue is mostly derived from online advertising and to a certain extent from mobile online advertising." MOFCOM's concern about Google's large market share is thus arguably misplaced, as the open source nature in and of itself allows all users' access to Android. The idea of providing something free of charge is a novelty and anomalous to Chinese business culture, and it may be because of this difference in business cultures that MOFCOM wanted in black and white a confirmation that Google would continue to offer the Android as an open source operating system.
With regard to the second condition, similar to the Commission, MOFCOM considered whether Google would be likely to prevent Motorola's competitors from using Google's Android operating system (the DOJ did not address this issue). However, contrary to the Commission's position that it is unlikely that Google would restrict the use of Android solely to Motorola, "given that Google's core business model is to push its online and mobile services and software to the widest possible audience", MOFCOM apparently believed that Google "is likely to" favor Motorola over other original equipment manufacturers. Again, MOCOM wanted in black and white Google's confirmation of what Google would do anyway, that it would not discriminate against other manufacturers of smartphones/tablets.
With regard to the third condition, similar to the Commission and DOJ, MOFCOM considered issues of access and strategic use of the SEPs with respect to their effects on competition. Both the DOJ and the Commission acknowledged that it is possible to misuse patents to the detriment of competition and expressed concern about how Google would exercise its rights gained through the patents, but found that the present acquisition was not indicative of how Google would use the SEPs. Both agencies were willing to take a "wait and see" approach, i.e., continue to monitor Google's use of the SEPs in the wireless device industry, particularly in the smartphone and computer tablet markets. MOFCOM took its analysis a step further and required a confirmation from Google that it would comply with the FRAND terms of licensing, similar to the previous two business activities, something Google would do anyway. Perhaps MOFCOM required this confirmation because it would be more difficult for the enforcement agencies, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration of Industry and Commerce, to monitor Google's actions in the future.
In addition, there are administrative costs related to the employment of a supervisor which Google will bear and which may be passed on to consumers. These costs include payment for the services as well as internal costs for setting up a system within Google to comply with the conditions. In the end, the comfort that MOFCOM gains with these conditions likely will be embedded in the costs borne by the consumer. Perhaps over time, as MOFCOM's experience grows, it will feel more secure in taking more of a "watch and see" as opposed to a micro-manage approach. This acquisition shows once more that for off-shore acquisitions that have been cleared by other jurisdictions, Chinese antitrust clearance is not to be taken for granted, but neither has it varied dramatically to date.

