The Durga Puja Pandals in Kolkata have been making history for all the right reasons this year. In yet another empowering attempt, the Durga Puja Pandals will be seen making the right use of technology by making its availability felt through 3D techniques with the new MetaPujo feature. Modern-day technology has been put to good use and in the most culturally defined way possible this time around the year.

MetaPujo is the term for The Durga Puja entering the world of Metaverse, through 3D, making the Pandals across Kolkata accessible to people via technology.  All the major Pandals are reportedly making themselves accessible through the 3D twins feature. The Pandals taking this initiative in Kolkata include Tala Prattay, Deshapriya Park, Hiritola Sarbojanin, and Ballygunge Cultural. These Pandal organisers will now make people do a virtual darshan of the Pandals via 3D Platforms, according to reports. The technology experts Metaform and XP&DLAND and Spatial will be helming this initiative for the Pandals.

Metaform and XP&DLand aim to provide people from around the world a chance to visit Durga Puja Pandals and be a part of the auspicious festival through the power of Metaverse. Visitors can also mint the Durga Pratima of the pandals as an NFT which stays as a blessing in their Web 3.0 wallet (Metamask, Coinbase, etc.)

Not only this, people can walk around, take photos, and interact with the environment around them during the Puja celebrations.

So far, these four pandals have decided to offer the space of their puja pandal.

Grab your best VR Headset and take a stroll with us as we revisit our 21 favorite VR movies, ranked from worst to best according to site Metacritic. The results may surprise you.

21. Gamer
In this movie, the virtual reality is the real world. Thanks to advancements in technology, "players" can control actual humans as if they were video game avatars. It's a horrible idea that only gets worse with the release of a first-person shooter.

20. The Thirteenth Floor
As programmers create a VR simulation of Los Angeles in the 1930s, they begin wondering if their own existence in the 1990s is a simulation itself. How deep into a VR world can you go before losing touch with any sort of actual reality?

19. Virtuosity
In this silly film, a serial killer that exists only in virtual reality comes to life in the real world after taking over the body of an android. While that may play in a futuristic thriller, Russell Crowe's over-the-top acting as the nefarious SID 6.7 instead creates a work that feels about as authentic as Demolition Man.

18. The Cell
The Cell uses virtual reality as a psychological tool for comatose patients. When a psychologist uses the tool to enter the mind of a serial killer, everything goes horribly wrong. This movie has good VR visuals, but critics weren't quite as impressed with the story.

16. The Lawnmower Man (same rank)
In The Lawnmower Man, a gardener with a learning disability gets metaphysical powers after being exposed to a virtual world. This new knowledge causes mental instability and a need to become one with the digitized universe.
It's the sort of idea that has been done better by other movies -- right, Tron? -- and yet it somehow spawned a sequel.

16. The Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (same rank)
While Metacritic gives this sequel a 42, the same score as the original, movie-going audiences reacted much more harshly. On a $15 million budget, Lawnmower Man 2 earned $2.4 million at the box office. Thankfully, the story of the Jobe Smith -- played by a completely different actor in the sequel -- ends here.

15. Total Recall (2012)
The reboot of Total Recall isn't necessarily a bad movie. It just doesn't have the visual charm of the 1990 original, instead opting for a glossy finish that makes everything look too nice for the world it's set in. One other knock against it is the VR vacation to Mars is replaced by one on Earth, which isn't nearly as exciting.

14. Hackers
Hackers is the quintessential cheesy '90s movie about computer hacking and its culture. Everything in it is so ludicrously over-the-top, including the scene where the villain gets beat up by a virtual reality boxing game.

13. The Matrix Revolutions
Critics allege that the final chapter in the Matrix trilogy lost its way and failed to give viewers closure. That said, it's hard to not look at The Matrix trilogy as a whole as some of the best sci-fi ever made.

12. Tron Legacy
Tron: Legacy delivers on the promises of the original film with amazing visuals. From the light cycle battles to the Daft Punk score, this is the kind of VR movie the world should appreciate more.

11. Ender's Game
Here, the titular character believes his VR military tactics test is a simulation -- but it's not. Unfortunately, the movie was a simplified take on a very complex book. It flopped at the box office.

9. Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (same rank)
The concept of a digitized villain using a VR game to come back to the real world may seem ridiculous -- and it is. But it also makes for the best movie in the Spy Kids franchise.

