A trained journalist, Diane-Audrey Ngako is founder of the site "Visit Africa", an invitation to discover another Africa. After a childhood in Paris, she made a comeback to Cameroon where she founded her communication agency, Omenkart.
At 25, Diane-Audrey Ngako was considered in 2016 by the famous American magazine Forbes as one of the most influential under-30s on the African continent. «Only by doing what I love,» she says two years later. Since then, the young woman has confirmed her reputation: that of a 2.0 entrepreneur, creative and passionate about the arts. «I am a young Cameroonian woman with Parisian origins (laughs). I am what is called a creative entrepreneur shared between my job as director of the agency Omenkart that I founded, my fair of contemporary art and design Douala Art Fair and my website www.visiterlafrique.com.»
Talk about Africa from Africa
A trained journalist with an impressive career, Diane-Audrey began her career in 2012 with Africa Radio N ° 1-Paris, where this Cameroonian by birth has been living since she was 12 years old. «I talked about culture alongside the host Aïssa Thiam. That same year, I became editorial director of Roots Magazine, a free, print magazine dedicated to luxury and Afro-Caribbean culture. In 2014, I joined the editorial staff of the newspaper Le Monde to cover Africa and its youth. In 2015, I joined TV5 Monde's TV news team Africa as a columnist. After five years in the media in France, I decided to return to settle in Cameroon, my country of origin.»
The young woman finds it «more relevant» to talk about Africa from Africa. And especially to give another image of this continent still very poorly perceived by the Western media. This is the purpose of his website «Visit Africa». An interactive platform created in 2014 where Internet users offer their clichés on the African continent, but also travel diaries, chronicles on remarkable places or the daily lives of the inhabitants. An invitation to discover another Africa, more touristy, and creative, through Diane-Audrey's eyes.
A creative agency that shows Africa in the world
«I have never dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship has imposed itself on me! Cameroon and Africa in general are not immune to the entrepreneurial fever. Generally, in Cameroon creating your own business helps find a positive outcome to a difficult job situation such as unemployment. In my case, it is personal motivations that have nourished my desire to move into entrepreneurship: the desire to follow an ideal, the taste of the professional adventure, to have a sense of responsibility, to be an actress of my success. After my master's degree, I had a career as a journalist but I wanted to create an African communication agency with international standards ».
Determined to shake up her world by working on the image of the continent, she created Omenkart, a communication agency. «I launched in February 2016, my creative agency in the heart of the city of Douala, at Akwa. We assist companies such as Pernod-Ricard, Maison Castel, Societe Generale, BVS, Allianz … to develop their image on the continent. With my agency, I want to produce unique creative projects, aesthetic and especially adapted to the problems of Africans of the continent or the diaspora. »
«Culture must be what structures the continent»
Hyperactive, she works in the meantime on several projects including a book. "They call it Africa, we call it home, co-written with the whole team of Visit Africa and our contributors. I often like to say that culture should be what structures the continent and this book is part of this process. It is a collection of one hundred photographs from the Instagram account of Visit Africa. As the Malian photographer Malick Sidibe said: «Present the true face of Africa, of your brothers, because the world will not end now! »
She has also resumed studies by completing a second year of master's degree in strategic communication at Isefac in Paris. «I am also engaged in Africa in various associations fighting for the rights of Albinos and Pygmies.»
«Woman or man, we have a common problem : funding »
«Entrepreneur first and foremost», in her own words, she does not see being a woman as a brake. «I think very little about the gender issue but I am aware that it remains important in the public debate. Woma or man, we have a common problem: funding. I admit it, « this is even more difficult for a woman», she finally admitted before continuing. « At first, we must find solutions to reconcile our economic activity with our family life. Secondly, we need to encourage the networking of initiatives and skills to benefit from advice from people with experience in the business world». Still, for her, the sinews of war remains training. «It is imperative to improve the education system and women's access to training. In some African states, girls' enrollment is lagging far behind that of boys. »
Girls to whom she sends a message. «I often say three things: Just do it! If the opportunity does not knock on your door, create your own door. In the field of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm. In the real world, everything depends on perseverance » she concludes. A quote from the German poet Goethe which she made as her leitmotif.

Sports News of Saturday, 19 August 2017
Source: Ghana Soccernet
FC Zurich are demanding €15 million from Brighton for Ghana striker Raphael Dwamena, GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal.
The Swiss side are re holding out for €15 million but Brighton would want to pay €10 million for the services of the highly-rated striker.
The newly-promoted English Premier League side tabled the offer last week as exclusively revealed by GHANAsoccernet.com but was knocked back by the Swiss side.
GHANAsoccernet.com sources say the Swiss side will only allow the striker to leave nothing short of a €15 million.
However, the Seagulls remain interested in the Ghana international, who has seen a remarkable career rise in just six months.
Manager Chris Hughton is a key admirer of the Ghanaian, who joined FC Zurich from Red Bull Salzburg in January and scored an impressive 12 goals in 18 games.
The Swiss side bought the striker for about £250,000 just six months ago from Austria Lustenau and would have made a decent profit of £7, 750,000 if they allowed him to move.

Middlesbrough, Yorkshire Employment Information
Middlesbrough is one of the most important cities in the North East of England. Over the past few decades, the city has ...
Casual Delivery Driver / Rider Work
Door Assembler and Fabricator
Middlesbrough is one of the most important cities in the North East of England. Over the past few decades, the city has attracted millions of pounds in investment that have been used to revitalize the urban landscape and to create better and more appealing amenities and infrastructure. Middlesbrough is well connected to the rest of the UK and Europe, since there are three airports within 1 hour's drive from the city. In addition to a convenient location and a varied range of amenities, residents enjoy a low cost of living. At an average of £140,000, housing prices can be up to 70 per cent lower than in London, although they can be higher in newer dockside properties and in suburban neighbourhoods like Acklam, Nunthorpe, and Linthorpe.
Middlesbrough Job Opportunities
As also happened in other urban centres part of the Tees Valley, the local iron and steel industry was eventually replaced by a diverse economy where the most important sectors are shipping and logistics, chemical manufacturing, and engineering. According to a 2017 Centre for Cities report, jobs in Middlesbrough account for nearly 6% of all jobs in the Tees Valley. Having a service-oriented industry base, Middlesbrough has a fair share of retail jobs, especially considering that the city is the third largest retail centre in the North East. The city's labour market is also characterised by its large knowledge-intensive business services sector, which has a high concentration of legal jobs and roles in finance, and admin support.
Middlesbrough Employment Trends
Despite the decline in public sector jobs in Middlesbrough, a recent Tees Valley Economic Assessment report suggests that jobs in Middlesbrough are expected to experience significant growth in high-value sectors such as biologics, energy, low carbon, digital and creative, and advanced manufacturing. Key employment trends involve a decline in unemployment rates, an increase in the number of residents with Level 4 qualifications and above, and a surge in start-up rates. When put together, all these factors contribute to creating a solid framework for job growth and sustained economic development.

