I get a lot of routine docs in docX format from UK government departments and very few can be used without a lot of work. I also don't know how well docs I send to them as exports will appear to them. Since Word processing documents are the most common and docX is now in much wider use I think the priority needs to be to get the docX odt filter to as good a standard as possible particularly with tables, headers, footers and page structures. Without this it is going to be very difficult for anyone that has to work with government departments to adopt AOO as an alternative to MSO. Google Docs does it better and so it means Google Docs is then a bigger competitor for AOO too. I also think that whichever of AOO or LibO implements these filters the best is likely to get adoption over the other.

Boy Scouts take on a zombie pandemic
On Sept. 29, Fullerton's Boy Scouts Troop 292 hosted its first Zombie Pandemic.
Using the pop culture popularity of zombies, Scout Troop 292 took Webelos from Cub Scout Packs 211, 834, 1218, 1223 and 8888 through an action-packed adventure that they will not soon forget.
Those who attended this fun and educational event were taught important emergency and disaster preparedness skills. In addition to learning what to do during real-life emergencies, the boys worked on their Readyman Webelos Activity Pin and practiced their first aid skills in preparation of the upcoming Camperall.
Feedback from the 34 Webelos in attendance along with their parents and leaders was very positive and everyone involved is looking forward to future events.
Fullerton's Boy Scouts of America Troop 292 is sponsored by the Fullerton Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America, and the event was held at the Izaak Walton Cabin at Hillcrest Park.

To the Editor:—
Dr. Falk's paper on coronary disease (The Journal, June 7, p. 491) not only repeats the ancient legend that blood cholesterol is independent of dietary cholesterol intake but specifically recommends junket and eggs as daily dietary ingredients for patients with coronary disease. Falk seems not to have noted the fall in blood cholesterol reported by Kempner in 79 patients on a rice diet (the average fall was from 243 to 186 mg. per hundred cubic centimeters, Bull. New York Acad. Med.22:361 [July] 1946) or the consistent slight rise in blood cholesterol noted in normal women fed four egg yolks daily (Okey, Ruth, and Stewart, Dorothy: J. Biol. Chemi.99:717 [Feb.] 1933).Granting that blood cholesterol is rather stable, rising and falling slowly when diets rich in cholesterol and calories are administered or discontinued, and that going without favorite foods is to many a "fate

In this episode of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack visits with author Walt Bachman about his book "Northern Slave, Black Dakota: The Life and Times of Joseph Godfrey."

This is a good campus. Rarely anything bad happens but public safety walks around all the time and knocks on doors for no reason.
The financial aid office at Alvernia is slower than other colleges.
Party Scene:
The few people that do throw parties, usually get caught or they are terrible.
Campus Food:
If we buy someone else lunch, it should be able to count as a swipe and we should not have to use our flex dollars. The food in the Student Center is very rarely appetizing.
Off-Campus Housing:
it is the best i love it
Off-Campus Dining:
i love it it economicaly the best
it seems to be fairly accomidating
they said i was eligable then i wasnt
Off-Campus Dining:
don't usually eat off campus due to not eating fast food
Its decent could be better in some areas
Haven't had any problems usually goes very smooth.
Campus Food:
Its okay, but could be better and healthier
Campus Housing:
Not bad there is enough things to do around campus throughout the semester. Housing is good but a bit on the expensive side.
The campus facilities are well kept and always beautiful
This campus is very strict about noise and underage drinking, policies always require an AA class If you get caught for anything. Once quiet hours hit public safety cracks down and will be banging on your door.
I have a difficult situation, so I am still dealing with financial aide and all sorts of issues keep arriving.
Party Scene:
We have parties but they are not ragers. The people there are amazing you make new friends whenever you go out and even if you don't drink you can still have a great time.
Campus Food:
It's rare that dinner is actually really appatizing.
Off-Campus Housing:
You have to be mindful of where you rent; some areas are not as suitable for human occupation as others.
Off-Campus Dining:
Within the city is a wide variety of food with spanish influences. You have to travel away from campus to find vegetarian and healthy options.
I enjoy the structure that is found at University.
Financial aid office was always available to answer any questions I had.
Party Scene:
Wi-fi connectivity is horrible in the science wing of Bernadine Hall.
Campus Food:
They offer a wide variety to accommodate all meal preferences. They do tend to serve regional influenced recipes that don't appeal to me as I was not raised in the area.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe on Campus. We have a lot of security Guard there.

