RHA is a name that fans of high-end in-ear headphones should know well, and for good reason. We've reviewed the T10 and T20 from them in the past, and while they're certainly up their in terms of pricing, they have excellent sound and build quality. Not everyone can afford, or simply sees the need to, spend quite so much on a pair of in-ear headphones, and so this is why the British company now offers the S500 (available as the S500i with a microphone and controls). These retail for around £40 in the UK or $40 in the US of A, so these are clearly a more budget-minded offering, but do they deliver at this low price point?
Features and Specifications
- Micro dynamic (model 140.1) Driver
- 16-22,000Hz Frequency Response
- 16 Ohm impedance with 100 dB sensitivity
- 1.35 meter dual-material cable, 14g total weight
- 3.5mm gold-plated connection
- 6 pairs of dual-density ear tips – S x2 / M x2 / L x2 with 1 pair of double-flange tips in S
- Carrying pouch included
- Clothing clip included
Design and Build
If taking at the feature list for these wasn't apparent enough, these are light and easy to wear day-in, day-out. That's because they're designed to be as such. The S500 are a pair of in-ear headphones that are practically polar opposites of the more expensive T20 or even the not-so-expensive MA750. These are tiny by comparison, and you feel how light they are in your ear, it's almost as if there's nothing in your ear (but more on that later). The cable is an interesting one, the majority of it is fabric, which feels good and is nice and light, but when the cable splits in a Y-shape, the cable becomes thinner rubber. This isn't much of an issue, but it is an interesting design choice on RHA's part. Still, not one part of the cable feels cheap in any way. The 3.5mm connector feels solid, and if you plump the S500i with the microphone, that is worked into the cable really quite well for something of this price.
As for comfort, the S500 sit okay in my ear. I say okay, because they could be much more comfortable. If you take a look at the images below, you'll note that the earbuds themselves are almost twice the diameter of the driver housing. This causes – even the smallest size – earbuds to sort of rest in your ear without much security, pushing them in further just results in discomfort. I guess RHA could have provided an even smaller size to help with this, but unless your either sitting still or not moving very quickly, the S500 just aren't big enough to fit in your ear securely 24/7.
All-in-all, at this sort of price point, this is a good effort from a firm more comfortable asking over three times as much for their best product, but a larger footprint in the driver housing would probably solve how they rest in your ears.
Sound Quality
As we keep on saying, RHA is a firm more used to offering up in-ear headphones that cost more than twice as much as the S500 do, so I was weary when I first started listening to them. Sadly, my fears were confirmed. Over the past couple of weeks that I've been using these here and there, I cannot bring myself to use them for long, extended listening. This is because the overall sound signature here is "thin" and "tinny", which are words I never thought I'd be writing about a pair of earphones from RHA.
It's not all bad however, as there is bizarrely some decent response in the lower-end of the spectrum, and bass notes come through fairly well, but it's more of a tubby thud than the resounding punch of other earphones. The best way I can describe the sound of the S500 is that it's a V-shaped signature. By this I mean that there's a decent response at the bottom end of the spectrum, and at the top end, giving you lots of lows and lots of highs as well. The mid-range however, just isn't here, which means that while there's a lot of detail here, there's little warmth or presence to go with it. Everything comes across as a little thin and light, with an almost echoey tone to it. This is a shame, as RHA have offered up some of the best in-ear headphones with the T20 and T10, but these fall short of the mark at this sort of price point.
Now, the S500i features a microphone, and strangely this was a great inclusion. Callers said I sounded fairly decent, and taking phone calls with the S500i is a pleasant experience. This is important because these are designed for modern, everyday users and if you're on the commute and need to take a call, you're less likely to take your phone out of your pocket.
So, if the RHA S500 and S500i aren't that great sounding, for a pair at this price, then what is good about them? Well, ultimately users will be paying for two things with the S500; excellent build quality and a brand name. These feel very sturdy, and I have little worry that they will fall apart easily at all, and even little touches like the 3.5mm connector feel strong, and look good. It is a shame that they can't deliver where it counts, in sound quality, but the irony here is that they do have a lot of great detail, they just lack depth and delivery in the mid-range to bring it all together.
The RHA S500 and S500i might not be for the discerning listener, and indeed I don't think that's the target market. What these are instead, are a great pair for a casual listener that needs something hard-wearing, good-looking and well, wants a little more quality out of a cheaper pair of earphones.
Buy the RHA S500 on Amazon or directly from RHA.

