An Hour of Wolves and Shattered Shields

Just a quick one today, something a bit different that I spotted in amongst some other models and took a fancy to painting; a warrior of Minas Tirith. To the best of my knowledge this is the first Lord of the Rings model I’ve painted (that hadn’t been converted into something else – more on that soon). I received it as part of a bits drop from fellow blogger IRO and rather than cannibalise it for components for other projects decided to just paint him as is.

Gondor Lord of the Rings Wudugast (1)Gondor Lord of the Rings Wudugast (3)Gondor Lord of the Rings Wudugast (2)

I don’t really know why I’ve always steered away from painting Lord of the Rings models. For me the books were one of the key moments in my introduction to fantasy fiction and something which has proved to have a lifelong influence, and the films are, in my view, amongst the greatest movies ever made (I even enjoyed the Hobbit trilogy, although I admit there were a few moments that missed the mark). However the aesthetic of the Middle Earth models from GW have never really done anything for me so although it all sounds great in theory I’ve instead ended up focusing my interests in the myriad other possible settings. Still I did enjoy painting this brave warrior of Gondor so who knows, perhaps the age of men isn’t over quite yet.

Soundcore Infini: A $99 Budget Soundbar that Delivers Some Punch

Budget Soundbar Review: Soundcore Infini

The Soundcore Infini Soundbar is $99 and performs double duty as a budget soundbar for a TV, and a Bluetooth speaker for a smartphone and tablet.

On the cord cutting front, you can also tap into music apps like Sirius XM on a streaming device like Roku.

After spending about a month testing out the Infini, it is definitely a workhorse for its size, but best for a bedroom TV. The advantage of using it on your bedroom TV is that you get much fuller sound than what your television can offer without blowing out a neighboring bedroom at night.

It delivered clear, consistent sound from a large living room that’s 25 x 13, but to really appreciate what the Infini delivers from its side speaker ports, a smaller room like a bedroom or home office is much better.

The Infini houses four internal speakers instead of a separate amp. It has two internal subwoofers and two tweeters.

There are funnel-shaped speaker ports seated within each end of the sound bar. The Infini delivered surprisingly rich notes when I played “Pretty Saro” by Bob Dylan after connecting my smartphone using Bluetooth. Music played during TV shows and from streaming apps delivered quality sound as well as any standalone Bluetooth speaker at this price point.

There are ports on each side of the soundbar.

How I tested Soundcore Infini Soundbar

I am writing this review after spending about four weeks of testing the Infini in a couple of different rooms. The Soundcore Infini was used connected to my living room TV and later a bedroom TV in my home.

In both cases, I connected the soundbar to the TV with an optical cord. You have the option to connect with a digital coaxial cable or a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable as well.

I watched movies, a few concerts and streamed shorter shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Pluto TV. During all of my testing, I had the soundbar in front of the TVs just below the screen. The Infini comes with mounting brackets so you can place it on the wall above the television. I didn’t try mounting it on the wall. Brackets and screws come in the box. And a pair of screw holes are on back of the sound bar.

The Samsung Soundbar K450, a pricier soundbar and amp, that I have connected to my living room TV helped me judge what the Infini could do as a budget soundbar. I don’t consider myself an audiophile, but I am a stereo enthusiast. I’ve had a harmon/kardon HK 3490 stereo receiver for years. I generally prefer Bose and Klipsch for speakers and headphones. I liked my records when vinyl was out of style, and I still like them now that they’re back in. Anker provided me with the Soundcore Infini to review.

Infini performance: Living room TV vs Bedroom TV

The Infini comes with a remote control and has three buttons for equalizing the speakers. One button is for music, another for movies and a third for dialogue.

The remote control has equalizer settings for dialogue, music and movies.

When I had the Infini connected to the TV in my bedroom, I started watching “Stop Making Sense”, the great 1984 concert movie by Talking Heads. Hitting the music button on the remote adjusted the bass just right, and David Byrne’s voice still sounded clear and bright through the sound bar.

I switched back to movies when I went to watch the news, and you could notice that voices were a hint more prominent with less bass.

When the Infini was hooked up in the living room, I still preferred the music equalizer settings more often than the movie option.

This was really noticeable with movies or shows that consistently had a soundtrack or music going in the background of a scene. I watched the first episode of “The Worricker Trilogy”, which has a lot jazz weaved throughout the story. Keeping the equalizer settings on music made for a more immersive experience.

When I watched the second episode “Turks & Caicos”, there was a scene where a police car races onto the beach. I heard the siren before I saw the car. And for a moment, I wondered if the siren was coming from the scene of my living room TV, or there were police zooming by my neighborhood. That might have been one of better layman benchmarks that I noticed.

Dialogue Mode

Something really interesting happened when I tried the dialogue mode button. Whenever I had the Infini connected to my TCL Roku TV, the dialogue equalizer worked fine. Voices were clear and traveled well across the living room.

