6 Shows On Netflix You Need To Watch To Learn More About Money & Investment

Common houseflies are known to be more than just annoying creatures. Their capacity to cause disease in humans is worse than we think. Since they have no teeth, they eat by slurping fluids through their nose.

Once they land on solid food, they spit their saliva on it. The saliva liquefies the food for them to drink. They feast on nasty things like faeces and rotting meat, which can be teeming with harmful, infectious bacteria. This bacteria can get in and on the fly.

The fly can then transfer the bacteria from its food to humans. It’s believed that flies can transmit over 65 diseases to humans. These diseases include typhoid fever, cholera, and tuberculosis.

Biting & Sucking Flies

For a long time, the studies conducted were focused on biting flies who are known for leaving diseases in the bloodstream. However, according to the latest research non-biting flies vomit is considered a far greater risk to human health.

“I’ve been working on synanthropic flies since I was a graduate student in the 1960s,” says study author John Stoffolano, professor of entomology at UMass Amherst’s Stockbridge School of Agriculture, in a university release.

“And synanthropic flies have largely been ignored. Blood-feeding flies have taken the limelight, but we should pay attention to the ones that live among us because they get their nutrients from people and animals that shed pathogens in their tears, faeces and wounds.”

How Flies Spread A Disease?

When a fly touches down on the food, that’s not the only thing it touched that day. Flies often sit on stuff, like a dumpster or decomposing food, that’s full of microbes. The germs can hitch a ride and, if the fly stays put long enough, hop onto your meal. This is much more dangerous than their saliva because some of the microbes can cause diseases. Once the housefly feeds on anything it fills its crop.

“The crop is like a gas tank,” Prof. Stoffolano explains, “a place to store food before it makes its way into the digestive tract where it will get turned into energy for the fly.”

The crop of the fly intends to store a large amount of food without having to neutralise any of it since it lacks digestive enzymes. Hence, reducing the incidence of killing harmful pathogens.

Researchers have deemed that this topic is currently understudied and requires extensive knowledge to study the behaviour of houseflies and how they can spread disease from one to another.

The incubation period, the proliferation of harmful pathogens in the gut and the disease-carrying capacity are some of the things which need to be understood.

According to Prof. Stoffolano, “It’s the little things that cause the problems, our health depends on paying closer attention to these flies that live with us.”

YouTube Partner Program Paves New Methods For Content Creators To Earn Revenue On The Platform

By

Sep 21, 2022

Karachi, Pakistan, September 21, 2022: Today YouTube announced the expansion of its monetization system with YouTube Partner Program (YPP). YouTube shared that it is expanding the platform’s monetization system to allow more creators to join the program by new ways for creators to earn revenue through Shorts, and re-imagining the music industry and creator dynamic by opening up ads monetization for those who feature music in their videos.

With this new chapter, YouTube now offers ways for over 2M partners to make money. The expansion of the partner program will enable more opportunities for creators and artists on the platform in all types of different creative formats.

Starting from early 2023, Shorts-focused creators can apply to YPP by meeting a threshold of 1K subscribers and 10M Shorts views over 90 days. These new partners will be able to enjoy all the benefits YPP offers, including ads monetization across Shorts and long-form YouTube videos. The long-from content creators can still apply to YPP when they reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. The expansion brings a new level of YPP with lower requirements

YouTube also announced first-of-its-kind revenue-sharing model for Shorts. To reward the creators, the platform in 2023 will move away from a fixed fund and doubling down on a unique revenue sharing model for Shorts for both current and future YPP creators. Because ads run between videos in the Shorts Feed, every month, revenue from these ads will be added together and used to reward Shorts creators and help cover costs of music licensing. From the overall amount allocated to creators, they will keep 45% of the revenue, distributed based on their share of total Shorts views. The revenue share remains the same, no matter if they use music or not.

YouTube will also launch Creator Music in which creators can easily access an ever growing catalogue of music to use in their long-form videos. Creators can now buy affordable, high-quality music licenses that offer them full monetizing potential. This step will bridge the gap between the music industry and creators. The creator music is currently in beta in the US and will be expanding globally in 2023 which will offer a streamlined process for creators and they will be able to instantly see the terms of their song selection.

