![]() You can’t set it to brew on a timer, and the only way to choose your coffee’s boldness is to change the amount of coffee you add. The main downside to this model is that it isn’t programmable. After seeing it on our testing counter, I knew it definitely wouldn’t fit in my kitchen. Even so, make sure you measure your space before you buy. The important comparison is that it’s smaller than two standard coffee makers. It’s definitely larger than a standard coffee maker, but that’s to be expected. My safe conclusion: you could just as easily use it to satisfy lovers of dark roasts and light roasts. So I had to test its duality with our team members. A friend of mine has been using it at the office to brew a pot of decaf and a pot of regular coffee at the same time ( 5). The CucinaPro double brewer is a great choice for homes or offices where not everyone has the same taste in coffee. The SS-16, of course, has all the other functions you expect at the price point – a 24-hour brew timer, adjustable coffee strength, auto-off, and self-cleaning. The adjustable hot-plate temperature was a welcome surprise, great to keep coffee warm while avoiding unpleasant burnt flavors. I clocked it at just 7 minutes from turn-on to a full carafe during testing. I don’t know if I’d call it “extreme,” but it does brew coffee much faster than average. The most impressive feature when brewing a full carafe of coffee is the patented ExtremeBrew technology. I highly recommend the latter when making coffee over ice, as it allows a higher coffee dose. You can brew with K-Cup pods and ground coffee, using the included refillable K-Cup. The Over Ice setting brews an extra bold and concentrated shot designed to be diluted by ice. ![]() The single-serve side of this coffee maker brews six different sizes (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 oz, and Over Ice). And I agree with them: cuisinart’s had a bolder flavor that didn’t fade as the ice melted. While this brewer can’t match the versatility of the Ninja top pick, our taste testers actually preferred Cuisinart’s Over Ice setting. The Cuisinart Coffee Center has a few user-friendly features that caught our attention, but it was the delicious iced coffee that landed it on this list. There’s even a dual heating system so you can make coffee and espresso simultaneously. Set it to brew on a timer, customize your coffee’s strength, and program the automatic shutoff mode. The drip side of this machine is no slouch either, with full programmability. While espresso purists might scoff, the non-professional baristas on our team loved that it only took minutes to master the basics of steaming milk for lattes and cappuccinos. ![]() And this I love, because I also love milky drinks. The manual steam wand is easy to use thanks to a froth-assisting cover. I tested it with medium and dark roast coffees and found the shots to be sweet, robust, and topped with a thick layer of crema – just as you expect from any De’Longhi espresso machine. This machine doesn’t just make a strong shot of coffee like some of the others it makes real-deal espresso using a 15-bar pump and a patented system that enhances flavors and aroma during extraction ( 1). When you become intimate with espresso, you become intimate with coffee. The journey into the world of espresso is a rewarding one. If you love the sound of this machine but want to explore more Ninja coffee makers before you commit, check out our Ninja review roundup. Our team members with limited counter space were quick to comment on how much they appreciated this design flexibility. The 60-ounce water reservoir is not just removable for easy filling it’s movable, too! It can sit at the side or the back of the machine. With ground coffee, you can brew nine different sizes (all equally flavorful), from a small cup to a full pot of coffee. We found that the flavor got a little dilute with the larger sizes, so consider using the Rich setting. We’re not fans of Kcups, but we had to test them for you. If you’re brewing with Kcups, you can choose between four cup sizes, from 6 ounces to 12 ounces. This brewer also includes a fold-away milk frother, so I could turn that specialty coffee into a frothy cappuccino. But the DUalBrew Pro does it well, so why not stress it out in this review. And, yes, I’m guilty of leaning towards espresso even in my black coffee standards. I particularly loved the Specialty setting, which yields a strong shot of coffee similar to espresso.

