The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is one of the most hyped up events in the world of cricket. This prestigious tournament, held every four years, showcases the best of international cricket talent and brings together nations from around the globe to compete for the coveted title of world champions. The ICC Cricket World Cup is known for its fierce competition, thrilling matches, and unforgettable moments that captivate the cricketing world.

ICC under fire

Recently, ICC WC 23 has given us many nail biting matches and was able to potray the fierce competition which makes the game of cricket so entertaining. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has been at the center of a controversy surrounding its choice of music for the unveiling of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy video in its official Instagram page. ICC was a subjected to many mixed reactions when it opted for  the “Just Like a Wow ” for the trophy presentation video.

Here’s the video:

While the ICC may have had good intentions with their musical selection, many are now calling it an embarrassing blunder.

Why was the audio out of place?

The ICC Cricket World Cup is a prestigious tournament celebrated by cricket enthusiasts around the globe. The trophy presentation ceremony is a moment of great importance, symbolizing the culmination of intense competition and the crowning of a champion. Hence, it is crucial that every aspect of the ceremony, including the music, be dignified and in tune with the event’s gravity.

While there is no denying that the “Just like a wow” video was quite entertaining which is why it is making rounds on the internet but many have question the lack of occasion presence from ICC to use this to present the highest achievement in the dignified game of cricket.

Importance of public feedback

Ultimately, public feedback on such decisions can be diverse, and it’s not uncommon for events like this to generate a range of opinions and discussions. The ICC may take this feedback into consideration for future events and ceremonies to ensure that they resonate with a broader audience.

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

At the 2023 New York Auto Show, EV owners talked to many car enthusiasts who had a lot of questions about electric vehicles. They were eager to learn about costs, charging, environmental benefits, and more. Here, we’ll provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about electric cars in simple language.

Electric vehicle battery - Wikipedia
Source: MIT news

How far can an electric car drive on one charge?

Modern EVs can travel anywhere from 100 to over 400 miles on a single charge, depending on the make and model. Some 2023 models offer over 480 Km on a single charge, with a few going beyond 720 Km. Even affordable EVs can cover more than 400 Km on one charge. Keep in mind that these ranges are estimates and can vary depending on driving conditions.

How much does the cost of charging an electric car compare to the cost of gas?

Charging an EV is generally cheaper than fueling a gas car. Electricity is more cost-effective, even in areas with high electricity prices. Many utilities offer lower rates for EV charging during non-peak hours, saving you even more money.

What’s the difference between a regular hybrid and a plug-in hybrid?

Regular hybrids combine both electric and gas power seamlessly, with no need to plug in. They capture energy during braking to reduce gas usage. Plug-in hybrids, on the other hand, have larger batteries and can travel longer distances on electricity alone (typically 14-80 Km) by plugging into an outlet. This means they use less gas for local trips.

How can I find public charging stations for electric vehicles?

Phone apps like PlugShare, Google Maps, Apple Maps, ChargeHub, and others are handy for locating charging stations. These apps provide information on charger locations and types. Charging access is improving, with plans to install thousands of new chargers, especially in underserved communities, thanks to federal funding.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

Charging time depends on the charger type. Level 1 chargers, like a regular wall outlet, offer 3 to 8 Km of range per hour. Level 2 chargers provide about 35Km  of range per hour and are commonly found in public charging stations. Level 3 (superchargers) can charge an EV to 80% in about an hour and are available from various providers.

Are electric vehicle batteries recyclable?

Yes, EV batteries are recyclable. Up to 95% of an EV battery can be recycled, and some spent batteries can still store electricity generated by solar panels. While recycling EV batteries can be more challenging than aluminum cans, many companies are investing in battery recycling plants, creating jobs and reducing environmental impact.

Can EV also damage the environment?

