Elon Musk, the tech billionaire known for his ambitious projects and ventures, has recently made a significant branding change to Twitter, the social media giant he acquired in October 2022 for an astounding $44 billion. As part of his ongoing efforts to revamp the platform, Musk has implemented various alterations, but the most prominent one is the rebranding of Twitter to “X” and the retirement of the famous blue bird logo. Let’s delve into the details and the reactions it has stirred.

The Evolution of Twitter Under Musk’s Leadership

Since taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has been on a mission to reshape the platform and push it into new territories. Some notable changes he has made so far include:

Timeline Tweaks: Musk changed the order in which users see tweets on their timeline, altering the traditional chronological layout.
API Access Payment: He started requiring payment for access to Twitter’s API, affecting developers and third-party services relying on the platform’s data.
Controversial Accounts Reinstatement: Several previously banned accounts, deemed to have violated Twitter’s rules, were reinstated, sparking debates about content moderation.
Twitter Blue: Musk introduced a premium subscription service called Twitter Blue, which allows users to pay for verification and other exclusive features.

The “X” Rebranding: A Bold Move

In a surprising move, Musk announced on July 22 that Twitter would be rebranded as “X.” This change marked the most significant branding shift under Musk’s leadership. He also hinted at phasing out the iconic blue bird logo in favor of the new identity.

Mixed Reactions and Internet Humor

The announcement of Twitter’s rebranding was met with mixed reactions from users and industry experts alike. Many expressed skepticism and humor towards the change, leading to an array of internet memes and jokes:

Twitter CEO’s Vision: Linda Yaccarino, Twitter’s CEO, described “X” as the future state of unlimited interactivity powered by AI, but some users mocked the grandiose description.

Concerns about the Impact

While the humor and memes took center stage, some individuals expressed genuine concerns about the potential impact of the drastic change. TikTok user Jules Terpak pointed out the cultural significance of the term “tweeting” and its role in shaping internet culture beyond Twitter.

Musk’s Clarification and Future Possibilities

In response to the reactions, Elon Musk clarified that the “X” logo is an interim logo, suggesting that it might evolve in the future. The rebranding decision leaves users pondering how this new identity will shape Twitter’s future and its place in the evolving social media landscape.

The Verdict: Awaiting the Future of “X”

Elon Musk’s rebranding of Twitter to “X” and the departure from the blue bird logo has left the internet community both amused and uncertain. As the new identity gradually takes root, only time will tell whether Musk’s vision of unlimited interactivity and AI-driven connections will become a successful reality or face resistance in the ever-changing world of social media. The future of “X” is yet to unfold, and users and industry experts alike are eager to see how this bold move will shape Twitter’s destiny.

Ocean Gate Co-Founder Aims For 1,000-Person Venus Colony By 2050!

Jul 31, 2023

Guillermo Söhnlein, one of the brilliant minds behind OceanGate, has now set his sights on another extraordinary ambition which is a floating colony on Venus, accommodating a thousand individuals, all by the year 2050. While this crazy goal might seem like a far-fetched and scary dream, especially after the infamous submersible incident that took place recently, Söhnlein’s passion for making humanity a multi-planet species has been ingrained in him since he was a mere 11 years old.

Venus As The Next Earth?

But why Venus, you might wonder? Venus is known as Earth’s evil twin, Venus has extreme conditions that appear highly unsuitable for human habitation. The planet’s surface is inhabitable because of its scorching temperatures, suffocating carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere, and sulfuric acid-laden clouds. Even within the space industry, this idea seems almost impossible and is extremely dangerous so being a little skeptical is normal.

However, Söhnlein sees potential in an unexplored realm within the Venusian atmosphere, approximately 30 miles from the surface. Here, temperatures are more moderate, and the atmospheric pressure is less intense. If a space station could withstand the challenges posed by the sulfuric acid clouds, it could be the stepping stone for hundreds, or even thousands, of people to live in this environment eventually but that too requires massive development and testing stages.

The Last Tragedy

Despite the recent tragedy involving OceanGate’s Titan submersible, which took the lives of five individuals, including the CEO of Ocean Gate, Stockton Rush, Söhnlein remains undeterred. Innovation, for him, is about pushing boundaries, and he has a track record of breaking barriers to make the seemingly impossible, possible. OceanGate’s deep-diving submersible, constructed from carbon fiber rather than conventional titanium steel, is a testament to his crazy thinking.