North Korea says its leader Kim Jong-un has received a personal letter of "excellent content" from US President Donald Trump amid a stalemate in nuclear talks between Pyongyang and Washington.
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Sunday quoted Kim as saying that he would be "seriously" contemplating the letter's content.
Kim "said with satisfaction that the letter is of excellent content," the agency reported. "Appreciating the political judging faculty and extraordinary courage of President Trump, Kim Jong-un said that he would seriously contemplate the interesting content."
The White House has not disclosed when or how Trump's letter to Kim was delivered and made no elaboration on the content.
Trump announced earlier this month that he had received a "beautiful letter" from the North Korean leader, breaking the silence since the collapse of a bilateral summit in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi in February.
Speculations are that the letters could pave the way for a third summit between the two leaders.
Trump is scheduled to travel to the South Korean capital of Seoul on June 29 and some political experts believe that he might even try to arrange a meeting with Kim at the border between North and South Korea.
South Korea's presidential Blue House hailed the exchange of letters in a statement as positive and said it "carries on the momentum for talks between the two countries."
The KCNA report came just two days after Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a landmark visit to Pyongyang, signaling willingness to play a mediating role to settle disputes between Trump and Kim over the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Xi is due to meet with Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the Group of 20 summit in Japan on Friday, with analysts saying he could pass the US president a message from Kim about the nuclear negotiations.
Trump has cast off a more-often-than-not bellicose rhetoric and recently adopted an amicable tone towards Kim, saying earlier this month that North Korea under Kim's leadership had "tremendous potential."
During a visit to Japan in May, the US president also lauded Kim as a "very smart guy" and said he expected "a lot of good things" to come out of North Korea.
The US and North Korea had been negotiating over the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula since last year, when a rapprochement between North and South Korea later led to a diplomatic opening between Pyongyang and Washington.
But the talks have effectively stalled in recent months after the second summit between Kim and Trump in Hanoi ended without an agreement in February.
The Trump-Kim summit failed after Pyongyang reportedly demanded that the US lift sanctions in exchange for denuclearization.
Washington has imposed several rounds of unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang since 2006 over its nuclear and missile programs
Since the diplomatic engagement with the South and the US started, North Korea has taken a number of goodwill measures, including suspending all nuclear and missile testing.
America has, however, reciprocated none of those measures and insisted that sanctions on the North must remain in place until it completely and irreversibly dismantles its nuclear program.
US extends sanctions against North Korea
The news of the letter exchange came as the White House announced that the Trump administration will extend sanctions against North Korea for another year as of June 26.
"The existence and risk of the proliferation of nuclear material suitable for armed use on the Korean Peninsula, as well as the actions and policies of the North Korean government, continue to pose an extreme threat to national security, foreign policy and the US economy," the White House said on its website.
"In this regard, US President Donald Trump extended the decrees that established a national emergency in connection with the threat from the DPRK, as well as other orders imposing sanctions against Pyongyang after June 26, 2019," it added.

Artist Safety / Safe Haven Hosting
Every month ArtsEverywhere, the latest program of Musagetes, a Canadian philanthropic arts organization, presents a Global Roundtable in which contributors are asked to respond to a specific question as it relates to one or more of ArtsEverywhere's lines of Inquiry.
In 2017, Residency Unlimited (RU) organized a day-long symposium entitled Embedded, Embedding: Artist Residencies, Urban Placemaking and Social Practice. Hosted by the New School/Parsons MFA Fine Arts Program and curated by Livia Alexander, this symposium examined the connecting and diverging points between the needs of communities, artists' requirements for materials and professional support, and those commissioning and underwriting such initiatives. To further this line of inquiry, RU Dialogues and ArtsEverywhere are collaborating to present five online discussions that take their cue from the topics explored at the symposium. The first roundtable examines the topic of artist residencies and the city. This second roundtable discusses the issue of artist safety, shelter, and the contested notion of the artist residency as a potential site for safe haven hosting.
The origins of the term "safe haven" as utilized in this roundtable can be traced to the early 1990s when Jacques Derrida, Salman Rushdie, and the International Parliament of Writers initiated a movement of shelter cities, called Cities of Asylum Network (INCA), to stand against the increased assassinations of writers in Algeria. When INCA dissolved, The International Cities of Refuge Network (ICORN) was formed in 2006, which now includes over 60 cities, many of which are located in Europe and more specifically the Nordic countries. In turn, "safe haven" became a common descriptor amongst art councils and ministries for the residency programs set up in these cities for writers and more recently practitioners working across all media, from musicians to visual artists.
Read the full story here.
This roundtable gathered 14 participants around the globe and was curated by Lalita Salander, a New York based independent curator, educator, and artist. Salander is pursuing a cross-disciplinary doctoral degree in the field of contemporary art and cultural studies through the University of Reading and Zurich University of the Arts. Her research specifically focuses on Artist-in-Residence programmes in the 21st century. Salander is the curator for Residency Unlimited's Dialogues platform and co-founder of Frontview for Art & Architecture.

The Inception!
At 10.30 on the Saturday before my semester end exams, I am faced with the dilemma of choosing between two equally tempting options of either to continue studying for my English paper OR to create an account on WordPress. What I ultimately chose is anybody's guess!
It is not that I do not appreciate English. In my opinion, English is the most interesting topic in the entire 5 year curriculum of BA LLB (Hons) ~ Oh ya, somehow people in my college always remember to add in that Hons in brackets. Its like, an extra degree that we acquire in the course of these 5 years. As for English, i just think it is a much more sophisticated topic than they make it to be at law school.
English is one of those few subjects you learn since your early days that really makes you think. It is in English classes that meta-cognition actually takes root. In Secondary School, I looked forward to English classes, enjoyed writing expository and argumentative pieces and thoroughly enjoyed the occasions when the teacher struck up a discussion on some current topic.
Shakespeare's writings are timeless pieces of art, it makes you marvel at his genius and also the power of words and sentences. But once you bring them into your lecture hall, it becomes just some words that your teacher spits out every once in a while when he is not busy laughing at his own jokes!
As for Russell, his radical ideologies are completely lost on students who take their 3 hours of back-to-back English lectures as an opportunity to catch some of their lost sleep (which they most probably lost sitting in front of Facebook the entire night!). Suffice to say that, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are a re-visit to our kindergarten days, when we used to have nap-time in class.
And lastly, if you really had to squeeze out any interest I had in reading Sherlock Holmes, you couldn't have found a better solution than simply adding it to my curriculum, where I am spoon-fed with notes on the detailed descriptions of events that transpire in the story which I am expected to regurgitate word for word with the hopes of clearing my English paper!
So, at the end of the day, I am driven away from the one subject that I otherwise adore!
As for writing, it has always been a passion. My first creative piece was inspired by the scene from my window around the time I was 12. I have continued writing ever since. More furiously in the recent past, but less so in the last few months. I suffer from a strange form of verbal diarrhea that demands me to jab words onto my computer screen while simultaneously expecting high standards of succinctness and conciseness!
I love reading well-written articles with a subtle hint of humor. And I am a sucker for big words that I don't really know the meaning of (In my defense, that's how you learn!). My ideal guy would not only know words like Cyan, Teal, Lilac, Tangerine; he'll know the difference!
All these talks aside, first I need to work my way through these Semester exams that begin on the 11th… About 32 hours from now…

Cyan I know – because of the CYMK printing standard. Tangerine sounds like orange. But no idea.