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly larger models like SUVs, has raised concerns about their environmental impact. Here are some reasons why EVs, especially the larger ones, can potentially harm the environment:

  1. Larger and Heavier EVs Demand Bigger Batteries: As the market share of larger and heavier electric vehicles, particularly SUVs, continues to grow, these vehicles require more substantial and energy-dense batteries to power them. Larger batteries mean more raw materials, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel, which need to be extracted from the environment.
  2. Extraction of Raw Materials: The extraction of raw materials for battery production can have a significant environmental impact. It can lead to habitat destruction, increased water consumption, mining waste, and threats to local biodiversity. For example, lithium mining in areas like the Salar de Atacama in Chile has disrupted local ecosystems and affected flamingo breeding sites.
  3. Battery Production Emissions: The production of larger batteries is a carbon-intensive process, resulting in higher emissions from materials processing and manufacturing. In some cases, the CO₂ emissions for manufacturing electric SUV batteries can be up to 70% higher compared to smaller EVs.

Electric cars are changing the automotive landscape, and as technology advances, they become more accessible, eco-friendly, and affordable, making them a smart choice for many car lovers. However as new studies emerge, we see some potential drawbacks of using Electiv Vehicles as well.

Pakistani actor Mohib Mirza has made a revelation surrounding his delayed announcement of his marriage to Sanam Saeed.

During his appearance on Hassan Choudhary’s talk show, “The Talk Talk Show,” Mohib Mirza not only addressed the timing of his marital announcement but also delved into his perspective on marriage as a whole and the dynamics of gender roles.

A particularly inquisitive audience member questioned Mohib about the timing of his marriage announcement, leading to a somewhat defensive response. Mohib emphasized his autonomy, stating, “What do you know about when my marriage took place? There’s a difference between love confession and marriage. I’ve announced it several times; how many more times should I do it?.

When quizzed about who takes charge at home in his marriage, Mohib Mirza humorously debunked the traditional notion of being a ‘gentleman.’ He playfully justified that men cannot be overly ‘shareef’ due to their inherent nature.

Mohib Mirza and Sanam Saeed confirmed their relationship in March 2023 during Fahad Mustafa’s talk show, “The Fourth Umpire.” Surprisingly, they had tied the knot back in 2021 but had kept their relationship under wraps, never disclosing the actual date of their marriage.

Mohib disclosed that he began developing romantic feelings for Sanam during the shoot of their drama, “Deedan,” which was released in 2018. The shooting commenced in 2016-17, a time when Mohib was still married to Aamina Sheikh. Their divorce in 2019 paved the way for Mohib to enter a new chapter in his life with Sanam Saeed.

Here’s the full interview:

On the professional front, Mohib Mirza’s drama, “Razia,” is receiving acclaim and reaching new heights of success. The drama features the talented Mahira Khan, adding to the duo’s impressive body of work in the industry.

Wasim Akram Teases Today’s Pakistani Rappers in A Recent Video

By
Nimra Afzal
-

Former cricket legend Wasim Akram recently took centre stage with a hilarious rap verse on national television.

Appearing on his show “The Pavilion”, typically dedicated to in-depth cricket analysis, the conversation moved to the contemporary rappers as Wasim Akram poked fun at the surge of contemporary rap music in Pakistan.

“These days everyone is rapping, no? You keep hearing it on the radio,” he said during the show.

Singer Fakhar-e-Alam seized the opportunity to coax Wasim Akram into delivering an on-the-spot rap impression. After some initial reluctance, the former cricketer embraced the challenge.

While it came out funny, the gist of it was to lament the lack of depth and substance in today’s rap lyrics, hinting that many modern rap tracks predominantly revolve around the themes of young love and its challenges.

Rap music has indeed diversified over the years, from its street-style philosophical roots to more glamorous expressions.

 

The shift in lyrical content within the contemporary rap scene has been evident ever since American musicians gave it their personal touch.

Wasim Akram’s playful critique of contemporary rap reflects a broader conversation about the evolution of the genre, which in Pakistani industry revolves around young men finding ways to meet their lover without their girlfriend’s father finding out.

The light-hearted mimicry serves as a reminder of the potential for rap to continue addressing profound themes and social issues, as it initially emerged in African-American communities, often delivering philosophical insights on systemic issues and societal challenges. That era introduced the world to legendary artists like Tupac, who used rap to convey profound messages.

