Canada's 'innovation economy' has been over-hyped and needs a reality check
The Globe and Mail | Neil Desai and Graeme Moffat | Jul 20, 2018
Neil Desai and Graeme Moffat are executives with Canadian technology scale-ups and Fellows at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto.
There has been a steady drumbeat of headlines praising Canada's innovation economy of late, including our academic contributions in the area of artificial intelligence, federal "superclusters" that will foster collaboration between large multinationals, local startups and postsecondary institutions, and strategies to increase access to venture capital.
If you look past the feel-good headlines, the analysis of Canada's innovation activities is misguided at its best. It lacks the precise goal orientation necessary to deliver meaningful and sustainable economic growth relative to the significant public expenditures aimed at transforming our economy. At its worst, the current discourse entrenches a stranglehold on Canada's innovation inputs by universities, regional innovation centres and foreign tech giants.
A case in point is a recent Globe and Mail article titled, "Cutting out the middle-man not always best for startups." It suggests that Canadian startups should partner with other companies and act as a "middle man" rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. The piece cites Jay Shah, the head of the University of Waterloo tech accelerator Velocity, who infers that taking on incumbents is difficult and likely to make a startup some enemies.

The reality in the knowledge-driven global economy is that the ownership of intellectual property (IP) is paramount and a precondition to commercialization. Those who generate, own and commercialize valuable ideas have the greatest ability to create wealth. The rest – those companies and countries without deep IP stocks – will fight over table scraps.
The business strategies that allowed U.S. tech companies such as Facebook, and Chinese champions such as Huawei, to become global giants resemble colonial economics: concerted efforts to own every valuable idea and extract rents on nearly insurmountable advantages. These include monopolies on information, talent, data flows and the sidelining of smaller competitors.
This new reality should not surprise Mr. Shah. His own early-stage company, BufferBox, which aimed to create efficiencies in parcel delivery, was acquired by Google along with a number of others taking on the same challenge. His company's technology was eventually mothballed. Google likely didn't think twice about the cost of acquiring the Canadian-created technology. Their goal wasn't to grow Canadian jobs and prosperity, but to pre-empt competitors.
Acquisitions of early-stage Canadian tech companies are often heralded as great successes but these are false positives for our national economy. While some founders and their investors may pocket a few million dollars, this is the wrong metric by which to evaluate the benefits of publicly supported innovation. Canadian taxpayers spend billions annually on university research and development projects, the federal Industrial Research Assistance Program, Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credits, and Canada's technology hubs and accelerators (to name just a few of many programs).
Early acquisition and the expatriation of IP will too often result in the widespread economic benefits of Canadian public investment in innovation – job creation and tax revenue that commercialization creates – occurring elsewhere.
Under these circumstances, it is deeply troubling that those who speak loudest on behalf of our innovation ecosystem not only encourage the acquisition of early-stage Canadian companies and innovations before they grow to scale, but actively enable it.

Competition Bureau weighs in on fintech: urgent action required
For example, tens of millions of taxpayers' dollars have flowed to state-backed Chinese technology giant Huawei from various public institutions all while that company engaged in a concerted effort to acquire and expatriate Canadian-generated IP, as revealed by a recent Globe and Mail investigation. At the same time, the head of MaRS, a Toronto technology hub that houses the Canadian offices of several foreign tech giants, proclaimed that "Toronto's tech ecosystem needs to continue attracting global firms such as Samsung and Uber" as if it's a certainty that Canadian prosperity will follow from their presence.
The growing presence of foreign multinationals has devastating effects on scaling Canadian tech companies. Our companies already face higher hurdles in accessing capital. Now they are facing an increasing talent crunch. Ultimately, the increased presence of foreign giants in our own backyard restricts their ability to grow to a scale that sustains meaningful technical and non-technical job and wage growth for Canadians. Under this reality, early acquisition seems to be the preferred business strategy for Canadian tech entrepreneurs. This will have long-term consequences to our national prosperity and maintaining our standard of living.

NCFA Guest Post | July 16, 2019 Managing Finances in a New Startup Every day, new startups are launched and another entrepreneur decides to begin building a business. One of the challenges that startups often face is managing their money effectively. Managing business finances can differ from personal finances as one mistake could trigger several issues in your business. Being as meticulous and accurate as possible is one of many ways to grow finances in a healthy way. It's also imperative that you keep your expenses low which can be done in numerous ways. On that note, here is how you can manage your finances if you happen to have a new startup. Create a Budget Every business that wants to effectively manage its finances needs a budget.

This is part 3 of a 4 part series. What is your background, and how did you come to found Impression Ventures? I'm graduated from Western in the mid-90s with two degrees. Comp-Eng and Comp-Sci. I immediately started my own business, excited by the endless possibilities the internet could bring to gaming. I had no idea what I was doing - needless to say, that company didn't work out. But the lessons I learned being a first-time entrepreneur have stayed with me to this day. From there I moved to the Valley, worked for some all-star companies; Electronic Arts, LucasArts, Linden Lab, got an MBA and founded two more businesses, Millions of Us & Virtual Greats. After a decade in the San Francisco area, I moved back to Toronto. After a fourth startup (didn't work out) - I got very interested in the intersection of finance and technology, two businesses sectors Canadian's excel at, but there was ...
Coindesk |Michael J Casey | Jul 15, 2019 Let's be clear: It was not the substance of Donald Trump's tweet that made his critique of bitcoin and Libra so important last week. It should be of no surprise that this US President would declare himself "not a fan" of "highly volatile" cryptocurrencies "based on thin air" that "facilitate unlawful behavior" or that he much prefers a "dependable and reliable" currency "called the United States Dollar!" (Anyone who assumed Trump would be a "drain-the-swamp" libertarian advocate for censorship-resistant money had an ill-informed view of a man whose government is stacked with former Wall Street execs, who opposes free trade and immigration, and takes a draconian approach to a variety of civil rights and social liberties.) What matters is the very fact that a sitting president mentioned cryptocurrencies at all. Indeed, from a price perspective, Trump's disparaging remarks are, on balance, positive for bitcoin. By Friday evening, the post-tweet price action reflected that. See: Fintech Fridays Episode 32: Rallying behind Bitcoin with Frederick T. Pye More importantly, the tweet marks a symbolic milestone in the gradual but ever-expanding presence that cryptocurrency occupies in the public conversation around money and policy. It also marks ...
Cointelegraph | Helen Partz | July 10, 2019 Global payment giant Visa has recorded its second investment in a crypto project by leading a $40 million funding round of Anchorage startup, according to a Fortune report on July 10. Visa has reportedly led the round along with major cryptocurrency venture capital (VC) firm Blockchain Capital to support institutional-grade crypto custody service Anchorage, which previously raised $17 million in an investment led by Andreessen Horowitz. In the new round, both the amount of Visa's contribution and Anchorage's private valuation were not disclosed, the report notes. Both Visa and Anchorage are founding members of Facebook's cryptocurrency project Libra, which was officially revealed on June 18. See: Ethereum will match Visa in scale in a 'couple of years' says founder As Fortune noted, the recent funding round is the second known investment of Visa in a crypto-related firm, with the payment giant having participated in a $30 million funding round in blockchain startup Chain back in 2015 alongside with Nasdaq and Citi. In late 2018, Chain was acquired by Stellar-focused firm Lightyear. The new funding will be used in Anchorage's mission to provide an alternative to cold storage-based institutional custodies to ensure the ...
Blockstack wins first-ever SEC approval for a token offering under Reg A+ listing
The Block Crypto | Frank Chaparro | July 10, 2019 Quick Take The Security and Exchange Commission approved Blockstack's token offering under Reg A+, an accelerated path for smaller companies to raise money publicly This is the first approval the SEC gave for a token offering, after a series of crackdowns the regulator led against unregistered ICOs it deems as securities The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave blockchain startup Blockstack the go-ahead today to conduct a $28 million digital token offering under Regulation A+, the first token offering of its kind ever approved by the SEC, according to the firm. The SEC has launched a series of crackdowns on unregistered initial coin offerings (ICOs), with the latest including a dispute with messaging app Kik over its $100 million ICO. Still, Reg A+ offerings have had their own headaches. Reg A+ is a fast track for smaller companies to publicly raise money with less strenuous accounting and disclosure standards than a regular token offering requires. Even so, Blockstack founder Muneeb Ali told the Wall Street Journal that the process is still very long and costly since the SEC had to devise a brand new protocol for token offerings under Reg ...

