The UK – the best place to be a RegTech company?
On 22nd November, the UK government reaffirmed its commitment to having a leading regulatory and technology environment in the UK. Within the Autumn Budget 2017 speech, the Rt Hon Philip Hammond announced a new £10bn Regulators' Pioneer Fund, established to "help regulators to develop innovative approaches aimed at getting new products and services to market".
UK regulators are already recognised as being at the cutting edge of financial and regulatory technology, thanks to initiatives such as the Financial Conduct Authority's Project Innovate and the Bank of England's FinTech Accelerator. The FCA, PRA and Bank of England are forward thinking, collaborative and increasingly open organizations, which alongside an active VC community and a good startup culture, makes the UK a great place for RegTech companies and solutions to flourish.
Indeed, a recent study of the global RegTech solutions also showed that the UK is emerging as the top location for starting and growing a RegTech company in Europe, giving the US a run for its money in terms of becoming the overall RegTech global hub. Of the 464 solutions listed in the RegTech Markets Directory, 147 are headquartered in the UK. In an awards process judged by a panel of industry experts, the top 50 firms were identified and over half of these were UK-based.
There are some significant issues to overcome for continued growth in this sector, not least that the buyers (the regulated firms) are struggling to identify, test and procure solutions in a timely manner.
Can the UK further capitalise on this promising start and attract even more RegTech innovation in 2018? With Brexit looming, nothing is certain but the budget announcement and the government's continued focus on technological innovation in the regulation space can only be a good thing for the development of smart solutions that help regulated firms meet their regulatory obligations more efficiently.

Q: Facebook mobile login with PHP SDK I could get Facebook token from Android device and post the value to the web server.
When I used Facebook PHP SDK, it was easy to get facebook user information.
// Get User ID
$fb_id = $this->facebook->getUser();

// Get User Info
$user_profile = $this->facebook->api('/me');

Just this one line gave me all the information.
I have no idea how to get a user information by using only facebook token that I get from mobile.
// get mobile token
$fb_token = $this->input->post('fb_token');

$user_info = 'https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token='.$fb_token;

Ok. so It looks like I get joson data if I use above url address.
How can I bring the array data into the server?

A: After the user has authenticated (SSO) you can simply use the Facebook object to make requests:
facebook.request("me", new RequestListener() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(String response, Object state) {}

    @Override
    public void onIOException(IOException e, Object state) {}

    @Override
    public void onFileNotFoundException(FileNotFoundException e, Object state) {}

    @Override
    public void onMalformedURLException(MalformedURLException e, Object state) {}

    @Override
    public void onFacebookError(FacebookError e, Object state) {}
});

You can make synced requests: API Requests or asynced: Async API Requests

A: you need add just one line and you are done.
$userData = file_get_contents($user_info);

1610s, from Late Latin soliloquium "a talking to oneself," from Latin solus "alone" (see sole (adj.)) + loqui "to speak" (from PIE root *tolkw- "to speak"). Also used in translation of Latin "Liber Soliloquiorum," a treatise by Augustine, who is said to have coined the word, on analogy of Greek monologia (see monologue). Related: Soliloquent.


R&B and reggae crooner Sammy Johnson will be performing in Pittsburgh, PA on Friday, October 20th! Australian native, New Zealand-bred soulful reggae star Sammy Johnson will bring his positive-centric brand of entertainment back to the United States this fall with the announcement of the Mixed Feelings Tour. Sammy Johnson collides his Polynesian roots with his love for modern jazz and r&b artists like D'Angelo, Amy Winehouse, and Lauryn Hill, which results in a passionate musical hybrid that is undeniably soothing.
With new music scheduled to drop later this month, including a collaboration with tourmate Anuhea, Sammy Johnson is finding his way onto the radars of many. Be on the lookout for Sammy's new EP, coming out on Island Empire Records in the near future, and be sure not to miss Sammy's first East Coast tour!

Chinese river dolphins are not just marine dolphins that swim up rivers; they are aquatic mammals that live permanently in fresh water rivers. River dolphins are less active and are much slower swimmers than their ocean cousins. Though they don't see well, their use of ultrasonics for echo-location enables them to avoid rocks, small mesh fishing nets and other obstacles in rivers. Unfortunately this harmless but curious creature is killed for food, blubber and oil that is used for medicinal liniment.


Back in September 2017 the Mountain Heritage Trust's British Women Climb exhibition opened at Keswick Museum; exploring the experiences of women climbers, their challenges to social expectations, and their mountaineering achievements across history.
Now, one year on, MHT is pleased to announce that the exhibition will remain open beyond September 2018 until February 2019. Given the success of the exhibition the decision has been made to extend the viewing period, allowing even greater numbers to learn about the growth of women's mountaineering.
Included in the exhibition is a range of historic artefacts: Lake District icon Mabel Barker's rope and boots, original Ladies' Alpine Club artefacts, and loans from the Fell and Rock Climbing Club, the Pinnacle Club as well as world bouldering champion Shauna Coxsey's shoes and championship medal.
The exhibition is installed at Keswick Museum, for which access information and opening times can be found here.