But I would also get the Roku menu up on my screen as a sidebar. I could switch inputs and even turn off the TV using the Infini remote.

This didn’t happen with any of my older TVs, but it was a neat extra, especially considering there’s no HDMI pass through. I didn’t know if that was supposed to happen. I didn’t find anything about this in my user manual, but it was a neat extra. Here’s a picture of what it looks like.

A extra menu popped up on my TCL Roku TV when using the dialog equalizer button.

Streaming music on Soundcore Infini

I streamed music over Bluetooth using Spotify on my Galaxy S5 smartphone. On the Roku TV, I used the Sirius XM app to play music in the living room. You can crank up the music pretty loud. When you’re streaming from a smartphone, you can also find the speakers’ breaking point.

The best way to use the Infini is to have your smartphone media volume set around the halfway point, and turn up the volume of the soundbar through the remote control. If you crank up your media volume setting on the phone to 100 percent, your sound will get muddy. Turn it up on the soundbar and things are fine.

There were a number of times that I played the Infini too loud to be pleasant. So it was plenty powerful for general use. The Infini does not support Dolby Digital 5.1.

Areas of improvement

When I had the Infini connected to my TCL Roku TV, it would beep whenever I would press the mute button on or off. The last thing I want to hear when I’m trying to mute something is another sound. This isn’t a deal breaker for me, and it might be a compatibility issue with TCL.

It would be great if a future generation of the Infini had HDMI connectivity so the soundbar’s remote could control the TV volume as well. There are more expensive soundbars (like the Samsung that I own) that struggle with this because of compatibility issues, but it’s a neat feature when it works.

Is the Soundcore Infini worth it?

So the bottom line with the Soundcore Infini is that you’re not going to get an experience that’s comparable to a $400 soundbar setup that has a separate amp.

The Infini is a budget soundbar, and a pretty excellent value for its price point. It will significantly improve the lousy, tinny audio coming from TV speakers. I could also see this being very useful in a dorm room or home office.

The best experience that I had with the Infini was in a smaller room when connected to a bedroom TV. You’re closer to all the speakers, so it’s easier to soak up the sounds coming out of the ported sides of the soundbar.

I think it would be a mistake to compare the Infini to something that’s triple or quadruple the price. Comparing a budget soundbar like the Infini to a $400 Sonos soundbar is like putting my Honda next to a Porsche. A Porsche is nice and all, but I like my Honda very much and it’s practical. The same idea can be applied if you’re serious about your expectations with a budget soundbar.

Any improvement on performance is going to likely drive up the price (e.g. the Vizio SB3621 has an amp, and it’s much lauded for its sound quality, but it’s $50 more.)

While doing research for this review, I found a number of soundbars that are priced under $100. But they’re from brands that I’ve never heard of and would be reluctant to trust.

The Soundcore Infini packs a surprising amount of value at $99.

5 facts about Soundcore Infini Soundbar

  1. 100 watt soundbar
  2. 1 channel audio
  3. Two subwoofers, two tweeters
  4. 3 Equalizer settings for dialogue, music and movies
  5. Bluetooth 4.2

1st Corinthians Chapter 2

In case you missed it, Chapter One’s Reflection is found here: Chapter One Reflection.

The Gospel tells the good news of Jesus. It is summed up in two short words: God loved.
God loved the world. Yet, instead of receiving that love, we (the world) rejected God and pursued our own way. That pursuit permanently separated people from God. Jesus was sent to heal the broken divide through his death and resurrection. So that whoever believes in Jesus would never again be separated from eternal love God.

Thus, the way of life in Jesus is experienced and expressed in two phrases: love God; and love people. Sounds simple, right?

Why then is the way of Jesus so confusing, confounding and convoluted?

As 1st Corinthians continues, Paul peels back the confusions and false expectations we often place on God and states it quite simply… “I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ crucified.” (2:2) Sometimes our own false expectations on God keep us from experiencing the great love of God.

  • Have you ever lived under the pressure of false expectations? How did that feel?
  • Have you ever put some kind of expectation on God? If so, what expectation did you put on God?
  • How has that expectation hurt or helped your faith?

If you’re like me, there are times when I feel disappointed with God. I am most disappointed with God when I put God in a place that is very human. I shape God to be in my image, rather than living out the image of God I was created with. When I do that, my natural tendencies tend to define God. When I shape God in my image, under my expectations, God fails every time. My expectations of God are natural (not right).  Yet, God invites you and me to know something deeper than “natural”. Knowing God on His terms must happen through the Spirit.

Paul reminds us that we are best connected with God spiritually. Spiritual doesn’t mean flakey or flooky. As a matter of face, “spiritual” is the most real way to connect with God. The Bible tells us that God is Spirit and we must relate with God in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). This spiritual connection only comes through faith on God invitation. Paul affirms this 1st Corinthians 2 writing, “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” (2:14) The good news is that connection is available to all who would believe in Jesus.

