Justice S.A. Bobde, heading a bench that included Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian, said. He did not specify if he was referring to the media’s alleged portrayal of Muslims as deliberate spreaders of the coronavirus, or to the government’s affidavit that the court had found to contain “nonsensical averments”, or to a general trend.
"We were innocent but our visas were refused or revoked and the government gave us no way to defend ourselves. Our futures were destroyed and we were left to fight a years-long legal battle costing each of us tens of thousands of pounds," reads the letter. "We write to you because it is within your power to right this wrong, to put an end to our detention, deportation and humiliation. Allow us to prove our innocence by establishing a free and transparent scheme - independent of the Home Office - through which we can get our cases to be reviewed and clear our names," the letter adds. "The coronavirus pandemic has made our situation even worse. Our support networks have collapsed, the charities we rely on have been closed, our friends and families are unable to help as they are struggling themselves.

Trump calls Virus grabs centre stage virtual debate at Vice-President debate ‘ridiculous’ High-stakes standoff between US president and the Commission on Presidential Debates
HiIndia Newsdesk The Commission on Presidential Debates said on Thursday that the next debate between President Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. would be held virtually because of health concerns about the coronavirus. But President Trump immediately dismissed the idea, declaring that he would not participate and calling the idea of a remote debate “ridiculous”. The high-stakes standoff between Trump
and the debate organisers emerged on Thursday morning, after the commission, with no warning to campaign representatives, said the October 15 debate would feature candidates debating remotely “in order to protect the health and safety of all involved”. But Trump, who tested positive last week for the coronavirus, immediately objected to the concept in a television interview, saying: “I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate, that’s not what debating is all about. You sit behind a computer and do a debate — it’s ridiculous.” “That’s not acceptable to us,” Trump told the anchor Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business of the virtual debate format. “I’m not going to do a virtual debate.”

God of guitar, Van Halen, dead Nobel for identifying HiIndia Newsdesk hepatitis C virus Eddie Van Halen, the pioneering guitar player whose hard-rocking band emerged from the Sunset Strip music scene in Los Angeles in the early 1970s to stand at the top of rock ‘n’ roll for a decade, died of cancer on Tuesday. He was 65. Van Halen’s death was announced by his 29-year-old son, Wolfgang, a bass player who joined the band, best known for songs like Jump and Ain’t Talkin ’Bout Love, in later years. People magazine reported the rocker died at a Los Angeles-area hospital with his wife, Janie, son and other family members at his side.
HiIndia Newsdesk Two Americans and a Briton won the 2020 Nobel Prize for Medicine on Monday for identifying the hepatitis C virus, in work spanning decades that has helped to limit the spread of the fatal disease and develop drugs to cure it. The discoveries by Harvey Alter, Charles Rice and Briton Michael Houghton mean there is now a chance of eradicating the hepatitis C virus — a goal the World Health Organisation wants to achieve in the next decade.
HiIndia Newsdesk Vice-President Mike Pence and Democratic challenger Kamala Harris clashed over the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic during their debate on Wednesday, as the White House struggled to contain an outbreak that has infected President Donald Trump and dozens of others. The policy-heavy, relatively sedate debate stood in stark contrast to last week’s chaotic presidential showdown between Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe
Biden, which was marred by Trump’s constant interruptions and personal insults from both men. Trump’s Covid-19 diagnosis, along with his age and that of Biden, added weight to the debate, as both Pence, 61, and Harris, 55, sought to demonstrate they were capable of assuming the office if needed. Either the Republican Trump, 74, or Biden, 77, would be the oldest US President to be sworn into office if victorious in November.
American poet Louise Glück wins Literature Nobel ‘Her works are characterized by a striving for clarity… she has an unmistakable poetic voice that makes individual existence universal’
HiIndia Newsdesk The Nobel Prize in literature was awarded to Louise Glück, the American poet, “for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.” The award was announced Thursday at a news conference in Stockholm.

She is the first American to win since Bob Dylan in 2016. Her 12 collections include “The Wild Iris” for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1993, and “Faithful and Virtuous Night” from 2014.

She has published 12 collections of poetry and some volumes of essays on poetry.

Freedom of speech ‘most abused’
HiIndia Newsdesk An exasperated Supreme Court on Thursday observed that the “freedom of speech may be the most abused freedom in recent times”. The comment came as the court rapped the Centre for filing an “evasive” affidavit through a “junior” on a plea that alleged that some media outlets were “demonising” Muslims over the spread of the pandemic. “Well, they (the Union government) are entitled to make any argument like you people (lawyers) also make… but this freedom of speech may be the most abused freedom in recent times,” Chief Justice S.A. Bobde, heading a bench that included Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian, said. He did not specify if he was referring to the media’s alleged portrayal of Muslims as deliberate spreaders of the coronavirus, or to the government’s affidavit that the court had found to contain “nonsensical averments”, or to a general trend.

Stolen ancient Shiva statue finds India’s SpiceJet flies into way back to India from UK London with low-cost options
HiIndia Newsdesk A rare late ninth century stone Shiva statue, which had been a prominent display at India House in central London, has been safely repatriated to the Archaeological
Survey of India (ASI). The stone Nataraj/Natesha murti, in “chatura pose with jatamakuta and trinetra” almost four-feet-tall and a rare depiction of Lord Shiva in the Prathihara style of Rajasthan, was stolen in February 1998 from Ghateshwar Temple in Baroli, Rajasthan.

He voluntarily returned the idol to the Indian High Commission in the UK in 2005,” said the High Commission of India in the UK.