"Centres are created by companies that are already established in Slovakia," Rastislav Chovanec, state secretary of the Slovak Economy Ministry said at the first conference held by the Business Service Center Forum (BSCF) in mid May in Bratislava. "It is more than sure that their number will increase because Slovakia is moving to projects with higher added value."
The BSCF, launched at the American Chamber of Commerce in Slovakia (AmCham), organised the conference to raise awareness of this significant sector. Panelists from business, government and academia discussed the conditions for investment in shared services and outsourcing in the CEE region. They also examined various strategically important approaches for increasing Slovakia's competitiveness and enhancing its position as an attractive investment location in the foreseeable future.
The BSCF clusters 19 centres that are responsible for the execution of specific tasks, for example financing and accounting, IT support, HR and others, supporting the core activity of the company. Companies, that have launched such centres in Slovakia include Dell, Amazon, Siemens, IBM, Accenture, AT&T, Henkel, ING Bank, Swiss Re and T-systems.
In early 2015 AmCham Slovakia surveyed 19 business service centres, reflecting their status quo over 2014. During this period of time they employed 23,243 people, while their headcount increased by 10 percent over that year. On average more women than men work at such centres, while their average age is 31 years and 82 percent of them hold a university degree. Service centres have a lean management structure where only 9 percent of them are foreign nationals.
The majority of the centres are still clustered in Bratislava, but the position of Košice in eastern Slovakia is strengthening as investors are discovering the advantages of other locations.
In the context of central and eastern Europe, Slovakia is noteworthy for having a significant number of large BSCs that employ more than 500 or even more than 1,000 people, according to the survey.
BSCs in Slovakia are mostly mature centres that provide value-added services and sophisticated processes for their global or regional operations or for third parties (outsourced services). They provide financial services & accounting (89 percent), IT services (68 percent), customer services (63 percent), HR services (52 percent, sales and fulfilment (47 percent), procurement (42 percent) and others.
In terms of financial contributions to the Slovakia's economy and the state budget, in 2014 they paid around €259 million in employee income taxes and social security contributions. Moreover, BSCs pay their employees almost double the Slovak average monthly salary when these salaries have grown annually by 4 percent since 2011. The so-called weighted average monthly salary was €1,660 in 2013.
When answering a question why did a company establish a BSC in Slovakia, the surveyed companies listed availability of highly skilled and flexible workforce, favourable labour and production costs, geographical location and stable political environment. Among external challenges they face they listed, among others, availability of relevant skill set, quality language skills, linkage of university curriculum to practice as well as labour laws.
Theodore Sedgwick, the U.S. ambassador to Slovakia, also believes that international companies established in Slovakia will need a more educated work force.
"Slovakia has gradually been losing competitiveness in terms of having a cheap labour force, which is an asset acquired by other countries," said Sedgwick as cited by the TASR newswire. "It can be competitive in highly educated labour force, though."
"If Slovak students will be sufficiently educated for the workplace, then they'll stand a greater chance of getting a job at home," he continued.
Romana Kanovská, state secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports, pointed out that Slovak schools already have a degree of autonomy when it comes to the creation of study programmes.
"Employers can now directly enter universities and create student profiles," said Kanovská. "We expect a more intensive and effective participation on the part of employers in determining what kind of graduates they want to have on the market."
AmCham has been involved in the change of university curriculum for a long time, emphasising that universities must be "open and closer to business", according to AmCham Executive Director Jake Slegers. It was legislative measures in the field of labour and tax regulations that have worsened Slovakia's competitiveness, he said.
"We understand that some of the measures adopted by the government might have a positive influence on state finances, but this comes at the price of losing attractiveness compared to neighbouring countries," Slegers said as cited by TASR. "A lot of these measures are having an immediate impact, but many are of short-term effect and, more importantly, ill-advised, as longer-term impacts for Slovakia within the next 10-15 years have not been taken into account."
Slegers welcomed the option to issue longer term work permits for top notch employees from third countries. However, he finds it disadvantageous that Slovakia offers no exemptions for highly educated workers, who could have trained top notch employees at home and so prevent the brain drain from Slovakia.
"This is extremely important for companies that have been established here and have long-term been lacking top-notch employees," said Slegers.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Jan. 16 issue re: music at Princeton. Seeing your request for memories, I have a good one! My junior year, I got tickets late for the James Taylor concert, which apparently got moved to Dillon (the ad in your issue said the concert was to be at McCarter). My date and I were seated at the last-minute-added seats at Dillon, wooden seats along the stage. As I sat down with my date to my left, I noted an attractive, vaguely familiar hippie-ish woman sitting to my right, apparently unaccompanied (we were all "hippies" in those days).
So midway through the concert, James turned, looked right at the lady next to me, and started singing "Happy Birthday" to … Joni Mitchell! He invited her up to the stage, and they performed several songs together. It was great, and I was of course freaked out that I did not recognize Joni right away.
Oh, and my date enjoyed the concert as much as I did!

Rose of the Orient
Roja's Aoud United Arab Emirates is indeed something different! The grand opening belongs to the Taif Rose,that huge pink sweet aromatic rose that fills a room up with just one flower! Dipped in expensive oud,i say expensive because,as in the whole Roja Aoud collection you can sense the quality,it doesn't make your eyes water and your nose run like other oud based fragrances.The benzoin and the frankinsence make the blend so round and so deep that gives me goosebumps! The ylang ylang makes the mix a little dusty,but that doesn't mean it changes its structure.The taif rose sweetens the scent and makes it rise above any oud perfume i've ever tried.Of course the civet has a word to say in the drydown,but not strong ,just like a whisper.UAE is so luxuriant,so well made ,bringing to the table a longevity of 36 hours( tested) and a monster sillage,it goes over absolutely any other scent around. Expensive but well worths it!

