Oh, those silly Australians.
If you've never heard of the "360Fly" sports camera, it's the next generation of GoPro. The company's CEO, Peter Adderton, was quoted as saying, "Do something controversial, do something stupid and let the media drive it." A pair of Aussies did just that, taking what they called a "page out of Trump's playbook." Their video turned out to be so controversial that no American broadcaster would air it:
Of course, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The stereotypes are horrible, but the showcase of just how incompetent Trump is was spot on.

According to the report, The Finance Ministry has sought a report on the same from the I-T department. The CBTD is likely to submit a proposal by June 20, sources were reported to have told CNN IBN.
"Sources further said that the government is also considering raising the tax exemption limit on home loans and health insurance premium. The health insurance premium is likely to be raised by Rs 5,000, as per sources," the report added.
Currently, individuals having an income in excess of Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs are in the 10 per cent tax bracket and are liable to pay tax, subject to exemptions.
The moving of the tax bracket from Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs would mean that there would be no tax payable on income up to Rs 5 lakhs.
At present individuals with an income of Rs 2-5 lakhs are charged an Income Tax rate of 10%, while those in the Rs 5-10 lakhs bracket are charged at 20% and those above Rs 10% lakhs are charged at 30%, apart from surcharge an education cess.
The Hindustan Times had earlier reported that the government was learnt to be gearing up for an overhaul of India's tax regime by considering a restructuring of tax slabs and increasing the income tax exemption limit from the existing Rs. 200,000 to more than Rs. 300,000.

We were able to stay here without breaking our wallet. That leaves more money for the family activities that we came to this area for. Any problems we had were immediately taken care of by the staff in a kind manner. Rooms very neat and clean, beds made. I especially liked the large selection of cable channels offered for viewing in the evening after our daily activities. I would stay here again.

text: The problems described here are because gnome-print libraries are not maintained and buggy. Thanks to Project Ridley these libraries are abandoned and a new printing dialog and libraries will be part of GTK+ (available in GTK+ 2.10). These new libraries will bring a better printing experience and are the right way forward. More info on http://live.gnome.org/ProjectRidley. Until then we are stuck with gnome-print in dapper (GTK+ 2.8). I have created a patch for libgnomeprint that improves the current printing experience from gnome applications by: * Reading options set in PPD, /etc/cups/lpoptions and ~/.cups/lpoptions by making use of gnome_cups_printer_get_options from libgnomecups. This makes sure that options set by gnome-cups-manager will be applied, even options that can't be changed in the gnome print dialog like Printing Quality. * allowing more options to be usable in the gnome print dialog: changing of Paper Size, Page Orientation (e.g. Landscape), Duplex and Tumble, 2 pages to 1 and 4 pages to 1. These options only apply to the current print job and are not saved when closing the gnome application. This was part was inspired by gnome-bug 166564. Hard to believe that e.g. landscape printing didn't work in gnome apps, this fix solves that. You find the patch in attachment. This patch solves bug #34112 and its duplicates according to me in the best way possible for the current gnome-print implementation. I advice everyone to test it and to report possible problems with it. ** Attachment added: "libgnomeprint-cups-transport.diff" http://librarian.launchpad.net/3015998/libgnomeprint-cups-transport.diff -- gnome programs don't respect ~/.cups/lpoptions https://launchpad.net/bugs/34112

Constitutional Court President Jasna Omejec said in an interview with the Vecernji List daily, which hit the newsstands on Saturday, that in her opinion disputing the need for a constitutional court was motivated by the will for an unlimited political power, without a judicial control of political decisions.
The Constitutional Court serves the citizens, it protects them from government autocracy, whether it be about the law, a regulation or a court ruling, Omejec said asked to comment on Labour Party president Nansi Tireli's opinion that the Constitutional Court was unnecessary because there is the European Court of Human Rights and on Bridge party MP Ivan Lovrinovic question why Croatia had the Constitutional Court given that its rulings take forever, as well as on criticism by other political and judicial figures.
"We would like to believe that the advocates of those ideas that are hard to understand are in fact ignorant and uninformed... However, I don't know who is more dangerous, them or the politicians who know something about the constitutional judiciary," Omejec said.
"To allow an amendment on the cancellation of the Constitutional Court, such a decision to change the Constitution would have to be adopted at a referendum, because without its Constitutional Court Croatia would no longer be the country we created in 1991," Omejec said.

How can you be gay and Jewish?
Jay Michaelson
I am sometimes asked: "How can you be gay and Jewish? Doesn't the Bible forbid homosexuality?" Here is my attempt at an answer.
At the outset, I am only answering this question as part of a subset of a subset of Jews: religious Jews who feel themselves bound or in some way affected by the Torah and Jewish law. Of course, the majority of Jews do not believe themselves to be bound in any such way. For them, the issue is much simpler: any prohibitions which may exist are historical in nature and far less important than conscience, ethics, culture, and other values. The law evolves, or doesn't matter anyway. So what the questioner really means is: how can one be gay and religiously Jewish, with a religious consciousness that, for whatever reasons, treats what the Bible says with seriousness. That is the question I mean to answer.
The Bible does not forbid homosexuality. 'Homosexuality' is a modern term, a pseudo- scientific category created in 1869. It refers not only to sexual acts, but to a sexual orientation, an identity, and is today used (imprecisely) to describe a range of sexual behaviors, attractions, and ideas about the self. This way of looking at sex acts was unknown both to the Bible and to the Talmud. Where the Torah does speak of sexual acts, as we will see below, it has no conception that these acts relate to personal identity, or to love. It expresses no belief that such acts are indicative of an inborn proclivity, and no conception that acts "make you gay," or even that one type sex act is necessarily related to another. Those who say that the Bible (or Torah, or Talmud, or halacha) forbids homosexuality are simply wrong. There is no such thing as Biblical homosexuality.

