My Bio will tell you about my past and present. The past is important but nothing is more important as the present ME! The Beautiful and strong ME! The ME that makes the people who know and love me happy to be in my presence, the present me is what matters. My values and morals and my way of thinking are what is important, the past was just the "making of", the preview one see's of movies and series, the past is an ancient scroll where most of my life is narrated by my parents, teachers, siblings and the other significant people who come and go from one's life, My present is the true picture of what I am and who I am so let me give you insight into who I am: I am a straight talker yet I am loving and a helpful person who is always willing to learn new things, I follow rules only when it makes sense and is fair. I was born to a mixed-race couple in the "old South Africa (during apartheid)" while the political climate was unstable and in its rebirth stage, my mixed-race background has made me culturally rich. ancestrally I come from a diverse lineage, I have a Scottish and Irish father, a mother with little french a little Indian (Afghan and Pakistani), I have a little of everything, which has made me the odd one out as I look different from the rest of my family, I do not fit in with the brown people, I do not fit in with the white people and there is nothing wrong with that I do not need to be labeled to feel like I belong, I am one of the reasons why our country is known as the rainbow nation a mix and mashed beautiful product of all that is good. my personality and likes have made me the odd one out and the weird one, luckily my husband is just as weird as I am, I always tell him my weird matches his weird, it makes us a perfect match, we were made for each other destined to be together almost as if it was written in the stars, a destiny fulfilled with a happy future in the ahead of us. happy and together forever and always, I still find it hard to believe that there is someone out there who not only gets me, who understands me, my way of thinking, and the way I view the world but most importantly who LOVE'S ME for ME! I consider myself spiritual and not religious although I was raised catholic and attended a convent where a lot of who I am today was made. The making of ME! The sisters of mercy and catholicism had the opposite of the intended effect on me I am not deeply rooted in the catholic faith, even though I had many lovable and amazing teachers and friends who made my school days worthwhile. religion does not make sense to me and I consider much of it to be untrue, designed and shaped to manipulate and to rule the masses or one could say those who prefer not to think for themselves who would rather be sheep and led to the slaughterhouse willingly. My philosophy is this: as long as I love myself and my neighbor I believe Im living the right way and try to instill those principles and values in my two sons. I believe that knowing and giving Love encompasses all the values needed to live a healthy life, Love naturally breeds, respect, forgiveness, and mindfulness. Love means living from the heart when one lives from the heart it naturally voids the ego, the ego destroys the manically malevolent whereas the heart creates and builds, Love is a tool with which one can build a life rich in emotional health, enlightenment, and mental stability. Love is my church, love is my essence and if ever I am in doubt I read up on the writings left to us by all the great masters, Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha the Dalai lama and so many more masters, some of whom are more modern and still living and basically all their writings convey the message of Love. So this me and there is more to me than what is written here, but what is written here is more than enough to get to know me better.

Antonio Stradivari è il liutaio più conosciuto al mondo, italiano, menzionato anche con il nominativo in lingua latina Antonius Stradivarius. È stato un costruttore di strumenti a corde di straordinaria fattura come violini, sin dall'inizio aveva modificato i modelli del suo maestro, intervenendo sulle bombature, la forma, le "f" e gli spessori. Probabilmente, fu proprio lui a compiere i primi studi sulla modifica dell'inclinazione del manico. Fino ad allora il manico era semplicemente appoggiato alle fasce e fissato con tre chiodi (metodo barocco), ma questi strumenti si potevano apprezzare solo in piccoli ambienti. Con l'avvento della musica moderna, che veniva eseguita nei teatri, fu deciso di dar maggiore tensione alle corde per avere più potenza di suono. Da qui la necessità di inclinare maggiormente il manico all'indietro e di eseguire l'"incastro", cioè incastrare e incollare all'interno dello zocchetto una parte del manico in modo che potesse resistere alla tensione creata. Fu poi necessario allungare la catena ed anche la tastiera in modo da poter accedere alle posizioni più alte e sostituendo quest'ultima con un legno più resistente: l'ebano. Era nato il violino moderno! Nacquero così i Grandi Stradivari, le sue migliori opere furono costruite tra il 1698 ed il 1725. Raggiunse l'apice tra il 1725 ed il 1730. Dopo il 1730 molti strumenti portano la scritta nell'etichetta "Sub disciplina Stradivarii", probabilmente perché costruiti dai suoi figli. Oltre a violini, viole e violoncelli, Stradivari creò anch arpe, chitarre, liuti e tiorbe; si stima in tutto oltre 1100 strumenti musicali.iole, violoncelli, chitarre, arpe; in quest'ambito è universalmente riconosciuto come uno dei migliori.

Lo squero di San Trovaso sorge lungo il rio omonimo e risale a prima del Seicento. Squero è il tipico cantiere veneziano dove si creano, costruiscono e riparano le imbarcazioni di dimensioni contenute come gondole, pupparini, sandoli, sciopòni e altre barche tipiche della tradizione lagunare veneziana. Il termine squero deriva dalla parola "squara" che indica una squadra di persone che cooperano per costruire le imbarcazioni. È uno dei pochissimi squeri ancora in funzione a Venezia. L'edificio che lo ospita ha la forma tipica delle case di montagna, circostanza eccezionale per Venezia. Il motivo è duplice: da una parte tanto i carpentieri quanto il legname da costruzione provenivano dal Cadore, dall'altra l'inclinazione del piazzale antestante e la tettoia che in parte lo ricopre erano utili in caso di pioggia, oltre che come deposito per gli strumenti di lavoro.
