Comforting Cobbler
When it comes to summertime desserts, I tend to opt for all things simple and refreshing. Fruits are often the star, especially when they're fresh and local. So, when I got my hands on a giant container of juicy blueberries last weekend, I knew that I had to make them into something special. In an act of perfect timing, I got the chance to sneak a peak at Canadian Living's August cover recipe – a deliciously comforting blueberry cobbler.
You can whip yourself up one of these babies at home in no time flat, just follow the link below to take you to the original recipe on Canadian Living's website.
Tip: top with a dollop of ice cream for an extra summery touch!
Stellar Brunch (Oven-baked french toast with caramel sauce)
Springtime peeked it's shy little head out to say hello to us Montrealers this week, and I instantly felt excited & inspired. There's just something about warm weather and sunshine that get me into a crafty mood. Quite a good time to be feeling creative, as I've had a lot of decorating to do recently: we've officially moved into our new apartment! The perfect way to settle in? A good old-fashioned Sunday Brunch!
Though bagels and lox are generally my choice brunch food, I decided to make something a little more decadent this time. Introducing Oven Baked French Toast, and her bff, Caramel Sauce. Make this for your next brunch if you're looking for a dish that is surprisingly quick & easy, and as eye-catching as it is tasty. Bonus: the air will fill with a warm, sweet aroma as your guests arrive.
This is a decadent, salty-meets-sweet, stick-to-your-ribs kind of breakfast – definitely weekend food! Tip: to make it extra yummy, you can prepare it the night before so the bread really gets some time to soak up the eggy goodness. This is also a perfect way to use up some stale bread you have lying around – once it soaks up the egg mixture, it'll come right back to life!
Oven Baked French Toast
an original recipe by allison sklar
NOTE: I've included two versions of caramel sauce here. One is a shortcut (no-fail) caramel, and the other is the traditional method that we were taught in pastry school. They yield slightly different flavours, and the shortcut method is a little more rich. If you've never made caramel before, I suggest you try the shortcut method first!
what you'll need
french toast
1 small loaf of your favourite bread, sliced or cubed
(challah bread, or other fluffy, soft bread works best)
6 eggs (8 if using a large amount of bread)*
1/4 cup icing sugar*
4 tbsp milk or cream
1 tbsp vanilla
2 tbsp cinnamon sugar **
1 to 2 tbsp butter, melted
caramel sauce (traditional method)
460g granulated sugar
160ml water
240g light/white corn syrup
125ml heavy (35%) cream
2 tbsp butter
pinch sea salt
caramel sauce (shortcut method)
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
pinch sea salt
how to do it
french toast
Place all of your bread in a large mixing bowl.
Beat eggs with icing sugar until colour turns light yellow and mixture becomes fluffy.
Whisk in milk (or cream) and vanilla. Pour over bread and toss to coat. Allow to sit until mixture is absorbed, about 10 minutes. This mixture can also be prepared overnight.*
Grease a shallow, oven-safe dish with butter. Preheat oven to 325F. Lay bread mixture evenly into dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until bread is golden brown. Meanwhile, prepare caramel sauce.
caramel sauce (traditional method)
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, bring granulated sugar and water to a boil, while stirring with a heatproof spatula. Once mixture boils, stop stirring and reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking, brushing down the insides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in water to avoid the formation of sugar crystals. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture up to 140C(285F). Carefully add in butter, cream and salt, stirring constantly. If mixture feels too thick, add more cream, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
caramel sauce (shortcut method – no thermometer needed!)
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, warm butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cream. Stir with a heatproof spatula in figure 8 motion, until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, stirring slowly but constantly, until mixture begins to thicken, about 6 minutes. Voila! Caramel!
Pour sauce over hot french toast. Sprinkle with icing sugar or more cinnamon sugar just before serving.
Eat & enjoy!
*If doing this overnight, increase the egg quantity to 8 to 10 eggs and the sugar to 1/3 cup.
** If you cannot find cinnamon sugar, make your own using equal parts of cinnamon to sugar.
Semi-Guilty Pleasures (Baked Donuts with Cinnamon Sugar Glaze)
And so, it begins.
I'm quite excited for today, as we get to go into the Pastry Lab (the name itself excites me!) where we will be learning about basic ingredients, measurement and weight. Every ingredient in classic French pastry is measured by weight (grams and millilitres), instead of measured by volume (teaspoons and cups). This allows for the most accurate reproductions of recipes, as measurement by volume is often skewed due to air pockets. In the future, as I blog certain pastry recipes, I'll offer approximate conversions from volume to weight, for those of you who prefer one method over the other.
Baked Doughnuts (& donut holes!)
recipe adapted from Châtelaine magazine, February 2014 issue.
Note: the original recipe calls for regular milk and butter, but I've replaced them with equal quantities soy milk and vegetable shortening (I used Crisco brand). If you want to make this completely vegan, simply substitute the egg with egg replacer. Voila! Doughnuts for everyone. Mmm.
Side Note: There are two spellings of donut (doughnut), and I'll use both, as you'll notice, throughout this post. They're both correct. I'm just really indecisive over which one I prefer.
what you'll need
1 cup soy milk
8g packet instant yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, melted
1 egg (or equal amount egg replacer)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 cups icing sugar
3 tbsp ground cinnamon
5 tbsp water
vegetable or olive oil (cooking spray works fine)
stand mixer with dough hook attachment
how to do it
warm soy milk on stovetop or in microwave. Do not boil! Add yeast and whisk. Pour into bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Let stand about 10 minutes. Add granulated sugar, shortening, egg, vanilla and salt to yeast mixture and beat until combined. Remove paddle and affix dough hook to stand mixer. Gradually add flour, increasing speed until dough forms a ball and pulls cleanly away from the bowl.
Transfer dough into oiled bowl. Lightly oil top of dough and cover with damp tea towel. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour.
Roll dough onto floured surface until 1/2 inch thick. Do not roll any thinner than this, or your doughnuts will become cookies, as I discovered in my first batch! Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut rounds out of dough, and a 1 inch cookie cutter to cut holes out of the middles. Pat together excess dough and roll into 1 inch balls, to make doughnut holes. Place on parchment-paper lined baking sheets and cover with damp tea towels. Allow to rise for another 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together 1 cup icing sugar and 2 tbsp cinnamon.
Once 45 minutes has passed, Preheat oven to 350F.
Dip donuts and roll donut holes in sugar & cinnamon mixture.
Bake in preheated oven at 350F for about 10 minutes, or until centers are golden.
Remove from oven and cool immediately on cooling rack.
Give your donuts a delicious glaze by mixing 1/4 cup water with 2 cups icing sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon. Dunk cooled donuts into glaze mixture. Reserve last cup of icing sugar in separate bowl, and roll sticky donuts in powdered sugar until fully coated. Donuts are best eaten immediately, but keep well at room temperature for about 2 days.
Final Note: this recipe looks lengthy, but it's totally worth the time, and it's not difficult at all, just requires a wee bit of patience. Give it a go – impress your friends and family! Or, just make them and then eat them all to yourself while watching the entire 3rd season of Community… whatever works for you.
