Q: how to maintain history state by using react-router-dom among components? I have a use case in which i use useHistory hook to redirect and pass state between components.
/* first component */

const {useHistory} from 'react-router-dom';
const history = useHistory();
history.push({pathname: '/next',course: 'some value'});

/* second component */

const location = useLocation();
const value = location.course; /* return 'some value' */
history.push('/nextroute') /* redirects to the third component */

Now the problem occurs when i press go back button from the browser, the location state gets undefined. Now i have views in which i have to use 'history' to redirect and pass state to components. how can i maintain that state when i press the back button on the browser or when ever a page refresh happens. Also what other effect way is there to pass state for this specific use case.

A: If I understand correctly I think you are getting undefined because react router is overriding your course value.
Push your course value to the location.state instead of the location itself eg:
history.push({
  pathname: '/next',
  state: {
    course: 'some value'
  }
});

then you can access it in your next component with history.location.state.course;
You may be getting undefined because your are trying to go back to the first form and haven't yet set a state for that route yet.  You will first need to replace the state and then push to the new form like so:
// replace the current routes state
history.replace({
  pathname: "/",
  state: {
    courses: 'your stuff'
  }
});

//then push this state to your next route for use there
history.push({
  pathname: "/next",
  state: {
    courses: 'your stuff'
  }
});

Here is a simple example Codesandbox Example.
Note: if you want a state object that will be specific to each route then use the location state to store your data.  If you have general state that will change and is not bound to a specific route I would use React Context instead.
Here is an example of that in action CodeSandbox With Context Example
Hope it helps.

Crafting the Future the MAD Way
Focus on New York
Can craft change the world? MAD, New York, explores the innovation behind 21st century crafts, framing craft as an agent of change and political activism
Scroll right to read more ›
Text by Lara Chapman
What is the future of craft? This question has been keeping the curators and visitors of MAD (Museum of Art and Design), New York, occupied for the past five years. Their investigation into the materiality and practice of craft in the 21st Century has culminated in two exhibitions currently on display at the museum—The Burke Prize 2018 and MAD Collects: The Future of Craft. The two exhibitions are a testament to the multidisciplinary and innovative ways that artists and designers are engaging with age-old craft practices and giving them a new life for today's complex world.
Chief Curator of MAD Shannon R. Stratton describes the museum's fascination with craft. She states: "Craft—as a term and as a field—is very complex, and predicting what its future holds is an ambitious endeavor, yet it is clear that craft is alive and well."
Furthermore, Stratton emphasizes the agency of craft as an instrument for change: "Those of us close to the craft world know its historical connection to activism and politics, but in the current political climate, a new generation is reclaiming it. The power of craft as a tool of protest, storytelling, and connection will only continue to grow."
This political aspect of craft is evident in The Burke Art Prize 2018 which invited young practitioners (under 45) to submit works that advance the disciplines of the American studio craft movement. This exhibition marks the inaugural prize which was named after Marian and Russell Burke, two passionate collectors of craft and longtime supporters of MAD.
The emergent voices finalists exhibiting their work utilize traditional materials such as glass, textiles, clay, metal and wood as well as digital media to explore complex and urgent topics such as the bi-national identities along the border of the USA and Mexico to the fragility to the relationship between queerness and religion to the and mortality of the human body.
Cannupa Hanska Luger, The overall winner of the prize, is an example of an artist on display who uses craft to delve into the complex problems of today's world. The ceramic pieces focus on issues facing indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada. Through community-based projects, Lurger brings attention to casts of violence against indigenous community members.
The sixteen finalists from ten states across America were selected by the jurors and a total of 36 works are on display. Among these works are other pieces dealing with excluded groups of society, including the work of Roberto Lugo. His ceramics mix graffiti and portraiture to depict people of color onto traditional pottery forms thereby subverting the archetypes of the medium and bringing attention to obscured and erased histories. Likewise, Olivia Valentine uses a traditional medium as a tool for investigation. She produces large-scale lace installations that examine the threshold in relation to architecture and the body. Whilst William J. O'Brien zooms into his personal experience of his Catholic upbringing and queer identity to explore the tension between religion and spirituality in the mixed-media of felt and ceramics.
In connection to the Burke Prize is the exhibition MAD Collects: The Future of Craft which shows the culmination of a five-year collection program that began in 2016. On display are the works of over 45 artists who are expanding and sustaining the notion of craft. In MAD's new collection are works by a diversity of practitioners in both their themes and identities including Derrick Adams, El Anatsui, David Bielander, Sanford Biggers, Wendell Castle, Judy Chicago, Josh Faught, David R. Harper, Sana Musasama, Bayne Peterson, Verena Sieber-Fuchs, Barb Smith, Cauleen Smith, Adejoke Tugbiyele, and Dorian Zachai.
Through both traditional and radical approaches to materiality, making the artists in the two exhibitions hint at the future of craft which deals with a diversity of urgent, philosophical and complex subject matter. Craft is an agent of change and a tool for disruption in the 21st century.
'The Burke Prize 2018' will be on display until March 17 and 'MAD Collects: The Future of Craft' until March 31. On February 13 MAD will also host a panel discussion entitled 'Contemporary Craft: Resistance and Protest'.

