“Sarfaraz Ahmed Loses His Smile” After Being Left Out of T20 WORLDCUP 2022 Squad

Sarfaraz Ahmed

“You see the looks? Very serious! That’s not the Sarfaraz we know. Say something, speak up, it’s alright.”

These words echoed in the commentary box, at Multan stadium during Sindh vs Central Punjab match at National T20 Cup 2022. During the 16th over, Sarfaraz Ahmed took a good catch off Abrar Ahmed (who got called up for the England series), and unlike the Sarfaraz we know, he just throws the ball to the other fielder silently, without any emotion or reaction.

This is not the Sarfaraz the world knows. This was a painful sight for any Sarfaraz fan, as he is mostly smiling and is known for being very chirpy, and energetic on the field. Even commentators, couldn’t bear to see that, as they continued,
“I have never seen Sarfaraz Ahmed so quiet, and I get it, he was really close to the close up.” The other commentator added, “I don’t like this Sarfaraz, trust me I like him speaking, chirping.”

This reminded me of Shawn Michaels’ infamous promo, from the February 13 1997 edition of WWE (WWF back then) weekly RAW. In that promo, Shawn Michaels famously said that he had “lost [his] smile” after having to vacate his WWF championship due to a career-threatening knee injury.

Sarfaraz has also lost his smile, after coming up short of a national call-up for the home series against England, and T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Pakistan’s regular wicketkeeper, Mohammad Rizwan, is dealing with injuries and nobody else deserves to be his backup than the former captain.

Sarfaraz Ahmed fought hard throughout National T20 Cup to earn his ticket to Australia, as the commentator said “We all like that Sarfaraz, such a character. A true fighter, street fighter.”

He was a deserving candidate to be called up for the series against England and get a ticket for T20 World Cup 2022, as a reserve wicket-keeper or even as a specialist middle-order batter. However, captain Babar Azam and Chief Selector Mohammad Wasim overlooked him in favour of young wicket-keeper Mohammad Haris.  

With his current form and strike rate, he could have easily made it, even as a specialist batter, considering Pakistan’s shaky middle order, however, the management has opted for the same combination which failed in Asia Cup 2022. Shan Masood replaced Fakhar Zaman, who is injured and has failed miserably during Asia Cup. However, Fakhar has been kept as a reserve player for T20 World Cup with Mohammad Haris and Shahnawaz Dahani.

There was a lot of chatter going on in the media regarding the changes in the Pakistan squad for the T20 World Cup after Pakistan’s crushing defeat in the Asia Cup 2022 final at the hands of Sri Lanka. Pakistan’s middle order was criticized for being too shaky and unreliable, while top-order batters were criticized for their strike rates.

Many former players bashed current management over team selection, while journalists started running campaigns for the recall of their favorite players. But unlike all of them, Sarfaraz kept his head straight and kept performing in National T20 amid all the chaos regarding team selections. He did not give any negative comments, and always remained positive, but this decision to drop him shook him. He did not look motivated at all, either while keeping or batting.

This is not at all the way to treat a former captain who made the team No. 1 in the T20 rankings. Under his captaincy, Pakistan won 11 consecutive T20 series. He brought glory with the Champions Trophy by defeating India for the first time in an ICC event, that too in the final. If Asif, Iftikhar, and Khushdil can get chances after failing again and again, why not Sarfaraz be given the chance, after performing well in PSL as well as other domestic tournaments.

According To Research, Women Do A Better Job Of Operating Driverless Cars

It’s a time memorial question: do men or women make better drivers? In our context at least, women are always looked down upon as bad drivers. But hey, we’re talking about driverless cars now and that has changed the debate! A recent study might have the solution and this is what you need to know:

Read more: Are Early Risers Happier & Mentally Stronger?

The New Study

According to Newcastle University researchers, women in driverless automobiles responded more quickly. Moreover, they also had a more steady takeover control than men. Total 33 women and 43 men, totaling 76 drivers, took a test drive in level 3 automatic vehicles (L3 AVs). The driver can entirely switch off from operating the vehicle and engage in other activities with these vehicles. The researchers were also tested in various weather conditions. Researchers asked drivers to take over from L3 AVs in various weather situations. The timing and effectiveness of the takeover were then evaluated.

The Findings

Compared to men, women displayed a lower proportion of hasty takeovers and marginally quicker reaction times. Additionally, women operated the steering wheel more steadily as opposed to their male counterparts.

Our study also highlights how crucial it is to address inequality in future mobility considerations. According to a university release from Dr. Shuo Li, lead author of the study.

