Un concept de vélo intéressant. Par contre, je m'interroge sur la durabilité du pivot arrière.
If you’ve ever been at an event with a prominent person like a politician, celebrity, or business executive, you’ve likely noticed the dudes wearing sunglasses and sporting an earpiece, trying to look as unassuming as possible while vigilantly keeping an eye out for their client, or “principal.”
These guys are part of a personal security detail, and their job is to protect VIPs from harassment and harm.
Most of us will likely never be able to afford our own bodyguard, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use the same mindset and skills these professionals use to protect their high-powered clients, to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Today on the show, I talk to former executive bodyguard Nick Hughes about his book How to Be Your Own Bodyguard. We begin our conversation discussing Nick’s stint in the French Foreign Legion and how that transitioned to his work in executive protection. We then discuss how a bodyguard’s primary focus is to prevent violence or altercations from occurring in the first place and the tactics that can accomplish that goal. Nick walks us through how criminals pick out their victims, and how to avoid being targeted. We then discuss how to verbally defuse a situation before it turns to blows and the legal ramifications of self-defense. We end our conversation with tactics you can use to stay safe, whether you’re vacationing abroad or driving the streets of your hometown.

Une recette de moutarde à tester !
Vraiment très simple à faire. Le résultat est vraiment intéressant. Je pense que je mettrais plus de cacao pour accentuer le goût de chocolat.
À tester avec d'autres saveur !
Ingrédients (pour 2 personnes)
- ½ litre de lait entier
- 5 cuillères de cacao pur en poudre (environ 50 grammes)
- 5 cuillères de sucre en poudre (environ 75 grammes)
- 3 cuillères de fécule de maïs (environ 30 grammes)
Instructions
- Mélanger les ingrédients secs dans la popote.
- Ajouter le lait froid et bien mélanger.
- Mettre sur le feu.
- Remuer régulièrement.
- Dès l’ébullition, la crème va progressivement s’épaissir.
- Couper le feu lorsque sa texture est à mi-chemin entre son état initial (liquide) et la consistance désirée.
- Bien mélanger.
- Servir froid.
Je viens de faire un test en remplaçant les 50 grammes de cacao par 35 grammes de chicorée. On verra bien ce que ça donne. → C'est excellent ! Si on est amateur de chicorée :)
À tester mais sans le sucre contenant de la pectine. J'ajouterais du jus de pomme à la place.
Ingrédients
- 100 g de fleur séchées d'hibiscus
- 4 tasses ( 1 litre ) d'eau
- 500 g de sucre spécial confiture
Méthode
- Rincer les fleurs à l'eau froide.
- Les plonger dans 1 litre d'eau, couvrir et porter à ébullition; laisser cuire 15 minutes.
- Filtrer le jus dans une passoire tapissée d'un coton à fromage ( étamine ), au dessus d'une casserole à fond épais.
- Ajouter 2 cuillerées de sucre prélevées sur la quantité initiale, mélanger au fouet puis porter à ébullition et faire bouillir 1 minute.
- Ajouter le reste de sucre et faire bouillir 3 minutes.
- Mettre la confiture en pots et visser fermement les couvercles, puis renverser les récipients et laisser refroidir.
J'ai découvert ça hier sur Netflix. Ça a l'air vraiment très bon. À tester !
Ingredients
- 2 medium or 4 small eggplants, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 large or 2 medium onions, sliced very thin
- 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1½ pounds (3 large or 6 medium) tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil (optional)
- Salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup water
- 2½ teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and brush with olive oil. Slit the eggplants down the middle, being careful not to cut through the skin. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until the outer skin begins to shrivel. Remove from the oven and transfer, cut side down, to a colander set in the sink. Allow to drain for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender, 5 to 8 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Add the tomatoes, herbs, salt to taste and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil.
- Turn the eggplants over and place in the pan, cut side up. Season with salt. Fill with the onion and tomato mixture. Mix together the remaining olive oil, the remaining sugar, the water and the lemon juice. Drizzle over and around the eggplants. Cover the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, checking the pan for liquid and basting from time to time with the liquid in the pan, and adding water to the pan if it becomes too dry. By the end of cooking the eggplants should be practically flat and the liquid in the pan slightly caramelized. Spoon this juice over the eggplant. Allow to cool in the pan, and serve at room temperature.
Tip
- Advance preparation: You can roast the eggplant through Step 1 and make the filling through Step 2 several hours before assembling and cooking the imam bayildi. Once cooked, the finished dish can sit for several hours.
C'est vraiment bon !
If you’re like most people these days, you probably rely on the turn-by-turn directions given by a smartphone app to navigate to where you want to go. While Google Maps has certainly made getting around a lot more convenient, my guest today makes the case that by relying on GPS to navigate, we’re turning our backs on a skill that makes us uniquely human.
Her name is Maura O’Connor, and she’s a journalist and the author of Wayfinding: The Science and Mystery of How Humans Navigate. We begin our conversation discussing what goes on in our brain when we navigate and how we use the same part of the brain that we use for memory when we’re getting around town. We then discuss how human navigation differs from animal navigation and the cultural tools that humans have developed over millennia to help them find their way, including storytelling and songs. Maura then shares research that suggests our language influences our sense of location and space and how our ancient ancestors sowed the seeds of the scientific method when they were tracking animals while hunting. We also discuss recent research that suggests relying too heavily on GPS may increase your risk for dementia and be linked to other mental health problems. We end our conversation by musing on how it is that using GPS can shrink your sense of autonomy, while navigating on your own feels existentially empowering.
Show Highlights
- What’s going on in our brain when we navigate?
- The connection between memory and navigation
- Lessons from the inuits on navigating
- The two strategies your brain uses to navigate
- How does navigation possibly explain childhood amnesia?
- Why kids should be able and allowed to freely explore their environment
- How animals navigate vs. how humans navigate (and what we can learn from them)
- Storytelling and navigation
- The relationship between language and navigation
- The existential threat of GPS
- What the implications of using our brain less in navigating?

La recette du caramel Méxicain façon Dulce de Leche.
Ingredients
- 2 litres goat's milk (You can substitute cow’s milk, or use a combination of cow and goat milk.)
- 2½ cups dark brown sugar or shredded piloncillo, lightly packed
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Place a large pot (I use my new copper one!) over medium heat. Pour milk, vanilla, sugar and baking soda, give it a good stir and let it come to a simmer. Keep it at a steady medium simmer for about one hour and a half, stirring occasionally, every 15 to 20 minutes or so, with a wooden spatula or spoon. The mix will gradually thicken and darken.
- After about an hour and a half, the liquid will have thickened and reduced and the simmer will become stronger. Reduce the heat to medium low, to keep it at that constant medium simmer. You want active bubbling, but not over the top angry bubbles. Stir a bit more frequently, as you don’t want the bottom to develop a thicker layer.
- You know the cajeta is ready when: It achieves a caramel brown color; it is thick as liquid caramel or syrup, much like a chocolate syrup consistency; it envelops the back of the spoon; when you gently stir across the pot with your wooden spoon, a slightly delayed trail behind the spoon appears, revealing the bottom of the pot if only for a few seconds; as you slowly lift up the wooden spoon or spatula, cajeta takes it’s time to drop and lastly, the sides of the pot show how the cajeta has cooked down and if you run your spoon across that side, you get a fudgy (and delicious) residue.
- Turn off the heat and let cool (it will thicken considerably as it cools).
- Place in a glass jar, cover tightly with a lid. It will keep in refrigerator for up to 6 months.
