What makes a brand succeed with marketing on LinkedIn? Today we are answering that question by taking a look at companies who have already proved to be successful on LinkedIn and learning from their efforts.
These points are simple in theory, yet powerful in practice. Here's how each of the top global brands fulfill these objectives – and what you can learn from them to apply to your own LinkedIn marketing efforts.
The open-ended question invites audience members to comment on the post, and the content addresses a key issue for many leaders looking to improve customer service within their organization. Forbes generally publishes 6-10 Company Page updates per day, promoting on-site content and asking their audience for further ideas.
Numbers and statistics are powerful tools in page updates and Sponsored Updates, especially if the results draw widespread conclusions about human behavior.
Inc. Magazine serves the business owner and CEO, and their content reflects the C-level purpose. Everything from the simple productivity hacks to complex data analysis is covered here. They also provide additional room for their audience to share personalized knowledge.
The 100 days, 100 questions campaign curated content provided by the Inc. audience and generated new discussions. In this campaign, Inc. serves as the bridge between audience members – as they are now speaking to each other via the magazine's Company Page.
Customers looking for specific information on Microsoft Office need not wade through the overall Company Page updates. They can simply join the Office Showcase Page, which shares more personalized communications for professionals interested in updates around this product. With several other Showcase Pages and LinkedIn Groups tailored to different parts of business, Microsoft does a great job of building a LinkedIn ecosystem for the company's various audiences.
The social managers at Financial Times, the renowned British business and analysis newspaper, love to ask questions. Whether the concept is data-driven or purely hypothetical, the content on FT's Company Page is directly designed to encourage engagement and audience feedback.
What kinds of questions work best? For FT, rhetorical questions or questions with answers validated by research gain good responses - for example, in the above update, asking about the most undervalued business skill. Questions without a definitive answer can also spark conversation among a curious audience.
These list preview posts are among the most engaging on the WSJ's Company Page, as they serve to invite users toward a converting click and discussion. List posts are certainly effective on social – 53% of top performing blog posts on social are lists – and the WSJ uses LinkedIn to tease the list without giving the whole piece away.
The above post references an article on Lifehacker, a tech-centered blog from Gawker Media. HP isn't directly mentioned in the article, but they still promoted the content as an educational benefit for their audience. Various resources have debated the "Sweet Spot" between content creation and curation, but it's clear that Company Pages shouldn't just be forums for self-promotion. HP generates goodwill among their audience by promoting industry news outside of the company's walls.
Indeed, we've seen on LinkedIn that top performing posts have lead-in copy around 140 characters in length. For the Salesforce team, the "short and to-the-point" strategy works for them, as the matter-of-fact status updates instantly encourage agreement or disagreement directly in the company's feed.
It's no surprise that several major technology companies top this list – and IBM is included for its dedication to visual content. The majority of IBM's Company Page updates include some form of visual element – infographics, images, illustrations, and links to YouTube videos.
Visual content is a vital marketing tactic – visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text, so the brain is naturally drawn to graphics and videos. IBM utilizes several forms of visual content in their updates, and the results speak for themselves.
Mashable knows their audience, and they deliver content on LinkedIn with as few strings as possible. This makes the content easier to consume on mobile devices, where much of their audience resides.
These brands each have unique strategies for engaging with their audiences on LinkedIn, yet they all represent what makes content marketing on LinkedIn effective – tailored, targeted strategies that reach the right audiences.
Wondering what types of content LinkedIn audiences are consuming the most? Get the facts to help inform your LinkedIn content marketing strategy in our 2014 Professional Content Consumption Report.

Павел Кузьмич Вицентьев (4 ноября 1875—1920) — русский военный деятель, полковник РИА, полковник армии Украинской державы, генерал-майор ВСЮР.

Биография
Родился 4 ноября 1875 года в Эстляндии в православной дворянской семье титулярного советника. Окончил Александровскую мужскую гимназию в Ревеле.

Окончив гимназию, в 1893 году (в 17 лет) поступил на службу вольноопределяющимся в 90-й Онежский пехотный полк. Прослужив год на рядовых и сержантских должностях, поступил в Санкт-Петербургское пехотное юнкерское училище, окончив которое, снова прибыл в тот же полк на службу.

В 1897 году переведён из 90-го Онежского полка в 91-й Двинский. В 1903 году поступил со второй попытки в престижную Николаевскую академию Генерального штаба, которую успешно окончил. С 1906 года капитан. Некоторое время командовал ротой в Двинском полку (1906—1908), затем переведён на службу в штаб дивизии (1908—1912), в 1912 году стал преподавателем Одесского военного училища. Полковник (1915).

В Первую Мировую войну полковник Вицентьев вступил в должности начальника штаба 42-й пехотной дивизии. В середине 1916 года он получил под своё командование 218-й пехотный Горбатовский полк второй очереди формирования. В начале 1917 года вновь стал начальником штаба дивизии, на этот раз 5-й гренадерской, а в декабре 1917 года, уже после Октябрьской революции, занял должность начальника штаба VI армейского корпуса.

После того, как армия окончательно разложилась, и, фактически, перестала существовать, полковник Вицентьев выехал на Украину, где установился режим Скоропадского. Генерал-лейтенанта Скоропадского многие русские офицеры воспринимали не столько как украинского националиста (радикальным националистом он, в сущности, и не был), сколько как одного из лидеров российских антибольшевистских сил. Полковник Вицентьев был зачислен в армию Скоропадского тем же чином, был начальником штаба 4-й украинской дивизии (Умань).

После падения Украинской державы, которую сменило радикально-националистическое петлюровское правительство, генерал Вицентьев поступил на службу в Белую армию (ВСЮР), где сперва никакой должности не получил.

