Have you seen a sudden influx of social media posts featuring green, yellow, and gray boxes? Welcome to Wordle, the internet’s favorite new word game. While the boxes might not look like a word game at first, they represent how well a player did on the day’s puzzle, without giving away the solution.

Want to get in on the action yourself and see if you can guess the right word? Use this guide that includes tips and tricks to get started right away.

1. Pick The First Word Carefully

The most important tip is to pick your first word carefully. According to Tyler Glaiel, who ran all the numbers to find the perfect starting word, the best first words are ROATE and RAISE. On average, you can get the correct answer within three guesses when using either of those words.

However, since Wordle solutions are usually only commonly used words (not off the wall Scrabble words like “syzygy”), ROATE probably won’t ever be the unicorn first guess answer. RAISE, on the other hand, could be.

2. Play Around With Vowels

You’re not going to run into a Wordle without at least one vowel. So, make sure your first word includes at least a few vowels, especially “a,” “i,” and “e” as these are the most commonly used vowels.

3. Play Past Puzzles

While there’s only one puzzle per day, if you didn’t start playing from day one, there are some archived puzzles to take advantage of. This helps you build your own strategy. Wordle Archive lets you play all the past puzzles in one place.

4. Choose Between Default and Hard Mode

You might not realize there’s a Hard mode if you’ve never clicked the Settings icon at the top-right corner. To add an extra layer of difficulty, Hard mode makes you use any hints you’ve been given in subsequent answers. This means you can just guess another random word to get more hints. Your next guess must incorporate all hints you’ve received thus far.

5. Skip Grey Letters

This might sound obvious, but one of the best Wordle tips is to just avoid using any gray letters. However, remember if a letter turns green or yellow, you could still have a duplicate of that letter. For instance, if you guessed “CHILD” and everything turned green except the “D,” the solution could be “CHILL.”

Kinetic Pakistan, the Pakistan division of Kinetic, a global OOH company that falls under the umbrella of WPP Holdings, recently revealed a new identity for the brand with a new logo in a recent event in Lahore. The new logo has been introduced after a span of five years.

Keith ‘Kappy’ Kaplan, CEO, Kinetic Global online revealed the new identity through projection on the wall of a building located opposite Kinetic Pakistan head office in Lahore, and shared his vision on the future of Kinetic and OOH.

Talking about the relaunch, Ahsan Sheikh, CEO, Kinetic Pakistan, said the new logo is inspired by the top view of a billboard projection: the left line resembles the billboard and the waves on the right is the Kinetic energy projecting outwards. “At the same time, the perspective view resembles the shape of a ‘K’ for ‘Kinetic’. The logo also reflects the skyline and how Kinetic is changing it.”

According to Sheikh, since the OOH media industry is evolving at a rapid pace with new technologies, systems, and methods of doing business, Kinetic believes it is essential to stay ahead of the curve and keep our identity up to date according to the environment. He said, “Along with the logo, our tagline has also changed to ‘We Build Brands Out of Home.”

Dove’s Latest Campaign Sheds Light On Beauty Standards

Dove's Latest Campaign Sheds Light On Beauty Standards — Image Source: Vimeo

Have you ever posted a selfie without editing it? None of us has been spared by the tempting world of filters and editors. We all have at least a few pictures in our album with filters the social media has to offer. But the question is who is the one to come up with the idea and why have we given into it?

A similar question was raised by Dove in its latest campaign. They asked young, Chinese women, whether they would post a picture on social media without a filter and the answer is an overwhelming ‘No’.

“The pressure to present an ideal image online is tearing down the self-esteem of girls across China,” further adding.

My Beauty, My Say

The campaign “My Beauty, My Say” includes a five-minute video. Documenting some young Chinese women who shared their personal stories about their appearance.

Throughout the five-minute film, they reveal that “posting non-beauty filtered pictures is like stripping online”, while also discussing their beauty anxiety and which parts of their face and bodies they prefer to alter before sharing them online.

Take a look at the video below.

“When confronted with childhood pictures of themselves, the film takes an emotional turn when the women realize that their younger selves didn’t need nor want any photo filters. When asked if they would like to be part of a photoshoot and post entirely unedited pictures of themselves, they’re initially reluctant but eventually agree.”

Testimonial From The Vice President

“For over 60 years, Dove has advocated for real beauty, representing beauty as it is in real life,” said aid Alessandro Manfredi, Executive Vice President at Dove Brand.