Facebook gets more official pushback on Libra
CNN Business | Clare Duffy | July 4, 2019 New York (CNN Business)American lawmakers are concerned that Facebook's Libra cryptocurrency may try to challenge the dollar and are demanding the company stand down. They want Facebook to immediately halt development of Libra until regulators have time to examine the plans and "take action," according to a letter sent Tuesday to the company by a group of lawmakers from the House Financial Services Committee. Chairwoman Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California, first suggested a moratorium on development the day Libra was announced. The new letter represents an escalation of pressure on Facebook's digital currency plans, which have also been scrutinized by regulators around the world. Other interest groups have weighed in, too: More than 30 organizations sent a similar request to Facebook on Tuesday, saying US and foreign regulatory systems are not prepared to address questions about "national sovereignty, corporate power, consumer protection" and other issues raised by the project. The lawmakers said they want to hold public hearings on the "risks and benefits of cryptocurrency-based activities and explore legislative solutions." "Failure to cease implementation before we can do so risks a new Swiss-based financial system that is too big to ...

VIEWPOINT: Expand Impact of Disability Studies
November 6, 2019 by Grace Ramstad 2 Comments
When I arrived on Georgetown University's campus as a freshman in 2016, the disability studies minor did not exist, and the primary way I thought about my own ability was as "not disabled."
The disability studies minor was created in 2017 after three years of advocacy as a cluster of three classes and several on-campus events. While the growth of the program from nonexistence to a cluster to an 18-credit minor has been incredibly important, I want to emphasize the importance of not just increasing the program's growth, but also increasing the institutional advancement of its mission across campus.
When I was a sophomore, I took my first disability studies course, "Disability and Culture" with professor Sylvia Önder, after which I applied to join the disability studies minor.
This class is where I learned the social model of disability, the idea that society is what disables people and thus what should be changed instead of the idea that disabilities are individual ailments that people should seek to "cure." While there are limits to every theoretical frame, this one completely recalibrated how I thought about disability.
The social model of disability made me question what impairments are labeled as "disabilities" or not, such as why someone labeled as blind is considered "disabled" but not someone who needs glasses or contacts. It made me question the role of the environment, such as if someone who is Deaf is also "disabled" if everyone uses the same sign language as them. It made me question my understanding of my own ability, such as wondering if feeling undisabled by my anxiety because I've shaped most of my daily life around it is in itself a disabling experience.
The meaning of disability can be explored more, but the primary idea is that what "counts" as disabled is determined by society. It's determined by how society is structured for movement and interactions, what impairments are normalizes and what capabilities are assumed based on these impairments.
When I was a junior, I took "Introduction to Disability Studies" and learned about the history of disability justice movements and their connection to initiatives at Georgetown.
As we learned the history of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I also heard about Georgetown's newest dorm's failure to pass ADA compliance standards. I learned that dorms are only required to have one accessible unit, and that Georgetown follows this law to the letter with dorms such as Henle Village, where I was living. I learned that historical properties have alternative requirements and saw this play out in the resistance to making White-Gravenor Hall actually accessible.
Despite what I was learning in class about the successes of the disability justice movement, outside of class I was witnessing the many ways disabled people's needs were being devalued and dismissed. These examples show how just one law has affected physical accessibility on Georgetown's campus, but they highlight the need to see disability studies not just as a minor, but also as a lens through which we must critique our society and the institutions within it — including Georgetown University.
Now a senior, I hope to see the disability studies minor grow in its institutional support — as a program and as a way of understanding what justice means.
There are logistical limits that must be addressed for the program to grow. For example, the full-time non-tenure line faculty director also teaches three courses this semester. The minor was recently awarded its first tenure line faculty spot — or rather, half a spot, as the faculty member will split their time between the philosophy department and disability studies program. I don't wish to position this program against others in a fight for resources, only to emphasize that the impact of the program can only expand to the capacity of its staffing.
That said, continuing to expand the impact of the program is critical. This field holds lessons all Georgetown students should be exposed to, not just people in the minor. I see this significance in my friend taking her first disability studies course as part of her English major. She started it thinking it wouldn't relate to her, but realized disability studies is a frame through which to understand people, writing and the experiences of her own life more expansively. The interdisciplinary nature of the disability studies program means that expanding the course selection not only benefits students in the minor, but also students engaged in any of the disciplines connected to it.
As an understanding of disability studies spreads, it's also important that lessons from the discipline are reflected in changes to Georgetown's culture and policies. This objective means working toward a campus that is physically accessible, professors who design their classrooms for maximum accessibility and a culture that does not value students by their ability to perform toward normative measures of success at the expense of their minds and bodies.
Disability studies students and faculty are already working to achieve these ideals and develop new best practices through their classes, events and research, but the rest of campus also needs to pay greater attention to what's happening in these spaces. The disability studies program cannot be seen as a solution in and of itself, as the only place of accessible pedagogy. The program must be seen as the guiding beacon of change across the entire institution.
When I arrived on campus as a freshman, the disability studies minor did not exist, and the primary way I thought about my own ability was as "not disabled." Now a senior, I am minoring in disability studies, and I know that my relationship to ability is complicated and ever changing.
I know that I largely benefit from ableism, able to physically access this campus and exist unmarked by any visible disabilities. However, I also know that when I feel deficient for struggling to finish a paper by the deadline because the professor only allows extensions requested 48 hours before the deadline, but I didn't get a 48 hour notice on the feelings of anxiety that are wracking my body and breaking my concentration, it is not me that needs to change. I know that a more accessible Georgetown is possible, and that a necessary part of its actualization will be investing in and listening to disability studies.
Grace Ramstad is a senior in the College.
About Grace Ramstad
Beth Foraker says
Thank you for this article and this important call to action! I would like to nudge Georgetown even further. Georgetown University is a UCEDD – a University Center for Excellence on Developmental Disability. Although there are 67 UCEDDs across the country, Georgetown is the only UCEDD that is located in a Catholic university. This makes Georgetown uniquely important. There are inclusive college programs for students with intellectual disabilities…none, however, at any Catholic university. If you want to truly make disability studies woven into every part of Georgetown, then build a four year inclusive college program with inclusive living for these marginalized students. This effort would massively move Georgetown students and faculty into more awareness, more social justice and an opportunity to be more Catholic. I encourage this effort in every way. The time is now. Please begin.
MARISA C BROWN says
Thank you for your advocacy in this matter. I am retired from the Georgetown University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD). My observations over 30 years reinforces your mention of the University satisfied with meeting the minimum requirements of the ADA. In fact, the building in which the UCEDD is housed does not have a door plate so that someone using a wheelchair can park in the parking garage and enter the elevator lobby independently. When the University was asked about this several years ago they reported that this was not a requirement because the University rented that office space. How about God's exhortation to treat all people with equal dignity?