To Söhnlein, the pursuit of his vision is not just a motivational goal, it is an attainable aspiration. He believes it is less ambitious than the prospect of colonizing Mars with a million people by 2050, and he is eager to prove the haters wrong. Söhnlein’s venture studio, Humans2Venus, founded in collaboration with entrepreneur Khalid Al-Ali, is dedicated to overcoming the commercial obstacles that stand in the way of sending humans to Venus. Their journey is a stepping stone to develop techniques that reduce launch costs and enable funding for space missions, independent of governmental support.

Criticism

While skeptics may question the feasibility of such a daring endeavor, Söhnlein draws inspiration from Silicon Valley people like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who have challenged the status quo and moved humanity forward. He firmly believes that calculated risks are necessary for progress and that breakthroughs often emerge from the boldest dreams and failures like the submersible are inevitable.

As the world looks to the future of space exploration, the question arises why Venus? For Söhnlein the answer is simple and it is why not? Embracing the unknown, pushing the boundaries of innovation, seeking new homes beyond our planet, and envisioning a brighter, bolder future for humanity. But how true and successful it will be is still not known.

End-to-End Encryption Ensures Privacy

To prioritize user privacy and security, WhatsApp is extending its end-to-end encryption service to the new instant video messages feature. End-to-end encryption means that only the sender and the intended recipient have access to the content of the messages, making it highly secure against any unauthorized access, including from WhatsApp itself or any third parties. This level of encryption is one of WhatsApp’s core principles, assuring users that their personal conversations remain confidential and protected.

Easy and Convenient Usage

WhatsApp’s new instant video messages feature is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. It will be similar to sending a voice message on the platform, making it accessible to users who are already familiar with this functionality. Additionally, WhatsApp is introducing a hands-free recording option, allowing users to record video messages without holding down the record button. This hands-free feature further enhances convenience and usability, making it effortless for users to share their experiences through video.

Rollout and Availability

The company has already begun rolling out the new update on the WhatsApp app. While the feature is not available to everyone yet, it is expected to be accessible to all users in the coming weeks. WhatsApp users can look forward to embracing this new and exciting way of expressing themselves and connecting with others through instant video messages.

Continued Innovation from Meta

test product update comes on the heels of a strong earnings report from Meta, formerly known as Facebook. The company reported an impressive 11% year-over-year revenue growth, reaching $32 billion in the quarter ending in June. This positive financial performance reflects the success of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “year of efficiency” strategy, which seems to be paying off for the social media giant.

With end-to-end encryption ensuring data privacy, users can share heartfelt moments without any concerns about their content’s security. As Meta continues to invest in enhancing its platforms, WhatsApp users can expect more exciting features and improvements in the future, further enriching their messaging experience. With Meta’s stock surging over 150% in 2023, it’s evident that the company’s commitment to innovation and efficiency is resonating with investors and users alike.

How To Get The ‘No Makeup’ Look For Summer 2016

By

AFP

-

Jul 28, 2023

If there is one key beauty accessory for this spring then it is dewy, glowing skin. The Spring/Summer 2016 ready to wear shows consistently pushed a barefaced, natural makeup look, such as the sweet and angelic vibe at Christian Dior, and the low-key, ‘anti selfie’ vibe seen at Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant.

There are several tricks to recreating that luminous catwalk finish when it comes to applying your makeup at home. At Dior, the models wore a dewy-finish foundation with a dab of blusher placed high on the cheekbone, to create the impression of a natural flush, while at Opening Ceremony, makeup artist James Boehmer prepped the skin and then applied Nars Triple X Lipgloss to the mouth, the bridge of the nose, the high points of the cheekbones and the eyelids for a particularly dewy look.

Celebrity beauty artist Lisa Eldridge points out that in order to achieve the natural look, foundation should be viewed as a product to even out the skin tone and calm down redness rather than provide total coverage for every blemish. She recommends using a tinted moisturizer for a light coverage, before pinpointing trouble areas with a thick, heavy-duty concealer.

