How to create a bootable USB stick from a Acronis ISO file without Acronis Rescue Media Builder?

Very often I boot the Acronis True Image from a bootable USB stick to make a backup from a entire disk. The problem with Acronis True Image for me is that if I want to do recovery from an Acronis disk image I always forgot which Acronis version I originally used to create it.
My idea was to save the image file of the bootable USB stick, which was created by the Acronis Rescue Media Builder, in the same location as the disk image. So in case of recovery I just need to recreate the bootable USB stick from the USB image file and do not need to install the dedicated Acronis version on a machine first and then use the Rescue Media Builder to create a bootable USB stick. Fortunately Acronis Rescue Media Builder has the option to save the bootable image to an ISO file (e.g. AcronisBootablePEMedia.iso). So the only thing I need is an application which can create a bootable USB stick from the ISO file. The application I use for this is YUMI. Of course there are many other applications out there which can create a bootable USB stick from the ISO file too. The good thing with YUMI is that the app do not need to be installed and has a very small file size.
Make sure you choose "Try Unlisted ISO (GRUB)" in YUMI:

New page "Chinese Online TV" on my homepage online

As in my last post "Taiwanese TV channels stopped satellite broadcasting in the European area" mentioned many taiwanese tv channels stopped broadcasting on satellites in the european area. But many of them provide live streaming on the internet. So I decided to make the new "Chinese Online TV" page. Another thing is that I decided to make the new page in English because many chinese in Europe don't speak German, but share the same interest for watching chinese tv channels.

Taiwanese TV channels stopped satellite broadcasting in the European area

I know, it's not really the latest news, but I did't have time to keep my blog up to date recently. The fact is that most of the taiwanese TV channels stopped broadcasting on satellites in the European area at the beginning of 2017. Strictly speaking not only in the European area.
The good news is most of them had announced that they will broadcast through streaming platform like Youtube on the internet.
Futhermore the Taiwan Macro View TV had annouced that they stop broadcasting with 1. January 2018.
