Belgian environment minister resigns as her false allegation is exposed

By 1072 0

A Belgian environment minister, Joke Schauvliege, has been forced to resign as her false allegation that she was informed by the security personals that the ongoing school students protest demanding climate action had been targeted against her has been exposed.

Earlier, shortly after the security forces confirmed that they had not passed any such information, she apologised publically for the untrue statement she made in a gathering of farmers.

But, the students were not ready to admit the apology. Most of them responded as if the statement insulted the youngsters who stand with the noble cause of demanding climate action.

The resigned minister received severe criticism. Most of those who came out publically against the resigned minister were youngsters and environmentalists.

The European school students have been organising protests across the continent for last few weeks demanding climate action. The movement, which started in Brussels, has rapidly spread to each and every corner of Europe. The movement is entirely controlled by the school students. So far, nothing relevant has been received to assume that there is anything other than the far of spontaneity behind the rapid spread of the movement across the Europe.

Facebook, the ultimate social media companion turned 15

By 1131 0

The world wide social networking service, Facebook turned 15 yesterday! The Facebook, shortly called ‘FB’ was launched on February 4th 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, who were just 19 then, with his college roommate and fellow Harvard University student Eduardo Saverin.

The predecessor of Facebook, FaceMash was opened in 2003. Facebook was expanded to twenty-one universities in the United Kingdom and others around the world, on October 1, 2005. Facebook launched a high school version in September 2005, and Zuckerberg called the next logical step. Later, they expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft.

On the 15th birthday, lets take a look at some inspirational quotes from Facebook’s captain, Mark Zuckerberg!

  1. “I started the site when I was 19. I didn’t know much about business back then.”
  2. “I think a simple rule of business is, if you do things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.”
  3. “The question I ask myself like almost every day is,’Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?”
  4. “Find that thing you are super passionate about.”
  5. “Don’t let anyone tell you to change who you are.”
  6. “People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don’t really believe in it, then they are not going to really work hard.”
  7. “Our society needs more heroes who are scientists, researchers, and engineers. We need to celebrate and reward the people who cure diseases, expand our understanding of humanity and work to improve people’s lives.”
  8. “If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.”
  9. “Instead of building walls, we can help build bridges.”
  10. “If you’re always under the pressure of real identity, I think that is somewhat of a burden.”
  11. “Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today.”
  12. “My number one piece of advice is: you should learn how to program.”
  13. “Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by fare the thing I am most proud of in my life.”
  14. “Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.”
  15. “I’m here to build something for the long-term. Anything else is a distraction.”

EU, US to intervene in Venezuela-Turkey-Iran gold trade

By 1817 0

Venezuela’s oil economy has almost died due to the US sanction. Now, it relies almost solely on its gold trade for its sustenance. The United Arab Empire, Russia and Turkey are the biggest importers of the Venezuelan gold. Of these three, Turkey’s trade with the socialist Latin American is the one which worries the European Union and the United States the most. It is alleged that the gold reaches Turkey from Venezuela ostensibly for the purpose of refinement is shipped to Iran. The US is of the belief that the network of the Venezuela-Turkey-Iran gold trade is what enables the embattled Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, who is on an ultimatum, to keep the loyalty of his country’s soldiers intact. The west now knows that the best way to topple the aggressive Venezuelan socialist is to cut off his revenue channels. The EU and US’ latest combined attempt to force Turkey to stop its engagements with Venezuela, particularly its gold trade, is regarded as the part of that strategy. The US has reportedly served an ultimatum to Turkey to cease its gold trade with Venezuela.

If Russia and the others does not increase their gold and oil import with Venezuela, Mr Maduro will be toppled as soon as the EU and the US find success in forcing Turkey to withdraw its backup –by all possibility that would not take more than few weeks.

It is not clear from where Iran has come to the picture. There is evidence that Turkey has brought in several tonnes of gold from Venezuela in the name of refinement and none of the imported has been returned. But, there is nothing to assume that what has been imported by Turkey has been exported to Iran. The possibility that Iran has been purposefully brought into the narrative to increase the strength of those against the Venezuelan trade cannot be ruled out blindly.

‘Crust’ Macaroni and Cheese

By 1301 0

Lets make some extra delicious ‘crust’ Macaroni and Cheese.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs

Preparation

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch glass baking dish. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and mix with half of the butter.

While the macaroni is boiling, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook 5 minutes longer. Add the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.

Cook and stir until the milk has thickened, about 10 minutes. Once thick and smooth, stir in the salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, mustard, 2 cups of Cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses have melted, then stir in the macaroni until evenly coated. Scrape into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top.

Toss the remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese with the dry bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the macaroni. Bake in the preheated oven until the macaroni is hot and the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
