We thought we’d show them who was a pencil pusher by breaking Wthe Guinness World Record for Most Pencils Balanced On End In One Minute. At the very least we hoped it might be quite good practice for the inevitable return of chopsticks in one of our future record attempts. The rules are simple: Place standard-size commercially available pencils on a flat, hard surface. Pick them up and balance them one at a time on their unsharpened end using only one hand. The other hand must be behind your back at all times. The pencils must be standing for at least five seconds after the minute has expired to count towards the total. The current record is 31 and was set by Velentina Pagano in Venice on April 8, 2011. HERE’S HOW WE DID Marilyn, Arts & Culture Editor: 10 pencils Ryan, Intern: 9 pencils Lauren, Web Editor: 8 pencils Iain, Deputy Managing Editor: 7 pencils Max, Assistant Web Editor: 7 pencils Jonathan, Managing Editor: 5 pencils Tiffany, Style and Living Editor: 5 pencils Judy, Photographer: 1 pencil TIPS AND STRATEGIES • Buy new pencils. Ours were old and we found out the hard way that trying to balance a pencil on the chewed end is not easy. • Remaining calm is easier said than done. Still, the more flustered you are, the more likely you are to knock over your hard work.

It is perhaps the first scholarly attempt to study the vegetarian community in China that does not treat it as an Oriental phenomenon isolated from any outside influence.

  • 14 Tipos De Pães Mundiais Que Você Precisa Conhecer
    14 tipos de pães mundiais que você precisa conhecer 1. Pães alemães Aqui no Brasil, conhecemos como “pão alemão” uma variedade que, no original, se chama Pumpernickel. Trata-se de um pão integral de centeio extremamente denso, tradicionalmente preparado com fermentação natural (ou Sauerteig, em alemão) e que é consumido em finas fatias, geralmente com queijo, embutidos, salmão defumado e outros frios. Mas além do Pumpernickel, a panificação alemã possui uma imensa variedade de pães, que deixa qualquer padeiro (profissional ou amador) de queixo caído. Quer ver? Stollen Uma rosca doce de Natal, originária da cidade de Dresden e que teria sido criada para lembrar o menino Jesus envolto em panos. Kürbiskernbrötchen ou -brot O pãozinho ou pão de centeio coberto em sementes de abóbora previamente torradas na manteiga. Weißbrötchen ou Semmel Um pãozinho branco mais firme que o nosso pão francês, muito apreciado no café da manhã ou nos eventos ao ar livre, em que é partido ao meio e servido com um salsichão. Brezel ou Pretzel Do latim brachium (braço), o Pretzel surgiu na região sul da Alemanha, entre a Áustria e a Suíça, e tem o formato de dois braços entrelaçados. Coberto com grãos de sal grosso, ele é o acompanhamento ideal para a cerveja da região. Vale ressaltar que existem nas padarias alemãs duas categorias de pão: o grande Brot, servido em fatias e consumido ao longo de vários dias, e os pequeninos Brötchen, mais macios e servidos partidos ao meio. 2. Pães franceses Quando se fala em pão francês, logo pensamos no nosso pãozinho branco de cada dia, de miolo macio e crosta bem fina.

Published as: CIRCD reports of social interaction, 1(4), 1-34, Centre of Interaction Research and Communications Design, Uni- Executive summary This report shows that opticians and people with interests in the eyeglass business need to be ready to understand, assist with and even sell smart glasses within the next five to seven years. On the background of an analysis based on research, papers, news stories, interviews and surveys, seven theses about the technological devel- opment and nearby future of smart glasses are proposed. The report shows that: • Today’s smart glasses are similar to the first versions of smartphones. But technological development is exponential and smart glasses will soon be mainstream. However, not as widely adopted as smartphones. • Google Glass is an icebreaker product and other products are following in the slipstream. There are already many different smart glass products on the market and on a prototy- pe level. All the big IT companies and many startups are already producing and/or have patents for new products. • Early adopters will start using smart glasses in three years and the early majority in five to seven years. • In terms of use and design, smart glasses will be divided into two types: 1) glasses for industrial, health and fitness purposes that will have many functionalities and thus a more computerized and sporty design, and 2) glasses for the ordinary consumer that will look more like ordinary glasses with fashionable designs.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
