Enterprise software vendor Software AG has appointed Anneliese Schulz as regional president for Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ).
Schulz previously held the position of vice president of Asia at Software AG, where she helped the vendor's regional business grow by over 30 per cent year-on-year since her appointment.
Schulz's appointment as president of APJ makes her the youngest regional president in the vendor's history.
"I am delighted to announce the appointment of Anneliese as the new regional president for Asia Pacific & Japan," said Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO, Software AG, who himself joined the software vendor as recently as August 2018.
"Anneliese has demonstrated consistent performance in each of her designated roles within Software AG for the last eight years, and we are confident that her expertise in leading teams and managing business operations throughout the region will help strengthen the company's market leadership in IoT, API management, and the digital business platform space across APJ."
Based in Singapore, Schulz will succeed Mike Saxton who will now head the vendor's global alliance and channel strategy.
As APJ president, Schulz will be responsible for spearheading the vendor's business operations, expanding the partner ecosystem, and driving growth and revenue across the region.
Ever since joining the firm, Schulz has held senior leadership roles across both Europe and APJ, which included serving as leader of partner sales, alliances and channels, business development for mobile solutions and director of support services.
Prior to joining the firm Schulz was involved in sales and marketing in large technology companies such as SAP, Siemens and Original 1.
Schulz will now report directly to John Schweitzer, Software AG's chief customer officer. Meanwhile, Marco Warrens, president, Software AG Japan and Stuart Rees, vice president for Software AG Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) will be reporting to Schulz.
"Given the accelerated momentum of Industry 4.0 and digitalisation across the region, Software AG is committed to further strengthening its market strategy to ensure the sustainability and future-readiness of APJ enterprises in 2019," said Schulz.
"My key thrust is to drive the alignment of IT and business requirements, while streamlining the implementation of services such as IoT through better customer engagement across the region."
The appointment of Schulz's comes on the back of the global appointments of Bernd Gross as chief technology officer and Paz Macdonald as chief marketing officer, as part of the vendor's strategy to drive growth and enhance its go-to-market model.

A failed high school chemistry experiment resulted in nearly $60 million in damages
Posted 3:30 pm, July 3, 2019, by CNN Wire
A New York jury granted nearly $60 million in civil damages to a high school student who was severely burned in a 2014 class chemistry experiment.
The award is the culmination of a years-long lawsuit by the family of Alonzo Yanes, who was a student at New York's Beacon High School at the time of the experiment.
Yanes is still being treated for his injuries, requiring autografts to replace tissue, his lawyer said.
"He hasn't had a day without pain," lawyer Ben Rubinowitz said. "They are more than just scars on his face."
The lawsuit accused the New York City Department of Education and the Board of Education of failing to alert teachers to the dangers of the experiment, known as the rainbow demonstration.
The experiment was intended to demonstrate colors of flame produced by the combustion of various metals or salts. When Yanes attempted it in his sophomore chemistry class, it generated an explosion that caused a fire, the lawsuit states.
Several months after the incident, the American Chemical Society's Committee on Chemical Safety put out a safety alert recommending schools no longer use the experiment.
"We find it unfortunate that the Department of Education and the teacher did not step up to the plate and admit that they were careless," Rubinowitz said. "The bottom line is that the teacher completely controlled the demonstration and was responsible for the safety of all the children in that class."
The explosion left Yanes with severe burns and injuries to his upper body that required numerous operations, leaving him disfigured and with permanent scars, according to the lawsuit.
The jury awarded approximately $29 million for pain and suffering, including his surgeries, and another $29 million for future rehabilitation, Rubinowitz said.
The rainbow demonstration is no longer used in the classroom, said Nick Paolucci, director of public affairs and press secretary for the New York City Law Department.
The department is also looking at its "legal options to reduce the award to an amount that is consistent with awards that have been upheld by the courts in similar cases," Paolucci said.
In March 2014, three months after the explosion, the Committee on Chemical Safety released a statement citing a video that the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board put out in December 2013, warning of the experiment's dangers.
"When carried out on an open bench using a flammable solvent, the rainbow demonstration is a high-risk operation," committee Chairman Robert Hill Jr. said at the time.
The jury's award will help Yanes continue receiving treatment, potentially plastic surgery, his lawyer said. But it can't fix the past.
"Needless to say, the injuries suffered by Alonzo were horrific. They were life-changing and, unfortunately, disfiguring."

CALIFORNIA'S COMPETITIVENESS:
Mitsubishi Moving U.S. Headquarters From California to Tennessee
Mitsubishi Motors North America will move its U.S. headquarters from California to Tennessee by the end of the year, resulting in the loss of approximately 200 California jobs, Automotive News reported June 25.
Mitsubishi said it expects to begin its move from Cypress, California, to Franklin, Tennessee, in August.
"Mitsubishi said one reason it chose Franklin was the area's high-tech community, along with cost savings, a business-friendly work environment and proximity to Nissan," Automotive News wrote, noting that Nissan and Mitsubishi are sister companies.
The automaker has been in Southern California since the mid-1980s, first in Fountain Valley and then in Cypress.
"The move is part of an ongoing plan to reinvent every aspect of Mitsubishi Motors in the U.S., from corporate leadership to dealer partners to every touch-point in a customer's relationship with their vehicle, and will sharpen the company's focus on future growth and innovation," the company said.
The company added that the move "highlights efforts taken across the entire global landscape of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance to bring the companies closer together in key areas including procurement, development and cost efficiencies."
While most corporate departments (sales and marketing, product planning and dealer operations) will be moved, the parts distribution will remain in California.
"Mitsubishi is working with Nissan to house its parts center in a newly constructed, shared facility in Riverside, California," Automotive News reported. "About 25 people representing the western region will also stay behind."
Automotive News added: "Mitsubishi's decision is yet another loss for Southern California, referred to in 2000 as 'Motown West' for the concentration of automotive brands that based their U.S. operations there. Since then, the brands under Ford's former Premier Automotive Group – Lincoln, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo – moved back east, Suzuki stopped selling cars in the U.S. and Toyota moved to a huge campus in Plano, Texas. In addition, Nissan moved its North American headquarters from Los Angeles to Nashville in 2006, leaving behind about 60 percent of its 1,300 staffers and executives at the time. … Left in California are Honda, Mazda, Hyundai and Kia. However, fledgling Chinese brands such as GAC, Karma and Zotye have set up shop in the region."