Two Dubai-based Indian teachers were conducting online classes from their respective quarantine centres after they were tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the media reported on Tuesday. The teachers, Mohammed Mohsin and Jose Kumar from Gulf Model School, made sure their students did not miss any lesson even when they tested positive for the virus. Lodged at a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) quarantine facility, Mohsin, a Math teacher originally from Karnataka, said: "I tested positive for Covid-19 when we were asked to return to schools after the summer break and undergo screenings. "The mandatory coronavirus test revealed I was infected. I was immediately taken to an isolation
centre, but thankfully, I carried my laptop with me." He tested positive soon after returning to Dubai from India. "I don't know where I contracted the disease... I called up my school and informed them of my situation. The school authorities advised me to take leave and rest for some time. But I insisted on teaching. I didn't tell any of my students because I didn't want them to be worried. "I had enough strength to teach so I thought I should continue teaching instead of wasting time," Mohsin added. Meanwhile, Kumar, a Kerala native, contracted the disease after his roommate, who works at the airport, tested positive.
HiIndia Newsdesk An academic from Newnham College at the University of Cambridge, Dr Manali Desai, has made history as the first woman of Indian heritage to take over as the Head of the Sociology Department of the prestigious UK university in its 811-year history. Dr Desai, a Reader in Comparative and Historical Sociology and Fellow of Newnham College whose work focuses on social movements, ethnic and gendered violence and post-colonial studies, takes charge as Chair of the department at the start of the new academic year this autumn. “Sociology gives us the tools to be able to investigate and understand the world around us and so I think the department is a good place to be during periods of such upheaval,” said Dr Desai, in reference to her appointment amid the coronavirus pandemic and global movements such as Black Lives Matter.“We are living through a period of ferment and we are at a crucial juncture when fundamental questions about our very existence are at stake. The discipline of sociology has always tackled the big questions, be it climate change, war, poverty, and intersectional social inequalities,” she said.

HiIndia Newsdesk Jaipur: A priest in Rajasthan’s Karauli district, round 177 km from state capital Jaipur, died due to burn injuries after he was attacked by a group of people over a land dispute. The priest had about thirteen bighas (around 5.2 acres) of land which belonged to the Radha Krishna temple trust in a village in the district. But the land was given to the head priest to till as a source of income. Lands like these, which belong to temple trusts, are generally given to
caretaker priests for their use in return for the fact that they perform the pujas and carry out rituals in village temples. Such lands are called “Mandir Mafi “ and are a source of income for priests who are caretakers of village temples in Rajasthan. But this land became the source of a dispute in Rajasthan’s Karauli. The village priest, Babu Lal Vaishnav, wanted to build a house for himself on a plot close to his land which is bordered by a small hillock.

Nobel prize in chemistry for mothers of gene ‘scissors’
Tighter H1B vigil spooks Indian job market
HiIndia Newsdesk Two scientists won the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic “scissors” that can rewrite the code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies and holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

Cases in north of England 'getting out of control', minister says HiIndia Newsdesk
Coronavirus is "getting out of control" in the north of England, a minister has said, as she defended government plans to bring in new restrictions. Gillian Keegan, minister for skills and apprenticeships, said the country was in an "unbelievably serious situation". But she acknowledged that communication with areas facing new measures needed to be clearer. It comes as Sir Keir Starmer called for local leaders to be "in the room" and included in local lockdown decisions. The Labour leader accused the government of "operating under the misguided, arrogant and counterproductive view that 'Whitehall knows best'".
France's maximum-alert level comes into force when the infection rate in a locality exceeds 250 infections per 100,000 people and at least 30% of intensive care beds are reserved for Covid-19 patients. Hospitals in the Paris region moved into emergency mode on Thursday, as coronavirus patients took up almost half of intensive-care beds. France's coronavirus situation mirrors that of other European countries, including the Netherlands, Poland, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, which all reported record increases in daily cases on Thursday.
North Korea gears up for 'biggest military parade'
North Korea is preparing for what is expected to be the largest military parade in its history. Thousands of soldiers have practised for months to ensure that each step is marched with precision and each fervent cry of adoration will be heard by the Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. These events are often ostentatious formal displays of military might to show a devoted people paying homage to their leader in closely directed goose-stepping drills. Mistakes are not tolerated. But these parades can also be part provocation. A chance to show off new missiles and weaponry despite being under strict economic sanctions.
Lifting lockdowns amid high infections won’t boost GDP, IMF says Lifting lockdowns is unlikely to lead to a decisive and sustained economic boost as long as Covid-19 infections remain elevated, because people will probably keep avoiding social interactions out of fear of contracting the virus, the International Monetary Fund said. New IMF research shows that while government lockdowns contributed significantly to the global recession, the slowdown was also driven in large part by people continuing to exercise voluntary social distancing, the fund said in a blog post Thursday, accompanying a chapter from its updated World Economic Outlook. The fund will publish new forecasts on Oct. 13 during its annual meeting with the World Bank.

A Prabhu, a 36-year-old Dalit MLA, married Soundarya on Monday morning at his residence. The bride’s father, who did not agree to the wedding, tried to barge into their residence and attempt suicide. A senior police officer said: “It is a fact that both the MLA and the girl had a relationship. Girl’s parents complained that the MLA was in love with her for the past four years (even when she was a minor) while the MLA claims that their affair was hardly four months old.” The bride’s father said Prabhu grew up with them for several years at their home and that they always considered him as their son. He alleged that Prabhu had “broken that trust”. He claimed his daughter was lured into a relationship and that she wasn’t prepared for a wedding as there’s an age gap of 17 years between the couple.