At Newcastle’s School of Engineering, “manufacturers and designers need to adopt inclusive practices. They must fully consider the needs, requirements, performance, and preferences of end-users from different demographic groups. Only then can create user-friendly automated vehicles be created.”

The Follow-Up

In the following phase, a follow-up study will be done to account for gender variations. They will be accomodated in the needs and requirements that are connected with non-driving related duties in Level 3 automated cars. The impact of completing these tasks on end-user behavior and performance also needs to be considered.

For creating and promoting user-friendly, human-machine interactions in driverless automobiles, researchers say their findings have significant significance. The significance extends to legislators, vehicle manufacturers, and academia. The authors of the study also note that gender disparities in user preferences for other non-driving jobs should be considered when designing these driverless vehicles’ interiors.

Tips To Quickly Fix A Stuck Car Window

Image Source: Car Bible

Modern car windows are ultra-convenient, so there’s no need to crank a hand roller anymore. At the press of a button, you can make your window roll up or down, allowing you to stay warm in your car or let in a cool breeze.

While having your car windows get stuck can be a nightmare, regardless of whether they get stuck up or down. Whether you have power windows or manual windows, you can figure out why your windows won’t roll up if you follow some easy tips.

1. Check Safety Locks 

Image Source: Quora

For starters, double-check that the child safety locks aren’t engaged in your vehicle. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that these are the problem if you’ve had a busy day or perhaps engaged the button by accident. Once you verify that this lock is not on, you can check it off your list of potential culprits.

2. Check For A Blockage 

In winter, when your car window isn’t moving due to a blockage, the reason is that it’s clogged with snow or ice. Try removing these impediments manually. You’ll want to be careful not to damage the glass, so you may want to consider using a lighter or similar tool to melt the ice or snow if it’s heavily accumulated. This is also best practice when the ice or snow blocks the window slot or is otherwise too difficult.

3. Restart Your Car 

If none of the above-referenced quick fixes seem to be the issue, consider simply turning your car on and off again. Sometimes, this resets the internal computers and electronics in your vehicle and will resolve any minor problems that are preventing your car windows from rolling up properly.

4. Slam Door Method 

Image Source: Vehicle Freak

If you have ever slammed your TV in an attempt to make it work slamming your car door might also do the trick. It is as simple as it may seem, sometimes just slamming your door can solve the issue.

Glass windows are set on tracks within your door panel. If your window is somehow dislodged from the track (or if it is tilted to the side), it may not engage with the motor, even if it’s working correctly.

Slamming your car door can help to resolve this problem by realigning your glass window with the tracks.

5. Strike The Door 

Similar to the door slam method, the striking method can help realign your window with the tracks and motor. Using your palm (to avoid injury or damage), take your hand and strike the center of your car door on the outside. Never use tools in place of your hand, as this can cause damage to the paint and body of your vehicle.

When utilizing the striking method, only do it a few times and see if it produces results. Do not continue striking the door if it doesn’t get your window back on track. Also, be careful not to strike your door too hard, as it’s much easier to damage the door’s paint or shatter the glass inside than you might think.

6. Watchout For Other Faults 

Image Source: Mechanic Base

You should also make sure that the electronics in your car are working before determining if it’s an issue that’s specific to your window. If your car’s interior lights and other electronic parts aren’t functioning correctly, the problem may not be with your window but rather with your car’s battery or circuits. For example, a short circuit could prevent an electrical signal from adequately reaching your car window

Emirates and United Expand Market Presence Through New Agreement

Emirates and Unite

Emirates and United announced a historic commercial agreement today that will enhance each airline’s network and give their customers easier access to hundreds of new destinations* within the United States and around the world.

From November, Emirates customers flying into Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston – three of the biggest business hubs in the U.S – will be able to easily connect onto United flights to and from nearly 200 cities across the Americas on a single ticket.

At the eight other U.S. airports served by Emirates – Boston, Dallas, LA, Miami, JFK, Orlando, Seattle and Washington DC – both airlines will have an interline arrangement in place.

United will launch a new direct flight between Newark and Dubai starting in March 2023 – from there, customers will be able to travel on Emirates or its sister airline flydubai to more than 100 cities. Tickets for United’s new Dubai flight are now on sale.

Emirates and United announced their agreement today at a ceremonial event at Dulles International Airport, hosted by United CEO Scott Kirby and Emirates President Sir Tim Clark, featuring United and Emirates Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and flight crews from each carrier.

Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said: “Two of the biggest, and best-known airlines in the world are joining hands to fly people better to more places, at a time when travel demand is rebounding with a vengeance. It’s a significant partnership that will unlock tremendous consumer benefit and bring the United Arab Emirates and the United States even closer. We welcome United’s return to Dubai next year, where our hub Dubai essentially becomes a gateway for United to reach Asia, Africa and the Middle East via the combined network of Emirates and flydubai. We look forward to developing our partnership with United for the long term.”

Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines said: “This agreement unites two iconic, flag carrier airlines who share a common commitment to creating the best customer experience in the skies. United’s new flight to Dubai and our complementary networks will make global travel easier for millions of our customers, helping boost local economies and strengthen cultural ties. This is a proud moment for both United and Emirates employees, and I look forward to our journey together.”

Customers of both airlines can soon book these connecting flights on a single ticket – making check-in and luggage transfer faster and easier. For example – travellers will be able to visit United.com or use the United app to book a flight from New York/Newark to Karachi, Pakistan or go to Emirates.com to book a flight from Dubai to Atlanta or Honolulu.

This agreement will also give the loyalty program members of both airlines more opportunities for more rewards: Emirates Skywards members can soon earn miles when they travel on United operated flights, and United Mileage Plus members flying on United’s New York/Newark to Dubai flight will be able to earn and redeem miles when connecting beyond on Emirates and flydubai.

Eligible customers travelling on codeshare flights will also soon enjoy access to Emirates and United lounges. More details on frequent flyer awards and lounge sharing benefits will be communicated in the coming weeks.

Both airlines have recently announced significant investments in the customer experience. Emirates will retrofit more than 120 aircraft as part of a $2 billion effort that includes elevated meal choices, a brand-new vegan menu, a ‘cinema in the sky’ experience, cabin interior upgrades, and sustainable choices. At United, the airline will add 500 new Boeing and Airbus aircraft to its fleet with a focus on a new signature interior that includes seat-back screens in every seat, larger overhead bins, Bluetooth connectivity throughout, and the industry’s fastest available in-flight WiFi.

Study Shows Kids Likely To Get Asthma If Parents Were Exposed To Tobacco Smoke

Children are more likely to develop asthma if their father was exposed to second-hand smoke when he was a child, according to a study published in the European Respiratory Journal.

Led by University of Melbourne researchers, Mr Jiacheng Liu and Dr Dinh Bui, the study also shows that children’s risk of asthma is even higher if their father was exposed to second-hand smoke and went on to become a smoker.

Researchers Find Asthma Linked To Tobacco Smoking

The researchers say their findings highlight how smoking can damage health not only for smokers and their children, but also their grandchildren

“We found that the risk of non-allergic asthma in children increases by 59% if their fathers were exposed to secondhand smoke in childhood, compared to children whose fathers were not exposed. The risk was even higher, at 72%, if the fathers were exposed to secondhand smoke and went on to smoke themselves,” said researcher Jiacheng Liu.

In the study, researchers used data from the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (TAHS), one of the world’s largest and longest ongoing respiratory studies.

For this study, researchers included nearly 1,700 children who grew up in Tasmania, their fathers and their paternal grandparents.

Read More: Does Social Stress Accelerate Aging Of Immune System?

The team compared data on whether the children had developed asthma by age 7 with data on whether the fathers grew up with parents who smoked when they were younger than 15. Researchers also included data on whether the fathers became smokers.

“We can’t be certain of how this damage is passed on through generations, but we think it may be to do with epigenetic changes,” added researcher Shyamali Dharmage.

“This is where factors in our environment, such as tobacco smoke, interact with our genes to modify their expression. These changes can be inherited, but may be partially reversible for each generation.”

Image Source: Time.com

“It’s possible that tobacco smoke is creating epigenetic changes in the cells that will go on to produce sperm when boys grow up,” Dharmage said in a journal news release. “These changes can then be passed on to their children.”

The researchers will now investigate if the increased risk of asthma persists into adult life and whether fathers who were exposed to second-hand smoke as children pass on any increase in allergies or other lung diseases to their children.

realme Donates Tents and Essential Supplies to Flood Victims in Pakistan

Pakistan has recently been faced with a natural disaster of catastrophic proportions in the form of floods across the country. Although flooding during the monsoon season is not uncommon in the country, unusually heavy rain showers have exacerbated the situation leading to the worst flooding seen in Pakistan in recent times. This has put Pakistan in a state of humanitarian crisis. The flooding in the region has resulted in mass destruction with more than 30 million people affected by the rising water levels across the country and entire villages submerged under water. The damage has been widespread, leading to loss of lives, property, and livelihoods for those affected.

realme believes that it is more important to stand together in the bad times than in the good. The tech democratizer has received a great deal of love from the Pakistani market since entering the country in 2018, rising in popularity at a meteoric rate. For this reason, realme wants to show the Pakistani public that it cares deeply for them and appreciates the support they have provided to the smartphone brand over the years. The spirit of giving back in turbulent times is ingrained in realme’s ethos which is why it has gathered resources to create aid packages, partnering with Hadiqa Kiani’s Vaseela-e-Raah campaign to disseminate these supplies to the disenfranchised around the country.