Film Review: Chaotic Comedy 'Moms' Night Out' Has Wholesome Content, Toxic AttitudeSubmitted by NickHC on May 9, 2014 - 2:04pm
CHICAGO – Liberty is a concept expressed only in irony with "Moms' Night Out," a female-driven minivan comedy that instructs ultimately to listen to thy husband for it is Biblical, even if thy husband is a child himself. Like sad Mitt Romney and his chocolate milk, this PG-romp is a brief walk on the wild side from the rules that await at the end of the night.

CHICAGO – Sean Astin has distinguished himself through two memorable roles – that of the title character in the Notre Dame film "Rudy" and as Samwise Gamgee in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

CHICAGO – There is an entire generation out there that LOVES "The Goonies." It is one of those '80s films that is spoken about in hushed tones in certain circles as if it is the product of a time when they just made better movies. People adore the Richard Donner film that turned Sloth and Chunk into annual Halloween costumes. A 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray and DVD of "The Goonies" has been issued with those diehard fans in mind.

The RandMT package is replaced with the Random package which provides additional PRNG's.
mt_rand() is based upon the Mersenne Twister PRNG algorithm ([1], [2]). This PRNG has an enormous period (in fact it is 2**19937-1 which is a Mersenne Prime, hence the name). It is also suposedly faster than the standard C library rand() function. Furthermore, while the stock Tcl rand function generates numbers in the range (0,1) - randmt produces numbers in the range [0,1]. If required, it can also produce values within (0,1) as well as integer values (any 32bit value) - we would just need some names for these functions.
isaac_rand() uses the ISAAC algorithm [3] by Bob Jenkins. ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count) generates 32-bit random numbers. The period is guaranteed to be at least 2**40 and is 2**8295 on average. The results are uniformly distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you know the seed. This PRNG is suitable for cryptographic use provided a suitably random seed can be provided.

It was an ok book wish it was longer only 57 pages long a real quick read finished it in 20 minutes
I love Heather Graham, but this book was incomplete, the characters were not fully developed, the plot and premise were ridiculous. It was badly written. Not sure what happened here, but this book is horrible.
It was a short story, but as the mother of 3 boys, that works for me. :) It was an awesome read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are into the mystical/otherworldly stuff, this book is for you.
It's a short story. This means the plot is brief & quick. You don't get to know the characters as well as you might in a 300 or 400 page book. But it is a good quick read and a good intro to the upcoming series.
Could not but the book down once I started reading. Kept me guessing as to how it would end. This is the first time I read a story by this author. But in reading this I would like to read more stories by this author.
You people should just read this novel yourselves and write your own review on it also yourselves. I enjoyed reading this novel. ShelleyMA
Very interesting. This is the perfect short story. It tells a good story without all the detritus. It holds your interest from start to finish. Much better than the other "Keeper" books, in my opinion. I keep picturing the hero of the story as Orlando Bloom with pointy ears from the movie series. Oh well, we can't have everything.
Great paranormal suspense short. Exciting, well rounded characters and complete in this novella. I loved it and will read the rest of the series.
Enjoyed this but would have liked more.
Guy on cover is kind of hot. I wish he were real. 5 stars just for the cover lol
This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning look forward to rest of the series
Great short story! Fast paced page turner filled with supernatural fun. xo
Wish it were a bit longer