WILLIAM Shakespeare was a champion of monumental excitement and remorseless discontent, of the majestic and the lonely, of the varied amazements and tortures of the human condition.
He invented most of the words in the last sentence for the English language is littered with 1700 words he created.
Today, April 23, which is also St. George's Day, is celebrated as his birthday – 450 years ago in 1564.
The playwright and poet, who embodies the rambunctious romance of the Renaissance, is still the world's most famous Brit nearly half a millennium after he entered the world.
Without him we wouldn't have the pleasure of glorious words such as embrace, silliness, moonbeam, shooting star and hobnob. Or how about 'honey-tongued' from Love's Labour's Lost?
'The long and the short of it' (The Merry Wives of Windsor) is that we would be lost for wonderful ways to 'break the ice' (The Taming of the Shrew) and 'wear the heart upon the sleeve' (Othello) or 'make short shrift' (Richard III) and bid 'good riddance' (Troilus and Cressida).
And we wouldn't have brilliant turns of phrase like 'heart of gold' (Henry V), 'kill with kindness' (The Taming of the Shrew), 'star-cross'd lovers' (Romeo and Juliet), 'neither rhyme nor reason' (As You Like It), 'to thine own self be true' (Hamlet) and 'such stuff as dreams are made' (The Tempest).
He even invented that classic joke structure in the Scottish play: 'Knock, knock! Who's there?'
It was his way of articulating the gamut of emotions that run through everyone at one time or another that ensured he would be remembered 'forever and a day' (As You Like It).
My favourite of Shakespeare's sonnets (number 14) likens a lover's soul to the power of the heavens and how with their death truth and beauty will cease to exist:
'But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art…
…Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.'
Shakespeare's works are littered with astronomical references. Indeed he saw art in the stars.
On the same day we celebrate Shakespeare's 450th birthday, NASA has detailed a plan to launch a manned mission to Mars in just over 15 years' time; an endeavour described as vital for the continued survival of the human race.
The Times reported that the space agency's chief Charles Bolden outlined a series of "stepping stones" to the Red Planet that included "lassoing" an asteroid, using 3D printers for spacecraft repairs and growing vegetables in space ahead of a three-year return trip.
He said: "It is important to remember that NASA sent humans to the moon by setting a goal that seemed beyond reach.
"In that same spirit, the agency has made a human mission to Mars the centrepiece of its next big leap into the unknown."
Now is the winter of our planet's discontent. Perhaps our existence does indeed rely on journeying to the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.
To be or not to be? That is the question. Especially with the slings, arrows and outrageous fortunes that our world faces.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but ourselves.

Article first published as Book Review: Joe DiMaggio: The Long Vigil by Jerome Charyn on Blogcritics.
He was a man known for his grace and his dignity, a star centerfielder for the New York Yankees from the years 1936-1951. His career did not end with baseball however; he is also famous as the husband of Marilyn Monroe. A private man well respected and revered in sports, he was nevertheless second fiddle to Marilyn, a woman whose life was even larger than his own. While Joe DiMaggio The Long Vigil by Charyn certainly details the marriage reported at the time, this book is in no way about Marilyn, yet she is still a part of it.
Charyn uses the myriads of information on the life of "Joltin" Joe and wends it into a detailed look at his life, and the effects he had on those around him. As you read the information, you are at once drawn to Joe's character, and yet put off by some of his reasoning. It is the story behind the story of a man who became a legend. It is also the story about a man who helped to build the legend of Marilyn as well.
He is a remarkable character, but with flaws that make his as human as the rest of us. He surrounded himself with people of character, unique and funny, and usually well known. He was friends with Frank Sinatra, Hugh Hefner and Ernest Hemingway to name a few. While the book takes you through his baseball years, along with his remarkable abilities, it also details his tortured relationship with Marilyn, the woman that captured his soul. There is sadness and despair, anger and frustration, and through it all Charyn keeps you caring and understanding about Joe's past.
Even after Marilyn's death, Joe persevered. In another odd and unusual way, he then became the representative for Mr. Coffee. Based on Joe's inherent dislike of the press and speaking, this very private man moved into the spotlight in an unexpected way. This was one of the stranger evolutions in his life.
Here was a man, that in the course of his life had not just one, but three different careers that were amazing and yet larger than life. Charyn brings it all together and gives you a sympathetic and yet intense look at the man. With his love for Marilyn never diminishing, Joe nevertheless lived for 37 years after her death, and yet never forgot her. This is a personal look at the life of a man in turmoil and yet one that went on to a form of immortality through his abilities and the memories he carved.
If you are a sports fan, a Marilyn fan or just really enjoy a book that makes you think, you will enjoy Joe DiMaggio A Long Vigil. I waded into the material with certain expectation but found that I was nowhere prepared at the depth and scope of the story. Once started, I found Joe the Legend to be just a man after all, with the same pains and fears as we all have. Somehow, to me, I am even more amazed at his progress, and while you could say this could or would give you a more sympathetic look at Joe DiMaggio, I have actually just become a bigger fan. Here is a man, with all the fear and flaws that could derail him and yet he emerges as a legend and just a bit more.
This would be a wonderful book for a reading group and a must have for your library. This is an extraordinary telling of Joe the man.