TRP GAME
Mumbai Police chief says no vendetta against any channel, complaint filed by private firm Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami accused the police commissioner of making false allegations because he had questioned him in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
programmes are viewed the most. It gives an index of the choice of the people and also the popularity of a particular channel. The private firm that filed the complaint, Hansa, assesses viewership. Param Bir Singh said the Broadcast Audience Research Council, or BARC, has also provided them with evidence of rigged ratings. “We have got evidence from BARC on suspicious patterns,” he added. “We are collecting more evidence. Any advertising revenue made by manipulating ratings is a crime. We will investigate that. We have three months to do so.” Explaining how the police zeroed in on the racket, Singh said BARC had identified a suspicious trend. “The names of households were shared by BARC and Hansa,” he added. “The households told us they were paid money to watch channels to raise TRPs. We have called three witnesses who were paid money to watch a particular channel.”
The Mumbai Police on Thursday clarified that their investigation into television rating points or TRP manipulation by three television channels was based on a complaint by a private firm, reported NDTV. “The complaint was lodged by independent agency Hansa, not us,” said Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh. “Suspicious trends were noticed by them, not us. They noticed suspicious trends of ratings or certain channels. They shared details of discrepancies.” Earlier in the day, the Mumbai Police said it was looking into allegations of TRP manipulation by Republic TV and two other Marathi television channels. Four people allegedly associated with a false TRP racket have been arrested so far. Officials of Republic TV, which claims the highest TRPs among news channels, are likely to be summoned by investigators either on Friday or Saturday. TRPs are a tool provided to judge which
'Those Who Agree...': Ishkaran Backs Republic & Arnab Over Mumbai CP's False Allegations
India Today named in FIR
Republic TV accessed the FIR filed by the Mumbai Police on the complaint of Nitin Deokar, the Deputy General Manager of the Hansa Research Group Private Limited. This company is responsible for installing and maintaining the Bar-O-Meter of the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC). Arrested by the Mumbai Police, Vishal Bhandari- the Relationship Manager of the Hansa Research Group Private Limited has revealed that India Today and other channels instigated him and offered money to panel homes, where Bar-O-Meter is installed. As per the complainant, some persons try to increase the ratings by making panel homes watch certain channels against payment of money. Furthermore, Deokar revealed that a person named Vinay asked Bhandari in November 2019 to approach 5 homes and ask them to watch India Today daily for two hours. As per Bhandari’s own confession to the BARC Vigilance team, Vinay paid him Rs.5000 as commission for distributing Rs.1000 among 5 panel homes. An audit inquiry by BARC confirmed that 5 households were indeed bribed to watch India Today daily for a minimum of two hours from November 2019 to May 2020.
Here is Arnab's full statement: "The Mumbai Police Commissioner has been completely and totally exposed. A copy of the FIR in the TRP case mentions India Today as the channel to be investigated. In fact, India Today has been mentioned multiple times in the FIR. There is not a single mention of Republic TV. Now, the main witness in the case has also gone on record and named India Today as the English channel for which financial compensation was allegedly provided to gain viewership. The complaint against India Today was made on October 6. Param Bir Singh closes the investigation against India Today within 16 hours and does a press conference against Republic TV. Now, that the FIR is out and the critical witness is on record, and the Mumbai Police Commissioner has been caught red-handed. He must, in the interest of morality, quit."
Sharing a hashtag backing Republic Media Network, Ishakaran urged all his followers to tweet and retweet #WesupportArnabGoswami Advocate Ishkaran Bhandari on Thursday extended support to Republic Media Network's Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami after Mumbai Police Commissioner placed false allegations against the Network over TRPs. Sharing a hashtag backing Republic Media Network, Ishakaran urged all his followers to tweet and retweet #WesupportArnabGoswami to extend their support

My work is mostly derived from the infinite
T
he 53-year-old music director said he tries to stay away from chaos while working on his music as it is a spiritual process for him. “In art, you get inspired by higher ideals, higher inspirations and higher things in life. If you derive something from nature, from a universal feeling or a consciousness, then there’s greatness in your work. And often, we are forced to derive from smaller things, but I feel my work is mostly derived from the infinite, whether it’s a feeling or a musical bit or whether it’s a soundscape. “I try to position myself to stay away from the chaos which is around us and try to derive from there,” AR Rahman told PTI in a Zoom interview. The composer, who has attained the status of a global music icon with magnificent discography as well as Oscar and Grammy wins to his credit, said there are times when artistes are pushed to follow a certain trend and that leads to mediocrity. “If you have a song and then somebody wants you to make that kind of a song again, then it becomes mediocre,” he added. Rahman, however, said he respects different points of view of the people in the film industry as they
Salman Khan resumes Radhe shoot after over six months
Superstar Salman Khan on Sunday announced he has resumed shooting for his action-drama Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. The 54-year-old actor was shooting for the Prabhudheva directorial before the lockdown was announced in March. Taking to Instagram, Khan shared a picture from the set, wearing a jacket, with his back facing the camera. “Back to shoot after six and a half months. Feels good,” he captioned the picture. The film, which reunites Khan with his “Bharat” co-star Disha Patani, was earlier scheduled to hit the screens on May 22. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, two songs and some patchwork of about five days of the movie was yet to be finished.
AR Rahman
AR Rahman's journey from a young boy from Madras to one of the most celebrated artistes across the globe has been traced in the latest episode of National Geographic's Mega Icons season two, which premiered on Sunday.
all share the same goal of making people happy. He believes the industry gives different mindsets a space to coexist and there is no “elitisim”. “I respect that there are various people and they make the whole industry colourful with different mindsets, but all of us have one goal – to make the person who is watching or listening, happy. Everything coexists, there’s no elitism. It is a great thing and I admire that in everyone I meet. I respect everybody equally, not that this person is smaller or this work is smaller. So, I feel like my part is done in the world and I’ve made people happy.” The composer, who started his journey in movies with Mani Ratnam’s 1992 film Roja, went on to create memorable soundtracks for films Bombay, Rangeela, Daud, Dil Se, Taal and Lagaan, Saathiya, Swades, Yuva, Rang De Basanti and Rockstar among others. AR Rahman said he always aspires to create music which resonates with people across age, gender, caste, class and interest. In his almost three decade-long career across languages, he believes he has been fortunate enough to work with people who strive to achieve harmony.

hah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan on Tuesday took to social media to discuss colourism. Stating that she has been facing derogatory and hurtful remarks about her skin tone from an early age, Suhana requested fans to ‘end colourism.’ “There’s a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! This isn’t just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full grown men and women, since I was 12 years old. Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what’s sad is that we are all Indians, which automatically makes us brown — yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t,” Suhana stated in a note on Instagram. Suhana Khan wrote that only people insecure about how they look can resort to such mean methods to put others down. “Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure. I’m sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking or even your own families have convinced you that if you’re not 5’7 and fair you’re not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I’m 5’3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too.