|Check-in before
Nice little house with everything you need. There's a sandbeach nearby, you can walk to it in 5 minutes. With the cab or bus it's easy to go to the city of Zadar. The host was very sweet and willing to arrange anything. We had a good time!
I chose the appartment because of low price and good location. I payed the amount of 160€ for 3 nights which was on the receipt I got from windu. After that I realized that the flat was sold by a company called interhome which sent me a second receipt for a cleaning few of 58€. So the inital low price increased by 35%.
I could have seen this clicking on an extra button in the description in advance. Very poor strategy to make money, sorry guys....
The flat itself was very good, clean and recomendable.
Had a pleasant stay here for 4 days. Very centrally located apartment with restaurants, a bakery, a slaughter and an Metro right outside the door.
Some street noise and the apartment could need a major cleaning.
1-very dear(expensive) by report(relationship) quality / prices(prizes)
2-aftre the reservation a great surprise in supplement bond 100€ payment for (cleaning +draps+taxes)
3 - impossible of sat(based) in the garden or to open windows because of big mosquitoes (in spite of the precautions were all pricked by mosquito
4 - walked out of order
5-full of dust, in private individuals under mattresses
6-paying internet
7-lack of playroom(gaming room) (children and adults) and fitness gym
8-I never return and I do not advise(recommend) it to my friends
hidden cost and no free wifi as advertised
We were two families with children who rented an Elviria (Marbella) property from Interhome through Wimdu. The Wimdu process was quite simple and quick. The follow up with Interhome started poorly, they kept asking for payment, when it had already been sent, and would not give the property address until payment logged by them. When that was sorted it was a bit of a shock to arrive there from the airport, and not be able to get in for an hour because the number Interhome gave went to a voicemail, eventually rang Interhome Germany and got them to get us into the property. The complex is very nice, secure and well serviced. The property was lovely and clean, and would have been ideal for our families, had it not been for one issue, it was NOT the property we had booked on Wimdu, The Wimdu photos were of a sunny top floor apartment, which was decorated and furnished beautifully. This was a ground floor, not sunny, apartment, which was furnished ok. To compound matters we had no hot water till almost 10pm that night, running after various agents, night guards etc. Then no running water on third day, all of which was conveyed to Interhome. After a polite but lengthy investigation, they basically said no issues as far as they were concerned and they would offer 10% off our next booking, REALLY...would you book with them after that?? poor customer service, very keen to take your hard earned money, not very keen to take responsibility or compensate genuine complaints. Do not assume the property you are looking at is what Interhome will give you, by then its too late you have paid and you have travelled there and they refused to compensate or take responsibility.
Very comfortable nice apartment.
Very good orieted appartment in the centre of Chamonix. Exxellent on the minute service from Interhome when the bathtub was clogged.
The apartment was clean, well equipped, in a great location with allocated parking. It was in need of some TLC.It could do with the walls redecorating and the patio area tidying up.
Great place with very nice hostess, great public transport from there you can get everywhere. Everything was nice and clean, great base to explore austria!

Marvel Games working with Activision to sort out the issues with Marvel Ultimate Alliance re-release

E3 2006 First Look Preview
Last year marked the true debut of Rare in terms of providing Microsoft's consoles with real content (sorry fanboys, but ghoulies and a remake of an N64 game don't really cut the mustard), with the debut of the oft-delayed Kameo and the, well, oft-delayed Perfect Dark: Zero. While these titles received somewhat mixed reactions critically and commercially, it still marked the return of Rare as a viable development house.

