The majority of users’ time online is spent with content; a great deal is also spent on email and social networks – two platforms where content can be shared. This study from AOL and Nielsen investigates the overlap between content and sharing to answer the question: Does content fuel the social web?
In a word, yes. 23% of all social media messages contain links to content. Plus, this doesn't account for downstream activity – responses to these messages such as comments and “likes.” What's more, it turns out sharing is a cross-platform activity, with the same people utilizing multiple means for distributing their favorite content.
So how can marketers, agencies, buyers and planners take advantage of content sharing? The study looks at the following key areas:
The amount of social media conversations that include content & brand mentions
The user’s motivations: What makes people want to share content?
Two main strategies for using content sharing to spread your brand’s message

Britain has a unitary system of government led by a prime minister and cabinet. The prime minister is the head of government and selects cabinet members from parliament. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have devolved powers and their own subnational governments and judicial systems.

The political system in the UK has evolved from an absolute monarchy to a parliamentary democracy over centuries. Key developments include Magna Carta in 1215 limiting royal power, the creation of the Model Parliament in 1295 establishing the House of Lords and Commons, and the English Civil War in 1642 that abolished the monarchy temporarily. Over time, Parliament has gained dominance through control of finances and the prime minister has emerged as the leader of the government. Today the UK has a constitutional monarchy with the monarch as head of state and a multi-party parliamentary system.
The British constitution is not codified in a single document but can be found across various sources. It allows flexibility but some argue it should be codified for public access. Key principles include parliamentary supremacy, rule of law, and separation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches. However, membership in the EU and international treaties have also impacted the UK legal system.

Portsmouth presentation 11th march 2014 (v2) for blogJohn Smith
Giles Piercy from Locality Matters gave a presentation about their work with the White City Estate community in London. They have taken over running services like the community center and parenting programs. Locality Matters is also exploring taking on more services from the local council like social care, repairs, and reviews of all council services. Some key lessons they have learned include having a strong community leader, acquiring a community asset like the center, replacing rather than augmenting existing services, improving branding and marketing, choosing attractive services to take over, and working from an asset-based view of the community's skills rather than focusing on deficiencies. Their goal is to empower the community to better deliver and manage local services.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Lets remind ourselves of what Parliament is made up of There are three parts…
Legislation must be approved by both houses (for the most part). Proposed legislation will go through the same stages/ levels of scrutiny in both houses. Both houses play a key role in this. Taxation: this is something that only the House of Commons is involved in. This is because (since 1911) only elected members have had a say in financial matters.