9. Total Recall (1990) (same rank)
Total Recall imagines a future where virtual vacations are implanted into your memory, rather than you actually taking them -- which seems utterly horrible. And yet, still, the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie has gone on to become a cult classic--thanks, in large part to how visually interesting it is.

7. Disclosure (same rank)
In Disclosure, VR is a tool used to access a company's data files, which makes absolutely no sense. That said, the scene doesn't distract much from an otherwise compelling thriller.

7. Tron (same rank)
While the original Tron wasn't a big box office success in 1982, its ideas were way ahead of their time. Rather than using traditional headgear as a means into a virtual world, main character Flynn is digitized and uploaded into a computer mainframe.

6. Videodrome
In Videodrome, David Cronenberg uses VR as a means of torture. In a way, it's an even more abstract version of what he would later attempt in Existenz, blurring the line between causing pain in a virtual world and the real one.

5. The Matrix Reloaded
The second chapter of the Matrix trilogy isn't as beloved as the original, but it does expand greatly on the virtual world it's set in.

4. Ready Player One
Steven Spielberg's journey into virtual reality is a celebration of nostalgia at its heart, as people of the future use VR to revisit familiar characters and settings from pop culture. While some may find it to be cloying, our own Michael Rougeau says "if you can get past the nitpicks, there's a really fun movie underneath."

3. Dark City
On the surface, this film presents itself as a neo-noir murder mystery. That quickly unravels, however, when the main character reveals that the world and people around him are changing. Dark City was not a box office success, but luckily critics saw it for the intriguing and unique tale it is.

2. Existenz
You may not remember Existenz, but this small budget horror movie from 1999 is director David Cronenberg at his absolute creepiest. It's filled with so many twists and turns that by the end you won't be sure what's real and what's not -- kind of like most of Cronenberg's work.

1. The Matrix
There is no doubt about it: The Matrix is the gold standard of VR movies, plunging most of the human population into a faux world that lives inside a computer. While its sequels may not have always lived up to their hype, the original is forever a classic.

The in-sport purchases are restrained to Rs 7,000 consistent with day, which have to come as a way to immoderate spending on in-sport items. moreover, minors are handiest allowed to play the game for 3 hours a day.

On January 25, on the occasion of National Voters’ Day, the Election Commission of India (ECI) rolled out the facility of digital voter ID cards. Called the Electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card (e-EPIC), this digital voter ID card will be available in PDF format. The e-EPIC is just like e-Aadhaar in that it can only be printed and is not editable.

e-EPIC is a portable document format(PDF) version of the EPIC which can be downloaded on mobile or in a self-printable form on the computer. A voter can thus store the card on his/her mobile, upload it on Digi locker or print it and self-laminate it. This is in addition to PCV EPIC being issued for fresh registration.

It is important to note that till January 31, this facility will be available only to those who have applied for voter ID cards last year, in November and December. From February 1, the digital voter ID card will be available to all.

Who are eligible for e-EPIC

• 25th to 31st Jan 2021 : Only new electors registered during Special Summary Revision 2021 and having unique mobile number in Eroll.
• 1st Feb 2021 onwards : All General electors

How e-EPIC Benefits Citizen

• Alternate and faster mode of obtaining Electoral Photo Identity Card in a digital format.
• Equally valid as a proof of document for voter identification.
• Can be printed at the convenience of the voter and can bring it as proof during polling.
• Self service model

Steps to download digital voter ID cards:
1. Go to voterportal.eci.gov.in. Create an account by entering the relevant details.
2. Upon creation of the account, log in and go to the menu which says “Download e-EPIC.”
3. Enter your EPIC number or form reference number. A one-time password (OTP) will be sent to your registered mobile number.
4. Now, click on “Download EPIC.” However, you will have to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process to download the card if the mobile number mentioned on the card is different.
5. After updating the number through KYC, you can download the digital voter ID card.
6. If you’ve lost your e-EPIC number, you can check for it on voterportal.eci.gov.in.
7. The digital voter ID card can also be generated from the voter mobile app, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is secured by cryptography, which makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized networks based on blockchain technology—a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers. A defining feature of cryptocurrencies is that they are generally not issued by any central authority, rendering them theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency worldwide.

