Slip Right into Winter with Men’s Sweaters and Cardigans from Ideas!

Colder weather is just around the corner and it is time to switch from ACs to fans, ice creams to soups, and cotton sheets to cozy quilts. But what about your wardrobe boys?

Well, if you are low on inspo about what to wear this season, then read along to discover some of the most versatile and durable Men’s cardigans as well as sweaters that you can invest in for a perfect winter wardrobe!

Men’s Sweaters
Sweaters are arguably the most important component of any outfit and have the power to transform any outfit subtly. Here are a few sweaters that can potentially be the building block to your winter outfits that stand through time and turn heads.

Basic Sweaters:
The most important element of building any wardrobe is to invest in quality basics. And this basic Grey sweater, for instance, is a perfect transitional sweater. It’s an ideal choice for daytime wear, hanging out with friends, and even relaxing at home. You’ll want one in gray for everyday wear and we would definitely recommend it.

 

Another great addition to your winter wardrobe will be this lime green sweater that will not only look good with a pair of jeans or chinos but will also complement a more formal look.

Patterned Sweaters:

Patterned sweaters in fall are all but a necessity. Not only do these look great on their own but also with a solid, white button-down worn underneath. We’d highly recommend this Cinnamon Checkered Crew Neck and Navy Blue Striped Tie & Dye Crew Neck Sweater to take you through the cold harsh winter with comfort, warmth, and style.

Cricket Sweaters:

Cricket-style V-neck Sweaters are all the rage this season. When it comes to modern classic fashion, nothing can beat this signature, cable knit, 100% cotton men’s sweater style.

For a more elegant look, go for the classic white or choose the marron one for a more contemporary look. And if you want to enhance its preppy aesthetic, combine it with a shirt and tie – or just a shirt. A cricket style sweater will never fail you.

Textured Sweaters:

And while we are on the subject of modern classics, these textured sweaters from Ideas Man are simply unmissable. The classic cut, the timeless texture and the modern aesthetic make them a must have winter wardrobe staple. We particularly love these beige and blue crew neck sweaters for their simple, elegant yet modern look.

2. Men’s Cardigans:

 A nice warm cardigan is a non-negotiable component of any winter outfit. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire in the chilly winter or heading out for a casual night out, you can’t go wrong with this classic cardigan.

Our pick is this incredibly elegant textured grey cardigan. A true classic when it comes to the color but it is the texture and the pattern that elevates the entire look to make it modern chic.

We also love this sandy textured sleeveless cardigan from Ideas Man. It looks so cozy over a button-down shirt or a t-shirt. Wear it, and see how many heads you turn this winter season.

TikTok’s Family Pairing Feature Enables Parents to Curate TikTok Account of Teenagers

In the fast-growing social media world, TikTok has become one of the most popular video-making platforms especially among teenagers. Young content creators not only show off their skills but learn about the latest trends, new technology and essential skills. However, on the other hand, parents are also getting concerned about the online safety of their children and want to stay aware of their online activities.

Keeping the genuine safety concerns of parents in mind, TikTok has an important feature called Family Pairing. The option enables parents to look after their children and assures their online safety.

The feature will also create a bond of trust between parents and children and also bridge the communication gap between them. Parents will learn to trust their children, while teenagers will develop a sense of responsibility while creating content.

In fact, parents do not have to use the devices of their teens and can conveniently oversee the TikTok accounts of children from their personal mobile devices. For those who are still unaware of the feature, let’s explore the option in detail.

Want To Assure A Safer TikTok Experience For Your Child? Here’s How You Can Do It

The Family Pairing offers a series of customized safety settings. After the parents have created their TikTok account, they can easily link it to their child’s account. Different safety settings offered in the feature include:

Daily screen time

Time management is the core concern of parents. They want teens to use the app in a disciplined manner. With the help of Daily Screen Time, parents can set a time limit for children to use the app. Even if the teen has multiple devices, the setting will automatically apply to all those devices.

