10 People On Social Media You Don't Want To Be
Oh, social media. You have changed the world for so much better and so much worse. You give us laughs, you give us tears. You bring awareness to people in need but turn murderers into celebrities. You give us brilliant pieces of literature but also comment sections that make us lose all faith in humanity. You keep
food wine on my table and keep me #TooBlessedToBeStressed, but also give me the urge to delete all my social media accounts and move to a remote island where no one has heard of hashtags or the Kardashians. But I just can't quit you, Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat/Friendster. However, I do wish some people would quit you. Here are 10 people that need to #DoLess on social media. So. Much. Less.
10. The Self-Important Friend Cleanser
"I just cleaned up my friend list so if you're seeing this, you should feel lucky you made the cut!"
OMG THANK YOU! I don't know how I could live without seeing your status updates about your first world problems EVERY DAMN DAY.
Newsflash: NO ONE CARES. Friend cleanse all you want, but refrain from reminding people they're lucky to be Internet pals with you. You're not that important, I promise.
9. The "Stop Using Slang" PSA Person
"OMG, if you say the word bae, please unfriend me." "WTF is 'fleek' and how do we stop it!?"
Or this HILARIOUSLY clever meme.
Can you please explain to me why are you so offended by a simple, non-derogatory word someone has chosen to use? I mean, "LOL" was over five years ago but I'm not posting an aggressive Facebook PSA about it (no offense, Mom). You're probably the same out-of-touch person who maniacally posted "OMFG stop using hashtags, people!! They are SOOOO annoying and serve no purpose!" two years ago. Now that's funny, LOL. And lastly, not sure if you know how languages work, but many words that are in the dictionary and widely used every day (even by you!) began as slang–dude, babe, chilling, hang out, crush, AWESOME, etc. etc. etc. So stop crucifying people for using words you don't understand and focus on something more important……like crucifying people for grammar.
Which brings me to….
8. The Uneducated Commenter
"Your wrong if u think we need gun control in this country!!!" "Kim Davis was justified in depriving people of they're marriage licenses!!!" Sigh. It always seems to be the homophobes, racists, gun enthusiasts, raging redneck Republicans who don't know the difference between their and they're, your and you're, and their heads from their assholes. If you're going to spew a bunch of bigoted bullshit, at least use spellcheck. Actually no, keep doing what you're doing; I love calling your dumb asses out.
7. The Detached-from-Reality Person and/or Black Soul
You share every single mundane detail of your day and every single result of every single Buzzfeed quiz you take, but have never expressed an emotion over a national/international tragedy. Ok fine, you want to keep your personal social media
shallow light and non-controversial, but two reporters were shot in cold blood doing their jobs and your follow-up tweet was about your #OOTD. A bunch of children got shot at their school and you wasted no time posting the latest literary masterpiece you found: Are you just that disconnected from the world or you literally don't care about anything of importance? Either way, you're the worst.
6. The Cyber Bully/Celebrity Troller
Trolls, emerge from your computer cave and listen for a second. The fact that you take time out of your day to let the Kardashian/Jenner sister of your choice know how ugly/fat/fake you think she is ON HER PERSONAL INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT is beyond pathetic and you are a waste of space on this Earth. Stop being a jealous hater, understand these are real people you're cyber bullying (but also, they don't give a fuck what you think and will probably never read it), and get a hobby.
(That's on a Kim K pic btw.)
Also, celebrity superfans are harmless for the most part, but please don't be that person who comments "first" on Beyonce's Instagram. And half the time, your "first" is the 6th comment down because someone beat you to it before your 3G phone could complete the post and that's just embarrassing.
5. The Joke Thief
You see something funny on one of your social outlets and think "I want to repost that!" And hey, that's great! Way to make the world a happier place! But did you ever think someone spent time coming up with that meme/joke and it would be nice to credit them? Oh, you DID think of that but you just don't give a shit and/or want to make it seem like you came up with it yourself? Ok well go join the Fat Jewish's degenerate intern army who work in the back on a nail salon or hang out with Fuck Jerry and his cunty wife Beige Cardigan and continue being terrible. On the other hand, if the thought of giving credit where it's due just never crossed your mind, maybe you should consider this concept, and also thank your parents for their expert job in raising you to be a decent human.
4. The Stripper Masked as a Fitness Model
Oh you're a fitness model? You're an "inspiration"? I'm sorry but nothing about your blatant protein powder advertisement or straight-up pic of your butthole is making me want to go to the gym. Bye.
3. The Clickbait Sharer
If you ever get the urge to hit that share button on any article ending with "and you'll never believe what happens next!", please abort mission and go back to stalking your ex.
There's a word for this and it's "clickbait." This means that you were baited into clicking on it by the Internet demons. That means you're a little bit dumb. Do you want people to think you're dumb? I didn't think so. However, if that is your goal, please refer to #8, but stop clogging our newsfeed with "A koala spooned a Corgi puppy in a hammock and you'll never believe what happens next!!" (Shit I would totally click on that, though.)
2. The Angry Unfollower
I run two popular Instagrams (@BrosBeingBasic and @FashionDads), so I see this a lot. Casual #Humblebrag #nbd. You are either offended by something (because you're literally offended by everything all the time) or the post wasn't funny/sexy/inspirational/mass appealing/low-brow enough for your narrow mind, so you take the time to comment "I'm unfollowing!" on said account. Hey, NO ONE CARES. I don't give a shit if you unfollow me and neither does anyone else in this world who runs a popular Instagram account, celebs included. Just go.
1. The Suicide Selfie-er
Dying for a selfie? Yes friends, this just keeps happening. Gun selfies, bridge selfies, bear selfies, hanging-off-a-cliff selfies–people just keep risking (AND LOSING) their lives for that perfect pic to hashtag #Thankful, #LikeABoss, or #LivingTheDream on social media. And of course, it's always sad when innocent people die, but my sympathy levels are on the lower end for these extreme narcissists/idiots.
Bottom line, no matter what you choose to do or not do on social media, please always remember to selfie responsibly.