A stupid pity party, so cornily written that I've never met one person who talked like these cardboard characters. The ending was so ludicrous, no spoilers, that I actually did not finish reading it. Just rushed to the end so I could warn anybody foolish enough to read this amateurish, poorly edited excuse for a book to save their money. Whatever the people were paid who wrote those 5 star reviews must have been a lot - but at least they were spared having to actually read it.


Many members of the entertainment and music communities have reached out to support Demi Lovato as she struggles with a recent drug overdose in the last few days. With so many fellow artists and entertainers sending their love, Kelly Rowland appears to have taken her Demi love a step further. Some may only have the means to send their well wishes on social media but the Destiny's Child singer proved her friendship with the former Disney star by inking one of Demi's most recognizable tattoos on her hand. Recreating the massive lion tatted on the "Heart Attack" artist's hand, Rowland decided to show love to the star with a temporary version on her own body.
Taking to her Instagram story, Kelly noted that Demi was on her mind, getting the lion piece sketched out and placed on her own hand. A touching display of love and support, Rowland and Lovato have been friends since their work together on the X Factor. Remaining close since filming, Kelly clearly has a lot of love for Lovato, proving that her heart weighs heavy after a scary hospitalization earlier in the week.
Kelly's act is the latest in a string of celebrities wishing well for the troubled star. Drug addiction is a difficult disease to overcome but Demi has proven to be capable of pulling through in the past. We're praying for her to get well soon.

Objective. To assess whether hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) prevents early damage in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods. We updated an existing systematic review of literature on clinical effects of HCQ in patients with SLE. We conducted a nested case-control study embedded in an inception cohort of patients with SLE. Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Damage Index (SDI) at 3 years was considered as our primary outcome. Patients with SDI > 0 at 3 years were considered cases and patients with SDI = 0 were controls. Cases and controls were first compared by univariate analysis. Then conditional logistic regression models adjusting for potential confounders were done to study the effect of HCQ on damage accrual.
Results. Included in the analysis were 481 patients who had 3 or more years of followup. Out of this cohort, we could match 151 cases with 151 controls. Univariate analysis identified age, the use of any immunosuppressive drugs, HCQ, and cumulative dose of steroids as significant covariates associated with damage accrual. In multivariate analysis, the use of HCQ remained significantly associated with less damage (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.132–0.867), while age (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.027–1.078) and a variable combining SLE activity and steroid dose (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.306–2.295) were associated with damage at 3 years.
Conclusion. We demonstrated that HCQ use was associated with less damage at 3 years after diagnosis of SLE when attention was given and adjustment done for disease activity and steroid dose, duration of disease, and calendar year of diagnosis.

