FENDI MOD. SL 7295 Sunglasses. I required this pair sunglasses in 2003 at a local vintage shop NYC. D.B.L. 12mm with massive 63mm lens.
I like the lavish playboy, retro feel to it. It looks like what my grandpa would wear in 50's. The black frame is what I love the most about. The brown gradient is done very nicely too. What I dislike the most about will be the FENDI logo on the bridge, it shout out "FENDI" a bit too much to my usual liking. FENDI brand was a concern for me before the purchase. Since the brand image is more feminine. Soon the thought went over my head because If FENDI put up a MENS sunglasses, it meant to be wear by MEN. What's to worry right. This pair was meant to go with my brown suit but it goes nice with jeans & white T also.
It looks surprisingly nice on me. It is also irreplaceable in my sunglasses collection. There are times it is the only sunglasses that will present my outfit properly.
It is not a pair of sunglasses I would say, I LOVE it to death but I might not be able to walk out the door without it.
Second Harvest Japan (2HJ) recently started using a QR-code scanning system for its food inventory management. 2HJ has been doing the inventory management on a database system, but inputting data had been done manually. 2HJ staffers kept track of records on paper and input the data into the system.
This took time and caused mistakes. 2HJ has many volunteer drivers to deliver food to its partner agencies, and it was not easy for the volunteers to keep track of food donations. 2HJ staff always wanted a better system to manage the inventory. 2HJ staffer, Akira Kawada, worked with a QR-code system company, Sato, and recently launched the system.
How the QR code system works
1) Input the data of incoming donations: We input all the information about a donation such as a product name, an amount, and receiving date.
2) Print a label: When a delivery approaches, we print labels and put them on boxes accordingly. The label not only contains the information about the products but also mentions the product is not for sale and our contact information.
3) Read the label: When delivering food items to our partner agency, we use a QR hand scanner to read a QR code on the label to store the information about what items were delivered to which agency.
4) Issue a receipt: After reading a label, a mobile printer prints two copies of receipts. The agency staff member signs the copies, and they keep one copy and 2HJ keeps the other copy.
5) Sync the database: Once the truck comes back to the 2HJ office, we connect the hand scanner with a computer so that the scanner syncs with the database.
6) Print the delivery record: The system manages the information about what was given to who and when. It can print out the data quickly.

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!

L’impact sanitaire de la pollution de l’air coûte chaque année 1 400 milliards d’euros à l’Europe
Plus de 1 600 milliards de dollars (1 400 milliards d’euros) : c’est ce que coûte chaque année aux économies européennes les quelque 600 000 décès prématurés et pathologies engendrés par la pollution de l’air. Voilà la conclusion édifiante d’une évaluation publiée mardi 28 avril par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE), portant sur 53 pays de la région Europe.
Une facture qui, pour la France, pourrait être encore alourdie par le nouvel avertissement adressé par la Commission européenne, mercredi 29 avril. Bruxelles menace l’Hexagone d’un renvoi en justice s’il ne prend pas « dans un délai de deux mois » des « mesures ambitieuses, rapides et efficaces » pour limiter la pollution aux particules fines dans dix agglomérations, dont Paris et Lyon. Ce rappel à l’ordre n’est pas le premier. En 2011, la Commission avait déjà tiré la sonnette d’alarme menaçant la France d’une amende pouvant théoriquement aller de 10 à 30 millions d’euros.
600 000 décès prématurés
En 2012, dans les 53 pays européens, allant de l’Islande au Kazakhstan, étudiés par l’OMS et l’OCDE, la pollution atmosphérique a entraîné 482 000 décès prématurés. Une surmortalité provoquée par des maladies cardiaques et respiratoires, des maladies coronariennes, des accidents vasculaires cérébraux ou encore le cancer du poumon.
Il faut encore ajouter 117 200 décès entraînés par la pollution de l’air intérieur, essentiellement dans les pays à revenus faibles et moyens où les foyers ouverts, encore souvent utilisés à l’intérieur des habitations, émettent de nombreux polluants. Au total, la pollution de l’air extérieur et intérieur a causé quelque 600 000 décès prématurés. Si ce nombre tend légèrement à reculer – il était de 663 000 en 2010 et de 786 000 en 2005 –, son coût économique croît.
Coût « exorbitant »
A lui seul, le coût de ces décès atteignait en 2010 plus de 1 431 milliards de dollars (1 299 milliards d’euros) soit 13,7 % de plus qu’en 2005. Si cette hausse s’explique par une meilleure prise en charge des personnes affectées, ce coût n’en reste pas moins « exorbitant ».
D’autant qu’à ce coût des décès prématurés s’ajoute celui du traitement des maladies provoquées par la pollution, ce qui porte le bilan annuel total de l’impact sanitaire de la pollution de l’air à 1 600 milliards de dollars (1 400 milliards d’euros). Un montant qui pèse lourdement sur l’économie des pays.
Dans nombre des 44 pays européens où l’OMS et l’OCDE ont pu recueillir les données nécessaires, ce coût représente entre 1 % et 10 % du produit intérieur brut (PIB) national. En France, ce montant, évalué à 53 295 millions de dollars (48 378 millions d’euros), s’élève à 2,3 % du PIB national ; au Royaume-Uni, à 3,7 %, et en Allemagne, à 4,5 %.
Lire aussi : Le Sénat lance une enquête sur le coût économique de la pollution
Dans une dizaine de pays (l’Ukraine, la Serbie, la Moldavie, la Géorgie, la Bulgarie notamment), il atteint même plus de 20 %. La Suède, la Norvège, l’Islande et la Finlande sont les seuls pays où le coût des décès et maladies dus à la pollution de l’air pèse moins de 1 % du PIB national.
« Raison impérieuse d’agir »
« L’impact sanitaire de la pollution pèse aussi sur les budgets des administrations publiques, des hôpitaux et des ménages », soulignent les auteurs de l’étude, tout en rappelant que les conséquences délétères de ce fléau ne se limitent pas à la santé mais ont aussi un impact sur la productivité agricole et l’environnement.

