WHAT DOES "HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE WITH ETHERNET" MEAN?
HDMI Ethernet Channel - Adds high-speed networking to the HDMI Cable, allowing users to take full advantage of their IP-enabled devices without a separate Ethernet cable.
Audio Return Channel - Allows a HDMI-connected TV with a built-in tuner to send audio data "upstream" to a surround audio system via the HDMI Cable, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable.
4K x 2K (2160p) Video Support - Enables video resolutions far beyond 1080p, supporting next-generation displays that will rival the Digital Cinema systems used in many commercial movie theatres.
YOUR DATA TRANSFER RATE IS 10.2GBPS. OTHER SELLERS HAVE HIGHER TRANSFER RATES?
Put simply sellers that claim to have higher transfer rates are making false claims. 10.2GBPS is the highest data transfer rate currently possible. You can see this for yourself by checking the following Wikipedia page on HDMI Cables http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison.
We have 1-20m lengths of HDMI Cable available. Just click on HDMI CABLE on our navigation panel to the left.


Riiiiipppp. The dreaded sound we all hear when opening our electricity bills. It's not so much about what's in the envelope that we dread, it's more worry about how high the number at the bottom of the electricity bill will be. Not to mention trying to decipher the electricity bill can feel like you need a masters degree.
We all use energy. From keeping our houses cool or warm, cooking and preserving our food, cleaning our clothes and to keeping our lights on. It's something we use without a second thought. But when bill time comes, it's then that we reflect…did I use the air conditioner too much? Could I have hung the washing on the line instead of using the dryer? Most of us don't like the thought of changing our habits or wheeling and dealing with power companies to save on our electricity bills.
But here's the thing - everytime you open an electricity bill, you don't have to go through the rollercoaster of emotions that usually comes with it. There is an easier way to keep track and manage your electricity bills, and it's called Reposit.
More than a home energy monitor, a Reposit Box is an entire home energy management system.
So why not let a Reposit Power home energy management system do all the hard thinking and saving for you?
The Reposit Box home energy management system learns when and how your household uses electricity – and haggles with the electricity companies to sell any excess energy in your battery for the highest possible price. It means you can stop worrying about how to save electricity at home.
Once installed, Reposit starts to learn how and when your household uses energy.
Household usage - this is the total energy used by your house and includes energy from the grid, solar and your battery (if you have one).
Using all of this information we can predict when you are likely to use energy and when your solar panels and solar battery are producing or storing energy.
But Reposit Power does more than just monitor your home energy usage – it manages your home energy usage and works out how to save energy when it matters most.
In fact, Reposit Power can automatically switch on your power-hungry appliances - like your dishwasher, washing machine or even your pool pump - when your solar panels are generating excess energy to make sure you're getting the best value from your solar and battery setup.
When your solar panels are generating more electricity than your household is using, this is spare 'cheap' energy.
For solar owners, this means if you're not home to use the excess energy, it's fed into the electricity grid for someone else to use.
For solar battery owners, this means your battery is full and you're feeding it back to the grid.
Every time you have cheap energy available Reposit can automatically turn on your dishwasher, washing machine or even your pool pump, so you're not wasting your solar power and making sure you're getting the best value from your solar and battery setup.
To take advantage of this cheap energy you need to have smart home technology such as smart plugs at your home. Learn more about how Reposit works with smart home technology.
From morning to night, you can see your household's energy usage (and cost!) in real-time at any time on your computer, tablet or smartphone. Learn more about Reposit's app.
Reposit does all the hard work for you and squeezes extra value from your solar and battery setup.
Don't get nervous next time you're opening your electricity bill. Know exactly how much you're paying and when.

uScope Navigator (Deep Zoom): Saving Deep Zoom Pyramid Images as PNG Files :: Microscopes Intl.
I have selected the PNG Image File Format in the Program Options—Application Preferences but the Deep Zoom image tiles are still saved as JPG files. How can I cause the Deep Zoom images to be saved as PNG (lossless) images?
This is by design in the uScope Navigator v4.3 application. The Image File Format option only affects the file format of the scanned image fields. When the Deep Zoom image is created, the field images are stitched and overlayed. Then, the Deep Zoom bottom layer tiles are cut from the composite, stitched image and saved as JPG files.
Unfortunately, there is no way to output PNG files for the Deep Zoom tiles in uScope Navigator v4.3. This feature will be added in a future release.


Man, you are a reasonable guy. I might even say I like your hustle.
The only thing I don't like about you is that you play safe too much. I mean, you don't like spending money even on the most essential things.
For example, I remember last year we were to go to Uganda for a business venture. That trip just disappeared into thin air.
How about back in February when we were to buy Timberland boots? You still have you worn out sports shoes.
I know you love your one-year old and wife and would like to make the secure financially. But for the love of life, please don't be stingy.
One thing I've never told you is that your breathe stinks. I dread every time we go for lunch because you make eating food painful. The breathe really stinks.
I don't know if the breathe stinks because you don't brush your teeth or perhaps you have an infection. But man, your breathe stinks.
And today, I am vowing not to go to lunch with you again. I mean, I'm supposed to enjoy my food. Not sit through 30 minutes of food and stinking breathe.
And here ends my rant. Hope you get to read it and know I was talking about you. Yes, you.

