3. Coffee Mornings

Getting morning coffee was never this glamorous or shareable. Everyone wants to share their morning routine and tell the world how they can absolutely not survive without the usual dose of coffee everyday!

And even that, it never seems to get too old.

4. With Bae

The number of times with bae images or stories are shared, still the more annoying it remains. Every single errand run with the significant other has to be snapped and shared for the eyes of those who are tuned to your snapchats day in and day out? (not really, don’t kid yourself)!

They will keep coming but it’s up to you if you want the world to know you have an imaginary bae or not..

7 Delicious Foods That Were Created ‘By Accident’

foodpanda

All greatest discoveries are results of accidents.

Luckily, such accidents have helped us live through some of the most delicious experimental disasters.

It is on the paradoxical nature of mistakes to always impose an equal chance of great success. From X-rays, to play-doh, chewing gum to the microwave oven, there is a lot that can be said for minds that witnessed gaffes turning into historical masterpieces.

Here are some of the Inventions born under the influence of laziness, luck or just pure failure. Mobile and online food ordering platform foodpanda.pk chose eight foods that are the result of pure serendipity.

1. CRÊPES SUZETTE (CREPES)

Who invented it? Henri Charpentier

When? 1896

What happened? Improvisation

CREPES

In 1896, the 16-year-old waiter Henri Charpentier, tried to extinguish a flaming pan with pancakes. It was the day that Prince of Wales Edward VII visited Monte Carlo’s Café de Paris and requested a special dessert just for him. Henri accidentally caught a pan of liqueurs on fire and thinking quickly; he threw the crêpes in the hot sweet sauce and served them.

The Prince loved them and asked for the dessert’s name, to which Charpentier replied Crêpe Princesse, after him. But future King Edward requested that it be named in honour of his companion, named Suzette and voilà! Crêpes Suzette was unintentionally -but luckily for us- born!

2. TARTE TATIN (UPSIDE DOWN TARTS)

Who invented it? Stéphanie & Caroline Tatin

When? 19th century

What happened? Laziness

TARTS

The upside-down dessert was created because a tart was forgotten in the oven. It was in France, in a hotel owned by two sisters, Stéphanie and Caroline Tatin, in the 19th century.

Stéphanie was making an apple tart but accidentally overcooked the apples, so tried to rescue it by putting the pastry base on top, and voilà! A masterpiece was created. The French did it again.

3. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Who invented it? Ruth Graves Wakefield

When? 1930

What happened? Resourcefulness

COOKIE

The chocolate chip cookie was first made by Ruth Wakefield, who had one day ran out of baking chocolate, so she smashed up a bar of semisweet chocolate and added it to her batter hoping it would all melt together.

But the pieces remained intact: what resulted was a cookie with chunks of chocolate, and so the chocolate chip cookie was born. Soon, her hotel was known for its chocolate chip cookies.

4. POTATO CHIPS

Who invented it? George Crum

When? 1853

What happened? Revenge

CHIPS

George Crum, an American chef, in 1853 was tired of a customer who was complaining that his fried potatoes were not thin enough. So Crum decided to take his revenge by making them inedible. He sliced them thinly, baked them to a crisp and covered them with salt.

The customer loved them and the rest is history.

5. SANDWICH

Who invented it? John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich

When? Sometime in the 1700s

What happened? Gambling problem

SANDWICH

John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich just needed both hands to gamble. Some believe Motagu couldn’t leave a particularly intense gambling game, so he requested that meat should be brought to him between two pieces of bread.

Montagu’s refusal to get up for a meal resulted in one of the greatest culinary advances in history.

6. COCA-COLA

Who invented it? John Pemberton

When? 1886

What happened? Addiction

COLA

Coca Cola was first invented as a substitute to morphine. Pemberton was a wounded veteran who had become addicted to morphine. He sought to create a replacement to stave off his addiction.

Through some experimenting in his pharmacy, he created a tonic (the original Coca-Cola formula) that contained small amounts of cocaine, as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut. In 1887, another Atlanta pharmacist, Asa Candler, bought the formula for Coca-Cola from Pemberton for $2,300.

By the late 1890s, Coca-Cola was one of America’s most popular fountain drinks, largely due to Candler’s aggressive marketing of the product as a soda.

7. POPSICLES (ICE LOLLY)

Who invented it? Frank Epperson

When? 1905

What happened? Absentmindedness

LOLLY

Young Frank Epperson left a glass of soda on his San Francisco front porch with a stirring stick in it.

