Trenchtown Gaming Tournament Report
On Saturday (23 November), the Call of Duty Ghosts console season got off to a low key start with Zombiegamer and 2upGamers eSports hosting a free-for-all event, along with the ever-present FIFA 14 and free-to-enter Injustice: Gods Among Us.
A smaller than usual turnout was always expected due to the school exams and the time of year, but that didn't mean the competition wasn't fierce – but with a laugh or three thrown in. In Injustice, Warren Green prevailed over his opponents to bag a hamper consisting of two Xbox 360 games, three Xbox Live Arcade codes and a handshake or two.
FIFA 14 was – as always – split over the two console platforms (currently available in SA of course), until the final two on each console had to battle it out over both consoles in a home and away final and third place play-off match. The top four players all walked away with cash on the day. Yazeed came in third and scored R100, with Morne ending second and bagging R200, while winner Talieb walked off with R400.
Call of Duty Ghosts saw 11 players enter, and with players split into three groups and rotated over a sequence of maps to ensure everyone played the others, the 11 became eight for a best of three final. Total kills would determine the winner over Strikezone, Warhawk and Octane, and Andrew (aka Adept Damage) led from start to finish with a total of 137 kills to bag R250 cash. In second place was Stefan (aka Quik) who killed 126 victims (and got R150) for doing so, while R100 went to Rory who killed 125 poor souls.
Pictures from the event are available in our Facebook Album, right here.

A double header weekend for some of the Trenchtown crew meant that Sunday (24 November) was jam-packed with FIFA 14 action.
The half-a-British-Premier-League tournament known as the EFL kicked off with 20 teams but only 19 players. Liverpool player-managed by Grant Morgan were one of the favourites, while defending champion team, Norwich (this time lead by Mubeen Gaffoor) had a lot to live up to following last season's surprise win. Last season's Norwich manager, Aziz Hendricks, had another tough draw with Stoke.
For some, the season was a tough one, and if there was a Championship League in the EFL, Manchester United would've been in it next season. In the end, Liverpool were dominant, essentially securing the win with around five games to go. Grant led the team to victory with a record of 16 wins and three draws, and scored 55 goals on the way.
The full results from the league:
CHAMPIONS: Grant – LIVERPOOL
RUNNERS UP: Jayson – SWANSEA
THIRD PLACE: Yazeed – SOUTHAMPTON
GOLDEN BOOT: Grant – Liverpool
GOLDEN GLOVE: Keenan – CHELSEA
MANAGER OF THE SEASON: Mubeen – NORWICH
PLAYERS PLAYER OF THE SEASON: Jayson – SWANSEA
Pictures from the event are available here.

Schools Events
We are pleased to announce that a new project we have been working on will kick off on Monday 2 December. The new project is to take eSports and gaming the schools, and the first of these will be a 64 player FIFA 14 tournament at Fairmont High School in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town.
This first event is only possible due to the sponsorship and support of Tritton Headsets (via their SA distributor) and MWEB GameZone, but expansion plans for 2014 are being discussed and we hope to announce more soon.

2up Gamers
It's the 2upGamers Community second anniversary event this Friday (29 November).

Trenchtown FIFA 14 Tournament
On Wednesday 30 November, 16 players (and a surprisingly high number of spectators) took part in (yes, another) FIFA 14 tournament. The event was run as a double elimination tournament and featured some familiar names, along with a host of new ones. However, it was one family name that dominated proceedings on the night – Morgan. The final was eventually contested between Keenan Morgan and Grant Morgan (winner of the EFL), and it was again the younger of the two that prevailed in the final. Grant took the match 3-2 to take R200 home for his effort, while Keenan came away with R100.

MWEB First Recon Tournaments
The Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty Ghosts 'First Recon' Tournament, hosted by MWEB and sponsored by Incredible Connection and Apex Interactive, has kicked off on both PC and Xbox 360. Well, all except the Xbox 360 Battlefield 4 tournament, which appears to have been a non-starter. The tournaments will run for a few more weeks, and the results are dripping in slowly so far.

What is the GamerNetwork? It's the old Xbox-360.co.za forums under a new name and with a new, all-encompassing focus. Some of the members are so old that they have turned to stone, but if you've avoided it in recent times due to its Xbox focus, go on back and have a look. You may be pleasantly surprised.

You know the first rule right? Don't talk about the Console Club. In this case however, feel free to. The Console Club is "a club established for competitive gaming on console". While that doesn't tell you much, TCC is an "E-Sports Club, has been formed to focus on competitive console gaming in South Africa, as well as internationally."
The club is an MSSA affiliated one which was started by Quinton 'Baroque' Davie, Ruan 'Mr Beefy' Kraft, Amaro 'Tackleberry' dos santos, and Hein 'Skoldzer' Gerber.
The Console Club is focusing on "PRO CONSOLE GAMING" and is looking for clan leaders and gamers who want to get involved to contact them.

