R. O. Umucalılar M. Iskin Department of Physics, Koç University, Rumelifeneri Yolu, 34450 Sarıyer, Istanbul, Turkey
The competition between the length scales associated with the periodicity of a lattice potential and the cyclotron radius of a uniform magnetic field is known to have dramatic effects on the single-particle properties of a quantum particle, e.g., the fractal spectrum is known as the Hofstadter butterfly. Having this intricate competition in mind, we consider a two-component Fermi gas on a square optical lattice with opposite synthetic magnetic fields for the components, and study its effects on the many-body BCS-pairing phenomenon. By a careful addressing of the distinct superfluid transitions from the semi-metal, quantum spin-Hall insulator or normal phases, we explore the low-temperature phase diagrams of the model, displaying lobe structures that are reminiscent of the well-known Mott-insulator transitions of the Bose-Hubbard model.

Introduction.— The discoveries of integer and fractional quantum-Hall effects in 1980s brought a new breath in solid-state and condensed-matter physics, attracting a never-ending interdisciplinary attention since then QHE . For instance, some mathematical ideas from the topology turned out to be very successful in explaining the robustness of these effects, making the so-called topological insulators a very popular research theme in modern physics. These materials are intrinsically insulating in the bulk but have conducting edge/surface states that are robust against local perturbations TI review . While the earlier proposals require a broken T symmetry as can be realized under an external magnetic field, the quantum spin-Hall insulators (SHI) preserved it Kane ; QSH experiment in such a way that the currents carried by electrons with different spin states flow in opposite directions along the edges of the sample without dissipation.
In the mean time, the successful creation of atomic BECs in 1990s and the tunable BCS-BEC crossover in 2000s ignited researchers to transfer many of the model Hamiltonians developed in physics all across-the-board into the realm of ultra-cold atomic systems Cold atoms . For instance, the recent production of synthetic magnetic fields for neutral atoms Artificial was followed by the realization of the celebrated Harper-Hofstadter model Harper ; Hofstadter in the presence of an optical lattice Hofstadter experiment 1 ; Hofstadter experiment 2 ; ketterle13 ; ketterle15 ; goldman15 ; spielman15 ; greiner16 , the T-preserving schemes of which were also developed to realize the quantum spin-Hall Hamiltonians Hofstadter experiment 1 ; ketterle13 . Besides having an intriguing fractal spectrum, the generic Harper-Hofstadter model not only features the integer quantum-Hall effect Thouless but it also hosts Dirac-cone physics for certain magnetic fluxes. These cones are at the heart of certain phenomena in graphene-type materials with a honeycomb lattice, including the quantum spin-Hall effect with an additional gap-opening mechanism Kane 2 and the semi-metal (SM)-BCS superconductivity transition Paramekanti ; Sonin .