Another bright and sunny suncatcher...
I made another suncatcher recently...to send to friends who moved to Brisbane. Luckily they moved into a slightly elevated area and were not directly affected by flood waters.
Here are some pictures of the card and matching box I made to send them their little housewarming gift in...
List of Ingredients:
Cardstock: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Yoyo Yellow (SU) and Stamper's Select White (PTI)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (Tsukineko) and Versamark (SU)
Stamps: Neighbourhood Jumbo Wheel (SU) and Enjoy the Ride (PTI)
Accessories: Jumbo Wheel Handle (SU), Copic Markers (B06, RV29, Y19 and YG25), Liquid Applique, Pink Flamingo DSP (SU), Circle Metal-Edged Tags (SU), Scallop Edge Border Punch (SU), 1 1/4 inch Circle Punch (SU), Paper Piercer, White Gel Pen, Mounting Foam and Tombow Mono Adhesive (Penwa).
I hope you'll forgive my atrocious Copic colouring skills (or lack thereof). I always get lines...but at least in this case it doesn't look too bad to me...the stamp being one that has a hand-drawn, child-like quality about it...so child-like colouring fits the bill in my opinion (this is my story and I'm sticking to it ;-). I have put some liquid applique on the clouds, but as this lot was originally opened more than two years ago it seems to have lost its applique-like quality and dries smooth and shiny instead. Still looks nice up close (like white crystal effects instead of clear IYKWIM?).
Once again the fabulous lampwork bells are by Sari Glassman on Etsy, and the photo below is hers also (thank you Sari, for making such beautiful pieces of glass artwork for me to play with and admire).
I bought it from Bonnie at Bib Bon on Etsy, and I love it to bits. It is so soft and pretty. You might be wondering who I think I'm fooling though...by buying a sleep eye-mask when 40 weeks pregnant...but I have big plans! When Miss 6 and Mr 4 are at school/preschool...new baby and I will be napping during the day whenever humanly possible. This is my solemn oath...wish me luck ;-).
Ok....suppose I'd better go do something like have breakfast, or get dressed, or something!!

Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge
I had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday...you know, patiently waiting for this baby to be born and all...NOT ;-)...so thought I'd make the most of it and participate in this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge...
I decided to ink up Baby Button Bits for the first time. I haven't had this set for all that long, so it certainly wasn't dusty...but given that I'm 39+ weeks pregnant the baby theme seemed fitting to me!
This is the card that I made using this stamp set:
List of Ingredients:
Cardstock: Kraft and Stamper's Select White (PTI)
Stamps: Baby Button Bits (PTI)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (Tsukineko)
Accessories: 2008 Bitty Dot Basics (PTI), Hawaiian Shores Luxe Satin Ribbon (PTI), Hawaiian Shores Vintage Buttons (PTI), Book Print Impression Plate (PTI), Tag Sale #1 Die (PTI), Twine, Mounting Foam, Glue Dots and Tombow Mono Adhesive.
This little fellow was another source of inspiration for my card, isn't he handsome?! I bought him at The Teddy Bear Shop on Monday. His name is Kembell, and he is patiently sitting in the moses basket, also waiting for our new family member to make an appearance. Waiting, waiting, waiting....;-).
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and if you're an Aussie...HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

I'm still here...
Apologies for the big delay between posts. If I knew where the Christmas/New Year period here had gone, I'd tell you...but I don't. It has just gone! We were here, and then there, and then back here...and somehow time has just completely gotten away from me.
I have managed a little crafting time, but have had very little inclination to post to my blog as my back is playing up (I guess a 38 weeks pregnant belly hanging off the front will do that to you ;-)... more on that later!
The project I have been working on was inspired by one by the super-talented Danielle Daws, who posted it on the 'UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! Year End Blow Out Edition 2010', which you can apply to join here:
I was fortunate enough to receive a complimentary membership to this group from my lovely blogging pal Paula Dobson (thank you so much Paula!).
Here are my creations:
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla and Kraft (SU)
Ink: Crumb Cake and Night of Navy Classic Ink (SU)
Stamps: Birthday Basics (PTI)
Accessories: Elegant Soiree DSP (SU), Enchanted Evening 1/2" Satin Ribbon (PTI), Orange Zest Buttons (PTI), Scallop Edge Border Punch (SU), Chipboard (retired SU), Linen Thread (SU), Pewter Jumbo Eyelets (SU), Tombow Adhesive (Penwa), Dimensionals (SU) and Mini Glue Dots (SU).
The last picture shows one of my suncatchers, and as this is going to a family member in Queensland I can only hope that it takes a little sunshine and good luck with it. They could really use it up there!
The crystal beads are Swarovski, and the glass lampwork bell beads are by Sari Glassman of Gaialai on Etsy, and you can see her beautiful beads much more clearly in this picture taken by her:
The glass lampwork wave beads in the earrings are by Candice of Beadgoodies on Etsy, and the pearls are Swarovski. I made these earrings to match a bracelet I gave at Christmas time (I didn't have enough beads at the time to finish the set):
...And to finish up, here is a slightly blurry (its hard to take one-handed belly shots in a mirror under crappy lights), but recent belly shot (37wks + 4 days):

