Yes, this food is on fire. And it looks awesome. YouTube This is called The Bomb Pizza and it’s from The Place restaurant in Seoul. It might look just like a ball of dough that was caught on fire, but it’s actually a shell surrounding typical pizza toppings. After it’s lit on fire, the heat cooks the pizza toppings and melts the cheeses. You can eat it plain, or you can use any of the dipping sauces The Place provides. It might be worth traveling around the world just to eat this pizza. LOOK AT IT. Watch them serve up The Bomb…it’s totally hypnotizing. This one is red because it’s filled with gorgonzola and cranberries (and it’s perfect). (via BuzzFeed) Now, I’m not saying Americans couldn’t think of an awesome pizza creation like this, but it’s no surprise that The Bomb is being served up in Korea!

Placing your loved ones into a nursing home can be a stressful situation. Not only are you uprooting your family member from the lifestyle they’re used to, but you’re placing them under 24-hour care of nurses and staff that are really nothing more than complete strangers. Will your loved one receive the attention they need or will they suffer hateful neglect by staff that are only there for a paycheck? When 98-year-old Minnie Graham was placed in a nursing home, she began showing signs of heavy bruising and possible abuse. While the staff at the home assured Graham’s family that their grandmother had fallen out of her wheel chair several times, the family was unconvinced. After installing a hidden camera in her room, Graham’s grandchildren discovered that her injuries were the result of abuse by staff. Learn more about her harrowing story in the video below. Be warned that this content may be disturbing to some viewers.

For one group of mourners gathered at an Irish pub for a wake, the passing of a dear friend wasn’t about shedding tears. Instead, it was all about honoring his memory by rocking out in style! To mark the passing of Ger ‘Farmer’ Foley, the customers and staff of Falvey’s Bar in Killorglin, Ireland, decided to send off their friend in joyous fashion by singing his favorite song, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. What started innocently enough with one man, Brian O’Sullivan, climbing onto the bar counter to get the sing-along going, quickly became an all-out party. I might not have known Farmer Foley, but judging by the people he left behind, he clearly was a joy to be around. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/mr-brightside-pub/

MakerBot CEO Jenny LawtonJenny Lawton took a somewhat circuitous route to the helm of 3D printing leader MakerBot. Before joining the company as “Head of People” in 2011, Lawton spent ten years in retail, running her own bookstore in Greenwich, Connecticut. And though physical book selling might appear the polar opposite of 3D printing, which takes digital ideas and makes them physical, Lawton told me she learned a lot in the “down and dirty” retail business. “Retail is tough, tough work,” said Lawton and her bookstore taught her valuable lessons about small business, inventory management and the critical nature of customer relations. Lawton was able to layer that knowledge on top of a rather rich and impressive background in startups and technology. The 51 year old Quantico, Virginia, native studied applied math at Union College before going to work at the MIT in the late 1980s. In 1991, Lawton (along with Christopher Caldwell) launched the Web consulting firm Net Daemon Associates and rode the Internet wave (they created Monster.com) and subsequent bubble right up to the 1999 burst when Lawton sold the company to Interliant. After that, Lawton spent a couple of years in venture capital. Then 9/11 happened. It was, for Lawton, a pivotal experience. She been living what she called a “a go-go” lifestyle. After the terrorists attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, Lawton took stock and thought, “Hey, there’s a different way to do this.” Her love of reading led her to buy the bookstore and build it into a community based service. “I can’t tell you how cool it is to turn a kid onto reading.” A different passion Now, however, Lawton is turned on by the sound of 3D printers and whenever she gets to bring kids into her home to show them any of her five 3D printers in action. She’s also excited about the future of MakerBot, even if the short term does not include new 3D printing hardware. “I am happy to say that we’re not going to be launching new hardware products at CES,” said Lawton sounding gleeful. She told me that MakerBot introduced five new products at CES 2014, including a giant $7,000 3D printer capable of printing 10 objects at once. All that hardware leaves MakerBot with lots of work to do on many fronts, including solidifying the ecosystem and polishing the projects that are still just rolling out to customers (the mini started shipping in May.) “We really feel like they need time in the market. Next year is not the year of hardware: Focus on ecosystem and material space,” said Lawton. In other words, MakerBot’s new smart extruder will likely take the company well beyond printing with tradition 3D printing materials like the biodegradable PLC. Growing up A little more than a year ago, MakerBot was acquired by another 3D printing company, Stratasys. Little has changed since then, with the notable exception of the company leadership. Over the summer, MakerBot Co-Founder and CEO Bre Pettis […]
