Just four days have passed since Nikolas Cruz shot 17 people in a school in Parkland, Florida, and the state is already celebrating one of the great weapons events of the year. Here the arms trade does not stop. How "The Valentine's Massacre" happened, the shooting that left 17 dead in a Florida high school This is the Florida Gun Show (the weapons show in Florida), which is celebrated this weekend in Miami and that its promoters promote with ambitious advertising claims. "They will enjoy a huge display of firearms, ammunition, chargers, knives and much more," promises visitors to the event website. For weeks, large billboards on the show dot the extensive road network of Miami-Dade County. The fair takes place in a large building in Miami, just an hour's drive from the Stoneman Douglas School, which has just been the site of one of the worst massacres in the recent history of the United States. Who is Nikolas Cruz, the author of the mass shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 dead The taxi driver who brings me says he can not believe what he's seeing. "Are you really going to do a gun show today, after what happened? What madness!" He exclaims. Next to the access door a black and white folio offers a clarification. "We want to recognize the city of Parkland, especially the students and professors of the school who were killed without meaning, and we do not pretend to be disrespectful or sensitive with this event planned for such a long time," the article reads. Florida shooting: Who are the 17 fatalities of the killings at Parkland High School? Children do not pay The letter also recommends that attendees tolerate those who may speak against and adds: "We have demanded and imposed a strong security." But arriving an hour before the official opening, BBC Mundo accesses the site where hundreds of weapons are stored before the start of the exhibition without going through the security control, which will be activated later. At nine o'clock open the ticket offices and the fair begins to boil. Admission costs US $ 13. Children under 12 years old do not pay. Inside, a huge sample of firearms of different type and caliber, telescopic sights, camouflage clothing, knives, machetes, and a long list of combat accessories for the enjoyment of lead lovers. The Second Amendment of the Constitution recognizes the right of Americans to carry arms, for many one of the hallmarks of the country and one of the reasons why they sell so much. Among the numerous clientele that clusters around the more than 600 sales counters there are some blacks and Hispanics, but white males predominate. Some walk around the room accompanied by children. The least there are are women. Matter of debate Bill attends one of the stalls next to his wife and is clear about his point of view in the debate on weapons, reopened by the latest school massacre. Gun control or a mental health problem? United States is divided after the shooting perpetrated by Nikolas Cruz at a high school in Florida "What happened in Parkland is a tragedy, but the solution is not to prohibit weapons, but decent citizens can defend ourselves with it from guys like Nikolas Cruz," he tells BBC Mundo. Bill likes Donald Trump. He proudly displayed a support shirt. "Some people do not like him because he is not a politician or a publicist, but he is getting things," he says. How did the United Kingdom and Australia to reduce mass shootings and what can they learn from them? The issue of weapons is a matter of bitter political debate in the United States. The Democrats promoted measures to restrict the sale, but the Republican Party always frustrated them. And if in the time of Barack Obama they asserted their majority in Congress, now that with Donald Trump they also control the Executive, the resistance is double. That, however, does not prevent many from continuing to campaign in favor of greater controls on arms sales. In fact, while in this part of Florida the arms fair was being held, in another part of the state dozens of victims and relatives demanded stricter laws for their sale. But the anger over the Parkland killings at the moment has only improved sales. The AR-15 Not far from Bill's position is that of Pawn & Gun Shop, the business of Domingo Martin, son of Cubans born in Miami. He explains that the cheapest thing he can offer me is a 22-gauge Jimenez pistol, which would cost me $ 119. But the most demanded lately is the rifle AR-15, manufactured by Colt, the rifle used by Cruz in his bloody run for the secondary school from which he had been expelled. Shooting in Florida: the FBI admits that it did not investigate an alert about the attacker Nikolas Cruz who received a month before the attack "People demand a lot because they fear that after what happened, their sale will be prohibited," he explains. "You can legally buy those over 18, but I demand that they have 21," he tells BBC Mundo. How is the AR-15 rifle, the weapon used in several of the deadliest collective killings in the US? The AR-15 is an old acquaintance of the American public. In its history also it emphasizes that it was the weapon with which Adam Lanza killed in 2012 to 20 children in the school Sandy Hook, in Connecticut, and the one that James Holmes used that same year when it broke into a cinema of Colorado during a projection of Batman leaving a trail of 12 corpses and dozens of wounded. For those attending the fair, however, the problem is not in weapons, but in criminals with psychiatric problems that misuse them. The warning signs left by Nikolas Cruz before killing 17 people at a Florida high school It is the thesis defended by President Donald Trump when he referred to the tragedy of Parkland, and which Chris, a young university student who runs the South Florida fair, endorses. "On the subject of mental health, the government could do more than what it is doing," he tells BBC Mundo. Kill or die