Untold Stories: Enslaved People in the Home of the Grimke Family
By Louise W. Knight
Thursday, March 2, 2017, 7pm
When we think about how enslaved people responded to their bondage, we often think first of those who liberated themselves through the underground railroad, but this is only part of the story. Join us for a presentation by historian Louise W. Knight as she discusses some of the other ways people rebelled against enslavement, drawing on the stories of the enslaved people of the aristocratic Grimke family of Charleston, South Carolina. Pieced together from correspondence, white owners' published recollections, and "runaway" ads in newspapers, the stories illustrate the courage and resourcefulness with which people met their involuntary bondage.
This Women's History Month program is co-sponsored with the Evanston History Center and the Frances Willard Historical Association.

Ethics Advisory Opinion No. 26
June 16, 1999
Issued By: City Attorney's Office
Whether an individual who sits on the Greater Kelly Development Corporation may lobby members of the City Council.
A question has been posed as to whether a member of the Greater Kelly Development Corporation may represent a client before the City Council. The following facts are presented:
Resolution No. 96-03-01, passed and approved on January 18, 1996, established the creation of the Greater Kelly Development Corporation ("GKDC"). The GKDC is responsible for overseeing the redevelopment of Kelly Air Force Base as it moves from public operation to private ownership. A member of this board has lobbied members of the City Council on behalf of a client regarding a concession contract, an issue unrelated to those before the GKDC.
The issue is whether a board member may lobby members of the City Council given his position on the GKDC. Although Part A. Section 2[1]. of the Code of Ethics states that an "official" includes, among others, "members of all boards, commissions (except the Youth Commission whose members are minors), committees, and other bodies created by the City Council pursuant to federal or state law or City ordinance, including entities that may be advisory only in nature," a member of GKDC is not subject to the standards of conduct as set forth in the Code. He must, however, adhere to Chapter 171 of the Texas Local Government Code, pursuant to Section 4 of Resolution No. 96-03-01.
Under this chapter, a member of the GKDC is a local public official as defined therein. As such, he must refrain from taking official action on any matter in which he has a substantial interest. Should one arise, the member must recuse himself and file an affidavit with the GKDC's official record keeper. There appears to be no violation in the instant case because the issue for which the member represented his client was not one before the GKDC. Therefore, no official action was necessary.

Public Meeting on the Small Area Plan in the Vicinity of Hydraulic/ Route 29
The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, in conjunction with Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville, is conducting a small area plan in the Hydraulic / Route 29 area. A small area plan is a tool used to define a detailed plan for urban development and redevelopment in a focused area of strategic importance for the community. Small area plans also create road maps for implementation.
A public meeting on the Hydraulic Small Area Plan is scheduled for Wednesday, April 26, 2017 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM at Jack Jouett Middle School. The meeting will include a brief overview of the study intent, study area description, methodology for plan development, schedule and intended outcomes. An open discussion will follow, providing opportunity for the public to express ideas and concerns to the consultant team as input into the planning process.
The Hydraulic Small Area Plan - Phase I is intended to provide a conceptual approach to guide development and transportation solutions associated with the Hydraulic Road - Route 29 intersection and areas of influence within the study limits. This study is one of several projects funded through the Route 29 Solutions Projects, a $230 million dollar investment to improve infrastructure along the congested Route 29 corridor.
The Hydraulic Small Area Plan study area is experiencing steady growth, increased development intensity, and pressure to grow in a more dense, mixed-use development pattern that is unique to this portion of the County and the City. The study area is located within the jurisdictions of both the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Public input is essential to the planning process and a highly-engaged citizenry can provide critical guidance to ensure a plan that serves the community well. Please attend if you can and invite friends and family to join us!

A downloadable game
Created by pianotm, AtlasAtrium, Gourd_Clae, and Marrend
Waking up in the middle of a wasteland, a young girl has no idea who she is, or where she came from, until a vicious attack reveals that she's a machine. Fear and longing, uncertainty and hope; these are not things a machine should be able to feel and yet she does. Who built her? Why? Why her?
Tanner is fascinated by The Girl. He's worked with machines since he was a small child. He'd heard of legends of automatons like The Girl: machines so advanced they were nearly indistinguishable from humans, but he thought they were only a legend. He had heard the stories of an old tycoon so obsessed with immortality he had devised a way to store the human consciousness inside of a machine. Could this Girl be one of them?
Victor despises The Girl. He has dedicated his life to law and order and ever since he could remember, controlling automata has been crucial to that. There used to be a law that a machine that could emulate a human could not exist. That law was no longer functional, but it was still on the books, and if he can find a way to enforce it, he will. The Girl, a rogue machine masquerading as a human represents everything he considers a threat to society.
Pris wants people to feel safe. She became a police officer to protect people and to help them. She was soon disillusioned when her first tour of duty was in Burroughs City, assigned to Victor. Burroughs was unusually peaceful and crime free, but it came at the cost of the people's freedom, and Victor's cruelty. For a time Pris came to think it was necessary for a civil society, but she never really believed it. When The Girl arrives and Pris sees Victor's manic obsession with her, Pris begins to doubt her place in society, yet again. Protecting society had cost her an arm. She didn't want it to cost innocent people their lives.
- Story: Begin your quest to discover The Girl's past, who she is, and what she was meant for. The allies you make along the way will help you, but your enemies will stop at nothing to destroy you.
- Gameplay: Explore a Martian landscape, long after humanity has begun to leave Earth. Errant robots wander causing chaos. As long you're removing them, Victor doesn't have an excuse to pursue you.
- Party (Build your Own Robots): Collect scrap and parts from robots and use them to build companions to help you in combat.
- Combat: Mechanima uses Yami's Battle Symphony. Also, equip items to The Girl so she can use new skills, and determine the skills of your robots based on how you construct them.