11 Sep SAAO and MeerKAT combine to confirm the detection of a flaring black hole
Posted at 11:49h in Press Releases	by	Mark Hartman
Researchers from the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) have utilised the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory MeerKAT Telescope to confirm the existence of a never-before-seen flaring black hole.
The European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton X-Ray space telescope recently discovered mysterious X-ray flashes from the active black hole at the core of the galaxy GSN 069, some 250 million light-years away.
On 24 December 2018, the object was seen to suddenly increase its brightness by up to a hundred times, then dimmed back to its normal levels within one hour and lit up again nine hours later.
"It was completely unexpected," says Giovanni Miniutti, of the Centro de Astrobiología in Madrid, Spain, lead author of a new paper published in the prestigious journal, Nature, today.
"Giant black holes regularly flicker like a candle but the rapid, repeating changes seen in GSN 069 from December onwards are something completely new."
"The X-ray emission comes from material that is being accreted into the black hole and heats up in the process," explains Giovanni.
Although never before observed, Giovanni and colleagues think periodic flares like these might actually be quite common in the Universe. It is possible that the phenomenon hadn't been identified before because most black holes at the cores of distant galaxies, with masses millions to billions of times the mass of our Sun, are much larger than the one in GSN 069, which weighs about 400,000 times our Sun.
In order to study the radio properties of the source of these X-ray flashes, astronomers from the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) used the powerful new capabilities provided by their fellow National Research Foundation (NRF) Facility, the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO).
SAAO Astronomer's Dr Retha Pretorius and Dr Itumeleng Monageng utilised SARAO's MeerKAT Radio telescope and were able to detect the black hole at lower frequencies (1.3GHz) to complement other radio observations from ATCA (5.5 and 9 GHz) and VLA (6 GHz).
"Having access to such a powerful radio telescope has enabled us to compete internationally on major discoveries like this, MeerKAT is yet another world-class telescope available to South African astronomers" said Dr Monageng.
SARAO Director Rob Adam added "It's exciting to see MeerKAT being used in a groundbreaking multi-wavelength study by young South African researchers from our sister observatory"

"Nine hour X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from a low mass black hole galactic nucleus," by G. Miniutti et al. is published in Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1556-x
The international research team used astronomical data from ESA's XMM-Newton, NASA's Chandra and Swift X-ray observatories, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, NRAO's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico, USA, CSIRO's Australia Telescope Compact Array in Australia, and SARAO's MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa.
South African Astronomical Observatory
Founded in 1820, the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO; www.saao.ac.za) is the national centre for optical and infrared astronomy in South Africa. Its primary role is to conduct fundamental research in astronomy and astrophysics by providing a world-class facility to scientists. The SAAO also promotes astronomy and astrophysics in Southern Africa, by sharing research findings and discoveries, and participating in outreach activities to enthuse citizens about physics and astronomy. The SAAO is a facility of the National Research Foundation, which operates under the South African Department of Science and Technology. The SAAO encompasses headquarters in the eponymous suburb of Observatory in Cape Town, and a dedicated research and observation station with several working telescopes (including SALT; www.salt.ac.za) outside the Karoo town of Sutherland in the Northern Cape.
MeerKAT, originally the Karoo Array Telescope, is a radio telescope inaugurated in 2018 consisting of 64 antennas spread over a diameter of eight kilometers in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. It is the most sensitive telescope of its kind in the world and is a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope, to be built in South Africa and Australia within the coming decade.
The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory
The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO), a facility of the National Research Foundation, is responsible for managing all radio astronomy initiatives and facilities in South Africa, including the MeerKAT radio telescope in the Karoo, and the Geodesy and VLBI activities at the HartRAO facility. SARAO also coordinates the African Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network (AVN) for the eight SKA partner countries in Africa, as well as South Africa's contribution to the infrastructure and engineering planning for the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope. To maximise the return on South Africa's investment in radio astronomy, SARAO is managing programmes to create capacity in radio astronomy science and engineering research, and the technical capacity required to support site operations.

