Everyone wants more clicks, which is why your search click-through-rate is one of the most important elements that factors into your PPC efforts. The higher your %CTR, the more you can spend on relevant keywords within your account, which means you get more clicks and hopefully create more business for you and/or your client.
Click-through-rate plays an important role in an account's ecosystem; for example, it's one of the biggest factors that plays into quality score. In this article I will discuss some methods on how you can increase your search click-through-rate in Google AdWords.
1. Create Multiple Ad-groups
You can have hundreds and thousands of Ad groups within each campaign, which means that you don't need to 'stuff' all of your keywords in one Ad group. It is not uncommon for new PPC practitioners to write one Ad when they create their first campaign and Ad group, then think about all of the products/services they have to offer and put them all into one campaign – (DON'T DO THIS… please).
What happens is that you won't be able to generate a tightly focused message which is customised to your audience which means that in a competitive environment, you are not as likely to receive clicks.
A good starting point is 10 – 20 keywords per Ad group. Monitor your results and see if there is room for further segmentation, just remember that 10 – 20 is not the 10th commandment of PPC advertising.
Splitting your keyword clusters by for example, products, topics, locations, etc. enables the possibility for a more customised experience and better engagement with the users you're targeting which is what we're aiming for.
2. Use Your Keywords
If you use your targeted keywords in the Ad copy Search Engines make them bold. This in turn makes the ad more likely to grab the users' attention. But be warned!! Use your keywords in a way that makes sense, now when I say makes sense I mean don't create an ad copy and fill it with keywords so it reads: "Buy a stool, brown stools, grey cushions online here" – ok?… another reason to segment your Ad groups in a neat and tightly focused way.
In the example below, you can see an Ad copy that was displayed after searching for "hdtvs for sale" on Google. Notice that "HDTVs", "sale" and even "TV's" are bold which means that the advertiser has used my search query in the headline (which I recommend). They have also used the search query in the description. The advertiser at least grabbed my attention.
Using your keywords in your Ad copy creates a great relationship between search query and Ad copy, which search engine users relate to and find relevant.
3. Increase Your bids
You'll most likely end up paying more for the click if you increase your Max. CPCs, but if the quality of the traffic that comes from the keywords you're buying is good then that shouldn't stop you! Just remember to make sure to check your goals before making this decision.
Increased bids mean higher average positions, at least temporarily, and higher positions mean greater %CTRs – assuming that everything else is hunky dory of course, like your Ad copy.
The example below visualizes the impact of decent incremental CPC bids. These are of course filtered averages; here I saw a 44% increase in %CTR but also a 60% increase in Avg. CPCs on average as a result.
4. Numbers & Punctuation FTW!
Brackets, exclamation marks, question marks and more are yours to use, so try them out! Punctuation marks are neat instruments to utilise when creating an Ad copy. They are especially useful if you put in the right context; question mark behind a question (can be used in the headline) or punctuation with a call-to-action.
You can also try using numbers in your Ad copy, if it applies, to stand out -especially if you see that most or none of your competition isn't using them. You can try e.g. "50+ Great day Tours" instead of "Over Fifty Great Day Tours" – it also saves space if and when you need it!
5. Extend Your Headline
Using a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of description line 1 creates a longer headline when the Ad appears above or below organic search results (in the golden box) and gives you a chance to get better visibility, especially if you use your keywords in both the headline and description line 1.
Here's an example of the same Ad copy, the top example has a full stop at the end of description line 1 which creates the extended headline while the bottom one not. This is also good to keep in mind when you're thinking about the quality of your Ad, if the bottom example was displayed in the golden box my description would read "…It's Easy Increase Visibility…" which sounds a bit strange.
6. Use Ad Extensions
Sitelinks, social, location, call extensions, and more, are easy-to-use additions that increase your real estate (space) on the search engine result pages (SERPs). They give you a greater opportunity to shout out your message with greater visibility and increase the likelihood of a click. The sitelink extension, to me, is a must use in every Ad group/campaign even if it's just for the sole purpose of achieving greater visibility. If you aren't using Ad extensions, do it now! Here's an example of how the sitelink extension created more space for the top advertiser, notice that they have around half of all the space in the box:
7. Test different match types
Phrase and exact match keywords help you further refine the positions that your Ads will appear in, and while broad match keywords have greater reach than exact or phrase match keywords, they also make you eligible to appear for non-relevant listings, which might end up hurting your performance.
If your keyword list is mainly comprised of broad keywords I recommend shifting the balance and implement more phrase and exact match keywords.
8. Mind your negative keyword lists
This is my most important tip. Optimisation is key to success in any online campaign. Monitoring your search query reports and blocking irrelevant queries e.g. with a low %CTR is a great way to increase click-through-rate and also the quality of traffic you get from your PPC campaign.
For those of you who don't know where the search query reports are you'll find them under the keywords tab > Details > All.
With these 8 tips in mind you're ready to kick some serious %CTR. Start by using something basic like implementing sitelinks, using keywords in your Ad copy, a full stop after description line 1 and keep going from there.
Increasing %CTR is something that requires disciplined tests and not necessarily something that can be achieved overnight so I urge you not to give up if your first tries fail – trial and error is a part of becoming a true master of the art of PPC.
Keep in mind that because %CTR plays a big role in quality score calculations it affects your ROI which is another great reason why you should not ignore this metric.
One final note: stay on the path of context – become a true PPC Jedi Master. One of the most awesome perks of running a PPC campaign is the power to be in the right place at the right time – in other words, in front of potential customers at the exact time that they are searching.
I really hope that these points help you to grow your account.
There are many more tips and tricks you can utilize to increase your %CTR. If you have a great tip to share with the rest us I'd love to hear it!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Foothill Ranch Store Denied Accommodation for Attendant With Cerebral Palsy, Federal Agency Charged
SAN DIEGO — Retail giant Target Corporation will pay $160,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that Target refused to provide a reasonable accommodation for a cart attendant with cerebral palsy at its Foothill Ranch store in Orange County, Calif.
According to the EEOC's suit, Target hired Jeremy Schott in 2002 as a part-time stocker. By 2003, he was dubbed the "Target Hero of the Month" and transferred to a cart attendant position at his request, according to the EEOC. Schott suffers from cerebral palsy, limited intellectual functioning and a seizure disorder. His disabilities require that he be reminded to do certain tasks and that a job coach assist at times with his duties and job-related meetings. However, the EEOC said that Schott was able to perform the essential functions of the job with the accommodation of a job coach.
The EEOC's suit charged that while Schott succeeded early on with the assistance of a job coach and task reminders, Target later failed to ensure the presence of a job coach during work-related and job performance meetings. Following a 2004 medical leave of absence due to a seizure, Schott's work hours were decreased dramatically, sometimes down to only eight hours per week.
The EEOC originally filed its lawsuit in August 2009 in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division (EEOC v. Target Corporation, Case No. SA CV 09-0963 AG (ANx)), arguing that this conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). After first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement, the parties ultimately entered into a three-year consent decree, which also required that Target designate an ADA coordinator in its corporate level human resources department and implement a company-wide policy regarding requests for reasonable accommodations. The company also agreed to train executive team leaders and team lead employees on handling requests for reasonable accommodations. Target will also submit reports to the EEOC regarding certain complaints of disability discrimination occurring within Target's corporate district encompassing the store in question.
"People with disabilities can be productive employees when their needs are heard and met," said Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office. "However, employers must be mindful to treat workers with disabilities fairly and decently and ensure that reasonable accommodation requests are properly carried out."
Marla Stern, local director for the EEOC's San Diego Local Office, which has jurisdiction over Orange County, added, "Unfortunately, most employers are still unfamiliar with how easy it is to work with individuals with disabilities. "The first step is honest and respectful communication between managers and employees on how to best assist workers with disabilities in reaching their full potential, and the cost of reasonable accommodation is often minimal."
According to Target's website, the Minneapolis-based company operates more than 1,750 stores in 49 states nationwide, including more than 240 Super Target stores.
The EEOC is the federal agency that enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