I am a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and pioneer in minimally invasive total hip replacement surgery. I am a founder of Princeton Orthopedics, P.C. and a graduate of Clark Atlanta University and the University of Alabama (UAB) School of Medicine, where I received the Orthopedic Trauma Fellowship. My career spans more than 20 years of practice in Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala.
I specialize in orthopedic trauma, sports medicine and total joint replacement. My specialty is the innovative anterior approach to hip replacement, which allows for a faster recovery and a patient being able to return more quickly to daily activities. The patient is the center of my approach to practicing medicine, and my goal is to help patients get and stay healthy by addressing the needs of the person and not simply the illness.
I strive to lead a balanced lifestyle by incorporating exercise, time spent with my family and various community activities. I have served on the boards of directors for the YMCA and M-Power Ministries, a faith-based organization that provides health care for the indigent. Photography is a hobby that I am currently exploring simply because it allows me to see the world differently and to look back at what I have seen.


We have problem with binary mode transfer. It works OK for me, but not for my colleague. We have the same version (5.11.2) and I have not found any transfer related differences neither in settings nor in registry.
If my colleague transfers a file in binary mode, some bytes are replaced (f.e. from Unix to Windows each FD is replaced by AC, each FC by 87 etc.).
It seems that some codepage conversion takes a place, though I do not expect any conversion in binary mode.
Does anybody have an advice where can be the cause an how to fix it?
Please attach a full session log file both from your and colleague's machine (using the latest version of WinSCP).
First of all, sorry for delay. I had marked "notify me when a replay is posted", but I received no mail (maybe it fell into the spam).
Today another colleague find the same problem and also find the cause: the cause is not directly in WinSCP, but in the operating system. People who have the problem connect to Unix via another port and there is a modificated OpenSSH daemon bound to that port which contains among others also a character conversion. So sorry again - for disturbing.

🌵 Why legal tech companies are flocking to Utah and Arizona
Move over Silicon Valley. The real home for legal tech is...Arizona? Maybe!
New laws there as well as in Utah, have made it easier for companies owned or partially owned by non-lawyers to have a greater role in the legal space in these two states. And according to Legaltech News, several companies are ready to test the market.
Utah started a pilot program for parties that want to test the new regulations: Five companies have already signed up, including Rocket Lawyer, a well-known startup that has received nearly $50 million in funding. The others include LawPal, which intends to bring a TurboTax-style service to divorce, debt and eviction cases, and 1Law, a provider of legal services through chatbots, instant messaging and other techniques.
These companies won't be the last: Legal analysts expect many entities to test the waters in Arizona and Utah. Some will be technology-related and others will be more traditional firms that have an unorthodox ownership structure that features nonlawyers.
Why Arizona and Utah wanted to allow these changes
The goal is to increase access to justice. Whether that will occur is unknown, as many experts believe the change in law will benefit businesses more than people.
But former LegalZoom GC Chas Rampenthal said he believes Arizona's and Utah's new regulations will provide a better system for consumers to more readily engage with the legal system.
It won't just be lawyers, investors and company executives watching what happens in Arizona and Utah; lawmakers will, too. And if California or New York adopts similar regulations, drastic changes could be headed for the legal market.

RIP Chetan Chauhan
Former Indian cricketer and Uttar Pradesh government minister Chetan Chauhan died on Sunday from complications from Covid-19. Chauhan is the second minister of Uttar Pradesh after Kamal Rani Varun, who held the technical education portfolio, who succumbed to Covid-19.
A flamboyant cricketer and Sunil Gavaskar's oldest opening partner in the 1970s, Chauhan represented India in 40 attempts and served the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) in various capacities; President, Vice President President , secretary and head of selection.
His career statistics (40 rounds with 2,084 points and a high score of 97 against Australia in Adelaide with an average average of 31.57) were quite disappointing for a first game.
The most irritating aspect was the lack of a triple digit score. Chauhan ranks alongside Shane Warne on the list of most points scored without a century.
He also played seven ODIs. Chauhan was the first player in testing history to score more than 2,000 points without a penny.
He was a career top scorer in national cricket. In international cricket he had earned a reputation as an intrepid fighter.
One of the most memorable moments of his cricket career was the 213-runs post he wrote with Gavaskar in The Oval in 1979, breaking the era record for Vijay's most open window association, Merchant and Mushtaq Ali, who put up 203 runs at Old Trafford in 1936. Chauhan contributed 80 runs.
After leaving the game in the mid-1980s, he turned to politics and was twice elected Member of Parliament by Almorah in Uttar Pradesh on a BJP ticket.
Before his stint in politics, he was named head coach of the Indian team, in their historic 2-1 win over Australia at home in 2001 and then on their bitter 2007-08 tour of Down Under.
Chauhan was in the eye of a storm after being appointed president of the National Institute of Fashion Technology in June 2016, and political parties and fashion designers questioned the government's decision.
However, he only held the position for a year and was replaced after being appointed Minister of Sports in the government of Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh.

