Today's guest has been participating in the greater beekeeping conversation for many years with his comic, Bee-ing Apis. When I asked him to join me on the show I pointed out that “we the beekeepers” didn't really know much about him and yet his work was, at least for me, a staple in our beekeeping content consumption.  Bee-ing Apis, in his own words, is a comic about beekeeping, with a strange sense of humor, bad puns, wordplay, dad jokes, and the occasional cerebral challenge. He is clever, quirky, humble, and has generously shared his comics with us since 2015. You can get an array of Rob's designs at beeingapis.threadless.com He also has an author page at lulu.com where you can get the official Bee-ing apis desk calendar and a book featuring his work from 2015-2016. Bee sure to follow Bee-ing Apis on Facebook and Instagram.   Check out our website at www.beekeeperconfidential.com! You can also find Beekeeper Confidential on Facebook and Instagram.

This week Sam and I are on with Rob Hull, a friend of ours who works in Law Enforcement. We sit down, and discuss how training impacts us from a civilian, military, and LE mindset. The ups, the downs, the in-betweens, we hit on a lot of the big issues in modern training, as well as how it most commonly impacts our daily lives.

In the age of urgency, traditional ways of planning have become more of a burden than a blessing. Digital transformation, aided by the disruptive forces of cloud computing, has rendered obsolete the static plan-execute-repeat model of annual planning, budgeting, and forecasting. In its place has emerged a more continuous, comprehensive, and collaborative approach that allows organizations to course-correct quickly to respond to market shocks, competitive moves, and even disasters. Rob Hull, founder of Adaptive Insights (now Workday Adaptive Planning), was a recent guest on the Workday Podcast to share his thoughts on how the need for agility is changing the way businesses plan.

What’s the best new or used electric car on the market, would buying your insurance on the day you need it drive up the price, and does London’s diesel-crunching ULEZ make sense? Those are the questions and more on this motoring special edition of the This is Money Podcast. On it, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert are joined by deputy motoring editor Rob Hull to talk cars and money. First up, is our exclusive on how insurers are sneakily pushing up prices for those who buy cover close to when they need it - bad news if you want to choose and buy a car and then drive it away. The team also look at attempts to crack down on older petrol and diesel cars, such as London’s ULEZ – soon to be extended all the way out to the North and South Circular – and ask whether the crop of electric car alternatives available now are enough to tempt people en-masse. Simon argues that one of the key problems is not how good new electric cars are (albeit they are now pretty good) but the issue of buying second hand and the limited choice and consumer concerns. Meanwhile, Rob says that although a brand new electric car may be tempting to those committed to greener motoring, many buyers are likely to sit on their hands expecting a better choice of longer range vehicles to arrive soon. One of those won’t carry a Golf badge, as VW is ditching its trusty model name for its new ID range of electric cars. But before they arrive a new Golf will. The Golf is a car that has long set the benchmark for family hatchbacks, so with the wraps coming off the next eighth generation one what can we expect inside, outside, and - all importantly nowadays - in terms of tech?

Established banks, challengers, fintech firms and payments providers – they all have one thing in common: none of them are immune to IT problems, glitches, hacks, meltdowns or customer service failures. Yet the momentum towards going cashless shows no signs of slowing down - but is Britain ready for it? In this week's podcast, assistant editor Lee Boyce along with host Georgie Frost talk about the future of payments. Elsewhere, we reveal what went 'wronga' at Wonga and why Lloyds Bank is now recording all product openings in branch. We also discuss the potential Aston Martin float, which could value the firm at £5billion. Lastly, motoring editor Rob Hull talks about two car brands from different ends of the spectrum – Ferrari versus Lada. A 250 GTO sold for a record auction price recently while a Lada could sell for £75,000 – yes, a Lada. Could it be a miracle?

