Asia Cup 2022 Live: Naseem Shah, the wonder kid pulls off a miracle against Afghanistan

Sep 8, 2022

Naseem Shah, the teenager from Lower Dir, is known for disturbing batters with his raw pace, but who knew that this kid could pull off a miracle with the bat too. He sent the whole Pakistan nation into a frenzy, with two mighty sixes to book Pakistan’s ticket to the final of the Asia Cup.

Sharjah stadium was on its feet when Fazalhaq Farooqi came to bowl the last over for Afghanistan against Pakistan’s last two batters (Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain) requiring eleven runs to win. There was little hope in the Pakistan camp, and Afghanistan had confidence on their side, along with the expectations and prayers of Indians. Afghanistan’s victory could have left a chance for India to still qualify for the finals.

Relive the moment when @iNaseemShah made history in Sharjah – the home of iconic Pakistan 6s!

Farooqi approaches his bowling mark for the last over, with the bowling figures of 3-19 off his last three overs, his wickets included captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Nawaz, and Khushdil Shah. Naseem Shah on the other hand was feeling the heat, after the dismissal and an ugly altercation between Asif Ali and the Afghan bowler in the last over.

Naseem takes guard, Farooqi sprints to the bowling crease, strides in, and misses the yorker length. Naseem swings the bat, it connects, and out goes the ball… right into the hands of Afghan fans in the stands. But the victory was still one hit away.

Practice makes things perfect and easier.

On the next ball, another full toss, another swing, and for the briefest fraction in time, the ball hovers in the air within reach of the long-off fielder. The hopes of the three nations were up in the air, however, like the climax of a Bollywood sports movie, the ball teases everyone from the fielder to the batter to the fans, and lands just outside the boundary line for the six.

— Naseem Shah (@iNaseemShah) September 7, 2022

Naseem knew that he has pulled off a miracle, just like Miandad did back in 1986 on the same Sharjah soil. The adrenaline rush was visible on his face, he drops his bat, and helmet while sprinting towards the onrushing Pakistan players and staff.

Nerves of steel! @iNaseemShah take a bow! @TheRealPCB edge a thriller! #NaseemShah https://t.co/x9CCpB4tqs

On the other side, the Afghanistan team was on their knees, some of them were crying having come so close yet so far from victory. They have fought hard to defend the small total of 130 against an experienced Pakistani batting line up. They looked like a formidable bowling unit, under the mentorship of Umar Gul, even though they are out of Asia Cup, but the way they have bowled is an alarming sign for every team in the upcoming World T20 in Australia.

Naseem Shah in the #AsiaCup2022:
◾ T20I debut against IND
◾ Bowled with cramps to finish his 4 overs
◾ Figures of 2-7 against HK
◾ Hits back-to-back sixes with 1 wicket left to reach the final
◾ Six wickets with an average of 16.33 so far

— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) September 8, 2022

Pakistan team was confident about chasing this total easily, after chasing 181 runs against India in the last game. The fans expected a one-sided affair, however, Pakistan batting collapsed against Afghan bowlers, keeping their unpredictable title intact. They looked clueless against spinners, scoring only 59 runs off 11 overs. Shadab Khan, who was promoted to the No. 5 spot, was the only man who posed a threat to Afghan spinners. However, once he perished, Afghanistan dominated the game again.

This was a game to remember for Pakistan for ages, just like the game against India in Asia Cup 2014 when Shahid Afridi sealed the deal with two sixes to Ashwin in the final over. Team India was also knocked out from Asia Cup 2022 with this loss for Afghanistan, as they were banking on Afghanistan to stop Pakistan in their tracks to reach the finals. However, with the result, the next two Super Four games turn dead rubbers now. India will face Afghanistan, while Pakistan and Sri Lanka will square off once before meeting again in the finals of the Asia Cup.