Among those who wield and examine weapons for sale is Marco, a Colombian immigrant. He has two rifles and a pistol at home. That is his contribution to the incalculable American domestic arsenal. Marco says that his thing began with his love of sports shooting. But, he adds, "in the United States there are a lot of crazy guns, so if I ever have a son I'll teach him how to shoot so he can defend himself." According to him, "in this country, fleeing is not an option". According to the account of the organization "Gun Violence Archive", more than 1,900 people have already died from gunshot wounds only so far this year in the United States. Why the mass shootings in the United States are becoming more lethal Marco prefers that his son be one of those who kill one of those who die. Assistant to the Florida Gun Show Author's rights of the imageAFP Image caption For many Americans, the right to own weapons is a sacred right. In addition, for many of the participants in this exhibition, weapons are also much more than fire-breathing machines, they are the quintessence of the national spirit. And any restriction would be an unbearable mutilation of that sacred good. This is explained to me by the person in charge of the position of an armory chain called Shoot Straight Florida who prefers not to give his name, while playing with a Smith & Wesson 5.56, one of the competitors of the AR-15. "This is a free country and we do not want to have police watching everywhere, we Americans have to be able to defend ourselves to remain a democracy and not end up like Russia," he tells BBC World. "Schools as bunkers": what are the strict security measures in US schools? to avoid killings like Parkland's and why are they failing Many of the defenders of that right to bear arms are also accustomed to point out that the vast majority of their holders in the USA. They use them responsibly. A matter of freedom It is towards noon when the weapons show lives its rush hour. Sellers and buyers close deals at the frenetic pace that characterizes the accelerated US economy in recent years. Some experts even fear that it overheats, as it happens to machine guns when they are fired more than necessary. That's not something that worries anyone here. In a corner between cartridge belts, knives and Beretta pistols, I find a trio of veterans of the Cuban exile who comment heatedly on current affairs. They have many years and very little faith in the press. They see me as a potential source of "false news". Only the BBC credential seems to mitigate somewhat its suspicion. One of them is Pedro Hernández, who introduces himself as a retired officer of the Miami Police Department. "Now you can not talk about the issue of weapons because emotions are very close to the skin," he says. Then he unfolds his theory about the true reasons for the alarm raised by the last scab at a school. "Communists are everywhere and want to start by ending our freedom to use weapons and then destroy all others," he says. Neither Pedro nor many of the millions of Trump voters in Republican Florida are willing to allow even that first step to be taken. -

The attack took place in 2017 against the inter-bank messaging system Swift The Central Bank of Russia has denounced this Friday that a group of hackers stole 339.6 million rubles (4.7 million euros) in an attack that took place in 2017 against the interbank system of Swift. The information about the attack, which was found at the end of the report by the Central Bank on robberies in Russian banks, is the latest in a long list of cyber-thefts made through the use of false transfer requests. "The volume of operations not validated as a result of this attack represents a loss of 339.5 million rubles," the agency said in a statement. Swift spokeswoman Natasha de Teran has stated that the company does not comment on specific entities. The spokesman of the Central Bank of Russia Artem Sychev, who is also the vice president of the department responsible for regulating security, has stated that the hackers have withdrawn the money through a previously established pattern. Swiftindicó at the end of last year that the digital heists are increasing because the hackers use tools and very sophisticated techniques to carry out the attacks. In December, several hackers tried to steal 55 million rubles (779,000 euros) from the Russian state bank Globex through the Swift system.

If your phone runs slower and slower, this problem can be due to many factors. One of the influencing factors is the available storage space and the type of storage space, since not all memory formats are equally fast. That's why it's good news that UFS 3.0 is just around the corner, because it promises a speed of reading and writing up to twice as fast. The impact on the performance of mobile phones and other types of devices can be very important, since it will make it easier to move files and also the operation of the operating system, sometimes burdened by the slowness and limitations when reading stored data. in the ROM. When it comes to assessing the speed and performance of a mobile, it has nothing to do with the processor or RAM. Obviously being able to run more processes at once and heavier will make a phone work faster, but you can rewrite and read the data also has a lot to do. The UFS 3.0 memory format promises up to 2.4 Gbps of mobile transfer. In addition to providing more speed to the operation of the memory, UFS 3.0 will do it consuming less energy. This is very good to optimize the battery life of mobile phones, cameras and tablets to the maximum using the double channel to write and read memory information simultaneously. This new standard also affects UFSHCI, although it will gradually spread, especially as devices incompatible with the new features of UFS 3.0 are becoming obsolete to be replaced by more modern ones, something that will inevitably happen over time.

