FFWD London debuts first ever pre-accelerator programme for startups

FastForward London has launched the world’s first pre-accelerator programme that is designed to assist startups in the journey towards securing funding from investors.

City University London and the Accelerator Academy are behind the scheme that is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and backed by the Capital Accelerator Programme with the aim to create at least 44 high-growth startups over the coming 24 months.

“FFWD plugs the gap between fledgling ideas and startup accelerators by providing a specially designed programme where entrepreneurs can take their ideas and make rapid progress towards creating a funded business,” said Ben Mumby-Croft, enterprise education manager at City University. “It is an ambitious programme, which City is delighted to be involved in, and we look forward to working with our partners Accelerator Academy to pioneer a new methodology that can be used across the UK and then across the European Union. ”

It has been designed as a blueprint that will eventually be rolled out to other parts of Europe in 2015 and of the 44 UK high-growth startups that it plans to create, 35 will be funded by over £6 million in secured funding and it’s hoped that 172 jobs will be created as a result.

Some of the partners that are already involved include New Entrepreneur First, HealthBox, BBC Labs, TrueStart, TechStars, The Bakery and UKTI's Sirius Programme.

The programme will be delivered in “one-day sprints” that cover a six-week period with an induction day for the 25 selected startups on 19 June. This will go over a number of topics such as technology, marketing and finance, using a mixture of delivery methods including expert speakers, industry mentoring, and hands-on experience.

It will then culminate in a mass pitching session in September that will allow companies to present ideas to accelerators, grant providers and early stage investors.

How to take care of your eyes and brain during SSC exam preparation?

Feb 14, 2018 16:05 IST
  • Read in hindi
eyes and brain care during SSC preparation
eyes and brain care during SSC preparation

During SSC exams preparation, you have to study 6-8 hours daily on regular basis for excelling in the exam. Eyes and brain both are equally utilized in the preparation. Sometimes, due to lack of care and harmful habits of watching TV, and others, several candidates face eyelid pain and headache. Apart from this, several candidates are suffering from Eyes and Brain-related problems at an early age. Eyes work as a sensory unit to the brain and are the sub-functioning units of the brain out of all five sensory body-parts including tongue, nose, skin, and ears. Therefore, both these body parts require constant care and treatments.

Banking & SSC eBook

In this article, we will discuss various regular treating methods for overcoming the problems related to your eyes and brain. Let us go through it-

SSC preparation: How to overcome Eyes and Brain-related problems

Take Online Quiz

According to the Medical Science, “The Human eye was not made to look constantly at TV, laptops or phone.” For a proper functioning eye system, it is necessary to improve the blood circulation in the optic nerves of the eyes to keep them sound and healthy. Eyes ailments are among the major causes of brain-related anomalies. Hence, let us take a quick look at the treating methods of both brain and eyes-

This is a great exercise to improve blood circulation in both brain and eyes muscles and it helps in relieving pain with a greater relaxation. Massaging methods for eyes and brain differ in some manner.

For eye massage, use your thumb and index finger and hold your eyebrow between these two’s in such a manner that your thumb should remain above and index finger should remain below the eyebrow. Now, apply pressure gently to straighten your eyebrows exerting pressure at all points. Another exercise is for the eyeball. Take your thumb and roll around your eyeball and eye socket gently. Both these exercises will improve blood circulation in your eyes.

For the brain, you can use any vegetable oils including sunflower seed oil, olive oil, mustard oil, Amla oil, and others. Put some drops on the head and start rubbing slowly with adequate pressure through the fingertips. You can use your palm as well. Repeat this exercise until the oil gets absorbed into the scalp.

You should do this exercise twice a day as per your convenience for 5-10 minutes per session.

Stimulate your eyes and brain

The technique involved in it is very simple. Wake up in the morning, wash your face with water and fill water in your mouth for a few minutes. Then, release water from your mouth. Repeat it at least three times in the morning. This exercise stimulates eyes and brain muscles due to the pressure exerted by the water filled in the mouth. It also improves your skin and nervous system.

Wash your eyes

Ayurveda suggests that one must not splash water directly into eyes. Instead of this, you should use a tridoishic wash. You can prepare it at home by soaking Triphala churna in water over a night. In morning strain it and washes your eyes with it twice a day. This eyewash helps relax and eliminate stress in the eyes.