There are new updates for a watch, the anticipated iPhone 14, and also the new Airpods but here’s the best part: an update about prices! Read all about it here:

The Biggest Update

The biggest update is that Apple did not raise the price of the new iPhones. This comes as a surprise because it is contrary to what some analysts had predicted. The new iPhones will be available for purchase on Friday. The high-end models for this year, the iPhone 14 Pro, were just unveiled by Apple CEO, Tim Cook, at the annual Apple event.

iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max

The iPhone 14 Pro is the smallest model with a 6.1-inch screen. The larger version will be referred to as the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The smaller model of the iPhone 14 Pro will cost $999, the same as last year. On the other hand, the larger one will cost $1099. On coming Friday, they go up for pre-order and they will ship the following week. So, are you ready to get the latest iPhone?

iPhone 14 Plus

Apple has announced two models this time. The iPhone 14 Plus replaces the older “iPhone 13 mini” model with a bigger model with a 6.7-inch screen. The Plus will cost $899. However, while the orders for it open at the same time as the other model, the Plus model won’t ship until October, though.

Airpods

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, also unveiled a new version of the company’s noise-canceling wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro. These ones go on sale on September 23 for $249. Not bad! Apple claims that this is because of an Apple H2 chip, an improvement over the H1 chip used in the prior generation.

Do you want to know the new characteristics? They include: a new touch-based volume control.

and a longer battery life with a listening time of up to 6 hours. Moreover, they also have an even more minute ear tip with the ability to utilise MagSafe chargers to recharge.

The New Apple Watch

The Apple Watch Ultra, a new high-end watch with a fresh design, larger screen, and titanium shell is coming soon. It was just revealed by Apple and might already have fans. Outdoor athletes are the target market for the product and you will know why! It will go on sale on September 23 for at least $799.

It has a redesigned watch face with greater details and a compass. Moreover, it comes with a brand-new orange “action” button for speedy use when exercising or donning gloves. Additionally, it may display how far the user is diving while swimming.

September is about to turn the cover which only means one thing: Apple event is coming up. The tech giant always keeps its launch events in September and this year the case will be no different. The iPhone 14 is awaited excitedly, Airpods Pro 2 are coming, new smart watches and a special edition headphone set.

What’s Going on?

The day is here. We’re now just hours away from the Apple event. Reports suggest that as always, this event will be the most important keynote event of the year.

What To Be Excited About?

The highlight of this annual September event will be the iPhone 14 series. There is a lot of anticipation surrounding the release of the new iPhone 14 Plus/Max which is only one of four new versions. Though there isn’t a lot of difference between it and the iPhone 13, a larger model will be welcome. However, you can expect a price increase for the iPhone 14 Pro by Apple by $100.

Three New Watches Coming

The Apple September event is also making many people excited because of the new watches. It will feature the introduction of three new watches. Some specs that have been revealed include a new body temperature sensor and a better battery that will be added to the Apple Watch Series 8.

Moreover, Apple may be preparing a tough “Pro” version of the current watch. There is a distinct design and premium finish for extreme activities.

The Updated Airpods

Apple is also expected to unveil the updated AirPods Pro 2 during its presentation in September. Sources suggest that the upcoming AirPods Pro model, code-named B698, will include the most recent version of Apple’s unique H1 chip. It will also have a similar design to the current edition. Besides that, there is also the insinuation that the AirPods Pro 2 would be the first to include Bluetooth 5.2 support.

The Secret Item

This entire last year the Apple Mixed Reality Headset sales have been rising. It is expected that Apple may use the term “One More Thing” from Steve Jobs during its annual event to hint at the upcoming Mixed Reality headset.

Top 5 Best-Selling iPhones Of All Time

Are you also one of those who think that the best-selling Apple iPhone is the latest one? Well, you’re as wrong as we are. There have been 5 top-selling iPhones in the history of iPhones and they have been iconic for their own reasons. Read about them here.

iPhone 12

The most popular and top-selling of them that is still available is iPhone 12. The phone immediately gained popularity after going on sale in October 2020. By April 2021, it had dominated the market and sold more than 100 million copies. It reached this milestone in just 7 months, whereas iPhone 11 took 10 months to reach it!

iPhone 6s

Apple was resisting larger screens for a long time until Android phones began to dominate the markets with large screens. The first iPhone that was then released with a huge 4.7-inch display is the iPhone 6s. This improved model of the beloved iPhone 6 rose gold became top-selling rapidly and sold 124.5 million pieces globally.

iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is also one of the huge screen wonders. It was released at a time when large-screen android phones were beginning to gain popularity and it was the first Apple released like this. The screen size had expanded from 3.5 to 4 inches with the iPhone 5. The phone was smaller and lighter because it had an aluminium body but it was taller. It appeared smaller in your hands but was attractive. The iPhone 5 sold more than two million devices within 24 hours of pre-order sales and within three days the sales reached five million units.

iPhone 5s

There were barely any changes in iPhone 5s. Many thought that nothing had changed. However, while the iPhone 5s largely performed the same functions as the iPhone 5, it was faster, brighter, and smarter. With sales of nearly 163.7 million units, the iPhone 5s is the second-best-selling Apple smartphone despite menial upgrades.

iPhone 6

This one, without a doubt, is one of the top-selling iPhones out there. The rose gold color of the iPhone 6 served as a signal of its iconic launch of cutting-edge technology and people went gaga for it. The iPhone 6 has sold an incredible 222.4 million devices since its launch in 2014. No other device by Apple has crossed this threshold until now.

Here’s How This Mobile App Can Detect COVID-19 From People’s Voices

Sep 8, 2022

app detect covid-19 — Image Source: Deccan Herald

This new technology that’s just being tested nowadays will blow your mind. It uses a software to detect through your voice whether you have COVID-19 or not. Doesn’t that sound amazing and awfully convenient? Read all about it here with us:

What’s Going On?

Researchers announced on Monday that a smartphone app can accurately identify COVID-19 infection in people’s voices using artificial intelligence (AI). Basically, the software can be utilised in low-income nations where PCR tests are expensive. The other issue can be the challenges to deliver the tests. This is because the app is cheaper, quicker, and easier to use than numerous antigen testing. However, how many people have access to phones and thus, apps in such nations?

Wafaa Aljbawi is a researcher at the Institute of Data Science at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. She said, “The encouraging results suggest that simple voice recordings and fine-tuned AI algorithms can potentially achieve high precision in determining which patients have COVID-19 infection.” The app also supports virtual, remote testing and has a turnaround time of under a minute. The app could be used for instance, at the entrances to huge gatherings to enable quick population screening.

Why Does It Work?

The science behind it is that the COVID-19 infection typically impacts the upper respiratory tract and vocal cords. They change a person’s voice. Aljbawi and her superiors made the decision to look into the viability of using AI to analyze voices in order to identify COVID-19. It’s the day and age of technology and this is how it is used for everybody’s benefit!

They used information from the crowd-sourced COVID-19 Sounds App from the University of Cambridge. It includes 893 audio samples from 4,352 healthy and unhealthy subjects, of whom 308 had tested positive for COVID-19. The researchers then used a method for analysing voice known as Mel-spectrogram analysis. This distinguishes several voice characteristics like loudness, power, and fluctuation across time. As a result, COVID-19 can be detected through the changes in these factors of sound.

The Feasibility

If this were to become a thing, it could not only make testing easier but also control the spread of the virus. Would you download the app?

1. Sweden: Banana Curry Pizza

Does pineapple belong on pizza? This is an argument that has pizza lovers around the internet heavily divided. But in Sweden, there’s another fruit that people like to top their pizzas with.

There are a lot of different toppings that are popular when it comes to pizza in Sweden, but one of the most unusual ones is the banana curry pizza. In Sweden, they put slices of banana on their pizza. This pizza is covered with ham, curry powder, cheese, and bananas. We definitely won’t judge anyone that puts pineapple on their pizza again!

2. UAE: Cone Crust Pizza

This pizza is not unusual because of the toppings that go on it, but the type of crust that it has. There are pizzas from all different countries that have unique crusts like pretzel or cheeseburger crust pizza or even the classic stuffed crust pizza. But in the United Arab Emirates, they take the unique pizza crust to a whole new level.

