Mar 3, 2022

Samsung has officially confirmed that its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note, will no longer be manufactured. However, the company is not going to abandon that market niche.

Galaxy Note Discontinues

Roh Tae-moon, head of Samsung’s smartphone area, has confirmed the news in an interview with the Korean media Dailian.co.kr.

The Galaxy Note brand will no longer be used in its products. Therefore, the Note 20 will be the last device in the range. Further adding that that the “Galaxy Note will come out as Ultra” moving forward.

TM Roh, head of Samsung Electronics' MX business, said, "The Galaxy Note will come out as 'Ultra' every year from now on."

The executive said that Samsung will no longer launch a separate Note series and instead will ship all the features of the Note lineup in the Ultra model.

It is already established that the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most expensive model of the new S22 range. Its design is completely different from the rest of the range and follows the lines of the Note 20. Everything indicates that Samsung had advanced a lot in the development of the Note 21 last year, and took advantage of that work for the Ultra.

The Galaxy Note Market

The Galaxy Notes were Samsung’s most advanced phones and by extension, the Android market. They were easy to spot because of their large screen, powerful hardware, and especially the stylus that is stored inside the device itself; It was the favorite of professionals and enthusiasts, who require something more from their mobile.

This cancellation is the company’s final response to a massive request from thousands of brand fans to cancel the S22 range in order to get the Galaxy Note back. Samsung is one of the many smartphone brands that has been affected by the chip crisis, and has had to prioritize other developments such as folding phones.

All of us have seen a fair share of mind-blowing dishes on the internet. Some of these dishes look extremely tasty and make us want to have them. In contrast, some others startled us and made us question them.

Similarly, another unique recipe is doing rounds on social media, and it might be the dream of someone with a sweet tooth.

Gulab Jamun Filled Paratha Recipe

The video shows a street food vendor rolling out the dough into a roti and then placing two Gulab Jamuns in it. He crushes them and closes the roti. He rolls the stuffed roti into a paratha and places it on the hot Tawa, and fries it in lots of ghee. Once the paratha is fried perfectly, it is served with chashni (sugar syrup) poured over it.

The crispy and crunchy top of paratha dipped in sugary syrup is enough to activate your tastebuds. Meanwhile, it isn’t entirely obvious what it would taste like, which makes us wonder about the reaction of people who have tried it.

Take a look at the video below.

Faryal Mehmood Breaks Silence Sharing Details Of Her Divorce — Image source: siddysays

Faryal Mehmood has finally broken the silence and has dished the details about her much-hyped separation rumours with co-actor Daniyal Raheel. The details were shared in an all tell interview with a local agency.

Faryal Mehmood Separation Rumours

Faryal Mehmood shared all the details about her divorce stating, “I don’t want to talk about my ex-husband.”

“The reason why I didn’t want to talk about it is that it’s not just me who is involved. I don’t want to talk about my ex-husband and his family, who are also prominently involved in the media. Whatever happened between the two of us, I would never want to dish out the details of it.”

She further addressed the situation by calling out people who thrive for comments from celebrities about their personal matters.

“Why do you have to make a comment on everything? It’s our personal lives, don’t say mean things about it. Don’t say anything about him, about me, about our relationship. It happened because it was bound to happen, you know. It’s fine.”

“I left for Italy after that, it was so much fun. I was excited about the future prospects. It’s not that sad. I still get messages about how I apparently look full of remorse in my pictures. ‘Your eyes look so sad,’ people often say. And I always wonder, how is that possible because I am thriving!” She added further.

A post shared by Faryal Mehmood R. (@faryalmehmoodofficial)

Later on, she shared how people spread rumors about the divorce when, in fact, they were still together.

“But you know the funny bit? When the rumors about us separating blew up on the internet, we were actually together and fine. I was working and he was home. Nothing had happened of that sort back then. And then they just branded us as a divorced couple – I was shell shocked! I was thinking I am still married to him! What is going on?! Then people just started noticing how I had unfollowed him on Instagram. I never understood how this was a big deal? I could unfollow my brother too. Why make a fuss about it? I am impulsive.”