What is Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto and started in 2009 when its implementation was released as open-source software.

Why so Hype

There’s a handful of reasons. Let’s take a look.

• Bitcoin broke a key resistance level making investors believe there is further upside.
• Rising inflation and the potential for even more stimulus continues to push people to safe-haven assets.
• Increased adoption from payment applications like PayPal will give far more people easy access to cryptocurrency.
• Publicly traded companies purchasing Bitcoin shows a high level of confidence in its appreciation.
• Bitcoin's historical trend of closely following its halving stock-to-flow model shows an ambitious and extremely bullish outlook.

Some more reasons of this hype are:

Inflation and the Rush Toward Safe-Haven Assets

Another reason for Bitcoin's rise is the growing inflation of the U.S. dollar. While inflation is on average 2% each year, recent stimulus spending is poised to greatly increase the level of inflation and decrease the dollar's purchasing power.

Adoption as a Means of Payment

Another reason for Bitcoin's price appreciation is its growing adoption as a payment method. Recently, PayPal (PYPL) announced that it would soon allow its users and merchants to buy, sell, hold, and accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

Halving and the Stock-To-Flow Model

Perhaps the most important reasons for the rise in Bitcoin's price are two attributes that are inherent in its design.
The first: there is only 21 million Bitcoin that will ever exist. There will be no more and no less and this number will always stay static. This makes bitcoin more scarce than anything that has come before it. Other scarce assets are not 100% finite and in some cases, they can be synthetically manufactured.
The second is a process coded into Bitcoin called the halving. Essentially, Bitcoin has its own built-in escrow mechanism where Bitcoin is released and given to miners as a reward for processing transactions. This reward is cut in half every four years.

Where to Begin

There are so many options these days to start your journey with Bitcoin, you can be a Trader or Investor.
Some popular and trustworthy platforms are:

• Binance (Wallet + Exchange)
• WazirX (Wallet + Exchange)
• ZebPay (Wallet + Exchange)
• Bitbns (Wallet + Exchange)
• CoinDCX (Wallet + Exchange)
• Bitdroplet (Systematic Investmenet Plan / SIP)

How to Make Money with Bitcoin

Mining

the first ways to ever obtain BTC. This is the process in which miners use powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems. Mining can be done using on these platforms.

SIP in Bitcoin

Systematic Investment Plan allows you to systematically invest in Bitcoin, which is the highest returning asset the world has ever witnessed. Bitcoin’s dollar cost averaging has proved that compared to a bulk investment in Bitcoin, dividing the investment into small, regular instalments returns much more due to reduced impact of volatility leading to declining average buy price with time. Start your SIP journey.

Let us have a quick analysis of the returns BTC has delivered over 2, 4, and 6 years, when invested in regular intervals. Considering the time of analysis as today, 12 November 2019, let us see what the valuation of regular instalment-based investments in Bitcoin of different time periods would look like today.

2 years
Let’s say you have been investing Rs. 400 
every week in Bitcoin till date for last 2 years 
(12 November 2017 to 12 November 2019). 
Then:
Each Instalment = Rs. 400
Frequency of Instalments = Weekly
Total Number of Instalments = 96
Total Investment = Rs. 38,400
Current Valuation = Rs. 71,220
Profit = 85.50%

4 years
Let’s say you have been investing Rs. 400 
every week in Bitcoin till date for last 4 years 
(12 November 2015 to 12 November 2019). 
Then:
Each Instalment = Rs. 400
Frequency of Instalments = Weekly
Total Number of Instalments (approx.) = 192
Total Investment = Rs. 76,800
Current Valuation = Rs. 7,97,982
Profit = 939%

6 years
Let’s say you have been investing Rs. 400 
every week in Bitcoin till date for last 6 years 
(12 November 2013 to 12 November 2019). 
Then:
Each Instalment = Rs. 400
Frequency of Instalments = Weekly
Total Number of Instalments = 288
Total Investment = Rs. 1,15,200
Current Valuation = Rs. 23,74,079
Profit = 1961%

(The number and figures recorded and mentioned here have been calculated using the real price trends in Bitcoin, and they actually represent the real valuation of an investment in Bitcoin. Pretty apparently, a consistent weekly investment in Bitcoin for last 6 years returns a surreal 1961% profit, which looks believable only in the chapters of history books, not investments.)