In the military world, "simulation" as learning in a model of situations probably to be confronted with in the future has been used traditionally for a very long time. Already the famous Prussian general Clausewitz stated that "no military leader can get the army really used to war combat situations. Therefore exercises in peace must be established in a manner to show typical frictions in combat situations at least partially to train every leader in judgement, prudence, and even firmness could be trained…..It is very important for every soldier may he be of high or low rank not to be confronted with a situation in combat at very first time, that leaves him astonished and embarrassed. If he only had experienced this situation once before, he is familiar with it at least halfway". In addition to field and table exercises being used for a long period of times, in modern times highly sophisticated simulation techniques have been developed to train technical and team performance skills as it is true e.g. for flight or tank simulators for combat training. In the world of medicine, highly sophisticated simulation techniques also have step by step been used since the last decades of 20th century and are now increasingly established for training in military medical services as well.
There is a training dilemma for the military medical services well known throughout the world of military medical services: The training of the military medical service members must achieve a thorough mastery of caring for combat casualties with injuries not well known in the civilian world. This training must be accomplished in a veryshort time period in preparation of military missions and doesn't allow for gaining expertise over many years. In addition, the training must be accomplished by large numbers of medical service members outranging the numbers of training opportunities in real life civilian facilities. Next to technical skills, also non-technical skills in terms of crew resource management must be trained in a manner, that deployed teams can safely accomplish their task even in life threatening combat stress situations even with repeated replacing of team members. Moreover, medical teams in combat situations must perform their medical tasks taking into account tactical necessities and the need of close cooperation with the troops, items to be included in pre deployment training as well. To resolve this training dilemma at least in major parts, the application of different simulation techniques is clearly a very useful tool.
Emanating from anatomic models used for centuries all over the world, in the 19th century first partial task trainers had been developed in parallel to the rising of modern medicine to train a special skill or a set of skills, e.g. anatomic model of parturient to train medical personal how to deliver a baby. Nowadays, modern partial task trainer cover e.g. training opportunities for airway management, intraosseous injection, invasive vascular access, handling endoscopic instruments to improve eye-hand-coordination and so on. Training goal is development of psychomotor competence in performing special skills or simple procedures. These modern partial task trainers are widely common also in training of military medical service members, can easily be used anywhere without big installation efforts and are applicable to train large numbers of trainees in short time. Repeated training of a particular set of skills can easily be performed up to drill exercises under stress. In this sense their application is very useful to resolve some of the items of the above-mentioned training dilemma.
More complex procedures and application of treatment algorithms like life support measures can be trained with mannequins technically more advanced than simple partial task trainiers. This technique gives the opportunity to perform several different tasks in one mannequin either as a single person or as a medical team. It can be used as well anywhere without special requirements regarding space and time and allows also for training of large numbers of trainees.
However, high sophisticated patient simulators are needed for a more advanced training. This high fidelity trainers allow for training of complex procedures and scenes of typical situations to be confronted with in the future, in that the instructor is able to let the simulator "respond" to the measures of the trainees. The training setting not only consists of the patient simulator but also on video-recording techniques to enable a thorough debriefing of the performance after finishing the simulation scene. This debriefing, in many cases taking much more time than the simulation scene itself, enables the trainees to watch their own performance, to get feedback from peers and instructors and to develop ideas for further development of own competency. This training setting allows not only for monitoring and improvement of technical competence as a single person or as a team but notably for monitoring and improvement of the very important non-technical skills in acting in a team, because the result of a team performance especially in medical emergency situations not only depends on the medical competence of the team members but especially on the crew resource management within the team. Topics as communication, situational awareness, shared mental model, decision-making, coping with stress and team management can be addressed by this simulation setting.
To complete simulation techniques important to military medical service, three additional methods should be mentioned. Especially in surgical pre-deployment training, it is very difficult to train the surgical treatment of typical complex combat injuries because of the lack of sufficient numbers of patients with comparable injuries in the civilian world to get enough experience. For that reason, in some countries (e.g. France, Norway) live tissue training has been established to give surgeons the opportunity to perform life saving surgical procedures. This training can be rated high-end training, is laborious and must not be performed without strict observance of the regulations of the Protection of Animal Acts of the country concerned.
Not only somatic combat injuries are typical for combat situations, the same is true for psychical disorders. To cope with those clients in acute, medical service members should be trained accordingly. Not only for specialists in psychiatry and posttraumatic stress disorder, role-play can be the adequate simulation method to train coping with affected soldiers. In role-play, actors behave as instructed by the trainer and have to be dealt with by the trainees. In this setting too, profound debriefing is one of the major elements in the training.
A completely different simulation method deals with virtual reality. Service members of medical services have typically grown up with computer games and are familiar with entering into a completely virtual world. Using this experience and translating it into training exercises has forced the development of serious games. Using this method, cognitive skills can be trained as in the "virtual military hospital" of the medical service of the German Bundeswehr e.g. for tropical diseases that are very rare in Germany. However, not only cognitive skills are in the focus of the training with serious games, decision making on different levels of complexity in combat situations and other items of management and leadership can also be trained. Using World Wide Web as the platform and in future even apps for smart phones, this training can be performed by the trainee anywhere and at any time. Serious games have also the potential to be interactive so as to react to the inputs of several "players" in the same game session and to resemble the sometimes-unforeseeable development of a given situation. Just being in the initial developmental phase, serious games training has the potential to grow up to one of the major simulation methods addressing the preferences of the younger generation.
Above presented simulation methods should be integrated into the training course from novice to combat ready military medical service member. In the beginning, there is the individual training, starting with basic and advanced knowledge of medical subjects as well as basic skills and simple procedures. In this growth state, serious games can be used to teach medical subjects not available in real patients in the every day experience. Virtual realities can assist in fixation of and "playing" with necessary knowledge in an environment felt as "just playing a game". Basic and advanced technical skills can be trained with partial task trainers even with increasing levels of difficulties and different challenges of surrounding conditions. After completing this level, technical skills and acquired knowledge must be composed to correctly handling more complex procedures by using mannequinst still under the perspective of individual performance.
In the next step team training with team members of different medical professions comes into consideration. Initially, medical team performance in handling patients according to proposed algorithms like ACLS or ATLS may be trained with mannequins allowing for application of the proposed measurements according to the algorithms. However, additionally to the medical technical skills, in this training state reaction of the "simulator" to the applied measures come into focus as well as above mentioned non-technical skills regarding crew resource management. For this reason, high fidelity patient simulators with profound debriefing capabilities are essential. For surgical teams, live tissue training can be suitable to handle complex injuries under the stress of real pathophysiologic developments as well as to train a surgical team or even an interprofessional team of surgeons and anaesthesiologists in respect of crew resource management, highly important for the fate of injured combat casualties in the field.
Finally training courses must be completed by situational training. In this training stage, trainees must be enabled to integrate their acquired knowledge and competence into typical situation to come in consideration of all surrounding conditions including stress factors. Those can be the need of bearing in mind tactical considerations interfering with the application of the regular treatment algorithms, lack of personnel or material in respect of the numbers of injured to be cared of, bad weather or light conditions (e.g. working in extreme temperature or at night) and so on. In this stage mobile high fidelity patient simulators can be integrated into field exercises for training of medical service members as well as troops in handling with combat casualties under described conditions. However, also serious games are a very useful tool in dealing with the subjects of how to manage greater numbers of combat casualties in preparation of military field exercises.
Integration of simulation methods into training courses could be further developed in several important directions. As mentioned above, military medical service members don´t work isolated but are integral part of military entity with members of other branch of services, may it be a within an army platoon or as part of the crew of an Forward Airmedevac helicopter. Especially in the latter situation, simulation techniques could be combined to train cockpit crew as well as medical crew in the back in regard of mutual understanding the rules of operations in each branch and the need of shared decisions in favour of best performance of a given task. Those simulation trainings possibilities combining military medical service with several branches of services can easily be identified for many situations.
The last years have shown us that in military medical service there is a tendency to multinational cooperation. Even with the idea of sharing common roots of culture e.g. for european and american nations and performing in respect of the same scientific basis of modern medicine, there are differences in every day culture not least in military based on different socialisation processes during education and training. Working together on a combat casualty in an emergency situation using English as common but mostly foreign language, the "minor" cultural differences often unaware to persons involved may be the source of major trouble with unfavourable outcome. To address these intercultural problems, NATO Centre of Excellence for Military Medicine has inaugurated a multinational training program (NATO Emergency Medical Predeployment Team Training (EMPT)) held at the Bundeswehr hospital in Hamburg, Germany. In the pilot training in January 2012, multinational trainees highly appreciated this simulation training and felt to be more sensitive to differences in working together with multinational peers. This training will be held twice a year in Hamburg.
At last, not only medical performance or integration of medical objectives into military scenarios may be the aim of training. On every level of medical service entities from battalion physician troops to field hospitals and medical task forces, there are always officers in charge as leaders and managers. Confronted with many challenges they have to decide precisely and manage as well major medical incidents or unfavourable conditions as problems with subordinates or awkward persons. Even for this individual training of leaders, simulation methods could be useful. Serious games are suitable to simulate difficult situations in respect of dealing with military medical tasks and can be used to integrate the inputs from other branches of services in real time simulation. Role-play on the other hand can be a very useful tool to confront a leader to negotiate with awkward persons and train him how to manage those situations.
Simulation methods have already developed as integral part of training in military medical service. They cannot resolve all problems of the training dilemma but can be an essential part of hybrid training combining real life experience with simulated situations. Simulation methods have a high potential to further development and should be expanded into additional training areas.

