Here we are: Travel Hysteria gives you 6 inspirational travel books to be read right now. Thanks to them, you will start travelling even without moving from your sofa.
"I can't stand it to think my life is going by so fast and I'm not really living it." Isn't that what most travelers feel? To see and experience as much as possible, and travelling is a great way to achieve it.
Hemingway (himself a passionate traveller) will take us to three different destinations: Paris, San Sebastian and Pamplona. The way Jake Barnes, the main character of the book, describes these three places makes you simply want to go and try it on your own. Bars and cafés full of cigarette smoke in the artistic Paris, mountain streams of the Pyrenees and the heat and passion of siesta in Pamplona give us goosebumps just thinking about them!
We included it in our travel books list, even if this is not really a travel book. Yet, we felt it should be a part of it because the world that Gabriel Garcia Marquez managed to create is every traveller's dream.
Don't get confused by the imaginary town of Macondo as it is a metaphor for Colombia. Throughout his colorful images, magic and mysterious events you will slowly uncover the very heart of the history of Latin America and the arrival of European conquistadores. Now, many of you may argue that the story is just too complicated and banal and why you should even finish it. We agree that one of the main features is the repetitiveness of events or names but…that's exactly the point.
Now something for the romantic travellers. Jorge Amado managed to write a book that will actually make you feel like you're in Brazil (not exactly Rio De Janeiro but a small town called Ilheus).
The title tells you more about the main character, who works as a cook for a rich Syrian Nacib Saad. Her skin is like cinnamon and she smells of garlic. She is wild, likes to run around barefoot and she does not hide the needs of her body and give herself to pleasure. Amado's writing is colorful, full of different smells and culturally rich. Forget about soap operas: this travelling to a Brazilian cacao town is much better.
Now let's move to a completely different continent. Most of you have probably seen the movie version with Leonardo DiCaprio but surprisingly only few people know that it is based on a book.
Once in a while each of us has a desire to find a deserted tropical island with white beaches, crystal clear water and especially no people around. Richard from the book together with his friends succeed. Somewhere in a national Thai park they create their small paradise far from reality. We don't want to reveal more details but as you can guess some unexpected shadows fall upon their fairytale and…well, read the book.
It's a novel based on a true story, where the author is the protagonist and tells his story, adding various fictional elements. We don't know what is real (we would say 20% maybe) and what is not, but this book is truly amazing. Briefly, the plot describes the story of Linbaba, who escaped from an Australian prison and arrived to India. Here, the main character will meet plenty of lovely people, some hateful ones, and he will be involved in thousands of adventures.
The best thing about this 1100 pages book is the atmosphere. You can really feel the Indian atmosphere, with its colors, smells, contradictions and humanity. You will be there with your mind, hoping, swearing and smiling together with the characters. In the first third of the book the story goes a bit slow sometimes, but it is still a great piece of art. It will make you desire to visit that country!
Last but not least, this book of the Italian journalist Terzani is one of the best one we have ever read. It couldn't miss in our travel books list.
In 1976, the author was told by a fortune teller in Hong Kong not to fly in the year 1993. The prophecy was: If you fly that year, you will be hurt or die. Seventeen years later, he decides to follow this prophecy: not that he really believes it, but he takes a chance to visit many countries of the Asian continent without flying.
From Malaysia to Thailand, from Myanmar to Singapore, the author reports his encounters and talks with local people, discusses their traditions and beliefs. You can feel and breathe, between the pages, the Far East atmosphere, with its magic and contradictions. Moreover, the book contains Terzani's observations on the development of Asia, and his worries about the disappearance of ancient traditions.