Bigg Boss 14 A never-ending introduction episode
A
fter a long wait, television’s most popular reality show Bigg Boss is back with its fourteenth season. The grand premiere aired on Saturday with host Salman Khan taking charge and introducing the new lot of housemates. The Bollywood superstar shared how the team had been working extra hard during the pandemic, to bring to the audience their daily dose of drama. The new season opened up with Salman promising that Bigg Boss 14 will give 2020 a befitting reply. Giving the viewers a shock, the channel used old footage from award shows to give a feel of the in-studio audience. One could see Anil Kapoor, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Diljit Dosanjh among others cheering for Salman. The host also took the opportunity to talk about the importance of taking precautionary measures. As he promised a bigger,
Bigg Boss 14: The contestants who stood out in the premiere episode were Pavitra Punia, Eijaz Khan, Nikki Tamboli and Rahul Vaidya. The ones who also seem to have potential are Rubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla, Jasmin Bhasin and Shehzad Deol.
Bad Boy Billionaires India
India is a refresher course on how some individuals can hold and wield too much power, that they seem to beyond reproach. The documentary series brings home that truth and how. Contrary to the people it features — the big, bad flamboyant newsmakers of Indian business — the documentary series Bad Boy Billionaires: India dropped rather quietly on Netflix today. The three episodes of the documentary series feature the stories of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Subrata Roy who have been in the news for charges of fraud, money laundering and defrauding public sector banks. A fourth episode revolving around IT giant Ramalinga Raju is currently unavailable on the streaming service. For starters, let’s make it clear that the series — which has a separate director for each individual episode — doesn’t shed any new light on these three newsmakers. Everything that the makers showcase is very much available in the public domain. But what it does is, bring all that information together coherently and weave a pretty engrossing narrative. Divided into three separate episodes, the one with Mallya is called ‘The King of Good Times’, the one with Modi is aptly titled ‘Diamonds aren’t forever’, and the one featuring Roy is called ‘The world’s biggest family’. The series crunches inches and inches of newsprint and hours and hours of news footage into a ‘Cliffs Notes’ version of what really happened. It’s how the narrative is stitched that
is noteworthy.
Mallya is called ‘The King of Good Times’, the one with Modi is aptly titled ‘Diamonds aren’t forever’, and the one featuring Roy is called ‘The world’s biggest family’. We get a snea;k peek into the world of Vijay Mallya, and his lavish parties and how he craved glamour and liked being the centre of attention. The episode with Mallya is particularly well done, as we hear from his son Sid Mallya, Kiran Majumder-Shaw (a family friend) and many people who were close to him. Industry experts and other journalists who followed this story are featured in the episode. We go through the whole gamut, as we see the meteoric rise of Mallya, and his eventual crash and the Rs 9000 crore loan that he had defaulted upon. A similar storyline is woven for Nirav Modi, this jeweller who had risen out of nowhere, and was even featured on the cover of Sothebys.
better and more entertaining season, he also gave a glimpse of the empty studio, informing the audience that this time, he would be connecting with some of them digitally. Host Salman Khan then welcomed the ‘Toofani Seniors’ – Hina Khan, Sidharth Shukla and Gauahar Khan. The trio promised to make the season more challenging for the contestants. While Gauahar is in charge of the kitchen, Hina is responsible for everyone’s personal belongings. Sidharth will look after the bedroom this season. After 14 days, the ‘Toofani Seniors’ will decide which housemate (all the housemates’ status is now TBC or To Be Confirmed) gets to continue the game.
After Pic Of Sanjay Dutt Goes Viral, Fans Wish Him A Speedy Recovery

The picture raised concerns about the actor's health among his fans. Sanjay Dutt's fans wished the actor a speedy recovery. "Get well soon, Baba," many fans wrote on Instagram.

Massive 17-Foot White Shark Dubbed "Queen Of The Ocean"
Man Seeks Bride "Not Addicted To Social Media." Good Luck, Says Twitter A matrimonial ad seeking a bride who is "not addicted to social media" has created a huge buzz online. While many matrimonial ads in the past have been criticised for being regressive and sexist, this one has gone viral for its rather unusual demand in a day and age where most people use at least one social media platform. The ad was placed in a newspaper by a 37-year-old lawyer from West Bengal. A picture of the ad was shared on Twitter this Saturday by IAS officer Nitin Sangwan, who commented on the changing matchmaking criteria of our times while posting it. In the ad, the Kamarpukur man seeking a prospective bride states his own age, occupation and place of residence before writing: "With no
demand groom seeks fair, beautiful, tall, slim bride. Bride must not be addicted in social media." "Prospective brides/grooms please pay attention," wrote Mr Sangwan on Twitter while sharing the pic. "Matchmaking criteria are changing," he added. The tweet has garnered hundreds of 'likes' and comments on the microblogging platform. The ad's demand for a bride not addicted to social media has left netizens in splits, with many wondering how this criteria would be met in a day and age where most people use Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, if not all of them. Many Twitter users, in fact, wondered if the whole ad was a joke and dropped amused comments and reactions.
A team of researchers in Canada has tagged a great white shark measuring more than 17 feet in length. Dubbed "Queen of the Ocean", the shark was discovered by a team from nonprofit organisation Ocearch in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Friday, reports The Mirror. At 17 feet 2 inches long, she is the largest shark that the organisation has ever tagged. "She is a very old creature, a proper queen of the ocean and a matriarch. She has all the scars, healed wounds and discolourations that tell a deep, rich story of her life going back years," Ocearch expedition leader Chris Fischer was quoted as saying by Yahoo News.
The group named the shark "Nukumi" (pronounced noo-goo-mee) after the legendary wise old grandmother figure of the Native American Mi'kmaq people. Nukumi weighs a whopping 3,541 pounds - which is slightly over 1,600 kilograms. "Meet 3,541 pound mature female white shark Nukumi. We named her 'Nukumi', pronounced noo-goo-mee, for the legendary wise old grandmother figure of the Native American Mi'kmaq people. A culture that has deep roots in Canadian Maritime provinces (particularly Nova Scotia)," Ocearch wrote on Facebook.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton's Hilarious Tweet After Former was in the middle of an MSNBC interview being conducted over Zoom when the video service chimed in to remind her Reaching Zoom's Time Limit On TV conferencing that her meeting would end in 10 minutes.
Nagpur Police's Banking Safety Message Uses ROFL Varun Chakravarthy Meme Nagpur Police's message on cyber security, delivered with a humorous pic of Varun Chakravarthy, has won much praise on the microblogging platform. Nagpur Police's long-running campaign on banking safety and security has utilized several topical memes and jokes. Back in June, the police department had used a still from Gulabo Sitabo shortly after the film's release to urge people not to share their OTP with others. Now, their IPL meme explains, with one hilarious picture of Varun Chakravarthy, the pitfalls of sharing your OTP with anyone else. An OTP or a One Time Password is randomly generated and sent to a user's phone via SMS. This password can be used once to complete a transaction. Considered to be more secure than static or user-generated passwords, OTPs are used to authenticate bank transactions, which means that they must not be shared with strangers. Nagpur Police used a picture of Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Varun Chakravarthy to spread awareness on OTP fraud. The picture shows Varun Chakravarthy looking anxious - his eyes wide and hands clutching his hair. According to the police department, his worried expression is similar to the one that a person would wear after sharing " an OTP with a so called 'Bank Employee speaking from the Head Office'".
"You meeting will end in 10 min. Contact your IT team to upgrade to Zoom Pro for unlimited meeting minutes," Zoom told Ms Clinton through a pop-up notification. It seems like neither the TV channel nor the former presidential candidate had upgraded their Zoom accounts, preferring to use the free version where meetings can only go on for 40 minutes. A picture of Zoom's pop-up notification blocking Hillary Clinton's face on national television quickly went viral on social media - earning an amused response from the politician herself.
Share Pics Of My Ancestral House, Dilip Kumar Requests People In Peshawar
Bollywood veteran Dilip Kumar, 97, received a glimpse of his ancestral house in Peshawar, thanks to a journalist from Pakistan. On Tuesday, journalist Shiraz Hassan posted four photographs of Dilip Kumar's ancestral house, which is over a 100 years old and located in the heart of Peshawar city in Pakistan. The actor responded this afternoon, thanking him for the pictures and requesting "all in Peshawar" to share photos of the house, if they had any. Dilip Kumar's ancestral house was declared a national heritage site in 2014 by the then Nawaz Sharif government. It made the news recently when the provincial government in Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa decided to purchase it in a bid to conserve the historic building, which today lies in shambles. Situated in the fabled Qissa Khwani Bazar, this is the house where the Mughal-e-Azam actor spent his early years before the partition. It is situated in the same neighbourhood as Raj Kapoor's ancestral home, which will also be purchased by the government. "Thank you for sharing this," wrote Dilip Kumar while responding to the pics. "Requesting all in #Peshawar to share photos of my ancestral house (if you've clicked the pic) and tag #DilipKumar."

