Golden Petal Reviews
THE CLARINET
SORTING THEM OUT
The Magazine for Serious Record Collectors
By William Zagorski
Of the four CDs submitted for this article, I found the one titled Golden Petals the most intriguing. It is a collection of five pieces showing five distinct and distinctive permutations of jazz — the idiom as practiced by Artie Shaw in his Concerto for Clarinet (as arranged by Newton Wayland and transcribed by Paul English for live clarinet and synthesizer); as filtered through Igor Stravinsky's musical sensibility in his Ebony Concerto (also transcribed for the forces mentioned above); and as practiced by Janice Misurell-Mitchell in her paradoxical and often haunting Alone Together for bass clarinet and double bass (used in the jazz mode), and Paul English's bluesy and more accessible The Saxophone, For Solo Saxophone and Female Narrator — both of which are quirky; explore the outermost possibilities of instrumental timbre and technique; and push the concept of thematic variation to impressive heights. I found the disc not only musically refreshing, but often revelatory. Hearing Stravinsky's music being played by a machine that was able to imbue it with an unearthly metrical evenness, I got a new sense of the reason for his dictum that music should be "realized" not "interpreted." The rhythmic and metrical precision limned out his complex and subtle rhythms to splendid effect. The largest work, McKinley's Golden Petals for bass clarinet (interchanged at key moments with soprano saxophone), double bass, and instrumental ensemble, is full of McKinley's earmarks — sustained ostinatos, telling harmonies, and instrumental flair — it provided woodwind player Richard Nunemaker and bassist Peter Herbert with a fine virtuoso vehicle.
"I've been writing music for Nunemaker for over ten years. When I composed Golden Petals, he liked it so much that he wanted it recorded. We recorded it at Rice University with David Colson and the Pierrot Plus Ensemble about five years ago. He, however, couldn't get it onto a label — it was, once again, the old problem of economics. When MMC was formed I told him that MMC would post-produce Golden Petals. I'm writing a bass clarinet concerto for him in 1995. It will, of course, be recorded by MMC." Return to top of reviews

RICHARD NUNEMAKER: GOLDEN PETALS. Igor Stravinsky, Ebony Concerto (1945); Janice Misurell-Mitchell, Alone Together (1987); Paul English, The Saxophone, for Solo Saxophone and Female Narrator (1991); William Thomas McKinley, Golden Petals (1985); Artie Shaw, Concerto for Clarinet (1940); Playing time 67:06. MMC Recordings Ltd., 240 West Street, Reading, MA 01867-2847; CD-MMC2005.
Here is a recording perfectly adapted to the beginning of a new century. Depending on different viewpoints, this is either a fantastic breakthrough or simply another step towards a synthetic world….
Richard Nunemaker is a member of the Houston Symphony Orchestra where he performs on the clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone. This recording displays his admirable versatility and expression on these instruments, and features two important jazz concertos, and three new American Works. What is unique about the making of the disc is the electronic orchestration of both concertos. The works have been given new sonorities through re-orchestration for clarinet and computer-assisted synthesizers by jazz pianist Paul English.
Richard Nunemaker knows jazz. He plays freely and idiomatically expresses a full palette of emotions. His versatility on several instruments is impressive and he has the background to match. He has recorded tributes to Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman with Newton Wayland and the Houston Symphony, two Pro Arte compact discs entitled STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY and AMERICA SWINGS….
The new music works on this CD include Janice Misurell-Mitchell's Alone Together. Currently on the faculty of DePaul University, Mitchell earned several composition awards and grants. Alone Together, a single-movement duo for bass clarinet and double bass (used in its jazz mode) is introspective and quiet, with both instruments in their low range. The style fluctuates from jazz to free jazz to atonality. It is an interesting conversation between players allowing much space for Quasi-improvisation….
…The Saxophone for Solo Saxophone and Female Speaker by Paul English. English is one of the most respected jazz pianists in Texas. He performed with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie, David Liebman and Arnett Cobb. He devotes most of his time studying and developing his skills as a serious composer, and already has written numerous works. The Saxophone uses a 1924 text by English newspaper correspondent William Bolitho Ryall. Many ideas in this piece work very well. The speaker's phrases often are matched by the sax's expressive playing…. Nunemaker's virtuosic jazz playing is right on….
Golden Petals by William Thomas McKinley is the featured new work on the CD. Born in New Kensington, PA, in 1938, McKinley is one of America's most prolific and sought after composers. He learned jazz piano as a child, and by the age of 12 was a member of the musicians union. He has worked with Richard Stoltzman, who has inspired, commissioned, and performed a host of McKinley's works which mix jazz and classical roots. Golden Petals is a large-framed dramatic two-player concerto for bass clarinet plus saxophone and double bass, commissioned by Nunemaker. The accompaniment is refreshing in that a real orchestra is used, The Pierrot Plus Ensemble with David Colson conducting. Along with the Shaw concerto, this is my favorite work on the recording. It has minimalist and improvisatory elements which are precisely notated. Double bassist Peter Herbert is quite amazing with his high harmonics and flashy pizzicatos. Nunemaker sounds terrific on the soprano sax. The piece is intense and interesting, with a great sax cadenza.
The Pierrot Plus Ensemble was formed by music director and conductor David Colson in 1986. The group consists of eight professional musicians, five of whom are members of the Houston Symphony Orchestra. Students at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music supplement the ensemble, enabling Pierrot Plus to present chamber works for any number of players. I give the ensemble and Richard Nunemaker an A+ for their performance on this CD. The Shaw concerto… is a dazzler and is a good reason to acquire the CD. Return to top of reviews