The minutes of December's FOMC interest rate meeting suggest the US Federal Reserve is in fact more attuned to the recent tightening of financial conditions and risk of a slowdown than first thought. Tweaks to the language in the FOMC's December statement were intended to emphasise the data-dependency of the Fed's monetary policy stance and also that only limited policy tightening was now envisaged. While we view this as reassuring for the remainder of 2019, the heightened volatility of global markets following Fed Chair Powell's press conference demonstrates the ease of a miscommunication when interest rate policy becomes politically charged.
In particular, Powell did not seem to be able to avoid the market latching onto his "autopilot" comments on the reduction in the Fed's balance sheet, rather than the more mundane but important actual shift in forward guidance, which some participants in the meeting believed should have been emphasised more by making further changes to the meeting statement.
Outside a technical discussion on ensuring proper control of the Fed Funds rate, balance sheet policy was not mentioned in the FOMC minutes and potentially Powell was caught off-guard by questions on balance sheet policy. His comments in early January have since clarified, not surprisingly, that all of the Fed's monetary policy instruments are adjustable when necessary.
In terms of Fed rate policy, given these FOMC minutes and the recent comments from other Fed policymakers, we believe there is now relative convergence between the Fed and market-implied expectations. A slowing but still growing US economy with unemployment below the expected long-run average and inflation close to, but below, its target seems consistent with a Fed Funds rate at the lower end of the neutral range.
Furthermore, only a limited amount of further tightening is foreseen, as is implied in futures markets. Powell's August Jackson Hole comments echo in the FOMC minutes "especially in an environment of muted inflation pressures, the Committee could afford to be patient about further policy firming".
FOMC participants do not appear at present to have a good understanding of the divergence between US financial markets and the fact that the US economy was evolving in-line with their expectations. It was suggested that the gap should be attributed to investors pricing in tail-risks such as trade tensions which may impact future growth.
We believe a less US-centric Fed would be paying more attention to the slowdown in the soft economic data overseas.
December's interest rate increase was unfortunately politically charged due to US President Trump's insistence on making his views on the correct level of interest rates known and in addition hinting that Powell personally was not in his favour and could be removed. It is unclear if these political dynamics clouded the communication of the FOMC's actual views during December but it did not make it any easier to calm markets.
While we would have preferred to see the US Fed pay more attention to international developments the views of the FOMC expressed in these minutes do appear to give credence to idea that the inflection point in US monetary tightening is behind us. US interest rates are perceived as being in the right area and policy from here will be data dependent. That is in our view a sufficient condition for investors to come to the view that Fed tightening was a risk for H2 2018 rather than the coming year.


KIRSTEN LEARNS: Web designing - What is more in it than designing a eye catching website?
Web designing! It is a fancy work now. There are no companies authorized by the consumers without a proper website nowadays. We need a digital face for anything and everything. So, what exactly are you thinking when you hear the word 'Web Designing?' What is the first thing that comes to mind? Probably, you might be thinking this such as attractive, eye-catching, colorful or pretty. Of course, these are the common schemes we would be thinking.
Basically, design is the process of collecting rich ideas as well as aesthetically arranging and implementing them together, guided by particular principles for a purpose. So what is Web designing? Obviously, it is a similar process of creation, but when we create a website we create it with an intention of picturing the content on electronic web pages. And finally, the end-users will be able to access the website with the help of a web browser through the internet.
An effective web designing will be built with the elements as follows.
This is an important element of a Web design. Because this is the one that will deal with the platform that you are using in order to present any organization's content. There are a lot of coding options for you. Either you can use straight HTML or the other options such as CSS, PHP and much more. Or else you just can use a script, either Joomla or Wordpress. In fact, they can very well affect the search engine rankings of the website you create. You can also learn web design in Hyderabad if you want to gain more knowledge about it.
Is the site being visited often?
Is it easy for the end-users to navigate?
Are they having any issues visiting the web pages in a sequence?
Can they track the homepage back?
There are so many questions like this and only a skilful web designer can answer all these with his coding skill and sitemaps.
This element of web design pertains to how easy it is to read a website. An average reader certainly will prefer simple texts. For example, an average reader may find easy to read the black letters on a white background rather than reading white texts on a black background since it is uncomfortable for them. If you want to know more and if you are interested in this field it you definitely can learn web design in Hyderabad. All these small things can make a big difference in a website you create.
It is the key for an effective Web Design. In any website functionality should be easy to interact with. But this is not an issue for content only websites in general. It is an issue for the other websites that offer any sort of interaction methods. Example, when you have a blog where your visitors can comment on your posts, Proper work should be done on those sorts of websites.
So, as said earlier, a website is just not about how pretty it is, It is all about well function, user-friendly, easy to read, and the coding that you used to build the site. As long as you are pretty sure about the time you take to work out each of these elements when you build a site, then you successfully will have a designed website which will please your visitors!