Too often, our society tells us that anger is a "bad" emotion, an unwanted and uncomfortable feeling that results in an urgent desire to eliminate it as soon as possible. Just google the word "anger" and you will see a myriad of results that show images of aggression, screaming, yelling, and behaviors resembling angry outbursts. After all, anger gets our hearts racing, palms sweating, and fists clenching and creates an irresistible urge to correct it right away.
Anger is, in fact, a healthy and productive emotion that is an adaptive response to real or perceived danger. The experience of anger varies from person to person and can range from annoyance to becoming tearful to snapping at loved ones around you to full-blown rage. It is quite a powerful armour against other vulnerable and uncomfortable emotions such as fear, pain, anxiety, guilt, shame, sadness, and contempt. More often than not, anger is helping to mask some of these unpleasant emotions and to protect us from being vulnerable to them.
Feelings of anger can arise from a range of situations, such as being stuck in traffic, arguing with a loved one, conflict with your boss or co-worker, unhealthy family dynamics, a history of traumatic experiences, and anger-specific behaviors learned from our caregivers. While channeling anger in unproductive ways such as suppressing it, lashing out, or yelling at someone can be normal, there are healthier and more productive ways to manage your anger.
Learning to identify your anger is a significant first step. Ask yourself: what does my anger look like? Does my heart start racing? Is my breathing sped up or shallow? Are my muscles tense? Do I freeze or become numb when angry? What is my anger trying to tell me? What is it trying to protect me from? Am I feeling any one of the emotions listed above? Is there a different way of interpreting the situation or circumstance? What is my worst case scenario? What are some alternative scenarios?
The following tips can be helpful to manage anger in healthy ways:
- The 3Ds: Delay, Distract, Decide. Intentionally delay your anger response for 20 to 30 minutes. Engage in a simple distracting activities such as deep breathing (see below), taking a quick walk, having a glass of water, or simply reaching out to a friend. Decide how you are going to respond to the situation in a healthier way
- Slow breathing: Pay attention to your breath and notice the gentle rise and fall of your belly as you breathe. Do a quick body scan and notice any tension in your jaw, shoulders, hands, fingers, belly, legs, or toes and allow them to relax as you breathe. Count to 4 as you breathe in, pause, count to 4 as you breathe out and pause again. Continue this for a few minutes.
- Regular exercise: You don't need to necessarily go and lift heavy weights. Simply going for a quick walk or getting your body moving can do the trick.
- Colouring books: Get in touch with your inner child! Keep an adult colouring book handy or simply draw out how you're feeling (even if you draw stick figures!).
- Journal: Write and express your anger. How did the situation make you feel? Was there perhaps another emotion you were experiencing? Why do you think the situation/circumstance/person made you feel angry?
- Embrace your anger. Channel it into a productive conversation to express which of your needs must be met, to set healthy boundaries, or to simply acknowledge you are sorry for expressing your anger in an unhealthy or hurtful manner (we all make mistakes!).
Remember that anger is a perfectly healthy and reasonable emotion, and these tips are not meant to help you get rid of it. In fact, they will simply allow you to dial your anger down a few notches so that you can build a healthier, more productive relationship with your anger.
Thanks to our Anger Management facilitators Dhwani Joshi and Mike Weglinski for this guest blog.

Best Buy Endorses Retail Tax Legislation
Best Buy said earlier this week that it "welcomes" the introduction of a bill by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) which would set a framework for requiring online sales taxes.
"We applaud Sen. Durbin for his effort in recognizing the need for fairness in the marketplace and giving states the ability to collect sales taxes already due," Laura Bishop, Best Buy's senior director of government relations, said as part of the announcement.
"Currently, there is a perceived price advantage of 5 to 10 percent based on uncollected sales taxes. This effort by Sen. Durbin helps level the playing field by allowing all sellers to compete on the same terms. We look forward to working with Sen. Durbin and Republican leaders to move forward a comprehensive approach to addressing this fundamental unfairness in the marketplace."