Most higher education courses require certain A level grades (or alternative equivalent qualifications), and many specify the A level subjects and GCSE subjects that you should have. Think ahead to what you will be doing after A levels to help you choose the best subjects now. If you are not sure what career you will enter, try to choose a selection of subjects that will keep your options as open as possible.
Some A levels cover common ground, for example, for example, geography and environmental science, or economics and business studies. If the overlap is too great, some higher education institutions may not accept the combination. On the other hand, two complementary subjects may help a great deal in your studies. For example, doing physics without mathematics or another science would be difficult and is not generally recommended.
These subjects are called 'facilitating' because choosing them at advanced level leaves open a wide range of options for university study.
Facilitating subjects include maths and further maths, physics, biology, chemistry, history, geography, modern and classical languages and English literature.
So you see there is a lot to think about. Do your research and choose wisely.

Levet Cleared of Infraction
TROON, Scotland -- Thomas Levet escaped a two-shot penalty Friday in the British Open when marshals moved railings along the first fairway without authorization.
Levet, a co-leader after the first round, hooked his opening tee shot next to an ice cream stand, and referee Andy Yamanaki of the Japanese tour gave him relief. Levet was still blocked by two sets of railings to keep the gallery from the fairway, and those railings are deemed immovable obstructions.
Yamanaki went to help Matthew Goggin, who needed a separate ruling. While he was away, marshals took down the railings that had been in Levet's line.
'That wasn't known both by Levet and the referee,' said Royal & Ancient rules secretary David Rickman. 'It was agreed it was a misunderstanding and there will be no penalty.'
Levet would have been penalized if he had been involved in moving the railing.

