There is no doubt that celebrities’ life is constantly subjected to scrutiny and public obligations. However, most of the time, they are not alone in the boat. Being in the public eye, it becomes difficult for the celebrities’ families and friends to dodge the camera, hence, public scrutiny. However, this can also take a drastic turn if the stars and their families preach different things from how they are in real life.

 Naimal Khawar 

Naimal Khawar is under fire over her recent posts from her sister in law’s birthday celebration. Fazeela Abbasi, the sister of Hamza Ali Abbasi, celebrated her birthday with friends and family. All of them dressed up in colour coordinated black outfits and headed out for the celebrations.

However, what added fuel to the fire was the dressing choice of Naimal Khawar. Naimal dressed up in black flared pants paired with a black silk top. The outfit triggered the netizens as they called out both the actress and her husband.

While others stated the fact that he does not have any right to preach about Islam to strangers and people on social media, since he can’t seem to understand that all this start from your own home and your family must be obliged to do what you have to say before you call out the general public.

Hamza Ali Abbasi Left The Showbiz Industry 

The news of Hamza Ali Abbasi leaving the showbiz industry hit like a rock to the media industry. The fraternity and fans were left shocked by the news. However, once they got to know the real reason behind it, the decision felt more relevant and was welcomed by the fans.

Regardless, what Naimal chooses to wear, it is her personal choice, and since religion is personal to everyone, judgment and moral policing will not bring anyone any good.

Samsung To Replicate The Brain Onto 3D Chip Networks

There have been many movies that talk about the presence of artificial intelligence. When the terminator first came out in the 80s and became quite a sensation. People loved Arnold for his portrayal of the T-800 and a lot of pop culture movies followed. Films like I, Robot and Chappie talk about the essence of A.I among humans. If we look at the latter one, Chappie, it was shown that consciousness could be transferred. However, in that film, it was stored in a bunch of PS4 consoles. Samsung might be up to something similar.

Recently, we came to found out that the company intends to replicate the human brain onto 3D Chip Networks. This seems quite ahead of anything we might have imagined happening for now. Samsung is certainly making fruitful bounds in their domain and we have yet to see what they come up with. So, let us see what exactly are they up to.

Samsung And Brain Copying

It seems that the leading engineers and scholars from Harvard and Samsung, have gone ahead and published a research paper. This paper talks about the mapping of the human brain onto another surface. The authors hope to create a memory chip that can approximate the unique computing traits of the brain. This means low power, an adaptive environment as well as autonomy and cognition. Even an idea on this could have been considered a fool’s errand some decades ago.

However, now it seems that this could be something big. There is potential in it and we hope to see it go further than ever before. The method itself would include a nanoelectrode array which would enter a large volume of neurons. Then it would record the position at which the neurons connect as well as the strength of those connections. The data recorded could then be copy-pasted to a 3D network of solid-state memory.

Engineering Backwards

Samsung has said that it wants to reverse engineer the brain just like people have wanted to do for decades. They intend to bring that dream to life. However, there is one thing that the company has yet to understand further. The brain has about 100 billion neurons, for which more than 100 trillion memory units would be needed. This is not something that can be achieved overnight, rather working one night after another.

Additionally, Samsung intends to keep working in the Neuromorphic field, putting in more research and development after another. We hope that we get to hear more news on this soon. It starts from an idea on paper and it extends much further with persistence. It even reminds us of the movie ‘Transcendence’ or the tv show ‘Altered Carbon’

TikTok Breaking The Communication Barrier For Deaf

Image Source: Rolling Stone

It becomes challenging to be a part of the society where despite being normal like others, one is ostracized from the society and often face rejection due to the communication barrier. To tackle this challenge, 25-year-old Hassan Ahmad, who is hard of hearing, took to social media to break this barrier by educating people about the use of sign language.

To educate people about sign language, Ahmad has emboldened many people that success doesn’t rely on your physical abilities but your dedication. Ahmad, who has lived 25 years of his life in this society, indicates all the challenges that hard of hearing face.

From the most common words to communicating at the workplace, Ahmad, through his videos, has helped recognize the existence of sign language in Pakistan. He started off with his YouTube channel, where he uploaded videos like other Vloggers, but the only difference was signs instead of words. To help the people not familiar with the signs, he used captions to explain and educate people.

Slowly but effectively, he got his message delivered and made the hard-of-hearing community feel included and well connected. Starting his YouTube channel in 2017, Ahmad now has 3380 subscribers, whereas he could get 19000 followers on Instagram. The quickest and most effective platform for Ahmad turned out to be TikTok.

Ahmad, who joined TikTok in April 2021, gained 125000 followers and around 1 million likes on his videos in just two months before TikTok was banned July 20, 2021, in Pakistan by Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA), reasoning the “continuous presence of inappropriate content on the platform and its failure to take such content down.”

Ahmad reached the mass audience on TikTok and was gaining followers multiple times faster than on the other social media platforms. TikTok is often wrongly criticized for only featuring dance and lip-sync videos in Pakistan. It has allowed Hassan to gather a mass audience and support the deaf communities of Pakistan.

