Gord Pipkey: a profile in success
Most people would expect that a broker who does more than $260 million in volume in one year wouldn’t have much of a social life and perhaps would be in danger of burning out, but that’s surprisingly not the case for Gord Pipkey, this year’s No. 1 on the Top 50 Broker list.

Williamson: Brokers beware of disintermediation

Have you ever worked with an athlete who looked like he or she should excel but never really reached their potential?
You know, that athlete who is strong and fast and has the ideal work ethic but once they step on the field or the court and they struggle?
And what about those athletes who perform well when things are going good, but as soon as something goes wrong they turn into a completely different athlete?
Do you think this is a mechanical issue? Did they suddenly get slower or weaker?
I think you’d agree that, assuming the athlete had decent mechanics and they were fast and strong before the game started, the shortcomings in their on the field performance were symptoms of something else.
Something that coaches don’t often focus on when they’re designing programs.
This is an athletic mindset issue. Maybe the athlete failed to keep their composure. They lost their confidence and focus. They weren’t focused on "one play at a time."
Without mastery of their mindset an athlete stands little chance of reaching their full potential on the field or on the court.
All the work you did to make them stronger, faster and more powerful instantly becomes far less valuable the minute that athlete’s emotions gets the best of them.
That’s not why you coach. You care about your athletes and you want them to perform on the field, not just in the weight room. You want them to have a great experience playing their sport.
So with that in mind, coaching speed and power only and hoping your athletes can keep their focus and composure when the game is on the line is leaving the mental game to chance.
This is not an option for you as a coach.
I’ve dedicated my professional life to helping people win the mental game and I’d like to share with you some of what I’ve learned.
Let’s take a moment and get a better understanding at what’s really going on…
The Physical Game and the Mental Game.
As an IYCA Coach you’re well schooled in the Physical Game.
You know about Long Term Athletic Development and how to write effective programs.
But for most athletes, how well they do with their Mental Game determines how well they do with their Physical Game.
Confidence. Focus. Composure. The ability to master the mental side of the game so that they can let their talent and skills show through.
At the IYCA we believe that the only thing that’s preventing you from integrating the ‘mental game’ into your training as full as you could is that you haven’t been provided with the right education on how to do it.
You need a system or a proven approach that will allow you to coach confidence, focus and consistency. And that’s where Athletic Mindset Mastery comes in.
We’ve leaned on IYCA Expert and 2012 Coach of the Year Melissa Lambert to compile the IYCA’s concepts on improving the ‘inner game’ for young athletes into a simple resource that you can take and immediately apply help your athletes with confidence, focus and consistency. It provides you with a foundation for teaching the mental game.
You’ll be confident you know what you’re coaching once you’ve completed the Athletic Mindset Mastery program and apply the strategies and tactics Melissa shares.
Here’s what you’ll get in Athletic Mindset Mastery:
Module One: Understanding Sport Psychology And It’s Implications For Athletes
Module Two: Enhancing Mental Toughness and Performance
Module Three: Enhancing Health and Well-being
Module Four: Understanding Mental Disorders
Once you’ve implemented this simple and effective approach to helping your athletes achieve the Athletic Mindset they will:

Yale engineers developed "robotic skins" from elastic sheets integrating sensors and electromechanical actuators. The idea is that most any flexible object could be transformed into a robot. Professor Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio and her colleagues reported on their project, called OmniSkins, in the journal Science Robotics. From YaleNews:
Placed on a deformable object — a stuffed animal or a foam tube, for instance — the skins animate these objects from their surfaces. The makeshift robots can perform different tasks depending on the properties of the soft objects and how the skins are applied.
"We can take the skins and wrap them around one object to perform a task — locomotion, for example — and then take them off and put them on a different object to perform a different task, such as grasping and moving an object," she said. "We can then take those same skins off that object and put them on a shirt to make an active wearable device."
Earlier this year, Gundam Factory Yokohama announced plans to debut a 60-foot-tall Gundam robot on October 1, 2020. While construction on this epic mech was initially delayed by COVID-19, it seems that things are back on schedule — so much so, that they let the Gundam out for a test walk.

NEW YORK — Editor's Note: The video above is from July 2018.
If you're a user of Venmo, PayPal's mobile app that allows you to send and receive funds with the tap of a button, you may be happy to know that some changes are being made when it comes to privacy.
In a press release, the company said it wanted to give customers a "brand new, intuitive Venmo experience."
Over the past couple of years there had been a lot of criticism about the app's "global feed," which allowed users to see transactions being done between complete strangers.
It happened because when users first joined the community, their information was set to "public" by default. This enabled strangers to learn a lot about you and your transactions.
Now, the global feed setting will be removed, and the "friends feed" will be the only social feed available to customers.
"The Venmo community has grown to more than 70 million customers, so this change allows customers to connect and share meaningful moments and experiences with the people who matter most," the company mentioned in its release.
A new navigation design will allow users to switch between their social feeds, Venmo products, and their personal profiles.

Fifty years ago this month The Federal Drugs Agency (FDA) approved the use of the birth control pill - the first product to be approved that "was not designed to treat an illness but rather to modify a normal process" - Read more by clicking HERE.
Cited as one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the 20th century, 'the pill' was to have a major impact on the lives of millions of women, their marriage and family life.