![]() He transferred to the elite New York university in 2018. He graduated from Columbia University.īut before he made it to Columbia, Shlomo actually had to take classes at Rockland Community College, per Bustle. He occasionally will make appearances on the show, though. Julia's youngest son, Aron, still lives with Yosef in Monsey. Now, however, he lives in New York with his mom and sisters. Since Shlomo was still so young at the time, he stayed in Monsey with his dad, per Bustle. Julia cut ties with her community in 2012, but she's still on good terms with her ex-husband, Yosef Hendler. Shlomo initially stayed with his dad when Julia left. ![]() Okay, but who is Shlomo Haart, exactly, and what's he doing now? Here’s what you need to know. Understandably, people have a lot of questions about her kids, and specifically about her eldest son, Shlomo Haart, who starts going on more dates this season after previously revealing that the whole dating scene was hard for him to navigate. While Julia is clearly the star of the show, everyone also gets to learn more about her four kids, Batsheva, Shlomo, Miriam, and Aron, each of whom are on their own self-discovery journeys, trying to figure out how Judaism fits into their lives. (They're in the middle of divorce proceedings, BTW). Julia, as you probably know by now, was the former CEO of a large model management agency, Elite World Group, before she was fired by her estranged husband, Silvio Scaglia. In January 2022, Haart announced a “luxury high-tech” shapewear company called “ Body By Julia Haart.” At the time of launch, Haart told Daily Mail, “The +Body by Julia Haart line defies the outdated, oppressive concept of modesty – it’s shapewear that’s meant to be seen, for bodies that are meant to be celebrated.” She added, “since I left the ultra-Orthodox community, my mission to liberate women has been at the heart of every business move I’ve made and every product I’ve brought to market.” One-piece leotards start at $198 while shapewear dresses can be purchased for $228.My Unorthodox Lifejust dropped its second season, pulling viewers back into the fabulous world of Julia Haart, a woman who left her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Monsey, New York, to start a new life as a fashion mogul with her kids in New York City. “This last season I had 250 ready-to-wear pieces, but then I had probably 3,000 or 4,000 lingerie pieces, and probably a couple hundred beachwear pieces,” she told the outlet in 2018. She subsequently went on to serve as the Creative Director of Italian lingerie house La Perla, where she told The Cut that she designed upwards of 4,000 pieces per season. The creation and sale of this company are what set Haart up for a successful career in the world of fashion and modeling. The company that first put her on the map was Haart’s eponymous shoe line, which was sold for an undisclosed, though likely hefty, sum. Trend Net Worth reported that she raked in almost $2 million per year as the CEO of the company, and another $500 million if her claim of co-ownership is to be believed. Still, her contributions to the company helped grow its valuation from $90 million to $1 billion over the course of two years. ![]() Haart was previously the co-owner of major talent agency Elite Group alongside her now ex-husband Silvio Scaglia, but she was fired from the company in 2022 and a judge ruled that she had falsely claimed to be a co-owner of the business. “I was so determined that I didn’t stop to wonder if I would fail,” she told Peoplein 2021, noting that success was the only option.Īhead of My Unorthodox Life Season 2’s premiere, fans may be wondering: how much are Haart’s successes actually worth? Here’s a breakdown of the various checks the reality star and fashion mogul cashes. ![]() Julia Haart’s story is the epitome of the “American dream.” The My Unorthodox Lifestar left her conservative Orthodox Jewish community at age 43 and subsequently created a shoe company and became the head of talent agency Elite World Group, which has given her the lavish lifestyle portrayed on her Netflix reality show.įrom the moment of her rebirth in 2013, failure was not an option for Haart. ![]() Until recently, there were only two types of Microsoft Teams: the free version and the version that comes with the corporate office 365 package. Microsoft made a big announcement : the launch of Microsoft Teams Essentials, a new variation of Teams aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. At Copperband Technologies, we’re a fan of Teams. We think it’s a great tool for businesses that work remotely or use a hybrid model. We’re also pleased to see that Microsoft has introduced a version of its software specifically for the SMB market. Teams Essentials is an affordable, professional meeting solution designed to help small businesses communicate and collaborate in an easy, secure, and reliable way. This is something it had so far failed to do. If you’re thinking about migrating to Teams, or wondering which package is best for you, then read on to learn more about Microsoft Teams Essentials and how it fairs against the Free and Enterprise versions. ![]() Or upgrade to pro to get enterprise-grade security and AI-powered audio and video.

Microsoft Teams Rooms (Basic or Pro) Strengthen hybrid work with enhanced meeting experiences for up to 25 rooms for free with Teams Rooms Basicdesigned to make everyone feel included, no matter where they’re working. It became a communication lifeline for big corporations worldwide, enabling employees to collaborate remotely. For SMBs, though, Microsoft Teams’ hefty price tag meant it was often out of reach. SMBs, instead, turned to applications like Slack and Zoom, which have similar functionality but are less expensive. We think that Microsoft has realized that it was missing out on an ample opportunity. SMBs are a considerable part of the business marketplace. How is Microsoft Teams Essentials different from the other versions? Enter Microsoft Teams Essentials (aka: Teams for SMBs). The enterprise-grade Microsoft Teams subscription comes within a broader Microsoft 365 package, giving you access to applications like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and so on. The lowest priced M365 Business package costs $5.00 user/month. ![]() By contrast, Microsoft Teams Essentials is a standalone tool. It gives you access to Teams, but you don’t pay for the 365 applications additions. It includes tools to work effectively with anyone, including Office web apps, file sharing, group chats, task management, and more. What are the advantages of Microsoft Teams Essentials? Video calls of up to 30 hours, containing 300 participants (the Free version only gives you meetings up to 60 minutes and 100 participants).Twice more cloud storage than the free version.A meeting lobby for meetings that haven’t started and Together Mode.While this is only a dollar difference, the price variation quickly adds up if you have a lot of employees. In contrast to the free version of Teams, Microsoft Essentials also has some cool perks that don’t come with the free version, such as: We think that Microsoft has recognized that many SMBs use tools like G-Suite for documents and spreadsheets, which is the reason for this. The Teams Essentials package is $4.00 user/month. Teams Essentials simplifies communications for small businesses and community groups with a single solution for chat and meetingssaving time, and most importantly, keeping meetings and conversations in context.