Farhan Qureshi, Google’s Regional Director for Pakistan, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka, ” Since 2007 the YouTube Partner Program has been revolutionizing the lives of content creators and the creative industry. This new chapter is one more step in the direction of creating a successful and financially secure future for creative minds through YouTube Shorts, especially the newcomers and mobile-first creators who will highly benefit from the initiative.”

Today’s announcement reflects the diversity of the platform’s growing creator community where users can promote their content on the platform with the new monetization system of YouTube. For more details click here

Moreover, if you purchase a trip eSIM, you can avoid Pakistan’s lengthy lineups and SIM card registration red tape.

What is eSIM?

The eSIM (embedded SIM) was introduced a few years ago. But what is this type of SIM?

In Pakistan, Jazz and Ufone have currently made eSIM technology available to their customers. Reports suggest that other carriers may soon follow suit. While Ufone began offering eSIM support in February 2021, Jazz first announced its support for eSIM activation in 2019. Among the supported smartphones are the Apple iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.

How Can You Activate It?

Subscribers can visit any Jazz Business Center to register for the eSIM on their current number. If they want to do it digitally, they can activate the SIM through Wi-Fi. After registering, they will get a coupon with a QR code that must be scanned in the phone’s settings. Customers of Ufone can complete the same method and obtain the eSIM jacket from Ufone Service Center.

QR Code Activation?

On iPhone
1. Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi
2. Go to Settings > Cellular
3. Tap on “Add Cellular Plan”
4. The camera screen will pop-up to scan the QR code.
5. Scan the QR code you received on a voucher.

On Google Pixel
1. Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi
2. Go to Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Carrier
3. Tap on “Add Carrier/Operator”
4. Scan the QR code you received on a voucher.

Get the eSim today and get with the times. You might be spending a lot of money on other sims and also causing a lot of inconvenience to yourself. Don’t miss out.

What are your thoughts about eSims in Pakistan? Let us know in the comments below.

Is 2022 The Driest Year On Record?

By

Sep 21, 2022

This summer has seen extremely high temperatures in parts of China and Europe. Beyond that, there is aridity in Africa that has put millions at risk of famine. Besides that, there is persistently low rainfall in the American West. So, have the last several months been the driest on record? Scientists have also predicted warmer and drier seasons are more likely to become the norm.

How Is This Detected?

The amount of soil moisture, as determined by satellite photography, is one indicator of drought conditions utilised by scientists. To get a sense of how extreme recent weather patterns have been, scientists compared these dry circumstances over the past three months. They wanted to get the average conditions since the turn of the century.

What Have The Droughts Done?

According to the EU’s Copernicus environmental programme, the drought that has affected Europe this summer may be the worst the continent has seen in 500 years. This is big news because it shows how far we are when it comes to climate change. The “soil moisture deficit” affected over half of Europe at the height of the dry period in late August. This also extends to other regions. For example, according to China’s Meteorological Administration, this summer’s lengthy spell of high temperatures in China lasted for more than two months and was the longest since records began in the 1960s.

UN’s Reporting

The UN has also issued a warning that 22 million people may be in danger of famine due to drought conditions in eastern Ethiopia, northern Kenya, and Somalia. According to Oxfam, the region of the continent is “currently in the third year of very little rainfall paired with high temperatures.” The UN is directly working on gathering data on these regions and countries for whom drought has had terrible consequences.

The heatwave in the UK, this time around, was especially shocking as the temperatures were soaring. They went higher than expectations too. Let’s be real about this as well. The reason why this is such a huge cause of concern for western countries is also that the people there can not handle these high temperatures. They are simply not used to it.

Here’s How 10-Year-Olds Are Losing One Night Of Sleep Every Week

By

-

Sep 21, 2022

A recent study has discussed the dreadful effects of social media on children’s routines as it concluded that almost 70% of children are losing sleep equivalent to one night every week.

The study conducted at De Montfort University Leicester in the U.K. suggests that 12.5% of 10-year-olds are losing about one night of sleep per week because they’re waking up in the middle of the night to check notifications.

Social Media Engagement & Sleep

Psychology lecturer John Shaw, who headed the study, said that children were supposed to sleep for between nine to 11 hours a night, per NHS guidelines, but those surveyed reported sleeping an average of 8.7 hours nightly.

The study involved 60 students, age 10, from schools within Leicester. The study groups reported the use of social media for “more than four hours a day, with two-thirds saying they were using it in the hours before bedtime.”