Mt. Makiling has always been one of my dream climbs, I'm not sure why I waited this long to climb it. It features prominently every time I go south of Manila - whether to Laguna, Batangas or Quezon, this mountain always seems to loom large and foreboding. Perhaps the tales of Mariang Makiling and the stories of lost wanderers in the mountain or maybe because of the infamous tales of hikers on how limatik-infested this mountain is might be what had made me procrastinate for so long before finally deciding to hike this majestic mountain. As the year draws to a close, this will perhaps be my last hike for this year.
A drizzling Sunday morning together with some friends from the office, we found ourselves at the gates of the DENR registration site in Sitio Wawa, Rodriguez, Rizal. We have previously planned a dayhike of Mt. Binacayan and a side trip to Wawa Dam after the hike. However it seems like the weather has a different plan for us - the rains had left the mountain trail muddy with perilous, slippery jagged rocks, at the same time had muddied the clear waters of Wawa River. So after careful consideration, we decided to hike the trails of the neighboring Mt. Parawagan.
Located just around 21 kilometers away from Mt. Mariveles, Mt. Natib is another great dayhike destination within the province of Bataan. Like Mt. Mariveles, Mt. Natib is also a dormant but potentially active volcano with an extensively weathered crater forming a caldera complex. Located in the northern portion of the Bataan Peninsula, the usual jump-off is at Brgy. Tala in Orani, Bataan, although hikers can also approach the summit from Sitio Kanawan in Morong, Bataan. Rising to about 1,287+ MASL, Mt. Natib can be safely and comfortably dayhiked from Orani, Bataan, usually taking around 4-5 hours to reach the summit.
More than a month after my last hike and just a week after the Skechers half marathon run, I was finally able to hike again. A slight reprieve from the torrential rains brought about by tropical storm Karding (international name Yagi) and the southwest monsoon allowed me a small window of opportunity to finally quench my thirst for hiking. Mt. Kalbo, located in the same area as the Laiban Quatro trail and the Multi-tiered Laiban Falls in Brgy. Laiban, Tanay, Rizal offers a great opportunity to experience a multi-peak hike with a side trip to a waterfall, all in a relatively short and easy trail close to the cities of the Metro.
The mountains of Rizal are a welcome respite to us hikers living in the Metro. With such wonderful destinations right at the doorstep of the city, hikers are treated to a variety of options to choose from. Rodriguez, Rizal (formerly Montalban) is one of such places. From mainstream hiking trails like the famous twin mountains of Mt. Pamitinan and Mt. Binacayan, the more challenging Mt. Hapunang Banoi, the rocky and craggy Mt. Lagyo and the stately Mt. Ayaas to the less-crowded trails of Mt. Oro, Mt. Sipit Ulang and the distant Mt. Rayak, Mt. Magloko and Mt. Kapananan, the possibilities are numerous and varied.
Perhaps one of the easiest and most picturesque minor climbs near Baguio City, Mt. Ulap has risen to prominence among hikers since the trails were opened back in 2015. With such refreshing views of the high mountains and crisp, fresh mountain air saturated with fresh pine scent, the trails of Mt. Ulap are wonderfully invigorating. Although usually just dayhiked (which I did last October) due to its relatively short and easy trail, overnight camping at Mt. Ulap offers a great opportunity to experience the frigid nights and amazing sunrises the Cordilleras are known for.
Arguably the most famous of all of Mt. Mariveles' peaks and ridges, Tarak Peak and Tarak Ridge collectively is a perfect hiking destination for a major hike that can be safely and comfortably completed within a day. Located in the western flank of the Mt. Mariveles' caldera, Tarak ridge and peak offer panoramic views of Manila Bay and its islands as well as the distant mountains of Cavite. The wind-swept ridge and peak also have several picturesque and rocky crags and outcrops perfect for snapping those postcard-perfect pictures. Ideally hiked on a 2-day itinerary, a dayhike is also very much possible for this hiking destination, the hike taking around 10 hours to complete from start to end. As such, it is a perfect destination for introducing a novice hiker to a major hike.

Black Curse Creative has a bit of a weird history. The name comes from a band of mine when I was in Ohio. We jammed, wrote some sweet tunes and then kind of split up once I moved. The drummer and bass player also had a kid which made it hard to set some time aside for practicing. I had always liked the name though and as Nancy and I started working together in Chicago we needed a quick name to slap on a project one night and Black Curse Creative was born. That was about two or three years ago and I finally decided that the logo and branding was in need of an update to better reflect us as people and our work.


How kids content is being shaped by new platforms and social media moves.
In 1999, when Shigetaka Kurita designed the first emoji for a Japanese mobile platform, he likely never imagined the cultural weight that the modest designs would eventually carry. But when the whole world has a phone in its pocket, and text messaging is the single-most prevalent form of communication, it follows that a brand-new universal shorthand would emerge. Soon, in every corner of the globe, little yellow emotion-laden nuggets were being harvested in the digital gold rush. It was then only a matter of time until another creator came along and harnessed the power of the ubiquitous symbols for a would-be animated blockbuster.
The Emoji Movie is perhaps the most striking example of platforms themselves inspiring new content, but others are on the same path. In the past, the production community viewed new digital platforms through the lens of distribution. Now, platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook—and the social media trends they inspire—have begun fundamentally altering productions and IPs themselves. It is a giant feedback loop, and only the swiftest and most savvy creators will be able to exploit it.
Montreal, Canada-based Echo Media, for example, hatched a new IP from a mere Twitter hashtag. Babyatrice started as tweets authored by Quebec comedian Guy A. Lepage that described the cute, funny things his young daughter said. Producers married the tweets with illustrations from artist Eric Godin and developed it into a TV show. The half-hour animated series is currently in production with Radio-Canada and is expected to be ready for distribution in 2018.
Paul Hembury, director of entertainment talent at BBC Worldwide, is also endeavoring to take a successful idea from social media into more traditional channels. After discovering teenaged pop sensations Max and Harvey, who made their name on the music platform Musical.ly, BBCW decided to put the duo on the small screen. It's now compiling footage from their world tour for an upcoming two-part CBBC documentary—Max and Harvey (in a Show)—slated for wider distribution this fall.
Hembury says there was a learning curve when he first started surveying new platforms for ideas. "It piqued my interest when I saw the success that so many book publishers were having with a young online audience," he says. "I thought it was counter-intuitive." Hembury says he soon learned that the core of popular music properties was the same as it always has been—a rabid fandom. The passionate relationship between singer and audience that has elicited frantic screams for The Beatles through One Direction is still the driving force behind teen music IPs, no matter the platform.
Finland-based Gigglebug Entertainment followed a similar path transforming an app into a successful property. "In 2013, we came up with an idea to make an app that would feature a cartoon character that you could tickle on an iPad, and the character would start to giggle," explains Anttu Harlin, CEO and producer at the company. "It did well and we started writing stories for these new characters." Fast-forward five years and Gigglebug has spawned three different apps and a 62 x five-minute animated series currently airing in 13 European countries that was recently picked up by Channel 5 in the UK.
The GIFs popularity spread like wildfire, and with 36 million views and counting, the company decided it was ready to take the next step. "I thought, 'Let's get a story going here, this is really something,'" says Harlin. Gigglebug is now in production on a new animated series for nine- to 12-year-olds based on the GIFTEEN property. It is expected to bow on Facebook's new Watch platform next year.
It would be impossible to separate Babyatrice, The Emoji Movie, Max and Harvey or GIFTEEN from the platforms that spawned them. It's only half the story, though. A deep dive reveals that the trends flourishing on these same platforms are now also being integrated into the content.
But determining whether or not a trend is worth pursuing is a difficult task for anyone, and perhaps doubly so for animation producers.
Echo Media's Chatelain looks at trends in a similarly analytical way. She says that the only way to navigate the space is to "live in the trend." Chatelain prefers to examine a trend and see what is truly driving it. She explains that the Ice Bucket Challenge, first popularized in June 2014 as a fundraising tool for the ALS Society, was a learning process for her as she discovered what propelled it.
Chatelain says that learning to evaluate and understand the mechanisms behind trends has enabled her to better leverage their key elements for productions like Babyatrice.
Other creatives see the trends facilitated by social media in a slightly different light. For Chris Garbutt and Rikke Asbjoern, creators of upcoming Nickelodeon series Pinky Malinky, social media and its crazes are considered add-ons that give their fictional universe a bit of relatable spice. "We consider it like a garnish," says Garbutt, an appropriate metaphor for the creator of a series that follows the adventures of a school-aged hotdog boy.
"We do get inspired by different things we see online, but we have to ask ourselves, 'How do we apply that to the story and the character?'" says Asbjoern.
When the creators attempt to capture a little of the lightning in a bottle from a social media trend, they have to be careful that the references don't become dated before the series even airs.
The acceleration of a trend's lifespan offers its own unique set of challenges for producers who both mine new platforms for content and draw upon social media trends. Foremost is the increasing demand it puts on production timelines. With content being consumed at an ever-quicker rate, some producers are feeling the pressure to accelerate the production process to keep up.
The Emoji Movie is an obvious example of this phenomenon. "It was so fast," says its director Leondis, describing the production process for the film. "We went from pitch to actually having the movie on screens in two years." He adds that studio executives initially wanted the movie in theaters one year from the pitch—a mammoth undertaking compared to the three-to-five year gestation period given to films of similar scope and budget.
Some in the production industry are resisting the impulse to accelerate timelines." It is correct to say that everyone wants things done faster and faster now," says Claus Tømming, managing partner of Copenhagen, Denmark-based Ink Global Media, co-producer of animated series Zafari.
The existence of short timelines is also a consideration for Finland's Gigglebug Entertainment.
Many producers say that the best way to navigate the fast-forward world of social media platforms and trends is being able to quickly sense changes in the digital environment and consumption patterns. Being agile is paramount.
"We train our team to be aware about what is going on across so many different platforms now," says Laurent Guérin, VP and chief content and digital officer at Toronto, Canada-based TFO Media Group. He echoes other producers who say it isn't just trend-spotting that informs new properties, but rather understanding the underlying attributes of a trend.
TFO is currently readying MaXi with partner Frima Studio in Quebec City, Canada. The concept bows this month as an app and focuses on a narrative about 10-year-old siblings living in a world made from musical instruments. The innovative aspects of the property include adapting content through a real-time feedback loop.