Adequate sleep is necessary for relieving stress from brain and eyes. It not only heals and rest but relief from bright lights and strain. It also repairs the cells of your eyes and brain. Experts suggest that meditating for 10 minutes before going to bed is the best way to ensure sound sleep.

Diets for healthy eyes and brain

Apart from all the above-mentioned exercise, a candidate must include the following diets in his/her daily intake necessary for repair and renewal process.

  • Dry fruits and nuts: Almonds, raisins, and figs are Amrit for eyes and brain. Daily intake of these fruits can cope your day-to-day body demands to keep eyes and brain healthy. First, soak almonds, raisins, and figs in equal proportion in water and eat them empty stomach in the morning daily. The high amount of fiber and vitamins aids in speeding up the digestive process and help the body to get rid of toxins, which are responsible for brain & eye irregularities.
  • Vitamin-A: Increase your intake of vitamin-A, which is primarily present in carrots, green leafy vegetables, amla, oranges, and almonds.
  • Non-veg and junk foods: Avoid non-vegetarian, spicy, and preservative foods. These results in building up toxins leading to various diseases related to eyes and brain.

All the Best!

I believe it is possible to create a wordless visual movement theatre where questions of who we are as human beings, existing in a complex world can be partially revealed or explored through the medium of choreography, movement and dance.

Questions as I start to work are:

What might the body hold as memories, feelings, propositions, and journeys?

How might that be communicated in a way that has meaning for an audience?

How can physical skill and technique illuminate a depth of feeling that might be quiet and disturbing, questioning, provocative and restless, and which doesn’t rely on the spectacular to entertain?

When I work with groups there is always a strong sense of collaboration

listening and observing the dancers material

paying attention to ideas and images and simultaneously holding the question of the making/composing/direction of the work there is always a delicate interplay between what is taking place inside the dancer, the material that emerges and how the work is being constructed

My physical practice draws on training in Contemporary Dance, Marital Arts, the Feldenkrais Method and Butoh Dance Theatre.

Back in 2011 John had an amazing day at the ramshackle home of world famous inventor Trevor Baylis, on Eel Pie Island. He’d never seen anything quite like it. When his sad death was announced, the happy and vivid memories came flooding back to John. Trevor, a wonderful eccentric, had gone to a lot of trouble to make John so welcome and he had lunch there – and heard so many fantastic stories. Trevor was a great fan of the Rolling Stones, who began their career playing a lot on Eel Pie Island. He gave John a signed copy of his autobiography.

“It was such a marvellous day out for me and I found out a lot about Eel Pie Island. There is just a small footbridge to get to it. Trevor was such fun to be with and I teased him about all the pictures of lovely ladies throughout his house. He was a bachelor – and made the most of it. Good for him. It’s been a sad week with both him and Roger Bannister passing away.”

Cervical Mucous - Pregnancy Symptom

By JustMommies staff

If you have been trying to get pregnant, you may be monitoring your cervical mucous. When you are approaching ovulation, you may notice your cervical mucous starts to change. As you get closer to ovulation your cervical mucous will become eggwhite looking and stretchy. Then after you ovulate your cervical mucous will begin to dry up. But what happens if you are pregnant? Some women notice changes in their cervical mucous when they are pregnant and others do not or if they do, they don’t notice it during early pregnancy.

Cervical fluid during pregnancy

Women may notice an increased cervical discharge when they are pregnant. Leukorrhea is a whitish colored vaginal discharge that women often see during pregnancy. The higher levels of estrogen produced during pregnancy cause the cervical glands to secrete more cervical fluid. It may become more noticeable as a woman gets further along in her pregnancy and is most common in the third trimester. However, some women may notice leukorrhea in early pregnancy.

What type of cervical mucous could be a symptom of pregnancy?

Some women notice an increase in cervical mucous during early pregnancy. It is helpful to know what your typical cycle is like. If you normally have very dry cervical mucous and notice an increase in cervical mucous before your period starts, this could be an indicator that you are pregnant. However, as with any pregnancy symptom, it is not necessarily meaningful. Keep in mind that some women notice changes like breast tenderness, frequent urination, or increased cervical mucous even when they are not pregnant. Still if you ask women who have been pregnant before, many of them describe seeing creamy cervical mucous or sticky cervical mucous during the early part of their pregnancies. While this pregnancy symptom may not give you a clear indication of pregnancy, you may want to monitor your cervical mucous at the end of your cycle. Many women find it difficult to distinguish between normal cervical mucous and pregnancy cervical mucous. If you have been pregnant before it may be easier for you to tell if the cervical mucous you are seeing resembles “pregnant” cervical mucous. Either way, watching your cervical mucous may help you to determine what your own body’s natural patterns are. And, if you have been experiencing other pregnancy symptoms like breast tenderness or nausea, the added symptom of increased vaginal discharge may be a predictor of pregnancy.