Plaidoyer d'un homme libre
« Les sommets sur le climat se succèdent, nous croulons sous l'avalanche de rapports plus alarmants les uns que les autres. Et l'on se rassure avec une multitude de déclarations d'intention et de bonnes résolutions. Si la prise de conscience progresse, sa traduction concrète reste dérisoire. L'humanité doit se ressaisir, sortir de son indifférence et faire naître un monde qui prend enfin soin de lui. »
Nicolas Hulot, Président de la Fondation Nicolas Hulot pour la Nature et l'Homme
Ce manifeste écrit par Nicolas Hulot est un cri du coeur, un plaidoyer pour l'action, un ultime appel à la mobilisation et un coup de poing sur la table des négociations climat avant le grand rendez-vous de la COP21. Il engage chacun à apporter sa contribution dans l'écriture d'un nouveau chapitre de l'aventure humaine, à nous changer nous mêmes et par ce biais à changer le monde.
Diagnostic implacable, constat lucide mais surtout propositions concrètes pour les responsables politiques et pistes d'action accessibles pour chacun d'entre nous, cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de son engagement et de sa vision en toute liberté des solutions à « prescrire » avant et après la COP21. L'urgence est à l'action. En 12 propositions concrètes, Nicolas Hulot dresse, avec sa Fondation, une feuille de route alternative pour les États et suggère 10 engagements individuels pour que chacun puisse également faire bouger les lignes à son niveau.
Depuis 40 ans, Nicolas Hulot parcourt la planète. Témoin de sa lente destruction, il a décidé de devenir un des acteurs de sa reconstruction. Au côté de sa Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme ou en parlant aux oreilles des décideurs, il contribue à faire évoluer les mentalités.

Bedfordshire Police were using Vauxhall Viva’s from the late 60’s, when they were used alongside Mini’s as panda cars.
The photograph shows a Viva HC, which was one of the later versions of the car, marked in the "red stripe" style instead of the normal blue & white two-tone.
As Vauxhall was a Bedfordshire company, the force had a long tradition of using their vehicles and the Viva was no exception. Production of the Viva was split between Luton and Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Beginning in 1963, over 1.5 million vehicles were produced, with the millionth car rolling out of the Luton factory in 1971. Production ceased in 1979, and the car was replaced by the Vauxhall Chevette
At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public."
We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk

The Salzburg Cathedral (German: Salzburger Dom) is a 17th century baroque cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Salzburg in the city of Salzburg, dedicated to Saint Rupert of Salzburg.
It is the site of Mozart's baptism. And the composer Anton Diabelli sang in the Salzburg Cathedral boys' choir in the late 1700s.
The first cathedral was built under Saint Vergilius of Salzburg, who might have used foundations by St. Rupert. The first Dom was recorded in 774. The so-called Virgil Dom was built from 767 to 774 and was 66 metres long and 33 metres wide.
Inside the cathedral
Archbishop Arno (785 – 821) was the first to arrange renovations of the Dom, which was in place for less than 70 years. In 842, the building burned down after being struck by lightning. Three years later, the re-erection of the building started.
Under Archbishop Hartwig, a choir with a crypt was built towards West between 1000 and 1020. Under Archbishop Konrad I., the West-towers were built from 1106 to 1147.
This original church thus experienced at least three extensive building and rebuilding campaigns during the early Middle Ages, the final result of which was a somewhat ad hoc Romanesque basilica. In 1598, the basilica was severely damaged, and after several failed attempts at restoration and reconstruction, the building was finally ordered to be demolished by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich (Archbishop from 1587–1612). Wolf Dietrich was a patron and supporter of modern Italian baroque architecture, having seen it from its origins in Italy and particularly Rome. Indeed, it was Wolf Dietrich who was also responsible for the building of the nearby Alten Residenz, which is today connected to the cathedral.

