GovX Community Raises Nearly $10,000 for Concerns of Police Survivors

A fundraising effort organized by GovX, the online shopping site exclusively for current and former military and first responders, has raised $9,775 for Concerns of Police Survivors, the nonprofit fund that provides for the families of fallen police officers.

Each year, over 100 police officers are killed in the line of duty. Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) provides resources to families and co-workers to deal with this staggering loss. Survivors include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and co-workers of officers who have died. C.O.P.S. programs include counseling, peer support, retreats and activities for kids, legal support, and more for families and coworkers recovering from the loss of a loved one.

C.O.P.S. was organized in 1984 with 110 individual members. Today, C.O.P.S. Membership includes over 51,000 survivors, including spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and co-workers of officers who have died in the line of duty according to federal government criteria.

"C.O.P.S. is grateful for the support of GovX.com. The GovX community supports first responders and this donation proves that survivors of fallen heroes will never be forgotten," said Chris Kahmke, Outreach Specialist at Concerns of Police Survivors. "Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide Hands-On Programs at no cost to the survivor. The price they have paid is already too high."

Programs for survivors include the National Police Survivors' Conference held each May during National Police Week, scholarships, peer-support at the national, state, and local levels, "C.O.P.S. Kids" counseling reimbursement program, the "C.O.P.S. Kids" Summer Camp, "C.O.P.S. Teens" Outward Bound Adventure for young adults, special retreats for spouses, parents, siblings, adult children, extended family, and co-workers, trial and parole support, and other assistance programs.

Help Wanted: Why Posting a Job Ad Isn’t Enough to Sell Your Company to Potential Candidates

Companies need great talent to move forward. With unemployment currently at less than four percent, it's going to take more than trendy benefits such as Ping-Pong tables and standing desks to attract exceptional employees, according to Susan MacNicol, founder and president of Strategic & Creative Marketing, Inc., a full-service marketing firm in Aurora, Illinois. Be alert to read related news.

Potential candidates seek transparency from potential employers. Often they will have seven to 10 touch points researching a company before they even apply. They want to know that companies provide a supportive and engaging environment to empower all employees. Negative information or no information about a company could cause potential candidates to look elsewhere for a job. By implementing recruitment marketing strategies, companies can communicate their culture and demonstrate why top talent should work at these places.

"It's not enough to just post the job ad; businesses need to focus on what makes their employment experience unique from their competitors," says MacNicol, who previously worked in recruitment for major companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Office Max, Sears and DeVry Education Group (Adtalem Global Education).

MacNicol's firm incorporates the following to help companies devise specific strategies:

With social media being a primary resource for job seekers, a company's information is either an asset or a liability. MacNicol recalls consulting with an unemployed young woman who passed up applying at a company with lots of job openings after doing her social media research. She felt its culture would not be a good fit for her.

"The best talent goes to companies that have the culture, opportunities and initiatives that the employee is searching for," MacNicol says.

In addition to social media, a company's best recruiting tool can be its employees. MacNicol recently created a special referral campaign for one of the country's largest global education companies in higher education. At every quarter, the university's presidents emailed full and part-time staff at their 20 campuses thanking them for their talent and asking them to invite friends and colleagues to apply for various job positions.

"Within one year, the campuses were getting 40 to 90% of their hires coming from referrals," she says. "There were no referral dollars involved. A lot of times companies will have a referral program where someone can get $1,500, for example. When you don't have a budget, simply asking employees to invite people to apply can work."

With her extensive background in marketing, social media and recruiting branding strategies, MacNicol was recently honored with the 2019 Entrepreneurial Excellence Award from The Daily Herald Business Ledger. She is currently a finalist for the 16th annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business. This award honors women entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide and has been hailed as the world's premier business award.

Lexis Advance Preferred by Next-Generation Lawyers

LexisNexis Legal & Professional today released results from an independent study of 5,061 U.S. law students that shows Lexis Advance is preferred over Westlaw for legal research. The survey of law students at 201 ABA-accredited U.S. law schools was conducted to better understand future lawyer attitudes, behaviors, and key drivers of user preference in relation to legal research.        

According to the survey, half (50%) of all law students said they prefer Lexis Advance for legal research compared to Westlaw (46%), Bloomberg Law (0.5%), other (0.5%), and those who had no preference (2.5%). These findings validate the shift in preference among law students that LexisNexis has been tracking internally.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/georgia-softworks-announces-ssh-server.html

In drilling down to reveal key attributes, nearly 73% of students cited ease-of-use and approximately 62% cited speed of finding information as their reasons for choosing a legal research platform. Law student preference for Lexis Advance was driven by higher scores in several additional categories:

"We've been tracking law student preference for several years and are pleased to see it responding favorably to advancements we've made in our Lexis Advance user experience as well as in visualization and legal analytics tools that provide deeper insights into legal work," said Sean Fitzpatrick, managing director of North American Research Solutions. "Ultimately, we're designing solutions for this next generation of legal minds who expect a flawless user experience with all of the benefits of advanced technology and the training to know how to use it."     Read related news here.

Law students believe LexisNexis provides more effective training. A greater majority of students who prefer Lexis Advance said they received excellent training from their campus representative (79%) compared to students who prefer Westlaw (42%). Similarly, 80% of students who prefer Lexis Advance said LexisNexis delivered excellent on-demand, self-paced training options, as opposed to 45% of students who prefer Westlaw.

"We see our connection to law students stretching far beyond their days in the classroom," said Paul Speca, vice president, Large Law and Law School. "Our focus is on effectively preparing these digital natives to practice law by applying advanced technologies to conduct analysis and research that will help firms increase productivity, improve decision-making, and drive value."

A jewelry brand that was born from the desire to tell stories and unite women while transcending cultural barriers

AMMANII Jewelry was born from the desire to tell stories and unite women while transcending cultural barriers. Taking us back to the roots of jewelry, there is a shared journey of hope and revived dreams translated through every design. It's meant to provoke courage and inspire a vision of a global sisterhood with a purpose of creating a better tomorrow. AMMANII's stories overlap, and the common thread shared by the label is a desire to find fulfillment, purpose and courage. This is jewelry that builds connections because people are better together than apart; that's the core of the brand.

Read this for more information.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/frederick-innovative-technology-center_30.html

Raised with a passion and eye for jewelry design, CEO and chief designer Amany Shaker, who is of Egyptian heritage, has always been fascinated by the ancient Egyptian civilization. Amany studied psychology and got her graduate degree in negotiating conflict resolution – a topic she has always been fond of. Having lived in eight different countries and worked with a global NGO for over 18 years, Amany combined her background in peace building and conflict resolution with her passion for jewelry design by creating timeless pieces, helping women understand cultures other than their own through telling stories of hope and courage.
"Each design is an ambassador of peace to tell an empowering story of connection and hope," commented Amany Shaker CEO and founder of AMMANII Jewelry.

AMMANII's S'amma collection, is named after the Arabic word "sky." This collection is an homage to the sky- the universal blanket we all live under. It is the one thing that truly and indiscriminately houses everyone under it, regardless of race, gender, religion, etc. There are no boundaries and no limits, just a never-ending connection with a protective eye watching and guarding us all.

In light of the increasing women empowerment movements, AMMANII is taking the opportunity to pay tribute to the ruling females of ancient Egypt in her Malikat = Queens Collection by telling the stories of the inspiring work they did in governing countries, leading armies and unifying their people. Always keeping the same DNA, but with a bold twist this time, Malikat features a splendid collection. By infusing historical elements with a modern approach, the attention to detail in each piece makes each one a masterpiece in its own right.