With a new year upon us, it's the perfect time to start marking the calender with release dates. What follows are the seven I am most eager to see. Just missing the cut, though I expect to see them the weekends of their release are Pixar's Brave, Marc Webb's reboot Amazing Spider-Man, Will Farrell's Spanish-language comedy Casa de Mi Padre, and Sam Mendes at the helm for Daniel Craig's latest Bond installment Skyfall.
Prometheus (June 8) - While the Alien franchise hasn't delivered much worthwhile since James Cameron's Aliens, the return of Ridley Scott, the original film's director, to this universe has me eager to see what this prequel has in store. The cast includes Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Gut Pearce, and Idris Elba. Odds are it won't end well for most of them.
Marevl's The Avengers (May 4) - While crossovers are popular in comics and animated television series, no studio has attemtped something like this before. The two Iron Man movies, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America all take place in the same universe and have built to to this moment, which has the potential of blowing the minds of comic book fans the world over. Expectations are high for writer/director Joss Whedon, who is charge of assembling the film. If successful, look for DC Comics and Warner Brothers working harder to create a Justice League movie.
The Dictator (May 11) - Sacha Baron Cohen reteams with director Larry Charles for this film about fictional Middle Eastern dictator General Admiral Alladeen (Cohen) from the Republic of Wadiya. I am a fan of their mockumentaries, Borat and Bruno, and am curious to see how they handle a more traditional comedy.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (December 14) -I must admit, most early news left me a bit nervous about this project: the legal issues, the loss of Guillermo del Toro as director, the creation of two films out of the book (or else making one film connect to The Lord of the Rings trilogy), and shooting in 3D. But Peter Jackson and his team's work on the previous films earned them the benefit of any doubt. It will be wonderful to revisit the friends of Middle Earth and make the acquaintence of new ones like Martin Freeman as a younger version of Bilbo.
Wreck-It Ralph (November 12) - I knew nothing about this animated film until I discovered it at the D23 Expo last year and seeing a small segment turned me into a huge fan. Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) is the villain from the 8-bit game Fix-It Felix but longs for the love and adulation a hero gets. He heads off on a journey to disover if he can be more than the role he's been assigned.
Trailer: Not yet available.
Moonrise Kingdom (May 25) - Wes Anderson's name alone is enough to make it to the top of my "Most Anticipated" list. Co-written with Roman Coppola, the story is set in 1960s New England as a pair of young lovers run off and thrown a small town into turmoil. While Anderson regulars Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman are in the film, what's most interesting is the director is working for the first time with actors such as Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Frances McDormand.
Trailer: Not yet available.
The Dark Knight Rises (July 20) - What will likely be one of the most discussed and over analyzed films until its release as little bits of information leak out over the next several months, Christopher Nolan wraps up his Batman trilogy as Bruce Wayne battles Bane (Thomas Hardy) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) to save Gotham. Some fans are so devoted to the previous film, TDKR has a lot to live up to for them.
Did your favorites make the list?

Allergy, Cold or Flu:
Over 200 different types of viruses can cause a cold. Rhinoviruses, which means "nose viruses", are the most common cause. Respiratory syncitial viruses (RSV) and a host of others can produce colds. Of note, influenza viruses occasionally cause illnesses with symptoms of the common cold.
The three most frequent symptoms of a cold are nasal stuffiness, sneezing, and runny nose. Throat irritation is often involved (but not with a red throat). Adults and older children with colds generally have minimal or no fever. Infants and toddlers often run a fever in the 100 to 102 degree range.
Depending on which virus is the culprit, the virus might also produce a headache, cough, postnasal drip, burning eyes, muscle aches, or a decreased appetite, but in a cold, the most prominent symptoms are in the nose. (By the way, forcing a child to eat with a decreased appetite due to a cold is both unnecessary and unhelpful, but do encourage drinking plenty).
If anything, using the term "common" with cold is an understatement. Colds are the most prevalent infectious disease. Children average 3 to 8 colds per year (younger children and boys are on the higher end of the range). Colds occur mostly in the winter (even in areas with mild winters). In areas where there is no winter, colds are most common in the rainy season. Parents get about half as many colds as their children do. Moms tend to get at least one more cold per year than dads.
When someone has a cold, the nasal secretions are teeming with cold viruses. Coughing, drooling, and talking are all unlikely ways to pass a cold. But sneezing, nose-blowing, and nose-wiping are the means by which the virus spreads. You can catch a cold by inhaling the virus if you are sitting close to a sneeze, or by touching your nose, eyes, or mouth after you have touched something contaminated by infected nasal secretions.
Once you have "caught" a cold, the symptoms begin in 1 to 5 days. Usually irritation in the nose or a scratchy feeling in the throat is the first sign, followed within hours by sneezing and a watery nasal discharge.
Within one to three days, the nasal secretions usually become thicker and perhaps yellow or green -- this is a normal part of the common cold and not a reason for antibiotics. During this period, children's eardrums are usually congested, and there may well be fluid behind the ears -- whether or not the child will end up with a true bacterial infection.
The entire cold is usually over all by itself in about 7 days, with perhaps a few lingering symptoms (cough) for another week. If it lasts longer, consider another problem, such as a sinus infection or allergies.
While it lasts, the common cold is primarily a head cold. While you may feel tired or have aches, the illness is centered in the nose, and most of the symptoms are above the neck.

Walking through the mall I get compliments from high fashion stores as well as the fast fashion stores and everything in between. Naturally look in the closet and seeing the red skirt I thought to myself "oh yes, the rocker in me is coming out today." This is one of my favorite looks so far this year, what do you think?