Their wedding was held in the middle of a lockdown in which actress Daniyal Raheel married Faryal Mehmood. Despite the fact that the couple later split, they refused to discuss it publicly. Unfollowing each other on Instagram led to the discovery. Later, they made it official.

Faryal Mehmood is often criticized for her bold fashion choices and explicit pictures. However, she doesn’t like to pay heed and do what pleases her the most.

How Mentos Is Stepping In To The Future With Its Latest Packaging

Mentos was and still is the ultimate candy and gum for children and adults alike. We still remember getting the multi-colored mentos packet and throwing all the yellow ones away. The purple ones were the best. Let’s not forget the mentos and coke challenge! However, while mentos may be nostalgic for us, the brand is stepping into the future in the best possible way. Read about their latest initiative here and why it matters!

What’s The Latest?

Mentos is now available in a recyclable bottle which is brilliant. This new packaging is a 90-percent paperboard bottle and has been created for their sustainability initiative. This new paperboard bottle which currently only has Fresh Mint and Spearmint is on everybody’s mind. It can hold 80 pieces of gum and is available at all the Walmart stores in the US.

Building Sustainability, One Gum At A Time

Mentos also wants to involve their consumers in the whole process. So, everybody who buys the packet will find recycling instructions on the paperboard bottle. This will be achieved using typical U.S. curbside services or local drop-off programs. According to Perfetti Van Melle, the name behind the brand, Mentos is the first to achieve this. Mentos becomes the first in the market in the gum category to become sustainable to this extent.

Although Walmart is the first and only U.S. retailer so far to stock the new paperboard bottle, others are interested. Perfetti Van Melle shared that it has received “high interest” from many other retailers to sell the product. Get on the bandwagon, this is the best one!

Why This Matters

This new Mentos Pure Fresh paperboard bottle is a brilliant new step in the commitment towards environmental responsibility. As companies strive to bring sustainability to the cores of their businesses, Mentos provides a great example. The mega confectioner company will also be monitoring the response to this packaging. They aim to take this beyond to innovate their packaging further. The ultimate aim is to deliver their products with the least plastic consumption, most recycling.

Such initiatives will definitely get the ball rolling. Other gum brands might already be considering this shift and Mentos will be the final decisive push. This is also because people today prefer sustainability over anything!

Jeep’s First Fully Electric SUV To Make Its Debut In 2023

Jeep's First Fully Electric SUV To Make Its Debut In 2023 — Image Source: Business Insider

Jeep will launch its first fully electric SUV early in 2023. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares announced the news during the automaker’s Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan presentation.

Jeep has been slower to embrace electrification as compared to many of its rivals. The automaker has released plug-in hybrid versions of its Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs. Meanwhile, the plans of an off-roading version of the Grand Cherokee, the Trailhawk, which also comes with a hybrid motor are also in the line.

Electric SUV -The Look

It features signature Jeep traits like a seven-section grille and aggressive, bulky look. The SUV’s rear door handles are placed up by the window, rather than in the conventional spot.

The brand’s signature seven-slot grille, will be the same feature. However, the grille is closed since there’s no gasoline engine under the hood.

The yet-to-be-named SUV seems to be on the smaller side of the Jeep Compass or Renegade but we won’t know its size for sure until the company releases more information.

#StellantisDareForward: we are thrilled to present the Jeep® brand’s first-ever fully #electric #SUV launching in early 2023. @Jeep pic.twitter.com/S7A1xz1N7P

— Stellantis (@Stellantis) March 1, 2022

Details like range, horsepower, and price are also a question mark at this point. Stellantis did not specify where the EV will be sold when it launches early next year, and a spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.

The Jeep Lineup

Serious efforts to electrify the Jeep lineup started last year with the Wrangler 4xe, a plug-in hybrid variant of the iconic Wrangler offering approximately 35 kilometres of EV range thanks to a 17.3kWh battery.

The next-generation Grand Cherokee is also getting the 4xe treatment in North America, while the smaller Renegade and Compass are already available as plug-in hybrids over in Europe.