Beer Symposium Today at Oregon
Here's a non-tax conference that sounds pretty cool: The Law of Beer Symposium is being held today at the University of Oregon School of Law:
It's not all malt and hops - Oregon's brewers face an array of legal issues from intellectual property law to fundamental constitutional questions. The 2006 Law of Beer Symposium features panelists from Oregon's Rogue Ales and the former director of Oregon Brewer's Guild. It takes place today at 7:00 p.m. in Room 110, Knight Law Center, 1515 Agate Street in Eugene. The event is sponsored by the Law and Entrepreneurship Student Association.
Is it just me, or is the 7:00 p.m. start time a tad unusual for a symposium? For more details, see here.
Unfortunately, Homer Simpson is not on the program:
- "Bart, a woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one."
- "Now son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for Daddies, and kids with fake IDs."
- "All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer."
- "Aw, there's only one can of beer left and it's Bart's."
- "You must love this country more than I love a cold beer on a hot Christmas morning."
I'm surprised you forgot this gem of a Homer quote, uttered after Springfield repealed Prohibition: "Beer: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!"

Worldreader has now an app on the Firefox OS marketplace, we met the marketing and mobile team to dive into this world where literacy for all is the mantra…
Firefox OS Africa – Can you tell us what Worldreader is about?
Worldreader – Worldreader is a global literacy nonprofit enabling reading everywhere in the world. With the mission of providing digital books via existing technology to every child and her family, Worldreader has reached nearly 6 million readers since 2010. Worldreader's digital library has more than 28,000 local and international e-books available via e-readers in schools and libraries in Africa and mobile phones everywhere.
F – Why did you decide to develop Worldreader Mobile?
W – Cell phones are widely prevalent everywhere in the world and that's why, in 2012, we decided to create a reading application called Worldreader Mobile. This reading app enables anyone, anywhere to access a digital library of books from their internet-enabled mobile phones, including the simplest of feature phones. Worldreader's publishing team works to optimize all Worldreader titles for these small screen sizes as well.
Worldreader Mobile allows readers to discover, read and collect free e-books in a variety of languages around the world–from storybooks to read to children, textbooks to help with students' assignments to important health information for mothers and parents. And people are reading! Every month, around 1 million readers worldwide are using Worldreader Mobile on their mobile phones and tablets to read and learn.
F – Tell us a bit more about your projects in Africa
W – In Africa, Worldreader reaches readers with mobile phones and enables reading in African schools and libraries through the use of digital books on e-readers. As of May 2015, Worldreader has delivered nearly 1.5 million e-books via 9,363 e-readers to 133 schools and libraries in 12 sub-Saharan African countries.
All of Worldreader's school and library projects start with a Worldreader BLUE (Building Literacy Using E-Books)
Box. Every BLUE Box contains everything needed to bring digital reading to a school or library: e-readers, e-books (100 per device) and training guidelines. Implementation models vary from individual, where every child has a device and the school permits students to take their e-readers home, to shared, where students share the e-readers in a classroom. The community model, delivered through BLUE Boxes for Libraries, is designed to serve members of all ages, from children to adults.
F – What are the advantages for an (African) Worldreader user?
W- The effects of digital reading in schools and libraries in Africa and on mobile phones everywhere are enormous.
Worldreader believes that literacy is a foundational skill essential to anyone's success in life.
Through our digital reading programs and efforts, Worldreader helps children, families and entire communities become more literate and educated.
We take pride in the fact that we are a research-based organization. We partner with like-minded organizations to enable digital reading in the developing world but we also measure the impact of what we do.
Additionally, Worldreader's digital library is comprised of over 28,000 e-books, the majority of those being books that have been carefully curated from publishers from all around the world, including Africa, to be relevant to our readers.
F – You are curating books from African authors and publishers, what were your last discoveries? What are the trending books in your African library?
W – It's hard to define what makes a library "African" – is it that the books are published by African authors and publishers or that the characters and setting are African? These are not always the same and often the most well known African authors are part of the diaspora which often publishes with Western publishers and occasionally sets their books outside of Africa in a context that might not be familiar to our readers. Conversely, a foreign author can publish a book set in Africa populated with African characters. They may even publish with a sub-Saharan publisher.
We like to think of our African library as our total library which we make an effort to fill with content that could be defined, in many ways, as relevant to our readers. Perhaps it is content that will help them master their Biology class or perhaps it is a book by an Ethiopian author published out of Ghana that will help them understand life in rural Ethiopia more. But it might also encompass a book published in India with themes and ideas familiar and interesting to our readers but a setting and character set that is entirely foreign.
In general our readers really like romance; however you'll also often see books like UNICEF's "Facts for Life" on the top ten and notice that people are reading the chapter about Timing Births. People also search for biology, the Bible and physics material constantly.
Some of our most notable recent additions include a book called Milk & Honey by Rosalyn Hardy Holcomb – though it's set in the US our readers can't seem to get enough of it. It's a romance novel. Our most popular recent addition is from Ghana and called "Some Popular Ananse Stories". It's published by Sam Woode. We also have a series in our top books now called the Eshuns that was written by Okanta Kate, a girl who started reading as a student in one of our schools in Ghana.
F – Could you tell us a bit more about the selection process?
W – We work with established authors and publishers in sub-Saharan Africa who themselves do a great deal of vetting before going to print. However, we also think about the needs of our readers. For instance we look for carefully leveled books in local languages for our school programs where early readers are just beginning to learn to read whereas for an older group we might consider whether or not they need material to study for exams or to help with job skills. As well, we look for content that is well written, and where possible, professionally edited and designed. In general we believe in making a wide range of content available to our users and work toward ensuring it is of the highest quality.
F – In which African local languages are your books available in? How many books do you have for African readers?
W – To date, we have books in more than 30 African languages including: Swahili, Luo, Luganda, Twi, Ewe, Ga, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Kinyarwanda, Shona, isiXhosa.
More than 2,200 books are published by African publishers; 24,541 books in English, French and Portuguese– three languages spoken in Africa and available for African readers.
F – Why did you choose the Firefox Marketplace to host your app?
W – Being an NGO with the 'books for all' mission, we share Mozilla's passion for making Internet accessible and available to everyone. Our strategy of using mobile technology and reading to improve the lives of millions lead into building a browser based application that works on any Internet-enabled device regardless of whether it's a smartphone, tablet, or a ten-year old feature phone. With the focus on opening up the mobile ecosystem for everyone, Firefox Marketplace represents a perfect place for the web version of Worldreader Mobile. Thanks to our partnership with Mozilla, Firefox Marketplace enabled us to put the Worldreader library at the fingertips of millions of Firefox OS users across the World.
F – Finally what is your big goal in the continent? We should celebrate it along the way!
W – Simple: empower every child, family, community in Africa to read books, and not just any books, but books that they need and want to read. We believe that this can be achieved with technology (and time!) and that the results will be life-changing for all of us: more literate societies, better health outcomes, less poverty and a better world for all of us!
Special thanks to Julia and Perisa for their answers and you, Firefox OS Africa readers, tell us what you think about this app and ask your questions! Comment below!

