I kind of can’t believe Apple Mail runs perfectly now, no crashes, on the High Sierra beta. Email in a sense is the most important method of communication, with push notifications and the ability to generate endless email accounts to help organize a life or business. If it’s the most powerful - then definitely. Since (from my perspective) you’re far more aware of the current state email, I’ll check out MailMate. So would just Make a habit of force-quitting Apple Mail at least 9 out of 10 times I’d run it, every thirty minutes or so. It’s weird how Apple Mail was completely non-operable, dysfunctional/ broken, and I didn’t really have a better way to replace it. Thanks a lot for posting this info in the thread/ question(s) I asked. Does SpamSieve do anything else? I mean it’s genius, brilliant, it brings full control over all email.īasically, should I go and drop 40 dollars on PostBox now because it’s perfect, and SpamSieve works the most efficiently with that app. SpamSieve opens with Mail, and the two options - train as good/ train as spam are in a menu. I guess the integration really doesn’t go that deep when I think about it. Which is strange.īut how is SpamSieve’s integration with PostBox? I just wonder about PostBox, it seems like it’s the absolute best email client in the universe for macOS. And SpamSieve is setup, I had to update to a beta version of SpamSieve, but it works. I have Apple Mail open now, and it’s working. I’m on the High Sierra beta now, and it’s the first time in years my email is not crashing. It advertises itself as a super powerful app on the same level as Photoshop. The only app I haven’t tried is PostBox(sp). I’ve tried AirMail (sp), Spark… They also crash. I have each mail account set up textbook, The right mail servers, the right ports, username and password correct… It’s kind of frustrating to try to run a business with email that fails constantly, and barely works. It either instantly crashes, or works for a minute, then crashes (not responding) Two Years every day, all day, 9 out of 10 times I launch Apple Mail it crashes. I run a business and have 40-50 email accounts active at a time.Īpple Mail was always the client I used, it’s the most integrated into the OS, it’s familiar, just used to the ecosystem. The main issue is, I have been struggling in a bit of a crisis ever since El Capitan came out. SpamSieve is great, it’s definitely a must-have for anyone who uses email these days (everyone). Which app is most integrated with/ optimal/ superior, etc. Not sure why I feel strange asking this question, I think I’m not sure how to phrase it. ![]() ![]() XAMPP is free to install and use for the developers. MAMP server is quite easy to use for the local development and testing of web applications. ![]() MAMP software uses PHP as the development and testing language.Ĭomparatively, the MAMP server is considered easier to use than XAMPP. MAMP server allows the developer to use the MySQL database, one of the most famous relational databases.ĭevelopment and Testing languages used in XAMPP software are Perl and PHP (OOPS programming language). It can also be used for Windows-based Operating Systems.įor the development and testing purposes of web applications, XAMPP allows the developer to use the MariaDB database, a relational database developed by MySQL only. XAMPP is a cross-platform supported by all Operating systems (as the name indicates), whether Windows, Mac, or Linux. Installation of the MAMP server is easy and takes only a few clicks. The installation process of the XAMPP server is quite easy, but it differs from one system to another. MAMP is an acronym in which ‘M’ denotes Mac Operating System, ‘A’ stands for Apache Server, ‘M’ stands for MySQL, and P stands for PHP. XAMPP is an acronym in which ‘X’ denotes Multiplatform, ‘A’ denotes Apache server, ‘M’ stands for MariaDB, ‘P’ stands for Perl, and ‘P’ stands for PHP. But there are some technical differences between them. Both web servers are best in their places it depends on the operating system, database server, and the programming language the developer/ tester uses.