Однако осенью 1919 года он был назначен командиром Славянского (Карпаторосского) полка, сформированного из добровольцев-русинов. Русинский общественный деятель Василий Романович Ваврик вспоминал, что Вицентьев в то время был уже генерал-майором (дата и причины его производства в этот чин неясны).

Полк, командование которым принял Вицентьев, насчитывал более тысячи человек, отличался высоким боевым духом, но не имел достаточного боевого опыта.
Расквартированный в Новороссии, Славянский полк из Александровска (ныне Запорожье) должен был выступить на Елизаветград. Однако 17 августа генерал получил телеграмму о приближении крупных сил Махно. Утром следующего дня полк выдвинулся к станции Мировой, где столкнулся с неожиданно крупными силами махновцев (по оценке Ваврика, до 20 тысяч человек). Произошел упорный бой, в результате которого большая часть полка была изрублена или попала в плен, а оставшиеся, под огнём противника, бросались в Днепр, чтобы пересечь его вплавь (что удалось не всем). Сам генерал Вицентьев вместе с женой переплыл Днепр на лодке.

Сведения о дальнейшей службе генерала Вицентьева в Белой армии разнятся. Согласно недостоверным мемуарам Герасименко, он был в дальнейшем одним из главных руководителей белых соединений в борьбе с Махно в должности командира пехотной дивизии. Достоверно известно, что зимой 1920 года генерал Вицентьев возглавлял Перекопский укреплённый район (под общим командованием генерала Якова Слащёва).

В 1920 году генерал Вицентьев скончался от тифа.

Mark Zuckerberg is looking for someone to voice his home AI assistant
By Emma Boyle published 14 October 16
Not too Siri, not too Alexa...
Mark Zuckerberg has posed an urgent question to his Facebook followers: who should voice his home AI assistant?
At the start of 2016 Zuckerberg announced that he was planning to build an artificial intelligence system "kind of like Jarvis in Iron Man" to run his home and help him with his work.
The project was a "personal challenge" for the Facebook founder who wanted to have his system complete by the year's end. Clearly things are going well if he's now looking for suggestions as to who should provide the voice for it.
Over 35,000 people responded to Zuckerberg's question with suggestions that ranged from Jarvis voice actor himself, Paul Bettany, to Morgan Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who already offered to do it earlier this year.
Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr, put himself forward for the job on the condition that Bettany receive a payment that's then donated to a charity of Cumberbatch's choice.
There's not long until the end of the year and Zuckerberg has to start thinking up his resolutions for 2017 so he should definitely make a choice soon. Maybe Dan Castellaneta would consider providing his sinister Ultrahouse 3000 voice just one more time.

This guide explains how to set up your environment for Angular development using the [Angular CLI tool](cli "CLI command reference").
It includes information about prerequisites, installing the CLI, creating an initial workspace and starter app, and running that app locally to verify your setup.

Try Angular without local setup

If you are new to Angular, you might want to start with [Try it now!](start), which introduces the essentials of Angular in the context of a ready-made basic online store app for you to examine and modify. This standalone tutorial takes advantage of the interactive [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/) environment for online development. You don't need to set up your local environment until you're ready.

{@a devenv}
{@a prerequisites}
## Prerequisites

To use the Angular framework, you should be familiar with the following:

* [JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript)
* [HTML](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML)
* [CSS](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Learn/CSS/First_steps)

Knowledge of [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) is helpful, but not required.

To install Angular on your local system, you need the following:

{@a nodejs}

* **Node.js**

  Angular requires an [active LTS or maintenance LTS](https://nodejs.org/about/releases) version of Node.js.

  For information about specific version requirements, see the `engines` key in the [package.json](https://unpkg.com/browse/@angular/core/package.json) file.

  For more information on installing Node.js, see [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org "Nodejs.org").
  If you are unsure what version of Node.js runs on your system, run `node -v` in a terminal window.

{@a npm}

* **npm package manager**

  Angular, the Angular CLI, and Angular applications depend on [npm packages](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm) for many features and functions.
  To download and install npm packages, you need an npm package manager.
  This guide uses the [npm client](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install) command line interface, which is installed with `Node.js` by default.
  To check that you have the npm client installed, run `npm -v` in a terminal window.

{@a install-cli}

## Install the Angular CLI

You use the Angular CLI to create projects, generate application and library code, and perform a variety of ongoing development tasks such as testing, bundling, and deployment.

To install the Angular CLI, open a terminal window and run the following command:

  npm install -g @angular/cli<aio-angular-dist-tag class="pln"></aio-angular-dist-tag>

{@a create-proj}

## Create a workspace and initial application

You develop apps in the context of an Angular [**workspace**](guide/glossary#workspace).

To create a new workspace and initial starter app:

1. Run the CLI command `ng new` and provide the name `my-app`, as shown here:

      ng new my-app

2. The `ng new` command prompts you for information about features to include in the initial app. Accept the defaults by pressing the Enter or Return key.

The Angular CLI installs the necessary Angular npm packages and other dependencies. This can take a few minutes.

The CLI creates a new workspace and a simple Welcome app, ready to run.

{@a serve}

## Run the application

The Angular CLI includes a server, for you to build and serve your app locally.

1. Navigate to the workspace folder, such as `my-app`.

1. Run the following command:

  cd my-app
  ng serve --open

The `ng serve` command launches the server, watches your files,
and rebuilds the app as you make changes to those files.

The `--open` (or just `-o`) option automatically opens your browser
to `http://localhost:4200/`.

If your installation and setup was successful, you should see a page similar to the following.

## Next steps

* For a more thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts and terminology of Angular single-page app architecture and design principles, read the [Angular Concepts](guide/architecture) section.

