Alfred (software)

 

  • Alfred is an application launcher and productivity application for macOS. Alfred is free, though an optional paid upgrade ('Powerpack') is available.
  • Using a keyboard shortcut chosen by the user, Alfred provides a quick way to find and launch applications and files on the Mac or to search the web both with predefined keywords for often-used sites such as Amazon.com, IMDb, Wikipedia, and many others, with the ability to add users' custom searches for the sites most applicable to them. In its free version, it also serves as a calculator, spell-checker, and a convenient interface for controlling the Mac with system commands.
  • Alfred's capabilities can be extended with the Powerpack which provides additional features, including the ability to directly navigate your file system, perform actions on the files and applications you search for, control iTunes, open Address Book entries, save text clips, and more. Alfred also allows you to set global hotkeys, access your URL history and create auto-expanding text snippets.
  • There are hundreds of user-created extensions. A large repository for user-created workflows and themes created for Alfred 2 and 3 can be found at Packal.
  • Alfred can be used as an alternative to macOS launchers such as Quicksilver and was created primarily with ease of use in mind. Alfred has garnered praise including the 2011 Macworld Editors' Choice Award for the best Mac hardware and software of the year, being named TUAW's Best of 2011 Mac utility app, and one of The 10 Best Mac Apps of 2011 by Mashable. It has also been recognised as one of 10 Must-have Apps for Mac Newbies by Maclife.com and a runner-up in MacStories Mac App of 2011 reader's choice.

Create Engaging Content Especially for LinkedIn

Just as with other social networks, you can post simple text updates, images, and links to other sites, and you can share posts from other users. But make sure that your post is useful, informative and relevant to your professional connections. And you may want to brush up your writing skills! You can also record or upload video directly to LinkedIn from your device. This allows you to share your insights and experiences, or to boost your organization's brand identity. Use the built-in filters and "stickers" to brighten up your video, and add captions for people who watch with the sound off.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchains

With the increasing adoption of blockchain technology, the role of an accountant will change but not be eliminated. Think of mechanics. You still need the mechanic, but the mechanic will have new things to learn. The new technology will let accountants spend their time on the highest leveraged activities. Consider the role before Excel. People thought Excel would do our work for us, but it didn’t. But it is a better spreadsheet and made the job easier. Technology is changing at an exponential rate. Ignorance and apathy will put the slower movers at a disadvantage. It is expensive and it is complex, but if you don’t experiment with it, you will be in danger of falling behind. Now, remember when you first saw the internet? What about when you received a PC or a laptop? It is just another tool. It is a new tool that will change the role but not to make it obsolete. Those accountants who can embrace new technology, AI and blockchain will be well ahead of the game.

¨butter fish¨ also known as The Escolar

   Health effects  Escolar's wax ester content can cause keriorrhea (Greek: flow of wax), gempylotoxism or gempylid fish poisoning. Symptoms range from stomach cramps to rapid loose bowel movements, occurring 30 minutes to 36 hours following consumption. This condition may also be referred to as steatorrhea. Two known ways to reduce the likelihood of escolar-induced keriorrhea are to limit portions to six ounces (170 g) or less and to consume portions close to the tail, which typically have a lower wax ester content. Reports conflict on whether deep skinning, freezing or grilling will reduce the likelihood of keriorrhea.