Dam Near Done
The Newport Avenue dam is going away; it's just a matter of when
By James Williams
The Newport Avenue dam is at the end of its life cycle. Everyone knows it—even PacifiCorp, the utility company that owns the 102-year-old dam, which creates the pond at Drake Park near downtown Bend.
What many don't know, however, is that the dam cannot remain if it ceases to function as a hydroelectric facility. Those are the rules: According to water-right certificate No. 29581, Pacific Power & Light Co. (now PacifiCorp, which owns Pacific Power) has the right only to use the water for power generation and ice and debris removal. There's no built-in right for storing water.
So, the idea that PacifiCorp can simply retire the crumbling dam from service as a power-generating tool, but leave the structure in place to retain a pond, is a thought that should no longer be considered.
"By no means could it stay there just to keep Mirror Pond," said Deschutes Basin Watermaster Jeremy Giffin, who also put to rest talk of transferring those water rights for recreational purposes. All of the water rights on the Upper Deschutes River, said Giffin, have already been allocated.
PacifiCorp officials hope, however, the case isn't as cut and dried as it seems. Company spokesman Bob Gravely said, although, "it's not really an issue we've looked at closely," he's optimistic a solution could be found that would allow the dam to remain in place.

We depend on your support to help fund our coverage. Support local, independent media with a small monthly or one time contribution. Thank you!
But the water-right news puts PacifiCorp in a tight spot. Company representatives have admitted that, from a hydroelectric standpoint, the dam provides negligible electricity. According to company stats, the dam only generates enough power for 300 to 400 homes. Angela Price, PafiCorp rep and Mirror Pond Steering Committee member, recently called the structure "a small asset."
Moreover, altering the Newport Avenue dam is also an unlikely course. Adding fish ladders and other such necessary updates or repairs would be expensive and would trigger action from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. FERC licensing would be a costly route that could take years to navigate—an unappealing scenario for PacifiCorp.
Jim Figurski, the project manager who's been hired by the city and Bend Park & Recreation District to find a fix for a pond that is clogging with silt, has already thought about all this.
"My understanding is that the water right is solely associated with the generation of power," said Figurski, echoing Watermaster Jeremy Giffin's words. Figurski added that, while he can't speak for the city, he thought a handoff or sale of the dam from PacifiCorp to the city highly unlikely.
To account for this, Figurski, who also sits on the Mirror Pond Steering Committee, the decision-making body overseeing the project, said at least three of the four possible solutions being drafted by his consultant team will include a Deschutes River with no dam in place at Newport Avenue. Figurski expects to have four designs, ones created by Portland's Greenworks, a landscape architecture and environmental design firm, ready for public viewing and input by early June.
Fellow Steering Committee member Ryan Houston, Upper Deschutes Water Council executive director, is enthusiastic about Figurski's approach but wants to make one thing clear: "Whether you want a pond or not is irrelevant—that dam is old," Houston said. "The writing is on the wall."
Going forward, Houston said he hopes the community can understand that the issues swirling about the silt-filled pond aren't either/or.
"It's either going to benefit recreationalists or homeowners; water quality versus not—when I hear someone playing these things off of each other as if they're-black and-white solutions, I say 'no,' " Houston said. "They're false choices."
Some would like to see the pond stay, no matter the cost, as they see it as an iconic Bend fixture. Other residents, who value the river's health, would rather see the Deschutes return to a more natural state. River enthusiasts hope the solution allows for more recreating on the river. Others still ask that the area around Drake Park remain aesthetically pleasing.
The solution, Houston said, should be clever enough so that it pleases environmentalists, neighbors and recreationalists alike.
Figurski agrees, and said he's trying to help his design team think outside of the box.
"The potential to retain pond-like characteristics," Figurski said, is there, even without a dam.
But, at this point, one eventuality is clear—the dam's days are numbered. SW

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish will have season-ending, elbow ligament- replacement surgery next week.
Texas said Friday that Dr. James Andrews will operate on Tuesday in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
The 28-year-old right-hander made his decision after Andrews reviewed images of his right elbow. Two other doctors recommended Tommy John surgery, which likely will sideline Darvish until early next season.
An MRI last week revealed partially torn ligaments and inflammation after Darvish felt tightness in his triceps while warming up for his spring training debut. He threw 10 of 12 pitches for strikes in his only inning before telling anyone about the discomfort.