John Wayne x O'Douds: Western Scents Made Modern
Photo courtesy of John Wayne Enterprises
John Wayne and O'Douds Apothecary have teamed up to create a line of products made for the modern man. With scents reminiscent of an authentic campfire or being out in nature on the western trail, the ethically sourced, hand crafted products are inspired by the iconic actor evoking his sense of Americana spirit and grit.
The line consists of candles, cologne and pomades all made in America and use essential oils to capture in a scent the adventure of the outdoors. Like John Wayne himself, the products are instant classics that appeal to every man.
We reached out the the founder of O'Douds, Clayton Douds, to dig into the inspiration behind the collection:
How were you first introduced to John Wayne?
I was first introduced to John Wayne through watching True Grit with my dad when I was growing up. It was one of those types of memories that you'll never forget and I've been a big fan of John Wayne ever since.
Tell us about O'Douds.
O'Douds started from a passion for quality products made with natural ingredients. We began in late 2013 with simple aspirations of selling pomades to our friends, online, and maybe a few stores. However, that small goal quickly evolved into a much larger vision, and we've been growing and expanding ever since. Our goal is to make products that not only work great, but are crafted from ingredients that we can proudly stand behind. Our ingredients and packaging are sustainable, well sourced, and everything we make is healthy for you and your body, no harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, parabens, or any of that nonsense. O'Douds is sensible grooming for sensible humans.
What inspired you to take on this project?
Well as soon as we were approached by John Wayne Enterprises, we knew we wanted to participate. John Wayne is an american icon, and being a brand that is dedicated to american manufacturing, it just made perfect sense. There's so much inspiration in John Wayne's life and movies, I knew that creating products to reflect that would be both challenging and rewarding.
** A note from John Wayne Enterprises Creative Director, Candice K Moore: "I actually came across O'Douds at a tradeshow, and the visuals and scents surrounding their booth emanated characteristics of a modern day John Wayne. Opting for hand drawn, rugged design and musky, masculine scents, I knew straight away this would be a fitting partnership."
How did you decide on the fragrances?
In my opinion John Wayne symbolizes early life in the rapidly growing American West. We wanted to craft scents that were unique and captured the smell and feel of that time. All of our scents are made from essential oils exclusively, which means that when we say a scent contains Texas Cedarwood, that scent was harvested directly from real Texas cedar wood with nothing else added. After many different ideas and variations, we settled on Campfire and Western Trail for our scents. Our goal with Campfire was to take the take the full experience of sitting around a campfire with friends. Campfire embodies not only the smoky, woodsy notes of the fire, but also the sweet, savory, and bitter notes of coffee and chocolate. It consists of Virginia Cedarwood, Patchouli, Coffee, Cypress, Vanilla, Lavender and a few other notes. Western Trail was crafted to embody the fresh open air of the western trail. Woodsy notes of Texas Cedarwood blend with spicy notes of White Sage and floral notes of Lavender to transport you out of your home and onto the western trail.
As a man living in modern America, what do you think John Wayne represents today?
I think John Wayne represents the beauty of adventure and the great outdoors. So much has changed since his time, but those two things will always remain.

As the oldest child of a teacher and a farmer, I still hold near and dear the values I learned from my rural upbringing on an Iowa farm. Those values include honesty, sincerity, loyalty, the knowledge of hard work and education. I was raised with a strong sense of faith which continues to guides my life. I am living my lifelong dream of practicing law. I graduated from Wayne Community High School in 1985. I attended and obtained a B.S in Political Science and Economics from Iowa State in 1989. I pursued my legal Education and graduated from Drake University in 1993 with my J.D. Upon graduation from law school I worked for a small law firm handling a wide variety of cases. I find working with people very natural and easy. My work has centered around helping those in crisis with need. My manta still to this day is to serve and help others. We continue to grow and learn throughout our lives. One of my greatest learning experiences has been in my role as a parent. I underestimated the wealth of knowledge and insight I would glean as a parent. I have served in numerous volunteer and leadership positions within the school, church and my children's activities. I approach all life's endeavors with passion and zest. I have three children. My oldest daughter attends the University of Iowa, my son is a high school student and my youngest is still a tween. It has been a joy and at times a challenge experiencing their growth and maturity. My husband is a professional and works for a fortune 500 company. My interests and activities outside the legal profession revolve around my children and their interests. Sports have and will always be a big part of my life, from my participation in high school, to cheering on all the Iowa collegiate teams, to attending professional games, coaching my children and sitting in the high school stands as a parent. The adversary nature of law tends to tear down families and shred them apart. One can only understand the fullness of this statement by witnessing years of trial work and it's destruction upon families. It is imperative to have a competent experienced counselor in your corner the aftermath in a contested family law trial is akin to the survivors of the Japanese's nuclear bombing in WWII. It is important in choosing an attorney to find someone you can trust and relate and that you listen to and follow their lead. I would consider it a privilege and honor to help guide your through this most difficult times. I can be reached at Loriholmlaw@aol.com or 515-247-9295.