Today there are numerous tools to record on video what you do on your PC. For example, Game DVR in Windows 10, or the GeForce Experience application, if you have an NVIDIA graphics card. These programs allow you to record applications and games while you use them. But in some cases, like Game DVR, it is not possible to record the desktop, and in others they only work with certain cards. We are going to show you how you can record the screen of your PC with VLC. This po[CENSORED]r media player has just been updated to version 3.0, and releases many new features such as the longed for Chromecast support, HDR, 360 degree videos, and many more. First, download and install VLC for Windows. Start the player, enter the Medium menu, and select Open capture device: In the new window that appears, look for the Capture Mode box and choose Desktop. Now go to the Options section and in the Frame rate box you want to capture, choose the number of images per second you want to capture. The minimum advisable is 20 fps to reflect a fluid movement, but ideally 30 or 60 fps, although the video will take a lot. If what you are going to do is record many hours (for example, for a surveillance session), then put 5 fps, or less. Then click on the arrow next to the Play button, and choose Convert. In the new window, inside the Profile box, you will see a wrench icon. Press it and you can choose the recording format (MP4, MPG, etc), the codec, the resolution, and other data that affect the quality of the video: Back to the Convert window, select the destination file, by clicking on the Explore button. Choose the folder where you will save the video, and write the name you want to give it. Now all you have to do is press the Start button to start recording the screen of your PC with VLC. Move the mouse, open applications, or whatever you want, on the desktop. You will see that VLC has been minimized in the taskbar. When you finish, go back to VLC and click on the stop recording button. You just have to go to the destination folder of the video, and there will be the recording of your screen. Got it! Video recording your PC screen is very useful for creating courses, tutorials, showing how a program is used to another person, etc.

A "close person" to Cruz warned on January 5 that he could be preparing a shooting in an educational center The FBI has admitted that the proper protocols were not followed after a warning received in early January that already warned of the potential risk of Nikolas Cruz, the young man arrested for murdering 17 people on Wednesday at a high school in Parkland (Florida). On January 5, "a person close to Nikolas Cruz" contacted the federal security agency to express his "concerns" about the young man. Thus, he reported that he was in possession of weapons, maintained an "erratic behavior", had expressed his "desire to kill people" and had posted "worrying" messages on social networks. The message even alluded to that Cruz could carry out a shooting in an educational center, as it finally happened on Wednesday, according to a statement released by the FBI. The protocols state that this notice should have been analyzed "as a potential threat to life" and, therefore, the Public Access Line of the agency should have notified the offices in Miami. However, "at that time no further investigation was conducted" on the case. The director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, has promised that he will arrive "to the bottom" to clarify what happened, what also happens to review the procedures that are followed when a citizen gives the alarm. "It is up to all Americans to be vigilant and, when citizens get in touch with us, we must act appropriately and quickly," he lamented. The head of the organization has "deeply regretted" the "additional damage" that these revelations can cause to all those people affected by the "horrible tragedy" of Parkland. In this sense, it has defended the "tireless commitment" of workers to improve their work and ensure the safety of citizens

Google has been putting unencrypted sites on the ropes for some time. Now, the Mountain View company goes a step further: starting next July, Chrome will tag all HTTP webs unencrypted as unsafe. This is an attempt to favor the transition to HTTPS pages that add to other measures that are already underway, such as penalization in search results. In January 2017, Chrome 56 began to mark HTTP pages where private data such as passwords, bank cards or other sensitive information such as unsafe webs are entered, in order to alert visitors that the site is not encrypted and that, therefore, the information is susceptible to being stolen by an attacker. Version 62 of Google Chrome introduced new security improvements oriented in this same way. In this update, the browser extended the warning in Incognito Mode to all HTTP pages, although in normal mode it was still displayed next to the information icon. What Google has announced is that from next July, the update Chrome 68 will extend the warnings also to the normal browser mode. As you can see in the image a little above, what will happen is that next to the information icon the user will be able to clearly know that he / she is in an unsecured unsecured page. These types of measures favor that the developers encrypt their websites. According to Google data, last year's progress was very good and currently more than 68% of Chrome traffic on Android and Windows is now protected, and more than 78% in the case of Chrome OS and Mac.

