Although the West Wei event ended, but Baidu PPC promotion is still affected. Recently, the anonymity of Baidu bid Commissioner claimed that the "China Business News" reporter, the original bid to promote the bid 10 yuan can be ranked in the first position on the left side, but after May 24, you need to bid 35 yuan Home came in, instant promotion costs increased by 3.5 times.
Our reporter learned that May 24 the same day Baidu adjustment notice issued to promote information, the main results are adjusted from the original amount of information on each page of the promotion of 18 plummeted to the following four. So, to reduce the amount of information Baidu to promote what impact will its customers? Whether Baidu's revenue will be affected by a decrease in the number of promotion sharp fluctuations? Our reporter on the auction Commissioner, promotion of enterprise, Baidu bidding and other agencies on the chain conducted a comprehensive investigation.
Marketing costs soared members cited dissatisfaction bid
Wei after the West incident, had slightly secretive bidding industry surfaced. Affected by the event medical bidding mostly shelves, many medical competition commissioner facing unemployment, other industries are also affected to some extent bid. The May 24 Baidu to promote the adjustment of a paper notice, bidding for the entire industry is like a punch.
From May 24, every business promotion information page number not more than four.
In the education and training industry do bid Commissioner Han Bing (pseudonym), told reporters exclaimed: & ldquo; after the Western Wei event, work bids Commissioner getting harder and harder. & Rdquo;
After the beginning of May the west Baidu Wei outbreak, a joint investigation team stationed in Baidu. May 9 investigation team announced the rectification requirements, in addition to the requirements of full and immediate rectification Baidu medical category of commercial promotion, but also explicitly requested in its May 31, 2016, article by article for business promotion information raises eye-catching logo, and be risk warning; strictly limit the proportion of business promotion information, each page shall not exceed 30%.
After the outbreak, Baidu began to promote the consolidation of medical bids, two other rectification requirements, but also has on May 17 and May 24 honored. Recently, many friends exclaimed in Baidu search page fresh and clean a lot, then before this is what happens then?
Reporters found that, after the promotion of Baidu search page position can be divided into left and right sections, above and below the left side of the search results can have a promotion place, up and down the left side before rectification promotion bits add up to a maximum of up to 10, on the right Usually there are 8 bits promotion, and caught in the middle position to promote the natural result of retrieval is generally 10. That is, until the rectification of which about two-thirds of all search results Baidu paid to promote, only about 1/3 of the content of the natural search results.
May 31, correspondent to & ldquo; tumor & rdquo;, & ldquo; Dermatology & rdquo; & ldquo; mechanical & rdquo; and other criteria in the Baidu search found search results business promotion from 2 to 4 range, up to four.
In fact, the so-called PPC is actually highest bidder of the game, who will be able to bid higher or top surface. It is worth noting that the promotion of bits from 18 to four dips, a decline of more than 3/4, which means before the originally home business promotion, more than three quarters after rectification will be out of business promotion Home show, companies will We had to raise prices to compete for the remaining four home location.
Han Bing told reporters: & ldquo; Promotion bit later reduced our previous core keyword prices 50 to 60 yuan may be able to ranked first in the home, recently bid had risen to more than 120 (yuan) a. More than doubled. & Rdquo; another bid Commissioner buffalo (a pseudonym) sighed and said: & ldquo; the original 16 (dollars) words, now 26 (Yuan) positions yet. & Rdquo;
Reporter investigation found that although each industry PPC keyword prices ranging from a few cents to several hundred dollars, but after Baidu to reduce the number of promotion, there was a general keyword prices go up, an increase of some 350%.
Bidding strategy: holding the slow death of large enterprises small enterprises
& Ldquo; enough to go & rdquo; & ldquo; wolf little more meat & rdquo ;. Han Bing and other auction Commissioner described the current business situation. At the back of the business desperately want to press forward, business day is not better than the top surface. & Ldquo; Although the click prices, but clicks and almost before, the most important is obviously not as good as before the conversion. & Rdquo; technology companies responsible for an unnamed person on the "China Business" reporter revealed, feeling now doing PPC is not a glorious thing.