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Thursday 5th July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   BLOGGER QUESTIONS TESLA SAFETY I've stayed away from this story because it's largely a non-story but Elon Musk got involved today so just a quick mention. Background: some blogger on the internet says they have proof Tesla are skipping brake tests, ergo safety is compromised, it's the end of the world. By the way, in this country I don't know about where you live, if I libel a company they have every right to sue me. If someone is going to question something as fundamental as safety you'd hope they have their facts straight. Lo and behold, over the next 24 hours, news outlets large and small start to quote this blogger and the story snowballs. Tesla spokesperson Dave Arnold pointed out that this particular test was made redundant because the company drives every Model 3 on its test track. Part of that test is not only brakes but also alignment and to ensure the car is safe and ready for delivery. It's the way the Model S and Model X are made, and this other test was only added because the Model 3 was a new line. I'd use the phrase 'belt and braces' - in other words they were double checking their work and now that's been verified as fine, they can use the normal test track brake tests. Tesla said "Every car we build goes through rigorous quality checks and must meet exacting specifications, including brake test. There are no exceptions." Elon speculated today that the original internet commentator, who has form in writing negative articles about Tesla, might have other intentions rather than investigative journalism. Ultimately, nobody ever built a statue of an art critic, but always the artist. Elon is busy changing the world with incredible products and I'm surprised people can write for an organisation and say whatever they want. Like I say, here I would be sued and any company I was working for could be liable to a financial penalty too unless it was fair comment or true.   TESLA COULD JOIN V2G PARTY Nissan seem to single-handedly moving towards Vehicle To Grid (V2G) technology. In Japan it has been an option for a while even though Nissan made a big deal about it on the new 40kWh LEAF, earlier models have been capable, but only Japanese Utility Companies made use of it. But now Tesla could join the. A twitter user Cody Walker asked Elon about it and he replied: "Very early on, we had the ability to use the car as a battery outputting power. Maybe worth revisiting that." I'd said in the past my first thought it always those who are grandfathered onto free lifetime supercharging. How could you stop people charging a a 100kWh battery for free and then using it to run your house for free? If it could be solved somehow that would be the first hurdle to overcome. Simon at Teslarati has more background from 2016 which I didn't know: ""Ben Hill, Tesla’s vice president for energy in Europe and Africa back in 2016, for one, mentioned that vehicle-to-grid systems would be introduced and be functional “very, very soon,” according to an Inverse report. According to Hill then, V2G technology is quite promising, though it still needs some fine-tuning." We know from the crowdsourced studies of Model S owners that the 18650 cells using in the Model S batteries are holding up well to degradation, which might give people more confidence, because charging and discharging to run your house would put your car battery through more life cycles. And from a grid point of view, storing energy to use at peak times or storing energy when renewables are at their peak not only reinforces the power grid, it actually helps lower prices overall. And it cleans up the grid too.   YOU CAN NOW CONFIGURE A POLESTAR 1 net reports that: "We’re still a way away from the Polestar 1 – the first production car from Volvo’s standalone brand – actually going in to production in China, but things are moving forward for Polestar’s first car. The Polestar 1, a 600hp plug-in hybrid coupe, is heading for the Goodwood Festival of Speed next week for its dynamic debut, when we’ll get some idea how the combination of a pair of electric motors at the back and a boosted 2.0 litre petrol at the front performs." And that's another bit of awesome news I never knew because I'll be at Goodwood on Friday 13th July. "Polestar has put a configurator for the car live on their site, although it’s not the most comprehensive we’ve seen. You can choose from a total of six exterior colours, a trio of alloys, chrome or black brightwork and an interior in black with either charcoal or zinc seats. And that’s about it. Whatever you opt for, Polestar will then tell you it’s a great spec and invite you fill in your details and divvy up a €2,500 deposit to secure a pre-order" according to CarsUK, I'll put a full link in the show notes.   http://www.carsuk.net/polestar-1-configurator-goes-live-ahead-of-dynamic-debut/   BATTERY SWAPS COULD COME BACK Back in the day Elon and Tesla once thought battery swaps were the future. So much so the Model S was designed for it, service centres were equipped for it, and nobody ever did it. And that's awesome because they tried it but it wasn't used. Better that than not try something because you don't want to ever be wrong. Well now maybe that wasn't a crazy idea because the Chinese are giving it a go. "Beijing Electric Vehicle Co., the Chinese electric-car maker preparing for a stock-market listing, is starting a battery-swap service to reduce customers’ range anxiety and keep up with similar offerings from rivals." reports Bloomberg: "The company will sell a version of its EV300 compact car for 79,800 yuan ($12,000) that allows users to change battery as often as they want for a monthly fee of 432 yuan, Zheng Gang, general manager of BJEV, as the unit of BAIC Group is known, said on the outskirts of Beijing on Thursday. BJEV plans to set up 100 battery-swap stations in Beijing this year, and one change operation lasts 2 minutes and 46 seconds, according to the company. As part of the new program, BJEV gives users an option to sell their car back at half of the original price within three years."   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-05/china-s-top-ev-maker-starts-battery-swap-service-to-lure-users   BRITS LOVE KOREAN CARS "Britons buy more South Korean cars than any other European country, new figures have revealed." reports Rob Hull for This Is Money: "The 190,215 South Korean cars bought by Britons last year accounted for almost one in 13 (7.5 per cent) new models registered in 2017. And with the Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro EV's on sale by the end of the year they know they will sell as many as they can make.   http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-5917187/Britons-buying-Korean-cars-drivers-Europe.html   BRITISH GOLFER BAGS BMW I8 ROADSTER AFTER HOLE-IN-ONE And Sam Burnett at Motor1 has an awesome story of a one lucky golfer. "For most golfers, a hole-in-one would be enough excitement to last for a little while, but 23-year-old Aaron Rai managed to bag himself a BMW i8 Roadster as well when he sank the ball first time out on the 16th hole at the BMW International Open in Germany last week." You often see these things, like a car on offer for a hole in one. I've organised something similar and these things are sometimes what is called an insured prize. You put up a $100k car and pay an insurance company something like $5k, after they assess the risk of the hole in one. The car isn't won, you're covered and you write off that $5k in marketing exposure. Unless of course someone does win! "The firm’s hole-in-one award seems to have been a dangerous promise for the company to have made – this is the fourth car the Munich-based carmaker has given away since starting its sponsorship of the event back in 2012."   https://uk.motor1.com/news/251178/golfer-wins-bmw-i8/   LONDON'S FAMOUS BLACK CABS HEAD TO BERLIN "London's iconic black cab could soon be plying for fares on the streets of Berlin. The London Electric Vehicle Company, which is Chinese-owned, was set to unveil its plug-in hybrid TX model at an event in the German capital on Thursday." according to the London Evening Standard Newspaper: "Today’s German launch marks six months since the emissions-free TX was launched in Britain after being certified by Transport for London’s test centre."     COMMUNITY YouTube Comments   You can listen to all previous 169 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