The boy's name Timothy \t(i)-mo-thy\ is pronounced TIM-oh-thee. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "God's honor". Biblical: Timothy was an energetic, well-trained young Christian who was a companion of Saint Paul, who wrote to him, "Let no man look down on your youth". According to tradition, he was martyred after denouncing worshipers of the Greek moon goddess Diana. 19th-century novelist Charles Dickens gave the name an lasting association in his beloved work "A Christmas Carol". The story turns on the fate of the crippled but ever-cheerful Tiny Tim, who greets every holiday season with the cry, "God bless us, every one!" The name was uncommon until the 18th century. Timoteo and Timo are Spanish forms.
I wanted to know the meaning of my first name so when I looked it up, I realized that it means "God's Honor". That seems very appropriate for who I am �???
charles dickens, dickens, god's honor, timothy, tiny tim, god's honor, meaning, baby, names

Will my phone eventually die because of the white around the edges
I replaced my iPhone 4S screen at the Skinz place in November and my phone is developing white around the edges. I was wondering if it could be from dropping my phone and if my iPhone would eventually die because of this.
Could you post a picture? This sounds like a faulty screen.
There is a photo now
Looks like the lcd is damaged, how bad was it when you first got it back!

Re: Need Help with Discworld II
This sounds like the same bug listed here. The current assumption is that there's a bug when you skip cutscenes that can result in the sound reel(s) being used not being properly released at the end, resulting in later game crashes when it tries to use more sound reels for new cutscenes than whatever's left. So for now, you may be able to avoid problems by not skipping any. Otherwise, I plan to have a look at it when I have some significant free time.. I suspect that it'll be complicated to figure out, and maybe require looking back at how the original game did things, maybe even manually try and debug the original in a debugger. I'm not looking forward to it

Re: Need Help with Discworld II
Ok from what I read in that Link, It is exactly as it happened to me. When I went to collect the chicken by using the corn with the beer and used the beer soaked corn on the chicken is exactly when this crash happened. Also the same occured also what was mentioned when using the Bricked possessed by the Fool on the Accelerater in the High Energy Facility so we know for sure it seems to happen at those 2 points in the game and maybe more? But I have been skipping dialogue with the ESC key to speed up in the game whilst gathering screenshots for sprites etc for making my own personal walkthough so that also may add to the problem but the fact the same parts of the game mentioned by others occurs with my playthrough too can't be coincidence.

A franchise with soul; Why Soul Origin isn't slowing down
From humble beginnings in 2011, Soul Origin has grown its three stores to 106 now trading nationally.
After being awarded one of Australia's fastest growing franchises in 2017, Soul Origin has exploded onto the scene serving food that is good for the soul.
The brand was born with a strong focus on fresh, quick and nutritious salads and sandwiches that are easy to grab and go, with equally impressive coffee that is made by in house trained baristas.
Coupled that with a customer experience that is fun, engaging and personal, Soul Origin has found their unique stride in the market.
In 2018, Soul Origin celebrated a major milestone at Casuarina Square with the launch of its first store in the Northern Territory. Following the successful opening in NT, the brand then opened their first two stores in Western Australia, on Hay Street in the Perth CBD and Belmont Forum Shopping Centre.
Chief operating officer, Adam Neill said, "we have had impressive growth, especially over the last four years and have no plans in slowing down. We have placed an importance on growing responsibly and strategically and not just for the sake of increasing our store numbers".
The recruitment process plays an important part in the expansion plans of the brand, with strict criteria in place to ensure the right franchise partners are recruited from day one.
According to Neill, "whilst growth is a key focus, so is ensuring we uphold the integrity of our franchise partner network by bringing on board new franchise partners who are aligned with our key values and who are passionate about the Soul Origin brand".
Regional growth is also proving to be a key focus, with opportunities in larger regional shopping centres around Australia.
In August, Soul Origin took its moveable pop-up store through North Queensland, rolling into shopping centres from Bundaberg up to Townsville, introducing the brand and concept to the communities.
With free salad samples and free coffee all day on offer, the product and business model were very well received, with locals excited at the prospect of a Soul Origin store opening soon.
The brand is currently in the late stages of rolling out a new smaller kiosk concept at Green Hills in NSW to provide its customers with specialty coffee and nutritious food on the go. This will open further opportunities where previously sites have been too small to host a standard size kiosk.
"We have significant expansion plans for next year and will continue to expand across all states," Neill said.
"We are excited to see continued growth amongst our existing franchise partner network and we are speaking with many of our franchise partners who are wanting to expand within the brand"."
With aggressive expansion plans scheduled for 2019, Soul Origin is on track for another exciting year ahead.

SINGAPORE - The heavy rain that hit many parts of Singapore yesterday was greeted with unbridled joy by Singaporeans sick of the recent dry spell.
The National Environment Agency's (NEA's) three-hour Nowcast, which tracks rainfall patterns, showed thundery showers across the island. This followed light showers on Saturday.
On Facebook, one user called Melly Mel wrote: "All the plants are rejoicing in this rain. 'Finally some water,' they say!"
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean posted a photo of himself standing in the rain: "Yeah! It's pouring in Pasir Ris Park after our community run this morning. Nice to get wet!" The post had garnered more than 730 likes as of 10pm yesterday.
The rain also cleared the haze. As of 8pm, the 24-hour PSI was in the 20 to 31 range.
The NEA said the showers were heaviest in the eastern and southern parts of the island, which received the least rainfall during the dry spell.
Showers yesterday also affected parts of peninsular Malaysia and central Sumatra, including Riau province, and no hot spots were detected in those areas because of extensive cloud cover.
Thanks to "improved conditions", the air quality for today will be moderate, and Singaporeans can expect thundery showers in the late morning and afternoon over the next few days.
The NEA had earlier said that more rainfall can be expected as Singapore heads into the inter-monsoon period. Even so, total rainfall for this month is likely to be below the March long-term average of 185.9mm.
Local weather researcher Winston Chow said the fluctuating weather conditions are not likely to continue, given Singapore's climate for this time of the year, as the weather context for the next few months is "favourable for humid, cloudy, and possibly rainy conditions, especially in the afternoons".
The dry spell started in mid-January, with February setting the record for being the driest month in Singapore since 1869.
National water agency PUB has been topping up Singapore's 17 reservoirs with Newater since January. Yesterday's rain "helped to increase water levels in our reservoirs slightly", said Mr George Madhavan, director of PUB's 3P Network. Although "some rain has returned", the public should continue to conserve water, he added.
A National Parks Board spokesman said the rain is "a welcomed respite and will help our plants recover".
For owners of local farm businesses such as Eden Garden Farm's Chan Yow Tiong, 63, the rain was a heartening sign, and one that was much welcomed. "My pond was about to dry up," said Mr Chan, who waters the vegetables in his farm with pondwater.
Other farmers including Mr Soh Chau Hian, 68, pointed out that yesterday's rain alone would not be enough to offset the parching effects of the dry spell. "The soil is still very dry," he said.

