I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa. I live in Shanghai. According to The Economist's Style Guide and Strunk & White's The Elements of Style:
 * Use the normal possessive ending 's after names that end in s -- see for example The Economist's Style Guide or Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style"

Capitalise the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest lower case:
 * Heading capitalisation: see Manual of Style (headings)

"important", "vast", "of the utmost importantance", "great":
 * Concision -- see Avoid peacock terms

"cannot be stressed...", "It should be noted... ", "It must be noted... "

"obviously", "interestingly", "ironically":
 * Concision -- see Words to avoid
