Do You Know Why Persian Rugs Are So Expensive? — Image Source: Rug Cleaning

Persian carpets are an indulgence and will be found in almost every home. But have you ever wondered about the history and making of this amazing piece of history and decoration? Read all about its details and intricacies with us!

What Are Persian Rugs?

Persian rugs are hand woven with the finest materials including wool and silk. They originate from Iran and initially began as a way for Iranians to keep their heritage and history alive. These Persian rugs can take years or even decades to become finished products. There’s also a myth that carpet weavers in Iran can be distinguished by their bent backs.

The authentic Persian carpets and the traditional methods of producing them all began in Iran. In actuality, each Persian rug is regarded as a piece of art that reflects the history and culture of Iran.

What Are They Made Of?

Traditionally, Persian rugs are made from sheep’s wool. The wool is boiled, spun, and dyed by hand. The bright and vivid colors you see on it are also not artificial! They are elaborate yarns that are dyed with natural colorings from plants and insects.

A common highly-detailed Persian silk rug can have over 1,000 knots per square inch. Each knot is a meticulous task and there are several types of Persian rugs. There’s one type that has to be knotted from bottom up which leaves its weavers with terrible backs!

The Most Expensive Rug Ever Sold and How To Make Them

The most expensive Persian rug ever bought was a 17th-century Persian vase-style carpet. It was recently sold at auction in June 2013 in London for a whopping $33.8 million.

People say that there is no formula to make a Persian rug. The philosophy is to “feel this with your flesh, skin, and bones.” It is also said that “someone who weaves a good Qashqai carpet, for example, cannot weave a good Tabriz carpet. Or the one who weaves a superb Tabriz carpet cannot weave a good Isfahan carpet.”

Is Using Your Phone Causing Injuries? Here’s What You Need To Know

Aug 15, 2022

Health care professionals have warned regarding the grave consequences of excessive smartphone usage. According to the data, the patients reporting neck, joint, and muscle ailments are at an all-time high. Smartphone-related injuries have gone viral over recent years. The smartphone pinky is the most common amongst them.

Orthopaedic surgeon Peter J. Evans, MD, PhD, says, “Constant cellphone use can cause a range of joint problems. While some claims of injury might be overstated, others are real and involve serious, long-term damage.”

Injuries Associated With Smartphone Usage

A study reported that bending the head, neck, and shoulders over cell phones and handheld devices, along with distorted neck positioning when sitting, studying, and watching television, can lead to incrementally increased stresses in the cervical spine area.

The positions and movements caused by these devices cause undue damage and strain to the muscles and joints that aren’t used to staying in that position for a long time.

Take a look at some of the common smartphone-associated injuries.

Forward Head Posture

Poor head posture, also known as ‘Text Neck’, has become one of the major problems with people extending their necks beyond their shoulders for texting. The increased muscle tension increases the chances of nerve pinching and slipping the disk. People holding these positions for a long time will eventually see their posture degenerating with a curvature of the neck bending over time.

Texting Thumb Injuries

Synovium is the tissue surrounding the tendons. Studies have linked tenosynovitis of the thumb, called De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, to frequent smartphone use. Phone use could also worsen symptoms among people who already have arthritis.

Tendons are strong bands of tissue that form the scaffolding for the muscles and bones. The tendons travel from the forearm across the wrist to the thumb. The tendons pass through a narrow tunnel that helps keep them in place, ending at the base of the thumb. The repetitive motion injury due to texting can lead to increased strain in the tendons which can worsen over time.

Smartphone Pinky

While the so-called smartphone pinkie isn’t an established condition, it’s possible that using your pinkie to hold the weight of your phone could cause problems over time. It is characterized by a widening gap between the ring and the pinky finger. The online images of smartphone pinky show a variation in anatomy. However, this can be subjective and does not highlight a severe problem.

According to Dr. Evans, “It’s also possible that people who think they have smartphone pinky could have an underlying condition. Supporting your phone with your pinky could compress a nerve in your finger. Over time, you could experience pain, numbness or tingling.”

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Frequent phone use can also affect the nerves. When we hold our phones in front of us with our elbows bent, we compress the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck to the hand. This constriction can cause numbness and weakness in the pinky and ring fingers. Over time bending your elbow causes traction and places pressure on your ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel. Repeated elbow bending can cause long-term nerve damage. This condition can also mimic a smartphone pinky; hence if you are facing issues, the underlying problem might be due to your elbows.