Han Bing told reporters, after the Western Wei event, web consulting lot less. & Ldquo; old recently said that many sales calls less these days. And now the bad market, among peers malicious clicks more, click on one hundred and eighty ten gone, we feel bad. & Rdquo;
Although the unit price of keywords generally improved, but the reporter's investigation, the current medium-sized enterprises to promote the total consumption changed little.
Han Bing where education and training is a little not small businesses throughout the country, many cities have campuses. He disclosed that the company spent on PPC's daily consumption of about 1 million, the company and Baidu signed annual contracts, the annual consumption of 300 million.
According to Baidu statistics, there are currently more than 623,000 businesses use Baidu promotion, including both listed on the GEM of the major companies, including many small and medium enterprises.
Baidu to promote a customer service agent told reporters, Baidu promotion agents operating by the majority, only Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other small parts of the city where they are doing is Baidu. SMEs in general by the Baidu customer service or agency responsible for customer service, enterprise spending limit is not fixed; and medium-sized enterprises from Taikehubu responsible for general sign annual contracts specific amount.
Winning network public relations senior manager Li Yingjie told this reporter, winning network and Baidu signed package price throughout the year, in addition to the packaging content bids as well as creative writing, brand area, Baidu intimate and other commercial products, which accounted for 60% of the bids proportion. & Ldquo; Baidu promotion recently made adjustments, but our costs substantially no increase & rdquo ;.
& Ldquo; Baidu signed by fruit trees and is 100 million-year promotional contract, including SEM (PPC), DSP, CPC and other forms of trafficking. & Rdquo; because fruit marketing director Zhou Qing told reporters: & ldquo; we are now in keyword prices from 0.5 to 10 per month, serving relevant, highly specialized, so much competing products, to reduce the bit Baidu promotion we are not affected. & Rdquo;
Insiders said that the most affected are in fact SMEs. & Ldquo; count our competitors, how also more than four ah! & Rdquo; buffalo represented, keyword prices, large companies can burn, but some of the smaller budgets of small businesses will be eliminated. He said: & ldquo; in fact, only a small family place to promote competition, in front of three large positions using automatic tendency bid ranking, small farmers raise $ 1, 30% put up big, small farmers is difficult to compete too big. & Rdquo;
Baidu when adjusting also aware of the impact that may arise, the customer service requirements to guide customers aware of Core Words bid may be more intense, there is the strength of the bids, bids may increase the core words.
The results of the auction rules reform is actually big business money stoned small businesses. & Ldquo; Our current strategy is to pin down the big companies, small businesses slow death. & Rdquo; Han Bing told reporters.
& Ldquo; Baidu promotion reduction effect increased bit difficult competition, driving up prices. SME sales function-oriented, if up too much, some companies may turn to do from the media, so content; large companies started to keep the price may rise up, feel the effect until after the price up is not very good, they also do not vote, the bid will have ecological dynamic balance. & Rdquo; China Electronic Commerce Association Network Integration Committee of Experts Marketing Research Center Tangxing Qualcomm said in an interview with this reporter said.
Business model or clinical exams
Baidu to promote adjustment policies came out, broke the news on the web: As Baidu to promote the reduction of the amount of information, affecting the income of Baidu bid, Baidu is considering SEO (search engine optimization) fee.
SEO is based on natural search engine ranking system on site within the enterprise through external adjustment and optimization, and improve their natural rankings in search engines to get traffic. Understanding is simply the natural result of the search user.
Baidu public relations staff, told reporters, he said the rumors are rumors broke. & Ldquo; Baidu search results included natural and sort algorithms have a stringent procedure is automatically calculated and arrangement, without any influence of third-party companies, Baidu does not provide any SEO service, but will not pay for the introduction of so-called SEO services. & Rdquo;
He said rumors spread is actually based on the promotion of Baidu Baidu revenue adjustment will have an impact. Adjustment promotion model of what will have much impact on Baidu it?