In this excerpt from the This is Money Podcast, Simon Lambert, Rob Hull and Georgie Frost discuss how new car buyers can get the best deal from the car scrappage schemes being offered by dealers. The This is Money Podcast brings you everything you need to know about money each week, in partnership with NS&I

Car scrappage schemes are back. After waiting in vain for the government to launch an official scrappage scheme to get dirty diesels off the road, car makers have taken matters into their own hands. But is this an altruistic move to help replace more polluting cars with greener ones, or are they just trying to flog more cars? These new scrappage schemes have coincided with falling sales of new cars, so you could be forgiven for being cynical, which if we’re going to be honest is exactly what This is Money editor Simon Lambert and deputy motoring editor Rob Hull are. But there’s another important question to tackle, are these scrappage schemes a good deal? Simon, Rob and host Georgie Frost take a deep dive into them – and the murky world of cars sales and finance. What you probably won’t be buying if you take advantage of a scrappage scheme is an electric car – but wait a few years and your next one could be. There’s been a string of news on this and in a show that goes more than a little electric we take a look at what the future holds. Will it be Nissan’s new £20,000 Leaf that wins out, Jaguar’s plan to offer every model with an electric or hybrid version, or could it even be a Dyson car that storms the market? If you’d prefer to go a bit off the beaten track and electric motorbike with a detachable battery you can charge in your office might even be the answer. Rob spent a week with a Super Soco to test out that theory and reports back here. And what about your house? This week we told the story of Darren Widdowson, from Northamptonshire, who decided to try generating his own electricity with solar panels and a battery storage unit from Ikea. He now pays just £4.50 every month for electricity to power his home and electric car. Also on this week’s show we look at the case where This is Money’s Tanya Jefferies won £7,000 back from HMRC for a couple who paid to bump up their state pension and then discovered that wasn’t possible and we ask if Neil Woodford, once one of the best performing fund managers in the UK, has lost the Midas touch. And finally, would giving your house a nice name add to its value – and exactly what are the rules on this? We explain what you need to do if you fancy calling your home Trevor, Nigel, or Dunroamin.

Rob Hull, Founder and Chairman of Adaptive Insights, shares in-depth insights on how he raised $4.5 million to get the company off the ground, as well as what he would do differently today.

  Rob Hull                   If you or someone you love is new to Photography, and wants to take great photographs, today's conversation on The PhotoTellers is for you! Photographer and Author Rob Hull has written the book on the subject. Rob joins the show today to talk about his own history in Photography--from his first experience in the 8th grade, to a career at IBM & publishing, then to teaching Photography at a local college. How did all of those elements combine to create this book? That's what you'll learn. You'll also hear about his relationship with the illustrious Tony Corbell. They're doing some pretty exciting work together, traveling the world to train Photographers in all ilks of the craft. Be certain that you CLICK HERE to see where they'll be, and also sign up for the weekly educational blog. If you've missed my previous conversations with Tony, here's a link to one of them: http://firesidenetwork.com/this-photographer-discovered-a-secret-hidden-within-the-original-american-flag/ Is Rob's book written for the seasoned pro? Is it appropriate for your/your friends' skill level? The following excerpt from the conversation explains: BILL: Who should read this book? ROB: This book is really targeted for the beginner, or if you know somebody who may have been photographing for a little while. It's certainly not for the pro-market. It covers all of the camera controls up to [excluding] Manual. We talk about Manual, but we don't get into a lot of the metering techniques and all that for Manual photography. So if you want to understand all of the automated settings in your camera, it helps people understand what happens when they change a different setting. That could be in like Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, things like that. But then a lot of our cameras that also have specialty modes like Sport Mode . . . Beach Mode, and stuff like that. What this book does a very good job of doing is helping you understand exactly what your camera is doing, and how does it determine the exposures for those different settings? Because the more somebody understands what's happening when they set those controls, the more they're going to know what the cameras strengths and weaknesses are. A camera can't do everything, but people need to understand and be able to figure out: "When is the camera to be able to handle this well, and when do I have to take over and do something else?"