By the next morning, the drink had frozen and when he pulled the stick, the drink came with it. In 1924, he applied for a patent for his new discovery, which he originally dubbed the “Epsicle”. Eventually, his kids would refer to the frozen pop as Pop’s‘sicle, causing Epperson to change the name.

In 1923, Epperson sold the rights to Popsicle® and today, the company sells 2 billion ice pops annually, with cherry being the most popular flavor amongst its consumers.

8. ICE CREAM CONES

Who invented it? Ernest Hamwi

When? 1904

What happened? Love thy neighbor

ICECREAM

At the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, when an ice cream vendor ran out of dishes. To help him out, Hamwi, a neighboring concessionaire, rolled the waffle-like pastries he was selling (called zalabis) into a cone so that the ice cream could be held inside.

Talk about an accident that turned out oh-so-right.

CES 2017: 7 Gadgets Changing the Future of Technology

CES 2017 is the ultimate hub for all electronic lovers to meet in one place and experiment with new gadgets and upcoming tech.

While everyone is exploring hundreds of gadgets, there are a few which are ready to change the future of technology as we know it.

Here are 7 gadgets that are doing exactly that:

1. ODG’s ‘Mixed Reality’ Smart Glasses

ODG combined VR and AR together, with the help of Snapdragon 835, the Mixed Reality Smart Glasses are similar to HoloLens but lighter in weight. The ODG R-8 and R-9 AR/VR headsets give wearers. They’re not the first AR/VR devices, but they do run cheap compared to competitors at $1,000 and $1,800, respectively. If nothing else, that looks great to your wallet.

2. Kuri Robot

By Christmas 2017, little boys and girls who always wanted younger siblings will get Kuri, the smallest home robot. Created by Mayfield Robotics, Kuri is a 20-inch-tall, 12-inch-wide home robot is packed to the brim with technologies like asynchronous motors, a capacitive touch sensor, microphones, speakers, and an HD camera.

However, it is a little more amiable than your average robot. It animates playfully when you call its name. It emotes audibly when instructed to perform a task. And a built-in LED changes colour to indicate its current state of mood. Kuri is more like a companion than a toy or just any other robot.

3. Faraday Future FF91 Car

Faraday Friday, an electric car setup, debuted their FF 91 at CES 2017. The futuristic electric vehicle has self-parking, autonomous driving, a 378-mile range and ubiquitous screens all around the cabin.

The FF 91 looks promising, but with production facilities only existing on paper at this stage, it’s reasonable to worry whether the car will ever roll out on the road, not to forget that rivals like Tesla and Google have autonomous cars lined up to out on the streets very soon.

4. Kado’s Smart Charger

Kado nailed one of the most useful gadgets we all need, in the handiest way. The company successfully managed to create a charger which can easily fit into your wallet for a price of $50. The company has also introduced a laptop version of the wallet-fitting charger for $100. Now, you will not have to worry about the hassles of carrying heavyweight chargers or their wires anymore.

5. Motiv Ring

For a cost of $200, health fanatics can purchase the Motive Ring very soon. The ring is a fitness tracker, which feels like an ordinary ring and adapts so fast that you don’t really realise its there. It is capable of tracking your heart rate, analysing your sleep, and tracking calories, all while being worn on your finger. It then sends all of that information via Bluetooth to your smartphone so you can keep track.

6. PowerVision PowerRay Underwater Drone

This is not just any regular underwater drone, this beauty can submerge up to 98 feet (30 meters) and records 4K video streamed to your phone, which you use to navigate. That’s not all, it is also equipped with an impressive Fishfinder sonar that can detect fish up to 131 feet (40 meters) away. It can even lure them with a blue light. Still not wowed? PowerVision will be offering VR goggles that allow you to robot around by tilting your head.

7. HP Sprout G2 3D-scanning PC

Coming out in March 2017, the Sprout G2, with its integrated 3D and 2D scanners, is perfect for product designers, CGI creators and other folks who can benefit from incorporating 3D models into their workflow. It’s also got a stylus-enabled touch mat that acts as a second screen.

5 Unique & Popular Marketing Methods in Pakistan

Pakistan is becoming more aware and modern in every aspect; whether it be the fashion industry, the movie industry or the automotive industry, the country has been advancing prosperously. Similarly, the world of media and advertising in Pakistan has also seen magnificent changes.

