China-based device maker Oppo continued a push into Europe by launching a trio of devices in the UK, its fifth market in the region.
At an event in London, Terence Tan, executive director of sales at Oppo UK, said the company had been "carefully planning" its UK entry following launches in Italy, France, Spain and the Netherlands over the last six months.
The UK "is one of the most exciting markets. Consumers are demanding, but we love that", he said.
Describing the UK as "a bedrock of creativity," he announced Oppo is opening a design centre in London in partnership with the Royal College of Art. The smartphone maker will also be a global partner for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 set to take place in the UK.
The three smartphones being put on sale in the country comprise the RX17 Pro for £549; its stripped-down version RX17 Neo for £319; and the Find X for £799. The trio are available exclusively through retailer Carphone Warehouse, with availability scheduled from mid-February.
Tan noted Oppo had collaborated with Qualcomm to create "a solid foundation for 5G phones to be launched later this year", with further announcements on this due at MWC Barcelona.


I convert my movies on a Mac. When I play them on windows the video is choppy, it starts and stops, and the motion slider bar, where you move the movie forward or backward, is not working. Basically the movies are unplayable on windows.
What is the correct preset I need to use to convert a movie from Mac to play correctly on Windows ? I want to keep the original movie size and the movie will be delivered on a flash card or a DVD and played on a computer.
Not so much a preset issue as setting the "Web Optimized" flag in the GUI (not sure what the label is on the Mac), which will re-arrange the "directory" in the file to be at the beginning, which will often fix the slider issue on playback.
I tried it and it helps. Thank you. What about the choppy video -- it starts and stops randomly. Are there settings in Handbrake that can help fix that?
Try the fastdecode encoder tune option.
Thank you. I will try it.
I have another question, which is related. What are the best settings for a movie to be played on Windows 10? From what I read Windows 10 does not natively support the mp4 format. The movies I create are embedded in Adobe Acrobat PDF files and clients who use WIndows 10 cannot play them. They keep getting a message from Acrobat saying they need a different video player. Is this an encoding issue or a system setup issue?
Files embedded in PDF files depends not on Windows 10's capabilities, but the capabilities of your PDF reader software.
I've played both MP4 and MKV files using the Win10 movie player. The operating system itself doesn't "natively support" any media format; it depends on the playback software you install.

Colleges Caught Falsifying Admissions Data for Higher Rankings
The law school at the University of Illinois was caught providing inaccurate admissions information.
(Credit: Facebook/University of Illinois)
Texas Christian University is the nation's only university to voluntarily have its admissions data — the number of applicants and their SAT scores, class rank, grade-point averages and other measures — audited for accuracy, according to the dean of admissions. Other universities, such as the law school at the University of Illinois, George Washington University, Villanova University School of Law, Emory University and Claremont McKenna College, among many others, could learn a thing or two from TCU.
These institutions of higher learning have been caught falsifying a lot of data. They could be fined, just like when the law school at the University of Illinois was penalized with a $250,000 fine by the American Bar Association (ABA). Villanova's law school, on the other hand, was put on probation for two years.

How would you like to spend the summer in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, working and living in an area of unsurpassed beauty and serenity?
You can! Sawtooth United Methodist Camp is looking for a few energetic, people loving, fun loving, hard working folks to join our small team and help run the camp this summer.
Sawtooth Camp is 120 acres located at the end of a high mountain valley surrounded by National Forest. The South Fork of the Boise River, near its source, runs through the camp, cool, clear, and clean.
You get a salary, and room and board (that's a place to hang your hat and grub). Every morning you'll wake up to the beauty of the mountains and fresh, crisp air. It will look and feel much different than the town or city you're from. You can leave the stresses of everyday living behind.
You'll be part of a team that keeps the camp running and at the same time contributes to a quality environment of Christian hospitality. We're the background team that helps those coming to the camp have an experience they don't want to forget.
The work varies from day to day based on camp needs: it won't be boring. You will receive training, learn teamwork, learn skills and learn a lot about how a camp operates. It's kind of like an outdoor hotel. And you'll probably start some new lifetime friendships.
You'll have time to enjoy the camp and surrounding area on your own – camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or just relaxing.
If you have questions please email sawtoothumcamp@gmail.com.

Zero-Emission Shipping Corridors Could Speed Green Technology Deployment
Primary Author: Clifford Maynes @CJMaynes
Alf van Beem/wikimedia commons
A declaration launched last month during the COP 26 climate summit in Glasgow called for action to shift the global shipping industry from fossil to zero-emission fuels.
The Clydebank Declaration for Green Shipping Corridors aims to speed up the establishment of zero-emission maritime routes to support the development and deployment of green technologies. It sets an initial target of six green shipping corridors by mid-decade and "many more corridors in operation by 2030."

