NEW BOOK AIMS TO DEMYSTIFY SEO FOR BLACK FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS New York, NY (BlackNews.com) — Just a month after Google’s latest hard-hitting core algorithm update, My SEO Workbook, a book that simplifies search engine optimization for black female entrepreneurs is available for preorder. The book’s author, Akilah Thompkins-Robinson, a long-time IT professional and founder of Online Boutique Source observes, “When it comes to technology, when it comes to innovations that are not new, we are not taking advantage of them.” Especially among black female-led businesses, which has seen a 322% growth between 1997 and 2015 and dubbed the “fastest-group group of entrepreneurs in America”, Thompkins-Robinson noted that many are still focusing on Instagram, Facebook ads and Pinterest. While social Bookcover and author, Akilah Thompkins-Robinson media has been a primary focus for traffic strategy for marketers in recent years, last year SEO outpaced social media driving 35% of site visits. My SEO Workbook is an activity-rich search engine optimization guidebook that aims to simplify search engine optimization for this growing group of entrepreneurs. Unlike lengthy and technical books on the topic, the full-color book boasts over 200 pages and includes worksheet exercises, journal prompts and a 12-month planner to encourage women-led startups to work on their search strategy by regularly creating highauthority content. “SEO has been the most consistent, the cheapest and almost one of the easiest ways [to drive traffic]. I share what I know and I’m able to get people to come to my site from it,” Thompkins-Robinson states. I n My SEO Workbook, readers are helped to get started with search optimization by sharing easy-to-implement tips for creating the kind of content that gets ranked by search engines. Readers are motivated to start creating content immediately, kicking things off by answering the questions they get every day by publishing blog posts and updating other site pages. They learn how to leverage existing relationships for guest posting, getting links back to their own sites. To make the most of content they are creating on social, the workbook advises readers to repurpose content, including using transcripts, video embeds, and expanding on previously created content. There are additional resources that can be leveraged to support search optimization efforts. Google provides tools for webmasters to help them understand and optimize their websites. Still, these tools remain underutilized. “Install and use Google’s tools. Google Analytics and Search Console are free gold hanging out there that will tell you where you need to improve and what to do next,” Thompkins-Robinson urges marketers. Starting September 11th, My SEO Workbook will be available for preorder exclusively through Kickstarter where supporters can access additional SEO help including a private community, audits and personalized consulting. The campaign runs for 25 days and hopes to fund enhancements to the books graphics, editing and publishing of a digital version. For more information and to preorder My SEO Workbook, visit the Kickstarter campaign. Akilah Thompkins Robinson is the founder of Online Boutique Source and is the author of MY SEO Workbook, a detailed guide that helps female entrepreneurs build a cohesive search engine marketing strategy with high-authority web content.

RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY STUDENTS ACHIEVE 100 PERCENT PASS RATEON NATIONAL CERTIFICATION EXAM Jackson, Tenn – Students in Jackson State’s Radiologic Technology Program achieved a 100 percent pass rate in the most recent semester, a testament to the program’s longevity and success. Each of the 21 students who finished the program in August passed the national certification exam on his or her first attempt. The program has produced a 100 percent pass rate on first attempt in six of the last eight years. “We strive for 100 percent every year,” said Kim Benson, Program Director and Associate Professor for Radiography. “It says to a prospective student that the JSCC Radiologic Technology students practice X-ray techniques in the college’s radiology lab that will be program is doing what it used in the clinical setting is designed to do. It is teaching you the skills you need to become an entry-level radiographer.” Success can be attributed to the program’s faculty, hospital affiliations, and the instructors and technologists who work beside students for more than 1,700 of their required clinical hours. Students also work hard to pass the certification exam on the first attempt so they can begin their careers. “The students realize this is their chosen profession, therefore they work diligently to succeed,” Benson said. When Jackson State’s Radiologic Technology Program began in 1969, it was the first college-based associate degree radiography program in Tennessee and the third in the United States. It was formed to meet a growing need of X-ray technologists to serve West Tennessee. At the time, most people in the profession worked in larger cities. The program has consistently produced competent graduates who remain in the area as part of the health care workforce. And last year, students moved into the new Jim and Janet Ayers Center for Health Sciences, which has new equipment with the latest technology that mirrors what students will use in the workplace. The program received the most advanced X-ray equipment of any educational system in Tennessee, Benson said. Besides a first-generation digital X-ray unit that students had been using, the lab now has a second-generation digital X-ray unit, as well as two mobile X-ray units. The equipment is the same, if not more advanced, than what students will encounter in a clinical setting. “It has made a world of difference,” Benson said. “They’re going to be well prepared in the workforce because of the equipment we have here.” The success of radiography students at Jackson State is not uncommon in other programs. In 2017, every student who graduated from the school’s nursing program passed the National Council Licensure Examination on his or her first attempt. The achievement earned praise from the Tennessee Board of Nursing. Jackson State Community College provides accessible learning opportunities that enhance the lives of individuals, strengthen the workforce and empower the diverse communities of West Tennessee. The institution offers traditional and contemporary associate degrees, certificates, continuing education and enrichment, and collegereadiness programs.

