After a lot of touting and teasing, YU Televentures has finally unveiled their latest mid ranger the YU Yunicorn. It was tipped to be launched on 19th of May but the launch was rescheduled to 31st May instead. The YU Yunicorn is a mid-range phone which will give a direct competition to the the phones between 15K-20K. We have been playing with the new entrant from last week and here are the answers to some really important queries about the device. |
Answer- The YU Yunicorn looks looks quite different compared to the previous phones from YU Televentures. Front has 2.5D curve glass and a fingerprint sensor at the bottom that looks exactly the same as Mezu m3 Note. The back is made up of metal with brushed finish and has slight curve on the sides. The top and bottom of the back is made up of plastic to place the antennae bands but they are finished like metal. There are two thin shiny stripes where the aluminum back is joint with the antennae bands, which looks good, and the back also has chamfered edges that make it look even more elegant. |
It feels very solid and heavy in hand, and looks premium for sure. But the design looks borrowed from Meizu phones, specially the front and the camera at the back. |
Question- Does the YU Yunicorn Have Dual SIM Slots? |
Answer- Yes, it has a Hybrid dual SIM slot and supports nano SIM. |
Question- Does the YU Yunicorn Have microSD Expansion option? |

Question- How good is The Camera Quality of the YU Yunicorn? |
Answer- It comes with a 13 MP camera on the back and 5 MP on the front. Primary camera performs decent in day light but as we moved to low light, it was literally suffering. It has stabilization issues, focus speed is below average and details were also not up to the mark. The front camera captures clear selfies in natural light, but it becomes difficult to get a clear selfie in artificial light. The camera is very shaky and camera UI is laggy. |

Question- Does YU Yunicorn Have Heating Issues? |
Question- Can YU Yunicorn be connected to a Bluetooth Headset? |
YU Yunicorn is a really good device for someone who demands a lot of multitasking from their phones. It has everything that you can demand at this price point, but this deal could have been sweeter if the software was on point. It comes with almost stock Android Lollipop, and a very ordinary set of camera, but everything else is great for the price. |
A government review of freedom of religion laws in Australia last month sparked outrage after it suggested that faith-based schools ought to have the right to turn away gay students and teachers. |
This week on The Brief, Edwina Landale hears from Professor Margaret Thornton about Australia’s legal ambiguity when it comes to religion and discrimination. Topics discussed include what the proposed religious exemptions would involve, whether employment and educational discrimination should be treated differently, and how Australia’s secular-religious divide has changed over the last 20 years. |
The Brief: Freedom of religion, or freedom to discriminate? |
Sadly, news just arrived of Australian composer Phillip Houghton’s (1954-2017) passing this last October 1, 2017 (see: http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/article/phillip-houghton-1954-2017). This, not even a year after the untimely death of Roland Dyens (1955-2016) on October 29, 2016. Each composer contributed greatly to the guitar’s repertoire and here is an excerpt of their discography. May their music live through the international guitar community. |
As mentioned in Sounboard (June 2017, Volume 43 No. 2 p. 16), Roland was the highest (then) living composer in the TOP 100 with his Tango en skaï. He was quite happy about this and asked me if he could tell, after reading the manuscript of GT 100 and accepting to endorse it. |