  • What kinds of “natural” tendencies do you relate with God through?
  • Are these healthy or unhealthy tendencies? Are these tendencies right?
  • What do you think meeting God on His terms means?
  • Where do you feel the least qualified to represent God to others?

Do you believe this? How does 1st Corinthians Chapter 2 challenge your faith today? What do you think God is inviting you to as you read this?

COMBINA Function

Calculate the number of combinations along with repetitions for a given number of items

What is the COMBINA Function?

The COMBINA function is an Excel Math and Trigonometry function. It will calculate for a given number of items the number of combinations, along with repetitions. The function was introduced in MS Excel in 2013 and hence not available in earlier versions.

=COMBINA(number, number_chosen)

The COMBINA function uses the following arguments:

  1. Number (required argument) – This should be either greater than or equal to 0. Also, it should be greater than or equal to number_chosen. Non-integer values, if entered for this parameter, are truncated.
  2. Number_chosen (required argument) – This must be greater than or equal to 0. Non-integer values are truncated.

How to use COMBINA Function in Excel?

To understand the uses of the COMBINA function, let’s consider a few examples:

Example 1

Suppose we are given six numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Now let’s see how the COMBINA function calculates the number of combinations (with repetitions) for other numbers of objects taken from a set of 4.

COMBINA Function

For any six objects – a, b, c, d, e, f – there are 21 different combinations (with repetitions) of 2 objects. These are:

aa, ab, ac, ad, ae, af, bb, bc, bd, be, bf, cc, cd, ce, cf, dd, de, df, ee, ef, ff

The COMBINA function helps derive such combinations. It uses the formula (n+m-1) ÷ (n-1) where n is the number and m is the number_chosen. Remember the results of COMBINA above include repetitions.

Example 2

Let’s see some interesting things about COMBINA. If you enter the following arguments in a COMBINA function, the results will be:

COMBINA Function - Example

COMBINA(0,0) is the only non-error output when n=0 yet this should be equal to COMBIN(-1,-1), which returns an error. It implies that the function includes an exception of n-m=0.

Differences between COMBIN and COMBINA

The COMBIN and COMBINA functions differ in the following ways:

  • COMBIN does not count repetitions whereas COMBINA does. For example, in a set of three objects (a, b, c), COMBINA will return the result 6; the combinations are aa, ab, ac, bb, bc, cc, whereas, COMBIN will return the result 3; the combinations are ab, ac, bc.
  • The formulas used by the functions are different.

Things to remember about the COMBINA Function

  1. #VALUE! error – Occurs when either of the argument is non-numeric.
  2. #NUM! error – Occurs when the value of either argument is outside of its constraint.

[100% Off] Apache Cordova – Build Hybrid Mobile Apps with HTML CSS & JS Udemy Coupon

Go to Offer

Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding each mobile platform native development language. Applications execute within wrappers targeted to each platform, and rely on standards-compliant API bindings to access each device’s sensors, data, and network status.”

By Cross-Platform, we mean that the application codebase can be written once using HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript and it can be run across multiple target mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, Windows, Firefox, Ubuntu mobile.

The web development community has been continually innovating and with the recent development of frameworks such as Angular, IONICjQuery, and React, the traditional web applications have now almost become indistinguishable from their native platform-specific peers in terms of functionality.

Apache Cordova can be extended with native plug-ins, allowing developers to add more functionalities that can be called from JavaScript, making it communicate directly between the native layer and the HTML5 page. These plugins allow access to the device’s accelerometer, camera, compass, file system, microphone, and more.

However, the use of Web-based technologies leads some Apache Cordova applications to run slower than native applications with similar functionality.

And the most important thing is: Cordova is  free and open source. Here’s how to get started with Apache Cordova.

Use Apache Cordova if you are:

  • a mobile developer and want to extend an application across more than one platform, without having to re-implement it with each platform’s language and toolset.

  • a web developer and want to deploy a web app that’s packaged for distribution in various app store portals.

  • a mobile developer interested in mixing native application components with a WebView (special browser window) that can access device-level APIs, or if you want to develop a plugin interface between native and WebView components.

Project Black and Blue

Black and Blue

Definition: Bruised, beaten up. The term black and blue refers to the colors of a bruise.

Something that is black and blue has been hurt either physically or emotionally. When used literally, black and blue describes a physical injury.

At the core of Project Black & Blue, there is an open acknowledgement of the bruises accumulated every day by workers in the service industry family. This industry, the largest job-producer outside of state and federal governments, is known to be near the top in terms of creating mental and physical stress for its workers.

Long hours of physical labor in high pressure workplaces, often held as a badge of pride within the industry, can take heavy acute and chronic tolls on workers trying to provide for themselves and their families. Also, the inseparable challenges of potential job insecurity, frequently lower wages and higher levels of addiction are always present.