They and others produced studies of Evagrius's thought that established his central position in early monastic spirituality and his influence on subsequent authors despite his condemnation in 553. Wilhelm Frankenberg, Irénée Hausherr, Joseph Muyldermans, Antoine and Clarie Guillaumont, Gabriel Bunge, and Paul Géhin restored to Evagrius works that had been attributed to other authors, uncovered and published the unexpurgated version of the Kephalaia Gnôstika, and edited and translated texts that survive in Greek and Syriac. 345-399), arguably late antiquity's greatest theorist of the monastic life.

We welcome you to Democracy Now!, Professor Zimbardo. Professor Zimbardo also recently served as president of the American Psychological Association and is now director of the new Center for Interdisciplinary Policy Education and Research on Terrorism. He delivered his final lecture there earlier this month. He’s professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford University, where he’s taught for the last half-century. Professor Zimbardo joins us today from the firehouse studio in New York. It’s called The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. Professor Philip Zimbardo has just written a new book that for the first time tells the full story of the famed Stanford prison experiment. The two-week experiment had to be canceled after just six days. The guards had become dangerously sadistic, and the prisoners were breaking down emotionally. In scenes eerily similar to Abu Ghraib, prisoners were stripped naked, bags put on their heads and sexually humiliated. By day two, the guards were going far beyond keeping the prisoners behind bars. The experiment was scheduled to run for two weeks. In 1971, psychology professor Philip Zimbardo created an experiment at Stanford University in which 24 male college students were randomly assigned the roles of prison guards and prisoners at a makeshift jail on campus, actually in the psychology building. But who’s really to blame for the abuses at Abu Ghraib? The answer may lie in a landmark study conducted more than three decades ago. The Bush administration tried to paint the scandal as an isolated incident committed by rogue soldiers.

Totally worth, at the very least, checking out!! All the other features out surpass that one negative thing in my opinion. Again, maybe I’m doing something wrong, but it’s not the worst thing. I thought apps used to be able to do this without having to open them, but I can’t recall anything anymore. Frustrating because I almost gave up thinking maybe I didn’t save the information in the first place. I had to open the app and search within here to find it. I was looking for some information I know I had saved the other day, but I could not recall where I had saved it. The only feature I would like, and to be honest, I don’t even think you can do it with any app other than the ones that come in the phone (maybe not), is when you search for something on the main screen of your actual phone it doesn’t seem to search through the app. It has every feature, well, except one I can think of, that I, personally, could ask for in an app like this!

The instruction booklet is 68 pages and is broken into 75 steps. It also includes a Dark red 4圆 plate, and a bright Yellow Technic axle which I haven’t encountered before – an interesting addition!įirstly apologies for the rubbish photos. The great news is that the set is DSS (Dreaded Sticker Sheet) free! Another TLG oddity is the lack of consistency in the back (numbering) styles I’m sure that there’s a reason why each of the bags are different but it does seem a little strange! The set consists of 231 parts and there’s a nice array of LBG, DBG, Trans-Orange and Black. The box is almost filled with two bags plus a set of instructions. My initial impression was that it was worth the cost it’s quite heavy for that price point at about 363g (especially compared to the new Escape Pod). Top marks TLG designers, the box-art for SW sets keeps raising the bar The reverse is just as good, with a nice array of images showing specific details and play-features of the set. Ok, I’ll admit that I’m a bit biased about this, but it’s a thing of beauty! They’ve captured the feel of the scene really well and, if it wasn’t for Kylo Ren lurking in the top-right corner, it would be just about perfect. I usually wait for a decent sale before buying sets for my personal collection, but I was happy to pay the full RRP for it. I kept thinking that a new version would be produced and, after 5 years of waiting, my dreams have been realised, well sort of, with the release of a brand new and shiny Cloud City-based set for 2016! I'd intended to buy this from Shop at Home as soon as it was available, but it seems to have been on a continual ‘back-order’ since the start of January, so I ended up picking it up from a local store. I’d always wanted a 10123, but I just couldn’t bring myself to spend the sort of money that a MISB version cost when I left my dark-ages a few years ago, and the cost has spiraled upwards ever-since. Considering that Cloud City takes up a decent percentage of the screen-time in The Empire Strikes Back (aka Episode V) that’s a pretty dismal show over a 15 year period in my opinion 7111, 8012, 7252, 624 to name just a few!) and yet whilst we’ve had multiple Droid carriers, AT-ATs, AT-STs, X-Wings, Y-Wings etc, if I recall correctly there’s only been three previous Cloud City-based sets:įirstly, we had 7119 (Twin-Pod Cloud Car) which although adorable is seriously out-dated, 10123 (Cloud City) which is looking similarly a little ‘tired’ these days if I’m being honest, and finally 9678 (Twin-Pod Cloud Car & Bespin) which was released in 2012. Several of which seem to have very little appeal to anyone (e.g. I’ve said it before, but I really don’t understand TLG’s apparent disinterest for Cloud City, especially when you consider the huge array of sets that have been made since 1999. Did it meet my high expectations? Well, read on and find out! Longer-term members of Eurobricks will probably be aware that I’m just ever so slightly obsessed by all things Cloud City, so when I heard the first rumours of a new Freezing-Chamber set I was rather excited by the prospect.