“With the advancement in mobile technologies and applications, digital distortion is now happening on a much bigger scale. The selfie beautification apps have profoundly changed how we look at ourselves and each other.”

The campaign notes that so many apps are available that easily allow image-altering capabilities that once were reserved for photoshop. The social pressure of always looking your best online has triggered more people in general. It isn’t related to celebrities and influencers only to alter characteristics and our appearances that we believe are flaws.”

“We see so much creativity and expression of self-identity through the use of filters and editing apps. However, these apps are used to digitally distort images to conform to narrow beauty standards. With women, in particular, feeling the pressure to edit and distort themselves to create something ‘ideal’ which cannot be achieved in real life,” added Manfredi.

Another loved and revered musician and celebrity has been accused of sexual harassment in the latest news. Ali Noor of Noori has been in the headlines after those who were abused by him have started speaking up. This powerful and brave move on the part of these women is, however, being rather ridiculed by the singer himself. Here’s what he’s doing and why it’s so common:

What Happened?

A woman spoke up against Ali Noor on social media. She posted screenshots of what she had sent to him after which she blocked him. The message contains mention of sexual harassment, another incident in which Ali Noor himself was about to die. The woman was then approached by Ali Noor through his wife’s phone and the apology was simply a lame one. Here’s how he apologised:

Rooh Afza is not just a drink it’s a mood. And what’s better than Rooh Afza? Probably nothing. That one glass of the cold beverage added with a bit of lime hits like a rock in hot weather. Meanwhile, someone didn’t want to sit still and even brought Rooh Afza into the mix. Wondering what’s the matter? Keep reading.

Rooh Afza Chai

A new video is circulating on the internet which features chai, which has not been received very well by the netizens.

The video was shared on Instagram by an Indian-based food blogger. The video goes in fast motion starting with the tea vendor pouring a packet of milk in the utensil. He then pours Rooh Afza in the utensil while the tea boils. Finally, after some time the tea is made, and the food blogger is seen taking the first sip and instantly regrets it. He then proceeds to throw the Rooh Afza tea on the ground. The caption of the video read, “Lo Karlo Baat.”

A post shared by CHATORE_BROOTHERS (@chatore_broothers)

Netizens React

As soon as the video was posted online the netizens started posting hilarious and mean comments. Till now the clip has garnered 2.2 million views and thousands of comments.

While many questioned the vendor for selling the chai, the majority of people started bashing the blogger for his crude behaviour as he threw the tea straight out of his glass on the road.

Meanwhile, many wondered about the blogger’s decision to try the tea in the first place.

Here are some of the comments from the post.

Rooh Afza is best paired with milk and water. Meanwhile, the sound of pairing it with tea doesn’t seem absurd. However, given the reactions of the public and the blogger; it is best if we stay away from it.

What are your thoughts about trying the tea? Let us know in the comments below.

6 Extracurricular Skills That Pakistanis Can Turn Into A Side Business

Feb 21, 2022

To further your primary career, you can take a ton of courses. However, focusing too much on it can get you frustrated. Hence, to relieve stress, you can venture into learning various extracurricular skills. The best part about it is that not only will you be able to get your mind off of the usual pressure, but also make it a side business that you can run from, let’s say, Instagram.

Below are a few extracurricular skills that you can acquire.

1. Voiceover

By learning voiceover, you will have scope in animated entertainment projects and dubbed projects, as well as tutorials and TVC. You will need to learn the skill because having a good voice does not mean you can do voiceover. Especially if you are thinking of doing voiceover for dramas and films, you also need to be good at acting.

2. Calligraphy

People are beginning to get interested in art. Anything beautiful, and they want it. Hence, if you do learn the art of calligraphy, start posting your work online.

People will get interested. Not only individuals but other businesses as well who want to showcase innovation in their advertising messages.

3. Pottery

Imagine the cathartic feeling as you get your hands muddled with clay. And once you excel at it, start putting it up on Instagram. Additionally, you could also give tutorial classes. People are more willing to pay to small businesses online than to the shops.

4. Painting

These days, people hire painters to beautify their streets. Moreover, they also buy paintings from budding artists. By learning the skill of painting, you can relieve the stress of being a corporate slave. And the end product can also be sold online.

5. Candle-Making

Another skill that is an effective stress reliever is the art of candle making. You have to melt the wax and then pour it into molds. Well, I do not know the specifics of this art, but should you learn it, especially the scented candles, you can totally be the star in the eyes of potential buyers.