Preview: Morecambe (A)
Cheltenham Town go in search of a first away win of the season on Saturday with a trip to the Globe Arena to take on Morecambe (kick-off: 3pm).
A first League Two victory of the season over Scunthorpe United brought with it an emphatic 4-1 win last weekend to ensure the Robins travel north to Lancashire with points already on the board.
The midweek loss to League One Bristol Rovers in the Carabao Cup is now behind Michael Duff's side as they look to make good early season progress in the League.
Morecambe themselves secured safe passage through in the Carabao Cup in midweek in an all League Two tie and will provide stern opponents on home soil this weekend.
Injury will rule out Will Boyle and Reuben Reid, however Ryan Broom and Max Sheaf are both expected to return after missing Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat.
Striker Gavin Reilly is also available for selection after he was unavailable in midweek.
Rohan Ince's suspension means he misses out for a third game in a row.
Watch Michael Duff's pre-match press conference below:
Morecambe have started the season with a loss on the opening day to Grimsby, an away draw at Mansfield, plus a Carabao Cup win once again over Mansfield on penalty kicks.
Jim Bentley's side are entering into their 13th season at this level following their promotion from the old Conference National in 2007.
Their squad features a number of long-term servants such as goalkeeper Barry Roche and the entertaining 40-year-old Kevin Ellison.
The spine of their team is built on the likes of former Cardiff City man Aaron Wildig in midfield, while at the back Steven Old, former Burnley man Luke Conlan and Scotland youth international Sam Lavelle provide the solid platform that has seen them become an effective side at this level for many seasons.
In attack the Robins back line will have to keep a watchful eye over the likes of summer arrival Lewis Alessandra, ex-Tranmere Rovers target man Cole Stockton and AJ Leitch-Smith - a former teammate of Chris Clements at Crewe Alexandra.
They include one former Cheltenham man in the shape of Jordan Cranston in their ranks. He signed a new two-year deal to stay with the Lancashire side in June, while this week they've brought in Manchester United youngster George Tanner on loan. The 19-year-old left back has agreed a season-long move.
In the Football League the two clubs have been familiar opponents in League Two. Since 2008, except for two FA Cup meetings, all of the teams clashes have been in the fourth tier.
Cheltenham boast the better record having won on nine occasions, while Morecambe have come out on top five times. There have also been six draws between the two.
The club's last two visits to the Shrimps have ended in defeats. Last season it was a disappointing 4-0 loss. The last Cheltenham victory there was in December 2016 when goals from Billy Waters and Harry Pell sealed a 2-1 win - watch the highlights from that game below.

BTCC could adopt new qualifying format again for 2021 – BTCC
The British Touring Car Championship could adopt the experimental qualifying format used for last weekend's penultimate round at Snetterton at more meetings next season.
Instead of a single 30-minute qualifying session to set the grid for the first of the three races, the field was sent out for a 25-minute session.
This set the starting order for 11th position down, with the top 10 then going through to a 10-minute pole position shootout following a five-minute break.
"I think it worked well, although there's a couple of things I'd change just operationally," BTCC boss Alan Gow told Autosport.
"When the 25-minute session finished we probably needed to leave a bit more time, because especially on this long lap the cars coming into the pitlane need more time to sort out tyres and things for the shootout.
"Other than that, operationally it went well, and generally the teams liked it.
"We have an annual teams' meeting a couple of weeks after the last race, and we'll discuss whether we'll expand it for more rounds or all rounds," he added.
Snetterton is the longest circuit on the BTCC schedule, with lap times in the mid-1m50s, and some believe that the format could be better suited to shorter tracks.
Last weekend's shootout was also affected by cold weather, with eight of the 10 cars involved going out at the start of the session and circulating for four flying laps to get heat into their tyres.
AmD boss Shaun Hollamby, whose team runs the MB Motorsport Honda Civics and Trade Price Cars Audi S3s, said: "I think it would work better on a shorter circuit where people would get two stabs at it [with a mid-session pitstop].
"The pressure is the same as it always is to get in the top 10, but strategy does come into it with tyres.
"For example, we sent Jake Hill out at the end of the first session just to get some heat into the rear tyres to carry into the shootout."
Championship leader Colin Turkington, who put his BMW on pole via the new format, said: "I enjoyed it – it was definitely more pressure than a normal qualifying.
"I was conscious just to do enough in Q1, and I got a pretty good opening run, which was good enough to make it through, but in Q2 the pressure was on."


STA Digital is passionate about providing strong brand identity and logo design for our clients. Yes, we have even been accused of being logo snobs. That's okay, because we understand what a strong brand identity can accomplish for strong brand recognition.
Brand identity is the total outward expression of the company. Often, the first impression a customer has of a company is visually through the company's name, logo, tagline, color palette, visual design, and voice. When all of these elements have been carefully designed and orchestrated, a company's brand awareness and recognition among its prospects and customers increases dramatically.
Traditional aspects of branding will always be important, but in the current digital landscape, new realities must be considerations carefully as well. If a business is looking to create a new online product or service, the branding effort in a digital world includes such variables as available domain names, company or product name vs. available domain names, competitive search competition on key names and phrases, and the availability of URL names on various key social media platforms.
STA Digital has demonstrated a history of asking these critical questions of our clients and providing them with comprehensive advice when it comes to the traditional and non-traditional aspects of creating brands and identities.

The history of international food aid and the impact of changes in food assistance policies since the turn of the century were the focus of the joint Food Systems Research Group and Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences seminar by Dr. Ryan Cardwell on October 31.
Canada's international food aid today looks a lot different than when it began in 1951 as a means to dispose of surplus wheat stocks. In Canada and many other donor countries, both the type of aid and how food is sourced have completely changed during this period.
In the past, the majority of food assistance leaving Canada was either targeted to specific initiatives in recipient countries through project food aid, or supplied as a resource transfer providing balance-of-payments support to recipient-country governments through programme food aid. At that time food was primarily sourced within Canadian borders and shipped to recipient countries, referred to as direct-transfer aid.
A shift began early in the 21st century and today the vast majority of assistance is provided in the form of cash, with food being sourced in the recipient country – either locally, regionally or purchased in one country then distributed in another – instead of the donor country providing mainly "home-grown" cereal grains. This shift has allowed for overall greater purchasing power and the ability to provide foods that are more culturally relevant than under the original direct-transfer aid model.
In 2001, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) argued that tying aid makes it inefficient and ineffective for a variety of reasons. Some of the concerns surrounding tied food aid include the cost of processing, shipping, and non-competitive procurement (which raises food-aid prices), the timeliness of shipping (which often took months to be delivered), the negative effects on competing local recipient markets, the possibility of political outcomes being manipulated, and the cultural difference in the food being delivered.
After a lobbying effort that was led by Winnipeg's Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the Canadian Government reformed its food assistance tying policies in two stages. The tying rate was reduced to 50% in 2005 and was eliminated in 2008. Food aid practitioners (mainly the World Food Programme and Canadian Foodgrains Bank) reacted quickly to this new flexibility in sourcing, and now buy all food assistance outside Canada – usually from markets closer to recipients.
Interested in determining how the untying of food aid affected the quantity of food aid Canada provided, Cardwell, in collaboration with Pascal Ghazalian, associate professor of Economics at the University of Lethbridge, modeled 'what if?' scenarios to predict what would have happened if food aid purchases had remained tied to Canadian sources.
Canada and the majority of other donor countries now provide nearly all food aid as cash, although a few countries, most notably the United States – the largest global donor several times over – continues to tie most of its international food aid to domestic sources.
Interested in learning more? The video of this seminar, including the Q & A session is available on YouTube.
What is the Food Systems Research Group? The FSRG is an umbrella group fostering the creation of multi/trans-disciplinary collaborative research to advance the theme of Safe, Healthy, Just and Sustainable Food Systems.