You'll receive exclusive, never-before-seen-content, distilled and delivered to your inbox every weekend.
The Weekender: Succinct, solutions-focused, and designed with the discerning reader in mind.
The list of 18 declaration signatories included Japan, United States, the United Kingdom, a number of Scandinavian and European countries, Australia, and Canada.
"The Declaration is the starting pistol to industry, to invest, research, and develop these technologies with confidence," said session host and U.K. Shipping Minister Robert Courts.
Although shipping is already a relatively green way to move goods and resources around the world, it is nevertheless a giant industry that accounts for almost 3% of global emissions. That impact is set to grow substantially in the coming decades.
"If shipping were a country, it would be the sixth-largest emitter in the world," said Danish Transport Minister Benny Engelbrecht.
Green shipping corridors are seen as a way to focus and mobilize collaboration among industry, government, and other stakeholders, including zero emission fuel suppliers.
A new report from the Getting to Zero Coalition, released to coincide with COP 26 event, identified the first two prime candidates for green shipping corridors: the Japan-Australia iron ore routes, and the Asia-European Union container routes. According to coalition representatives Johanna Christensen of the Global Maritime Forum and Faustine Delasalle of the Mission Possible Platform, the routes were selected based on factors such as established stakeholder support, cost, and fuel availability.
Christensen said the establishment of green shipping corridors will help to create a "virtuous circle" of demand and supply of green fuels and technologies. Zero-emission fuels are expected to power at least 5% and as much as 10% of the fleet by 2030.
While green fuels are expected to cost much more than current supplies, she said shippers and customers have indicated they're ready to share some of the premium, which could have a modest impact on the price of end products when they reach market. Governments are expected to participate in cost-sharing.
United States Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg expressed his government's support for the Clydebank Declaration, adding that President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill will help further the shift to green shipping. The U.S. was among the countries pressing the International Maritime Organization to adopt an official goal of 100% zero-emissions shipping by 2050. But Buttigieg noted that youth are "candidly skeptical" of the legitimacy of political action on climate change and need to see evidence of real commitment.
Danish shipping giant Maersk, a frontrunner in the shift to zero-emissions fuels, believes net zero by 2050 is "imperative," said vice president Morten Bo Christiansen. Maersk will have one small fossil-free vessel by 2023, and expects to have eight large container ships in services by 2024 or 2025. The company has chosen to power its new fleet with green methanol, and has contracted for power-to-methanol production using electricity from a solar farm in Kassø, Southern Denmark.
With the cost of green fuels coming in three to four times higher than fossil, Christiansen called for a US$150-per-tonne carbon tax to level the playing field.
Danish Minister Engelbrecht said governments need to support green shipping, but shouldn't try to pick a winner among fuel variants, including methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia. "The market will decide," he said.
Alex Hewitt, chair of CWP Global, said his firm was participating in a 20-gigawatt renewable energy hub in Australia that will produce green hydrogen, which is most easily shipped in the form of ammonia.
Fiji, another Clydebank Declaration signatory, plans to extend the zero-emissions model to its tourism industry, including cruise ships, said climate minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum. Green tuna is another goal, he told participants.

Louisiana Crab Task Force Meeting Pete Gerica, Chairman Wednesday, April 17, 2019, 9:00a.m. Wildlife and Fisheries Headquarters 2000 Quail Drive Baton Rouge, LA 70898 AGENDA I. Pledge of Allegiance II. Roll Call and Introduction of Guests III. Approval of March 25, 2019 Minutes and April 17, 2019 Agenda IV….


The United States, as well all know, is the world's most dominant economic and the land of opportunity. Many foreign companies and individuals take this opportunity to have access to its roaring economy. Every day, the number of foreign-owned businesses in the country increases, from big enterprises to small ones. These foreign companies, just like any domestic companies in the country, are subject to comply with all applicable US tax laws. Among many relevant requirements they need to fulfill with the Internal Revenue System or IRS is the Form 5472 – Information Return of Foreign-Owned US Corporation or Foreign Corporation Engaged in a US Trade or Business.
The IRS Form 5472 or the Information Return of Foreign-Owned US Corporation or Foreign Corporation Engaged in a US Trade or Business, is an annual statement required by the IRS to companies that is at least 25% foreign owned, wherein the company has at least one direct or indirect 25% foreign shareholder at any time during the tax year or the company has a foreign shareholder that directly or indirectly owns at least 25% of the total voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and/or total value of all classes of stock of the corporation.
In short, if a corporation that is engaged in doing business or trade in the US market is at least 25% foreign-owned, then it must submit a Form 5472 to IRS annually if it had a reportable transaction during the previous tax year with a foreign or domestic related party.
What are the Purposes of Form 5472?
To disclose information required under sections 6038A and 6038C about reportable transactions during the tax year of a corporation that is at least 25% foreign-owned.
To disclose involvement of foreign nationals to US businesses with IRS, the Department of the Treasury and other government bodies under tax treaties.
To stop foreign tax evasion. Many foreign investors take advantage of the country's LLC law to buy assets in the US without entering the country's tax system thus enabling them to hide their assets from their local tax authorities.
To avoid money-laundering. The lack of disclosure of foreign ownerships has led many foreign individuals to hide illegally obtained wealth by means of investing in legitimate US businesses. Form 5472 requires foreign owners of U.S. disregarded entities to avoid such crime.
US Employer Identification number or EIN – if you don't have an EIN yet, you may apply for it either online, via telephone, fax or mail.
Information about the Reporting Corporation including name, registered address, business activity and corresponding principal business activity code, total assets, and country of incorporation.
Information about the 25% Foreign Shareholder including name, foreign taxpayer identification number, citizenship, US identification number or reference identification number.
Once the form 5472 has been duly completed, it shall be submitted to IRS along with the reporting corporation's income tax return by the due date of the return. If the reporting corporation has more than 1 foreign related party, a separate form 5472 must be filed for each party.
Lastly, as required by section 6001, a reporting corporation must keep and maintain its permanent books of account and adequate records to determine the correct treatment of transactions with related parties.
Reporting corporation such as Foreign-owned LLC, foreign-owned US corporations, US partnerships with non-US partners, are required to file Form 5472 – only if it had a re-portable transaction during the previous tax year with a foreign or domestic related party.
Should you fail to file form 5472 on time and in the manner prescribed or fail to maintain required books and records, a $10,000 penalty may be imposed. On the other hand, if you've submitted your form 5472 on time, but not able to supply all the required information, you may also be liable to a fine. In addition, filing false or fraudulent information constitutes criminal penalties as well.
Filing form 5472 can be excruciating – it's complex and very critical. The penalties for not filing is severe, so it's best to always ask your tax advisor to review your form 5472 before submitting it to the IRS to avoid mistakes and serious penalties.