UT PRESIDENT JOE DIPIETRO ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

LovinNewsWEEKLY

p.05

LOVINEDUCATION

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — University of Tennessee President Joe DiPietro announced today that he will retire Feb. 14, 2019. He will step down from active service Nov. 21 to use his remaining vacation time. DiPietro has led the University of Tennessee System as UT’s 25th president since January 2011. He serves as the chief executive officer of UT and its campuses in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Martin, the Health Science Center in Memphis, the statewide Institute of Agriculture and the Institute of Public Service. “ I am very proud of all we have accomplished together, which would not have been possible without the important efforts of our talented faculty, students, staff and administrators and the steadfast support of the Board of Trustees,” DiPietro said. “The university is well positioned for success—we are coming off a record-breaking year in research funding as well as private fundraising, and we have a committed group of chancellors and system administrators to move the university forward.” John Compton, chair of the UT Board of Trustees, praised DiPietro. “We should all be thankful for Joe’s leadership. He and the former Board of Trustees accomplished a great deal together. All stakeholders in the university system have been well-served by his tireless commitment to continual improvement across all of our campuses. Our new board will convene soon to discuss next steps in selecting a new leader for the University of Tennessee System,” he said. During DiPietro’s tenure, he oversaw a record four years of low tuition increases, including a zero percent tuition increase this year for UT Knoxville and UT Chattanooga. In 2017, UT research achieved a record-high, system-wide $481 million in sponsored-program expenditures. The UT Foundation experienced a record fundraising year of more than $397 million given uring the 2017-2018 fiscal year. The record year of giving included the naming of two colleges at the UT Institute of Agriculture and UT Chattanooga, which join two other colleges named at UT Knoxville since 2014. The UT Institute of Agriculture and Institute for Public Service made more than five million contacts with Tennesseans statewide. DiPietro also oversaw the construction of the Cherokee Farm Innovation Campus and its growth to two buildings that provide laboratory and work space for private industry, researchers and scientists affiliated with the university and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. UT was also chosen to lead the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation, a $259 million public-private partnership, during DiPietro’s tenure. Under his leadership, more than 240 projects totaling more than 11.5 million square feet were constructed or renovated across the system. Those projects reflect investments of more than $727 million by the state and more than $1.25 billion by the university. When notified of an impending $377 million shortfall by 2025, DiPietro established the Budget Advisory Group. Through cost cutting, reallocated funds and unexpected increases in state allocations, the projected shortfall has been erased. “I did not want to kick dealing with this problem down the road,” DiPietro said. “It was important for me to leave the university in good financial shape, and now, thanks to hard work by faculty, staff and the Board of Trustees as well as increases in state appropriations for the last seven consecutive years by the governor and legislature, we are.” Funding has rebounded since a 25 percent budget cut of state appropriations in 2012 following the Great Recession. Compared to 2013, UT’s funding has grown by almost $164 million, a 38 percent increase in fiscal year 2019. Donations in honor of DiPietro can be made to the newly established Joe and Deb DiPietro Endowment for Leadership Development. The endowment will provide support to assist UT employees in developing their leadership skills and understanding leadership’s role in higher education. The endowment will be used to provide funding for the Executive Leadership Institute, which DiPietro established to help with succession planning for the university. It also will provide scholarships for participants. The institute will host its first cohort this fall, and DiPietro plans to teach part-time in the program. Before serving as system president, DiPietro led the Institute of Agriculture for five years from 20062011. He previously served as dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida and was a tenured professor and associate dean for research at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, where he conducted research on the biology and control of parasites in horses and other domestic animals. DiPietro plans to retire to Illinois and spend time with his wife, Deb, and their three children and six grandchildren. For more information, contact Jennifer Sicking, assistant director of media relations for the UT System, at 865-974-5179 or email jsicking@tennessee.edu.