I wonder then what Margaret would have made of actress, RAQUEL WELSH**, blaming the pill for the decline of marriage, by saying:
The widespread use of oral contraceptives had led to a breakdown in sexual morality and added to the growth of promiscuity among young people.
The situation had become so serious that "these days nobody seems able to keep it in their pants or honour a commitment"(And) Whilst it carried some benefits, the enduring legacy of The Pill was social anarchy - Simon Caldwell reporting in The Daily Telegraph (Click HERE for the full article.)

A beginner’s guide to electric driving
How EVs make a world of difference
We all want to do our part to help save the planet, but most of us don’t know where to start. After all, what difference can one person really make, in the face of the current climate crisis? Well, actually, a LOT! Every action each one of us takes has a cumulative effect—so, instead of getting overwhelmed by all the things we can’t do, let’s focus on one thing we can—choosing which car to drive.
Choosing an electric vehicle over a conventional petrol/diesel car makes a world of difference in your carbon footprint, not to mention your health and budget. Here are a few more reasons why becoming a plug-in driver is a smart first step towards saving the planet.
Good for the planet
Electricity is a form of renewable energy, so you won’t be expending limited resources, like fossil fuels, to power your electric vehicle. And even when you take the electricity generation into account, EVs are still greener than petrol or diesel cars. Plug-in hybrids produce significantly less greenhouse gas exhaust emissions as well, and pure EVs don’t produce any emissions at all. So, switching to an electric vehicle definitely helps you reduce your carbon footprint, which is good for the planet. You can also recycle the engine (or battery) of an electric car, which reduces the need for production – which in turn lowers the overall damage done to the environment. Also, more eco-friendly production methods and materials make some EVs even more attractive.
For example, the Nissan Leaf manufacturers upcycled water bottles, plastic bags, old car parts, and even second-hand home appliances into its interior and exterior, making it even more environmentally friendly.
Good for your body
But an EV doesn’t just have an impact on global factors. Electric mobility is also the 'healthy choice' for your body and budget. Reduced harmful exhaust emissions mean improved air quality, good not only for you but also for everyone else who breathes. Plus, EVs are structurally safer than conventional cars, and also less likely to catch fire, explode, or roll over.
Good for your budget
On average, it costs half as much to travel the same distance in an EV than a conventional vehicle. Electricity is less expensive than petrol, and EVs are more efficient than conventional vehicles. Plus, the cost of electricity is generally much more stable than fuel prices. Some of the latest EVs can drive over 200 miles on a single charge.
And while EVs can be more expensive to purchase than conventional petrol/diesel cars, you can lease one in Private lease or Business lease for an affordable, fixed monthly fee.
Not only will you save time and money by not stopping at the petrol station each week you can also help save the planet.


How Karnataka can benefit from Solar Power

The demand for Electric power in India is increasing by the day. In Karnataka too, the demand is more than the generation of power. That there are continuous power cuts through the day in villages is no news.
As on today, 90 % of hydro-electric energy is already commissioned and a little power can be added to the grid from rivers like Kaveri, Beadthi, Aghanashini etc, but there will be a lot of impact on Environment.
The alternate is thermal power. In our state, more than three thousand megawatts is already added to the grid. But in the thermal plant, there is a lot of impact on environment and disposal of bottom ash and fly ash is the main problem.
Also as per the today’s statistics, the availability of coal in India is only for two hundred fifty years. Hence the alternate is only solar and wind power. For solar power lot of space is required, as a thumb rule commission of one megawatt requires 3 acres of land and it will be difficult to get from the farmers.
In Karnataka a number of rivers flow in various Districts and water will be full in the rainy season and dry in the summer season. As a lot of space is available on the banks of the river, this Government land can be utilized for solar power by constructing column foundation and every 5 kilometers in the river bed 10 megawatts of solar power can be installed and may be increased depending on the space availability.
Just by the solar power plant, a Jack Well can be constructed and 3 to 4, 3000 meter cube per hour river water pump can be installed as 6.6 Kilovolts auxiliary power is available there itself. During the rainy season, the water can be lifted and can be used for agriculture and all tanks can be filled and new tanks can also be constructed for storage of water. As such ground water can be available in summer season. The excess power can be connected to nearby Master Unit Substation. Also, solar panels can be installed at the upstream of major dams.
For the solar plant, the major component is a solar cell. For these solar cells [semiconductors] the major raw materials are silica and little quantity of boron, phosphorus, and titanium oxide. For this, huge quantity of fine silica is available in Kolar Gold Fields and Hutti gold mines which are extracted from Golden ore. Hence, manufacturing units can be set up near Kolar Gold Fields and Hutti gold mines for the manufacture of [semiconductors] and solar panels. For this, technical know-how [Databank] can be imported from other countries like Germany and China. Hence with the manufacture of semiconductors and solar panels in our country, import duty also can be minimized.
The Karnataka government can think regarding the above scheme. The investigation, construction, commission and maintenance of solar plant and pump house can be entrusted to the Karnataka Power corporation as there are expert engineers in the organization and also Karnataka Power corporation is a profitable organization, the transfer of funds is not a problem, or otherwise after investigation it can be entrusted to private entrepreneurs.

Soy sauce is a common accompaniment to Chinese and Japanese food. But tamari? What is it made from and how to shop? Find out here
What are Tamari and Soy Sauce?
Both are made from miso (fermented soybeans), water, and, most often, wheat. High in sodium and used for seasoning, particularly in Asian cuisine.