Culture is a window reflecting the history, cultural and spiritual world of a nation, a Cultural Exchange is a bridge to enhance the mutual understanding and friendship between the people of different nations.
In an era, so set on the idea of evaluation through marks, Jagran Lakecity University has proved to be an outcast, where quality education is imparted not only through books but outside the box as well.
Culture Exchange helps students in adapting and learning about a new environment and provides an opportunity to learn about different cultures from a local perspective. Companies of all types nowadays work with international clients and partners and it has been observed that the work culture is more diverse, hence such programs help students polish their communication skills and make it easier for them to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. We provide our students with ample opportunities to interact with students from all over the world to exchange their views and methodologies.
This year was no different. The Jagran Lakecity University, School of Commerce and Economics conducted a cultural exchange event where students from California Baptist University took part in an interactive session with our students. The program led by Deborah Rebecca Sam was an initiative by EdLink Bhopal, based on cross cultural interaction and enrichment. The student delegates were Daniel Gottob (Psychology), Lisa Orona, Troy Mitchell (Health Science), Cassie Fuire, Cassie Vela, Brook Young (English) and Gwen Ramirez (Nutrition) along with 2 faculty members, Mr. Ian Price and Mr. Bernard Dafney.
The program started on a light note with two musical performances by the students of California Baptist University and one by our students. The real thought exchange, however, began with the question and answer session. Critical topics such as 'role of women in the Indian society', 'religious freedom in India' and 'current political issues' were discussed. Our students succeeded in providing a thorough insight on 'education in India' to the student delegates, whereas they enlightened the audience on 'communities, caste traditions, and challenges faced by American citizens'.
The whole interaction turned out to be an enthusiastic and fun affair. The student delegates expressed gratitude for the hospitality and support they received in India.

26 April 2022 | Nature, News
How keen and ready is business for nature-related financial disclosure?
The financial community is getting to grips with its pivotal and expanding role as a key driver of our sustainable future. Realities – such as half of global gross domestic product being dependant on nature and therefore vulnerable to spiralling nature loss – are sinking in and awareness of and action on nature-related financial risks have been growing.
Meanwhile, obligation is also being baked into multilateral agreements. Discussions are ongoing, but draft text of the UN's new global nature goals – the post-2020 biodiversity framework – now includes clear wording on raising finance for nature, phasing out harmful investment and aligning financial flows towards a make-or-break, nature-positive future for the planet.
With access to a growing nature-focussed toolkit – including resources such as the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT), the Exploring Natural Capital Opportunities, Risks and Exposure online platform and the newly released Land Use Finance Impact Hub – investors are repositioning themselves to act for nature, but how well-primed are the businesses that they fuel?
A new report, released today from an expert team from the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and the United Nations Development Programme, sets out to provide answers. It investigates how far businesses are interested in and ready for nature-related financial disclosures, and gathers insights from company leaders to help guide and refine the development of disclosure frameworks, including the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
Launched in 2021, the TNFD follows in the footsteps of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in developing a disclosure framework that enables organisations to report and act on evolving nature-related risks.
By fostering knowledge sharing and collaboration on nature-related risks and opportunities, the TNFD plans to guide financial institutions and companies in putting considerations and positive action for nature at the heart of their risk and asset management and long-term planning.
Testing market mood: are corporates ready for disclosure?
In the Autumn of 2021, the UNEP-WCMC, UNEP FI and UNDP team conducted detailed interviews with the directors and business development and sustainability leads of 19, mostly global, corporates – spanning broad sectors including energy, mining, fashion and cosmetics and food and retail.
The interviewees represented front-runner companies, most of which are involved in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets Network, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the TNFD, and were approached because of their ability to give informed feedback around the benefits and challenges of embarking on nature-related business analysis and disclosure.
Today's report, Are you reading for nature-related disclosure?, reveals that while large corporates are clearly beginning to trial nature-related assessment and monitoring methods, and starting to engage with the nature conservation sector, they are struggling due to knowledge gaps.
The companies interviewed acknowledged that nature-related dependencies made up the bulk of their financial risk, however, dependencies still remain poorly addressed in practice and in corporate reporting, and actions focus primarily on mitigating impacts.
The report found that companies in high-impact sectors – such as energy, mining and infrastructure – are actively finding ways to avoid, minimise, restore and offset impacts throughout their project implementation. Meanwhile, retailers and manufacturers are prioritising engagement with their supply chains to further their impact risk management. However, risk management processes are disparate, and companies are keen for new tools, datasets and guidance.
Charting the path for global disclosure of nature-related risk
Based on the expectations and insights from companies interviewed, the report makes various recommendations to the TNFD to guide its successful ongoing development, including:
TNFD taking the lead in progressing consistency across nature-related disclosure initiatives, and fostering a culture of collaboration and iterative improvement across finance and business communities
Strengthening the business case for addressing nature-related risks and opportunities
Triggering cross-sectoral engagement with supply chain agents to systematically improve transparency
Making use of ongoing business-focussed research from initiatives such as SBTN, to decide on appropriate indicators for nature-related disclosure.
Last month, the TNFD launched its first "beta" disclosure recommendations. These will now be consulted on, piloted and refined by a broad swathe of finance, business and other interested global stakeholders, with the final version of the inaugural framework due for release in autumn 2023.
UNEP-WCMC Deputy Director Corli Pretorius said: "Today's report into market readiness highlights the efforts and ambition of companies to manage nature-related risks. These efforts will be crucial to create resilient landscapes and the long-term sustainability of operations, and are anticipating the implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. Early action must be encouraged, supporting more companies to understand and assess their nature-related risks, and to deploy nature positive strategies to seize business opportunities and reverse biodiversity loss."
What's next for businesses, financiers and nature-related disclosure?
Today's report shows that while corporate understanding and activity on nature-related risks, opportunities and disclosure is still at an early stage, businesses are engaged and keen to progress.
As the TNFD works towards the next iterations of its beta disclosure recommendations, enabling stakeholders – including UNEP-WCMC, UNEP-FI and UNDP – will continue to provide businesses and financial institutions with best-available insights and guidance.
Following on from the assessment of corporate readiness on disclosure, sister reports for the benefit of businesses and financial institutions have also been issued: one on the availability and suitability of public nature-related data, and another on sector-specific considerations to help prioritise nature-related disclosure efforts.
Eric Usher, Head of UNEP FI said: "Financial institutions need clear information and market transparency to be able to assess risks and allocate capital at scale towards nature-positive solutions. This report shows the urgency of action still required for corporate disclosure, with the material risk of nature loss continuing to impact balance sheets, despite many companies not yet fully prepared for disclosure. UNEP FI looks forward to supporting its membership, bridging the knowledge gap, preparing the financial community for the upcoming global biodiversity framework, and running pilot projects to test and strengthen the TNFD."