In a momentous encounter at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, young Afghan sensation Ibrahim Zadran etched his name in cricketing history, becoming the first Afghanistan player to score a century in an ODI World Cup match.

Zadran’s extraordinary feat not only secured him a place in the annals of cricketing history but also propelled him ahead of legends Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, making him the fourth youngest batter to record an ODI World Cup century.

This landmark achievement marked Zadran’s fifth ODI century, and its timing could not have been more crucial for his team. At just 21 years and 330 days old, Zadran secured his maiden World Cup century, surpassing the previous records held by cricketing icons Virat Kohli (22 years and 106 days) and Sachin Tendulkar (22 years and 300 days).

However, Zadran’s stellar innings was ultimately overshadowed by Glenn Maxwell’s astonishing double century, a Herculean effort that singlehandedly guided Australia to victory after they were reduced to a precarious 91-7 by the spirited Afghanistan bowlers.

While Zadran’s century marks a significant milestone, it is worth noting that the youngest batter to achieve an ODI World Cup century remains Ireland’s Paul Stirling, who accomplished this feat at just 20 years and 196 days during the 2011 edition of the tournament against the Netherlands.

Furthermore, Zadran’s achievement places him as the fourth youngest batter to notch an ODI century against the five-time World Champions, Australia, surpassing the accomplished South African opener Quinton de Kock in this particular ranking. His unbeaten innings of 129 runs, coupled with a blistering 35 runs from a mere 17 balls, enabled Afghanistan to post a formidable total of 291/5 against Australia, marking their highest-ever World Cup score.

Source: Cricinfo

The 21-year-old reached his century in 131 deliveries, including seven boundary strikes. This milestone surpasses the previous highest individual score for Afghanistan in the World Cup, set at 96 by Samiullah Shinwari against Scotland in Dunedin during the 2015 edition.

Throughout the game, Zadran played a pivotal role in three crucial half-century partnerships, contributing 83 runs for the second wicket with Rahmat Shah (30), 52 runs for the third wicket alongside skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi (26), and a crucial 58-run partnership with Rashid Khan towards the end, ultimately enabling Afghanistan to secure a highly competitive total.

In a cricketing extravaganza witnessed by the world, Glenn Maxwell unleashed a relentless assault on the Afghanistan bowling attack at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium during the 39th match of the ICC World Cup 2023.

From the onset, it was evident that no bowler could rein in Maxwell’s onslaught, which transformed into a match-winning double century. However, a critical missed opportunity by Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the early stages of Maxwell’s innings proved pivotal.

The internet erupted in a frenzy of awe and admiration for Maxwell’s historic innings, rating it as one of the greatest knocks in the annals of cricketing history.

Australia found themselves in dire straits at 91 for 7 when the Maxwell-Cummins partnership took centre stage. What followed was a symphony of record-breaking feats, as bowlers found themselves at the mercy of Maxwell’s blistering assault. The crowd at Wankhede roared in unison, all thanks to the unstoppable force that was Glenn Maxwell.

Maxwell’s blade dispatched 10 sixes and 21 fours, culminating in a breathtaking 201 runs off just 128 balls, showcasing a staggering strike rate of 157.03. The contest had seemingly tilted firmly in Afghanistan’s favour, with Australia stumbling, having lost seven wickets in pursuit of 292, and not even a hundred runs on the board. Yet, in a turn of events, Maxwell, almost single-handedly, shattered the hopes of Afghanistan’s fans and players in the heart of Mumbai.

With this extraordinary performance, Maxwell not only rescued Australia but propelled them into the semifinals, standing tall with an unbeaten 201 from 128 deliveries.

Maxwell also broke a plethora of records during his historic double century knock against Afghanistan, etching his name into the history books forever.

Glenn Maxwell scored an unbeaten double century in an extraordinary ODI performance at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium during the ICC World Cup 2023 clash against Afghanistan.

The Afghan bowlers, defending a target of 292, had Australia reeling at 91/7, seemingly on the brink of a colossal upset. However, Maxwell had different plans, turning the game on its head.

