I've hit a trough lately. Maybe I'm too busy, trying to do many things. I need to slow down and focus on my work. I have also been really slacking on my yoga practice too. As I write this it is 7:30AM, so it's not like I'm snoozing. I'm just, I don't know... tired. I'm really tired. I don't feel rested when I get up. I feel like I've not had enough of a break from yesterday to start doing it all over again.
The problem is work though. Right now I'm just plodding through hundreds of articles, reading and taking notes. I'm so sick of it. I know that I need to start writing, like now - but I can't yet. I want to get through all of this literature first. It seems like every step of grad school is so difficult because it's always something that I've never done before and really have no idea how to do. I haven't the faintest idea how to write a proposal. My adviser said it should be sort of like a grant application. That doesn't really help. I've never done one of those either. I should though, I really should. Just like I should learn signal detection theory, and how to fit functions to my data, and how to program experiments in MatLab, and how to set up a patch panel. Right.
See, the problem is not that I'm not smart enough, it's time. I just don't have enough time. Having the kiddo not be here for a week reminds me of the hours upon hours that I have missed out on over the last three years. Hours that I could have spent working. Hours that my colleagues have spent working. I envy others' dedication and diligence, but really - it's not a matter of working hard, it's a matter of just having less time to work. I left the lab at six yesterday, and could almost cry at what my expertise level would be if I could have spent that much time working everyday.
So, at any rate, I'm behind schedule. I should be writing this week, but I'm still reading and coding. That's okay though, I'm getting close to done. I think after today and maybe tomorrow I should be done. Then it's write, write, write. Then wait, wait, wait. (for my adviser to read, read, read) I was reminded yesterday that I really needed to "get that proposal done asap". Yes, who only takes three weeks to write a dissertation proposal? Who has two thumbs and an adviser who want to get the hell out of dodge? This gal. It's plodding time. That's all it is. No time to beat myself up about not getting to yoga, or not cleaning, or not spending time with friends etc... I must plod. I can do this. Yesterday I did manage to get up and do yoga at home, which was great - and as I laid on the floor in savasana that old sketch came back to me
"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me"
Sounds really stupid but it's amazing how much better that made me feel. I made it this far, right? My friends and family will still be there when I'm done, right? I just need to stop staying up so late. So long summer, it was nice knowing you.

I always had a fascination for Mumbai – I always found it extremely charming! So, when I finally got a chance to live there, I was thrilled. To be honest, initially, I was perturbed by certain things about Mumbai – its traffic and long distances. But, gradually I got pretty much used to it. And once you get used to Mumbai, there is no city like it! That's why I call it an 'enchantress'.

Hulk (also known as The Hulk) is a 2003 superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character of the same name. Ang Lee directed the film, which stars Eric Bana as Dr. Bruce Banner, as well as Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Nick Nolte and Josh Lucas. The film explores the origins of the Hulk, which is mainly attributed to Banner's father's experiments on himself, and passing these genes on to his son.

This invention relates to electronic musical instruments, and is more particularly concerned with an electronic circuit for use in an electronic organ for simulating the rhythmic variations in sound produced by rotation of a wire brush around the head of a snare drum.
In the evolutionary development of electronic organs, muscial devices have been developed which automatically produce repetitive rhythms for accompaniment with the organ. This, in turn, has given rise to a need for and development of a variety of electrically produced sounds, the sources of which are often spoken of as "instruments." For example, modern automatic repetitive rhythm devices may include "instruments" producing sounds that may contain a great many frequencies but that have no pitch characteristics, such as drums, cymbals, wood blocks, tom-toms, tambourines, and many others.
A sound that heretofore has not been acceptably simulated electrically is that produced when a drummer rotates a wire brush around the head of a snare drum; that is, when the free end of a brush consisting of a bundle of long flexible wires is maintained in light contact with and rotated around the stretched membrane of the drum (as opposed to beating on the membrane with sticks) to provide a subdued rhythmic accompaniment in certain types of musical selections, such as waltzes, fox trots and jazz ballads, for example. Although this sound is basically unpitched, because of the change in angle between the wire brush and the drumhead as the drummer rotates the brush, there are what may be characterized as cyclic variations in the resulting sound, one such cycle occurring during the complete revolution (360�) of the brush around the drumhead and the other cycle being completed in only one-half a revolution (180�) of the brush around the head. These cyclical variations in the timbre of an otherwise unpitched sound, characteristic of the random contact of the wires of the brush with the head of a snare drum, makes this a particularly difficult sound to produce electrically.
Although it is known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,328,586 to produce electrically a sound simulative of a snare drum, applicant is unaware of any system for simulating the sound produced when a wire brush is rotated around the head of a snare drum. The system according to this patent achieves the sound of a snare drum by combining a drum sound source with a snare drum sound source. The drum circuit employs a pair of tuned tank circuits which are responsive to a pulse source, and the snare drum sound circuit employs the same pulse source and includes wave-shaping devices which provide a voltage for keying an AC modulated "white noise" source to produce a sound simulative of a snare drum. The signals from the two sources are mixed, filtered and amplified to produce the desired sound.