Westlake for Ukraine rally
Ella Marcum|March 23, 2022
WHS students have been hard at work to show support for Ukraine due to the recent war in Ukraine against Russian forces after they were invaded on Feb. 24, 2022.
Emma Fishman '22 organized a rally on the corner of Westlake Blvd. and Thousand Oaks Blvd. in order to actively show support for Ukraine.
"Our main goal is to show support for anyone who is Ukrainian in the community or anyone who is affected by it," said Fishman. "A rally is our way to conceptualize our support instead of just thinking about it."
The rally is not to be confused with a protest — while both a rally and protest shows support, Fishman's intentions differ from that of a protest.
"I thought about what I wanted to do and I realized that most everyone is in support of Ukraine," said Fishman. "Because everyone is opposed to what Russia is doing, I didn't feel the need to protest but instead rally support for Ukraine."
Fishman organized the rally in order to give people an opportunity to support Ukraine, especially those who are limited to their means of supporting, such as high school students.
"We encourage everyone to come," said Fishman. "I wanted to find a way to show support for Ukraine but there's not much we can do here to volunteer because everything is going on overseas and I don't have a lot of my own money to donate."
The first rally that took place on March 4th was a success with about 20 students showing up in support.
Rallies will take place every Friday on the corner of Westlake and Thousand Oaks Blvd. from 2:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information, follow the instagram account @westlakeforukraine.
Unfortunately, because of scheduling, not everyone may be able to make it to the rally. But overall, supporting Ukraine can consist of small actions that can make a big change.
"As students, we can [support] by educating ourselves and spreading the word," said Ukrainian–American student Anya Alksnina '24. "Take the time to research what's really going on in Ukraine. It's important to know what's really at stake here and what consequences the war will have on the rest of the world."

