Octava HD41ARC-UHD HDMI Switch

Hi - Does anyone have any experience with the Octava HD41ARC-UHD? I've tried a couple of cheap UHD HDMI switches and not having much luck, so was wondering if this switch is worth the extra money. How well does the auto switching work and is is fully compatible with HDR 18Gbps signals? Also how well does the ARC/HDMI Audio to optical extraction work? from AVForums http://bit.ly/2GTzsgH

Another chance for Barca's old guard to leave heavier stamp on Europe

Three remain and when Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique line up against Liverpool on Wednesday, they may wonder if this could be their best chance of another, and perhaps final, Champions League triumph. Pep Guardiola's mesmeric side had just danced around and dizzied Manchester United in 2009, their 2-0 victory completing an historic treble, when Ferguson conceded: "Nobody has given us a hiding like that." But not long after the final whistle at Wembley, Ferguson expressed doubts too, about the longevity of that Barca group and then, whether they could ever be replaced. "Great teams go in cycles and the cycle they're in at the moment is the best in Europe," he said. "How long it lasts and whether they can replace that team...they have the philosophy but it's difficult to say if you can find players like Xavi, (Andres) Iniesta and Messi all the time. Probably not." Xavi and Iniesta have gone, succeeded by the all-encompassing

Sensex falls 150 points on foreign fund outflows in early trade

However, a strengthening rupee and global crude oil prices restricted further losses in equity markets, brokers said. The 30-share index dropped 154.60 points, or 0.40 per cent, to 38,912.73 in early morning trade, after touching a high of 39,068.67. Similarly, the NSE Nifty declined by 19.75 points, or 0.44 per cent, to 11,703.30. Top losers in the Sensex pack include Yes Bank, IndusInd Bank, Sun Pharma, HeroMoto Corp, and Maruti.  On the other hand, the gainers in the lot include HCL Tech, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, Infosys, Hindustan Uniliver, Axis Bank and ONGC. On Friday, the Sensex closed 336.47 points, or 0.87 per cent, higher at 39,067.33. The NSE Nifty too ended 112.85 points, or 0.97 per cent, up at 11,754.65. Domestic equity markets were closed on Monday due to elections in Mumbai. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturing sector index fell in April to 50.1, compared to 50.5 in previous month, according to the data released by the National Statistics Bureau. The US equity indices

Kids' cavities probably not caused by bad genes

Researchers followed 345 twins from 24 weeks’ gestation through six years of age, when they all had dental checkups. At age six, 32 percent of the kids had tooth decay and 24 percent of the children had advanced cavities. To see how much genetics might shape the risk of cavities, researchers looked at how often both kids got cavities in pairs of identical twins - who have identical genetic variations - and fraternal twins - who typically share about half of their variations. The risk of both siblings developing any form of tooth decay or advanced cavities was similar for identical and fraternal pairs, suggesting that genetics doesn’t explain much of the risk for these oral health problems. “Therefore, risk factors seem to be mostly environmental and are potentially modifiable,” said lead study author Mihiri Silva of the University of Melbourne and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute at Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. “This might debunk the idea that individuals are ge

New technique could enable color tuning of LED bulbs

According to Volkmar Dierolf, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Lehigh's Department of Physics, who worked on the project says, "This work could make it possible to tune between bright white and more comfortable warmer colors in commercial LEDs." The team demonstrated the possibility of color tuning Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based GaN LEDs simply by changing the time sequence at which the operation current is provided to the device. Light-emitting diodes or LEDs are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current is passed through it. Notably, the technique is compatible with current LEDs that are at the core of commercial solid state LED lighting. The work is described in an article published online in  ACS Photonics  called "Color-Tunablility in GaN LEDs Based on Atomic Emission Manipulation under Current Injection." The lead author, Brandon Mitchell, is a former graduate student in Dierolf's lab and now an assistant professor in the Depar

Drug-resistant diseases could kill 10 million annually by 2050: UN

The report released by Interagency Coordination Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (IACG) on Monday also finds that by 2030, antimicrobial resistance could force up to 24 million people into extreme poverty. UN, international agencies and experts demand immediate, coordinated and ambitious action to avert a potentially disastrous drug-resistance crisis. Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem in India and is making it particularly hard to treat diseases like Tuberculosis (TB), childhood sepsis and malaria. It is estimated that annually at least 7,00,000 deaths occur from antibiotic-resistant infections in low- and middle-income countries. This includes 2,30,000 people who die from multidrug-resistant TB. More and more common diseases, including respiratory tract infections, sexually transmitted infections and urinary tract infections, are untreatable; lifesaving medical procedures are becoming much riskier, and our food systems are increasingly precarious. The world is already