The kit runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. At a minimum you'll need
node.js (install instructions below) and a web browser.
This guide recommends additional software which will be used in later guides.
Software you need
You'll usually need admin access to your machine to install the software.
If you do not have admin access, ask your IT team to install the software for you.
GDS staff can install the software themselves with Managed Software Centre (MSC).
You'll need:
- Node.js 12.x.x
- Atom (text editor)
- Git bash (Windows)
You'll need a terminal application to install, start and stop the kit. Using a terminal is sometimes called 'using the command line'.
Mac users
Macs come with
Terminal.app. It's located in the
Utilities folder in the
Applications folder. You can also find it using spotlight (magnifying glass icon in the top right) and typing 'terminal'.
Windows users
This guide will use
Git Bash as a terminal instead of the existing
CMD application. Git Bash is more fully featured and uses the same commands as Mac and Linux, so instructions in this guide work for all.
git bash installs two things for you: a terminal (for entering commands), and git (used later to share your work with others).
Installing git bash
Download Git bash (direct download).
Install with all default options.
Entering commands in the terminal
Commands to be entered in to the terminal will be inset like this:
command to be typed in to terminal
Once you've typed the command, press enter to send it.
Node.js version 12 LTS
The kit is designed to work with Node.js version 12 LTS. The kit works with any 12.x.x version.
Check if you have Node.js
In terminal (git bash in Windows):
node --version
If it says
command not found or
Error 0x2 starting node.exe --version you don't have node and will need to download and install it.
If the version number starts with 12 you have the correct version installed.
If it says another number such as
0.12 or
5.x.x, you need to download and install version 12.
Download and install Node.js
Mac / Windows users
Download version 12 from nodejs.org.
Run the installer with all default options.
Linux users
Follow the instructions on the Node.js site. Make sure you get version 12.
Once Node is installed
You'll need to quit and restart the terminal to be able to use Node for the first time.
To check it is installed correctly you can again run:
node --version
If it's installed correctly it should show a number starting with 12.
Atom (text editor)
You'll need a text editor to edit and make changes to your prototype. We recommend Atom - which is free and has lots of useful features.

Roscommon woman given two year ban
Car was "swinging over and back" across the road, court hears
A County Roscommon woman has been handed a two year driving ban and fined €500 after being convicted of drink driving and having no insurance.
Caroline Duffy, of 50 Meadowbrook, Tulsk, Castlerea, Roscommon pleaded guilty to the offences after she was stopped by gardaí at Ballyminion, Longford on Christmas Eve last year.
Inspector Bláithín Moran said gardaí came across a grey Seat Ibiza driving in an erratic manner with the car "swinging over and back" across the road.
She said after gardaí stopped the vehicle and spoke to the driver, a roadside breath test was carried out which resulted in a fail.
Inspector Moran said Ms Duffy was arrested under the auspices of the Road Traffic Act and brought to Longford Garda Station.
The court was told Ms Duffy's alcohol level reading was 55mg per 100ml of breath, a result which carries a two year driving ban.
In defence, Frank Gearty said Ms Duffy was "not in the habit" of getting behind the wheel in such circumstances but was acceptive of how serious the charges before the courts were.
He added the mother of three said was now living in Roscommon, having previously lived in Longford.
"It was Christmas time, she had met up with friends and took a chance," he said.
Mr Gearty said Ms Duffy had settled very well in her new surroundings in Tulsk as he asked for the court too look as leniently as possible on her given the fact she had no partner to support her financially.
"She assured the court it won't happen again."
In disqualifying Ms Duffy for two years from driving, Judge Seamus Hughes also handed her a €300 fine for the drink driving charge.
A €200 fine and concurrent two year ban was also issued for the Section 56 charge of no insurance.

These set out the types of information we would expect particular types of authority to publish and list in their guide to information. For more details on using these, see our guidance on using the definition documents (pdf). Definition documents have not been produced for some smaller authorities as they have their own template guides to information, which are included below.
Central Government
Northern Ireland
Local Government
Other Bodies
Can't find your sector specific definition document or template guide to information ?
The ICO has now published a sector specific definition document for most public authorities. These documents accompany the new model publication scheme and are a guide to the types of information we expect authorities to proactively publish.
There may be organisations specified in Schedule 1 of the Freedom of Information Act, eg Advisory NDPBs, who feel their role is too specialised to adopt the Non Departmental Public Bodies definition document. Although we recommend this as a starting point the ICO will welcome any suggestions on refining this definition document to make it more appropriate to these bodies.