DULUTH, Ga. -- Atlanta Thrashers general manager Don Waddell broke his silence on the contract situation surrounding Ilya Kovalchuk on Thursday, saying negotiations are at an "impasse" and the team is exploring all its options.
"Our goal from the start of this negotiating process was to sign Ilya Kovalchuk to a long-term contract," Waddell said in a statement. "During the process, Kovy affirmed his desire to be a Thrasher for life. We've spent several months exploring scenarios with Kovy and his agent to reach a mutually beneficial agreement and offered many lucrative packages in an attempt to meet his financial objectives. Unfortunately, we've reached an impasse and at this point he has declined all of our proposals and we can't reasonably go any higher.
"Ultimately, we offered Kovy more than $101 million over 12 years, which would have been the highest contract signed by an impending unrestricted free agent in the history of the league," Waddell said in the statement. "If accepted, this contract would have been the second-highest offer ever to any NHL player. We also met his desire to be the highest-paid player based on average annual salary with a separate offer of seven years at $10 million per year ($70 M). This offer is $0.5 million higher per year than any other player.
"If we went beyond these offers, we would not be able to retain the young players on our roster when it came time to sign them or invest in other top-tier players needed to assemble a truly competitive team. Therefore, we are aggressively exploring all of our options as we move forward," Waddell's statement said.
Kovalchuk is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Waddell's statement came after Kovalchuk practiced with the Thrashers on Thursday morning in preparation for the team's next game Friday night in Washington.
"My job, I'm the player and my job is to go on the ice and play my best. Whatever happens happens," Kovalchuk said after the team's workout and prior to boarding a flight to Washington.
"I'm still under contract and I have to go and do my job. Like I said we've got a couple of games, very important games, we're one point behind a playoff spot; you never know what's going to happen. You've just got to show up and play and try your best," the Thrashers' captain and leading goal-scorer and point-producer said.
Prior to Waddell's statement, head coach John Anderson said he thought it wasn't true that the Thrashers were actively trying to trade their star.
"Active? I don't know whether they're actively trying to trade him. The team has to look at all its options. As we speak he's a part of our team, a big part of our team," Anderson told a larger than normal media contingent at the team's facility north of Atlanta.
"He commands a lot of ice time and as long as he's in my roster he's going to get a lot of ice time," Anderson said.
The Thrashers have made the playoffs just once in franchise history and were swept by the New York Rangers. They missed the playoffs last season and as of Thursday morning were in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, one point out of the last playoff spot.
Information from ESPN.com's Scott Burnside contributed to this report.

I miss Reginald's physical presence: his physical touch as lover; holding hands as we watched TV, drove down the road, or in a thousand other settings; the feel of his short cropped hair on my hand; passing or lingering caresses; the feel of his lips on mine when we kissed.
I miss his distinctive smell, the result of the combination of Old Spice deodorant with his particular body chemistry. (Since part of his scent was a fairly common deodorant, when in public, I often catch hints of the smell of others who are similar in scent to him, but that are always subtly "wrong" because of the combination of the deodorant with different body chemistries.)
I miss the sounds of Reginald: his gentle breathing and small snores as he slept; the particular cadence of his steps through which I often recognized him in public places even when I couldn't see him (e.g. if we were in a store, and he had gone to get some item and then caught up with me from behind); the sounds of his returning home – the thump of his car tires passing over the metal grate just in front of the garage, the opening and closing of his car door, his key in the door lock – that signaled to me that even if he had only been out for 15 minutes, I didn't have to miss him anymore.

I was looking at a pic of my man's ex, and she looks quite a bit like me, I am kinda confused by this, especially since we even have similar names, is he trying to replace her with a look a like (me), so he won't miss her? or is he just attracted to a certain type of woman?
Most Helpful Guy
Well he's probably just attracted to a certain type of girl, for example me I like short girls and hair color doesn't really matter. If my girl looks like she could be my exes sister yeah probably not going to go for her. My friends have said dude all your exes look alike, and I say sorry I have thing for beautiful women.
Here's another example, I dated this one girl she was tiny like 108 lbs, 5'4 or something, brunette, very sweet girl, well things didn't work out, so a week later I met another girl who was also tiny 108 lbs about 5'3-5'4, very sweet, now I wasn't looking for a girl that looked like the first one, but I was attracted to this one and as I got to know her better it was weird she was almost exactly like the first girl they even kind of looked alike, but in my mind I wasn't comparing the two, I was just attracted to that type of girl, and they both happened to look alike by coincidence. And the current girl I like is also 5'4, probably 108lbs but her face doesn't look similar to the other girls, she actually looks a lot like a girl I dated back in highschool, wow this is getting weird the more I think about it. But seriously it is all just coincidences.11|00|0

The intrepid world traveller Freya Stark visted her fruit-farming father Robert Stark in the Kootenays in 1928 and described her visit in a travelogue that also recalls her experiences in Bagdad, living in a harem in Damascus, her journeys in Persia, a treasure hunt in Luristan, and visits to England, Italy and other parts of Canada. In British Columbia she discovered "none of the buoyancy of prosperity... Everyone is hard up and a little wistful." She described her father, who had gone out to the Kootenays to grow fruit prior to the First World War, as "an incarnation of leisure, for his business depended on the seasons, whose movements encouraged no feelings of hurry except at harvest-time... The Times came to him regularly, and he had a small shelf of books which he read over and over, admitting a newcomer now and then, after much deliberation."
Born in 1893 in Paris, Freya Stark was the daughter of two artists. "My parents treated Europe with extreme nonchalance as a place to run about in," she recalled. Stark and her younger sister Vera grew up multi-lingual, educated by governesses and nuns. She entered Bedford College in London at age 19 and served as a nurse during World War One, in England and Italy. When her parents separated, she and her mother lived in a small house on the Italian Riviera where Stark dedicated herself to learing Arabic and other languages. Her first book was Baghdad Sketches (1933). She consequently served in British intelligence during World War II. Her more than 30 books, most notably The Valleys of the Assassins (1934) and The Southern Gates of Arabia (1936), were mainly about the Middle East. Her last travel book was The Minaret of Djam (1970), about a journey into Afghanistan. She had a short-lived marriage to British Colonial administrator Stewart Perowne from 1947 to 1952. When Dame Freya Stark died in 1993, The Times of London described her as "the last of the Romantic Travellers." Former New York Times reporter Jane Fletcher Geniesse has written a biography, Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark.