Diversity helps businesses and communities thrive. It's that simple. When there are more options, more voices and more ideas, there are more opportunities for business excellence. While many organizations focus on cultivating a diverse workforce that can offer a variety of ideas and strengths, it's equally as important to ensure your business supply base includes diverse vendors.

Female MMA fighter Amanda Nunes is set to make her octagon debut against German heavy hitter, Sheila Gaff at the UFC 163 event set for August 3rd in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The news was revealed by the UFC only hours ago. At this time it is thought verbal agreements are in place for both fighters.
Nunes has been fighting professionally as a mixed martial artist since 2008 and has picked up a series of knockout wins. Gaff made an unsuccessful octagon debut in April when she suffered a first round TKO at the hands of Sara McMann on the UFC 159 card.

The ocean holds me in an enduring spell. Part of the spell comes from mystery – the fourfold mystery of the shoreline, the surface, the horizon, and the timeless motion of the sea. At the horizon, where my line of sight touches the edge of the great globe itself, I watch ships slowly disappear, first the hulls then the tall masts, bound on voyages to unknown ports 10,000 miles away. From beyond the horizon come the waves that break rhythmically on the beach, sounding now loud, now soft, as they did long before I was born and as they will in the far future. The restless, ever-changing ocean is timeless on the scale of my life, and this also is a mystery.
The majority of my life so far has been spent in cities either by the Pacific Ocean or in the Sonoran Desert, and I think my familiarity with the two environments and their contrasts has instilled a deep appreciation in me for both.
This sense of fascination and connection with the sea was my inspiration for this work
This and my mural for Northeastern University in Boston last year were both important projects for me, as one of my motivations for painting public art is to uplift and inspire others the way I was uplifted and inspired by great art when I was young. Painting murals for learning institutions is a chance to create art that will become part of the landscape for thousands of students, and I am grateful for these opportunities to impart some artistic soul in such important places.
Many thanks to UCSD, Emily Desai, Juli Smith, and anyone else that helped make this possible.

In his weekly column, which should be called Sorry I'm Not Dave Barry, Gene Weingarten writes about "Stories Too Good to Check" -- STGTC, for short -- namely stories that sound fantastic but, in layman's lingo, are too good to be true.
I know what you're thinking: "That's the entire Washington Post, minus the classifieds."
Or: "That's the entire New York Times, including the classifieds."
As Weingarten explains:
An STGTC is invariably a crushing disappointment to the poor reporter who gets it. He winds up with raised hopes, a lot of work and, ultimately, no story. When I surveyed my colleagues at The Washington Post, many solemnly responded that they'd had plenty of STGTCs in their careers but that they'd managed to erase them from their memories, like the pain of childbirth. For others, the wounds are still raw.And, of course, there's also Dan Rather and Mary Mapes.

Dell and Lenovo have been appointed the first vendors to sell to NSW Government agencies under the state's new IT hardware procurement arrangement.
Procurement through the panel will be between $92 million and $93 million per annum, according to 2011-12 figures from the Department of Finance and Service's (DFS) annual report.
The new panel covers only end-user devices such as PCs, laptops, monitors and thin clients. Such products came within the scope of the former whole-of-government hardware panel.
The government plans to bring storage, server systems and virtualisation technologies – currently supplied under state contract 2846 – within the scope of the new hardware agreement before April 2014.
In the longer term the new umbrella contract will also include the procurement of printers and imaging devices, worth roughly $40 million per year.
Dell and Lenovo will be joined by more suppliers as contract negotiations are finalised.
The new arrangement reflects a change in approach to coordinated procurement from the NSW Government.
Rather than best-price bidding processes of the past which produce a fixed panel of accredited suppliers, vendors need only to commit to a maximum price benchmark in order to be included under the new scheme. The new agreement allows suppliers to be selected at any time during the contract.
DFS has warned buyers that the ceiling prices for the various units covered by the arrangement will rise from 1 August due to movements in the US dollar.
"Due to recent movements since prices were negotiated that adjustment is likely to represent a 10 percent or greater increase in price for standard desktops and laptops," the ProcurePoint website advised.
The NSW Government has elected to move away from a fixed supplier panel, where a limited list of companies are assured access to agency buyers in exchange for discounted rates, despite the proclaimed success of the model at the federal level.
Australian Government CTO John Sheridan said in June federal agencies were now paying 50 percent below the national average for desktop hardware. Prior to the establishment of the government's whole-of-government hardware panel in 2010 agencies had been paying 55 percent above national average.