With every passing day, we see new experiments being conducted, new billboards making their way into town, and novel approaches being made to take the level a notch higher. In such an innovative, and challenging industry that competes interms of creativity, there are 5 creative advertisement methods that managed to stand out.

1. Digital OOH Adverts

Digital advertising is one of the latest trends in Pakistan. For those who cross Najeeb Centre, Allah Wali Chowrangi, Karachi, you must have noticed a gigantic screen located right above McDonalds. This was a very smart move because the daily traffic of that route is commendable. The road leads to the busy roads of Shara-e-Faisal, Tariq Road, Badurabadh, Sindhi Muslim, and other populated areas.

najeeb

Secondly, interactive visuals attract more individuals than plain old billboards, even the ones in 3D. Every time someone passes by the screen, they tend to take at least one look at it to see what’s trending. Lays Pakistan and Core Media took advantage of that, they used the screen smartly to advertise their new campaign #PassASmile.

2. Digital Advertising on Billboards

Kinetic Pakistan did something similar like Lays Pakistan’s ad for 15th Lux Style Awards held recently in August. The idea of roping in a celeb like Mahira Khan to wave and point at people, caught lots of attention.



For those who crossed by, it felt as if she were waving and smiling and pointing at them, which grabbed all the attention needed to get everyone engaged. That’s not all, the best part about this advertisement method was the golden glitz and glamor that theaam awaam’ got to be a part of.

3. Iconic Mascot Branding

People tend to remember only the important things they want to keep in their memories. You may not exactly remember what you did yesterday, but you do remember the highlights of it because those are the moments you want to remember the day by. Just like that, some brands create iconic mascots using popular celebrities as brand ambassadors.

One example of this is Oye Hoye, the brand which has introduced the chocolate boy Fawad Khan in a unique and never seen before avatar, ‘Oochi’. Stimulus Productions and Soho Square have managed to bring a new version of Fawad on to the screens in the funniest way possible.

4. Outdoor Branding at Famous Locations

The definition of outdoor branding has changed in recent times, not only has the concept changed, the dynamics of advertisement with it has changed as well. We get to see colorful buildings with life-size ads, beautiful roundabouts covered with new displays every few days.

Shan Foods tackled something very interesting. Not too long ago at Sindhi Muslim (known for the food outlets) they changed the look of the plain and boring roundabout into something more eye catching.

outdoorbranding

Known as a food brand, Shan’s aim is to target the foodie audience, the location was a smart choice. Pepsi Pakisan and other companies have also done something like that to gain people’s undivided attention.

5. Social Welfare Campaign Marketing

Recently, we saw many bus stops sporting Surf Excel ads, however, one of the unique features of branding was how the company was marketing its product while pitching in to help for a social cause. Karachi and Pakistan as a whole saw a new trend, Dewar-e-Mehrbani, which became viral in no time.

The concept of this cause is to share clothing items with those who are in need. So, Surf Excel decided to infuse this campaign with their marketing campaign and created a new strategy with the tagline ‘Maded Ek Ibadat’.

Objectification of Men in Advertising

Objectification of Men in Advertising

You go out shopping and stare at various billboards flaunting different brands but what really catches your mind is what catches your eyes. Yes, the tempting models draw your steps towards the brand because your eyes give a go signal to your brain to move in that direction.

Many lobbies have spoken against portraying women as weaker yet appealing gender or as sex symbols for the sake of booming sales in the advertising industry.

While this indeed is true, we often tend to forget that since the past few decades, men (with six packs and shiny bodies) have been working hard to replace the fairer sex in that department.

Does Sex really Sell?

Yes it does. Call it exploitation or a pavement into marketing strategies, targeting men as sex symbols is not at all a new concept but it is the best because sex sells like no other thing.

Some leading and manly brands like Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani became pioneers of this type of advertising when they showed men with demigod statures posing with their nearly nude bodies to promote fragrances, briefs and apparels to increase sales.

Many brands handpick the hottest men walking on the planet like footballers David Beckham and Christiano Ronaldo. Showing off their abs and tattooed well-built biceps; they are able to capture the attention, if not heart, of every passerby.

Even the famous old Spice advert which featured Isaiah Mustafa charmed many, as he exposed his shirtless body to the world.

Objectification of Men in Advertising 2Recently in Karachi, we saw a different outlook of semi nude men when they were sprawled on the billboards in a seductive manner to promote Stoneage Jeans. Though the men weren’t very manly, it can be considered a new manner for advertising men in our norms.