Maxwell’s remarkable innings began with a stroke of luck, as a crucial dropped catch by Mujeeb Ur Rahman proved pivotal. From there, he unleashed a relentless onslaught, transforming his initial 33 runs into an astonishing 207. Displaying brutal force, Maxwell hammered an impressive 21 fours and ten sixes, guiding Australia to an unprecedented victory.

Despite battling cramps and a back spasm, Maxwell’s resolve remained unbroken. He powered through the pain, hobbling for singles in the latter stages of his innings. His masterful strokeplay left no room for a second chance, asserting his dominance with unwavering might.

It was a record-breaking night, simply because of the ‘Glenn Maxwell’ show. Here are five of the most significant records that the Australian batter broke en route to his unbeaten 201.

A post shared by ICC (@icc)

Highest ODI score while batting at No. 6 or below

Maxwell came to bat at No. 6 when Australia were 49/4 inside the powerplay. His knock of 201* is now the highest individual score by any batter while batting at No. 6 or below in ODI cricket.

Another historical knock, where Kapil Dev hammered 175 runs against Zimbabwe at the 1983 World Cup, is now second on the list.

Maxwell’s 201* is now also the highest individual score while batting at No. 6 in List-A cricket. David Wiese scored 171 for Sussex while batting at No. 6 in 2019.

Highest partnership for 7th wicket or lower in ODI history

Maxwell and Cummins added 202* runs for the eighth wicket against Afghanistan. While Maxwell did the bulk of run-scoring, the role that Cummins played was also worth its weight in gold.

Their 202*-run stand is now the highest for any seventh-wicket or lower partnership in one-day internationals. The duo overtook the 177-run stand put up by Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid in an ODI against New Zealand in Birmingham in 2015.

Highest ODI score for Australia

After a total of 994 ODIs, Australia now finally have their first double centurion. The record five-time World Cup champions have always produced remarkable batting talents over the decades.

However, Maxwell’s 201* is now the highest individual score for the Aussie unit in ODI cricket. The previous highest was held by Shane Watson when he scored 185* against Bangladesh in Mirpur in 2011.

Source: Cricinfo

First ODI double century by a non-opener

While there have been 10 ODI individual double centuries prior to the Australia vs. Afghanistan clash, none of them came from a non-opening batter.

Starting from Sachin Tendulkar (200* vs SA) to Shubman Gill (208 vs NZ), the list was packed with opening batters.

Maxwell has now become the first-ever non-opener to hit a double century in an ODI innings. As mentioned earlier, he batted at No. 6.

First ODI double century while chasing

Another commonality between the previous double hundreds was that all came while batting first. Batting first allows a batter to hit more freely. However, it is always difficult to pile up huge runs with the scoreboard pressure while batting second.

Maxwell showed nerves of steel against Afghanistan as he brought his side home while chasing 292 in Mumbai. His 201* is now the first-ever double ton while chasing in One-Day International history.

Why Can’t People Stop Trolling Aiman And Minal Khan?

By

Pakistani actresses Aiman Khan and Minal Khan have been under constant scrutiny for their personal choices and lifestyle, be it their wedding or their family.

The latest round of criticism emerged with a family picture of the two celebrity sisters with their husbands taken two months after Aiman Khan gave birth to her second child in August of this year.

Netizens were taken aback when they saw Aiman Khan’s post-pregnancy appearance expressed surprise at no improvement in her body weight after the delivery.

It’s essential to acknowledge that post-pregnancy bodily changes are entirely natural and include facial swelling and weight gain. These physical transformations are an inherent part of the pregnancy journey and should be celebrated rather than criticized.

Minal Khan, too, found herself subjected to unsolicited remarks about her appearance in the last month of her pregnancy.

Some individuals offered unsolicited advice, suggesting that the sisters should exclusively wear traditional attire to conceal the added weight, while others attempted to invalidate Aiman’s experience by stating that they had not faced similar changes after giving birth.

The comments reveal the disturbing trend of body-shaming and unrealistic expectations placed on women after childbirth.

Amidst the critical comments, one fan stood out by recognizing the reality of post-pregnancy changes and showing empathy towards the sisters.