'Jonathan Lamb has done an excellent job . . . The message that God is in control and is enough, even in the most difficult circumstances, rings out loud and clear.' Clare Heath-Whyte, author of First Wives' Club and Old Wives' TalesWho is in control? The sustained threat from rogue states, international terrorism, religious extremists, and moral confusion arising from liberal views of all kinds … begs the question: what is happening to our world?Is no-one in control? This is a deep vulnerability that many people express. And not simply in global events. Our own personal world often seems out of control as we reel from suffering, family tragedies and unanswered prayers.The prophet Habakkuk knew that God was in control but, like us, his personal experience seemed to contradict this and he wrestled with the tension.This book is a dialogue between the prophet and God. Habakkuk confronts God with his confusion and, in doing so, he expresses the voice of the godly in Judah and he speaks for us. We join in the journey from 'why?' to worship.


The weekend gone by was an exulting time of re-discovery for a number of people. As the hours rolled on, burdens visibly lightened and shoulders straightened out as they found strength and support in Jesus.
The Christian Life Seminar (CLS) held on June 22-23, 2013 at Dhyana Ashram, Chennai was just like the break of monsoon on the earth parched by the summer heat. This experience brought life into the lives of the couples, as they experienced the love of the loving God.
The CLS started with a session on God's love by Mr Irwin, who walked them through on a journey of God's love. He spoke to them on how God's love brings happiness, a happiness that fills and satisfies. He delved on God as the source of joy and happiness through his plans for each of their lives.
At the end of every session, the participants spent time before the Blessed Sacrament and reflected on the message and their lives.
The participants were then split into different groups headed by a facilitator, to share how they have experienced God's love in their lives and the times they have not.
This was followed by Holy Mass where Rev Peter Raymond, Director Family Commission, Chennai Arch Diocese spoke on the pivotal role of the family in the Christian faith. He laid emphasis on bringing up children in the faith through guidance and by setting an example through their lives.
This was followed by a session on What it means to be a Christian by Sharon. She explained the deeper aspects of being a Christian as compared to the outwardly signs that people are habituated to. She explained the need to model ourselves inwardly, rather than outwardly, as Christians.
Following this, the groups split up to share on their lives as Christians, the challenges they face and the expectations they have.
The day ended with the holy rosary with each decade being offered for a special intention to their make lives more beautiful. The children performed lovely action songs that they learnt during the day.
Sunday morning began with a wonderful session on Sin and Repentance by Kevin who talked about how sin takes a person away from God. He emphasized the importance of turning away from sin and coming back to God.
At the end of the session, the groups shared on how Sin has kept them away from God and his love. Following this, the participants met their mentors for a one-to-one session to discuss their lives and its challenges and to seek help in the areas they struggle.
The participants then prepared themselves for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The priests expressed their appreciation that participants were encouraged to spend time during the sacrament of reconciliation.
The CLS came to an end with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed by the children showcasing the action songs and enacting the bible verses.
At the end, the participants shared their experience at the CLS and praised God for his abundant mercy.
Children over 2 years had a separate program while their parents attended their session, they had different activities, action songs and coloring games to learn more about God and his abundant love.

-These studded sandals are an amazing dupe for the designer pair. The flat version, which I've mentioned before, is super cute too!
-I've been loving powder blue lately so I couldn't resist this cute peasant top. It's so lightweight and will look great with white jeans.
-This crochet-trimmed top is so easy and versatile. I love it with a high-waisted pencil skirt for work or with cutoffs over a swimsuit for lounging poolside.
-The NARS "The Multiple" makeup stick is one of my favorites all year round (I usually use "Portofino,") but I'm especially loving it in "Copacabana" for that extra glow I love during the summer!
-Personally, I can't get on board with the platform wedge trend we're seeing this summer, but I felt like I had to let you know about these. They're a great look for less option at less than $20, so you won't feel guilty about trying it out.
-Since cutting my hair, I've been using this (in addition to my favorite texturizing spray) for extra piecey-ness and I'm absolutely obsessed! It's not greasy or heavy so it's perfect for summer and I love how it gives my waves that slightly undone look.
-I saw this floppy straw hat in person last week and regret not buying it right then and there. It's so cute and looks much more expensive than it is!
-How cute are these glass boxes as a way to display jewelry and other items around the home? I want a ton of them!
-If you have any black tie weddings coming up, this dress is a great option at an even better price. It's basic but not boring and I absolutely love both colors!
-I've been wearing the metal collar necklaces I bought non-stop and just came across this one. It's a great price and comes in both silver and gold.

Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation in Early Nineteenth-Century Black America Ryan, Susan M. 2001-03-01 00:00:00 American Literature nomena from the early 1500s to the mid-1800s.