RICHARD NUNEMAKER
'GOLDEN PETALS', Music of Stravinsky, Misurell-Mitchell, English, McKinley, Shaw, MMC 2005
'MULTIPLICITIES', Music of Rockmaker, Colson, Lennon and Lavenda
Red Mark CD 9213.
…"Brilliant, technically amazing, and fearless as well.
"Nunemaker: 'Vibrant and Alive'"
Richard Nunemaker is a member of the Houston Symphony, a top-rated solo performer on clarinet, bass clarinet, and sax, and a musician with lots of premieres and commissions to his credit. Like many a single-reedist, he explores the jazz lit unashamedly and is willing to share that fondness with his CD audience.
The album 'Golden Petals' offers five compositions so different from each other in style and substance the wonder is their juxtaposition makes any sense at all. And, although, we'll accept only one of the selections as bona fide serious new music, the whole album is refreshing just for that alone…. The title piece (date 1985) is another one of McKinley's no-holds barred essays in tension and release, a 22-minute work for bass clarinet, saxophone and percussion that some will find absorbing, others painful— that's McKinley. On another level, his status as the brains behind MMC Records once again assures his being the star of the show, at least the compositional one.
…The arrangement of the Shaw (Clarinet Concerto) by Newton Wayland, on the other hand, lets the sunlight of strings into the big band mix and gives the work some added class.
Though we should really save the sax for a more appropriate survey, we'll mention that the text for Alone Together is by William Bolitho Ryall, a South African. It's an homage to the instrument that sounds sincere if a bit corny, helped a lot by the smooth and polished narration of Dr. Chris Steele. Also noteworthy, besides Nunemaker's precise, yet always energetic playing (often when time seems to be standing still), is the nimble work (jazz and arco) of jazz bassist Peter Herbert, especially in the McKinley, and the all-around fine effort of the Pierrot Plus Ensemble, associated with Rice University.
If 'Golden Petals' shows off Nunemaker's versatility, his 'Multiplicities' album focuses on his impressive virtuosity. The disc also seems more serious in intent, all of the compositions, for good or bad, emerging from abstract ideas with, perhaps, one exception-John Anthony Lennon's Spiderdance of 1995, a 5 1/2-minute piece for clarinet and piano (Scott Holshouser). Mr. Lennon offers no comments on the composition other than this wry verse.
the spider laughs
the spider dances
the spider stalk
with only seven legs
Thus what we get is a happy, but quirky, jerky little dance in a mostly septimal (or triple-square, triple-square, etc.) meter.
We find the title selection, by Jody Rockmaker, hard to grasp in two or three hearings. It begins with spaced, clearly audible morsels for the soloist — swells, brief motives using techniques like flutter-tonguing, multiphonics, etc.—that are later expanded into longer riff-like cadenzas. But much of it contains plumbings in the lower register that are not fathomable to these faltering ears and are heard as virtual rests. We're all for experimentation, but before making that compositional plunge composers ought to ask themselves more often "why?"
David Colson's Dragon Music is a multi-stylistic sextet for clarinet, piano (Sylvie Beaudette) and four percussionists (Jay Harper, Kemoki Bunting, Brian Fruechtenicht and Scott Cummings). There are several exciting passages for all six forces that come out of jazz, Latin music and rock, but they last only briefly so that the clarinetist can shine in a variety of moods. The work ends on a strangely quiescent note. Mr. Colson leads the forces.
Most ambitious is Richard Lavenda's 33-minute Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet (1997). With so many chamber forms now long fossilized, it is a wonder this combination, going back to Mozart, has endured over the centuries. Don't expect Mr. Lavenda's opus to sound like Mozart; the underlying spirit, however, is there — the sense of apartness and togetherness, the exploring of timbral possibility, the moodiness within the more or less disciplined structure. Typically, it is in three movements with the middle "Serenade" a bit freer than the outer two (marked "Blaze and "Dynamo"), but also excursive of the push and pull character of this combo, Mr. Nunemaker is beautifully supported by the T'ang Quartet.
Overall rating:…Mr. Nunemaker's credentials are firm and his musicianship quite alive and often daring… Return to top of reviews

export default connect(mapStateToProps,mapDispatchToProps)(Employees);

And as you can see I have defined Employee Component route as "http://localhost:3000/admin/employees/data" but still, it doesn't load the component and can't even log anything when I routes to this specific route.
But everything is working fine when I'm accessing all the routes defined in the "Admin Component" but not able to access the routes defined in the "EmployeeRoute" component.
Please let me know if anything is missing from my side.

A: The problem is in the way that you have your various Switch blocks rendered relative to one another.  Specifically it's due to using exact incorrectly.
Let's think about how we expect the /admin/employees/data path to find it's component.
You have this statement here:
<Route exact path={`${match.path}/data`} component={Employees} />

inside of an EmployeeRouteComponent.
That EmployeeRouteComponent is loaded from inside Admin here:
<Route exact path={`${match.path}/employees`} component={EmployeeRouteComponent} />

But you are only loading EmployeeRouteComponent if the url is an exact match to "/admin/employees/".  Your URL "/admin/employees/data" is not an exact match so it skips over this condition.  It looks through all of the possibilities in Admin and finds no match, so it renders a div with a Menu and no contents.
You need to remove the exact from your Route and I would remove all of your other exacts while you're at it.  Instead put more specific URLs before shorter ones (as the router will select the first match). For example, if you move your Admin route before your SignupAndSignInComponent, any URL which does not start with "/admin" will load the sign-up.

As the 4th of July approaches, many will be gearing up to celebrate our nation's independence with a big family get together, a little backyard grilling, and maybe a game of all-American baseball or two. However, the introduction of fireworks into these celebrations can prove disastrous when in Maine. Under Maine Title 9-A, the possession, transportation or storage of fireworks other than sparklers, morning glories and paper or plastic caps without a permit can fetch up to $1000 in fines and a maximum of 6 months in jail, provided the value of the fireworks exceeds $100. If your intent is to sell, you can be fined amounts up to $20,000 and face a 10 year jail sentence (depending on the value of the fireworks). The take-home message is this: don't party too hard, and especially not with illegal fireworks. Celebrating the USA's freedom is all well and good, but at the end of the day, it's better to be able to celebrate your own freedom.