Waste Not, Want More (Roasted Spicy Squash Seeds)
Over recent years, I've come to notice that my vegetarian lifestyle is often accompanied with a heightened sense of consciousness in relation to environmental and health issues. I am more aware of what I put into my body, and I am more aware about the amount of waste that I produce. Suffice to say, this doesn't mean that I don't enjoy the occasional processed food item. I do. I am just aware now that these are not the healthiest of options, so I opt for moderation over deprivation. It also doesn't mean that I won't buy anything in a package – I will. I just try to re-use as much as possible. notice how I didn't say "Recycle"… because I've also learned that tossing paper and plastic into blue bins doesn't do much to save the planet.
So, what do I re-use? First off, I opt for glass jars over plastic whenever possible – because once the food inside them is done, they're washable and re-usable, even heatable… a chemical-free alternative to leeching plastic lunch containers. As for the things that come in plastic that I can't live without – yogourt containers, for example – I bring the empties to the art teacher at my school so that she can use them for projects in class, as well as holders for art supplies.
And then, there's my food. I like to throw away as little food waste as possible. Unfortunately, my area doesn't have a composting program, and living in a small top floor apartment, it's just not an option for me to be doing on my own. So, I reduce the amount of waste that I produce in the first place. I do this by buying less groceries, more often. I've been told that it's the "European" way of shopping, and whether it is or not, I've come to find that it's the best way to eat. The benefits of buying a little at a time (instead of one big grocery order): Foods are fresher, I get more exercise with bi-weekly walks to the market, I save money, and I waste less. Tips for anyone who'd like to try this – keep essentials on hand such as oils, vinegar, seasonings and grains. Buy one or two vegetable items at a time, and use it all up for a meal or two. To save even more money: buy what's on sale each week – this will also encourage you to eat a bigger variety of veggies and fruits.
Ok, so what does this all have to do with the mouth watering picture above, you ask? My waste-not methods encouraged me to use up every inch of my winter squash after I made this (or this, or this…). I couldn't bear to throw out all the lovely little seeds! Inspired by watching my mother roast pumpkin seeds every halloween, I decided to roast these baby versions of them and see what came out. Oh. My. Goodness. Heaven in a handful. The best part – you can eat the shell. Warning – these are very addictive.
Roasted Spicy Squash Seeds
an original recipe by allison sklar
what you'll need
seeds from a fresh winter squash (butternut or acorn squash seeds work best)
1 tbsp grapeseed or light olive oil
1 tbsp Montreal Steak Spice*
* if you can't find this in your area, you can order some on Amazon, or make your own with a recipe here.
If you've never had this spice mix before, get ready to be introduced to your favorite seasoning mix ever. I put this on everything from sweet potato fries to avocado salads to tuna sandwiches!
how to do it
Preheat oven to 300F. (I do this in a convection/toaster oven for faster results.)
Rinse the seeds, removing any squash goop, and pat dry with paper towel. In a small bowl, mix seeds with oil and spice, coating evenly. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 8 to 12 minutes (if in toaster oven, 4 to 8 minutes), or until golden. I highly recommend to turn your oven light on and check on these often. Every oven is different and it is possible to burn these very quickly. When the seeds change colour (brownish gold), they're ready.
Fallin' For You (Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce)
Pumpkin alfredo sauce, where have you been all of my life?
I came up with this quick and simple dish after flipping through the latest issue of Food Network Magazine. For a couple of weeks, I'd routinely flip back to the same page, drooling over a photo of tortellini bathed in this dreamy pumpkin sauce. The original recipe asked to sautée pumpkin with nutmeg, but since I'm really not a nutmeg kind of gal, I decided to omit that step. I then reassessed the rest of the recipe, and well, I pretty well stripped it down to the basics (pumpkin puree and cream) and then added my own little twist.
My version comes together when delicious pumpkin puree meets with heavy cream, gets sprinkled with a hint of marinated garlic and finished off with a generous sprinkling of parmigiano reggiano cheese. Toss it with pasta and top it all off with sea salt and pepper, and you've got a meal. This sauce is so velvety that it tastes sinful, yet it's surprisingly light thanks to the magic that is pumpkin puree.
(Also, what better way to get a picky eater to eat his or her veggies?!)
This recipe's quick, easy, and ridiculously tasty – so make it tonight! Whether it's for yourself, or to impress a lucky guest, tastebuds everywhere will be rejoicing in the glory of this newfound autumn comfort food.
Note: I served this with fresh cheese ravioli, but it would be a great companion to tortellini, fettuccine, tagliatelle or any other of your favorite pasta varieties.
Pumpkin Alfredo Ravioli
an original recipe by allison sklar
what you'll need
1 cup fresh pasta
1 cup canned pureed pumpkin (NOT pie filling!)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp crushed marinated garlic
1/4 cup freshly shredded parmigiano reggiano cheese
salt & pepper to taste
how to do it
Prepare your pasta according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, begin to warm pumpkin in medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly add cream, stirring constantly with a non-stick spatula. Add garlic and heat until mixture begins to bubble. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Toss desired amount of sauce with drained pasta.
Serve with extra shredded cheese & fresh ground pepper sprinkled on top.
Warm Up (Mushroom Risotto with Thyme and Cheddar)
It's that time of year again, Montreal! You know, that season that isn't quite a season? For those of you who don't live here, let me fill you in. We've had the kind of days that've started off in cozy sweaters and boots, and have ended off in shorts and flip flops. We've seen the kind of weeks that have offered us weather reminiscent of Melbourne – rain, sun, frost and heat all within 24 hours.
One certainty in all of this is that Autumn has officially arrived! The general drop in temps has offered us a much needed break after our wildly humid summer, so we can put our hair down and lace our boots up. Because, let's face it – the best part of fall is the fashion… Oh, and of course, the other best part is the comfort food!
So, without further adieu, I present to you the rich, the tasty, the creamy mushroom risotto! Inspired by a deliciously rich dish that I recently ate at a small resto (in the suburbs, who'd have imagined!?) I decided to create my very own version.
It does take some time to make, but don't let that stop you – it's totally and completely worth it.
Now go get cooking!
Mushroom Risotto with Thyme and Cheddar
what you'll need
1 cup white wine
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 bunch chopped green onions
1 cup arborio rice
2 tbsp oil
3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
3 cups vegetable stock
2 tbsp chopped marinated garlic
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated parmiggiano cheese
1 cup water + more as needed
how to do it
Sautee mushrooms and green onions in oil in a medium saucepan. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring rice and 1 cup water to a boil. Reduce heat and stir. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until rice absorbs the liquid. Slowly add in one cup wine. Simmer and stir until absorbed. Add one cup of stock at a time, waiting until absorbed before each addition, and constantly stirring. (Note – If rice is not fully cooked – tender, but not crunchy – after three cups of stock, continue the process with water or wine.) Once rice is tender, stir in mushroom mixture, garlic and thyme. Fold in cheeses. Sprinkle a generous amount of fresh ground black pepper into the mixture. Serve immediately, sprinkled with extra cheese if desired.