[Jooles Klines, EU Affairs Contributor]
Many are becoming increasingly concerned about the double standards obtaining in the European Union's employment policies.
That is because, whilst it is impossible to get a job in the European Commission if you have a criminal record, this does not seem to apply to the EU's Commissioners, most of whom appear to have criminal records, or censures for fraud or misconduct in their previous offices.
The Commissioners are the power behind the EU as they initiate EU legislation, pass it and enforce it. However, they are unelected and unrepresentative of all EU citizens.
Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party gives a summary of the not-so-squeaky-clean resumes of the EU Commissioners. This account is not for the squeamish, or easily offended – you have been warned!

Boxes, Ribbons, Opt-Ins & CTA
Focus Areas generally come in two different styles (boxes & ribbons) and two different types (opt-in & call to action).
Call to Action Type
The call to action Focus Area type has the aim of getting your visitors to click on a link. This link can be anything you need: a link to one of your posts or pages, a sales page, an external link or even an affiliate link. A call to action Focus Area usually consists of some text, which explains why your visitors should click the link and then either an attention grabbing link or button.
Opt-In Type
The opt-in Focus Area exists to help you get more subscribers to your mailing lists or gather leads for your business. You can use this Focus Area type to display your opt-in form in important areas of your site.
Box Style
The box style Focus Area is the most common one. A typical use would be the opt-in box at the end of each post, which gives new visitors a chance to become subscribers. Example:
Ribbon Style
The ribbon style Focus Area appears as a ribbon at the top or bottom of your content. It usually consists of just one line of text. Example:
Compared to the box style, the ribbon style takes up a lot less space on the page. If you want to put more emphasis on your offer, a box style Focus Area can be the better choice. But if you want the main focus to be on your content, while still advertising an important offer, a ribbon might be a better choice.
Setting Up a Focus Area
Depending on which theme you are using and which template you selected, you will have a different set of options for each Focus Area. Typically, the options are as follows:
Options for Call to Action Focus Areas
You define text content (sometimes just text, sometimes a headline + text). You define a link, which is where visitors will be sent when they click your call to action and finally, you determine whether the link will open in a new tab or in the same tab, once the visitor clicks.
You can also select a color for your Focus Area. In some templates, you can also upload an image to be added to the Focus Area. The image is usually optional and the Focus Area will still work if you leave the image field blank.
Options for Opt-In Focus Areas
The options for opt-in Focus Areas are largely the same as the ones for call to action Focus Areas. The main difference is that you need to also link the opt-in Focus Areas to one of your Thrive Opt-Ins. If you aren't familiar with the Thrive Opt-In Feature yet, please take a look at this entry.
Focus Area Targeting
Once you've set up your Focus Area, you have targeting options to determine where the Focus Area will be shown. There are three drop-down options, which are fairly self-explanatory. You can set the Focus Area to appear at the top, which is usually directly below the header or above the post or page content (depending on the theme you are using). You can set the Focus Area to appear at the bottom which is either right after the post or page content or right before the footer area. Finally, you can set the Focus Area to appear on the blog page, between posts. In this case, you choose after which post the Focus Area should be shown. For example, if you set it to "2" then your blog page will show 2 posts, then the Focus Area (in line with the posts) and then the next posts.
Next, you have some post and page targeting options:
"None" Targeting Option
If you select the "None" targeting option, the Focus Area won't be shown anywhere by default. You can still display a Focus Area set to "None" on specific posts or pages, by selecting it in the post/page options below the post editor, like this:
"Posts" Targeting Options
If you select "Posts" from the targeting options, you have two choices. You can either the the "Default Focus Area" option to Yes and have this Focus Area show an all of your posts, or you can set the option to No and only show this Focus Area on posts of specific categories. You can set one or multiple categories for the Focus Area to display on in the field below.
"Pages" Targeting Option
If you select the "Pages" option, the Focus Area will be shown on all pages, unless otherwise defined in the page options of a specific page.
Note: if you want a Focus Area to appear in more than one location (e.g. top and bottom of a post), please follow this guide.
Publishing the Focus Area
Once you have completed the setup, you can either save a Focus Area as a draft or publish it, by clicking on the blue "Publish" button. Just like with blog posts, a Focus Area will remain invisible to your visitors until you click the publish button.

Kyoukai no Kanata 01 – It's all in the blood
October 5, 2013 2 Comments
Kyoukai no Kanata is a series about cursed existences and the continued importance of blood within Japanese belief. Both of the main characters live cursed existences due to their connections with blood and the realms of gods and spirits. There is no moral notion of sin within Shinto belief; death is not the 'wages of sin' as it might be for Christianity, but rather the outcome of evil-doing. Because purity is valued above all else, evil is defined as that which is 'pollution', or 'polluting'. The primary pollutions within this belief system are sickness, death, and blood, and exposure to such pollution can offend the kami, resulting in disasters such as plagues or famine. Because of this Shinto shrines usually do not conduct funerals, leading the to familiar adage, 'Shinto for weddings, Buddhism for funerals'. Nevertheless, Shinto has historically dealt with ideas of dead; with practitioners believe that spirits of the dead go to the mountains, above the sky, below the ear, or beyond the horizon (Kyoukai no Kanata). Living beings from this world may visit those from the other worlds in borderlands such as cliffs, caves and coastlines, places where the boundary between the two worlds is considered weak.

