Questões Militares

    One of the best assets of the English language and why it is so awesome is its flexibility. It is a huge entity of vocabulary and is constantly absorbing new words, whilst at the same time seeping into foreign languages. English contains over 750,000 words. With so many different words available to describe things, you should never be short of synonyms. It is also adding hundreds of new words every year such as ‘blogging’, ‘selfie’ etc... Another reason why English is so amazing is that there are even new ‘languages’ created from English, such as the numerous creole languages across the world which developed as a result of colonisation.

    English has a simple 26 letter alphabet much like most European languages. Compared to Latin rooted languages, English doesn’t have complicated gender grammar rules and much simpler ways of conjugating verbs into different tenses. So writing essays and other academic material in English can sometimes be easier compared to other languages. With a simple structure but evergrowing vocabulary, English has been described as easy to learn but hard to master.

    Although hashtags were first used on Twitter back in 2007, they soon became a social media phenomenon, being integrated into most platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Linkedin, etc.     So what exactly are hashtags, and how can your business benefit from them? Well, let’s go ahead and take a look.

    What are Hashtags?

   Put simply, hashtags are the “#” symbols followed by a string of words. As you’ve probably seen, hashtags are placed in almost every social media post out there. But why?

    Hashtags act as a label for the content users post on social media. Their job is to place these posts under a certain category, making it easier to find content that shares the same topic. And with how cluttered most of our feeds are, hashtags definitely come in handy.

    However, are hashtags important for anything besides making your posts easier to find? Well, any digital branding company will tell that the answer to that question is yes.

    The Importance of Hashtags

    1. Hashtags grab attention

    2. Hashtags increase visibility

    3. Hashtags give you insights into your competition

    4. Hashtags give you insights into your audience

    5. Hashtags increase engagement

    All in all, hashtags shouldn’t be treated as an afterthought. They are as important to social media as keywords are to Search Engine Optimization. If you use them properly, hashtags can increase visibility and help you reach a wider audience.

    With that said, to make the most out of your hashtags, you’ll first need to research both your audience and your competitors extensively. That will allow you to find out what your audience is most interested in and understand how your competitors are engaging with the said audience.

Fortnite’s Shopping Carts Disabled Yet Again By Epic

    Shopping carts are unavailable due to “ongoing issues.”

    Shopping carts have been a fun addition to Fortnite: Battle Royale, but they’ve also proven to be a problematic one. Epic Games has had to disable them a number of times due to problems that have arisen, and that’s the case once again.

    Epic confirmed the temporary removal of shopping carts in a tweet, stating, “Due to ongoing issues, we’ll be disabling Shopping Carts again. We’ll update you when this issue is resolved.” There’s no time table shared for when they might be added back in, but at this point players have become accustomed to seeing shopping carts--Fortnite’s first vehicle--yanked from the roster of active items.

    It’s not uncommon for Epic to disable items; some are rotated out to make way for new ones, while others--like the guided missile--have been removed to provide the studio with time to work on balancing them. But shopping carts have been temporarily pulled several times now in a relatively small window of time. Among other things, they’ve been utilized to glitch into areas of the map that players should not be able to access, which is extremely problematic in a competitive game. With Fortnite’s massive popularity continuing to rise, it’s no surprise Epic is fast to pull anything that might upset its competitive balance (and thereby impact its growing success).

    Since the launch of Battle Royale last year as a free-to-play mode in Fortnite, Epic has steadily and frequently rolled out new content. Some of that comes in the form of new weapons, as with the recently added Stink Bomb, while others serve different purposes, as with the shopping carts and Hop Rocks.

    During E3, Fortnite: Battle Royale was released on Switch, joining the existing PC, PS4, Xbox One, and iPhone versions. Fortnite Mobile is also on the way to Android, although a release date for that version has not yet been announced.