Some day I will learn to knit socks too--I want to learn how to make 2 socks on the circular needles--I figure if I learn that first, I'll be good to go with other knitting. I just need to find some way to deal with the frustration of trying to learn on my own--no yarn shops or lessons around here. Sheila(Doxiemom) on the KT.

Thursday, April 20, 2006
The title refers to a visit we made today to a huge park in Richmond. The place is called Maymont and has beautiful gardens, a pond, an aquarium and a petting zoo. Jack whined just about all through the visit as is typical for him if he is the least bit uncomfortable. Today, the sun was out and the bees were abundant...not a good combo for little Jackson who is not a rough and tumble kind of guy. Alas, what can a parent do? I think that the thing to do is not to go on these kinds of excursions with the little shaver. The perfect vacation is one where they have a day camp for Jack and a bar by the pool for me. Think what you like about my mothering. I should have been a mom in the 1950s.
In other news, a friend of mine from Bloomington recently had a very successful tummy tuck and truth be told, I can't stop thinking about how nice it would be to have a flat stomach after only one week of recovery agony and about ten thousand bucks. The only thing that keeps me from doing it...okay, the THREE things that keep me from doing it...1) I don't want the scar that will run from hip to hip 2) I am a chicken and 3) my husband won't let me, darling man that he is. I guess I will just have to rejoin the Pilates place this summer.
In other other news...well, there is no other news. I just wanted to post to keep my eager readership sated for news of their BloomingtonGirl.
Must go and get ready for dinner.