“The fear of missing out, which is driven by social media, is directly affecting their sleep. They want to know what their friends are doing, and if you’re not online when something is happening, it means you’re not taking part in it,” Shaw shared at the British Science Festival last week.

“And it can be a feedback loop. If you are anxious, you are more likely to be on social media; you are more anxious as a result of that. And you’re looking at something that’s stimulating and delaying sleep.”

Apps With The Most Engagement

Among the social media apps TikTok received the most engagement from children, with 90% of those surveyed saying they used the app. Followed by Snapchat with 84%, while just over half of those surveyed said they used Instagram.

According to researchers, this is the first study of its kind to look in depth at how social media sites such as TikTok and Instagram may be affecting the sleep and emotions of pre-teens.

“I suppose it is that knock-on effect on sleep and what that means for the children in terms of their cognitive development and really their social development as well because if they are always online, what does that mean for them with their in-person socialisation.” Said Shaw.

“Sleep is very important for emotion processing and memory consolidation, creativity and problem-solving among children. When they are not getting enough sleep, those processes don’t get a chance to occur,” he added.

“When it comes to biological processes during sleep, when we enter slow-wave sleep, our body rests, recovers releases growth hormone. They’re still growing, that’s why younger people tend to get more sleep than adults because they are going through biological changes.”

Original Perfumes Vs Impressions: Here's What You Need To Know1 — Image Source: Freepik

In these times of inflation, investing in high-end perfumes and breaking your pocket is a little difficult to cope with. But that shouldn’t refrain you from smelling like a dream and making a strong first impression. Hence comes the perfume impressions. The impressions are fragrances created using extracts from the plants and herbs used to create perfumes, colognes, and other scented products.

While perfume impressions don’t smell exactly like the original perfumes they still are a great way to customize an odor and create a signature scent from scratch. The kind of scent you customize can differ from mild to strong.

Find out more about perfume impressions and how you can create one for yourself.

How Perfume Impressions Are Made?

Perfume comes at varying prices, likewise, not two scents smell the same. Some perfumes are said to be heavy while others are described as light. However, they are generally classified by concentration or by their scent profile (i.e., fresh, floral, oriental).

The difference between concentrations is how long they usually last on the skin. The perfume impressions on the other hand are something you can experiment with. What works best for you might be the key to decoding a signature scent of your personal preference.

The most common ingredients used in impressions include base oils (almond, jojoba, olive) and essential oils (lavender, rose, chamomile, etc). The quantity of each essential oil differs depending on how strong you want the particular scent. A decent concoction offers a mixture of 20% base notes, 50% heart notes, and 30% top notes since they blend easily. The technique is often used in perfumes so the notes don’t dominate over the others.

Why You Should Get Perfume Impressions?

While creating perfume impressions can be fun, more importantly, you can use perfume impressions to get an idea of a certain scent before investing in a high-end product. These perfume impressions are also a great option to gift someone since they hold sentimental value.

A perfume impression is a quick way of getting yourself to smell like your favorite perfume without breaking the bank. Students and youngsters can benefit from the art of making homemade scents without having to invest much.

Perfume Impressions In Pakistan

The business of perfume impressions has been gaining momentum in Pakistan as of late. While many brands have come out with their collections in an attempt to replicate the high-end scents – many small brands also have been decoding the essence of impressions.

In a memo seen by MacRumors, Apple says that “there is a known issue for iOS 16 that may impact device activations on open Wi-Fi networks.” To resolve the issue, Apple says customers should select connect to Mac or to a PC with iTunes in the initial iOS onboarding process when prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network and then return to the previous screen and try again on Wi-Fi until the activation goes through successfully.

Apple noted in the memo there are no current official fixes and that support staff must not create a repair for the issue. Unfortunately, the bug is untimely, as customers worldwide begin receiving their iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max pre-orders.

For new ‌iPhone 14‌ customers, there is an available iOS 16.0.1 update that fixes an issue with activation and migration during setup. If you’re facing issues activating your ‌iPhone 14‌ out of the box, you may need to restore it with a Mac or PC to iOS 16.0.1 to fix the bug and fully activate your new iPhone.

In a support document, Apple tells new ‌iPhone 14‌ and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ customers that “iMessage and FaceTime might not complete activation” until they’ve updated their new iPhones to iOS 16.0.1.

How To Solve The Problem

Experts have advised owners of older iPhones to opt for iOS 15.7 rather than iOS 16. Meanwhile, Apple is suggesting backup steps if you’re having issues after updating. You can go through the following steps to solve the problem.