6. Macrame making

Macrame is a product that is formed through knotting. You take ropes, jute, yarn, or cotton twine and start making knots. It is like knitting because, out of a yarn thread, people can make a full sweater. From the art of macrame, artists have made wall decorations, table mats, purses, and whatnot.

The sportswear giant, Adidas, has always managed to stay ahead of the curve. Be it their products that entrance its customers or its creative and incredibly uplifting marketing strategy— everybody is sold. The company had been published stunning images this entire month for their “Impossible Is Nothing” campaign. Now there’s a short film and you need to know about it.

What Do You See In The Film?

The short film shows all the brand ambassadors doing their thing. You can see the Squid Game actor HoYeon Jung, the volleyball player Tifanny Abreu, the basketballer Asma Elbadawi, the model Ellie Goldstein and yoga teacher Jessamyn Stanley. All these people are those who have defied a host of odds to become who they are today. They are renowned. They are powerful. You know their names. But they didn’t get here in a day and Adidas is inviting your attention to the struggle that bears fruits.

The Message In The Film

The sentiment of the film is that nothing is impossible. Quite literally! The film keeps repeating the dialogue: “It’s impossible. To take hold of the world’s spotlight overnight. Create your own uniform. Be a cover model. A powerful athlete. Or compete as a trans woman. Impossible? No. I’mPossible.” Turning the impossible to I’mPossible is not easy but it’s the most powerful thing to do.

Moreover, diversity is at the core of the initiative. All the stars you see are people who have also torn down many barriers. The film fights for gender inclusivity, equality and recognition. Phrases like ‘My superpower is my truth’, ’My strength comes from within’ and ’The challenge is part of the fun’ are shown everywhere. They bring forth Adidas’ name as a global brand that empowers people.

Impossible Is Nothing

For Adidas, this is more than just a marketing film. The ’Impossible is Nothing’ manifesto aims “to unite” a strong community of athletes. The marketing head at the brand added that “this is our call to action” to all the women who make the impossible possible every day. Adidas establishes itself as their ally through this.

It serves them through its innovation, through its calls of action, and through its service to them. Adidas is a household name in the best way possible!

Islamabad, 17 February 2022: UNDP Pakistan and Jazz conclude the second cohort of the SDG Bootcamps—on themes of Education, Health, Climate Change, and Digital Transformation. Implemented by School of Leadership Foundation (SoLF), in the second cohort, 131 social enterprises participated, including 42 women-led initiatives. Four social enterprises emerged victorious.

How To Use Raast Payment System To Transfer Funds Instantly

By

-

Feb 17, 2022

RAAST – Pakistan’s first instant payment system, is launched by the State Bank of Pakistan. The feature allows users to send instant, reliable, and zero-cost digital payment services to the people of Pakistan. The objective of the initiative is to promote the adoption of digital financial services in the country.

Raast P2P allows the users to transfer funds as well as settlement services. The bank customers would be able to send and receive funds in their accounts using their bank’s mobile application.

To make payments and transfer funds, banks will also allow customers to create a Raast ID. This can be done by linking their preferred International Bank Account Number (IBAN) with their registered mobile phone number. The customers can then share Raast ID with others to receive funds in their accounts.

Here’s how you can create your account and transfer funds:

Activating Raast ID

With a Raast ID, users can send payments by using mobile numbers only without having to remember account numbers or IBANs.

1. Access your bank’s provided channel (mobile application, internet banking, branch over the counter, USSD).

2. Authenticate yourself and confirm your mobile number to link to your account.

3. Your bank channel will instantly confirm your mobile number as your new Raast ID. Only one Raast ID is allowed per customer and one account per Raast ID.

Transferring Funds

Transferring funds via Raast is convenient since the sender doesn’t need to register to Raast to make the payment.

Here are the steps you need to follow to make the payments

1. Access your bank’s provided channel (mobile application, internet banking, branch over the counter, USSD).

2. Specify beneficiary’s IBAN or Raast ID (mobile number) on Raast-enabled banks.

3. Confirm the amount to be sent within the limits provided by your bank.

4. Your payment will be transferred instantaneously.

Pakistan has joined a select club of countries that have either launched or are in the process of launching Instant payment systems. After the launch of the first phase of Raast, Bulk Payments in January 2021, SBP is now introducing Raast Person-to-Person (P2P).

The user-friendly features allow you to send transactions without any minimum transaction limit with 24-hour support and as well as free of cost fast and secure payments.