Other examples of circuits utilizing random noise for producing unpitched percussive sounds are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,247,308. In this system a signal from a random noise generator is applied to a plurality of envelope controlling devices, such as variable gain amplifiers or variable attenuators, which produce at their respective outputs a noise signal having an intensity determined by the envelope controlling devices. These amplitude modulated signals are separately filtered and then combined and applied to an output amplifier and loudspeaker. The circuit includes a plurality of pulse generators, one in each channel, each of which when energized delivers a single pulse of energy to its associated envelope controlling apparatus. These pulses, which may be of any preselected duration, control the envelope controlling apparatus in such a manner that a signal from the random noise generator is keyed with a percussive envelope characteristic; the resulting pulse of the random noise signal is filtered and when reproduced is heard as an unpitched percussive sound.
It is the object of the present invention to produce electrically a sound simulative of that produced by rotation of a wire brush around the head of a snare drum.
Briefly, the object of the invention is achieved by a system including a plurality of channels each of which includes an amplitude adjusting device and a filter, a source of random noise connected to each of the channels, and a digital counter operative in response to clock pulses, whose rate is controlled by the tempo control of the rhythm pattern generator of an electronic organ, to differently control the amplitude adjusting devices of the different channels so as to differently amplitude modulate the noise signal in each of the channels. The amplitude modulated noise signals are bandpass filtered to produce output signals which are combined in predetermined amplitude proportions, amplified and coupled to an output amplifier and loudspeaker. The digital counter automatically operates control circuits that adjust the envelope of each channel as a function of the tempo of the musical selection being performed, and also controls the opening and closing of an output gate for coupling the summed signal to the loudspeaker during predetermined time periods of a duration determined by the tempo and in timed relationship with the initiation of a brush cycle. when reproduced, the gated signal produces a sound highly imitative of that produced when a wire brush is rotated around the head of a snare drum.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent, and its construction and operation better understood, from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a general block diagram of a circuit embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a timing diagram useful to the understanding of the operation of the circuit of FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 1, the instrument according to the invention, which will hereinafter be termed a "long brush" instrument, consists essentially of a digital counter 10 having a plurality of output terminals, a plurality of signal channels each including a signal amplitude adjusting device 12 and a suitable filter, such as a bandpass filter 14. A source 20 of random noise, such as a "white noise" source, is connected to and delivers to each of the signal channels an electrical signal having a very wide distribution of energy throughout the audio frequency spectrum. Each amplitude adjusting device 12 controls the amplitude or envelope of the noise signal transmitted therethrough, and in the specific embodiment to be described the envelope of the transmitted signal, which is different for each channel, is determined by the charging and discharging of a respective capacitor, all under control of counter 10. More particularly, upon being enabled by a trigger pulse contained in a train of pulses from the rhythm pattern generator of the electronic organ when a rhythm pattern utilizing the "long brush instrument" is selected, binary counter 10 counts clock pulses derived from the rhythm pattern generator of the organ, the rate of which is determined by the tempo control of the pattern generator, to produce changes in voltage level at its several output terminals at different predetermined times reckoned from the time of occurrence of the trigger pulse. In the general embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 having n signal modulating channels and one control channel, the voltage level at output terminal 10a changes state for every negative-going transition of an input clock pulse; that is, terminal 10a undergoes one cycle of change for every two input clock cycles. Similarly, at the divide-by-four terminal 10b, the voltage level changes state for every two negative-going transitions of input clock pulses; thus, there is one cycle of change for every four input clock cycles. In similar fashion, the divide-by-n output terminal undergoes one cycle of change for every n input clock pulses.
The capacitor in each of the amplitude adjusting devices 12 is connected to be quiescently charged to a predetermined potential, to be discharged through a series resistor when its associated counter output terminal is in the active state, and to again be charged through a charging resistor when the associated counter output terminal returns to its quiescent level. Thus, when a count is initiated by an input trigger pulse, and assuming that n equals sixteen, the capacitor associated with the divide-by-four output terminal of the counter discharges for the period of two clock pulses, recharges for two clock pulses, and then repeats the cycle. Similarly, the capacitor associated with the divide-by-eight output terminal discharges for four clock pulses and then recharges for the next four clock pulses. The result is that the random noise signal is differently amplitude modulated in the different channels in that the envelope of each has a different characteristic, but cyclically related to the characteristics of the other channels, during the period of each counting cycle. That is, in this example the "long brush" cycle is eight clock pulses long, during which the capacitor associated with the divide-by-four output of counter discharges and charges twice and the capacitor associated with the divide-by-eight output discharges once and charges once. The result is that the loudness variation in the signal from the channel associated with the divide-by-eight output is slower than the loudness variation in the signal from the channel associated with the divide-by-four output. The counter returns to its initial state after n/2 clock cycles.
The amplitude modulated noise signal in each channel is bandpass filtered and then all are combined in a summing device, schematically shown at 16, the output from which is applied to a gating circuit 18, the opening and closing of which is controlled by another envelope control device 22 connected to output terminal 10d of the counter. During the period commencing with the occurrence of a trigger pulse that initiates the counting cycle, which typically may occur on the down beat and the third beat of a four-beat measure, and substantially in coincidence with a pulse in the train of clock pulses, and ending with occurrence of the nth clock pulse thereafter, output terminal 10d is at its active level and causes envelope control device 22 to deliver a gating signal of that duration to gating circuit 18 to allow the latter to couple the combined signal at the output of summing device 16 to an audio amplifier 24 and a loudspeaker 26. A change in the state of terminal 10d upon occurrence of the nth pulse terminates the counting cycle, and turns gating circuit 18 off. Thus, the combined signal is coupled to the loudspeaker 26 during the period of n clock pulses, and when reproduced simulates the cyclic variations in sound produced when a wire brush is rotated around the head of a snare drum. Such variations can be said to occur cyclically, one such cycle occurring during one complete revolution (360�) of the brush around the drum and another cycle being completed in only half of a rotation (180�).