Some fresh ideas about twistorialization of TGD
I found from web an article by Tim Adamo titled "Twistor actions for gauge theory and gravity". The work considers the formulation of N=4 SUSY gauge theory directly in twistor space instead of Minkowski space. The author is able to deduce MHV formalism, tree level amplitudes, and planar loop amplitudes from action in twistor space. Also local operators and null polygonal Wilson loops can be expressed twistorially. This approach is applied also to general relativity: one of the challenges is to deduce MHV amplitudes for Einstein gravity. The reading of the article inspired a fresh look on twistors and a possible answer to several questions (I have written two chapters about twistors and TGD giving a view about development of ideas).
Both M4 and CP2 are highly unique in that they allow twistor structure and in TGD one can overcome the fundamental "googly" problem of the standard twistor program preventing twistorialization in general space-time metric by lifting twistorialization to the level of the imbedding space containg M4 as a Cartesian factor. Also CP2 allows twistor space identifiable as flag manifold SU(3)/U(1)× U(1) as the self-duality of Weyl tensor indeed suggests. This provides an additional "must" in favor of sub-manifold gravity in M4× CP2. Both octonionic interpretation of M8 and triality possible in dimension 8 play a crucial role in the proposed twistorialization of H=M4× CP2. It also turns out that M4× CP2 allows a natural twistorialization respecting Cartesian product: this is far from obvious since it means that one considers space-like geodesics of H with light-like M4 projection as basic objects. p-Adic mass calculations however require tachyonic ground states and in generalized Feynman diagrams fermions propagate as massless particles in M4 sense. Furthermore, light-like H-geodesics lead to non-compact candidates for the twistor space of H. Hence the twistor space would be 12-dimensional manifold CP3× SU(3)/U(1)× U(1).
Generalisation of 2-D conformal invariance extending to infinite-D variant of Yangian symmetry; light-like 3-surfaces as basic objects of TGD Universe and as generalised light-like geodesics; light-likeness condition for momentum generalized to the infinite-dimensional context via super-conformal algebras. These are the facts inspiring the question whether also the "world of classical worlds" (WCW) could allow twistorialization. It turns out that center of mass degrees of freedom (imbedding space) allow natural twistorialization: twistor space for M4× CP2 serves as moduli space for choice of quantization axes in Super Virasoro conditions. Contrary to the original optimistic expectations it turns out that although the analog of incidence relations holds true for Kac-Moody algebra, twistorialization in vibrational degrees of freedom does not look like a good idea since incidence relations force an effective reduction of vibrational degrees of freedom to four. The Grassmannian formalism for scattering amplitudes generalizes practically as such for generalized Feynman diagrams.
For background and details see the new chapter Some fresh ideas about twistorialization of TGD or the article with the same title.

Bolivian-born Gustavo Ribero, 33, moved to Miami at age 14 and began working in the restaurant industry. He left for college with the dream of becoming a doctor, then realized cooking was his passion. Following his calling, he attended Johnson & Wales, scored a gig at Marriott hotels, and went on to help open Bizcaya at the Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove. A few years later, he joined his brother-in-law, Giuseppe, owner of Anacapri in Coral Gables, as chef.
I'm sure all the dishes on each of your menus are like your children, but if you had to choose only one dish from the menu, which ones are you most proud of?
Our A'Malafemmina. It is among our most popular dishes and is perfect for seafood lovers. The dish fuses the Italian culture with the abundance of seafood in Miami.
Most popular item on the menu?
Our Fiocchi. These are pear- and ricotta-stuffed pasta that look like a little purses topped with a creamy Gorgonzola sauce. The sweetness of the pear and sharpness of Gorgonzola both beautifully contrast and compliment each other.
How would you describe Miami's dining scene?
Multicultural. There's a little bit of everything here, which gives our locals plenty to choose from. And there is also many interpretations of each cuisine. The one thing, for sure, is that our dining scene is far from boring.
The secret to cooking perfect pasta?
This may be textbook, but it is still a rule: do not overcook the pasta. Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling water and take it out when it is al dente – firm, but not hard.
At what point did you realize you were destined to be a chef?
I've been in the kitchen since I was 14 years old, but at that age and up to age 20, I dreamed of being a doctor. And then one day while in college, I realized cooking was my passion. My mom was a great cook, and it was also part of the family business, so naturally this was a part of me. I just hadn't realized this until that point.
The five ingredients every kitchen should have?
Salt, tomato, fresh herbs, cheese, and olive oil.
The 5 utensils every kitchen should have?
A grater, a peeler, a good set of knives, non-stick pans, and a strainer.
First dish you learned to make?
While my mother was away, a stew for my father at 12.
Favorite dish to make at home?
As a chef, you don't spend much time with your family, so you need to enjoy every minute. Cooking at my home needs to be fun. It's an activity we do with the kids to teach them about food and the business, so we make pizza margherita and other variations.
What could you live off of for the rest of your life if you had to?
Pasta, and I'm not even Italian.
What's your favorite aspect of working and cooking for Anacapri?
Anacapri is like home. It is a family business. One of the things I truly enjoy is that this is not the typical Italian restaurant. If you come in and don't see what you want on the menu, I will cook something special for you.