On Wednesday, Mark Williams, the outgoing chairman of Tea Party Express — the astroturf group operated by the Republican Party PR firm Russo Marsh & Rogers that organized the three, secretly corporate-funded nationwide tea party bus tours last year — made headlines by calling the NAACP "professional race baiters" and a "vile racist group." On Thursday, he upped the ante by posting a satiric letter (available, at least for now, on his blog at marktalk.com) from the "Colored People" of today to Pres. Abraham Lincoln:
Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
"Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by someone else. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we say that belong."
– Outgoing Tea Party Express Chairman Mark Williams
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the 'tea party movement'.
The tea party position to "end the bailouts" for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn't that what we want all Colored People to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us Colored People! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of "reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government." What kind of world would we have is I ever to control and be responsible for my life own? As Colored People we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions and if you do not agree than there is not enough Colored in your People, as we labeled Ken Gladney [source]
The racist tea parties also demand that the government "stop the out of control spending." Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! Totally racist! The tea party expects Colored People to be productive members of society, especially when our mission is to convince them that progress is impossible for them based on the color of their skin?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by someone else. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we say that belong.
Ben Jealous, Tom's Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person
On a much more trivial level, this is more evidence that conservatives should avoid trying to be funny. What conservatives find humorous — jokes at the expense of people perceived to be less entitled than themselves, which is pretty much anyone who isn't a straight, white Protestant male — is just not funny to normal people.