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a preferred implementation of the system shown in block diagram form in FIG. 1, the operation of which will be clear from reference to the timing diagram of FIG. 3. The illustrated circuit was designed for use with a rhythm pattern generator that delivers thirty-two clock pulses per measure; however, to achieve the desired simulation of the cyclical variations in sound produced when a wire brush is rotated around a snare drum head, it was found necessary to employ clock rates of two, four and eight clock pulses per measure. To accomplish this objective, the clock pulses from the rhythm pattern generator were divided down to sixteen cycles per measure before application to the circuit of FIG. 2; this pulse train is illustrated in waveform A in FIG. 3. With these system design constraints in mind, counter 10 comprises four D-type flip-flops 30, 32, 34 and 36, each having "D," "clock," "clear" and "preset" inputs and Q and Q outputs wired as a divide-by-sixteen counter. A "long brush" cycle is initiated by a trigger pulse from the rhythm pattern generator of the organ coupled through a trigger input circuit including an NPN transistor 38 connected as an emitter follower. The trigger pulse, appearing as a logic "1" at the emitter of transistor 38, is inverted by a NAND gate inverter 40 and appears as a logic "0" at the "clear" inputs of each of the flip-flops 30-36, thereby clearing the Q outputs of all of them to logic "0." Clock pulses derived from the rhythm pattern generator of the organ, having a rate determined by the tempo control of the pattern generator, are applied to the "clock" input of flip-flop 30 through an OR gate 42 which, in the interest of minimizing the number of integrated circuits, consists of three NAND gates 44, 45 and 46 which, along with inverter 40 are fabricated from four NAND gates located on one 7400 TTL integrated circuit chip. It will, of course, be appreciated that this implementation is merely an economic expedient and may take other forms. When the Q outputs are cleared, a logic "1" generated at the Q output of flip-flop 36 enables OR gate 42, allowing input clock pulses to be applied to flip-flop 30 to start a counting cycle. The times of occurrence of trigger pulses is determined by the selected rhythm pattern, typically occurring on the downbeat and the third beat of a four-beat measure, and are so timed with the clock pulses that any trigger pulse is always essentially coincident with a pulse in the clock pulse train, so that the clock pulse occurring at the time of the initiating trigger pulse may be regarded as the "first" clock pulse in the counting cycle. The count proceeds from 00002 to 01112, during which the Q output of flip-flop 32 is at logic "0" for the first two clock pulses, at logic level "1" for the next successive two clock pulses, and at logic level "0" for the next two clock pulses; the Q output of flip-flop 34 is at logic "0" for the first four clock pulses and at logic "1" for the next four clock pulses; and the Q output of 36 is at logic level "0" for eight clock pulses and then returns to logic level "1." At the onset of the ninth clock pulse, the Q output of flip-flop 36 is at logic level "1" for an instant, thereby to preset all of the flip-flops so that their Q outputs read 1111. The logic "1" appearing at the Q output of flip-flop 36 applied over line 48 to NAND gate 44 inhibits the clock pulses at OR gate 42 until another trigger pulse arrives. The circuit is arranged such that application of a trigger pulse, at any time in the counting cycle, will initiate a new counting cycle. It will be appreciated that flip-flop 30, which provides a division-by-two, is required to obtain at the "Q" outputs of flip-flops 32, 34 and 36 clock rates of two, four and eight cycles per measure at the earlier-described input clock rate of sixteen cycles per measure.
The described count sequence enables the direct interface between flip-flops 32 and 34 and respective signal channels, and between flip-flop 36 and a gating control channel. More particularly, the Q output terminal 10a of flip-flop 32 is connected through a diode 50 and a series resistor 52 to one terminal of a capacitor 54, the other terminal of which is connected to ground. The junction between resistor 52 and capacitor 54 is connected through a resistor 56 to a source of positive potential represented by terminal 58, typically having a value of +5 volts. The junction between resistor 52 and capacitor 54 is also connected to one terminal of a tuned tank circuit 60 consisting of an inductor 62, a resistor 64 and a capacitor 66 all connected in parallel, the other terminal of which is connected to the collector electrode of a PNP transistor 68, the emitter electrode of which is connected to potential source 58.
Similarly, the Q output terminal 10b of flip-flop 34 is connected to a second signal channel through a diode 70 and a series resistor 72 to one terminal of a capacitor 74, the other terminal of which is connected to ground. The junction of resistor 72 and capacitor 74 is connected through a resistor 76 to the source 58 of positive potential. The junction of resistor 72 and capacitor 74 is connected to one terminal of a second tuned tank circuit 78 consisting of an inductor 80 and a capacitor 82 connected in parallel, the other terminal of which is connected to the collector electrode of a second PNP transistor 84, the emitter electrode of which is connected to potential source 58.
A source 20 of random noise is connected to inject a random noise signal into both of the described signal channels. The source preferably comprises a back-biased PNP junction transistor 90 having its base electrode connected to ground, its collector electrode unconnected, and its emitter electrode connected through a resistor 92 to a source of positive potential, represented by terminal 74, typically having a value of +17 volts. When the base-emitter junction of transistor 90 is operated with reverse bias sufficient to cause zener or avalanche breakdown, the current flow through the junction is random due to the avalanche current multiplication effect causing a "white noise" signal, that is, an electrical signal having constant average power per hertz of bandwidth, to appear at the emitter electrode. This noise signal is injected into both of the signal channels through capacitors 96 and 98 respectively connected to the base electrodes of transistors 68 and 84. The base electrode of each of these transistors is also connected to its associated collector electrode through resistors 100 and 102, respectively, for supplying bias to the base electrodes of these transistors.