Q: Sticky footer doesn't have 100% width I have a website with the following structure:

bigContent is dynamic and often stretches to large sizes (demonstrated by its width and height). Because a lot of elements are dynamically rendered into the div, bigContent isn't set to a static width.
How can I force the footer to have the same width as bigContent?
See my example jsFiddle.
html {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    height: 100%;
    min-width: 100%;
}

#page {
    min-height: 100%;
    min-width: 100%;
    position: relative;
}

#bigContent {
    background: black;
    height: 3000px;
    width: 5000px;
}

#footer {
    background: blue;
    clear: left;
    bottom: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100px;
}

A: You can set some properties to #pagecontent then it will work as per your need:
html {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    height: 100%;
    min-width: 100%;
}
#pagecontent {
    float: left;
    position: relative;
}

Change happens, and your business will face change(s) in the future. So how you as a business owner manage change will impact your company's success. And it is important that you are prepared because it all comes down to planning. Every business owner should have a contingency plan that outlines the steps that are required to be taken when there is a transfer of business ownership.
For example, you may have made the decision to retire and sell your business. Or you need to bring a new partner aboard because your business is really successful and is experiencing growing pains. Your steps to transfer business ownership depend upon not only your business' corporate structure but also the nature of the change of ownership. Let's take a look at two scenarios involving a change in ownership with one for a Limited Liability Company and the other for a corporation.
You must first determine if there are any state regulations that require you to document a change in ownership or management. In most cases, if the state did not record any name(s) as the member(s) or manager(s) in the Certificate of Formation, you can report these changes in your annual report. If any names were recorded, you will have to file a Certificate of Amendment with the state to amend the names of the member(s) or manager(s).
There may be other considerations that you may need to understand to clearly grasp the change in ownership. In some cases there are other scenarios not listed above that may apply to you. And there may be additional filings or elections that must be taken care of in order to change ownership. Outlined below are some FAQs to further assist you.
Ultimately, the steps to take to transfer business ownership from one type of business to another depending on the type of business entity. Specific steps change whether the business entity is a corporation or LLC. The best course of action when dealing with the sale of a company or adding owners is to consult with legal counsel to ensure correct due diligence.

The Oracles of Distraction
Chris Mosdell and Shuntaro Tanikawa
The I-Ching of music: 77 musical interludes adjoined to a set of 77 "oracles". Contained within an elaborate double CD packaging, a numbered pack of bilingual distractive oracular cards can be programmed to equivalent musical tracks. Written in parallel by Chris and the renowned Japanese poet Shuntaro Tanikawa, and composed by the Mosdell/Imai partnership.
SINGING IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE
"The Oracles, as the title implies, were written and composed to be distractive. But I still like to think of them as exultations. As the Sexguitar Birdboy sang: "To close the eyes is to speak, to speak is to see," and it is him that I took up with. I was there, albeit momentarily, in the Great Morning of the Violin Hunters. I rode over the snow veldt passing flame from mouth to mouth. I was the one burning the Gong Cinemas and the Trance Halls, stinging youth to death and living forever. I was, in that brief span of time, Legend Boy, one of the Miracle Kids, Gun, the Dagger Poet—searching for a noble language, and being tortured by true love.
It was under this guise that the Oracles of Distraction became sanctuaries— sanctuaries of a personal escape. And to this end they still are. Each card in this set has the properties of an allotrope—a compound ideogram having an interchangeable voice dependent on its musical frame. Similar to their Chinese counterparts, these ideograms are written from a pictorial base. The ontology is a small drawing, the sight given to the word. Musically, the oracles are views over seventy-seven landscapes (for it is how music is viewed as much as it is listened to that interests me). The music dictates the tone of the word, and likewise, the image of the word can have an emotive influence on how the music is accepted. The music can quietly complement the ideograms or conversely be quite incongruous. In a constructive sense the oracles are given to misguide. Looked upon otherwise and their function is misunderstood. They are not directives. They are not instructional. They are, above all, "Somewhere majestic, somewhere unseen/ somewhere between the day and the dream." They sing in their own language.
I have never really considered the cards in the vein of prophecy but rather think of them as simultaneous views in two languages, (Tanikawa-san's beautiful and confronting assets/img striding off at a marvelous tangent from my own) separate in their perspectives and supported by their musical accompaniments, having a refractive nature like light entering water. They have always been intended to defy our own logic, break what we see as method.
They are to turn the head, as if glimpsed out of the corner of the eye. Of course, the oracles lend themselves quite easily to interpretation but the idea of prophecy is solely the prerogative of those who might believe in it.
On a practical note, select a card from the shuffled pack and program your compact disc player for the appropriate number. Independent of this the random shuffle selector can be used on your player to arbitrarily select a musical frame for a pre-chosen card. This allows seventy-seven scores for a single ideogramic reading. I have also tried to arrange the musical side of the oracles into a listenable flow so as the linked pieces lead the listener/viewer on some, hopefully adventurous, voyage amongst the islands."
ORACULAR EXTRAVAGANZA
An exhibition of interactive distraction: seventy-seven large laminated panels, each enclosing a central oracular painting (translucently lit with precision spots) and corresponding poems, were set in crystalline formation in a darkened gallery. The sound system, especially designed and sponsored by Sony, allowed visitors, issued with wireless headphones, to be beamed individual musical tracks when stationed before each oracle. The gallery's entrance was designed in the mode of a Shinto shrine, with entrance attendants dressed in Shinto maiden attire. As is the customary fashion at Japanese shrines, especially on New Year's Day, visitors could shake an oracular stick (one of seventy-seven, in this case), and be provided with a distractive reading before entering the installation. There were seventy-seven different admission tickets!
Chris Mosdell
The sirens are singing over the Lymphatic Lagoon
As ol' Blackout Boy, unwaxed and wanton to the core
On wolf heroin, the blazing force at the door,
Sails from the harbour to further shores

Q: How do I force IPv4 or IPv6 for a Wi-Fi network on iOS 15? I need to use a sofware that only supports IPv4 on iOS 15, but my ISP provides IPv6 addresses by default.
How do I force my iOS device to use IPv4 only on a certain Wi-Fi network, or the other way around (force IPv6)?