An interesting article found its way onto my reading list this week. It was titled, "Kill the Death Penalty" by Sunhil Dutta, [The Nation, Feb. 9, 2007] who just happens to be a Los Angeles policeman. Dutta wastes no time in identifying his stance on capital punishment – he's dead set against it, calling it "a vestige of medievalism." Yet it comes as no surprise that most of his fellow law enforcement officers nationwide take a countervailing position, since they too see death by violence close up and personal on a daily basis.
Dutta goes through a litany of unspeakable homicides that he has dealt with: gang violence, murders committed by the worst of psychopaths, murders of children and the old and infirm. He also has beheld the aftermath of murder that quickly descends on the victim's family. For some families, it generates feelings of revenge and vindication; for others it begets feelings of hopelessness and psychic wounds that never heal.
Having said all this, including the fact that members of his own family have been homicide victims, Dutta announces that he still "firmly opposes the death penalty." Google the terms "death penalty" and "capital punishment," and you will happen upon thousands of hits on the Internet. You will also learn that two-thirds of Americans (68%) support the death penalty for people convicted of murder (Pew Research Center for the People and the Press).
The pros and cons of capital punishment have been enumerated so many times, that to recite them here would pose a very real risk of the reader's eyes glazing over. The strongest arguments against the death penalty (with the exception of religious beliefs, for which there is no rebuttal) are the whimsy of the criminal justice system, and the prospect that rehabilitation is somehow possible for inmates of death row.
Those who favor the death penalty have two preferred points of view: the straightforward position that one who takes a life must lose his; and the avowal that some murders are so horrific, so bestial, so unspeakable, that upon conviction, the death of the perpetrator is the only reasonable outcome.
As mentioned earlier, murder has an enduring and chilling effect on the victim's family. Some behavioral scientists have said that a murderer establishes a kind of supremacy over the family – a dominance brought about by the unwanted violence visited upon the victim's next of kin. If the murderer is eventually allowed to go free – or if that possibility exists even remotely – the derivative harm and suffering will continue.
Yes, down through the centuries innocent people have been executed. But many more have received the death penalty after a fair trial by their peers for a litany of crimes that make the skin crawl. And for those who argue that no one has the right to take a person's life under any circumstance, where would we be today had we not lifted a finger to challenge Nazi totalitarianism or Japanese imperialism? Using deadly force against a member of a foreign country's army or a neighborhood street thug is fully comparable. Only the locale is different.
Dutta could have asserted his point had he stopped short of the following slur: "Our criminal justice system has corrupt prosecutors, lying crime-lab analysts, and crooked cops and judges who have railroaded innocent people onto death row." Here, we are confronted with the old, rickety argument that if mistakes are made, and a single innocent defendant stands to be executed as a result, it would be far better to fling open the prison doors to all accused of homicide rather than carry out one dubious conviction.
The widespread and increasing use of DNA – using genetic information to resolve issues ranging from paternity tests to identifying a victim's slayer - is making errors in criminal convictions more and more improbable. In one of the most unlikely instances of mistaken identification, the remains of The Unknown Soldier of the Vietnam War, buried at Arlington National Cemetery, were identified through the use of DNA. The remains of Air Force pilot Lt. Michael Blassie were then removed from the Tomb of the Unknowns and reburied in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
In many instances of improperly carried out executions, the argument has not been that the accused was innocent, but that some quiddity of the law occurred during the trial process. The issue of race is also being defused. Since the death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court in 1976, more than half of those under sentence of death have been white.
So no matter what the challenges to the death penalty – an imperfect criminal justice system, the possibility of rehabilitation, corrupt judges and policemen, or racism – these are not in themselves compelling enough to invalidate capital punishment altogether. Capital punishment is the redemption of a contract society owes to all human beings: to protect them and to guard posthumously their dignity, by taking the life of those who took their lives.

Focus: Will Smith Ready to Fight Back With Cool Thriller Following After Earth Failby Joel D Amos at . Updated at . Comments
After Earth arrived in 2013 and was widely considered a failure. For Will Smith, that one hit hard. And now that he's back on the screen in the con-man thriller Focus, he's ready to turn the page.
"For me, this film really marks a transition in my life, emotionally and in my career. After the failure of After Earth, a thing got broken in my mind. I was like, 'Oh, wow, I'm still alive. Actually, I still am me, even though the movie didn't open at number one. Wait, I can still get hired on another movie.' In my mind, my entire Mr. July, Big Willie Weekend, number one for eight in a row all collapsed," Smith admitted.
"I realized that I still was a good person. So, when I went into Focus, I completely released the concept of goal orientation and got into path orientation, with this moment, this second, these people, this interaction. It is a huge relief for me to not care whether or not Focus is number one or number ten at the box office. I've already gained everything that I could possibly have hoped for."
Smith compares the art of acting and making movies to a millennia old art form, and it clearly has him in a moment of Zen unlike any other time in his life. "It's just painting. I'm going to paint. Some paintings are going to be fantastic -- others are going to be not so good. But I no longer measure the quality of myself on whether or not somebody else thinks what I painted is beautiful."
As teased in the Focus trailer, Smith plays a con man who meets a woman (Margot Robbie) who aspires to get good at the cunning life of crime. He takes her under his wing and the audience gets to go on a beautifully shot, thrilling and dare we say romantic journey where everything is not what it seems.
"For me, the huge take-away from this film is how everything is perception and how reality almost does not matter, at all. When you're talking to a person, it only matters what they are perceiving. You only need them to perceive you as a loving husband. You don't necessarily need to be one," Smith said. "What people are perceiving will dictate what their life is, and ultimately what your interaction is."
Without giving anything away, there is a scene at the Super Bowl that is a con that the audience thinks is getting wildly out of hand. It is one of the more thrilling moments we've seen Smith in on screen (even more than when you watch Independence Day online).
"I think that Super Bowl scene is probably going to end up being the signature scene of this movie, and it's just so clever. We say the word con, but it's so far beyond a con. It is a deep and powerful perception of how the human mind works. It's human behavior," Smith said.
"Those ideas are just so intriguing and exciting. And as an actor, you're playing one scene, but then there's another scene, that's the real scene that's actually going on. And beneath that, the audience is getting played, at the same time."
See, the crux of Focus is never believe what you're watching. But, since you are witnessing it on the screen, your brain will think it's real. But what is real and what is the con may have the slimmest of lines. Can you tell we enjoyed the movie? Yes, "Will Smith the movie star" is back.
Smith was asked about if being an actor is at all like being a con man.
"Part of what was exciting for me about taking on this role is how everybody is running a con. Everyone wants to be perceived a certain way, to gain the things that they have decided are the things that they want in their life. And at the center of this film, there's the idea that lying and loving don't go together," Smith reported. "Everything is a con."

Jul 8, 2019
so I have been a loyal Bose customer for over 15 years.
I have purchased
2 Lifestyle systems;
Lifestyle room extension
5 Sounttouch products; and
the new S500 speaker.
When will I ever learn?
Not one of these products is
backward compatible;
none of them are interoperable;
soundtouch app doesnt work with Samsung android phone
S500 product appears to be a rushed product (no google home in Australia)
S500 has to be used by the phone, the unit doesnt even allow you to turn it off or mute it. You have to locate your phone to make it useful.
S500 NO release date for google home
and the list just goes on and on.
Bose, get your act together. Alos consider you existing customers and their need for interoprability rather than just trying ship new product.
Sonos here I come
Hi Steveb0711,
Thanks for posting and thank you for the feedback.
I appreciate this feedback and will be passing this onto our development team for you. In regards to your issue with the app are you not able to launch the application at all?
Kind Regards,

Samsung Galaxy Creates Tablet Surfboard for Gabriel Medina
Gabby Medina now has a tablet in his surfboard compliments of Samsung Galaxy. Kinda cool, probably surfs like a dog. This could be good on those long lulls between sets. Catch a few minutes of the OI Rio Pro in between or maybe Stab's Tour Notes. Who knows? Pretty soon it'll just be implants in our heads. We're doomed.