The tank circuit 60 in the collector circuit of transistor 68 is connected through series-connected capacitor 104 and resistor 106 and to a corresponding output circuit from the tank circuit 78, consisting of series-connected capacitor 108 and resistor 110. Each of the tank circuits and its associated transistor act as a low Q bandpass filter, the LC components of tank circuit 60 having values to give a resonant frequency of about 6.7 KHz, and the reactive components of tank circuit 78 having values to give a resonant frequency of about 17 KHz. As will be seen, the two channels function to control the amplitude of the bandpass filtered noise signal.
The output signal from the two channels are summed in proportions determined by the relative values of resistors 106 and 110 and amplified by a "Norton" amplifier 112, such as one section of an LM 3900 integrated circuit, connected to function as a summer. In particular, the junction of resistors 106 and 110 is connected to the inverting input of amplifier 112, the noninverting input is connected through a resistor 113 to a source of positive potential, and a feedback resistor 111 having a value one-half that of resistor 113 is connected between the output terminal of the amplifier and the inverting input. The output terminal of the amplifier is connected through a capacitor 114 and series-connected resistor 116 to the base electrode of a transistor 118, the emitter electrode of which is connected to potential source 58 and the collector of which is connected to the base electrode through a resistor 120. The output signal from the "long brush" instrument is taken from the collector electrode of transistor 118 and coupled through a capacitor 122 to a suitable audio amplifier 24 and loudspeaker 26.
Transistor 118 is gated on for the duration of an eight count cycle by an enabling circuit connected to the Q output terminal 10d of flip-flop 36; this enabling circuit consists of a diode 124 and a resistor connected in series to one terminal of a capacitor 128, the other terminal of which is connected to ground. The junction of resistor 126 and capacitor 128 is connected through a resistor 130 to potential source 58 and also through a resistor 132 and a diode 134 to the collector electrode of transistor 118. By virtue of capacitor 128 being initially charged to approximately +5 volts, upon initiation of a counting cycle, the Q output of flip-flop 36 goes to "0" logic level for the duration of eight clock pulses, causing capacitor 128 initially to discharge with a time constant determined mainly by the values of capacitor 128 and resistor 126 to a level of approximately +1 volt, and to remain at this level until the Q output is returned to logic level "1" by the onset of the ninth clock pulse, whereupon capacitor 128 quickly recharges with a time constant mainly determined by the values of resistors 130 and 132 and capacitor 128 to produce a gating signal having the waveform shown at I in FIG. 3. This gating signal, applied to the collector electrode of transistor 118, gates the transistor on for the duration of an eight count cycle, causing the signal delivered by amplifier 112 appearing at the collector electrode of transistor 118 to be coupled to the loudspeaker for the period of eight clock pulses. The described enabling circuit softens the turn on and turnoff of transistor 118 and minimizes transients that would otherwise be generated if the transistor were abruptly turned on and off.
Considering the operation of the two signal channels in greater detail, in their quiescent state amplitude controlling capacitors 54 and 74 are charged to near +5 volts and discharge through their respective series resistors 52 and 72 into the Q outputs of their associated flip-flops when these outputs are at "0" logic level. When these Q outputs return to logic level "1," the presence of diodes 50 and 70 cause capacitors 54 and 74 to charge through their respective charging resistors 56 and 76 and PNP transistor 68 and 84, which are essentially in parallel with respective ones of the charging resistors. Each of these two capacitors, together with their associated charging and discharging circuits, function to control the amplitude of the filtered noise signal delivered to the output of the circuit. Following initiation of a counting cycle by an input trigger pulse (waveform D in FIG. 3), capacitor 74 connected to the Q output of divide-by-eight flip-flop 34 (waveform E) discharges for the period of four clock pulses, the value of the capacitor and associated resistors being such as to discharge to a voltage of approximately +2 volts, and then when the Q output returns to logic level "1" recharges during the period of the next four successive clock pulses back to a potential slightly less than +5 volts. Similarly, capacitor 54 connected to the Q output of the divide-by-four flip-flop 32 initially charged to near +5 volts discharges for the period of two clock pulses to a potential of about +3.5�0.5 volts, recharges for the next two successive pulses to approximately +4.5 volts, and then repeats the cycle. The resulting envelopes appearing at the ungrounded terminal of capacitors 54 and 74 are illustrated in waveforms G and H, respectively, of FIG. 3.
When control capacitor 54 discharges, its associated transistor 68 conducts and the noise signal applied to its base electrode is amplified and appears at the collector electrode as bandpass filtered noise due to the presence of the tuned tank circuit 60 in the collector circuit. Similarly, when capacitor 74 discharges, its associated transistor 84 conducts and the noise signal applied to its base electrode is amplified and appears at the collector as bandpass filtered noise due to tuned tank circuit 78 in the collector circuit. Thus, the resulting signals at the collectors of transistors 68 and 84 are amplitude modulated bandpass filtered noise signals, generally of the form illustrated in waveform J and K, respectively, in FIG. 3. These two signals, which have different center frequencies as previously indicated, are summed in proportions determined by the relative values of resistors 106 and 110, which in a system that has operated satisfactorily have resistance values of 68K ohms and 220K ohms, respectively, and amplified by "Norton" amplifier 112. The resultant signal coupled to the loudspeaker circuit under control of the enabling gate (waveform I) is of the form illustrated in waveform L of FIG. 3. It will be observed that its envelope is unsymmetrical about the zero-axis, with the amplitude of the signal decreasing rather sharply during approximately the final one-third of the "long brush" cycle. This composite signal when reproduced by the loudspeaker produces a sound highly simulative of that produced when a wire brush is rotated around the head of a snare drum.
