The EQF-iServe project funded by the LLP programme of the European Commission, identified and developed five Internet-related services profiles: web marketer, web seller, community manager, Internet hotline operator and usability specialist.
These five profiles include all relevant knowledge, skills and competences, needed for the proposed job profiles and refer them to the eCompetence framework and EQF. This will help to render existing qualifications in this field more transparent and comparable at European level which eventually will lead to easier employability of job seekers, and to overcome the skills shortage that SMEs experience in this area.
Furthermore, EQF-iServe supports training organizations to develop training curricula that correspond to the market needs and that are based on emerging knowledge, skills and competences description standards that guarantee comparability across Europe. In trying to bridge the gap between the educational world and work, it contributes to the goals set in the policy paper "New skills for new jobs".

Today the inkjet industry is exploring how to achieve optimal, repeatable image quality. Brand owners expect high-quality output across all their communication channels. Yet many press manufacturers are frustrated that they are not able to achieve the quality that they expect. The physics of inkjet printing leads to challenges such as losing highlights or streaking and mottling. This is especially the case at high-speed. Experimenting with hardware choices has not overcome these quality problems. Applying color management software is insufficient.
Global Graphics Software, the developer of the Harlequin RIP, has been working with a number of inkjet press manufacturers to develop a solution to address the problem. Since 2011 they have been working on Harlequin ScreenPro, now one of the products in the Fundamentals line-up which will have its debut at Labelexpo Americas. Fundamentals provides inkjet press manufacturers with a single source of software and engineering knowhow. With Harlequin ScreenPro multi-level half-tone screens can be tuned for a specific press/media combination to produce the optimum quality.
We Eat Our Own Dog Food: Three Companies in the World of Localization Technol...Scott Abel
Presented by Richard Sikes at Documentation and Training East 2008 in
Burlington, MA - October 29-November 1, 2008.
Translation and Localization are intrinsically pragmatic endeavours.
They also require a good deal of human effort that can be aided by
technology. Numerous companies have developed solutions to help
themselves, then realized that they were onto a good thing, so they
have productized their proprietary solutions for more generalized
usage. Well-known localization expert Richard Sikes will paint the
background and evolution of three such stories, featuring products for
visual software localization, translation workflow, and translation
business management, and showing how they are used today.
PASSOLO is a leading software technology for visual software
localization. Used worldwide to create software products in many
languages, PASSOLO is itself available in several languages. Pass
Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of SDL International, has
automated PASSOLO so as to use itself recursively to build alternate
language versions.
At Nero, the manufacturer of popular media creation software that is
available in many languages, the localization management team sought,

Drivers and Outcomes to Modernizing Your IntegrationCleo
Many companies are hard pressed to keep their B2B integration infrastructure current in today’s fast paced, constantly changing business environment. New demands from customers, limitations of the legacy IT environment, and extended implementation associated with bringing on new partners are but a few of the challenges that must be overcome.
Integration expert, Barry Sponsler, breaks down how your company can respond to these demands quickly and easily, while reducing risk and keeping costs under control.

Understanding the Different Kinds of Beef in the MarketplaceMark Moreno
The U.S. beef industry offers products that appeal to potential
customers. It accomplishes this through fresh beef identified
by different USDA quality grades (Prime, Choice and Select),
company brands and production methods (conventional, natural,
grass-finished and organic).
The taste, texture, tenderness and other properties of products
carrying these designations can vary, and marketers may
capitalize on the attributes that objectively describe their
products and their production methods. That’s the nature
of marketing.
It is important, though, that proponents of these types of
production methods not misrepresent their beef or beef from
animals raised conventionally. To claim conventional beef
is inferior because it contains minute additional quantities
of certain chemicals (e.g., hormones or pesticides), when the
amounts are insignificant and proven safe by science is not
appropriate. To say that grass-finished beef is superior because
it contains minute additional quantities of certain chemicals
(e.g., conjugated linoleic acid or vitamin E) when it is not
reasonably possible to eat enough to improve personal health,
also is not appropriate.
The U.S. beef industry has a wide variety of types of beef from
which consumers can choose, all of which are safe, wholesome
and nutritious. Conventional, natural, grass-finished and organic
beef are defined by production and marketing distinctions, not
by nutritional or safety differences.

The Facts; Busting the Grass-fed Beef MythsMark Moreno
Marketing claims that grass-fed beef is healthier or
more eco-friendly are a myth. Grain-fed and grassfed
beef are defined by production, marketing and
taste distinctions, not by nutritional or environmental
differences. The No. 1 reason consumers purchase beef
is taste. Grain-fed beef, like the Certified Angus Beef ®
brand, delivers the superior taste consumers desire.