Craftmade Aprons was started to provide high-quality, affordable tools for service industry workers. As our business continues to grow, due primarily to the overwhelming support of the service industry family, so must the manner in which we envision our role in this family and our responsibility to give back. It’s not enough to simply acknowledge the bruises, we feel we need to create opportunities to offer real support. With gratitude in our hearts, we respectfully created Project Black & Blue.

When you purchase a Project Black & Blue apron, or any of the other Project merchandise, you’ll be directly supporting the sisters and brothers in the service industry. Half of all revenue from the B&B line of products will be used to fund donations that have direct and positive impacts for industry workers who are dealing with mental, physical, and/or financial stress.

The goal Project Black & Blue is to provide tangible assistance to the members of the service industry family so that they can maintain dignity and continue to work with a higher quality of life.

The money itself accumulates in our Project B&B Fund, allocated out each month to nominees from our online nomination process. Anyone, anywhere within the service industry, can be nominated. We need you to share their stories and nominate!

Do you know someone in need of support?

Nominate them today.

A big part of our Project B&B funds go to private donations for those in need. If you know of an individual or a business who could use the support, please fill out the form below and tell us a little bit about them. We will do everything we can to assist them in any way. We truly care about our community, and we would love to help your friends in family in times of hardship.

We use these funds to either directly provide funds to service industry members or help them in other ways.

Crawford will this week say farewell and best wishes to 156 of its graduating students.

The graduates include 120 Crawford graduate studies students, 23 National Security College students and 13 PhD Scholars. They will be presented with their awards at the graduation ceremony at Llewelyn Hall on Wednesday.

Crawford School Director Professor Helen Sullivan said she is delighted for the graduates and has high hopes for them.

“Congratulations to all of the students - it’s a very special day for them, and one that recognises the years of hard work and study that they have put in.

“Graduation day is an important day for everyone at Crawford School. The Crawford community is close, and there are few things that make us all happier than seeing our amazing students graduate and then go and apply the talents they have developed at the school. Many of our graduates end up in very senior positions in policy and governments all around the world, and I’ve no doubt that among today’s graduates are tomorrow’s leaders,” she said.

She added that although the ceremony marks the end the students’ formal time with the University, it should not mark the end of their relationship with the school.

“I hope all our graduating students continue to stay in touch with Crawford through the alumni program and through maintaining the friendships and connections that they have developed in their time here.

“Everyone at Crawford wishes them all the very best for the future.”

To celebrate with the graduates, their families and friends Crawford will be hosting a graduation party after the official ceremony.

Palm trees are great.  They calm me, mostly because even if they are highly manicured & placed in a neat little line – there’s something about them that yells Southern California to me.  They symbolize several things but to me, I think of an oasis.  A calm resting spot amidst a desert.

Neopolitan Milkshake

Don’t laugh.  It’s true.

In-N-Out Burger can be my calm resting spot amidst chaos.

Now when we visit home, it is a mandatory stop at some point.  Sometimes a mandatory two…or three…or four stops.  I’m not a ‘fast food’ person – unless it is In-N-Out.  Because they are divine with a dash of nostalgia.

Lunch for Two

Now I rarely wax poetic about hamburger joints – as many of you know I am a vegetarian.  & In-N-Out doesn’t have veggie burgers.  But if you order a ‘grilled cheese’…..

You see, In-N-Out has an incredibly basic menu but there are also secret codes.  & if you know them, your yummy points increase exponentially.  Say you want something ‘Animal Style’ (see upper order of fries), or a Neapolitan shake (for those of us who just can’t decide)…the list goes on.  Oh & did I mention the ingredients are fresh & delicious?  & the prices are amazing?

Dear In-N-Out, I love you.  I’m already planning my order for next time.

Charlie Sheen wants his kids to live real close by?

Charlie Sheen wants two of his ex-wives to move into his gated Los Angeles community, and he is willing to foot the bill for the house and the moving expenses so that he can live closer to his four children, reports AOL Real Estate.

Experts say it is good for the kids if divorce parents live within close proximity of each other, but only if they can all get along. “They must have resolved their anger, internal pain, hurt, and practice forgiveness for and with each other,” says Dr. Joyce Morley.

Just how would one describe Charlie Sheen’s relationship with exes Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller?

The Frequency of Death: A Murderous Tune

L to R: Lt. Foster, Nigel, Harry, Desmond

Every January Kurt Kleinmann’s Pegasus Theatre “defies gravity” at the Eisemann Center by inaugurating the new year with an original play from its unique niche – the trademarked In Living Black & White production style. In 2012 Pegasus delights its established audiences and charms new ones with a revamped, refreshed version of a production drawn from the vault of its 1980’s Deep Ellum incarnation, “The Frequency of Death!”Set in the live recording studio of radio station WKIL, the play spoofs the melodramatic style of 1930’s era’s black-and-white movies with a murder mystery within a murder mystery, featuring a cast of loveable cranks, curmudgeons and distressed dames and damsels.