Tangxing through said Baidu bid adjustments to revenue relatively large, second-quarter revenue would be difficult to achieve. & Ldquo; On the one hand, before the medical and pharmaceutical (network marketing revenues) accounted for a large; on the other hand, Baidu bid suffered national regulators, the business model of the future can not withstand scrutiny. & Rdquo;
Statistics show that the main profit comes from Baidu search services, search engine business through PPC sales model implementation. Baidu 2016, a quarterly show, the total revenue of 15.821 billion yuan, an increase of 24.3%, of which network marketing revenues of 14.931 billion yuan, accounting for revenue ratio of 94.4%, an increase of 19.3%; and expects second quarter revenue ~ 20.58 billion yuan to 20.11 billion.
Newspaper reporters had previously reported that medical-related advertisers accounted for 15% to 25% of Baidu's total revenue in 2014, 2014, Baidu average revenue from each customer's network marketing is about 59,400 yuan. This time, after the rectification promotion, the promotion of basic medical-related shelves, small and medium enterprises in other industries also face cleaning on Baidu revenue is quite substantial.
Baidu public relations department sent a letter to the reporter on the above issues, but as of press time reporter Baidu did not make a positive reply to this question.
Wei been accused by the West of event marketing 360 searches previously said, abandoning the medical impact of commercial promotion of income is not small, but also did not disclose the specific amount of loss.
It is noteworthy thing, occasion marketing Sogou search and search for 360 in the West Wei event, in the near future to promote the rectification pace is not the same.
May 24 Baidu to promote the reduction of the number, 31 May reporter survey found that Sogou search has been followed up, 360 search has not been followed. Reporters in Baidu, Sogou and 360 search respectively enter the same keyword & ldquo; financial statements & rdquo; & ldquo; rubber seals & rdquo; like Baidu and Sogou business promotion number only on the left side 3-4, and 360 search results in the left top eight marketing, here are three promotion, on the right there is 6 to 8 promotion.
Reporters sent a letter to the promotion of the number of issues 360 searches, 360 searches Zhu PR person in charge, he told reporters that the current 360 through the search has not found any medical business promotion. For the amount of information the search business promotion, the company has developed adjustment program will be announced soon after the clear.
Search engine business promotion faces became pale sky, the industry believes that the West Wei event is actually a need to make adjustments in the warning Baidu profit model. Tangxing Tong told reporters: & ldquo; business model flow has ended, the Internet-based business opportunities in Baidu Trades business model has been played 15 years ago, the entry value Baidu traffic has declined. The business model is now into the community, small groups, internal flow of information and marketing. & Rdquo;

Here's one of them: Afrevania longipetiolata. Notice anything unusual?
|Brightfield images of Afrevania longipetiolata, anterior to the left.A: Dorsolateral view. B: Dorsal view.
It has teeny tiny wings. Or at least that's how they first appear. In reality, the wings are folded in a way that's completely new for wasps. You can see the complex folding pattern below:

Interestingly, while other wasps don't fold their wings this way, some cockroaches, and these wasps prey on cockroach eggs. Is this the best way for an insect to get into the places where cockroaches lay their eggs?