Any mother who says that she doesn't want to kick back with a glass of vino while someone entertains her kid(s) nearby is a liar liar pants on fire!!
My dream vacation would also include some component of drinking while my kids are having fun with some sober responsible adult -- not their dad, because I want to drink with him! Also, it would include some climbing and a long long run, neither of which would be fun with the kids along... and I guess should happen before the drinking... then it would wind up with a facial and massage. Ahhh... dream on.
We are currently planning a month-long "vacation" driving out west (where I'm from), stopping along the way to see friends, camp, do some mountain biking, a little climbing, and relaxing. It will include some aspects of the dream vacation... However, we have two kids (3 and 1) so it will probably be a test of endurance more than anything. I'm sure we're nuts to try this... (although at least they're too young to really WHINE).
anyway, here's to attempting to vacation!!

Sorry we got disconnected the other day. Give me a call when you get back.

elizk Review
too many flaws
I had to return this item. Maybe it was just a problem with the one I received, but every pearl in the strand was odd-shaped - oval, oblong, lumpy - and every single one had dents and scratches on it. I thought about keeping it since the price was a bargain, and you wouldn't necessarily notice the flaws from 20 feet away. But I knew that anyone who stepped in close to look at my necklace (as you know, some ladies will do this!) will notice the flaws. I have purchased an 18-inch strand from overstock before and that one was fine. I was really disappointed that this one was such poor quality and I had to spend $5 to return it!