Looks like a modern-day Indian princess Nora Fatehi
N
ora Fatehi has an enviable wardrobe– be it bright athleisure, decadent gowns or shimmery dresses. The actor has a versatile sense of style. Thus, when she took to Instagram recently to share her recent pictures, we couldn’t help but be in awe of how stunning she looked because it is not every day when you get to see Fatehi in nine yards. Check out below to know what we are talking about. The simple sari from the house of Sabyasachi reminds us of the fresh spring season. The sari in off-white organza had florals printed in canary yellow, baby pink and leaf motifs in bottle green. The sari also featured a champagne coloured gota patti. The actor was styled by Maneka Harisinghani.For her accessories, she went for a classy set of pearl necklace paired with pearl earrings encased in golden circles. With a soft side-swept blowout, the dancer went for a monochromatic makeup look– flushed cheeks with rosy eye shadow and a hint of mascara. She pulled it all together with a barely-there lip tint
The actor captioned the photo, "They say that people in your life are seasons, and everything that happens is for a reason."

t the commencement address in Maharishi University of Management, Jim Carrey gave a memorable motivational speech, infusing life lessons with humour the way only he can. “I am here to plant a seed today. A seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiastic hearts and a clear sense of wholeness. The question is, will that seed have a chance to take root, or will I be sued by Monsanto, and forced to use their seed, which may not be totally Ayurvedic,” he began. Giving context to his own weary state, he went on to say, “Excuse me if I seem a little low energy tonight — today — whatever this is. I slept with my head to the North last night. Oh man! Oh man! You know how that is, right kids? Yah! Woke up right in the middle of Pitta and couldn’t get back to sleep till Vata rolled around. Crazy, but I didn’t freak out you know. I used that time to eat a large meal, connect with someone special on Tinder. Because life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. How do I know this? I don’t, but I’m making sound, and that’s the important thing. That’s what I’m here to do. Sometimes, I think that’s the only thing that is important. Just letting each other know we’re here, reminding each other that we are part of a larger self.”

The sound of the thunderous rain in her background couldn’t faze an emotional Kavita Krishnamurthy as she recounted the days when a cup of chai would sustain artistes for 10 hours while recording a song. She, among other artistes, was speaking at an online press meet for a forthcoming virtual fundraising art gala I Believe #ArtMatters. The pandemic-triggered lockdown has crippled the ecosystem, she said. The nadaswaram man, who plays at weddings, like at her own, the chenda and shehnai players, who were paid by the hour or day, their livelihood has stopped, and that of small artistes and instrument makers, completely destroyed. As also, the sound and light boys, mic and stage arranger, etc., said the Padma Shri singer, who has rendered her voice to more than 25,000 songs in 16 languages. “By our estimation, there are 10 million jobs in the formal sector in the arts arena, nine million of which are at risk right now or have disappeared.