A proper and professional way of cable tray installation requires good involvement and coordination of people from both electrical and mechanical disciplines. If cable tray system has been installed appropriately in a project, following advantages can be counted:

Some of the greatest success stories ever told begin with an ordinary individual in the face of an extraordinary crossroads. In stories like these, we see how an individual's unique perception of risk gave them the courage and tenacity to do what no one else would do and led them to accomplish the "impossible." But how, as ordinary people, do we identify which risks are worth taking and which are not? How can we make steps towards seeing the impossible come to life without falling flat on our faces unnecessarily? The following five characteristics of risks worth taking just might be what you need to help you decide which path to take in your own life.
1. A risk worth taking comes at the appropriate time.
"For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery." - Ecclesiastes 8:6
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven" - Ecclesiastes 3:1
It was my junior year in high school, and it was my turn for feedback on our latest project. I had only started painting within the year but was becoming a little prideful as I watched my technical skills advance. When I turned the drawing board to show off my work in progress, I was surprised to see the teacher's face appear a little less than enthused. He took a minute before saying, "It's good, Aubrey, but it's time for you to start taking some risks." Caught off guard and a little offended, I responded with resistance. In my mind, my painting looked perfect because it looked realistic. "We already know you can paint well, " he explained, "so let's see you pushing yourself in some new ways now." Humbled, I stared at the artwork afraid of taking on a new challenge, but understanding that staying comfortable wasn't compatible with my desire to grow.
Often times when we work so hard towards a goal, it's easy to kick up our feet when it's finally reached - permanently relocating to a place of comfortability instead of staying for a night or two. If you have found yourself stuck in a cycle where everything is the same-old, same-old, and your growth is minimal, it might be the opportune time to try something new!
On the other hand, if you've been presented with an opportunity to take a risk while things are going haywire or the pieces just aren't adding up, it may be wiser to wait. Take for example a single mom who receives an invitation to accept an unpaid internship at the company of her dreams. She has no savings with bills being paid month-to-month and no one to watch her little one. In a situation like this, it may be best to wait until circumstances change before risk-taking in order to take care of more pressing matters first.
2. A risk worth taking comes with a trustworthy cheerleader (or cheerleaders).
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!" - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
It's true that when it comes time to take a risk, voices of negativity rise, but a trustworthy friend will support you IF they believe you are making the right choice. So, what do the people who love you the most say about this risk you are considering? If those who love you aren't supporting you, what do people you admire say?
When I first questioned leaving teaching in a traditional classroom, I received negative feedback from almost every person around me - partially due to the timing as mentioned previously. The response to my questioning ranged from a doubtful, "Where will you get health insurance, though?" to people yelling at me in anger. Meanwhile, I had 2 or 3 main supporters who encouraged me to explore something more fitting. In the end, I looked at the lives of all of those around me and decided that I admired the lives and conduct of my few supporters much more than those who were bringing me down. Because I admired their life choices, I decided to listen to their advice and let them have a front row seat to my heart while others got stuck in the cheap seats.
Strong relationships can help you muster up the courage to start something new, but a supportive friend will also be there to encourage you when you're in the middle or tail end of your journey. The more people in your life that can give you emotional, financial, or practical support, the better!
3. A risk worth taking pushes you to grow for the better.
"They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it." - 1 Peter 3:11
Take some time to ask yourself what will happen as a result of taking this risk. What are the long-term consequences or benefits? What do you have to do and for how long in order to "succeed" or know that your risk was worth it? Is the risk you are considering going to put you or those that you love in harm's way? Will it take a significant toll on your health or isolate you from community? Will it put a long-term strain on your family or keep you from pursuing relationship with God?
What if instead, the results of this risk will give you more time, more energy, and more capacity to serve others? Will it give you more fulfillment and allow you to bless other people more?
Taking these questions into account can help guide your decision and expose any hidden motives, effects, or pitfalls in your plan.
4. A risk worth taking has benefits that far outweigh the negatives.
"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, 'This person began to build and wasn't able to finish.' - Luke 14:28-30
As obvious as it seems, it is so important to think thoroughly through a risky decision. Making a chart of pros and cons can help to visualize and accept the amount there is to gain or to lose when planning out something new.
Not only should you make a list of the potential losses and gains, but take time to consider which of those things are of the highest priority to you. You might love the free gym membership offered by your potential employer, but it likely isn't worth having to commute 3 hours a day or working nights.
5. A risk worth taking is one you can deeply commit to.
"So Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you want to go away as well?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.'" - John 6:67-69
If your risk has received an A+ in all other categories at this point, it is likely to be one that you see as worth the reward. There is an example in the Bible of a group taking a giant risk. The disciples had just heard Jesus say how excruciatingly difficult it was going to be to follow him. They would have to put everyone second - including themselves - in order to be in ministry and have fellowship with him. Not only that, but they would have to go against the societal norms of their time and eventually, possibly, even die for their cause. When Jesus turned and asked these men if they were going to leave him after hearing his harsh words, they responded, "Lord, to whom shall we go?". In other words, this was their only option - their beliefs convicted them that there was no other way.
So what about your risk? Is there another way? Is there a choice you can make that puts less on the line? Is there a middle-ground between the two extremes that you see? Or is this truly a risk you are willing to give everything for?
I hope that these prompts were able to encourage you and get you thinking about decision-making in a way you haven't before. Whatever risk you are considering, I pray you will be filled with wisdom as you consider your choices and a brand-new journey in your life.