In this case it is different, espionage does not count as an attack when considering a bashing, it has nothing to do with this case. The simple act of one player spying and the other attack is enough, since two accounts with the same IP are being used to gain an advantage. What I fail to understand is why every time the staff make a decision it must be analysed by the community. This never used to happen we even get asked proof for minor insults.... Simply don't understand.
This thread is for opinions about the game rules draft, if we are going to have offtopic from banned players we will close this thread and the rules will only be shown when official.
Mata informed that in solving this. Message replied with explanation of ban. Thread Closed & Moved.
Sorry for delay, in doing extra hours at work because of Holidays. This will be finnished and posted tonight, although I do not think it will be the final version. At least so there is a draft for debates.
Stay on the topic, any complaints they can be direct to the correct staff member.
Sorry for the delay. We now have an SGO that will relieve me from some workload. I will be working in the draft ban durations, hopefully will have a first release before Monday.
Thread Closed @Matacapullos will review when he has time. Anything else, please contact a staff member privately.

A: I'm not an Android Developer but from the other UI work I have done so far, it seems that part of your container is in front of the UI elements that you want to be clickable.

*

*I suggest you open your UI designer and put the UI in the collapsed state by setting the initial variables appropriately (not in the rendered view in the app build).

*Like this you can then easily click on the single UI elements and see which of the elements is in front and blocking the access to the elements you want to access.

*Afterwards either put this element behind the other if possible, or try to restructure your UI so that nothing is in front anymore, like pulling out the toolbar with the text and button out of the collapse area and attaching it to the bottom.

Some shark facts:In some form, sharks have been around for about 400 million years.
Even before dinosaurs roamed the earth, sharks hunted through the oceans! They're such good survivors that they've had little need to evolve in the last 150 million years.
Sharks have the most powerful jaws on the planet. Unlike most animals' jaws, both the sharks' upper and lower jaws move. A shark bites with it's lower jaw first and then its upper. It tosses its head back and forth to tear loose a piece of meat which it swallows whole.
The most dangerous sharks are the Great White shark, the Tiger shark, the Hammerhead shark, the Mako shark and the Bull shark. On average, there are only about 100 shark attacks each year and only 10 of those result in a human death.
You are right! Sharks are not the brightest creatures in the world and have very poor eyesight. Many times they confuse surfers for seals and try to take a bite. This is rare Davon so you can still go in the water.
I like your shark drawing very much. What kind of shark is trying to eat the crab?

Q: Switching pages with history.push() passing state - React Router 5 I want to switch between pages.
I'm pushing path and a {state} object.
The problem is that when pressing the browser back button its going endless back and forth between Signup and Signin even though I switch only twice or more.
Or when pressing the browser back button the URL changes to signin or signup but the page will be my 404 component, or to the Main page (in the sandbox) regardless what was the page before.
codesandbox
The two components are in a conditional rendering
 {auth ? (
          <Switch>
            <Route path="/signup" auth={auth}>
              <SignUp setAuth={setAuth} />
            </Route>
            <Route path="/signin" auth={auth}>
              <SignIn setAuth={setAuth} />
            </Route>
          </Switch>
        ) :

when switching from signup to signin in a button -
history.push({
          pathname: "/signin",
          state: { from: "fromSignUp" }
        });

Pressing the browser back button on each component will check in the history if it came from signup or signin -
useEffect(() => {
    window.onpopstate = () => {
      console.log("useEffect SignUp", location.state?.from === "fromSignIn"); // sometimes true/sometimes false, even when came from 'signin'
      if (location.state?.from === "fromSignIn") {
        history.push({
          pathname: "/signin",
          state: { from: "fromSignUp" }
        });
      } else {
        setAuth(false);
        history.goBack();
      }
    };
  }, [location.state, history]);

In my VS Code its acting even worse .
I can give a link to the GitHub repository.
Thanks

A: First of all: in your app.js you say: if auth == true then show signup/signin. auth needs to be false in this case. then add a new route path="*" and redirect it to signup as example.
Then in your SignUp component in the useEffect function you say: come from SignIn then.... "ELSE" (and here is the error) you say:
    setAuth(false);
    history.goBack();

So you set setAuth to false. In this case you can never navigate back from page 2 to page 1 as example. This page are only visible if auth is true.
Greetings, Flo

A: Solution found. Thanks to a friend of mine I found that don't need any of this   conditions, functions and push() -
 Removed -
const [auth setAuth] = useState(false)  // no need

 window.onpopstate = () => {   // no need
 history.push({    // no need
          pathname: "/signin",
          state: { from: "fromSignUp" }
        });

The solution is with two per of <Switch>. The Route's closing tag for  Header (the navbar) -  <Route>  - </Route> is below all  other components inside the inner Switch

I'm not showing the props here.
App.js
  return (

      <Switch>
        <Route path="/signup">
          <SignUp />
        </Route>
        <Route path="/signin">
          <SignIn />
        </Route>
        <Route >

            <Switch>
              <Route exact path="/"  >

              </Route>
              <Route path="/pageone" >
                <PageOne />
              </Route>
              <Route path="/pagetwo"  >
                <PageTwo />
              </Route>
              <Route component={PageNotFound} path="*" />
            </Switch>

        </Route>
      </Switch>

  );

All works as it should, Perfect. Thanks to David

Ukraine students brace for underground school year
Tuesday, August 30, 2022 at 5:48 AM by © AFP 2022

Five metres beneath a Kyiv classroom, headmaster Mykhaylo Aliokhin puts the finishing touches on the bunker where his students will spend much of their time once Ukraine's school term starts later this week.
The study hall above is still littered with school bags abandoned since February 23 -- the last day before Russia invaded and school bells fell silent, replaced by the skirl of the air raid siren.
Down here, there are no windows. Desks, display boards, colourful books and globes all remain upstairs. This was once a changing room, but as shelling remains a threat in the capital it now serves as a shelter.
"As soon as a siren goes off, staff will immediately bring the children down to the basement regardless of the activity at the time," Aliokhin told AFP. "As much as possible, they'll carry on with their work in a relaxed way."
Relief and desperation in Pakistan's makeshift flood camps
Despite the austere conditions he hopes one third of his 460 pupils, aged between six and 16, will return when schools reopen on Thursday for the first time since the war started.
There are 4.2 million schoolchildren in Ukraine, according to 2021 figures.