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to steer his electric car company's battery technology into homes and businesses as part of an elaborate plan to reshape the power grid with millions of small power plants made of solar panels on roofs and batteries in garages.
The long-term goal is to create regional networks of home batteries that could be controlled as if they were a power plant. That would give utilities another way to ensure that they can provide power at times of peak demand.
Tesla is building a giant factory in Nevada that will begin churning out batteries in 2017, so Musk needs to begin drumming up customers now. The spotlight may help Musk push policy makers and utilities to consider reshaping regulations so solar and battery storage could be more easily incorporated into the larger electric system." ...

Bullying may be more scarring than child maltreatment because while society recognizes child abuse as a serious problem, and supports its victims, people just don't see bullying the same way. There are still people out there who think that bullying is a normal rite of passage — you go through and toughen up.
But bullying leaves people with poor self-esteem and a lasting sense of distrust of other people.

The Rage to Learn
The brain's reward for getting a concept is a shot of natural opiates. The same mechanism is involved in the aesthetic experience, providing a neurological explanation for the pleasure we derive from art.
"Biederman's theory was inspired by a widely ignored 25-year-old finding that mu-opioid receptors - binding sites for natural opiates - increase in density along the ventral visual pathway, a part of the brain involved in image recognition and processing.
The receptors are tightly packed in the areas of the pathway linked to comprehension and interpretation of images, but sparse in areas where visual stimuli first hit the cortex.

"Individually, an ant is dumb. But the colony? That's where the intelligence is."
A neuroscientist studies ant colonies to understand feedback in the brain.
"Like ants, neurons also have first and second responders. When a neuron fires, it releases neurotransmitters that are housed in containers called vesicles. One pool of vesicles, called the "readily releasable pool," lives right at the cell membrane and is the first to be released. The vesicles in this pool, however, are few in number and can quickly be depleted. If firing rates continue at a moderate level, a second pool of vesicles called the "recycling pool" is brought into action, and very intense rates will summon a third pool called the "reserve pool."
A returning forager is like an incoming action potential; a potential forager in the ant colony is like a synaptic vesicle. These potential foragers also appear to be arranged according to their proximity to the tunnel entrance. Those further back are similar to the recycling and reserve pools. Just as a potential forager has to decide whether to leave the nest in search of food, the synapse has to decide whether to release a vesicle.
Goldman believes he can use ant data to understand the foraging behavior of the desert ants and the ways in which it is similar to or different from vesicle recycling. To understand ant foraging behavior, he is using a mathematical construct called a stochastic accumulator. This model sums the inputs that the ants receive inside a certain time window, in a way that takes into account the inherent randomness of the environment. In synapses, the chemical signals that trigger ant foraging behavior are replaced by electrical signals that trigger the release of neurotransmitter, and the leave/stay decision of the ant is replaced by the release/don't release decision of the synapse. " ... See MoreSee Less

"The conventional models predict that at higher energies, the amount of antimatter cosmic rays will decrease faster than the amount of matter cosmic rays," Capell says. "But because dark matter is its own antiparticle, when two dark matter particles collide, they are just as likely to produce matter particles as they are to produce antimatter particles, so we would see an excess of antiparticles."
This new result compares the ratio of antiprotons to protons across a wide energy range and finds that this proportion does not drop down at higher energies as predicted, but stays almost constant. The scientists also found that the momentum-to-charge ratio for protons and helium nuclei is higher than predicted at greater energies.

Diaconis' previous card-shuffling work has helped to shed light on numerical approximation algorithms known as Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, ubiquitous in scientific simulation, which employ processes akin to shuffling to generate random examples of phenomena that are too hard to calculate completely. Diaconis believes that a mathematical analysis of smooshing will likewise have ramifications that go far beyond card shuffling. "Smooshing is close to a whole raft of practical life problems," he said. It has more in common with a swirling fluid than with, say, a riffle shuffle; it's reminiscent, for example, of the mechanics underlying the motion of large garbage patches in the ocean, during which swirling currents stir a large collection of objects.
Fluid-flow problems are notoriously hard to solve. The most famous such problem, which concerns the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid flow, is so difficult that it has a million-dollar bounty on its head. "The mathematics of any model for spatial mixing is in pretty bad shape," Diaconis said.
Diaconis hopes that the union of fluid-flow techniques and card-shuffling math might point a way forward. "My kind of math — combinatorics, probability — is at right angles to the kind of math the Navier-Stokes people do," he said. "If you bring fresh tools in, it might do some good in a bunch of these classical problems." ... See MoreSee Less