The Art of Letter Writing in an Ancient World
by Aman Sen
Growing up in India in the '70s, I don't remember being one of her favorite She was old fashioned and it suited me well.grandchildren. There were after all twenty others competing for her affection, but being a boy, I got my inequitable share of her attention and material blessings. My portion of fruit was fresher, meals more buttery and came in larger portions than any of the granddaughter's. She was old fashioned and it suited me well. All she expected in return, along with quick marriages and multiple babies, her expectations made clear even when I was barely 10 years old, were handwritten responses to her letters addressing her as the "venerated god-mother." A title that was as obsolete as her worldview. But I obliged nevertheless, partly because butter was in short supply.
Refusing to move in with any of her children after my grandfather died, she kept in touch via letters. The In-Land letter, possibly the most well-known product of the Government of India, was her weapon of choice. She used the light blue sheet of paper to strafe us with information week after week. The prepaid, pre-gummed sheet of paper with folding flaps on its edges was the ubiquitous tool of communication among the rank and file. It was inexpensive (35 Paisa) and occupied the sweet spot between a postcard (10 Paisa) which provided no privacy and the pricier prepaid envelope (50 Paisa). She often hid stacks of In-Land Letters under her mattress, hedging her bets against price hikes and postal shortages.
With unfailing regularity, she shot off letters to all seven of her children, composing them simultaneously Lax editorial skills coupled with her inability to curate this information made the letter resemble a cryptic war communique.over many weeks, coming back to her works over time, gestating them but eventually confusing herself and the reader with logical and chronological inconsistencies. She compiled all the information that came her way: neighborhood gossip, births and deaths, recent scientific findings, movie recommendations and political commentary. Unfortunately, lax editorial skills coupled with her inability to curate this information made the letter resemble a cryptic war communique. An Enigma machine would have been barely competent in decoding it.
She compounded the confusion by writing in the tiniest font she could manage, the information seamlessly overflowing from the main body of the letter to the flaps. The sender's address box was also not off-limits. Last minute information was added in the "From" address box after the letter had been folded and glued and additional instructions were given asking my mother to either ignore or change the information that was present in the main body of the letter, which she proclaimed was neither interesting nor relevant by the time she finished writing it.
There were no instructions, numberings or arrows to guide you as you roamed the florid landscape. Fortunately, two things were constant in her letters and helped establish the most basic reading sequence — one was the Sanskrit character Om which marked the beginning, and the other, a small invocation to her favorite god marking the end. Sometimes, both clues ended up in the same line converting the deceptively simple sheet of paper into a Mobius strip of information.
She routinely violated the "No Enclosures Allowed" rule set forth in bold letters. Her "blessings" were sent by sprinkling the letters with her collection of vermilion, ash and turmeric powders from the various temples she visited before she folded and glued them. When we opened them, we were covered with the dyes, the resulting stains that were difficult to wash off, made the blessings permanent.
Over the years as she got older, the frequency of letters slowed down. She was finding it difficult to write in her characteristic style and writing in larger fonts was considered an affront to her frugality and pride. Towards the end, she barely moved from her bed and a newly acquired landline phone was her only communication tool. We found a stack of fifty unused In-Land letters, the blue fading away, the papers soft and creased as if they had aged along with her.The conversations were not as charming as her letters and I couldn't bring myself to address her as the "venerated god-mother" over the phone.
When she passed away in 1995, I was working in Bombay and had neither the wealth nor the political connections to get a phone line and ironically, was informed via a telegram with the most minimum words: "Ajji passed away. Start immtly." When we finally cleaned her room and put her things away, we found a stack of fifty unused In-Land letters, the blue fading away, the papers soft and creased as if they had aged along with her, still marked with the 1980s price sticker of 35 Paisa.
An engineer by training but a writer at heart, Aman runs his own company and lives in Brookline, Massachusetts. This essay is a piece of memoir he wrote as part of an ongoing collection for his daughter. India as she knows it through annual visits is far different from the one he grew up in, and he hopes that a collection of these vignettes serves as a field guide for her to understand her father.

The account of @anciolina has been on our 'following' list for a long time. This freelance photographer and stylist has been an absolute inspirator over the last years. She masters simplicity like no other and that in combination with her photography talent makes it such an honor to feature her as a Guest on the Blog.
We are fans of Italian food, Italian fashion and of this Italian blogger @nico_smallittle we came across on Instagram.
Because we love her style, we asked her if she would be open to share some of her favorite photo's from her home. Today she gives us a home tour and some of her best go-to places for furniture and accessories.
It is almost unfair to say we have updated our play room since this room is the most metamorphosed space in the house. And it has always been. Remember how we were all about triangles in the old house with first a pop of yellow and later in combination with vintage? And in the new house we have changed around a few things in less than a year like bringing in the lounger for the kids to chill and read on after school.