Critical interaction strength |Uc|/t is shown as a function of μ/t by a thick black curve separating V (particle vacuum), N (normal), SM (semi-metal), quantum SHI (spin-Hall insulator), and SF (superfluid) phases at kBT=10−4t. Total filling F of an SHI phase is shown in parentheses. Red dot at μ=0 shows the triple point at which N, SM and SF phases meet. Density of states D(ε) is displayed in arbitrary units by a thin red curve (ε and μ axes coincide). Horizontal dashed lines mark the band edges including ε=0.
The Hofstadter physics is enriched even more by the effects of interactions. For instance, while it gives rise to a complicated shape for the transition boundary between the superfluid (SF) and Mott-insulator phases in the context of repulsive Bose-Hubbard model BoseHubbard ; BosonicHH , it promotes a playground for a variety of inhomogeneous SF phases with vortex-lattice or stripe orders in the context of attractive Hubbard model Zhai ; Iskin ; umucalilar16 . Furthermore, the T-preserving Hofstadter-Hubbard models have also been investigated soon after its reazilations with cold atoms Hofstadter experiment 1 ; ketterle13 , offering a wealth of phase transitions. For instance, while the repulsive interactions may pair up the fractional quantum-Hall states to form fractional quantum spin-Hall states Ueda in a Bose gas, it may drive a phase transition from an SM to an antiferromagnetic insulator in a Fermi gas Hofstetter . In addition, the attractive interactions in a Fermi gas may drive phase transitions from an SM or an SHI to an SF phase Troyer ; Torma ; Nishida , motivating this work.
In this paper, we present a systematic analysis of the SF transition in a T-symmetric Hofstadter-Hubbard model, and explore the resultant phase diagrams for a wide-range of model parameters. Thanks to the T symmetry, it turns out that the SF phase is characterized by a spatially-uniform order parameter, and the distinct transitions from the SM, SHI, normal (N) and vacuum (V) phases to the homogenous SF phase may be identified with respect to the single-particle density of states of the multi-band energy spectrum. See Fig. 1 for a typical illustration. We pay special attention to the magnetic-flux dependence of the interaction threshold for the SM-SF triple point, and determine the hallmark attributes of the SF order parameter depending on the type of the transition, as discussed below.
Mean-field theory.— To describe the kinematics of a quantum particle in a tight-binding square lattice potential, we start with the following single-particle Hamiltonian, HB=−t∑⟨ij⟩σ(ei2πϕσijc†iσcjσ+h.c.), where t>0 is the hopping amplitude between nearest-neighbor sites ⟨ij⟩, i.e., c†iσ (ciσ) creates (annihilates) a fermion at site i≡(ix,iy) with pseudo-spin index σ≡{↑,↓}, and h.c. is the Hermitian conjugate. The perpendicular magnetic field is taken into account via minimal coupling, where the hopping particle acquires a spin-dependent phase, ϕσij=(sσ/ϕ0)∫rirjA⋅dr, with s↑=+1 and s↓=−1. Here, ϕ0 is the magnetic-flux quantum and A=(0,Bx) is the vector potential in the Landau gauge with B the magnitude of the effective magnetic field. For a given magnetic-flux quanta per unit cell α=Ba2/ϕ0, with a→1 the lattice constant, the particle gains an Aharonov-Bohm factor exp(i2πsσα) after traversing a loop around the unit cell. This is the so-called time-reversal-symmetric Hofstadter model Troyer ; Hofstetter as realized in recent cold-atom experiments Hofstadter experiment 1 ; ketterle13 . When α is a rational fraction p/q with p and q relatively-prime integers, the spectrum for each spin state consists of q subbands which split from the tight-binding s-band of the field-free case. Energy versus α diagram has a fractal structure and is usually called the Hofstadter butterfly Hofstadter .
Under the validity of this model, the non-interacting Fermi gas is described by H0=HB−μ∑iσniσ, where niσ=c†iσciσ is the number operator and μ is the common chemical potential for both spin states. Furthermore, having short-ranged attractive interactions in mind, we adopt a BCS-like mean-field approximation for pairing, and consider an on-site term, HI=−∑i(Δic†i↑c†i↓+h.c.)−∑i|Δi|2/U, where Δi=U⟨ci↑ci↓⟩ is the SF order parameter. Here, U≤0 and ⟨…⟩ denotes the thermal average. Next, we switch to the momentum-space representation, and define n=1,…,q band operators dknσ in terms of the Fourier-expansion coefficients of ciσ, i.e., ckβσ=∑ngnβσ(k)dknσ, where gnβσ(k) is the βth component of the nth eigenvector of the single-particle problem with energy εknσ. Since the magnetic field imposes a new translational symmetry and enlarges the unit cell by a factor of q in the x direction, the Brillouin zone is reduced to kx∈[−π/q,π/q) and ky∈[−π,π) Hofstadter ; Kohmoto , and we label inequivalent sites in the enlarged cell by β=0,…,q−1, where ix=sq+β with s locating the supercell. The total k-space Hamiltonian HMF=H0+HI can be written as
HMF = ∑nkσϵknσd†knσdknσ−MqU∑lβ|Δlβ|2
− ∑lβnn′k[Δlβgn∗β↑(kl+)gn′∗β↓(kl−)d†kl+n↑d†kl−n′↓+h.c.],
where ϵknσ=εknσ−μ, and the q×q order parameter set Δlβ=−(qU/M)∑nn′kgnβ↑(kl+)gn′β↓(kl−)⟨dkl−n′↓dkl+n↑⟩ determines Δi through Δi=∑lΔlβei(Qlxs+Qlyiy). Here, M is the total number of lattice sites and kl±=±k+Ql/2 with Ql=(Qlx,Qly) the center-of-mass momentum of Cooper pairs. As εknσ is q-fold degenerate in any given band for momenta k and k+Kl with Kl≡{(0,2πlp/q)} and l=0,…,q−1, we treat pairing with Ql≡Kl on equal footing Zhai .
By solving these self-consistency equations for a wide range of parameters, we confirm that the the thermodynamic potential is minimized by the solution Δlβ=Δδl0 with δij the Kronecker-delta, in such a way that a single order parameter Δ=−(U/M)∑nk⟨dkn↓d−kn↑⟩ characterizes the resultant homogenous SF phase BdG . This is unlike the usual Hofstadter-Hubbard model with a broken T symmetry, where inhomogenous SF phases require a non-trivial set of q×q parameters, e.g., a vortex-lattice solution Zhai ; umucalilar16 . The large |U|/t limit is particularly illuminating beyond which the entire Fermi gas consists of many-body Cooper pairs that eventually form two-body bound states, i.e., bosonic molecules, experiencing no net magnetic field. Thus, thanks to the T symmetry of the present model, the order parameter equation simplifies to
1U=−1M∑nk12Ekntanh(Ekn2kBT), (2)
where Ekn=√ϵ2kn+Δ2 is the quasiparticle energy in a given band n as the dispersion εkn is equal for both spin states, Δ is taken as a real parameter without loosing generality, kB is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature. Here, μ is determined by the total number of particles N=∑iσ⟨niσ⟩, leading to the number equation
F=1qM∑nk[1−ϵknEkntanh(Ekn2kBT)], (3)
where 0≤F=N/M≤2 is the total particle filling. While we recover the familiar expressions Δ=(|U|/2−4t2/|U|)√F(2−F) and μ=−(|U|/2−8t2/|U|)(1−F) for the bosonic molecules in the strong-coupling limit when Δ≫t or equivalently |U|≫t, the weak-coupling limit turns out to be quite rich showing a variety of distinct phases and transitions in between. Next, we construct typical phase diagrams for μ≤0, as the solutions are mirror-symmetric around μ=0 due to the particle-hole symmetry of the parent Hamiltonian.