Restricted Mode

TikTok has a strict policy when it comes to content quality and only appropriate content is allowed on the platform. However, parents sometimes feel that certain types of content can be unsuitable for their teens. The Restrict Mode helps parents to block content that they believe could harm their child.

Search

By using the Search setting, a parent can decide which person, content, and hashtag the child can explore. They can also choose which specific sound should be blocked from the search bar.

Discoverability

With the help of the Discoverability setting, the teen’s account can be set to two modes. First is the ‘private mode’ that gives teens the authority to decide who can view their profile. The second is ‘public mode,’ which allows anyone to go through the account.

Suggest account to others

Like other social media platforms, TikTok also offers a list of suggested accounts. By using Suggest Account, the parent has authority whether to feature the teen’s account on the recommended list or not.

Going the extra mile

In addition to aforementioned settings, TikTok’s Family Pairing provides control over some crucial options. This includes Direct Messages where the parent can either switch off the message option or restrict who can send a message on the teens’ account. It is pertinent to mention here that direct message is unavailable for teenagers aged 13-15.

Subsequently, parents have the authority to decide who can browse the videos their teens like and restrict people’s comments as well.

For now, parental control is available only for mobile applications. For TikTok on mobile web and desktop browsers, Google’s family center or Apple’s parental control (for iOS) can be used.

5 Mind-Boggling Facts About High-Heels You Didn’t Know

High heels have been around for as long as we can remember but how many of us have stopped to think about where did they come from? We bet none of us has considered the fact that high heels also come with a long history and facts attached to them.

Here are 5 facts that will surprise you about the history of high heels.

1. To Avoid Garbage 

High heels were not always a fashion statement instead they were a tool to stay clear of filthy roads and garbage. Throughout the medieval period in Europe, the streets were often filled with trash and waste, high heels helped them rise above the garbage, keeping their clothes and the tops of their shoes clean while walking through town.

2. Heels Synonymous With Pain

While the majority of us have been through the dreaded phase of getting hurt by our favorite pair of heels. However, not all women want to go through the pain. In ancient times, women would undergo surgery to shorten their pinky toes and deaden nerves to wear high heels without pain.

3. High Heel Trippin’ 

While most of us have tripped in our favorite pair of heels at least once, another fun fact about people who wear high heels is that they tend to fall more often, even if they aren’t wearing high heels at the time.

4. Stilettos Are Knifes 

Three designers, Salvatore Ferragamo, Roger Vivier, and André Perugia, have each been credited with inventing the stiletto heel in the early 1950s. The addition of a slim metal spike that traveled up from the heel to the shoe, was named after the Italian knife that gangsters were known to carry.

5. World War 2 Reintroduced Heels

Most young American women started wearing high heels either near the war or soon after. They became standard attire for going out for a night on the town. Women also learned how to dance in them. As the saying goes, “Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backward and in high heels.”

Will Artificial Intelligence Ever Be Able To Beat Human Creativity?

Image Source: eLearning Industry

People believe that human creativity is innate. Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced to the point that it can now also be creative. Indignation was expressed by artists after a prize was given to an artwork produced by the AI model Mid journey in a recent competition. And now that Stable Diffusion, the most effective model of its sort to date, has been published, such software is publicly accessible.

Concerns regarding the application of AI, in the creative industries, have long been voiced by unions of creative professionals, such as Stop AI Stealing the Show. But could AI really displace professional artists? These new AI models have limitless potential. Even though each of the robots’ images is distinct, Stable Diffusion created them all from similar user requests.

These AI artists may be used in two different ways: by writing a brief text prompt or by including a picture with the prompt to provide more direction. I was able to come up with a number of logo concepts for a made-up fruit delivery firm using a 14-word challenge, a little less than 20 minutes using my average laptop.

Image Source: MobileAppDaily

Although there have been significant advancements in the previous five years, AI art models still have certain limitations. Although sometimes nonsense, the words in their artwork are recognizable. In a similar vein, AI has trouble simulating human hands. The fact that these models can only create digital art is another evident limitation. They are unable to use pastels or oils the way other individuals can. Technology may initially cause a swing toward a new form, similar to how vinyl has made a comeback, but with time individuals.