īoth environments ensure to achieve the same goal to get the best results. In XAMPP, installation and usage differ from one operating system to another. Installation is just a few clicks away in the MAMP software. Talking about ease of use, both are easy to install and use for the developers and testers, but comparatively, MAMP is much easier to use.Mac users always prefer the MAMP as their first preference it provides many more tools, including WordPress development tools. One of the advantages of using the MAMP server is that it provides various tools to the user, like the ability to set up the Nginx server, mobile testing tools, and built-in editors.Users need to set up the websites manually. The biggest disadvantage of using the MAMP server over the XAMPP server is that MAMP does not offer standalone installers for applications like WordPress.In contrast, the free and premium versions are available for the MAMP server to the developers. There is no premium version of it, so no hidden features are there for the developers. XAMPP is a 100% open-source server that is completely free to use.In contrast, MAMP provides many tools to run WordPress on the local machine. XAMPP server comes with some extraordinary features like the support of FileZilla, Pearl, mercury mail, and various other scripts.The XAMPP and MAMP local web servers provide support for the Apache server, but the MAMP Pro server version also supports the Nginx web server for the developers.It provides the built-in editor for the above languages and various testing tools. In contrast, the MAMP server supports PHP, Pearl, Python, and Ruby languages (though, as per the full form, only PHP language is supported). Talking about the web development languages supported by both servers, the XAMPP server provides support for the Pearl and PHP languages.Though MAMP Pro also supports Windows-based Operating Systems. Yes, you heard it right! Almost all Operating Systems support XAMPP web servers, be it Windows, Mac, or Linux, whereas in MAMP, ‘M’ stands for Mac, i.e., MAMP is supported by the Mac-based Operating System. As indicated in the full form of both the web servers, ‘X’ in XAMPP stands for X- operating system, which means multiple Operating Systems.Users can edit any number of times and can run the applications normally before hosting on the actual web server on the internet. There are a few differences between the XAMPP and MAMP local servers, which are used to develop and test web applications locally on the desktop. ![]() ![]() Let us discuss some of the major key differences between XAMPP vs MAMP: ![]() ![]() Here, the seasons’ offerings are often celebrated for themselves: a cargolada for cargols (snails), a calçotada when calçots (local spring onions) ripen in late winter, a sardinada for sardines in summer. If the point is to fully taste that sea bream baked with just a pinch of salt or those wild rovelló mushrooms on the grill, then they’d better be fresh. ![]() ![]() This is one reason why Barcelona has 39 covered food markets and thousands of small specialty shops. The focus remains on les matèries primes, high-quality ingredients that are cooked in ways that draw out and heighten their inherent flavors, not hide them. Perhaps all this makes Catalan cooking sound baroque. It’s stirred in toward the end of cooking to give everything from pots of lentils to braised meats more body, depth of flavor, and earthiness. Then there’s picada, a paste pounded in a mortar from garlic, parsley, and almonds or hazelnuts, plus maybe saffron or even chocolate (in its ancient guise as a spice). It’s not a sauce but the flavorful foundation on which countless dishes are built. There are other defining signatures of Catalan cooking, like sofregit - a sweet pulp of onions and tomatoes patiently cooked down in olive oil. They’re combined by Catalan cooks in all sorts of unique ways, stewing the mar i muntanya (sea and mountains) or the dolç i salat (sweet and savory) together in the same pot. Bordered to the north by the Pyrenees Mountains and France, to the east by 360 miles of Mediterranean coast, and with an interior of farmland and agricultural plains, the region’s products find their way into Barcelona’s markets, and ultimately, its kitchens. This cuisine is much more than a coastal one. “A country’s cuisine is its landscape in a pot,” goes a dictum attributed to Catalunya’s foremost food writer, Josep Pla. Still, the cuisine has continued to thrive and evolve as newer waves of immigration from Latin America, North Africa, and around Europe have added another layer of global ingredients and flavors to the Catalan canon. It has survived more recent turbulence, too - in the fall of 2017, Catalunya’s autonomy was suspended, its parliament dissolved, its leaders arrested, and direct rule imposed from Madrid for more than seven months due to the Catalan government’s push for independence from Spain. Even if scarce at times, it was always a constant. Yet Catalan food was neither political nor politicized. And its cuisine continued to absorb influences, especially with the arrival of products from the Americas, in dishes from European chefs working in Barcelona during the 19th century, and from the immigrants from other parts of Spain drawn to Catalunya’s economic prosperity in the 1950s and 1960s as the country grew more industrialized.