Three Gorgeous Dames Harmonizin'

Familiar goofballs like “world famous detective and aspiring actor”, the bumbling Harry Hunsacker (Kurt Kleinmann), and his handsome, lovelorn Watson-like sidekick Nigel Grouse (Ben Bryant), match wits with the disembodied evil Dr. Big as the wacky radio station staff and its inept management attempt to produce a radio program with live onstage sound effects. This zany romp, replete with elements of Marx Brothers mayhem and Thin Man references, dishes up a laugh a minute with grand style and buckets-full of derring-do.

Helming this year’s production is Dallas-born Equity New York director Robert Bartley, creator of the successful, film and stage star-filled Broadway Backwards Aids Fundraiser. Bartley’s superb timing instincts create a fabulous flow of stage moments that allow Kurt Kleinmann’s tongue-in-cheek script to shine and every role to develop with clearly-defined arcs. A few slow scene entrances briefly interrupt the otherwise steady build to the dual mysteries’ unraveling but don’t interfere with the production’s energy or engaging quality.

“Who needs facts when you’ve got conjecture?” Harry Hunsacker

Lazslo woos Miriam

The cast functions beautifully as a unit, with each actor focused intently on creating a cohesive ensemble performance. Joining the stellar cast this year, Broadway and Off Broadway veteran star Susan Mansur plays delusional, dipsomaniac, aging radio “star” Miriam Andrews with bubbling abandon, as if channeling the comic essence of Carol Burnett or Elaine Stritch. The audience can’t wait to see what her every entrance cattily unleashes on the unwitting recipients waiting on stage. Mansur’s acting talents, coupled with Bartley’s directorial skill, energize the humor of this production.

Downstage left in audience’s full view sits a table covered with old-style sound effects devices. In another brilliant touch, director Bartley makes the auditory blend smoothly with the visual to heighten the comic melee. Pegasus Theatre veteran and regional playwright Ben Schroth plays Art, the nerdy sound effects man with a seedy past, with such studied deadpan commitment to his repeated garish interruptions he makes one’s fingers ache for a murder weapon. Greg Phillips takes over-acting to “electrified”, soaring heights as the sound engineer Walt  bit by the showbiz bug. Leslie Patrick (a 14 year Pegasus veteran) and newcomer Bailey Lawrence give veracity to every 30’s era movie cliché imaginable about gorgeous blonde dames. Charissa Lee’s sensible “Girl Friday” Zoe fills out every inch of the other side of the genre screen femme equation. As an on-air singing advertisement voices, they bring well-orchestrated hints of early Andrews Sisters’ style harmony to the production.

Walt & Art Put the Ham in Radio

Christopher Curtis’ harried, bombastic station manager Desmond balances Mansur’s grandstanding with explosive outbursts of his own, in constant conflict with station owner and “ironized coffee” magnate Laszlo. Played as a chic roué by Gordon Fox, who fairly oozes demented romantic ardor, Lazslo knows exactly how to tease a love interest along up to the moment of dramatic proposal on bended knee. Fox of the effetely arched eyebrow makes the most of this cheesy opportunity. Tenacious teeth-gnashing by Chad Cline as Harry Hunsacker’s “competition” Lt. Foster fuels their petty feuding to the audience’s glee, while Ben Bryant’s noble, ever-patient, Boy Scout-trustworthy Nigel picks up the pieces and solves the plot’s dilemmas without ever treading on Hunsacker’s self-perception as a master mystery-solver. Satisfying resolution guaranteed, every time, with a goblet of poison punch.

A sultry stunning addition to the program, torchy chanteuse Simone Gundy in glistening evening attire, warms up the crowd in front of the curtain and sets the 30’s scene with a jazzy set of classic tunes, ranging from “Johnny One Note” and “Funny Valentine” to a luscious styling of “Pennies form Heaven”. As refreshingly gorgeous as she and her voice are, it would be a worthy challenge to see Kleinmann find a way to integrate her into his plays’ plots in future productions.

A dazzling, multi-level, finely detailed set by Clare Floyd Devries, executed in elegant grey-scale tones, recreates the aura of an old-style radio station with vibrant style. Samantha Rodriguez’s costumes, with a perfectly ridiculous “radio antenna” chapeau for Mansur’s dizzy diva, carry forward the play’s themes and the Pegasus Theatre’s signature “black and white” visuals. At finale, everyone eagerly waits to see what version of Lady in the Red Dress emerges from the grey-scale environment. Aaron Patrick Turner’s sweeping blood-red gown on producer Barbara Weinberger is to die for, just like Lazslo’s “ironized coffee”.

Catch  “The Frequency of Death” at Richardson’s Eisemann Center through January 22. The show tours at the MCL Grand in Lewisville January 26 though 29. Eisemann box office: 972-744-4650.

Ash from Chile’s volcano eruption causes flight delays and cancellations in Australia and New Zealand.