In the end, as prior study has indicated, AI models are more likely to operate as new tools for artists than as digital substitutes for creative individuals in their current form. For instance, the AI may provide a variety of images as a starting point, from which a human artist could choose and make improvements.

Extreme Weather Conditions & Skin Diseases: Here’s What You Need To Know

Image Source: Medium

According to a study published in The Journal of Climate Change and Health, many dermatological disorders, particularly in disadvantaged and vulnerable communities, are brought on by or made worse by floods, wildfires, and excessive heat.

The body’s main contact with the outside world is the skin – a huge, intricate organ that is crucial to the body’s sensory, thermoregulatory, barrier, and immunological functions. Since many skin disorders are climate-sensitive, the frequency and severity of floods, wildfires, and extreme heat events represent a serious danger to global dermatological health.

Image Source: Foreign Policy

As a foundation for health engagement, the implementation of early new treatments, and improved disease outcomes, the department wanted to give dermatologists and other practitioners a thorough overview of extreme weather-related skin disease, according to lead author Eva Rawlings Parker, MD, Department of Dermatology and the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA. “We were stunned by the sheer range of implications that extreme weather events have on skin disease and how significantly climate change exacerbates inequality,” the report reads.

There were about 200 papers referenced that described the various effects of severe weather events on skin. “This knowledge is especially pertinent in light of catastrophic occurrences like Hurricane Ian, which has led to higher illnesses owing to flood and standing water exposures,” said Marcalee Alexander, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Climate Change and Health.

One of the most frequent natural catastrophes, flooding, is connected to traumatic wounds and bacterial and fungal skin diseases. Another frequent effect of flooding is contact dermatitis because flood water is frequently tainted with pesticides, sewage, fertilizers, and chemicals. Adults without a history of eczema may develop it when exposed to wildfire smoke, and it may also cause or aggravate acne.

Image Source: Medium

Extended heat waves can have negative effects since the skin is so important in controlling body temperature. Insufficient cooling during periods of excessive heat, for instance, can result in heat stroke and mortality. Heat can also make several chronic inflammatory dermatoses worse. Seasonal infectious illnesses are possible, and heat and humidity raise the risk of bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens that cause common skin infections. Extreme heat occurrences have a less visible effect on behavior. People may spend more time outside during hot temperatures, increasing their exposure to air pollution, UV radiation, and insects.

Populations with lower incomes are more likely to reside in flood-prone locations. Additionally, these groups have a higher prevalence of skin conditions and poorer access to medical care. For migratory workers and manual laborers, extreme heat is a leading occupational danger. Large-scale migration is influenced by extreme weather conditions. One of the most often cited health issues seen among migrants is skin illness. The spread of infectious and communicable illnesses, as well as viruses carried by vectors, is particularly concerning. Homeless individuals are more likely to develop severe, climate-sensitive skin conditions.

To better define the risk for negative health outcomes, identify sensitive populations, concentrate on just and equitable strategies for resiliency and adaptation, and assess the impact of social factors on the relationship between exposure and health outcomes, clinical and occupational health research is required.

Samsung To Introduce ‘Galaxy Ring’? Here’s What You Need To Know

Image Source: NotebookCheck

While most of us wear smartwatches or trackers around our wrists to check data like daily steps and heart rate, smart rings provide a practical and lightweight option – and it appears that a new product in the category is on the way. According to “Notebookcheck” a Samsung patent for a smart ring-style gadget has been posted on the Naver forum in South Korea, and the device might offer a suite of capabilities similar to those present on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5.

Samsung’s Smart Rings

The typical limitations of patent applications apply: they simply represent internal research and development programs and do not guarantee the appearance of an actual item. However, it appears that Samsung is at least considering its possibilities for smart rings.

Image Source: T3

Similar to Oura?