Sue Clancy Celebrates Life in the Northwest
A newcomer to the Northwest is filling Second Story Gallery in January with insights into her new home. Sue Clancy thinks Northwesterners enjoy the simple things "like walks in the woods, fishing on the river, good food, the arts, dogs, books and coffee!" She says her artwork is about story-telling and these "little enjoyments" led in a roundabout way to her show "Petite Pleasures."
Clancy's show follows on the heels of an exhibit by paper artists at 23Sandy Gallery in Portland. She has participated in national and international exhibits and has had recent one-woman shows at the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Joseph Gierek Fine Art Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Access-Meed Gallery, Miami Dade College, Miami Florida. Her artwork, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, has been exhibited and purchased by institutions such as the Wexford Ireland Arts Center in Wexford, Ireland, The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in Boulder, Colorado, and exhibit spaces in Wisconsin, California, Arizona and elsewhere.
Clancy says she has decided she'll create the art and let her audience decide what labels to apply to it and "puzzle out what it means." She offers the hint that her titles are clues. "I'm often asked 'Why animal characters?'" she confides, to which she replies "why not?"
"Petite Pleasures" will be unveiled at a reception for the artist, free and open to the public, as part of the Downtown Camas Association's First Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. on January 4th. The show will continue through Jan. 28 upstairs in the Camas Public Library during regular library hours, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
Don't miss this wonderful exhibit - see you on the 4th
Artist's Reception

Laura Caldwell and Al Carness

Early on Victorian jewelry enjoyed a lot of mystic with hidden definitions being popular. The endocentric compound bracelets where the first notification of each gemstone spelled a word of friendship were quite popular. For example a bracelet arranged with Lapis, Opal, Vermeil [hessonite garnet] and Emerald would spell Love. The Art Neuf period once again saw becomes fashion and jewelry. Chameleons and serpents entwined themselves around bracelets. The mystical Egyptian scarab was found on bracelets and rings. Other popular critters included dragonflies, butterflies, bees, peacocks, swans, and even bats. This was a very figural period attached to nature. If jewelry did not depict creatures this depicted flower blossoms or flower buds.

You Have Permission to Feel
Due to the winter weather, we got to create sacred space online! In case you missed the live broadcast via YouTube, here's the link: https://youtu.be/Ekj2DTfNaUY
We're exploring JOY this week as part of our Fruit of the Spirit series. My own personal attempt to cultivate more joy seems to have backfired. Honestly, I've been feeling pretty depressed the past few days.
The worst part is this: I have been resisting my own sadness, and beating myself up for feeling sad - which makes it worse.
My sadness has been met with confusion, self doubt, and self criticism. There's this super loud voice in my head saying, "You have no reason to be sad! You have a roof over your head, work you love to do, a loving family, cute kittens, and you didn't lose power last week! Quit feeling bad and just focus on what's good, plenty of people are a lot worse off than you!"
We live in a society that disregards our emotional lives because they aren't productive or profitable. There's no way to optimize our emotions or become more efficient at feeling them. Our emotions become problems we need to solve and we can't move on until we've fixed ourselves. Galatians 22 itself has been used to perpetuate rejection of emotion, considering it weakness of "the flesh".
If our emotions aren't problems to solve, what are we supposed to do with them?
Emotions must be felt, validated, and expressed. Then, we must accept ourselves for having the felt the feeling. So my inner monologue changes from "Stop feeling sad" to "I feel sad, and I love and accept myself." God has already accepted us for all our negativity, faults, and failures. Our faith falls short when we don't accept ourselves to the extent that God accepts us.
All of this starts with permission. Give yourself permission to be fully yourself. Give yourself permission to feel joy in the midst of overwhelm. Give yourself permission to feel love in the midst of fear.
Is there an emotion or experience that you haven't accepted? Need a little help with it? Email me and we'll set a time to get together in person or talk over the phone. I'm here for you.
Do You Have a Care & Safety Plan?

Beto Teams Up With Far-Left Bloomberg Group To Flip Key Seat In Texas, Turn State Blue
By Ryan Saavedra
Failed Democrat presidential candidate Robert Francis O'Rourke is aggressively campaigning for state-level candidates for the Texas legislature in traditionally safe Republican counties and is partnering with radical anti-freedom groups to help promote his agenda.
Top Republican sources in Texas tell The Daily Wire that they are concerned about O'Rourke's efforts because they say that Republican voters in districts where there are special elections are not energized because they feel like their districts are safe from being flipped.
The sources said that the districts are in play and that Democrats only need to pick up a few seats and they will be able to flip the Texas House, which could reverberate throughout the state for decades as the moment that turned Texas blue.
O'Rourke is campaigning for left-wing candidate Eliz Markowitz, whose Second Amendment views align closely with O'Rourke's extremist views.
O'Rourke's presidential campaign fizzled after her revealed his extreme anti-Second Amendment views, which included confiscating legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens. O'Rourke declared his radical view after he told Texans the year before in his failed Senate bid that if they owned AR-15s and they used it responsibly, they should be able to keep their firearms.
O'Rourke and Markowitz have met and are engaged with Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg's Mom's Demand Action anti-freedom group, which exists to fight against the Second Amendment.
GOP sources told The Daily Wire they are concerned that O'Rourke and Moms Demand Action, which both have fringe views that are not in line with many Texans, were teaming up to try to flip a red seat while running on an anti-Second Amendment agenda.
O'Rourke tweeted, "With the amazing @MomsDemand and Women's Center leadership in Fort Bend county. We discussed the connection between domestic violence and gun violence and the need to have courageous common sense leadership in the state house — @ElizMarkowitz"

— Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) December 17, 2019
O'Rourke has used his massive Twitter account, which has 1.6 million followers, to aggressively promote Markowitz and to solicit donations for her.
"Last year 17 TX State House Republicans won their election by less than 10 points. We can flip these seats by reaching un-registered Democrats. Your donation will be used to send them pre-filled voter registration forms w/ stamped return envelope," O'Rourke wrote in a tweet late last year. "We win nine seats in the TX legislature, Dems will have a majority. That means an end to racist gerrymandering, a chance to address gun violence, reproductive rights, Medicaid expansion, & climate change in Texas. Will be positive for Congressional & Presidential races as well."

Texas Tribune political correspondent Patrick Svitek reported on Wednesday that the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee was funneling well over an additional hundred thousand dollars into the race to push Markowitz over the edge.
Svitek wrote: "@DLCC announces it's putting another $125K into #HD28 for @ElizMarkowitz , bringing its total investment there to $195K. The latest spend 'will support a broadcast TV buy for the final days of the campaign.'"