Gouri is 5. She lives with her 2 brothers, who are 7 and 4, her parents. She is physically handicapped, not able to use one leg, which means she finds a few things more difficult than other children. Her father and mother work in a farm. The NISD créche worker visited Gouri's home a few times, whenever she was in the village, and saw each time that she was alone with her brothers in the day, while her parents worked.
When the créche worker finally met Gouri's mother, she explained that there was a créche in the village, and the different facilities avaliable there. Her mother was worried, but she was worried about her daughter everyday anyway, hence she used to leave her with her brothers, who would take care of her food and drink. It wasn't a great system - and sometimes the social worker found Gouri hungry and thirsty. Gouri's mother agreed to enrol her in the créche, though she remained concerned.
Now Gouri regularly comes to the créche, has new friends, and recieves extra attention from the créche worker which is making up for her previous neglect. It was difficult in the beginning for Gouri, but now she sings songs, knows some rhymes and can count from 1 to 10. She's smiling and happy.
Her mother now goes to work without having to worry about her daughter's safety. Her father is also happy that she's no longer unattended, and her brother has now also enrolled, leaving her older brother free to go to school.
Thank you for helping Gouri and her family, in the early years of her life.
Mrs Asha is 41, and lives in Nannaj Dumala, in a small house with her mother, daughter and son.
Her husband died 4 years ago due to AIDS. Since then Asha has had to bear the responsibility of looking after and educating her two children, as well as caring for her aging mother. She has very little money, supporting the whole family on an income of Rs 2,000 a month.
Before the project
Not having a toilet, and like many other poor families in the are, Mrs Asha, her children and her mother defecated openly in the village. For the 3 women of the family, this would mean waiting until dark or early morning. This caused stomach problems for the women, as well as exposing them to water-bourne diseases where people were openly deficating. It also affected the self-esteem of Mrs Asha, and especially her daughter. They were not aware of basic health and hygiene practice.
The intervention
NISD began working in this village, and Mrs Asha started to get involved int he activities they were running. Through this, she came to learn much more about basic health and sanitation practices, and the risks to both themselves and others that the practice of open defication led to.
She was inspired to construct a toilet, and asked if NISD could help. The construction was mostly subsidised by NISD who provided the materials, with Mrs Asha contributing the rest from what she could save.
The whole family now use the newly construced toilet and understand the importance of basic hygiene practices. This also means they can go to the toilet when they want, which has saved all kind of health problems and difficulties - especially for Mrs Asha's elderly mother. The money that has been saved on doctors bills and travel can now be used for the children's education.
Thank you for helping Mrs Asha and her family to enjoy a freedom we would all wish to have. This would not have been possible without your help.
Parvej is 4. He lives with his parents, 2 sisters and grandfather. The entire family are dependent upon his father's irregular daily labour work, and so their financial condition is normally precarious.
Parvej and his 6-year-old sister both attend pre-school, where it was noticed that Parevej was quite underweight.The crèche worker and NISD doctor visited Parvej's home and so the condition that he was living in. He weighed 11kg and was diagnosed as being 'grade II malnourished'. Because the family had never been able to afford enough food, Parvej had already suffered from health problems.
The NISD doctor advised his mother to give Parvej supplementary nutrition, in the form of 'spirulina candies', twice a day. This supplementary nutrition was to be provided free of cost by NISD. The crèche worker also encouraged the mother to attend crèche meetings on health, nutrition and child care.
Parvej's weight and health are improving. He looks a lot healthier and happier. His mother has been attending meetings also, and enjoys meeting other mothers.
Because of your support Parvej's health problems are decreasing, and his future looks much brighter.
Thank you.
Amreen is 17 years old, and lives in the village of Kuran, with her mother, father, and 2 brothers in a small house made of mud with a tin roof. Her father, and both of her brothers are wage labourers. Her mother rolls bidi cigars. All of this work together generated a total of 3,000rs a month, which was not enough for basics for the family, such as food and clothes.
A very driven and bright girl, she completed her 9th standard of school despite the background of rural poverty that she comes from. Unfortunately, her family poverty prevented her from completing school before she could finish, as she had to stay at home to help her mother with the housework, and making bidis (Indian cigars) for extra income.
Amreen was determined to become skilled at something, so she could "stand on her own 2 feet" as well as contribute financially to the family. She began attending the 'youth employment training' offered by NISD in her village, learning how to sew, in February of this year. She knew that if she learned to do this, she would be able to earn money due to the strong demand for such a service. After beginning this training, she also began to take an interest in NISD's other activities, which greatly helped to improve her confidence.
Towards the end of her time training, her parents decided to help in buying a sewing machine. Doing work for neighbours, friends, and other villagers, she has been able to make an additional 2,000rs a month for the family. This will increase over time.
Amreen says "Now I can help my family from the money I earn. This was not possible before. Now I am proud that I can contribute to the family."
With such skills, and generating income through her work, Amreen will also be breaking ideas about the worth and abilities of girls. This will bode well, not only for Amreen's own future, but for all the girls and families who come into contact with her, who will be forced to confront their own assumptions.
Thank you all for funding this life changing work.

Kajal's situation is a common one among so many of the children in these villages. Her parents and 6 siblings barely survive financially. They make money by collecting and selling branches of the neem tree, which people use to clean their teeth. They have a total monthly income of 2,000 rupees (about £22) and live in a hut which they have constructed themselves.
Kajal desperately wanted to go to school. She saw clearly that following in the footsteps of her parents meant to remain trapped in a life of poverty. However, school enrolment fees of 510 rupees, in addition to the cost of study materials, meant that school was not an option for her. Instead, she spent her time collecting neem tree branches with the rest of her family.
Last month, during a rally that was taking place in her village, she met some of the project staff. She explained her wish to attend school, but that her family's poverty meant she could not. After speaking to Kajal's family, and hearing about the situation from them, the project staff began work. First, they negotiated with the Headmaster of the local school to allow Kajal to attend, in spite of her inability to pay fees. They then arranged educational material and a uniform for Kajal, so that she was equipped to pursue her dreams of studying.
The project staff are in regular contact with the family. There is little change in their living circumstances, but for over a month now Kajal has been happily attending school. She is already talking about completing her education and helping to improve her family's financial situation.
Kajal is one of many thousands of children which this project is helping. Thank you for supporting this life-changing work.