For gamers that are having difficulties it out for a roster location, the preseason is a thirty day period-prolonged audition. For absolutely sure veterans, the preseason is a year in the direction of demonstrate they even now should have prolonged taking part in year The Cowboys consist of stated that they will not be reluctant toward Deliver a younger man participating in year if he warrants it. It transpired ultimate 12 months While the Cowboys could possibly consist of rivaled their 1975 draft system. Through obtaining their heir-very clear quarterback late with a compensatory select, jogging all about the league with their initially-spherical operating back again, using their 3rd-spherical defensive take care of historical past 5.5 sacks, and using 9 commences out of a 6th-spherical cornerback, Dallas nailed 2016.There are however some marvel marks that the staff members will be demanded in direction of remedy https://www.dallascowboysgearshop.com/71-Chidobe_Awuzie_Jersey. There are veterans upon this personnel that will want their representatives within just the preseason in the direction of preserve their starting up work or for a longer time taking part in period. Which Cowboys' veterans will not purchase the benefits of chill out and really should shift all out inside invest in in direction of get the preseason? Who is down below stress?5. CB Nolan CarrollThis incorporates Quite minor in the direction of do with his approaching DWI arrest and excess toward do with who he's shifting up towards. Carroll is made up of been talked about as a additional athletic Brandon Carr however the Cowboys are not dedicated toward everybody. They just signed Carroll towards a employees-pleasant 3-calendar year package that is in essence 3 just one-yr specials. Carroll is a gentleman who consists of invested year in just this league which might Deliver him a leg up early still that sure doesn't suggest he harmless.Amongst some others, Carroll will combat beginner Chidobe Awuzie, who was one particular of the nation's most straightforward cornerbacks inside of 2016. Awuzie is as a result flexible and that's been a should-comprise for the Cowboys more than this offseason. Dallas gave Anthony Brown a probability closing time and he did not disappoint.

Other groups including the Chiefs comprise detailed they are not concerned in the direction of commence the younger guns, Carroll should demonstrate that his expertise and encounter is much too Excellent in the direction of go upon.4.

The Cowboys misplaced Terrell McClain inside free of charge firm, which delivers Thornton one more shot at the activity.The Cowboys go adult males all over and Thornton was much better toward conclude the 12 months than each time he commenced. If Cedric can resemble the male that we all observed inside of Philadelphia, this personnel will be capable toward say that they comprise identified an enhance toward McClain, who might by no means keep on being wholesome. Nevertheless, Thornton will not basically facial area a pair newcomers, he'll in addition combat in opposition to Stephen Paea, who incorporates mentioned his most straightforward performances beneath Rod Marinelli. Individuals 2 vets comprise a ton in the direction of show nonetheless the revenue is currently hooked up in the direction of Thornton who is impression the brunt of the stress straight at present.3. DE DeMarcus LawrenceSure, Tank is inside a agreement yr, that by yourself must result in the tension issue towards enhance nonetheless it's extra than that. Lawrence is made up of been the Morris Claiborne of the defensive line Jaylon Smith Jersey, believe pertaining to it: Dallas gave up collateral in the direction of draft him mainly because he was their "previous likelihood" at instantly defensive finish. Because then, he broke his foot as a novice and disregarded 8 game titles. He stepped out inside 2015 with 8 sacks yet he on top of that experienced Greg Hardy. Lawrence finished up consuming offseason again surgical procedures in advance of the 2016 year. Lawrence furthermore experienced toward put up with an additional back again treatment this offseason.Soon after a lackluster 2016 time, Lawrence will comprise the probability in the direction of acquire that commencing directly close undertaking. That's a stage the Cowboys actually require anyone in the direction of arise at. They drafted a pace-demon inside Charles Tapper inside of 2016 nonetheless he redshirted his starter period. They in addition drafted Taco Charlton this calendar year still Lawrence is turning out to be the 1st break at the placement. Lawrence necessities in the direction of operate nicely this 12 months not precisely for the staff members he's upon nonetheless any employees who may possibly be intrigued for future 12 months Charles Tapper Jersey. Lawrence consists of the mixture of techniques in direction of be that gentleman. If Tank Lawrence is as organized as he suggests he is, the Cowboys may well view a high growth inside 2017.2. LG Jonathan CooperCooper includes substantial footwear towards fill departed through Ronald Leary inside the offseason. For the initially season within few several years, the Cowboys are changing 2 work upon their vaunted offensive line. The place the legitimate marvel lies is at