A: When an iOS device connects to a WiFi-network, it will by default request both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If you only see an IPv6 in the settings, it is because your ISP only gives out IPv6 addresses.
If you want to use IPv4 on that WiFi-network, you will need to either get your ISP to change their settings to enable IPv4, or use a VPN service that you can connect to over IPv6 that gives you a virtual IPv4 interface.
It is not possible to disable IPv6 for a specific WiFi-network or for WiFi-networks in general on iOS. Similarly you cannot "force" IPv6.

arcam avr850 review
In terms of features the SR250 has everything you would expect from an upmarket AV product (bar the number of power amp channels, of course). Dirac is better than ARC – but it is a smaller step than say ARC v Audyssey. The AVR850 didn't just do well with harder punk/rock, but also handled the mellow side with ease. Arcam is one of Britain's most beloved audio brands and the AVR450 is one of three AV receivers in its latest range, sandwiched between the top-end AVR750 and 'entry-level' AVR380. I connected all of these via HDMI. The AVR850 left its competition in the dust with the way it reproduced the complex, full-range effects in this movie. So now I was ready to enjoy some movies and music! It is about as idiot proof as a complex system can be. At 2V out, the THD+N is 0.00324%. Store Pickup at. The built-in amplification provides plenty of power for most any system. AVR850 (Discontinued) AV Receiver As one of the very few audio specialists in the world to design AV receivers, Arcam has developed a reputation for balancing a finely honed technical specification with world class audio performance. Hi Ahmed – The Arcam, at $6000 MSRP, is approaching double the cost of the Anthem and is the most expensive receiver we know of from a "mainstream brand" (the Lexicon RV-9 appears to us to be the same innards as the AVR850). The engine noises were fleshy but realistic sounding – the Arcam passing these effects just the way they were intended; strongly, powerfully and with vanishingly low distortion. It's HDMI 2.0 interface is 3D compliant as well and includes Audio Return Channel (ARC) functionality. The laptop and receiver need to be on the same network. But first, I'd like to make a few observations about the set up. The remote for the AVR850 is well laid out and is backlit. Lastly, I didn't have success pairing the AVR850 as a pre-amp with my Parasound Halo A51. Stereophile seldom reviews A/V receivers. The comment form collects your name, email and content to allow us keep track of the comments placed on the website. Ebony hottie sucks big dick and banged in bedroom, Amateur teen GF sucks and fucks with facial. The B-A peak is the difference signal that is sympathetic to the input signals, 1 kHz in this case. There was a day not too many years ago where this low a reading would have only been possible from the most expensive of 2-channel preamplifiers. I've had Brandi Carlile in rotation recently in anticipation of a "tribute album" slated to come out this year with covers from the likes of Pearl Jam. But in actuality, I never stopped using the AVR850's Class G amps during the entire evaluation period. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get reliable pairing with the A51 – and at times the amp would pop on and off due to the unreliable connection. Customer Rating. The two key differences for us are in the amplification and room correction. This remote can be programmed to control up to 8 devices. Most of my sources are HDMI anymore. Difference in movies: Due to its room correction and support for latest formats the movies (blu ray) do sound more open and better with the Arcam. The main power toggle is just under those jacks. The Arcam AVR850 is a refined and high performing AV Receiver – and at $6000, among the most costly available for purchase today. arcamArcam AVR850bench-testFeaturedReceiver Reviews 2016ReceiversSurround Receiver. By Dennis Burger Published: February 2, 2017 ⋅ Updated: April 15, 2019 The receiver's back panel layout is clean, reasonably uncluttered and logically laid out. The $6000 you'll spend on the AVR850 is similar to the cost for many pre-amp/processor combinations, and cheaper than other seven channel Dirac Live combinations. Audio takes quite a while to lock in, and in some cases, I experience lip-sync issues with this source. Let me break it down a little more. Speaker outputs are heavy duty five-way binding posts for all 7 channels. My main speakers are moderately efficient with a claimed in-room sensitivity of 94 dB. It has all the latest bells and whistles required to be the heart and soul of a high end surround sound system. All tests are 2 channels driven into 8 ohms. Free 2-Day Shipping. Arcam is one brand they handle. Some may think the price of the AVR850 is a little high and I get that. There are a plethora of HDMI 2.0a inputs and dual HDMI outputs. In many ways, it brought me very close to what I heard in the Datasat RS20i which is a product that costs over $25,000 and has no included amplification. Once your account is created, you'll be logged-in to this account. If you are interested in peak sonic performance but haven't wanted to embrace separates, then the AVR850 deserves strong consideration. The Arcam simply is that good. The simplest thing we can say about the AVR850 set-up is: it's a bit quirky, so either be prepared to roll up your sleeves or, preferably, just leave it to your dealer to handle. © Copyright 2020 Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity /, Show Reports, Film Festivals and Concerts, MartinLogan Balanced Force 212 Subwoofer Review, Starke Sound A8.350 Multichannel Power Amplifier Review, STAX SR-007A Electrostatic Headphone Review, SR-L700 MKII Earspeaker Review and the SRM-D10 Portable Driver Unit for Earspeakers Review, What We Are Watching Vol. Most all the scenes were outdoor scenes and the sounds of the wind rustling leaves and the rainfall/snowfall on those very leaves was incredibly convincing. My first movie experience with the AVR850 was with 2016s Sully. The analog inputs and outputs are situated below the row of HDMI jacks. This is a well recorded and properly mastered presentation. (This particular shop was within walking distance of Jim's home, much to the chagrin of the owner and his staff.)