How to Buy:
Although originating in China, today’s Japanese producers are considered the premier tamari and soy sauce choices. Both are available in gluten free selections made without wheat but with soybeans; regular and low-sodium varieties, as well as a variety of sizes. For fuller, richer flavor choose tamari, considered a better balance of rich and salty. Tamari is thicker, naturally brewed and aged, and has less sodium and wheat. Avoid choices made with MSG. Buy in glass bottles, preferably without an overlay of plastic, for additional freshness. Many imported brands accent longer aging, which adds more complexity to the flavor.
How to Store:
Unopened bottles should be kept in a cool dark cupboard and refrigerated upon opening for up to six months.
How to Use:
Tamari and soy sauce can be used as a seasoning for all savory foods, combined with ginger and garlic for marinades or used in lieu of salt as a finishing touch.
Because of the high sodium content, tamari and soy sauce should be used sparingly by those with high blood pressure. It has 9 percent tryptophan, nearly 5 percent manganese, and modest amounts of protein and niacin. Very low in calories.
Generic and brand-name choices are available at all major supermarkets, however, the highest grade tamari and soy sauces are worth checking for in Asian markets. Unless you’re cooking in huge quantities, avoid the larger sizes even though they’re less expensive per ounce. Opt instead for freshness with smaller bottles. Japanese soy sauce is known as shoyu.

Born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn, music label 88rising has a history in New York City. It only makes sense that their triumphant return to their hometown wouldn’t be dampened by something as small as rain.
Following years of successful events in Los Angeles, Jakarta, and Manila, the label kicked off its first Head In The Clouds festival on the East Coast on May 20 in Forest Hills, New York. Despite the weather, fans showed up in droves (and an array of colorful rain ponchos) to see artists like rising star Spence Lee, indie darling beabadoobee, and K-pop sensation Itzy.
Team EnVi was on the ground all day to capture the action. Check out our photo roundup of Day One below.
Paravi may have gotten her start from a viral TikTok (her smooth cover of “Cloud 9” by Beach Bunny garnered over 40 million views), but she’s far from a one-hit wonder. With her debut release under RCA records less than a year ago, Paravi already secured her spot opening the festival with the very first set of the weekend.
Despite a broken foot, Paravi (and her delightfully bedazzled cast) brought a ray of brightness and energy to the rainy day with warm-sounding pop, including her own version of “Cloud 9,” and bubbly stage presence that had the audience feeling good.
Akini Jing (formerly Zhu Jingxi) is one of 88rising’s latest associated acts, having started working with the label in March with the release of “Pump Up.” Leaning into her synth and Y2K influences, Akini Jing is more than just a singer, using wearable art, AI, and a futuristic aesthetic. Wearing a dramatic pink and blue ruffled jumpsuit with matching gloves and accompanied by metallic pink-blushed backup dancers, Jing made a visual impact that more than matched her intense, multi-dimensional sound.
Even a downpour couldn’t stop Spence Lee. The rain may have picked up, but the dynamic rapper and one of 88’s newest signees took to the stage for a full half hour of high energy performances. Including notable hits like “Arriba” and 2022’s recent release “On God,” Lee proved himself one of the highlights of the festival and solidified himself as an artist to watch.
Keeping up the hype was Los Angeles based Korean rapper Dumbfoundead, roaring through songs like “Hyung” and “K.B.B” to an even more spirited audience. He might have gone a little too hard, at one point wiping out on the water soaked stage. All was good though, as he brought out friend and comedian Akwafina as some damage control to the delight of the crowd.
“I’m MILLI from motherfucking Thailand” is how Thai rapper and singer MILLI introduced herself on stage, and her following set went on to completely demonstrate that. Bold, brash, and unapologetically herself, MILLI blended 88rising collab songs like “Mind Games” and her remix of BIBI’s “The Weekend” with Thai-language songs like “ฟาด” and “พักก่อน” to create a powerhouse performance that only MILLI herself is capable of.
Fresh off a stint opening up for Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour, indie pop act beabadoobee was one of the most highly anticipated acts of the day. Beabadoobee’s ability to command the attention of an audience is impressive. Her toned down set accented by a live band still had the crowd singing along as she crooned through popular songs like “10:36,” “Apple Cider,” and “Care.” Even the stripped down acoustic “Glue Song” had fans shouting the lyrics along with her. Though some might say her songs felt more fitting to the gloomy weather, fans were more than happy throughout her set due to her bright and energetic presence.
K-pop superstars ITZY are no strangers to a capital-P Performance, known for their exceptional dancing skills and strong stage presence. This festival set was no different – despite the troupe of backup dancers, large ITZY-branded flags and bright flashing lights, all eyes were on the five members of the group. Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna shone through sweeping takes on releases like “DALLA DALLA,” “WANNABE,” “LOCO,” and English-single “Boys Like You,” highlighted even further by the glow of light rings help up by thousands of adoring MIDZYs.
The sultry and sensual Raveena was a fitting second to last act for the night. Drenched in cool purple lighting, Raveena led the crowd at the Honda Double Happiness stage in a moody, dreamy performance, slowing things down after a high-energy day. Pulling songs from her first EP to her most recent album, the smooth blend of Western and South Asian influences infused with personality made it clear why Raveena’s catalog has achieved such high acclaim, and why fans rushed from the previous performance to be front and center at hers.