The described use of a counter responsive to clock pulses from the rhythm pattern generator, the rate of which pulses is adjustable by the tempo control of the rhythm generator, for controlling the amplitude controlling devices and the gating circuit, causes the rate of the simulated rotation of the wire brush on the drum head to be automatically controlled as a function of the tempo. That is, the faster the tempo selected by the instrumentalist, the faster the rhythmic variation in the timbre of the sound produced by reproduction of the signal, and the faster the simulated rotation of the brush around the drum head.
Although the embodiment of FIG. 2 has but two signal channels which differently amplitude modulate a filtered noise signal, and a third circuit controlled by the counter for enabling the output gate, it is within the contemplation of the invention to utilize additional signal channels for modulating and filtering the noise signal; such a modification would, of course, require the use of a counter capable of making more divisions so as to be able to separately control the additional signal channels. Also, although the noise source 20 in the FIG. 2 implementation has been described as generation "white noise," it is to be understood that an acceptable simulation of the sound of a wire brush rotated around the head of a snare drum can be achieved with a random noise signal that may not fully satisfy the accepted definition of "white noise." Further, although the described bandpass filters have a fixed center frequency, it is within the contemplation of the invention to provide filters having a variable center frequency controllable by the counter or by some other means.

Chris Froome's Cycling Nutrition TipsThe Red Bulletin talks to two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome about how to eat to go faster
1 Speed Comes From The Kitchen
OK, so you may have to put some pedalling in too but when it comes to cycling faster it's the power to weight ratio that decides your pace over distance - time to drop some body fat, in other words. ''For us power to weight is such an important ratio and ideally we want to be as light as possible with the most amount of power,' he tells The Red Bulletin. 'When I turned professional I thought that my racing weight was 70-71kg whereas I have found that in reality I can get it down to around 67kg.'
2 Drop The Bad Habits
The first step to leaning up is to get some easy wins by dropping processed foods from your diet and increasing wholegrains and healthy veg. 'I had some bad habits - eating the wrong foods at the wrong times, eating more processed foods. My diet has gone a lot more towards lean proteins, unprocessed carbohydrates, organic food where possible - just keeping things really clean and healthy,' says Froome.
3 Go Low Carb Breakfast On Some Training Days To Boost Fat Metabolism
Your body needs to be trained to metabolise fat for fuel, according to Chris Froome's training regime. 'We sometimes do what we call a low-carb ride where we will have an omelette in the morning with a bit of avocado or something but no carbohydrates, and stick to that at least for the first few hours of the ride. In theory that teaches your body to be more efficient and to burn fat as fuel so that when you do come to a heavier intensity day or a race day and you fuel up well with carbohydrates before the race it's almost like you've got a second source of energy that you didn't have before,' he says.
4 Cut Down On The Gluten
Many pro athletes follow largely gluten-free diets and Froome is no different. 'I used to eat a lot of muesli out of the packet that I thought was healthy, but it was full of sugar and wheat. When you have more gluten you also absorb more water and you swell up a bit. Your body just holds more water with bread and pasta. That kind of stuff I have learnt to avoid. Instead we eat a lot of white rice - it's really easy to digest and it keeps us topped up on our carbs - as well as a lot of quinoa too,' says Froome.
5 Make Sure Your Fuel Properly AFTER A Ride
Some amateur athletes think it's a good idea to cut calories or carbs all the time, even after rides - turns out this is disastrous for your recovery and performance. 'If I didn't fuel properly after today's training I would go into tomorrow's interval sessions and probably get halfway through the first interval and I would be just dead - I would be empty,' says Froome. 'So post-training meals especially on low-carb days, feel like your main meal of the day. You need a good healthy portion of carbs to get your glycogen stores back up for the next day's training.'

How to Pick the Best 2 Burner Electric Cooktop
Two burner electric cooktops are versatile in nature, offering you multiple cooking options. From providing you warm meals when camping, additional cooking space during large family dinners, and even temporary kitchen aid when moving into a new home that does not have all the kitchen luxuries you want, electric cooktops have endless possibilities for their usage. While an electric cooktop will never outsmart a Michelin Star restaurant's gas burner stove top, it will warm your soup and cook your chicken strips well and through.
If you are in the market for a new 2 burner electric cooktop as a first time buyer or simply wanting to replace your current one, it may be difficult to choose the best option for you. While everyone's cooking needs vary, one thing is consistent: certain dishes require a stovetop, whether a built-in until or a versatile electric cooktop.
In this detailed report, we will outline what sets a 2 burner electric cooktop apart from the rest. Additionally, we have selected three specific electric cooktops, reviewed their individual aspects, and chose an overall winner.
What Makes a Good Electric Cooktop?
When searching for a new electric cooktop, there are several factors you must consider for each product you view. From how hot the cooktop can get to how easily it is stored, there are many variables in deciding which cooktop is right for you. Below, you will find our designated character we will measure for each 2 burner electric cooktop we review.