Students at local Jewish schools will join anti-gun school walkout

Mira Kittner says what saddened her the most after last month’s mass shooting in Parkland, Florida — in which 17 high school students and teachers died — was that the incident didn’t shock her.

“Not that I don’t feel safe in school,” said the 18-year-old senior at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay in San Francisco, “but these things happen, and affect people my age.”

Initially, Kittner, a resident of Berkeley, didn’t know what to do in response to Parkland. Then she, like many across the country, felt awed by the students-turned-activists from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Their eloquence and poise in the wake of trauma inspired teens like Kittner and her JCHS peers.

Answering the call of the Parkland survivors, JCHS students will join teens across the country who will be participating first in a nationwide school walkout March 14 and then a protest march on March 24. The national March for Our Lives, led by the Parkland teens, will take place in Washington, D.C., while Bay Area students plan to march in San Francisco.

Mira Kittner

“The walkout is really a statement and a starting point for advocacy and discussion to inspire students,” said Kittner’s JCHS classmate, senior Liora Ami of Berkeley. “Overall our administration has been super kind and willing to work with us to make sure we make a statement.”

The JCHS walkout is scheduled to take place on March 23, because students there are taking part in annual student trips this week. Elsewhere in the Bay Area and across the country, the one-day walkout will take place on Wednesday.

Students at the Brandeis School of San Francisco will participate on Wednesday, teaming up with peers from neighboring St. Thomas More Catholic School and KZV Armenian School to stand together on Brotherhood Way. After hearing speakers from each school, students will lay down 17 roses, one for each victim at Parkland.

Gabriella Levin-Meer, 14, is scheduled to speak on behalf of her fellow Brandeis students. The ninth-grader said Emma Gonzalez, an outspoken Parkland student who has gained fame since the shooting, has been so “super-inspiring” that she decided to help organize her school’s walkout.

“It made me realize kids can make a difference, even though we can’t vote,” Levin-Meer said. “It may seem we have no say over what happens, but actually kids across the country have been protesting, and got some great gun control laws passed in Florida. It makes me excited.”

Related: I’m 16. Here’s why I’m joining the school walkout.

Dan Glass, head of school at S.F. Brandeis, said he enthusiastically supports his students.

He also said he has been frustrated, time and again, over having to send out emails to parents in the wake of school shootings that have occurred during his three-year tenure. However, he thinks the response to Parkland, led largely by teens, is making this time different.

“Because the students were so articulate in Parkland, instead of quickly devolving into the politicized debates around gun control that tend to immediately follow in the wake of these school shootings, it was a very student-centered national dialogue all of a sudden, which I think [has been] really compelling,” he said. “Not surprisingly, the student leaders here [at Brandeis] wanted to participate in that national dialogue.”

At another Bay Area K-8 private Jewish day school, Gideon Hausner in Palo Alto, the plan is for students there to join their older peers from nearby Kehillah Jewish High School in this week’s walkout.

Hausner student Henry Kofman, 13, is looking forward to participating after being upset by the Florida shooting and inspired by the vocal teens from Stoneman Douglas High.

“Kids are a lot of people in the U.S.,” Kofman said, “so a lot of us working together and becoming one big force may have more of an impact than adults that go to a voting booth and check boxes.”

Though students from Hausner need parental permission, the walkout will be largely student led, all with the approval of the administration.

“One thing we really pride ourselves on,” said Jody Passanisi, Hausner’s middle school director, “is giving a safe space for students to be able to speak their truth, look at the world and talk about what they see, whether positive or negative. We want them to have autonomy and a voice.”

Our right to be safe in school outweighs your right to have a gun.

Though the students at JCHS in San Francisco are likely to miss this week’s walkout because of the school trips, they promise their March 23 event will be just as meaningful.