Brad Pitt has just nabbed his second Academy Award, his first for acting for the role of Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Pitt received the first award of the night and beat out fellow Best Supporting Actor nominees Al Pacino (The Irishman), Joe Pesci (The Irishman), Anthony Hopkins (The Two Popes), and Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood). Pitt’s win was expected after he swept every Best Supporting Actor category this award season. His acceptance speech was definitely the most serious of all his prior, and after thanking his director and co-stars, Pitt dedicated the award to his six children.
“This is for my kids, who color everything I do,” he said. “I adore you.”
Pitt is father to Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, all of whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. It was reported earlier this week that the Ad Astra actor skipped the BAFTA’s in order to mend his relationship with Maddox. The two were rumored to be estranged after a flight on a private jet in 2016 where Pitt was accused of abusing his son. The subsequent FBI investigation cleared the actor of all charges shortly after he and Jolie filed for divorce.
In addition to his children, Pitt gave a nod to Quentin Tarantino, whom he worked with for the second time following 2009’s Inglourious Basterds.
“Tarantino, you are original, you are one of a kind — the film industry would be a much drier place without you and I love the ethos you gave Cliff Booth,” he said.
Shortly after, Pitt once again thanked his co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, also nominated for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
“Leo — I’ll ride on your coattails any day, man. The view’s fantastic.”
Eventually, Pitt became emotional after recounting packing all of his things up and moving to California to pursue a career in acting.
“I’m not one to look back, but this has made me do so,” he said. “All the wonderful people I’ve met along the way, to stand here now … ‘Once upon a time in Hollywood,’ ain’t that the truth.”
Also receiving some love from Pitt were the stuntmen and women in the industry, the job of his character Cliff Booth. The audience agreed in roaring applause. For years, there has been a movement to add a stunt category to the Academy Awards, but it has not yet been acknowledged.

The present invention relates to an air temperature control system in a recycling oven for cooking (both by hot air impingement and microwave energy, or by hot air impingement alone), and more particularly to such an oven which is capable of rapidly cooking food products and rapidly effecting cooking air temperature modifications.
Food service venues, such as grocery stores and convenience stores, often carry food that is typically prepared several hours before the food is purchased by the consumer. Not only does this result in substantial inventory loss if traffic is less than expected, but the food itself is often of lower quality than what might be available from a restaurant because it has been prepared well in advance of sale to the consumer and held in anticipation of sale. This reduced quality, as well as the perception of reduced quality in the minds of consumers, results in lower sales than would occur if the food quality was in line with what is cooked and immediately (or almost immediately) sold in restaurants.
Attempts to deliver "cooked to order" food of high quality within an acceptable time frame have not been entirely successful. Indeed, it is precisely this shortcoming which has prevented the creation of acceptable consumer-operated ovens or hot food vending machines (similar in size and concept to the well known soft drink vending machines) which could turn out national "fast food" chain quality food from a partially or fully automated machine.
Ovens which utilize hot air impingement as the sole method of imparting energy to the food product are not typically used in applications which require rapid cooking (e.g., less than 90 seconds) and delivery to the consumer. In such ovens, because this cooking method works from the outside inward, the impinging hot air has only a limited ability to cook the food interior, especially when the product is of substantial dimensions. This drawback illustrates one of the many disadvantages of the conventional hot air impingement oven--namely, it requires several minutes in order to cook the food product by hot air impingement alone.
Further contributing to this long cook time in an air impingement oven is the time the oven requires to adjust to new temperature settings, whether higher or lower, especially in comparison to a conventional microwave oven. Although the conventional microwave oven does not operate with "temperature" settings, its cooking intensity is rated according to the average power of the magnetron (radio frequency emitting device) over time, and regulation thereof requires a mere adjustment of the electronic controls. Such an adjustment of the electronics provides an instantaneous response by the environment within the cooking chamber of the microwave oven. In contrast, the cooking chamber in an air impingement oven is much slower to respond to adjustment, as air temperature is traditionally a function of a heat exchanger temperature. Hence, for warmer air, the heat exchanger must undergo heating until the heat exchange material thereof is sufficiently hot to condition the air passing over it. In contrast, for cooler air, the heat exchanger must sit idle until the heat exchange material thereof is sufficiently cold to cool the air passing over it. Note that this cooling process can be a slower process because of its passive nature, as opposed to the active process involved in heating the air. Therefore, cook setting adjustments in a microwave oven take effect much quicker than do adjustments, especially temperature-lowering adjustments, in a conventional air impingement oven.
The consumer-operated oven market has been largely limited to microwave ovens over the past several years, partially due to the low cost, familiarity, and fast cook times associated with such ovens. Hence, the menus offered to consumers have likewise been limited to those few food products which prepare fairly well in microwaves (e.g., baked potatoes and popcorn). In contrast to air impingement ovens, conventional microwave ovens tend to heat food outwardly from the food interior, resulting in a "synthetic" product, without browning or crisping. A hybrid oven, combining air impingement technology and microwave energy technology, can not only cook foods with proper browning and crisping, but can cook a wide variety of foods at speeds equal to or faster than conventional microwave ovens.