This is not the first time Aiman Khan has faced hate for how her body changed during pregnancy. Back in 2019, when she delivered her first child, similar comments flooded her social media.

Unfortunately, some users seized the opportunity to pass unwarranted judgment on the sisters’ acting abilities.

A lot of factors have to be kept in perspective when it comes to buying a car. Whether your commute is a long one or a short one is also something that matters. Your choice to get a car can also differ on whether you have inner city travel more or outer city travel. All of these decisions can help one select a car of their choice.

However, there is one thing that can make a huge difference over the long term. The question that occupies the mind of a buyer is whether they should go for a 1000cc car or a 1300cc car. Both of these engine capacities have their pros and cons, but one weighs heavier than the other. Let us take a look at some of the key differences.

1. Fuel Efficiency of A Car

How much fuel of a car is consumed over a distance can differ a lot with respect to engine size. A 1000cc engine is a smaller engine, which produces lesser power but also burns less fuel doing so. Vehicles like the Cultus, Passo, Khyber, Belta are all cars that have a good fuel average compared to 1.3L engines such as Suzuki Swift, Toyota Corolla, Suzuki Baleno.

2. Feeling Underpowered

At times, a 1000cc car can feel underpowered to the driver due to the engine size. If you run your air conditioner in a 1000cc car, you can feel the difference in power production when you turn it on or off. In comparison, the air conditioner in a 1300cc car does not impact the load on the engine by as much. Rather, they can handle the AC and the engine running together quite well.

3. Long Distance Travel

When it comes to travelling inside of the city, a 1000cc car is preferred due to less fuel consumption. However, when it comes to travelling cross-country, people prefer to do so using a 1300cc car. It is the sweet spot between 1000cc and 1600cc engines where the fuel burns less on long distances. Vehicles like Honda City give an amazing fuel average over long distances.

4. Space In a Car

When it comes to space, 1300cc cars are often sedans as compared to 1000cc hatchbacks. The exceptions here are Suzuki Swift and Toyota Belta. However, 1300cc cars certainly offer a lot more storage space. In comparison, 1000cc cars offer less space, but are more nimble in heavy traffic. It is easier to maneuver a car if it does not have a full trunk on the back.

5. Maintenance Cost

When it comes to the maintenance cost of a car, it can be cheaper to maintain a 1000cc car. The parts of a Suzuki Cultus can be cheaper than those of a Suzuki Swift. Similarly, the sparts parts of a Toyota Passo can be cheaper than those of the Toyota Corolla.

That said, it can be seen that for longer commutes and a storage application, a 1300cc car is preferred. It even handles higher engine loads well. However, for inner city travel involving traffic jams and cheaper spare parts, 1000cc cars are preferred. It depends a lot on the application but the writer of the article sees the 1300cc cars as having more advantages.

Ramiz Raja recently made headlines during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 for his unique way of appreciating a spectacular catch by Mushfiqur Rahim, the Bangladeshi wicketkeeper. In this thrilling cricket fixture against Sri Lanka, Ramiz Raja took inspiration from catchy social media phrase which has been making rounds on the internet.

Ramiz Raja’s Playful Commentary

Iftikhar Ahmed had also previously praised his teammate Fakhar Zaman’s exceptional batting performance in the World Cup 2023 fixture against New Zealand in a similar manner. His tweet read, “So beautiful, so elegant, just looking like a wow!” This catchy phrase caught the attention of fans and fellow cricketers alike.

In a surprising turn of events, Ramiz Raja decided to use the catchy “What a wow” line to describe Mushfiqur Rahim’s incredible catch to dismiss Sri Lankan opener Kusal Perera. This catch was made possible thanks to the skillful bowling of Shoriful Islam. Ramiz Raja, in his characteristic style, exclaimed, “You come to know a lot of new words on social media, and I want to use a funny term that I read just the other day – ‘What A Wow.'”

We dont blame Ramiz Raja since he isnt the only one using this phrase. Celebrities like Deepika Padukone have also hopped onto the bandwagon of the viral video and has contributed to the entertainment.