the purchase
PHOTO NUMBER 1 OF 3
Walking into an old shop with relics and antiques in China Town, the old Chinese man handed the minipimp an umbrella.
"Ah yes, 'mbella you want? That be 5 dolla", said the man that seemed to be about 500 years old. The young girl handed the man her weekly allowance.
This was it thought the girl. The ad in the newspaper clipping she found on the city streets claimed that this umbrella was magic.
"Yes yes you see right here you just wave around like this kay? You do real good kay honey?", said the man in a very fast voice while waving around the umbrella. Minipimp assumed this was his way of giving instruction on how to use it.
"Seems easy enough", she thought to herself.
So the little girl walked outside and down to the end of the block. She twirled the umbrella around. She waved it up and down. She tapped it against a building. She shoved it into a hole made for recycled cans. She twirled it, waved it, and bounced it.
Nothing.
And just as she was about to give up, she looked over at the shop she purchased this umbrella. And inside the display she saw the Chinese man. And from she could make out, he kind of winked at her. She found this most bizarre because it was not the kind of expression you would typically get from an old Asian man.
But just as he did, he seemed to disappear. Or maybe he fell. Or maybe she wasn't seeing it correctly through the stained glass window. She wasn't sure.
But what she does know is that the minute the man seemed to disappear, something actually appeared on the umbrella.

Using the egyptian blue lotus, which is similar to our waterlily, as my inspiration, I created this statement necklace for the November Etsy Beadweavers Team Challenge.
The focal piece is a combination of bead embroidery and beadweaving using peyote, brick and picot stitches in the weaving as well as couching in the embroidery. Ten Swarovski Rivolios are bezeled in peyote on the pendant forming the centers of the flowers that float on their lily pads in the river. The pendant is backed in soft suede leather. The necklace portion is made of triple strands of freeform weaving in shades of green and blue and closes with a sterling silver toggle.
Nymo thread was used throughout, and glass sead beads ranging from size 11 to size 15 create the bulk of the piece with a few accent beads in size 8. All the beadweaving done in this piece was done without a loom - just thread and a very fine needle.
The rivolis on the focal pendant are either 12 or 14 mm in diameter. The pendant itself is 4.75 inches x 2.5 inches (12 cm x 6.3 cm). The necklace is 8 inches (20.3 cm) long

Using an aperture of f16 and a slow shutter speed (1/6) the passing train is put out of focus and blurred while the girl remains in focus. The speed of the train creates very strong horizontal lines which is juxtaposed with the vertical, stillness of the girl.

... on an Epson R-D1x using a Novoflex LEM/LEI adapter for LTM lenses to Leica M-Mount bayonet.
Caveat emptor: That adapter does not allow this lens to be focused to infinity because of the spring-loaded infinity-locking bolt. You have to focus the lens to around 10 meters before mounting the adapter. In actual terms this is not a problem because you can focus to 12 meters. and even at largest aperture the depth of field will be large enough to cover all larger distances. So, no sweat.
Even wide open (okay, I mean at f/3.5), sharpness is acceptable around the center - if you don't enlarge the image too much, which of course people did not do when that lens was new - but the image goes very soft in the corners. Nice contrast and overall a very "vintage" look.
Test conditions were admittedly rather harsh - 8:30 in the morning in early January with a complete, dense overcast means very little light. The next test should be in sunny weather, stopped down. Sharpness should then improve significantly.
The graininess comes courtesy of Epson/Seiko.

Edible Uses: Fruit,
Fruit - raw or cooked. A thin, rather juicy flesh. It is sometimes eaten. There is some debate as to whether the fruit is edible or slightly toxic. The fruit is about 10mm in diameter and contains 2 - 3 small seeds. An extract of the bark, with the bitterness removed (by drying?) is a common flavoring for soft drinks, baked goods and ice cream.
MEDICINAL USES: Laxative, Purgative,
Cascara has been widely used as a gentle laxative that restores tone to the bowel muscles and thus makes repeated doses unnecessary. The bark is used; it was once harvested on a commercial basis from wild trees and on plantations in western N. America. Today there are no longer any local markets for cascara bark harvested from the wild. Thje bark should be harvested in the autumn or spring, at least 12 months before it is used medicinally, in order to allow the more violent purgative effect to be mollified with age. Three year old bark is considered to be the best age. It is considered suitable for delicate and elderly persons and is very useful in cases of chronic constipation. The bark also has tonic properties promoting gastric digestion and appetite. As well as its uses as a laxative, it is taken internally in the treatment of digestive complaints, hemorrhoids, liver problems and jaundice. This remedy should be used with caution since in excess it causes vomiting and diarrhea. It should not be prescribed for pregnant or lactating women, or patients with intestinal obstruction. An infusion of the bark is sometimes painted over finger nails in the hope that the bitter taste will deter the person from biting their nails.