Low-temperature phase diagrams.— The critical interaction threshold |Uc| above which the system develops SF correlations with Δ≠0 can be obtained by setting Δ→0 in Eqs. (2) and (3). For instance, our low-T phase diagrams that are shown in Figs. 1 and 2 reveal four distinct SF transitions: (i) an SM-SF transition when μ=0 or F=1 for even q, (ii) an SHI-SF transition when μ lies within a band gap or F=2s/q with s≤q an integer, (iii) an N-SF transition when μ lies within a band or F≠2s/q, and (iv) a V-SF transition when μ lies below the lowest available band or F→0. We note that even though our less-accurate mean-field framework should be considered as a qualitative description of the system at the best-case scenario, its semi-analytic nature not only helps us build the intuition behind these competing phases but also serves as an ultimate benchmark for fully-numerical QMC simulations Troyer .
Figure 2: (Color Online) Similar to Fig. 1 but for odd-q denominators.
First of all, the SM-SF transition at F=1 (i.e., half-filling) for even-q denominators is caused by the presence of q linearly-dispersing Dirac cones in the magnetic Brillouin Zone. It turns out that even though Δ→0 at the transition boundary, the Dirac cones guarantee a small energy window of k-space region around ε=0 with Δ>|ε|, no matter how small the energy window is. This leads to a finite triple point Uc≠0 as shown in Fig. 1. The T=0 limit of Uc is determined by M/Uc=−∑nk1/(2|εkn|), near which Δ0=(Uc−U)/(CU2c) increases linearly with |U|, where D(ε)=C|ε| is the low-energy density of states near the cones. At T=0, we find |Uc|/t≈3.111 and 1.871 for q=2 and 4, respectively, and the complicated dependence of Uc on q is closely related to the band width of the central bands as shown in Fig. 3 for q up to 100. Away from half filling, when the filling fraction is F=2s/q with s≤q an integer, there are s fully-occupied bands and the system is an SHI. At T=0, the SHI-SF transition boundary is determined by M/Uc=−∑nk1/(2|ϵkn|), near which Δ0=√(Uc−U)/(C0U2c) increases as a square-root with |U|, where MC0=∑nk1/(4|ϵkn|3) is a constant for a given q. On the other hand, since F≠2s/q corresponds to an N phase with a partially-occupied band, we find that Uc→0 as T→0 supmat , near which Δ0=2|μ|exp{1/[D(μ)U]−1} increases exponentially with |U| for even-q values close to the half filling when Δ0≪|μ|≈0. The BCS-like D(ε) dependence is clearly seen in Figs. 1 and 2, where, while T≠0 causes Uc≠0 in general, its magnitude is inversely related to D(ε). Note that, since the total band width is constrained by 8t in the q→∞ limit, increasing q flattens the band widths of each of the q bands, leading to a singular D(ε) with discrete structure. As the N regions shrink and become hardly visible even at T≠0, our large-q phase diagrams supmat are reminiscent of the Mott-insulator transitions of the SF Bose gas on a lattice Cold atoms ; Fisher89 .
Figure 3: (Color Online) SM-SF transition thresholds at kBT=10−4t for all unique α=p/q≤1/2 ratios with even-q denominators up to 100. (a) While the red points are our self-consistent solutions, the vertical blue lines correspond to (2W/t)0.44 where W is the total bandwidth of the 2-central bands for a given α. In (b) the same data is grouped according to the numerator p, where the connecting lines are drawn as a guide, showing the oscillatory dependence.
This low-T analysis clearly show that, depending on whether Δ0 increases as a linear, square-root or exponential function of |U|, one can distinctly characterize the corresponding type of the SF transition. For instance, we illustrate Δ for all 3 types on the right axis of Fig. 4, where we set α=1/4 and kBT=10−4t. To further support this finding, we also show the ratio kBTc/Δ on the left axis of the same figure, where Tc is the corresponding SF transition temperature. Setting Δ=0 and μ=0 in Eq. (2), and assuming Tc is small, we find kBTc=(Uc−U)/(2ln2CU2c) as U→Uc in the weak-coupling limit near the T=0 SM-SF transition boundary. This suggests kBTc/Δ0=1/(2ln2)≈0.721 in the U→Uc limit, which is in perfect agreement with Fig. 4(a). Similarly, setting Δ=0 and μ≈0 in Eq. (2), and assuming kBTc≪|μ|, we find kBTc=(2|μ|/π)exp{1/[D(μ)U]+γ−1} for even-q values as U→0 in the weak-coupling limit near the N-SF transition boundary, where γ≈0.577 is the Euler's constant. This suggests kBTc/Δ0=eγ/π≈0.567 in the U→Uc=0 limit, which is again in perfect agreement with Fig. 4(b). Lastly, setting Δ=0 in Eq. (2), and assuming μ is in the middle of one of the band gaps and kBTc≪A is small, we find kBTc∼−A/{2ln[Aq(Uc−U)/(4U2c)]} as U→Uc in the weak-coupling limit near the T=0 SHI-SF transition boundary, where A is approximately the corresponding band gap between the highest-occupied and lowest-unoccupied band. This suggests kBTc/Δ0→∞ in the U→Uc limit, i.e., a logarithmic divergence of the form limx→01/|√xlnx|, which is also in perfect agreement with Fig. 4(c). In the strong-coupling limit when |U|≫t, it is well-known that the mean-field Tc is solely related to the formation of pairs and it has nothing to do with the actual SF transition. Setting Δ=0 in Eq. (2), and assuming kBTc≫|μ| leads to kBTc=|U|/4 which is the case around μ≈0 (or half filling F≈1), while assuming kBTc≪|μ| leads to kBTc=−|μ|/lnF and |μ|≈|U|/2, which is the case for low filling F≪1. Therefore, in the |U|≫t limit, while all 3 of our numerical results approach kBTc/Δ0→0.5 in Fig. 4, we expect a diverging kBTc/Δ0≃−1/(√2FlnF) ratio as F→0. It is notable that this logarithmic divergence is quite similar in structure to that of the weak-coupling one near the SHI-SF transition discussed just above.
Figure 4: (Left) Ratios of the critical temperature kBTc and Δ at kBT=10−4t for α=1/4. (Right) Δ/t as dash-dotted red lines. Vertical dashed lines correspond to the |Uc|/t thresholds for the (a) SM-SF, (b) N-SF, and (c) SHI-SF transitions discussed in the text.
Furthermore, in the weak-coupling limit near the SF transition boundary, using Δ≪kBTc near Tc, we find Δ=√8ln2kBTc√1−T/Tc≈1.698Δ0√1−T/Tc for even-q values when μ=0 is at half filling, Δ=√4/0.4265kBTc√1−T/Tc≈1.736Δ0√1−T/Tc for even-q values when μ≈0 is in the band, and Δ={[1/(MC0kBTc)]∑nke−|ϵkn|/(kBTc)}1/2√1−T/Tc≈√A/(2kBTc)Δ0√1−T/Tc when μ is in the band gap with A≫kBTc. Therefore, the T-dependences of Δ are all alike near Tc up to a prefactor.
Conclusions.— In summary, we used the T-symmetric Hofstadter-Hubbard model on a square optical lattice in order to describe and study the BCS-pairing correlations of a two-component Fermi gas that is experiencing opposite synthetic magnetic fields for its components. We found rich phase diagrams involving distinct SF transitions from the SM, quantum SHI or N phases, the lobe structures of which are reminiscent of the Mott-insulator transitions of the SF Bose gas on a lattice Cold atoms ; Fisher89 . Given the ongoing cold-atom experiments in simulating such models Hofstadter experiment 1 ; ketterle13 , there is no doubt that even though our mean-field description may only capture qualitative physics of the model Hamiltonian, it not only offers a less-accurate but analytically-tractable analysis in helping us shape the intuition behind the competing phases but it also paves the way as an ultimate benchmark for more-accurate yet fully-numerical QMC simulations Troyer .