3. Brazil: Green Pea Pizza

Vegetables on pizza? That’s not all that strange! Plenty of countries put vegetables like onions, olives, bell peppers, and tomatoes on their pizza. But in Brazil, they put a more unique ingredient on top of their pizza.

In Brazil, green peas aren’t just a side dish to make meals a little healthier. They’re also a popular pizza topping. There are a lot of recipes around the Internet for healthier pizzas that feature green peas as a topping.

6. Full English Breakfast

The UK version of the pizza has a full English breakfast as a pizza topping. Including fried eggs, rashers, sausages, puddings, and even beans. The only thing not piled on is the toast and tea, but I’m sure they’d be willing to try if you asked.

7. Australia: Kangaroo Pizza

While Australia has a lot of really interesting and different food, kangaroo pizza has got to be one of the most unique foods that people can find down under. Kangaroo meat is served at quite a few different restaurants around Australia, but kangaroo pizza is one of the most interesting ways to try it.

Documentaries, for better or for worse, usually encourage debates, discussions, and subsequent change. The recent environmental catastrophe in Pakistan has shed a light on climate change and its detrimental effects on different landscapes. Now is the time to educate ourselves and learn about what we can do to preserve our ecological system.

For those wanting to take this time to consume content that will develop their minds. We’ve curated a list of eye-opening documentaries that deep-dive into the environment and will truly make you think twice about things we’ve taken for granted.

Here is a curated list of documentaries you need to watch on climate change.

1. Our Planet

If you need a reminder of why nature needs us to tackle the climate crisis, look no further than Sir David Attenborough’s Our Planet. The eight-part Netflix series looks at how global temperature rises are affecting wildlife around the world. From flamingos in Africa to lowland gorillas in the Congo rainforest. This docu-series comes after Attenborough’s Blue Planet II (2017) shocked viewers by showing how ocean plastic and rising sea temperatures are endangering our marine life.

2. Chasing Coral

Chasing Coral taps into the collective will and wisdom of ad men who are self-proclaimed coral nerd, top-notch camera designer, and renowned marine biologist. As they invent the first time-lapse camera to record bleaching events as they happen. With its breathtaking photography, nail-biting suspense, and startling emotion, Chasing Coral is a dramatic revelation that won’t have you sitting idle for long.

3. This Changes Everything

Following her bestselling 2014 book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs The Climate, Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein made a documentary that asks the question: “What if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a better world?” After visiting frontline communities affected by climate change — including those on the southern coast of India — Klein highlights the connection between our economic systems, and the crisis facing our planet.

4. Before The Flood

Before the Flood is a climate documentary presented by National Geographic to discuss this industry’s impact openly. Hollywood actor and UN Messenger of Peace, Leonardo DiCaprio, features in the documentary. In the documentary, Leonardo Dicaprio encourages people to educate themselves on climate issues rather than being complacent.

5. India 2050

India 2050, as a docu-series, works to interpret the inherent threats of uncontrolled environmental degeneration and climate change in India—a hypothetical future of India with respect to the environment and climate change. It is a glimpse of how thriving cities of India will look by 2050 if we don’t take imminent steps to preserve the environment.

Samsung Trolls Apple Right Before The Launch Of iPhone 14

Have you seen Samsung’s latest official ad for its Galaxy S22 Ultra and ZFlip4? The new phone is already incredible as it is but the tech company could not have launched it in a better way. It’s always fun when big companies mock each other harmlessly in their advertisements and this one has to be our latest favorite instance:

What Happened?

Next week, Apple will formally introduce the iPhone 14. However, there won’t be any new features or innovations. These are not our own words but Samsung’s! Samsung wants you to think the following in its newest advertisement for the Galaxy S22 Ultra and ZFlip4: “This new technology won’t be available on an iPhone near you.” The company sold its phone to its new users by highlighting its unique features saying none of this is with Apple.

What Does The Ad Say?

The emphasis of Samsung’s latest advertisement is on the unique features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and ZFlip4. It does it in a way that leads you to believe that the iPhone 14 will include these new features, saying:

“Buckle up for Apple’s latest launch as you enter a world where heads will turn, just not in your direction. Where the highest resolution camera on a smartphone will be in someone else’s pocket. And that epic moonshot that’s getting all the likes won’t be yours. Because this innovation is not coming soon to an iPhone near you. It’s already here in the galaxy.”