Following Russia's invasion more than two million children left the country, while another three million were displaced internally between February and June, according to the UN children's agency UNICEF.
Nonetheless in Kyiv -- now distant from front line fighting raging to the east and south -- 132,000 pupils are preparing to return to school on September 1, according to mayor Vitali Klitschko.

On Kyiv's left bank, at Aliokhin's private school, which AFP has chosen not to identify, staff have prepared two scenarios ahead of the first day back.
Pakistan floods a 'crisis of unimaginable proportions', says minister
One will be a normal "overground" programme of learning, 10 metres (33 feet) from the shelter entrance.
The other curriculum will take place underground in case the air raid siren sounds, as it does most days.
"It's not out of the realm of possibility that our enemy, who is very fond of symbolic dates, would take advantage of this one," said 26-year-old Aliokhin.
Regardless of whether or not there are missiles, teachers will stage a party downstairs "to show the children that this is a safe place where they will certainly spend a lot of time this year".
The bunker will be stocked with enough food and water for 48 hours. Medical staff and psychologists will be available at all times.
"I could never have imagined this, but here we are... in this new reality," said Aliokhin.
'Live in the present moment'
Nationwide, half of the 23,000 schools surveyed by Ukraine's education ministry -- about 51 percent -- are equipped with the bunker facilities necessary to begin classes offline. Those without will teach classes online.
Japanese bath houses find new ways to stay afloat
The sobering setting does not seem to be dampening enthusiasm for the new school year.
"I live next to my school," said 16-year-old Polina, enjoying time with friends at a Kyiv cafe the week before school restarts.
"I will be safer there, because we will be brought down to the shelter in an organised way.
"To tell the truth, we just want to live our life fully after two years of Covid and six months of war," she added.

"We are not afraid, we have already lived enough. Our generation has decided to live in the present moment."
The choice may be more difficult for parents. According to Ukraine's education ombudsman Sergiy Gorbachov, most parents reject face-to-face education because they fear the risks.
The education ministry says 2,135 schools have been damaged in the war.
"Regions close to the front are going completely online. Face-to-face just isn't possible there," said Gorbachov.
China's jobless youth left in the lurch
Nevertheless Youlia Shatravenko-Sokolovych -- who AFP met in Kyiv -- has decided her seven-year-old daughter Myroslava will be back in the classroom on Thursday.
"Of course we are all scared, but I cannot deprive my child of socialisation," she said. "I trust the Ukrainian army, which defends us.
"The fact that we are back to more or less normal life gives me hope."