A satisfactory quick-cooking oven must be able to heat or cook food products--from frozen, refrigerated, or ambient temperature states--whether they are already prepared (e.g., frozen fried chicken nuggets), partially prepared (e.g., frozen "par-baked" pizza), or raw (e.g., biscuits, fish). The process must generally be completed within times that the fast food customer has become accustomed to waiting (generally less than 30-60 seconds for most single portion food products). These various pre-cook states require varying oven temperatures in order to produce quality food products. Hence, such a quick-cooking oven must be able to rapidly transition from one temperature to another, whether higher or lower, between each cook cycle or during a cook cycle. By way of an example, such an oven would permit foods requiring different cooking temperatures to be cooked in the oven in relatively rapid succession. As another example, such an oven would permit proper cooking of certain foods which require different cooking temperatures at different stages in the cooking process. (For example, optionally, certain meats are seared at a high temperature for a brief period of time prior to a normal, lower temperature cooking cycle, thereby minimizing moisture loss from the meat). Clearly, an oven which has but a single cooking temperature cannot provide the different cooking temperatures required for different foods, or the different cooking temperatures over a cook cycle required for certain other foods. At present the ovens maintain different zones of the cooking chamber at different temperatures rather than having the cooking temperature being customized and individually arranged for each particular food. Such ovens require the foods to be placed in the appropriate zone and possibly, at a later stage in the cooking process, relocated to a different zone.
It will be readily appreciated that an oven which can complete the cooking process in 30 seconds can enable food to be sold at twice the rate during peak hours than a machine which requires a minute, whether the oven is disposed in a fast food restaurant, in an ancillary foodservice location such as a convenience store, or as part of an automatic vending machine. Additionally, there is a threshold to the amount of time most consumers will wait for a food product to be delivered. Although there may be some debate as to what that threshold time limit is, it is clear that far fewer customers will knowingly wait 90 seconds for delivery of their food than will wait 30 seconds. Meeting the desires of this marginal customer group would also result in additional sales.
A hybrid oven that employs a system to rapidly achieve modified settings for the temperature of the cooking air is capable of successfully delivering "cooked to order" food of high quality within an acceptable time frame. Such an oven enables mastery of the "cooked to order" concept due to the ability of the oven to cook food products quickly, and thereby minimize the wait time required. High quality food is assured because the quick-cooking capability allows fresh ingredients to be used and, ultimately, a fresh finished product to be delivered to the consumer. High quality food is further assured by the use of two cooking methods: hot air impingement for browning and crisping the food exterior, and microwaves for cooking the food interior. Finally, such an oven assures the consumer of an appropriate time frame to deliver the high quality food product because the hybrid cooking means functions to cook all food products quickly.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system, within a recycling hot air impingement oven, that is capable of rapidly modifying the air temperature, thereby enabling operations whereby a consumer can cook single entree portions of food within a limited period of time (e.g., 30 to 60 seconds), depending upon the food type, volume, and whether the food product is in a frozen, refrigerated, or ambient state.
Another object is to provide such a system that in one embodiment works in an oven using hot air impingement means alone to cook food products.
Yet another object is to provide such a system that in another embodiment works in concert with microwave cooking means to cook food products even more rapidly than with hot air impingement alone.
A further object is to provide such a system that contributes to the oven's ability to cook food products that are at least of the quality of food served at fast food restaurants.
It is another object of the present invention to provide such a system which does not diminish the oven's ability to cook a wide range of food products, one after another, but at a faster rate than without such a system.
It is a still further object to provide such a system which is safe, simple, and economical to manufacture, use, and maintain.
It has now been found that the above and related objects of the present invention are obtained in a system for rapid air temperature modification in a recycling oven using hot air impingement for cooking. In such a system the recycling air may be made to selectively bypass the heat exchanger, thereby to rapidly achieve reduced cook chamber temperatures, as desired by the user.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a system that comprises a shell or conduit configured and dimensioned to receive a stream of air through an inlet and to discharge a stream of air through an outlet. The shell is further configured to provide independent first and second paths of travel to guide independent streams of air passing between the inlet and outlet of the shell. The first path houses heating means so that all air passing through this first path will be conditioned (heated) by the heating means. The second path has no heating means and merely permits passage of the stream of air through the shell, preferably unimpeded passage. A mixing space or chamber exists just prior to the outlet of the shell, wherein the air leaving the first path is mixed with the air leaving the second path, so that a single, common thermally-uniform stream of air is created prior to such united stream passing through the outlet and into the cooking chamber. Control means maintain the temperature of the air leaving the outlet at a level according to a predetermined temperature.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shell further comprises an adjustable baffle located adjacent the entrances of the first and second paths to vary the volumes of the air streams passing through the first and second paths. In this instance, the control means includes means for adjusting the baffle in response to at least one factor selected from the group consisting of a change in the temperature of the cooking chamber or a change in the predetermined temperature. It will be appreciated that the second path is devoid of any heating means comparable to that in the first path for heating the stream of air passing therethrough.
The system is preferably disposed between a blower means, providing a steady stream of air into the system, and a cooking chamber, receiving impingement air from the system for cooking various food items placed into the cooking chamber.
The present invention additionally encompasses a method of rapidly modifying cook temperatures within a recycling oven. A shell is provided having an inlet for receiving a stream of air and an outlet for expelling a stream of air as well as a first and second path for at least partially conducting independent streams of air between the inlet and the outlet. Only the stream of air that passes through the first path is heated. The air stream leaving the first path and the air stream leaving the second path are mixed prior to leaving the outlet. The amount of heat transferred to the air passing through the first path is controlled, and the ratio of the volumes of the air stream passing through the first and second paths is controlled, in order to allow their mixed temperature to match some predetermined temperature.
