With the gigantic second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic finally making its presence felt in almost every nation across the world, there is an even bigger need for detecting the virus at the earliest in order to break its chain of spread. According to estimates carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), as of Tuesday (April 13), there were around 136,291,755 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 2,941,128 deaths. While the global vaccination drive is on across the world to help tackle the virus with around 732,981,684 vaccine doses already administered, there is surely a need for better detection methods to curb the spread from the get-go. © John Hopkins Medicine One such means has reportedly been established in Germany, with a Munich-based company called Semic RF, designing a unique eye scan test, which has the ability to identify the carriers of the disease within just three minutes. This is a major technological advancement to battle the Coronavirus, which has mutated and developed into multiple strains since it was first detected in Wuhan back at the end of 2019. According to a Reuters report, the Corona eye scan test has an accuracy rate of around 95 percent. "Semic RF has developed its scanning app with colleagues in the United States and, pending regulatory approval, hopes to start rolling it out there by the end of next month," says its managing director, Wolfgang Gruber. The process of testing involves taking the photo of the person's eye with the help of a smartphone, with the eye scan then identifying the virus by means of a symptomatic inflammation called “pink eye.” “We managed to isolate COVID-19 from over two million different shades of pink,” Gruber told Reuters. According to Gruber, the app has already tested more than 70,000 individuals and boasts the ability to process up to a million scans per second. He said the eye scan could be utilized to restore a level of normalcy amongst human civilization, as it could potentially be used to allow crowds of people to attend mass-attendance events like live music concerts and sports events like football matches. “You take your app, take a picture of both eyes, send it for evaluation, and then you can have the evaluated result stored as a QR code on the tested person’s smartphone,” said Gruber. Let's hope for everyone's sake that the new virus detection technology is available to every nation, as we really could do with some normalcy back among us. View the full article

Lenovo announced a new gaming smartphone called the Phone Duel 2 that comes with two USB-C ports, built-in fans and a pop-up camera module. The smartphone places most of its crucial hardware in the middle of the phone so that it is easier for the fans to keep the smartphone cool. However, it also happens to be the most vulnerable part of the smartphone since it is thicker from the middle. © Youtube/JerryRigEverything YouTuber JerryRigEverything got a hold of the smartphone and put it through some rigorous durability tests. The YouTuber regularly tests smartphones on his channel and most devices usually pass with acceptable results. However, the Lenovo Phone Duel 2 didn’t fare well as it easily snapped at the antenna line which meets at the middle section. The phone basically fell apart like a sandwich which puts the durability of the smartphone into question. The smartphone broke with little force. In fact, even the other side of the phone broke and this shows how the smartphone lacks structural integrity. This might be problematic for rage quitters who can accidentally break the smartphone by applying very little force. The ASUS ROG Phone 5 also fell apart during a similar test, however it required a lot more force. The Lenovo Phone Duel 2 might have snapped easily due to its dual-battery design but there could be other reasons as well. The antenna lines on the sides and the centre of the phone could be weak spots as well which may have caused the smartphone to snap in two. It is worth pointing out that the front glass display was intact after the test, however the smartphone was rendered useless as it no longer turned on. © Youtube/JerryRigEverything The Lenovo Phone Duel 2 might be a great gaming smartphone but this test shows that the company may have not used premium sturdy materials for the body of the smartphone. From the way it looks, there’s a good chance that the smartphone might snap into two with little force. If you want to see the whole test video, you can have a look below: View the full article

Bobby Deol is surely among the favourites when it comes to memes on the Internet. Recently, a social media user posted a video of Bobby Deol taking all the necessary COVID-19 precautions even before the pandemic came into this world. Yes, you read that right. The video has Bobby Deol maintaining social distancing, quarantining himself and also conducting an RT-PCR test on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The video opens with Bobby Deol saying that he can see things clearly even though other people aren’t bothered about it. A clip from Dillagi follows, where he asks brother Sunny Deol to maintain social distancing as he doesn’t want his brother’s disease to spread and affect him. It then shows him putting a Q-tip up Aishwarya Rai’s nose, reminding us of an RT-PCR test. It’s followed by other clips from his movie that have him putting on face masks and even locking himself in the room as we all did in the quarantine period last year. It makes us feel that we should watch his movies again to get clues for our future. Here’s the video: View this post on Instagram After the video went viral, people started referring to his character from the popular web series Aashram and were reminded of his dialogue, ‘Baba Jaane Sabke Mann Ki Baat.’ They even addressed him as ‘Lord Bobby’. © Ghanta Instagram © Ghanta Instagram He was recently awarded Best Actor for Ashram at a ceremony when he spoke to Hindustan Times in an interview. “My father (yesteryear actor Dharmendra), who has been a legend, didn’t get a single best actor award all his life. I have grown up seeing that, I didn’t think he needs it. He got the love of people, it was his award if that’s what makes you what you are. I think awards become special as fans get happy. It is like gifting them something when you receive one, for their love and appreciation,” said the 52-year-old. He will next be seen in Animal with Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. The film is an action drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh fame. View the full article