The biggest name in the smart ring market right now is Oura, with the third-generation Oura smart ring featuring features like 24/7 heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and even some mindfulness activities. It is available for $299.

According to sources, Samsung intends to incorporate an optical heart rate sensor and ECG capabilities into the smart ring. An ECG (electrocardiogram) reading examines cardiac patterns for abnormalities. It doesn’t sound like the gadget will be available very soon, if at all – but there are clues that Samsung intends to expand its Galaxy line of smartphones even more.

Smart Rings – A Better Alternative?

If you’ve never heard of a smart ring before, it may appear to be an anomaly. However, this wearable is set to outperform smartwatches in a variety of ways, including battery life (the Oura ring can last for a week between charges). A ring is also a more discrete gadget than smartwatches or even simpler fitness trackers worn around the wrist. If you participate in rigorous sports and workouts, you may prefer the more lightweight and fixed feel of a smart ring over the alternatives.

Image Source: TechRadar

When it comes to sleep tracking, the less noticeable the gadget, the better it is. Many of us are familiar with wearing rings, whether for engagements, marriages, or for adornment, so a smart ring isn’t that much extra to wear (though we’d be astonished if anybody proposed wearing one). Samsung will definitely do research before launching a smart ring.

However, it is not the only business attempting to fill the market niche: Fitbit is also rumored to be developing a smart ring, and a range of other choices are also surfacing.

Ways To Make Your Motorcycle More Visible At Night

Image Source: Bikesure

Riding a motorcycle is a hobby for some and a primary mode of transport for others. The automobile is a popular and economical transport vehicle but it does have some risks. Motorcycles can easily be toppled over by the slightest of movements or cannot even be visible in the dark hours of the night. This is why it is extremely important to make sure your motorcycle is clearly visible to others on the road. Here are 8 ways that can make motorcycles more visible at night.

  1. Wearing high visibility safety gear

Image Source: Motorbike Writer

On most motorbikes, the rider occupies almost the same amount of visible space as the vehicle itself. This implies that when it comes to being visible, we have just as much to do as the bikes we ride. We’ve been taught that yellow or orange signifies being cautious or paying attention, so wearing a high-visibility jacket or helmet grabs drivers’ attention immediately.

  1. Using reflective tape

Using reflective tape expands your motorcycle’s visual footprint. We recommend installing parts on the front of your forks and any other part of your motorcycle that is visible from a light source (top of a tall windscreen or the edges of your panniers). Reflective tape won’t help you much during the day, but it will operate as separate light source at night, making your motorcycle appear much larger.

  1. Ride a brightly colored Motorcycle

Image Source: Fairwheels

Motorcycles are already at a disadvantage on the road due to their size and ability to accelerate and decelerate faster than automobile drivers are used to. This makes them more difficult to perceive and to judge distance from. Dark-colored bikes worsen the problem, making our tiny little rocket ships even more difficult to spot on the road.

  1. Stay out of blind spots

There’s a reason they’re called blind spots. If you park your motorbike in a location where vehicles can’t see you without shifting their heads and seeking you, you’re relying on their alertness to determine your fate. You don’t want to be riding behind the b-pillar of a four-door car.

  1. Tap your brakes

Image Source: Liveabout

Many individuals are unaware that your brakes have another purpose. “Hey, you behind me, make sure you’re paying attention to what’s going on up here,” I like to say. Tapping your brakes quickly transforms your brake light into a massive blinker, ideally drawing the attention of the car behind you. Tapping your brakes can also be used to notify tailgaters or riding partners of a perilous road situation.

  1. Use high-beam lights

Opinions may differ on this one. However, I prefer to ride with my high-bam lights on almost all of the time throughout the day. Most drivers will not be bothered or dazzled by them since they will not be seen in low-light conditions.

  1. Use your horn

Image Source: iStock

While horns are most commonly associated with a loud curse word, they may also be rather beneficial. A fast double tap can warn a distracted motorist of your presence or that it’s time to put down the phone.