For those who have been on campus this semester, you may have noticed a number of roughly half-inch-tall colored clay figurines hidden in odd places. Some might be found on a bookshelf, others on top of a picture frame, and some even dangling from doorways. These are the mysterious works of an artistic vigilante of sorts; like a crochet bomber or a Banksy impersonator. The Echo has learned the identity of the artist (we will refer to him by his psudonym "Creature Man" for the rest of this article) and talked with him recently about his process, inspiration and reason for creating his small figurines.
As for what they're made of, Creature Man explains that he uses a plastic polymer called Sculpey Clay. He says, "I like it because it's soft, not very sticky, comes in many colors that can easily be mixed, and bakes hard in the oven at temperatures low enough not to damage any wood, string, paper, etc. that I might want to incorporate into the piece." His process, he explains, is largely improvisational. Instead of coming up with a clear plan and sticking to it, he develops each figure as he goes. For those who have been lucky enough to come across his creations, you will recognize the quirky, mutant-like forms, and their varied physical attributes. "I set out trying to make each one as different from the others as possible. I incorporated strings and magnets into a few of them so that I could place them in even more unexpected places," he said.
Creature Man didn't reveal any big plans for the future, but we can at least hope to continue to discover his small, colorful contributions to campus.

Heavy duty, powder-coated steel mesh panel with a combination of hooks, shelves and racks. Simply fix the panel to the wall and then just slot the hooks into the preferred grooves.
Showing our 3 Garden Wire Mesh Rack Kit reviews with an average rating of Excellent.
Much more sturdy grade mesh than I was expecting, though also quite heavy. We upgraded to Rawl Bolts to secure them to the wall. Easily handled some petrol tools once mounted.
The hook selection is very easily fitted and moved around you can use cable ties through a hole in the top if you want them to remain in a particular square.
You could mount them on blocks if you wanted to add regular S hooks.
This is a good quality product, sturdy and practical. It was easy to attach to the wall though we realise the fixings should have been attached to the vertical rather than the horizontal wires to give more space for the attachments. Unfortunately we have many more items to hang on the rack than are illustrated on the webpage so it will require a good deal of fiddling with the hooks and some extras already ordered. The reason for giving only three stars for delivery is the enormous cost which was added to the order for delivery.
Great it keeps everything tidy, all its its place...just as things should be. The garden mesh tidier is excellent. Easy to put together...well well worth the dosh!