"It's my birthday, and I didn't get any presents," he said.
So Ross Taylor, who turned 27 on Tuesday, went ahead and presented himself the best possible gift -- a spectacular century that helped New Zealand to a comfortable 110-run victory over Pakistan in the World Cup match at Pallekele (Kandy).
Or was it someone else who gave him not one but two presents?
Kamran Akmal dropped the New Zealander twice in three balls -- the first reprieve came when he was yet to score and the second, when he had made just four. And Taylor used his good fortune to make an unbeaten 131 not out, his highest one-day score.
"Maybe that was the one (present)," admitted Taylor, acknowledging the contribution of the Pakistani stumper's blemishes towards his innings.
"Obviously I had a little bit of luck early on," he said.
"The dropped chances did play a crucial role. Thereafter everything seemed to come around for me," he added.
Though his innings was a match-winning effort, Taylor wasn't entirely pleased with it.
"The first 60 to 70 balls I faced, I thought I struggled," he admitted.
"It was only in the last 30 balls or so that I played a lot better," he added.
Taylor was, however, happy to have scored his first one-day hundred since October 2008 -- against Bangladesh -- and his fourth overall.
"It's been a while since I scored a hundred in an ODI. I have scored a few sixties but couldn't carry on," the Kiwi opener said.
New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori had on the eve of the match justified Taylor's presence in the side despite not contributing much in recent times -- the latter had registered just one 50-plus score in his last 14 one-dayers -- and had expected he would fire on Tuesday.
"Ross is definitely one of our best players, if not the best batsman," Vettori had said, adding, "He likes to take the responsibility on himself and performs when he is in form.
"I expect him to win a game for us at some stage of the tournament. And hopefully it is tomorrow."
Taylor was more than happy to justify his captain's faith.
"The fact that I haven't been in form in the recent times has been well documented at home," he said.
"I have been very frustrated myself.
But I was trying hard all the while and today I have succeeded," he added.
Taylor plundered 28 runs Shoaib Akhtar's ninth over -- the 47th of the innings -- and a further 30 runs in Abdul Razzaq's fourth over -- the 49th of the innings.
Against Shoaib's pace he hit two boundaries and three maximums and against Razzaq, he hit twice to the fence and twice over it. Thanks to his flamboyant batting, New Zealand plundered 92 runs in the last four overs. So how he did he manage to hit Shoaib so many times out of the ground?
"It was a shorter boundary to that side and that helped," explained Taylor, modesty personified. And he was equally surprised at managing to take his team's total beyond the 300-run mark.
"We needed to get to a competitive total to give ourselves a chance," he said.
"We were trying to get to 250-260 but a 300-plus score was unbelievable, he added.
Unbelievable it was. But not as much as Taylor's magnificent hundred.
Or shall we say his lovely birthday gift.

Beyonce and Jay-Z sit out National Anthem, inciting backlash and debate
The music supercouple reportedly remained seated during the anthem in support of Colin Kaepernick's effort 'to raise awareness of racism and police brutality in the United States.'

While players and fans stood for Demi Lovato's performance of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LIV Sunday, Beyonce, Jay-Z and their 8-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, notably stayed seated, according to a video posted by TMZ.
Were the superstar musical couple showing solidarity with the protest movement started by Colin Kaepernick four years ago? Or did they remain seated at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, because they were not moved, like many others, by Lovato's version of the "The Star-Spangled Banner?"
Or did they stay seated because, well, that's what others in their luxury box also were doing — and not for political reasons but because it was just more comfortable?
Beyonce, Jay-Z & Blue Ivy Sit Down During Super Bowl National Anthem https://t.co/COcUGuTgdD
— TMZ (@TMZ) February 3, 2020
People magazine reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were indeed making a statement at the game, where the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20. The magazine confirmed that the couple are "continuing Kaepernick's legacy to raise awareness of racism and police brutality in the United States."
If that was the case, people, especially those of a conservative mindset, took to social media to express outrage at the couple's "disgraceful" display of "disrespect."
"What a disgusting act of shame," wrote one man. "Beyonce and Jay-Z remained seated during the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. This country has given them the opportunity to be everything they are, and they reward it by disgracing the Flag and Anthem! Our service heroes deserve more respect!"
Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren also piped in: "Beyoncé & Jay-Z (former crack dealer) sit for the national anthem because apparently the United States of America has oppressed them with millions upon millions of dollars & fans. Sounds rough. Maybe they should try another country that allows them a little more freedom & success?"
Wrote another, "Not a Beyoncé fan, but huge Jay-Z fan. I understand making a political statement, but now that he's part of the NFL, this is a bit disgraceful."
The latter comment refers to Jay-Z's move six months ago for him and his entertainment and sports company Roc Nation to work with the NFL as a "live music entertainment strategist" and to promote social justice programs, the New York Times reported. As "music strategist," the rapper and music impresario served as co-producer of Sunday night's halftime show featuring Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.
Jay-Z faced immediate backlash over his NFL deal, mostly because he had been a big supporter of the former San Francisco 49er, who sparked a debate within the league and American culture over race and free speech when he chose to kneel during the national anthem before games to protest the killing of unarmed African-Americans by police. Critics also accused Jay-Z of trying to capitalize on Kaepernick's movement but turning it into profit.
Jay-Z responded by saying he still supported Kaepernick and people protesting social inequality, but he said he also was interested in working with the league to make positive change.
"The NFL has a great big platform, and it has to be all-inclusive," the music mogul told the Times about his decision to work with NFL and its activism initiative, Inspire Change. "They were willing to do some things, to make some changes, that we can do some good."
Around the same time, Kaepernick released a video saying he would continue to "fight for liberation."
Kaepernick left the Niners in March 2017 and has not played in the NFL since.
"Today marks the three year anniversary of the first time I protested systemic oppression," the athlete wrote on Twitter, sharing a video compilation of footage of police brutality and family members crying on behalf of the victims. "I continue to work and stand with the people in our fight for liberation, despite those who are trying to erase the movement!"
On Sunday night, as conservatives decried Beyonce and Jay-Z apparently showing solidarity with Kaepernick, people on the other side voiced their support for their gesture.
"I don't want to hear any more about Beyonce and Jay-Z sitting during the national anthem," wrote one person. "Trump tore up the Constitution and you didn't care about that. Your 'patriotism' means nothing without it."
Someone else pointed out, "Legally, they are within their right to sit."
Beyoncé and Jay-Z make y'all mad every #BlackHistoryMonth. Here for it! #LoveToSeeIt pic.twitter.com/qod3GZEn5K

But others correctly pointed out that Beyonce and Jay-Z were not the only people in the stands, or in their luxury box — or even at home — to remain seated during the national anthem.
Wrote one person: "You shouldn't care about Beyonce and Jay-Z not standing for the anthem because; 1. People were seated while watching at home 2. People were seated at the stadium 3. It's a football game, not a military funeral 4. 4. Who gives a (expletive)?"