* Work through the [Tour of Heroes Tutorial](tutorial), a complete hands-on exercise that introduces you to the app development process using the Angular CLI and walks through important subsystems.

* To learn more about using the Angular CLI, see the [CLI Overview](cli "CLI Overview"). In addition to creating the initial workspace and app scaffolding, use the CLI to generate Angular code such as components and services. The CLI supports the full development cycle, including building, testing, bundling, and deployment.

* For more information about the Angular files generated by `ng new`, see [Workspace and Project File Structure](guide/file-structure).

In 2014 the Republic of Indonesia will try to hold elections in West Papua. We the Papuan peoples refuse to vote in these elections. Why?
Today West Papua is illegally occupied by Indonesia. We have a right to freedom. We will vote in a proper referendum on self-determination. But we will not vote in any election that continues Indonesia's brutal and occupation of our land.
In 1963 Indonesia invaded our country and terrorised our people. For over 50 years Indonesia has tortured and killed us. The Indonesian military has killed more than 500,000 Papuan men, women and children. For over 50 years we have been dying for our freedom.
In 1969, Indonesia threatened 1024 of our tribal elders with torture and death if they did not say they wanted West Papua to be a part of Indonesia. Indonesia's rule over West Papua is based solely on this event – the terrified acquiescence of less than 1% of the adult population. Indonesia has no right to be in West Papua. Indonesia has no right to hold any elections in our land.
I am calling to my peoples across our land, from coast to mountain, from island to island. Let us stay strong and united. Do not vote!
I am asking all the Papuan political organisations to talk to our people and tell them the truth. Do not let Indonesia fool them.
My dear sisters and brothers, my beloved elders, the world is waking up to our tears and our suffering. All over the world Members of Parliament are lobbying their governments to respect our right to self-determination.
I and the people of West Papua once more appeal to the international community for freedom and for justice. We are a peaceful people. We have dignity and a right to live. How many more of us must be killed before you will act?
iii) We ask the international community, and particularly the USA and the Netherlands who have both played important parts in allowing Indonesia's occupation, to act to restore us our freedom and respect our rights as human beings, including our rights to our natural resources. We are the people you must deal with, not the Indonesian government and military.
iv) We ask the United Nations to hold a true referendum among the Papuan peoples and let us decide once and for all whether we want Indonesian rule or freedom.
We, the Papuan peoples, have a right to freedom. We were a Dutch colony. We had a right to independence from the Netherlands. But it did not happen. One million tribal peoples in the Netherlands New Guinea were bartered like beads by the United States in return for Indonesia's support and access to our vast wealth of natural resources. The United Nations betrayed us and gave Indonesia the responsibility for our independence. We are still waiting to exercise our right to self-determination.
If you want the Papuan peoples to vote – give us a referendum on our freedom.

The obvious one is to check that the code hasn't expired. We do keep track of our codes and delete the ones that have expired however some do occasionally pass through the cracks.
The next one is to check the terms and conditions that apply to the discount code, this is often listed next to it. Make sure that you have met any conditions that are required such as a minimum spend.

We are in constant communication with Monster Supplements negotiating discount deals and codes for you guys. We will constantly keep this page updated with the very best promotions we can set up.
X% Off Your Shopping Total – Monster Supplements are a very established brand with a large user base so whilst these types of deals are available they often have a very large minimum spend, oftentimes in excess of £100. This is far outside the amount most people can afford for supplements at least on a regular basis. We recommend to plan ahead of time and to buy a couple of months worth of supplements in one go, that way you can take advantage of these deals.

It's that time of year where everyone is gearing up for back to school, from clothes to school supplies shopping, the running around seems like it will never end! Having two children in school means double the shopping, it can be overwhelming sometimes trying to get everything checked off your long list!
If you have a child starting private school you will have a dress code, uniforms to be exact and even some public elementary schools around us are starting to require the children wear them. I've never even see uniforms in store so I can't even imagine having to run around and try to shop for them every school year.
French Toast is America's leading brand of school uniform, they have been providing families with quality children's wear at great prices since 1958. They carry over 6,000 colors, styles and sizes for toddler size uniforms through young adult for boys and girls! Skip the lines and order online, you can even add your school's logo, then everything arrives nice and neat straight to your front door!
I was recently contacted by French Toast to review their school uniforms! After browsing their website, I couldn't believe how cute, stylish and affordable their clothing was! I requested the Canvas Safari Shirtdress in navy and the Short Sleeve Interlock with Picot Collar polo in pink for my daughter. For my son, I was sent a Short Sleeve Pique Polo in teal and a pair of Pull-On Boys Pants in khaki.
Little Sister C was really excited for her new clothing from French Toast! The Canvas Safari Shirtdress is hands down her absolute favorite, the fit is perfect, it features buttons all the way down and an easy self sash. I think the dress looks darling on her and she could easily layer it with cute leggings or tights in the winter for a fall look.
The Picot Collar polo is amazingly soft, I love the feminine fit, it has cute flower buttons and the picot trim collar gives it a neat look. This polo could be worn with so many different bottoms from a classic look to a more dressed up style with a skirt.
I love Big Brother C in polo's, it's my classic go-to look for him and French Toast doesn't disappoint with their fashionable and heavy weight pique polo. It features a drop tail hem and a three button placket (left over right), this top looks good tucked in or left out for a relaxed look.
The easy pull-on pants feature a mock fly and button, two front pockets as well as a single back pocket. They are super soft but yet durable enough to wear everyday for play or school!
I really loved this outfit on my son, the colors are beautiful and he just looks so handsome all dressed up!
So what do you think about French Toast and their school uniforms?
Connect: Be sure to follow French Toast on Facebook and Twitter!
Buy it: You can purchase all of the items featured above online at French Toast!
Win it: One lucky reader will win two tops and one bottom of their choice from French Toast!
Very cute and what a great help it would be to get back to school to win!
I so wish my kids' school did uniforms!
I still have to start on the shopping. Will probably do it at the start of next week. Thanks.
I've got some clothes and the backpacks. We haven't even started on school supplies yet!


