Could Samsung be Planning a Notch-Less & Bezel-Less Future?

Oct 23, 2018

Samsung, one of the world’s biggest smartphone manufacturers is also known for having a reputation for mocking smartphone notches.

Recalling its purpose, the notch houses camera lenses, speakers, and a variety of sensors.

However, the brand came under the limelight for being so unaesthetic that some Pixel 3 users have been digging into their phones’ user settings to hide the notch completely by implementing a screen-wide black bar.

It looks like Samsung wants to avoid the notch and a black bar after what Ice Universe revealed was on show at the incredibly private 2018 Samsung OLED Forum at the Shenzhen Marriott Hotel in China with about 20 business partners present, according to Forbes.

Great news! Samsung established the direction of mobile phone design in 2019!

— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) October 19, 2018

During a PowerPoint presentation, the company revealed four new technologies that will drive their smartphone development over the upcoming year: FoD (fingerprint sensing tech under the display), UPS (under-the-screen sensor tech), HoD (touch-sensitive tech), and SoD (“screen sound tech”).

Since the FoD and SoD tech already exists on the market and HoD tech isn’t exactly novel, the key innovation here is that UPS tech. That right there is what will bring us a notch-less AND bezel-less screen that is, basically, the display of our dreams that has been just out of reach of today’s tech.

Time to botch the notch.

Needless to say, this would be a breakthrough for the smartphone market. There’s no word yet on the public release of such an innovation or the launch of the long-awaited folding Galaxy F. Perhaps, both will be arriving soon, maybe even together. Is this the end of smartphone displays as we know it? As Samsung said themselves.

Here’s Why This is the Best Time to Purchase Gold!

Oct 23, 2018

This is the best time to purchase gold! This is because market analysts predict that the rate for gold will increase in the upcoming months of November and December. Whereas you can get a decent discount on the purchase if you act fast.

Moreover, the demand for gold will increase during the next 15 days. According to Khaleej Times, another reason behind this is that as of now, there are political tensions surrounding Saudi Arabia and are resulting as trade tension between China and the US.

There is a high probability that safe-haven demand for gold will be sustained.

Honda Car Prices Raised in Pakistan, Again!

Lukman Otunuga, a research analyst at FXTM, also believes that gold has the potential to appreciate this quarter as trade disputes, Brexit-related uncertainty, Italy budget concerns and global growth fears fuel risk aversion.

Technical trades will continue observing how prices behave around the $1,233.50-$1,213 regions –he said

However, Otunga also believes that moving forward, the price of gold will be highly affected by the value of the Dollar against other currencies.

He believes gold is likely to be heavily influenced in the coming months due to US rate hike expectations, trade war fears and geopolitical tensions.

The yellow metal has the potential to shine immensely if trade tensions escalate, global growth fears heighten and risk aversion prevails.

Stronger Dollar and higher interest rates in 2019 can easily send the precious metal crashing. Investors will be closely observing if gold can push further away from the psychological $1,200 level, he added.

How Pakistanis Can Save on Purchase of Gold

For Pakistanis, the best strategy right now is to buy gold from the Dubai markets, given that the yellow metal is currently going to be on discounted prices throughout the first week of November. Afterwards, the price will once again shoot sky-high.

Can you think of any other smart investments? Let us know!

Momina Mustehsan Vs Shireen Mazari’s ‘Ko Ko Korina’ Twitter War: Ahad Raza Mir & Sajal Break Silence!

By

Ghazala Sulaiman

-

Oct 23, 2018

Ko Ko Korina’s rendition by Coke Studio has become the talk of the town. Few have loved it, most have hated it and are leaving no stone unturned to bash the singers for ruining the evergreen classic.

Stars and critics too did not shy away to bash Ahad Raza Mir and Momina Mustehsan for the remix-gone-horribly-wrong.

But perhaps, the fiercest feedback of all was by Federal Minister for Human Rights, Shireen Mazari.

Imaan Mazari & Shireen Mazari’s Angry Whatsapp Conversation Goes Viral

Calling it a massacre of music, the PTI politician roasted the Coke Studio for the fail!