7 Foods You Should Have More Of If You Are Diabetic

7 Foods To Have If You Are Diabetic — Image source: healthmagazine.com

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a chronic disorder. It occurs when the pancreas does not secrete enough insulin or when the body’s cells become resistant to insulin. In either case, the blood sugar cannot get into the cells for storage, leading to severe complications. Diabetes, perhaps more than any other disease, is strongly associated with the diet.

While diabetes in this country is rising quickly, many risk factors, including heavyweight, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, can be reduced by choosing a healthier overall diet. Certain foods are beneficial in giving you more control over the condition – or avoiding diabetes altogether.

1. Barley

If you’ve been you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes; you may think you need to stay away from carb-rich grains altogether if you want to keep your blood sugar levels under control. But some grains are pretty low on the glycemic index (GI), thanks to their high fiber content. Barley has a GI score of only 28, putting it deep into the “low GI” range. In addition to reduced blood glucose levels, barley may also help improve insulin sensitivity.

Image source: https://universityhealthnews.com/

2. Lentils

Just a half-cup of lentils will give you almost eight grams of fiber. That’s more than you get from a cup of brown rice. Fiber is a true friend because it can lower your blood glucose level – as well as your bad cholesterol while making you feel full. The insoluble fiber, in particular, seems to decrease the risk of diabetes.

3. Sourdough Bread

Tangy sourdough bread dough is fermented from wild yeast and bacteria cultures. Sourdough bread is lower on the glycemic index than regular wheat bread, so it’s a better choice if you want to avoid sugar spikes after your sandwiches. The acid produced by the bacteria also helps keep the bread fresher longer.

4. Peanut Butter

Nuts are known to reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, so you can’t go wrong on almonds, walnuts, and pistachios. High-protein peanuts are another good pick because they’re low on the glycemic index and packed with nutrients.

5. Cinnamon

Adding a little spice to your meals doesn’t just enhance the flavor — it may also help you better manage your diabetes. Cinnamon, in particular, has demonstrated some impressive benefits. Studies found that consuming 1 to 6 grams per day of cinnamon significantly impacted subjects’ glucose levels. However, use cinnamon in moderation. Adding cinnamon to everything you eat can lower your blood sugar levels too much, causing potentially life-threatening hypoglycemia.

Image source: https://taazameatonline.com/

6. Greens

Leafy green vegetables are highly nutritious and low in calories. Spinach, kale, and other leafy greens are good sources of many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C. Some evidence suggests that people with diabetes have lower vitamin C levels than people without diabetes, and they may have more critical vitamin C requirements. Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant and also has anti-inflammatory qualities. Increasing dietary intake of vitamin C-rich foods can help people with diabetes improve their serum vitamin C levels while reducing inflammation and cellular damage.

7. Eggs

Regular egg consumption may reduce your heart disease risk in several ways. Eggs may decrease inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, increase your HDL (good) cholesterol levels, and modify the size and shape of your LDL (bad) cholesterol. Research has linked egg consumption with heart disease in people with diabetes.

TRG Pakistan Plummets While Others Remain In The Green

By

Mar 2, 2022

PSX has been deadly for stock investors and companies as it continues to decline. The Russia-Ukraine war and other financial instabilities within the country have resulted in mega losses. However, we doubt any could be as major as TRJ’s recent loss which is 4 times greater than its profit last year. Here’s what’s going down:

What Happened?

TRJ Pakistan Ltd has recently shared a loss of Rs12.6 billion for October-December. This is a major point of contention in comparison to its net profit of Rs3.6bn, same time last year.

According to stock analysts, the significant loss was experienced because of a net loss on investment in TRGIL. TRGIL is an associate company and its loss was estimated to be that of Rs14.8bn. The report published suggests, “This was due to (the) mark-to-market of investment in IBEX after its share price slid down by 34pc during October-December, resulting in a loss of Rs6.8bn,” it said.

TRJ is one of the most popular stocks on PSX hence, its major decline has shaken many.