The first deputy mayor of the Municipality of Totana, Juan José Cánovas, has assisted the Environment Advisory Council in which it has approved, among other matters, the declaration of the Gredas de Bolnuevo as a Natural Monument.
In addition, the Comprehensive Management Plan of the protected areas of the Natura 2000 Network of the Sierra de Ricote has been treated and La Navela will order and regulate the needs and uses on an area of 7,743 hectares, which become a Site of Community Interest (LIC) to be considered as Special Conservation Zones (ZEC).
This document, which was approved today by the Regional Advisory Council for the Environment (Carma), also points out that this protected area has another 7,643 hectares considered as Special Bird Protection Areas (ZEPA).
The Plan, which has already passed the period of public information and hearing of stakeholders, highlights that this area has a total of 18 types of natural habitats of community interest, with 16 species of community interest, 11 birds that require special protection and 46 regular migratory species, as well as 64 other species, 28 of flora and 36 of fauna, cataloged as protected both regionally and nationally.
In this sense, the planning process of the Natura 2000 Network already has three management plans in progress for the protected areas of the Northwest, Río Mula and Pliego, and Las Cuevas de las Yeseras and Minas de la Celia, and five others , among which are those of the Sierra de Ricote and Las Navelas or the Mar Menor and the Litoral Strip, which are very close to closing their administrative procedures.
The meeting of the Carma, an advisory body made up of social, environmental, neighboring and business organizations, also approved the declaration of the Gredas de Bolnuevo, in Mazarrón, as a Natural Monument.
This natural environment will thus become the second recognized space with this degree of protection, following the declaration in 2016 of Monte Arabí de Yecla.
In the case of Bolnuevo, its declaration as a Natural Monument is based on its high value and uniqueness from both a landscape and morphological point of view, with some unique examples of differential erosion or 'bee nesting', as paleontological, since this environment It also houses unique remains of corals and mollusks.
The zone, in addition, constitutes a singular ecosystem in which you can find forest masses such as the espartal, the tomillar or the romeral that serve as refuge to species of great importance such as the black tortoise, the ocellated lizard and birds of prey such as the Bonelli's eagle. or the peregrine falcon.
During the meeting, the members of the Advisory Board were also informed of the results of the latest scientific report on the state of the Mar Menor, which confirms the stabilization of this ecosystem and the improvement of its waters, which translates into an abundant presence of species as much of fauna as of underwater flora.
Thus, the data taken by the 14 permanent measurement stations corresponding to the last week of October indicate that transparency remains above 4.5 meters compared to 1.28 meters in the same week of last year, while other values such as turbidity and chlorophyll fall to values of 0.82 and 0.50 respectively, well below the 4.50 and 4.92 that reached a year ago.


Police assist victim of Manchester terror attack. Photo Instagram.
Twenty-two are dead and 59 injured in Manchester after the terror attack on May 22.
The target for the latest terrorist attack on UK soil were young children attending an Ariana Grande concert.
Who in their right mind targets children? Understandably, the world at large was shocked, appalled, horrified and outraged. There is outpouring of grief, and rightly so.
Some years back, whilst I visited New York, we stumbled upon an Ariana Grande Concert on an evening out, and my eldest daughter, a teenager at the time, insisted that she must simply attend. My brother Milton, a New Yorker and newspaper publisher made some calls and managed to get her a ticket, so we left her at the concert and picked her up later. This could have been my own personal tragedy.
I can only imagine the acute and searing pain that the parents, families of the lost innocents must be going through. The youngest reported fatality is eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos from Leyland. Her mother and sister are being treated in hospital for their injuries and are unaware as yet of the demise of their beautiful Saffie. This is the reality of the ugly world we now live in. There is too much hate and intolerance in this world.
Yesterday, in the aftermath of the terror attack, The English Defense League, (EDL), which is a far-right protest movement focusing on opposition to what it considers to be a spread of Islamism and Sharia in the United Kingdom, took to the streets to spew hate against Islam and all the faithful. They should have been concerned with the suffering of the families that had lost their loved ones, instead The EDL chose to use this tragedy as an opportunity to spread their Islamophobic agenda. How so very insensitive. Terrorism and extremism does not equate to Islam. After all, the type of extremism that brought blood and terror to Manchester have also targeted people who truly embrace the Islamic faith elsewhere around the world. Unity is needed to defeat such hatred.
That's why Muslim taxi drivers and restaurant owners offered free services to the citizens of Manchester in a show of solidarity and rejection of the terror that had befallen their city.
The EDL failed in their attempt to spread fear, hate and division. Mancunians outnumbered in their counter protest, the members of the EDL. One man was heard saying, that "the people of Manchester do not stand with your xenophobia and racism. The people of Manchester are going to stick together no matter what religion you follow, what color your skin is, we are going to stick together because we are stronger together."
Premier Theresa May, said it is now beyond doubt, that the people of Manchester and of this country have fallen victim to a callous terrorist attack. "An attack that targeted some of the youngest people in our society with cold calculation."
The perpetrator has been identified as Salman Abedi the son of Libyan immigrants. The bigoted and ignorant took to social media to condemn Islam and Moslems for the carnage visited upon the citizenry of Manchester, forgetting that many a war and acts of terror have also been fought in the name of religion, other than Islam.
The Ku Klux Klan in America being a prime example, where Black people were lynched in the name of Christianity. Yet were they truly representative of Christian ideals? Of course not. All Christians must not be held responsible for the despicable, inhumane, inexcusable and indefensible acts of terror by extremists who have claimed to embrace Christianity in the past. Likewise we must reject painting Islam with a broad brush.
We must remember that extremism exists in all religions; and we must reject those who distort faith to mask their murderous agenda.
We pray for all the victims and their families; we mourn with Manchester and salute their courage to reject extremists including the EDL.