This is incredible! I love the examples you used. This is very inspirational and useful information for anyone stuck in a rut or on the verge of taking a risk! Thank you so much for sharing!

Great advice per the word of God Aubrey!
When the outcomes of taking the risk are worth the risk, we can say that the risk is worth taking. The risk is worth taking, when the potential dividend is greater than the speculation. Identifying the significance of a risk, and the probability of pain, failure, and death can never be straightforward. You need to assess your risk tolerance and weight the risk against the advantage so that you can find the risks that are worth taking. Risks are usually alarming. However, they often lead to great things. So, better you take speculated risks so that you can leave your footprint as a good risk taker.

On a related note, and as reminder of the kind of mayhem that the continuing erosion of central authority in the country can produce, we have a report here that highlights the relevance of complicated social and sectarian cleavages in this matter. It speaks of growing poor Shia encroachments onto plush Sunni suburbs and of the growing fears of the chadorization of the local mores, or, of a clash of mores. In other words, this is a story of the Shia and the poor coming home to roost.
Indeed, should the current offensive last longer and conditions continue to deteriorate, there are enough contradictions lingering and growing within the Lebanese society to plunge it into another round of civil mayhem. Perhaps, there are those in the region who are betting on this, for the more bright the Lebanese implosion is the more relevant and central their role would be.
Indeed, War has its own rather hard and disquieting calculations. In this, dissidents like me are easily outgunned, out-sleazed, and all but completely out-done. As we sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of war and mayhem, liberal dissidents simultaneously take an even deeper plunge into irrelevance. Hell, we are bound to become objects of disdain and hatred. We have always been preaching against the national and the social mores, so how could we not be fifth columnists and agents of the Zionists and the West?
But this developments does not come as a compelte surprise for me. I have always suspected that the best that we can achieve at this stage is to simply survive, though I had dared wish and work for more just in case my cynicism was not as amply justified as I thought. Anyway, the odds are just too high for inaction. So, and while surviving, we also have to keep an eye on the future. Indeed, some vision and some planning will go along way in this regard, for very few actors on the scene tend to have any vision at all, or any real long-term plans. We, the dissidents, the democrats, the heretics of our modern day and age, should strive to fill that void.

By the lack of an answer to my previous questions I assume that I am right. Mr. Coleman can continue his "journalism" any time he wants. There is nothing stopping him from going to city hall. Just like you and I. Most anyone can go to city hall and sit in on the public council meetings. He has stopped because he lacked the funding. He could not raise the $10,000 he himself said he needed to continue. If he cannot raise that much money from a city of 600,000 then there really is no desire to have him report. The people have spoken in a loud clear voice, they have no interest in having Mr. Coleman report from city hall. Shove, push has nothing to do with Mr. Coleman's lack of reporting.
There are no upcoming events right now.
Why not post one?

Yaounde, 22 April 2019 (ECA) – Much to an ecstatic applause from the academic community and members of the Government of Cameroon, the Execrative Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) – Ms. Vera Songwe, made a strong case for the country to ratify and take leadership in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement while toning up its digital economy, as she ended her first official visit there recently.
"With the AfCFTA, markets open up, demand for goods and services from other parts of the continent increase, and you have an opportunity to improve on supply" to get income that would help power the double-digit growth crucial for Cameroon to attain emergence, she argued in a high-level exchange at the International Relations Institute of Cameroon (IRIC).
The free market agreement, to soon go operational on the continent, opening up a vista to 1.2 billion consumers and more than 2.5 trillion dollars collective GDP, is an avenue of economic interdependence, she maintained.
The beauty of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement is that it allows countries to specialize in their areas of competitiveness and export profitably to their immediate neighboring as well as those further afield, she said.
"Half of the chicken that is eaten in Africa comes from Brazil because we do not have the corn they need for their feeds all year round," she explicated.
But with the AfCFTA, Cameroon could easily import corn from Botswana when the feed is not in season, and vice versa, she mooted.
She argued that economic integration and economic interdependence was very important even for a country such as Cameroon, which has the most diversified economy in Central Africa.
To elucidate this, she drew the example of the recent oil glut, which must have affected Cameroon's exports to Angola because the latter country, highly dependent on oil for foreign income, would not be in a position to import as much as it normally did from Cameroon given its own falling oil revenue.
"The beauty of the AfCFTA is that it looks at the collective," and not countries operating unilaterally, she added.
Ms. Songwe said the AfCFTA was not just a trade agreement but an investment agreement which would stimulate new businesses in the manufacturing and services sector, leading to jobs and economic growth.
With the assurances she had already received from Cameroon's government officials, ECA's Executive Secretary was forward looking but cautioned that "the free trade area agreement will not become reality if we do not take away the non- tariff barriers to trade."
She spelt out the nexus between implementing the free trade area agreement and boosting the digital economy.
"When you put together the digital economy, the African Continental Free Trade begin to get an Africa where poverty will be a thing of the long time past," Ms. Songwe declared.
ECA's Executive Secretary implored Government policy makers in Cameroon to increase access to, reduce the cost of and improve the quality of broadband in other to give its digital economy full leverage.
In her view, it was all about a digital economy where Africans themselves create software and digital enterprises and have easy access to intellectual property rights registration and certification.
African countries therefore needed to urgently bring down the prohibitive costs of intellectual property certification, to let digital initiatives like those shoring up in Cameroon's Silicon Mountain (name of the community of tech startups in the county's Southwestern town of Buea) to blossom, she went on.
She encouraged Cameroon to develop a digital Identification (Digital ID) system for its citizens. This would enable them have increase access to education and e-government services, while improving on social inclusion, Fintech, security and governance itself.
Noting that this was a matter of government policy, Ms. Songwe recalled that "through a digital ID program, India was able to register 1 billion people in 4 years. This means we can do it in Cameroon."
In concordance, Cameroon's Minister of Economy, Planning and Regional Development, Alamine Ousmane Mey, said the AfCFTA and the digital economy equation were of prime importance to Cameroon which, he said, had understood the need to hinge progress on a three-fold connectivity approach: improving on road infrastructure, boosting energy supply and overhauling its telecommunications.
This approach, he said, were relevant across Africa which must leverage these sectors to prevent a scenario of 400 million people on the continent living in poverty by 2050.
In concluding about Africa's feat in successfully creating a single market, Ms. Vera Songwe said "It's impossible until it's done. We have now done it. We just need to sit down and reap the benefits of it."
An elated Director of the prestigious International Relations Institute of Cameroon – H.E. Mr. Salomon Eheth, described ECA's Executive Secretary as: "a great woman with a brilliant curriculum and a model to Cameroon's youths."