Q: How to get current orientation of device programmatically? I want to know the device orientation, I used
 UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait([UIDevice currentDevice].orientation

but this only works when I change the orientation otherwise it does not give anything (TRUE/FALSE).So how can I get current device orientation even when orientation is not changed.
Thanks in advance!

A: To get orientation
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

and the possible orientations are
typedef enum {
  UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait           = UIDeviceOrientationPortrait,
  UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown = UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown,
  UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft      = UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft,
  UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight     = UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight
} UIInterfaceOrientation;

A: UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

Gives an Implicit Enumeration Warning.
Use this instead:
UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

A: Sorry if you've already done this, but have you looked into the beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications method, which enables notification generation for the device?
Also, are you looking for the device orientation or the interface orientation? If you're looking for a simpel Portrait vs Landscape orientation info, you should look into the interfaceOrientation of the view controller.
Hope this helps!

If they hear you, they hunt you.
John Krasinski (The Office) directs, co-writes and stars alongside Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow) in this horror in which a family must stay silent to hide from deadly creatures that hunt by sound.
Set in the very near future, a rural American family has adapted to a world now inhabited by a plague of vicious killing machines that have brought down modern civilisation. Living their lives in near silence to escape detection by the monsters' super-hearing, parents and children struggle with domestic life as well as the need to remain human in the face of unstoppable creatures trying to snuff out their existence.

Sound has always been an essential element of cinematic horror: a buzzing chainsaw; a creaky door; a humming, Edwardian child; what is heard is always more terrifying that what is seen, and, done right, what is not heard is scariest of all. A Quiet Place takes this to an extreme, setting itself in a world where survival is only possible in complete and utter silence.
Taking place in a not so distant future in which the world has been overrun by large, mysterious spider-like creatures that hunt via their excellent hearing, A Quiet Place follows a family of four as they attempt to live their lives without making a sound, a task made considerably more difficult by their soon-to-be-born third child.
Directed by and starring The Office alum John Krasinski alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt, it is a subtle, simple story that wisely allows the concept to do most of the talking. With almost wordless performances, sound is used carefully, strategically and sometimes eschewed altogether for scenes from the perspective of the couple's deaf teenage daughter (a part played with admirable intensity by deaf actress Millicent Simmonds, who taught the cast the sign language used throughout).
Coupled with a patient, lingering camera, some nicely restrained CGI, and naturalistic performances, the result is almost unbearable suspense whereby even scenes of total banality are permeated with creeping dread as we wait for the inevitable moments in which the silence is broken.
Like 2017's much-lauded It Comes at Night, A Quiet Place seeks to examine the intimate domestic disasters caused by an apocalyptic global event. Unlike the former, however, it is with a kind of optimistic humanism that Krasinski approaches the survivalist narrative, something which, thankfully, saves it from becoming yet another 'people are the real monsters' flick. As a group of people struggling to repress something so instinctive and intuitive in times of distress, Krasinski, Blunt, and co. are most tested by finding ways to express their love for one another - a sentiment that pairs nicely with the gruesome violence constantly looming.
Of course it's not perfect and, for all the care and subtlety put into the technical aspects of the film, Krasinski has a tendency to lay it on a little thick plot-wise: a father-daughter rift, a sticky-uppy floorboard nail, a big white board with maybe a few too many clues written on it, are all things that we could have done without.
As a cinematic experience A Quiet Place is more a physical than an intellectual one and, as is often the case with such things, once the tension wears off it is easy to nit-pick. Yet, as a simple, modern horror, A Quiet Place demonstrates a deft and canny ability to turn the minutiae of everyday monotony into the stuff of nightmares.
Dread Central (USA)
One of the most inventive, emotional, and terrifying films I've seen ...
Even moviegoers who don't accept the metaphor are going to have the pants scared off them.
Variety (USA)
Sometimes, getting on the clever/whatever wavelength of a horror film and just rolling with can be a part of the fun. "A Quiet Place" is that kind of movie.
Though it's Krasinski's third time in the director's chair, it's his first home run thanks, in no small part, to the film's emphasis on family and Krasinski's choice of leading lady-his wife and mother of his two children, Emily Blunt.
Empire (UK)
A bravura monster movie which just doesn't let up, ratcheting tension with nary a word uttered on screen.
Keeping Up with NZ
Cloverfield meets The Walking Dead and makes for a very enjoyable tiptoeing scare fest at the cinema.

Rallies a cry for intimate originality in film which has long been muted by bloated blockbusters and tiresome, unfulfilling sequels.

A Quiet Place Review
I enjoyed 'a quiet place'. I thought it was scary, terrifying, disgusting and awesome.
Keane Ong
It will leave you inaudibly gasping and crying at the edge of your seat.
Lucy Power
Interesting concept - could have done more
Overall I enjoyed A Quiet Place. I thought the concept was unique for a feature-length movie, and it was well-acted and executed. The lack of sounds was used to great effect. However, the characters were quite one-dimensional and the attempts at more in-depth relationships felt forced and superficial. I also didn't find it scary - some tense moments to be sure, but it felt more like watching the scene in Jurassic Park when the velociraptors are on the loose!
Barny
Shush please.
"Ugh why did I get popcorn when I really should have got some chips?!" these were the first words out of the mouth-breather to his bro squad who had all just sat down behind me during the previews. After another minute of their meathead banter I decided it would be less ugly if I just got up and found another seat down the back (I usually end up switching seats 3 times before a film starts)
A Quite Place doesn't mess around. In the opening scene the table is set: scary monsters have taken over the world and are killing everyone, bummer. They may be blind but hunt aided by their scary ear thingys. So if you talk too loud, use cellphones or chew popcorn insistently, I will shush you - or get up and change seats and...um, where was I?
For a movie that's prominently dialogue free - the characters communicate with sign language - it is incredibly engaging as we follow the survival of a small family with another on the way. The soundproof nursery and method for keeping baby quite during the night is ingenious and will no doubt lead to copy-cat mishaps. Visually, the film is a knockout and thick with atmosphere and while I often find jump scares to be a cheap trick the inevitable moments that come in a film that's mostly quite, were logical, clever and got me reeeal good a couple of times.
Let's talk about the sound design. It was flippin' awesome, I never thought the noise of someone being ripped apart off screen could be so harrowing.
Howwwwwever A Quite Place didn't spook me the way The Witch or It Follows did, The suspense isn't really scary, instead we're treated to grim foreboding and escalating squirmy dread as the characters who for the most part have good heads on their shoulders (while they do) end up knocking over loud objects and stubbing toes.
I was into it though, and so was everyone else. I forgot about shushing anyone as the whole theatre broke into moments of collective "Oh Nose!" and frightened whispering time and time again.
Which made it all good fun. And that's what a horror movie should be.
nloumachi
Effective horror at its best.
A beautifully directed and filmed, well-written film uplifted by gripping performances from its cast. If it had focused on the emotional aspect of its plot slightly more it'd be perfect. But it's a thought-provoking film none the less.
Akane Yamagata
intense and interesting
Very curious start, good storyline and overall very entertaining.
Michiyuki13
Worth a watch
I mostly enjoyed this movie. It suffers from the same problem as a lot of modern cgi titles, mainly - 'overexposure/oversharing'. You get to see the monsters early on, and it kills the mood. Ideally, it is great when movies like this keep the mystery of what the creatures look like until the very end. Another issue is cgi in itself. The lack of practical effects is palpable.
The plot, overall, is moderately good. Some character decisions are quite illogical, and there is a couple of plot holes.
As a massive fan of the horror genre, I would still recommend to give this movie a go.