[Shanghai 上海] Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire
Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire
Add: 2F Capella Hotel, 480 West Jian Guo Road
Tel: 5466 9928
Hours: Weekdays 6-10pm, Weekends 6-10:30pm
Price: dinner 400 RMB+/person
Visited: Jul 2017
Amongst the myriad of new restaurants and hotels popping up in Shanghai lately, the most sought after is most definitely Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire, situated inside the Capella Hotel. The famed French chef has opened over a dozen restaurants around the world, the most iconic being his eponymous three-Michelin-star restaurant in Paris, which has been in operation since 1996. (On a related note, Pierre Gagnaire has garnered 17 stars in total). His 16th restaurant – Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire – just softly opened its door in Shanghai.
最近上海新餐廳和酒店如雨後春筍般不斷冒出,而其中最受人矚目,無疑是法國名廚 Pierre Gagnaire 在 Capella 嘉佩樂酒店開的 Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire。這位大廚的餐廳遍布全球,其中最爲出名的是 1996 年開幕于巴黎的 Pierre Gagnaire 同名餐廳,已多年穩坐米其林三星的地位(順帶一提,大廚所有餐廳加起來有 17 顆星星)。就在這個月,他在上海開了旗下第 16 家餐廳 - Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire。二話不說,吃。
The location of the restaurant – Capella Hotel, Shanghai – is a luxury hotel renovated from historical Shikumen structures. It hasn't been completed yet, and we will have to wait till September to see it in its full form, but expectations are already high. When finished, Pierre Gagnaire will have not just the restaurant and bar, but also a boulangerie / patisserie, as well as a space called "The Lab" designated for culinary private events.
餐廳所在地 - 上海建業裏嘉佩樂酒店 - 是由石庫門建築群修複而成的奢華酒店,目前還未完工,正式開業要等到九月(已迫不及待想要去瞧瞧了)。由 Pierre Gagnaire 所經營的除了有餐廳和酒吧,將來還會有街邊的面包甜點房 - La Boulangerie et Patisserie,以及一個提供 "私人預定的美食空間" - The Lab(其實我也沒搞懂這是什麽。)
[Shanghai 上海] Weiliu 味留
Weiliu 味留
Add: B1/F,158 Julu Lu, near Ruijin Yi Lu
Tel: 6333 5117
Hours: 5~11pm (closed on Sun)
Price: from 1280 RMB
Visited: Apr 2017
Found 158 might be widely known as the "new Yongkang Lu" with its collection of expat-centric bars and restaurants, but the subterranean hub also houses an upscale Japanese restaurant called Weiliu. Tucked away in a quiet corner, Weiliu – opened just a few weeks before my visit – is composed of a very zen pebble garden, one main sushi bar, and a couple of spacious private rooms, all donned with silent sliding doors and minimalist decors.
永康路被整頓後,全上海的外國人似乎都跑到大同坊來了,每逢週末都擠得水洩不通。不過你知道,這裡除了有去不完的酒吧之外,其實還隱藏了一家相當高級日本料理店嗎? 我到訪時才開幕幾週的味留座落在大同坊一個安靜的角落,有個很禪的庭院,一個開放式吧台,還有幾個寬敞的包房。風格簡約,低調的外表讓人很想進去一探究進…
The restaurant group, with three locations in Taipei already, also imported their chefs from Taiwan. Omakase sets are priced at 1,280, 1,680, and 1,980 RMB – steep, but not uncommon among the high-end Japanese restaurant scene in Shanghai.
味留來自台灣,在台北已有三家店(咦,可是之前從來沒聽過),上海新店大部分的師父似乎也都是台灣人。Omakase 的價位是 1,280, 1,680, 和 1,980 人民幣 - 貴,但這就是上海高級日本料理的行情。
[Shanghai 上海] Bo Shanghai (2)
Bo Shanghai
Add: 6F, Bund 5, 20 Guangdong Lu
Tel: 5383 3656
Hours: 6-11pm
Price: dinner set 1680 RMB + 10%,wine pairing + 650~850 RMB
Visited: Apr 2017
Please note that this was an invited tasting arranged by the restaurant.
6 months after its grand opening last year, Bo Shanghai finally released its menu 2.0. What's new?
繼去年10月在上海外灘五號風風火火地開幕後,Bo Shanghai 终于推出了他们的第二套菜单。这个醞釀了 6 個月之久的新菜單,到底有什麼內容呢?
But first, a quick intro for those who didn't already know about this restaurant. Bo Shanghai is the brainchild of Alvin Leung of the Bo Innovation (Hong Kong) fame, the cuisine is French inspired by China's 8 regional cuisines. The kitchen here, helmed by head chefs DeAille and Simon, creates dishes that are completely different from what's on offer in Hong Kong. Click here to read more about Bo Shanghai's grand opening last year.
先給還不知道這家餐廳的人一個簡短的介紹:Bo Shanghai 是香港米其林三星的 Bo Innovation 的 "廚魔" Alvin Leung 在上海開的分店,用法國料理極致繁複的手法诠釋了來自中國八大菜系的靈感,由主廚 DeAille 和 Simon 呈現出和香港店完全不同的創意。想要了解更多,可以點擊這裡閱讀去年開幕時我寫的文章。
The new menu is 12 courses long (1680 RMB + 10%), which is two dishes more than its predecessor (and unsurprisingly more expensive), with wine pairing at another 650 RMB (3 glasses) or 850 RMB (5 glasses). At this price point, Bo Shanghai certainly isn't a restaurant to walk into casually…but the new menu does showcase the tremendous amount of thoughts the chefs have poured into its creation.
新菜單是一份 12 道式套餐(1680 元 + 10%),比之前的多了兩道(自然價格也上去了),配酒另加 650 元(3杯)或 850 元(5杯)。價格如此昂貴的 Bo Shanghai 顯然不是一家可以隨便走進去的餐廳…不過新菜單的確比之前更細致更華麗,用餐過程中主廚們詳細的解釋也讓人感受到他們在設計每一道料理時的用心。