- Durability. Your electric cooktop is good for just about anything that requires pots, pan, woks, and more. When choosing a new electric cooktop, finding one that is durable enough to withstand your day to day usage is a must!
- Heat Variability. Some like it spicy! Others, more mild. A proper electric cooktop will offer you multiple heating options for cooking your food. A cooktop should not mimic a light switch, it's never just "hot" or "cold".
- Storage. Unless you plan to use your electric cooktop for every meal, how easy the unit is to stow is vital. The ability to place your electric cooktop on the top shelve in your pantry neatly is always preferred to one that is too large or obscenely shaped to fit into normal spaces.
- Look. We get it, it is an electric cooktop. However, looks and appearance do not only refer to the unit's aesthetic appeal. Easy to use and well-laid out controls are a necessity.
By referring to these four key characteristics, your search for your next Two burner electric cooktop will be easier than ever before!
Best Electric Cooktops
With a detailed explanation covering what factors should be judged when deciding on the perfect electric cooktop, we can begin reviewing our top picks. Chosen are three 2 burner electric cooktop units, all of which are thoroughly analyzed and assessed on the above four criteria. In addition to these factors, we will also assess the price of each unit. Does the cost justify the electric cooktop? Price is a key decider for many and thus, our final assessment for each unit.
Now, onto our three selected Two burner electric cooktops and their reviews!
GForce GF-P1369-854 Portable Electric Double Induction Stove Burner Cooktop with Heat Function, Temperature Control & Timer – 1800 Watts
Being completely flat and nearly fluid with any large surface it is placed on, the GForce Portable Electric Double Induction cooktop is both very durable and also fragile. Its durability is best seen when used on a large, clean surface, such as a countertop or table. In this situation, the GForce lays flat and hugs the surface tightly. However, when a large enough surface is not available, you may risk damaging this Two burner electric cooktop. Constructed out of double-induction ceramic glass, the GForce is perfect for using almost any pot or pan while also deterring scratches and marks.
Heat Variability.
Finding a portable electric cooktop that offers a wide range of heating options is easier said than done. The GForce electric double induction stove burner cooktop, with its 1800 Watts of energy, provides you with a selection of 10 heat levels, ranging in temperatures from 150 degrees to 450 degrees. Whether you are simply reheating leftovers or cooking from scratch, the GForce will provide you with the ideal temperature for each and every meal. Additionally, the GForce comes equipped with a heat timer, ranging from 1 minute to 150 minutes, allowing you to keep a consistent temperature throughout your cooking. For more delicate dishes, the GForce provides a timed increase and decease in temperature, ensuring no dish heats up or cools down too quickly.
Slim and composed completely of double-induction ceramic glass, the GForce is easily stored in cabinets and under short shelves. One feature that separate the GForce electric cooktop from the others is its ability to be placed into a countertop. For those whose homes do not come fully equipped in the kitchen, the GForce fits nice and snug into any large, rectangular cutout, offering easy installation with ideal cooking heat.
Completely black and sided with ceramic glass, the GForce electric cooktop is a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing Two burner stove cooktop. The unit comes equipped with a simplistic LED display, controlled by your touch. With the touch of your fingertips, you can begin cooking your next pumpkin soup or reheating your corn casserole in no time!
Retailing just at $350, the GForce is pricey compared to most. While certain sites may offer discounts, such as Amazon's price of $199, you can expect to pay a premium for the style and quality of the GForce electric cooktop. Unless you plan to use this cooktop on a daily or weekly basis, we may suggest looking elsewhere.
An ideal Two burner electric cooktop that offers a wide range of temperature setting, easy to use LED control, and a slim figure, the GForce is perfect for a busy chef. Unless you plan to use it frequently, the GForce's product offerings do not justify the high retail price.
Domino Two Burner Electric Radiant Ceramic Cooktop 220V CERV-3002
The Domino Two Burner Electric cooktop is designed and manufactured in Germany out of thick ceramic glass, giving it a solid surface. While the cooktop itself can hold a majority of pots and pans with ease, a minor design characteristic might jeopardize your meals. The ceramic glass top is slightly larger than the base of the electric cooktop, which decreases its strength when being used. Like many electric cooktops, the Domino Two can be inserted into a countertop cut-out, providing additional support when cooking. However, unless you plan to use the unit as a permanent solution for your stovetop cooking needs, the slight overhang of the ceramic glass top will need to be watched while cooking.
Heat Variability.
Outputting a whopping 3000 Watts of energy, the Domino Two can get hot fast! While still many, the Domino Two provides only nine temperature settings within a range of roughly 400 degrees. Additionally, the Domino Two acts more like a light switch; when a temperature level is selected, it heats up quickly and stays at the designated temperature until turned off. Other units offer a gradual warming and cooling cycling when turning on or off, proving a more realistic cooking experience. The Domino 2, unfortunately, does not come equipped with this feature or one similar.
At just over two inches thick, the Domino Two electric cooktop is thin enough to be placed on nearly any shelve without compromising your space. Furthermore, the unit ways roughly ten pounds, making it light enough to carry upstairs, through the house, around the kitchen, and anywhere else you may require an electric cooktop. For a more permanent storage option, the Domino Two Burner can be placed into any countertop to be used as your primary cooking utility.
The Domino Two offers a clean, solid appearance with its black ceramic glass surface and metal underbody. However, one interesting design of the unit is that the burners are laid out in a vertical manner, with the top burner being approximately 50% larger the bottom. Additionally, a LED display touch screen is used to control the electric cooktop. These controls can be found at the bottom of the second burner, an odd location when cooking we feel.