PSX’s Decline

PSX is more volatile than most markets especially because it operates for a third-world economy. Pakistan is riddled with political conflicts, unfoldings and also impacted by other global events. As a result, PSX is always been influenced – nowadays mostly negatively – which is bringing in unprecedented losses.

In February alone, PSX lost 1,200 points.

Unity Foods Is On The Rise

Another company, however, is in the green. Unity Foods Ltd posted an unconsolidated profit of Rs1.1bn for the last quarter which was 20pc greater than the same time last year. The total revenues of the company now stand at Rs20bn. Investors are suggesting that the major reason behind this increase is inventory gains. The company’s oil procurement price was quite low.

BankIslami Profits Continue To Rise

Not all stocks are experiencing a fate the same as TRJ. BankIslami Pakistan Ltd reported its earnings for 2021. They were reported to be Rs2.1bn, up 25.1pc from the same time last year.

The retention of profits is being credited to an improvement in its deposit base. In addition to it, the earning assets of the bank also showed growth. Islamic financing increased 39.2pc while the investments registered a growth of 31.1pc. These factors overall contributed to BankIslami’s strong performance.

Tariq Road Bridal Studios: Different Price For Every Customer?

There is no wedding season really when it comes to Pakistan. You will see weddings happening all year round. Of course, when there is a wedding, there is also the hunt for the perfect dress for the bride. While any business remotely linked to the wedding industry will flourish none does quite as much as the bridal dress designers. The bridal studios at Tariq Road are the topic of today’s discussion, however.

In a recent online interaction with a certain bridal studio at Tariq Road, a customer got the price quote of PKR 375,000 for a dress. But when the customer visited the shop the very next day, the price quoted became PKR 400,000. All that was different was that the customer was present and the shopkeeper could gauge their appearance. Upon referring to the online conversation, the owner moved away to assist other customers while the salesperson refuse to attend to them. Such is the case with almost every studio at Tariq Road!

Bridal Studios – Tariq Road

Tariq Road is geographically at a prime location. It caters to people from all over Karachi (or as we say, from both sides of the bridge). This is why you will find a variety of bridal dress outlets in this market. This variety is spread out on the basis of the quality of work and to the price bracket. As a result, people who need to buy the dress for PKR 35,000 can also get to this part of Karachi, as well as those who need to boast that they bought the dress for PKR 800,000.

“Designer Studios”

The designer studios are usually found at the main Tariq road, almost in front of the Dolmen Mall. These alleged designer studios have their price range almost similar to the designers catering to the rich. They will start quoting the price from PKR 3.5 lac. If you even ask for a price below that or ask them to bargain, they will look at you with the dirtiest of stares. But the fact of the matter is that they do not follow the ethical guidelines either.

Since there is no standard price for a particular design, the ‘designers’ are free to quote whatever price they want. And they don’t shy away from it. As a customer enters, they see if they will signal the customer to the basement where they do their actual business. If the person entering looks like a potential customer they will quote the price they want but if they do not see the person completing their checklist, they quote a higher price for the person to move on.

Preying on the mindsets of the middle class who feels it is necessary to have a brand tag attached; becoming attractive to the rich with their price range and Instagram following; these studios are making money left, right, and center. While this may be their right, their business model is sure inducing anxiety in many people hoping to get married in today’s times.

To help with this, the park’s iconic characters are being brought to flights. Characters that we have all grown up with like Scooby-Doo and Looney Tunes are found on new activity packs. These fun and nostalgic activity packs will be given to children on longer flights with Etihad.

There Are Many Age Ranges

You might be thinking that this is something already done. So, what’s new? What has changed is that the airline’s new children’s gifts are designed in three age ranges. There is the smallest age range which is for infants up to 2 years old. In this, parents will be given a soft fleece blanket decorated with the faces of the characters.

Besides this, there will be the young flyers range which is for travelers aged 3 to 8 years. They will be given a drawstring bag which will include an activity book, crayons, memory card game, and passport holder.