I want to display the cumulative number of transactons of the current day and updating it each seconde or minute
Thank you for your help
Hi Abdel Aziz,
by default, an interval would just reflect the Tx count for that interval. In order for you to show an incremental value for the 'Day', we'd need to do some customizations, either to the record or display/query, to give us commulative number.
You can also store each interval's count to a csv file (using database with csv destination) and then script out the total number for the day. If this is something you'd like professional services at ir to do, I'd suggest reaching out to your account manager to get scoping and LoE determined.
Hi Shoaib,
Thank You for this response, I think to do this with Alert with a simple txt file destination and create a new user record to read from this file each 1 minute and display every 5 minutes, because the targets is to get a display with a new cumulative value each 1 or 5 minutes.
Thanks @Abdelaziz_AMAMR, best to reach out to your account manager, so we can scope the work properly and come up with a solution.

Jisc Collections Call for Library Participation | Open Library of Humanities
email@example.com 2014-06-29
"On Thursday 26 June, during the annual meeting of the SCONUL UK library community, Dr. Martin Eve (Co-Director of the Open Library of Humanities), launched the call for UK library participation in the platform's collaborative funding mechanism. Aptly addressing the topic of the 'Open Library,' the 2014 SCONUL meeting was attended by many prominent representatives of the UK academic library sector. The call for participation will enable the OLH to prepare not only for launch, but for crucial sustainability from day one. Our model of co-operative finance (the Library Partnership Subsidy scheme) and collaborative library governance, along with the sanction of prominent members of the global humanities community, means that a scalable approach to gold open access without author-facing charges moves one step closer. If you would like to learn more about the LPS scheme, please click here to view our information flyer for libraries. The call is administered by Jisc Collections, the UK's premier library content intermediary with an extensive portfolio of experience in open access procurement."

An economic recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. The U.S. economy has experienced 10 recessions since 1950, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Does this mean stock prices drop also? Not necessarily.
The most severe was the Great Recession of 2008-2009, and the mildest was 2001, according to Dan Roccato, president of Quaker Wealth Management in Moorestown, N.J.
On average, the market declines 5.3% during an economic recession. The worst drop totaled a loss of -36.4% and the stock market's best gain totaled +16.6%.
"We won't know we are in a recession until we have been in for six months. Hence, predicting one is a fool's errand," he said. "A genius would know exactly when to "sell" just before the recession and when to buy at the bottom. We don't know any geniuses. A savvy investor would hold on through the recession because the ensuing market recoveries were epic. Our clients did this" in the recession years between 2007 and 2009.
"The question I'm hearing more frequently is 'how do you recession-proof your portfolio?' First, it presumes that a recession is coming -- and soon. I know a recession is coming, but I don't know when, nor does anyone else. So, specifically rejiggering your portfolio to 'recession proof,' it is silly," said Dan Wiener, editor of the Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors.
Second, "the question assumes a portfolio protects you in a recession but won't leave you high and dry if the recession comes and goes and you mistime its ending, or the recession takes longer to arrive than expected."
Wiener examined the last three U.S. recessions, which occurred in the early 1990s, the year 2001, and the most recent Great Recession ending in 2009.
During 1990-1991, the best performing Vanguard fund was Vanguard Health Care, which rose 23.4%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Index gained 7.8%, and the average Vanguard fund gained 4.5%, including bond funds.
In the 2001 recession, which lasted only eight months, Vanguard Global Capital Cycle (formerly a gold fund) rose 28.3%, while the average fund gained 1.8%. The S&P 500 Index fell 1.0%.
Finally, during the Great Recession, Vanguard GNMA Fund, a bond fund, led the way with a 9.9% gain while the average Vanguard fund declined 22.2%. The S&P 500 Index dropped 35.0% during the same period.
Congress has to pass a budget to keep the lights on as of Oct. 1, and it's possible that the long-awaited Senate version of the SECURE Act will be tacked on to that bill.
We wrote a detailed piece on the SECURE Act in July, calling it the most significant legislation in years affecting Americans' savings for retirement. Key provisions include:
-- More time in IRAs and 401(k)s. The bill would push back the age for required minimum distributions (RMDs) from 70 1/2 to 72 years old.
-- Grant part-time workers benefits. Long-term part-time employees would be able to participate in their company's 401(k) plans.
-- Boost small-business 401(k)s. Small businesses could band together in group plans.
-- 529 plans. 529 plans would be expanded to pay for expenses related to an apprenticeship or to pay back as much as $10,000 in student loans.
-- Annuities. Would allow employer-sponsored 401(k) plans to add annuities as investment options.
Annuities are an expensive way to save for retirement, so beware of these products in your 401(k), some experts say.
"We welcome attempts by lawmakers to encourage Americans to save more for retirement. But the SECURE Act, which will enable firms to market confusing annuity plans with over-sized hidden fees, would place many investors in peril, and at the mercy of high-pressure sales," said Scott Puritz, managing director at Rebalance, which seeks to give investors endowment-quality advice at lower cost.
Under the proposed rules, retirement companies wouldn't need to recommend the most cost-effective products, he added.
"At a time when not enough people have enough saved for their old age, this initiative is counterproductive. Congress is poised to lead thousands of everyday investors into trouble," he said.
There's always a risk that the "guaranteed lifetime income" could turn out to be a mirage if an insurance company goes belly-up (Penn Treaty American went under in this fair state). Fears they could be left on the hook have prompted many 401(k) providers to steer clear of annuities.
Under the SECURE Act, retirement plans now have "safe harbor" from being sued if annuity providers went out of business or stopped making payments. If they're less likely to get sued, employers may offer annuities.
Consumer advocates warn that 401(k) investors and plans would turn to high-cost, lower-quality annuity providers.
Still, the bill could help people manage income in retirement more effectively. Wharton professor Olivia Mitchell noted in a research paper that the SECURE Act would encourage retirees to convert a portion of their 401(k) accounts at retirement into deferred annuities, her preferred insurance product. But she and her colleagues suggest that retirees put only 10 percent of their savings into those products.
Congress is pondering two versions of this legislation -- a House and Senate version -- that must be hashed out. The hope is passage takes place before 2019 ends. We'll keep you posted.