Markowitz is such a fringe candidate that Elizabeth Warren, who is considered to be among the most far-left of the Democrat candidates running the 2020 election, endorsed her recently and communist China sympathizer Michael Bloomberg also stumped for her on the campaign trail.
Markowitz is running against Republican Gary Gates, a successful business owner who has created hundreds of jobs for Texans.
It may be raining outside, but we're out here at the polls greeting voters. Please make sure to vote early over the next couple days. I look forward to chatting with everyone who comes to vote! #GatesForTX pic.twitter.com/foFjLbVnCt

"Gary Gates' life story is one of triumph over tragedy and never giving up. He's exactly the sort of principled conservative our state needs. I trust Gary to secure our border, fight for our schools, defend innocent life, and be a strong voice for taxpayers." -Cecilia Abbott pic.twitter.com/qhkeSedmWb

Me: "— What am I going to do?
P.: — What do you mean?
M.: — Je ne les trouve pas ! Ils n'en ont pas !
P.: — They don't have what?
M.: — Des biscuits à la cuillère !
M.: — Ladyfingers! I need some to make my dessert!
P.: — Can't you make some?
I guess P. was right. Totally right. Sam had giving me the hint somehow a while ago. I could totally make some. I needed them.
When I used to live in France, I would just take for granted that if I wanted des biscuits à la cuillère, I simply had to run to my local supermarket. The store did not need to be special, as any supermarket or épicerie would do.
Moi : — Bonjour, je voudrais des biscuits à la cuillère, vous les rangez où ?
Vendeur : — Là-bas, dans le rayon des petits gâteaux.
Me: "— Hello, I would like to buy ladyfingers. Where do you keep them?
No fuss, easy and straightforward. I never questioned how accessible they were.
But I do not live in France anymore.
One thing I have learned from the fantastic opportunities I have to live overseas is that I am forced to step outside of my comfort zone. Every day I learn something new, even if there are things I will never manage to agree with, such as be tolerant about Bostonian bad drivers or understand why people I have met before sometime call our house to speak with P., but do not even say something like "Hello, it's Michael P. here.. May I speak with P.?". Instead, I hear a I-don't-know-you "Hi, is P. there?", as if I were some stranger living in the house or maybe the au-pair. Call me a snob, but I just do not get that! Never take things for granted. So things are definitely different from place to place, and country to country. As to my food searches, it taught me that it just takes a little more effort to get the ingredients that I want and need. And it is a good thing.
Initially, the shape of this biscuit was round. What gave the biscuit its name? La cuillère, the spoon, used to place amounts of dough on the baking sheet. Starting around the 19th century, the shape changed to become long rather than round. A spoon would no longer be used but a decoration bag instead, which explains the new shape of the biscuit. Who created them? Antonin Carême. What are they? What we can describe as small finger-shaped sponge cakes.
I needed wide short ladyfingers because of a dessert I am totally obsessed with, which I will talk about later. Made and tested, it is just waiting dans les coulisses (behind the scene) to be introduced. I ran a series of tests and researched for the best texture, until I settled with the following recipe. My ladyfingers turned out light and airy, probably not as pretty as store-bought ones, but just like I wanted them to be. The good news was that I could eat one, two, or three, and it was like I was eating nothing. Or hardly anything. I felt sweetness, softness, like snow meting in my mouth. After all, now that I think about it, ladyfingers used to be the type of biscuit my mum would give to me when I still had no teeth, to calm me down if I was crying. Not that this happened often as I can tell this to you, I was le bébé le plus gentil du monde (the nicest baby in the world), always smiling! I hope you believe me.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Using a stand mixer, beat the egg whites with 1 Tbsp sugar, then progressively add the rest of the sugar until the whites are firm and form peaks.
Sift the flour and cornstarch separately.
Add the egg yolks to the whites, in the mixer.
Add the two flours using a spatula. Be careful when mixing so that you keep the airiness of the preparation.
Take a baking sheet and cover it with a piece of parchment paper, or use a silicone baking mat.
Use a decoration bag to make little sticks, 2.5″ long as they spread a little. Make sure that you space them out.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and let rest for 1 mn until the sugar is absorbed. Repeat a second time.
Place the ladyfingers in the oven and cook for about 15 mns, or until they have a nice golden colour.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool a little before placing them on a cooling rack.
Séparez les jaunes des blancs. Montez les blancs en neige avec 1 càs de sucre, puis ajoutez le reste de sucre progressivement, jusqu'à ce que la texture soit ferme.
Tamisez la farine et la maïzena séparément.
Incorporez les jaunes d'oeufs à la neige ferme, toujours au mixeur.
Ajoutez délicatement les 2 farines à la main, sans cette fois utiliser le mixeur.
Prenez une feuille cigare et utilisez une poche à douille pour déposer la pâte sous forme de petits bâtonnets de 6-7 cm (ils s'étalent un peu).
Saupoudrez de sucre glace, en 2 fois. (laissez la pâte absorber le sucre glace avant de saupoudrer avec le sucre glace une 2ème fois).
Faites cuire au four pendant 15 mns.
Sortez du four et laissez-les refroidir sur une grille.
ils sont sublimes, une vraie pâtissière en chef.
Tu as raison, Béa! Your ladyfingers are indeed best and they look beautiful to me. Especially with the bow. Wish I could have some to dip in my espresso!
Tu nous prépares une charlotte?
J'ai hâte de voir à quelle sauce tu vas les croquer !
Les photos sont sublimes, les bsicuits également.
I tried to make a croque madame today, but i didn't get the egg part right. As you are French, I was wondering if you could tell me how to do that.
lovely, bea! i saw sam's post a while ago also and had bookmarked it for a day when i have some time (i am on a tiramisu quest).
looks like you produced quite successful results! cannot wait to see the end of this story.
Tiramisu, charlotte? c'est de saison, très beaux tes biscuits et tu as vu, si vite faits finalement et tellement meilleurs que ceux du commerce!
I'm sure yours are transcend the store-bought variety, but I just saw a package of lady fingers at Trader Joe's!
Superbes biscuits, je vais me lancer.
I would take your ladyfingers over store-bought ladyfingers any day! They look divine!
Lovely… I can't wait to see what you're up to!
As usual – great pictures and styling.
C'est tout à fait le genre de biscuits que l'on ne pense jamais réaliser ! merci pour la recette, cela peut-être utile.
I'm certain that yours will be better than store bought, at least store bought here in the US! They look gorgeous!
je n'avais justement pas de recettes pour ce type de biscuits qui sont indispensables pour tout un tas de merveilleuses recettes, je note donc tout de suite la tienne!
those lady fingers look divine!
Hi Bea, I have been a regular but silent reader of your blog for some time now. Looking at the marvelous ladyfingers you made today though made me want to comment immediately. They look absolutely divine.
I admire your photography skills. Everything you post has such a balance of color and texture. In this photo for instance you have paired the fingers with the ribbon and the fallen crumbs…beautiful.
How did you get that brown background in the third photo?
Un vrai régal les biscuits confectionnés par nos petites mains expertes en comparaison avec les ceuss en boite, il n'y a pas photos !!!
J'ai hate de voir ce que tu vas nous concocter avec ces petits delices.
Natalie, I knew you would believe me! Yeah!
Ivonne, ah yes I bet!
Loukoum, merci! ahah, comme Framboise, je garde la surprise 😉 dans quelques jours!
Laurange, oui, bientot! Dis-moi, comme toi, je detesterais entendre ca au telephone! Je ne sais pas pourquoi ca m'enerve tant, mais vraiment, ca m'enerve!
Mary, I sent you a mail! Let me know!
iamchanelle, it is coming soon! Promise!
Mercotte, ahah, patience 😉 Oui tu as raison ces desserts sont tres de saison!
Suzy, thanks so much. I will check there. Wholefoods does carry some, but they are not the texture wanted, so maybe the ones at Trader Joes are different!
Fanny, merci de ton gentil message!
Lilo, oui c'est vrai, c'est bon et facile!
Ashwini, thanks a lot for your sweet note. I am glad to hear you enjoy my blog! The brown background is actually a coloured piece of paper. Very useful to give a different background when you need one!
Rowena, ah yes for sure, you are spoiled my dear! I think I need a trip to Italy! Mind you, Hawai is tempting as well. I was there so long ago that I need another trip!
Merci Lemich, tres gentil a toi! Oui tu brules!
Bon weeken. Ici, nous avons un long weekend!
You French are 'un peu mechant', tying those cookies up like that!
Trader Joes has lady fingers, do you have one nearby? Some things that were easy to ind in Paris are not so easy here – and vice versa – like baking soda! Tiny boxes from the pharmacy!
Oh My, Bea these ladyfingers looks perfect. Tiramisu is my favorite dessert and i make it often,ie whenever i can i find imported ladyfingers and exorbitant prices !!! I am going to try this one out, WOW !!! Thank you !!!!
Thanks Béa! what a relief to find your website and this recipe of biscuits à la cuillère… ouf! I thought I could never make my favourite déssert (tiramisu aussi) here in UK! I'll try this recipe asap…!
Hi! I did this recipe and it's the most delightful biscuit I've ever tasted. I have this tea blog and this recipe is great for tea time! I hope you don't mind but I put a link on my blog. Thanx for sharing this!
First time on this website and I just have to say that it is so exciting to find such lovely amazing looking recipes. Thanks everyone for helping others find such great recipes and websites.
I love love your site!!! It brings a smile to my foodie soul. I tried this recipe tonight..and I failed like always when it comes to baking. I don't have a electric mixer so I did it by hand…and I thought it would turn out great bc I did get soft peak egg whites at least…..I will have to try this again once I get a hold of a mixer.
I tried it again by hand and whisk every to stiff peak by hand…hard work but it turned out LOVELY!!! thanks!