Buying and holding Bitcoin

is one of the most straightforward and most beginner-friendly trading strategies out there. First, get a Bitcoin wallet, buy BTC, and then hope that the price spikes in the future—no matter how long that may take. It could be weeks, months, or even years before you decide to sell.

Trading Bitcoin

is its fast-paced equivalent. Essentially, BTC trading means taking advantage of Bitcoin’s highly volatile nature. This method requires practice and knowledge of the market, so be sure to do your homework before you even think about giving it a shot. It can be Day trading, Swing trading and Arbitrage.

Accepting Bitcoin

as payment and receive it to your wallet.

Prediction and Expectation

The below prediction chart outlines some of the minimum and maximum BTC price forecasts offered by technical analysts and industry experts in an easy to digest format.

Year		High			Low
2020		$17,000			$3,800
2021		$25,000			$5,000
2022		$75,000			$9,000
2023-2025+	$410,000		$31,000

Is it Legal in India

In the present day, one can LEGALLY invest in or buy cryptocurrencies in India. Crypto-exchanges are allowed to have transactions through scheduled banks.

Investing in cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings ("ICOs") can be highly risky and speculative, and this article is not a recommendation by us. Informations has been collected from Investopedia, Wikipedia, Paxful, PrimeXBT and Bitdroplet.

Did you know that once you grant access to your phone's camera or microphone to any third-party App, they can use it silently in the background?

Installed apps on your phone may misuse the granted permissions to secretly snoop on you. Smartphone manufacturers, as well as Google, have grown wary of the issue and every time an app uses the camera, microphone, or the location in the background on Android 9 Pie and upwards, you get a notification. Xiaomi has also added visual cues in MIUI 12 and so has Apple with iOS 14 to alert users every time an app accesses some features in the background. For phones by other manufacturers or running older versions of Android, Access Dots offers a similar solution by showing colored indicators every time an app uses the camera or the mic.

The app is created by XDA Recognized Developer jagan2, who has also created apps like Energy Ring, Energy Bar, and Energy Notch in the past.

Presenting Access Dots for Android, supporting all the way down to Android 7.0!

Configuring the App is as simple as enabling the Access Dots Accessibility Service (Toggle switch in the App > (More) Downloaded Services/Installed Services > Access Dots > Enable). By default the App is configured to show iOS 14 style colored access dots - green for camera access, orange for microphone access. The App itself does not request for camera or microphone access.

Access Dots, adds the same iOS 14 style indicators (few pixels light up as a dot) to the top right (default) corner of your screen whenever any third-party App uses your phone's camera or microphone. Access Dots will be visible even on your lockscreen!

Access Dots is expected to work on all Android devices with Android 7.0 Nougat and upwards. Download Access Dots - iOS 14 cam/mic access indicators! from the Playstore.

Apple announces four new iPhones lately, starting from iPhone 12 Mini to iPhone 12 to two Pro models including iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.



The iPhone 12 series includes the iPhone 12, a smaller iPhone 12 Mini and larger iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The new phones will be available for consumers in India starting October 30. Apple also announced HomePod Mini at Rs 9,900.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini will be available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB models in blue, green, black, white, and PRODUCT(RED), starting at Rs 79,900 and Rs 69,900, respectively. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB models in graphite, silver, gold, and pacific blue starting at Rs 119,900 and Rs 129,900, respectively.

iPhone 12

New iPhone 12 series has a thinner design that also makes it lighter and smaller. This is despite the 5G antenna. The new phones are powered by Apple’s new A14 Bionic, first seen in the new iPad Air launched last month, and the first to be built on 5nm technology.

NASA is using LiDAR technology for its next Mars landing. iPhone 12 Pro uses a LiDAR Scanner to measure how long it takes light to reflect back from objects. So it can create a depth map of whatever space you’re in. Because it’s ultra-fast and accurate, AR apps can now transform a room into a realistic rainforest or show you how a new sneaker will fit.

First camera ever to record in Dolby Vision, iPhone 12 Pro jumps from 8- to 10‑bit HDR recording, capturing 700 million colours for much more lifelike video. Then it goes one better, recording in Dolby Vision — the format used by film studios. You can even edit Dolby Vision video and use AirPlay to see every last bit of the difference on the big screen.