These are ably backed-up with a decent array of digital and line-level analogue inputs. The right side of the panel has two ports for mini plugs – Auxiliary in and Headphone out. The unit is capable of handling all typical sound formats, including Atmos – though, with only 7 amplified channels, you'll be stuck making choices as to what to use the extra two channels for (Atmos, rear-surrounds, etc). It is compatible with the latest audio and video formats while it includes one of the best room correction packages on the market. Unusual for an AV receiver, this type of power supply is more usually only found in high-end stereo amps. This was one reason I am sure why I measured such low levels of THD+N in my bench testing of the AVR850. With more laid back tracks like "The Eye", the AVR850 does a brilliant job at resolving the subtleties in this track. Similar to Mission Impossible, this is a film that would seriously tax the amplification built into lesser receivers. Dirac easily outperforms the Audyssey XT32 / Audyssey Professional combination that I use in my room with a Marantz AV8801. As one of the very few audio specialists in the world to design AV receivers, Arcam has developed a reputation for balancing a finely honed technical specification with world class audio performance. I was honestly thinking I would just test the internal amps for a while, become disillusioned with their quality and/or power output and then switch back to my big outboard amp. So now he's working on the video and surround sound conundrums too. Take the Blu-ray of Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga "Cheek to Cheek Live!". I had never heard of Barnett before that show and am a big fan of her modern, punky sound. You need to select "+ Dolby Surround" in the main menu. But I did need to manually balance the channels after Dirac Live was done. Also as mentioned earlier, we think that wireless internet should be standard. 4 - 5 reviews AV receiver from Arcam AVR850 is not the sexiest devices you can buy. One major demo I heard that evening was of the Arcam AVR850 surround receiver. This has proven to be a never ending quest.

This exceeds manufacturer claims. This was in fact evidence that the protection circuits were working as expected. AV Receiver Reviews Arcam AVR850 A/V Receiver Review Page 2 My results were consistent (visually, at least) with the many other measurements and corrections I've applied to this system in this room, from many different EQ schemes: same or similar … They had opportunities for press and dealers to come to their office and preview a number of new products. This all worked fine in the end – but we still would like to see wifi in an AVR of this cost. Who do we think is the right customer for the AVR850? One of my favorite philosophers, the neuroscientist Sam Harris, frequently makes an intriguing point about the future of artificial intelligence. So we don't really consider them comparable – they are really punching in different weight classes. (note that the avr600 uses Arcam's proprietary room correction, which never works!). The third and last test plot shows the THD+N is less than 0.005% just below the amplifier's rated output of 120 watts per channel. When I connected the Roku box directly to … How Much Amplifier Power Does your Home Theater Need? The AVR850 uses their own implementation of Class G amplification.While it is beyond the scope of this review to dive into the technicals, Class G operates very similar to traditional Class A/B amplifiers but is more efficient especially with higher output levels. Not only was this a fantastic movie, the Dolby Atmos soundtrack is excellent. I then configured outputs 6 and 7 to be used for the height channels. I liked this remote very much. Category. The AVR850 is also DTS:X ready via an upcoming firmware update. The HDMI board is along the top and is where you will find the 7 inputs and two outputs. Again, toggling Dirac on and off produces a marked improvement – the guitar riffs and vocals possess a tightness I've never before heard in my room. Once all the connections were made, I launched the software on the laptop and was pleased with how simple and straight forward the calibration process was. The key reason for the lack of success was the 12-volt trigger – which just didn't play well with my A51. It is more expensive to build than Class A/B, which is why you see it restricted to higher-end components and bigger amplifiers, but it can provide more power with less energy use than a Class A/B amplifier can. The Arcam AVR850 is the second product I have tested that has Dirac Live and Dirac has proven to be in the same class as Anthem's "Anthem Room Correction (ARC)" system. But this is not the case with Arcam's AVR850. (1) $4,499.98 Your price for this item is $4,499.98. If you want anything else you'll need to employ some sort of external streaming solution. It is especially fun to experiment with Dirac on and off. The AVR850 is on the cutting edge of today's technology with the most up to date audio processing available for the consumer market. Arcam has designed their own circuitry here which is governed by a very fast switching power supply so there is no audible lag in delivering the power required at any given moment in time. Categories & Filters. Vocals are more clear, and every instrument is easily tighter, clearer and more distinguishable. So the movie watching was pretty awesome with the AVR850 in my system. Price Guarantee. The Arcam AVR850 gets my highest recommendation. This was all very exciting to me as I had recently installed in-ceiling height speakers in my theater. There are a lot of cheaper receivers on the market that, on paper, may seem to offer better value. The sound of the strings, the drums and most especially the voices were amazingly true to life and emotive. It uses Arcam's traditional audiophile Class G power amps, here rated at 100W-per-channel. Despite all the nice things I've said about this receiver heretofore, this proved to be a major high point so not sure how to describe what I heard other than to say it was singularly the very best reproduction of a 2-channel source than I have ever heard from a surround receiver. SoundOrg is an importer and distributor of high quality stereo and home theater products. Every day I use the AVR850 I am surprised by how good Dirac sounds, and the AVR850 is the only receiver that implements this unbelievable feature. I have found "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" to be one of the best among the early wave of Dolby Atmos Blu-ray releases. Easily the best amplifier performance I've ever experienced in a dedicated AV receiver, paired with cutting edge Dirac Live room correction. This was not a concern as 2V out is ample to drive most domestic amplifiers to clipping so shutting down just before 5V is not a problem. This is a processor only. The reported IMD at 2V was 0.0027%. Excavate the AVR850 from its box and you'll discover it's fairly heavy (16kg) and offers the typical Arcam design. It also has Dirac Live, one of my favorite room correction systems out there. 5 stars 5. My favorite song on this album is "Oh My Sweet Carolina". I never found myself wanting for extra dynamics – the AVR850 clearly has enough reserves to keep up with the swings we see in this movie. My last analog source is my Parasound phono stage. There is a USB port there too, but it is for playing files from a jump drive or a hard drive, it is not for computer audio. On a personal note, Jim is a Professional Engineer, licensed in California and Texas. But I can attest through my hands-on experience with the AVR850, there are substantial benefits that the Arcam has over the competition. We made an exception for Arcam's FMJ SR250 ($3600) because it's that unusual two-channel device: one that includes room-correction software, in this case Dirac Live. Atmos is one of the newest surround formats on the market. In other words, you set the AVR850 to pass the native format and then it overlays Dolby Surround which then engages the height channels. I connected this to the "STB" input because it was available and I thought I could watch satellite TV while listening but I found that I needed to switch the video input each time (because the STB input has its own native video source). One record I enjoyed was Ryan Adams "Heartbreaker" special anniversary edition on vinyl. But not the Arcam. Though this omission lends to the clean look of the AVR850, I am sure most users would hope for these inputs at one point or another. The other key feature in the Arcam AVR850 is the presence of Dirac Live. 0% Financing* Online Sales: 888.899.8776 | Raleigh: 919.881.2005 | … Add to Cart. I placed the unit in the rack where I typically keep my surround processor and then hooked up all my sources, displays and speakers. And the strength of the amplifiers in the AVR850, particularly with multiple channels firing, will be one of the most lingering impressions I will have of this fine product. I am absolutely floored by both the sonic performance of the AVR850, as well as the improvements conveyed by Dirac. This is the first of the IMD tests we do on amplifiers. There are no HDMI or USB front panel inputs. You then connect the receiver to the same network via its Ethernet connection. This Arcam combines good styling with plenty of meaningful substance. With Dirac engaged, every aspect of the tracks tightens considerably. But much more than that, the mix in this scene is very complex. They were nothing short of awesome! Although reviews of premium products are readily available, a frequently-ignored fact is that sometimes, a company's less expensive models can sound not only as good, but … Vol.11 – November 2020, A Collection of New Vinyl for the Audiophile: November 2020, What We Are Watching Vol. Compared to Class A/B, the Class G topology allows a more efficient design. The finish is a n… The unit comes with a USB soundcard and analog mic that you connect to a laptop on which you have downloaded the Dirac Live for Arcam software.