Miles Lerman was born in the Polish town of Tomashov in 1920. Tomashov had a vibrant Jewish community and a strong Zionist movement. As a child Miles trained woth Zionist seminarians, planning to emigrate to Palestine and live on a kibbutz. His dreams were shattered by the German invasion of Poland in 1939. Tomashov was located only ten miles west of the Soviet-German dividing line. When the Germans invaded the Lerman family fled east to Lubov, in modern day Ukraine. In 1941, the Germans invaded Russia. Many young people fled further east, hoping for safety deep in Russia, but Miles decided to stay in Lubov and care for his mother.
As 1941 drew to a close, the Jewish population in Lubov became increasingly segregated from the Ukrainian population, and rumors of German massacres became frequent. In early 1942, Miles was sent to a slave labor camp. When he and some fellow inmates were sent to a remote quarry site to break rocks, they decided to take their chances. Using their shovels, they killed their guards, stole the weapons off their bodies, and escaped into the woods. In the Ukrainian forest they joined a Jewish partisan unit formed by other escapees.
Miles remembers that for the next two years, the job of his brigade was "to create havoc": they raided German outposts, destroying food and munitions supplies and continuing to build their arsenal. Unlike more militaristic Soviet brigades, Miles' brigade also served as a family camp. Women, children, and the elderly were given food and shelter, and the fighting unit dealt out harsh justice to any local collaborator who dared to turn a refugee over to the Nazis.
In June of 1944, the Soviet Army liberated Miles' brigade. Miles returned to Poland, visiting his decimated hometown before settling in Lublin, the new capital. In Lublin, Miles met and married Christina, an Auschwitz survivor. In 2005, they celebrated their 60th anniversary.
Miles Lerman passed away in January, 2008.

Nikolai Aleksandrovich Tretyakov (; 2 October 1854 – 5 February 1917) was a military engineer and general in the Imperial Russian Army, noted for his heroic role in the Siege of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War.

Biography
Tretyakov was born in Simbirsk, where his family were members of the local nobility. He graduated from the 2nd Moscow Military Gymnasium on August 10, 1872 and entered military service. In 1875, after graduation from the Nikolaev Engineering School, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He was promoted to lieutenant on July 13, 1877 and returned to the Nikolaev Academy of Engineering from which he graduated in 1878, and was subsequently promoted to captain. He became a lieutenant colonel in April 1892, and was assigned command of a sapper company at Vladivostok in April 1893. On May 21, 1895 he became commander of the 1st East Siberian Demining Brigade.

Promoted to colonel on December 25, 1899, Tretyakov was with the Russian expeditionary forces in the Boxer Rebellion in northern China. On February 27, 1901, he was appointed commander of the 5th East Siberian Rifles regiment.

During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, Tretyakov distinguished himself with a heroic defense against the Imperial Japanese Army at the Battle of Nanshan, during which he was wounded. He was promoted to major general on October 22, 1904 and continued to command the 5th East Siberian Rifles throughout the Siege of Port Arthur.

After the end of the war, on October 17, 1910, Tretyakov became inspector of field engineering in the Kiev Military District. He was promoted to lieutenant general on December 6, 1910. He was made commander of the 10th Siberian Rifle Division on February 28, 1911 and of the 3rd Siberian Infantry Division on October 12, 1911.

At the start of World War I, from August 12, 1914 Tretyakov was in command of the 1st Siberian Infantry Division. He was appointed commander of the Russian 23rd Army Corps on September 5, 1915, but asked to be transferred to the reserves only a week later. In December 1915,  he was appointed commander of the Russian XLII Army Corps, and on March 20, 1916 to that of the Russian XXXVII Army Corps. He was promoted to Engineer-general, (a military-technical rank in the Imperial Russian Army), on December 6, 1916.

Errors in Shoulder Joint Position Sense Mainly Come from the Glenohumeral Joint
Yin-Liang Lin and Andrew Karduna
While synchronous movement of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints has been emphasized in previous kinematics studies, most investigations of shoulder joint position sense have treated the shoulder complex as a single joint. The purposes of this study were to investigate the joint position sense errors of the humerothoracic, glenohumeral, and scapulothoracic joints at different elevation angles and to examine whether the errors of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints contribute to the errors of the humerothoracic joint. Fifty-one subjects with healthy shoulders were recruited. Active joint position sense of the humerothoracic, glenohumeral, and scapulothoracic joints was measured at 50°, 70°, and 90° of humerothoracic elevation in the scapular plane. The results showed that while scapulothoracic joint position sense errors were not affected by target angles, there was an angle effect on humerothoracic and glenohumeral errors, with errors decreasing as the target angles approached 90° of elevation. The results of a multiple regression analysis revealed that glenohumeral errors explained most of the variance of the humerothoracic errors and that scapulothoracic errors had a weaker predictive relationship with humerothoracic errors. Therefore, it may be necessary to test scapular joint position sense separately in addition to the assessment of the overall shoulder joint position sense.