Celebrating the Lighter Side of Cricket

His unexpected choice of words left his co-commentator, Russel Arnold, in splits. The commentary box was filled with laughter as cricket fans around the world appreciated Ramiz Raja’s sense of humor and creativity.

This memorable moment occurred during a crucial match in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, where Sri Lanka faced Bangladesh. Unfortunately for Sri Lanka, they were officially eliminated from the tournament after suffering a three-wicket defeat in a fiercely contested match.

Ramiz Raja’s unique and light-hearted commentary not only added a touch of humor but also showcased the camaraderie and sportsmanship shared by cricketers and commentators alike. It goes to show that in the world of sports, it’s not just about the game but also about the moments that bring joy and laughter to the fans.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been nothing short of a sensation. Showcasing its diverse capabilities in drafting college essays, writing computer programs, and retrieving information from across the web. Now, OpenAI has taken a significant step forward by allowing anyone to create a personalized chatbot or AI agent. This can be done without the need for coding skills. This announcement was made during OpenAI’s first developer conference, OpenAI DevDay.

Building Chatbots Without Coding Skills

The new feature aims to extend ChatGPT’s capabilities by enabling individuals to build their own custom chatbots powered by this technology. These chatbots can be tailored to address specific problems or interests in people’s lives.  These vary from teaching the rules of a board game to helping children with math or even assisting in designing stickers using AI-generated art. What makes this even more remarkable is that creating these chatbots is incredibly user-friendly – no coding skills are required.

To create a custom chatbot or AI agent, referred to as “GPTs” by OpenAI, users simply need to have a conversation with ChatGPT. And also specifying what they want the bot to do. Behind the scenes, ChatGPT generates the necessary code to create and run the new chatbot. These chatbots can also integrate with other platforms, accessing databases, searching emails, and automating e-commerce orders.

Monetizing Chatbot Creations

OpenAI is not only encouraging people to build these chatbots but also offering them an opportunity to make money from their creations. Users with Plus or Enterprise ChatGPT subscriptions can start building chatbots today. OpenAI is set to launch an online chatbot store where users can discover GPTs from “verified builders” selected by the company.

Some prominent companies, including biotech firm Amgen, management consultancy Bain, and payments processor Square, have already started building and using GPTs internally. This underscores the versatility and practicality of these custom chatbots.

Future of Chatbots and AI Agents

OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, stated, “You can build a GPT—a customized version of ChatGPT—for almost anything.” With the power of instructions, knowledge expansion, and action, GPTs can prove to be highly helpful in various aspects of daily life.

OpenAI’s move to enable chatbots to take action is seen as a logical progression in making chatbots more powerful. The hinderence is that current AI models have limitations in reasoning. But this step forward could bridge the gap between “true” agents and their current capabilities.

However, with the rise of GPTs, they might also start competing with one another. This includeds OpenAI’s own customers who are building simpler tools based on its technology.

It is reported that 50 teams will participate in this year’s competition, with a total prize of $3 million up for grabs. According to the schedule, the preliminary round of the competition league will run from November 2nd to 26th in Malaysia where each participating team will compete for the 14 finalist seats.

The interviewed PUBG player

For mobile game enthusiasts, this e-sports tournament is undoubtedly an unmissable event which also has the ability to offer global exposure to the partnering sponsors. In previous years, it was typical for veteran mobile phone manufacturers – such as Oneplus, Vivo, and Sony Xperia – to sponsor competitions, but now with Infinx’s involvement, a younger audience and more energetic atmosphere has been drawn to the event. This is thanks to both Infinix’s position as an emerging trendy brand and the impressive GT 10Pro model’s support within the competition.

Infinix Engineers testing equipment

As a new-generation e-sports phone, the Infinix GT 10Pro features a 120Hz high refresh rate e-sports screen that supports event-level touch delay as well as the advanced 6nm technology of the MediaTek D8050 5G game chip. Collaboration with game manufacturers has led to extensive optimization and tuning of the technology which has not only achieved a high frame performance of 90 frames with PUBG, but additionally a high frame and picture performance of 120 frames and 90 frames respectively on Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Free Fire. The competition phone model provided by Infinix for the PUBG tournament comfortably meets the rigorous performance standards; enhances the Type-C interface and fixed network capabilities; and simulates both the temperature, lighting, and sound field of the competition scene for comprehensive optimization. If that wasn’t already impressive enough, both the Aurora Engine 3.0 and Darwin Engine 3.0 confidently deliver participants with a thrilling, fast-reaction experience, empowering competitors to seize every opportunity towards winning the competition.