Almost all people love to enjoy barbeque especially if it is enjoyed with lots of friends or family. It also can be the idea to enjoy the time with them so that we can get the yummy foods while having some chats and perhaps music. It is the simple activity for fun as well.
Enjoying a bbq party is one of the good ideas you can do for enjoying the time with your family or friends. When you are enjoying your time with your family or friend, it is such a good idea to also enjoy the barbeque party. It is really easy to prepare. You do not need any complicated preparation.
What you need to prepare are the barbeque equipment or stuff. If you want to enjoy the charcoal barbeque, it means you have to prepare the charcoal besides the foods which you want to grill. Sure, using charcoal will help you getting the special smell and taste of the grilled foods. It will be different from the barbeque without using charcoal. That is the reason why there are so many people who prefer to choose using charcoal than not to use it for the barbeque.
There are various types of foods which you can choose for the menu of the barbeque. Some of the common options are such like fishes, meats, sausages, and some vegetables. However, there are also some other unique types of the ingredients which you can choose for your barbeque party menu. That is including coconut barbeque which is really unique and you can have it a try at home. Sure, actually there are various ideas you can find out there. That is including trying to make satay as one of the typical bbq Indonesia which is really simple but offers the drooling smell and taste.
Although it is basically still the same barbeque, BBQ Indonesia tends to have different taste and aroma. With typical Asian foods, this BBQ tastes stronger. Of course, it is because the spices used are more as well. Just compare it to the western barbeque that may only need salt and pepper. So, are you interested to make it? Here they are.
Surely, you need meat as usual. The way to treat the meat is also basically the same in which you must slice it into some parts. Make sure that the meat is not too thin or too thick. Not only is it to avoid the meat being more easily overcooked, the thickness highly influences the spices to absorb.
Meanwhile, for the ingredients, you have to prepare many things. Well, salt and pepper must be there. But then, there must also be sugar, soy sauce, sugar, and pulverized onion. There are blended at once. For cooking, you also must prepare more vegetable oil and butter.
Before the meat slices are put on the roaster, they should be smear by the oil and butter at first. it is okay to soak the meat into the spice since the beginning. However, the results will be better when they are soaked in half-cooked conditions. This process must be done several times until you are sure that the meat slices have been cooked well. In other words, you can leave the cooking area even for a while. You can also try to apply traditional ways like charcoal barbeque using the same spices.
For the rest, it is not different from western barbecue in which you need to use medium heat and others. Just after the BBQ Indonesia is cooked well, you must wait for some minutes to make sure that it is really soft and tender. This kind of BBQ actually doesn't need sauce since it is already spicy enough. But if you want, tomato sauce is enough. Serve it together with coconut barbeque.
Barbequing with family and friends is indeed interesting. Of course, it should not be about the moment. It is better if the BBQ made is also delicious. One of the keys how BBQ can be really tasty is regarding the sauce. So, how is it to make the best barbeque sauce? Here they are.
The things you must prepare are as follows; vegetable or olive oil, chopped onions, chopped red pepper, tomato sauce, palm sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, and beef broth. Meanwhile, for the tools and equipments, you only need a pan. If you want the sauce tastes sweeter, you can add more sugar and soy sauce. Meanwhile, for hotter sauce, add chili pepper or pepper powder. Of course, it is based on your taste anyway. On the other hand, the spices should be minimize for BBQ Indonesia or coconut barbeque.
First, heat up around 3 tablespoon of olive or vegetable oil and then pour the chopped onions and red peppers. Stir them well until they look withered but not too overcooked. Second, pour other ingredients and stir them. For the best result, make sure to cook them on the medium heat. Don't be too high since it makes the ingredients may be bitter later.
Third, turn off the stove and put the ingredients on the bowl or directly to the blender. Blend them until it is really smooth. If you want the sauce is coarser, you can also pulverize it manually using a small grinder. Try to taste the sauce whether it is already fit your taste or not. If there is still something less, add some more spices like salt, pepper powder or sugar. The BBQ sauce is ready to serve.
Smear the sauce on the barbeque that is still fresh from the roaster. Let it rest for a while and then serve the BBQ. Mainly BBQ Charcoal, make sure to prepare another set of sauce of the bowl for them who prefer eating this menu separately.
Here is a common problem faced by many common people while making home barbeque. It is that the cooked met cannot be soft, tender, and juicy. Particularly for the beef, it is then suggested to bake it in some more minutes to make it really juicy in the middle. Unfortunately, it is not without any side effect. Well, the outer part can just be simply overcooked. So, what should we do to solve this problem?
When slicing the meat for BBQ, make sure that it is not too thin or too thick. Both tend to give a problem for your meat whether it is overcooked or still raw in the middle. So, you should slice in medium thickness for around 4 cm. Besides, if you are not experienced enough, the meat should also not too wide. Divide a big meat into many slices is even better for juicier results particularly for BBQ Charcoal.
It is actually all about the taste actually. However, barbeque tastes better when it only applies simple spices. Salt and pepper are enough. But if you want the pan-seared barbeque, you can add butter and thyme. This is not only to make the original taste will come out more. Such spices are able to make the meat softer in faster ways. Therefore, overcooked matter can just be prevented. It is for the exception if you want to make coconut barbeque or BBQ Indonesia.
Hot barbeque is indeed really tempting. However, the meat sometimes still remains hard to bite. The taste from the spices is also still not spreading entirely. The best way of serving barbeque is actually by letting rest it for a while before plating. It is mainly to let it tenderer as well as more delicious. You don't need to wait it until it is cold. Around 5-10 minutes are enough for the best barbeque.
If you want to spend time with your family, then you can make bbq Indonesia without the expensive cost. This is very easy. Here are tips for you.
You should know that a barbeque definitely needs a grill. You should choose a high-quality grill as this is your investment in the future. You should not be tempted by cheap grills but the grill is not durable.
The grill will be damaged in just a few years. You need to find a well-known and trusted the brand to get a long-lasting grill. This is the best way to use your budget. You should buy a grill with a large capacity to make charcoal barbeque. You can imagine enough room to put corn and spinach.
Do not forget to look for a strong construction because you definitely do not want to see the grill will be stuck and upside down. The famous chef selects a classic grill that can accomplish all the work. You can go to a store that gives promotions on weekends to see great products.
If you love to have a coconut barbeque, then you have to take care and clean your grill. You have to remember that this is your investment. Do not forget to remove the ashes when it is cold. If you take care of the grill, then the grill will be durable. Do not forget to smear the oil before you bake the meat so the meat does not stick on the grill.
Coconut husk leaves a lot of dirt and you have to clean the grill. Do not let the dirt become crust because you will find it difficult to clean the grill. You do not need to buy a complicated grill as this will make it difficult for you to clean the grill.
The toaster is your main investment. You can use the grill for several years but you must remember to take care of the grill properly. That's the simple step to choose, clean and care for bbq grill.
Bbq Indonesia can be done alone at home. You can invite your family and friends. Here are tips for holding the event.
You do not need to drain your pockets by grilling fish, chicken, and steak. You can skip the big meat to save your money. You just need your thighs and chicken breasts. You do not have to buy expensive steaks. The meat has a delicious aroma and the price of meat is also cheap. Do not buy expensive catches. You can serve delicious dishes like bluefish and mackerel.
If you really want to barbeque with the old style, then you can try the standard used in general. You can grill bratwurst, hot dogs, burgers, and chicken. You can add simple spices to enhance the taste of your food.
There are many classic recipes used to bake meat in charcoal barbeque. The minced slices will blend perfectly with the delicious sauce inside the burger. You can create a hot dog with meat separated by cheese in the middle. The bread can be wrapped in bacon. You can boil the meat in a seasoning overnight to allow it to seep into the meat.