With a retail price of $159, the Domino Two is an affordable option for the price sensitive shopper. While you may have to part ways with a few cosmetic features found on others, the listed price is perfect for the size and power offered by the Domino Two cooktop.
It's not our favorite Two burner electric cooktop. An odd design that limits its usage, as well as its temperature settings, places the Domino Two behind others. However, with a retail price of only $159, it will be hard to pass up this electric cooktop when considering all available options.
Ramblewood Two Burner Electric Cooktop, EC2-30
This sturdy, German design, ceramic glass electric cooktop is durable enough to use on virtually any flat surface. The Ramblewood Two Burner Electric Cooktop has a ceramic glass body of just over Two inches thick, providing a safe and reliable surface to cook any dish you desire on it. For increased strength, we recommend placing the Ramblewood cooktop into a countertop cutout. Whether you need this electric cooktop unit to keep food warm during your Thanksgiving dinner or you want to use it as a permanent cooking solution for your kitchen, the Ramblewood cooktop is sturdy, durable, and reliable for every cooking need.
Heat Variability.
With 3000 Watts of energy provided, the Ramblewood will boil a pot of water quickly and sear a steak to a perfect medium-rare. The Ramblewood electric cooktop utilizes precision analog controls, allowing you to select your ideal temperature setting between nine heat levels. What sets the Ramblewood cooktop apart from other electric burners is its ability to heat up food evenly and consistently. As the head chef, you have full control of how fast your pots and pans will heat up, allowing a consistent cooking experience from start to finish. Like many electric burner cooktops, the Ramblewood provides Two burner sizes, the larger being approximately 50% larger in radius than the smaller. This is ideal when cooking with different pot sizes, allowing you to use the heat provide efficiently.
At nearly 16 pounds, the Ramblewood is heavier than most electric cooktops. We recommend that you decide when and where you plan to use the electric cooktop first and store the unit close by. Don't expect to be carrying this electric stovetop burner up and down stairs and throughout the house. While it weighs more than its competitors, the Ramblewood is slim and can be easily stored on a shelf in your cabinets or even under drawers.
As far as aesthetics are concerned, the Ramblewood electric cooktop is a sleek unit with a uniform shape, black ceramic glass surface, and thin body. Unlike most modern electric cooktops, the Ramblewood comes equipped with two analog dials to control each of the two burners. While these dials may take away from the flat, chic appearance, they are extremely easy to use and provide the user with greater temperature control than offered by most competitors with a LED touch screen interface.
The Ramblewood electric cooktop has a very generous retail price of $240. While not necessarily cheap, the unit is indeed affordable for what it offers. Outputting 3000 Watts of energy and being able to control the temperature more accurately with analog dials, we find the price to be perfectly fair.
It's defiantly near the top of our list. The Ramblewood electric cooktop is an easy to use, power burner that does just about everything you would require from a portable stovetop burner.
Our Verdict
The Winner: The Ramblewood Two Burner Electric Cooktop, EC2-30. While everyone's cooking needs vary, we find the Ramblewood electric cooktop to be the most versatile unit, combined with sufficient power, easy to use temperature control, and a very affordable retail price of $240. Of the three two burner electric cooktops we have been presented with, the Ramblewood meets each of our criteria with satisfactory results and in some cases exceeded our expectations. Whether you need the electric cooktop for everyday use or just to keep food warm during dinner parties, the Ramblewood is perfect for nearly everyone, offers the majority of features found on the most expensive portable stovetop burners, without the hefty price tag.

Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno)
This Juvenile male quetzal was spotted right outside QERC in our Aguacatillo tree. As you can see the feathers around this birds eye area are incompletely developed, as are the cover feathers. This bird hung around for about 30 minutes, and I enjoyed watching him through our kitchen window.
Having the opportunity to see beautiful birds like this every day is just another one of the joys of working here at QERC.

I just got some awesome feedback from local fluent speakers. A small group of people were looking at my mobile app for the first time and it started a great discussion about the different ways of talking about fish, fishes, and many fish. That is exactly what I hoped to achieve with my mobile software! Real live people talking freely about our languages and learning from real live fluent speakers!
For those new to me and my software: my first mobile app is titled "Talk Mohawk 2012" and available in the apple app store for iPhones, iPods, and iPads. It provides very basic introduction to the (Mohawk) Kanien'keha alphabet, sounds, numbers, days, weeks, months, and very rough translations and audio for preparing to do the ThanksGiving Address (Words Before All Else). I use this software to prepare me for practicing more advanced speaking and sentence building by practicing some of the more difficult pronunciations that non-fluent speakers may have the most trouble pronouncing & remembering. I also intend for my software to give brand new speakers more confidence to start speaking and practicing & discussing all the different ways we can speak with fluent speakers in public settings.
One speaker is never more right than another and we have 7 dialects. Each and every speaker has their own accents and unique ways of communicating, understanding, and world views too. Personally, I change my pronunciations when an elder fluent speaker demands that I pronounce differently than another elder taught me. I do this out of respect because I know that we each have our own valuable experiences. I have my personal preference and own unique accent when I talk, but if I see my voice is making a fluent speaker uncomfortable I prefer to do what I can to let them know that their way of speaking is valued and respected too. I am happy to hear our languages living and I really do enjoy when fluent speakers help me to improve my communication skills with Kanien'keha. I hope that someday soon, I will not be depending on machines to help me learn how to speak. I intend for my software to help everyone to also learn how to form their own sentences and learn how to communicate with fluent Kanien'keha speakers too.