Savoy cabbage has a dark green, nearly round head with deeply wrinkled leaves. Fittingly it is often called 'curly cabbage'. The leave color ranges from a dark, deep green of the outer leaves to a softer green, almost yellow when you reach the center of the cabbage. Many consider it the best eating cabbage. I has a delicate texture and the flavor is superior to smooth leaved cabbage.
The cabbage is named after the region where it's believed to have originated – Savoy [straddles the Alpine regions of Italy and France]. The word 'cabbage' itself derives from the French word 'caboche' – meaning 'head'.
Cabbage in general has been around for more than 4,000 years [domesticated for over 2,500 years]. Around 600 B.C. the Celts brought the vegetable from Asia. Since it grows well in cool climates, yields large harvests and stores well during winter – it got quite popular in Europe. Only in 1536 a French navigator introduced cabbage to America.
By the way – largest cabbage ever recored [1865, England] weighed 56 kg!!
Savoy cabbages are available year-round in most markets but are a typical cool-season crop. Peak season runs from November through April [in the Northern Hemisphere]. Unfortunately it is not easily shipped and will not be as often available as other cabbages. In regions where it's neither too hot nor too cold apparently it's not that hard to grow yourself. The crop only takes three months to grow. Once mature it will keep for quite some time in the garden.
Savoy cabbage leaves are not as tightly furled as most cabbages – but still try to get a head that is compact [not fluffy]. It should be large – heavy for its size – with crisp, green leaves showing no evidence of damage or insect nibbles. Fresh cabbage will have a generous amount of wrapper [outer] leaves. Farmers will sometimes pull off the wilted outer leaves as the cabbage ages – check the bottom to see if the leaves start to separate from the stem – an indication of age.
Store the whole cabbage head – wrapped in a plastic bag – in the refrigerator for up to a week [2 if fresh from the garden]. If you already used part of it – keep the outer most leaves to wrap the cabbage with [will keep the inner leaves moist].
Chopped cabbage will rapidly lose its freshness – plan to use it within a few days. Store in a plastic bag [in the fridge] drizzled with water. The older the cabbage gets – the stronger the flavor and odor. Keep away from other foods.
You may freeze cabbage for up to a year. To do so – cut cabbage into coarse shreds – blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water – drain – chill – pack into airtight containers – freeze. Once frozen cabbage will only really work well in cooked applications.
Savoy cabbage is more tender than other cabbages and therefore requires less cooking time. Generally cabbage can be steamed, baked, braised, sauteed or stuffed – as well as eaten raw. Especially if you want to stuff cabbage leaves, savoy cabbage is a great choice – the leaves are pliable and stand up good to longer cooking times.
To rid cabbage of insects and dirt – soak for 15 minutes in salt [or vinegar] water – then rinse thoroughly in cold water. For the mildest flavor and tenderness – cut out and discard the fibrous thick ribs from the outer leaves [they taste bitter].
To remain its sweetness cook cabbage until just tender-crisp. If cooked too long the leaves will lose texture and flavor.
Savoy cabbage has a flavor affinity for garlic, olive oil, polenta, red wine, apples, horseradish and white beans. Complimentary herbs and spices include celery sees, mustard seeds, nutmeg, tarragon, garlic, caraway seeds, dill weed, black pepper and thyme. Good companion vegetables are potatoes, leek, sweet onions and carrots. It pairs beautifully with corned beef, bacon and sausage.
Tip – Cabbage leaves are quite strong and make great containers to serve cold dips and spreads.
Greeks and Romans placed great importance on the healing powers of cabbage – thinking it could cure just about any illness. Emperor Claudius even called upon his Senate to vote on whether any dish could surpass corned beef and cabbage [the senate voted a resounding 'nay']. Egyptian pharaohs would eat large quantities of cabbage before a night of drink – thinking it would allow them to drink more alcohol without getting a hangover [even today cabbage is considered a good hangover remedy].
As inexpensive as cabbage is, it's rich in protective vitamins, with very little calories. The outer leaves are a good source of vitamin E and C as well as sulphur. It it hailed as a cancer inhibitor, stimulates the immune system, kills harmful bacteria, soothes ulcers and improves circulation.
Some people do tend to suffer digestive distress [due to gas from cabbage] – try blanching the leaves for 5 minutes and changing the water before cooking further.

Q: \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} does not work, backend=bibtex works When using the backend=biber option, I get a warning:

package Biblatex warning: Please (re)run  Biber on the file:
  (biblatex) myproject

Result: References are not recognized.

*

*Yes. A similar question does exist - but no solution is provided: Problem getting biber/biblatex/XeLaTeX/TeXworks working together.

*biblatex in a nutshell (for beginners) - as a MWE.
backend=bibtex works like charm.
Question:
What are the detailed steps to get backend=biber working? (When people say run that command or another there is a need of context.)
So my editor is TeXnicCenter.
And I have no clue how to run Biber on my file under TeXnicCenter... or any other environment.
Consider me as a simple mortal that really would like to get this solved, save forever and never come back again.
In TexnicCenter I don't have to do anything fancy with the MWE using backend=bibtex except creating a .bib file. Then I press Build current file - and get valid pdf with my references, which is a way it should be - simple and concise. If there is a tendency to recommand biber for utf-8 support, then we should get fast deployment so this will be adopted faster.
The problem inherently is the same as this one: How to use biber.

A: I would create a new build profile, say LaTeX > PDF (Biber), which is a copy of LaTeX > PDF (the one set up by default in TeXnicCenter):

Now add biber as the BibTeX compiler:

In the above "Command line arguments to pass to BibTeX", %tm refers to the file "Title (without extension)". You can also add other arguments to want to pass to biber here (like the file encoding, for example). For all options, see the biber documentation.
Now you can compile (no output) your document once under the LaTeX > PDF (Biber) profile and a second time under the LaTeX > PDF profile. In sequence, this performs a pdflatex > biber > pdflatex compilation. If you wish to do this in one click, you can add the following to the LaTeX > PDF (Biber) profile's Postprocessor tab:

The pdflatex process arguments are copied from the main profile page.
Running the following MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}% http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}% http://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex

\begin{filecontents*}{references.bib}
@article{mybibkey,
    author = {A. Author},
    title = {Some amazing work of art},
    journal = {A fur realz journal},
    volume = {17},
    number = {3},
    year = {2013},
    pages = {1--99}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{references.bib}

\begin{document}
See~\cite{mybibkey}.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

under LaTeX > PDF (Biber) with the added Postprocessor pdflatex component yields the one-click output

I would suggest keeping separate output profiles, since you only need to compile with biber once you have a change of bibliographic items, so you don't need to do it with every compile.