Horrendous! Destroyed a great classic – why oh why did Coke Studio allow such a massacre of this classic song? https://t.co/Iq5gfCPYcr

— Shireen Mazari (@ShireenMazari1) October 21, 2018

Her views clearly irked Momina who took to Twitter to blast Mazari with full force.

Apologies for hurting ur sentiments. It is ur right to judge us & express ur outrage,just like it was our right to exercise our #FreedomOfExpression. As our Minister of #HumanRights, u should appreciate @cokestudio for allowing us to express ourselves, esp if it was horrendous 🙂 https://t.co/OkYdSE0jCz

— Momina Mustehsan (@MominaMustehsan) October 22, 2018

The clash escalated with the Minister responding back in a defensive tweet.

I gave my personal opinion which I am entitled to esp on a non pol issue having to do with music. To each his/her own! And why bring the ministry into it?! https://t.co/io9q0y6nAf

— Shireen Mazari (@ShireenMazari1) October 22, 2018

But her reply did not settle well with Momina who made it her mission to school Shireen Mazari.

As someone holding office, I’d expect you to be more responsible with how you express yourself on public platforms. We look up to you, ma’am, as citizens of this country. Uncle Ben from Spider-Man said “with great power comes great responsibility”. Don’t let us down #NayaPakistan https://t.co/Ghvw5tivkd

— Momina Mustehsan (@MominaMustehsan) October 22, 2018

The volleyball of verbal attacks continued with the PTI politician making it clear again that it was her personal choice to like or hate a tune.

R u serious! Liking or disliking a song has nothing to do with anyone or any politics! It's a personal choice. I did not like the song. End of story. https://t.co/7v01spfVZQ

— Shireen Mazari (@ShireenMazari1) October 22, 2018

But the Coke Studio sensation took it further by calling Shireen’s opinion close to ‘cyber-bullying’

When you hold office, its not about politics or his/her own anymore – it’s about the country at large. You represent all of us now, not just yourself or #PTI. In a time when we’re trying to curb cyber-bullying and hate speech, please don’t fuel it further #SocialResponsibility https://t.co/5cX0Z8OaMl

— Momina Mustehsan (@MominaMustehsan) October 22, 2018

This catfight seems to have ended with the politician now clearly ignoring Momina. But her daughter Imaan took the task to hit back at the songstress.

— ایمان زینب (@ImaanZHazir) September 28, 2018

In a series of tweets, here’s what Imaan Mazari had to say:

At a time when we're trying to promote our artists, please behave responsibly and let the ones who can sing come forward instead of expecting us to appreciate those who can't. #moralresponsibility https://t.co/O5UfcQCQsY

— ایمان زینب (@ImaanZHazir) October 22, 2018

I'm sure Mominah feels overwhelmed by the fun at her expense but at the end of the day, the fact remains that she picked a battle where there was no need to have one and in doing so, she made a fool of herself.

— ایمان زینب (@ImaanZHazir) October 22, 2018

Point being: if you don't have thick enough skin to withstand legitimate criticism, dont triviliaze a serious issue (cyber bullying) 2 cover up ur sense of entitlement.Ppl mocking u 4 that entitlement are nt subjecting u 2 cyber-bullying.We all say silly things.Own up & move on.

— ایمان زینب (@ImaanZHazir) October 22, 2018

Ahad Raza Mir has now also responded to the controversy!

I am honoured that I got to cover Ko Ko Korina. Some people enjoyed it and some not to so much, which is fair. Look at how we love to appreciate and criticize. It shows our nation is alive. Even after hearing the song 😉 Pun intended.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

Most importantly I want to thank CocaCola who gives opportunity to youth, to new faces, who promotes experimentation which uur country needs and who dares to do things in their own style. Coke is almost a pioneer in taking risks in Pakistan. Lets not forget its COKE Studio.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

Addressing Shireen Mazari, Ahad requested her to use the better choice of words next time!

I am also pleansantly surpired that the minister of human rights noticed out attempt, although she did not have very nice things to say, I'm still happy she noticed.
Just a peice of advice: better choice of words next time Ms. Minister.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

Ms. Minister you represent a party that wants to bring change, supports youth and new ideas in Pakistan. The reach and duty of Human Rights promotes a caring approach to life. Dont "massacre" its meaning. You represent human rights in our country. Think about what that means.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

Really all I'm trying to say is that we should learn to be kind. Even in our criticism. Trust me it goes a long way. Our song was a cover, and a cover is meant to deviate from the original. Its not supposed to sound or feel the same. And at the end of the day…it's a song.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

In the end, he urged everybody to respect artists and spread more love!