Matthew Rosenberg, a 16-year-old sophomore who lives in Hillsborough, said he and his peers, like other students across the country, are planning a 17-minute walkout, one minute in memory of each Parkland victim. After several students speak, they also will hold a three-minute moment of silence “for the amount of time it takes to buy a gun,” Rosenberg said.

“The biggest thing that makes me proud to be a Jew is seeing Jews at the forefront of all social issues,” he added. “To work with my Jewish community is something I really [have] enjoyed.”

Kittner said she was not surprised the Parkland teens have handled the media spotlight so adroitly.

“We pay attention,” she said of her generation. “Our knowledge of this issue has been bubbling under the surface for a long time. This [walkout] has been a way to insert our voices into the conversation, and be able to challenge authority.”

Ami, her classmate agreed. “In a few years, [teens] will be lawmakers constituents,” Ami said. “I think this movement will continue longer, and that politicians will continue to listen because we will become the people voting for them.”

Kittner said she expects lawmakers to start listening to them not in a few years, but now — as students have been placed inexorably on the front lines of the gun debate in America.

“Bottom line: Our right to be safe in school outweighs your right to have a gun of any kind.”

Samsung Launches The Galaxy S5 Mini

Samsung was working on the Galaxy S5 Mini ever since they launched the Galaxy S5. Today Samsung has finally announced Galaxy S5 Mini. The Specs of the Galaxy S5 Mini isn't as High end as we thought they would be. Samsung has been same with spec of these smaller phones like the Galaxy S4 Mini and S3 Mini. But the S5 Mini compromises some things when compared to the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S5 mini sepcs – it sports a 4.5-inch 720p AMOLED panel, 1.4Ghz quad-core CPU, 1.5GB of RAM, a 8MP rear-facing camera and 2.1MP front shooter, and 16GB internal storage expandable via microSD slot. Impressively, though, the mini doesn’t omit many of its higher-end counterpart’s features, like the heart rate monitor and IP67 dust and water resistance. Samsung even managed to squeeze in a fingerprint sensor.
The Battery of the S5 Mini is 2,100mAh. The connectivity was bumped up to 150Mbps LTE and has the IR blaster on top.
The Galaxy S5 mini will be having Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box and it will feature S Health, Private mode, Kids mode and Ultra Power Saving modesame as the Galaxy S5.
The camera hasn't been touched compared to the S4 Mini and remains at 8MP with 1080p video recording. The camera features are also the same as Galaxy S5, as well as the S Studio editor.
The S5 mini will come in black, white, blue, and gold, and lands first in Russia in the coming weeks before expanding to the rest of the world.
Anyone willing to get this over the Regular S5? If so let us know Why, down below in the comments section.

An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positive Results

by Bob Knight with Bob Hammel

Pub Date: March 5th, 2013
ISBN: 978-0-544-02771-8
Publisher: Amazon/New Harvest

With the assistance of co-author Hammel (The Bill Cook Story: Ready, Fire, Aim!, 2008, etc.), legendary college-basketball coach Knight (Knight: My Story, 2002), known for his anger management issues, sings the praises of negativity.

Well into this book, it feels as though the word “negative” is a little too salty. Yes, there are plenty of negative-sounding commandments, but Knight comes across more as fiercely realistic and attentive. He obviously dislikes Norman Vincent Peale thinking (hence the book’s title) and the irresponsible optimism of finding good everywhere—precisely because it doesn’t involve thinking, but a failure to sensibly, actively engage. Knight writes with considerable bounce, and he relishes poking a sharp stick into the Pollyannaish clichés and platitudes of optimism: In response to that old chestnut, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining,” Knight writes, “The cloud is what you’d better notice.” But under the bluster and prickle is a common-sensical approach that is evidently effective if you are a basketball coach with a nose for winning. Despite the histrionics, the slap and choke, and chair throwing, Knight is the third-winningest coach in college-basketball history (he was just passed by Jim Boeheim). Knight counsels to question, worry, improve, do the research, exercise skepticism, avoid mistakes, talk less than you listen and be open to the new. The author is certainly not breaking any new ground here, but his advice is simple and energetic: Have the will to prepare to win; trust, but verify; if it looks too easy, you have a problem.

A quick, negative-to-achieve manifesto that initially sounds like a bummer but turns out to be brightly anecdotal.