How To Lessen The Strain

Downsizing to a small phone can solve most of the problems. Using the voice-to-text option to reduce the strain on fingers can also help the pain to dissipate quickly. Using phone grips and stands to reduce the pressure on your neck and hand joints can also aid in pain resolution.

However, if you’re experiencing a lot of pain, it’s a good idea to see a physical therapist or a doctor, such as an orthopedist or a physical medicine specialist, as they can recommend treatments and stretches. The key is to catch these things early. They don’t tend to become chronic.

Aug 12, 2022

Behind every successful business there is an army of loyal fans lending their support for its endeavors. For realme, the strong presence of its fans has always been felt in every step of the journey to grow to the heights that the smartphone brand has reached now. realme aims to maintain a certain level of transparency with its community of fans. Having them be aware of how realme operates, what goes into the making of realme devices, as well as realme’s core values is highly important in developing the tech democratizer’s relationship with its fan community.

For this reason, realme decided to pull back the curtain on Wednesday, 10^th August 2022 during its 828 Fan Fest celebrations and took a group of select fans to their assembly plant on the outskirts of the city of Lahore. This inside look was followed by an exciting hi-tea and bowling session at the bowling alley, Uptown LA. This Fan Meet up presented a wonderful opportunity for realme fans to mingle with each other and get to know the people in the community as well as familiarize themselves with the faces behind their favorite technology brand.

Fans gathered at realme Headquarters in Lahore at noon on Wednesday after which they were loaded into buses provided by realme to take them to the assembly plant. While on the bus, realme fans and employees took part in various, engaging ice breaker activities to set the mood for the remainder of the day and dispel any inhibitions that fans may have about socializing freely. Once they arrived at the assembly plant, they were taken inside to get a breakdown about how realme devices are made. The functionality of the plant was explained while the fans were taken through the production process of realme phones from start to finish. Fans even got to witness the testing machinery in action as they marveled at the durability of realme phones during the drop test, scratch test, and more.

After exploring the factory to their heart’s content, the fan community was loaded into buses again to be taken to the final venue of the realme Fan Meet up – Uptown LA. The venue was decked out in realme décor to welcome the fan community with grandeur. Once at the venue, the community was greeted by the Country Director of realme, Syed Mashood Hassan, who delivered an inspiring welcome speech thanking the fans for their unwavering support during both smooth times and turbulent times and emphasizing the fan-centric approach of realme’s operations. A cake cutting ceremony was held with the participation of realme fans and employees to share the celebration. The floor was then opened for the community to hit the bowling lanes and roll out a new high score. A hi-tea buffet was also provided for fans to indulge in as they enjoyed their games. Each attendee of the realme Fan Meet up also left the event with their own personal goodie bag of giveaways.

While this may have been the first realme Fan Meet up of its kind, it certainly won’t be the last. As a brand, realme prioritizes getting to know its consumers so that it can cater to their interests as best as possible. However, it is equally as important that realme’s fans get to know the company on a deeper level to better understand the efforts they are making for them in the market as well as to acquaint them with the human faces behind the brand. Events such as these are essential touch points to deepen pre-existing bonds between a brand and its fans. Stay tuned for more exciting updates regarding realme Fan Fest activities throughout the month of August.

Pakistan’s mountaineer Naila Kiani has successfully summited the world’s 11^th highest mountain, Gasherbrum 1 (G1) today. She becomes the first local woman to summit three 8000+ metre mountain peaks – G1, Gasherbrum 2 (G2) and K2 – in her first attempt. Naila was part of an expedition consisting of people who started their ascent towards G1’s peak.

Symbolizing empowered, strong, and resilient female athletes, Naila is a banker by profession and a mountaineering enthusiast. G1 was her second challenge of the year having previously summited K2 on 22^nd July. Through her successful expeditions, the female mountaineer has inspired women across the country while promoting gender equality in the sports community.

“This was one of the most difficult tasks I have undertaken in my life and it has only been my passion for adventure sports and mountaineering that drove me to achieve this,” exclaimed Naila after her successful summit. “I’m humbled by the constant faith my nation and especially the mountain climbing community has shown in my efforts. The BARD Foundation has served as my guiding light through this time. Their unconditional support of my endeavors is a testament to their noble vision of enabling Pakistani sports enthusiasts.”

Bilquis and Abdul Razak Dawood (BARD) Foundation, is Naila Kiani’s official sponsor.