The contents of realme’s aid packages are intended to provide the flood victims with the basic necessities of life that the flood has robbed them of. These supplies include a tent to set up shelter, blankets and bedding to sleep on, water filters to ensure availability of pure drinking water, and sanitary napkins for women’s hygiene needs. realme also included a fundraising element into its last two events, the screening of the Asia Cup Finals and the realme 828 Music Party, in order to improve the quality of aid that the smartphone brand was able to offer to those in need.

realme is ready to do the needful and will work diligently to contribute towards relief and rescue efforts across the country as much as possible. It cannot be emphasized enough how important it is that everyone plays their part, in whatever capacity they can, to uplift those that are victims of circumstances outside their control such as natural disasters. It is only with the contribution of others that the country can move swiftly towards the path of recovery for the victims as well as the nation. realme urges you to do your part because you might make an immense change in someone’s life.

Early Risers

People who get up early and stay active all day long seem to be happier, according to new research. These early risers are also more mentally alert, especially as they get older. This also extends to seniors who get up early and keep busy all day long. This activity keeps them happier and also yielded high scores on cognitive tests. All this comes from the researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.

New Research

According to Pitt’s assistant professor of psychiatry and epidemiology Stephen Smagula, Ph.D., the lead study author early risers are getting it right. He said, “getting up early, keeping active all day, and following the same routine each day seems to be protecting older folks.” This is interesting because it shows altering their daily routines can be helpful for them.

The Method

The authors of the study gathered 1,800 seniors (65 and over) to conduct a study on the everyday activity patterns of older Americans. This was done in order to discover correlations between these patterns and mental health and cognition. It gives holistic perspectives on their data. For a full week, each participant wore an accelerometer around their wrists, which tracks movement and is akin to a Fitbit or smartwatch. In addition, the respondents also gave a set of tests measuring cognitive ability and depressive symptoms.

All of them said that 37.6% of participants who got up early were active all day. What was also special was that they generally followed the same schedule every day. “Many older persons have consistent routines. They often rise before 7 a.m. and keep moving, staying active for around 15 hours every day. They also frequently follow the same pattern, according to Prof. Smagula.” This just shows early rising is the best answer to all your day problems.

Why does KitKat Taste Better In The UK?

This delicious wafer-covered chocolate bar is almost always believed to be an American snack here in the US. Well, guess what, it’s an old English snack. KitKat was initially developed by the English Brand Rowntree back in 1935.  It instantly became a hit and stayed under Rowntree’s brand name until the company was purchased by Nestle in 1988.  Before being sold to Nestle, Rowntree licensed Kit Kat to Hershey.

Now, American Kit-Kats are made by the Hershey Company, while British Kit-Kats are manufactured by Nestlé.

The Composition Of Kitkat 

The American-made chocolate bar contains more sugar. While the British-made chocolate bar is higher in fat and cocoa, resulting in a richer, smoother flavour.

According to a taste test done to identify the likeness of British KitKats subjects could determine there was a clear difference and the testers who preferred the American Kit Kat stated they like it because it was familiar to them. Meanwhile, some of the participants commented that the British Kit Kat was less enhanced chocolate and the American Kit Kat was crunchier.

Image source: dailymail.com

The huge difference in taste is mainly substantial due to UK laws. According to a Business Insider report, U.K. legislation states that to be considered milk chocolate, a product must be at least 25% cocoa solids. However, in the U.S., a product must merely be 10% chocolate liquor.

What Do You Prefer?

It’s hard to get your hands on the British version in the UK – according to a deal made by Hershey which was made to ban imports of British Kit-Kats. A fan started a petition to protest the Hershey Company’s legal action in 2015 and as of 2018, it received three nearly 40,000 signatures.

The internet also agrees with the superior taste of British KitKats. While there is no way one would simply reject a chocolate bar – a British KitKat would definitely take a superior spot.

5 Tips To Efficiently Use Your Car AC In This Heat

It is difficult to imagine traveling in a car without an efficient car air conditioner during the summer. At this time of the year, the air conditioner is not only necessary to keep you cool but also to prevent heat-related ailments. The popularity of car air conditioners has also increased the general awareness about them. However, there are still a few things that you may not know about air conditioners.

To help you out, we have listed 5 tips that can help you boost your car AC’s efficiency.