the remaining shield issue. The worry is upon Cooper who was a very first-spherical variety https://www.dallascowboysgearshop.com/45-Lael_Collins_Jersey. Dallas consists of experienced results with adult males inside the over and above together with Marc Columbo and Leonard Davis. Cooper is made up of been nowhere in close proximity to the person the Cardinals notion they drafted a couple many years back. Nonetheless, this is his probability toward fairly show that he can deliver it inside of the NFL. The moment flaming out for a lot of groups, he is made up of in direction of overcome out a 3rd-spherical pick out that includes an destruction heritage. The Cowboys together with Cooper however they will not acknowledge their offensive line becoming inadequate. Males which include Doug Totally free and Leary were being underappreciated yet they gained't be a breeze towards exchange https://www.dallascowboysgearshop.com/88-Jahad_Thomas_Jersey. 1. QB Kellen MooreWhere some including Scott Linehan and Wade Wilson look tender with their QB2, other people are not as a result resolved. We'll want towards look at Moore go the offense in just the preseason and close scoring drives toward verify Linehan's self-confidence. Inside a great international, your newbie and fast backup will at minimum amount obtain 3 facts upon their drives. Moore will have to have towards appear to be together with a male who not simply knows the offense nevertheless a gentleman who can function it with good results.Inside of the NFL, no person is extensively offered upon their backups and the Cowboys are no choice. If another person will become offered, what Linehan feels will not issue, the Dallas Cowboys will need towards stay clear of a 2015 functionality at all selling prices. If Moore is lackluster within just the preseason, the Cowboys will generate a go.The exhibition fits may possibly not feel as significant yet once your self seem at adult males that are competing for a roster vacation spot, it tremendous major. This is not such as greatest working out camp battles, there are genuine chances for more youthful avid gamers. That places a whole lot of tension upon veteran men that are hoping towards preserve their actively playing year.

Population growth, urban expansion and economic development are increasing competition for water use between agriculture and other users. In addition, the high rate of soil degradation and declining soil moisture in the Sub-Saharan African Region have called for several crop production management and irrigation options to improve soil fertility, reduce water use by crops and produce 'more crops per drop of water'. Notwithstanding this, considerable variations exist in the literature on water-use efficiency, WUEcwu (economic yield per water used) for maize (Zea mays L.) across climates and soil management practices. Different views have been expressed on the effect of different rates of nitrogen (N) application on transpiration efficiency, TE (biomass produced per unit ofwater transpired). The objectives of the study were to assess the effect of different rates of N-enriched municipal waste co-compost and its derivatives on TE, WUEcwu and yield of maize (Z. mays L.) in comparison to inorganic fertiliser. The greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in Accra, Ghana on a sandy loam soil (Ferric Lixisol) using a split plot design. The main plot treatmentswere soil (S), dewatered faecal sludge(DFS), municipal solidwaste compost (C),co-compost from municipal solid waste and dewatered faecal sludge (Co), compost enriched with (NH4)2SO4 (EC), co-compost enriched with (NH4)2SO4 (ECO), (NH4)2SO4 and NPK15-15-15 + (NH4)2SO4. The sub-plot treatments were different rates of application of nitrogen fertiliser applied at the rate of 91, 150 and 210 kg N ha1 respectively. Maize cv. Abelehii was grown in a poly bag filledwith 15 kg soil. Eight plants per treatment were selected randomly and used for the collection of data on growth parameters forth-nightly. At physiological maturity two plants per treatment were also selected randomly from each treatment plot for yield data. The results showed that TE of maize (Z. mays) varied for the different treatments and these are 6.9 Pa in soil (S) alone to 8.6 Pa in ECO. Increase in N application rate increased TE at the vegetative phase for fast nutrient releasing fertilisers (DFS, ECO, EC, NPK + (NH4)2SO4, (NH4)2SO4) and at the reproductive phase for slow nutrient releasing fertilisers (C and CO). Water-use efficiency increased significantly as rate of N application increased. Treatment ECO improved crop WUEcwu and was 11% and 4 times higher than that forNPK + (NH4)2SO4 or soil alone; and 18-36% higher than those for DFS and CO. Treatment ECO used less amount of water to produce drymatter yield (DMY) and grain yield (GY) that was 5.2%and 12.6%, respectively, higher thanNPK + (NH4)2SO4. Similarly, the DMY and GY for ECO was 8.9-18.5% and 23.4-34.7%, respectively, higher than DFS and CO. High nutrient (N and K) uptake, TE, and low leaf senescence accounts for 83% of the variations in DMY whereas WUEcwu accounts for 99% of the variations in GY. Thus, the study concluded that different sources of fertiliser increased TE and WUEcwu of maize differently as N application rate increases.