Sensors on the Humerus Are Not Necessary for an Accurate Assessment of Humeral Kinematics in Constrained Movements
Yin-Liang Lin and Andrew R. Karduna
The measurement of humeral kinematics with a sensor on the humerus is susceptible to large errors due to skin motion artifacts. An alternative approach is to use data from a forearm sensor, combined with data from either a scapular or thoracic sensor. We used three tasks to assess the errors of these approaches: humeral elevation, elbow flexion and humeral internal rotation. Compared with the humeral method, the forearm methods (using either a scapular or thoracic sensor) demonstrated significantly smaller root mean square errors in humeral elevation and humeral internal rotation tasks. Although the errors of the forearm methods were significantly larger than those of the humeral method during elbow flexion, the errors of the forearm methods still were below 3°. Therefore, these forearm methods may be able to accurately measure humeral motion. In addition, since no difference was found between the forearm methods using the scapular or thoracic sensor, it may be possible to accurately assess both shoulder and elbow kinematics with only two sensors: one on the forearm and one on the scapula.
Functional Isokinetic Strength Ratios in Baseball Players With Injured Elbows
Yin-Chou Lin, Angela Thompson, Jung-Tang Kung, Liang-Wei Chieh, Shih-Wei Chou and Jung-Charng Lin
Elbow injuries are widely reported among baseball players. The elbow is susceptible to injury when elbow-flexor and -extensor forces are imbalanced during pitching or throwing. Assessment of muscle-strength ratios may prove useful for diagnosing elbow injury.
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the elbow-flexor and -extensor functional isokinetic ratios and elbow injury in baseball players.
Retrospective study.
Biomechanics laboratory.
College baseball players with (n = 9) and without (n = 12) self-reported elbow pain or loss of strength were recruited.
Intervention and Main Outcome Measures:
Trials were conducted using a dynamometer to assess dominant-arm flexor and extensor concentric and eccentric strength at angular velocities of 60° and 240°/s. Functional isokinetic ratios were calculated and compared between groups.
Regression analysis revealed that a ratio of biceps concentric to triceps concentric strength greater than 0.76 (the median value) significantly predicted elbow injury (P = .01, odds ratio of injury = 24). No other ratios or variables (including position played) were predictive of injury status.
These findings suggest that the ratio of biceps concentric to triceps concentric functional strength strongly predicts elbow-injury status in baseball players. Assessment of this ratio may prove useful in a practical setting for training purposes and both injury diagnosis and rehabilitation.

TORONTO – The Toronto Catholic District School Board says the province's decision to cut programs aimed at providing students with extra skills and support will result in the immediate loss of 95 part-time jobs.
In a briefing note sent this week to trustees, the school board says the jobs losses will affected about 35 part-time student tutors and 60 working in youth after-hour programs.
On Friday, the Ontario government issued a memo to school boards announcing it is slashing $25 million in funding for specialized programs in elementary and secondary schools.
However, Maria Rizzo, chair of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, said after the cuts became public that she was "blindsided" by the funding cuts and worried how special needs students in her board would be affected.
Meanwhile, the briefing note also highlights that $30,000 allocated for a program called Indigenous Student Learning and Leadership, which provides leadership development opportunities to Indigenous students from Grade 7-12, has been cut.

Q: Cannot scan list of numbers into list of tuples I'm trying to scan a list of lists and return a list of 2-tuples, the first item the sublist, and the second the sum of the sublist. Here is the function:
listToTups :: (Num a) => [[a]] -> [([a], a)]
listToTups x = scanl (\acc item -> (item, sum item) : acc) [] x

When I try to compile I get this error:
Couldn't match expected type `([a], a)' with actual type `[a0]'
    In the second argument of `scanl', namely `[]'
    In the expression:
      scanl (\ acc item -> (item, sum item) : acc) [] x

This doesn't make sense since the lambda function is clearly returning a list of tuples. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
This is what I'm trying to do. Given a list of [Int], I want to return a list of 2-tuples, the first element being the sublist itself, and the second being the sum. So something like:
[[1,2,3], [4,5,6]] -> [([1,2,3], 6), ([4,5,6], 15)]

How can I do this?

A: Since
scanl :: (b -> a -> b) -> b -> [a] -> [b]

and you demand that
scanl _ _ :: Num c => [[c]] -> [([c], c)]

we conclude that b must be ([c], c) (by unifying the return type of scanl and the return type of the supplied type signature). However, you also demand that
scanl _ []

be well-typed, from which we conclude that b must be [d] (by unifying the type of the second argument to scanl and the type of []). These two constraints -- that b be a tuple type and that b be a list type -- are not compatible.
Your description of what you're trying to achieve isn't so clear to me, and it's not immediately obvious from the code, either, so I can't offer much advice on how to fix it. I can only hope that the above description of the problem is clear enough that it helps you see a solution for yourself.

Soldiers Receive Firmin Sword Of Peace For Work In Caribbean
Soldiers from 66 Engineer Group received the sword in recognition of their work on Operation Ruman.
Sian Grzeszczyk
A group of soldiers have been awarded the Firmin Sword of Peace.
Members of 66 Engineer Group paraded to receive the award in recognition of their work during Operation Ruman.
A Special Thank You For RAF Personnel Involved In Op Ruman
The Firmin Sword of Peace is awarded for activities above and beyond a unit's normal role that improve relations with the community, either within the UK or overseas.
In 2017, hurricanes struck British Overseas Territories causing catastrophic devastation and the loss of life.
Buildings were damaged, vital resources cut off and mass evacuations had to take place.
Op Ruman saw more than 2,000 British military personnel mobilise quickly to provide disaster relief to the Caribbean islands over a five-week period in 2017.
Aircraft including A400M, Voyager, C-17 Globemaster and Hercules were deployed within hours to provide support, making Op Ruman one of the quickest air movement responses since Operation Herrick in Afghanistan.
Armed Forces Minister Mark Lancaster presented the sword.
Lieutenant Colonel Gareth Walker, the Commanding Officer, spoke about how it feels to be awarded it: "It's an absolutely beautiful sword.
"Its the first time the 66 works group has received this award and its an absolute privilege and honour to receive it as Commanding Officer on behalf of 66 works group."
"Utterly Heartbreaking" Prince Charles Describes Damage Left By Hurricanes In The Carribean
Corporal Thomas Greig was part of the team in the Caribbean and the work consisted of 16 hours a day: "It was a challenge, it wasn't really what we expecting when we got out there, none of us had ever really done anything like it."
Captain Philip Chalkey said he had never been tasked with something to this level and on such short notice: "It means a great deal, it's a small group that we have and to receive an award, an accolade, at the level of the Firmin Sword is a real achievement.
"We very rarely get tasked with this sort of level and quick reaction work... it's a real proud moment."
Just days before receiving the award the 66 work group had been sent to help with the response to flooding in the Lincolnshire town of Wainfleet.