Low Carbon Scotland: behaviours framework
Energy and Climate Change Directorate
This framework outlines what we will do to drive and support the move to low carbon living in the lead-up to the first key climate change target in 2020.
How best can we influence behaviours?
We are heading for a Low Carbon Scotland…
What should people be doing differently?
Greener Together Campaign
'Too Good To Waste' STV Programmes
What about Business Engagement?
How will the Scottish Government support Low Carbon Behaviours?
What can our partners do to support Low Carbon Behaviours?
How will we track progress on Low Carbon Behaviours?
So, a Low Carbon Scotland will be…
In order to successfully influence the way people behave, it is crucial to recognise that all our behaviour is contextualised – within the values and attitudes that we hold, the habits we have learned, the people around us, and the tools and infrastructure available to us in our day-to-day lives. Research commissioned by the Scottish Government demonstrates that considering the individual level in combination with the social and material levels is likely to be more successful in influencing behaviour [7] .
What do we mean by Individual, Social and Material ( ISM)?
The individual context includes factors that affect the choices made by individuals and the behaviours they undertake. These include an individual's values, attitudes and skills, as well as the calculations they make before acting including personal evaluations of costs and benefits.
The social context includes factors that exist in the social realm, beyond the individual yet shaping their behaviours. These influences include understandings that are shared amongst groups, such as social norms and the meanings attached to particular activities, as well as people's networks and relationships, and the institutions and opinion leaders that influence how groups of individuals behave.
The material context includes factors that are 'out there' in the environment and wider society, which both constrain and shape behaviour. These influences include existing infrastructures, technologies and regulations, as well as other 'softer' influences such as the time and schedules of everyday life.
That's all very theoretical…how does this translate into action?
By understanding better the various influences on how people act, multiple levers can be pulled at the same time in order to more successfully impact on people's behaviours. There's a wide range of specific actions that can be taken to influence behaviours, but simply put:
At individual level: making it easy by making the sustainable choice the default choice.
At social level: building common cause (values) and supporting the development of positive social norms.
At material level: supporting the development of technologies and infrastructure ( e.g. electric cars and charging points), considering regulation where appropriate, and influencing softer material factors ( e.g. people's schedules).
The success of recycling levels in Scotland provides an excellent illustration of this: a series of campaigns and information provided to households have informed us at the individual level how and why we should recycle; recycling is something we see our neighbours doing, so it is becoming a social norm; and each household in Scotland has been provided with a range of bins to support them at the material level to change their behaviour.
The Scottish Government is committed to working with partners to roll this approach out. To support this, we will publish a user guide on the Individual, Social and Material ( ISM) tool for behaviour change in spring 2013, and we will offer a series of introductory workshops to internal government officials, NGOs, intermediaries and other partners throughout 2013-14 on the practical application of the ISM tool.
What is the role of values in low carbon behaviours?
Communicating a low carbon lifestyle is more complex than relying solely on traditional money-saving motivators. It means activating values around positive wellbeing and health, social and family cohesion and a strong sense of community, and linking up individual actions to build a picture of a coherent and affirmative lifestyle worth aspiring to.
Research demonstrates that we all hold a range of values in common. These can be temporarily 'engaged' by certain communications or experiences – which in turn can affect our attitudes and behaviours. If we are reminded of our intrinsic values (those that are inherently rewarding to pursue, e.g. generosity, family, social justice, concern for others), we are more likely to support pro-environmental policies than if we are reminded of extrinsic values (based on external reward, such as financial success and status) – without any mention of the environment being made. This can be a very powerful tool in influencing behaviours, and the Scottish Government is looking to incorporate this research into its programme of work on low carbon behaviour planned for 2013 and beyond.