AEM Forms provides a set of OSGi services to accomplish different document level operations, for example, services to create, assemble, distribute, and archive PDF documents, add digital signatures to limit access to documents, and decode barcoded forms. These services are included in AEM Forms add-on package. Collectively, these services are known as document services. The list of available document services and their major capabilities is as below:
Enables you to combine, rearrange, and augment PDF and XDP documents and obtain information about PDF documents. It also helps convert and validate PDF documents to PDF/A standard, transforms PDF forms, XML forms, and PDF forms to PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, and PDFA/A-3b. For more information, see Assembler Service.
Enables you to convert PDF documents to PostScript or image files (JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, and TIFF). For more information, see ConvertPDF Service.
Enables you to extract data from electronic images of barcodes. The service accepts TIFF and PDF files that include one or more barcodes as input and extracts the barcode data. For more information, see Barcoded Forms Service.
Enables you to encrypt and decrypt documents, extend the functionality of Adobe Reader with additional usage rights, and add digital signatures to your documents. The Doc Assurance service contains three services: signature, encryption, and reader extension. For more information, see DocAssurance Service.
Enables you to encrypt and decrypt documents. When a document is encrypted, its contents become unreadable. An authorized user can decrypt the document to obtain access to its contents. For more information, see Encryption Service.
Lets you create interactive data capture client applications that validate, process, transform, and deliver forms that are typically created in Forms Designer. The Forms service renders any form design that you develop to PDF documents. For more information, see Forms Service.
Enables you to create documents in different formats, including PDF, laser printer formats, and label printer formats. Laser printer formats are PostScript and Printer Control Language (PCL). For more information, see Output Service.
The PDF Generator service provides APIs to converts native file formats to PDF. It also converts PDF to other file formats and optimizes the size of PDF documents. For more information, see PDF Generator Service.
Enables your organization to easily share interactive PDF documents by extending the functionality of Adobe Reader with additional usage rights. The service activates features that are not available when a PDF document is opened using Adobe Reader, such as adding comments to a document, filling forms, and saving the document. For more information, see Reader Extension Service.
Lets you work with digital signatures and documents on the AEM server. For example, the Signature service is typically used in the following situations:
- The AEM server certifies a form before it is sent to a user to open by using Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
- The AEM server validates a signature that was added to a form by using Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
- The AEM server signs a form on behalf of a public notary.
The signature service accesses certificates and credentials that are stored in the trust store. For more information, see Signature Service.
AEM Forms is a powerful enterprise-class platform and document services is one of the capabilities of AEM Forms. You can install and configure AEM Forms to use only document services or all AEM Forms capabilities. If you configure only document services, you can further choose to configure only one or more services. The article provides detailed instructions to install and configure all the document services.
AEM Forms add-on package is an application deployed onto AEM. Generally, you require only one AEM instance (author or publish) to run AEM Forms document services. The following topology is recommended to run AEM Forms document services. For detailed information about topologies, see Architecture and deployment topologies for AEM Forms.
Although AEM Forms allows you to set up and run all the functionalities from a single server, you should do capacity planning, load balancing, and set up dedicated servers for specific capabilities in a production environment. For example, for an environment using the PDF Generator service to convert thousands of pages a day and multiple adaptive forms to capture data, set up separate AEM Forms servers for the PDF Generator service and adaptive forms capabilities. It helps provide optimum performance and scale the servers independent of each other.
Before you begin to install and configure AEM Forms document services, ensure that:
- Hardware and software infrastructure is in place. For a detailed list of supported hardware and software, see technical requirements.
- Installation path of the AEM instance does not contain white-spaces.
- An AEM instance is up and running. In AEM terminology, an "instance" is a copy of AEM running on a server in the author or publish mode. Generally, you require only one AEM instance (author or publish) to run AEM Forms document services:
- Author: An AEM instance used to create, upload, and edit content and to administer the website. Once content is ready to go live, it is replicated to the publish instance.
- Publish: An AEM instance that serves the published content to the public over the internet or an internal network.
- Memory requirements are met. AEM Forms add-on package requires:
- 15 GB of temporary space for Microsoft Windows-based installations.
- 6 GB of temporary space for UNIX-based installations.
If you are using the UNIX-based operating system, install the following packages from the installation media of the respective operating system:
- (PDF Generator only) Install the 32-bit version of libcurl, libcrypto, and libssl libraries and create the below symlinks. The symlinks point to the latest version of the respective libraries:
- /usr/lib/libcurl.so
- /usr/lib/libcrypto.so
- /usr/lib/libssl.so
- (PDF Generator only) PDF Generator service supports WebKit and PhantomJS routes to convert HTML files to PDF documents. To enable conversion for PhantomJS route, install the below listed 64-bit libraries. Generally, these libraries are already installed. If any library is missing, install it manually:
- linux-gate.so.1
- libz.so.1
- libfontconfig.so.1
- libfreetype.so.6
- libdl.so.2
- librt.so.1
- libpthread.so.0
- libstdc++.so.6
- libm.so.6
- libgcc_s.so.1
- libc.so.6
- ld-linux.so.2
- libexpat.so.1
Pre-installation configurations