Bitcoin may have fallen in half, but the cryptocurrency fever keeps growing. The Bitcoin is just the tip of the iceberg of what is already a market of dozens of cryptocurrencies that arise like mushrooms under the stones. If one falls, it does not matter. Another replaces it. If one can no longer be mined, it is the same, the rest is mined and exchanged for the most booming cryptocurrency, with the sole purpose of speculating. Leaving aside the whole economic fabric, this fever to get rich speculating is seriously damaging the PC gaming market. Damage that has already begun to affect developers and game sales stores, to the extent that many PC gamers, faced with a shortage of graphics cards or inflated prices that triple their original value, are opting not to renew your equipment or, directly, move to the consoles. To mine cryptocurrencies you need processing power, and that's what gaming graphics cards are responsible for. We talked about it a couple of weeks ago, but the situation is getting worse. The rush to acquire graphic cards to mine cryptocurrencies has reached a point where, as PC Gamer has discovered, intermediaries sell graphic cards in packs of 6, at a price that triples their market value. Even so, the packs run out in a matter of minutes: The image pack, consisting of 6 GTX 1060 cards, has been sold at a price of 3,780 dollars, which means that each GTX 1060 card costs 630 dollars. His starting price was 218 dollars. Despite this, the packs run out in minutes. And something similar happens in physical stores. It's easy to enter a store and meet someone who buys 10-in-10 graphic cards ... To mine cryptocurrencies not only graphic cards are needed that are connected in parallel, but also a large consumption of electricity, since it is a hardware that consumes a lot. That is why the mining of cryptocurrencies has a great boom in countries where electricity is cheap, such as China or Russia, and even the United States. It is not a big business in Spain, where electricity is very expensive. But in a global market, the scarcity of graphic cards in countries with high mining demand, makes the price rise in the rest. And things are going to get worse, now that it has been announced that the price of silicon will go up by 20%. The irony of the case is that there are still people who believe that buying 4 or 5 cards and riding a cryptocurrency miner in their house, will get rich. Who more power of process contributes more earns, and in China, where the electricity is almost free, already exist ships dedicated to mine cryptocurrencies, with thousands of graphic cards working in parallel: Does anyone really think they can compete with that at the domestic level? Mining and trading with cryptocurrencies is fashionable, and there are even people who boast about it, despite the fact that the concept behind it is speculative and anti-ecological. Using cryptocurrencies has no merit. It only demands money to buy the equipment or buy bitcoins, and consume electricity as if there were not a morning, regardless of the pollution and exploitation of resources behind that electricity consumption, which has skyrocketed in many countries. The concept behind bitcoin is the work of a genius. His legacy, the blockchain, is a revolution. But the cryptocurrency mining, although it has a romantic and antisystem, is now in the hands of speculators, of the rich who can pay for the mining machines, electricity or the price of Bitcoin, and of the big Chinese companies They take advantage of the advantages of their economy to mine cheaper than anyone else. On a more earthly level, it's time for graphics card makers to step up and defend the interests of their most loyal customers: gamers. So far we have seen shy announcements from companies like NVIDIA and AMD, which have asked stores to only sell two graphics cards per person or, directly, not sell to those who recognize that they will use them with cryptocurrencies. A completely useless measure, because the stores can sell to whoever they want, and they do not care what the buyers use the cards for, what they want is to sell. The more the better. Manufacturers and stores profit from the mining of cryptocurrencies, if only because of the number of cards they sell. But the ones who earn the most are the intermediaries. They buy them from the manufacturer at a standard price and then sell them in packs of six, tripling the price. The big losers, the gamers, who can not buy cards to play because there is no stock or cost three times their value, ask the manufacturers to include measures to block the mining, something that will not happen, for commercial and legal reasons . Perhaps the solution is in putting on sale cards of AMD and NVIDIA specialized in the mining of cryptocurrencies, as some brands have already done. Manufacturers make money, miners shift their preferences, and gaming cards are reused for what they were created: to play. Many are anxiously waiting for the cryptocurrency bubble to burst (there are already symptoms) and then the market will be flooded with second-hand graphic cards. Bad business: mining requires the card to work at full capacity, 24 hours a day. The second-hand market will be filled with overexploited and overheated cards, with a very short life cycle. The rise in the price of silicon, memory chips, Meltdown and Specter fiasco, prices of graphic cards ... These are bad times to be a PC gamer. Will things improve in 2018?