  1. Use your Auxiliary lights

Auxiliary lights are similar to reflective tape in that they provide light sources for your bike. They have the extra benefit of functioning around the clock and providing additional light to see at night. You may add these to the front and rear of your bike, and they can frequently be programmed to different intensities or to strobe in the back when you stop.

Myths About Solar Eclipse People Actually Believe In

A solar eclipse is an astronomical event that can be observed when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, leading to the sun’s total or partial occultation.

Now that it has been scientifically explained, there’s little room for myth-making around eclipses. But this wasn’t the case with ancient civilizations which had their unique myths to make sense of these occurrences. As the world gears up to witness another solar eclipse on 25 October 2022, we take a look at some of these old myths and try to debunk them with scientific facts.

1. Total Solar Eclipses Can Cause Blindness 

Many people have believed over the years that solar eclipses tend to cause blindness. However, scientists have stated otherwise. During a total solar eclipse, when the disk of the moon fully covers the sun, the brilliant corona emits only electromagnetic radiation, though sometimes with a greenish hue. Being a million times fainter than the light from the sun itself, there is nothing in the coronal light that could cross 150 million kilometres of space, penetrate our dense atmosphere, and cause blindness, NASA scientists say.

2. Eclipses Can Poison The Food

Solar Eclipse

Solar eclipses are rumoured to create harmful rays that can harm food. This was thought to have a direct relationship with the food that comes in direct contact with the sun i.e, crops and fields. Scientists have mentioned that it is perfectly safe to eat, drink and carry out daily activities during the eclipse. The only danger is when one views it with the naked eye.

3. Pregnant Women Must Not Watch The Eclipse

This myth is also related to the previous false idea that harmful radiation is emitted during a total solar eclipse. Although the electromagnetic radiation from the corona, seen as light, is perfectly safe, there is another form of radiation that travels to Earth from the sun. Scientists have shared that these minute neutrons that travel to the earth and can penetrate a solid body have no harmful effects. It is an entirely harmless effect and would not harm those who are pregnant or the developing fetus.

4. Solar Eclipse Can Predict Events Ahead Of Time

The celestial effects and how they control human behaviour have been studied under the concept of astrology. While solar eclipses don’t hold the capacity to predict anything – there is nothing other than human psychology that connects eclipses with future events in your life.

5. Eclipse Can Effect Health 

Image source: nationalgeographic

It has been believed over the period that one must restrict their chores during the time of the eclipse to avoid any ill effect on health and life. People even close the temple doors and do not pray at that time. And after the eclipse, idols are supposed to be washed to be purified. Scientists have explained that there are no such gases released and that the effect will not cause any kind of damage to us or worshipping idols.

Did Umpires Rob Pakistan of Victory against India In T20 World 2022? NO.

ICC T20 World Cup 2022

Pakistan and India have one of the most heated rivalries in sports history. They never fail to amaze fans across the globe whenever they lock horns. Yesterday was no different. During T20 World Cup 2022 match, 90,293 spectators at the MCG and millions watching at home were treated to the usual dose of the drama of an Indo-Pak clash.

The game was exciting from the get-go, and it delivered many moments of brilliance. The crowd was on their feet; the noise they made could be heard in the suburbs over two kilometers away.

The major highlight of the game was Virat Kohli’s brilliance with the bat, and how he snatched the victory out of Pakistan’s mouth. However, the major talking point about the match were two umpiring decisions, which occurred during the final moments of the game.

Pakistanis felt robbed of victory, courtesy of those two decisions. From social media to the local tea shop, from experts of the game to the people who only watch cricket once a year, everyone everywhere is talking about it rather than how intense and thrilling the match was.

Well, let’s take a detailed look into both of these decisions.

Why did on-field umpires not consult the third umpire to check the full toss no ball?

India needed 13 runs off 3 balls when Mohammad Nawaz bowled a juicy high full toss, which was pulled by Virat Kohli for a six. Square leg umpire Marais Erasmus turned to watch Kohli’s shot go over the fence. After the six was confirmed, Erasmus signaled that the delivery was above the waist, and standing umpire Rod Tucker called a no-ball.