Isn’t this harmless, so funny, and interesting? It’s peak marketing and the best part is this isn’t the first time Samsung has done it.

Does Samsung Keep Doing This?

Prior to Apple’s big events and new product debuts, Samsung frequently teases the company. One of Samsung’s most well-known advertising campaigns took place in 2017. That was when the company relentlessly made fun of the iPhone X’s notch, the absence of a headphone jack, and other features. However, Samsung frequently ends up embracing many of the modifications and features that it originally derided Apple for doing. So this is all fun and games!

Be honest, are you also one of those people who saw this ad because of this whole Samsung and Apple fight? It does bring in the views!

5 Tips To Recover From Dengue Effectively

Dr. Rida Qamar

Sep 7, 2022

With heavy downpours, standing water, and flooding the mosquito-borne disease dengue is on the rise again. Stagnant water offers a breeding ground for mosquitoes that spread Dengue. Since Dengue affects a huge population each year, people are suggested to practice prevention steps to stop it from spreading.

It is caused by the dengue virus and is transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Some of the common symptoms of viral Dengue fever include high fever, headache, body aches, weakness, joint pain, loss of appetite, cold and cough, nausea, vomiting, skin rashes, and nose bleeding. Most patients suffering from Dengue fever recover within two weeks.

Dengue patients are often advised to eat light for better digestion. Your diet can influence your progress in recovery from Dengue. Here are some diet tips which you can follow for a fast recovery from Dengue.

1. Maintain Hydration

Excessive sweating and exertion during fever can lead to extreme dehydration. Ensure that you take a lot of fluids and stay well hydrated. Drink adequate water and other fluids like coconut water, papaya leaf juice, neem juice, and other juices at frequent intervals to keep your body well hydrated. Moreover, staying hydrated also reduces the symptoms of headaches, as well as muscle cramps. Water helps in flushing out these excess toxins from your body which can help you recover.

2. High Protein Diet

While you are suffering from Dengue fever and even after recovery, patients are advised to consume a high protein diet to get the required supply of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats. You can also eat chicken, fish, eggs, legumes, and other dairy products to battle the virus fast.

3. Papaya Leaf Juice

This is a quite famous remedy for Dengue fever. Papaya leaf can help you treat fever effectively. It increases the platelet count of dengue patients and improves immunity. You can extract some papaya leaf juice and add to some water and drink it twice or thrice a day for better results.

4. Practice Hygiene

The most important thing that you must do to take care of a patient is to maintain a clean and hygienic environment at home. Also, make sure that the environment is free from mosquitoes since the infection can spread to others easily. Also, ensure that there is no water collected in any area in and around the house as mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.

5. Get Adequate Rest

Dengue fever comes at the expense of high fever, and body and joints pain constantly. Therefore, you need to take adequate rest. Try and sleep as much as you can. Also, make sure that you do not go to crowded places.

Salaam Takaful Limited, being the largest dedicated general takaful operator and first Islamic insurtech in Pakistan, is committed to serve not only its policyholders but also the world they operate in. That is the reason they have been one of the most vocal supporters of ESG and its true practitioners in the country.

Its most recent feat in this regard is its inclusion as one of the prestigious signatories in the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP-FI) Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI). By doing so, Salaam Takaful has the distinction of being one of the first Islamic financial institutions to become signatory to UNEP FI’s PSI.

Salaam Takaful believes that Islamic finance and ESG are confluent in terms of the impact of stewardship and shared value and the takaful industry has an important role to play in bridging the gap between Islamic finance and ESG.

Endorsed by the UN Secretary-General, the Principles for Sustainable Insurance have led to the largest collaborative initiative between the UN and the insurance industry—the PSI Initiative. Over 220 organisations worldwide have adopted the four Principles for Sustainable Insurance, including insurers representing about one-third of world premium volume and USD15 trillion in assets under management. The Principles are part of the insurance industry criteria of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and FTSE4Good.