Also lets respect our artists. All of them. Everytime an artists works…they take a risk. Not for themselves…but for you. Trust me when I say we work hard for YOU. Not for ourselves. Want to critisize.. do it with love. Works better and definelty doesn't hurt as much.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

So lets remember something. If we can come together to hate something, we can do the same to love. Take that however you'd like.
Lastly to everyone that appreciated the song, I am honored and now will work twice as hard to gain the confidence of my critics.
Love you as a nation.

— Ahad Raza Mir (@ahadrazamir) October 23, 2018

Witnessing all the hate, Sajal Ali couldn’t stay mum on the matter. With Ahad and Sajal being pretty close, this was bound to happen.

Taking to Instagram, the Yakeen ka Safar starlet urged everybody to stop insulting the singers and the song!

She urged everybody to stop the hate for it won’t get anybody anywhere.

Meanwhile, Pakistani celebrities continue to question Coke Studio and how it could have rolled out a rendition so flawed.

Same here. In fact I like the Leo Twins version of Koko Korina much better than the flat version put out by Coke Studio. No harm in stating music likes and dislikes. And no need to make such choices the subject of convoluted debate. https://t.co/sff8ZdBbWR

Daraz announces 11.11: World’s Biggest Sale Day

By

Press Release

-

Oct 22, 2018

Leading e-commerce company, Daraz, is bringing 11.11, the ‘World’s Biggest Sale Day’, to Pakistan for the first time. The one-day sale is sponsored by Unilever, L’Oreal, P&G, Nestle, Mi, PEL and Haier – as well as HBL as one of the financial partners and Telenor as the telecommunications partner.

During the first mega event since the launch of the new Daraz App, customers can expect a truly personalized and supercharged lineup of activities. Daraz 11.11 is a first of its kind event and is set to revolutionize regional e-commerce.

What is 11.11?

11.11 started in 2009, when Alibaba, Daraz’s parent-company, positioned it as Asia’s answer to Black Friday. Fast-forward 10 years and the headlining 11.11 sale is ready to make the journey to Pakistan.

https://youtu.be/_FFWAKE9VAw

The one-day event posts unequaled sales numbers, four times that of Black Friday. Customers can look forward to a fully personalized shopping experience, in addition to massive mega deals, flash sales, thousands of brand vouchers, mystery boxes, discounts from banks, giveaways and more. The one-day sale event on the new Daraz App will be the biggest to date for the e-commerce company.

Black Friday 2018 in Pakistan: Deals Coming Soon!

When is 11.11?

11.11 is the numeric short-form of 11th November. On 11th November 2018, Myanmar will greet the sale phenomenon with open arms and carts.

Managing Director Daraz Pakistan, Ehsan Saya, shared his thoughts on the upcoming flagship sale:

“11.11 is poised to disrupt Pakistan’s e-commerce industry. Once you experience what the Daraz App has in store for you, you’ll be able to draw a line in the sand and say: that was Daraz before 11.11; this is Daraz after 11.11. It will mark a paradigm shift. 11.11 is about more than just deals and discounts – it will bring our entire digital ecosystem into play: a combo of artificial intelligence assisted personalization, entertainment, massive deals, secure payment solutions, and an assortment of more than 2 million products.”

Dalda’s #MeriAwaz Campaign Unites Voices Against Body Shaming

By

Oct 21, 2018

Children are the torch-bearers of society. It is our responsibility to provide them with a nurturing environment that not only ensures their healthy growth but also allows them to achieve their full potential.

However, there is a lot of pressure on children nowadays to meet the expectations imposed by society.

While both genders feel the pressure, the girl child is comparatively under more scrutiny and is expected to live her life according to rules imposed by those around her.

From a very young age, she is told to eat less in order to stay thin and beautiful. Many times, she is shunned from taking part in sports and restricted from pursuing higher education.

These clichéd perceptions are generating an unhealthy body image amongst young girls today, shattering their confidence and creating impediments to achieving their full potential.