An artificial muscle developed by Lenore Rasmussen will be tested aboard the ISS.
The Synthetic Muscle is a gel-like material known as an electroactive polymer (EAP), which means it changes size or shape in response to an electric field. Its ability to contract or expand at low voltages gives it the potential to mimic human muscle movement and find applications in prosthetics and robotics.
"We can't explore space without robots," Rasmussen said. "Humans can only withstand a certain amount of radiation so that limits the time that people can be in space, whereas robots particularly if they're radiation-resistant can be up there for long periods of time without being replaced."
But to realize this potential, there were a number of problems that needed to be overcome. Firstly, a way to make the gel adhere to metal electrodes made of steel or titanium needed to be found. With the help of a team at the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), this was accomplished by treating the metal with a plasma, which altered its surface and allowed the gel to more closely adhere to it. ...

Let's Celebrate the Man Who Conquered Polio
April 12 marks the 60th anniversary of the polio vaccine. The incredible story of Jonas Salk's historic breakthrough deserves to be remembered—and it holds very relevant lessons for the world today.
There was a time not too long ago when polio was a scourge that crippled thousands of children all over the globe. The drive to find a cure was boosted in the U.S. with the founding of the March of Dimes by President Franklin Roosevelt. Children collected coins to fund polio vaccine research and ultimately the Salk vaccine. In a single year alone, 80 million people donated to the program.
Massive field trials were organized to ensure Dr. Salk's vaccine was safe and effective, and when the vaccine was formally introduced, hundreds of thousands of volunteers helped to set up vaccination clinics. This remains the biggest American peacetime volunteer effort to date.
Dr. Salk became a national hero, his generosity and compassion legendary. When asked why he chose to not patent his polio vaccine, forgoing a personal fortune, Dr. Salk famously replied, "Could you patent the sun?"
Remember, none of this had ever been done before. It was a grand experiment and it remains a powerful reminder that we should be thinking ambitiously when it comes to taking care of one another. If we were to act today with that same imagination, we could finally wipe out polio for good: Only three countries remain, and that number could be just two by this time next year, thanks to progress in Nigeria. ...

Alfred Nobel
In 1888, Nobel was astonished to read his own obituary, titled The merchant of death is dead, in a French newspaper. As it was Alfred's brother Ludvig who had died, the obituary was eight years premature. The article disconcerted Nobel and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. This inspired him to change his will to seek a change in public opinion, which led to his decision to establish the Nobel Prizes.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel (/noʊˈbɛl/; Swedish: [ˈalfrɛd nʊˈbɛl] About this sound listen (help·info); 21 October 1833 – 10 December 1896) was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and armaments manufacturer.
He was the inventor of dynamite. Nobel also owned Bofors, which he had redirected from its previous role as primarily an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannon and other armaments. Nobel held 350 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. His fortune was used posthumously to institute the Nobel Prizes. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. His name also survives in modern-day companies such as Dynamit Nobel and AkzoNobel, which are descendants of mergers with companies Nobel himself established. ... See MoreSee Less

A baby brother to Baxter, Sawyer's unusual one-arm design with increased dexterity) came after analyzing over 150 factory tasks, and finding many could be done with just a single limb.
"Robots are moving into the realm where they're beginning to compete with people for those kinds of jobs that rely on hand-eye coordination -- things that up until now, only people could do," said Ford, who is also the author of new book "Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future."
"What are we going to do for the people who are displaced? The evidence suggests that there aren't going to be enough new jobs created in other areas. There will be some -- for engineers and so forth -- but the numbers don't match up."
"Brooks sees things differently, arguing that companies are already struggling to find enough people willing to do menial manufacturing jobs -- let alone robots."
"If it was the case that people were lining up wanting factory jobs, then that would be a valid fear. But in the U.S. the average age of a factory worker is over 55 -- people don't want those jobs!" says the former director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory."