Configurations listed in the pre-installation configurations section are applicable only to the PDF Generator service. If you are not configuring the PDF Generator service, you can skip the pre-installation configuration section.
If you are going use the PDF Generator service to convert native file formats such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, OpenOffice, WordPerfect X7, and Adobe Acrobat to PDF Documents, ensure that these applications are installed on the AEM Forms server.
- Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint are available only for Microsoft Windows. If you are using the UNIX-based operating system, install OpenOffice to convert rich text files and supported Microsoft Office files to PDF documents.
- Dismiss all the dialog boxes that are displayed after installing Adobe Acrobat and third-party software for all the users configured to use the PDF Generator service.
- Start all the installed software at least once. Dismiss all the dialog boxes for all the users configured to use the PDF Generator service.
After installing Acrobat, open Microsoft Word. On the Acrobat tab, click Create PDF and convert a .doc or .docx file available on your machine to a PDF Document. If the conversion is successful, AEM Forms is ready to use Acrobat with PDF Generator service.
Set environment variables for 32-bit and 64-bit Java Development Kit, third-party applications, and Adobe Acrobat. The environment variables should contain the absolute path of the executable used to start the corresponding application, for example, the table below lists environment variables for a few applications:
Environment variable
JDK (64-bit)
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74
JDK (32-bit)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_74
Adobe Acrobat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 2015\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org4
- All environment variables and respective paths are case-sensitive.
- JAVA_HOME, JAVA_HOME_32, and Acrobat_PATH (Windows only) are mandatory environment variables.
- The environment variable OpenOffice_PATH is set to the installation folder instead of the path to the executable.
- Do not set up environment variables for Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Project, or for AutoCAD. If these applications are installed on the server, the Generate PDF service automatically starts these applications.
- On UNIX-based platforms, install OpenOffice as /root. If OpenOffice is not installed as root, the PDF Generator service fails to convert OpenOffice documents to PDF documents. If you are required to install and run OpenOffice as a non-root user, then provide sudo rights to the non-root user.
- If you are using OpenOffice on a UNIX-based platform, run the following command to set the path variable:
export OpenOffice_PATH=/opt/openoffice.org4
Change the default SSL socket factories to use the JSSE2 factories instead of default IBM WebSphere factories:
Default content:
#ssl.SocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl #ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.jsse2.SSLServerSocketFactoryImpl #WebSphere socket factories (in cryptosf.jar) ssl.SocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLServerSocketFactory
ssl.SocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.jsse2.SSLServerSocketFactoryImpl #WebSphere socket factories (in cryptosf.jar) #ssl.SocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory #ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLServerSocketFactory
If you are running Microsoft Windows Server, configure the Ink and Handwriting service. The service is required to open Microsoft PowerPoint files which use inking capabilities of Microsoft Office:
Change the Microsoft Office trust center settings to enable the PDF Generator service to convert files created with older versions of Microsoft Office.
The user account used to start the application server requires the Replace a process level token privilege. The local system account has the Replace a process level token privilege by default. For the servers running with a user of the Local Administrators group, the privilege must be granted explicitly. Perform the following steps to grant the privilege:
You can enable a non-administrator user to use the PDF Generator service. Normally, only users with administrative privileges can use the service:
Verify that registry setting for UAC is set to 0 (zero). Perform the following steps to verify:
- Microsoft recommends backing up the registry before you modify it. For detailed steps, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
- Open Microsoft Windows Registry editor. To open registry editor, go to Start > Run, type regedit, and click OK.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\. Ensure value of EnableLUA is set to 0 (zero).
- Ensure value of EnableLUA is set to 0 (zero). If the value is not 0, change the value to 0. Close the registry editor.
While converting a document to PDF using the PDF Generator service on Windows Server, occasionally, Windows Server reports that the executable has encountered a problem and needs to close. However, it does not impact the PDF conversion as it continues in the background.
To avoid receiving the error, you can disable the Windows error reporting. For more information on disabling error reporting, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754364.aspx.
On UNIX-based platforms, the PDF Generator service supports WebKit and PhantomJS routes to convert HTML files to PDF documents. To enable HTML to PDF conversion, perform the following configurations, applicable to your preferred conversion route:
Copy the Unicode font to any of the following directories as appropriate for your system:
- /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
- /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
- /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType (Solaris)
- On RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.x and later, the courier fonts are not available. To install the courier fonts, download the font-ibm-type1-1.0.3.zip archive. Extract the archive at /usr/share/fonts. Create a symbolic link from /usr/share/X11/fonts to /usr/share/fonts.
- Delete all the .lst font cache files from the Html2PdfSvc/bin and /usr/share/fonts directories.
- Ensure that the directories /usr/lib/X11/fonts and /usr/share/fonts exist. If the directories do not exist, then use the ln command to create a symbolic link from /usr/share/X11/fonts to /usr/lib/X11/fonts and another symbolic link from /usr/share/fonts to /usr/share/X11/fonts. Also ensure that the courier fonts are available at /usr/lib/X11/fonts.
- Ensure that all the fonts (Unicode and non-unicode) are available in the /usr/share/fonts or /usr/share/X11/fonts directory.