If given a choice – high traffic+low conversions Vs low traffic+high conversion. What would you choose? Now, factor in Organic SEO Vs Paid Ads. Now factor in Time Vs Cost. Again, factor in 'keyword' competition Vs conversions.
How do you know that your digital marketing strategy works? Usually, if sales are robust, you know that you're doing something right. It's important, however, to recognize when things don't run smoothly and take action before they affect revenue. Here are few important signs that you need to look for when you check your digital marketing strategy for effectiveness.
If your website attracts many visitors, but no one sticks around to convert, It's a sign that your marketing approach Is attracting the wrong kind of people. What you need to do, then, is to try conversion rate optimization to improve conversion. Analyze your customers' behavior once they get on your website. How much information do they look for, how long do they stay, and at what point do they decide to leave? There's a lot that you can learn from the way your visitors behave.
If you have been tracking how your website has been doing, you may notice at some point that your website no longer performs well on Google. While such a drop in rankings could occur for many reasons, you need to rule out all the obvious causes. You need to make sure that all the links on your website won't well, and your pages are internally linked to one another. If you also want to use one of the various tools available online to see how each page on your website ranks for the specific keyword that you are working with. When it's clear where you going wrong, you'll be better equipped to fix the problem.
Writing optimized for search is an intensely time consuming process. Finding the right mix of keywords that provide a balance in search traffic, competition, & CPC costs included.
When researching search engine optimization (SEO) tactics, you may come across private blog networks (PBN). Defined as a network of multiple blogs or websites linking to a single website, webmasters have been using them for over a decade to achieve higher search rankings While popular, though, PBNs aren't always effective for SW purposes in fact, using them could spell turmoil for your website's visibility on Google and Bing.
A PBN Is a collection — uarally about to to too — of privately owned or operated websites that contain baddinks pointing to a single high-priority, commercially focused website known as a money website. The PBN websites pass link juice to the money website, manipulating search engines into thinking the money website is more popular than it really is when search engines crawl the PBN websites, they'll discover backlinks pointing to the money website, which could compel them to increase its rankings. Using a PBN may sound like an effective to pass link juice to your money website, thereby improving your site's search rankings.
If you manage your network of blogs or webSrtes you'll have full control over the backlinks published on them. Most webmasters use expired domains to btild their PBN because they are more authoritative than new domains if a domain recently expired, it may already have bad links pointing to It, in which case it will pass some of that link juice to the webmaster's money website when used in a PBN.
While not as popular as their PBN counterparts, there are also public blog networks. A public blog network is the same as a PBN except It's operated by multiple people. Public blog networks are less effective for SEO than PBNs since they contain more outbound links to a variety of money websites Additionally, the transparent nature of public blog networks means search engines can Identify them more easily.
"Every page matters." Mobile scores deem to be optimized as well, which usually takes 10x the efforts.

Grand tour is een studioalbum van Big Big Train De band nam het album op in hun eigen geluidsstudio English Electric Studio, de gerenommeerde Abbey Road Studios en Real World Studios. Nick D'Virgilio nam zijn partijen op in zijn eigen Sweetwater Studios. Het album heeft een centraal thema in de zogenaamde Grand tour, kunst- of wetenschapreizen in de 17e en 18e eeuw naar de klassieken. De band deed daarmee een stapje buiten hun gangbare basis; het Britse landschap. De platenhoes ontworpen door Sarah Ewing laat de Romeinse god Apollo met een lier zien.

Na dit album nam Big Big Train wat gas terug. Er kwam een album uit met restmateriaal van eerdere opnamen; een soloalbum van Longdon (Dyble Longdon) en een soloalbum van d'Virgilio (Invisible).