Sudan's Sufis sing and dance in defence of sit-in protest

Protesters played drums, danced and sang on the streets outside the defence ministry building, waving large flags in a colourful march. The march came as Sudan's military rulers and an opposition alliance met to discuss the powers of a joint military-civilian council to steer the country's transition after three decades of rule by Omar al-Bashir. The two sides had been due to talk about the make-up of the proposed body, but military officers who toppled Bashir on April 11 focussed the discussions instead on the future council's functions and powers, sources said. Monday's meeting was held at the presidential palace on the banks of the Blue Nile in Khartoum, a short distance from the sit-in.   from DDNews Feeds http://bit.ly/2GTs9pf

Peru deports first large group of Venezuelan migrants

The migrants were detained in different districts of the capital, Lima, in a police operation early on Monday, and were put on a military plane headed to Venezuela hours later. Interior Minister Carlos Moran said most of the Venezuelans expelled had provided false sworn declarations in their residency applications that they had no criminal record, a violation of Peru's migration law punishable with deportation. Others were deported for residing illegally in the Andean country, Moran added, without providing details. Peru, which has a population of 32 million, has the second-biggest population of Venezuelan migrants after Colombia. Most of the 700,000 Venezuelans in Peru came in the past year. The deportation on Monday followed reports in local media in recent months about Venezuelan nationals involved in criminal rackets, including an alleged kidnapping-for-ransom gang that police said they disbanded last week. Some 3 million Venezuelans have left their homeland since 2015, see

High alert as Cyclone Fani intensifies; advisory for citizens issued

IMD said it could take a shape of an 'extremely severe cyclone' by Wednesday, prompting the government to put the National Disaster Response Force and the Indian Coast Guard on high alert. The NDRF and the Indian Coast Guard have been put on high alert and the fishermen have been asked not to venture into the sea. Meanwhile, the Eastern Naval Command has assumed high degree of readiness to render necessary humanitarian assistance.

The first vessel is to be delivered within 42 months from the contract, that is by October 2022. After that, GRSE must deliver two more ASWSWCs annually, completing delivery by April 2026. The ASWSWCs are equipped with sophisticated sonar, with an algorithm that differentiates the signals reflected off the enemy submarine from those bouncing off the sea bed. These vessels will also have the ability to sprint fast for short bursts in order to maintain contact with a submarine it detects; as well as sophisticated data link networks for sharing information about the enemy submarine with friendly anti-submarine warships and aircraft.     from DDNews Feeds http://bit.ly/2UOkbkQ

Sri Lankan bombers had clear links to ISIS: President Sirisena

President said in an interview to a news channel that the terror group had provided training to the perpetrators of last week’s attacks, and that links between ISIS and extremists in Sri Lanka could be traced back to 15 years. President had earlier said that there could be upto 140 ISIS sympathisers in the country and hunt is on to nab them all. \Sirisena rejected claims that he should resign in the face of the intelligence failures before the attacks, which killed more than 250 people including 42 foreigners. The President blamed officials and ministers in his government for failing to act on warnings. He also rejected criticism that a political rift with his Prime Minister had created a governmental void which paved the way for terrorist attacks to take place.   Sirisena said when it comes to national security, there are no party differences, religious differences or racial differences between us as Sri Lankans. Meanwhile, a joint operations command has been set up in Colombo fo

Coffee Table book on Architecture & Landscape of Rashtrapati Bhawan presented to UAE Minister

UAE Minister of Tolerance had visited the India Pavilion of the ongoing Abu Dhabi International Book Fair 2019 . India is the ‘Guest of Honour’ at the Book Fair. The official residence of President of India in the Book has been beautifully captured in lens by celebrated photographer Ram Rahman and edited by renowned historian Narayani Gupta. The architecture of Rashtrapati Bhavan is an interesting example of Imperial architecture designed during a period of growing anti colonial feeling. It is an awe-inspiring structure, a stolid symbol of British imperialism (interestingly, its façade is the same length— 630 ft—as that of Buckingham Palace). It is, however, also a sign of the times of the pre Independent India.  Early twentieth century India was simmering with anti-British sentiment, and a need to show some respect for Indian tradition meant that this grand new building had to be more than just a European edifice sitting grandly in an Indian setting.