The enforcement of immigration laws is a complex and hotly-debated topic. Learn more about the costs of immigration enforcement and the ways in which the U.S. can enforce our immigration laws humanely and in a manner that ensures due process.
Deportations of parents and family members have serious consequences that affect children and extend to communities and the country as a whole.
Expedited removal is a process by which low-level immigration officers can quickly deport certain noncitizens who are undocumented or have committed fraud or misrepresentation.
First-hand accounts from Central American women and their family members reveal the dangerous and bleak circumstances of life these women and their children faced upon return to their home countries, as well as serious problems in the deportation process.
Many children are placed in deportation proceedings before an immigration judge, where they will carry the legal burden of proving that they should be allowed to remain in the United States. The government does not guarantee them the right to a lawyer. As a result, many children navigate the complicated system without legal representation.

When you hear the words "keyword research" your brain automatically thinks about SEO and link building. After all, keyword research is only used for identifying relevant keywords that will drive traffic to your website, right? Wrong.
Historically, this is exactly why keyword research was developed. But it can now be used for so much more than that. In an ever-developing world of content marketing, keyword research can come in very useful. So how exactly can you utilize it in your next content marketing campaign? Here's how.
The process of keyword research involves identifying exactly which words and phrases consumers will be using when they are looking for your product or service on one of the search engines.
There are many different tools from which you can carry out keyword research, like SEMrush, of course. These tools provide you with a range of data around your keywords, including the number of searches for the term, the local search volume around the term and how much competition the term has.
By carrying out keyword research, you can easily identify which keywords you need to optimize on your site, and use them to develop your content marketing campaign.
When you conduct keyword research for use in content marketing, the first thing you need to do is understand what it is that your consumers are looking for. You need to understand the exact terminology your consumers use – it's all about taking a step back and looking at how the consumer sees your company in contrast to your own view, and the steps they take to find your products or services.
As you work at your company, you may know exactly how the brand name is pronounced and spelled, but are you sure your consumers know? Is your brand name the first thing that comes to mind when consumers think of your product or service, or is there actually a more popular term associated with it? Think outside the box and step into their shoes.
Keyword research gives you a fantastic insight into what it is that your consumers desire, and this is a great starting point to build on in terms of creating calls to action and further informative elements. But how can you do more with it?
If you have two similar products, but one of the products has a much higher search volume, it is important that you don't just look past that when it comes to creating your content marketing strategy. To develop high-quality content that results in high levels of traffic and engagement, you need to focus on what exactly it is that your consumers want to know about.
Give your consumers information and guidance that is relevant to their search terms, and hand them the things they are looking for on a plate. This will help to build up brand trust and create a good relationship with them.
Keyword research is fantastic for uncovering the questions your target audience is asking. Once you know what your consumers need help with, you can step in and offer them the answers they need. Using this information will help you create heaps of onsite and offsite content that will give you a higher level of social engagement.
It is important to set yourself as an authoritative author and thought-leader within your industry. By answering questions and demonstrating your expertise, you will gain a loyal audience while achieving rankings on more tricky and competitive keywords.
The people who are asking these questions may not necessarily be your current consumers; they might not become consumers tomorrow or the next day, either. But by answering their questions and helping them out, if they ever do need your product or service, they are likely to come straight back to you as a business they already know and can trust.
Once you have picked the keywords and key phrases you want to plan your content marketing strategy around, there is absolutely no harm in finding out exactly which of your competitors are currently ranking for the terms.
Make a note of the top three ranking sites for each keyword and check out their content strategy to see what is working for them. It's a great motivator to see what competitors are doing that are working well for them – make sure that your content marketing strategy is bigger and better than theirs. Conducting a SWOT (strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis from your competitors' campaigns to improve your own content marketing campaign is vital.
After Google Hummingbird was released, marketers were told to concentrate less on using keywords, as the update focused on the fact people communicated using phrases and conversation, not keywords.
Yet, keyword research is still essential in the world of search marketing. And as you can see above, it can be very useful when forming a content marketing strategy. It can be used outside the realms of straightforward SEO and link building, and really help your brand to demonstrate thought leadership and expertise, while building up an audience of loyal consumers ready to share and engage with your content.