The above and related objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description of the presently preferred, albeit illustrative, embodiments of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of the system of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view thereof.
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof, therein illustrated schematically is a recycling oven, generally designated 10, incorporating (as illustrated in broken line) the system of the present invention for rapid air temperature modification, generally designated 12.
In its conventional aspects, the recycling oven includes a cook chamber 20 wherein the food is cooked at least partially by hot air impingement, a blower 22, a heat exchanger 24 disposed in a path 1 (or other means for contributing heat to the air traversing path 1) and impingement tubes 26 (or other apertures in the top of the cook chamber 20) for introducing streams of hot impingement air into the cook chamber 20. While the blower 22 is illustrated as being intermediate the cook chamber 20 and the heat exchanger 24, clearly it may be disposed elsewhere as well--for example, intermediate the heat exchanger 24 and the impingement tubes 26. It will be appreciated that the term "heat exchanger" is used broadly to include any means for directly or indirectly heating the air passing therethrough (e.g., using burners). As the overall conventional configuration of a hot air recycling oven is well-known to those skilled in the oven art, further details thereof are not deemed necessary herein.
Turning now to the novel aspects of the present invention, the system for rapid air temperature modification is illustrated within the dotted line 12. The system comprises a shell or air conduit having an inlet 32 for receiving a stream of air (typically hot air which has been cooled somewhat in the cook chamber 20) and an outlet 34 for discharging a stream of air (which enters the impingement tubes 26 for passage into the cook chamber 20). Associated with the shell are a first path (labeled PATH 1) and a second path (labeled PATH 2) disposed intermediate the inlet 32 and the outlet 34 to guide independent streams of air through the shell. A heat exchanger or like heating means 24 is conventionally disposed in the first path for heating a stream of air passing through the first path. The heating means 24 heats the stream of air passing through the first path relative to the stream of air passing through the second path. The stream of air passing through the second path typically passes through a bypass 35 about the heating means 24 and is not intentionally heated at all, although it may receive some heat due to its proximity to the heating means 24.
A mixing chamber 36 is disposed adjacent and before the outlet 34. The stream of air leaving the first path joins and mixes with the stream of air leaving the second path within the mixing chamber 36 so that a single thermally-uniformed stream of air passes through the outlet 34. When the blower 22 is disposed in the cutlet 34, it may also serve as the mixing chamber 36 for mixing the two streams of air.
An adjustable baffle 40 is located adjacent to the entrances to the first and second paths in order to vary the ratio of the volumes of the air streams passing through the first and second paths--e.g., to selectively limit the volume of air passing through the second path. By controlling the volume of air passing through one path, the remaining volume of air is forced to pass through the other path. Control means 42 are provided for adjusting the setting of the adjustable baffle 40 in response to variations in pertinent parameters of the cooking operation. The pertinent activity of the oven which is monitored by the control means 42 and provides the basis for adjustment to the baffle 40 is a change in the temperature of the cooking chamber 20, a change in the predetermined temperature of the air leaving the outlet 34 or a combination thereof. More particularly, the control means 42 adjust the baffle 40 for maintaining the temperature of the air leaving the outlet 34 at a level according to a predetermined temperature.
The control means 42 preferably operates according to two control loops. The first control loop is solely dedicated to maintaining the heat exchanger at a preset temperature higher than the cook chamber temperature. For most foods the preset temperature is about 600-850° F. but about 300-600° F. for baked goods. It should be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that alternatively, there may be cases in which the desirability of minimizing oven size and/or peak power input would dictate a smaller heat exchanger running at a higher temperature. In other words, a smaller heat exchanger running at a higher temperature (e.g., 1200° F.) could supply the same or a substantially larger amount of heat energy to the air passing through it as a larger heat exchanger running at a lower temperature (e.g., 650° F.). Or, a heat exchanger operating at a higher temperature (e.g., 1200° F.) could be used to store energy for short periods of time to reduce the peak input power requirements of an oven (e.g., (850-850° F.). Obviously since the preferred cook temperature is independent of the cook chamber size and heat exchanger operating temperature, the air bypass system discussed herein provides a specific means to accomplish delivery of the desired cook temperature, even from a smaller heat exchanger operating at a significantly higher temperature (e.g., 1200° F.).
In a conventional recycling hot air impingement oven, sophisticated controls are necessary to maintain the heat exchanger at a preset temperature because the energy input to the heat exchanger must be varied as the air speed therethrough changes. Varying air speed changes result in a varying volume of air within the heat exchanger for heating to a predetermined temperature. This problem is avoided by the present invention because the heat exchanger attempts to maintain a constant preset temperature and any necessary variation in the temperature of the air leaving the outlet 34 is achieved on a real time basis by a baffle or like means for varying the ratio of the volumes of the air streams passing into the first and second paths. Of course, over time a resetting of the preset heat exchanger temperature may be required.
The second control loop is solely dedicated to maintaining a constant temperature in the cooking chamber 20, typically 300 to 550° F. (preferably 520° F.) and hence at the outlet 34. The second control loop is responsible for adjusting the baffle 40 to vary the ratio of the volumes of the air streams allowed to travel the two paths, while taking into account the cook settings--e.g., the blower speed and, in the case of a hybrid oven, the microwave energy level.