Impressive? Yes. Does it really mean anything? I've gained enough experience to know that those kinds of things are few and far between, if they ever happen at all. And if they do, enjoy the moment, but don't get wrapped up in it. Right after I got off the phone with the journalist from CNN, I think I called my Dad to tell him the good news, but after that I went straight to the laundromat to clean my cloths, and went to the post office to mail a bunch of packages that were piling up on my desk. In other words, right back to the day-to-day real life things that we all have to do.
One question I asked myself after seeing my press kit in front of me was: Can I possibly hope to top all of that with another film? Shouldn't I just quit while I'm ahead and re-live the stories for years to come? Tempting, but I realized it's an unfair question to ask. Making another film isn't about "topping" the last one, it's about a new challenge, a new adventure, and creating a new story to tell. Maybe it won't be the same, maybe it won't be told through mainstream media outlets or at as many festivals and conferences, but it will no doubt be a fun ride nonetheless.
But don't get me wrong, if CNN calls again this time around, I'll be there to answer the call. After all, I can multi-task now that I have a washing machine in my apartment :)

Tattoos are common in our culture today, worthy of an Instagram post, but not much else. It wasn't always that way though. Tattoos have a long history of being taboo in Western cultures. They were the marks of indigenous people, of sailors, and of thugs. It might be shocking to learn that quite a few of the historical figures in those textbooks you studied in school had tattoos of their own.
Andrew Jackson
Let's start off with some US Presidents. Andrew Jackson was the 7th president of the United States. He was an extremely controversial president, mainly due to his campaign to kill and relocate Native Americans. The ironic thing is that his tattoo was a giant tomahawk, a tool, and weapon closely associated with the culture he tried to destroy. It was located on his inner thigh and people still don't know why he got it.
James K. Polk
Yet another president with hidden ink. Polk spent most of his presidency trying to round up land for the US. Maybe we can also credit him with starting the Chinese character tattoo craze of the 90s. President Polk had a Chinese character tattoo, which translated to "eager". Hey, it could have been worse.
Teddy Roosevelt
Ahh, the good old Roosevelt family. Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th President of the US and had such a great reputation his face was put on Mount Rushmore alongside those of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. What Mount Rushmore doesn't depict though was his tattoo. Teddy Roosevelt reportedly has his family crest tattooed on his chest. We would expect nothing less of someone from the Roosevelt family.
John Wilkes Booth
While not a president, he did end up killing one. The 26-year old was an actor that ended up assassinating President Abraham Lincoln. He was a typical actor with a big ego and thought of himself as "God's instrument". Oh, and he had a tattoo of his own initials on his hand. In fact, that's how his body was identified after he was killed.
Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison is known for so many inventions (he actually holds the record for the largest number of patents) it would be hard to list them all here. What you might not know is that you should also credit him for inventing an electric pen. Samuel O'Reilly who developed the first tattoo machine then used this pen. So in a way, Thomas Edison helped invent that tattoo machine. Turns out he was so intrigued that he ended up with some tattoos himself- 5 cryptic dots on his forearm.
Winston Churchill
Churchill led Britain through WW2, all with a tattoo. He's a national hero and many would be surprised to know he had a tattoo. He had a classic anchor on his forearm. We're guessing his mother didn't mind seeing as she had a snake tattoo herself on her wrist (that she would hide with jewelry).
Czar Nicholas II
Known mostly for being the last emperor of Imperial Russia, Czar Nicholas also had a tattoo. In 1891 he went on a trip to Japan to try to improve Russo-Japanese relations. He came back with a little souvenir in the form of a dragon tattoo on his arm. Guess that's one way to mend a relationship.
George Orwell
No doubt you know this man's name from reading his famous book, 1984, in high school. While he's most well known for inking some of the best writing in the 20th century, he also had some ink on his body. While serving time as a policeman in Burma he got a blue dot on each knuckle. They were said to protect the wearer from harm.
King Frederick IX of Denmark
King Frederick led Denmark for 25 years. If that's not badass enough, he had a number of bold tattoos. His ink covered his arms and his chest. He acquired them during his time serving as a sailor. We guess going shirtless with all that ink made quite a statement to his enemies.
R.H. Macy
You may not know the name, but you know the store. R.H. Macy was the founder of Macy's department store. Ever wonder where the store's logo came from? Well, it's said to be inspired by R.H. Macy's tattoo of a red star that he had on his forearm. He acquired it in his youth when he was a sailor.
Tattoos have a long history, and if they're good enough for Presidents and Kings, they're good enough for you. Contact us or visit our downtown Toronto tattoo shop to book an appointment for your next ink.