Nummers
Novum Organum is de inleiding tot de muzikale reis. Alive gaat over het op stap gaan; de kalkrotsen van Dover achter je laten. The Florentine gaat over Leonardo da Vinci. Roman stone is de eerste suite (delen 1: Foundation; 2: Rise; 3:Ne plus ultra; 4: Fall; 5: Legacy) behandelt de opkomst (rise) en ondergang (fall) van het Romeinse Rijk. Pantheon gaat over het Roomse Pantheon. Theodora in green en gold voert terug op de mozaïeken in de San Vitale in Ravenna. Ariel is de tweede suite (1: Come unto these yellow sands; 2: Noises, sounds and sweet airs; 3:New place; 4: Of there are spirits of the air; 5: Music, when soft voices die; 6: Casa Magnia, 1822; 7: Approach, my Ariel, come; 8: Coda: triumph of life) waarvan het eerste stuk gaat over de verdrinkingsdood van Percy Bysshe Shelley in de Golf van La Spezia. De suite wordt opgevolgd door weer een suite Voyager, dat als basis diende voor het album. Het zevendelige stuk (1: On the ocean; 2: The farthest shore; 3: The pillers of Hercules; 4: Further beyond; 5: Grand finale; 6: The space between the stars; 7: Homecoming) maakt een vergelijking met bovenstaande reizen met de ruimtereizen van Voyager 1 en Voyager 2; erop uit om de wereld, het zonnestelsel verder ontdekken. Homesong is het feest der herkenning als men weer thuis is ("we are home now").

Ontvangst
De ontvangst binnen de niche van de progressieve rock was goed, maar ook daar buiten werd het redelijk ontvangen met recensies in The Times en Daily Express. In alle gevallen werd er gewezen op de muziek van Genesis uit het Peter Gabrieltijdperk; mede veroorzaakt doordat de stem van Longdon op die van Gabriel lijkt. Het verband met Genesis en Gabriel is voorts terug te vinden in het boekwerk Genesis 1867 to 1975 the Peter Gabriel Years, waarbij Spawton een van de uitgevers was. Drummer Nick D'Virgilio heeft ook een Genesis-verleden; zijn eerdere band Spock's Beard werd ook met Genesis vergeleken en hij speelde mee op Calling All Stations van Genesis. Het album Grand tour wist in Engeland een 35e plaats te veroveren in de albumlijst.

Musici

David Longdon – zang, dwarsfluit, aanvullende toetsinstrumenten, gitaren
Dave Gregory – gitaar
Greg Spawton – basgitaar, baspedalen
Rikard Sjöblom – gitaar, toetsinstrumenten, achtergrondzang
Danny Manners – toetsinstrumenten
Rachel Hall – viool, achtergrondzang en strijkarrangementen op Voyager (samen met Manners en Spawton)
Nick D'Virgilio – drumstel, percussie, achtergrondzang, medeleadznag op Theodora in green and gold, aanvullend toetsen- en gitaarwerk.

Madagascar: Two French nationals have been arrested on suspicion of plotting to assassinate the president
Bruno Sims July 22, 2021 2 min read
The Madagascan prosecutor's office has declared a failed assassination attempt on President Andrei Rajolina and arrested several "foreign and Malagasy" people. Two of these individuals arrested were French, which we learned on Thursday from a diplomatic source.
"Several foreigners and Malagasy nationals were arrested on Tuesday as part of an investigation into the attack on state security," Attorney General Perth Rasafarivoni told reporters Wednesday evening.
"According to the material sources at our disposal, these individuals have devised a plan to eliminate and neutralize various Malagasy personalities, including the head of state," the lawyer added, without elaborating further on these sources or circumstances. Arrests.
"At this stage of the ongoing investigation, the Attorney General's Office is making sure that all the light on this case is exposed," he added.
Already a failed assassination attempt
In the name of the two Frenchmen arrested, their wives have also been taken into police custody, along with their former officers, Philip F. and Paul R. According to a file of companies based in Madagascar, Philip F runs an investment and consulting firm called International Investors in Madagascar. Several sources suggest that this former colonel of the French army may have settled on the island in early 2020.
Paul R., a Franco-Malagasy, is well acquainted with President Rajolina, of whom he was a diplomatic adviser until 2011. On the Internet, he presents himself as a consultant to the Diocese of Antonanarivo. It is the responsibility of the people to use their name without an express order. "Born in 1963, he was the captain when he left Gendermary in 1994, according to a French Gendermary source.

During the Independence Day celebration Of MadagascarOn June 26, Gendermary had already announced that an assassination attempt on General Richard Ravalomanana, the president's right-hand man in charge of Gendermary, had failed.
One of the countries The poorest in the world, Madagascar has faced many severe political crises for 20 years. The Big Island has almost been shut down since the Govt-19 epidemic, and famine has now hit a region south of the country.

