<p>Hi Lee</p>
<p>I agree the Market Day will follow the same format as previous ones. I'll be arranging promotional materials, date and time and invitations to residents early next week. I am happy for any residents to join me in the organising of it. Christine has been really helpful in offering advice based on her experience from previous Market Days.</p>
<p></p>

<p>Douglas,</p>
<p>I think the market day should be different from the one last Christmas.</p>
<p>In the past the Gardening Group ran it - and I think Bill & Christine did once - and all tables were for residents to sell their stuff. Personally, I would like the format to remain the same. </p>

<p>There will be another Market Day event this May under Crescent House. I am helping to organise it along with some residents. I'll have some more details to update residents with soon. Watch this space....</p>

<p><br></br> Steve I recently bought a Blu-ray player, but it still plays my older DVD's with a slightly enhanced quality to a straight DVD player, so there's no real need to get rid of your old DVD's, only if you want to replace them for aesthetic reasons.</p>
<p>Give your old DVD's a try in the Blue-ray and then decide whether you need or want to replace them.</p>

<p>Hi Steve. Same as Ultra High Definition, it has more pixels than HD which is 1080p. 4K UHDTV is 2160p resolution and 8K is 4320p, 16 times more pixels than current HD of 1080p, so it can show more fine detail and the obvious pixelation which is visible now the closer to the screen you are will be reduced, and you can also get much bigger screens without losing the detail. The future of TV walls is closer than we think! Not sure if that's wholly a good thing ...</p>

<p>When I was at the BBC I saw a very early demo of super HD by NHK labs a few years back, NHK were using two projectors to throw the picture onto a screen about 30 square feet, the definition was amazing. They have developed it significantly over the last few years, and the big outdoor screens set up by the BBC for the Olympics last year were showing them in super/ultra high def.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Interesting/exciting stuff. :-)</p>

<p>There was an article on Click recently about WiFi and super high-def, which was interesting. That episode doesn't appear to be on iPlayer yet - it's been broadcast so no doubt they'll upload it soon.</p>
