LIMA Employers in the greater West Central Ohio region will collect $33 million in rebates from the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation in checks that will be mailed beginning next week.

BWC Administrator/CEO Sarah Morrison, in Lima to present a ceremonial check to local business leaders, said employers are free to spend their rebates as they wish, but she hopes they will consider investing in workplace safety.

We work with employers all over Ohio to prevent injuries and illness in the workplace, and they will tell you that investing in safety is a wise business decision, said Morrison, speaking at a press conference at the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce. Safe workplaces mean fewer injuries, fewer medical claims and a stable workforce, all of which leads to a healthy bottom line for a business.

Morrison was joined by chamber President/CEO Jed Metzger and Tony Daley of Limas Spallinger Millwright Services Inc. Metzger and Daley accepted the check on behalf of employers in the entire region, which includes Allen, Auglaize, Shelby, Hancock, Putnam, and Van Wert counties.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich proposed the rebate in March. Its the third such rebate in the last four years, made possible by an improving safety climate, prudent fiscal management and strong investment returns. The plan to distribute rebates to more than 200,000 Ohio employers during the month of July was approved by BWCs Board of Directors in April. Visitbwc.ohio.govfor more details and eligibility requirements.

The plan also includes a $44 million investment innew health and safety initiativesto promote a healthy workforce and a culture of safety in every Ohio workplace. This includes a new wellness program for small employers, funding for programs to help firefighters and those who work with children and adults with disabilities, and an education campaign to address common injuries at work and in the home.

A healthy economy depends on a strong and healthy workforce, Morrison continued. And when the economy is healthy, we all benefit.

Rebate checks will be mailed in phases starting July 10.

The quality of your online presence has real-world consequences. Thats the lesson from new research about Spain, tourism, and Wikipedia.

In order to understand the offline influence of online information (pdf), economists used city-level Spanish tourism data and Wikipedias various language editions in a clever experiment. They found that adding a modest amount of information to a citys Wikipedia page appeared to lead to a 9% increase in visits by certain groups during the tourist season.

For their experiment, the researchers chose 60 cities that had Dutch, French, German, and Italian Wikipedia entries that were no more than 24,000 characters in length. In each language edition, they randomly chose 30 cities and added information to their entries.

For example, to test the effect of information on German tourists, the researchers took information relevant to tourists from the Spanish and English Wikipedia pages for a city, translated it into German, and added it to the citys German Wikipedia page. They also usually added a photo from the other languages editions, too.

The Wikipedia pages were edited by the researchers in August 2014, and they assessed the impact on tourist visits from May-October of the following year. (More than 95% of the changes to French, German and Italian entries survived the study period, but one Dutch Wikipedia administrator wasnt having it. All of the edits to these pages were deleted within 24 hours, so Dutch visitors were excluded from the analysis.)

The researchers then analyzed how the additional information impacted the number of visits to that city. Specifically, they looked at visits by nationals of the language edition they edited. They also tested the data to make sure that the changes werent just the result of a city becoming a more popular tourist destination in general.

Their analysis suggests that the Wikipedia edits, on average, led to a 9% increase in visits, and that the additional information had an even bigger impact on cities with sparse Wikipedia entries. For cities in the bottom quartile by length of their entry, they observed a 28% increase in visits. These visits are valuable, since the average tourist in Spain spends over 100 ($113) per day.

The researchers believe their finding extends to areas beyond tourism. They consider it an argument for regularly monitoring and updating company, product, and personal sites, and they have the data to prove it.

A Darwin-based club has added about 100 new pages to Wikipedia to rectify what it says is a massive shortfall in articles showcasing the rich history of the Northern Territory.

As the fifth most viewed website on the internet, Wikipedia receives more than 18 billion visits every month.

It was for that reason Wiki Club NT founder Caddie Brain said she wanted to see more pages written that showcased the Northern Territory.

The Northern Territory has around 1,900 pages, whereas Western Australia has about 10,000.

"We develop a list of people we want to work on then dig through the library's resources like old newspapers," Ms Brain said.

"Then basically we just sit there and attempt to write the start of a page.

"And of course Wikipedia has life of its own often you come back six months later and it's doubled in size, and that's really rewarding."

At the latest Wiki club night, members assembled a page on Cissy McLeod, an Aboriginal girl who was awarded a lifesaving medal for bravery at Government House in 1913.

It is documented in official records that the girl saw her employer fall off a jetty whilst fully clothed, and dove in after her, holding her head above water until both could be rescued.

History enthusiast Don Christopherson helps the club find some of the Territory's incredible forgotten tales of Indigenous people.

"To jump over the wharf at night time in 1913 I doubt if I would be able do it, but she did it!" Mr Christopherson said.

Mr Christopherson said he was disappointed that among Australia's national heroes, very few of them are Aboriginal.

"But their stories are there all we have to do is find them," he said.

"You don't have to embellish them because they are fantastic stories already, and it makes you wonder why these stories haven't taken their place not only in Northern Territory history, but Australian history."

Writer Charlie Ward has used his time at Wiki club to write about early land rights figure, Dexter Daniels.

"Dexter became very famous travelling around the country educating people about land rights in the 1960s," Mr Ward said.

"He's probably best known for being involved in the Wave Hill walk off, and helping to precipitate that."

Ms Brain said she was proud of what the club had achieved so far.

"It's just extraordinary you feel like you begin to know these people as you edit and find out their stories," Ms Brain said.

"It's a huge amount of work to run a project like this and sometimes I wax and wane in energy, but our members hassle me and say we've got to work on this page, or we've got to work on that page.

"And so just the pure passion for it has been extraordinary to see, and over time we're making a real difference."