English is commonly used in Malaysia's business environment and it's no surprise that the country is declared as the second best in English proficiency level in Asia after Singapore and is ranked at 13th among non-native English speakers around the world according to the latest 2017 EF English Proficiency Index.
The ranking which evaluates the proficiency of English language from 80 countries which English is the second or third language of the population saw Malaysia scored 61.07 and is categorised under the 'High' category, just a few points away from Singapore which scored 66.03. The score moved up from 2016's EF English Proficiency Index in which Malaysia scored 60.70.
In spite of the progress it made in the index, it looks like there may be rooms for improvement for Malaysians when a notice full of broken English and grammar mistakes went viral on the Internet.
Recently, the notice which was written in poor English contains a noticeable amount of grammar errors.
He further said, "If there was carelessness involved, and the errors were made without thinking of the consequences, we will take the necessary action," A show-cause letter and stern warning would be issued against the employee.
However, this is not the first time such notice is written in Asia.
We are not sure if some of these notices were purposely written in an unusual use of English but we sincerely hope that notices intended for public will be carefully proofread in the future.

Welcome to Skills for Accounting Research 4e!
Increasingly, accounting research and communication skills are being regarded as fundamental to success in accounting. Professionals who excel in these areas will likely experience a distinct competitive advantage relative to their peers. At the same time, in today's highly regulated business climate, the consequences of inadequately researching and documenting accounting judgments can be severe (e.g., PCAOB or SEC enforcement actions). Recognizing the importance of research skills, research simulations are now a key component of the national CPA exam. What's been missing, until now, is a high-quality, hands-on textbook that can teach students these important skills.
Skills for Accounting Research, 4e, is intended to serve as the primary text for graduate and undergraduate courses dedicated to accounting research. The book may also be used to supplement materials used in an intermediate or advanced accounting course. Collins' practical examples and exercises challenge students to actively learn while they read, moving them beyond simply understanding, to critically thinking about and applying accounting issues. The text also includes two chapters uniquely dedicated to effective professional documentation and communication. Practitioners and staff training programs can benefit from the research and communication strategies covered in this book.
Use of the FASB Codification as the key research tool throughout the text, including screenshots and primary source excerpts from the Codification, will give students an understanding of how research applies to the analysis of actual accounting issues and practical knowledge of how to use FASB guidance in their research efforts.
Chapter 4 covers communicating in written form including drafting effective emails and preparing research memoranda. Chapter 13 covers creating and delivering effective presentations.
A chapter is dedicated to the understanding of the global standard setting environment, international accounting and auditing standards, and the relevance of these standards to U.S. accounting practitioners.
This feature offers students in-chapter opportunities to practice the skill being discussed. It follows major topic areas and offers immediate reinforcement of the subject matter.
Each chapter begins with an opening vignette that uses chapter content in a scenario highlighting a research problem faced by a beginning researcher. The intention is an immersive experience for the student at the outset of the topic, inspiring in students' an enthusiasm for learning the topic.
Additional assignments and video examples have been added to MBC.
The text includes new, current and real-world case studies of varying difficulty level – including cases building upon the stadium example. Cases place increased emphasis on the use of professional judgment.