Rabobank on Tuesday pleaded guilty to the crimes of "conspiracy to defraud the United States" and "corrupt obstruction of an inspection of a financial institution." The US subsidiary of Dutch bank Rabobank will pay a fine of 368.7 million dollars after pleading guilty to obstructing regulators in a case of money laundering of Mexican drug trafficking. Rabobank on Tuesday declared guilty of the crimes of "conspiracy to defraud the United States" and "corrupt obstruction of an inspection of a financial institution," the US Department of Justice has reported. UU it's a statement. The Dutch bank admitted that its "deficient program" against money laundering "allowed hundreds of millions of dollars in untraceable cash to be deposited, originating in Mexico and other places" in rural branches of Rabobank in the Californian county of Imperial , border with Mexico. These deposits were then transferred through "bank transfers, checks or cash transactions, without due notification required by law to the regulatory authorities." Hide and minimize deficiencies In addition, during an inspection of regulatory authorities in 2012, "Rabobank executives actively sought to hide and minimize deficiencies in their anti-money laundering program in an effort to deceive regulators" and thus avoid fines such as those previously imposed in 2006 and 2008 for the same reasons. "When Rabobank learned that a considerable number of its clients' transactions indicated drug trafficking, organized crime and money laundering, it chose to look the other way and cover the deficiencies in its program," said Deputy Attorney General of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, John P. Cronan.

Surely it will also happen to you: while you were looking for the one that ended up being your next TV, all the manufacturers assured you that with your TV model you would obtain the best image quality, the brightest colors and the sharpest details you could have seen never on a television. What many people do not know is that there is a way to squeeze a hundred percent the possibilities of that Samsung, LG or Sony TV that you have bought. If when you install your brand new Smart TV in your home the result is not as spectacular or the colors as vibrant as promised, do not think that you have been cheated, it is simply that the panel of your TV needs to be calibrated to get the best performance. Here we will show you how to calibrate your television to have the best image. The basic calibration process for your TV is simple and consists of adjusting the values of brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation of the screen to get it to show colors as accurate as possible to what the creators of the contents that will be shown in the screen have set. The only thing you will need is a downloadable file (we will link it to you next) that you will have to copy to an external memory to transfer it to the TV. That way, when a film shows a seascape, you will see with the same tone and intensity indicated by the creator of the content. Neither more greenish, nor more bluish. Consider this article as the guide to put your TV to point (it does not matter if you bought it a week or a year ago) and thus guarantee that the image quality it offers expresses one hundred percent of its potential. One moment, why is not a device as expensive as a TV set calibrated from the factory? Actually, the television is calibrated at the factory, what happens is that these parameters may not fit exactly your taste and may show an image too muted or too saturated colors. It has not happened to you that, when installing the TV in house, you have realized that the colors are not as showy as in the store? The lighting of the room in which the television is installed, the different sources of the images, the angle at which it is seen and even the perception of colors by the user varies, so it is necessary to adjust the parameters again to the new visualization environment. Do you know that you can watch Netflix on your old TV with an Android TV Box? It is more than likely that your TV already brings different pre-set color settings (cinema, dynamic, multimedia, natural, sports, etc.) to the factory. These settings have been configured to try to show the best image quality when viewing the different contents. 1. First you need to download a calibration pattern, the key to calibrate your TV The calibration patterns for the TV are a set of visual patterns of colors and lines that combine to obtain the correct adjustment of the different parameters of your TV. Thanks to these calibration patterns you will get your TV show the full range of colors accurately and with the right intensity, avoiding creating color aberrations or making you lose part of the content because the colors are too dark or too light. There are many forms and patterns of calibration, from static images, to videos in which the different patterns of adjustment are reproduced. You can even play them from YouTube! This variety responds to each input connection of your TV manages the color differently, so it may be necessary to reproduce the calibration pattern from your Bluray player, from the console or from a USB to fine-tune the calibration of your television In our case we have opted for the AVS HD709 calibration patterns pack that you can download for free from its official forum. After choosing the right format for your player or for the format you are