New elderly homes code lacks teeth, say critics
Legislators and community groups say revised monitoring rules are insufficient
New measures to strengthen the monitoring of homes for the elderly were far from being enough to improve the poor standards of service, legislators and concern groups said yesterday.
The comments were made after the director of social welfare, Paul Tang Kwok-wai, told Legco's welfare services panel yesterday that more staff would be deployed to conduct frequent inspections at homes.
He said they would strengthen licensing controls and encourage residents and their families to log complaints about poor services.
The department also tabled a revised code of practice for elderly homes, which will take effect from October and includes requirements and guidelines covering such areas as food quality, meal arrangements, bathing skills, nursing and personal care.
But the social welfare head came under fire from lawmakers, who complained that the government's measures were too abstract.
'The policies are far from precise,' said Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung, who represents the welfare sector. 'The government only says it will strengthen [the monitoring system], but it doesn't precisely say how to do it.'
Apart from licensing controls, inspections and guidelines, Mr Cheung said Hong Kong could follow the example of many western countries and set up an accreditation system.
'The accreditation system would prioritize elderly homes into different grades and performance checks could be done once a year,' he said, adding that a code of practice alone was not enough. Legislator Lee Cheuk-yan, of the Confederation of Trade Unions, criticised some of the guidelines in the code.
'It mentions having two shifts of workers in those homes every day, meaning that they still have to work about 11 or 12 hours every day,' Mr Lee said. 'This is not an improvement.'
Fok Tin-man, of the Society for Community Organisation, was also disappointed with the guidelines. She said the revised code of practice only focused on 'hardware' such as premises and fire facilities but ignored 'software' such as staff quality.
Panel chairman Chan Yuen-han said she felt a sense of helplessness in solving the issue.
'I've sat here for 10 years and we discuss this issue every year, but every time we can't solve the problem,' she said. 'I can't see the possibility that we can solve the problem in this meeting.'
She said she would propose the setting up of an individual committee to follow up the issue in the coming panel meeting.
There are 578 private homes and 166 run by non-governmental organisations. The social welfare department received 122 complaints about private homes for the elderly in the first six months of the year, and about 240 complaints are recorded every year.

Integrating the built and natural environments, the newly completed Croton Water Filtration Plant is a now providing water to New York City. With the capacity to filter 290 million gallons of water per day, approximately 1/3 of the City's water needs, the Plant is New York City's first filtration plant and the result of an interdisciplinary project team.
The City receives the majority of its water from nearby reservoirs, providing the largest unfiltered water supply in the U.S. and earning the City's reputation for the cleanest drinking water. However, due to development within the Croton Watershed, water quality deteriorated and in 1998 the City was required to build a filtration plant to meet federal drinking water requirements.
To reduce the footprint of the Plant, one of the City's largest infrastructure projects, it is built approximately 80-feet below ground in Van Cortlandt Park and includes a 9-acre green roof – the Mosholu Golf Course driving range. The team used green infrastructure and water resource management best practices to solve key challenges of how to collect, filter, and store water on site. The result of a creative collaboration between regulators, architects, and ecologists, the design minimizes the discharge of stormwater and groundwater into the sewer system by on-site treatment using constructed wetlands and bioswales benefiting the surrounding ecosystems.
The multi-billion dollar project has been a long time in the making, from the initial concept designs to excavation to construction and planting to flowing water.
The project was led by the Hazyen and Sawyer/ Metcalf & Eddy Joint Venture. Great Ecology supported the Grimshaw Architects Team along with Rana Creek, Workshop: Ken Smith Landscape Architect, Atelier Ten, and Sherwood Design Engineers.
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection has more details on the Plant, including additional photos and a video of a blast during the creation of the 12-ft diameter, 880-ft long tunnel.
Below are just a few of our top images from the project.Leave a comment