Suggesting that blacks need special treatment is an insult to those who got us here
Jericho basically says:
Other races have been enslaved and they don't need special treatment.
To say that black people need special treatment is an insult to those who fought for civil liberties.
Wait..., what? No!!!
We just need a path to education and jobs for all poor people regardless of color. ;)

BurritoLunch(6411)
In fairness, as a socialist and perhaps anthropologist I believe that enslavement is more about class than race. We are a hostile species and the bullying which occurs because of the differences between us is only a symptom of that, not a catalyst or a cause. Generally the way it works is that whoever has the superior technology uses it to enslave whoever doesn't. I believe things like racism emerge later, as the brain attempts to justify the reality it finds itself in.
Indeed, I believe one could easily argue that single difference really defines left versus right wing ideology. People on the right want to justify the reality they find themselves in. People on the left want to criticise it.

Hello joe:
Suggesting that you wanna keep everything for yourself is an insult to humanity.. I know this Jewish guy.. He says, "I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Smart fella.

Suggesting that you wanna keep everything for yourself is an insult to humanity..
Then why don't Aliko Dangote, Patrice Motsepe, Oprah Winfrey, Mo Ibrahim, Mike Adenuga, etc employ or donate to these folks in mass?

Why do you only want left wingers to donate? Why do you only ever list left wingers?
Your party wants his statues down
Why do you always tell left wingers what they want and don't want?
Oh, I forgot. It's because you are a total and utter idiot.
Because when you condemn the right for not helping while the left can't even start the movement, you're a hypocrite.
They tell us, and what they say never makes sense.
Your ideology promotes 5,000 genders while people who get sex changes only choose between 2 genders to switch to.
Because when you condemn the right for not helping
So you have no answer about why you only ever attack the left other than another attack against the left?
Lol. You're such a stupid Nazi.

You were too greedy to help those poor people. Capitalism has rotted your brain into self indulgence and lust for money and freaky animal sex with pets.

So why do you need to tell us if they've already done it?
You're such a stupid Nazi.
You have a thirst for cooking Jews in ovens.