Shipping needs global legislation not unilateral measures
Spyros Polemis
Balancing environmental aspirations with economic realities, but also with political realities is not easy, ICS Chairman Spyros M Polemis told delegates at the influential CMA Conference in Connecticut earlier on. In a speech entitled "Balancing Environmental Aspirations With Economic Realities, " Mr. Polemis highlighted the danger of aspirational legislation stressing that shipping is a global industry requiring global rules and urge legislators to ensure their proposed environmental legislation is compatible with technical and economic realities
Urging US States not to implement their own rules, Mr Polemis pointed out that: "If major trading nations such as the US adopt rules that are at variance to those agreed by governments at IMO we have chaos and if individual US States decide to implement their own rules in conflict with Federal requirements, it is even worse – we actually run the risk of double chaos." In particular, Mr Polemis highlighted the issues of ballast water management and sulphur emissions – pointing out the need to ensure enough low sulphur fuel is available to enable the international shipping community to meet low emissions requirements and the need to establish that equipment actually exists to meet ballast water treatment standards. He also referred to industry concerns that Market Based Measures may be seen by some governments as fund-raising opportunities with the shipping industry viewed as a "cash cow" by some. He conclude that shipping should be treated like a sovereign state in its own right: "A ship may be flagged in one country, and owned in another, while the cargo carried will be of economic benefit to a variety of different importing and exporting nations. This is why we need to maintain a special global regime for shipping, " he said.
The following is his full address:
Balancing Environmental Aspirations with Economic Realities
The reduction of CO2 emissions is certainly one of the most politically and economically complex subjects, but I will return to this in more detail in a moment. The need to protect the environment however goes far beyond global warming, and I will first make some general remarks about some of the other difficulties that we face, and as an example, we will focus on the difficulties we face in the United States. The ultimate goal of the shipping industry is simple: zero accidents, zero loss of life and zero pollution. In view of the huge liabilities involved for non-compliance this is a matter of enlightened self-interest. Particularly when speaking in the United States, it is always important to stress that we are a global industry requiring global rules. If major trading nations such as the US adopt rules that are at variance to those agreed by governments at IMO we have chaos; and if individual US States decide to implement their own rules in conflict with Federal requirements, it is even worse, we actually run the risk of double chaos.
Right now we face a particular challenge with ballast water, with some individual States talking about treatment standards 100 times more stringent than what has been agreed at IMO and for which the equipment required simply does not exist. Then it is California, and their unilateral air pollution rules, which are still subject to legal challenge by the industry, although following the entry into force of the IMO MARPOL requirements on sulphur emissions from ships, the temptation for individual States to develop their own environmental rules will hopefully diminish. As a general remark, however, I have to say that we have been disappointed by the apparent reluctance of the current US Administration to defend Federal regulations from infractions by US States. Unfortunately, with ballast water, the problem we have with some US States choosing to go their own way, has been compounded by the failure of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention to enter into force, although this should now be expected to happen within the next year or so. Also, regrettably, at a recent IMO meeting – under pressure from the United States, or more particularly the EPA – some major changes were proposed to some important draft guidelines on ballast water sampling that will be used by port state control inspectors and which could potentially be very damaging to shipowners if adopted by IMO. ICS made a strong statement at the end of the IMO meeting about the direction that had been taken and thus the draft guidelines will now be reconsidered. However, this now means that these sampling guidelines will not be approved until at least 2013, which in turn is expected to further delay the additional ratifications needed to bring the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention into force. This creates other problems for shipowners due to the fixed dates by which existing ships have to install the very expensive new treatment equipment required by the Convention. I mention this particular issue in order to highlight the danger of aspirational legislation. For reasons that are well understood, including the economic damage to the US economy from the unwanted influx of zebra mussels, there was huge political pressure for IMO to adopt the Convention back in 2004. But the equipment needed to comply with the new requirements, and the complex technical guidelines needed to ensure proper implementation, had not then been developed – which is why it is only now that governments are almost in a position to ratify. This is really a case of environmental aspirations being incompatible with some of the technical realities not to speak of economic ones. I mentioned previously the implementation by the United States of the new IMO low sulphur fuel requirements in the MARPOL Convention. This includes the establishment of an Emission Control Area , along the west and east coasts, in which ships will be required to burn fuel with a sulphur content of 1% this year, and just 0.1% in 2015. ICS has no objection in principle to this dramatic regulatory change which is consistent with the agreement reached at IMO three years ago, and which is being similarly implemented in Europe, in the Baltic and the North Sea. Also, despite the very high additional costs of needing to burn distillate instead of heavy fuel oil, the evidence about the effects of sulphur emissions on human health is difficult to argue against, and the IMO agreement was a reasonable compromise, which kept the regulation of ship's emissions within a global framework. However, the real concern that we have about the ECAs relates to fuel availability, and whether the oil refining industry can produce the large quantities of distillate needed by 2015. It is still unclear whether or not enough low sulphur fuel will be available for the US shipping industry, let alone the huge amount of international shipping that trades in and out of the US. I would add that if the extra costs to shipping are too high then there is also a danger of modal shift, with many short sea cargoes returning to the roads, with a negative environmental impact that might outweigh the benefits of ships switching to low sulphur fuel. There is certainly a growing concern about this in the Great Lakes and in Europe, although I emphasise that ICS remains committed to supporting the implementation of the IMO agreement unless governments formally decide to bring these concerns back to IMO. So ICS is trying to encourage IMO to bring forward a detailed study on fuel availability so that it might be completed before the 2015 implementation date for ECAs. We hope that we are wrong, but there is a possibility of a serious supply problem, something which seems not to have occurred to those who advocated such a relatively fast timetable for the switch.