Home ENTERTAINMENT Nintendo NX release date: console to focus on content, not power
Nintendo NX release date: console to focus on content, not power
K.Dumaraog
Nintendo may have had a successful stint at the recently held Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), but they have still kept the mysterious Nintendo NX out of the public eye, to the dismay of many fans. Nevertheless, Nintendo of America president and CEO Reggie Fils-Aim offered an explanation as to why the tightly guarded console has yet to break cover.
Talking to Bloomberg in the wake this year's E3, Fils-Aim shares that the multinational corporation is making sure that the NX is well equipped before making its public debut. However, the CEO was not pointing to the hardware improvements but rather, the supplementary content that will go with the device.
"For us, it's not about specs, it's not about teraflops, it's not about the horsepower of a particular system. For us, it's about the content…We're focused on bringing our best entertainment to both the Wii U as well as the NX in the future. So for us, whatever Microsoft and Sony are doing in terms of talking about new systems, that's for them to fight out in that red ocean," Fils-Aim divulged.
The comments are reminiscent of the previous statement of Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima explaining that they are making sure that ample games can be enjoyed via the NX when it is finally released. Furthermore, he was also more concerned about the longevity of the console instead of its initial impact.
However, an article by Forbes points out the precarious ground that Nintendo is standing on given this mantra of content over performance. The media outlet shares that it was the same thinking that sent their Wii U console down the drainage as third party developers left it because of its mediocre capabilities. This has left the Wii U slowly dying with the final axe delivered by Nintendo themselves, as they are rumored to be considering stopping production of the console by 2018.
In fact, the Nintendo NX has already shown some signs that it may encounter the same problems that the Wii U has suffered. Earlier this year, third party studios aired their grievances as Nintendo has supposedly been keeping the NX dev kits out of their hands. With no information to work with, the developers find it tricky to create content for the NX.
Nintendo NX is scheduled for an official launch in March of next year.

  <title>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</title>
  <link href="styleV2.css" rel=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css">

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Hum support inheritance?

    Hum knows when a word has a super-type.
    If a statement applies to a super-type of an noun,
      it applies to that noun as well.

Does Hum support polymorphism?

    The short answer is "yes." Here is how it works:
    When the system is interpreting a statement,
      the interpreter first attempts to find a statement that matches exactly.
    If there is no match,
      the interpreter will seek alternatives
      by substituting every combination
      of super-type in the statement
      and with each combination
      it will attempt to find a matching statement in the ontology.
    If no combination produces a match,
      the statement is flagged as "currently undefined" in the ontology.
    While you can run with an ontology that has undefined statements in it,
      if the plan attempts to execute one of them,
      you will (of course) get a run-time error.

Is Hum a strongly-typed language?

Yes and no.
      The way in which a statement in a task frame or an action frame
        should be interpreted
        is known at "compile-time."
      In that sense, the concept of strong-typing applies.
      See "polymorphism" above.
      However, the context of a conversation
        between a user and the system
        may wander during a long dialog session.
      In that situation, a noun that has two or more
      	 orthogonal super-types
        could be misinterpreted.
      The system and the user will then have different assumptions
        about each other's intentions.
      But this can happen in a strongly typed system also.
      It is mainly a result of the way session data is managed.

In a technical sense, Hum uses dynamic typing.
       This is just like spoken and written English.
       A word has whatever referent the history of the situation has given it.
       That means that it is theoretically possible
         to feed a run-time instance into an situation
         where it no longer makes sense
         because the noun that referred to the instance
         has more than one meaning.
       You can easily construct artificial situations where this would occur.
       But, in real applications,
         situations of that sort are unlikely
         because the nouns appear in complete sentences.
       In many programming languages that use positional notations,
         programming errors are more likely.
       When argument meanings are guided by keywords
       	 (as they are in Hum and Smalltalk),
         programmer errors are less likely.

Consider the case: "Move cup from counter to dish-washer."
       This statement will match "Move object from location-A to location-B"
         if counter and dish-washer both have the word "location" as a super-type.
       Suppose a cup is also a part.
       Then the statement match "Move part from inventory-A to inventory-B."
       might also match
       if "counter" and "dish-washer" both have "inventory" as a super-type.

What about orthogonal super-types?

Hum, like natural language,
        allows a noun to have more than one super-type chain.
      A noun can have incompatible super-types in different chains.
      Basically this is a fancy way of saying
        a word can have two different and incompatible meanings.

      In the context of a task, two incompatible meanings are very unlikely.
      But in the context of a long-running dialog,
        the situation is relatively unconstrained
        because the context is easily changed.
      The memory of the preceding dialog is retained
         and that memory of a prior entity instance
         can cause trouble.

The context and content of a dialog is relatively unconstrained.
       This means that a noun with more than one meaning
         (more than one super-type chain)
         could be invoked in both meanings during the dialog.
       If the user intends to move the conversation to a
       new instance

        and the user is no longer talking about the old instance,
        the system might apply an orthogonal super-type
        to the old instance
        with some resulting actions that may confuse the user.
       Also, the user may have trouble correcting the context.
       Basically, the user needs a simple way to say:
        "I want to talk about a different ____."