The amuse bouche, a duo of "molecular xiaolongbao" and Shanghainese kaofu, hasn't changed. The "molecular xiaolongbao" is a classic creation from Alvin, its skin made from seaweed extractions, wrapping a soup that tastes exactly like xiaolongbao, adorned with a piece of vinegared ginger. As it bursts in the mouth, the soup is released…a sensation.
開胃小點倒是沒有變,和上份菜單一樣是 "分子小籠包" 以及 "烤麸"。其中分子小籠包是 Alvin 的經典創作之一,海藻制成的薄皮裹著高湯,上面點綴著一片用醋泡過的薑,放入嘴裏後輕壓便破裂,釋放出鮮味十足的小籠包風味。
[Shanghai 上海] Highline
Add: 6F, Ascott, Hong Kong Plaza, 282 Middle Huaihai Road
Tel: 6333 0176
Hours: 11am~1am
Price: brunch 200+ RMB/person, dinner 350+ RMB/person
Visited: Apr 2017
Highline, located on the 6th floor of the Ascott in Hong Kong Plaza, is the hot place to be at this moment. To be honest, I wasn't so impressed when I visited last year during its soft-opening stage – yes, the terrace is sexy and sleek, but the food and service were lacklustre at best. Highline has since then undergone a makeover of chefs and menus, and seems to be receiving especially good reviews for its brunch…time to go back for a second look.
開在香港廣場北座雅詩閣酒店 6 樓的 Highline,最近似乎非常熱門。由于是朋友投資的餐廳,去年還未正式開幕時我先去蹓跶過了幾次,但是(雖然這樣說可能對廚房的工作人員有些失禮)當時最讓我驚豔的是它漂亮的露台,而非食物本身。前一陣子聽說換了主廚改了菜單,趁上海天氣正好,我和朋友們挑了個陽光明媚的日子去試了試周末早午餐。
Though I'm quite in love with the terrace, we opted for the indoor sunroom as it was too windy on the day of our visit. First things first upon being seated – a glass of mimosa (68 RMB) to start the day.
雖然是衝著露台來的,不過當天風大而且朋友帶了小baby一起來,所以最後選了室內的陽光屋。落地窗完全打開,整個空間非常通透,舒服地坐下來後先來杯 Mimosa(68元)。
[Shanghai 上海] Ginger by the Park
Ginger by the Park
Add: 91 Xingguo Lu
Tel: 3406 0599
Hours: 10:30am-11pm
Price: 200~250 RMB/person
Visited: Apr 2017
Years ago when I first visited Ginger, it was still tucked away in a small alleyway on Fuxing West Road. With the loveliest courtyard, this was where I would spend afternoons sipping on tea and having lazy conversations with friends. Upon returning from Paris, I discovered that the cafe/bistro has moved to a new location on Xingguo Road…less discrete, but no less charming.
好幾年前第一次去 Ginger,它還開在複興西路的小弄堂裏,很喜歡那穿過細長通道後豁然開朗的感覺,下午坐在院子裏非常舒服。從巴黎回到上海後發現 Ginger 搬家了,新的地點在興國路上一個很安靜的地段,旁邊是公園,窗外一片綠。翻開菜單,看到的第一句話就吸引到我了:
"我們巡遊了世界,迫不及待地想和你分享那些最觸動我們味蕾和心靈的各地美食。Ginger 邀請你跟我們一起踏上舌尖上的奇妙旅行,感受口腹滿足的小幸福。"
Ginger's owner Betty is Singaporean by origin, but has been traveling around pretty much all her life. After going through Beijing, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, she settled in Shanghai in 2003, and Ginger was born. A foodie at heart, Betty tastes insatiably as she travels, and brings back all that is delicious to her restaurant, sharing her passion with fellow food lovers.
Ginger 的老板 Betty 是新加坡人,1987年搬到了北京(好早),後來去了香港、東京、2003年來到上海,不知不覺中已經十幾年了。她是個完全的吃貨,在東京居住的十年期間于藍帶學習了法式料理和甜點,更在旅途中更嚐遍了各地的美味並將它們帶回了自己的餐廳,分享給同樣熱愛美食的客人們…正如她菜單第一頁所描述的。
[Shanghai 上海] Garden Terrace at PuLi Hotel 璞麗酒店花園露台
Garden Terrace at PuLi Hotel
Add: 1 Changde Road
Tel: 2216 6996
Hours: 7am-1am (afernoon tea 2:30pm-5:30pm)
Price: tea set 300 RMB/person + 10% service charge & 6% tax
Visited: Apr 2017
Please note that this was an arranged tasting.
Spring in Shanghai is ever so pleasant yet short-lived, so when it is upon us, it's pretty much obligatory to spend as much time outdoor as possible. A most ideal patio choice would be Garden Terrace at the PuLi Hotel, which, incidentally, has always been one of my favorite hotels in town. The property is conveniently located at the heart of Jing'an District, yet somehow manages to shield out all the hustle and bustle, imbuing a sense of zen to all that enters its grounds. I think you might like it too.
The lush and quiet Garden Terrace, just a wall apart from Jing'an Park, is blessed with cool breeze, sunshine, and comfortably furnished with sofa and daybeds…lay down, sip on a cup of tea or a glass of champagne, and let all worries melt away.
[Shanghai 上海] Sober Company
Sober Company
Add: 99 Yandang Lu
Tel: N/A for the moment
Hours: [Sober Cafe] 8am-1am [Sober Kitchen] 5pm-12am [Sober Society] 7pm-2am
Price: [dishes] 55~190 rmb [cocktails] 85-130 rmb
Visited: Feb 2017
Since opening in 2014, Speak Low has been one of Shanghai's hottest (+ one of my personal favorite) bars, and its popularity grew even wilder after they won #2 in Asia's 50 Best Bars last year. In the meanwhile, its owners have been preparing for a grander project – whimsically named "Sober Company" – which soft-opened earlier this month. If you know anything about the team, you'd chuckle at this name…because you know that there is no way you are walking out of here sober.