This now brings me on to the challenge of reducing CO2 emissions. Since the membership of ICS comprises national shipowners' associations that deal directly with governments (as, in the US, the Chamber of Shipping of America), it is always important for us to be acutely aware of the political realities of climate change. At the international level these realities are perhaps a little different to those in US domestic politics. Whatever our views as individuals and citizens, it is not the place for the shipping industry to question the science of global warming, or the consensus within the international community that shipping, along with the rest of society, should play its part in reducing CO2 emissions. Last July, IMO concluded a ground breaking agreement on technical and operational measures to reduce shipping's CO2 which has the full support of the international industry. The reduction of emissions through reduced fuel consumption and increased efficiency is again a matter of enlightened self-interest, it is a given, and is fully compatible with the poor market conditions we are experiencing at the moment. But when we come to the debate about the so called Market Based Measures, it is important for us to be guarded and more nuanced. Shipping companies are rightly sceptical about the introduction of MBMs. The high cost of fuel, which looks set to increase further, means that shipowners already have every incentive to reduce their emissions even more. The Round Table associations agreement on GHG MBMs has recently made clear, that now is certainly not the time to impose additional costs on shipping that would appear to deliver little environmental benefit, even to those concerned about global warming. However, outside of the US, it is important to understand that many governments now see MBMs as a means of raising money from shipping as an end in itself, whether as a means of providing finance for climate change projects in developing nations – as part of the negotiations on a new global deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol – or simply as a means of raising money to go directly into government coffers. Many European governments are quite open about this and have suggested that as much as $40 billion a year might be raised from shipping. This is inequitable. ICS has made it clear that the industry should not be regarded as a cash cow, and that extracting payments of this scale would rightly be seen by developing nations as a tax on trade and as a kind of green protectionism. The fact remains however that the Green Fund has now been established by the United Nations and the UN will be considering sources of funding that are very likely to include shipping. ICS and the other Round Table associations have argued that in the event that governments decide that shipping should make a contribution to the Green Fund, any payments should be proportionate to the industry's contributions to total global emissions, and that the details of any mechanism should be agreed at IMO. However, the discussions are very complicated. Regardless of whether we want an MBM – and as the saying goes you can't expect turkeys to vote for Thanksgiving – if a Market Based Measure for shipping is developed by governments we have to be engaged in the process. Our principal objective must be to ensure that any measure adopted is applied on a global basis so that it does not distort competition, which means supporting IMO as the forum in which the discussion should continue. It would be unreasonable to expect IMO to make significant progress until the UNFCCC has clarified what role shipping might have in its 100 billion dollar Green Fund which is likely to take another year or so. But if the discussion is perceived to be too slow there is a danger that the EU will be encouraged to impose regional legislation. Talking about MBMs, it is not that we can perhaps take some comfort from the difficulties that the EU is currently experiencing with the European ETS and with the implementation of its Emissions Trading Scheme for aviation, and the hostility being displayed towards this by the likes of the US and China. Quite honestly, ETS is not suitable for shipping, it will distort competition it will enrich speculators and larger companies, and the money raised will not benefit the environment. There are possible parallels with the situation in the US. If Congress decides not to take action then the EPA will proceed to regulate shipping's CO2 anyway, as perhaps will several individual US States, although from our perspective, it clearly makes no sense to regulate for a global problem on a local basis. I would like to conclude by saying that in our discussions with regulators on environmental issues, and particularly with respect to CO2, the shipping industry, as I said in the beginning, should be treated like a sovereign state in its own right. After all we are frequently told that our CO2 emissions are the same as those of Germany, while the income generated from maritime transport annually is estimated to be in excess of a trillion dollars. There is a serious point here about shipping resembling a sovereign nation, in that emissions from shipping do not lend themselves to inclusion in national CO2 reductions targets. A ship may be flagged in one country, and owned in another, while the cargo carried will be of economic benefit to a variety of different importing and exporting nations. This is why we need to maintain a special global regime for shipping. But if nothing else, I have hopefully demonstrated how complex these issues are, and the importance of remaining engaged, even if they are unpalatable, and inimical, to our economic interests. And we have not even begun to scratch the surface. Balancing environmental aspirations with economic realities, but also with political realities is not easy. Thank you.
We look forward to your comments and your comments will lead to a debte scheduled for the end of this month.