Vernon Litigation File Wrongful Termination Claim On Behalf Of Financial Advisor
Vernon Litigation Group and The Mauriello Law firm have filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration claim today in Southern California against FINRA member Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. (Schwab) on behalf of a young female Claimant.
Naples, United States - September 14, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Vernon Litigation Group and The Mauriello Law firm have filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration claim today in Southern California against FINRA member Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. (Schwab) on behalf of a young female Claimant. The core of the claims are allegations of wrongful and retaliatorily termination of Claimant, a young, female employee, soon after reporting harassment by the branch manager to Human Resources. The Claim also alleges inappropriate comments made by the manager about the female advisor's attire and her interactions with clients. Claimant was allegedly the only female Financial Consultant in her office and Schwab is alleged to have invented a pretextual disciplinary violation to report on the victim's regulatory history (CRD).
Prior to being terminated, Claimant appropriately notified Schwab management for employee relations and workplace practices about her concerns of being held different standards and being treated in a discriminatory way by her branch manager. Despite anti-harassment policy that states that Schwab forbids retaliation against any employee who has reported harassment or who has cooperated in the investigation of harassment complaints, Claimant was terminated soon after reporting her situation through the proper channels. The impact of Schwab's alleged wrongdoing has been especially devastating in light of the fact that Claimant's compensation was used to help Claimant support for her ill mother.
"It is concerning to see this type of pattern continuing to occur in the brokerage industry", said Vernon Litigation attorney Chris Vernon. Vernon believes that despite being very advanced in figuring out how to sell product to clients, many brokerage firms are stuck in the past when it comes to treatment of financial professionals and other employees. Vernon adds that culture in some financial firms lags significantly behind the policies and procedures in place at those firms.

I would love some crtiique on my site as it is developing.
Right now I have alot of inventory that I need to photograph and put up, but not enough hours in the day to do so!! I'm finding it very difficult to maintain the site, make beads, make jewelry, and photograph it all for posting, on my "off "time from my full time day job, and can't afford to hire help - heck that's why I have a DIY site!!
I also am struggling to put together a "gallery" page that I like - any ideas?
Hi Elle. I can't believe how SLOW this forum is and quiet! :rolleyes: It's a shame and makes on feel WHY BOTHER!
I'm looking at your site now. While the falling beads are COOL and you have a link to turn it off, I'm not sure how well I like it. The beads are wonderful but I think I find it distracting.
I have to scroll to the right on your home page. I'm using Firefox as a browser and it's set at 800X600 which I think is standard. Even when I've scrolled to the right, the Raining Beads writing still doesn't fit and goes off the screen some. The logo looks wonderful, but I don't like where it ends and there's a blank white area with your email and the raining beads part. I don't think you need a navagation at the top under your logo AND at the right. I'd pick one or the other.
You shouldn't have your home link working when on your home page. I did that with my first site and someone pointed that out.
When I go to your jewelry page (I like the pull down menu) the page is scrunched, it doesn't fit the page this time and your email addy goes off the page.The rest of the page looks good though, nice pics of your work. Just a suggestion for those on dial up, not sure if it's the same throught your website. I see you have smaller pictures then links, but it's all still on that page. Those with dial up might not wait till it all loads to even click on it because there are so many images on that one page. It's more work to link to a seperate page for each item, but it's a thought. Or I'd just have no smaller images and leave the rest there since you've already done the work, but I don't think both sets of pictures are necessary, set it up like you have your lampwork page.
The rest of the site looks ok, but some pages go off the screen and some are scrunched. Try to make them consistant in size.
Hi Elle, I only came across this posting by a very round about method, I think most people haven't seen that it is here which is why you haven't had much response yet.
I like the site, it's good and clear, the links are easy to see and the text reads easily. The logo with the parrot is appealing and fits in with the whole image, it's a good piece of graphic design. I have to say I'm not too keen on the rain, that's a personal thing and I know you can turn it off but it took me a while to figure that out! I think it's because I spend a lot of my work time looking for stuff on line so I'm always on the lookout for clear information, the first thing I want is to know if this site has what I'm interested in and I think your homepage does that.
I'm using a higher resolution than Lenda so I don't have any spacing problems, plus I'm on broadband so speed isn't an issue. I love the way you've presented the bead sets, they're clear and strong and very striking. I'm not so sure about the added flower bits in the photos of earrings and knitting needles, I think I'd prefer a plain but clear picture of what you're selling there.
Do check your website in as many resolutions as you can and with different browsers, it's amazing how different a site can look. And try to minimise clutter on the homepage, keep your logo and main links but don't have too many distractions, you want to woo the customer in there, not confuse them.
You've got a great site building up there, good luck with it.
I'll put in my two cents, too. I don't like the falling beads, either. They are distracting. Also, when you are on the lampwork page, the link to the gallery disappears. I like static menus - the same on every page, no matter what page you are on. That way the user can always find their way to wherever from wherever.
I'm with Claire on the photos - I like the artistry with which they were arranged, but in the closeups (especially of the earrings) I'd get rid of the flowers and focus on the items you are trying to sell. As it is, you can't really see the earrings very well.
One other thing about site organization: if you had one page with all the jewelry on it, then someone shopping for earrings might see a bracelet that they like. As it is now, they'd have to click on a separate page - which they might not do. I'd get rid of the popup-style menu and go for an all-jewelry page with links at the top to each section (earrings, bracelets, etc) - and example pics to go with each link.
One more thing...I'd have the links to ebay and your blog open a separate window.
Thank you SO much!!! I will take everything said into serious consideration and start exploring with your ideas. I have especially struggled with how to present an array/gallery of items that is eye pleasing yet not too big to load or little to make out details.
It's terrific to see things through new eyes. I'll let you know how it's going "post - tweak" - which may take a while :-) but I greatly appreciate your taking the time to look around!
Hello- the only thing I can say it that I agree on the raining beads... it is a bit distracting and busy. Other than that I think your site looks great. I have no problems with the size of the pages on my screen. Keep up the great work, and I love the parrot!
PS- your beads are awesome also!