The Best Innovative Power Banks
By TechPrate
Modified On: December 14, 2020
There are a lot of power banks on the market today and we have a lot of bloggers that always blog about what the Best Power Bank is with their high capacity and they always focus on the basics of what a portable charger has to offer. I'm not saying that all power banks are the same, but most of them have the same characteristics and to call one better than the other is something that can't be blatantly described.
With that said, there are plenty of power banks out there that are becoming innovative with what they offer and as a result, that makes them more useful to use. These power banks are the ones that take a different turn and offer value in other ways that more usual power banks don't.
#1: Anker PowerCore 5000 Slim
Slims power banks are among the most useful kinds of portable chargers. However, if all they can provide is slimness, that's good but it's nothing new that other slim power banks can't offer.
In this case, though, the Anker PowerCore 5000 Slim power bank goes further than just being slim. It has a form factor that is able to make using it a great experience.
What's so special about using the Anker PowerCore 5000 Slim?
The two sides of the power banks are what makes the PowerCore 5000 Slim so awesome to use. On one side of the power bank, you have rubber ridges which is the side that you're supposed to place your smartphone on. Your smartphone is able to stay balanced on this side.
It's also easy to hold in the hands. The other side of the power bank is curved and that makes it easier to hold the power bank in a single hand. With those two features combined: A smartphone being cable to stack on top of the PowerCore Slim and also being able to hold it more easily, you're able to charge your smartphone and use your smartphone at the same time with ease. This even goes for being on the phone while you're talking to somebody because the PowerCore Slim blends perfectly in with your smartphone on top of it, which makes it easy to hold the power bank and your smartphone in the same hand.
Also, on charging side design side, the power bank is very easy to use. With all of its functional parts being on a single side; like the power button, charging port, Micro-USB Input and 3 LED power capacity indicators lights. Using a short charging cable with the PowerCore Slim 5000 is what makes using this power bank a better experience because there's less of a hassle of taking care of a cable.
#2: Aukey 5,000mAh USB-C Power Bank
Most small power banks that are cylindrical are very normal. When I say "Normal" I mean that most of them just have a single USB charging port and the charging speed is usually just 5V/1.0A, which is usually a slow charging speed. That's not the case here because Aukey power bank that is very small takes a turn to USB-C charging.
What is USB-C charging?
USB-C charging is a new type of charging that is overall faster than standard charging and is on par with Qualcomm Quick Charge speeds of charging. Newer Android smartphone are beginning to use these kinds of charging methods because they're able to recharge faster, and one the latest smartphones to use it is the Google Pixel. Even the newer MacBook models are using USB-C to charge and sync to other devices.
With that said, in order to take full advantage of USB-C charging you need a USB-C charging port from a charger and a USB-C to USB-C charging cable must be used.
What's so Special about this Aukey Power Bank?
It's made for those that own USB-C compatible smartphones! USB-C smartphones are not very common, at least not yet. However, this is a Mini power bank and it's using the fast charging technology. A USB-C to USB-C charging cable is needed to charge devices with it and once that's done, it's able to deliver charging speeds of 5V/3.0A.
#3: Jackery Jewel Charging Cable Power Bank
Charging cables are used every time we want to charge a device; although there's an exception for Wireless charging, but even then a charging cable is needed to power the Wireless charger.
In this case, the Jackery Jewel is a charging cable that has a power bank or you could look at it like a power bank that has a charging cable.
What makes this power banks more innovative than a lot of other ones is just how small it is and how it's integrated so well into a charging cable. It just has a power capacity of 450mAh and that's still enough power to give about 15% of power to an iPhone 6. So it's really meant for those emergencies.
With that said, I realize that it's not a long-lasting power bank and neither does it even offer fast charging because it has an Output charging speed of the only 5V/1.0A. It's more of the form factor and the way that you can use the power bank. You don't need to plug the charging cable into a Wall Adapter until the power bank piece is fully depleted of its power. So you can just connect the Jackery Jewel to a Lightning compatible device, press the power button and it'll begin charging. Sure it looks odd that you're charging your iPhone without a plugged in charging cable but that's the whole point.
To recharge the power bank, just connect it to a Wall Adapter and it'll begin recharging and you can even connect your iPhone to the charging cable while it's connected to a Wall Adapter because it'll begin charging then too. So it truly is a power bank and a charging built into one.
#4: RAVPower Lightning Power Bank
This RAVPower power bank has a design that not many people care to think about. All the functional parts on the power bank are so compact and well inputted into the power bank, which makes it very easy to carry and be portable with it.
It has a Built-In Lightning or Micro-USB charging cable depending on what version of the power bank you want to get. The charging cable is able to go right into the power bank, there's charging port at the bottom of the charger that you can use with any charging cable to charge two devices at once; the charging port is covered by a flap. To recharge the power bank, there's isn't the usual Micro-USB Input port that is used to recharge most power banks.
Instead, this portable charger uses an AC Adapter to simply plug the power bank into an AC Outlet and it'll begin charging. Also, the AC Adapter is foldable into the power bank. Everything is built into the power bank which makes the charger very easy to use and take anywhere. The main reason it's so innovative is because you already have the Built-in charging cable for charging your device, and the AC Adapter, and as a result, you don't need any charging cables unless you want to use the charging port at the bottom.
#5: Anker PowerHouse
So even though I said that most "Best Power Banks" are competing for the same High Power Capacity and Charging Speeds; this Anker PowerHouse goes beyond that stuff. Its name is actually quite fitting because even though you can't exactly power a house, you can power quite a lot of things.
What the Power Capacity on this Monster?
The power capacity starts at a whopping 120,000mAh and that's a lot of power. However, it's important to remember that power capacities, especially like this PowerHouse goes through a conversion and that's going to leave you with a few thousand less of power capacity than what the PowerHouse actually starts with. Although that doesn't really matter too much.
That's because whatever power capacity that you do end up receiving it going to end up providing lots of full charges to smartphones, tablets and even laptops. The PowerHouse will have no problem lasting for a month if all you're using it for is to charge smartphones and maybe tablets.
Charging Options for Something with So Much Power?
There are plenty of charging options with the PowerHouse because it has 4 USB charging ports, an AC Outlet. a V12 Outlet and DC port that is used both as an Output and Input to recharge the power bank. So it's very versatile not only with charging, but it can also power appliances like a Mini Fridge.
This is the perfect kind of the power bank (Do we even call it that?) to keep in your house in case of emergencies or if you want to take it out into the wilderness for when you go exploring.
#6: iWalk T08 Power Bank
Even though I did kind of mention a power bank that has a built-in charging cable, this iWak power bank takes it to the next level because it has all the charging cables that you'll need and just a bit more.
There's a Built-In Lightning charging cable, a Micro-USB charging cable, and a USB cable for recharging the power bank and also for syncing with a computer. So there's no need to have a Micro-USB cable for recharging the power bank because it's within the power bank itself; you can also share files with either the Built-In Lightning charging cable or the charging port that the power bank has too. Unfortunately, the Micro-USB built-in charging cable does not support syncing to share files.
With that said, there is indeed a charging port and a Micro-USB port that you can also use to charge devices and recharge the power bank. What other kinds of power banks have such awesomeness? Very few and possibly none at all. All you really need is a USB wall charger to recharge the power bank because the iWalk portable charger by itself already has lots of capabilities that make it a strong power bank to use.

Emily Allen
Product Manager - HR & L&D
Emily joined MOL in 2016 and has been working for the LTE Group since 2014. After graduating with a BA in Anthropology, Emily went on to study her Level 7 CIPD Advanced Diploma and MA in Strategic Human Resource Management. Emily enjoyed a HR career for 10 years in a variety of industries, and is now Product Manager for the suite of CIPD and HR products in MOL.
Will an MA in Strategic HR Management make you more employable?
Masters by name, masters by nature?
Do HR professionals who study for career oriented Master's degrees really have more control over their future success?
The lay of the professional landscape has changed beyond recognition since recession hit the UK back in 2008. Fewer jobs mean far greater competition and, as a result of that, more and more HR and L&D professionals are turning to education as a means of improving their skill sets and prospects. Postgraduate studies and, in particular, Master's degrees are more popular than ever. But do they actually make a difference?
It's one thing to think that you're 'investing' in your future and, if you're not a Chartered Member or Fellow of the CIPD, you might well already have completed a CIPD Advanced Diploma. But qualifications don't come cheaply and, if they're not going to have a significantly positive impact on your career, then they might end up seeming like a bit of a waste of time. So how do you go about figuring out what's the best thing to do next?
'One way is to look at it from an employer's perspective,' says Colin Gordon, Head of MOL, which is one of the UK's leading providers of Master's degrees in Strategic HR Management. 'If you take two virtually identical candidates – both perfect cultural fits, both have amazing CVs with Chartered or Fellow CIPD status or an Advanced Diploma, both seem more than capable of handling a strategic role, but one of them has a Master's degree in the subject and the other doesn't… Well, it's easy to see who'd get chosen.'
It's an obvious, but convincing view. Yet, is it really as simple as that? Is the theory learned on an MA even really all that relevant to the actual world of everyday work?
'Absolutely,' insists Colin. 'It couldn't be more relevant – our programme is a great example as it's very much designed for people already in the industry who want to add value to their organisation. It explores contemporary strategic issues and we continually review our content to make sure it's at the leading edge of industry developments. I'm not saying it's a sure fire strategy for immediate career success in these times of tentative growth. No two interviews are alike and every employer has their own idiosyncrasies. But what an MA in Strategic HR Management does do is give you transferable skills and a qualification to prove that you have those skills. And that's something every employer worth their salt will respect.'
One of the key factors to be considered when contemplating a Master's degree is cost. Last year, the government lifted the cap on postgraduate qualifications and the cost of studying for one has increased across the board. And, if a Master's degree isn't going to guarantee you an immediate job, then won't you run the risk of being financially worse off than before you started your studies? Colin suggests that it's a risk worth running.
'It's possible to find a programme that doesn't cost the earth still. Ours, for instance, is incredibly reasonably priced – for a small additional fee, you can top-up your existing qualification and gain the additional benefit of upgraded professional status. Plus payments can be spread across the duration. OK, there's a chance you might not get a job immediately, but you will absolutely have the edge over your competitor candidates and that goes a long way. I don't just mean in terms of your CV either. Attaining that qualification will make you feel more employable. So, when you go into an interview, you'll do so with greater confidence than you had before.'
The latest figures published by the government show continued employment growth in the UK, but that growth is still slow – the employment rate between June and August 2013 was at 71.7%, up just 0.3% from the period covering March to May. It's to be hoped for everyone that the trend continues, but in the meantime, it might be well worth your while to consider how you could stand out from the stiff and still very numerous competition. Will a Master's degree make you the master of your own destiny?