Congratulating Naila on making the record books yet again, Razak Dawood, Chairman BARD Foundation, stated, “Naila embodies the spirit of Pakistan’s greats, the work ethic, the desire to give of herself and of her heart, and the love of victory. With each successful climb, she etches her name in history, inspires countless other young girls, and makes our country great. Naila’s monumental feat to summit the Gasherbrum I right after K2 summit inspires the Foundation to continue supporting young talent, with opportunities to excel in athletics and sports. Naila’s success is proof of the tenacity women possess to achieve anything they set their minds to.”

A Dubai-based banker by profession, and a mother of two, Naila is also a trained boxer, a mountaineer, and an adventure enthusiast. In 2021, she set a record by becoming the first Pakistani woman to climb Gasherbrum-II (8,035 meters), the world’s thirteenth highest mountain. Naila also was one of the only two Pakistani female mountaineers to stand atop the world’s second highest peak, the mighty K2, and the first Pakistani woman to achieve this feat in the first attempt. She was presented with an award in December 2021 by the President of Pakistan in acknowledgement of her achievements and contributions to mountaineering.

BARD Foundation is a human-development initiative, founded by the renowned industrialist & technocrat Abdul Razak Dawood and his philanthropist wife Mrs. Bilquis Dawood. The foundation carries a deep vision to promote and facilitate local athletes and sportspersons in order to highlight their talent and true potential across the world. BARD resonates with Naila’s dream to influence the women of Pakistan to run after their dreams, to realise their potential and achieve their goals.

Samsung Electronics has unveiled two new phones that have impressed the Samsung audience and are going to make a big impact on the industry. Read all about the new releases and why it’s going to be on your wish list.

What’s New?

Samsung has announced its latest high-end foldable smartphones. The best part about them is that they’re keeping prices at the same level as last year’s. The strategy has been put in place in order to strengthen its entry into a very competitive market.

The smartphone giant has priced its clamshell Galaxy Z Flip4 at $999.99 which is not that bad considering where other phones’ prices have gone. Alternatively, they have priced the 5G-enabled top-line Galaxy Z Fold4 with a 7.6-inch main screen to start at $1,799.99. These prices are applicable in the United States. You can also check, the prices are the same as last year’s!

What Have They Said?

TM Roh, the President and Head of Mobile Experience at Electronics has said some brilliant things about the new launch. Roh added that, “We’ve successfully transformed this category from a radical project to a mainstream device lineup enjoyed by millions worldwide”.

The release date of Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 and the new earbuds, Galaxy Buds2 Pro will be released on August 26th across stores. The countries where it will be released are selected, namely the United States, parts of Europe, and South Korea.

The Growing Demand

The Counterpoint Research suggests that global shipments of foldable smartphones will grow to 16 million units this year alone. This is a huge jump from the 9 million units shipped last year. The demand is also not expected to slow down, making Samsung the leading company to capture the demand.

The market, however, was expected to shrink. This is because consumers were showing reduced spending patterns due to global inflation. However, foldable smartphones are likely to fare better as they offer more at much lesser prices.

Do you think you’re going to be purchasing the Samsung foldables? Let us know in the comments below.

Aug 12, 2022

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has begun a new WhatsApp privacy campaign by announcing three new upcoming features. The new features arriving on WhatsApp will include blocking people from taking screenshots of a photo or video when you’ve used the existing ‘view once’ feature to share it, exit group chats without notifying everyone, and controlling who can see when you’re online.

The new features were announced by WhatsApp Head, Will Cathcart, and Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, on Tuesday, August 9.

Last Seen Status

While earlier, users could only hide their ‘last seen status, the new feature now allows you to hide your ‘online’ indicator or choose whom you want to share the position with. You can either completely hide the last seen online status from everyone, only unknown numbers, specific contacts, or from nobody. The feature will add a new ‘who can see when I’m online’ option under the last seen settings, with two options – ‘everyone’ and ‘same as last seen.’

Leave Groups Silently

Users can now leave group chats silently, without WhatsApp showing a ‘person left the group’ alert on the chat. The app alerts all group chat members to someone leaving or being removed by default. With the new feature, WhatsApp will only notify the group admin about a user leaving the group.

Viewed Once

The ‘view once’ messages allow users to send media files that are only viewable once. However, these still allowed people to take screenshots of the media file. Now, WhatsApp has added a screenshot blocking feature on ‘view once’ messages that will enable users to stop people from taking screenshots of their images.