Cheteshwar Pujara’s natural gameplay, his ability to patiently defend one ball after another, not scoring a single run for overs, and sticking to one side of the pitch to ensure wicket-safety to his batting partner makes him one of the best batsmen for the Men in Blue as far as red-ball cricket is concerned. Ironically, it also makes him one of the last people Team India would look towards in the shorter formats of the game when the batsmen are required to score at a higher rate given the limited numbers of balls they get to face. View this post on Instagram This is the only reason why the Test veteran of 85 matches in the longest format of the game has played in only five One Day Internationals and no T20I matches for the national squad. In the Indian Premier League, Pujara has been a part of just 30 matches, in which he has batted just 22 times between 2010 and 2014. It was therefore a surprising yet overjoyed moment for the fans of the Indian cricket team when the team-owners of Chennai Super Kings nodded for Cheteshwar Pujara’s Rs. 50 lakh bid during the mini-auction ahead of the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League, bringing him back to the marquee tournament after seven long years. Pujara has reached Mumbai ahead of IPL 2021 - CSK boys are getting ready for the summer. pic.twitter.com/kR85bzqR3G — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) March 22, 2021 And while some fans were happy to see the second most successful franchise of the league showing faith in the batting expert, others are worried that in the hopes of becoming a bigger part of the lucrative tournament, Pujara might end up compromising his technique which makes him India’s most dependable weapon in Test cricket. This feeling got amplified when the Rajkot-born made it to Mumbai for practice and prepare himself before the league kick-starts from 9th April 2021. He is wasting his time.

Official says adjustment could be made ?easily? as India, New Zealand are already in the ICC World Test Championship final -
Ben Stokes' heroics in the 4th India-England Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad were applauded by cricket fans across the globe. The all-rounder, often touted as the best in the world, left nothing in the tank as he bowled his heart out in trying conditions. Despite the best efforts of Stokes and Jimmy Anderson, the visitors couldn't prevent another crushing defeat at the hands of Virat Kohli's men, who romped home to a 3-1 series win and sealed their spot in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand. © Twitter/Fox Sports One of the words used by Harsha Bhogle in commentary during Stokes' gladiatorial spell was 'spent.' The veteran cricket commentator alluded to how Stokes was producing a high-class bowling performance despite the visible exhaustion. The 29-year-old has now revealed that was a direct reflection of astonishing weight loss suffered by him and his teammates during the Ahmedabad Test. The searing Gujarat heat made matters worse for some England cricketers who caught a sickness bug in the run-up to the final Test with the series at 2-1 in favour of India. While none of Joe Root's men missed the Test, they certainly found the going tougher than usual. While Stokes lost 5kg during the week, his teammates too endured a massive weight loss. "Players are totally committed to England and I think that was emphasised last week when a few of us went down with illness that made operating in 41-degree heat particularly taxing. I lost 5kg in a week, Dom Sibley 4kg and Jimmy Anderson 3kg, among others. Jack Leach was ducking off the field in between bowling spells and spending more time than is ideal in the toilet," Stokes told Mirror Sport in an exclusive interview. Despite the astonishing weight loss, Stokes stood out as the best England player during the 4th Test, making significant contributions in all three departments. More impressively, Stokes accounted for 27.4 overs in England's bowling, twice more than what he'd bowled in the previous three Tests. Apart from picking up four wickets, Stokes also scored a brilliant fifty. © Twitter/Fox Star On Day 1, Stokes and Kohli were involved in a war of words after the former had reportedly abused India pacer Mohammed Siraj following a bouncer. When asked about the incident, Stokes played it down saying, "The thing in cricket nowadays is that it becomes a massive talking point when two opponents have a word with each other. People seem, I do not know, not to lose their heads but they think it is all wrong." View the full article

The coronavirus pandemic has left the Indian cricket team with a unique predicament of having too much cricket on their platter and this may lead to some rather drastic measures with the hopes of participating in every tournament. Following the dominating 3-1 win in the Test series against the touring England side, the Men in Blue have qualified for the finals of the World Test Championship against Kane Williamson-led New Zealand cricket team. The series is to be held at London’s Lord’s Cricket Ground in June 2021. View this post on Instagram Coincidentally, Team India has yet another major cricketing event to tend to - the Asia Cup (in a 20-over format) scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka around the same time as above. So, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is trying to negotiate a situation with the Asian Cricket Council in which they can send a second India roster completely dedicated to the Asia Cup while one team remains in England itself. Top Source (in TOI) said "If Asia Cup happens this year, India will have no other option but to send a second string side for the tournament". — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) March 8, 2021 "There's no other choice. We can't risk the preparation for the series in England. And cricketers can't twice undergo quarantine. If the Asia Cup happens, India will have no option but to send a second-string squad," top sources confirmed as per a report in the Times of India. To be honest, the priority for the Men in Blue will be the World Test Championship, which means that some of the biggest names of the squad including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah would be likely to miss out on the Asia Cup, even after the WTC gets over, as they have yet another five-Test series against England on their turf. Now, if the BCCI does get the green-light on assembling a second team, one of the biggest topics of discussion becomes that of the second captain for the shortest format of the game.