    Funny, snarky and sexy

    Kudos to the goddess of Laguna Beach, Tara Lain. I had so much fun reading this story. It was hard to put the book down, and I read it in one session. JJ is so sweet, snarky and sassy. I loved the way he talked and walked, with his fluttery hands and swaying hips. When thinking about him, he looks more like a twink than a tall guy of 6 foot 4. I don’t know how anyone could not see JJ is gay. And that is what this story all about. Appearances. He doesn’t think that the tough cop, Ryan Star, would even look twice at him if he knew who JJ really is. Ryan looks indeed twice, even more times than that at JJ and sees what JJ wants him to see. But Ryan looks deeper than that. Ryan might be the bad-ass cop, but he has reasons to stay in the closet. Reading about his past, had me tearing up for this man. So, it is not all fun and laughter in this book; there are some emotional situations as well. And don’t get me started about the sex. Oh my, steamy and hot doesn’t come close. It was predictable that the deceit has to come out, but it didn’t evolve into very much drama, thankfully. Both JJ and Ryan know they are the one, even when the odds were against them. I loved reading about the other guys in the series. They become so familiar. It is like spending time with old friends. And we get to know some new friends, the spunky twins, Robin and Bobby. I am excited to read what Tara Lain has in stall for those two.

I want to run a... special game...
« on: April 22, 2014, 04:23:18 pm »

It's like a normal tabletop rpg, but at the same time it needs a projector and wifi to really work. I've considered asking the panel staff but I thought I'd start here to gauge interest.

The game is called PICSPAM ADVENTURE.

I have an online database with a collection of pictures. Each picture is a person, place, object, creature, or action. Your character is a randomly selected combination of a person, an action, and an object arrangd by using your smart phone or tablet to open the character generator here: The web page works as your character sheet. The party visits 5 random encounter over the course of the adventure and the GM moderates the whole thing by fitting together the random elements into a loose story. I personally like to use a a d20 to decide things. The whole game can be seen online here: If I got clearance to run this at Kumoricon, I would make a version with pictures and animated gifs from anime!

Now, I could always just sign up for a table at the game room and have people huddle around my laptop to see the encounters. I can't help but think it would be way more fun to have a panel room with a projector to display the encounters and then draw people from the crowd to play with the characters generated on their phones. The randomness of the game makes it a better spectator sport than normal rpg sessions.

So if there's enough interest, I'll fill out a panel form and try and get a room. Otherwise, look me up at the game room some time.

Sorry, I'm just now catching onto this thread. ^^;

I'd be interested in seeing it, but since Kcon is almost three weeks away, there might not be enough time to get the stuff together and get a form in.
But, I do hope you'll think about trying it out for next year!

Upon trying the character creator and getting a dapper gentleman who is good at being a shocked and offended drag queen, who carries and knows how to use a Shakeweight... I gotta say I'm onboard and would totally play. Might be too late for this year, but if you try in the future, you've got my support.

How to create a Visual Studio 2017 offline installer?

How to create a Visual Studio 2017 offline installer?

Microsoft released the final version of Visual Studio 2017 on 7th March 2017, which brought a set of new features and enhancements for the developers to build apps for any platform in any language. It comes in web installer only. No ISO/DVD images are available.

In case you need an offline installer, you can easily create that and customize it as per your need. Follow the steps mentioned below to create the installer.

The 'Visual Studio 2017' build that you generally get from internet is a web installer which downloads the selected workflows and components every time you start the installation. If you would like to create an offline installation layout of Visual Studio 2017 to install it on multiple computers without downloading it all the times, follow the steps mentioned below:

  • First, download the web installer of Visual Studio 2017. You can select any of the editions (Community, Professional, Enterprise) listed there.
  • Save the installer in a folder. Let’s say, we are saving the Enterprise Edition of Visual Studio 2017 installer (vs_Enterprise.exe) in the “C:\VS2017\Setup” folder.
  • Now open a console window and navigate to the folder “C:\VS2017\Setup”.
  • To create the layout of the entire Visual Studio 2017 offline installer for ‘English’ localized language, enter the following command:
    vs_Enterprise.exe  --layout  “C:\VS2017” --lang  en-US
    This will create the installer image in the “C:\VS2017” folder, as we have mentioned.

It’s takes around 20GB+ space to create the offline installer of Visual Studio 2017 and in most of the cases we don’t need all the modules that it downloads. So, it is a generic requirement to customize and select the one that we really need. It is possible to customize the installer components to save your internet bandwidth.