You must calculate the portion that corresponds to the number of guests of your invitation. Do not leave any leftovers in the refrigerator. If you use coconut barbeque, then baking meat becomes practical because you do not need to turn the fire off. Coconut husk will light up after you roast the meat. This will save you money to buy fuel.
If you want to heat the meat again, then you can wrap the meat using foil and you can heat the meat for 5 minutes. If you have to leave the rest of the food, then you do not need to remove the rest of the food. You can do a simple rarity. You can put the leftovers in a slow cooker and add bbq sauce.
Barbeque becomes the perfect moment to enjoy a holiday. You can plan this party with your family.
The meat definitely needs a delicious sauce. You do not have to go to the store and buy a dip in the market. You can make the sauce in your own home. You just need the spices put into the bowl. You need a large bowl to dip meat, vegetables, and sausage into the sauce.
You can mix the tomato sauce into the bowl. You can prepare other materials used for bbq. If you have never made a sauce, then you can find recipes from the internet and paste the recipe in the refrigerator. This will be your guide to make a delicious sauce.
Usually, people throw away fuel when partying and roasting meat. You should not use too much char because it will make you wasteful. The charcoal barbeque is a way of grilling meat using charcoal. You can use brisket to cook pork. You only need to use a big fire for five minutes. The food will touch your grill and let the meat slowly.
You can also use propane but you should immediately turn off the fire after grilling. Another option is the coconut barbeque. You can use coconut husk to bake the fire. Usually, coconut husk can be found in traditional markets. You can also find coconut fiber briquettes sold in supermarkets.
If you want to get your favorite piece of meat, then you should be friendly with the butcher in the supermarket. Butcher will give you a piece of meat at a good price. Maybe you will get a high price elsewhere when you do not know the butcher.
You also will not know that the usual pieces of meat have a delicious flavor. The lamb neck has a delicious flavor but this meat has a cheaper price compared to the meat on display in front. That is a brief explanation when you want to hold bbq Indonesia.
Not many understand what it feels like to eat barbecued stuffs in a barbeque event or two. People have tasted many things with barbecue flavor on them, but rarely have they ever tasted the succulent ambrosia that is a real meat barbecued on top of your traditional charcoal barbeque grill. Yes, my friend, if you head over to any BBQ event, you will surely find food that will beat the snap out your bottled barbecue sauce. If you have eaten a meat cooked in any barbecue way, its flavor will haunt you in the most desperate of times.
That is, unless you are a vegetarian or a vegan, in which I do not know why you would read an article on barbecues. This is an anti-vegan zone, my friend, and if you see yourself as one, then I suggest you leave before you get converted into the meat-eater flock. If you are a vegan, reading this article will be a sin on itself.
If you see yourself as a proud devourer of flesh, then by all means continue reading this brief history on barbecue, which I hope will be something that can enlighten you flesh eaters surrounding this heavenly meat manna.
Before we begin talking about barbecue and its variants, we need to know first about why barbecue is called a barbecue. Not many knows it, but the word barbecue (or barbeque, both are right) comes from the Spanish lexicon. The word in question is barbacoa, which kind of resembles barbecue for a bit. Barbacoa itself comes from barabicu which is some sort of Caribbean. I do not know why barabicu turned into barbacoa, but I think it comes from the Spanish's inability to let the native's culture and language stay that way.
In a barbecuing event, the only thing that you cannot barbecue is your imagination. Everything works great when it touches the barbecue grill. Many people have barbecued things like pineapple and some thought that a coconut barbeque is a good food. I do believe that when it comes to taste, people should have the freedom of deciding whether it is a tasty food or not. Especially when it comes to barbeque.
Barbecue is a very popular event all over the world, and many countries got their own names for an event where barbecues are concerned. Some countries, however, have not got their barbecue game on. Countries like Indonesia sure got its own BBQ Indonesia crowd, but they are not that popular because a barbecue event is somewhat expensive to hold. Barbeque is a luxury that not many Indonesians can afford, hence its lack of presence in the maritime country.
Barbecue is always there when there is a celebration or party to celebrate special moments. But there are various kinds of barbeques, two of them are charcoal grilled bbq and gas grilled bbq. Those two kinds of barbecues are grilled in two different grill. Which one is the best grill?
Charcoal grill is a grill which the heat source comes from charcoals. It takes a while to grill barbeques using this kind of grill, because the hot temperature produced is not high, and the ingredients being grilled do not directly touch with the heat source. But this slowly cooking technique will make the grilled ingredients become softer and more moist. Moreover, the grill results have the typical smell of charcoal barbecue smokes.
There are various types and sizes of charcoal grills. The price is also pretty affordable. For the treatment, make sure you clean it after you used it. So that there is not traces of remaining foods stick in the grill.
Gas grill is a grill which the heat source is from gas combustion. Different from charcoal grill, with this kind of grill you need relatively short time to get the ingredients cooked. It is because you are able to adjust the heat temperature.
The processed food results of this kind of grill also have its own characteristics. The high heat temperature and direct contact between the food ingredients with heat sources make the process of caramelization. You are able to see it from the brownish appearance in the surface of grilled meats. Moreover, the grilled food ingredients will be more juicy.
Gas grill tends to be easier to be used and cleaned. If you do not really like extensive smokes, this kind of grill is suitable for you because the smokes produced is just little when you make barbeque.
Almost all people ever held a BBQ party every year. This party is also held for some Indonesians. The Indonesians surely have different menus to serve in the party. You can look at some delicious menus served in BBQ Indonesia.
Beef becomes the most favorite ingredient cooked for BBQ dish in most of countries. However, in Indonesia, there are some different menus for BBQ party. Chicken becomes a choice cooked for BBQ party. The slice of chicken with yellow seasoning is baked with the remaining seasoning and soy sauce. To differentiate the taste, some people cook it to be baked chicken and honey chicken.
For the next menu of BBQ Indonesia, you can take beef. Most of the people choose to cook beef to be satay. In addition, there are some people selecting to make patty burger grilled on the charcoal. To add some food variants, sausage often includes to be the food ingredient list for BBQ party in the new year eve.
Fish becomes the most popular bbq menu in Indonesia. The most favorite fishes to bake are carp and pomfret. The gurameh fish have a medium size so that it is easy to bake. The most favorite seasoning is cooked with soy sauce. It tastes so sweet, salty, and delicious when you cook with this seasoning recipe.
Shrimp and squid become a favorite menu when you hold a bbq party in Indonesia. Choose medium size shrimp and fresh squid. The fresh seafood is tasty and delicious though you give simple seasoning like salt, lime, and ketchup. But, if you have no idea to cook those ingredients, you can find the recipes in internet, magazine, or your creation. Those menus of BBQ Indonesia look so yummy and tasty. You can eat it with a plate of rice or eat it directly.
In New Year Eve, of course there are many traditions that can be conducted. One of the main choices is conducting a party of BBQ. There is a different sensation when you grill some delicious bbq menus together with your friends, family, and relatives. It makes the situation intimate.
The first barbeque tool is grill. There are many types of barbeque grill that can be chosen. It starts from electric type using gas tube. It needs to consider a safety and practical factors. If your outdoor garden area is not too big, it is better to use electric barbeque or gas grill because it is not producing much smoke. Meanwhile, if you love smoky taste on the meat, you can select charcoal barbeque.
Another tool and thing to need for BBQ is ingredients. After preparing a right grill, you need to shop ingredients for being grilled. Almost all food ingredients are appropriate for being grilled. However, some main foods for barbeque are sausage, corn, chicken steak, beef steak, shrimp, ribs, and meat satay completed by pepper. Are you hungry when you imagine it?
To make the taste of meat, the tools of barbecue to prepare is BBQ sauce. Marinade sauce has a function to make the taste absorbed to inside in the meat. Before and after being grilled, you need to spread sauce on the meat in order to make the taste of this BBQ menu is tastier and yummier. It is not only available in BBQ sauce flavor, but it is available in teriyaki sauce.
The last barbeque tool needed is tongs. It is used to spread BBQ sauce and versatile stick in order to make a process turn a grilled meat easily. If you have no tongs, you can change it with spatula or bbq fork. It is important to consider the distance of those tools with your hands. Those are some things needed for BBQ.