Is there any way to print a website/web page? I.e. you know the url.
I know there is a way to do it by loading it into a webview and printing it, but this seems a bit OTT.
So is there a

Many thanks

Understanding then rewiring nodulation:
Unlike most plants, legumes (such as peas and beans) are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen (nodulation), so break the agricultural dependency on expensive and environmentally costly nitrogen fertilisers. If we understand the molecular basis of why legumes nodulate but other plants don't we could improve nitrogen-use efficiency in our crops. This would improve food security, a major research priority and one within the agri-tech strategy remit.
How does cell identity affect nitrogen responses and nodulation, and can we re-tune it?
We use Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) combined with genomics to measure the gene expression of all regulatory pathways and interpret them in the context of root phenotypes. This is critical since nodules develop from a specific root cell type and root environmental responses have a high degree of cell specificity. We also want to investigate how rhizobial responses (nodulation) intersect with responses to other mutualists in the rhizosphere to improve plant productivity.
Exploiting cross-talk to direct crop improvement:
To create a realistic model of plant resource use it is critical to study the combined effect of many environmental factors since plants have to balance many selective pressures. For example, acquiring a feature that has a positive impact on water uptake might also have a negative impact on disease resistance. Our work in this area includes:
Engineering microbial effector systems in plants:
Application of cell type analysis to delineate genes acting in specific locations and under specific conditions. We can use this to predict which promoters and genes could be engineered to enable new functions, including altered plant disease responses and altered mutualistic responses (Theme 4 in the Warwick Integrative Synthetic Biology Centre).

Can your LinkedIn company page replace your corporate website?
There is a debate among marketing and corporate communications professionals as to what is more engaging and important.
Is it your company's LinkedIn page or your company's website? Undoubtedly I believe that it is your LinkedIn company page and here's why.
Many people say that they have posted blogs and articles on their company website and very few people have read them let alone shared them. They are basically getting no engagement.
The answer to me is a pure numbers one. Build it and they will come is a myth. Build it and you have to spend dollars marketing it. However if someone else has already built a community that has more than 300m people, then why not focus on that? Or at give it attention alongside your corporate site?
Three ways to duplicate LinkedIn ad campaigns
LinkedIn ad targeting is great. But when you have to duplicate a campaign, you may run into trouble.
Here's how you can avoid it.
Five simple tips for improving your LinkedIn B2B marketing
Many people say to me that they don't generate any business through LinkedIn. I have a simple reply. You're doing it wrong.
There has also been some debate recently on the Econsultancy blog around whether Facebook is more effective than LinkedIn for B2B marketing.
To counter this argument, here are five best practices to make the most of LinkedIn and achieve your business goals...
Seven reasons why Facebook is more effective than LinkedIn for B2B marketing
For marketers, picking a digital ad platform to use and to master is important and is taken with as much care as any major commitment or purchase.
Here are some strong arguments why Facebook may be a better platform than LinkedIn for your B2B campaigns.
Facebook vs. LinkedIn: which is better for B2B marketing?
Do you ever wonder which social network is best for B2B marketing?
Me too, so I did some audience research and found some surprising results.
Here's how you can do it too.
Why are Asian banks letting the HR department run their LinkedIn page?
As a marketer I shudder when I see a valuable communications channel like a LinkedIn company page being misused by non-marketing people such as human resources (HR).
What a missed opportunity to engage, inspire and market your company.
Would you let your HR team create your corporate website? Of course not.
So why are they allowed to be anywhere near your LinkedIn company page where they can do untold amounts of damage to your brand by not engaging and communicating?
10 US digital marketing statistics we've seen this week
More US digital marketing statistics for you this week.
Highlights include a user milestone for LinkedIn, the changing revenues of US newspapers and consumer attitudes towards digital advertising in automotive. And lots more, of course.
Enjoy, and make sure you take a look at the Econsultancy Internet Statistics Compendium for more stats.
Why LinkedIn needs to improve its search and ad targeting
LinkedIn search targets ads poorly, resulting in wasted clicks, and returns poor people search results.
Here's why this is important and how LinkedIn can improve this feature.
42% of online adults in the USA use two or more social networks
Facebook is still the dominant social site in the USA, but even more adults are now signing up to multiple platforms.
These findings come from Pew Internet's latest research, based on a sample of 1,800 adults.
Currently 73% of online adults now use social networking sites, and with our friendship groups, colleagues and professional connections scattered across even more social networks than ever before, it has become a necessity to sign up to multiple platforms in order to engage with them all.
I've even had to adopt a second Twitter account to separate my own 'church and state' (or less-professional nonsense from even less-professional nonsense.)
Here are some more social network stats from the research, covering Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the relative audience crossover between each platform.
20 mind-blowing social media statistics: three years later
Back in 2010 when social media marketing was still in its infancy our former research director Jake Hird rounded up more than 20 mind-blowing stats that gave an overview of how the industry was progressing.
Since then Jake has emigrated to an old British penal colony and these stats have become somewhat less mind-blowing as people now accept that social media is a massive industry.
Even so it's still interesting to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit these statistics to see the extent to which social media usage has changed in the past three years.
So, here they are:
Six ways travel brands are using social for content strategy
If content is king, then social is definitely queen. With a fast growing digital society that loves to post and boast, social media has become a fundamental tool in a content marketer's kit.
And for the travel marketers, social has been a gift. Done well, a great campaign can far outreach any traditional marketing activity in terms of audience and influence.
Social, no longer seen as a bolt-on channel, has become an integral part of travel marketing, from PR, reputation management to customer engagement. And in many ways, it's also the voice of the brand.
Virgin Atlantic's director of brand & customer experience, Reuben Arnold says: 'Social media helps us demonstrate our personality and what we're about'.
10 brand infographics worth their salt and your time
Disclaimer: I hate infographics!
If not the medium, the execution is so often poor, as is the chosen subject. But I feel differently when it comes to brands. I'm interested in learning about brands and their activity.
So, I've collected 10 stellar infographics here for your viewing pleasure. They're not all by brands themselves, but all include brands and their footprints.
They range from the mind-blowingly expansive (see the brands that own the brands) to the fruity and fun (see the Die Hard promotion).
Just click on each stub to enjoy the full infographic. Happy stat attack!