ĭuring Francisco Franco’s dictatorship (1939-1975), Catalans suffered particularly stringent cultural repression, including the prohibition of their language in public spaces. It would take (with a brief exception around the Spanish Civil War) more than 250 years to get it back.īut over these centuries, the region continued to foster its distinct identity. It wasn’t until the fall of Barcelona in 1714, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, that Catalunya lost its long-held autonomy. This cooking was representative of a rich, independent culture that included its own constitution, laws, and political structure, and Catalunya retained these even after the 15th-century marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella joined Aragon and Castile and laid the foundations for a modern, unified Spain. Even then, la cuina catalana - rooted in elements of its Greek, Roman, and Arab past - was highly regarded, with collections of its recipes printed throughout the Middle Ages (the Llibre de Sent Soví, published in 1324, is among the oldest surviving manuscripts in Europe). ![]() From the 12th century, the principality of Catalunya had been in a union with the medieval kingdom of Aragon, and together they controlled a giant swath of the western Mediterranean, including what’s now southern Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, the Balearic Islands, and parts of Greece. ![]() ![]() As such, land in the metaverse is being used to host events and run services. The metaverse is designed to magnify the experiences we already have online, while helping create new ones. Owners of that land can rent it out and let companies use it to promote their products and services.

Many hospitals are struggling to cope with the increasing number of intensive care patients. On Wednesday, the country recorded 446 Covid-19 related deaths – its highest number of daily deaths in nine months. ![]() ![]() Germany continues to see a record-breaking number of cases, particularly in its eastern states. Germany, much like Austria, has one of the lowest vaccination rates in western Europe, with 68.4% and 65.6% of their populations fully vaccinated respectively, according to the ECDC. This needs a common approach but it is a discussion that I think has to be led,” she added. ![]() “How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union, this needs discussion. “Two or three years ago, I would never have thought to witness what we see right now, that we have this horrible pandemic, we have the vaccines, the life-saving vaccines, but they are not being used adequately everywhere,” von der Leyen told a press briefing Wednesday. But European countries are showing it can work Making Covid-19 vaccines mandatory was once unthinkable. (Photo by JOE KLAMAR / AFP) (Photo by JOE KLAMAR/AFP via Getty Images) Joe Klamar/AFP/Getty Images Authorities began vaccinating children between 5 and 11 against coronavirus in the capital on November 15, 2021, among soaring rates that saw a country wide lockdown for some two million people who have not been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. People wait in line for the corona vaccine outside of Christmas Market in front of Vienna's city hall in Vienna, Austria on November 15, 2021. Those refusing to do so would face 100 euro (US $113) fines for each passing month, the government said Tuesday.Įuropean Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said it was time to “potentially think about mandatory vaccination” within the bloc, as it faces the double onslaught of a fourth coronavirus wave and concerns over the Omicron variant discovered by South African health officials last week. If approved, Germany’s vaccine mandate would follow in the footsteps of neighboring Austria, which also plans to make inoculations for eligible adults compulsory from February.Įlsewhere, Greece announced that vaccines would be mandatory for people aged over 60 from mid-January. She added that vaccinated people will lose their vaccination status nine months after getting their last shot, apparently in an effort to encourage booster uptake. “The fourth wave must be broken and this has not yet been achieved,” she added.Ī nationwide vaccination mandate could come into effect from February 2022 – after it is debated in parliament and following guidance from Germany’s Ethics Council, Merkel said. ![]() “We have understood that the situation is very serious and that we want to take further measures in addition to those already taken,” Merkel told reporters at Thursday’s news conference. The press briefing is also Merkel’s last before she leaves office a grim note to end her 16 years as German chancellor. The announcement comes as Germany battles a surge in cases that has pushed Europe back to the epicenter of the pandemic, heightening fears over the newly discovered Omicron variant.