Doll Love
In the hotel that night Tamao makes his first appearance in her dreams, Tamao, a life size wax doll standing in her room,in her dream the thought presents itself to her that, 'It seemed that i had been living in this room with the young man, and in this same room I would go on living with him in the future'. She begins to caress him, the more she does the more he seems to come to life, 'there was a pulse as if his heart was beating'. The dream seems to last the entire night, in the morning, waiting at the elevator door she encounters a young man almost identical to Tamao, and without thinking she calls him 'Tamao' he doesn't disagree to this given name, over the next few pages the narrator explores her fascination with both the real life Tamao and the wax doll who she had subconsciously named Tamao,and the relationship between the two, noting about the real life Tamao 'It was as if his smile, held captive in flesh that suggested an inanimate object, radiated from deep within the innermost part of his body', and she notices the doll like qualities of the real life Tamao, 'the mode of his exsistence was devoid of expression'. Each night she dreams of the doll, caressing him more and more, slowly awakening life in him and in the day she meets with the real life Tamao, over their afternoon meetings she begins to get to know more about him, they talk about his forthcoming exams a painting by Albert Martin, and a musical score by Toru Takemitsu called 'Love',on one of their meetings her thoughts provoked by observing some plants, she asks him if there are any botanical gardens nearby, he gives her directions. She continues dreaming of the wax doll Tamao, bringing him to life by her touch, and in her dream she applies lipstick to the lips of the doll, increasing it's resemblance to a living being. The following morning seeing the real Tamao at the elevator door she thinks she detects a trace of lipstick, he runs away, this alludes to the possibility that the dream Tamao and the real life Tamao are one and the same, but later when examining her bed she finds the hollow where his head had lain and finds one of his hairs, holding it up to the light, she sees that it's exactly like that of her own, which hints that it all could be an illusion, a product of the woman's grief?, the narrative follows closely the fine line between the possibly real, and the possibly imaginary. She visits the botanical gardens and through associations of observations of the plants there the woman's narrative blends back to being the woman she saw in the house near the beginning of the story, 'I felt myself expanding in a boundless space. The antique copper watering can was heavy in my hand. Morning and evening I water the roses like this, everyday'.
This enigmatic story has many looping elements within it,this is an intricate and subtly written story which could be read as a feminist fable, maybe an exploration of grief, Doll Love is amongst stories collected in the anthology, This Kind of Woman:Ten Stories by Japanese Women Writers 1960-1976, edited by Yukiko Tanaka and Elizabeth Hanson published by Stanford University Press. Recently published by Columbia University Press is Lonely Woman.

I just checked-a substantial portion of this story and other stories in the collection can be read on line at Google Books (a few pages are missing) but is is a very good sample-new the book is very expensive on Amazon but is available also used at a reasonable price-I will be buying this book!

I finished reading Inside and Other Short Fiction:Japanese Women by Japanese Women which i really enjoyed and This Kind of Woman seemed like an excellent book to follow it,i'm always in two minds to review single stories or complete anthologies,but this story seemed to stand out.Luminous Watch by Tsumura Setsuko looks equally fascinating,but they all look like interesting stories,i'd love to read some of your thoughts on them!.