Q: Maven Javadoc Plugin During Site Goal: javadoc: error - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Please increase memory I have been struggling to increase the memory of my javadoc plugin via my pom file.  For some reason my Mac build slave fails during the site goal with an OutOfMemoryError.  I tried adjusting the maxmemory of the javadoc plugin via my pluginManagement section of the pom (as per the maven-javadoc-plugin documentation):
...
<build>
  ...
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.8.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <maxmemory>512m</maxmemory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  <pluginManagement>
  ...
</build>
...

This didn't seem to help anything, my build still failed with an out of memory error.
So I decided to put this directly in my plugin declaration instead (see the build-plugins-plugin section below:
...
<build>
  ...
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.8.1</version>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  <pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
    ...
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <maxmemory>512m</maxmemory>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
    ...
  </plugins>
  ...
</build>
...

...and yet this is still not working, the Mac build slave still fails during the site goal.

A: It turned out I was being an idiot.  The site goal uses the plugin defintions declared in the reporting section of the pom.  Therefore I had to add my max memory configuration here instead, see below:
...
<build>
  ...
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.8.1</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  <pluginManagement>
  ...
</build>
...
<reporting>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.8.1</version>
      <configuration>
        <maxmemory>512m</maxmemory>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</reporting>
...

Based on this result, it is my assumption that Maven will not pick up configuration details defined in the build-pluginManagement section of the pom for plugins defined in the reporting section.  Cheers.


What Happened to the Google Directory?
Blog Spammers: Why waste your time?
Most SEO gurus share virtually the same opinion about directory link building: It is a vital element of the optimization process and one that must be done properly. The best web directories have stringent review processes that prevent spammers and sites with low-value content from discrediting their efforts with search engines. Even when using reputable directories with dedicated review practices, however, site owners must implement a range of link building strategies in order to obtain optimal benefits from inclusion.

Stephen Bray, delivery driver at CEF, has been crowned Driver of the Year at the 2018 What Van? Awards.
Driver of the Year, a new addition to the awards, recognises exceptional driving performance across light commercial vehicle fleets. Beating almost 10,000 other drivers, Stephen picked up the award after consistently achieving 100% on his driving performance – a statistic provided by Lightfoot, the in-van technology which promotes safe and environmentally-friendly driving.
As network operators and consumers become more and more aware of the importance of the security of supply in electrical power systems, they are becoming increasingly interested in the continuous measurement of power quality. In order to identify problems at an early stage and to be able to take appropriate preventative measures, the first step is to use a suitable measuring system to closely analyse the supply system or technical equipment over a longer time period. Depending on the specific facility and application, the requirements to be met by a suitable measuring system are very varied and include a wide range of different measurement functions.
Formerly Borri, Power Control (PCL) has received a glowing review for its electrical expertise and high performance UPS solutions from one of the world's largest travel sites.
Due to continued business expansion, the global travel review company recently replaced its 60kVA, end of life unit with the purchase of two Borri B8000FXS 20kVA UPS units, which are now handling added capacity the company's newest facility.
Testing underground – and undersea – high-voltage power cables is always a challenging task and has often involved the use of huge lorry-mounted test sets. As Damon Mount of Megger explains, however, recent developments mean that much smaller, easily transportable test sets can now provide results that are accurate, detailed and dependable.

