Two inoperative USB-C multiport display adaptors, once used to connect laptop computers to projectors until some imperfection caused both to fail and the one on the left to fall apart, making the delicate circuitry vulnerable to further damage. I pried the faceplate off on the other one just to compare its innards (for the record, both circuit boards have components on both sides, an amazing design feat.)

Michael Phillips ~ Intelligentsia Coffee Chicago
2010 United States World Barista Champion
**The United States Barista Championship or USBC, is a competition to decide the most well rounded barista in the United States. Competitors prepare and serve three courses of espresso based beverages consisting of espressos, traditional cappuccinos, and signature drinks. The Competitor must make all three courses of beverages within a fifteen-minute time limit and are judged by six different judges. The judging team consists of four sensory judges and two technical judges. The role of the sensory judge is to score the competitor solely on the quality of the beverage served and customer service. The technical judges are not served drinks, but score the competitor on items ranging from cleanliness to consistency of shot times. Judges do undergo a certification process before the competition.
There are three rounds of judging at the USBC: the preliminary round, the semi-finals with 25 competitors (regional winners are automatically placed in the semi-finals) and the finals with 6 competitors.
The winner represents the United States in the World Barista Championship.

Howdy, guys.
I found my camera USBC chord and battery charger so I figured I'd take a picture on that instead of my phone. (pic blurry cos my arms are sore)

This is just a fraction of the spare USB cables I have acquired over the years. I don’t intentionally collect them; I just have a hard time throwing them away.

Cables, power adapters, memory sticks...
We keep them religiously as accessories to our new devices, especially when they are scarce and hard to find.
And then we get a second one, and a third one, and keeping it isn't really justified any more.
At some point, we have obsolete accessories from devices long gone and each time we dig into this drawer of 'stuff', we postpone the moment of sorting out and getting rid of the junk.
'I might need that one cable one day', we say, only fooling ourselves.
And I'm guilty of this as anyone. I've got several junk drawers waiting for me to get radical and sort out.
One day, I'll do it.
Not today, though.

My new Mac came with no USB-A ports so I got a pack of little USB-A/USB-C converters. They work well enough for cameras, = mice, keyboards, etc.
We had a flat battery on the Corolla, but this was still in the post!
I will never use jumper leads again.
I bet the first time I use it in anger, is on someone else's car!
At the moment it is charging my old HTC mobile and the old iPad as it played Leonard Cohen to my Bose speaker.
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAPczLULhUgzxxM5Jf7LXepkbC...
There are enough USB-A ports to power the Bose too, and at the same time as I charge the JS80. (it has pass-through charging...)
Now I am changing the Bose via the DC interface port on the JS80 with the supplied DC to cigarette lighter cable and the iTechWorld QC 3.0 (whatever that means) port to the Bose USB-A output interface via the Bose USB-A male to micro USB-B into the Bose Get all that lol...
The iTechworld JS80 can keep mobile phones charged via its Quick charge USB ports, provide lighting via its tactical grade torch and provides regulated power to 12v appliances such as a travel fridge or heated blanket.
I bought a 50w blanket and Mary tried it out for an hour.
The JS80 then took 6 hours to recharge from 25%.
Clip from the PDF manual..
The JS80 has four charge LEDs 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The charging LEDs indicate the state of charge (SOC) of the internal battery of the JS80. The charging time of the JS80 will vary depending on the discharge level and the power supply used.
5V 2A - 10 hours
9V 2A - 6 hours
12V 1.5A - 6 - 8 hours 12V 3A - 3 - 4 hours 20V 1.5A - 4 - 6 hours 20V 3A - 2 - 3 hours
Charging up to five devices here…
It charged two iPads, a mobile phone and the BOSE speaker & used down to 25% over 6 hours.
Type A is the female port on the computer (the host). The ports on the peripheral or mobile device are Type B, Mini USB, Micro USB or Apple Lightning.
Before USB-C was introduced, Type A ports were found on every computer.
USB-C is Symmetrical
Have them all on my new iTECHWORLD JS80 jump starter.. 08-05-21

A negative review from another user..............
As you can see the battery has swollen. It has been kept regularly charged and under my car seat.
Took it back to itechworld their comments :
No, don't use it.
They can replace the battery but a new one is about the same price.
No warranty, no offer of a discount on a new one just blunt - buy a new one nothing else on offer by way of assistance.
Obviously won't buy anything more from them given this and other issues, poor service (previous enquiries that went unanswered). I know two other people who have had the itech packs fail to operate.
I do wonder how dangerous a battery in this state could be!
BUYERS BEWARE this company is only interested in taking your money and once they have it you’re on your own.
MANAGEMENT Hides behind employees who are clearly embarrassed.
SERVICE département Inefficient & Incompetent.
AFTER SALES Service Nonexistent.
How temperature affects your battery
iPad is designed to perform well in a wide range of ambient temperatures, ideally 16°C to 22°C (62°F to 72°F).
Avoid using or charging your iPad in ambient temperatures higher than 35°C (95°F), which can reduce battery lifespan permanently.
When using your iPad in a very cold environment, you may notice a decrease in battery life or that your device stops charging. This condition is temporary; when the battery’s temperature returns to its normal operating range, its performance will return to normal.
Software may limit charging above 80 per cent when the recommended battery temperatures are exceeded.