The eruption of Southern Chile’s Puyehue volcano on June 4 and 5 continues to impact flights in Australia and New Zealand. The eruption, which caused the evacuation of 3,500 people, produced a vast plume of smoke that has drifted across the Pacific into Australia and New Zealand airspace.

Domestic and international flights were cancelled over the weekend and while Qantas advises that Melbourne flights have resumed, flights to and from Adelaide, Tasmania and New Zealand have been cancelled for today. Jetstar has announced all New Zealand domestic and Singapore to New Zealand flights are cancelled for today while trans-Tasman and Adelaide flights are cancelled until at least 12.30pm and 1pm today respectively.

Virgin will now operate normal scheduled services today while running additional Sydney to Melbourne and Melbourne to Hobart flights to deal with the backlog of passengers. Qantas will also run an additional Boeing 747 between Melbourne and Sydney.

Autumn Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet

Okay, it is COLD OUTSIDE.  These are the first few days that are actually COLD in NYC this season.  Like seriously wtf.  Thanks Hurricane Joaquin!  The last few days have been downright unpleasant with wind, rain, and temperatures in the 50s.  So I guess that means I’m going to start cooking hearty, warm, cozy meals.  Some people like that about fall, but I’m a spring/summer person all the way!  But still, I wanted to experiment with breakfast today and I’m impressed with how yummy and seasonal this Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet is!  It’s totally fall.

Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet

I let myself sleep in today until about 10:30 after a hectic work week.  Also, this weekend is seriously the only weekend where Matt and I literally had nothing to do.  Do you know how rare that is?  It’s like every weekend we have a wedding, or trip, or get together, or waterpark, or some other random fun thing, and usually on Saturdays I go to Matt’s 10 AM bootcamp class in Central Park.  But thanks to the weather, bootcamp was NOT happenin’.  Friday Matt and I both decided that we’d go on a run together on the river instead this morning as a substitute for bootcamp, but 11 AM came around and Matt was still out cold.  Matt got in at 5 AM this morning after his bartending shift so I knew he was probably still drunk and not at an optimal running condition.

So I went on a run myself down the East River, and I immediately regretting that decision.  The wind was brutal and I was like “F*** THIS SH**!” So after two miles I went to the store to pick up things for breakfast.  What’s better than cooking for bae on a lazy rainy Saturday with some coffee and Food Network?  And having nothing to do meant I could take my time and experiment with a seasonal dish.

But first I made a big cup of coffee in my favorite mug with some hazelnut creamer 🙂 And I put on the Food Network and watched Giada make some pasta in Italy.  BTW, Giada’s a dime piece.

BTW… look at it outside!  It’s straight up nasty!  (And also, take the time to admire our view of the river and the Triborough Bridge.)

Autumn Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet (serves 2)

  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1″ cubes
  • 2 handfuls of spinach
  • 1/2 a sweet onion finely chopped (or try a shallot!)
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • Chives for garnish
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Tbsps butter
  • Avocado
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in a large skillet on medium high heat.  Toss in chopped sweet potatoes.  These sweet potatoes will have to cook for about 45 minutes, so if you don’t have the time feel free to roast them a little before cooking them on the stove.  About 10 minutes in, when the sweet potatoes start getting some brownish color, add the finely chopped onion and spices, including the salt and pepper.  Continue cooking, stirring occasionally.  They will cook faster if you keep the lid on the pan.  If you notice that the mixture is getting too dry and starting to burn, add in 1/2 a Tbsp. of butter at a time to keep potatoes moist.  After about 30 minutes in, when the sweet potatoes are almost done and pretty soft, and two big handfuls of spinach. Continue cooking until sweet potatoes are very soft and mash easily.  Tip: while the sweet potatoes are cooking, mash them slightly with a spatula to help release their starches.  Taste a bite of the sweet potatoes and add more seasoning and salt if necessary.

When the sweet potatoes are close to being done, fry four eggs in butter in a separate skillet to your desired degree of doneness.  I like frying my eggs over-easy so the yummy runny yoke mixes all over the sweet potato goodness!  Dish out sweet potatoes on two plates and top with two eggs each.  Garnish with chives.  Add a couple slices of avocado to the plate for extra texture and flavor.  And voila!  A nutritious fall breakfast!  Enjoy!

5 Simple Strategies For Business Industry Crypto Events Revealed

To not point out, how much I like working after I need to not when somebody tells me to. I am my own boss and loving it!

Once they see that you firm isn’t being grasping and allowing them the chance to buy at a reduced rate they will not solely return for more business however they may even refer others.

Building trust in a digital consumer landscape is the key to survival

A new global study by the Economist Intelligence Unit and TransUnion, “New Dimensions of Change: Building Trust in a Digital Consumer Landscape,” included responses from 1,610 executives worldwide*. It uncovered how technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), national digital IDs and super-apps can help overcome hurdles and possibly create new challenges to building digital trust, and also preventing fraud.