Teams trying out GT 10Pro for gaming

The cooperation between both Infinix and PUBG Mobile has opened the possibility for future collaboration scenarios in which both sides will jointly pursue a truly superior gaming experience for players.

Although PepsiCo’s Doritos chips enjoy popularity among gamers, their noisy crunch has been a longstanding annoyance. The beverage and snacking company has calculated that 85% of U.S. gamers have eaten Doritos in the last three months. However, almost a third of individuals have indicated that the noise from others’ crunching hinders their gaming performance and concentration.

Doritos Introduces ‘Noise Cancelling Crisps’

To “assist gamers in maintaining a quieter snacking experience,” Doritos is introducing a product they refer to as “Doritos Silent.” Gamers can download the Doritos Crunch Cancellation software. When activated it identifies and suppresses the crunching sounds while preserving the gamer’s voice.

The tool was developed in collaboration with Smooth Technology, a creative engineering and design studio based in Brooklyn. It was spearheaded by Doritos’ U.K. division. To access this feature, consumers are required to provide their name and email address on a website, indicating that Doritos may collect valuable first-party data through this promotion.

The software, which required six months of development, harnessed the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze over 5,000 distinct crunch sounds.

Advertising played a crucial role in building anticipation for the launch. Social media posts and out-of-home placements introduced the concept of “making Doritos silent” by featuring images of the chips as noise-canceling headphones. This campaign was conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Brazil, and Portugal. Doritos has also released commercials that humorously dramatize the process of canceling crunch sounds.

“The connection between Doritos fans and the gaming community is undeniable,” Fernando Kahane, global marketing head at PepsiCo, said in a statement. “Both boldly and unapologetically embrace their flavors. ‘Doritos Silent’ recognizes this bond and demonstrates the brand’s continued commitment to innovation and elevating the experience for gamers who choose Doritos.”

Shalwar Baba Becomes The Next Interesting Find On The Internet

Pakistan’s interior Sindh is home to the graves of remarkable saints whose sacred resting places still draw countless followers seeking blessings and solutions to their worries.

Among these revered figures is Baba Shalwar Shah, a man whose tomb has gone viral multiple times. The tomb recently caught the attention of Pakistani comedian Ali Gul Pir who made a parody video.

According to local folklore, Sindhi folksmen hold the belief that one can get their worries resolved by taking off their shalwar (traditional lower garment) at the shrine and leaving them there, on condition that you cannot bring an extra pair of bottoms, the original clip revealed.

Interestingly, men and women both partake in this activity at the tomb as there are hundreds of shalwar already hung on the tree just beside the grave, which is believed to be located in Saangarh, as per online sources.

How and when it started is still a mystery as there is little context on the background. However, it isn’t the only tomb in Sindh where devotees perform this distinct ritual.

Another video found on the internet offers a glimpse into another tomb in Sindh where people participate in this ritual. Here, visitors disrobe, perform a ceremonial cleansing, and change into spare clothing, all with the belief that it will cure their ailments or sickness.

It is pertinent to mention that these beliefs are often based on hearsay, passed down through generations. It’s crucial to remember that the saints themselves were pious individuals who dedicated their lives to worshiping God and there were never such directives from the saint.

Yousuf firmly believes that it would take a stroke of bad luck for India to face defeat, given their comprehensive coverage in all facets of the game.

“I firmly believe India won’t lose any match in the tournament. It would take bad luck for them to face defeat. They have all their bases covered, and are a team without any weaknesses,” he concluded.

As it stands, India stands unrivaled in the tournament, securing victory in all eight matches. Their triumphs have not only been consistent but also commanding, with victories over formidable opponents like Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In their recent clash against South Africa, India delivered a resounding 243-run victory, showcasing their dominance in the competition.