A tiny amount of stick foundation, liquid foundation or hot poured concealer applied with an eyeliner brush or a flat synthetic eye brush will do all the hard work where necessary, without covering areas of the skin that don’t need it. Set with a light powder to make sure the concealer stays in place.

Watch her video below:

Charlotte Tilbury, meanwhile, suggests using the “Wonderglow” from her own cosmetics line, which contains a “Fluorescent Core Light Diffuser” that is designed to absorb UV particles from the surroundings for a glowing complexion, before buffing in your foundation for a youthful coverage.

Beauty brands are finding increasingly innovative ways to tap into the trend, with products including MAC’s new “Barbados Girl” rose gold bronzer and “Pink Rebel” soft champagne lustre drops ($21), which can be massaged directly onto the skin for a subtle shimmer, and Dior’s new “Glowing Gardens” collection, which contains an illuminating powder designed to melt into the skin and leave an iridescent finish. The ‘no makeup’ makeup look has never been more accessible.

Walking Down Stairs, Now A Risk For Women And Not Men?

Walking Down Stairs, Now A Risk For Women And Not Men? — Image Source: iStock

Attention to all the women out there! A new study has revealed a very intriguing yet embarrassing fact. You are almost twice as likely to get injured while coming down the stairs compared to guys of the same age. Can you believe it? I mean is this a classic “women” moment? Coming down the stairs is definitely not that difficult so why are women more likely to fall down them? But don’t worry, let’s get this tag off our backs! But first, watch a video of this woman flying off the stairs.

The Study

The study looked at college students in the U.S. and found that young women in their 20s tend to engage in riskier activities while walking downstairs. So what are these daring moves that make them more injury-prone? Well, it turns out, things like wearing high heels and texting away mindlessly on their phones!

Researchers from Purdue University observed over 2,400 young adults going down two different staircases – one with just two steps and the other with 17 steps. They spotted some very stupid yet common habits that might lead to us falling:

Not holding the handrail
Not paying attention to the stairs
Wearing inappropriate footwear like high heels or flip-flops
Talking to someone in person or on the phone
Using electronic gadgets
Keeping hands in pockets
Carrying stuff while going down
Skipping steps for some adventurous moments

Among all the age groups, young women in their 20s had the highest risk of getting hurt on the stairs, beating even the guys of the same age (except for women over 80 – they’re quite the tough cookies too!). But don’t worry, there’s hope! While five participants stumbled a bit, they all managed to regain their balance. So it’s okay to have a little wobble but the main aim is to just stay safe and eventually not fall.

Other Findings

Now, let’s talk about the fun stuff. Researchers noticed that young women tend to have more chitchats and gossip on the stairs. Maybe they enjoy catching up with friends or colleagues while climbing down. And guess what? They were better at paying attention to the steps during the transition than men. So kudos, ladies!

In conclusion, this study suggests that multitasking might lead to distraction for young women while going downstairs, making them more vulnerable to injuries. So, next time you’re heading downstairs, keep an eye on those high heels and put the phone on pause – safety first, fun second!

Jul 27, 2023

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued a groundbreaking circular, offering significant relief with Tax-Free bank withdrawals up to Rs50,000 for individuals in Pakistan. The latest update eases the burden on small-scale transactions and provides financial respite to millions of taxpayers.

Tax-Free Bank Withdrawals: No Tax on Withdrawals up to Rs50,000

Under the revised policy, individuals can now access their funds without any additional financial deductions for withdrawals up to Rs50,000. This move aims to alleviate the tax burden on low-value transactions and promote a more taxpayer-friendly environment. Transactions below the Rs50,000 threshold will remain untaxed, offering further financial relief to individuals and facilitating easy access to funds.

Tax Rates for Specific Withdrawal Ranges

For withdrawals ranging from 50,001 to 50,500 rupees, a nominal tax of 303 rupees will apply. Similarly, withdrawals of Rs55,000 will incur a tax of Rs330, while non-filers withdrawing Rs75,000 will face a tax of Rs450. It is important to note that these new tax rates only apply to the portion of the withdrawal that exceeds the Rs50,000 threshold.

Extending Tax Exemption to Governments and Diplomatic Missions

The FBR circular also extends the tax exemption to federal and provincial governments, as well as foreign embassies and diplomatic missions operating in Pakistan. This move fosters a more cooperative financial landscape and strengthens diplomatic relations.