My software is not giving literal translations at this time – that is useful for those that have alot more experience with Mohawk language, culture, and world views. Literal translations with the long explanations are not so helpful for fluent english speakers that are totally new and it does not create an experience where a brand new learner is able to quickly, easily start practicing speaking an endangered language in public places with many different people.
Please do let me know if you want specific translations, voices, for specific devices and I'll do what I can to help. Did you know that I can develop a mobile app that lets you hear your own grandparents voice and translations? If you only want that available for your own family or group, I can make that happen to. Just contact me and I'm happy to do all I can to revive our beautiful languages.

Ultimate Bridal Marketing Workshop Love Letters
Are you still unsure about the Ultimate Bridal Marketing Workshop? Here's what some of our attendees have to say:
"All I Can Say Is WOW!"
"Dear Kim, I made the decision to come along to your Ultimate Bridal Marketing workshop based on seeing a personal friends amazing transformation in her own business after working with you.
All I can say is WOW! It was so incredible. I walked away feeling inspired, empowered, motivated and positive about my business and what it could become.
You are absolutely bursting with the expert information, that was exactly what I needed to hear. I sat listening to you speak and with each 'jewel' of information I could feel my excitement growing. Everything you said, made so much sense to me and yet they were simple things that I realised I wasn't doing!!
I wrote down so many changes to begin setting myself apart from the competition and making it easier for brides to say YES to me.
Kim, you gave me so much insight encouragement, expert marketing advice, and guidance on the night, but most importantly you challenged me to think like a "real" business owner, and not just a wedding photographer.
Like you, I am a mother with young children, and you have made me realise I can create a successful business, and I will have the freedom, to spend time with my family. I just can't wait to start your Get More Brides Business School training this year and learn so much more from you. Thank you so much!" — Kylie Fergusson | Firefly Images
"This Course Is My Golden Ticket To Achieving My Goals!"
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Your Ultimate Bridal Marketing Workshop was so inspirational and empowering! I walked away with everything I wanted out of it, and more.
I even signed up that night, on the spot to attend your 2 day Get More Brides Program as I knew that if I wanted to grow my wedding business and reach my business goals, that I had to join. I am a new wedding business owner and I love my business.
I want to see my business grow and be successful. The problem is… I had no idea where to start, or how I was going to do it. While I was sitting in your workshop going through the 7 steps to creating your dream wedding business, I knew I had found all the answers I was looking for.
Since then, I have already had an increase in enquiries and sales! I cant wait to attend your program this year. It is my golden ticket to achieving my goals. I would urge any other wedding business owners who want to increase their profit, build their brand, be successful this year to attend your workshop AND book the 2 day Get More Brides Program without hesitating." — Krystal Gladys | White Love Wedding Planning
"I Feel Empowered & Have A Clear Direction"
"I wanted to touch base and THANK YOU for your Ultimate Bridal Marketing Workshop the other night.
By coming along to the event, I walked away feeling so empowered with a clear direction of where I want to take my wedding business.
Listening to you speak about your own struggles in starting your own business was invaluable. When starting out in a new business you do tend to feel isolated, so the seminar was so great for me to make new connections and share experiences with likeminded people in the industry.
Your content was so easy to follow and with your relaxed manner, the time just flew! I have loads and loads of notes that I made on the night and I have also listened to your CD we got on the night.
I even made my hubby listen to it! It has made me feel so motivated and excited about how I can grow my business this year, with the right knowledge and support. Thank you again Kim, for your advice and encouragement." — Deb Douglas | Unique Vintage Events
"I Knew I Had Made The Right Decision"
"I decided to attend Your Ultimate Bridal Marketing Workshop as I felt I had put so much hard work as a "photographer" into my business over the last 12 months but… I still wasn't getting the amount of bookings, that I needed to sustain my business.
As soon as I got there, I knew I'd made the right decision! It was so comforting to know that I am not alone in feeling overwhelmed or lost, trying to start out in the wedding industry. Within 10 minutes myself and all the other attendee's were chatting away and comparing stories and I felt so comfortable.
I love that you covered was basic, but not obvious aspects of running a wedding business. (Especially for a non "business" person like me.) I left the night feeling energised, positive and ready to take on the world.
I even signed up on the spot for your Get More Brides Program and am so happy I did. The biggest thing you opened my eyes to, was that just because I am so passionate about photography and having my own business, doesn't mean that I already have all of the "business and marketing & sales skills" I need to make my business successful. Now, that may sound obvious, but to me it wasn't!
I can't wait to take off my photographers hat, and put on my entrepreneurs hat instead! Thank you so much!" — Danielle Watkins | Boutique Images Photography
"I Have A Renewed Passion For My Business"
"I attended the workshop because I knew I needed to do something. I didn't know what I needed to do, but I had to try something different.
Going into the event, I wasn't sure what I would get out f it, OR even wanted to get out of it. I just knew I had to be there. What attracted to this workshop was that it is industry specific.
I've seen so many courses that don't understand or relate to the wedding industry, so I have always passed them up. I LOVED it! I walked away from your workshop with a plan, and a whole new mindset around what I can achieve in my business.
I can see the simple steps I need to take in order for my business to succeed and I can look into the future and see what I want is possible for me. Just from the advice on the night, I have already started taking action including setting my most ambitious goals and am on tack to achieving them.