The main findings were that:

  1. biometrics will be the dominant payment customer authentication method
  2. fraud detection and improved security will be the greatest benefit to using AI
  3. a national digital ID system will help prevent consumer fraud and holds the key to inclusion of low-income groups
  4. respondents believe consumers are comfortable sharing personal data.

These are unexpected findings with 3) and 4) having huge implications as to how we live and carryout our business.

The report ends by saying that “The covid-19 pandemic has forced a worldwide shift to digital transactions, accelerating already-existing trends. Consumers crave more simple digital transactions, and businesses must realise that in order to build trust in a Covid-affected world, they must provide them with a more convenient and inclusive way to transact that still protects security and privacy.”

BUT companies looking to up-level their trust propositions in the digital transaction space should keep the following points in mind:

  • National digital IDs, biometrics and super-apps may be promising, but they carry risks
  • The challenges introduced by the pandemic in digital commerce, privacy and security are significant but not insurmountable
  • AI is paying dividends across the digital transformation agenda, especially in fraud prevention.

CTMfile take: This detailed global survey of 100s of executives reminded us all, including corporate treasury departments, that “Building trust in a digital consumer landscape may be challenging, but it will separate the winners from the rest.” Forget that in todays COVID-19 pandemic world and ….

‘The Pub’ #67: Rebecca Lavoie — public broadcaster, private podcaster

Print More

If you work at a station and you create a new show, does your station necessarily own it? Can you make money with it? What about if you only do it in your off-hours, like Rebecca Lavoie does?

Lavoie and her husband first conceived of their podcast as a product of Lavoie’s full-time employer, New Hampshire Public Radio. It was fall 2014, they were both crime writers, and they were obsessed with Serial, so they started making a simple show called Crime Writers On Serial. It has since broadened to other true-crime topics under the more vague name Crime Writers On….

But NHPR wasn’t that interested in the show, and it didn’t feel like a good fit anyway, Lavoie told me on The Pub. Now, she works as NHPR’s digital director by day, but at night she privately produces her “surprise hit” podcast, which draws six-figure downloads and thousands of dollars in sponsorship per week.

There’s a reason she doesn’t talk about it at work that much.

“Podcasts are considered the competition to radio. So, have I become a competitor to my own radio station? I don’t necessarily think so, but I could see how that argument could be made,” Lavoie said.

This week on The Pub, we talk about the weirdness that can arise between entrepreneurial podcasters and their public media employers.

Also, Carmel Delshad talks about her transition from being a radio reporter at WMFE to being an engagement producer at AJ+, Al Jazeera’s innovative social video unit.

Plus, I use a narrative structure that I call “the long-lost twins reveal” to talk about how public media can transcend what I call “the newsmagazine mentality,” in part by adopting an interview style I call “the Full Buckley.” (I like to name things.)

Please subscribe to The Pub in iTunes or your favorite podcast app, and leave us a rating and a comment! That will help boost our search results and allow people to find the show more easily.

We welcome your feedback on the show: You can reach me at adam@current.org or @aragusea on Twitter; my supervising producer at Current, Mike Janssen, is at mike@current.org; and you can contact Current generally at news@current.org or @currentpubmedia on Twitter.

If you’d like to offer a comment to be used in the program, please send on-mic tape (recorded in a studio, with a kit, a smartphone, anything) to adam@current.org either as an attachment or through Google Drive. Please keep it short!

Adam Ragusea hosts Current’s weekly podcast The Pub and is a journalist in residence and visiting assistant professor at Mercer University’s Center for Collaborative Journalism.

One thought on “‘The Pub’ #67: Rebecca Lavoie — public broadcaster, private podcaster

  1. The future of radio is already here if you are subscribed to podcasts. You don’t really need the voice commands for your commute home. Your podcast list is your personal curated news feed for listening on your commute. I always have something to listen to and learn from on my phone.

    I like your excitement over the Buckley interviews! Perhaps interviewers need to remember that they are not the only interviewer in the world and people will read and listen to many news reports. They don’t have to cover everything in their 3-5 minute interview. Specificity is the soul of narrative… or something, something.

El Flaco

Article By Paul Wideman www.bareknucklechoppers.com Photos By: Sara Liberte  www.garagegirls.com

I grew up reading car and bike mags, and I always envied those guys that got to do what they loved every day. As I was trudging through school, and eventually college, pointing towards an engineering career, all I could think of was cutting, grinding, and welding. That was all I wanted to do. Just a year or two after I graduated, I basically said, ‘F**k it! I’m gonna do what I love.’ I opened my own shop, and the world was right. Until a few weeks into it, reality set in, and it hasn’t gotten any less real since. You see, when you decide to take what you love and turn it into a (hopefully) successful business, you have to juggle about a million different chores on a daily basis. You’re no longer tooling around without phone calls or emails in your garage; you have to keep the customer happy, and that is priority one. When you run a custom bike shop, or even a custom production shop, you are building what the customer wants. Now don’t get me wrong, the customer goes to a specific shop for a reason, and you have to stay true to what got you there.