Killers of DD News cameraman Achyutananda Sahu arrested

Six naxals, including a woman, were arrested Monday from two places in Chhattigsarh's Dantewada district, police said. Of them, three ultras who were allegedly involved in the October 2018 Nilawaya attack in which three policemen and a Doordarshan cameraman were killed in Dantewada, were apprehended from Nilawaya area under Aranpur police station limits, said Dantewada Superintendent of Police Abhishek Pallava. They are identified as Hunga Korram (21) and Kishor Madvi (19), both active as janmilitia platoon members, and the woman as Jogi Korram (20). She is a member of CNM (Chetna Natya Mandali), a cultural outfit of Maoists, he said. Korram and Madvi were carrying a reward of Rs one lakh each on their heads, he added. "The trio were part of the Maoist squad that had attacked the police personnel escorting a three-member team of the national broadcaster Doordarshan near Nilawaya village on October 30 last year ahead of Assembly election in the state," Pallava said.

Lok Sabha Polls: Campaigning heats up for remaining Phases

Amidst the fourth phase of polling on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi campaigned in full swing in various parts of the nation addressing several rallies. The PM held rallies in West Bengal and Jharkhand, appealing people to vote for the BJP. Taking a jibe at the 'Grand Alliance or the Mahagathbandhan' PM in his first rally at Koderma, Jharkhand appealed first time voters to vote against the 'Maha Milawat'. He said that the so called 'grand alliance' does not want a majority government majority in centre. Lambasting the Congress, he said that they want a weak government whom they can control via a remote. PM addressed the second rally in West Bengal's Serampore, where he launched a series of attack at the state government. Attacking West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, he said that she cannot form a government at the centre only with a handful of seats. Adding on he said that 40 MLAs of the TMC are in touch with him and will leave the party onc

Facebook has a Serious Fucking Problem with Crooks and Scammers (plus Apocalypse Now 4K)

Image
Sorry for the strange topic of today’s post, but I’ve had an insane thing happen to me over the weekend. In between brief periods of enjoyment of Avengers: Endgame and last night’s amazing “Battle of Winterfell” on Game of Thrones , a pair of clever misanthropes in Hanoi, Vietnam tried to steal my identity (and my wife’s) on Facebook. They managed to take control of my wife’s Facebook business page and group, and then when we reported this to Facebook (which wasn’t easy), the hackers created fake duplicate personal pages, posting as us, and then reported our actual pages as the fakes. So while we slept, both of our personal accounts were closed and now we have to prove who we are in order to get back online there. Now, of course, it would have been simple for Facebook to simply look at the fact that we’ve been on Facebook for years, while the new fake accounts have only sprung up in the last 24 hours. But no… that would require common sense. Meanwhile, there is literally NO ONE at

Hi all, I've ordered a pair of the Sony's on line and used them for a couple of days on my dog walk. Previously I've been using Sennheiser Momentum 2 on ear earphones. I was hoping for a vast difference in sound quality and the Sonys do seem a little clearer but not by a huge margin. I don't really need noise cancelling (as I use them for dog walking mainly in the woods and it's quiet) although Bluetooth is a nice to have.

Google to remove 100 apps from Chinese developer

46 apps from DO Global have already been removed from the Play Store and the company intends to ban DO Global overall with more app removals that would follow, according to reports.  “We actively investigate malicious behaviour, and when we find violations, we take action, including the removal of a developer’s ability to monetise their app with AdMob or publish on Play,” a report quoted a Google spokesperson as saying on Friday. The search engine giant is further extending the ban to the Internet giant’s ad products apprearing on Android as well. “DO Global apps no longer offer ad inventory for purchase via Google’s AdMob network,” a report said. The Chinese company claims to have more than 250 million monthly active users for its apps and the reach of nearly 800 million users through its ad platform on Android. “Their removal from the Play Store marks one of the biggest bans, if not the biggest, Google has ever instituted against an app developer,” a report noted.

Dance like nobody's watching! International Dance Day being celebrated today

Image
It aims to bring people together with a common language - dance.  In 1982, the Dance Committee of International Theatre Institute founded International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29 April, the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), creator of modern ballet. Every year a message is given by a dancer to mark the day. This yera, Karima Mansour of Egypt has said: " Movement is a language spoken by us all. Movement is a universal language that belongs to everybody If only we open our senses and listen. Listening is what is required, listening without interference, listening without judgment, listening in silence and allowing the movement to pass through the body in the moment, because everything inside us and around us is in motion, constant motion. This is when the body doesn't lie because it is listening to its truth and manifesting it. By listening to our heartbeat, we can then dance the dance of life, which requires movement, agility and adaptability,