With the number of job boards increasing rampantly day by day, so have come up the increased use of different kinds & types of recruitment softwares. It is in this context and connection that an automated candidate management system (CMS) is so very crucial. Now CMS can be simple recruitment tools to large systems that incorporate interview scheduling, email tracking, personnel tracking, EEOC compliance, talent pool filtering and plenty more. The best of these systems have the ability to increase communication between the recruiters and the candidates. However, rather unfortunately; for today's managers who are already more than overburdened so to speak the number of recruitment tools is growing almost directly proportionately to the ever-rising pool of applicants.
1. Assessing Your Present Process- The first step always is of course determining how much one needs and most obviously how much one can afford.
2. Outline Your Requirements- The following step is definitely reviewing the company's recruitment soft spots. You have to think on your toes that what are the types of candidates that you would want to have more in numbers in your company. For instance, if your company's predominant focus is in recruiting top-class educated and highly qualified candidates then it certainly makes a lot of sense to attract the best talents keeping them engaged throughout on course of the entire recruitment process.
Again, if you are evidently spending a lot of your time in evaluating candidates and as a result of that your regular workflow is getting disturbed then you have got to look for recruitment softwares having the capability to streamline the recruitment process and eradicate HR tasks to a large extent. You have also got to take under consideration the responsibilities and roles that you are to deliver and fulfil respectively on a routine basis. It is only after assessing the same you can go on and choose the right recruitment software that best fits them. You also need to have a list of the niche job boards being used for finding and searching potential candidates.
Then you need to check whether the software automatically posts to those job boards or not for there have been many a sector of late like that of finance, tech, healthcare and the likes where CMS have been developed keeping in mind specifically the HR needs of the concerned sector. Also not to forget to make a list of the essential functionalities like for say, whether it is more important for you to have a recruitment software that keeps away or at least lessens your HR burden by performing a number of activities and select the best of candidates for you or the one that helps you immensely in your recruitment-analytics. As you begin your quest for the most perfect recruitment software for your agency, keep the focus on your most important priority and act accordingly.
3. Consider the Scale- Previously, in the yesteryears; stand-alone ATS (applicant tracking system) and CMS were separated but these days almost all CMS is endowed and equipped with ATS functionality. The payment options need to be considered as well. If and when your company is on the verge of growing, you would like to have a tool that's scalable and at the same time also figure out with the vendor as to what could be the cost to further customize the tool as the workforce multiplies and the company grows in stature.
4. Evaluating Ease of Use- You should definitely consider, check and verify whether or not the product has got provision for customer support, mobile access and also how frequently the product gets updated and so on.
5. Getting an outsiders point of view- Reading authentic reviews of customers who have used the software before especially from B2B websites and not blindfolded going by reviews on the respective vendor's website is the ultimate trick in ending up with a very good recruiting software more often than not.
6. Reaching out to the Vendors- If you already know someone personally or have good professional contact with one beforehand then it makes the job a lot easier. Otherwise, always ask for a trial version of the software so that you can have a good look at the working and functional capabilities of the same. You may also go one step further and approach the vendor to directly provide you with one of its customers with whom you can have a chat with concerning the various aspects and use of the software. This way you ensure that you choose a good vendor with good services.
7. Convenience- Convenience undoubtedly goes down as one of the high time factors no matter for what purpose you are choosing a software. Doesn't matter what is your predominant goal with the software and what fundamental objective it is there to fulfil, it must be convenient at any cost so that it can be used smoothly by all in a hassle-free manner. It is the convenience that would enable and encourage users of the company to use the software tool more and more to their advantage.
8. Integratability with other Services- Regardless of whatever recruitment software you buy, it must be well-integrated to other systems of your framework. Mostly, the integratability would be with that of your company's website so that candidates can be sourced directly from the company website. On some other instance, you may be looking to connect the recruiting software with various business platforms, social media channels, CRM and email. Thus, there is no denying that the recruiting software needs to be one tool which seamlessly integrates with other platforms with ease.
9. Provides super candidate experience- Irrespective of the recruitment software chosen, the experience it provides should be top-notch. It has got to give candidates a good experience and so as to the recruiters so that both parties can have a hassle-free and smooth experience. This way not only it becomes easy for the recruiting agency but also gives the candidates a good overall experience which in turn & ultimately upholds the reputation of the company in front of the candidates making them come and apply for different posts in the future time and again without feeling disappointed or let down on moral.
10. Meeting compliance needs- This is a very important factor and needs to be taken care of for it is indeed very critical that the recruitment software thus selected and opted for meets the compliance requirements all the time. Failure to comply with that of the compliance guidelines can so very often lead to plenty of paper work along with the chances of your company or organization being penalized heavily.
Thus, a congeries of factors is there that needs to be taken care of prior to choosing a recruitment software. The software finally or eventually chosen must be the one that gives the company or organization the best of possibilities pertaining to its requirements. With the right recruitment software not only does the recruitment process gets expedited and becomes very comfortable but side by side it also helps and does good to the organization or the company in so many ways.

UN conference sees blitz of pledges to protect ailing oceans
MS20220629_B2
A major UN conference on how to restore the faltering health of global oceans kicked off in Lisbon this week with a flurry of promises to expand marine protected areas, ban deep-sea mining, and combat illegal fishing. UN chief Antonio Guterres set the tone Monday for the five-day meet by warning that the world's oceans are in deep crisis. "Today we face what I would call an ocean emergency," he told thousands of policymakers, experts, and advocates, detailing how seas have been hammered by climate change and pollution.