BEWARE SPOILERS AHEAD! THIS REVIEW IS BY SPOILER MCSPOILFACE.
I really wanted to love this movie. Like, REALLY wanted to love it. I'd amped myself up for it & had had my belief it was going to be great confirmed by people who had seen it already.
Sigh. The movie's not bad, it's a solid scarer. But it's not great & sadly had several gaping holes that left me underwhelmed. Again, this review is spoilery AF so don't read on if you're fussed about that.
I'm not going to go over the basic set up much – insectoid creatures arrive on earth, they hunt by sound, gotta be quiet else they'll get ya! The film starts on Day 89 of the… er… invasion I guess, with a family of five out scavenging for supplies. Little Jimmy, aged 4, doesn't get the memo about being quiet & blasts off a very loud toy spaceship. Pa does his best to get to him but them insect aliens is fast & little Jimmy is quickly snatched up & (presumably) devoured. And there is my first issue with the film. A small child getting eaten should have had a big emotional hit but I felt… nothing. Because I didn't know him. I didn't know the family, I didn't know what they'd been through to get to this point, there was not even a small amount of lead in to build a connection to this family. Backstory people, it matters.
Skip forward to day 470-odd. Pa does his best to teach the kids how to survive… quietly, while Ma contemplates how she is going to squeeze out a sprog… quietly. Down in the basement Pa is trying to fix his daughter's cochlear implant & also figure out how to kill the beasties. There is a whiteboard with several notes – BLIND, ARMOUR, WHAT IS THEIR WEAKNESS?? And this is where the holes just open up for me.
1.	In the opening scene we glimpse a newspaper headline announcing, 'IT'S SOUND!!!'. Aha! We've discovered how they're hunting us! Presumably at this point humanity still had the structure in place to write, print & deliver a newspaper. And yet, having come to the conclusion that a creature that relies on sound to hunt, is sensitive to even the most subtle sound, we haven't figured out that they could be hurt, could be incapacitated by too much sound? Or if we have figured that out, that there is not enough infrastructure around to actually do something with that information? (Remember, we can still write, print & deliver a newspaper). I'm not a smart man Jenny, but I know that it hurts when I turn my headphones up too loud. It seems unlikely no clever-Richard came up with the idea that we could go all Spinal Tap on them? Turn a few amps up to 11, sort out a little feedback & see how they like that?
2.	The bugs are armoured, this is true. It's hinted at that this makes them near indestructible. And yet Ma manages to bring one down no problem with a shotgun blast to the face. A shotgun at close range is pretty effective, sure. Know what else is effective – big nasty machine guns. If a shotgun can bring one down I'm pretty sure a heavy machine gun is going to be able to manage the job. Not sure if everyone is aware but the worlds military establishments have lots of guns. Yes guns are noisy but this leads into...
3.	The creatures are blind. Along with their sensitivity to sound that seems like a big weakness to me. If they're blind they should be pretty easy to entice into a trap. Make a big noise, draw them into an area surrounded by heavily armed dudes and blammo. Sure the guns will attract more of them but there was no indication in the film that the numbers of these things were insurmountable. Humanity wasn't overrun, just outclassed. We could even avoid having people there at all. There is no indication that these bad-boys can fly & we have some fairly formidable attack helicopters, not to mention, I dunno, drones. We could be taking them out from the air fairly easily.
Sigh again. I know I've put too much thought into this. I know it doesn't matter that much. It's just a shame these holes spoiled the film for me because there is a lot to like. The premise is great & the monsters themselves look awesome. There are a good number of jump-scares & even better, the tension is ratcheted up nicely throughout the film. It just feels like a bit of polishing could have made this film the great piece of entertainment I was hoping for.
NZalien
A smart and suspenseful silent hit.
I don't usually watch horror movies because most of today's horror movies are just a gore fest designed to make you feel sick. This is not one of those movies. This is a very intelligent movie that keeps your attention through an interesting set up and well built atmosphere. So even if you are not a fan of scary movies this should stay on your radar.
As shown on the trailers the premise is that humanity has been decimated by a species that hunt using sound. Be quiet, and they won't find you. Make a loud noise and you better say your prayers, quickly, because they will quickly come for you. This means that for most of the movie the characters are trying to be quiet and communicate with sign language (subtitles provided). It's the classic trick to build suspence in a movie, the designated victims trying to not make a sound, but here it is taken to another level. The whole theater will be quiet for most of the movie as the audience is gripped by the atmosphere on screen. (In fact, I suggest you turn those phones off, because even a phone on vibrate will be too loud)
There is not really any gore, but there are jolts and there is a lot of suspence. You won't feel like covering your eyes, instead you will have to remember to breathe at times.
In retrospect, the plot is thin, but it doesn't matter. What counts is that the movie can keep your attention for its full duration.
This is helped by a very smart script and by characters that are well acted and behave believably. The script makes you feel for these characters and you will like them, root for them, and be afraid with them. The actors, both kids and adults, do a great job with the material. Given the very sparse dialogue they need to portray their emotions with their actions and expressions, and they do so very well.
There are no crazy action sequences, the action that is on the screen is believable and therefore more suspenceful for it.
The cinematography is practical and to the point. The whole movie seems concise and focused, and that focus is to grab your attention and not let go.


