Difference between latte and macchiato4/10/2023 A true Italian latte is never foamed but outside Italy, both will be basically added with foam. Later latte and macchiato are both foamed which has become more confusing for many. The caffe macchiato has evolved with the help of business marketing along with other factors. In truth, the original marker is simply steamed milk, nothing else. Macchiato, as an American invention, is typically added with foam, which in turn, confused a lot of people that the meaning of macchiato is îfoamî and foam is the actual marking agent in caffe macchiato. The espresso with milk is then marked (macchiato) for easier recognition.Īmericans had another way of reinventing this variant. Serving waiters find it difficult to determine which is which since coffee, with or without small amounts of milk, looks just the same. Originally, this came to happen because people ordering espressos want some milk on it. Caffe Macchiato therefore, literally means ìmarked coffeeî. Macchiato is also an Italian word meaning, ìmarkedî or ìspottedî. The customers seemed to like it and soon it picked up and spread all across the state. He called the drink ìcaffe latteî knowing that he only added more latte (milk) on the drink. So Meiorin made adjustments making a cappuccino with larger portions of milk to lessen its strength. Being the first Italian trained barista in the bay area in California, he made truly Italian cappuccinos which were found by the local market as being too strong. The reputed to be the ìAmerican latteî inventor is Lino Meiorin. The ones that you order in restaurants and cafes nowadays are made in a specific procedure as pioneered by the Americans. In essence, latte which is derived from the Italian, caffelatte ñ the type of drink is just a simple cup of coffee with milk. It should be noted that the latte version of coffee many uses in different parts of the world is an American version. Today, Latte or Caffe Latte is an ever-present part in coffee menus all over the world. In Italy, ordering latte will make the server give you a cup of milk and no coffee included obviously. In other countries nowadays, particularly English-speaking ones, use the term latte to indicate a certain kind of coffee. The word “latte” is Italian for milk and naturally, in Italy, caffelatte is used to describe coffee mixed with milk. How did coffee become so confusing? With all the French and Italian words associated with coffee, the average person is often dumbfounded and sometimes, will not know what to order.

Twitter ticker tape investments4/10/2023 I would not have picked it up otherwise as I do not have a very high opinion of the famous US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. This year there have been several books that I have re ad o nly because of friends' r ecommendations. Doing Justice: A Prosecutor’s Thoughts on Crime, Punishment and the Rule of Law by Preet Bharara That we could be the generation that kill our languages is a frightening one.ĥ. T hat this could be the fate of languages we call our mother to ngue s literally kept me awake at night. It can d isappear at worst or become a degraded language used only for daily interactions without complex thought. Languages often don’t evolve and disappear slowly: they can remain unchanged for centuries – for example, Amir Khusr u’s writings of a thousand years ago are still intelligible to us but it takes only one generation of children growing up without a certain language as their first language for that language to deteriorate. It also explains a critical fact about languages that at least I wasn’t aware of. It almost like a necessary and sufficient condition to classify a language as coming from the Indian subcontinent. It is about the evolution of South Asian languages and has fascinating nuggets like what is the one thing that is common across all South Asian languages and which does not exist in other related languages. This book was both illuminating as well as disturbing in parts. Wanderers, Kings, Merchants – The story of India through its languages by Peggy Mohan T his results in not just inconvenience and unfairness for half of humanity but pretty drastic consequences for women's health and even their very lives when for example, they sustain worse injuries in car crashes because the cars aren’t designed for them or their heart attack symptoms are ignored as they aren’t part of the standard protocol. W omen have to simply adapt themselves to this reality. This is a book that shocked and angered me - that for virtually everything in the world, from urban planning to the design of seat belts or smart phones to testing of pharmaceuticals, the default human being in the world is always a man !