It was a close marginal call, which could have gone either way. The important thing to consider is not how high the ball was when Kohli made contact with it, but rather how high it would have been if it had past him while he was in his stance.

Well, the main question from fans across the globe is ‘if it was a close call, why did umpires not review and use technology to come up with the best possible result?’

The answer to this question is, that according to ICC’s playing conditions, no balls (apart from front-foot no balls, called off the field) can only be reviewed after a dismissal.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam initially protested with umpire Rod Tucker against the decision, but the dust was settled after Erasmus intervened and explained the decision to Babar.

Why was the ball not declared dead after Virat Kohli was bowled on free hit?

India needed six runs off three balls with a free hit to go, Nawaz under immense pressure, bowled the free hit wide, which meant that the free hit was still in effect and the next legal delivery would be free hit.

Nawaz bowled a yorker, which missed Kohli’s bat and crashed into his stumps, and raced toward the third man. Pakistani fielders stood baffled, protesting the ball to be dead rather than chasing the ball, which allowed Kohli and Dinesh Karthik to run three.

Mohammad Rizwan argued with the umpire over the decision, and many fans and experts suggested that the ball should have been declared dead after hitting the stumps.

To clear the air about this incident, we must go through the playing conditions and the MCC’s Laws of Cricket.

According to the MCC Laws of Cricket, the ball can only become dead when “it is finally settled in the hands of the wicketkeeper or of the bowler”, or when “a boundary is scored.” The ball can also be called a dead ball when “a batter is dismissed. The ball will be deemed to be dead from the instant of the incident causing the dismissal.”

Law – 20.1.1 – also states the other different ways of declaring a ball dead, including the times when the umpire has the authority on the decision. With regards to the ball hitting the stumps, the umpire can call the ball dead when “one or both bails fall from the striker’s wicket before the striker has had the opportunity of playing the ball.”

However, the free hit ball doesn’t become dead after hitting the stumps because the batter cannot get out on free hit.

Clause 21.19.2 of the playing conditions is clear: “For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball”.

In other words, the only way a batter can get out on a free hit is either by being run out, for obstructing the field or hitting the ball twice.

So although Kohli was ‘bowled’ he was not dismissed, meaning the ball remained in play and not dead.

Conclusion:

Hope the dust is settled now. It was all fair and abiding the rules of the game to not call the ball dead, and award 3 runs to India, whereas in no ball’s case, it was a close call, so it is debatable, but that is the beauty of cricket. It is the game of the smallest of margins, and these kinds of incidents can happen with any team at any time, so fans should accept things gracefully rather than indicating foul play without understanding the rules and laws of the game.

According To A Study, Air Pollution May Lead To Obesity In Women

Image Source: Healthifyme

Obesity is a worldwide issue. Obesity rates have more than quadrupled globally since 1975. Expanding waistlines are notably common in the United States, where more than four out of every ten persons fulfil the criteria for obesity. While there are many variables contributing to this alarming trend, a recent study reveals that air pollution may be another factor pushing the scales toward obesity – at least for certain women.

Obesity in middle-aged women

According to researchers at the University of Michigan, middle-aged women exposed to pollution are more likely to acquire weight and develop a higher BMI, a greater waist circumference, and more body fat. According to the study’s authors, a group of older, middle-aged women who were exposed to air pollution for an extended period of time gained more weight.

Women in their late 40s and early 50s who were exposed to air pollution for an extended period of time — specifically, higher levels of fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone — had a bigger body size and composition measures, according to first study author Xin Wang, an epidemiology research investigator at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, in a university release.

Facts and research

These findings are based on data from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation, which included 1,654 Caucasian, Black, Chinese, and Japanese women. Between 2000 and 2008, researchers followed all of the subjects whose baseline median age was close to 50.