Swiss & Global's Michal Novak sees Swiss fixed income as an overlooked asset class
Michal Novak, fund manager, JB Swiss Franc Bond Fund at Swiss & Global, sees increasing diversification of instruments and issuers in the CHF bond market as key reasons why investors should consider the asset class.
Michal Novak, fund manager, JB Swiss Franc Bond Fund at Swiss & Global, sees increasing diversification of instruments and issuers in the CHF bond market as key reasons why investors should consider the asset class.
Following a protracted global trend towards lower yields, the yield on ten-year Swiss Confederation bonds bottomed out at 0.37% in December 2012. A trend reversal followed in 2013, with the figure rising to an interim high of 1.28% at the start of 2014. This yield increase went hand-in-hand with negative performance of the overall bond market, which shed 1.30% last year. While this hardly underscores the appeal of the asset class, it nevertheless reveals opportunities.
Foreign issuers of CHF bonds are mostly banks and supranational entities. This segment has grown in recent years and thanks to its diversification in terms of both geography and credit ratings, the segment offers a number of interesting investment stories. As the geographical spread of issuers has broadened, an increasing number of borrowers from emerging markets have made their way onto the Swiss market. The share of foreign issuers accounted for by emerging markets has risen from 5% to more than 10% in the past five years. This stems on the one hand from their improved credit ratings and on the other hand from the average size of a bond denominated in CHF. Whereas hundreds of millions or even billions are needed to find investors with € or $ bonds, CHF100-250m is ample on the Swiss market. This offers an elegant solution for even minor refinancing needs.
A combination of an increase in borrowers from emerging markets, together with a series of rating downgrades, has prompted the share of foreign issuers rated BBB to grow from 3% to over 13%. At the same time, the AAA rating segment of foreign issuers has shrunk from over 42% to less than 26%. Has this meant a corresponding increase in risk? Not necessarily. The importance of the diversification effect must not be underestimated, and this has improved markedly. The number of foreign borrowers has almost doubled with the addition of some 200 new names. In addition, the regional coverage now extends all around the globe. Another boon for risk-aware investors is that the low credit ratings are largely concentrated among shorter maturities, so the risk remains manageable.
The uptrend in yields that is currently under way is not a one-way street. This was made clear at the start of the year. While the central banks' normalisation efforts continue, yields will not keep rising steadily. Instead, they will be subject to repeated countermoves. These fluctuations are opportunities that can only be exploited with an active strategy. A disciplined approach is crucial in order to limit losses incurred by interpreting signals incorrectly.
The level of yields and the steepness of the yield curve are also key factors. The spread between two-year and ten-year CHF swap rates is still considerable at 110 basis points. Investors can profit from this in two ways: the carry effect, whereby the higher yield level is reflected in current income, and the roll-down effect, which is the time effect of holding a position. Given the current environment for CHF bonds, the combination of the carry effect and roll-down effect compensate for a yield increase of around 30-35 basis points a year.
On the credit side, spreads have now reached levels last witnessed prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers. While this is partly justified by improved balance sheets, recent developments mean caution is advisable, including where companies borrow in order to pay out dividends, buy back their own shares or make acquisitions. These issues must be analysed carefully. Investors desperately seeking somewhere to place their money often succumb to the temptation of higher returns offered by lower-rated paper and in doing so, underestimate how illiquid this segment of the market can become in a stress scenario. Offsetting a slightly shorter duration to hedge against rising yields with an increased credit position has paid off so far, but it is likely to become more difficult going forward. Selecting the right sectors and borrowers and avoiding certain investments will be the key success factors.
The situation outlined above clearly calls for an active investment style that takes account of all dimensions. The diversification of the CHF bond market in recent years has brought greater opportunities that make it possible to spread security-specific risk more effectively and take up positions that would not have been viable in the past. The quality of the market remains good. Looking at the structural levels of GDP growth and inflation, yields seem fair to cheap at present. During "risk-off" phases in particular, the CHF market proves its worth time and again as a safe haven and tends to outperform. Active duration management on the yield side and security-specific decisions on the credit side will be key to successfully exploiting opportunities in this overlooked market.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of teaching Thistle and Clover class. With new skills to learn, both classes enjoyed creating simple algorithims, sequences of exact instructions in order to direct their friends correctly to a specified location. Thistle class were treasure hunters, giving directions using just forwards, backwards, left and right to their friends to find the box of treasure. With clover class we took over the playground, which became outer space for the afternoon. The children worked brilliantly to give clear instructions to arrive at each planet and even the International Space Station! This was computing in a way that the children had not seen before, but they were just brilliant and a joy to teach.
Here they all are in action, with some comments from clover class at the end.

I'm fan of Fabian Haeusermann' works, I love the resized-repetition process he uses to create his pieces. Fabian was the author for the fourth Special Post here at Triangulation where you can see his previous work.
Most of Fabian Haeusermann' works are quite small (A4 and smaller), he often uses a technical ink pen that allows him to work precise. "It's a brilliant tool for the cross-hatch technique: It allows you to shade the drawing until it's almost black - but you still can see the textures." See more;
"My works are usually based on clear geometric shapes like circles, triangles, rectangles... No matter how many details the image contains: It should be based on a clear composition. I like the combination of details / fine textures and clear geometric shapes. I prefer to have a vision of the geometric composition before I start to draw. Most images are concentric, they have a clear center. I also like symmetry. I try to use as little colors as possible. Colors should have a clear function, a symbolic meaning instead of just beeing sweet and decorative.
I also like to use the computer to downsize what I've drawn on paper, then print the reduced size version on a new A4 paper and go on drawing ...As soon as I've filled the new A4 paper I downsize and print it again etc. etc." - Fabian Haeusermann