The PDF Generator service provides multiple routes to convert HTML files to PDF documents: Webkit, Acrobat WebCapture (Windows only), and PhantomJS. Adobe recommends using PhantomJS route because it has the capability to handle dynamic content and has no dependencies on 32-bit libraries, 32-bit JDK, or requires no extra fonts. Also, PhantomJS route does not require sudo or root access to run the conversion.
The default primary route for HTML to PDF conversion is Webkit. To change the conversion route:

The City of Charles Sturt would like to acknowledge the land we occupy today is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the greater Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
Kaurna Culture
The City of Charles Sturt was proclaimed on 1 January 1997 as a result of the amalgamation of the former City of Hindmarsh Woodville and the City of Henley and Grange.
The City is situated west of the Central Business District of Adelaide, South Australia extending to the coast with a population of approximately 120,000.
People choose to live in the City because it is close to the beach, the CBD, the airport and regional shopping facilities. The City of Charles Sturt has long been considered the sporting and entertainment hub of Adelaide, with national basketball, soccer and football stadiums, three privately owned golf courses, an international rowing course, the River Torrens Linear Park, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, the coast and numerous highly regarded local sporting venues in the area.
The City is also well catered for in terms of schools, medical services, local sporting and community facilities including libraries and community centres.
The Charles Sturt area has evolved since the early days of settlement of Adelaide, and is characterised by a mix of residential, industrial and commercial land uses, which include contemporary and highly valued heritage areas. The transport networks within the City are well developed and is set to be further developed in future years to make public transport from the West to the CBD even easier.
Those that live, work, invest and visit the City of Charles Sturt already know it is a place that is vibrant and full of opportunities.
The video below celebrates the City's points of difference, through its iconic locations, coastline, economic opportunities, people and attractions.
Many of us are already in the know, but find out why so many people love the Westside.

The beautiful documentation photographs were taken by Olwen Holland. Olwen mentioned how the older beings such as Hyacinth and Tall Legs seem to show the same personality traits whether they are at home or "on location" as they seemed to be in Notting Hill.
Hyacinth seems to be taking on the role of Grande Dame of Frillip Moolog.
I had all sorts which is exactly what I wanted. I got people who went away and then returned for a second time. I had children wide eyed with wonder and I had adults wide eyed with surprise, amusement and happiness.
It didn't take long before the staff at the Artspace started to observe that the reaction, whatever the age of person, was the same; and the show started to be described as being joyous and uplifting.
The period of the show while in Notting Hill meant that I could get out to more exhibitions and galleries in London (spreading the word about Frillip Moolog) and encouraging people to visit the show to see the beings in the flesh.
Some people still couldn't make it over to Notting Hill so with the help of Karoline Newman I went to them. It was a real privilege to be able to do a one to one presentation for Beth Smith at Selvedge magazine.
As I said, the Artspace team began to feel like family. When we first suspended Ziggy, Angie, Russell, Celeine and Stan (my first non floor based beings) they were there with the scaffold tower and were fantastic at advising while also ensuring that I felt ownership of the show. I felt supported and also empowered.
They helped to organize a group of home educated children so that I was able to run a day long workshop which complemented Close encounters of a Frillip Moolog kind.
Laura and Susan ensured that the private view really was a party and gave technical support for my Artist Talk.
But most amazing for me is that they were there when, as we were packing the beings up at the end of the show, a collector who had been admiring Bettina over the previous 24 hours, came back to buy her!
They were so pleased for me. They witnessed me meeting someone who admired Bettina so much that he chose to buy her to add to his art collection. (Her new country of residence will be Switzerland.)
Sadly there's no photo of us, 20 minutes later, sharing a bottle of sparkling wine together in the kitchen! (Thank you Dave xx)
The opening event at venue 2, Solihull Arts Complex, is 22nd October and the show runs until 14th November. Another great opportunity to have an audience with the beings and to find out more about the world of Frillip Moolog.

Assignment within conditional expressions
It is advisable to not use simple assignments in a conditional expression (such as

If you need to use an assignment in a conditional expression, a common practice is to put additional parentheses around the assignment. For example:

Orange Park Medical Center no longer a trauma center
Florida Department of Health says hospital did not meet requirements
ORANGE PARK, Fla. – Orange Park Medical Center will no longer be a trauma center because it did not meet the requirements.
The hospital lost its provisional license after inspectors found its standards for approval as a level two trauma center had not been met.
"The provisional trauma center did not meet the standards for verification, and must cease operating as a provisional trauma center immediately," the Florida Department of Health said in a statement. "The Department of Health remains committed to maintaining those standards on behalf of injured patients."
Four of 19 areas noted as deficient were the emergency department, acute rehabilitative services, psychosocial support systems, and quality management.
"Shands Jacksonville (Medical Center) remains a verified level one trauma center within the Trauma Service Area Five to meet the needs of injured patients in Clay County," the statement reads.
Orange Park Medical Center had been operating at a provisional Level II trauma center because the Florida Department of Health found their application acceptable based on a provisional review. Then the department came back for an in-depth review, making an onsite visit to the hospital.
The department says the hospital submitted a response to the report from the site visit, but the review team still determined the hospital didn't meet the standards for approval.
Trauma centers require 15 specific physician specialists, including trauma surgeons, neurosurgeons, pediatric specialists, to be on call and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They must have a burn unit and usually are teaching hospitals. They are required to provide coverage from the same specialists and subspecialists as level one centers, but the time requirements and in-house staff requirements are different.
Those in Clay County say it's a disappointment. They felt comfort knowing they had a trauma center nearby.
"It's peace of mind knowing that it's close by," resident Tina Aguayo said. "So if something major were to happen, it wouldn't take 30 minutes to get to where you need to get to be taken care of, and that can mean life or death."
"We have car crashes and stuff where it would have been great if we had had the trauma unit here, but we have to go all the way to another hospital in Jacksonville that would put other people's lives in danger," resident Ruth Battle said.
Anthony Udekwu, M.D., F.A.C.S, Trauma/Critical Care Surgeon of Orange Park Medical Center, released the following statement in reaction to Thursday's announcement:
"We are very disappointed and surprised that we received notification from the Department of Health denying our provisional status. As customary in the evaluation process, we have been working with the Department to ensure residents of Clay County have local access to trauma care. We intend to appeal this decision and will suspend trauma care operations until the appeal.
"While we disagree with this decision, our commitment remains with the community and the patients we serve. Since we received our provisional status over a year ago, we have cared for more than 1,000 trauma patients, saving countless lives that may not have had the same outcome if we were without this level of care. In fact, our trauma center¹s survival rate is over 95%, which is better than the state of Florida¹s average.
"Our trauma center has been focused on providing life-saving trauma care to patients in a part of the state where there is the most need. Research shows that someone with the most severe, life-threatening injuries has the best chance for survival if he or she receives trauma care within the first 60 minutes of injury. And when this care is received at a specially equipped trauma center, those chances increase by 25%. Before this trauma center opened its doors, Clay County did not have a local trauma center and our trauma patients had to be transported at least a 30 minute drive to downtown Jacksonville for trauma care. When minutes are the difference between life and death, forcing patients to endure lengthy travel costs lives.
"The heavy traffic and population growth we have seen in Northeast Florida has resulted in increased transport times for critical trauma patients to get to the nearest trauma center in downtown Jacksonville. When Shands Jacksonville is not an option because it is too busy, the next closest trauma centers to Orange Park Medical Center are an 80 minute drive to Gainesville or a 120 minute drive to Daytona Beach. Both of these options are well outside of the maximum 60-minute window to give patients lifesaving treatment and the best chance to survive.
"As we all know, this decision impacts not just our hospital community, but it will negatively impact the lives of all those in the Orange Park area. We will continue to work with the Florida Department to provide high quality care to our patients."
Shands Jacksonville Medical Center also released a statement on Thursday's move. It reads:
"Today the Florida Department of Health, in response to its closure of the trauma facility at Orange Park Medical Center, instructed the emergency transport system at Shands Jacksonville (TraumaOne), along with all other EMS providers in our region, to begin sending all trauma patients to Shands Jacksonville.
"It is important to note that today's decision by the Department of Health to close Orange Park Medical Center's trauma center, based on the center's deficiencies, is distinct from the legal challenges that we and other hospitals in Florida have brought, in which several justices have agreed with our view that the state should not approve additional trauma centers until appropriate rules and criteria have been defined. The proliferation of trauma centers without an appropriate needs assessment jeopardizes the ability of any one trauma center to obtain the patient volumes needed in order to develop and remain proficient in the delivery of trauma care, and in the training of the next generation of trauma physicians and nurses.
"It is our view that a regionalized approach to trauma care is the safest and most efficient approach to the delivery of trauma services in Florida. As the region's only Level I trauma center, the goal of Shands Jacksonville has always been, and will continue to be, the welfare of our patients. Providing the best trauma care to the citizens of Northeast Florida is our ultimate objective, and it is something we have done with passion and pride for more than a quarter century."

After Root Canal Retreatment, Your Tooth Can Last a Lifetime
Virtually Painless
Infection and decay below the surface of your tooth can be painful. Root canal retreatment is virtually painless. Plus, the recovery is much more comfortable than a tooth extraction. Once treatment is complete, you can enjoy a pain-free smile.
Lasting Results
Root canal retreatment restores the integrity of your tooth and can prevent an extraction. Saving your tooth offers lasting benefits by maintaining the density of your jawbone and the natural strength of your smile.
Root canal retreatment is generally less expensive than replacing your tooth. If you opt to remove the tooth, you will need to pay for a bridge or dental implant to restore your smile, in addition to the price of the extraction.

Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviewed Mr. Anderson. Borash asked him his stance on Aces & Eights. Anderson mocked him and said, "you guys are so kliq-y around here" and told Borash to grow up. He said that as far as Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle were concerned, Angle called him out to fight and he was ready to fight. He said that Angle decided to roll around with Aces & Eights.

Jeremy Borash interviewed Kenny King about the X-Division tournament final. King said that he was a freight train and the only thing that can stop it is Superman. He said Christian York isn't Superman and tonight isn't about York, it's about RVD. He said that when he tagged in RVD, he wanted to see if it was true. He left RVD in the ring for Morgan to kick him in the face on purpose. He said RVD has gotten soft. He said that RVD isn't the same man who used to battle Sabu and kick Jerry Lynn's head off ten years ago.