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has clarified his position on the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit, which ended last Tuesday in Abuja. |
A statement from Tinubu’s media office Wednesday cautioned one of the Yoruba leaders, Yinka Odumakin, against his utterances over Tinubu’s position, stating that Odumakin misunderstood the whole concept of the party leader’s position concerning the conflict resolution summit. |
The statement read: “The only deserving response to Odumakin is that he needs a cure for his seeming selective comprehension. |
“The range of short and long term options for an enduring peace in the incessant clashes between herders and farmers offered by Tinubu were suggestions for the consideration of the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit. |
According to the statement, “It is not only some states in the South-west region that are affected but several states across the country. Why Odumakin has suddenly got hot under the collar may not be far-fetched. The usual frenzy and self-righteous mentality he portrays is on full display. Perhaps next time, he should read through the whole submission and caution himself from self-righteousness and displaying in full glare anarchical emotions. |
Tinubu then added that government, in the short-term, must maintain reasonable and effective military and law enforcement presence in the affected areas, ThisDay writes. |
You have heard time and again that eating whole grains is the healthy way to go. But why? |
Amy Vong and Wong Hui Xin, dietitians at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, tells us exactly how whole grains are beneficial for our health. |
How exactly do whole grains benefit a person? |
Amy Vong: Current scientific evidence shows that consuming whole grains is linked to better health in many ways. |
Firstly, whole grains help us feel fuller for a longer time. This increased sense of satiety helps us avoid overeating. |
Secondly, the higher fibre content in whole grains slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, keeping your blood sugar level steady – which is especially important for warding off potential diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and stroke. |
Thirdly, whole grains have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which helps digestion and metabolism, as well as reduces allergies. |
Taken as a whole, the research points us towards including whole grains in a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. |
How significantly do whole grains lower health risks? |
Amy Vong: When tracking groups of people over time or conducting surveys on people’s diets, researchers have found that people who eat a diet based on whole grains generally tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and better overall health. |
If you are in the habit of eating whole grains, you have a significantly lower risk of contracting coronary heart disease – a risk lowered by 20 – 40%. The lowered risk of diabetes is similar at a 20 – 30% reduction. |
People who consume the greatest amounts of whole grains, beyond experiencing the benefits above, also have a lower risk of developing some cancers. |
What does the latest research on whole grains say? |
Amy Vong: In general, we have been seeing an increase of evidence that bolsters older findings, and we understand better how a diet high in whole grains helps in general health. |
Most of the evidence for whole grains comes from observational studies, where we have limited control over the participants’ other lifestyle aspects (which also impact their health) besides their diet. |
However, there has been an increase of evidence for the benefits of whole grains from intervention studies (where tests resemble drug tests), which are generally more stringent than observational studies. |
We are therefore now even more confident that whole grains are good for health. |
Do some whole grains provide more benefits than others? |
Wong Hui Xin: There are differences between types of whole grains, and each person will need differing amounts. |
Grains, such as wheat, rice, oat, barley and rye, vary markedly in the types and amounts of phytochemicals they contain depending on their genetics and a variety of agro-climatic factors. |
Whole grains are generally higher in the ‘good stuff’ – dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. They have similar macronutrient compositions, ie. energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat content. |
However, different whole grains have different nutritional profiles. |
Certain grains such as wheat, oat, barley and rye have higher fibre content (more than 10g of fibre per 100g). If your diet is low in fibre, you will want to eat more of these. |
Research has also shown that beta glucan, found in oat and barley, is more effective in lowering blood lipids (fat) as compared to other grains. If you need to lose weight, replacing refined grains with oat and barley may help with the process. |
On the other hand, corn has the highest phenolic acid content, followed by wheat, oat, and rice. The phenolic acid concentration of whole grains corresponds to their antioxidant capacity. |
How much more beneficial is eating unprocessed whole grains (eg. oats) instead of processed whole grains (eg. wholemeal bread)? |
Amy Vong: Whether it makes a big difference depends on each individual. As a rule, we should all be making healthier choices, but an underweight 17-year-old and an overweight 70-year-old will definitely have different priorities. |
To make sense of how you should be adjusting your diet, we first need to understand the difference between unprocessed whole grains and processed whole grain foods. |
On one end we have unprocessed whole grains which have the bran, endosperm, and germ intact. |
On another end, we have refined grains, which have been stripped of the bran and germ. |
Processed whole grain foods fall somewhere in the middle. |
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 defined ‘whole grain’ as any mixture of bran, endosperm and germ in the proportions as in an intact grain – but the grains can be, and usually are, processed so that the 3 parts are separated and ground before being incorporated into foods. |