CALGARY — A judge has found a man guilty of inflicting a fatal brain injury on his young grandson five months after the boy was sent to Canada from Mexico so he could have a better life.
Allan Perdomo Lopez, 59, was charged with manslaughter in the death of five-year-old Emilio Perdomo.
Prosecutor Vicki Faulkner said Emilio's family in Mexico remember him as a happy, outgoing child.
"They told us what a wonderful, sweet little boy he was, always saying 'hi' to people on the street, and so smart. He had such promise," Faulkner said Wednesday after Queen's Bench Justice Richard Neufeld gave his verdict.
During the trial, the Crown played a police recording from the family minivan of Perdomo Lopez tearfully praying in Spanish.
An English transcript of the intercept submitted at trial said the man was asking for forgiveness and saying he "didn't want to kill that child."
The prayer was one of 11 police recordings from the accused's vehicle, home and phone that were presented as evidence.
Perdomo Lopez's lawyer had said the remark was not a confession and that the Crown cherry-picked segments of the recordings to construct its story.
The judge said in his decision that the prayer had to be given great weight given the man's devout Christian faith. He likened it to a witness swearing to God to tell the truth in court.
"I am satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Perdomo confessed to having killed Emilio, even though he did not want to do so," Neufeld said.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Sept. 24 and Perdomo Lopez is to be under house arrest until then. A manslaughter conviction carries a maximum life sentence and lawyers wouldn't say what sentence they will seek.
Court heard the boy was taken to hospital unconscious on July 9, 2015, and underwent emergency brain surgery. Emilio never woke up and died eight days later.
Neufeld said he accepted testimony from medical professionals that Emilio's extensive brain bleed was the result of a sudden injury that happened shortly before he was taken to hospital.
Perdomo Lopez suggested in his statement to police that there had been no fall or other injury that day, but that Emilio was clumsy and had earlier fallen from his bike, into a window well and down the stairs. He also suggested some injuries dated back to Emilio's time in Mexico.
"I have concluded that his version of events … is not believable or reliable," Neufeld ruled. "It contains both internal and external inconsistencies and contradictions."
During the trial, court was shown photos of bruises and scars in various stages of healing all over Emilio's body. The injuries were not visible in photos of the child when he was in Mexico or shortly after he arrived in Canada.
Defence lawyer Darren Mahoney suggested at trial there were other reasonable conclusions the judge could draw, including that the boy's death was an accident or that someone else in the household could have assaulted him.
He said his client was disappointed and that lawyers will analyze Neufeld's verdict before deciding whether to appeal.
"Obviously it's a lot to absorb when you're convicted of a serious crime, but he's aware that his legal team continues to look at his alternatives."
Mahoney said his client hasn't seen his daughters, who are now adults, in three years and he has no income, since he and his wife have both lost their jobs. Carolina Perdomo was also accused initially, but the Crown stayed the charge against her earlier this year.

Under Mike Schaers' guidance, software developers were tasked with creating a product to answer a growing need for this industry. In the early 80s, the company expanded into the home medical equipment (HME) industry when a customer needed new functionality to process medical claims and track medical oxygen. Then in 2010, the company acquired a local software company servicing the needs of the audiology and speech, language & pathology industries.
Computers Unlimited prides itself on listening to the needs of its customers. Says David, "The new frontier is about connected and open systems. We are achieving this by making TIMS mobile and the TIMS platform open. The world has gone mobile and so has TIMS."
David added, "The development of 3 new smartphone apps called TIMS Assistant, TIMS Delivery, and TIMS Plant are a reflection of our DNA – our people make it happen. I'm very proud of the fact that our staff members are long-term, which is something you don't see too often in today's business climate.

Space.com: New Station Crew Was Launched Despite Safety Warnings
Although some experts thought that there were several safety issues that needed to be resolved, NASA gave the okay for Russia to launch the latest crew to the International Space Station.
Robert Mirelson, said there was a full discussion by mid- and management-level engineers and it was their conclusion that despite the experts' concerns, the launch would be "well within the parameters of safety."
Haven't we heard that one before? The systems in question are unreliable medical equipment and air and water monitoring devices. And the complete lack of a radiation detector.
Oh, that's all?
And this is the most troubling of all:
The Washington Post reported Thursday, however, that two officials overseeing health and environmental conditions on the space station didn't sign off on the launch, instead signing a dissent that warned about "the continued degradation" of the environmental monitoring and health maintenance systems and exercise equipment vital to the astronauts' well being.
They went ahead and launched even though the officials overseeing the systems in question not only didn't sign off, but instead issued a warning of the dangers.
Is this the new safety-first NASA in action?
The new mission commander was told that the monitoring devices weren't working properly, but there was not any reason to suspect that air or water conditions were at risk.
Well, without the monitoring equipment, we don't know, do we? And if something did go wrong, would they know in time without reliable sensors? NASA's response is basically that the astronauts can abandon ship if something goes wrong.
This is maybe being overblown, but I think that's justified in the wake of Columbia. NASA like to point out that the crew of the ISS says they're confident that everything is fine. Well, I'm sure the seven astronauts aboard the Columbia felt that way also. As did the crew and passengers aboard the Titanic.
If anything, NASA should be falling all over itself to over-protect its people. That they seem to be doing exactly the opposite mystifies me.