How to Know What Makes a Good Wireless Charger - The Definitive Guide
Having trouble figuring out exactly what a good wireless charger is meant to look like?
Confused by all the standards, specifications and wattages that are forced down your throat without any explanation of what they actually mean?
Despite the convenience that smartphone wireless charging provides, most people simply don't even know where to begin.
Well look no further, this is your all singing all dancing to guide on how to know not only what a good wireless mobile phone charger looks like, but more importantly how to know what charger is best suited to your needs.
We've created a set of criteria to look for in each product to help you figure this all out for yourself, and for those of you who don't want to do that much thinking, don't worry! We'll include these criteria in each of our product descriptions with our own personal mark out of 10. You're welcome :).
The Wireless Solution Quality Criteria
1. Charging Standard
For those who don't know, there are two different competing inductive charging standards on the market that are not compatible with each other (see our article for more info).
There surely can be nothing more frustrating than splashing out on a brand-new Qi wireless charger only to find it isn't inter-operable with your PMA enabled phone, so make sure you double check your phone's specs before purchasing a charger.
Fortunately, the inductive standards war is over after Powermat announced that all of their products from 2018 onwards will be built with the Qi standard baked in. This means that if your phone was released in 2018, its charging standard will almost certainly be Qi.
2. Charger Wattage (Speed)
For many the speed at which a charger will power up their phone is the most important factor when it comes choosing a product.
The metric used to determine this is the wattage it outputs, which should always be listed in the product description (if it isn't listed that should be a big red flag).
There is a great deal of difference between the slowest chargers on the market that output at 5W and the industry highest of 15W, the latter is three times faster so this difference is definitely noticeable.
Unfortunately for iPhone users, Apple have currently capped the iPhone at a charging speed of 7.5W, so if you own an iPhone it won't be worth purchasing a 15W charger. On the other hand, if you're a Samsung owner it might be wise to take advantage of the fact that you can charge your phone twice as quickly as everyone with an iPhone.
If for whatever reason you do land yourself a charger that has an output wattage higher than your phone is capable of handling, don't fret, Qi certified chargers will only output at a charging wattage your phone is capable of handling.
3. Qi Certification
Qi certification means that a product has been tested by Wireless Power Consortium approved labs and aligns with WPC charging standards. In other words, Qi certification is an official stamp of approval.
The WPC gives three things to look for when determining whether a product has been Qi certified:
- If the Qi logo is printed on the product.
- If the product comes with a Qi certificate that has a URL which brings you to its counterpart page on the WPC database.
- If the product is listed on the WPC database.
Here's a link to the WPC database where you can search manually for all the officially registered products. If it's not in the database, it's not Qi certified.
All our descriptions will inform you whether our products are Qi certified or not with a link to their certification if they are. While not all uncertified products are inherently bad here are a couple of risks you may be taking if you buy an uncertified product:
- The product may overheat due to energy wastage, which will decrease the overall charging efficiency and could potentially damage your phone.
- There is a chance that the charger may not even work with your device at all.
But, like anything, it's a spectrum. For some companies, particularly start-ups, the cost of testing their product isn't worth the benefit of having it certified. So, lack of certification isn't necessarily indicative of a badly made charger, it just provides assurance.
Bearing this in mind, if you are keen to save money or have an eye for a third-party product design that isn't certified, here are two tips to minimise risk:
- Research the reputation of the company. Chances are if they have good reviews and a good standing in the market they know what they're doing.
- Check to see if the company is a registered member of the WPC or if they have any other products that are Qi certified. Some companies will only register one of their products to demonstrate their competence.
4. Accompanying Cable and Plug
A significant factor in the price of a wireless charger is the presence (or absence) of a wall plug that comes with it which can change the cost of the product by up to as much as £20.
Having one is essential for first time buyers but is unnecessary if you already have a charger that comes with a plug, in most cases at least…
Unfortunately, some chargers use proprietary jacks that are unique and will not work with other plugs. This means that if you're buying another wireless charger you will need to make sure it comes with a plug as your old proprietary jack will likely not be compatible with a different charger.
And even if the charger doesn't use a proprietary jack, you will still need check whether your plug and charger support either Micro-USB or USB-C as these standards are not interoperable.
For those of you who currently have lightning cables for your iPhone, something to consider down the line is investing in an AirPower when (if) it eventually comes out, since it will enable you to use your lightning cable to power your charger.
5. Size and Aesthetics
The size and aesthetics of your wireless charger are very much a matter of preference, but they can have some functional implications for your product.
For example, chargers with a wider base (or cradle for stands) generally provide a more solid foundation to put your phone on. At the same time however, they can take up more room on surfaces.
