1. Sugar price has crashed due to overproduction but expect a price rebound with lower production and increased consumption.
2. Annual cost of card fraud in the US alone is about $8.6 bn. Chip and Pin do not prevent other ID thefts.
3. There is an increase in food art, and a piece by Lernert and Sander looks awesome. I love the display by 2.5cm cubes of all types of unprocessed foods.

4. Research finds that children that grow up in a multilingual environment are better communicators.
5. Facebook is going to provide $15 dollars with $15 vacation days and $4000 bonus for having a child for contractors and vendors. I agree with Facebook's policy of treating contractors and vendors better but I am not sure whether $15 is the magic number. Maybe some contractors deserve more and others deserve less. Also, Facebook has to maintain its costs as well. All departments have budgets to meet so I would not be surprised if we see other type of outsourcing instead of using contractors and vendors.