EXCLUSIVE: Animal activists sent emails to live export workers appealing for them to leak footage of cruelty on ships with promises of lucrative payments which would be the equivalent of three months' wages.
So-called whistleblowers even offered to cut off ventilation and switch off the exhaust fan to distress sheep on voyages in order to receive the payments that were on offer from activist organisation, Animals Australia, according to emails obtained by The Daily Telegraph.
The activist organisation strongly discouraged them from doing so.
Whistleblower Faisal Ullah on the 60 Minutes video.
There are now allegations from other ship workers that their colleagues are being motivated to be cruel to animals in order to create footage they can sell to activists.
● Animals Australia sent emails to ship workers discussing payments of up to $1000 for help obtaining footage.
Email exchange with an unnamed ship worker.
A former deck cadet, Mr Ullah was named by animal rights organisation PETA as their "person of the year" for leaking footage from the live export ship Awassi Express to Animals Australia.
The footage and an interview with Mr Ullah were the basis of a 60 Minutes report on April 8 last year that showed shocking scenes aboard the ship as sheep suffered and died from apparent heat stress in cramped conditions during multiple voyages to the Middle East.
Animals Australia has previously stated it had not paid for the footage aired by 60 minutes, but did not deny it when presented with details on the transactions by The Daily Telegraph.
Agriculture Minister David Littleproud launched an investigation into the Emanuel Exports-owned ship and suspended its licence.
The Agriculture Department found that 2400 sheep died from heat stress during a shipment of 64,000 animals from Fremantle to the Middle East in August 2017.
Animals Australia have been using the footage and other images and videos it has obtained from ships to lobby for a ban on the live export industry.
Bank statements obtained by The Daily Telegraph show Mr Ullah received more than $38,000 in payments between June 2017 and June 2018 from Australian bank accounts.
The statements show Mr Ullah received about $30,000 from Australian bank accounts into an account with the Sydney branch of the India-based Bank of Baroda during that same period.
The largest single payment was a $7500 transfer from an ANZ bank account in January, 2018.
Mr Ullah's salary on the Awassi Express for his role as deck cadet had been just $US350 per month.
Animals Australia has previously denied making any payments.
The organisation yesterday did not answer questions from The Daily Telegraph. The Daily Telegraph does not suggest Animals Australia facilitated the payments to Mr Ullah.
Mr Ullah stopped working on the vessel on February 2, 2018 and Pakistani shipping records show he has not signed on to another vessel since.
He did not respond to calls from The Daily Telegraph.
One of Mr Ullah's former crew mates told The Daily Telegraph Mr Ullah had approached him to film footage on the Awassi Express to sell to animal activists in 2016.
In a statutory declaration provided to The Daily Telegraph, the man said Mr Ullah asked him to work with him to make money by filming videos for Australian animal rights activists.
The man said Mr Ullah gave him a phone and 50,000 Pakistani rupees (about $500) in advance to make videos on the ship.
In a Facebook message Mr Ullah sent to the man on July 30, 2016 he discusses the payments they could get for the footage.
"Well if we can accomplish this task then we will get $20,000," Mr Ullah wrote in the post, according to the statutory declaration.
"This is conditional that those people will use those videos."
In emails sent to a different ship worker on May 2018, a senior Animals Australia employee said they would provide "another $1000" donation to a school the man was starting if they could find someone willing to assist "on any of the vessels doing Middle East runs".
On June 4, 2018 the employee sent a follow up email with "key instructions" for filming.
"Key things we are seeking to have filmed in order of priority: 1. Heat stress - this is sheep with their mouths open panting as per this video. 2. Piles of dead sheep the larger the better - but even a pile of three is worth filming," she wrote.
On January 4, the same worker sent an email to the same employee asking whether another worker should switch off the exhaust which ensures the sheep have oxygen to create footage where "the sheeps (sic)/cattle) will be in more distress. (Just to capture videos)".
The Animals Australia employee warned him that "under no circumstance must he do this".
"This would equate to deceitful and fraudulent behaviour," the Animals Australia employee wrote.
In a response to questions from The Daily Telegraph the Animals Australia employee said: "Indisputable evidence of animal abuse obtained by whistleblower, Mr Fazal Ullah, was corroborated by other workers from the Awassi Express who were similarly concerned about the suffering of animals on the vessel.
"The overwhelming evidence of suffering across five voyages, confirmed in End of Voyage Vet Reports, was accepted by industry associations and Government regulators.
"Mr Ullah was a brave whistleblower who came forward because of his genuine concerns about the suffering of animals in this disgraceful trade".
The live export whistleblower lauded as a hero after he leaked video showing sheep in horrific conditions has previously been accused of abusing animals himself.
According to a performance appraisal conducted by the Awassi Express chief officer in 2015, Fazal Ullah was "not friendly" towards livestock while on voyage from Australia to Malaysia.
Mr Ullah in his interview with 60 Minutes.
"It was observed in general his attitude towards livestocks was not friendly during a voyage from Darwin, Australia to Port Kalang, Malaysia, he was noticed beating cattle with a stick by a (sic) Australian stockman," the review, obtained by The Daily Telegraph, says.
"This incident was reported and verbal warning given. He was kept under close monitoring.
"On several occasions during the period of the report, Fazal Ullah was found missing from his workplace during the hours of feeding and watering of cargo.
"His attitude was not friendly towards livestock as one time he was found hitting the cattle …"
A crackdown on woeful live exporters is set to be delayed until after the federal election as the Coalition tries to avoid a public battle over banning the live sheep trade.
Labor is increasingly confident of securing support to amend the Morrison government's live export penalties scheme to outlaw the summer trade if it comes to a vote in parliament with support of crossbenchers, including Kerryn Phelps and Liberal defector Julia Banks.
Crossbench MP Rebekha Sharkie threw a warning shot at the government in the final sitting week of last year when she attempted to force the issue and revealed five of seven crossbenchers would support the move.
If it failed to win the move for a ban Labor has said it would agree to support the government legislation as it is.
But the government is unlikely to take the risk as it would threaten to reopen an internal spat after some Liberal MPs have flagged their support for a ban.
It comes despite the live export industry announcing its own three-month ban on the sheep trade to the Middle East during the northern summer in December.
The release of the horrifying 60 Minutes footage, which showed sheep dying while en route to the Middle East, prompted Agriculture Minister David Littleproud to announce a series of new measures to prevent a repeat without damaging the $233 million a year industry at the same time.
But he has ruled out a ban on live exports.
The scheme, which has stalled in parliament, includes a push for jail for people who engage in animal abuse.

