AkzoNobel reported its Q3 2014 results. Operating income increased 11% to €335 million due to improvement actions and lower restructuring charges. Revenue declined 2% due to currency effects and divestments offsetting 1% volume growth. Return on sales improved to 9.1% from 8% in Q3 2013. All business areas saw continued impact from fragile economic conditions with Decorative Paints revenue down 8% and Performance Coatings flat. Specialty Chemicals operating income rose 46% due to cost control despite 1% lower revenue. AkzoNobel is on track to meet its 2015 targets despite economic challenges.

The document summarizes friction and wear test results for several OX-PEKK polymer grades conducted using a block-on-ring tribometer. OX-PEKK C showed lower friction and wear than PEEK in tests against steel. Carbon fiber reinforcement significantly reduced OX-PEKK wear rates, with the 30% fiber grade performing better than the 40% grade. A bearing grade formulation had extremely low 8.5 μm/h wear despite a high 0.4 coefficient of friction, due to PEKK's strength and stiffness. Test methods and results are discussed to evaluate OX-PEKK composites for tribological applications.

Failed ethnic Federalism: the accommodation of constituent nationalities in Yugoslavia before and after Tito’s leadership (1968-1980 and 1980-1992)
The theoretical framework discusses the balancing of authority and liberty in any government or political arrangement according to Proudhon. Yugoslavia adopted a federal system to accommodate its many ethnicities, but this was done under single-party communist rule led by Tito. Tito's charismatic leadership helped hold the federation together, but after his death nationalist sentiments increased and the federal system began to unravel without his unifying influence.

It notes that 25% of businesses cannot resume operations after a major disaster without proper insurance. The document provides three key things businesses should do to plan for natural disasters: 1) create a disaster recovery plan including an emergency kit and backup documents/plans, 2) get business interruption insurance to cover lost income, and 3) review current insurance policies and ensure adequate standalone coverage for disasters like earthquakes and floods. Having business insurance provides protection and peace of mind for unexpected catastrophes.
Google rolled out new privacy rules that combine data from all Google services into one policy. While Google claims this will provide a more seamless experience for users, others find it unnerving that Google will connect data like search histories and YouTube viewing habits. However, many people already freely share personal information on social media. And most users likely don't care if Google collates information it already has on them, and may even welcome services tailored to their interests through tracking.
Business Writing - Choosing the Right WordsLiudas Butkus
This document discusses the importance of choosing words carefully. It describes a company that announced a new "partnership" with vendors using the word "synergy", but the vendors found this did not match the reality of the company dictating terms without input. Checking definitions and perceptions of words can help ensure the intended meaning is conveyed. Word choice is especially important for important communications, changes, or difficult discussions where the wrong word could damage trust and reputation.

Board games were traditionally either for children or niche hobbyists, but the 1980s saw more social adult games like Trivial Pursuit become popular. The 1990s saw a decline due to video games, until The Settlers of Catan was released in 1997 and became hugely influential. It appealed to all types of gamers and influenced modern game design with elements like victory points and modular boards. Today board gaming is more popular than ever with many people playing together.
What Info Do You Absolutely NEED to Have on Your Website?
1. When it comes to generating business, your website is a
very important part of your marketing toolkit. With
people researching online more than ever, your website
needs to explain what you do, subtly detail why you are
better than the competition, and entice people to contact
you. It needs to supply information, but also leave people
wanting more. After coming across too many poor
websites, we thought we'd outline the key elements that
you absolutely have to include on your website if you
want to propel your company forward.
2. * Home page - think of the home page as a first
impression. You only get to do it once, so do it well!
Contact a design agency to help you create one people
won't easily forget. Assume that every visitor is exploring
your products and services for the first time. As such, your
home page needs to be clean, simple, visually pleasing,
and inviting. The key is to avoid launching into anything
too detailed; your aim is to 'hook' people and incite them
to keep clicking through the website. Remember, too, that
people like pictures! Include a few relevant ones on the
home page. By including images, you'll be helping the user
understand your message quickly and easily. When it
comes to style, pictures break up the content on the page,
and by doing so, make it nicer to look at!
3. * About us - the internet can be quite an impersonal
medium, so an 'about us' page can forge a connection
between you and the visitor. This page should tell your
visitors who you are, what you do, and why they should
hire you or buy what you're selling. It's a good idea to
include short bios of your staff, as well as photos, so
people can put a face to the name. It's also great to have a
mission statement, or a quote from the founder.
4. * Products and services - it's essential that you dedicate a
page about what you can offer clients. If you offer a range
of products or services, create a new page for each. Each
page should have a heading and a brief summary of the
product or service. To demonstrate the effectiveness of
your products/services, you can also include case studies.
You don't want to drown your reader in information (and
let's face it, they won't read pages and pages) - you just
want to give them enough to really get them thinking
about you. If you need help in making a great website,
hire a website development company to do the hard work
for you.
5. * Contact us - Providing a few key contact details is a
must! On the actual 'contact us' page, include your
business name, address, email, and phone and fax
numbers. We'd also suggest placing your contact details at
the bottom of every page of the website as a footer, or
displaying your phone number above the header. This will
remind people that you are available to chat more, and
give the impression that you're approachable.
6. While these pages are 'non-negotiables', you can of course
include others. Client portfolios, testimonials, FAQs, news
and media pages are all great 'added extras' to get people
clicking!