Governor Bill Haslam’s Monthly Column for September

Friday, September 21, 2018

LOVINPOLITICALNEWS

We have taken bold steps to improve K-12 education in Tennessee in the last several years, and we have seen great success as a result. So it is important to look back at where we were not so long ago and how far we have come. In 2007, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce gave Tennessee an “F” in truth-in-advertising in K12. We were saying that the vast majority of our students were proficient when they weren’t, and it showed. Many of our students went to postsecondary education in need of remedial courses. We took major steps to correct that. We established higher Tennessee standards and a better way to measure how students are performing. We tied our assessment of students to teachers’ evaluations and the evaluations to tenure so teachers could receive the professional support they might need to improve. We also lifted the cap on charter schools in Tennessee to give Tennessee parents more choices for their children. With the hard work of our students, educators and stakeholders across the state, Tennessee has made great gains. One of the highlights of our administration was the day we learned Tennessee was the fastest improving state in the nation according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), known as the Nation’s Report Card. In fact, I consider that one of my best experiences as governor. We have gained national recognition. Last December, Stanford University released a map of GOV. BILL HASLAM student growth in public school districts across the country where Tennessee stood out for its increase in student achievement. This May, a report by Education Next gave Tennessee an “A” for the state’s academic standards. A report this year by Achieve, an organization focused on college and career readiness, has Tennessee among the top seven states in closing the “honesty gap” between state assessments and national benchmarks. Tennessee’s progress remained steady in the most recent NAEP results released this year, mirroring national results. We have invested heavily in K-12 education. While we have cut state spending in many other areas, with reductions of more than $570 million in the state budget, we have increased funding in education. Since we’ve been in office, we have increased funds for K-12 by a total of $1.5 billion, with $500 million for teacher salaries. While we have experienced well-known issues in the delivery of our TNReady student assessment, we are committed to fixing that problem. Our unprecedented improvements in education are the result of high standards and an assessment that matches those standards. We do not want recent delivery issues to cause us to lose sight of why we have these tests in the first place. We know we have to get this right, and with input we have received from educators across our state, we will. We maintain ambitious goals. We have a stated goal of ranking in the top half of all states on NAEP by 2019. We currently rank in the top half on two of the six NAEP tests. We want 75 percent of our third graders to be proficient by 2025. Last year, 37 percent of our third graders were on track or mastered on TNReady. We want the average ACT score in Tennessee to be 21 by 2020. Our class of 2017 had an average of 20.1, a state record. We want the majority of high school graduates from the class of 2020 to earn a postsecondary certificate, diploma or degree. About 30 percent of students from the class of 2012 have earned a credential or degree. So while we have come a long way, our goals are still high. We know we can reach new heights simply because we know we have risen from low national standing to a state that is a leader in standards and improvements. The future of our state depends greatly on our success in K-12 education. Because of the strides we have made in K-12, we can say with confidence that Tennessee will lead in education.

Madison County Fire Department Receives Top Award For the second consecutive year, the Madison County Fire Department has received the “Excellence In Community Risk Reduction” award from the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office. The award was presented to Fire Chief Eric Turner and Fire Marshal Don Friddle during the 2018 Fire Loss Symposium held in Murfreesboro Tennessee. The “Excellence in Community Risk Reduction” award recognizes a department that has exemplified outstanding dedication to community risk reduction including exceptional commitment to the application of fire prevention practices, adoption and implementation of codes, integration of risk assessment/mitigation, and innovative approach to reducing fire related injuries and deaths. Community Risk Reduction focuses on identification and mitigation of the most common life safety threats to the community. Preventing tragedies before they occur is the ultimate goal of the Madison County Risk Reduction Team. The proactive approach of eliminating unwanted fires, injuries and deaths is the culture of which the entire fire department membership embraces. Community involvement, partnerships, strong education and investigation programs are the foundation of the department’s risk reduction plan but it is the commitment, dedication and passion of the members that make the plan successful. One partnership the department touts highly is with the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office. The State Fire Marshal’s “Get Alarmed” program provides smoke alarms to fire departments across the State. To date, Madison County has installed close to 3,000 smoke alarms in over 900 dwellings. The installed smoke alarms have been credited with saving six lives within the Madison County response area. The Department would like to remind residents that free smoke alarms are still available. Please call 731-424-5577 between the hours of 8am and 4pm to arrange for installation.

BILOXI, Miss. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, used a ninth-inning rally to beat the Biloxi Shuckers on Saturday, winning the 2018 BC Powder ® Southern League Championship Series with a 3-2 victory at MGM Park. Facing Southern League All-Star closer Nate Griep (0-1, 9.00 ERA) with the game tied 2-2 in the top of the ninth, Jackson made their move. After an inning-opening strikeout by Rudy Flores, Generals third baseman Marty Herum fouled off an 0-2 pitch from Griep and bopped a single up the middle to put the tying run on base. Griep fought back to record his second strikeout of the inning, setting down Jay Gonzalez on six pitches to bring up catcher Dominic Miroglio. The Jackson backstop, a playoffs revelation, lined his 15th postseason hit into center field, moving Herum into scoring position at second base.... Visit https://www.milb.com/jackson/news/