I wanted to open up the topic to discuss ways to encourage or incentivize users to fill in information in a user profile on a website, such as skills, location, organization, etc. More information in a user profile can give a website an improved capability for its users to search, network, and collaborate.
Without bugging users to fill in their profiles (ie - via annoying e-mail reminders), what other ways have you come up with to encourage user input?

School officials in the Glendale-River Hills district discussed the complexity of crafting a 2012-13 budget at a meeting Monday.
At the moment, the district has cash reserves in the fund balance hovering around 7.17 percent, and District Administrator Larry Smalley suggested increasing the amount to about 9.8 percent of the total budget in the upcoming school year.
School districts and municipalities with lower fund balances can be affected adversely with lower bond ratings which, in turn, can create difficulty borrowing money in the future. Cash reserves also are beneficial in the event of an unanticipated expense.
But the School Board and administrators are weighing other issues, including staff salary increases, health care contributions and other benefit costs. A proposal also is on the table to add a section in next year's fourth-grade class because of an anticipated swell in enrollment.
The district's budget building process will continue for several months. The board will act on a draft version of the budget in July, in advance of a public hearing in August.

And you can't complain about it, Herb gave the company it's ethos and it continues to this day. They won't assign seats...reason, LAZINESS. They won't collect bag fees...reason, LAZINESS. Everything is just too-much-trouble. I'm surprised Southwest pilots don't fall asleep at the controls more often. Staying awake is just too-much-trouble.....
digruntled employees should not post. they may be found out
The reason for all of your complaints are summed up in one statement. The RESERVATION SYSTEM AT SWA IS ANTIQUATED. Do your checking. They can't charge for bags because the reservation system can't handle it. Mr. Kelly has known this for years and I am hoping when a new one comes on-line you will literally see a BILLION DOLLARS suddenly appear to the bottom line. Can you imagine how many bags this carrier has in the belly of all those 737's riding just for free?
Sentiment: Buy
Is that why Southwest get's the second best customer satisfaction rating in the industry???
Roger, you certainly are a dope.
Why don't you go fly DAL, AMR, UAL, LCC -- they'll be glad to charge you for your checked luggage ... LOL!