Memorandum Opinion Sysco US Foods Merger / AcquisitionMark Moreno
Americans eat outside of their homes with incredible frequency. The U.S. Department of Commerce, for instance, recently reported, for the first time since it began tracking such data, that Americans spent more money per month at restaurants and bars than in grocery stores. 1 Of course,
Americans eat out at many other places, too-sports arenas, school and workplace cafeterias, hotels and resorts, hospitals, and nursing homes, just to name a few. The foodservice distribution industry supplies food and related products to all of these locations. Foodservice distribution is
big business. In 2013, the market grew to $231 billion. By some estimates, there are over 16, 000 companies that compete in the foodservice distribution marketplace.
The two largest foodservice distribution companies in the country are Defendants Sysco
Corporation ("Sysco") and US Foods, Inc. ("USF"). Both are primarily "broadline" foodservice distributors. As the name implies, a broadline foodservice distributor sells and delivers a "broad" array of food and related products to just about anywhere food is consumed outside the home.
In 2013, Sysco's broadline sales were over 40 billion and USF's were over 20 billion.
Order Granting Preliminary Injunction Sysco US FoodsMark Moreno
After considering the extensive record in this matter
and the parties’ legal arguments, the court finds that the FTC has carried its burden of showing that a preliminary injunction of the proposed merger between Sysco and US Foods is in the public interest. The FTC has shown that there is a reasonable probability that the proposed merger will
substantially impair competition in the national customer and local broadline markets and that the equities weigh in favor of injunctive relief. The court’s reasoning is set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion. Because the Memorandum Opinion likely contains “competitively sensitive information” of Defendants and third parties, Protective Order Governing Confidential Material, ECF No. 87 ¶ 1, the court has issued the Memorandum Opinion under seal to allow the parties to propose redactions of competitively sensitive information. The parties shall meet and confer and present to the court proposed redactions to the Memorandum Opinion no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 25, 2015. After considering the proposed redactions, the court will issue a public version of the Memorandum Opinion on June 26, 2015.
Sysco - US Foods PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAWMark Moreno
The evidence is overwhelming that the proposed merger is intended to capture the enormous efficiencies in excess of $1 billion in cost savings that will occur when Sysco and US
Foods combine These savings will enable the merged entity to compete more effectively including by lowering prices to the benefit of their customers. With the exception of handful of suspect customer and competitor declarations procured by the FTC speculating that prices might go up there is no evidence that prices will increase as result of the
Affordable Care Act - Next Steps for RestaurateursMark Moreno
Understanding the ACA and “operationalizing” it in a
restaurant business will be challenging. The Treasury
Department and Internal Revenue Service published final
regulations in February and March that provide the rules
by which employers will comply with the employer-mandate
and employer-reporting requirements.

FTC Complaint Sysco US Foods AcquisitionMark Moreno
Respondents are—by a wide margin—the two largest broadline foodservice distributors in the United States and each other’s closest competitor. Sysco and US Foods are the
only two broadline distributors with nationwide networks of distribution centers, making them the best options for customers with facilities spread across the country.
Respondents also compete fiercely with one another in numerous local areas to serve independent restaurants and other foodservice customers.

Restaurant Trends 2014 by Restaurant BriefingMark Moreno
Hudson RieHle, Senior VP, Research & Knowledge Group, National Restaurant Association, predicts that the oPeRATinG enViRonMenT FoR ResTAuRAnTs in 2014 will continue on the same positive – but modest – growth path. “Overall, we’re certainly not looking at a rebound to prosperity, but things are headed in the right direction. Last year was the fourth consecutive year of growth for the restaurant industry, although modest. Moving into 2014, economic indicators such as real domestic product, real
disposable income, and employment growth remain positive.” Employment growth – which Hudson says shows signs of being somewhat higher in 2014 – is especially key for the industry because even a small uptick in employment translates into a greater ability for consumers to spend in restaurants.
Food & Water Watch Comment on Proposed Sysco US Foods MergerMark Moreno
Washington, D.C. — In response to the latest news of giant food corporations seeking to further consolidate, Food & Water Watch demanded that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission undertake a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the proposed merger between the two biggest U.S. foodservice distribution firms: Sysco Corp. and US Foods Holding Corp. These companies deliver food to restaurants, schools, hotels and other cafeteria and hospitality establishments.
In a letter sent yesterday to FTC Bureau of Competition Director Deborah Feinstein, Food & Water Watch outlines several antitrust concerns with the proposed corporate union that deserve close scrutiny; requests the agency to oppose the early termination of the antitrust review and urges federal regulators to extend the merger waiting period to thoroughly review the implications of the proposed merger.