Preferably, the heat exchanger temperature maintained by the first control loop is set at a much higher level than the cooking chamber temperature, as the air passing therethrough (and through the first path) will be mixed with cooler recycled air from the second path prior to entrance to the cook chamber 20. An advantage of this feature is that it permits the heat exchanger to have a relatively small amount of surface area, relying on the higher temperature of the heat exchanger to transfer the appropriate amount of heat to the passing air. Once the heat exchanger reaches the desired temperature, it is left there and the temperature at the outlet 34 (and hence the temperature in the cook chamber 20) is adjusted via the second control loop.
As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the present invention, utilizing a bypass to avoid passage through the heat exchanger, allows the recycling oven to maintain a closed loop--that is, to avoid having to draw in substantial amounts of cool outside air. The closed loop system is advantageous because of its simple design which requires only a minimum of extra ducting with no additional blower. Hence, there is an energy and cost saving associated with the present invention.
Furthermore, outside air would be far too cool to efficiently and economically reduce the air temperature within the cooking chamber to a lower level. Thus, the present invention simply uses recycled air, which typically has lost approximately 100-150° F. during passage through the cooking chamber 20, depending upon the heat losses in the oven and the amount of food placed in the oven (the oven walls and food serving as heat sinks). This recycled air is naturally at an ideal temperature level to rapidly facilitate a desired reduction in the temperature of the cooking chamber. Typical recipes may require temperature drops in the oven of usually no more than 100° F., and the present invention enables rapid temperature drops in the oven of up to 100° F., typically 100-150° F. It will be recognized, however, that the walls of the oven 10 (preferably formed of stainless steel) act as a heat sink. The greater the heat sink effect, the higher the temperature swings possible on a real time basis because the oven walls remove more heat from the hot air stream. Of course, on a relatively long term basis (about 15 minutes) the swings in the cooking chamber temperature may be greater and centered about a lower different temperature as the cooking chamber walls either absorb or release heat.
It should be appreciated that the present invention does not exclude the possibility of using outside air, which is even cooler than the recycled air entering the inlet 32, for such purposes as cooling the magnetrons of a hybrid oven, the control panel of the oven, or the exterior housing of the oven without substantially affecting the temperature of the recycled air. Indeed, in those instances where a more rapid cooling of the recycled air is desired than can be achieved simply through use of the bypass, means may be provided (not shown) for introducing cool external air (that is, ambient air from outside of the oven) into the recycled air stream. This cool external air may be introduced either at the mixing chamber 36, upstream of the mixing chamber 36 in the bypass ducting 35 or, less preferably, downstream of the mixing chamber 36 at the outlet 34. If necessary, a blower or other means may be employed to ensure that the cool external air enters the stream of recycled air, which may be at a pressure greater than atmospheric.
Because the cooking chamber temperature may be rapidly varied according to the food products in the cooking chamber, the oven may be used to cook a wide range of food products, one after another, even when the different food products require widely different cook temperatures. In instances where the complete cooking of a food product is preferably performed at different temperatures at different points during the cook cycle, the ability to vary the cook temperature rapidly and without human intervention enables the finished product to be of high quality--in many cases higher than the quality provided by fast food restaurants. For example, when a steak is "seared" and then moved to a lower temperature, that "human intervention" causes a higher quality product than had the steak been cooked from beginning to end without changing cook temperature. This is because the "searing" process seals in the juices inherent in the steak. The oven of the present invention delivers higher quality than might be possible in a food service operation where skilled labor is limited, because the oven of the present invention can modify the cook temperature and air velocities without "human intervention."
To summarize, the present invention provides, within a recycling hot air impingement oven, a system that is capable of rapidly modifying the air temperature, thereby enabling operations where a consumer can cook single entree portions of food within a limited period of time (e.g., 30-60 seconds) depending upon the food type, volume and whether the food product is in a frozen, refrigerated or ambient state. The oven may rely on hot air impingement means alone for cooking or on hot air impingement means in concert with microwave cooking means, thereby to cook food products even more rapidly then with hot air impingement alone. Because the temperature used for cooking the food products may be varied rapidly, the food products may be of at least the quality served at fast food restaurants and the oven may be used to cook a wide range of food products, one after another, but at a faster rate then without such a system. The system is safe, simple and economical to manufacture, use and maintain.
Now that the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail, various modifications and improvements thereon will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the spirit and scope of the present invention is to be construed broadly and limited only by the appended claims, and not by the foregoing specification.

Happy New Year! I’m kicking off 2016 with a delicious recipe for Rockin’ Honey Curry Chicken Wings. My husband loves chicken wings, especially for our New Year’s celebration. When I was stocking up on wings, the butcher at my market told me I needed to try making Honey Curry wings. He didn’t share the recipe with me, but mentioned a few ingredients. So I decided to try my own version. Luckily, they were delicious and a big hit at our little NYE party! The family loved them so much that I made another batch today and fine-tuned the recipe to share with you!
Let’s get started!
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil
- 3 tbs. Honey
- 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Curry Powder
- 1/4 tsp. Cheyenne Pepper
- Cooking spray
- Season cleaned wings with salt and pepper
- Bake in greased baking pan at 425 degrees for 15 minutes
- Turn and bake for an additional 15 minutes
- While chicken is baking, combine coconut oil, honey, mustard and spices in a small saucepan.