going to use, you just have to show the different patterns on the screen and adjust the indicated parameters to improve the image quality of your TV. 2. Start calibrating your TV: turn it off One of the first things that you must do before starting the calibration of your TV screen is to return to the factory settings and disable all those functions and improvements that alter the reproduction of the image or that scale its resolution since otherwise They would be altering the actual panel setting. You can always reconnect it when you finish so that they act on a correct basis of adjustments. Therefore, it disables the scaling filters and postprocessing systems of the TV (you will find them in the setting menus with names such as Overscan, Motionflow, Trumotion, etc.). In addition, you will need to have the average lighting you usually have when you watch TV, so if your TV allows you to store different adjustment profiles, maybe you should set one for the day and another for the night. During the adjustment, you must also maintain the distance and position that you usually have. That is, if you tend to see it from a certain angle and sitting 3 meters away, put yourself in that place and not stuck to the screen while you calibrate it. The top 5 TVs of 2017 high-end Once all the extras have been deactivated, you can choose any of the modes to start from a certain base, although if you prefer you can do it from scratch. We do not recommend sports or dynamic modes because they alter the result too much. Better choose the cinema mode, normal or natural and adjust them to your liking. 3. Adjust the scaling of your screen Currently different resolutions for the content coexist. For example, television is broadcast in HD, video on demand platforms do so in Full HD, and certain content may be available in Ultra HD (4K). For this reason, the current televisions have scaling systems that readjust the size of the image to adapt it to the screen. One of the first adjustments you will make to calibrate your screen will be to use one of the calibration standards of AVS HD709 that we have indicated before to verify that your TV is not cutting the content that is shown on the screen. In particular, you should use the so-called Sharpness & Overscan that you will find in the Basic Settings folder of this pattern pack. This calibration pattern shows blue frames around the image that indicate the degree of clipping that is being applied to the image. Adjust the screen with the scaling control until it fits in the Overscan 0 mark and the white line appears around it. With this setting we make sure that the screen does not crop the images and shows all the content in full size. 4. Adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen The next adjustment you will make will be the one of brightness and contrast. To calibrate the brightness of the screen, use the Black Clipping calibration pattern. This setting allows us to determine the depth of the darker colors so that the blacks have more depth without sacrificing the intermediate gray tones. A brightness setting that is too high causes the colors to appear very washed since blacks will not go dark gray, while a brightness that is too low causes many nuances in the colors to be lost due to the loss of richness in the gradient. Displaying the calibration pattern Black Clipping adjusts the brightness values until you see a minimal difference between bars 16 and 17 that blink in this pattern. Once you have set the brightness values of your TV to show the purest blacks and the different gray scales, it is time to do the same with the lighter tones, setting the white level. If we set the contrast level too high, the lighter areas of the image will be saturated, losing all the detail. On the other hand, if you leave it too low, the brightness of the colors and its intensity will be lost, resulting in an unnatural and muted image. To calibrate the contrast of your TV, play the White Clipping pattern and modify the contrast values in the TV settings menu until you notice a slight difference between bars 234 and 235. Check if the brightness and contrast adjustment of your TV is correct by opening the APL Clipping calibration pattern, in which both settings are displayed simultaneously. If you can see all the black and white tones up to the reference point (bar 235 for white and 16 for black), it means that the calibration was successful. 5. Get sharper images on your TV The sharpness controls the detail of the content we see on the screen. The new Full HD and UHD panels allow levels of definition never seen, so this adjustment gains greater relevance as it will give more definition to the images. Setting a level of sharpness too low makes images and texts appear blurry and ill-defined, while adjusting it to the maximum causes aberrations to appear at the edges of the image, such as the Moiré effect that creates unwanted visual effects. To calibrate the sharpness of your television, use the Sharpness & Overscan calibration pattern again. In its central part different black and white patterns are shown. Adjust the sharpness value of your TV until all the patterns of horizontal, vertical lines and texts appear clearly and without creating additional optical effects. 