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.

Social intelligence

Social intelligence is the capacity to know oneself and to know others. Social Intelligence develops from experience with people and learning from success and failures in social settings. It is more commonly referred to as “tact,” “ Common sense ,” or “street smarts.” Social scientist Ross Honeywill believes social intelligence is an aggregated measure of self- and social-awareness, evolved social beliefs and attitudes, and a capacity and appetite to manage complex social change. Psychologist , Nicholas Humphrey believes that it is social intelligence, rather than quantitative intelligence, that defines who we are as humans. The original definition by Edward Thorndike in 1920 is "the ability to understand and manage men and women and boys and girls, to act wisely in human relations". It is equivalent to interpersonal intelligence , one of the types of intelligence identified in Howard Gardner 's theory of multiple intelligences , and closely related to the theory of ...

¨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.

Marmoset

 - The marmosets /ˈmÉ‘rmɵsÉ›t/ are 22 New World monkey species of the genera Callithrix, Cebuella, Callibella, and Mico. All four genera are part of the biological family Callitrichidae. The term marmoset is also used in reference to the Goeldi's marmoset, Callimico goeldii, which is closely related. - Most marmosets are about 20 centimetres (8 in) long. Relative to other monkeys, they show some apparently primitive features: they have claws rather than nails, and tactile hairs on their wrists. They lack wisdom teeth, and their brain layout seems to be relatively primitive. Their body temperature is unusually variable, changing by up to 4 °C (7 °F) in a day. Marmosets are native to South America and have been found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru. They have also been spotted in Central America and Mexico. They are also raised in captivity as pets. - According to recent research, marmosets exhibit germline chimerism, which is not known to occur in nature in an...
