One-pot wonders! Sausages with lentils, herbs and wine | Automatic Blister Packing Machine

Savoy, the original candy company behind Cri Cri, was founded by four immigrants in a Caracas garage in 1941. One of them, John Miller, had brought a chocolate-making machine with him from Scotland, and they used it to create the Savoy chocolate bar. Almost 30 years later, the company created a puffed-rice version. In 1980, that candy bar got its own name, Cri Cri, thanks to a formula the founders picked up by talking to friends, neighbors and kids: The name needed to be short and easy to pronounce. Today Savoy is one of the leading candy companies in Venezuela, and its products are often given in December during Amigo Secreto, which is essentially the Venezuelan version of Secret Santa.

A Bon o Bon is a milk-chocolate shell over a crisp wafer filled with a flavored cream. Every day, factories in Argentina, Mexico and Brazil produce 3,000 of the sweet treats every minute, and 70 percent of production is exported throughout the world. In 1989, the brand helped establish Sweetness Week in Argentina, a clever marketing campaign that encourages candy lovers to exchange confections for kisses. It worked: Candy sales in Argentina rise about 20 percent for a week every July. The candy’s tagline? ‘‘Where there is emotion, there is a Bon o Bon.’’

“Big companies build enormous machines for the Hormels and Oscar Mayers that want to gas flush. They come with bells and whistles that drive up the price,” grouses Tom Gautreaux, executive vice president with Maxwell Chase Technologies (www.maxwellchase.com), an Atlanta firm specializing in active packaging. Dependable machines that consistently provide a reliable seal are more in line with packagers’ needs, he claims.

The Société des Produits de Sucre Caprice, based in Algiers, has been manufacturing these small, soft caramels since 1965. Today the candy is also distributed in some countries in the Maghreb region (North Africa) and in parts of Europe. Though the company also manufactures fruit chews, flavored caramels — including toffee, coffee and mint — and tutti-frutti-flavored bubble gum, the classic caramel in the gold wrapper is still an Algerian favorite.

Blue River, a Silicon Valley startup bought by U.S. tractor company Deere & Co. for $305 million last year, has also developed a machine using on-board cameras to distinguish weeds from crops and apply herbicides only where necessary.

It was, in fact, caramel-colored, but Kimmerle, a 48-year-old native Chicagoan who has written four books on candy and helps companies develop new recipes, was after something more specific. Someone else suggested “bronze,” which seemed like a great adjective to me, but this didn’t satisfy Kimmerle either. She pressed on: “We want to come up with a standard language for describing everything about this candy.” It felt as if the group were in the midst of a middle-school pop quiz and no one was prepared.

Rose all day. Following the national trend, rose claimed two more spots this year with a grand total of five. While not dominating the list, 5 percent is a big jump from the solo placement we saw in 2012.

Dave Hamilton, who is 41 and lives in south London, retired five years ago after spending 15 years working in data analytics. “I was always convinced there was more to life and more fun to be had in the world of nonwork,” he says. He has paid off his mortgage and, after spending the final seven years of his working life saving £35,000 of his £75,000 salary, has accumulated a pot of £500,000. Properly invested, he says, this should keep him going for the rest of his life. “I have very simple tastes. I don’t buy flashy clothes, cars, computers. My aim wasn’t to retire rich, but to retire with a realistic understanding of what I would need for my living standards to continue.”

In a two-week period the same year, he paid over $16,000 to the Islamic State trade division in the Dijlah district and $14,000 to the one in Kirkuk. He gave an $8,400 cash advance to the group’s Hawija office, $16,800 to the land department and $8,400 to the Islamic State province straddling the Euphrates River.

Two fifths of UK workers (40 percent) also say they would visit their workplace canteen more often if the service was quicker or they could pre order their food and pick it up without queuing at all. However, at the moment, only 17 percent of workplace canteens offer a pre-ordering functionality to customers.