New iPhone Leak 'Confirms' Significant Design Decision
Gordon Kelly Senior Contributor
I write about technology's biggest companies
We know the iPhone X will not last long, but now it seems Apple has already given the first cancellation order. And the source could not be more credible...
Newly published papers by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reveal Apple scrapped a third variant of the iPhone X just prior to launch. Apple filed paperwork for a gold edition (similar to the gold iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) to the FCC in September, but the model never made it to market.
iPhone X SE (aka iPhone SE2) concept
Concept Creator
We know this because Apple's six-month confidentiality clause with the FCC just expired. Given Apple's passion for secrecy, it is seemingly unthinkable that the company would go ahead with a belated launch after the variant was already revealed to the world.
We will never know why Apple pulled out of this launch. But it seems safe to say production issues (which hit the iPhone X hard prior to launch) probably played a factor, while Apple was unlikely to take a risks with any durability issues after complaints with the Jet Black editions of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
In fact, I'm willing to bet quite heavily on the latter as Apple failed to release this gold edition even after production constraints were lifted while the iPhone X was also left out of the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus refreshes last week. Given the iPhone X is unique in using a stainless steel frame (other iPhones use aluminium), that looks like the culprit.
Apple's FCC filed gold iPhone X, publicly revealed after non-disclosure agreement expired
Then again, this all plays into the wider narrative that the iPhone X will be cancelled in September. Unlike previous iPhone models, it is understood Apple has no desire to sell the iPhone X at a reduced price after launching its new models because it will clash with an all-new iPhone X SE at this lower price point.
And that is just one of three iPhone X-inspired new models coming soon.
I suspect with its next generation, Apple will have worked out how to paint the iPhone X any colour it likes…

Touch the Jungle is a rain forest wildlife and habitat protection project focusing on the Chocó Bio-region of Ecuador, South America. The main interests of this project are:
• Protect threatened rainforest habitats
• Protect, rescue, and rehabilitate native animals.
• Empower local people to preserve the rainforest and protect its wildlife.
These goals are interdependent. Wildlife cannot survive without habitat. The habitat cannot survive if the local people don't protect it. The local people cannot survive without wildlife and the forest. Yet extreme poverty and lack of jobs cause many communities to accept the offers of loggers and miners just to provide their families with the necessities of life. Touch The Jungle supports community projects such as health care and education, and assisting them in developing environmentally-friendly sources of income such as ecotourism.
Website: www.touchthejungle.org
Earthways began supporting projects in Ecuador in 1996. The first was Permacultura America Latina, (PAL) which was working to introduce the principals of permaculture (organic agriculture) in northwest Ecuador, one of the country's poorest regions. In the same area (San Lorenzo), Earthways funded a women's poultry cooperative. Then, the project moved deeper into the Chocó rainforest to the Afro-Ecuadorian community of Playa de Oro and became known as "Touch The Jungle" or "TTJ". From 1997 to 2008, we provided multiple forms of assistance to the community to enable it to develop and operate a low-impact jungle lodge, which in turn would not only give the community a small sustainable income, but would permit it to protect the 10,500 hectatres of near-virgin rainforest to which it held title. In 2009, the European Union began providing support to Playa de Oro in exchange for protection of its forest (by that time the only rainforest along Río Santiago that had not been clearcut!).
In 2007, TTJ began to work in the Intag Valley because local people, mostly indigenous Quecha, have fought valiantly to keep multi-national copper mines from destroying this magnificent Andean valley. Their non-violent resistance contributed to a change in Ecuadorian laws related to the rights of the environment. With very little outside help, Intag residents, who are scattered on small farms and tiny villages up and down the valley, initiated projects aimed at creating sustainable sources of income to counter the false promises of mining wealth. They formed a community conservation organization called DECOIN (Defensa Ecologica y Conservacion de Intag). Through DECOIN, communities set up an organic coffee-growing cooperative, built a community-managed eco-lodge, organized a women's crafts co-op, and are buying acreage cooperatively with the intention of getting those lands designated as "community forests" where mining is not permitted. Touch The Jungle began supporting DECOIN in these various efforts to keep copper mining out of the Intag region.
Ongoing Efforts in the Intag Valley of Ecuador:
In 2010, TTJ partnered with DECOIN on the completion of a "distance learning center" near the village of Junin, where teens and young adults, who were unable to attend regular school due to having to help their family on the farm, could go on weekends to attain a high school education. TTJ continues to support environmental educational classes by DECOIN in many elementary schools in the region, and any other environmental issues that arise.
In 2011, TTJ was made aware of the need for a high school in the Apuela region for teens and young adults. TTJ agreed to take on the school project to help provide an education to locals, which ultimately helps them continue to fight against mining and provide them with better jobs in the future. Earthways donors provided the majority of the $50,000 school construction cost, with the rest of the funding raised in donations by TTJ volunteers and the local students. The school, named "Sienta la Selva" by the locals, opened for the 2014 fall semester with 104 students enrolled for the first semester. The school is not merely a place where they can earn a high school diploma but is also a center for environmental education, with classes in organic agriculture, animal husbandry, artisan crafts, watershed management, and wildlife rehabilitation.
TTJ also provides several eco-tour groups each year to help support community-owned eco-lodges and other locally owned facilities in Intag and other regions of Ecuador. The tours provide donors with a way to see the projects they have been supporting while visiting this extraordinarily beautiful valley high in the Andes.