The revised tax policy by the FBR represents a progressive step towards easing financial burdens on individuals. With the exemption on bank withdrawals up to Rs50,000, taxpayers can now access their funds without any tax implications, promoting a smoother financial landscape in the country. The government’s efforts to facilitate small-scale transactions and foster a taxpayer-friendly environment bode well for a thriving economy.

Alarming Increase In Infertility Rates Hits UAE

Jul 27, 2023

lAs IVF clinics across the UAE report a surge in male and female patients seeking treatment for infertility, the country faces a concerning rise in fertility challenges. UAE infertility rates have reached an estimated 15 percent, surpassing the global rate of 10 percent, making it a major regional health challenge.

Key factors contributing to this trend include Vitamin D deficiency, lifestyle choices, and delayed marriages. With the UAE gradually becoming a hub for fertility tourism, couples are seeking advanced treatments and genetic testing options, driving the IVF industry’s growth.

1. Fertility Challenges in the UAE

The UAE is witnessing a disconcerting increase in infertility cases, with around one in six couples facing difficulties conceiving. Additionally, fertility rates have declined significantly from 2.7 births per woman in 2000 to 1.5 births per woman in 2020. IVF clinics, including the Dubai-based Orchid IVF Clinic, have witnessed a notable rise in couples seeking fertility advice and treatments.

2. Causes of Infertility in the UAE

Various factors contribute to the rise in male and female infertility. These encompass low sperm parameters, diminishing ovarian reserves, polycystic ovaries, and the use of gym hormones to enhance physical appearance. Moreover, lifestyle choices such as smoking and alcohol consumption have detrimental effects on the quality of eggs and sperm, exacerbating the fertility challenges.

3. Delayed Family Planning and its Impact

The prevailing societal norms and career-oriented priorities are leading adults to defer family planning to later stages of life. However, experts advocate educating teenagers about the optimal age for parenthood. It should be noted that the early 20s are considered ideal, as that’s when eggs, sperm, uterus, and the female body are at their prime, ensuring the health of both parents and offspring.

4. The Rise of Fertility Tourism

The UAE’s adoption of advanced fertility treatments has positioned it as a growing “hub for fertility tourism.” Furthermore, the demand for services like IVF with genetic testing for sex selection, which is not available in other countries, is contributing to the rise of IVF tourism. Renowned professionals, high standards, and advanced technologies in UAE centers attract couples seeking comprehensive fertility treatments.

5. The Expanding IVF Industry

The IVF industry has become a global multibillion-dollar venture, projected to grow to over $17 billion in 2023 at a CAGR of 11.4 percent. Also, the treatment costs in the Emirates range from $10,000 to $15,000 per cycle, reflecting the increasing demand for fertility services.

As the UAE confronts a troubling increase in infertility rates, couples are turning to IVF clinics for support. At this time, understanding the underlying causes, promoting early family planning, and raising awareness about lifestyle choices are crucial steps in addressing this significant health challenge.

Nonetheless, the nation’s embrace of advanced fertility treatments and genetic testing positions it as a leading destination for fertility tourism, offering hope to couples seeking comprehensive solutions to overcome infertility.

MG Pakistan To Bring In Two More EVs — Source: Business Recorder

Amidst a backdrop of economic downturn and challenges in the local automotive industry, MG Pakistan is set to offer a glimmer of hope to buyers with its latest venture into alternative energy vehicles. As car sales dwindle, manufacturers announce production shutdowns, and profit margins suffer, the arrival of electric vehicles (EVs) brings a much-needed breath of fresh air to the market.

Embracing Electric: MG’s New Offerings

MG Pakistan, in its commitment to promoting eco-friendly transportation, is preparing to launch two electric vehicles, signaling its determination to take the lead in green technology. The upcoming models include the latest generation of the MG ZS EV and the MG HS HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle), both of which are set to hit the roads soon, possibly by the end of the month.

A Step Towards Sustainability: MG’s “Alternative Energy Vehicles” Plan

The decision to introduce EVs comes as a part of MG’s broader “alternative energy vehicles” plan. The company aims to bring completely built-up (CBU) units of these electric cars into Pakistan, providing customers with high-quality options that align with global environmental standards.