Lastly, the tweens and teens aged between 9 to 13 will be provided with a Scooby-Doo-themed backpack. This backpack will be featuring the Museum of Mysteries board game to promote Yas World in Abu Dhabi.

Support For Families

In addition to these inflight changes, Etihad has a lot more planned for families. Etihad is will be initiating a better family experience through cabin crew and ground crew. This will be done through special training to identify and support family travel needs to enhance experiences. At Abu Dhabi International Airport, a new and special family check-in space will be available for families.

NFTs have taken the world by storm. Be it the fashion world, wall street, or the corporate sector, everything is now being NFT-ified. While you may or may not be aware of the concept yet, USA is going above and beyond with the metaverse creation. New York has become the first place to get NFT vending machines. Here’s what you need to know:

What Happened?

The American company Neon that brought this initiative to life is an NFT marketplace. It is also a gallery built on the Solana blockchain. The company is known to be one of the fastest and most environmentally friendly in its sector.

So how does the vending machine work? The idea is basically that all passers-by can get their NFTs using their normal credit cards.

What Is The Reason Behind It?

This platform wanted to democratize access to NFTs. Before such initiatives, NFTs could be only accessible to the elite or the ultra-technologically capable people. This vending machine by the Neon crypto startup brings it to everyone.

Their mission is to set up NFT ATMs in the entire Manhattan Financial District. This also ensures that you do not need a cryptocurrency wallet to purchase an NFT.

How To Buy One?

The process is simple. Once you decide which one you want, you can insert your card. You will then receive a box containing a unique code with which you can “activate” your NFT. If you would like to get more, know that the ATM will be open for 24 hours.

The Larger Purpose

This vending machine also does a lot more than just make NFTs accessible. It allows young artists and designers to make money from their work. By allowing purchase from normal and accessible forms of payment, the NFTs become more popular in the mainstream.

The NPU and its advanced in-house algorithms, including AINR, deliver a leap in computational photography performance. With MariSilicon X, the Find X5 Series is the first flagship smartphone series capable of capturing clear 4K Ultra Night Video that can rival what is seen by the human eye.

Beyond the phone itself, OPPO has turned its attention to the entire customer experience. Find X5 Series owners will have access to OPPO’s premium International Warranty Service, which can be used at over 2,500 service centers in 62 countries and regions worldwide.

A standout flagship, driven by OPPO’s human-centric insights

The design of the Find X5 Series reflects every aspect of the user experience. Built with advanced manufacturing technology, the curved and continuous ceramic back panel is anti-fingerprint and comfortable to hold while also providing greater protection and heat dissipation.

OPPO’s thoughtful consideration of its users is also manifested in ColorOS 12.1, which includes features such as the O Relax digital relaxation suite and Color Vision Enhancement for those who perceive color differently or have color vision impairments.

With the new Find X5 Series, OPPO is breaking new ground in technological innovation and human-centric user experience in the high-end market while sticking to its core values — a trait that OPPO will maintain as it continues to explore new possibilities in technology and products that help make life better for users worldwide.

Aamir Liaquat’s Latest Post

If there is one thing Aamir Liaquat is good at, it is how to stir controversy again his ex-wives.

A post shared by Aamir Liaquat Husain (@iamaamirliaquat)

“My son #ahmedaamirsonofaamir, but you will not see this hashtag because his mother grew up with this tag #ahmedaamirsonofbushraaamir. Now you can imagine the mental creation. No one in this world can claim that ‘she is Hazrat Maryam’ without man. Women cannot be able to be called herself a ‘Mother’. That’s all.” He captioned the post.

Are Single Mothers A Myth?

The statement isn’t just insensible but also wrong on so many levels. Being an Islamic scholar, how can someone use an Islamic occasion to compare it to their misery? Moreover, women all over the world who are single and raising kids are doing it all without a man in their lives. So, apparently, it isn’t impossible.

The MNA and popular host have two children with his first wife, Syeda Bushra. At the same time, the kids have asked the public to refrain from commenting on their personal lives.

What are your thoughts on the above statement? Let us know in the comments below.