MLA Opens Denver Office
Sourced Author DOMAIN.COM
Major, Lindsey & Africa, a major legal search firm based in Hanover, opened a new office in Denver on Tuesday. This latest office puts MLA at 27 offices stationed around the world.
Due to Denver's growing size and economy, and the need for more lawyers that goes with it, David Maurer, executive director for the company's Partner Practice Group, said he had his eye on opening a Denver office for a couple years.
"Law firms have been opening in Denver for the last few years and we look forward to helping those firms and organizations while we assist lawyers in the market navigate opportunities," said Maurer.
MLA announced three new leaders for the Denver office, including Dudley Morton who will lead its in-house counsel practice, guiding firms through the hiring process, and John Boyd to run the office's partner practice group, advising firms on lateral partner searches.
Maggie Tassi will relocate from San Francisco to run the Denver office's interim legal talent group, which specializes in quickly finding new lawyers to step into a firm.
"A favorable tax climate and a growing, educated workforce is driving growth in Denver," said John Cashman, president of Major, Lindsey & Africa. "In recent years, BigLaw has also come to Denver, and this presents the perfect opportunity for MLA to focus on the market and meet the demand for highly specialized legal search services for law firms and in-house legal departments."

A magical marriage of clown and improvisation, Blind Date by Rebecca Northan is original, fresh, and hilarious. What can a seasoned professional (in a clown nose) possibly have to talk about with a random audience member who works in research in international law? Well, after covering Sartre (God is dead… actually I believe that was Nietzsche), they moved on to Kant and Descartes, and finally got around to what their ideal dates would be like.
As a playwright, I might have felt a bit threatened by this beautiful unscripted piece of theatre. Then I relaxed and thought about the flawless structure of the show. It was designed by a theatre professional and worked like any great comedy.
Once the audience accepted the premise and Northan explained the "fourth wall" as a theatre convention during a "time out", the rest of the show was surprisingly seamless, delightfully funny, and amazingly heart warming. Most touching of all was, on leaving the theatre, I ran into a small group of millennials trying to re-enact one of the key scenes on the steps of the theatre.
One must wonder whether ALL the audience participants are as "at ease" articulate and charming as the one who was chosen for opening night. Nonetheless, Northan has created an almost fool proof structure which is both unpredictable and brilliant. Her wit and timing are stunning and we have the original creator here in Montreal, as an added gift.
This is a magical and perfect end to a miserable and unusually long winter. Put on you spring dud and head out to the Centaur.
Blind Date is at the Centaur Theatre until the 28th of April . There is a gay version of the show on Thursday nights. Info on tickets is HERE.

Vegetated coastal habitats (VCHs), such as mangrove forests, salt marshes and seagrass meadows, have the ability to capture and store carbon in the sediment for millennia, and thus have high potential for mitigating global carbon emissions. Carbon sequestration and storage is inherently linked to the geochemical conditions created by a variety of microbial metabolisms, where physical disturbance of sediments may expose previously anoxic sediment layers to oxygen (O2), which could turn them into carbon sources instead of carbon sinks. Here, we used O2, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and pH microsensors to determine how biogeochemical ...

Carbon sequestration and storage is inherently linked to the geochemical conditions created by a variety of microbial metabolisms, where physical disturbance of sediments may expose previously anoxic sediment layers to oxygen (O2), which could turn them into carbon sources instead of carbon sinks. Here, we used O2, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and pH microsensors to determine how biogeochemical conditions, and thus aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways, vary across mangrove, salt marsh and seagrass sediments (case study from the Sydney area, Australia). We measured the biogeochemical conditions in the top 2.5 cm of surface (0–10 cm depth) and experimentally exposed deep sediments (>50 cm depth) to simulate undisturbed and physically exposed sediments, respectively, and how these conditions may affect carbon cycling processes. Mangrove surface sediment exhibited the highest rates of O2 consumption and sulfate (SO42-) reduction based on detailed microsensor measurements, with a diffusive O2 uptake rate of 102 mmol O2 m-2 d-1 and estimated sulfate reduction rate of 57 mmol Stot2- m-2 d-1. Surface sediments (0–10 cm) across all the VCHs generally had higher O2 consumption and estimated sulfate reduction rates than deeper layers (>50 cm depth). O2 penetration was <4 mm for most sediments and only down to ∼1 mm depth in mangrove surface sediments, which correlated with a significantly higher percent organic carbon content (%Corg) within sediments originating from mangrove forests as compared to those from seagrass and salt marsh ecosystems. Additionally, pH dropped from 8.2 at the sediment/water interface to <7–7.5 within the first 20 mm of sediment within all ecosystems. Prevailing anoxic conditions, especially in mangrove and seagrass sediments, as well as sediment acidification with depth, likely decreased microbial remineralisation rates of sedimentary carbon. However, physical disturbance of sediments and thereby exposure of deeper sediments to O2 seemed to stimulate aerobic metabolism in the exposed surface layers, likely reducing carbon stocks in VCHs.

