iPRO Staffing provides recruiting services and business support tools to independent recruiters. It was founded in 2006 by Janet Murphy and Joe Doyle, who have over 30 years of combined recruiting experience. iPRO currently has 20 recruiters with an average of 10 years experience in executive recruiting. The company aims to allow recruiters to run their own businesses while saving thousands in costs through discounted access to recruiting software, databases, and other services normally too expensive for individual recruiters. Recruiters keep 80% of commissions compared to 45% at most agencies, potentially earning thousands more annually. iPRO also provides administrative and business support services to help recruiters focus on placements.
This document provides information about Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon. It describes their backgrounds, physical characteristics, personalities, leadership styles, and effectiveness. Lincoln was the 16th US President who led the country during the Civil War and emancipated slaves. Nixon was the 37th US President who resigned due to the Watergate scandal. The document analyzes them as a transformational leader (Lincoln) and autocratic leader (Nixon) and examines their strengths and weaknesses.
Improving Requirements Glossary Construction via ClusteringLionel Briand
The document describes an approach for automatically building requirements glossaries by clustering natural language requirements terms. It presents an approach that identifies candidate terms, calculates similarity between terms, clusters similar terms, and filters results. It evaluates the approach on two industrial case studies containing 380 and 110 requirements respectively. The evaluation analyzes accuracy of term extraction, effectiveness of different clustering techniques and parameters, and runtime. Results show the approach can accurately extract and cluster terms in reasonable time. Future work to improve accuracy using semantics and identify relationships between development artifacts is discussed.

Oil Search Limited reported its 2015 Half Year Results. Key highlights included record half year production of 14.3 mmboe, nearly triple the production in 1H14. Net profit was up 49% to US$227.5 million due to the full period of LNG and condensate sales from the PNG LNG Project. The interim dividend was tripled to 6 US cents per share and the company maintained its full year production guidance despite lower oil prices.
The document discusses next generation mobile messaging and new options for advertising. It outlines Tekelec's view of the mobile landscape, including the growth of smartphones and mobile applications. It describes how over-the-top players like social networks have impacted messaging and the potential for Rich Communication Suite (RCS) to provide an interoperable alternative.

Heroes and Horses is a three-phase program that uses horses and the remote wilderness to help combat veterans discover their post-combat identity and how to move forward in their lives at home. The program measures its impact through input and output data to understand if it is truly helping veterans or simply providing a vacation. It aims to quantify success rather than just existing. The document provides statistics on veteran suicide rates, number of veterans with PTSD, and veteran homelessness to argue that while many organizations collect billions to help veterans, the challenge of restoration remains. It encourages people to get involved by applying to volunteer, donating funds, or connecting on social media.

Four Tips For Successfully Implementing Your CAD SystemSOLIDWORKS
Congratulations! You have just purchased new 3D CAD software that promises to help your engineers design innovative products faster and with fewer errors. The steps outlined in this paper should help your company realize the benefits of your new toolset.
Streamlining Product Documentation Across the Manufacturing EnterpriseSOLIDWORKS
For many years, manufacturers simply had to accept more time delays and greater costs as they developed product documentation in multiple languages to support growing global markets. But today, product developers are gaining competitive advantage, saving time, and cutting costs with a new class of integrated software tools. With 3D authoring software like 3DVIA Composer™, your company can use 3D CAD data to automate the product documentation process—without modifying product designs. By addressing the changing nature of CAD data, this associative documentation tool seamlessly and effortlessly keeps your documentation up to date.
Squeeze Time and Money out of Production Using Design for ManufacturabilitySOLIDWORKS
Product design does not occur in a vacuum and has a significant impact on manufacturing. In fact, 3D design carries even greater potential for streamlining production processes, especially when you take advantage of Design for Manufacturability tools and applications. With these technologies, you can avoid the manufacturing delays, cost overruns, and shop-floor retrofits that work against your company’s success and competitive position.
CAD Manager's Guide to Implementing a 3D CAD SystemSOLIDWORKS
This 3D guide is designed for people who need to implement 3D CAD throughout their company. You may be a CAD
manager, a designer, or an engineer who believes that your company can benefit from 3D—or you may be an IT person
who has just received a mandate to evaluate 3D software. Whatever your title may be, part of your job is to get your
company up and running on 3D CAD software.
Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Design TeamSOLIDWORKS
1. The document discusses strategies for companies to continuously improve their design teams and processes. It suggests automating repetitive tasks, identifying past mistakes to prevent future errors, leveraging CAD data, and automating scheduling to improve productivity and morale.
2. Design teams can help drive down costs and increase competitiveness by improving products faster. They can also help sales and marketing teams by providing accurate proposals and realistic product visualizations.
3. Small, continuous improvements can lead to big gains over time. Companies that continuously improve their design operations will see continuous improvements in their business results.
Using Design Automation to Reduce Costs and Increase ProfitabilitySOLIDWORKS
By implementing design automation, manufacturers can complete custom engineering that previously took days in just minutes. Design automation expedites the creation of models, drawings, quotes, and manufacturing data. It captures engineering rules and expertise to simplify product variations. While many companies want design automation, the definitions and capabilities vary. True design automation is a system that can automatically apply engineering to product variants, driving CAD and interacting with other systems, to generate finished designs quickly. It is most effective for products customized from a central design.
This paper relates two heat sinks, a medical suction device, a household oven, and an industrial control valve as examples
that illustrate how SolidWorks® Flow Simulation can help design engineers create the best possible product designs
when dealing with heat transfer and fluid flow problems. SolidWorks Flow Simulation is an intelligent, easy-to-use
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program that will facilitate the work of design engineers who use SolidWorks 3D
CAD software for design creation.
Bridging the Worlds of 2D and 3D CAD DesignSOLIDWORKS
As manufacturers rapidly transition from 2D to 3D CAD in today’s digital world, designers are demanding 3D to enhance their designs and improve communication. From websites to rapid prototyping, customers, designers, and engineers now depend on the latest 3D modeling tools.
In this paper, we highlight the advantages of designing with SolidWorks® 3D CAD software as well as explaining how to leverage your existing 2D CAD data once you have decided to go 3D.
Streamlining Design With Real World Vibration AnalysisSOLIDWORKS
Mechanical designers often use vibration simulation as a timesaving and cost-efficient alternative to the traditional approach of building, testing, modifying, and retesting their designs. By identifying the factors that influence the response to a dynamic load in a computer model, designers have the data needed to make the right improvements before they even cut a single piece of metal. In addition to greatly decreasing the number of actual prototypes required, vibration analysis also significantly reduces the costs involved.
SolidWorks® helps you move through the design cycle clearer. With intuitive sketching tools, your team can
automatically dimension their sketches as they draw, for more accurate designs.