To create the entire offline image of Visual Studio 2017, run:

vs_enterprise  --layout  "C:\VS2017"

To create the offline installer for English localized language:

vs_enterprise  --layout  "C:\VS2017"  --lang en-US

To create the offline installer for English and Japanese language:

vs_enterprise  --layout  "C:\VS2017"  --lang en-US ja-JP

To create the offline installer with only ".NET desktop development" workload, run:

vs_enterprise  --layout  "C:\VS2017"  --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop

To create the installer with ".NET desktop development" and "Azure development" workloads:

vs_enterprise  --layout  "C:\VS2017"  --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Azure

Points to remember:

  • In case the offline installer creation fails for any reason, re-run the same command. It will start from where it left out.
  • If you want to update the existing Visual Studio offline installer layout with a most recent version available on the server, run the same command from the existing installer folder. It will download and update the installer image with only the changes.

If you have come this far, it means that you liked what you are reading. Why not reach little more and connect with me directly on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on my articles directly.

Also, don't forget to share your views and/or feedback in the comment section below.

  1. i have not fast Internet speed so can i download its offline version in parts.....and how much GB it takes for download for full modules VS

    1. Hi Akash,

      - The complete modules for all languages will take around 50-60 GB.
      - The complete modules for English localized language will take around 20 GB.

    2. Yes, you can download in parts, I mean, by workloads. Let's say, if you need to work with WPF, download only the .NET Desktop development workload.

      When you want to work with Azure, download the Azure module in the same offline installer directory. Later, you have the complete bunch of installer files for offline installation.

  2. How do I install it after I download it? Where is the install file?

    1. If you have downloaded the Enterprise Edition, go to the offline installer folder (where you downloaded), check for a file named "vs_enterprise.exe". For professional edition, it will be "vs_professional.exe".

      Alternatively, you can run the "vs_installer.exe".

  3. Hi,

    I want to download only below mentioned workloads,
    .NET desktop development
    ASP.NET and web development
    Azure development
    Data storage and processing
    Office/SharePoint development

    if i am trying download from Offline for a particular workload its downloading only json file and certificates.

    Can you please share me the steps for offline downloading for mentioned workloads.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Praveen H

    1. Use the following command:

      vs_enterprise --layout "C:\VS2017" -lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Azure Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Data Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Office

      Hope, this is useful and solve your query. Let me know, if any further issues.

      Kunal Chowdhury

  4. Is there something wrong with my command? It launches the prepper with Win UI, the loading bar finishes and then it just closes, no download begins:

    vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "C:\vs2017" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.CoreEditor Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Azure Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Data Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetCoreTools Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetCrossPlat Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Node Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Office Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Universal Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VisualStudioExtension

    1. ... and it's the same as Praveen Hiremath's. I get only a vs_installer.version.json and a certificates dir.

    2. Hi Emm,

      There's nothing wrong with the command that you specified. When the Win UI loading bar finishes it opens a Console Window after some time. That will show you the progress of each component. Don't close that window until it closes automatically.

      Make sure that the path that you specified, exists. Let me know, how it goes.

    3. I've said already, the download doesn't begin. The DOS box which shows each component being downloaded never shows. However I did it for each component in part for the same source folder in a batch and it works. It's possible that the one command is just too long. As a sidenote, I was hoping to make the overall installation kit smaller but it's not. 16.9GB with recommended and optional. I just might include game dev and native as well and have the whole package.

    4. Glad to know that, you were able to download the components selectively. I would request you to submit this issue in UserVoice of Visual Studio, so that, Microsoft can check and fix (if any).

  5. Hi sir, Can you help me? command line for visual studio stops to download and closes. But when I tried to re-type the commands for the offline installation It opens the boostrap but does not continue the download anymore. Thank you.

    1. My advice, make a batch (a text file with .cmd extension) and place one command line for each component like like:
      vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "C:\vs2017" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.CoreEditor
      vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "C:\vs2017" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Azure
      vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "C:\vs2017" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Data
      vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "C:\vs2017" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop
      After the bootstrap is done, a dos box should appear downloading each component.
      Also make sure you run vs_Enterprise.exe from outside of C:\vs2017, the one in there is not running the downloads for some reason. So have the single vs_Enterprise.exe in C:\ and run it from there to download to C:\vs2017.
      Good luck! With MS you... we... need it.