The Higher Hero
In her novel The Autograph Man, Zadie Smith takes a comic tour of several aspects of twenty-first century life. Despite government dominance in many areas of social action, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have a rich history, though they often have had limited funds, have operated under government restraint, and have been limited in much of their activity to urban areas. They have served in fields such as religion, family planning, education, rural health and mutual aid, legal aid, workers' rights, philanthropy, regional or ethnic interests, literature and the arts, and ecology and conservation Muslim and Christian organizations have been active in community education and health care since the early twentieth century. Foreign religious, philanthropic, and national and international organizations have supported welfare efforts by government and NGOs, though most NGOs are homegrown. The authoritarian nature of the New Order led to tensions between the government and NGOs in areas such as legal aid, workers' rights, and conservation, and the government sought to co-opt some such organizations. Also, foreign support for NGOs led to tensions between the various governments, even cancellations of aid, when that support was viewed as politically motivated. With the collapse of the New Order regime and pressures for reform since 1998, NGOs are more active in serving various constituencies, though economic upset during the same period has strained their resources. To avoid putting makeup on that looks caked, use a large bristled brush to dust face powder over the forehead, chin, and the bridge of the nose. Cream blush is a better choice because it will not settle into the wrinkles or fine lines the way powder does. Never wear makeup for aging skin that shimmers or shines on your face or around your eyes because both will make wrinkles and lines stand out, making you appear older than you are. The final story in the collection, East, West, is "The Courter." The story of "The Courter" is how the young boy learns of the difficulties of integrating cultures. The young boy goes through a number of tough experiences that made living in the western environment a nightmare. His family gets laughed at for their eastern habitual actions, such as the use of wrong vocabulary. They also are victims of violent attacks. But they still survive on the good works that take place in the West. Ms. Bosworth's most recent flight out of LAX found her in a cream mini-dress with slightly belled sleeves, by Frame. Her lace-up ankle boots by Tod's are absolutely fabulous and wold look good with a zillion things in most people's closets. The fur gilet is simply luxurious, with shades of beige, burgundy and black.
2. You should make sure that you have washed your hands thoroughly and tied back your hair before cleansing your skin. When applying cleanser, use gentle sweeping upwards movements using your fingers to spread it up from the neck over the jaw line and up to the forehead. Upward movement of your fingers will lift the hairs that cover the skin's surface and make sure the cleanser gets in to clean effectively. Use your first, middle, and ring finger to massage the cleanser into your skin. Follow the flow of the lymph that helps to clear out and prevent any areas of congestion and promotes the flow of blood circulation to keep your skin healthy and glowing. This is a colorful fashion style which is a combination of many styles – clothes are mostly in colorful printed fabrics. Intense and bold colors were mostly used like purple and orange. Ethnic prints like paisley prints are also used in clothes. There on the apocalyptic battlefield laid the dead bodies of the greatest warriors history had ever known – Karna, Duryodhana, Bhishma, Uttar, Shalya, Dronacharya, Ghatotkacha, Abhimanyu, Dhrishtadyumna, UpaPandavas, Shikhandi, sons of Karna, Kauravas, Shakuni slain by each other. So, great was the productivity and strength of these warriors, if utilized effectively, the world would have witnessed an era of new social order, religious transformation, and knowledge expansion. The most fascinating part of Mahabharata is that every individual have a story to tell. A story that speaks in their own words, their viewpoints, and their heart attempting to revive the memories of a lifetime. Geared towards teenagers, and people who spend only a fraction of time on their makeup, the Essentials line offers the simplest skin care products of all the lines. There are cleansers, toners, and hydrating lotions for all skin types. The sphere of fashion is filled with different styles and trends to choose from. You should make use of it and help yourself stand out in the crowd. It is full of possibilities to explore your style and bring it out for people to see and find out who your really are and what your personality is. Hot weather does not mean that you have to dress down – Karlie Kloss' lightweight white button-up and nude heels is a great example of how to keep it breezy but smart during the hottest days of the year. 4. Women are paying the price for following different brands of feminism. They want to live and work like men, smoke to alleviate stress, and drink to prove that what men do they can do better. In the last fifteen years, there has been a three-fold rise of women alcoholics. Earlier, women had the advantage of a four and half year life expectancy over men. Today the gap is decreasing because of similar lifestyles. Women don't realize that by masquerading as men they are merely living up to patriarchal values. According to scientists from the Swedish Institute of Public Health, there is a link between equality and ill health. Men are affected by the loss of male privileges, and women's health is damaged by greater opportunity for risky behaviour and the stress of long working hours.
A number of successful beauty blogs include regular postings that focus on product reviews. Because there are so many brands and types of cosmetics and beauty products on the market, blog readers will be interested in finding out which products perform well and are cost-effective before making purchases. A beauty and makeup blogger who regularly reviews products in her collection, or who is willing to sample and review new products can build a large following of curious consumers over time. Some bloggers who review beauty items include ranking scales in their posts, which are a straightforward and effective way of informing readers of a product's strengths and weaknesses. Americans are known for being bold with their style choices. French women tend to stick to a more neutral palette when it comes to getting dressed. Tiny denim shirts seem to be creeping back into fashion, but Kaia Gerber has found a way to make them look far more stylish this time around by teaming them with oversized tailoring – and this layered look is a great way to tackle the heatwave in style. Sposi provided a romantic image of Italy struggling against outside forces. Giuseppe Mazzini's Young Italy organization and his fiery writings during and after the revolutions of 1848 did much to stir Italian nationalism and hatred of outside rule. Certainly, the roots of Italian fashion go way back – to 14th-Century Florence. And as the cradle of the Renaissance, Italy can lay claim to some serious heritage. In Florence, for elite families of the period – the Medici among them – appearance and display were intimately bound up with identity. Affluent Florentines were obsessed with fashion, investing huge proportions of their fortunes on clothing. During the New Order, those not having a religion were suspected of being Communist, so there was a rush to conversion in many areas, including Java, which gained many new Christians. Followers of traditional ethnic beliefs were under pressure as well. In places such as interior Kalimantan and Sulawesi, some people and groups converted to one of the world religions, but others sought government recognition for a reorganized traditional religion through both regional and national politicking. Among the Ngaju Dayak, for instance, the traditional belief system, Kaharingan, gained official acceptance in the Hindu-Buddhist category, though it is neither. People who follow traditional beliefs and practices are often looked down upon as primitive, irrational, and backward by urban civil and military leaders who are Muslim or Christian— but these groups formed new sorts of organizations, modeled on urban secular ones, to bolster support. Such moves represent both religious and ethnic resistance to pressure from the outside, from neighboring Muslim or Christian groups, and from exploitative government and military officers or outside developers of timber and mining industries. On Java, mystical groups, such as Subud, also lobbied for official recognition and protections. Their position was stronger than that of remote peoples because they had followers in high places, including the president.

In 1973, she created a textile line for Abraham-Zumsteg, for which she was awarded the Resources Council's Roscoe (the design trade's equivalent of the Oscar) in 1977.
An avid gardener, Agnelli has authored a number of books on the subject, also providing many of the photographs. Two of her books are about the Garden of Ninfa (1999) and The Agnelli Gardens at Villar Perosa (1998).
More recently, she oversaw the opening of the Renzo Piano-designed art gallery Pinacoteca Giovanni and Marella Agnelli (it:Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli), built on the roof of the former Lingotto Fiat factory in Turin, Italy. The Agnelli collection includes Picasso, Renoir, Canaletto, Matisse and Canova materpieces.
The reserved, patrician tastemaker and socialite is also known for her inclusion in Truman Capote's circle of "swans" – wealthy, stylish, and well-married women friends whose company he adored because they "had created themselves, as he had done", and "had stories to tell" According to Capote, Agnelli was "the European swan numero uno", the youngest in a group that included Babe Paley, Gloria Guinness, C. Z. Guest, Slim Keith, and Pamela Harriman, Lee Radziwill and Jacqueline Kennedy. In her autobiography, Washington Post publisher and Capote friend Katharine Graham recounts that the author once told her that if Paley and Agnelli were "both in Tiffany's window, Marella would be more expensive" (Personal History, p. 393).
She was portrayed in the American biographical film Infamous (2006) by Isabella Rossellini.

As various African currencies continue to fall against the U.S. dollar, some experts say that the internationalization of the RMB will have a positive impact on the African economy, lowering the cost of trade and currency risk, explained the chief economist of South Africa Standard Bank.
"Africa is a major importing country of Chinese goods. RMB internationalization could be used as a shortcut to lower the import costs and promote the growth of international trade. China has made significant investments and built important infrastructures in many African countries such as Kenya. These promote the local industrialization process and manufacturing development," said the chief economist of South Africa Standard Bank.
He also said that the internationalization of the RMB is a pragmatic initiative as well as being of important symbolic significance. African countries can increase the competitiveness of their own products while still being able to fall back on imported products and services from China. Internationalization of the RMB can help to simplify trade procedures and also plays an indispensable role in protecting China's African investments and promoting Sino-African cooperation.
"Although some African countries are facing the adverse effects of the decline in bulk commodity prices, the African economy still has a great investment opportunity in the long term. The RMB's internationalization process has great potential and a bright future on the African continent," said him.