How to Blanch & Peel Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts have a rich, sweet flavor that makes them popular for sweet treats such as pastries, cookies and spreads. If you plan on baking or cooking with hazelnuts, skip the pre-chopped or pre-sliced bags and purchase whole hazelnuts, which will have a fresher flavor. While you can purchase whole hazelnuts that have been shelled, you typically still have to contend with their pesky, papery skins, which are notoriously difficult to peel off. Blanching the hazelnuts is the most effective way to loosen the skins so that they peel away easily.
Fill a large pot with water, measuring how many cups of water you add to the pot. Bring to a boil.
For every cup of water in the pot, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the boiling water.
Pour the hazelnuts into the water and allow them to blanch for one minute.
Drain the water from the hazelnuts in a colander.
Run cool water over the hazelnuts in the colander and gently rub them with your fingers so that the skin starts to peel off. After you have peeled all the hazelnuts, they will be ready to eat or toast.

Another way to remove the skin after blanching is to place the hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and gently rub the skins off with the towel's edges.
Toast the blanched and peeled hazelnuts by placing then on a baking sheet and baking in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they are golden brown, about 7 to 15 minutes. Stir the hazelnuts frequently while they are toasting to prevent burning.

John Lodge's Winter US Tour Kicks Off
Felipe Andreoli, FORÇA DO BAIXO BRASILEIRO – Bass Musician Magazine, August 2016 Issue
Alberto Rigoni
Published on August 1, 2016
Bass Musician Magazine, 9th Anniversary Issue
Felipe Andreoli Interview for Bass Musician Magazine by Alberto Rigoni –
Photos: Paula Mordente
Hola Felipe, first of all thanks so much for this interview. I'm a big fan of yours since I started listening to Angra! How did you get started playing bass?
Thanks a lot! It's an honor to be featured on BMM! I started playing bass kind of by accident. I already played the acoustic guitar for about two years when my friends at school formed a band. There were going to be some spring festivities and they signed up to play a concert. Thing is, of course they didn't have a bass player, so they thought, "Well, if you can play the guitar, you can probably play the bass!" So I bought a bass for $80 and in two weeks we played the show, where I also became lead singer (by lack of a better choice). I've never looked back ever since, except for the singing part.
Who are some of your major influences?
It all started with Cliff Burton, but it progressed as I learned more about music and got to know about new bands and styles. Billy Sheehan is the biggest influence when it comes to rock, along with Geddy Lee, Chris Squire and Geezer Butler. Then I got heavily into fusion and found out about Jaco Pastorius, John Patitucci, Alain Caron, Gary Willis and Victor Wooten. But I also draw a lot of influence from drummers and guitar players such as Simon Phillips, Virgil Donati, Gary Novak, Brett Garsed, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, Steve Morse… The list goes on and on!