There Is No Magic Formula When Quitting an Addiction
By 28, I'd been arrested, convicted and kicked out of grad school. But it took me another two years to end my love affair with drugs
January 3, 2018 | By Marc Lewis
Trying to describe what it's like to quit drugs to someone never before addicted is a bit like trying to describe a breakup to someone who's never been in love. Much like romantic love, addiction almost always has two chapters: falling in, and then, when it's no longer tolerable, clawing your way out.
The most prominent model of addiction in North America frames it as a disease – a brain disease. But I never saw addiction as a disease. Not now, after studying it for eight years as a scientist, and not 40 years ago when I was living it. Back then, I could easily see how destructive addiction was. I knew how miserable it made me, but I never thought that I was ill. Like racism, domestic violence, jihadism and certainly romantic love, I've come to understand addiction as a complex psychosocial process (which of course involves the brain). It should not be shelved under a simplistic label – especially one that bequeaths a sense of powerlessness. To me, addiction is best seen as a habit of thinking and acting, entrenched (psychologically and neurally) through repetition, and driven by powerful feelings of attraction and loss.
I hated being an addict. If there'd been a pill to cure it, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. But taking pills was the problem, not the solution. I started with heroin at age 17 while going to school in Berkeley, California. I knew that heroin was a supremely bad idea, but I wanted to break some rules and soothe myself at the same time. I vaguely understood that my years at a militaristic boarding school had sown the seeds of a depression that fuelled my addiction. Now I know the research showing that child and adolescent trauma indeed foreshadow addiction.
At 20, my greatest joy was an afternoon by the ocean tripping on LSD. By age 24, heroin had become my drug of choice. By 26, I was living in Toronto, applying to grad school in psychology, and injecting or swallowing pharmaceutical opiates up to several times a day. I would steal morphine and its chemical cousins from the lab where I worked, from doctors' offices and pharmacies, or I'd write my own prescriptions. By 28, I'd been arrested, convicted and kicked out of graduate school. I'd lost a girlfriend I deeply loved, and my other friendships were shedding like dry skin. By 29, I was injecting combinations of drugs that still make me shudder.
Then, at age 30, I quit.
It wasn't the first time I'd tried. More like the 257th. I'd written a stack of journals full of self-analysis, self-admonishment and pep talks, and sworn to everyone I knew that this was it. I'd thrown away my stash regularly as a symbolic gesture, and tried to replace drugs with booze, sex and music. I'd had regular sessions with an addiction counsellor (as part of a probation order) and then found three psychotherapists on my own. I was convicted and put on probation a second time. I lost at least three jobs because I came to work high or acted irresponsibly. I even (finally) left a marriage that was just plain wrong – for both of us. But none of these things stopped me. Which is to say, they might have stopped me for a few days, a week, a month, even several months. But then I'd go back.
Until I didn't. Until I got really, really sick of being an addict.
I didn't know for sure that it was working the time it worked – not until a few weeks went by and the thought of going back to drugs was not only less and less appealing but also increasingly repellent. Over several months, thoughts about drugs became boring. In a year, I found it hard to remember exactly what the attraction had been. By that time I was back in graduate school and had lots to keep me busy.
What was my magic formula? I told myself that I not only couldn't do drugs anymore but didn't want to do drugs anymore. I reminded myself over and over that I hated drugs and the way they'd appropriated my life. I wrote the word "No" on a piece of paper, tacked it to the wall above my staircase and read it 20 or 30 times a day. I meditated a bit and did tai chi in the park at night.
But my magic formula isn't the point. Of the thousands of former addicts I've talked with, via email, Skype, in person or on my blog, no two of them quit in exactly the same way. For some, psychotherapy was key. For others it was an overdose scare. For still others a commitment to a loved one; a practice, such as meditation or exercise; or jail time (probably the least helpful). The point is that, despite these variations, most addicts do quit – everything from alcohol to porn to gambling to heroin – and the majority of them quit without professional help or intervention. (Though some addicts do need professional help, and that help should always be made available and tailored to individual needs.)
Most addicts quit when they're ready. When they've had enough. When they want, more than anything else, to keep growing. (It's called "aging" or "maturing" out of addiction.) In fact, I see quitting as a developmental process. I see it as the second half of the developmental journey that got them into addiction in the first place.
I was stubborn. Quitting came hard for me and took a long time to stick. For some people it's harder. For many, it's easier. But if there's any lesson to be learned from my own struggle, it's that addiction is complicated, blending psychological, social and biological factors along a timeline that's both highly individual and ultimately universal. Nobody likes being an addict. Given the opportunity, and the time to make it work, most of us do what we have to do to stop.

Stephen Fraser says:
This leaves the reader with the impression that "we stop when we are ready, when we've had enough, in our own way." Perhaps all of this is true of those who do stop. But many don't stop -- not before destroying their own life and the lives of everyone they touch. I grew up surrounded by addicts who all died, but not until they left a legacy of destruction and trauma in their wake.
Djimon says:
Dr. Lewis has a poor understanding of how the brain works.
Lucas Deschamps says:
Great thinker, compelling theory. The data he bases his theory on is available to everyone. Biology of Desire resonated with me.


Benzocaine is used to relieve pain and itching caused by conditions such as sunburn or other minor burns, insect bites or stings, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, minor cuts, or scratches.
Benzocaine belongs to a group of medicines known as topical local anesthetics. It deadens the nerve endings in the skin. This medicine does not cause unconsciousness like general anesthetics do when used for surgery.
This medicine is available without a prescription; however, your doctor may have special instructions on the proper use and dose for your medical condition.
Because of benzocaine's toxicity, use in children under 2 years of age is not recommended.
No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of benzocaine in geriatric patients.
Pyruvate-kinase deficiency (a hereditary metabolic disorder affecting red blood cells)—Use with caution. May increase the risk of developing a serious side effect called methemoglobinemia.
Smokers—Use with caution. May cause side effects to become worse.
Children under the age of 2 years—Should not be used in this age group.
This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain benzocaine. It may not be specific to Topicaine. Please read with care.
Use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not use it for any other reason without first checking with your doctor. This medicine may be more likely than other topical anesthetics to cause unwanted effects if it is used too much, because more of it is absorbed into the body through the skin.
Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, do not apply this medicine to open wounds, burns, or broken or inflamed skin.
This medicine should be used only for problems being treated by your doctor or conditions listed in the package directions. Check with your doctor before using it for other problems, especially if you think that an infection may be present. This medicine should not be used to treat certain kinds of skin infections or serious problems, such as severe burns.
Be careful not to get any of this medicine in your nose, mouth, and especially in your eyes, because it can cause severe eye irritation. If any of the medicine does get into these areas especially the eyes, wash it with water for at least 15 minutes and check with your doctor right away.
If you are using a spray form of this medicine, do not spray it directly on your face. Instead, use your hand or an applicator (e.g., a sterile gauze pad or a cotton swab) to apply the medicine.
To use the pad or swab, open the package according to the directions. When treating a bee sting, remove the stinger before using the medicine. Wipe the pad or swab across the affected skin area.
Read the package label very carefully to see if the product contains any alcohol. Alcohol is flammable and can catch on fire. Do not use any product containing alcohol near a fire or open flame, or while smoking. Also, do not smoke after applying one of these products until it has completely dried.
Use the benzocaine gel or liquid only when needed, but not for more than four times a day.
In children, instead of using this medicine, talk with your pediatrician about different ways to treat teething. Give your child a chilled teething ring, or gently rub or massage your child's gums with your finger to relieve symptoms of teething pain. Do not use this medicine in children under the age of 2 unless your doctor tells you to.
Adults, teenagers, and children 2 years of age and older—Apply to the affected area three or four times a day as needed.
If your or your child's condition does not improve within 7 days, or if it becomes worse, check with your doctor.
After applying this medicine to the skin of your child, watch the child carefully to make sure that he or she does not get any of the medicine into his or her eyes or mouth. It can cause serious side effects, especially in children, if any of the medicine gets into the mouth or is swallowed.
Stop using this medicine and check with your doctor right away if you or your child have a skin rash, burning, stinging, swelling, or irritation of your skin.
Do not use cosmetics or other skin care products on the treated skin areas.
This medicine may cause a rare, but serious blood problem called methemoglobinemia. This condition may occur after use of the spray for medical procedures or use of the over-the-counter gel or liquid for mouth sores or teething in children. The risk may be increased in infants younger than 4 months of age, elderly patients, or patients with certain inborn defects. It has occurred when patients receive too much of the medicine, but can also occur with small amounts. Make sure you store this medicine out of reach of children. Call your doctor right away if you or your child has the following symptoms after receiving this medicine: pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nails; confusion; headache; lightheadedness; fast heartbeat; shortness of breath; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Make sure your doctor knows if you are also taking medicines containing nitrates or nitrites. This includes nitroglycerin, Imdur®, Isordil®, Nitro-Bid®, Nitrostat®, or Transderm-Nitro®.