Does this technique always work? Many times the buyers feel that there isn’t really a need to put up semi-naked people in the product promotion.

Sex appeal is becoming an important component of advertising across the world because of the huge response it scoops and often the appeal is without any necessary purpose. In an AXE commercial we can expect sizzling bodies of men because it is in line with its positioning, but in a salad dressing advert we won’t really prefer checking out an almost nude man – like in Kraft’s Italian Salad – rather we would want to see the dressing itself not an undressed man.

Objectification of Men in Advertisingficat

“In advertising, sex sells. But only if you’re selling sex” said Jef I. Richards.

Or the Tom Ford adverts, where the branding could have been equally plausible even if the men wore something. And even more astounding was the way photographer Armin Morbach used a not-so-appealing technique to sell wrist watches.

Sell the Product not Just Sex

Be it jeans, scents or briefs, men are shown to be unstoppable in their pursuit to become classy objects for sex, but whichever gender it maybe, its abuse is unsuitable especially when the same product can be sold in various other ways as well. But we got to agree that we all love to please our eyes with charming things, be it some piece of art or a product or even human being, our hand goes towards the brand which our eyes say yes to.

Kinetic Pakistan Implements DOOH for World’s Largest Social Media Website, Facebook

Where would this generation be without Facebook? The popular social media website has taken over the lives of everyone and if we hear someone who doesn’t use it, we gasp in surprise. Almost everyone owning a computer of mobile phone has access to Facebook. With the number of users rapidly growing, the digital giant now took a leap to reach out to those people who currently have limited access to the internet. Introducing Facebook Flex.

This latest free of cost feature is being launched by leveraging upon the reach of Out of Home (OOH) media to engage the maximum number of people. This groundbreaking campaign, merging digital & OOH was recently spotted at the busy Railway station in Lahore.

The innovative DOOH on billboards and bus shelters was conceptualized and deployed by Kinetic Pakistan in collaboration with Momentum Media. The creative content was designed by BBDO Pakistan.

Kinetic Pakistan – one of the leading names in OOH Advertising, has produced many creative and out of the box ideas for its clients in 2016. So it’s hardly surprising their plans for 2017 are bigger than ever. With the help of digital screens, the out of home landscape for advertising is being digitized. Now you can experience OOH advertising like never before.

Facebook Flex

In order to spread the word about Facebook Flex the advertising is targeting the masses on the go, people travelling in vehicles etc. This is an ideal way to engage the audience and have a lasting impact in a short time span. Bus shelters have also been utilized for this purpose. The digital screens relay the message in a simple and straightforward manner catching the audiences’ attention.

First time ever, the digital screens were installed on bus shelters which displayed the Facebook Flex step guide. These eye-catching bus shelters not only transformed the passive OOH vehicle into an engaging experience for the potential viewers but also educated them in turn assisting in converting the audience’s attention into action.

Facebook Flex is a free cost feature launched by the social media website allowing users to access it without internet. Now many people know about it, thanks to the OOH advertising. The campaign made use of a large scale digital billboard on the busy Railway Station road in Lahore. The engaging screen of a smartphone is displayed across it on which an endless conversation on Facebook Messenger is being conducted. This certainly catches the eye of everyone who passes by it. This digital billboard became an instant hit and the talk of the town.

Pakistani Universities Not Included in Top World Rankings, Here’s Why!

Ever wondered why our Pakistani universities are never able to make it to the list of the top-ranked universities in the world? QS and TIMES have the highest ranked bodies of the world and Pakistani universities did not make it to the top 500’s list in the world.

The main reason for this is the education governing body HEC which only emphasizes on quantity over quality in universities across the country. It has become compulsory for faculty to publish research articles without maintaining the quality of the work.

11 Things Every University Student in Pakistan Can Relate To!

HEC’s focus on quantity is eliminating research in Pakistan!

According to QS ranking, LUMS ranks as 111th in Asia and TIMES ranks Quaid-E-Azam University at 601+ in the World. HEC is known to recognize journals that do not meet the requirements of being research journals at all. These do not publish volumes on the web making the research cited obsolete.

However, in light of recent cold war between India and Pakistan’s entertainment fraternity, chances are Aslam will face a massive backlash on his song!

Atif’s concert was canceled in Gurgaon owing to unrest in both the lands.  What is more, he was also been chopped off from the soundtrack of Bollywood’s upcoming movie Tum Bin 2.