Speak Low 自 2014 年開幕以來一直是上海最紅(以及我個人很喜歡的)酒吧之一,而在去年得到亞洲 50 Best Bars 第三名後更是一座難求 - 我最近有一次在周四晚上前往,結果直接被擠了出來(明明不是周末…)。在 Speak Low 人氣爆表的同時,老板們在這個月低調地開了家名爲 Sober Company 的新店。Sober 意爲 "清醒的、未醉的",想想實在是個很幽默的名字…你覺得你來 Speak Low 老板開的店,能夠清醒地走出去?呵呵。
I'm doing a bit of pastry consulting for Sober Company and so was lucky to get a preview of the place before it opened. The location is at the crossroad of Yandang Lu and Nanchang Lu. Its storefront, donned in a charming grayish-blue, reads Sober Café, Sober Kitchen, and Sober Society. That's right, this place serves more than just alcohol.
新店才剛開始營業,我因爲幫他們做一些甜點顧問項目,所以已經先來了幾次。地點在雁蕩路南昌路路口,優雅沈穩的藍色店面上寫著 Café、Kitchen、Society,分別是咖啡館、餐廳、和酒吧。哦?原來這裏不只有酒喝。
This two-storey, New York-inspired establishment is orchestrated by Shingo Gokan, champion of the Bacardi Global Legacy cocktail competition in 2012, as well as the man behind New York's Angel's Share for the past 10 years.
打造 Sober 的是自 2012 年得到 Bacardi Global Legacy 調酒大賽冠軍後一炮而紅的日本調酒師 Shingo Gokan 以及他的團隊,店的靈感來自他住了十幾年的紐約。
[Shanghai 上海] Cafe Dan 丹咖啡
Cafe Dan
Add: No. 41, Alley 248 Taikang Lu (inside Tianzifang)
Tel: 6466 1042
Hours: 10am~11pm
Price: 100~150rmb/person
Visited: Dec 2016
In a city like Shanghai, where the F&B scene changes constantly with daily openings and closings, the restaurants and cafes that stick around become all the more rare and precious. Like Cafe Dan. This small cafe in Tianzifang has been there since 2007, and is perpetually filled with the alluring aroma of freshly brewed coffee and delicious Japanese comfort food that I don't mind going out of my way for.
There are three stories to Cafe Dan. The 1st floor is used mostly as storage, and to get to the seats one must climb up dangerously steep steps to the 2nd and 3rd floors. It's not an especially spacious cafe, and fills up quickly on weekends.
[Shanghai 上海] Cobra Lily 鏡花水月
Cobra Lily 鏡花水月
Add: No. 19, Alley 181, Taicang Road, Xintiandi, Shanghai
Tel: 5351 0116
Hours: 11:30am~12am
Price: [lunch] 78~128 rmb/set [dinner] 300~350 rmb/person
Visited: Nov 2016
For a very long time, my overall impression for Xintiandi has been: expensive restaurants serving not so amazing food. The recently-opened Cobra Lily, however, is something to be noticed. Brought to you by the team behind The Boxing Cat and Liquid Laundry, Cobra Lily does creative fusion Asian cuisine priced around 100 rmb for lunch and 300 rmb for dinner – it doesn't get much more reasonable for this neighborhood.
對新天地的總體印象是:餐廳個個價格高、東西卻又不怎麼樣,不過最近 The Boxing Cat 和 Liquid Laundry 的老板們新開的 "Cobra Lily 鏡花水月" 倒有點令人眼睛一亮 - 亞洲創意菜做的很有特色,而且午餐一百左右、晚餐三百左右的價位也不誇張。去了三次之後覺得可以推薦,速速整理下照片分享給你。
Let's take a look at the decor first. The two-storey space includes a restaurant, a bar, and a DJ stand on the 2nd floor. The designer kept the original Shikumen structure while incorporating modern oriental elements – wall illustrations, vases, napkins, cushions…sprinkled here and there.
[Shanghai 上海] Pierre Marcolini (2)
Pierre Marcolini
Add: B1, K11 Shopping Mall, 300 Huaihai Middle Road
Tel: 63337318
Hours: 10am-10pm
Price: [chocolates] 20 rmb/pc [hot chocolate] 98 rmb/glass [plated desserts] 168 rmb
Visited: Nov 2016
You might remember my post back in August about Pierre Marcolini coming to Shanghai. His newest boutique / salon de thé recently opened on the B1 floor of K11 Mall, and it doesn't only have chocolates and macarons for sale, but also a transparent chocolate lab that produces hot chocolate and plated desserts. On a cold winter day like this, a dose of chocolate really doesn't sound like a bad idea.
8月份介紹過的比利時巧克力大師 Pierre Marcolini,大家都還記得嗎?(沒看過這篇文章的可以點擊這裡)。最近他在K11的B1開了正式店面,不僅有巧克力和馬卡龍櫃台,還多了一個可以看到透明工作坊的巧克力吧,提供冬日必備的熱巧克力以及現點現做的盤飾甜點。冷飕飕的冬日,來這裡暖暖胃吧。
For those who didn't read the last post, here's a quick recap: Belgian chocolatier Pierre Marcolini, after winning the title of World Champion of Pastry in 1995, opened his first shop in Brussels, and subsequently in Paris, London, Tokyo, Monaco, Luxembourg etc. I first tasted his chocolates almost 6 years ago in Brussels, what a pleasant surprise to now find his shop in Shanghai.
給沒看過上一篇的人一個快速簡介:Pierre Marcolini 來自比利時,1995年在法國裏昂得到世界甜點冠軍之後,于布魯塞爾開了自己的第一家巧克力店,現在在巴黎、倫敦、東京、摩納哥等地方也都能看到他的作品。我在巴黎時因爲看的一個叫做 "Qui Sera Le Prochain Grand Pâtissier"(誰會成爲下一個甜點大師)的電視節目而認識了他,沒想到店居然開到了上海,有點令人開心。
Compared to his previous pop-up store, the new boutique now also offers financiers baked fresh in Shanghai everyday (chocolates and macarons are flown in from Belgium).
跟之前二樓的 pop-up store 相比,新店裏多了我很喜歡的常溫蛋糕 financier 費南雪,這些是上海當地每天新鮮烘焙的。其他的巧克力和馬卡龍都是在比利時的巧克力工廠制作後空運而來。