All you who need sleep tonight The COVID pandemic has had a deep impact on our mental health. An increasing number of people are reporting anxiety and disturbed sleep. A report published by American Academy of Neurology says that some specialists have termed it “COVID-somnia”. Doctors here are reporting a sharp increase in patients with sleep disorders. The key to tackling insomnia is mastering our fears and anxieties. It can be done through strengthening the body and mind through exercise, diet and discipline. Mindful exercising for active stress
Studies have shown that regular mindful exercise reduces symptoms of insomnia and decreases anxiety and depression. It reduces production of stress hormones, leads to decreased hypervigilance and has a calming effect on the mind.
Conventional exercising for passive stress
Many of us continue to work from home, some with much reduced workload. Reduced activity, longer hours indoors and social isolation have affected the biological clock (circadian rhythm) of many. Staying awake till late night, television and exposure to anxiety-provoking news have perpetuated insomnia.
Diet and discipline
We recommend developing mindful eating habits. Avoid intake of stimulants such as coffee, chocolate and sugary drinks (cola, processed juices) four hours before bedtime. Binge-eating at night, snacking on processed food are all “un-mindful diet”.
How risky is keto
Actor Misti Mukherjee's unfortunate demise raises questions on the health risks of dieting While dieting is a common practice these days, death due to a certain kind of diet was previously unheard of. Until it was learnt that actor Misti Mukherjee’s demise was because of kidney failure caused by the ‘keto diet’ — which has gained a lot of popularity in the recent past. A statement made by her family claims the actor — who is survived by her parents and brother — “was in a lot of pain”.
What is the keto diet?
It entails the consumption of high amounts of fat with adequate amounts of protein and fewer carbohydrates. Also known as KD, this diet is particularly followed by diabetics because it can cause massive reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. Nutritionist Ruchi Sharma, however, points out the keto diet is “primarily used to help reduce seizures in children’s suffering from epilepsy”. “Avoiding carbs and substituting it with proteins and fats has become a leading dogma among those who are looking to lose weight quickly,” she says.
How does a keto diet lead to kidney failure?
Dr Pradip Shah, Consultant Physician at Fortis Hospital, Mulund tells indianexpress.com: “This is a rare case and usually happens when there is a pre-existing disease and someone then continues to follow the diet. Keto diet requires one to eat high
amounts of fat alongside proteins and fewer carbohydrates. When a person continues to do this, it affects the kidneys.” Adding to it, Sharma says: “We see people doing keto with processed cheese and butter, which when done for prolonged periods of time, can increase the risk of high cholesterol; also high protein can put pressure on kidneys. When we eat a high amount of protein while doing a keto it may overload the kidney.” Drastically reducing carbohydrates and overloading the kidneys can lead to some problem in elimination of all the waste products of protein metabolism. Dr Shah suggests a person should follow the diet only for six months. If they continue, they need to take a break for 1-2 months at least, and then get on with the same.
Are there any other diets that can lead to organ failure?
Dr Shah says any diet which contains consuming fewer carbohydrates for a longer period of time can cause failure. “However, another specific diet is the ‘paleo diet’ also known as the ‘stone-age diet’. It is a modern fad diet which requires one to mirror the kind of diet followed during the Paleolithic era.” He also mentions that “consuming sugary beverages such as aerated drinks or soft drinks and highly-processed food frequently, can harm the kidneys”. Not only that, preservatives in food items contain phosphorous and sodium, which affect the kidney to a larger extent, he warns. While many different diseases, toxins and drugs can lead to renal failures, by far the most common causes of kidney diseases are diabetes and high blood pressure which can damage the delicate blood vessels and tissues of the kidneys.
Zero magic A
rtificial sweeteners hold the promise of satisfying your sweet tooth without the downside of excess calories, and they are increasingly used in products ranging from diet sodas and powdered drink mixes to yogurt and baked goods. But whether using them can prevent weight gain — a problem that many people are struggling with during the coronavirus lockdowns — has long been an open question. Now some studies are providing answers. Researchers have found that artificial sweeteners can be useful as a tool to help people kick their sugar habits, and that for some people, replacing sugar with non-nutritive sweeteners can indeed help stave off weight gain. But they can also have effects on hormones, blood sugar and other aspects of metabolism that some experts say are concerning, and they caution against consuming them routinely for long periods of time. “The idea we need to get rid of is that because they have zero calories they have zero metabolic effects,” said Marta Yanina Pepino, an assistant professor in the department of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US. “Our data suggests that they are metabolically active, and depending on how frequently you use them, some people can see more effects than others.”

Kelly Gallivan-Ilarraza Becomes the New Specialty Court Coordinator for Cook County COOK CUNTY CIRCUIT COURT NEWS RELEASE L CHICAGO, IL - Kelly Gallivan-Ilarraza, a specialist in the field of problem-solving alternatives in criminal court cases, will be the new Specialty Court Coordinator starting October 1, Circuit Court of Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans announced on Thursday. “As director of specialty courts, Kelly GallivanIlarraza will be responsible for integrating these courts throughout the system by expanding existing courts and developing new ones,” said Judge Evans. “She also will help in establishing protocols, training and evaluation to ensure their continued success.” Sometimes called problem-solving courts, specialty courts seek to help criminal defendants charged with low-level offenses and suffering from an underlying mental health, social or substance abuse problem avoid becoming repeat offenders.
Kelly Gallivan-Ilarraza Specialty courts achieve this goal by providing treatment and intensive supervision. The Cook County Circuit Court has a countywide network of specialty courts that includes Drug Treatment Courts, Mental Health Treatment
Courts, Veterans’ Treatment Courts and a Restorative Justice Community Court. Two more Restorative Justice courts opened last month on the Northwest and South Sides of Chicago. Specialty courts are characterized by collaborative planning, a team approach among legal stakeholders, supervised treatment and oversight, and regular hearings before judges who provide support, incentives and, where necessary, sanctions in order to improve the behavior of defendants. “Problem-solving court programs offer a necessary alternative to incarceration for people who suffer from mental illness and substance use disorders,” said Gallivan-Ilarraza. “Using a coordinated strategy, PSC teams provide participants with the best opportunity to make life-altering changes by employing services tailored for the individual. By enhancing and expanding the programs, we can provide these opportunities to more individuals in Cook County.”

Indian American Teen Creates Organization Inspired by BLM Movement
Suraj Kulkarni
BY A STAFF WRITER CORVALLIS, OR - An Indian American teenager in Corvallis, Oregon, has created the multicultural organization ‘Only Being You’, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, according to a news release. The organization, started by 17-year-old Covallis High School senior Suraj Kulkarni, is dedicated to empowering minority voices through discussions and writing. Since launching in July, the organization has received a lot of support. “He has been working on this project for a while and has put a lot of thought into it,” said Rajeshwari Gadasally, Kulkarni’s mother. Kulkarni has been working on the project for several few months, starting after attending his own city’s BLM protest. “I never expected that I would receive this much support from others, and I am so grateful that people love it,” Kulkarni said. According to the Indian American teenager, the only way to effectively help eliminate discriminatory tensions is through awareness. “A lot of people underestimate the power of writing and discussing; writing allows people to authentically express their thoughts and feelings, and discussions help create new perspectives. Even though discrimination and prejudice are quite systemic, spreading awareness is key,” said Kulkarni. So far, Only Being You conducts interviews of politicians, professors and public role models, has partnered up with more than 15 nonprofit organizations worldwide, has its own blog that features minority student voices, and holds conferences to give students opportunities to connect with others from all around the globe, and share their own experiences with each other, according to a news release. Kulkarni is also a nationally qualified debater, and thinks his experience in debate has helped increase his passion for social justice. Kulkarni also believes that going to Corvallis High School helped strengthen his confidence, the news release said. “Going to CHS and being surrounded by amazing teachers, staff, and students really helped me feel better about myself,” said Kulkarni. Kulkarni’s dream for Only Being You is that it keeps expanding and helps others become better allies, it said.