They battled back and forth until York was nailed and sent to the floor. King drilled him into the railing and rolled York back in for a series of near falls. King kicked away at York in the corner. York fired back with chops.
King regained control but was caught going for a leg lariat and folded backwards with a nasty suplex. King avoided a charge but was nailed with a series of clotheslines. York used a Russian legsweep variation and clotheslined King in the corner.
They battled onto the apron, where King failed at a cartwheel kick and York nailed one instead. York went to the top and nailed a double stomp off the ropes for a two count.
They went into a sequence of near falls and reversals with some hot moves. York went for a cannonball in the corner but King rolled out of the way. King drilled him with a pair of knees in the corner but York kicked out. King went for a La Magistral but York reversed it and scored the win.
Your winner, Christian York!
Good match. York is a star. King came off well here as well.
After the match, King laid out York, upset over having lost. King then tried to call out Rob Van Dam.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in ChinaHolst Jensen, Mads (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Taking into account a broad range of stakeholders who may affect or be affected by corporate action, the perspective of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) carries the promise of a win-win situation for all. CSR in China is highly topical, as the country is integrating into the supply chains of the major global players, but the ideals of CSR are a far cry from the realities of production in "the workshop of the world". In this paper I will discuss key issues relating to the process of adapting CSR into the Chinese context. I will focus on the position of the PRC political leadership. I argue that the leadership seems to pursue an agenda of submerging CSR under the control of the Party-State and conceptualizing CSR by reference to a blend of an eclectic interpretation of Western European welfare models and CSR conceptions with an eclectic interpretation of Chinese tradition and political culture. As a result, CSR in China lacks the element of multi-stakeholder dialogue, which is commonly recognized as the core element of CSR in Western countries.

The role of equity in the transition from egalitarianism to capitalismRutten, Koen (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The 'Scientific Development Concept', promulgated by Hu Jintao in 2007 articulated the increased eminence of social development in official ideology. The shift from political and economic objectives towards social factors can be explained by growing concerns over the current negative externalities of China's economic growth, the long and midterm sustainability of its economic development model and the implications thereof for social stability and political legitimacy. An immediate priority has been to formulate and implement a response to mitigate the disruptive effects of the transition to a market economy. Such a response must cover a wide array of social issues, ranging from provision of health, education and infrastructure, pension to unemployment insurance and poverty alleviation. The welfare issue is characterized by high degrees of complexity and interdependency between endogenous factors and exogenous political and economic variables. Improvements are further confounded by the high decentralization of administration, regional disparities and the sheer size of operations. Although progress has been made on most fronts, it remains to be seen whether recent initiatives will prove sufficient to meet China's social challenges. In this paper, I provide a summary of the academic literature on post-reform development of the welfare system. I will give an overview of its most salient problems, initiatives and their preliminary outcomes. Finally, I will present some concluding remarks and provide suggestions for future research.

Yenching University, St. John's University and Yale in ChinaGjedssø Bertelsen, Rasmus; Thybo Møller, Steffen (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyses the historical 'direct' soft power of American missionary universities in China and their 'reverse' soft power towards American society until their nationalization in the early 1950s. The paper also addresses the soft power of the legacies of these historical universities. This analysis is based on the cases of St. John's University, Yale-in-China and Yenching University. American missionary universities were founded with the clear 'direct' soft power purpose of attracting the Chinese 'other' to Christianity. However, soft power resources often have unintended behavioral consequences and a particularly interesting one is 'reverse' soft power: Where the intended object society of soft power influences the originator society of soft power, for example, through education and advocacy. American missionary universities exercised substantial soft power both toward the Chinese host society and toward the American society. The institutions in China also left institutional legacies at American—and Canadian—universities which continue to hold soft power in the relationship between American and Chinese society. The extent and limitation of this bidirectional soft power can be discerned from what attracted different actors to these universities and what those and other actors rejected about these universities; this is based on a detailed analysis of the relations between the universities and different public and private actors in the host society and the society of origin. These relations were characterized by the role of the universities as bridges between host society and society of origin carrying much information between societies, raising awareness and interest about the other society, moving elite-level human resources back and forth and raising large financial resources in the USA for education and research in China.

Internal and External Pressures and State ResponsesEmbong, Abdul Rahman (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article examines the role of the state in development, and the question of poverty, inequality and regional disparity in selected ASEAN countries Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines in the context of both internal and external pressures faced by the state and how its responds to them. This article examines the historical context of the socioeconomic transformation, the current state of development, the high level of poverty in these countries (except Malaysia), the pervasive inequality and regional disparity, the various internal and external pressures exerted on the state and the latter's response to them. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of appropriate state policies for inclusive development and the role of civil society to exert pressure to ensure states perform such tasks. It argues that these issues are a result of state policies and institutional arrangements, and that to resolve them, appropriate inclusive policies need to be crafted and effectively implemented. The state has the autonomy and space to devise such policies but it is dependent on the political will of state actors and the role of civil society in engaging with the state to effect such reforms to address poverty, inequality and regional disparity effectively.