India trounce England to secure spot at World Test Championship final

India will now meet New Zealand in World Test Championship at Lord's in June of this year -
After playing in the first innings of the fourth Test between India and England at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, opener Rohit Sharma became the highest scoring batsman of the ongoing series. Finding himself in great form throughout the red-ball series at home, Sharma managed to stick to the crease for the first 50 overs of the Indian innings despite losing one partner after the other on the other side of the pitch. View this post on Instagram Playing a bit slower than his usual aggressive self, Sharma was standing at 49 runs off 143 deliveries and was looking to sneak a single against Ben Stokes when an LBW appeal was made against him on the final delivery of the 50th over. At this point of time, fans of the Indian cricket team and those of the ‘Hitman’, were holding their breath, hoping that umpire Nitin Menon would somehow resist himself from raising his index to show the way out to the Indian batsman. Rohit Sharma was unlucky, two of them were based on umpires call - A classic patient knock from Hitman when things were difficult. — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) March 5, 2021 However, Menon did nod to the appeal and declare Sharma out. The only thing that could help Sharma keep his wish of getting the half-ton alive was the option of going for a DRS review - something that has proven to be virtually useless against the officiating brilliance of Menon in this series. Nonetheless, Sharma chose to review the decision and even came close to keeping his wicket but since the umpire had already declared him out, the benefit of the doubt went to the bowling side and the Indian batsman’s 50 remained unfulfilled. Nitin Menon lvdkbl.. Control thatt finger — What's in a name? (@Hramblings) March 5, 2021Nitin menon is like old Steve Buckner..raising his finger whenever there is appeal against india batsman. When same decisions against india bowlers he was hesitant to give out n it turned to be Umpires call. @BCCI pls don't take him in india matches ever. #INDvENG @bhogleharsha — Sree (@coolsreez) March 5, 2021Nitin Menon doesn't even take a second before raising the finger for Indian batters @BCCI In close umpire calls, his decision is always against Indian team @imVkohli @SrBachchan — B.Saubhik (@Saubhik27) March 5, 2021@englandcricket have been so lucky with Umpires Call through out this series.When Batting,not given out on Umpires Call and while bowling, the umpire raises the finger on Umpires Call.Should thank Indian Umpires specially Nitin Menon @BCCI #INDvsENG @bhogleharsha @MichaelVaughan — Apoorv Johri (@ApoorvJohri2) March 5, 2021Barring a few questionable decisions with very small margin of error, Nitin Menon has been on-point in his calls, especially when it comes to the spinners and that too on a pitch as tricky as the Motera turf. Nitin Menon gets one wrong & the batsman who reviews correctly is @ashwinravi99 #INDvsENG — Shankar Ram Annur (@arshankarram) March 5, 2021 In the fourth and final match of the series, the only review that has gone against the official so far was when he declared Ravichandran Ashwin out in the 54th over when Stokes appealed for a caught-behind. Menon thought that the ball had hit the bat on the top edge but an immediate (and rather angry) review by Ashwin cleared that that was not the case. View the full article

If you ever doubted how brilliant Elon Musk really was, you’re not the only one. That’s because when he was 17, his computer aptitude test scores were so good that even the examiners didn’t believe them. The information comes from Elon’s mother Maye Musk who shared a three-decade-old document that showed Elon’s test scores. She revealed that he had to retake the test because the examiners did not believe someone could score so high on the aptitude test. .@elonmusk I found your computer aptitude test from when you were 17. If I remember correctly, they had to retest you because they had never seen such a high score. No wonder you are such a brilliant engineer. #ProudMom pic.twitter.com/7sGxAvLF4r — Maye Musk (@mayemusk) March 3, 2021 From the image shared by Elon’s mother, we can see that his result was signed by the Director of Information Management at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Musk attended the University briefly before moving to Canada at the age of 17. The letter, dated 1989, reads: "I have requested ISM (SA) to conduct aptitude tests on Elon Musk regarding computer programming etc. The results were outstanding." Musk scored an A+ in both Operating and Programming. © Reuters Maye Musk shared the document with the caption "I found your computer aptitude test from when you were 17. If I remember correctly, they had to retest you because they had never seen such a high score. "No wonder you are such a brilliant engineer," the mother added. His scores from when he was 17 have now gone viral where people on Twitter have hailed Musk's brilliance from an early age. Some even said Musk was their role model and an inspiration to many.