Brass Balls Bobbers does just that. BBB makes, in my opinion, the only production bike worth owning and riding. Dar Holdsworth and his crew have set the bar so high, that others cannot compete. BBB offers the highest quality parts on a bike that are tailored to fit the client’s riding style as well as his or her tastes. Of course you start with one of their models, but from there they build what suits you, and at a better price than anyone else. Honestly, I don’t know how they do it.

But, as I said, doing what you love, and doing it well, can get to feeling a little restrictive. That’s why it is so exciting when you are given a blank canvas and a reason to build a bike for yourself.

It’s like suddenly you are revived. You can start with as little or as much stock hardware as you wish. You are limited only by your imagination, and like many of us, your bank account. A couple of years ago, Dar was asked to participate in a build-off style competition, where there were basically no rules. Dar passed the challenge on to his faithful fabricator/builder, Bryan Nikkel. Bryan jumped at the chance. All the hours of making other riders’ dreams come true had given him his perfect model of what a hard riding chop oughtta be. So a hunt began for the parts to make his chop come alive.

Bryan searched out a reliable Ironhead as the powerplant for the basis of the project. As Bryan said, the Ironheads are still plentiful and affordable (keep in mind Sportster haters, the XL kept the Motor Company alive for many dark years). After finding a suitable ‘75 CH model, Bryan cracked the cases and the Brass Balls’ crew went to work rebuilding the 35 year old mill. After checking and rebuilding the unmentionables, they filled the cases up with S&S parts, including pistons and a P grind cam. Suddenly the old IH was sporting 1200 angry CCs. Topped off with a Super B from the fine folks in Viola, and newly nickeled rocker boxes, the motor was ready for a home.

As the new frame entered the shop, Bryan knew there would be a lot of work put into the frame to make the Ironhead drivetrain work. Apparently there is a little confusion as to whether an Ironhead and an Evo XL engine are interchangeable in their respective chassis’. The boys were a little discouraged to cut the motor mounts out and relocate them, but they did it the right way. Bryan cannot tell you how happy he is they did this, as the bike flies straight as an arrow down the highway. As soon as the frame was done, they hung the Knuckle Dragger forks from the steering head. A little extra time was spent making plenty of room for the forks to move left and right with proper clearance, and a set of Nash Midget Gimps were mounted up. Of course, the bars were narrowed and shortened prior to being bolted on. They next turned their attention to the rear of the scoot where their newly centered wheel received a Brass Balls’ fender and some super cool struts. As many of you know, HD moved the shifter from the right side to the left some time in the mid ‘70s. There is much debate as to the exact year the big switch was completed, but this particular ‘75 indeed had a right side shift. Bryan wanted to run a jockey shift, so they fabbed up a very cool linkage system to bring the shifting mechanism from the right to the left, using heim joints, machined pieces, and oil impregnated bushings in the process. The boys whipped up a great and simple set of short drag pipes, as well as modifying the Detroit Brothers’ tank to suit their taste.

The paint was sent over to Manny’s Ink & Air for some killer root beer and metal flake. This paint just screams class, and appears flawless. Perfect. After getting the painted pieces back, as well as the numerous nickeled parts, the crew went back to work on final assembly. One of the many cool things this bike offers is the exotic braking system from Beringer. Beringer is company from France that caters to the Moto GP crowd, and makes an extremely fine brake system. Bryan says this bike literally stops on a dime. It’s great to see choppers and racing blended into one finely tuned motorcycle.

Of course Bryan wants to give a big thanks to Dar for the chance to spread his wings a little and take on a great project for himself. He also wants to throw one out to the one and only Roadside Marty for the killer Flat Broke kicker pedal. Bryan couldn’t say enough good things about Marty.

“El Flaco” made its maiden voyage leaving from Santa Rosa, NM and landing somewhere in North Carolina. Bryan said the bike gave him only the simplest of problems, like a leaky base gasket. She screamed on down the road, fourth gear humming all the way along. Since the long trip it made last summer, it has turned into Bryan’s daily rider, not missing a beat once. Oh, and the name? Actually the painter named the bike, “El Flaco,” meaning “the skinny,” as the bike is so narrow and sexy. So now you’ve got the skinny on “El Flaco.”

Manufacturer: Vermarc

Associated Bike Brand: Ridley Bikes

Races: Paris Roubaix

Roger Hammond taking third in the 2004 edition of the Paris-Roubaix race was a highlight of the 2004 season for me. After years of battling in Belgium, he finally made a major breakthrough in a race that suited his cyclo-cross background.

After a riding in the service of others at Lance Armstrong`s Discovery Channel team in 2005-2006, he had more success at Team High Road (2007-2008) Cervelo TestTeam (2009-2010) and finally Garmin-Cervelo (2011).

In July 2012 Roger Hammond was announced as the Team Manager of the newly-formed Madison Genesis team who will be riding steel bikes made of Reynolds 953 tubing!