  6. thank you for the guide, i have downloaded all the offline setup component for visual studio 2017 community setup

  7. What command should i use to add the .Net and crossplatform in my visualstudio2017 ????

  8. For me it just starts showing file name with extension .json but it doen not proceed with download instead it disappear. Why?

  9. can not do it... json just disappears and nothing happens

  10. Just install the Certificate and run the command again it will download.
    You can modify the json file to suit your needs.
    to install the certificates just run the ps1 script in admin mode

  11. What command should I use to create the offline installer with only "Windows desktop development with C++" workload?

  12. if i turn off pc middle of download this will continue or not

    1. Yes, it will continue from where it left-off.

  13. does the offline installer consists of all workloads?
    like in visual studio 2015 for android sdk installation needs internet,
    what are workloads or individual components excluded from offline installation?
    because all workloads size is around 100gb, offline is around 20-25 maybe

    1. That depends on the customization that you do. If you don't specify any selection of workloads, all the workloads will get downloaded.

  14. Thank you very much for this very impressive guide on how to make an offline Visual studio 2017 installer!!

  15. Hello Sir,
    I want to use Xamarin.Forms and .Net Desktop Development using Local SQL DB. Can you guide me, what I have to do.

  16. Hello, I have googled to no avail so I thought I would ask you. How do I remove a language(s) from the layout? I accidentally downloaded all languages, and now want to remove everything other than English to reduce the size... How can one do this?

    1. Hello Jerry,

      I am not sure whether that is really possible. But still you can give a try. Check the downloaded folder structure to know how they have structured the installation media for different language. Then you can easily take decision, if it is straight-forward.

    2. Thanks Kunal, but I don't really want to go start hacking up the directory, it will probably corrupt the catalog files etc.

      I have opened a feature request on the Microsoft Uservoice website.

    3. That's great! I have also given my 3 votes to your feature request. Thanks for raising and sharing the link here.

Your Hospital Marketing Strategy: Should it be Local or National?

By Kristen HicksJun 23 /2015

One of the many factors you must consider when developing your hospital’s marketing strategy is whether to make your focus local or national. Your choice will have a big influence on what your overall inbound marketing strategy looks like. While there may be some overlap in the type of tactics you’d use for local and national marketing strategies, on the whole, each approach involves a different focus and distinct efforts.

Making the Right Decision

If most of your patients are local, it may seem like an easy choice. But any hospital that’s gained national attention due to an award or a “best of” list has seen how much national recognition can pay off.  People will travel for good medical care.

A national marketing approach won’t be practical for every medical practice or hospital, but it might make sense for you if:

  • You’re at a prestigious hospital with a reputation for excelling at health care in general or a few special areas of care in particular.
  • Your practice is especially strong in one or two specialty areas—particularly if they’re the sorts of specialties for which good care is rare or the need is especially serious.

In other words, ask yourself if your hospital has something to offer that would be worth traveling for. If the answer is “yes,” and you have the marketing resources to pull off a national approach (which does require more work than a local one), then structure your marketing plan with the larger market in mind.

Even if you have the utmost respect for the expertise of your doctors and feel they could compete with any other hospital, a local marketing approach might be the best fit for you if:

  • Your marketing resources are limited. It’s important to know your limits and craft your plan accordingly. The Cleveland Clinic has brought in thousands of new leads by taking a national approach to its content marketing, but the marketing team creates 3-5 blog posts a day and has produced hundreds of videos to get to that point. You don’t have to be that prolific for national marketing to be an option, but you will have to put in a lot of work to get a return.
  • You’re only interested in local patients. For many medical practices a local focus is simply the preference. If you can do enough business treating patients from your own community and prefer to stay local, there’s no need to target business outside of it.

Many patients are likely to value a local approach. The idea of knowing your doctor well and potentially running into them at the grocery store or local park may be ideal for many of your patients. You can tap into that market more successfully by keeping your focus small.

The Differences in Execution

When you’re talking about health, many issues are universal, so lots of the topics you’d cover for local and national content marketing are the same. But there are a few ways to localize your content effectively.

Suggestions for Local Hospital Marketing:

  • Address any health issues particular to your area, such as seasonal allergies or an outbreak of something contagious that starts to spread through your community
  • Seek out relationships with local businesses relevant to health – you could write a post on the benefits of yoga that highlights the local yoga studios, for example.
  • Capitalize on local news and events. If there’s a local debate about adding more bike paths to the street, you could produce content about the health benefits of biking (or the health risks of bike accidents).