Diskkeeper 9 does win74/10/2023 Win8 doesn’t offer anything that anybody has been asking for as far as I can tell. Here’s where things get really frustrating. So while Win7 is nice, we’re still using the XP subset. So MS wants us writing Win7 apps but we can’t because: a) XP is still popular, b) there is no bridge code to hide the details and c) none of the new features are in. Alas still no support for the Vista+ features. Win7 is the spiritual successor to XP and worth the effort. Companies are moving to it as they get new computers but there is certainly no big rush. Win7 is, overall, a success and generally recommended as a required upgrade. Win7 didn’t have any radical changes but it did fix the issues with Vista. Quickly on the heels of Vista is Win7, the current OS. The code pack was the perfect opportunity to write the bridge code once so we didn’t have to but alas no. Still worse is that you can’t even use that code unless you’re running under Vista+ because it’ll blow up. Instead MS released a code pack that adds in the functionality that should be in the framework. NET (which MS said is their platform of choice going forward) doesn’t even support most of the new UI stuff. If you’ve ever written such bridge code you’ll realize that MS should have done it before release. Unforunately nobody wanted to upgrade so applications that want to use these new features either can’t or have to write bridge code to hide the differences. Jumplists, task dialog, restart manager, etc. It was a horrible disappointment in most areas but it introduced some radical UI changes that are popular. MS even extended the support cycle longer than normal to give people time. Many companies still have no intention of upgrading from XP. It doesn’t have any of the bells and whistles of modern OSes but it is solid and heavily used. OS Historyįirst there was XP (ignoring anything prior to that) which is a decade old and still popular. I’m more interested in the general public’s interest in the products. Firstly note that I always like to stay with the latest stuff so Win8 and VS11 will be on my machine as soon as they are released. Am I the only one that is not that excited about Win8? I haven’t had time yet to play around with it (waiting for VMWare to upgrade me to Workstation 8) so I might be missing something but I’m just not seeing anything worth looking at.

Posting a video on echofon twitter app4/10/2023 See what $2 can get you in the Google Play Store. Support like that is rare enough to applaud whenever we see it. Version 2.0 brought a list of changes, new features and bug fixes that are far too numerous to name. Luke Klinker and his brother have done a marvelous job with all the updates since the app’s launch a short while ago. One thing that makes this app’s price tag definitely worth it is the developer. For starters we’d love the ability to have more than two accounts at the same time, though considering many other apps don’t offer multiple accounts support we can’t say Talon is in bad shape. There are a couple of minor shortcomings we hope will be addressed in the future, but there isn’t much room to complain. This fully-featured app has all the makings of a premier Twitter experience, with slick user interface design (including a gorgeous tablet UI), an exhaustive number of customization options, and more. Talon is one of the few Twitter apps on the market that have completely adopted the latest design guidelines from Google in a very sensible and functional way. Otherwise, read on and see what the third-party developers of Android have cooked up over recent times. It’s not that bad these days, and it’s worth not having to deal with the hassle of the Twitter token debacle if you’ve been frustrated with that whole controversy. If you don’t fit that bill then, by all means, give the app a shot for free in the Google Play Store. The list doesn’t include the official offering from Twitter themselves, though that’s because we figure for users to be seeking out a list like this, they have already found something they don’t like about it. To make the search easier, we’ve compiled a list of some of the top Twitter apps for Android in 2014. This means apps often “die” before the getting gets good, and users are always forced to find new options if they can’t get their hands on a token for their favorite app. The landscape of Twitter apps has changed a ton since 2012, with Twitter’s latest API and developer policies limiting most third-party apps to just 100,000 users.

Reason: According to the biography, Orwell: The Life, Blair chose his name “.because it's a good round English name." Others have speculated he chose a pseudonym in order to avoid embarrassing his family while he lived as a poor writer.įamous works: Nineteen Eighty-Four, Animal Farm, Homage to Catalonia Reason: To maintain privacy by separating his public and private lives.įamous works: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, The Hunting of the Snark Reason: So that her publications would be taken seriously.įamous works: Middlemarch, Silas Marner, The Mill on the FlossĬharles Lutwidge Dodgson - AKA Lewis Carroll Reason: After being fired from a magazine for drinking during the Prohibition, Geisel decided to adopt the pseudonym “Seuss.” He added the “Dr.” as a poke at his father who’d always encouraged his son to get a PhD.įamous works: The Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Are they from a particular region? For instance, when author Judith Reumlet published the first book of her YA urban fantasy series, The Mortal Instruments, she knew her name might not resonate with young readers because it sounds a bit “dated.” So she decided to publish under the pen name Cassandra Clare.Ĭonsider whether your pseudonym rings any bells.

Finally, authors will often adopt a pseudonym in order to write in various genres without confusing their fans. While it’s less common for authors to publish under pseudonyms, it’s still often done for marketability purposes - and sometimes simply for the author’s own comfort in anonymity. As recently as the 1990s, Joanne Rowling was urged by publishers to publish the Harry Potter series under the name JK Rowling (the “K’ was fabricated, Rowling does not actually have a middle name) out of concern that young boys - a large demographic of the books’ target market - would not be inclined to read something written by a woman. Women, for instance, often had to conceal their identities by adopting a masculine “nom de plume” in order to even be considered for publication - and this trend has not entirely disappeared with times gone by. Back in the day, they were a necessity for some trying to make it in the publishing industry. Even further back than modern literature, authors have adopted pen names. |