Here is how things can go wrong:
       Nouns are filled-in at run time
        by referencing and updating the blackboard.
      The blackboard contains the current value
        for all nouns that have been filled-in
        during the running of the current dialog session.
      In a long-running dialog,
        the dialog's blackboard could acquire values
        for an entity that has two orthogonal super-types (two different meanings).
      If the course of a dialog wanders into a second context
        where an orthogonal super-type applies,
        the user and the system could become confused
        about each other's intentions.
      The system may attempt to populate attributes
        of the newly referenced super-type.
      To do that,
        it will first look in the world-base (database)
        for remembered attributes of the (presumed) entity instance
        and if it finds nothing there, it will ask the user.
      In either case,
        if the user intended to move the conversation to a new instance
        and not continue with the old instance,
        the situation could is now in a state of confusion.
      The user's mind and the system's mind are now operating
        with completely different assumptions.


Since CMS announced that it will be renaming the EHR meaningful use program, "Promoting Interoperability," FHIR and other open source APIs have been getting a lot of attention. Many believe that FHIR is the next big thing in healthcare and will open the closed data sharing system we currently operate in today.
FHIR is a draft standard describing data formats and resources (data), and an API (application programming interface) for exchanging healthcare data. What makes FHIR unique is its ability to extract data from an EHR and allow that data to integrate with customized applications. Unlike other HL7 standards (specifically C-CDA), FHIR is not heavily bloated with large data requirements. APIs allow for the exchange of specific pieces of information for specific purposes.
At the Dev4Health conference this year, Hal Wolf, CEO of HIMSS announced that the organization will begin to focus on "helping providers open their data to developers." FHIR is an obvious and viable solution for tackling this objective. As Apple has successfully demonstrated with their new feature to the Apple Health app, FHIR can be leveraged by developers inside and outside of healthcare to create applications that deliver healthcare data when and where it is needed.
Having access to specific, targeted health information is useful for both patients and their physicians; with this information, management of certain conditions such as chronic disease and acute event recovery can be made easier. For example, the Rimidi Diabetes App from Cerner helps diabetic patients manage their diabetes by aggregating and analyzing labs, vital signs, medications, and testing that comprise comprehensive diabetes care. Similarly, the Heart Pathway App helps heart attack recovery patients monitor information such as pain location and pressure level, making it easier for them to determine whether to visit the emergency room.
(1) FHIR itself is not a standard, it's a suggestion, so it's possible that EHR vendors will implement different versions of FHIR.
(2) EHR vendors may not implement all the available FHIR APIs, therefore causing issues for developers who want their applications to run across EHR platforms.
(3) EHR vendors are not consistently implementing the entire API.
(4) FHIR extensions undermine standardization.
These factors, among others, will be obstacles for achieving interoperability.
All users of healthcare data are working towards a shared goal, to help keep patients healthier. To achieve this goal, healthcare providers need to share information amongst themselves and with health plans quickly and easily. The industry is currently hyped on FHIR because it helps facilitate this type of seamless data exchange; but FHIR alone will not revolutionize healthcare, people will. As the industry matures, technologies and methodologies mature simultaneously. We should embrace innovation while remaining mindful that Health IT will continue to evolve. To achieve an optimal healthcare system, health plans, providers, ACOs, vendors and patients need to collaborate on both technological and social solutions for achieving true interoperability.


what it was that Reiki was doing that nothing else I'd ever done had accomplished.
Why could reiki help me sleep but alcohol couldn't, why was I feeling rejuvenated and anxiety free after only an hour when I'd never felt tranquility before? Most of all though I was wondering why I suddenly had all of these emotions that I'd never allowed myself to feel before?!
I had by this time received a few sessions myself that had given relief in a time where I could not picture anything but the pain brewing inside which was of course pouring into all areas of my life without my even being aware of it. I had been attempting to utilize mainstream avenues to help with my fast failing mental health only I was not getting what I needed from it.
If you know me personally you know the system I was working with, know how difficult it is to even say you need help let alone receive the help needed in a timely manner (if at all) particularly if you're able to hold it together and not totally fall off the edge into the abyss of total dysfunction. I was tired of being told I should take meds to sleep, that I should take meds to help with the anxiety I was feeling inside at the "new normal" I found myself living. I knew deep down that taking pills was only going to prolong the suffering, would only be one more bandaid over the wound of present and past pain and would serve to hurt more than ever help. I was ready to finally take my healing into my own hands, to acknowledge the pain hiding inside and to actively DO something about it instead of acting as though I had no choice but to suffer.
The life I once knew was going to continue to fall apart for the next 2+ years and honestly it was all for the best. It all served a purpose and one of those purposes was so I could heal and be able to help others heal themselves.
Come into the abyss with me, read my story of healing and share it with those around you.
Know that I'm here for you and that no one needs to walk this path alone.

61-year-old charged with GBH following High Street assault
OFFICERS in Swansea investigating a serious assault that took place in High Street on Thursday 18th July have charged a man.

Biography
Vitaa was discovered by DJ Kost, who paired her with Dadoo in a duet . They sang "Pas à pas" ('Step by Step'). It was at this event that she was first called "Vitaa."

She worked for several years in collaboration with various hip hop and R&B artists and eventually with Diam's and Pit Baccardi on Oublie, then a solo on the album Première classe RnB with the song "Ma sœur" ('My Sister'). She performed a second duet with Dadoo, "Sur ta route" ('On Your Way'), then made several more duets with various other singers, including "Mytho" with Mafia K'1 Fry, "Bol d'air" with Rohff and Jasmin. Vitaa later collaborated with Diam's on the song "Confessions Nocturnes", with which she became known to the general French public.