“We are delighted that Salaam Takaful is the first takaful company to sign the UNEP-FI’s Principles for Sustainable Insurance. Becoming a signatory to the PSI aligns both with our focus on mainstreaming takaful and to become part of a global network of insurance stakeholders who consider ESG along their entire value chain by embedding environmental, social and governance objectives in their core business,” said Rizwan Hussain, Managing Director & CEO of Salaam Takaful Limited.

Why Do Foldable Phones Recieve Backlash?

Dr. Rida Qamar

Sep 6, 2022

Samsung’s foldable phone became the new IT thing ever since it launched last year and turned out to be the proud proprietor of foldable phones, the Samsung Galaxy Flip3.

For those that are unfamiliar, that is a smartphone-sized software that folds in part. While many had been looking forward to such a device ever since the Motorola Razr clamshell of 2004.

The Issue With Foldable Phone

Just over a year of the launch of the Samsung foldable phone the dream of owning the Samsung phone shattered as the ‘fold’ line all at once changed into significantly wider and grew to become silver a few days in the past, the decrease part of the display grew to become inexperienced, the higher part changed into unresponsive, and an ominous black cloud started to develop throughout the display.

“I’m no longer by myself; there are many folks online who’ve had an identical story. One Reddit consumer just lately said that their logo new device shattered after 5 hours.”

RIP little Galaxy Flip3. I guess we hit our 200,000th fold in less than a year.

According to Samsung, the present iteration must be ready to resist 200,000 folds.

Foldable Phones Durability

The durability of Samsung’s foldable phones has been in question for a long time. Back in 2019, when foldable phones have been debuted with a lot of enthusiasm. There was once a lot of trade hypothesis that this can be the software that will resurrect a stagnant smartphone trade, create a new buzz around handsets, and convince other folks to improve, despite information indicating that they have been keeping directly to their phones for longer, uninspired by means of homogeneous black rectangles.

“I haven’t observed a lot of broken foldable,” says Ben Wood of CCS Insight, “however at a time when other folks in the UK are conserving their phones for 4 years or extra, customers are on the hunt for phones that last more.”

While Samsung claims to have sold over 10 million foldable phones by 2021, and there’s unquestionably a web following for the devices. According to shopper information supplier Statista, Apple sold greater than 49 million iPhones in the best 3 months that very same 12 months. This shows that folding handsets stay a reasonably minor part of the multibillion-dollar smartphone trade and the situation might not change anytime soon.

Here’s What These Cities Are Doing To Protect Themselves From Extreme Heat

Dr. Rida Qamar

Sep 6, 2022

The entire world has been facing blistering heat waves. From the United States to Europe and China to Japan, extreme temperatures have soared for weeks, killing hundreds of people, sparking wildfires in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Greece and displacing thousands of residents, as many seek refuge in public cooling centres.

Air conditioners might keep the indoors cool, but they only add to the heat outdoors. And in most cases, they are adding to the climate crisis by increasing planet-warming emissions. Public transportation may be unbearable on a hot day, but driving a car that runs on gas instead just worsens traffic, also adding to heat and emissions. A lack of trees means a lack of shade, and buildings made of dark materials bring hotter interiors, which means more air conditioning.

Here’s a look at a few of the more promising ideas that cities around the world have been pursuing to try to beat the heat.

1. Abu Dhabi – Self-Shading Tower Block

Mashrabiya refers to the latticed screens often seen in Islamic architecture, sometimes surrounding a small balcony, that diffuses sunlight and keeps buildings cool without completely blocking light. They are designed to encourage a breeze and offer a spot of respite from the heat within a building. The idea is essentially to stop direct sunlight from landing on a building’s exterior.

That’s what inspired the design of Al Bahar Towers, a 25-story building wrapped in more than 1,000 hexagonal shades with built-in sensors that allow them to respond to the sun’s movements. When the sun hits the shades, they unfold like an umbrella to ward off the heat. Without these measures, the outside of such a building in Abu Dhabi could reach as high as 200 degrees (around 90 Celsius).