10 Cons How Branding Chains Disrupted Hotel Business
1. Google Business Listing
They change the name of Google Business Pages and make it "Branding Chain Name" "Hotel ID", "Location Name" not only this they replace your contact number with their customer care number.
2. Switching Business
Since they do contracting with hotel on 50% occupancy, they route the business of one property (Say Hotel X) to another if the occupancy rate of Hotel X is achieved. It becomes very convenient because they have their own number updated.
3. Average Revenue per Room
You will soon realize that you are getting a low room rates from OTA because they slash the prices up to 40%. If rooms of worth INR 2500 get booked on INR 1500 then automatically you will get business. Business is increased by decreasing the room rates.
4. Local Travel Agent Relation and Offline Business
Since the property is show cased at a very lower price in OTA so will start losing your offline business. Have you received any mailers from Travel Agent saying book "Branding Chain Name" Room Hotel X with us for best rates??
5. OTA Ranking Degradation
Hotel A is paying 25% and Hotel B is paying you 17.5% for same category of hotel to OTA. The OTA would promote the property which is paying higher commission.
6. Offline Clients
This is the pure business of the hotel and here also hotel needs to pay a commission to these chains.
7. Partnership
Hoteliers are already associated with OTA and have a fair offline business. Hotelier need to pay commission on the amount which they are already earning. The above points indicates the revenue loss and moving up to branding loss these are some points
8. Brand Name
The guest ultimately knows the name of branding chains not your hotel. If he wants to rebook your hotel he will call those chains not you. If your property is not listed with them at that point there caller are smart enough to mold your client to their new contracted property.
9. Separation Time
Once you start realizing that you need to discontinue the contract due to general issues like nonpayment of bookings, low occupancy levels, loss of business, or other reasons you would require at least 3 months time to self brand your property, changing name in portals, change of bank account, also you need to invest in SEO services to change the Google Business Name, Removal of Branding Chain Name etc.
10. Legal Contracting
Most of the hoteliers are not satisfied by these branding chains but they do not have any options. They have a legal obligation term of 1 year at least or hotelier has to pay off them with a handsome amount.

Can you please confirm if they have fixed the issue from CS3 where the items in the bleed area needed to be touching the art board to actually print.

I am always creating my own trim / printer marks for jobs requiring more than the corner crops. Previously in CS3 these lines would not print because they did not bleed off / touch the art board, even though I set the bleed area in the print setup and made sure the marks were within that area (1mm away from art board with 5mm Bleed set)

This has been a major problem and I have been forced to use CS2 for such jobs.

I hope you can tell me good news.

Some features are expanded and improved while others get more complicated and some just take the art of being a Designer out of the equation.
It used to be that you needed Skills to become a designer, now is so simple that anyone can claim to be one even if they are DUMB as a stump.
Every year we have to shed hundreds of dollars to get these latest versions making the software a disposable version on the yearly basis for features that we may not even need.

I've been using it for over a year and maybe I'm just missing something with it. I do a lot of Car Club designs and the cars can be very detailed.

I will have to look for more info on this feature, I'm probably not using it to it's full potential, although on simple designs it has been awesome.

I've used Illustrator off and on throughout the years but honestly the things I hated about it I really hated. Too much to go into but I will say there are things about CS3 I really love. I'm just curious if they made any changes to the swatches or being able to replace colors quickly? I just spent 2 hours making a 12 color design into a 7 color design. Something I can do in Freehand in literally 10 minutes tops.

I love Illustrator now but certain things still drive me CRAZY. I think it's the knowing how much faster something could be done, and I'm not talking minutes I'm talking hours. When I use Freehand now and hit Command S and sit back in my chair I forget it actually saves as soon as I release the keys, I'm just use to Illustrator taking up to 12 minutes on some files. Normally 2-3 minutes but still the same file saves in Freehand instantly. I hope they've improved that in CS4.

I still use Freehand for pasting inside and a few other things since Illustrator does a pretty good job of opening Freehand Files.