Just tested and it will power the acer laptop with a USB C cable to the recently found USB C input next to the power connection.
The JS80 came with a double ended USB C cable on its charger which has two USB outputs..

Adorable Canadian people, excellent Canadian coffee.

These are some bowling pins that were signed by a handful of the best bowlers in the world. They will be bowling in this weeks Masters tournament in Milwaukee.
You can check them out at www.bowl.com/tournaments/usbc/masters/main.aspx
They were bowling in a charity event at www.classiclanes.net
Some of the participants where:
Danny Wiseman (last years champion), Liz Johnson, Randy Peterson, Del Ballard, Carylyn Dorin-Ballard, Diandra Asbaty, Bob Learn Jr and Brian Kretzer
The snowflakes were flying as I reported to the bowling alley early this morning to help set up and work the bowling tournament. I have not had the chance to get a shot of the neon sign and an empty parking lot so this was a great opportunity to capture the image at Wonderland.
Today was the first rounds of the United States barista Championship (crazy, I know) in Seattle. Pictured here is John Hornall of Hine's Public Market Coffee. I'll be snapping more pics from the event as the weekend unfolds.
Another excellent coffee. They had a great exhibit at the SCAA Show in Anaheim. Awesome Canadian coffee and people.
Sidenote: I had the opportunity to visit the Forty Ninth Parallel Coffee Shop in Vancouver last February. Beautiful shop with amazing coffee, in one of the most beautiful cities (and countries) in the world, a perfect combination.
I sincerely can't wait to go back.
First and foremost, coffee from Aida Batlle in El Salvador:
Around the office, we keep talking about Aida's ability to see the future, as she must have known that Katie was going to win the USBC this year when she invited her down to El Salvador. Since Katie was there and my visit just before Katie, we have been working on a insane amount of projects. Here are the things you will likely see and hear about in the next few months.
Finca Los Alpes
Last year was the first time ever we were able to buy coffee from Finca Los Alpes, and this year we are really excited to be bringing in a tiny amount again. This coffee is actually being air-freighted in as I write this, as it is a coffee we are working with for Katie for the World Barista Competition. The good news is we air-freighted in 500 lbs, so there will likely be some to sell in early June, as well.
Finca Mauritania Traditional Fermentation
This year, like we have for the last 8 years, we will carry Aida's Finca Mauritania. The quality this year excellent, but unfortunately the quantity is very low. (We have less than 1/2 the amount of volume we have last year.) What this means is that this coffee will likely only last for a few months in our offering list. The price of this coffee is also going to be a bit higher this year. This is not based on the volume of this coffee (although that in itself would be a good reason), but more-so we feel that this coffee and all of Aida's coffees are top-notch, and we should reward the amount of work that goes into making them. We hope to rollout Finca Mauritania by the first week of July.
Finca Mauritania Single-Origin Espresso (SOE)
Again this year we bought Finca Mauritania Pulped Natural for the sole purpose of using as an SOE. Because of the low volume though, this might be a very short-lived espresso. Availability is projected in early August.
Finca Kilimanjaro, Finca Tanzania
Last year we became the first roaster to feature coffee from all four of Aida's farms, and this year we will continue that trend. We bought Finca Tanzania Pacamara, Finca Tanzania Yellow Bourbon, and Finca Kilimanjaro. What we end up doing with these coffees – they represent just a few hundred pound each – is anyone's guess right now, but they are all fantastic!
The experimentation extravaganza. This year we also worked with Aida on a dozen or more experiments for the sole purpose of education. We have coffee from one day lot that was dried 3 different ways. We have several fermentation experiments: Ethiopia, Kenya, Sumatra, and a few others. We have coffee that was separated by ripeness, from pure green to overripe. And, of course the classics: Natural Sundried, Pulp Natural, and washed. In total, we have more lots than ever that we will likely use for a number of different classes and education pieces. Keep your eyes peeled for events that focus on these coffees.
Cascara
I get more questions about Cascara than any other product, and, yes, we will have it again this year, likely around mid-July.
Last but not least, we also bought coffee through Aida's Selection project of working with other farms, including the Finca Majahual Pacamara again. We look forward to featuring that coffee, likely in August, as well.