- Wisk until thickened.
- Once wings have cooked for 30 minutes, combine wings and sauce in a large bowl.
- Mix well.
- Return wings to baking pan and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
With Super Bowl around the corner, these are sure to be a big hit at any football party!
I also made some teriyaki wings, buffalo wings and mini shrimp cocktails for our little finger food fiesta. 🙂 I hope you give them a try, and let me know what you think!
Wishing you all a prosperous and blessed 2016!

“Spire Point” is a manufacturer’s brand name for their own spitzer-style bullet. Just like “Kleenex” refers to all manufacturers’ facial tissues, so too does “Spire Point” refer to all types of spitzer bullets. The word “spitzer” comes from the German word spitzgeschuss – literally “pointed shot (bullet).”
In simpler terms, a spitzer bullet is a pointed bullet!
What Is a Spitzer Bullet?
You don’t have to be a physics wizard to appreciate the performance advantage a bullet gains by being pointed. When its point is facing forward, a pointed object encounters less air resistance than a round-nose profile but otherwise identical object would. This is why we design rockets with nose cones. It’s also why footballs are football-shaped.
Early rifle bullets didn’t have pointed tips. The round nose rifle bullets of the 19th century were easy enough to mass produce, at the time, but their relatively high drag coefficients meant several performance disadvantages.
Drag Coefficient and Bullet Flight
The higher its drag coefficient, the more air resistance a bullet encounters in flight. A bullet which meets more air resistance loses accordingly more velocity as it flies downrange. Such a bullet will exhibit a steeper trajectory, as the effect of gravity stays constant regardless of how fast a bullet is traveling. A slower-moving bullet will necessarily strike its target with proportionately less energy, and it is also more susceptible to the straying effects of wind drift.
Everything changed when a Frenchman named Captain Georges Raymond Desaleux set about developing a superior bullet for the 8x50mmR Lebel in the late 1890s. In addition to making the 8x50mmR Lebel bullet lighter and loading it to a higher muzzle velocity, Captain Desaleux also gave it a pointed nose profile.
The results spoke for themselves. The original 8x50mmR Lebel bullet was capable of retaining approximately 46% of its muzzle velocity at 800 meters. Captain Desaleux’s innovative 8x50mmR Lebel bullet, on the other hand, retained 55% of its muzzle velocity at the same range. Weaponized aerodynamics.
French officials noted the spitzer bullet’s flatter trajectory, heightened resistance to wind drift and superior energy delivery downrange. They took a four-hour lunch break, smoked some cigarettes, and decided the French Army very much deserved ammunition which would let them incapacitate enemy combatants from farther away.
All the world’s armies soon adopted spitzer bullets. They remain in use to this day, and are unlikely to get phased out until laser guns become practical.
Why Aren’t All Bullets Pointed?
Shooters typically fire Spitzer bullets in intermediate and high-powered rifle cartridges. But if a spitzer bullet is more ballistically efficient, why aren’t all bullets pointed?
Handgun cartridges typically aren’t capable of propelling a bullet to a high enough velocity for a spitzer bullet’s advantages to make themselves apparent. A spitzer bullet’s higher ballistic coefficient doesn’t provide a marked improvement in accuracy at the shorter ranges handgun cartridges are fired over. Sure, a spitzer 45 ACP bullet would look cool, but it wouldn’t do much else.
Even if a round nose bullet’s effective range is shorter, it does have a tendency to inflict more damage to soft tissue without accompanying terminal expansion. That’s good for hunting African game animals, which is why many large game hunting bullets have round nose profiles. Terminal expansion would probably prevent a bullet from penetrating deeply enough to access an elephant’s vital organs!
Many bullets lack pointed nose profiles for other reasons. For example, the wadcutter is cylindrical because that profile enables it to stamp a clean, easy to see hole through paper. Alternatively, it could gouge a broad wound channel through soft tissue without having to undergo terminal expansion.
Lever-action rifle bullets have traditionally required blunt nose profiles. This is because lever guns store their ammunition in tubular magazines. A pointed bullet is capable of igniting the primer it butts up against. Hornady LEVERevolution bullets avoid this problem thanks to their supple polymer tips but the vast majority of lever-action cartridges still have flat noses.
Are Spire Point Bullets Good for Hunting or Self-Defense?
Yes – if you have the right kind of spire point bullets. Knowing that a bullet is a spire point does not mean you can assume its terminal ballistics. It may be a full metal jacket (FMJ), in which case the bullet will not expand while penetrating soft tissue (aka optimal terminal ballistics for hunting/self-defense).
Open tip (and open tip match) bullets are also spire point, but they are similarly incapable of terminal expansion. These bullets have technically got hollow point nose cavities. Its cavity is the byproduct of the open tip’s manufacturing process, however, and it’s not capable of providing terminal expansion.
Spire point hollow point boat tail (HPBT) bullets are usually non-expanding. You should know, there are some exceptions like the Berger Hunter Hybrid. Companies design many polymer tipped bullets like the Hornady ELD Match strictly for accuracy. They design others for accuracy and terminal expansion, like the Hornady ELD-X.
Soft point bullets are always a safe bet for hunting and personal defense (and economical, too). Whether you go with round nose or pointed soft point bullets, your accuracy will still benefit from the spire point profile’s low-drag ballistics.
