20mph Speed Limit to Tackle Road Traffic Accidents in Glasgow
Glasgow is to follow Edinburgh in introducing 20mph zones in certain areas in an attempt to reduce the number of road traffic accidents and protect vulnerable road users.
The news comes after the A77 through Maybole became the first road to have a 20mph speed limit, with the speed limit introduced due to a large number of trucks on the road. Some zones in Glasgow’s city centre will become 20mph zones with the city following Edinburgh’s lead on bringing in such a speed limit.

Nice-ly done: CIPO now accepting voluntary classification of goods and services
Following our post from July 2015, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (“CIPO”) is now accepting trade-mark applications filed with goods and services classified using the Nice Classification system. As part of this process, CIPO has also updated the online Canadian trade-marks database, such that “Nice classification” is now a possible search field. In addition, the Canadian Goods and Services Manual has been updated to allow users to search for specific terms within all 45 Nice classes, and to cut-and-paste or import text containing a list of goods and services for proposed classification by the database.

IT’S NICE IN CANADA THESE DAYS – CANADIAN TRADE-MARKS OFFICE IS ADOPTING NICE CLASSIFICATION
As of September 28, 2015, the Canadian Trade-marks Office (“CIPO”) indicated that it accepts trade-mark applications with the goods and services grouped and classed according to the Nice Classification system. CIPO issued a Practice Notice entitled Nice Classification on September 28, 2015. Prior to September 28th, the Nice classification system was not used in Canada for filing trade-mark applications.
Canada is in the process of changing its trade-mark law, but those changes are not yet in full force. Therefore, the Practice Notice indicates that the provision of the Nice classes in the application is voluntary at this time.

These days, the chatter is all about “big data,” “data,” “metrics,” and other buzzwords, which can sound like a lot of fancy talk about things you can’t be bothered with (Spoiler alert: in general, it’s not).
While I’m not going to get into a big discussion about data and all the ways you can use it, I AM going to talk about two practical things you can use today in order to support and improve your content marketing efforts. I go back again and again to the Content Marketing Institute (because, not surprisingly, they have great content about content!), and read this excellent piece on “How to Find the Best Pieces of Content in Your Industry,” by Kristi Hines.