6. Get more natural colors Another key factor in calibrating your TV will be the color adjustment. This setting controls the intensity and saturation with which the screen displays the colors. A screen with too saturated colors will lose part of the spectrum of colors, subtracting details and nuances to the images. In the folder Misc Patterns of the calibration patterns of AVS HD709 you will find two patterns that you will find especially useful to calibrate this parameter. On the one hand, it reproduces the Color Clipping pattern that you will find in the A-Additional folder. As you did with the contrast and brightness patterns, this calibration pattern shows you the correct adjustment of the different color tones. Modify the color values until you can appreciate the subtle difference between the bar 233 and the pure color of reference that is represented in the bar 235. If you do not appreciate differences between the different bars it means that the color in which it is not appreciated is too saturated . If you prefer you can also use the Color Steps pattern to make sure that you can see all the lighting steps in each color and adjust the color tint so that it does not tend towards green, red or blue. If in any of the colors you stop seeing differences in the first or last steps, it means that the saturation adjustment must be adjusted again to a different value. 7. Confirm the calibration of your TV To ensure that the calibration of your TV is appropriate, you just have to play content on it and see for yourself if the quality is right and all the details of dark scenes are appreciated. Another trick to check the correct calibration of the colors of your TV is to overcome "the Simpsons test". The po[CENSORED]r animated series starring Homer Simpson and his family consists of flat colors perfectly defined by a black outline. If the color saturation is not correct, the saturated color will invade the contour area, signaling that this setting is too high. On the other hand, this same outline will serve to establish if you have gone over the line with the adjustment of the sharpness since it will be too jagged or with a white halo. Who was going to tell you that The Simpsons were going to help you calibrate your TV! The best TV and sound bars and speakers of 2017 After checking that the basic calibration of your TV is correct, and having saved all the settings, it is time to activate (if you want) one by one the different filters and postprocesses that you have disabled at the beginning. It is advisable to do it one by one and check the effect it has on the quality of the image you have set up since, in some cases, the abuse of these filters can ruin the viewing quality instead of improving it. Why calibrate a television? To have the best image quality Regarding the calibration of the TV screen, each user has a different perception of colors, so there is no magic formula in which to establish what value should be set in this or that adjustment because, as we say, It depends on the combination of the type of screen technology used by the television, the lighting in the room and the perception of the viewer. Calibrating a television also depends on the use that is going to be given to it. As a general rule, for a TV set for home use, it will be sufficient to show certain adjustment patterns on the screen and modify the parameters until the levels of color, brightness and contrast are correctly seen. Something that should not take more than 5 minutes. On the other hand, if the television is going to have a professional use, the colors shown must be precise and the screen must be calibrated by a professional using colorimeters and specific programs that adjust with greater precision.

One of the most typical actions in any photomontage is to integrate the photo of a person, animal or object into a new background scene.

The opposition has not yet decided whether to go to this election, but has participated in a process of political negotiation with the Government of Nicolás Maduro to seek "improvements" in voting conditions The presidential elections in Venezuela will be held on April 22, announced today the president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Tibisay Lucena. With that date, he affirmed, the decree of the ruling National Constituent Assembly (ANC), which ordered the elections before May, is fulfilled. The Venezuelan opposition has not yet decided if it will go to this electoral contest, but had participated until today in a process of political negotiation with the Government of Nicolás Maduro to look for "improvements" in the conditions of the votes. "The presidential elections are scheduled for April 22, 2018," Lucena said after recalling that the CNE was in "permanent session" since Monday "analyzing the dates and working in different scenarios." He noted that the electoral registry will be open until February 20 but that before there will be a special day for voters who hope to register or make changes of residence to finally publish on March 5 the total number of calls to the polls. The chancellor informed that the applications will be presented first on the internet from February 24 to 26, and this last day will open a period of 48 hours to meet the requirements that will give them definitive support. He also indicated that the electoral campaign will last 16 days, starting on April 2, to end, as usual in the country, three days before the elections. "We have 15 audits and all the guarantees for a transparent and reliable election so that Venezuelans exercise their sovereignty and express their will," added Lucena.