1. Roll Down The Windows

There is a way to quickly cool down your car without cranking the air conditioning system all the way up. Once you get inside your car, roll all four windows down, then start driving. You wouldn’t have to go faster than 10 or 15 miles per hour just to let fresh air circulate inside your car. Just drive for a bit that way to force the hot, stagnant air out.

2. Park Away From Sunlight 

Parking the car cool can help the AC to perform efficiently. Keeping your car away from direct sunlight or keeping it under the shade helps to avoid overheating and it also makes it easier for AC to cool better. If the AC is already super hot before you turn it on, it may take longer to cool the car.

3. Recirculation Mode 

After turning on the car AC for a while, you should enable the recirculation mode once you start getting cool air. The recirculation mode makes sure that the AC does not pull the air outside and uses the air available in the car cabin. This mode helps the AC to cool the car quickly without much effort.

4. Clean AC Filters 

Dirty AC filters can obstruct air intake. Due to this, the appliance takes longer to cool the car resulting in hefty fuel bills. It is advised that you should keep your car AC filters clean. Experts suggest that you should clean the filters from time to time. If the filters are too clogged, you should go for a replacement.

5. Set The Temperature 

People believe that the car AC will provide better cooling when the temperature setting is set to low. However, that is not the case. 24 degrees is considered the ideal temperature for the human body and any AC will take less load to achieve that target compared to the lowest temperature setting.

One batch of yogurt can be used for a variety of recipes and uses, including plain yogurt, yogurt salad, and hair cures. It is less expensive and has a lot more to offer in terms of health advantages and flavour.

What Does The Store Bought One Have?

The thickeners in the store-bought one are gelatin (glue made from animal bones), pectin (a bio-polymer acid, a lab-made substance), powdered milk, etc, and more. Moreover, artificial sweeteners are heavily processed and treated. The store-bought one also makes the probiotics and nutrients get digested out. This prevents your body from receiving the possible health advantages.

Auto sales drop in August as well: What’s next?

Pakistan automobile industry

The auto sales dropped 54 percent in August this year – from 20,931 units sold in August 2021 to just 9,600 units sold this year in August.

Pakistan’s auto sector is embracing a crisis at the moment. Production has dropped due to choked supply of imported parts amid imports curtailment by the government.

The sales are also seeing month-on-month drop of 17 percent from 11,591 units sold in July. The sales also dropped in July by 52 percent year-on-year and 56 percent month on month.

Experts say auto sales will remain under stress throughout fiscal year 2023. According to JS Research, the auto sales in fiscal year 2023 will remain 25 percent lower than what it was in 2022.

Another auto sector expert Arsalan Hanif thinks the sales may drop between 30 percent and 40 percent during fiscal year 2023.

“Amid escalating car prices and expensive auto financing, demand for cars struggles to remain afloat,” writes auto sector analyst, Wasil Zaman, in his report. “Administrative controls on imports have also impacted the supply side that has led to plant closures.”

Honda has said that it was expecting 3-4 non-production days for their plant in September. Toyota has so far announced two 15-day plant closures – first half of August and second in the ongoing of September. Suzuki has announced the shutdown of their plant since mid of August which still continues.

Zaman says the market was expecting a bigger dent on September’s auto sales due to these closures. “We anticipate a drop of more than 25 percent for the full fiscal year 2023,” he added.

Impact of floods is likely to take a heavy toll on Toyota sales as a major chunk of the company’s sales come from rural areas.

However, Zaman says all these may not erode profitability of the sector much because of recent aggressive price hikes.

Floods to take a heavy toll on auto sector

Arsalan Hanif says the auto sector performance is directly linked to the economic performance of the country. If a country’s economy performs, it means people, on an aggregate basis, have earned more than previous year therefore they are expected to spend more.

“The impact of floods will also haunt Pakistan’s economy too and it may restrict economic growth. Since the economy is expected to struggle, so would the auto sector,” he added.

Experts have also pointed out that floods in many parts of the country especially in rural areas have wreaked havoc on crops too. Pakistan has been forced to spend its limited foreign exchange reserves on import of essential food items to control skyrocketing prices.

This will force the government to keep imports of other items such as car parts called CKDs restricted which the industry was expecting to alleviate post September.

Arsalan added that the high policy rate has also made auto financing unviable for many therefore sales through auto financing is also expected to remain low.

The multifaceted issues with the auto industry as well as the struggling Pakistan economy is expected to remain for at least one year.

Therefore, the auto industry may perhaps be embracing its worst year since 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic emerged and the auto sector remained one of the worst hit sectors across the globe.