If you’re taking a national approach, one of the biggest differences is one of scale. To keep up and compete with the other hospitals involved in national content marketing, you need to produce a steady stream of high-quality content.

Suggestions for National Hospital Marketing:

  • Consider branching into different formats beyond writing, like videos, slideshares and infographics.
  • Become a voice in the larger community. Find other influencers in your hospital’s specialty areas and engage with them.
  • Ramp up your PR efforts. To gain attention beyond your own community, you need to actively seek coverage from the national media

The Bottom Line

You don’t necessarily have to choose between the two options. If you have the bandwidth to pursue national marketing, while also developing local relationships and content, by all means, do! Most health care practices will have an easier time focusing on one or the other, though.

For a marketing plan to be successful, it has to be sustainable. Carefully consider your marketing goals and the resources available to you—a good healthcare marketing strategy requires finding the right balance between the two.

Lakers News: Jeanie Buss Reveals When Kobe Bryant Will Likely Receive Statue...

Lakers News: Jeanie Buss Reveals When Kobe Bryant Will Likely Receive Statue Outside Staples Center

Kobe Bryant, Jeanie Buss, Lakers
Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports

Earlier this season the Los Angeles Lakers honored Kobe Bryant by raising both his Nos. 8 and 24 jerseys in the Staples Center rafters. The ceremony was attended by some of the greatest stars to ever play in the NBA, and touching words were spoken by the likes of Magic Johnson and Jeanie Buss.

A Laker player having their jersey raised is a pretty exclusive club, but even more exclusive is those who who have a statue outside of the building. Currently, the only Lakers to have them are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal, along with legendary broadcaster Chick Hearn.

Many expect Kobe to eventually join that group and Jeanie all but confirmed that he will one day do so as she guest hosted the Mason and Ireland show on ESPN L.A. Radio. Buss also gave a timeline as to when to expect that moment:

“Our tradition is to retire a jersey when a player is entered into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Now, to be considered for the Hall of Fame, you have to be retired for five years. Obviously, we didn’t stick with that rule, because when Magic Johnson retired, we immediately retired his jersey. Shaq asked to have his jersey retired while my dad was still alive because he wanted my dad to know he wanted to retire a Laker. So we made an exception there. We obviously made an exception for Kobe two years after he retired, because we know he’s going into the Hall of Fame. So what we did with Shaq, when he went into the Basketball Hall of Fame, that’s when we unveiled his statue. So I guess we can assume that at some point Kobe will be considered for the Basketball Hall of Fame, and we’ll figure it out.”

As it currently stands, Bryant is still three years away from being Hall-of-Fame eligible. So, fans should start preparing in 2021 for Kobe to be bronzed outside of Staples Center. The bigger question now will be what pose will be chosen for his statue.

There are plenty of legendary ones to choose from, such as his celebration after hitting the game winner in the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns in 2006, walking off the court after his 81 point performance, or standing on the scorer’s table after defeating the Boston Celtics to win his fifth championship in 2010.

Not to mention the number of amazing dunks he threw down over the course of his career. Whatever is ultimately chosen, Buss will make sure the Lakers go all out to honor Kobe once this time comes, as he will join the great fraternity of legends to be forever immortalized outside of the arena that he has more memories in than anyone.

Why Do It?

Why Do It?

With generous support from Paul Hamlyn Foundation, we piloted the LAMDA Level 2 Award in Speaking and Listening Skills with 10 schools across England in autumn 2015. Here’s what they had to say about the value it added to both the school and their students…

“My students’ confidence has improved significantly through engaging with this qualification. They did the practical exam today and they came out with massive grins on their faces and had a real sense of achievement. As a teacher you want to see them growing as students and today they were growing in front of my eyes. It’s why you go in for the job: to see young people develop into great human beings.”

Penny Umkalns
Teacher, St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, Birmingham

“This qualification benefited our pupils because it forced them to think on their feet, as well as prepare, plan, be flexible, responsive, resilient and reflect on their work.”

Sue Roberts
Head, Prendergast School, Lewisham

“Students being able to articulate their thoughts in an academic, formal way completely connects with their ability to write about the subject and pass examinations. So, through their LAMDA work, their performance in all subjects will be lifted.”

David Benson
Principal, Kensington Aldridge Academy, North Kensington