In celebration of 20 years since the first Harry Potter book was published, I thought it'd be a good chance to look back to one of my own offerings in which I offered a radical reading of Potter's relationship to his magical art.
By renouncing his special powers, Prospero becomes more fully human.
Yes, I thought, the act of abandoning divine powers in order to become more fully embodied as a human? Abandoning a lonely paradise in order to be re-born in human community? Yes, that sounds like a seam worth mining.
Magic is everywhere. Despite the best efforts of the Enlightenment and the pursuit of the scientific method to investigate our universe, stories about magic and fascination with magic have not only persisted, but blossomed. The most popular single volume fiction book of the past century, bar none, is the story of a hobbit and his adventures with wizards and a magical ring. The most popular book series has been that concerning a young wizard called Harry Potter. Not far behind is C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
In each of the stories I pick up – and the book apparates deftly between Macbeth, Spiderman, Watchman, The Prestige… and the Bible – I explore how the promise of a super-natural power lures the hero into thinking that they can finally conquer and get what they desire… but then ends up dehumanising them and removing them from community, from healthy relationship. In fact, the most heroic thing that they do is to give up the very power that they believe had made them heroes. It is only in this renunciation of super-nature that they can become truly human, and thus truly perform the sacrificial work of salvation that they are called to.
On the radio this morning, a theologian was talking about how the Potter books could show people how evil can be conquered with the help of a higher power. If this were true, it would be going against the grain of all these archetypal tales stretching back over the history of story. And I believe that Rowling is far too smart to do that.
Instead, she has deftly offered generations of children a superb tale about how to navigate our way towards 'becoming more fully human.' Harry's journey is from one of total ignorance about the magical world, through wide-eyed and naive joy, and on to healthy critique and – I would argue – rejection.
And from that moment on, there is no mention of Harry performing magic again. Interestingly, though the final book is about the 'Deathly Hallows' – these super-magical objects without which Harry doesn't think he can destroy Voldemort – he in fact uses none of them. He drops the resurrection stone, pulls off the invisibility cloak… and what eventually kills Voldemort is his own death-curse rebounding back onto himself.
In fact, beyond super-nature, the essence of what allows him to overcome Voldemort (read: 'the death drive') is a power much greater: love. In the very final battle, as Voldemort sends the killing curse, Harry's final spell is instructive: 'expelliarmus!' His last act is to try to un-wand his enemy, to take away his magical staff, offering even up to this last point a chance for Tom Riddle to re-enter his own humanity too. Magic has been more trouble than it's worth, and he has now had enough trouble for a lifetime.
The Harry Potter books are a great gift to children because they plot in almost real time this most extraordinary journey from naive childhood into the foothills of adulthood. This is the time of soaring passions and fundamentalist viewpoints. And what Rowling offers, I believe, is a modern-retelling of the most ancient archetype: that if we are to become fully human, we must slip off the cloaks of magical arts, the alluring powers that, at the birth of our individuation in our adolescence, promise to lift us above others into something more powerful and heroic. The most holy thing we can do is to destroy the idea of the holy, these hallows that promise life, but turn out to be deathly.
Despite its limited readership, I'm extraordinarily proud of After Magic because through myriad stories, ancient and modern, it paved for me the way towards the real (hor)crux: that it is not the transcendent, but the radical Christian narrative that fits this form so perfectly. It is here in the post-theist reading of the gospels that we see a young man, so troubled in birth, grow up to battle a great foe, realising that it is only in the laying down of his great powers, and his absolute association with the deepest essences of human existence – love and death – that evil will be unmasked and defused.
That power is no more, and no less, than love for each other. Despite promises to the contrary, the introduction of a divine dimension to this love does not enrich our humanity, but reduces it. This, I believe, is right at the heart of Jesus' teachings.
It is not that these higher powers do not exist. As I have explained elsewhere, I'm the opposite of atheist: I think that it's obvious that we are surrounded by forces – whether consumer capitalism or techno-optimism or state-sponsored communism – that impact on us as 'super-natural demands,' that lead our behaviours away from kindness and generosity and into something closer to delusion and madness. As we grow we are tempted by their promises, but maturity as human people means appreciating that the most godly thing that we can do is to put these godly drives to death (and do so over and over again as a eucharistic act) in order that we might become more fully human(e).
This is as true for our view of divine good as it is for hellish evil. We cannot simply reject doctrines of hell until we reject the idea of an eternal heavenly paradise too. There will be no magical act to save our world, only our own human agency.
In fact, Rowling performs both deicides in orthodox order: Dumbledore must die before Voldemort can be destroyed, because God must be forsaken before the devil is vanquished. The point about her Potter books is that neither can exist without the other: transcendent good and pure evil are co-created by our desire to overcome death, to escape the human dress, but we must first relinquish the promised prize – heaven – if we are to disempower the idea of hell. To attempt it the other way round simply will not work.
So, three cheers for Potter at 20. They've delighted me and my kids and I for one am hugely grateful to Rowling for putting such extraordinary themes in a story cycle that – because it is so deeply rooted in archetype – will be read not for 20 more years, but 200.
You can order After Magic here.
Mmmm. Not sure you are right here. The final chapter of the Potter series is deliberately mundane but Harry is still deeply involved in the Magical world in his job and in his choice of school for his kids. Magic appears to have become normalised. Not sure this is a good thing, e.g. the banality of evil.