Dalda Bringing A Shift In The Cultural Attitude

There is a dire need for positive influences teaching them how to combat body shaming and other pressures.

In a bid to nip these societal dilemmas, Dalda has launched an inspiring campaign #MeriAwaz to empower young girls about body image. As the brand has been synonymous with motherhood, Dalda’s Meri Awaz campaign is a relevant and effective extension of ‘Jahan Mamta Wahan Dalda’.

A post shared by Brandsynario (@brandsynario) on Oct 15, 2018 at 3:44am PDT

The purpose of #MeriAwaz is to educate mothers on how to motivate children to have a positive body image about themselves and defy the double standards prevalent in our society. It is a mother who can give her child the confidence to pursue her dream and not be bound by societal pressures.

Bringing Together A Voice Against Body Shaming

The brand united high-powered influential mothers from all walks of life for a panel discussion at the Movenpick Hotel.

Spotted on the occasion were Aamina Sheikh, Nadia Hussain, Samina Pirzada, Sarwat Gilani, Aamna Isaani, Mishaal, Samina Pirzada and Ayesha Toor.

These confident moms stressed upon ending the cycle of stereotypical negativity and practicing compassion towards children.

The focal point of the discussion was that the time had come to teach the youth to ‘feel comfortable in their own skin”.

The ladies narrated personal incidents about how they had overcome obstacles through the support and confidence given to them by their mothers and other family members.

Instead of schooling them to be skinny and thin, the mothers emphasized on imparting the message of healthy eating and nourishment amongst the younger generation.

They also reiterated the need for reaching out to schools and making the subject of ‘body positivity’ a part of the school curriculum.

Present at the event, Dalda’s Marketing Director Usama Khan highlighted that Dalda has engaged Pakistani mothers for decades and #MeriAwaz is yet another such initiative by the brand. He added that it is their corporate social responsibility to play a part in ending these existing double standards.

The Cake starlet, Aamina Sheikh also gave a motivating message at the event!

Toyota Recalls of 2.4 Million Hybrid Cars Due to Massive Fault

The brand has ensured to keep all the iconic details from the predecessor, including the Signature cascade grille, whereas the sleek sweptback headlamps are adding more charm to its looks.

Under the Hood

The 2018 Santro is equipped with a 4-cylinder 1.1-Litre Petrol engine which gives excellent performance, high-fuel efficiency, and gives-off low vibrations.

It is also Hyundai’s first model to offer in-house developed Smart Auto AMT Technology and will have a factory fitted CNG option (for India).

Technology Adaptation

For fans, the Santro has adapted to the new modern-age technology as it comes with a segment-first 6.5 inch Touch Screen Audio Video System. The Multimedia system is equipped with smartphone connectivity – Android auto, Apple Carplay and Mirror Link along with supporting voice recognition function & rear parking camera display on the screen.

That’s not all, another re-vamp the Hyundai Santro 2018 has received is the introduction of rear AC vents and a larger body for more cabin space.

Speaking at the unveiling of the All New Santro, Y K Koo, MD & CEO, HMIL said:

“Today is a historic and proud moment for us, as India has unanimously chosen the name of their Favourite Family Car to be called The All New Santro. Since its first launch, Santro created history with its numerous segment-first innovations and became the Complete Family Car for millions of Indians.”

In the Indian market, the Santro is a direct competitor to Maruti Suzuki’s WagonR, Celerio and even Renault Kwid 1.0.

Price

The car is expected to be worth around INR 4 lakh. For those who wish to import the 2018 Santro in Pakistan, will have to pay duty and can expect it to be around PKR 8.5-10 lakhs.

In Pakistan, Hyundai has partnered with Nishat group and is in process of making a comeback. It will be interesting to see if it makes its way to Pakistan as a local assembled option.

Punjab Civil Secretariat Under Fire for Barring Entrance Without ‘Dupatta’

Oct 19, 2018

A video has caught social media’s attention as women not covering their heads have been barred from entering the Minister’s Block at the Punjab Civil Secretariat in Lahore.

This came to attention after Noor Imran tweeted about her experience as she and her colleagues were not allowed to enter the premises without a dupatta on their heads.