Dr. Heywood R. Floyd is a reoccurring character in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series. The character, Dr. Floyd appears in 2001: A Space Odyssey and its film adaption, played by William Sylvester.[N 1] Floyd returns in 2010: Odyssey Two and its 1984 film adaption, played by Roy Scheider. Clarke continues one last adventure with Dr. Floyd in 2061: Odyssey Three.
Heywood Floyd was born in 1958. Floyd has two daughters with his former wife, Marion, who dies in an air crash in 1999. He then marries a thirty year old marine biologist, Caroline, with whom he has a son, Christopher Floyd.
Since the mid 90s, Floyd was a scientific specialist in the USAA and was grandfathered in as chairman for the National Council of Astronautics (NCA) upon its inception. After the failure of the Discovery mission, he was forced to resign, and became Chancellor at the University of Hawaii. In 2010, he was on the Jupiter Mission when he experiences the planet Jupiter become the mini-sun Lucifer. In 2061, Floyd takes a final mission to Europa.
Dr. Floyd arrives at the Florida launch location after meeting with the US President. He offers no comment to the press, nor reveals the details of the "epidemic" at Clavius Base, on Earth's moon, not even to his Russian friend at the joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. space station. Upon his arrival to the Moon, Floyd is briefed on the magnetic disturbance in Tycho, one of the Moon's craters. Excavation of the area reveales a large black slab, designated Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-One (TMA-1). Its discovery provides the first definitive proof of extraterrestrial intelligent life. Upon exposing the monolith, sunlight hits upon it for the first time in 3 million years. Suddenly, sharp piercing sound emanates, blasting a strong radio-wave signal to Saturn's moon Iapetus.
After the incident with HAL 9000 on board Discovery, Floyd was labeled a scapegoat, and resigned from the NCA. He moved to Hawaii, where he became the chancellor at the University of Hawaii. He married Caroline, and together they had a son, Chris Floyd, who was born in 2005.
Heywood Floyd was selected to fly on the joint Soviet-American spaceship, Leonov to find out what happened to Discovery. He went with Walter Curnow, one of the head designers for Discovery, and Dr. Chandra, HAL's creator. All three of the American crew were put into hibernation on the first and last phase of the flight, though Floyd was awakened ahead of schedule.
Soon after Discovery and Hal had been reactivated, Dr. Floyd was watching over the ships systems at night, when the Star Child, formerly Dave Bowman, sent a message, via the HAL 9000 computer to Heywood. The message was that the Leonov must leave within 15 days (2 in the film). When Floyd asked who was sending the message, the reply was: "I was David Bowman."
Heywood Floyd on board the Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.
Floyd quite simply could not believe this. Dave replied: "I understand. It is important that you believe me. Look behind you."
Dr. Floyd turned around. The dust particles floating randomly around the room began to move in not so random patterns. They arranged themselves into a sphere, which later grew into the shape of a man. A face emerged, which was unmistakably the face of David Bowman. The apparition repeated the message, and then the conglomeration of dust particles resumed their random drift about the pod bay in Discovery.
Floyd tells this experience to the rest of the crew, insisting that they leave within this mysterious deadline. Naturally, they object, saying that they have no real reason to leave in such short notice, other than the visitation by Bowman, which could easily be explained that Floyd was simply dreaming or hallucinating.
Walter Curnow came up with the idea to link Discovery to Leonov, using Discovery as a booster stage to get them in the proper return trajectory.
Soon after Leonov had made it out of Jovian orbit, Jupiter detonated, due to the actions of a cloud of monoliths, and transformed into a mini-sun, officially dubbed "Lucifer".
Floyd's marriage to Caroline eventually dissolved, due to their extended separation as a result of the Leonov Mission.
In the 2010 film, Floyd was played by Roy Scheider.
After an accident involving falling off a second-story balcony, Heywood Floyd was shipped up to the Pasteur orbital hospital. By the time his body had healed, it had become accustomed to the one-sixth gravity environment of the station; becoming readjusted to Earth gravity would be nearly impossible, and became a permanent resident of Pasteur.
Floyd spent nearly 50 years in Pasteur, up until 2061, at the age of 103, though he appeared much younger, due to the low gravity, and because his aging had been halted during his time in chryogenic hibernation on the Leonov.
His son, Chris, also had a son, Chris II, before being killed in the "Copernicus Disaster".
Floyd was one of six celebrities brought aboard the Tsung Spacelines ship Universe for its historic landing on Comet Halley, and became one of the first people to walk on the comet's surface. It was also jokingly rumored that he was having an affair with former famous actress Yva Merlin. When news was heard that Universe's sister ship Galaxy, of which Chris Floyd II was a crew member, had crash-landed on Europa, Floyd found himself on a rescue mission to save Galaxy.
He helped convince the crew of attempting Second Officer Jolson's plan of taking water fuel from a geyser on Halley's Comet called "Old Faithful" rather than returning to the Moon first. That plan turned out to be successful.
At Yva Merlin's suggestion, Floyd called David Bowman on the radio asking for permission to land on Europa. That night he woke up to find a tiny version of the monolith floating inside his quarters. At that point, Heywood Floyd was split into two people: one was a human the same as he always was, and the other was an immortal being like David Bowman and HAL. On Europa the immortal Floyd appeared to his grandson Chris, making him think that Floyd was dead and he'd seen his ghost. Chris soon discovered that Floyd was not dead when they were reunited, and they became closer following these events. It is not known what became of Floyd, but due to his age it is fair to assume that he died some time after.
Meanwhile, on Europa, the immortal Floyd became acquainted with Bowman and HAL. It was revealed that they "recruited" him to help them develop the Europans to further intelligence within the life-span of Lucifer. Despite this, Floyd does not feature in any form in 3001: The Final Odyssey.