This book covers the period 1948-82, taking the reader from turbulence brought about the granting of independence to India in 1947, through the long years of the Malayan emergency, confrontation in Borneo, the periodic overspills into Hong Kong of communist China's internal upheavals, to Belize and peacetime soldering in Britain and Brunei. Although these events are described mainly through the eyes of the Regiment , the book gives a broad account of the background and course of the campaigns in which the 6th queen Elizabeth's Own Gurkha Rifle have taken part.
Above all, this is a story of that gallant and loyal hillman from Nepal, the Gurkha Rifleman. His courage and steadfastness, imperturbability and humour shine through on every page. Written by a distinguish military historian, this book is a valuable addition not just to the history of the Gurkhas themselves, but to that of the postwar British army as well.
Charles Messenger served for twenty years as an officer in the Royal Tank Regiment before becoming a fulltime military historian and defense analyst. He is the author of nearly forty books, including The Steadfast Gurkha. He lives in London, England.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether chlorthalidone is more effective than hydrochlorothiazide at preventing cardiovascular outcomes in Veterans over age 65 with hypertension. Both medications are thiazide-type diuretics that have been used for more than 50 years and are considered first-line treatment for hypertension. Patients currently prescribed hydrochlorothiazide will be randomized to either continue taking hydrochlorothiazide or to receive chlorthalidone, and followed for major cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. The study will use a new, efficient and less expensive study design termed 'point of care', in which study operations will be conducted centrally and patient data will be collected passively through the electronic medical record.
Over 1 million Veterans are prescribed a thiazide-type diuretic each year; over 95% receive hydrochlorothiazide, and fewer than 2.5% receive chlorthalidone. Both medications are thiazide-type diuretics that have been used for more than 50 years and are considered first-line treatment for hypertension. Indirect evidence has been accumulating, however, that chlorthalidone may be more effective than hydrochlorothiazide at preventing cardiovascular events. This will be the first randomized head-to-head comparison of the effectiveness of these two drugs. The study plans to enroll 13,500 Veterans over 3 years and follow them on average for 3 years, resulting in a total study duration of 4.5 years. Patients currently prescribed hydrochlorothiazide will be randomized to either continue taking hydrochlorothiazide or to receive an equivalent dose of chlorthalidone. The unique 'point of care' or 'clinically integrated' study design will identify, enroll and follow subjects using the electronic medical record system and national VA and non-VA databases. The primary outcome is an event composite consisting of: stroke, myocardial infarction, non-cancer death, urgent revascularization, and hospitalization for acute congestive heart failure. All patient care, including the study drug, will continue to be managed by the primary care provider.
Primary Care Providers will also be included as participants in this research study. Adding providers as subjects will allow us to study the implementation of the point of care protocol design in addition to the original research question. The study team will collect data on diuretic management within the study and may contact providers by phone or email to learn reasons for declining a particular patient or discontinuing a new chlorthalidone order or an ongoing diuretic prescription.
If cardiovascular events are reduced by even a small amount by chlorthalidone, the public health effect will be considerable because of the large number of patients who take diuretics. A randomized trial, now feasible due to the investigators' efficient and inexpensive design, will provide evidence needed to better inform practice throughout the VA.
Thiazide-type diuretic. Daily dose of 50 or 25 mg for duration of the study.
Thiazide-type diuretic. Daily dose of 25 or 12.5 mg for duration of the study.
The Primary outcome measure will be time to a major cardiovascular event, defined as a composite outcome comprised of the first occurrence after randomization of any of the following: stroke, myocardial infarction, urgent coronary revascularization because of unstable angina, hospitalization for acute congestive heart failure, non-cancer death.
The Secondary outcomes will include time to event for (1) each of the 5 components of the composite primary outcome, (2) all deaths, (3) the composite outcome substituting all deaths for non-cancer deaths, (4) "possibly vascular deaths," (5) the composite outcome substituting "possibly vascular deaths" for non-cancer deaths, (6) any revascularization of any artery.
This secondary outcome measure will be time to a major cardiovascular event, defined as a composite outcome comprised of the first occurrence after randomization of any of the following: stroke, myocardial infarction, urgent coronary revascularization because of unstable angina, hospitalization for acute congestive heart failure, all deaths.
Defined as all deaths caused by vascular diseases, diabetes, external causes, and unknown causes.