Choir Exchange
Natural Voice singing
Woven Chords specialises in traditional songs from around the world including some from our own folk culture as well as some contemporary rock, pop and gospel. Our repertoire of over 200 songs covers most parts of the globe: Eastern Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Antipodes and Polynesia, Europe and Great Britain with harmonies drawn from centuries-old oral traditions. From gospel to work songs, from haunting chants to rousing celebrations, there is something here for everyone.
The Woven Chords repertoire reflects the versatility of what Andy Kershaw calls 'the world's most important instrument' and ranges from the extraordinary polyphony of Georgian church music which makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, through the hard-edged ringing cries of the Balkans, to the resounding calls and responses of South African protest songs which invite you to join in. Wherever possible, songs are sung in the language of their country of origin.
The choir's enthusiastic love of singing is evident at any Woven Chords' performance. During the past twenty years the choir has been delighting audiences both local and further afield with the diversity of its music, which it endeavours to deliver with energy, passion and authenticity.
New Leader for Woven Chords!
Graham Dale
It is with much sadness that Woven Chords has said "Goodbye" to Emmanuel Omuederiaye after a wonderful 18 months under his enthusiastic and exciting leadership. It has been a stimulating period for us as we learned and developed his new compositions written especially for us and, although rather nerve wracking at times, acquired the art of 'freestyle'!
So now we are embarking on a new chapter and the Committee are pleased to announce that Graham Dale has been appointed as our new choir director. There is no doubt that it is going to be different but definitely exciting.
Graham Dale is a composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist performer, band leader, session musician, workshop leader, ethnomusicologist and instrument maker. He also has over 20 years' teaching experience on college courses.
Woven Chords are looking forward to working with Graham to develop our repertoire and style and welcome anyone interested in singing to join us at the Stamford Arts Centre.

Message=Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
In this case you probably have a mismatch between your Oracle drivers and what your project is setup to compile as (e.g. x86, x64, AnyCPU). If you have 32-bit Oracle drivers then x64 won't work and AnyCPU may or may not work depending on your workstation (if it's a 32-bit workstation it would work, if it was 64 and defaulted to that it wouldn't).
The solution here is to specifically set your executable, website or assembly to compile for the same architecture as the "Oracle.DataAcess" file you're using. In my case, it's 32-bit so I'm specifically go into the project settings and change my assembly to compile for x86. Problem solved.


The All University Committee (AUC) is an elected governance committee of Fitchburg State University. Formerly the All College Committee (ACC), the name was changed in 2012 to reflect the University status of the institution. The committee was founded in 1971 with the duty of policy recommendations in areas of concern to the entire college community. These areas include but are not limited to: Educational affairs (academic programs, academic courses, and admissions), Long Range Planning (academic, facilities, personnel, and finance), Finance (budget planning and expenditure), Internal (student life, evening and off campus divisions, and buildings and grounds), and External (legislation and public affairs). The committee is made up of eight members of the MSCA bargaining unit, three student representatives, and three administrative representatives.
The governance procedures for the AUC Proposals began in 1979. Proposals are submitted to the committee chair and assigned a proposal number. The committee refers the proposal to the appropriate sub-committee for review and recommendation. Upon return from the sub-committee, the AUC makes a recommendation to the university President. The President has final authority to approve or not approve the proposal. If required by the Board of Higher Education, the proposal may be forwarded for approval to the Board of Trustees.
Initially, ACC proposals were numbered continuously beginning from Academic Year 1978/79. In 1994/95, the committee began numbering the proposals by academic year starting over with each new academic year. To accommodate these changes and ensure easy access, proposal files are named by academic year first and then by proposal number.
The University Archives, located in the Gallucci-Cirio Library, houses the All University Committee Records, 1966-present, and includes the committees' actions and the President's decisions. Starting in 2008, the record keeping process changed from a paper format to an electronic format. Proposals are now submitted electronically and all decisions are recorded in an online index.
Started in Spring 2012, this digital collection aims to provide electronic access to ACC proposals and minutes from 1978/79 thru 2007/08. Expected to take several years, the collection will be added to continuously until completed. The project has been completed by volunteer archivist, Elysia Hamelin, under the supervision of Special Collections Librarian, Kate Wells. Requests for proposals not yet digitized should be made to Kate Wells, Special Collections Librarian.