Now getting into the ring is the company's new AV860. We mentioned earlier in the review that the AVR850 only offers Spotify Connect. I never had one single reliability issue with the unit throughout a very long evaluation period. The big volume knob is flanked by 10 buttons that inconceivably provide full control of the product. Please read and accept our website Terms and Privacy Policy to post a comment. Arcam AVR20. I recently upgraded my system by installing in-ceiling height speakers and that's why I was most excited to test out Dolby Atmos. Also, the singers' voices were uncannily real and let me feel I was right there enjoying this amazing performance side by side with the audience. The AVR850 is the only AV receiver to incorporate this advanced room correction platform. The growl of the engines was very satisfying for sure. We understand the choice, but we've used wifi in other products without issues. Home Audio. It uses Arcam's traditional audiophile Class G power amps, here rated at 100W-per-channel. Other aspects of the AVR850 are pretty standard. From an amplification standpoint, the AVR850 performs flawlessly. Additionally, it doesn't appear that the AVR850 is capable of using the internet to tell users that a new firmware exists – so you're left to check on your own to see if any firmware is available. This movie turned out to be the ideal choice for adding height information. What does one get for that $6000? Since perfect recreation of sound and video is a goal to be pursued but never attained, Jim derives his pleasure from the journey itself. These type of issues were common years ago as companies worked to debug HDMI, but are far less common now. ... 1 out of 5 stars with 1 review. It is something you must experience for yourself. For me, i think i'll be going with the anthem. Another major benefit of the AVR850 is that it comes complete with Dirac Live room correction. It has robust and clean sounding amplifiers on board. I have been impressed lately by what I have heard and measured from receivers over the last few years and the Arcam receiver is right up there with the best. I tried it on a movie that I happen to have missed in theaters – "The Revenant". You owe it to yourself to give the AVR850 receiver a try before you invest in a new receiver. So the first time I watched it was over the AVR850 with the height channels engaged. Also on this row are the Ethernet port, 75 ohm antenna jack and the various control ports which include four programmable DC triggers. every company that has several models of home theatre receiver puts more power and more features in the more expensive units, fewer of both in the less expensive ones It was purchased by a member and kindly drop shipped to me. The set-up is fussy, and best left to professionals; in use, performance can be quirky at times; lacks some basic features we have come to like in receivers like wifi and streaming platforms. Together, these two attributes mean the AV850 performance rivals many separate processor/amp combinations, with the convenience and footprint of an "all-in-one" AV receiver. Though the setting was better than a show room floor, I still felt that the receiver just wasn't being shown in its best light. A lot of surround receivers do well with movies but fall woefully short on music. Paul Rigby. There was another action-packed Dolby Atmos Blu-ray that I enjoyed quite a bit while reviewing the AVR850 – "Terminator Genisys". I was fixated. Lesser receivers might devolve the presentation into a grungy morass of blended noises. Arcam AVR-850 & Arcam AVR-550 Just hooked up a Roku Ultra box with an Audioquest Carbon 1m HDMI cable to the 850 and an Inneos Real4K fiber/HDMI adapter to my JVC NX7. The cheaper model is almost identical to its expensive sibling, boasting exactly the same utilitarian but well-made chassis, simplified connections and features. A big part of this observation is that I never felt that the amplifiers were straining up to their limit even when listening at very loud playback levels. I found its ability for musical playback to rival many of the best 2-channel receivers I have heard. This is a review and detailed measurements of the Arcam AVR10 7.2 channel Audio/Video Receiver (AVR). The 2015 CEDIA Expo was in Dallas where the HQ of Sound Organisation is located. My positive impressions were further reinforced by the superior bench tests results obtained. There are no less than seven HDMI inputs, all fully capable of handling 4K, HDR signals. The Dirac/Class G combination doesn't just excel on movies but also sounds terrific with music. Arcam tells us that they opted for wired ethernet only as they like the more stable connection and believe wifi negatively impacts sound quality. It would be nice to have a Type B USB to make a digital connection to a computer easier, but beyond that, we dou… I hope this technology finds its way to more platforms because the results I achieve in my multi-use room are clearly superior to what I have been able to achieve previously. But it seriously punched above its weight, combining Arcam's Class G power amps with premium Dirac Live EQ. It is compatible with the latest audio and video formats while it includes one of the best room correction packages on the market. I would estimate that on a movie like Genisys, the AVR850 provided over 90% of what was heard with the incredible Datasat in the system. So I requested a review sample of the Arcam AVR850 to review on my own personal system. Beyond the obvious scenes of the actual plane "water landing" (not crash as Capt. Arcam AVR 850 REVIEW Written by Terry Ellis  The Arcam AVR 850 AV Receiver is as of writing about the best all in box you can buy for AV Duties. Up Next Anthem MRX 1120 A/V Receiver Review The Arcam AVR850 stands out as one of the best sounding receivers that I have ever had in my system. The unit