SEHWAN: Pakistani forces on Friday said that they had killed more than 100 'terrorists' after 88 people died in an attack, claimed by the IS militant group, on a Sufi shrine which stoked fears of a fresh surge in militancy.
The devastating blast came after a series of bloody extremist assaults this week, including a powerful suicide bomb in the eastern city of Lahore which killed 13 people and wounded dozens.
Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Friday visited the town of Sehwan in Sindh province where the latest attack took place.
Nawaz vowed to eliminate militants with the full force of the state.
Pakistan's military later said that operations were in progress across the country. "Over 100 terrorists have been killed since last night," it said, adding others had been detained.
The emergence of IS group and a Taliban resurgence would be a major blow to Pakistan, and the attacks have dented growing optimism over security after a decade-long war on militancy.
Police on Friday cordoned off the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, a 13th century Muslim saint, in Sehwan, some 200 kilometres (124 miles) northeast of financial hub Karachi.
The centuries-old shrine's white floor was smeared with blood, scattered with shoes, shawls, and baby bottles.
At 3:30 am the shrine's caretaker stood among the carnage and defiantly rang its bell, a daily ritual that he vowed to continue, telling AFP he will "not bow down to terrorists."
Health officials said the number of people killed in the shrine blast had jumped to 88, including at least 20 children, making it the deadliest attack in Pakistan since a 2014 assault on a Peshawar school.

