Surprise: the result of the survey reveals that Kenneth Branagh wins over the other interpreters of the great Hercule Poirot.
I take this opportunity to thank EVERYONE for sharing opinions and comments that I take into consideration with attention and interest in the teachings they contain.
Return to Tiffany is Maison Tiffany’s iconic collection.
Its origins date back to 1966, when Tiffany first began selling key chains with the now famous phrase “Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York.”
The key chains were assigned a unique registration number, which ensured that Tiffany & Co could trace the keys back to the owner if they were lost.
That’s why Return to Tiffany: because the prestigious Fifth Avenue store would be able to reunite the data through a precise and confidential serial number.
In the fifty years that have passed, the Return to Tiffany collection has made its mark as a symbol of the tradition of craftsmanship, a fundamental pillar of Tiffany.
A Tiffany advertisement showed the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day: a heart-shaped Return to Tiffany tag in 14-karat yellow gold, priced at $11 …
Over time, there have been several evolutions: in 1980, Tiffany debuted the first piece of jewelry incorporating the Return to Tiffany tag, a heart-shaped yellow gold pendant on a necklace.
The collection expanded to an assortment of rings, bracelets and earrings, each with its own personality, all engraved with the emblem reminiscent of Tiffany‘s unparalleled style.
Have you ever happened to lose something?
I’d like you to tell me that you found it or that it was returned to you by some good soul.
According to Article 928 of the Civil Code the delivery of the object found must be made known by publication for two successive Sundays and must remain posted for three days each time.
These seem like archaic concepts now that all kinds of information is disseminated online.
In Japan have a special name for lost or forgotten items: WASUREMONO 忘れ物.
Don’t you find it cute?
For them then, return is a very important issue; they are extremely precise and accurate.
The most commonly forgotten items are:
. cell phone
. bag
. train, bus, metro pass
. wallet
. umbrella
. keys
. electronic cigarette
Keys therefore come long after an object that did not exist in 1966: the cell phone, yet Tiffany’s continues to represent somewhat “the heart of New York.” Or not?
Don’t call them chips because they don’t contain potatoes, and that’s not even news: the term potato chips has become part of our language to imply slice of potato, usually fried: a package of potato chips as stated in Garzanti.
The Georgofili Academy attributes its invention to George Speck, also known as George Crum based on the legend that wealthy financier Cornelius Vanderbilt one day sent back a plate of fries three times dissatisfied with the cooking. So Crum cuts the potatoes into wafer-thin slices and fries them until they are so crisp that they cannot be eaten with a fork, and seasons them with lots of salt.
Later George Crum opened his own restaurant and began marketing the fries, which, in 1920 would be packaged in pouches.
As children we knew them in the classic Pai bags and then in slang we continued to call chips other kinds of bagged snacks although they were composed of corn, cheese or other ingredients.
Similarly, when we were children, saying flour corresponded to referring to the product of grinding wheat.
Instead, we now talk more about pseudo-grains and have come to the “new” protein flours, if we can call them that.
Various sites can be found that as an alternative to high-protein flours such as legume flour, for example, market flours made from dried grubs.
These are not urban legends, or even generalizations, it should be specified, but ingredients that are specifically stated in the labeling.
With one of these flours, “chips” have been produced, but perhaps they should be called something else, don’t call them chips.
What would be an appropriate name in your opinion?
Do you think you will eat any kind of food with these flours?
Is the feeling of annoyance that I personally feel only a psychological question?
According to a survey by Coldiretti dated May 2021 following approval by of Europe to the marketing of insect-based foods, 54% of Italians consider insects foreign to their food culture.
Are you in favor?
Is this just a protein like any other to you?
Let me introduce the KCDC QR code aka the Keep Calm & Drink Coffe QR code!
In the hope that it will be useful in some way, I hope to be able to spread it in a sensible way, of course as always advice is welcome 🙂
QR code is short for Quick Response and is basically a bar code on steroids. While the bar code stores information horizontally, the QR code does so both horizontally and vertically.
How?
