Germany to restrict the data gathering activities by Facebook

By 635 0

Facebook has been warned to restrain its data collecting practices in Germany. This world’s largest social media network is facing a black-mark on its market dominance that they are gathering the users data without their knowing.

Germany is strict about their privacy concerns. Last year’s Cambridge Analytica scandal showed that tens of millions of Facebook profiles were harvested without their users’ consent.

Cartel office chief Andreas Mundt said that “In future, Facebook will no longer be allowed to force its users to agree to the practically unrestricted collection and assigning of non-Facebook data to their Facebook accounts,” In its order, the Cartel Office said it would only be possible to assign data from WhatsApp or Instagram to Facebook subject to the voluntary consent of users.

Chicken Schnitzel

By 853 0

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 large breasts)
  • 1 cup flour for dredging
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs, matzo meal, or panko
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil for frying (pick one with a high smoke point like grapeseed)
  • Fresh lemon wedges for garnish

Preparation

Lay down a 2-foot long strip of plastic wrap on your kitchen countertop. Place chicken breasts on the plastic, leaving a 2-inch space between each breast. Cover the breasts with another strip of plastic, so the meat is sandwiched between two layers of plastic. Use a mallet to pound the breasts until they are a little less than ¼ inch thick.

Set up three wide, shallow bowls and a large plate on your countertop. In your first bowl, put the flour. In your second bowl, beat the eggs. In your third bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, paprika, 1/4 tsp salt and sesame seeds (optional) till well blended. Leave an empty plate nearby where you will place your coated schnitzels.

Pour oil into a skillet until it’s deep enough for frying (about ½ inch). Heat the oil slowly over medium. While oil is heating, dip each breast one by one into your breading bowls—first coat with flour, then with egg, then with breadcrumb mixture.

The ideal temperature to fry schnitzel is around 375 degrees F. When the oil is hot (but not smoking or splattering), fry the coated breasts in single-layer batches until they are golden brown on both sides. If your oil is at the right temperature, it should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Don’t fry more than two breasts at a time in a regular sized skillet, or the oil temperature will drop and the schnitzels will become greasy.

After frying, set the schnitzels on a paper towel and pat them dry to soak off excess oil. Sprinkle the schnitzels with additional salt to taste. Serve hot garnished with lemon wedges and your favorite condiment.

Belgian environment minister resigns as her false allegation is exposed

By 650 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 657 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.”