Distribution networks are classified in 3 main sections according to Grounding Regulation of Electrical Facilities according to grounding type.
- TT Systems,
- IT Systems,
- TN Systems
They examine these three classes in detail; Look at what abbreviations are used in the classification of TN, TT, IT;
► T; Terra = Earth
► N; Notr = Neutral
► I; Isolation = Isolation
► C; Combine = Combination
► S; Separate = Used for separate meanings.
TT and TN are common systems. The IT system is preferred as a local system.
If "TT" is a detailed look at the encoding of these abbreviations;
First letter: Connecting the power system to the soil;
T: Direct connection of a spot to the ground,
I: All tensions are separated from the earth or connected to the earth via an impedance from a point.
Second letter: The connection of the open conductor sections of the installation to the soil;
T: electrically connected directly to the ground, with the open conductive parts, regardless of the grounding of any point of the power system,
N: The direct conduction sections are electrically connected directly to the grounded point of the power system (in A.C. systems, the grounded point of the power system is a neutral (neutral) point, or a neutral (phase) conductor if there is no neutral point).
Some systems can be coded TN-S, TN-C.
This is the 3rd code;
S: A protection function is provided with a separate conductor from the neutral or grounded line conductor (or mains (grounded) in a.a. systems).
A: Combination of neutral and protective safety via a single conductor (PEN conductor).
-TN System
TN systems have a directly grounded point and the exposed conductive parts of the installation are connected to this point by a protection conductor. The TN system is divided into three types according to the arrangement of neutral and protective conductors:
TN-S system: A separate protection conductor is used throughout the system.
TN-C-S system: Neutral and protection functions are integrated in a single part of the system.
TN-C system: The system is fully neutral and the protection functions are combined in one transmitter.
Figure 1. Conductors as icons
Figure 2. TN-S system
Figure 3. TN-C-S System; The neutral conductor and the protective conductor are combined in a single part of the system.
Figure 4. TN-C System; The system is completely neutral and the protection functions are combined into a single transmitter.
-TT System
In the TT system there is a directly grounded point, the open conductive parts of the installation are connected to the earth ground which is electrically independent of the power system ground.
Figure 5. TT System
-IT System
In the IT system, all the tensile parts are separated from the soil or connected to the earth via a point, an impedance. The exposed conductive parts of the electrical installation are separately or jointly grounded or connected to the system ground.
Figure 6. IT System
In the IT type system, an isolation control device is connected to detect the first insulation fault and to protect it from the hazards caused by the second fault. A light or audible signal is given when the first fault occurs. With the insulation control device, no warning is given. If desired, the energy of the network can be disconnected automatically.
Grounding System for Solar Panels
Grounding of photovoltaic systems Since the application areas of photovoltaic systems are always designed to cover the entire surface of the hand, they must be integrated with the existing TT grounding system. Since the application areas of photo-voltaic systems are always designed to cover the whole surface of the hand, they have to be integrated with the existing TT grounding system. For example, in the installation shown in Figure 1 below, there is no supply output protected by the leakage current protection relay on the consumer side. This seems to be a problem to be solved by the network operator at first glance. However, according to DIN VDE 0100-712, it is necessary to have an automatic device which opens circuit in a cable / conductor-fed installation.
In order to enable the electric circuit to be opened with the overcurrent protection devices at an insulation fault such as full body contact, the non-stressed conductive parts of the parts are connected separately to the zero conductor or to a protective conductor which is connected thereto. Purpose of resetting; Avoiding the continuation of high tactile voltages in the body of the drive means.
Protection Grounding
In order to ensure that the electrical circuit is opened by the overcurrent protection devices at an insulation fault such as full body contact, the non-stressed conductive plant sections are directly connected to the grounding or grounded sections. The purpose of protective grounding is to ensure that the high tactile stress that may occur in conductive plant sections that are not stressed to protect people and other living things from dangerous tactile and step tensions.
Protection grounding is done by connecting the mentioned plant parts to grounding or grounded parts.
Line Protection System
It is a system that provides conductive connection of all non-stressed conductor plant parts to each other and to conductor parts, pipe networks and similar plant parts and star points grounded networks in order to prevent high tensions in insulation lines.
The purpose of using this system is to prevent high contact voltages. This is achieved by connecting all conductive parts of the plant, which are not under tension, to metal parts which can touch each other and to a grounding conductor via a protection conductor.

Best and worst performing tech stocks of 2018 revealed
South Africa's IT and telecoms stocks had a difficult year on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), with the vast majority of stocks losing value over the year.
The worst performing stock of 2018, according to ITWeb's calculations and Bloomberg data, was JSE newcomer 4Sight Holdings. The company saw its stock fall by 81.37% year-to-date (YTD), from R1.61 per share on 2 January 2018 to just R0.30 per share at the close of trade on 12 December 2018. The diversified holding company, which invests in industry 4.0 technology businesses, only listed on the JSE's Alternative Exchange (AltX) in October 2017, and since listing, its share price has fallen by 85% from its opening price of R2.05 per share.
4Sight was not alone in its struggles. Second-worst performer Blue Label Telecoms' share price fell by 65.31% YTD, and the third-worst performer was Net1 UEPS, which saw its stock drop by 52.85% YTD. Both companies made significant investments in mobile operator Cell C in 2017, and disappointing results from the telco that reported a net loss of R645 million in August 2018 kept investors bearish. Net1's association with the controversial and now concluded social grants contract with the South African Social Security Agency has also not inspired investors.
A number of IT stocks took heavy hits over the year, with seven stocks falling by over 45% YTD. EOH was down by 52.54%, from R68.80 per share in early January to R32.65 at the close of trade yesterday. Datatec's stock fell by 52.45% YTD; Etion (formerly Ansys) by 48.89%; and Ellies was 48.57% lower YTD.
Internet and media giant Naspers also went from one of the best performers last year to one of the worst this year, with its stock dropping 20.21% YTD and 17.71% over a 12-month period. Naspers, however, still remains the most valuable stock on the JSE, with a market cap of R1.256 trillion; it also has the most expensive share price of R2 857.15 per share.
Tumultuous telcos
The listed telecoms operators were among the worst performers, with the exception of Telkom, which saw its stock jump by 30.40% YTD. In ITWeb's 2017 comparison, Telkom had been the worst telecoms stock on the JSE, but this year it was the strongest, and over a one-year period, was up 41.08%.
Its telco peers, however, did not fare as well. The worst performer in the sector was Blue Label Telecoms, which saw its share price drop by 65.31% YTD and 60.98% over a one-year period. The stock was down to just R5.19 per share after starting the year at R14.96 per year. In 2016, in comparison, Blue Label was the second-best performer on the JSE.
MTN also had a tough year, with its stock dropping 35.74% YTD from R133.73 at the beginning of January to R85.94 on 12 December. Vodacom also saw a drop of 14.08% YTD, but it was only down by 4.79% over a one-year period.
Top performers
The standout stock of the year was TeleMasters, which saw a 130% increase in its share price since 2 January. If this list had been compiled a day earlier, however, it would have been a very different story, as TeleMasters' share price shot up 64.29% yesterday from R0.70 at the close on 11 December to R1.15 at the close on 12 December.
The second-best stock of the year was last year's top performer, MiX Telematics, which saw its share price increase by 59.51% YTD. Altron was in third place, growing its stock by 49.16% YTD, while Mustek, Telkom and Capital Appreciation all performed well, with share prices rising by over 20% YTD.