What should I take for the pain?
Everyone has them, often nearby, in a purse, medicine cabinet or drawer. We reach for them when we have a pounding headache, an aching joint or muscle pain. But, few people understand the risks.
Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers are medicines that can help relieve pain or lower a fever. OTC means you can buy them at a store without a prescription from your doctor. They are helpful in treating many types of pain, including earaches, back pain and pain after surgery. They can also treat pain from the flu or a sore throat. Some can help with swelling or inflammation.
Tylenol® and generic is for mild to moderate pain, including headaches and osteoarthritis. It does not reduce inflammation the way other pain medicines do. But, it has fewer side effects and is gentler on the stomach. This makes it safer for long-term use and for children when taken at an appropriate dosage.
Aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen are also for mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, migraines and muscle aches. Take the lowest dose for the shortest period of time indicated on the label and not for longer than 10 days for pain without talking to your doctor. That's because NSAIDS can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding, especially when used in high doses. It an also elevate cardiovascular risk, especially for people with cardiovascular disease.
Safe for children when taken at an appropriate dosage.
Some products contain both acetaminophen and aspirin (for example: Excedrin®). These products may contain caffeine, as well. They are good for treating headaches.
Are already taking another product containing acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen can cause liver damage in some cases. This usually happens if you take too much, or if you take it while drinking alcohol.
Children and teenagers younger than 18 years of age should not take aspirin. It increases the risk of Reye's Syndrome, a serious illness that can lead to death.
NSAIDs may cause upset stomach, so it is recommended to take with food. They can also cause increased bruising or risk of bleeding in the stomach. When taken for a long time, they may cause kidney damage. NSAIDs can interact with blood pressure medicines. If you take one of these medicines and an NSAID, your medicine may not work as well as it should.
How do I safely take OTC pain relievers?
Take only the amount recommended on the medicine's label. Don't assume that more medicine will work better or quicker. Taking more than the recommended amount can be dangerous.
If you are taking a prescription medicine, ask your doctor if it's OK to also take an OTC pain reliever.
Avoid using more than one OTC pain reliever at a time unless your doctor says it's OK. They may have similar active ingredients.
Before taking other OTC medicines with your pain reliever, check the label for active ingredients. Many OTC medicines for cold symptoms, allergies and sleep aids may contain acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Always check to be sure you're not doubling your dose.
If you have any questions about how much medicine to take, call your personal doctor or pharmacist.
What kind of OTC pain reliever is the best one to treat my pain or my child's pain?
What is the maximum amount I should take a day?
How long should I take the OTC pain reliever?
My pain is not going away. Could I need something stronger?
If you need help understanding dosage or instructions for your OTC or prescription pain relievers, call BeWell 24/7. Health professionals are available to help you, around the clock. This free service is exclusive to Wellmark members.
OTC pain relievers can be taken without a prescription. In many situations, they are all you need for pain. However, for severe, acute pain after surgery or from injury, your doctor may prescribe opioids. If you take opioids for pain, you should understand their potential for dependence and addiction. Opioids act on your brain in powerful and potentially dangerous ways. Opioid abuse is now considered one of America's foremost health crises, taking lives and negatively impacting communities. Opioid abuse is a leading cause of shortened life expectancy in the United States.
Every day, 91 people in the United States die from prescription opioid overdose and many more become addicted.
Approximately 37 percent of overdose deaths involved a prescription opioid, a number essentially unchanged from 2012.
More Americans die every year from drug overdoses than they do in motor vehicle crashes, and the majority of those overdoses involve prescription medications.
53 percent received opioids from a friend or relative for free. 15 percent bought or took them from a relative. These stats are among persons aged 12 or older who used prescription pain relievers recreationally in the past year.
215 million prescriptions for opioid pain medications were written by health care providers in 2016 — enough for every American adult to have one bottle of pills.
Welllmark's opioid medication management program emphasizes the lowest possible dose of opioids for the shortest possible amount of time. The physician helps decide whether the benefits outweigh the risk of abuse, addiction or dependence. For patients filling an opioid prescription for the first time, be sure to have a conversation with your pharmacist and follow all instructions when using your prescription.
The program is intended to ensure smaller quantities of opioids are dispensed for short-term pain needs. It is not designed to impact members with chronic pain or those undergoing care for serious illnesses.

You're prescribed an opioid. Now what?

The Archbishop of Canterbury at the General Synod in London this week. Ben Ryan, the Church's home affairs advisor for the Mission, said: 'The Church should never apologise for being at the forefront of supporting some of the world's most vulnerable' Credit: Stefan Rousseau/PA Wire
The Church of England should "never apologise" for supporting asylum seekers, an official has said, amid concerns over its role in helping applicants to "game the system".
Ben Ryan, the Church's home affairs adviser for the Mission, whose role includes interests in migration, family policy and criminal justice, issued a defiant rebuttal of claims that some asylum seekers's conversions to Christianity were inauthentic.
He said: "While undoubtedly there are those who believe that seeking membership of the Church will fast-track their asylum claim, there is no evidence this practice is commonly accepted by either the Church or the Home Office - or even that this practice is remotely widespread."
In a thread on Twitter, he stressed that many were genuine. "There are many genuine Christian converts from Iran and elsewhere and lazy reporting risks jeopardising the extent to which their cases are taken seriously," he said.
Sad to see these headlines in the Telegraph and elsewhere. Several key things should be noted from the perspective of Christians working in the area: 1. The Church isn't responsible for assessing asylum claims or security implications. That is for the Home Office 1. https://t.co/sMrIUXiVww
— Ben Ryan (@BenedictWRyan) November 16, 2021
"The Home Office has a lamentable record on religious literacy and assessing such claims.
"The Church should never apologise for being at the forefront of supporting some of the world's most vulnerable.
"It is not a coincidence that many refugees look to the Church for support. Churches are essential in the work of supporting refugees and asylum seekers."
Religion often used in asylum appeal hearings
The Church of England is facing questions over its role in converting hundreds of asylum seekers, including the Liverpool suicide bomber, to Christianity in an attempt to help them avoid deportation.
Emad al-Swealmeen, second right, was confirmed as a Christian by the Rt Rev Cyril Ashton, second left, at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in March 2017
Meanwhile, a trawl of previous appeal hearings reveals the extent to which asylum seekers use religion and other tactics as a means of asking for the right to remain in the UK.
In a 2020 ruling, a 23-year-old Iranian man who arrived in the UK in 2014 claimed asylum because he "faced the death penalty" after being filmed on CCTV urinating on a mosque after drinking alcohol.
Then just 15, he said he went to a party before tending his pigeons on a roof near the mosque, before losing control of his bladder.
The judge wrote: "I do not accept that it would be possible for the appellant to urinate for such a distance, and with such accuracy so as to hit the door to the mosque, three to four meters away, from three stories up."
However, the man was allowed to stay because he had now converted from Islam to Christianity, after attending the Alpha course at a Belfast church.
Another successful appeal that year saw another man, again granted anonymity, claim his conversion would have meant he would have been an "apostate" if returned to Iran.
The ruling hinged on the evidence of a clergyman from the Iranian Christian Fellowship, who insisted the man was a "committed" convert to Christianity after attending an Alpha course.
The asylum seeker "publicised" his new faith on Facebook, something the London tribunal heard had been spotted by the Iranian authorities and led to his father's arrest.
In a Bradford case from 2019, an Iranian man, named only as Saman H, had his appeal against being barred from the UK thrown out because his apparent conversion to Christianity coincided with him being jailed for producing cannabis.
A pastor from an unnamed Doncaster church told the hearing that although he was aware some asylum seekers would "seek to pull the wool over my eyes", the man was baptised after attending the Alpha course.
The priest said he was "gutted" when he learned of the man's conviction, adding he wished he had "approached the church for help".
The judge believed the Iranian man was a "practised liar … willing to deceive" the clergyman, adding how the procedures adopted by the Doncaster church before granting a baptism "are plainly fallible".