As the campaign unfolds, we expect to hear more about existing and planned WhatsApp privacy features.

What are your thoughts about these features? Let us know in the comments below.

As Pakistan’s Independence Day is right around the corner, we find ourselves mesmerized by many campaigns. Brands work around the clock to produce influential and impactful campaigns that make us feel patriotic whilst putting their brand identity forward. As the 2022 Azaadi day approaches, let’s have a look at the best Azaadi campaigns we have seen so far.

Habib Metro

Habib Metro has knocked it out of the ballpark with their 2022 Azaadi campaign. They have made a short film capturing the scenes of partition from 1946 till the present day. They follow Habib Metro’s journey since before and how it has evolved with time to help Pakistanis empower themselves. The short film will steal your heart.

Oreo Pakistan

Oreo always has gone all out for this Independence Day. They’ve made some brilliant illustrations using their cookies to rope in the Pakistani crowd. Be it by building Pakistan step by step with their Oreos or by making chaand sitara with the cookies– they have done it all. Oreo’s Azaadi day campaign definitely deserves applause.

Peek Freans

Peek Freans also pulled out the big guns. After all, it is Pakistan’s most popular bakery and biscuits brand. Their latest release— the Sooper soft cakes— have taken Pakistanis by storm. It comes as no surprise then that the Azaadi campaign by Peek Freans features the soft cakes making Minar-e-Pakistan.

Brighto Paints

Brighto Paints put on their creative and nostalgic hats when it came to designing their Azaadi campaign for 2022. They rounded up all the important and influential personalities of Pakistan who have made sacrifices for Pakistan and have also made some contributions that have taken the country forward. Arfa Kareem, M.M Alam, and others take the centre stage in this campaign.

Cynergyico

Cynergyico made the most heartwarming video ever as their azaadi campaign. Their video sheds light on how Pakistanis always find a way to move past the negativity and connect with each other. It shows people helping each other and lifting them up which is such an important message in the current sociopolitical climate! Definitely a win.

The way you use a smart band has changed and here is why you would need a larger display and longer battery life

Aug 11, 2022

Remember a time where smart bands used to be just a thin band that was tightly wound around your wrist? Those with a small monochrome display or a set of LED indicators, or some without either? Those were the days when a smart band served just a few main purposes, keeping track of fitness or few notification alerts. However in today’s connected world we demand a lot more from our trusty wearables, leading to strong health management features and even larger displays with longer battery life. While some of these features are more commonly found on smartwatches, smart bands usually tend to struggle a bit here. This is where Huawei’s newly launched HUAWEI Band 6 comes into play with all of the smartwatch-like features, packed into its more affordable smart band body enabling it do a lot more than just a band.

But let’s look at what exactly we do differently with our smart bands today. For starters, with more attention being paid to the overall health and fitness, it is more convenient to access this data on the display of the smartwatch itself, as opposed to using a separate app every time. For example if you want to keep an eye on your important health indicators, such as blood oxygen levels (SpO2) at all times. With the HUAWEI Band 6, not only do you get a constant monitoring of these factors, but you can also view it in its large 1.47 inch AMOLED display.

Speaking of large displays, the HUAWEI Band 6’s display sets it apart from other smart bands: the overall large size allows for more screen space and an immersive experience. This means you can view all your notifications, health and fitness alerts and more on your smart band itself, all while not having to spend the extra money for a full-fledged smartwatch.

Another feature that you are going to depend on is battery life: While some of us leave devices charging over night or charge them only when needed, there is the risk of forgetting to charge it entirely. Huawei solves this pain point with a long lasting battery life on the HUAWEI Band 6, which can last for two whole weeks on a single charge. Basically this means you don’t need to charge it as much as other devices and you are always ready to go!

However, even with all these changes, the core purpose of a smart band doesn’t change, which is in fact its fitness tracking capabilities: HUAWEI Band 6 packs in 96 workout modes that are automatically detected and tracked to get accurate data during performance. Huawei also includes the HUAWEI TruSport^TM algorithm, which deeply analyzes your exercise capabilities and provides detailed assessments such giving you a more comprehensive report of your progress.

With users today depending more on their wearable devices for being on top of their health and everyday alerts, it is no surprise that key features like display and battery life play a vital role. While smartwatches usually have these features, their price point can make it a costly affair. The alternative is smart bands, which lack said features. However, with the HUAWEI Band 6, you get all the features you would see in a smartwatch, but for the more affordable price of a smart band, making it much more accessible for everyone.