Rant alert: I was refused entry in a government building because I wasn’t wearing a dupatta. 🙂 Refusing me entry was also a head scarf wearing woman (no issues, her choice) who called in a man when I asked why. He said these orders are from the minister I had a meeting with 1/2

Sindh Cabinet Declares Winking, Staring at Women as Criminal Offense

This came as a surprise for Noor as this was not her first visit and never faced an issue with her apparel before. However, this time around, she was stopped by the security and staff of the Minister’s block in the security checking room.

When confronted, the police officer on duty named Raza stated that this rule was imposed on the women to prevent men from staring at them and were set by the Minister.

Noor further shared that she then took a dupatta from a friend. When she wore it on her shoulders, she was still not allowed to enter. The female staff members told her that it had to be on her head.

My colleague with me had a head scarf and a dupatta lent me hers to enter. I threw it on my shoulder and told her to let me go now. She then said, “Cover your head with it”. I was like why? I have a dupatta now! And I walked off. Ily Pakistan, but you make it very hard 2/2

Noor’s colleagues had faced the same problem the following two days as one of the girls did not have her head covered. When the officials were asked to present an official notice of this new rule, they responded by saying it is not on paper, but just verbal orders.

went to the Minister’s Block, Civil Secretariat lhr today coz I heard of this issue that you can’t enter without a dupatta. They refused me too. I asked for written orders and there were none. They used your name ma’am @Dr_YasminRashid . You can see. @PTIofficial #NayaPakistan pic.twitter.com/HvzLThV0Lh

— sidra butt (@ButtSidra) October 19, 2018

In the video, the guard takes the name of Dr. Yasmin Rashid, one of the Ministers who wanted this rule to be implemented. Twitter users have taken it to the social media platform to call out Dr. Rashid and have asked for an explanation.

@Dr_YasminRashid can you please explain why you have ordered that women should not be able to enter the Punjab Civil Secretariat without wearing a dupatta? I understand you wear a dupatta and I respect your choice. Shouldn’t you be respectful of the choices of other women?

— Sehar Tariq (@sehartariq) October 19, 2018

So women can’t enter the Punjab civil secretariat without wearing a dupatta, because the entire working of the secretariat will come to a halt? The secretariat functions as the epitome of moral values? What’s next – the religious police?

What are your thoughts about this new rule? Dupatta or no dupatta?

Creative Chaos Apologizes for Alleged Discrimination Over Hijab

Creative Chaos Issues Official Statement Over Hijab Controversy

Oct 19, 2018

Update: Creative Chaos once again issued a statement, following the investigation by Board of Directors.

According to the statement, both the Hiring Manager and CEO were guilty of violating ethos of the company, and have accepted their mistake.

Both are no longer a part of Creative Chaos.

Creative Chaos, a technology, digital and outsourcing services company has given a statement on Khalid Alvi Marketing Next group claiming the agency has a zero-tolerance policy against any kind of discrimination.

This came after a post went viral on social media by a girl who’s friend was hired as the Associate Talent Acquisition Officer at Creative Chaos. She was asked to resign from her job because of her hijab. She was told that the only way she could keep her position was to take it off. She refused to do so and sent in her resignation.

The company has very recently formally apologised and taken the following steps to express their regret over the matter:

1. Apologized to the associate in writing and have requested to meet her in person, to do the same.

2. Requested the associate to withdraw her resignation and continue working with them with confidence.
3. Suspended the hiring manager until a transparent inquiry is conducted for further concrete actions.

The representative further added that Creative Chaos’ values and ethos are built around creating a high-performance culture based on meritocracy, growth, mutual respect and collective tolerance.

“We only appraise you on your skills, qualifications and the value you create for our customers.” stated a representative from Creative Chaos.

On the other hand, the agency’s senior representative also mentioned that as far as the CEO is concerned, the board is currently looking into the matter and it will be dealt with accordingly.

The post has been circulating around social media, and made it to Khalid Alvi Marketing Next, a Facebook group where marketing experts and critics have discussions.

The friend also claims that the CEO agreed saying that they usually do not hire people who wear hijab or “maulana type guys” and it was a mistake at their end. They do not want to give the wrong image by hiring ‘such’ people.