Home » I'm Starting My Own Business as a Tradesman, What is the Best Business Structure for Me?
There is no "one structure fits all". The unique aspects of each particular business need to be considered when deciding on the best business structure for you. Choosing a business structure is not a static process; with many businesses changing their business structure over time.
As a sole trader, you are the business. You have control of everything that makes up the business.
This is the most popular way to structure a business, particularly for those starting a new business, as it is generally the least expensive and time consuming to establish.
The key risk is that the business does not have a legal identity separate to you. In other words, you and the business are the same. Any loans, credit facilities, supplier guarantees, and any other debts or liabilities that you enter into while running your business become your personal responsibility.
All the risk and responsibility is assumed by you whether or not your business succeeds. For example, if your business is unsuccessful, these debts and liabilities that you entered into may be enforced by the creditors against your personal assets.
When deciding if a sole trader is right for you, it is important to consider the way that similar businesses in your industry are structured, your concerns over this personal risk and liability for business debts, and whether you are able to afford the higher expenses associated with the other types of business structures.
There are strategies that can be implemented to protect your personal assets and, should you require further advice in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact our Matthew Tyrrell or Brendan Pitman.
A partnership structure is similar to that of a sole trader, with the main difference being that two or more people make up the business. There are varying ways that you can structure a partnership.
This type of structure requires you to trust those people in the partnership. This is because you are not the only one in control of everything of the business; your partners in the partnership are also in control of everything in the business.
It is common for a dispute to arise in a partnership whereby one partner has committed the partnership to an obligation that the other partner/s do not agree. All partners of the partnership will be liable for the debts and liabilities of the business.
Trusts are a particularly complicated area of the law. There are significant advantages for a business owner if a trust is set up properly.
A trust is unique; it is not a separate legal entity, however, a trust isn't you either. Rather, a trust is a legal relationship between a group of people.
There are many types of trusts, however regardless of the particular type of trust chosen, a trust gives you flexibility in how income is distributed. There are also particular tax benefits in structuring your business as a trust.
Given the complexity of this area of law, we strongly recommend that you contact our office before choosing this business structure.
Unlike the above three types of business structure, a company is a separate legal entity. This means that you and the company are two separate things.
A key benefit of this structure is that you do not assume all risk and responsibility for the debts and liabilities of the business. This is particularly appealing as it provides a level of separation between what your business owes and your personal assets.
In the practice of business, it is common however for a creditor of your business to require you to provide a personal guarantee when running your business as a company. This means that, in the event the company is unable to meet the debt or liability to the creditor, the creditor may pursue you personally for enforcement of the debt or liability.
There are strategies that can be implemented to reduce your personal liability and we invite you to contact our Matthew Tyrrell or Brendan Pitman in this regard.
When choosing a company, it is important to understand that the officers of a company (for example, Director/Secretary) are under strict duties. It is critical to understand these duties as, in the event that your business is unsuccessful, you may be pursued for any debts or liabilities of the company if you are in breach of these duties.
This article has not considered the additional tax consequences associated with each of the above business structure and recommend that you seek advices from your accountant in this regard.
Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact our Matthew Tyrrell or Brendan Pitman.


Although the terms hypoxia and hypoxemia are often used interchangeably, they are not synonymous. Hypoxemia is defined as a condition where arterial oxygen tension (Pao2) is below normal (normal Pao2 = 80–100mmHg). Hypoxia is defined as the failure of oxygenation at the tissue level. It is not measured directly by a laboratory value (though an increased arterial lactate level usually accompanies tissue hypoxia). Hypoxia and hypoxemia may or may not occur together. Generally, the presence of hypoxemia suggests hypoxia. However, hypoxia may not be present in patients with hypoxemia if the patient compensates for a low Pao2 by increasing oxygen delivery. This is typically achieved by increasing cardiac output or decreasing tissue oxygen consumption. Conversely, patients who are not hypoxemic may be hypoxic if oxygen delivery to tissues is impaired or if tissues are unable to use oxygen effectively. Nevertheless, hypoxemia is by far the most common cause of tissue hypoxia.

Technology for the poor as well as the rich
Former weapons inspector: Iraqi arms "gone" as of 1998
Kennedy School symposium asks tough questions
By Alvin Powell Gazette Staff
For the world's poor, technology is something other people have, a tool for the rich to help them get richer.
For world development officials, however, technology holds the promise of being something different. Properly applied, modern technology can help less-developed countries compete, help educate the poor, help narrow the gap between rich and poor.
But applying technology to narrow – not broaden – the gap between rich and poor is the hard part. That's why it was the subject of an international conference sponsored by the Kennedy School of Government's Center for International Development (CID), the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and the Asia Programs at the Center for Business and Government.
"The view is that, so far, the way [technology] has been applied has widened the gap. But we're arguing that [that result] is not inherent to technology, but to the way it's being applied," said Calestous Juma, professor and director of the CID's Science, Technology and Innovation Program.
Juma, one of the conference organizers, said the conference, held Monday and Tuesday (Sept. 23 and 24) at the Gutman Conference Center at the Graduate School of Education, is an effort to begin figuring out how policies can be used to make technology an ally for those working to help developing countries.
"It is a difficult issue that requires detailed analytic input, but also partnership [among many different parties]," Juma said.
The conference, the "International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation," attracted about 200 people from a variety of academic, governmental, and business settings around the world. Over the two days, attendees heard presentations from more than 40 people working on a wide variety of projects involving technology and development. Rubens Ricupero, secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which is based in Geneva, delivered the keynote speech Monday night.
Some of the first presentations looked at connections between science and technology and income inequality, the evidence that science spurs economic development, and some of the latest innovative approaches in Scotland.
"We don't think we're going to get to equality [between developed and developing nations] in our lifetime, but the direction is quite important," said Susan Cozzens, professor at the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology, during a presentation on income inequality.
Juma said he hopes the conference serves multiple purposes. He wants it not only to present information to those in the audience, but also to help establish global networks of people interested in the issue. In addition, Juma said, issues identified as important during the conference will help him set the agenda of a UN task force he is heading on the use of technology in development.
"It's difficult and it's a major issue that will take considerable intellectual resources not just to bring clarity but also to make it work," Juma said. "We're using the conference to create an agenda [for action on the issue] and to create a global network of scholars."