Which are your current bands?
For 15 years my main thing has been Angra, but I also play with an instrumental quartet called 4Action, Kiko Loureiro (now in Megadeth), a thrash metal band called One Arm Away and a couple of cover bands. One is the recently formed Yngwie Malmsteen Tribute band, and the other is called HeavyPop, where we spice up the great pop songs of the 80's and 90's. I also do a lot of freelance recording, clinics and some production work.
Tell us more about your experience with Angra
It's been quite a ride! I joined the band when I was 20, so I basically learned everything I know from these guys. With them I've recorded 5 studio albums, 1 EP and 2 DVDs, toured over 30 countries and took part in the biggest festivals around the globe. Last year we played the Rock in Rio, Wacken, Hellfest and Hell and Heaven Fest, to name a few.
We are now touring in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the album Holy Land, and we have around 18 dates in Europe in September/October. The rest of the time we'll be touring around Brazil.
You joined the Vivaldi Metal Project as special guest, what do you think about this project?
I think it's amazing! Apart from the music, which is really great, I'm really impressed with how organized everything must be to gather hundreds of musicians from around the globe in a single record! I look forward to hearing the final result; there is a lot of talent involved in this record. It's great that I've been invited. I love music and collaborating with other musicians.
Are you planning to make a solo album?
I'm in the process of writing it, but it hasn't been easy. For one, I find it very hard to write music by myself. Somehow it works out splendidly when I have a partner; ideas flow everywhere! When I'm alone it's a whole different story. Maybe it's something I have to overcome, but slowly I'm getting there. Also, it's been really hard to find the time to do it. Composing a bass record is for me a great responsibility, and it demands time and concentration, but there's so much going on right now that I haven't been able to make everything fit yet. Anyway, I plan to release it still this year or beginning of the next.
Tell us more about your technique. In particular, it seems you like the tapping 🙂
I do! In fact I like all kinds of technique, but tapping really seems to work in Angra. Maybe my most recognized technique is the three finger pizzicato, which really makes my life easier playing fast songs and intricate rhythmic patterns. I also love slapping, but that gets featured the most on instrumental music.
I try to be as open as possible to new approaches. I think it's great to have all these tools available as part of your vocabulary. When used wisely, any technique can work.
What current gear are you using?
A lot of stuff! Since last year I'm back to playing Ibanez basses, but this time officially. I'm using both the BTBs and SRs. Epifani amps (Piccolo 999 head and UL D.I.S.T 410 cabinets), D'Addario strings and cables, Seymour Duncan pickups, Gruv Gear accessories, effects by Boss (ES-8, SY-300, FV-30H, TU-3), Darkglass (Microtubes B7K, B3K, Supper Symmetry compressor), GNI (Bass Plus Felipe Andreoli signature preamp, chorus, compressor) and Eventide (H9 Max), Pedaltrain boards (Nano+, Novo 24 and 32) and power supplies, Xtreme Ears in-ear monitors, Capcase cases and Guitar Grip stands.
How do you manage the incredible fan base you gained in these years?
I try to stay close. It's so easy to do it nowadays that it's almost a crime not to. Especially with the Facebook Live tool, it has been a great way to close the gap that has always existed between artists and their fans. They can see you in a more real, honest way, and that creates a bigger empathy. The people who follow me on social media seem very grateful for any piece of information that I can pass along, and I try to do it often. It's easy to forget that having a solid career teaches you about a lot of stuff, and that information may be so trivial to you that you don't realize how much you could help other people who don't have the same experience. So I try to make people's lives easier by giving them tips and shortcuts, and they seem to really like it!
Do you have any suggestions for bass players and final thoughts?
The greatest asset of any musician is not technique or speed. It's relationship and professionalism. I've seen many cases where the guy that takes the gig is not necessarily the best player, but the one who can play for the music, has a great timing, a great tone, positive attitude, arrives on time, communicates well, etc. At the end of the day it's not about how many notes you can play, it's about how people feel around you.
Thanks again for this interview, you rock!
Thanks Alberto and BMM! My pleasure!

Preston's Guild Way flyover reopens 6 hours after crash - this is why it took so long
A major road between Preston and South Ribble has reopened six hours after it was closed following a crash during morning rush hour.

Morning traffic chaos in Penwortham after crash on Guild Way flyover into Preston
The crash brought the Guild Way flyover to a standstill at 7.20am and police promptly closed the road to allow fire and ambulance crews to work at the scene.
One person has been taken to Royal Preston Hospital for further treatment, but the ambulance service said their injuries are "not life-threatening".
The Guild Way flyover, taking traffic over the River Ribble between Penwortham and Preston, reopened at 1.30pm - six hours after the crash.
The crash on the Guild Way flyover between Penwortham and Preston led to a six-hour road closure, leading to scenes of traffic bedlam across South Ribble
You can read our full report on the crash here, and view our picture gallery showing the scenes of the traffic chaos it caused here.
These 17 pictures show Penwortham traffic chaos following rush hour crash
Why did it take so long to reopen?
Lancashire Police said the six-hour closure of the flyover was because of oil and fuel leaking from the damaged vehicles and spilling across the road surface.
This led to a major clean-up operation led by the force, with the road allowed to reopen once safety checks had been completed and it had been deemed safe.
Lancashire County Council said it's highways department was not involved.
At 1pm, a police spokesman said: "The vehicles have been recovered but there has been an oil spill and this is taking some time to clear up. We're hoping it won't be too long."
Shortly afterwards, at around 1.30pm, officers reopened the flyover and traffic flow has resumed as normal.
A spokesman for the force added: "Good news - the Penwortham flyover has now fully reopened following the earlier collision.
"Thank you for your patience and understanding while emergency services and highways teams attended the incident."