Finally, the UM team observed that exposure to air pollution was associated with higher body fat, higher percentage fat, and poorer lean mass in midlife women. Body fat, for example, increased by 4.5 percent (roughly 2.6 pounds). The researchers also made certain to investigate the effects of air pollution and physical exercise on body composition.

What could help with obesity in women?

Indeed, researchers discovered that engaging in a lot of physical activity (based on the frequency, duration, and felt physical intensity of more than 60 activities) was an efficient approach to reduce and maybe even counteract air pollution exposure.

Wang cautions, however, that because this study only involved middle-aged women, the findings should not be extrapolated to men or women of other ages.

Apple’s New iPads: Everything You Need To Know

Image Source: Pocket Lint

The iPad models for this autumn are arriving a bit later this year, and the most affordable device is becoming pricier. Apple updated its iPad and iPad Pro lineups on Tuesday, and the entry-level iPad received a long-awaited facelift with USB-C to match the rest of the roster, albeit at a price jump to $449 and higher. The new iPad is also available in four colors: blue and silver, as well as bright yellow and pink.

Upgraded M2 CPUs

Meanwhile, the iPad Pro has been upgraded to the company’s newest M2 CPUs. The iPad Pro series was most recently upgraded in spring 2021 with M1 CPUs and 5G capability, while the entry-level iPad was updated in the autumn.

The 10th-gen entry-level iPad adds an A14 CPU and USB-C, and debuts Oct. 26 — it can be pre-ordered now. However, it does not function with the Pencil 2: Instead, it makes use of the Pencil 1 with a USB-C adaptor. The entry-level model lacks a Smart Connector, but it does include a new $249 Magic Keyboard Folio attachment with a kickstand. The iPad’s pricing has also risen: The entry-level Wi-Fi variant costs $449 (£499, AU$749) and only has 64GB of storage; a 256GB model for $150 extra is nearly needed.

iPad 2022 Price and Storage

In a tough economy, the higher price of the cheapest iPad isn’t a pleasant adjustment. In fact, Apple is still offering last year’s entry iPad model (which starts at $329). The new iPad Pro includes an M2 processor as well as a hovering Pencil 2 function that activates before the pen touches the screen, as well as millimeter wave 5G capability in the cellular edition. It will be released on the same day, October 26. The 11-inch model with 128GB of storage starts at $799 (£899, AU$1,399), while the 12.9-inch model starts at $1,099, however, upgrading to the cellular variant this time costs an additional $200. (Storage capacities range from 128GB to 2TB.)

Landscape Camera

A relocated front-facing camera appears to be one of the nicest features of the new entry-level iPad. It is now on the landscape side, as it should be, so video calls will not appear off-centered. The new iPad Pro, on the other hand, retains the front-facing camera in portrait mode. The iPad series was expected to be upgraded, and the news meets expectations for the most part, including the camera.

The 2022 iPad Air, which was introduced this spring, also has an M1 CPU. Apple is relying on its M1 processors in iPadOS 16.1 by allowing external displays with multitasking via a feature dubbed Center Stage, although the operating system has yet to be launched and has been quite unstable in its public beta.

So, what do you think of the latest iPad lineup? Let us know in the comments below.

Drinking too much water has become a statement than a health concern. However, nutritionists have mentioned this time and again that drinking too much than what your body can hold can have adverse effects. Drinking gallons of water flush out important minerals.

‘There is such a thing as drinking too much water,’ she said. ‘You can flush out too many minerals and dilute our stomach acid. ‘

‘We need our stomach to be very acidic to break down food properly. If it’s not acidic enough, AKA too diluted, we can have an issue with digestion.’

2. Don’t Keep Wifi Router In Room

WiFi router in the bedroom can be quite harmful due to the electromagnetic frequencies that it gives off.  These can cause mild to severe health issues.

‘You will be exposed to an excessive amount of EMF and RF radiation from the router at proximity. The dangers of this radiation are increased the closer it is to you,’ she said.