2. Paris – Cool Islands

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has been credited with putting in place some of the world’s most innovative measures to combat the heat, and the city’s heat plan is truly comprehensive.

The main result is a city full of ‘cool islands.’ Parisians can use an app called EXTREMA to guide them to more than 800 cool spots — parks, water fountains and air-conditioned museums, for example — and get there via a naturally cooled walkway. The idea is that a cool island is always at a maximum walking distance of seven minutes for everyone.

3. Vienna – Cooling Trees

Like in much of Europe, many in Vienna don’t have air conditioning, so water is a big part of how the Austrian capital keeps cool.

For those who don’t have time for a dip in the Danube, the city offers cooling parks with mist-spraying “trees” that people can either “shower” in, or just sit near to enjoy the cooler temperatures they bring their surroundings.

4. Miami – Target Heat Traps

Neat Streets Miami, a board convened by the county council, recognized that bus stops had become real danger zones during heat waves, so they planted trees around 10 stops. They wrote a guide on which trees work best and where to plant them so that other areas could replicate the project.

And that they have. There are now 71 green bus stops in the country, most of them by communities that applied to the government for resources to green their bus stops.

5. Rotterdam – Green Rooftops

Planting greenery on rooftops can help cities keep cool. Rotterdam in the Netherlands took the initiative to demonstrate this with the Rotterdam Rooftop Walk. Water storage along with vegetation is expected to reduce the incidence of flooding. The city hopes to green over 900,000 square metres of rooftops.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, green roofs can reduce ambient temperatures in a city by up to 15C.

6. Los Angeles – Paint The Town White

This one is a little more controversial. Some cities have experimented with painting rooftops white to reflect sunlight and keep buildings cool, but Los Angeles went a step further and is painting entire roads white. Dark things like asphalt absorb sunlight and emit that energy back into the air as heat. Painting the asphalt white would theoretically nip that process in the bud, and lead to cooler air temperatures.

Here’s How You Can Persuade People To Change Their Behaviour

Governments recently were tasked with changing people’s behaviors when the pandemic hit. Don’t go out, wear a mask. Directives were everywhere. While all of these changes were for people’s betterment, people are less likely to respond to directives. So, here’s how you can influence people’s behaviors and why directives don’t work:

Why Don’t Directives Work?

Because we all like to feel in control of our decisions, directives aren’t particularly helpful in causing prolonged behavior change. They work in the short term. Why did I use that service, purchase that item, or carry out that action? Because of personal likes and dislikes.

Therefore, when someone tries to sway our opinions, we don’t just go along; instead, we resist their persuasion. We do the things people ask us not to do. We avoid following their advice because we don’t want to feel like they are in charge of us. It’s about feeling in control of our decisions and actions.

Ask Questions Instead

The same idea might be expressed as a question, such as, “Do you believe not wearing a mask will not harm anyone?” If someone responds “no,” they are suddenly in a difficult situation. Encouraging everybody to express their viewpoint allows them to set down a marker and declare that such things aren’t good for them. It allows for self-reflection and self-improvement.

Highlight Inconsistencies

You could also highlight the inconsistency in their beliefs and actions. You could do this by highlighting a gap between people’s ideas and deeds. You can also show them that what they may advise others to do and what they really carry out are very different. This way you might give them a greater sense of independence and power.

Make Your Requests Smaller

Big requests and substantial ones are frequently declined. They enter what scientists refer to as “the area of rejection” and are rejected because they are so different from what people are doing at the moment. You can’t ask somebody addicted to something to drop it the same day. Instead, ask them to reduce their daily intake for example!

It would be preferable to scale back the first request. Ask for less at first, then more later. Divide a challenging request into smaller, more manageable portions.

Study In The Metaverse: Meta & Iowa’s VictoryXR Open 10 Virtual Campuses

Are colleges becoming more open to the concept of holding classes in the metaverse after two years of Zoom classes? It sure seems like it. What began as a revolutionary technology only for the gaming world has now enveloped education too. With $150 million invested, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is leading the charge in education in the metaverse.

What’s The Experience Like?