FDA Reaffirms Commitment to Safety, Security of its Public Health Laboratories FDA NEWS RELEASE WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s mission to protect and promote public health by ensuring the safety of the nation’s food supply, as well as the safety and efficacy of medical products, has always relied on a rigorous analysis of the scientific data available and a strong commitment to safety. We are dedicated to helping ensure the safety of the American public through our work and the safety of all of our staff by continuing to support and strengthen a culture that prioritizes workplace safety. FDA staff across the nation work diligently to help ensure the safety of FDA-regulated products. I’ve seen this same dedication in their shared commitment to protecting each other and prioritizing safety across the agency, including our laboratories across the country. As we work together to build upon our strong safety charge, I’ve recently stood up a new crossagency working group with support from the FDA’s senior leadership to optimize and further foster a holistic, cohesive, and collaborative safety culture. As part of their charge, the group will review our current organization structure and reporting relationships that support our safety program. This working group will explore best practices and incorporate and leverage the expertise of the existing safety councils within our agency to optimize ongoing efforts. The group will focus broadly on several areas in the safety space to include occupational safety and health, environmental safety, and laboratory safety; and will look to best practices in industry to determine if they can complement our regulatory organization. This effort is meant to strengthen the already robust safety measures that staff and senior leadership have implemented. I look forward to continuing my work with the FDA’s senior leadership to bolster an already strong culture of safety and security within the agency. As part of this broader safety effort, this new working group will also work to support ongoing safety initiatives at the FDA’s laboratories. We are committed to ensuring laboratory safety to
BP Stops Dangerous Human Smuggling Attempt
Office (GAO) issued several recommendations in a report to the FDA surrounding laboratory safety. We plan to use the input from this GAO study, along with the results of a multi-phase effort led by the agency’s Office of Planning and Evaluation, to update the current OLS Strategic Plan, which will further ensure the success of a strong laboratory safety program. Assessing and revising that plan is a key component to assuring continuous improvements and operational efficiency in FDA laboratory safety. protect our personnel and their research. To accomplish this important task, each center and office will continue to work collaboratively with the FDA’s Office of Laboratory Safety (OLS) to safeguard strong laboratory safety and security, and other laboratory-related environmental and occupational safety and health programs. This structure helps to leverage knowledge and experience from different laboratories, centers and offices at the agency to identify areas across the FDA that may benefit from agency-wide safety updates. It also creates a flexible model that can be adapted to reflect the diversity of research programs and potential hazards and risks that may be unique to specific programs or centers. Work carried out by the FDA experts at these laboratories is integral in informing regulatory decision-making and policy development, as well as in supporting efforts to help facilitate the development and availability of innovative, safe and effective medical products and a safe food supply. The FDA’s laboratories house more than 2,500 researchers and analysts, whose work contributes to the development of new approaches, standards, and methods for evaluating the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of the diverse and complex products we regulate. Across the FDA, laboratory facilities help advance the work that we do to support our regulatory mission, from facilitating development of safe and effective medical and veterinary products to helping ensure the safety of the American food supply. Recently, the Government Accountability
The OLS Strategic Plan includes an iterative process to help ensure that laboratory work processes and roles are reviewed, improved and revised as needed to ensure that the agency continues to stand ready to address public health challenges. Throughout the past months, as our agency has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have seen the pivotal role many of our laboratories have played in responding, and I’m committed to ensuring that our laboratories continue to have the full support of FDA leadership to maintain this high level of excellence. Safety and a commitment to scientific excellence remain at the core of the FDA’s mission and guide our work at our scientific research and analytical facilities and across all of our programs. All of the FDA’s leadership, scientists and staff continue to demonstrate their full dedication to a safe and secure work culture and environment. I look forward to building upon this strong foundation as we consider ways to enhance and support the importance of safety at our agency. The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.
Gandhi Nonviolence Rally Held in Naperville, IL BY A STAFF WRITER NAPERVILLE, IL- United for Peace Coalition of peace and interfaith organizations from all across Chicagoland area held a Gandhi Nonviolence Rally in Naperville IL, on Oct 2, 2020, a day that has been designated as the International Nonviolence Day by the United Nations, in honor of Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.

Coalition members felt that at this turbulent time in our nation’s history, when we are witnessing increased polarization and violent clashes in our cities, it is important to reinforce the principles of nonviolence and equal rights espoused by Gandhi in India’s freedom movement from British Colonial rule, and adopted by Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement in the US. The outdoor event was attended and addressed by many elected representativesIllinois State Senators Laura Ellman & Ram Villivalam, Naperville City Councilman Benny White, Aurora Alderman- Sherman Jenkins, Hanover Township trustee-Khaja Moinuddin and several others. Congressman Raja Krisnamoorthi send a written statement. He mentioned that in honor of Gandhi he had introduced a bipartisan resolution with other members of Congress to observe this day as the International Day of Nonviolence in The US. He said “It is a comfort to know that Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings continue to inspire countless people around the world,

Agents discovered two illegal aliens inside of the trunk of a smuggling vehicle Agents immediately provided the men with face masks and placed them in an air-conditioned patrol vehicle. The outside temperature at the time was near 100 degrees. The U.S. citizen driver was arrested on federal human smuggling charges. The two men, both Mexican nationals illegally present in the United States, were expelled to Mexico under Title 42 authority. Tucson Sector agents continue to encounter smugglers dangerously treating humans as cargo. Smugglers risk the lives of vulnerable people without regard for their health or safety, putting profit over human life.