Luckily, there are all kinds of sizes of chargers: circular pucks, square pads, rectangular stands, circular stands, charging bricks the list goes on and on so the right size charger really depends on what you're looking for.
In terms of aesthetics, there is a whole range of different looking chargers, some that are very simplistic with either a plain black or white colouration and some that use multiple colours or even a natural aesthetic that helps them to blend in with their environment.
It all comes down to what you personally like the look of. Having said that we will still try to provide our objective estimation of how good looking a charger is in our product descriptions.
6. Functionality
While 2-3 years ago you might only have found your standard charging pad for sale, these days wireless chargers come in a myriad of different designs with different functionalities.
Charging stands are now almost as popular as pads, mainly owing to the fact that they allow you to use your touchscreen phone whilst it's being charged.
Designs that you will see get good brownie points with us here at The Wireless Solution are those that can act both as a charging pad and a stand at the same time. These convertible chargers tend to provide the best of both worlds.
Other designs include, charging lamps, car mounts and even powerbanks that can charge your phone without being plugged in. Once again, this is partly down to your personal preference but we will try to provide an evaluation of how effective we think a design is in our product descriptions.
Some of the top brands take functionality to the next level and integrate cutting-edge features such as internal fans, precision resistors and improved shielding. You can be sure that we'll point these out in our descriptions.
7. Grip
One of the most underrated aspects of a wireless charger's utility is the grip it uses to keep both the phone and the charger itself in place.
Since having to position your phone correctly in line with a charger's coils can be (but shouldn't be with a good charger) one of the most frustrating aspects of using a wireless charger, having one that prevents your phone from sliding around can be extremely useful.
Moreover, it's just as irritating if the charger itself slides around, especially for those of you with OCD who like to keep your surfaces as organised as possible.
8. Positioning
Inductive charging is only possible if the magnetic fields of two coils are properly aligned, so as you can imagine the ease of aligning these coils can vary between charger designs.
Single coil designs are the most common in pads as this is cheaper, but they can prove frustrating when you are trying to align your phone. This has led companies to create multi-coil design chargers to increase the alignment area. This is potentially at the cost of some efficiency and a slight increase in heat but overall multi-coil designs are more useful.
These mutli-coil chargers can be arranged as follows:
- Reinforced coils: two or more coils in the same position can slightly increase spatial freedom (but not speed).
- Overlapping coils: two or more coils that are overlapping but perpendicular increases spatial freedom.
- Orientation coils: two or more coils in a charging stand which allow for portrait and landscape orientation of a device.
Another unique solution is one pioneered by Ventev, who recently demonstrated their sliding charger at CES 2018, solving the issue of positioning without the need for additional coils. We salute this kind of innovation, good job Ventev!
9. Indicator
Most respectable wireless chargers use some form of indicator to provide information about a charge.
Chargers can achieve this in different ways, but most tend to use an LED indicator which lights up when your phone is correctly in place. These can be found in different positions in the charger and can vary in colour, sometimes using a variety of colours to indicate different states of charge.
One downside to these LED indicators however, is that if the LED is too bright it can irritate those who charge their phone overnight. If this is the case for you then make sure to select a charger with a dull LED.
Alternatively, you could use a charger with a noise indicator, which works by making a sound when your phone is in position. The only disadvantage to these is that it's often harder to know if your charger has come out of position.
10. Charging Distance
Depending on your wireless charger there will be some variability in how far or through what thickness your charger can charge through. This distance should be between 2-8mm.
Whilst all chargers should charge your bare phone, the charging distance will matter for those who use a case and would prefer not to constantly take it off. If this is so, try to look for a mobile induction charger that has a charging distance of at least 1mm greater than the thickness of your case to ensure successful charging.
11. Price
Last but not least we have the price of the product. This is fairly self-explanatory, not only do you want to choose a charger that is within your price range, you also want to make sure that it's good value for money - this is the key.
We'll always do our utmost to provide you with the most competitive pricing for products on our store, the value for money rating in our product descriptions is based upon how much it costs us to source the product for you.
Take Home Message
As modern technology continues to improve and add more functionality it can be difficult to get lost and lose sight of what's important.
The platforms that market and sell products like wireless chargers often make this process even more difficult so we hope to have provided a bit of clarity with this guide.
Be sure that you will have made the right choice if you take all of these criteria into consideration, just promise us you'll read our product descriptions with all this juicy information in before you dive head first into buying the wrong charger.
Know that, armed with this information, you can choose the perfect product that is tailored to your needs so you can instantly start to feel the improved convenience that wireless charging provides.
Good luck and happy charging!