The ability to leave your physical reality and fully immerse yourself in a digitally generated environment is what it feels like. According to Muhsinah Morris, the project’s chief investigator, “it might occur in any timeframe and anywhere in the world.” One of the 10 so-called metaversities that offers classes via VR headgear in a virtual classroom is the historically Black college in Atlanta.

Universities Come Around

Reportedly, for years, colleges and universities have toyed with the idea of employing virtual reality as a teaching tool. However, the finances have helped them back. The headsets were large and expensive. Moreover, it is expensive and takes talented engineers to create efficient virtual learning environments.

Zuckerberg has offered ten institutions free admission to the metaverse this autumn as part of Meta, the parent company of Facebook. One of these universities is the University of Maryland Global Campus. It is the only university that takes in more than 45,000 undergraduate students to attend the online-only institution. As a university, it lacks physical classrooms or student life areas. The new project by meta has lent numerous headsets to them too.

What’s The Campus Like?

The virtual campus is clearly a college campus and was created by VictoryXR. It has an extended reality education software firm headquartered in Davenport, Iowa. There are white-columned Georgian-style buildings encircle a lush lawn that is vivid green. Two mallard ducks are chasing a pond in the middle. If you have the stomach for it, you can enjoy a ride on a rope swing that hangs from a tree.

Does this project sound like something you’d be up for? It seems in the near future, the next generation could be studying in this way entirely.

7 Common Myths About Entrepreneurs That Aren’t True

Dr. Rida Qamar

Sep 5, 2022

Roughly, one in every 18 people owns their own business. Some step into the shoes of entrepreneurs to pursue opportunities, while others — including those in developing countries — do so out of sheer necessity, because it’s one of the most promising ways to earn a living.

Entrepreneurship is a dream for millions of people around the world. However, it comes with its own set of myths and misconceptions. If you have decided to take the plunge busting these myths is a good way to start.

Take a look at some of the things you might need to unlearn before starting your own business.

1. Entrepreneurs Are Born Not Made

Many people believe that entrepreneurs possess innate, genetic talents. However, experts generally agree that most entrepreneurs were not born; they learned to become entrepreneurs. The recent proliferation of college and university courses on the subject supports this point. Entrepreneurship is currently being successfully taught. While there might be a few factors involved, however, almost anyone can be a successful entrepreneur.

2. Entrepreneurs Do It For The Money

While money could be a motivating factor, however, the most common reason that entrepreneurs start businesses is independence — the ability to create something they can call their own instead of working for someone else. Entrepreneurs want to control their destinies and their working hours.

3. Own Business = Freedom

While the thrill of breaking out of the traditional, 40-hour work week can be a motivating factor behind starting their own business. However, in a majority of cases, the old schedules and creative limitations are exchanged with new demands. Sure, there will be more freedom in some respects, but entrepreneurism often requires great sacrifices. It can consume every part of your waking life; the work doesn’t end when the clock strikes 5 p.m.

4. You Have To Be Young

Entrepreneurship is for all ages! You can start however late or early you want. You do not have to be young to be a successful entrepreneur. A Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report found that the number of older adults who are self-employed outweighs that of young adults.

5. Entrepreneurs Have Limited Dedication

It is a common myth that entrepreneurs are not dedicated to any one thing. Dedication is an attribute that all successful entrepreneurs exhibit. They are dedicated to becoming their boss. To this end, they’ll work day and night to make their business succeed.

6. They Need To Trust Their Gut

The business world is full of stories of wealthy entrepreneurs who have achieved fame by trusting their intuition despite what other people thought.

However, the reality is far more complex. It is fundamental to listen to clients and value constructive feedback. There is always a way of improving and, sometimes, what we think of as genius ideas are not that brilliant.

7. They Are Risk Takers

The myth says that business people are addicted to taking risks, but in reality, the most successful people on the planet are very good at calculating risks.

The story of Bill Gates is a bit more complex than the entrepreneurial legend we are often been told. Bill Gates indeed dropped out of Harvard, but he did it when it was relatively safe to do so. He started selling software programs and applied for a leave of absence, which was approved by the university. Only after the initial success, did he decide to leave his studies and focus on his business.