protesting for the right to equality, fairness and justice for all…’in a gentle way you can shake the world’…I challenge you to shake the world”. Introducing the United for Peace Coalition, Shalini Gupta President of United for Peace said- “We work with all peace and interfaith organizations because if our mission is the same, we are stronger together. We want the collective voice for peace to be louder and stronger than the lobby for hate, guns and war machinery.” Regina Brent of Unity Partnership explained how MLK drew inspiration from Gandhi, and the role of nonviolence in the fight for racial justice. For the nonviolence ideology- Christ was the visionary, Gandhi was the engineer, and MLK was the builder, said Philip Bradley
from Non Violence Works. Maria Pike Board member of Everytown for Gun Safety, Chicago Survivors, Moms Demand Action talked about the violence that took her son’s life and continues to take lives of so many young people in Chicago. “Two families were destroyed-The shooter is in jail and I live in the jail of my daily grief”. Faith leaders from Christian, Muslim and Hindu faiths talked about the role of nonviolence in their religions. Pastor Moses from Hope Presbyterian Church, Wheaton opened the program singing the song- “All we need is love”. Debra Scarlett Parks closed the program, enthralling the audience with her songs- “Just Right” and “We Shall Overcome”.
BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK , NY — Fewer and fewer New York City parents want their children to be part of the city’s ambitious school reopening plan. Fully remote students now account for 50.2 percent of all enrollment citywide, according to Department of Education numbers released Monday. Roughly 504,000 students — or their parents for them — opted to attend classes from home during the coronavirus pandemic. When Phoebe received multiple notifications from her Ring Video Doorbell and Floodlight Cam, she immediately opened the Live View on her Ring App just in time to protect her home. The number started at 305,000 in August, or roughly 30 percent of enrollment. But it ticked up week by week as students left the school system’s blended learning model of alternating in-person and remote learning days.

Zeiss’ full-frame Android camera The Zeiss ZX1, a unique camera that was announced more than two years ago before the company essentially stopped talking about it, may actually be in customers’ hands at some point in the near future. As noted by DPReview, B&H Photo has sent out emails saying that it’s coming soon and is now available to preorder for $6,000. It was originally supposed to be released in early 2019. Why would anyone pay $6,000 for the ZX1? Well, it wouldn’t be wise to order without at least waiting for hands-on impressions of the finished product, but it is fair to say that it’s a one-of-a-kind camera. It has a 37-megapixel full-frame sensor, a fixed 35mm f/2 lens, an electronic viewfinder, and three dials to control aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. More unusually, it has a 4.3-inch touchscreen and runs a variant of Android, including a built-in version of Adobe Lightroom so you can edit right on the device itself. There’s also Wi-Fi, USB-C, and 512GB of onboard storage. The obvious comparison would be with Sony’s RX1 compact cameras, which also feature full-frame sensors and Zeiss-branded 35mm f/2 lenses; the last one cost $3,300 in 2015. They don’t run Lightroom, of course, but they are a lot smaller. Another comparison in the premium full-frame compact space would be the Leica Q2, which sells for $4,995.
Titan launches new watches with NFC for contactless payments
In order to achieve this functionality, Titan uses a secure Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip which is embedded in the watch strap. The NFC chip is developed by a Canada-based start-up company Tappy Technologies.
Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, people are resorting to contactless payments via Debit/Credit cards (with NFC), mobile wallets to avoid paying in cash. Keeping that in mind, Titan has launched its new series of watches that will have Titan Pay for contactless payments. For this, Titan partnered with the State Bank of India (SBI). Users will be able to make payments just by bringing the phone closer to the POS machines which are available in most shops, restaurants, petrol pumps etc. To make things clear, the Titan Pay-enabled watches are
not smartwatches. Users who have an account with SBI (YONO account holders) will be able to use Titan Pay. Payments up to Rs 2,000 can be done by just taking the watch near the POS machines whereas, for transactions more than the said amount, users will be required to enter their pin. “We already felt that this product was something the future was ready for and because of Covid suddenly the future was here and now,” said Suparna Mitra, Chief Executive Officer, watches and wearables division, at Titan.
Facebook working with Ray-Ban for first smart glasses, slated to launch in 2021
and visiting their factory, I knew that they were the right partner for us to help bring the best technology together with the best glasses,” Zuckerberg said during the Facebook Connect event.

Facebook will launch its first pair of smart glasses next year. The social media giant is working closely with Luxottica, the maker of Ray-Ban, to launch the first glasses.

Facebook isn’t willing to share more info about the smart glasses like what they will be called, or how much they might cost.
Runs fast, Runs hot Razer’s Blade 15
I
f you’ve seen one Razer Blade laptop in the past few years, you’ve essentially seen them all. The new Blade 15 Advanced is another one of those monochromatic, monolithic machines milled out of aluminum. But this one is a beast on the inside, with enough year-to-year improvements elsewhere to be worthy of your attention. At nearly the top of Razer’s configuration tree sits this $2,999 ($2,799 at the time of publishing) model that I’ve been testing for the last week. It has a powerful eight-core Intel Core i7-10875H processor, Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super Max-Q graphics chip, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and 16GB of RAM. Topping it off, it has a 1080p display with a 300Hz refresh rate. This configuration is powerful, and it has no issue playing all of today’s most demanding games at high frame rates with its display’s native 1080p resolution (yet ray tracing without hand-holding via Nvidia’s AI-assisted DLSS feature still presents a big challenge, as I’ll get into later). Pricing for the Blade 15 Advanced starts at $2,599, and that price will get you the same processor and 300Hz refresh rate display but with the Nvidia RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVMe SSD.
The smartwatch deserves the retro tag : Amazfit Neo
F
irst things first, Amazfit Neo is not your typical smar t watch or smar t fitness band. You don’t get a coloured and edge-to-edge display but what you get is a no-nonsense smartwatch which gives you the limited information you need to know. To simplify it more, Amazfit Neo is Saregama’s Caravaan in the age of fancy bluetooth speakers with their bass-heavy sound and mood lighting. The smartwatch launched in India earlier on Wednesday at a price of Rs 2,499. I used the watch for a short period of time and when I took it out of the box, it looked like a digital watch I used to wear when I was a kid. The kind of watch that kids like over the usual analog ones. Also, it makes that sound when you touch any of the four buttons on the side of the watch dial and can light up as well. The Amazfit Neo is clearly a retro-styled smartwatch as Huami claims. It may not strike you at first but Amazfit Neo is a rugged smartwatch where you don’t need to care about the scratches on the display when you go outdoors which is very less due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The strap looks decent and seems durable as well. The watch does not feel heavy on the hand even when I switched from Xiaomi’s Mi Band 4.