You see, two of the characters, jamesbarrett's hotshot-pilot-former-smuggler Martin, and hantamouse's haggle-happy-Mr.-Fixit-Squib Rumzhin, have the Force Sensitive feat, but no Jedi training. laurie_robey's Padawan Kira Windu (niece of the late Jedi Master Mace) has been keeping an eye on them per instruction from Luke Skywalker, to see if they were Jedi material. sirfox's heavy-armor-and-blaster-rifle-guy Orim, on the other hand, has no Force ability at all.
Most of the party reached 5th level last time; this means that soon Kira is due to graduate to full Jedi status. Last session, Luke asked for her final report on the trainability of Martin and Rumzhin, and her opinion was that it was worth a shot. Now Luke is not about to let an opportunity to give Kira some training of her own at this stage go by, so the three Forcey characters are all going to go off to the dark corners of Yavin IV to do Jedi Stuff ... leaving Orim cooling his heels out in the parking lot.
Well, that doesn't make for much fun for sirfox that session, so he gets a personal-quest-type mission of his own, leaving us with three concurrent storylines: Martin and Rumzhin getting tested for acceptance as Padawans, Kira going off and having one or more of her trials, and Orim off in an X-Wing on some special op. To be properly Star Wars-ish, all three of these should tie together in some thematic way, even if it's a very simplistic one (e.g., Luke being frozen at the beginning of Empire vs. Han being frozen at the end).
It's going to be an interesting challenge as a GM and as a storyteller, not just to come up with appropriate things for the characters to do, but to do the in-session storyline juggling necessary to keep it interesting for all players.
Fortunately for me, sirfox has a bit more of his D&D to run, so I have a little more time to prepare! :D

Reading SHT21 Using TI MSP430 LaunchPad
SHT21 is a neat little temperature and humidity sensor from Sensirion and I have used it in a couple of my Arduino projects before. Given that the Vcc is 3 V for these sensors, interfacing with a 5V ATMega chip would require an I2C level translator (or alternatively, you could run the MCU at a lower clock frequency and use the lower Vcc). Since TI's MSP430G2 series MCU runs at lower voltages natively, it is actually a lot cleaner to interface these 3V powered I2C devices. Continue reading 'Reading SHT21 Using TI MSP430 LaunchPad' »

For the month of April, we will be reading through a few books of the Bible!
On this plan, we will start by read Colossians which will be a fantastic opportunity for us to learn this book as we study it together in services.
Next reading Romans will help give us a further love an appreciation of the gospel, which is always a good thing. We'll then return to Colossians, which will be a great way to review this book and further learn about our identity in Christ, and we'll finish with Galatians, an excellent tie in with Romans.
I hope that you'll read the chapter of the day with us every day, and be sure to be looking for updates and other important information.

Bing Ads rolling out new System Quality Policy, expects little impact on performing campaigns
The updated policy is primarily aimed at clearing out non-performing keyword and ad bloat.
Ginny Marvin on August 8, 2017 at 9:38 am
This week, Bing Ads is rolling out a new System Quality Policy as part of the Relevance and Quality Policy.
There are three key aspects to the new policy:
- Keywords and ads that haven't shown any performance over a significant period of time may be removed.
- The number of keywords that can be uploaded or kept in an account may be limited. (Advertisers subject to this update will be notified.)
- Keywords in the following sensitive categories — weapons, pharmaceuticals, gambling, adult and trademark — may be limited.
Bing Ads expects the overall impact to be minimal. "Limits placed on the amount of keywords uploaded at one time are meant to increase efficiencies with review and processing, potential impact caused by this is anticipated to be low," wrote Bing Ads advertiser policy manager Melissa Alsoszatai-Petheo in the announcement. "We do not expect to see significant impacts for additional restrictions that may be put in place within sensitive categories."
We're listening.