The Success Stories of Malaysian SMEs in Promoting and Penetrating Global Markets through Business Competitiveness StrategiesSin, Khoo Cheok (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Over the past decade, the Government of Malaysia has become increasing aware of the significant contribution of small medium enterprises (SMEs) to the national economy. A number of Government programmes and incentives were offered to the SMEs in the past years but with limited impact. This lecture touches on the nature and contribution of the Malaysian SMEs in the first five years of the 21st century. An attempt was made to identify the success factors and weaknesses of SMEs from official reports of Government agencies, and findings of research studies on the subject. Recognising the challenges posed by globalisation and trade liberalisation on the Malaysian SMEs, the Government revamped its policies, programmes, incentives, and approaches which are currently implemented in the Ninth Malaysian Plan and the Third Industrial Master Plan. The objective is to enhance the SMEs' capacity and capabilities through continuous product development, knowledge and technology acquisition to empower them to compete with other global players offering high quality products and services at competitive prices.

The Place Branding of Denmark and SingaporeOoi, Can-Seng (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Place branding has become popular. Places brand themselves to attract tourists, talented foreign workers, investments and businesses. The brand accentuates the positive characteristics of the place; it frames the society and sells its cultures. In the context of tourism, this paper examines the branding strategies of two very different countries – Denmark and Singapore. In Singapore, the convergence between the brand message and the place reality is frequently engineered by creating new brand-related products. In Denmark, the brand tries to communicate an existing local reality; it wants to present a prevailing reality. To the Danes, the brand is descriptive and should portray the country in a positive and accurate manner. To the Singaporeans, the brand is normative and a vision of what Singaporean society ought to become. These countries share common goals when branding themselves but their branding strategies are different, why? This paper situates their strategic differences in the local social, cultural and political context. Although country branding is externally directed, domestic politics and mechanisms of local control affect how the country can brand itself.

A Dynamic Institutional ApproachAggarwal, Aradhna (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive conceptual framework for the rationale, success factors and development outcomes of Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and analyses their performance in selected Asian countries within that framework. It draws on the tenets of the literature on 'dynamics of institutional changes' to introduce basic assumptions and generates a series of propositions as building blocks of the framework. It argues that SEZs are a safety valve that can address inefficiencies within a given institutional context. If used strategically, the SEZ policy can be an exceedingly versatile tool to achieve a variety of goals. The drivers of success and economic outcomes of SEZs depend on the strategic approach adopted by policy makers towards SEZs. There is no single recipe of their success or development outcomes. Finally, institutions evolve in the process of development. So must strategic approaches towards SEZs. New genres of SEZs need to emerge and the existing ones must upgrade to address new institutional challenges, and achieve new goals. It argues that is the SEZ policy and not SEZs per se that need to be the focal point of the SEZ debate. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9537

Some Preliminary ThoughtsBrødsgaard, Kjeld Erik (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is the object of considerable debate in Western scholarship whether an authoritarian political order dominated by a strong communist party can continue to exist in China given the many challenges stemming from internal reform and the impact of globalization. Will China eventually turn democratic and will the communist party become obsolete and disappear, just as has happened in many other former communist countries. There seems to be a general consensus that Chinese political system is bound to change, but there is no agreement as to the direction and form of change... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8368

An Inductive Study from Chinacao, Yangfeng; Zhang, Kai; Luo, Wenhao (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This study aims to put forward a new concept in charismatic leadership theory: source of leader charisma (SLC). Using an inductive approach, we identified the various dimensions of SLC in the Chinese context, and found that SLC comprises of charismatic personality and charismatic behaviors. Charismatic personality consists of three dimensions: high morality, outstanding talents, and attractive characteristics. Charismatic behavior also includes three dimensions: visional inspiration, character development, and morale stimulation. Finally, we developed a primary model to explore the mechanism by which the SLCs are attributed to charisma by follower. Our findings in the present study contribute to new evidence that charismatic leadership theory may transcend cultural boundaries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8659

Implications for U.S. Responses to China's RisePan, Chengxin (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: There has been a commonly held belief, especially in the United States, that Chinese business is distinctively Chinese. Understanding its Chineseness in unitary, monolithic and national terms, this assumption has both underpinned a zero-sum perspective on U.S.-China relations, and fuelled the China threat argument. This paper seeks to critically examine this essentialist construction of Chinese business and its foreign policy implications. Drawing on a global production network (GPN) approach, the paper argues that as well as exhibiting its Chinese characteristics, Chinese business is increasingly characterised by its transnationalness, which calls into question the coherence and unity of the Chinese economy. In this context, the American construction of China as a singular, threatening economic entity not only fails to capture the multiple, unstable identities of Chinese business and the complexities of U.S.-China relations associated with them, but often serves to inform simplistic, counter-productive and even dangerous China policy in the age of global interdependence.

Findings from a handful of clinical trials, including one involving discordant couples where one person is negative and the other positive, […]

Last week I was lucky enough to receive these Swedish Cookies from my mom (via my dad who brought them up with him when he visited.)
When I was younger these cookies were not my favorite because I was more focused on the chocolate and super sweet cookies. But now that I'm older and my taste buds have grown to love a lot more things, I really enjoyed eating these cookies. Thanks mom!
1 C butter
½ C powdered sugar
1¾ C flour
½ C chopped pecans (or a little more)
1 t vanilla
Cream butter well; add remaining ingredients. Roll into balls about 1" in diameter. Bake at 350°
for 15 min. While still a little warm, roll in powdered sugar.

Bake well and prosper!