The trident's exhibition against Valencia
The Barça front three were in terrific form once again during the win over Los Che, with goals, assists, dribbles and magical moments of skill
12:16PM Monday 20 Mar
A match at the Camp Nou rarely goes by without the front there of Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar Jr taking centre stage.
And Sunday's 4-2 win over Valencia was yet another one of those displays where the trident played a pivotal role in the team's win.
Neymar made two assists, one form a throw-in. Suárez was at his lethal best with a terrific finish to level the game and earned a penalty that forced a red card for Valencia defender Mangala, while Messi scored his 100th brace for the club.
Messi is top of the league's scoring charts with 25, four more than teammate Suárez while Neymar's 18th and 19th assist of the season sees him top the standings across Europe in that department. A truly unique front three.

SEGA confirms Valkyria Chronicles series still alive
December 27, 2016 by George
If you guys didn't know, Valkyria Revolution is the next game in the 'Valkyria' series of titles, but what about the original Valkyria Chronicles SRPG games? Is the Valkyria Chronicles series still alive? In an interview with PlayStation Blog Japan, Valkyria Revolution director Takeshi Ozawa and Producer Youichi Shinmosato have confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles is still on-going.
If you didn't know Valkyria Revolution is a side game, set in a totally different universe from the main Valkyria Chronicles. Ozawa compared it to Shin Megami Tensei and the Persona series where they share common theme and mechanics but the characters and story are very different. Could this mean that Valkyria Chronicles and Valkyria Revolution will be SEGA's big RPG series going forward?
Ozawa also said he always thinks about how they will approach the next installment of Valkyria Chronicles, especially with all the power in current gen consoles. So what do you think? Is Valkyria Chronicles series still alive? Are you excited for Valkyria Revolution?

So man -- "treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile". In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me.

In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

This week in the library all classes are hearing books in honor of Women's History Month. On display in the library are many, many books featuring strong female characters and recognizing the accomplishments of women. Of particular interest is Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine--it is a nominee in the next contest we'll work on: the Cook Prize. Grades 3 and 4 will be participating in this one, which is among three "STEM" books (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). By the way, there is an Ada Lovelace Day to honor the achievements women in technology. Voting for the Cook Prize will take place just before spring break.
Voting has just concluded at Pennekamp for the California Young Reader Medal. The winners here at our school were The Day the Crayons Quit, by Drew Daywalt (in the Primary category) and A Nation's Hope: The Story of Boxing Legend Joe Louis, by Matt de la Pena (in the Picture Books for Older Readers category). Our votes will be tallied along with those of other students throughout California, and a statewide winner will be announced on May 1, 2016.
Grades 3, 4, and 5 had a wonderful time with author D.J. MacHale on the past Thursday, March 3. He presented two exciting assemblies and had lunch with the 5th-grade book club. D.J.'s newest book, Project Alpha (first in the new Voyagers series) is in high demand at the library! Grades TK, K, 1, and 2 also enjoyed visits last week from members of the Manhattan Beach Rotary Club.

Will hep C make me sick?
Hep C is a very slow acting virus, and you may not feel unwell for many years. The first six to twelve months' of infection is called the 'acute phase'. During this time the body's immune system starts fighting the virus. A small number of people may feel unwell and experience flu-like symptoms. But you may not experience any illness at all. In one out of four people (25%), the immune system clears the virus but for most people, unless they are cured, they will have a life-long (also called 'chronic') hep C infection.
For more information about symptoms, see symptoms of hep C.
Hep C infection usually involves ongoing liver inflammation. After around 20 years, many people will remain unaffected while others will have liver damage that makes them feel ill. Over a 20 to 40-year period, continuing liver damage may result in cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). Having cirrhosis for a long period of time may lead to liver failure or liver cancer. These serious situations will affect 5 in 100 people.
Things like alcohol intake, age when hep C was caught and current level of liver inflammation may all influence a person's individual outcome. You need to seek medical advice to find out about your own situation.
New hep C treatments are safe and very effective. Up to 95% of people can now be cured. Speak to your doctor about treating and curing hep C. For more information about curing hep C (see hep C treatment).
If you have cirrhosis, this means that liver inflammation has led to the build-up of scar tissue in your liver. The scar tissue reduces the blood flow through the liver so that it cannot carry out its work as well as it should.
Having another viral infection like hep B or HIV as well.
Cirrhosis can make you feel quite ill and increases your risk of liver failure or liver cancer. Reversal of liver cirrhosis is possible (meaning that the damaged liver can become healthy again), depending on how scarred your liver is. Talk to your doctor or specialist about this. The level of liver scarring can be monitored by Fibroscan® and blood tests. Some people might need to have a liver biopsy but this is not common.
If you have hep C as well as another viral infection such as HIV or hepatitis B, you will be at greater risk of serious long-term illness. It is very important that you keep in good contact with your doctor or specialist if you have either HIV or hep B as well as hep C, so that your health can be checked regularly and a good health care and treatment plan is worked out for you.