Will US Quitting Human Rights Council Help the Social Conservative Cause?
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 27 (C-Fam) U.S. withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council has long been on the wish list of some conservative organizations like the Heritage Foundation that hosted a masterful apologia by U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley last week. Social conservatives should pay close attention to the administration's next steps.
The changes in practice announced this week—moving human rights issues into the UN Security Council among them—may make it harder to contain the redefinition of human rights with harmful new meanings, something that the administration is trying to do.
Haley and her colleagues from the State Department signaled that leaving Geneva was part of a broader strategy. They seek to refocus international human rights back to civil and political violations, like getting "beaten up," and away from social change, such as "speech codes" that make people "feel better" they said. The political vs. social rights debate in human rights is a legacy of the Cold War.
The human rights debate is more a labyrinth than any time since 1948. The administration is not immune from the confusion this can cause. For example, it has taken a stand against false claims to an international right to abortion; yet it continues the promotion of new rights based on gender identity repeatedly rejected by the UN General Assembly. The administration will have to clarify the mixed messages it is sending other member states if it is to be successful in its new approach.
That raises the question of how quitting Geneva will affect that endeavor.
Haley called the Human Rights Council "the United Nation's greatest failure. She noted that the council has become one of many politicized UN committees. But this is not just because of its illiberal makeup and its hatred for Israel. Human rights are weakened by the explosion of human rights and of the groups promoting them.
No small part of the problem is the shift away from the council and from UN member states and to the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights. The office's enormous bureaucracy controls an even larger UN rights apparatus of treaty bodies and special mandate holders who have often pushed social rights to the extreme.
By moving to New York, Haley and her colleagues say they can better "keep an eye" on the process and that they plan to raise in the UN General Assembly's third committee those issues that they formerly would have brought to the council. Yet that committee's agenda is largely set by the council and by the office of the high commissioner in Geneva. The retreat to New York moves U.S. diplomats farther from the source of the problem.
Likewise, Haley said she will raise human rights in the Security Council because, "When we act to protect human rights we act to prevent conflict."
Bringing Geneva's contentious rights debates to the Security Council may usher the fox into the henhouse. Just this week the notorious Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women signed a pact with a Security Council-mandated office, the first time this has been done. This committee has long asserted, without authority, a human right to abortion. The new pact puts the committee one step closer to its goal of having authority over the UN Security Council on women's issues.
An additional problem is that the U.S. will have to horse trade with socially liberal European countries on the Security Council. Will the U.S. trade away life and family issues in order to gain support from Europe on issues in Syria and Korea?
The administration proposes trying to reform illiberal states through USAID funding of civil society groups and imposing sanctions on elites.
To restore the UN to a traditional understanding of human rights it will also have to engage with these same states in New York. Beltway conservatives will turn up their noses, but they should be realistic. These nations often pursue goals aligned with U.S. foreign policy because of the goodness and aspirations of their people, which despots have not destroyed.
They will further have to convince delegates to rehash debates their colleagues in Geneva already settled at the Human Rights Council—unless and until other countries follow America's lead and abandon it.