Hook's Revenge: The Pirate Code
AUTHOR: Heidi Schulz
GENRE: Fantasy Fiction
SUMMARY: Fresh off a fearsome encounter with the Neverland crocodile, Jocelyn Hook decides the most practical plan is to hunt down her father's famous fortune. After all, she'll need the gold to fund her adventuring in the future. (And luckily, Hook left her the map.) But the map proves to be a bit harder to crack than Jocelyn had hoped, and she's convinced that the horrible Peter Pan might be the only one with the answers. Of course, he doesn't really feel like helping her, so Jocelyn takes the only reasonable course of action left to her: she kidnaps his mother. Evie, though, is absolutely thrilled to be taken prisoner, so Jocelyn's daring ploy doesn't have quite the effect she'd planned for. Along with the problem of her all-too-willing captive, Jocelyn must also contend with Captain Krueger, whose general policy is that no deed is too dastardly when it comes to stealing Hook's treasure. And with the ever-shifting Whens of the Neverland working against her as well, Jocelyn, Evie, Roger, and the rest of the Hook's Revenge crew have their work cut out for them. In this rambunctious showdown between characters new and old, Jocelyn puts her own brand of pirating to the test in a quest to save her future and those she loves.

Meet The Most Photo-Realistic Automotive Artist In America
By Aaron Miller Published On 01/28/2015
@aaron_m_miller
By Aaron Miller @aaron_m_miller Published On 01/28/2015
What you're looking at is the work of a Houston-born artist, named Cheryl Kelley. She was born in the late 1960s, and grew up at the tail end of the original muscle car era. It makes sense, then, that when her artistic passion became a career, she focused most of her effort on muscle cars.
Take a good look here, because most of her oil-on-canvas paintings could easily be mistaken for an actual photograph.
That was actually her goal from the outset. These all started out as photographs Cheryl took at various car shows over the years.
She then takes her photos and paints them, which, in her words, makes them, "somewhat more real in the painting than their photographic predecessor."
Reflection on point.
The way she sees it, manipulating the cars' reflection in each photo adds a depth you can't get from a photograph.
She also says it enables her to bring out each car's feminine lines.
Status: baller.
The feminine lines are actually crucial to her overall point of the cars, so much so that there's a juxtaposition in that the cars, "seemingly fueled by raw testosterone, were ironically most definitely feminine in form."
Or, to put it a different way, she considers the car itself to be reality, and the world within the reflection to be fantasy.
She eventually expanded beyond muscle cars to do more classics and even a few European rides, but each one is still instantly recognizable as her work.
Of course, it's also possible to overthink it. At the end of the day, she's making gorgeous paintings from real photos of some of the most classic cars anyone would be proud to keep in his or her garage.
Aaron Miller is the Rides editor for Supercompressor, and can be found on Twitter. He'd love to see her paint historic race cars in action.

WASHINGTON: Scientists realized last year that the thick ice in Greenland covered up the trauma of Earth. Now, they found additional evidence.
The study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters described a possible second impact crater buried under more than a mile (about 1.6 km) of ice in northwestern Greenland.

Investigators with a ghost of a chance
By OC Tribune Staff on March 8, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
A CREW from Orange County Ghosts and Legends at the Azteca Mexican Restaurant on Main Street in Garden Grove. Azteca owner Jennifer Stewart is in front; head ghost hunter Cris August is at her left shoulder. We're pretty sure that's not the ghost of Elvis in the back row (Orange County Tribune photos).
Are those things that go bump in the night just the cat sashaying through the dining room or perhaps something a bit more … unsettling?
Well, who you gonna …. No, wait. Not gonna do it. "We've been called 'Ghostbusters' more than we care to remember," said Cris August, head paranormal investigator for OC Ghosts and Legends, a group that spends a lot of time looking into the not-quite explainable.
Representatives of the group were recently in Garden Grove looking into ghost stories in the city's downtown area, specifically the Azteca Mexican Restaurant and the Gem Theater on Main Street. Both are located in buildings that were constructed many decades ago, and have long been rumored to host apparitions and more.
AZTECA MEXICAN RESTAURANT on Main Street in downtown Garden Grove.
"I bought this place about five years ago," said Jennifer Stewart, owner of the Elvis-themed eatery and lounge. J.J. (J.J. Jauregui, the former owner of the restaurant) has relayed lots of interesting stories to me." Employees, she said, recounted that "they've seen little things," including an airborne spoon, items moving on their own and lights coming on and off.
"They'll be talking about Connie (Skipworth, who established the Azteca) and half an hour later lights will be turning on and off and it won't happen again until the next time they talk about her," added Stewart.
Orange County's older cities have a rich catalog of legends about the possibly supernatural. Like most old theaters, the Gem – which dates back to the Silent Film era of nearly a century ago – has ghostly legends. Ghosts sitting in the front row during rehearsals … places in the theater that are unaccountably cold.
"At the Gem Theater," said August, "the jury is still out. There have been some audio recordings of voices."
At Garden Grove High School not far away, in the original main classroom building, the Long Beach Earthquake of 1933 took the life of student Elizabeth Pollard. In the rebuilt structure, the tale has her shade still haunting the place, especially at night.
In Westminster, said August, there was a prominent person who is an actor and wanted to maintain his privacy. "There were a lot of reports of things happening in the middle of the night. Closed circuit cameras showed some shadows crossing in front of the lens, but [we] didn't find anything specific."
GEM THEATER on Main Street in Garden Grove has its ghost legends, as do many other stages and cinemas.
Huntington Beach's city pier has been the site for many legends and "sightings," including shades, full-body apparitions "as real as anyone would see," some darker than dark. "However, they are difficult to investigate because the place is so wide open," he said.
The group uses several pieces of apparatus, including cameras and sonic devices to try to detect or capture evidence of entities from the other side. But do they actually think ghosts are real?
"We have various beliefs," said August. "We're trying to keep an open mind, but some [of us] are definitely more skeptical than others."
OC Ghosts and Legends defines itself as "an organization dedicated to and specializing in anomalous and paranormal research." But it has an entertainment element as well, conducting tours and excursions to allegedly haunted locations across Southern California, including San Juan Capistrano, Silverado Canyon and San Diego.
If you're interested in the Halloween side of Orange County, you can reach them at www.ocghostsandlegends.com. And if you want to see for yourself if the Azteca (www.aztecaoc.com) is really haunted, you can drop in for tacos and karaoke. But don't be too shocked if the lights start turning off and on.

Watching the GT/Minn game, hoping to see any sort of preview for next year. Minnesota is rolling hard and it looks like a sad exit is in store for PJ. But if GT is on the way to the cellar, get them on the calendar quick!
I'd love to schedule GT.
Next few years are definitely gonna inhale vigorously for them.
Their arrogant fans will get what they deserve..... Continually badmouthing PJ and his style..... Just wait.
Slow start, is it the blue pants of awesomeness? A few of 3 of outs to start and finally a first down on the 3rd drive.
Kinda understanding why they bad-mouthed PJ.
How bout this vaunted flexbone offense.
I read where PJ said Tracy Ham was the best player he ever coached! No surprise there.
As I think of our game at Minnesota next year, I am impressed with the size of the U of M offensive linemen. They are huge!
PJ seems to be tired of being at Tech and Tech is tired of PJ being there.
This game is an illustration of that.
Fake news. Never in the history of the flexbone has an offense been stopped. Pitch and dive are always there.
Totally the defense's fault that the offense's 3 points aren't standing up.
How about that 7.5 minute drive while down 17? Ball control at its finest.