Why you need to know about big data
Changeboard Team
10 Dec 2015 • by Changeboard Team
In business, there can be chasms between promise and fulfillment. Consider the case of big data analytics. Companies of all sizes are investing in technology to assemble unprecedented amounts of data, from customer call-centre recordings and product inventories to employee sick days and weather statistics. This goldmine of information, when properly analysed, can solve existing problems and reveal new opportunities.
Yet many organisations are not reaping the rewards of their massive data collection efforts, according to an Ernst & Young study. Integrating big data technologies into existing IT infrastructures, security concerns and a shortage of technical talent are common challenges. A greater problem, though, is the lack of business leaders who grasp big data analytics well enough to guide their companies in applying it to generate strategic advantage.
Wanted: leaders who get IT
"Leaders need to be able to determine if there is value in doing big data analysis projects, to see how it will contribute to the value chain," says Professor "RP" Raghupathi, founding director of Fordham University's Center for Digital Transformation and instructor of an executive education course on big data analytics for leaders. According to Raghupathi, the data analysis that provides transformational insights is expensive. To know if the investment is worth it, managers must understand the lifecycle of big data analytics—how the process really works. But many companies, even entire sectors, aren't there yet.
Actually, the [sectors] that have the potential to benefit the most from big data analytics are the ones lagging behind," says Raghupathi. He estimates that the healthcare industry, for example, is three to seven years behind sectors in which analytics are an integral part of decision making, partly due to their use of older, limited analysis methods. "There are great opportunities here for companies to emerge as leaders – also for individual leaders to emerge," he says. But first these leaders have to "get" what big data analytics really means.
How can data contribute to business success?
Numerous business schools offer big data programmes tailored to senior managers and executives. A typical curriculum covers the framework for collecting and analysing data, lessons on integrating big data analysis into business strategy, and privacy and security implications of data collection and use.
In his two-day course, Professor Raghupathi places an emphasis on technical learning, or, as he puts it, "models, methods and tools." Participants complete hands-on exercises with data sets on several platforms. For the business strategy side of the course, he invites one or two business leaders – usually Fordham alumni – to speak on real-world applications of big data analytics. The course also devotes time to the issue of governance, addressing who owns and is accountable for data companies amass. The goal overall, says Raghupathi, is to help leaders decide if and how data analytics can contribute to organisational success: "Executive education makes them look at the business value of analytics. Will it address our needs? Will it answer our questions?"

Europe will print money, it's just a matter of time
by Mark Thompson @MarkThompsonCNN January 7, 2015: 12:05 PM ET
Eurozone slips into deflation
It's crunch time again for Mario Draghi.
The president of the European Central Bank, whose 2012 pledge to save the euro helped Europe crawl out of its debt crisis, is being called upon to perform another rescue mission.
With prices falling for the first time since the Great Recession, investors are now betting heavily that the ECB will start printing money to buy government bonds on a huge scale.
The Fed-style program of quantitative easing (QE) would be aimed at preventing a deflationary spiral that could spark a new crisis.
"We see a very high probability that the ECB will scale up its asset purchases shortly, probably on January 22, with at least a 65% probability that the new purchases will include sovereign bonds," wrote Berenberg chief economist Holger Schmieding in a note.
The president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, must decide whether to launch a Fed-style stimulus program later this month.
Inflation fail
Unlike other central banks, the ECB has only one policy goal and that is to keep prices stable. It defines price stability as annual inflation of just below 2%.
The last time it was anywhere near that level was two years ago. There's no chance of it returning to target before 2017, according to the bank's own forecasts.
Eurozone consumer prices fell 0.2% in December, the weakest figure since September 2009. As oil prices continue to tumble, there could be worse to come.
"We expect another sharp fall in [annual consumer price] inflation in January, by around -0.5%," forecast Gizem Kara, senior European economist at BNP Paribas. "Inflation will then hover slightly below zero for most of 2015."
The danger for Europe is that falling prices -- or zero inflation -- stifle the region's already feeble economic growth. Consumers and businesses may choose to save rather than spend if they think prices will fall further in the future.
The eurozone emerged from recession in the middle of 2013 but has been stuck in first gear ever since. Business confidence is recovering from the freeze in relations with Russia over Ukraine, but recent indicators suggest 2014 ended on a weak note.
The quarterly rate of growth may have slowed to just 0.1% in the last three months of the year, according to surveys. And the number of unemployed in the eurozone rose for a third month running in November, the first time that has happened since early 2013.
A new recession is the last thing Europe needs. It would make it even harder for countries such as Italy to service their enormous debts and could inflame a backlash against austerity that already threatens to topple Greece's government.
Running out of ammo
The ECB has cut interest rates as low as they can go, and launched limited asset purchases. Buying government bonds is the last big weapon in its arsenal.
Draghi has held back, apparently because he has so far been unable to win the support of enough member of the ECB's governing council.
Opposition is particularly pronounced in Germany, where critics argue QE would be ineffective, let governments off the hook by reducing the pressure for economic reform, and may even be illegal.
If Draghi holds fire again on January 22, it may only be because he wants to keep something in reserve should Greek elections three days later deliver another blow to the eurozone.
Leading the opinion polls in Greece is a party that has pledged to cancel a big chunk of the country's debt and negotiate new terms on its 240 billion euro bailout by the EU and IMF. That could lead to an impasse that may ultimately force Greece to quit the euro.

I've encountered many unique challenges during my 34 years in the industry, but the one that is the most memorable involved the sale and installation of a large static dissipative, resilient tile system for a major New York City based financial new corporation.
The challenge wasn't necessarily the installation of this highly sensitive, high tech type of floor covering per se, but rather the horrendous condition of the sub-floor that I had to address before the installation. To say that it looked like World War II had been fought on it was an understatement. It had railroad rails through part of it along with numerous pot holes, cracks, grease, dirt, debris etc. It was horrible!


You know this is an indulgence of the most gluttonous sort. You know you shouldn't go often. But you're smart about it; you try to go with different people most of the time. You coyly suggest it on birthdays and anniversaries — yours and theirs. Just driving by, smelling the steaks, triggers some sort of primitive desire to chew meat. When you arrive, as you move through the open courtyard and elegant, South Beach-meets-Rio décor, your mouth actually salivates just a bit. You're seated and your waiter explains how it all works. It's time. You start with the phenomenal salad bar, with all kinds of gourmet fresh peppers, cheeses, soups, and veggies. Then comes the meat. Sirloin. Filet mignon. Lamb. Flank steak. Top sirloin. Baby top sirloin. Rib eye. Pork loin in Parmesan. Sausage. And it's all brought to you by delightful gauchos dressed in traditional Brazilian garb. You might debate for a moment with your fellow diners which cut of meat is the tastiest. Then you remember the best part: You don't have to choose.