Despite the excitement surrounding the announcement, specific details regarding the features, specifications, pricing, launch date, and booking procedures of these new electric offerings remain under wraps. However, the mere prospect of more eco-friendly options hitting the market is generating enthusiasm among potential buyers.

Expanding the Green Lineup: MG’s Ambitious Goals

MG Pakistan’s push towards green technology doesn’t end with the introduction of electric vehicles. The company has ambitious plans to expand its lineup to include a diverse range of vehicles, from hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and fully electric vehicles (EVs). This strategic move is part of MG’s goal to secure a prominent position in the alternative energy vehicle segment, offering a comprehensive selection of environment-friendly options to the Pakistani market.

Investing in a Sustainable Future

To accomplish this expansion, MG Pakistan is willing to make substantial investments, with reports suggesting a commitment of 50 million Chinese yuan (approximately $7 million) to locally assemble PHEVs. However, this ambitious endeavor also hinges on the support and facilitation of an EV-friendly policy from the Pakistani government.

Government Support is Key

Acknowledging the need for favorable policy support, an MG official stated that the company’s expansion plans for EV production largely depend on government initiatives that encourage and incentivize the adoption of electric vehicles. In return, this progressive approach could pave the way for a greener automotive landscape in the country.

Leveraging Existing Facilities

One advantage that MG Pakistan possesses is the availability of ample space at its existing facility in Lahore’s JW SEZ Autopark, which could comfortably accommodate the proposed expansion. This advantage bodes well for the company’s ability to scale up its production capacity and cater to the growing demand for alternative energy vehicles.

Anticipation Grows

As the news of MG’s foray into electric vehicles spreads, auto enthusiasts and environmental advocates are eagerly anticipating further updates and details about the upcoming models. The potential arrival of the MG ZS EV and MG HS HEV offers a glimmer of hope for a brighter and greener future in Pakistan’s automotive industry.

While the local automotive industry may currently be facing a challenging period with declining sales and profit margins, MG Pakistan’s ambitious entry into the electric vehicle market brings a positive outlook. With the launch of the MG ZS EV and MG HS HEV, the company is taking significant steps toward promoting green technology and offering customers a diverse range of eco-friendly transportation options.

The success of these electric vehicles will also be closely linked to the government’s role in providing an EV-friendly policy framework, which can pave the way for a more sustainable automotive sector in the country. As excitement builds around the impending launch, the industry eagerly awaits a cleaner and greener future.

Jul 27, 2023

Nestlé Pakistan inaugurated the Nestlé for Healthier Kids (N4HK) room in Punjab Workers Welfare Fund (PWWF) Higher Secondary Girls School at Sahukimalian near Sheikhupura to foster and promote nutrition awareness. N4HK is Nestlé’s global nutritional awareness initiative which supports, teachers and caregivers on their journey to raise healthier kids through a curriculum-based education program promoting healthy nutrition, hydration, hygiene, and active lifestyle.

At the occasion, Jason Avanceña, CEO, of Nestlé Pakistan highlighted Nestlé’s association with PWWF. “Our association goes back 5 years, we started N4HK training at PWWF Girls School Multan in early 2016 and since then we have jointly worked together to strengthen this partnership with every passing year with more teacher training and development of N4HK room in Lahore and now here in Sahukimalian.”

Speaking on the occasion, Secretary Labour and Chairman PWWF Faisal Fareed said, “We are honored to continue the partnership with Nestlé Pakistan and extend the reach of its N4HK initiative to schools across Punjab. We are confident that the awareness imparted on nutrition to teachers will play a very important role in promoting healthy habits and a better nourished future generation.”

This inauguration is part of PWWF and Nestlé Pakistan’s earlier collaboration to launch the N4HK program in 14 schools across Lahore, Sheikhupura, Warburton, Multan, Kasur, Faisalabad, Layyah, Muzaffargarh, and Rawalpindi to promote healthy nutrition by training more than 500 teachers reaching out to 15,000 students till 2024.

Under the multiyear partnership with PWWF, Nestlé implemented the program in six schools in Multan, Lahore, Sheikhupura, and Warburton, training more than 200 teachers on nutrition awareness through expert trainers. Nestlé Pakistan also developed 3 N4HK rooms in partner schools, which provided a way for teachers and educators to reinforce the importance of good nutrition concepts for children.