Sauder commerce undergrads never cease to amaze me with their talent, commitment and creativity. At least the ones that choose to be part of the d.studio exhibit these traits. Last Wednesday was the final studio where we invited the CEOs of the 5 business that the students worked with during the major project of term to view the final results.
True enough, these reviews can turn into celebrations (or love fests as someone commented), but I am okay with this. Partly because the studio learning process is incremental with constant feedback, questions and comments. This is not the first time that students get feedback. And, actually, not the last. Florin and I are meeting next week to assign grades to the projects and provide written feedback: what they did well and where improvements can be found.
I am not from the school of "let's really grind them during the review" — I just don't think it is productive, especially if there are clients in the room who have worked hard along side the students and are excited by the results. Which these clients were. There were lots of business insights and ideas for these clients to take forward. Some of the groups are continuing some work with the clients because of their interest in the projects.
One of the insights from this exercise was the value of having different types of businesses and clients. The students were designing and implementing design workshops for very different clients and contexts — so they learned a lot from each other. So the final review was an opportunity to extend the learning.
I also learned a lot from this studio (as I usually do); I am determined to not completely renovate the studio for the Fall (which I tend to do) — instead I want to take the learning and refine and improve what we offered this term.
The students' insights themselves were very useful — especially the group that realized that sometimes there just isn't an answer right now. Not enough info. Needs research. And so on.
Here are some photos of the teams and their clients.


Cheese, glorious cheese. Short of lactose intolerance or hardline veganism, no diet is complete without this wonderful food.
Regardless of whether you like it in your burger, or slathered over a pile of fries fresh from the fryer, or sprinkled generously over a piping-hot plate of pasta, it can be universally agreed that most dishes can be enhanced by the addition of cheese.
If you are a die-hard disciple of this dairy delicacy, you owe it to yourself to check out the dishes below.
Tea with milk? Sure. The British started the tradition centuries ago. But tea with cheese? Surely that was taking it a little too far.
As it turns out, our fears were unfounded: so mixing tea and cheese is not a bad idea after all. We apologise for ever doubting you, oh mighty cheese.
Raclette may be the name of this cheese, but most have come to associate it specifically in its melted form. The heated cheese is scraped onto a plate, and eaten with dried meat, pickles and other vegetables. It looks gloriously goopy, but its pungent smell makes it more of an acquired taste.
While previously the domain of fine French and Swiss dining, raclette has now entered the mainstream. Many restaurants now offer raclette cheese on steak, sandwiches, salads and many other dishes.
One of the most popular dessert sensations to hit Singapore a while back was the baked cheese tart. Its sheer simplicity makes one wonder why they were not invented sooner. It's not rocket science — take a fruit tart, or any kind of tart, and fill it with cheese instead of its regular filling.
Now, this Japanese treat is all over the island, but no matter how many outlets pop up, it always suffers from this one problem: the queues everywhere are endless.
More importantly, with many aspiring imitators trying to get a piece of the action, it can be difficult to get quality assurance. How many times have you tried a cheese tart from a new brand, only to find it cold, hard and tasteless on the inside? No thanks.
Forget slapping a slice of cheddar on an innocuous piece of white bread and calling it a day. Nowadays, cafés and restaurants all over the world aspire to make the humble grilled cheese into an art form by adding all manner of ingredients to it.
One way in which cheese toast has been taken to an extreme is rainbow toast, which uses different food colourings or ingredients (like beetroot, for instance) to turn your lunch into an edible technicolour dreamcoat.
The real question is, does it taste very different from regular cheese on toast? Not really. Its main purpose is just to look good on your Instagram feed, if that's what you're most concerned with.
The Korean love for cheese is evident in its prevalence in their food, such as melted over tteokbokki or sprinkled over bite-sized pieces of fried chicken.
But one of the most iconic appearances of cheese is in the Korean's signature army stew, or budae-jigae. No pot is complete without a square of cheese slowly melting over a slab of instant noodle.
Naturally, the only logical progression was not to put the cheese on the instant noodles, but rather, put the instant noodles into the cheese instead.
Easy to make and even easier to eat, this dish makes for a convenient and simple TV dinner in a pinch.
But some have made it their mission in life to elevate mac and cheese beyond its humble origins, putting all manner of ingredients into it. Lobster? Yes. Bacon? A staple at this point. Rendang? You know it.
Sometimes we get tired of finding increasingly inventive ways to shoehorn cheese into our dishes. Why can't cheese belong where it should?
So go back to the basics with Pizza Hut's new Cheesy 7 Pan Pizza. No frills, no rainbow food colouring, no rendang or lobster, no Korean-inspired stews — just an indulgence of cheese on pizza, as it should be.
So why get the Cheesy 7 pizza instead of a regular cheese pizza? Because you know you can never have enough cheese.
As the name suggests, the Cheesy 7 pizza brings not one, not two, but seven different types of cheeses together into one glorious pizza. So on top of the reliable standard mozzarella, you also get the best of Emmental, Parmesan, Gouda, Edam, cheddar and cream cheese in all their cheesy goodness.
The Cheesy 7 pizza likes to keep things simple, but that doesn't mean you can't mix things up a bit. Cheese lovers can opt for the Cheesy 7 Hawaiian with that good old pineapple zest, or the Cheesy 7 Chicken Pepperoni for that New York touch.
So, love doesn't have to be complicated, least of all your love for cheese. After the increasingly complicated attempts to cheesify everything, the unabashed simplicity of the Cheesy 7 pizza is like coming home to family.
Take your pick of the Original, Hawaiian or Chicken Pepperoni from now until Sep 12 or while stocks last in either the regular (six slices) or large (eight slices) size.
Having a pizza party at home? Pizza Hut has you covered with these Cheesy 7 delivery-exclusive deals. The Cheesy Fun Deal offers four Honey Roasted Wings and a Garlic Bread alongside the Cheesy 7 pizza, while the Cheesy Feast has two regular Pan Pizzas, 10 Honey Roasted Wings, six Chicken Tenders with cheese sauce and a Cheesy Fries to go with your choice of Cheesy 7 pizza.
But for the ultimate cheesy pizza party, go for the National Day Feast that is available until Aug 19, which offers a choice of two large Cheesy 7 pizzas alongside a large Pan Pizza or Hand Stretched Thin Pizza. The National Day Feast also comes with a staggering array of sides, including a WingStreet Snack Box, six Chicken Tenders with cheese sauce, two Garlic Breads and two Cheesy Fries, with six Cinnamon Breadsticks and a Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie to round things out.