What Has Happened to Our Drinking Water?
There is a known secret that really needs attention in this country.
California, Florida, Baltimore, Detroit, Flint are in the news with reports of their drinking water being tainted.
Flint brought into focus with"Flint Lives Matter" T's, alerting the nation, saying: "What about us, our water is really toxic."
People see it wonder who us to blame and then go back to minding their own business.
The Big Q: Someone's in charge, right, Who?
Whoever they are people imagine they are doing a good job at keeping America's drinking water clean, yet if you have your water tested you may be shocked at the results, as toxicity can be colorless and odorless.
"The hardest part was to get the regulatory agencies to do their job even though they had the law and regulation on their side — whether corruption or human laziness, they didn't want to act." —David Peifer
Here is the under-reported secret:
By the power of their silence, the municipal water companies, boards of health, environmental organizations, and state agencies are hiding how serious this is. Governments generally want to give you positive information, and if it's bad, they want to provide the solution. Their silence may only mean they do not have a solution.
Maybe your house is the problem. The water from the source, the water company, could be safe, but your residence could be acting like a giant "flavor straw." The pipes inside your home could be leaching toxic chemicals into your drinking water, similar to what's happening in Flint, New York City, etc. The same for the local restaurants you frequent.
Did you know: When taking a shower or bath, the toxins in the water atomize and you're breathing them in. Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) evaporate easily from water into air at normal air temperatures. These may be harmful to the central nervous system, the kidneys or the liver, and may also cause irritation when they contact the skin, or may irritate mucous membranes if they are inhaled.
Some VOCs are known or suspected carcinogens.
The Big Q2: Where is the media?
They have a responsibility to the public to report on the water crisis. The media and the government are fostering the same narrative of picking inconsequential issues instead of catalyzing action nationally and placing the water crisis on the national public agenda. This is a public health and safety issue and affects everyone's lives, and should be covered with the same relentlessness as the political and celebrity gossip stories.
The administrations of Messers Hussein Obama, Bush (43), and Clinton ignored this issue and kicked the plastic water bottles down the road. We all suffer today from their inaction.
Without the MSM consistently reporting on the water crisis, it is and will continue being overlooked.
As they serve as a Key link in the risk communication process, and they need to step up and use their power to mobilize society with accurate information so we can protect ourselves. With the audience being nationwide and of different social determinants, cultures, and languages, they need to be prepared to present this information properly.
"A diverse and active industrial past and all kinds of chemical contaminants in our soil have left 84 thousand chemicals in use today. These were created after the clean water act was enacted. We have standards for only a handful of those, in most cases we don't test for them at all." —David Peifer
Testing is tricky.
The Big Q3: Who is testing the water, how often, and what are the testing standards?
There are not that many water quality labs around the country to test the water properly, and while the local pharmacy tests for a few things they do not test for everything. We may not even know what to test for, as it varies by area. Depending on the manufacturing plants nearby water may be exposed to different toxins than another town or state.
There is no single solution..
"It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities." —Josiah Stamp, British Businessman
We all have the power to make a change. Once you realize the level of personal responsibility incumbent upon everyone, you must act. Reach out to your respective cities and states water departments to see what tests are being conducted and what tests are required, and contact your elected officials and ask them.
The responsibilities of our health agencies have not yet caught up to the reality of the problem. There are many states that still don't test for basic heavy metal carcinogens such as lead. They remove some elements, yet there's no safe level for lead.
On 20 August 2018, via e-Mail correspondence: "The Maryland Department of Health does not collect data on lead in drinking water." —Clifford S. Mitchell, MS, MD, MPH Maryland Department of Health
This after lead was found in schools in Maryland.
The whole international inertia is making people responsible for their own health and knowing the quality of their own drinking and bathing water.
After a rain, what goes down the drain directly to the stream somewhere is oil and grease, rub off of tires, brake pads, deteriorating asphalt, plastics straws, bags, cups, and direct runoff from lawns.
It may be time to simply not care about the water quality but to go looking for a different water source. The only way to get clean water may be in the atmosphere.
Yehuda Kaploun, President of Watergen USA, a firm that uses atmospheric water technology says, "Children have the right to be provided with clean, safe drinking water." He states that Watergen is a solution to this grave problem. Our technology is the future of clean water.
It just may be that the last safe source of drinking water might be in the air we breathe, if there was only an efficient way to extract the water from air in a safe, secure, environmentally safe way. Water from the ground has been contaminated, and water from the air is almost pure.
Watergen is one of the few companies that utilizes an extraordinary atmospheric water-generation technology device that produces clean drinking water from ambient air that is devoid of impurities. Each home, office, and business can generate its own water. Their seemingly miraculous system is field tested and is already transforming the lives of those where clean drinking water is a precious commodity.
Efforts must continue by the government, including monitoring, testing, scientific research, and application of the best technologies to remove the contaminants, whether the economy is doing well or not. People would respond to government leadership that would hold itself out as caring about the water.
You can support political candidates and decision makers who express a willingness and understanding of the problem so they develop the proper programs at the scale where it makes a difference. Question politicians and make sure the environment is high on the priority list.
Finding a clean water source immediately such as atmospheric water generation while this problem is worked out is a basic necessity. And let's understand how natural systems work. This can get us further faster and a lot cheaper.
"Most of the water in North America was completely drinkable 200 years ago when the forest filtered the water streams not loaded with things that don't belong in the streams." —David Peifer
According to National Geographic, "While nearly 70% of the world is covered by water, though just 2.5% of it is fresh. The rest is saline and Ocean-based. Even then, just 1% of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields.
Bottom line, only 0.007% of the planet's water is available to fuel and feed its 6.8-B people."
The Big Q4: Will you be one of the lucky 0.007% of clean water drinkers, or is s this a lottery system where some win and some lose?
It doesn't have to be, so lets get to it people and take the guesswork out of our water safety, then we can all win.

Mixing class-leading surround sound quality with the power to thrill, the Arcam AVR550 brings home cinema to life.Power boostWith multi-channel power up from 60 watts per channel (AVR390) to a mighty 90 watts, the AVR550 delivers smooth, effortless power. The 50% increase in power not only improves music and soundtrack dynamics but also fills larger rooms more easily. That extra drive comes in handy for less efficient speakers, too.The Arcam sound differenceUsing audiophile-grade components, the AVR550 delivers quality to match the power. At the heart of this Arcam AVR is a toroidal power supply. Unusual for an AV receiver, this type of power supply is more usually only found in high-end stereo amps. It helps the AVR deliver smooth, dynamic sound that works equally as well with music as movies.Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with decoding up to 7.2.4 for totally immersive soundDolby Atmos and DTS:X are now well established as providing truly immersive sound through ceiling or up-firing speakers. The Arcam AVR550 offers both systems, giving a 5.2.2 system with twin ceiling or up-firing speakers. This, however, is just the start. With processing for 7.2.4 channels, you can add a 4-channel power amp (or two stereo power amps) and not only double the ceiling speaker count but also add additional effect speakers – giving total sound immersion.IMAX Enhanced TechnologyIMAX has partnered with DTS and award-winning Hollywood sound mixers to deliver stunning levels of sound quality. Only the highest quality home cinema equipment meets the standard. IMAX enhanced content is due on HDR streaming and UHD Blu-ray and promises to offer the next step-up in sound from the already impressive DTS:X.Wide-ranging connectivityFeaturing seven HDMI inputs and three outputs, the AVR550 handles the most complex AV systems. The six HDMIs are HDMI 2.0a and HDCP2.2 compatible (for UHD 4K sources) with the seventh being MHL compatible (for connecting a smartphone). Other inputs include six digital and seven analogue (with a front-mounted 3.5mm AUX) inputs, making this Arcam AVR hugely adaptive to all types of sources.HDMI Zone 2 outputTriple HDMI outputs make the AVR550 even more versatile. Use two of the outputs within the same room for connecting a TV and projector simultaneously. The third HDMI is independent, making it ideal for sound and vision in a second room (HDMI2.0a/HDCP2.2 compatible).Dirac Live for Arcam gives you the very best sound in your roomFor the very best sound in your room, Arcam has included powerful room correcting technology from Dirac Research. This uses a microphone and dedicated software to take multiple readings around your room and feed the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended).Network controlConnect to your network via Ethernet (wi-fi not included) and you get access to a wide range of networking features. These include UPnP (Universal Plug n' Play) for streaming from other network devices, Spotify Connect (requires Spotify Premium account) and Internet radio.Internet, DAB and FM – all the radio you needInternet radio opens up access to a choice of hundreds of radio stations from around the world. Backing this up, the built-in DAB and FM tuners give wide-ranging access to all your favourite stations, including popular digital only stations, such as BBC 6 Music and 4 Extra.MusicLife iOS control appIf you have an Apple iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad, then you can take full control of streaming music to your Arcam device with the MusicLife control app. It lets you stream music directly from your device as well as servers or computers connected via UPnP (Universal Plug n' Play). The latest version brings Internet Radio, Podcasts plus streaming from TIDAL and Qobuz. Advanced features, such as library searching, sorting, shuffle and repeat playback are also catered for.Power and quality come together, to make the Arcam AVR550 an unbeatable AVR.