Annan fires staffer over oil-for-food
Stephanides says he acted to help the U.N.
From Liz Neisloss and Phil Hirschkorn
• U.N. report faults Annan
• U.N. whistle-blower testifies
• U.N. staffers suspended
Paul Volcker
UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has fired staffer Joseph Stephanides for his role in the oil-for-food scandal, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric announced Wednesday.
Stephanides immediately vowed to appeal.
"Under no circumstances was I motivated by personal gain," Stephanides told CNN.
"I saved money for the organization," he said of the United Nations.
The 59-year-old longtime Security Council staffer from Cyprus was suspended in February. Stephanides was informed of his firing Tuesday, Dujarric said.
An interim report by a U.N.-appointed investigative committee accused Stephanides of improperly helping British firm Lloyds Register win the contract to inspect humanitarian goods shipped to Iraq.
Dujarric said that Stephanides' dismissal came "after a thorough review of all aspects of the case." He said Stephanides was found to have committed "serious misconduct in accordance with U.N. staff regulations."
The U.N. investigation led by former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker found that Stephanides violated U.N. contract procurement rules in 1996 when he advised Lloyds to lower its winning bid.
At the time, he was head of the Security Council sanctions branch, dealing with issues related to countries under sanctions, including Iraq.
Stephanides said the committee in charge of the Iraq program had already decided to award the contract to Lloyds and that his intervention with the British delegation to the United Nations resulted in Lloyds lowering its price by $900,000.
Under the oil-for-food program, Iraq was permitted to export a limited amount of its crude oil in exchange for food, medicine and supplies. Most of the revenue was deposited in a U.N.-controlled bank account, and some funds were allocated for weapons inspectors and reparations.
The program was designed to help Iraq deal with the international economic sanctions imposed after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
Iraq sold a total of $64 billion through the program, which ran from 1996 to 2003 when the U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein's regime. Saddam also bypassed the program by selling billions of dollars of oil to neighboring Jordan, Turkey, Syria and Egypt.
Investigators say that Saddam exploited the oil-for-food program to extort several billion dollars in surcharges on the oil sold and kickbacks on the humanitarian goods bought. Those illicit funds were deposited in bank accounts controlled by Saddam.
The Volcker committee has levied its most serious allegations against the oil-for-food program's executive director, Benon Sevan, finding that he improperly solicited oil deals with Baghdad on behalf of a friend's oil company.
Sevan, 67, also from Cyprus, has been suspended by the United Nations and denies the charges. He remains on a symbolic dollar-a-year salary to cooperate with the Volcker probe and is basically retired.
Volcker also looked into the awarding of a separate contract to Cotecna, a Swiss inspection firm that replaced Lloyds -- and which employed Annan's son, Kojo. While Volcker wound up clearing the secretary-general of wrongdoing, he blamed him for management lapses and the failure to address an under-audited program.

From 1900 to 1913, filmmakers Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon, commissioned by touring showmen, roamed the North of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales filming the everyday lives of people at work and play. For around 70 years, 800 rolls of their early nitrate film sat in sealed barrels in the basement of a local shop in Blackburn. Miraculously discovered by a local businessman and painstakingly restored by the BFI, this ranks as the most exciting film discovery of recent times.
The BFI and the BBC have collaborated on bringing this fascinating material onto the screen with a three-part television series, The Lost World of Mitchell & Kenyon, was broadcast on BBC Two in 2005. Presented by Dan Cruickshank, the series opens up our past and includes interviews with descendents of some of those featured in the footage, who are seeing their ancestors on film for the first time. It also boasts a world exclusive: the first ever film of Manchester United.
The films are discovered by Peter Worden and restored by the BFI's National Archive. The story of Mitchell and Kenyon begins with bustling streets at home and controversial war abroad.
Following changes to working hours won by organised labour, the British worker enjoys new leisure time, swelling crowds at football matches at Preston North End, Liverpool and Manchester United. People flock to holidays in Blackpool and to egg tosses at home.
To conclude this extraordinary series, we see the first ever crime reconstruction film, the success of Mitchell and Kenyon in the USA and the ultimate demise of their partnership.

Currently there are three stations broadcasting on Digital 1 - Absolute 80s Old (64 kbps), Premier Old (48 kbps) & zPlanet Rock (64 kbps) - in addition UCB 1 has dropped its bitrate from 64 kbps to 48 kbps.
According to my calculations that will leave a 'spare' 176 kbps, if UCB 1 returns to its previous 64 kbps, when the three stations finalise their move to the SDL National multiplex.
So do we have any thoughts on what will happen after 4 April (2016-04-04) on Digital 1? In addition what will happen on local multiplexes as extra capacity appears on some of them as heat radio & Kisstory finalise their moves to SDL National?
Okay, I will probably get shot down in flames for writing this, why not increase the Classic FM bandwidth back to 160kbps or (if allowable) convert it to around 64kbps DAB+? FM output can be used as backup for listeners with old DAB tuners.
Also, an invite to carry an extra service like UCB 3 (Gospel) in DAB+ would be an extension of listeners' choice!
I'd say moving Radio X to stereo should be a priority.
Willie - removal of an old DAB service in favour of a DAB+ service would harm the industry's "50% target", since you'd inevitably be pushing some listeners back to FM. Accordingly, and particularly for a station Classic FM's size, this won't happen until the 50% target is hit.