Juice cleanses have become a social media trend lately, however they are not as beneficial as they sound. The juice cleanses or a juice detox is a specific diet regime that requires increased consumption of liquids and lower food intake.

‘You need protein to detox. Protein is what helps carry the toxins through the body for elimination,’ she explained. ‘Without any protein, it’s just fasting. Save your money and drink some Bone Broth.’ She explained.

4. No Caffeine Before Breakfast

Caffeine has become a go-to for everyone be it students, workers or anyone else. However,  drinking coffee on an empty stomach comes with its own set of challenges.

‘That hit of caffeine first thing in the morning on an empty stomach causes unneeded stress on the body. Some people claim that drinking it first thing in the morning, when cortisol levels are already high, can be dangerous.’ She explained.

‘Eat the insides of the bell pepper,’ says the health expert. ‘That part is very bitter, but bitter foods help you strengthen and stimulate digestion,’ she told her followers.

5 Luxury Brand Secrets You Really Need To Know

Paying tens of thousands of dollars for a handbag or millions of dollars for a car isn’t a financial or functional decision. It’s an emotional one. These brands understand the psychological triggers that can motivate people to buy seemingly impractical goods. Hence, it is easier for brands to micro-manage their client’s functional and emotional needs.

Here are some luxury brand secrets you need to know.

1. The Price/Value Bias 

One thing consistent with luxury fashion is the brand’s ability to imply that the higher the product costs the more worthwhile it is. The bias lets people indulge in fashion trends wholeheartedly regardless of whether the product is actually worth it or not.

2. The Scarcity Phenomenon 

Brands usually use this phenomenon to drive demand for the product. Limited availability motivates people to jump on a trend. Similarly, having to join a waitlist for a product increases the excitement of actually owning it. Scarcity also maintains the illusion of exclusivity.

3. Rude Retailers 

According to a popular notion, brand retailers are professionally trained to be rude to customers. While the truth behind the claim is still not clear, many customers have shared time and again that they have a no-tolerance policy if the retailers do so.

4. Quality Over Quantity 

While the brands feed into the illusion of superiority, it implicitly justifies the high cost of luxury goods; and highlights the story of how a product came to be. The product is positioned as the unique creation of a particular brand, which personalizes the brand-customer relationship.

5. Buying = Experience 

Buying a luxury good isn’t merely a transaction of funds. It’s an entry point into the lifestyle promised by the brand. Therefore the best brands encourage their customer service team to build personal relationships with customers. This both individualizes the experience and helps ensure a smooth purchasing process, which builds brand loyalty.

Mandviwala Entertainment Sheds Light On The Screening Controversies Around ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’

Karachi, October 20, 2022: Nadeem Mandviwala, CEO Mandviwala Entertainment and Associate Producer The Legend of Maula Jatt, Adnan Zahoor addressed the media present in large numbers to shed light on the recent controversies regarding the screening of Maula Jatt, at a five-star hotel here, earlier today.

Undisputedly the biggest and costliest film produced in Pakistan The Legend of Maula Jatt, has lived up to the expectations of viewers worldwide. However, there has been much reported in the media about the distributor of the film not releasing the movie for screening at all theatres. Speaking on the occasion Mandviwalla said, “Universally whenever mega productions are released cinema owners or groups support such films by giving more screens so that maximum box office collections are done in the initial fortnight. In the alternative, where screens are unavailable, admission rates are increased, and a higher percentage of the box office is shared with the distributors. The objective is to assist the film’s   box office collection in the initial period and support the distributors and producers without sacrificing the revenue of the exhibitor. A win-win for all.

‘Unfortunately, in Pakistan, some cinema groups opted to not go the extra mile and support the costliest Pakistani production to date, justifying their decision not to do so by misrepresenting facts. I am here to present you all facts and figures, so you understand the situation and the economics surrounding it and am happy to answer all queries.”

After providing a detailed brief on the subject Mandviwala fielded all questions thrown his way to the satisfaction of the media present. High tea was served to conclude the event.