John, the video is a compelling review of the events that have created our exit dilemma. I would add the impact that automation will have on our consumer driven economy, when workers are displaced and the population can no longer buy what the robots build. A more immediate challenge is that companies like Amazon and Uber have used high risk investment dollars to provide superior service at lower cost without a current imperative to make a profit. The end result will be those companies becoming monopolies, eliminating SMBs. Millenials can see the writing on this wall.

One Response to Business isn't Zero Sum
Very good points. Unfortunately we have become very short term and self centered thinkers. Those with the greatest economic or political power will do what is necessary to gain and retain their control. This creates sub-optimal binary states that we fluctuate between rather than making long term gains for all.

Right to the point!!! Perfectly stated of a perfectly chosen subject.
I would agree that he may not have suffered the same as the "typical" small business owner. Not fair to disqualify him as a business owner though. I would definitely qualify him as different. History will probably suggest the same.
I agree with you that indeed he is a business owner, though not a "typical" small guy, and definitely of a "different" breed. He grew up as part of the "privileged" society rather than "typical." Was sent to military school for discipline training by his father, likely an impatient man, where he thrived rather than succumb to being under control. During an interview on a national morning news program prior to the election, his son boldly proclaimed his father's diminished poll numbers only made him more determined because he was always the ultimate "winner."
Well meaning politicians often ask me, "What does small business need?" My replies have always been about specifics for Colorado. Your letter paints a broader, better, picture. Could you send a copy of the letter to every member of Congress?
It is a great letter minus politics, well done.
Superb and thoughtful reasoning.
Excellent! Could not agree more about the solution to immigration – we need a work force, just make it legal.
Great letter, John! Nothing but truth, and straight to the point. Although many small business owners are not adversely affected by estate tax due to current exemptions, it would be nice if a lifetime of work and wealth accumulation faced no penalty due to the certain eventuality of death.
You wrote what we're all thinking. I just hope our Representatives in Washington (and at the state level) can understand the simplicity of success: let business do business and don't hamstring us with undue regulation!
Love this so much, I posted to LinkedIn. Thanks for sharing!
In your letter to Trump, you say that he "is no different" than those in Washington who have never actually been business owners. I am wondering if this was a mistake. He may not have "started from scratch" but he has employees. He has financial statements and budgets. He has had the stress of failed businesses, dealings with employees, and over-regulated development hurdles. He has unbelievable financial risks with every "Tower" he develops. I am pretty certain he has people suing him daily considering the number of employees and customers he has.
As a second-generation business owner, I have had a lot set in my lap (not nearly as much as Trump, though!) with which to continue running a business. I will tell you I get idiots telling me I had everything handed to me. And I want to kick their ass! When the banker calls a special meeting to discuss financial ratios, there are no hand-outs. When the employee you trained and nurtured works their way up the ladder to become a manager…..and then steals from you, there is nothing easy about terminating the person and affecting their family's income source. When a new competitor comes to town that will drastically affect business, there is no sleep. It is true that starting with a pile of $$ makes it easier to keep things running INITIALLY, but in the end, incompetent leadership will result in the same ending. In the end, maintaining the legacy of your father has it's own pressure!
So, for all of his personality flaws, let's not insult the man more by grouping him in with the people in Washington that do not have a clue how to balance a budget, who fail to acknowledge that tighter border control would make our families safer, and who refuse to live by the same rules and regulations as the rest of the country. He is better equipped intellectually and experientially than any of those people. And, quite honestly, their characters are probably not much better – they just don't have the entire liberal media probing the depths of the closet in which their skeletons reside.
The Greatest thing about America is that it has been the land of opportunity, not the land of give aways. Several of these point are severely important in this regard. We should focus on how to give people back opportunities, and support them. The disintegration of the middle can and must be checked. A society that is divided into givers and takers does not fulfill one of our most important rights " the pursuit of happiness ".
Well said John!
Excellent! Thanks for your thoughts.

Sundance 2011: 'Another Earth' Sells; 'Manson Girls' Planned
Because people who don't understand English don't appreciate good dramatic films, Fox Searchlight purchased the rights in all English-speaking territories for Another Earth, a Sundance standout this year. The story revolves (like a planet! Go me!) around an MIT student who crashes her car into a van while trying to look out the window to see an emerging planet. The van also had one of those "baby on board" stickers and after the student gets out of jail she sets off to reconcile with the remaining members of the shattered family. William Mapother and Brit Marling star.
In other Sundance news, instead of a film screening or getting a distribution deal at the Park City fiesta, a new project was announced. Susanna Lo unveiled her plans to make Manson Girls and said that she'll begin production this spring. The film will chronicle the female follows of cult-leader and mass murdered Charles Manson. The film will star Taryn Manning (McGarrett's sister on Hawaii Five-O! I know that means nothing to most of you, but it mattered to me so there) and Heather Matarazzo (Princess Diaries). Considering this came up when I googled Manning, gonna go ahead and call this an awesome movie.

Man faces trial for murder of Kevin Molloy in Dublin in January
A 22-YEAR-OLD Dublin man is facing trial after he was charged today with the murder of an engineer who was found dead in his home in January.
Kevin Molloy, 41, is believed to have died about week before he was found by a concerned family member at the bottom of the stairs in his home at Glendhu Road, in Cabra, in Dublin. Relatives had been trying to contact him for days before he was discovered on February 1st last.
Mr Molloy, who had previously worked as an engineer, was a single man with no children, and had been living at his house in Cabra for about eight years.
A post-mortem found he died of blunt force trauma to the head and he was formally identified using DNA evidence.
Raymond Walsh was arrested at his north Dublin home at 11.18am today and brought to Finglas Garda station where he was charged with murder of Kevin Molloy at a time between January 23rd and February 1st last.
Mr Walsh, with an address at Carnlough Road, in Cabra West, was then brought in Garda custody to appear before Judge William Hamill at Dublin District Court.
Dressed in a baggy green T-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms and black boots, he sat silently as evidence of his arrest was given. Det Sergeant Thomas Lynch said that at 1.02pm yesterday/today (WED) the charge was put to Mr Walsh, "and he made no reply after caution".
The DPP has directed that the 22-year-old must be tried on indictment in the Central Criminal Court and a book of evidence needs to be prepared, Det Sergeant Lynch said.
Judge Hamill acceded to his request to remand Mr Walsh in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court on October 14th next.
Mr Walsh spoke briefly during the hearing to confirm that he was seeking free legal aid and to nominate his solicitor, Alan Doyle, to represent him. There was no objection from gardai and the court heard the accused was unemployed but not in receipt of social welfare.
He has not yet entered a plea and due to the nature of the charge he must make an application for bail in the High Court to get released pending his trial.

Low-probability insurance decisions: The role of concern
On the basis of a real high stakes insurance experiment with small probabilities of losses, we demonstrate that concern is a more important driver of WTP for insurance than subjective probability estimates when there is ambiguity surrounding the estimate. Concern is still important when probabilities are exactly given. It also helps explaining the low probability insurance puzzle well known from the literature, where a part of individuals pays too much and a part nothing for coverage, a result we are able to replicate. In our experiment, belonging to either the group of threshold persons or to those that pay far too much, is not related to probability judgments but to the degree an individual is concerned in our decision situation.