During the weekend, the American newspaper The New York Times published a fascinating scoop. With the headline "Secret Alliance: Israel carries out air strikes in Egypt, with the approval of Cairo," international correspondent David D. Kirkpatrick (former head of the Egyptian newspaper office) gives details of a remarkable and highly military relationship secret between both countries. "For more than two years," he wrote, "Israeli drones, helicopters and planes have conducted a covert aerial campaign and have conducted more than 100 air strikes in Egypt, often more than once a week, all with the approval of the president. Abdel Fattah the Sisi. " Who kills and why in the Sinai Peninsula, the scenario of the invisible "war" of Egypt Although Egypt has a peace agreement with Israel since 1979, the relationship between them was considered a "cold peace." There is rarely any collaboration between the two countries, let alone authorized air attacks. The essence of The New York Times story is that the Egyptian army, which had long been fighting to deal with the Islamic insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula, had turned to Israel for help. The relationship has had benefits for both parties. "For Cairo," says the journalist, "the Israeli intervention has helped the Egyptian army regain its balance in its battle of almost five years against the jihadist militants." "For Israel, the attacks have reinforced the security of its borders and the stability of its neighbor," he adds. The Six-Day War: the blitzkrieg that occurred half a century ago that forever changed the Middle East When the New York Times published the text, based entirely on Israeli or Western sources, it caused consternation among Egyptian media commentators, who branded the piece as "unprofessional journalism" and "false news." The Egyptian military spokesman insisted that only Egyptian security forces were facing the Islamists. Such military cooperation, if true, would be a very sensitive issue for the Egyptian authorities. But in the midst of a series of reports of air strikes - of drones and manned aircraft - for several months, I've certainly wondered at times who might be carrying them out. The story fits the pattern of a broader change in the region, whose general lines are true, but its extent and probable consequences are far from clear. An alliance against Iran? The rise of Iran and its growing role as an influential regional power, which stretches from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean, is alarming for countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan. Circumstances have pushed some of the moderate Sunni Arab states to move closer and closer to Israel. 8 questions to understand why Israelis and Palestinians fight They share concerns about Iran's regional role and nuclear ambitions, and about the perception of Washington's unwillingness in recent years to confront Tehran. Diplomatic signals and informational meetings lead to the belief that there are genuine foundations in this approach. There have also been subtle signals and some not so subtle ones. Recently, Dr. Mohammed al Issa, secretary general of the Islamic World League, based in Saudi Arabia, wrote a fascinating "open" letter to the director of the Holocaust Museum in Washington. In the message he expressed his sympathy for the victims of the Holocaust during World War II and condemned those who say that this genocide never happened. The gesture, coming from a very important religious leader in a region that, to be frank, has been at the forefront of Holocaust denial for decades, was a remarkable statement. Israel and the Sunnis From the Arab side, one has to put pieces together like this to get an idea of the changes that are happening below the surface. The Israelis are much more direct. In both private and public briefings, they are anxious to improve their ties with moderate Sunni states. What are the alternatives to the "two-state solution" for the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians? This was what the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, expressed in a presentation at the London Chatham House, in November 2017. Speaking of the region, he said that "the bad news is that, in the battle between medievalists and modernists, medievalists are advancing, specifically with Iran." "And there is something I would not have expected in my life, but we are working very hard to achieve it: an effective alliance between Israel and the moderate Sunni states to counteract the aggression of Iran, to make it go back as far as possible," he added. Netanyahu struggled to highlight this point by noting that "as one moves towards the Persian Gulf, or as they call it, the Arabian Gulf, it realizes that attitudes towards Israel are easing considerably." "They are still very hardened, you know, among the Palestinians, in our immediate vicinity, but they are softening a bit," he said. Paradox Netanyahu's mention of the Palestinians is an element that should lead to this debate. It is true that even when the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his intention to move the embassy of his country in Israel to Jerusalem, there was only a tenuous reaction among the Sunni Arab leaders. 3 possible consequences of Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel But attitudes in Arab society in general, between intellectuals and citizens, do not tend to reflect this "softening of the elite" towards Israel. There is a paradox here, as many analysts believe that the Israelis are facing an opportunity to try to push the peace process with the Palestinians and take advantage of the new cooperative attitude of the so-called "moderate Arabs". Since the Sunni Arabs, while still criticizing some of Netanyahu's policies, seek a consensus on the security threats they share with Israel. And there are those in Israel who are desperate to see what they consider a missed opportunity to at least try to prove what could be possible. The Netanyahu government seems to be showing signs that it can have it all, that is, improve its relationship with moderate Arabs without the need to make progress on the Palestinian front

A new secure mode for Windows 10 Home could be on the way and be released with the important update of Redstone 4 at the beginning of this spring, and everything to favor the use of the operating system to less experienced users. Last year Microsoft surprised with the release of Windows 10S, a reduced version of Windows 10 thought to improve security and performance, and encouraging the use of UWP applications from the official Microsoft store. Now Windows 10 S could arrive in the form of a new mode for Windows 10 Home and that would be available from the Redstone 4 update, and that the user could activate if he considered it appropriate. This way you could "convert" the version of Windows 10 Home to Windows 10S temporarily only at the click of a single click. It is known this possible Mode S for Windows 10 Home after appearing certain indications in the new Bug Bash of those of Redmond allowing this way that it is the own user from Windows 10 Home the one that can block the use of Win32 in the operating system, but without eliminating them, being able to return to the previous state at any time. If the user activates the S mode in Windows 10 what he would do is that the operating system could only use apps from the Microsoft Store, avoiding security problems with applications external to the official store. We will have to see if finally the S Mode for Windows 10 Home is just implemented with the output of the Redstone 4 update this spring.