Body can adapt to occasional short-term overeating: Study

Obesity and type 2 diabetes have increased significantly worldwide within the past 30 years. Lifestyle factors such as overindulging in high-calorie foods play a large role in the development of these two serious health conditions. For the study, researchers from Deakin University in Australia studied a small group of healthy and lean men with an average age of 22. Volunteers participated in a short-term trial consisting of five days—indicative of humans overeating during festivals and holidays—and a long-term model of chronic overeating lasting 28 days. The "overfeeding" portion of the diet included high-calorie snacks such as chocolate, meal replacement drinks and potato chips to add approximately 1,000 more calories to the men's normal food consumption each day. Published in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, the study suggests that "early adaptations in response to carbohydrate over-feeding are directed at increasing glucose dis

Bottas wins in Azerbaijan, retakes championship lead

The Finn, who started on pole position, crossed the line 1.524 seconds ahead of Hamilton to make up for the agony of 2018 when he was denied victory in Baku by a late puncture. The pair are now separated by just one point with 17 races remaining, with Mercedes 70 points ahead of Ferrari in the constructors' standings. Sebastian Vettel in his Ferrari was a distant third as the Italian pre-season favourites again failed to convert their promise into a result. The win around the streets of capital Baku was the fifth of Bottas' career and he became the first driver this season to win from pole. Like Hamilton, he now has two wins and two second places from the first four races but is ahead thanks to the extra point he scored for setting the fastest lap on his way to victory in the Australian season opener. Mercedes are the first two-car team in Formula One's 70-year history to open a season with four straight one-twos. Max Verstappen was fourth for Red Bull ahead of Ferrar

The Czech had to work much harder in the second set as she had to save two set points at 5-4 as Kontaveit had her pinned to the baseline. However, the Estonian, who received a walkover into the final after top seed Naomi Osaka pulled out from their last four clash due to injury,missed her chances and allowed Kvitova to come back. Kvitova raced to a 6-0 lead in the tiebreak before sealing victory two points later.   from DDNews Feeds http://bit.ly/2UNRSD4

Mozambique hit by floods in aftermath of Cyclone Kenneth

The storm slammed in to the province of Cabo Delgado on Thursday (April 25), killing five people, and has since then pounded an area prone to floods and landslides with rain, fuelling fears rivers could burst their banks and leave vast areas under water. It was raining heavily in the provincial capital of Pemba on Sunday, which had until now been spared from severe damage. Several neighbourhoods were flooded, Saviano Abreu, spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in southern and eastern Africa said. Mozambican authorities on Friday (April 26) urged people living near two rivers in the province, one to the north of Pemba and the other to the south, to move to higher ground as rivers began to fill up and overflow. Cyclone Kenneth, packing storm surges and winds of up to 280 km per hour, struck Mozambique's northern coast just six weeks after Cyclone Idai, which flattened the port city of Beira and left entire villages under water.

Sri Lankan President bans all types of face coverings to aid identification process

The order coming into effect on Monday, said any garment or item which obstructs the identification of a persons face would be barred.  It follows last Sunday attacks in which more than 250 people were killed. Some Muslim organisations had also come forward and suggested ban on burqa to help stabilize the security situation. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremsinghe has urged parliament to speed up the enaction of law against terrorist activities. He said in a statement that Sri Lanka's existing anti-terrorism laws were enacted in 1979 to combat domestic activities and a new bill was presented to parliament in 2018, but a committee in charge was still sitting on it. He said in a statement that the third article of the bill prevents any individual or group that threatens or acts against the laws of a foreign government or its operations. Sri Lankan prime minister had earlier accepted that some of fundamentalists could not be arrested for their links with ISIS because there i

Chasing DC's total of 187/5, RCB managed to score 171/7 as the Delhi boys recorded their eighth win to take their tally to 16 points from 12 games. RCB are all but out of the tournament after suffering their eighth defeat of the season. RCB started the run chase beautifully with Parthiv Patel tearing into the DC attack and skipper Virat Kohli looking happy to play the second fiddle. But just when it looked like RCB would run away with the game, Kagiso Rabada sent back Parthiv (39; 31 balls, 4x7, 6x1), caught brilliantly by Axar Patel. The score read 63/1 after 5.5 overs. AB de Villiers then joined Kohli and the two looked to settle down, thanks to the brisk start given by Parthiv. But Kohli (23) ended up hitting a half tracker from Axar straight to Sherfane Rutherford at deep mid-wicket. The score read 68/2 in the 8th over. De Villiers (17) too failed to convert his start as Axar took a brilliant catch at deep mid-wicket off Rutherford. Shivam Dube (24) too was dismissed agains