lacks some common features and can be quirky in performance, but both of these can be managed through the proper installation with your AV professional. Again, while it is beyond the scope of this article to dive into the details of Dirac – at RHT we are big fans of room correction, and Dirac is among the best systems available today. DTS:X is DTS's latest surround format that, though it is lagging Atmos in its roll out, is also expected to be widely released in the coming months. Compromise, can take many forms including not having the space for a dedicated theatre room, or perhaps not having any room in the budget for the next upgrade. These can be accessed by included codes but also the remote can learn codes of any products not listed on the extensive library of preset codes. Along with that, the addition of Dirac to this unit essentially means there are multiple work streams required to get the AVR850 up and running correctly. The test signal comprises two simultaneous tones of the same amplitude, one is 19 kHz and the other is 20 kHz. Not only is it high resolution but it involves mastering techniques where the mastering engineer can move sound objects throughout the room, including overhead. which is an indication of one of the AVR850's limitations — this is only a seven- ARCAM REPRINTED FROM HOME CINEMA CHOICE Nostalgic user interface Switch on the AVR850 and you'll immediately discover an area where Arcam could make some improvement. The AVR850 can also synthesized Dolby Atmos from pretty much any source and the effect was at times quite engaging. The AVR850 is a truly high-end AVR option for those concerned with best-in-class performance sonic performance: Arcam's Class G amplification paired with Dirac Live room correction software, means a user can achieve very high performance, without resorting to the complexity of AV separates. In all regards, Dirac is clearly superior to this system. The AVR390 is Arcam's attempt to bring the performance of its high-end AV amps to a more affordable level by taking the unusual approach of copying the front-end circuitry, the pre-amp section and all the processing straight from the company's £4500 AVR850 and putting it … Dirac Live is a high end room correction system that not only corrects for proper frequency balance but it also manages to correct certain impulse response anomalies. What this product eschews in features, it more than makes up for performance. Prior to the AVR850, Dirac was only available in a handful of AV processors – so the addition of this to an "all-in-one" solution is, to us, an important feature. The AVR850 runs this system with ease. I connected all 7 of my satellites to the speaker binding posts using banana plugs. I have a satellite receiver/DVR, a Blu-ray player, a DVD player, a Roku and an AppleTV. The Arcam sound difference Using audiophile-grade components, the AVR550 delivers quality to match the power. It has an easy to follow, script-based set up routine that virtually anybody can successfully implement. The independent bench tests I conducted indicated that the unit was very conservatively rated and the distortion profiles are incredibly good for a surround receiver. The look of this receiver is one of industrialized elegance. Arcam's AVR850 is not cheap. Jaw dropping amplification paired with top-of-the-line room correction. When I would turn it off while listening to vinyl, the soundstage collapsed dramatically. The built-in amplification provides plenty of power for most any system. i know the Arcam has the better amps, but from what I've gathered the anthem isn't far behind, also for room correction, as you said dirac live isn't miles ahead from ARC, and coming from the avr600 i'm… Read more », I I recently purchased the 390 traded in for the 550 and now I have the 850 I have had the same speakers hooked up with all three receivers I have only had the 850 for two days I did notice much better bass response but compared to the 550 I don't know yet and I stress yet if it's a $3000 difference My main front speakers are Martin Logan areas I in the beginning I had Klipsch r 35 hooked up which actually I thought sounded better than the Martin Logan's Time will tell I have so many different… Read more ». The unit was set to stereo direct and the room correction was turned off. Arcam's new flagship A/V receiver, the AVR850, is about the most expensive receiver you can buy today: $6,000 here in the Land of the Free(-ish) (not counting a slightly more expensive, similarly spec'd model sourced by Arcam for AudioControl).

See also Titus on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
Titus, like his father, spent money in adding to the magnificence of Rome. The Flavian amphitheatre (later called the Colosseum) was completed and dedicated in his reign, with combats of gladiators, shows of wild beasts, and representations of some of the great Greek naval battles. He gave the city splendid baths, which surpassed those of Agrippa and of Nero, and supplied the mob with every kind of luxury.
During his reign, in 79, occurred the eruption of Vesuvius which destroyed Herculaneum and Pompeii. The emperor visited the scenes and contributed liberally to the relief of the distressed inhabitants. During his absence a tire raged for three days at Rome, in which the new temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, the library of Augustus, and other public buildings were burnt; then followed a pestilence, and Titus again assisted freely with his purse. Italy and the Roman world were peaceful during his reign. The only fighting was in Britain under Agricola, who in the year 80 carried the Roman arms as far as the Tay. Titus died on the 13th of September 81. The verdict of history is favourable to him, but the general feeling throughout the Roman world was that he had been fortunate in the briefness of his reign.