I thought running away to Jamaica with my husband was more a more special and unique way to spend Christmas – especially because he misses out on most of my travels during his busy season. Christmas is not about present and food anyway, it's remembering the birth of Christ and what he has done for us – and traveling is when I feel that love and admiration the most.

There is little point growing produce to a market requirement without ensuring the ability to capitalise the maximum return. Biological / organic farming without certification has little opportunity to give added value outside the farm gate. The point of certified organic production is to follow this all the way to the consumer. The acceptance of certified organic across the world is a huge benefit to individual farmers/growers.
There have been operations in the past that had kiwifruit certified on the vine. The grower had not shown any harvest or post harvest accountability. As soon as the kiwifruit was picked it was no longer organic as far as the market place was concerned and would attract no premium.
Every step of the production, transporting, processing and marketing has to be seen to maintain the integrity of the product produced on the farm. This is what the discerning high value market is willing to pay for!
This may sound hard but in reality it is not so. Transport and processing units need to be cleaned under standard operation anyway. It is common to have a processing plant put certified organic product through as the first run after a clean down, this maintains the integrity of the certified product. Its packaging is important again to ensure that the product arrives at the consumer point of purchase without the opportunity to be contaminated or mixed up with non-organic product. This is no different to any specialty product.
It comes down to integrity through transparency, and if this integrity is maintained a premium will flow all the way back to the farmer/grower, if it is lost for some reason it still has the potential of non-organic returns in the market place.
So who is processing and marketing certified organic product around the world? There are historically some new innovative growers who have processed their own produce; there are some new and innovative processors who have capitalised on opportunity. Phoenix Foods is a good example of this, starting with a small stainless steel vat making ginger beer to a company that sold to Charlie's Juices for around $10m.
For the larger sectors it is traditionally the existing processors/marketers that have the capital infrastructure, the marketplace links, knowledge and the fiscal capacity to support and grow the organic primary sector. We look back at the likes of Watties in the late 1980's, the Kiwifruit Marketing Board(later Zespri) in the early 1990's. Affco certified meat plants in the 1980's and couldn't get stock to kill---they had the markets—not the stock.
We see today the dairy sector aiming at export with Fonterra driving for hundreds of farms, and new players such as the NZ Organic Dairy Farmers Cooperative LTD seeking supply. Alliance processing meat and companies like Wallace Harmony who have evolved through takeovers from a one man butchery in the 1980's to a significant player in driving the organic meat sector ahead both domestically and internationally.
So who do you contact to find out more about your opportunities---the best place would be your existing contacts, most of the processors/marketers now have organic opportunity in their portfolio. If you wish to make an informed choice at a time of change contact some or all of those listed below. Be sure to check the certification credentials with the relevant certifiers.

US Supreme Court Blocks Trump Decision to End DACA

United States Supreme Court building in Washington DC, 2009
The US Supreme Court decided Thursday to block President Donald Trump's 2017 decision to end DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The ruling was a stunning defeat for President Donald Trump, who fought to cancel the program. The president responded by saying he would continue the battle.
The DACA decision, while a highly political one, and seemingly not based on the law, gives the President of the United States far more power than EVER anticipated. Nevertheless, I will only act in the best interests of the United States of America!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 18, 2020
As President of the United States, I am asking for a legal solution on DACA, not a political one, consistent with the rule of law. The Supreme Court is not willing to give us one, so now we have to start this process all over again.
In a majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court ruled the Department of Homeland Security's "decision to rescind DACA was arbitrary and capricious" under the Administrative Procedures Act.
Judge Roberts wrote there is no question the president has the power to end DACA, but the issue was how he did it.
"The dispute before the Court is not whether DHS may rescind DACA. All parties agree that it may," Roberts wrote. "The dispute is instead primarily about the procedure the agency followed in doing so."
The impact on the DACA recipients themselves, and the potential hardships for the approximately 700,000 so-called "DREAMers" who were brought illegally to the United States as children by their parents and who then grew up in the country was the issue, the justice wrote. But they added that the policy can still be changed.
"We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies. 'The wisdom' of those decisions 'is none of our concern.' We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action. Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients," Roberts wrote.
Joining Roberts in the majority opinion were Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan, as well as Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who filed an opinion and joined the majority in all but one part.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh filed an opinion, concurring and dissenting in part, as did Justice Clarence Thomas, who was joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch.

Brazil's Gabriel completes 'dream' move to Arsenal from Villarreal
foxsports Jan 28, 2015 at 12:16p ET
Defender Gabriel Paulista has completed his switch from Villarreal to Arsenal.
Tom Dulat/Getty Images
Arsenal's protracted move for Gabriel Paulista has been completed, with the Brazilian defender arriving in a deal which will see Joel Campbell complete the season on loan at Villarreal.
The 24-year-old's arrival has been far from straightforward due to work permit complications, although the Gunners successfully argued the centre-back was an exceptional talent who will benefit the Premier League.
That development paved the way for Gabriel to complete formalities on Wednesday, joining from Villarreal in a deal reportedly worth £15million.
The move has seen Campbell move to Spain on loan for the rest of the season, although the Costa Rica winger penned a new long-term deal at Arsenal before departing.
Gabriel is confident he can develop his game with the Gunners.
The Brazilian said in an interview with Arsenal Media: "It's another dream in my career that has come true.
"I have only just arrived, but I am already feeling really good here in London. I am at a top club so that gives me more strength to be able to work and carry on, to be able to conquer much more in my career.
"I am coming to a very big club and I know that I will play with great players. While respecting everyone, I want to play for my place in the team. I know that is not going to be easy, I must show my potential, I have to show that I can be in the group, that the manager can count on me.
"The same goes to all my team-mates. I will carry on the same way I have been since the beginning of my career. I have always respected everyone to get to where I am in my career, and I want even more."