SugarCRM Launches European Headquarters in Dublin, Ireland
As Momentum for SugarCRM Grows In Germany, France, Netherlands, UK and Ireland
DUBLIN, Ireland (March 5, 2007), SugarCRM Inc. the world's leading provider of commercial open source customer relationship management (CRM) software, today announced the opening of Sugar Europe located in Dublin. Based on growing demand across Europe, the new office will foster close relationships with SugarCRM's customers, partners and user communities across the continent. Clint Oram, a co-founder of SugarCRM, will serve as General Manager of Sugar Europe and will lead the European team from Dublin, Ireland.
Growing Open Source Demand in Europe
Over the last three years, SugarCRM has seen widespread adoption across Europe with its strongest growth in France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Currently, about one-quarter of SugarCRM's commercial customers are located in Europe and more than 30 percent of Sugar Open Source downloads take place in Europe.
"The establishment of Sugar Europe signifies the importance of Europe as a key driver in the success of our commercial open source model," said Clint Oram, co-founder and general manager of Sugar Europe. "Our strong partner base throughout Europe, the advanced multi-lingual capabilities of our application, and the embrace of open source by European governments and businesses has pulled us quickly into the European markets. The establishment of Sugar Europe will allow us to more directly serve existing customers and partners while extending our presence in Europe."
Customer and Partner Success
"As a Dublin-based customer and soon-to-be neighbour, we'd like to welcome SugarCRM to Europe, and especially here to Dublin, the centre of gravity for software and high-tech in the EU," said Jarlath Dooley, director of business operations, FINEOS Corporation. "We selected SugarCRM over Salesforce.com after an exhaustive comparison and rely heavily on Sugar as a core part of our business. FINEOS is a global provider of innovative componentized software solutions for the insurance, government social insurance and banking industries, all of whom expect extremely high standards in our abilities to communicate and service them. For our demanding sales management process conditions, Sugar was just plain better."
Synolia, the first SugarCRM partner, located in Lyon, France, has successfully deployed SugarCRM to a wide range of companies in France. Most recently, Synolia implemented Sugar Professional for 140 employees of Corona Medical, a provider of furnishings and equipment to hospitals and health centres, located in Tours, France. Synolia tied SugarCRM into Corona's ERP and eCommerce system to deliver an end-to-end CRM solution. "We wanted a solution that could adapt to the specific needs of our company," said Laurent Guenier, IT manager at Corona Medical. "SugarCRM's architecture allows us to develop complementary modules more easily than with a proprietary CRM and to tie it into our existing systems."
Optaros is a global consulting and systems integration firm that provides enterprise clients with IT solutions leveraging open source software. "Our partnership with Sugar gives Optaros a valuable component in assembling solutions for our clients across Europe and North America" said Frederic Weill, managing director, Optaros Europe. "Rather than offer a packaged or completely custom-built solution, Optaros offers a third alternative: best of breed solutions based on open source and open standards, where SugarCRM fits very nicely. Sugar's increased presence in Europe will help us continue to provide rock-solid service to our clients."
Based in Luxembourg, euroscript Group is a leader in innovative solutions in multilingual document lifecycle management, a critical technology in today's fast paced business world. "We implemented SugarCRM internally to help us better organise information and communicate with customers," said Dr Michael Schaffner, general manager of the euroscript Group Germany. "We provide our customers with extensive and solutions-oriented support for their information and communication processes. A flexible, customisable CRM solution like Sugar was just what we needed." The euroscript project was implemented together with the Hamburg-based SugarCRM Partner Genius4U Limited, which has deployed numerous SugarCRM projects across Europe.
2007 Plans
In addition to hiring an experienced local team in Dublin during 2007, Sugar Europe will focus on delivering full localisation of support materials for the French and German markets, expanding the Sugar On-Demand infrastructure, and raising awareness of the benefits of the commercial open source market in Europe.
As of today, parties interested in recruiting, partnerships and customer solutions can contact Sugar Europe at email@example.com .

As authorities struggle to avert catastrophe at a crippled nuclear-power complex 150 miles to the north, Tokyo faced a test of nerves.
Some residents are leaving, some are applying for passports or hoarding what they can - from food to cash and gold, a safe haven during times of crisis.
At the second-floor office of the Tokyo Passport Centre in the city's Yurakucho district, queues snaked to the first floor.
"We don't know the reason but suddenly since yesterday we have had 1.5 times more people than usual coming to apply for a passport or to enquire about getting one," said Shigeaki Ohashi, an official at the passport centre.
Areas usually packed with office workers crammed into sushi restaurants and noodle shops have gone quiet. Many schools are closed. Companies have allowed workers to stay home and voluntarily cut power usage, submerging parts of the typically neon-lit city in darkness.
Banri Kaieda, the trade minister, said unexpected, large-scale power outages were possible but unlikley as an unusually crisp, pink sunset bathed the city.
At Mizuho Bank branches, ATMs went down for about two hours in the morning, and failed again in the evening. The bank said its troubles were due to a concentration of transactions at some unidentified branches.
The ATMs went down for about two hours in the morning, and failed again in the evening. Customers also could not make foreign currency withdrawals and other transactions.
Outside a Mizuho branch in Tokyo's Akasaka district, six staff stood in the cold winter air apologising to customers.
"This taught me a lesson that I have to have at least some amount of cash with me," said Hiromi Sugita, a 42-year-old insurance agent as she left the branch.
Many people have stocked up food, milk and rice, emptying some shelves at supermarkets. Thousands have showed up at nearby airports without tickets, hoping to book flights out.
"Life and health are the priority over cost in doing this, so I'm escaping Japan even though I don't feel like it," said La Ha-Na, a South Korean student living in Tokyo.
Television showed busloads of people leaving the city.
