It's not easy being an SEO. With a constantly evolving search landscape and ranking algorithms being updated on a daily basis, the need for integration at all levels of an organization means the difference between a good - and great - SEO team is getting wider.
While many publishers are trying to “pivot” towards paid models, subscriber-first has always been in the venerable brand’s DNA. SVP of Digital Media and Content Mark Beard explains how the company’s outsized social reach, its innovative mobile apps, sites and even Snapchat and audio editions – keep their eye on the long game of building a loyal, long term, paying Economist loyalist.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

4. Leading global excellence in procurement and supply
Background to Publishing and Events Tender
• CIPS current publishing supplier has been in place for 18 years and has
delivered events on CIPS behalf for approx. 13 years
• The contract has never been out for tender although renegotiations have
taken place regularly
• The current contract includes some but not all flagship events and ends
Oct 2015
• Until 2010 publishing was a profitable activity for CIPS but the decline in
on-page recruitment advertising has seen a massive decline in publishing
revenues
5. Leading global excellence in procurement and supply
Background to Publishing and Events Tender
• The current contract masks this loss through a ‘bucket’ approach that
includes the magazines and events in one portfolio in which our supplier
takes all the risk and shares reward
• The publishing market is now in a worse place than anybody could foresee
when the current contract was negotiated in 2011 and therefore no
supplier will replicate the existing deal
• Although technically a partnership the current contract terms and length of
tenure have made the relationship transactional (supplier). We wish to
move to a true partnership relationship which will be necessary to enable
us to deliver the new strategy