In the case of barcodes, information can only be encoded in the transverse direction i.e., in one dimension, while in the case of 2D codes, information can be encoded in both transverse and longitudinal directions i.e., in two dimensions.
But it is more difficult for scanners to recognize the position of a 2D code than that of a bar code.
Based on this idea, a position detection pattern was created, located at the three corners of each code.
To avoid false recognition, the position detection pattern must have a unique shape.
Members of the development team began an exhaustive investigation of the relationship between black and white areas in images and characters printed on flyers, magazines, corrugated cardboard and other documents after reducing them to patterns with black and white areas.
Thus identifying the ratio that appeared least on the printed:1:1:3:1:1.
In this way, the widths of the black and white areas in the location detection pattern were determined, and the scanners became able to detect the code regardless of the scanning angle by finding this unique ratio.
But who composed this development team?
To find out, we need to take a step back: in the 1980s the barcode system was used in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and retail.
In the 1990s due to the shift from mass production of one type of product to more flexible production, more detailed production control was needed at production sites, and in association with this, the development of a bar code with a higher capacity was needed.
In 1992, Masahiro Hara 原正浩, who was engaged in the development of barcode readers and OCR optical character recognition devices at Denso, was asked to develop bar code readers that could read bar codes faster.
In addition, products were being increasingly resized, so it was necessary to create a code that could be printed in a smaller area.
After a year and a half from the start of the development project, following much trial and error, the QR Code system was successfully developed, capable of storing about 7,000 digits with the additional capability of encoding Kanji characters.
This code can store a large amount of information and at the same time can be read at over 10 times the speed of other codes.
Mine, however, keeps coffee time, try it to believe 🙂
On the fact that the bubbling of coffee rising in the mocha is a pleasant sound we all agree, right?
I report again the chance to download the ringtone.
We have already seen together an alternative use of the mocha for cooking mushrooms.
Do you know of any others?
Following Giuliano Sangiorgi‘s participation at the Locomotive Jazz Festival I saw that the mocha can become a musical instrument!
They are the MOKA Family big band.
They call themselves fourteen crazy musicians who, armed with instruments and musical mokes, shoot thoughtful lyrics to the rhythm of Symphonic Swing’n’Roll in a stage-musical game suspended between reality and imagination.
Sounds like a good saraband to me, the merriment is infectious, don’t you think?
So thinking about the musical mocha, what other object produces a sound that you particularly enjoy?
It could be the sizzle of pancakes, the “sclock” of the cap of a jam jar … here we also go on onomatopoeia and therefore I ask for help with the right words.
Dried fruit at Christmas sclock?
Or is it the cookies under the teeth that crackle?
In The Big Chill for example, the characters make a sheet of aluminum foil musical.
Cate Blanchett in Bandits uses ladle and pots.
And when you throw yourself on the sofa? The noise is muffled and preludes the welcome of comfort that awaits us.
Staying on the relaxation moments but also on the music theme: are you among those who under the roar of the shower water sing?
What do you like to sing?
If I say Nest in the Park, what do you think?
Specifically: Ticino Park, which I have already told you about.
Could it be a nest in the park for Ibis?
Or a nest in the park for them?
What about a den?
Maybe for the hare or for some other being that wanders around …
No: Nest in the Park is an Eco-camp, to be precise it is the first Italian Tentsile Experience Camp.
What does this mean?
It means camping tents suspended in the trees for a total immersion experience in Nature.
What do you think about?
Can you imagine waking up and having a coffee in the heart, in an actual sense, of the Ticino Park?
Or, more generally, what is your ideal vacation?
Adventure or comfort?
City or countryside?
I grew up experiencing camping vacations, not as extreme as the Park Nest, but equally significant enough to occupy a special place among the memories of the heart.
Of course, it’s all different now, we no longer talk about camping but glamping, and it seems light years from the time when postcards were sent …
And by the way, I’ve come a long way too, literally.
With my husband, holiday transformed: from the static “camping” to mile-long walks to visit as many places as possible.
Besides Paris I would mention Umbria.
But what about you? What holiday can you tell me about?