Dell Inspiron 7580 BIOS Update
Dell Inspiron 7580 BIOS Update Windows 10 – The Dell Inspiron 7580 BIOS Update is a small program stored in flash memory on the motherboard. Because the BIOS is an essential component of system startup, errors or viruses in the BIOS can make a computer completely unusable by normal means. If this happens, you must reinstall your BIOS. Here, we offer the Dell Inspiron 7580 BIOS Update by an appropriate installation guide. It is quite simple to download the Dell Inspiron 7580 BIOS, just simply click the "Download Link" below.
Dell Inspiron 7580 BIOS Update Windows 10
We found the opening of Dell Inspiron 15 7580 quite simple. There are 10 screws to remove from the bottom panel. However, keep in mind that four of them must be removed (the furthest hinges), while the others are designed to remain on the bottom shelf forever. When unscrewing them, the lower plate rises timidly, leaving space for our small plastic tool to enter and separate from the main body. Our first look inside reveals something disappointing. It is also disappointing that we often see it on other low-voltage laptops: a single heat pipe from the processor to the GPU, and then to the individual heat sink. Unfortunately, this can cause a failure when the processor and GPU restrictions are applied to the machine. When we get away from this, we are excited to see two RAM DIMMs, which can store up to 32 GB of memory. Below is the 42Wh battery that, as you can see in the next photo, could have been lying slightly to the left to give it more juice. Moving to the left, we are greeted by the storage compartment. We love the way this device is modulated from the inside. From the brain to the heart, then to storage. There is an M.2 NVMe slot and a SATA slot for 2.5-inch devices.
Dell Inspiron 15 7580 features a Full HD IPS panel, Innolux N156HCA-EAA model number (CMN15E5). Its diagonal is 39.62 cm (15.6 ") and its resolution is 1920 x 1080. In addition, the aspect ratio of the screen is 16: 9, the pixel density is 142 ppi and its spacing is 0.18 x 0.18 mm The screen can be considered a retina when you see at least 60 cm (from this distance, the average human eye can not see the individual pixels) The viewing angles are excellent We offer images from different The maximum brightness measured is 237 nits (cd / m2) in the center of the screen and 220 nits (cd / m2) on the surface with a maximum difference of 13% .The correlated color temperature on a white screen with maximum brightness of 6400 K (average), slightly higher than the optimal temperature of 6500 K for sRGB mode.The average color temperature in the gray scale before profiling is 6370 K. In the following illustration, you can see how the screen from the point of view of uniformity The following illustration shows the importance of the operational brightness (approximately 140 nits): in this particular case, with a brightness of 58% (white level = 144 cd / m2, black level = 0.10 cd / m2)). DE2000 values higher than 4.0 should not appear, and this setting is one of the first to check if you intend to use the notebook for color sensitive jobs (maximum tolerance 2.0). The contrast ratio is impressive – 1450: 1.

Q: Facebook permission request crashes iOS app We need a user like it, I added them to FacebookAuthManager (my custom class), and all new users will see the request for this permission. But we also have current users, so I wrote a class that verifies that the user was registered with Facebook and requested permission. I'm faced with the fact that I get the app crash and get this error "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Read permissions are not permitted to be requested with publish or manage permissions.". I indicated in the comments in which sequence I call the functions. How can I fix this?
class FacebookPermissionManager {

    /// Request new permission if user's provider is Facebook
    // first
    open func requestNewPersmission(_ permission: FacebookInfo.Permession, completion: ((_ isGranted: Bool, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?) {
        DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
            guard let currentUser = Auth.auth().currentUser else { return }

            let facebookProvider = "facebook.com"

            var isFacebookProvider = false

            for providerInfo in currentUser.providerData {
                if facebookProvider == providerInfo.providerID {
                    isFacebookProvider = true
                    break
                }
            }
            guard isFacebookProvider else {
                completion?(false, nil)
                return
            }
            guard !self.checkGrant(permission) else {
                debugPrint("checkGrant == true")
                completion?(true, nil)
                return
            }
            debugPrint("isFacebookProvider", isFacebookProvider)
            self.requestPermission(permission, completion: completion)
        }
    }

    // the third
    open func requestPermission(_ permission: FacebookInfo.Permession, completion: ((_ isGranted: Bool, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            guard let topVC = UIApplication.topViewController() else { return }
            let loginManager = FBSDKLoginManager()
            loginManager.logIn(withPublishPermissions: [permission.rawValue], from: topVC, handler: { (result, error) in
                if let _error = error {
                    let file = #file
                    let funcName = #function
                    BugfenderManager.reportError(funcName, fileName: file, error: _error)
                    completion?(false, _error)
                    return
                }
                guard let _result = result else {
                    completion?(false, nil)
                    return
                }
                if _result.grantedPermissions.contains(permission.rawValue)  {
                    completion?(true, nil)
                } else if _result.declinedPermissions.contains(permission.rawValue) {
                    // TODO: do not request permissions again immediately. Consider providing a NUX
                    // describing  why the app want this permission.
                    completion?(false, nil)
                }
            })
        }
    }

    // the second
    private func checkGrant(_ permission: FacebookInfo.Permession) -> Bool {
        guard let accessToken = FBSDKAccessToken.current() else { return false }
        return accessToken.hasGranted(permission.rawValue)
    }

}

A: I fixed it.I changed loginManager.logIn(withPublishPermissions:) to loginManager.logIn(withPublishPermissions:)