text: What are chimney cones? They're a popular street dessert from Prague — imagine a more atas version of our local ice cream sandwich, but served in a conical bready pastry. The smoking 'chimney' effect comes from the melding of cold soft-serve ice cream on warm, freshly baked cones, although in our climate, that hot and cold combo quickly turns into a melting mess. The good news is the firm bready pastry cones are resilient and won't sag or turn soggy. Popular European dessert chain Good Food Coffee & Bakery from Prague already has franchises in seven countries, including China and Dubai, and now it's here in Singapore, at VivoCity. If the dessert looks familiar, that's because it isn't exactly new here. Previous iterations include the now-closed Chimney.SG at Scape*. Despite a less-than-stellar history here, Good Food Coffee & Bakery franchisee Rayner is still confident his chimney cones will fair well. "I think Singaporeans will love it."

There's a great scene in Steinbeck's "Once There Was A War" where a naval cook wears a weary, discouraged expression, as if realizing that "there is no way to feed a man once and for all." I love that.
I have a dozen different ways of looking at a story, and with the new book, "Entanglement", I needed them all. I had to look at the tale from each character's position. Look at the characters from the neutral perspective of the events, as if researching a newspaper story. Broke the scenes out on 3X5 cards. Covered the wall in Post-It notes. Used outliners, mind-mapping, wrote the novel as a script, condensed it into a 3-minute pitch, a 30-second "elevator pitch", visualized it as a comic book, and told it backwards from the climax.
None of them worked. All of them worked. Each revealed just a tiny bit of what I'd not seen before. Needed every single one of them.
I have an obsessive compulsion to jigger with my workout routines, have filled notebooks with ideas about kettlebells, clubbells, martial arts drills, yoga, Tibetans, synaptic facilitation, visualizations and freehand drills.
With ruminations on the difference between health and fitness, of how my body and goals have changed over the decades, with the interactions of cardio, strength, agility, flexibility, mobility, balance, immune system strength, reflexes, and perception. What is efficient? What is effective? How must action and recovery be balanced? The illusion, one that I enjoy feeding, is that there is a "perfect" routine out there, and that I will one day discover it. Keeps me emotionally and intellectually engaged with what many consider purely a physical activity.
What is the meaning and method of success? My mother started me on this road by playing 33 ⅓ records of THINK AND GROW RICH, THE STRANGEST SECRET, THE GOLDEN KEY, PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS, ACRES OF DIAMONDS and AS A MAN THINKETH. Stuff wormed its way into my heart. But then what is success? Health? Happiness? Love? Money? Fame? Freedom? Balance? Evolution? Spiritual growth? Adulthood? Security..?
And what are the most important roads and methods to achieve it, whatever "it" is? Visualization? Goal setting? Raising energy? Managing emotions? Finding Allies? Modeling behavior? Constant action? Self-love? What are the best methods? What ratios of one to another? What syntax of performance?
If I accept the idea that the core will be found either in some combination of opening the heart and mastering the body, which is more important? How do you recover from the inevitable failures? How to handle temporary successes? What is the "I", and what is the word the "I" perceives?
All of this can be viewed as infinite complication, or endless fascination. It's up to you.
What I do know is that every day, EVERY SINGLE DAY, I awaken and feel my heartbeat, then find my child self and my inner elder. Love that little boy and listen to my inner wisdom. EVERY SINGLE DAY I perform my morning ritual of goal, faith, action (what do I need to do to have a perfect day today?) and gratitude.
EVERY SINGLE DAY I eat I work my body. EVERY SINGLE DAY I write a thousand words, and every other day I polish 25 pages. I also read 10X as much as I write (yesterday, a terrific Hornblower short story. But I'm leaning toward more Mark Twain…)
And every day, I count on it that life will throw everything at me, that if I don't remind myself who and what I am, and what my life is about and why I give a damn, that I'll be overwhelmed and bogged down and poisoned by the negativity constantly vomited at you by the media, by your environment, by what you remember of your history. I have to DECIDE to be positive.
And that means that every single day I use everything I've learned in six decades of life and research. Leave nothing in "the locker room." Every day is the Superbowl, and I'm the quarterback, the coach, the audience, and the owner of the team.
I never asked for an easy life: I asked for an authentic one. And all it takes to get everything I need is everything I've got.
Every damned day.

Press Conference by the Chief Cabinet Secretary (Excerpt)
[Provisional Translation]
REPORTER: My question is about the report of the committee that assessed the acts of terrorism in which two Japanese nationals were murdered. The report concludes that in responding to the incident, the Government made no errors that would have undermined the chances of rescuing the hostages. Can you please share your comments in this regard?
CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY SUGA: First of all, a meeting of the assessment committee was held. I also attended this meeting. The report contains the opinions provided by the expert members from a third-party and specialist perspective. As frank opinions were received, I believe the committee succeeded in producing an objective report which takes a third-party perspective on the assessment that the Government conducted. It is critically important that the Government takes the results of the assessment seriously, and that our future measures reflect the points raised by the intellectuals. To prevent international terrorism, the Government will bear in mind the results of this assessment and make all possible efforts to protect and ensure the security of Japanese nationals, including border control measures.
REPORTER: A short while ago, the Government announced that a meeting took place between the Prime Minister and the Chair of the State Duma of Russia. What specifically did they discuss?

Global health is a passion of mine and I plan on making it a big part of my practice as a physician. I thought I would do a little global health series on the Merck Manual Med Student Stories and talk a little bit about global health. First, I thought it was only appropriate to start with the actual definition of global health. What is it? How is it different from public health or international health?
Global health, public health, and international health definitely overlap a lot. Public health deals with the health of populations and works on making a population healthier as a whole. Internationally health typically deals with infectious diseases that are prevalent in a specific area of the world. Global health is the field of medicine that aims to improve medicine and increase access to healthcare worldwide.
So what does all of this mean for someone who wants to work in the field of global health? Well, it is important to figure out where your passion lies and where you can make the biggest impact. Do you prefer public health or international health? Do you want to work behind the scenes or in the field? All great questions to ask yourself.
People who do work in global health can do advocacy for global health initiatives from the comfort of their homes. They can get involved with the government and do work in global health diplomacy. Or they can go abroad and actually be in the field treating patients. The classic scenario that we think of when we think of global health. However, this is a little trickier and has a lot more consequences than you would originally think. And this is what I am going to be diving into in this global health series. Stay tuned!