In the Settings app, tap ‘Cellular’.
Make sure that your phone line is turned on. If you use multiple SIMs, make sure that the phone number you want to use is selected and turned on.
In the Settings app, tap ‘Messages’. Then tap ‘Send & Receive’.Tap the phone number that you want to use with Messages.
Go back in the Settings app, and tap ‘FaceTime’.
Tap the phone number that you want to use with FaceTime.

Not all snacks need to be avoided while someone is trying to lose weight. We’ve all been there when eating once a day seemed like the best solution. However, contrary to popular opinion, trying to lose weight does not need a person to restrict their diet or only eat at meals. These are all the snacks you can have and still lose weight!

1. Hummus and Vegetables

A 2016 study conducted by doctors found that hummus has a number of advantages. Protein and fibre in hummus are both good sources and both can hasten the feeling of fullness. People who eat hummus with veggies are receiving both the nutritional benefits of the hummus and any additional nutrients from the vegetables.

2. Nut Butter and Fruits

A healthy snack that fits into a diet is apples and peanut butter. Have peanut butter with any fruit! One medium apple, or one of the required two cups of fruit per day, contains 20% of the dietary fibre that an individual needs.

3. Nuts

Nuts offer healthy fats and protein. You can munch on them all day long. Just don’t have the additional salt ones. A person should also stay away from nuts that have been flavor-cooked because the flavors frequently contain salt or sugar.

4. Eggs

An excellent source of protein. Due to worries about cholesterol, however, many people traditionally believed that eggs were unhealthy. However, not only are they filling but also help with weight loss.

5. Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is low in fat and calories, high in calcium and protein. To enhance the flavor and nutritional content of Greek yogurt, it is safe to add fresh fruit or nuts. Go strawberries!

6. Cottage Cheese and Fruit

One cup of cottage cheese contains 24 grammes of satisfying protein. Cottage cheese and fruit make for a sweet, creamy, and satisfying snack since the cottage cheese’s protein and fat complement the fruit’s fiber.

7. Almonds and Dark Chocolate

Almonds and dark chocolate make a delicious combination. A potent flavor and health pairing is the rich chocolate flavor and the crunchy almonds.

8. Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

Tomatoes with mozzarella cheese are a delicious and healthy way to increase your intake of vegetables.

For a snack that is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, combine tomatoes with mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, and a dab of extra virgin olive oil. You won’t forget this one!

9. Oatmeal

Our grandparents eat it for a reason. It is a wonderfully adaptable snack, oatmeal can be eaten hot or cold, at home or on the go. Simply prepare a portion of oats that is a little bit smaller than you would for a meal.

10. Popcorn

Consider air-popped popcorn instead of the butter and salt-covered variety from the movie theatre. A hearty 3-cup serving of popcorn has fewer than 100 calories and provides satisfying fibre.

What’s Going On?

YouTube has been very active with a new project. Rollouts are currently taking center stage at a considerably slower rate than anticipated for the video page but it might be closer than you expect. The new page will have a number of changes, and we appreciate the news that a new kind of interesting interface is now available.

The Changes

Amongst the changes, the carefully fashioned buttons like a pill to represent all of the key components are connected to one of the primary attractions. For instance, as opposed to before, you’ll see that the Like Count and the Thumbs Up/Down are now combined in a single container. Moreover, the app’s most used commands have also received a similar treatment when it comes to change. There are buttons for downloading, creating, sharing, and other things now. Even new stuff has been created.

For instance, the carousel that is present on mobile devices will now be displayed beneath a channel’s data. The details will be available directly after the title, post date, hashtags, and total views of the item.

The Ambient Mode

Reports suggest this new interface is worth to watch out for because of the Ambient Mode. Here, the explanation has a chance to blend in with the bottom of the movie and the system bar. It overall provides a more immersive experience. Additionally, you may easily activate or deactivate it by going to your overflow menu.

Increased Engagement Tactics

The appearance of the top comment is yet another significant screen feature that passionate app enthusiasts care for. This will now be located in a more noticeable area. Youtube has aimed to give people the feel of popularity. Thus, they’re targeting increased engagement.

YouTube’s desktop version will be even better. Here, visual descriptions are given more visual emphasis. The software obviously believes that this will be advantageous to the designers. So how excited are you to use the new Youtube soon?