After getting famous, Ahmad got his first show on a local TV channel and became the first Deaf TV host. Later, he also became the brand ambassador for Deaftawk, working for the Deaf to break the communication barrier.

The short-form video app TikTok, in recognition of Deaf Awareness Month, is spotlighting the creators who uplift this community on TikTok. Under TikTok’s initiative to make the app more accessible, it introduced the auto-captions feature that automatically generates subtitles, allowing viewers to read or listen to content.

The platform also encourages the user to use auto-captions as when content is more accessible, it helps reach a larger audience because more people can enjoy the content.

Ahmad is a prime example on this platform, who makes short videos to educate people about the different challenges deaf people face. He highlighted the challenges faced by deaf people at the workplace with a solution on how the people at work can help the deaf people using sign language.

He also educates the viewers about the most common words used in communication to help deaf people understand. From a few Islamic Azkar in sign language to occasion wishes, days, animals, birds, time, and songs in sign language, Ahmad also highlights how the people hard of hearing want to be called or engaged.

When social media is the primary source of reaching the mass audience, Ahmad TikTok seems to be the most effective tool to get the urban population and the rural population too due to the extensive popularity of the platform.

TikTok has faced several bans and restrictions in Pakistan without even knowing about its importance. The content making and creativity of TikTok users are astonishing, keeping in mind that this creativity was one of the ways for middle-class people to mitigate poverty and improving life outcomes.

Are you a chocolate fan? More importantly, are you a KitKat fan? Because if you are, the most recent campaign by Wunderman Thompson is surely for you. They have focused the campaign for TikTok and given that the platform only recently celebrated 1 billion users globally, it makes sense.

Called ‘Have a Bite’, the campaign was based on the idea that there are different types of KitKat eaters in the world. Some people nibble at the chocolate bar while others break off the sections on it. But there are some who just bite onto the bar.

But what is the right way?

TikTok and KitKat

This debate had been an ongoing issue with each category assuming they were on the right. Nestle decided to officially acknowledge the debate. The company had KitKat Australia and New Zealand run polls on various social media platforms. Within 48 hours of it, the official hashtag #rulebreak had 4.3 million views across TikTok and Instagram.

Extremely famous TikTok stars such as @milligram96, @rybkatwinsofficial, and @tomford19 were seen using the hashtag #rulebreak.

@tomford19

João Braga, the chief creative officer at Wunderman Thompson, said, “As Australia’s favourite chocolate bar, we know that people have some serious love for the iconic treat, but we wanted to discover new ways to engage with the fanbase online. What better way to do this than by jumping into the heartfelt and passionate debate over the true, right and ‘correct’ way to eat a KitKat.”

The debate overtook other platforms too

TikTok stars were the major highlight of the campaign but other celebrities were also a part of it. Famous Australian actor Michael Caton dressed as a wizard, was seen biting on the chocolate bar as a whole and then asked the audience, “Is this wrong?”

The ensuing debate had morning shows cashing on the hype as well with the hosts showing their own way of ‘having a bite’.

Joyce Tan, Nestlé head of marketing, said: “We knew it was time to finally weigh in on the conversation regarding how to properly eat a KitKat and acknowledge the weird and wonderful ways Aussies eat theirs.”

Why though?

It turns out that the campaign is to help introduce a limited-edition candy bar. The product does not require you to snap like you have to for a KitKat bar.

The associate creative directors Simon Koay said:

“Rather than trying to engineer a discussion from scratch, use social to shoehorn a brand message or kickstart the next branded dance craze, we just fed into the existing debate.”

Another associate creative director, Steven Hey said:

“With such strong equity built into the product, it gives people a kick to mess with it and make it their own.”

Armeena Khan has been known as the voice of reason in the industry. The actress has spoken about a variety of issues all of which matter a lot to the citizens of Pakistan. Thus, the actress is an intellectual in the industry and we aren’t surprised that she has asked her fans a question that is food for thought. Let’s find out about the discussion she prompted.

Armeena Khan’s Question

Armeena Khan took to Twitter to ask her fans a question that honestly can never have a single answer. The actress asked her fans: “Do arrange marriages work?” However, anticipating the roasting session she could be subjected to, she also added a disclaimer. Armeena Khan added, “no shade, just a question!”

Provided that arranged marriages are central to our culture yet are losing their value, it is interesting that the actress poses this question. 

Here’s Her Tweet:

Netizens’ Knowledge Vault

Netizens are masters of all trades and this question gave us access to their vault of knowledge. Since Armeena Khan has such a large following, we aren’t surprised to see hundreds of responses.

The different responses come from people’s own perceptions, experiences, and beliefs.

The Religious Perspective

Many suggested that arranged marriage is Sunnah. Moreover, others suggested that relationships before marriage are haram thus arranged marriage are the only good option!

What Doesn’t Work

There was also a response that said ‘how’ two people meet is not important. They could meet via arranged marriage or love, it can work and also not work. What breaks a marriage is a toxic personality, bad traits and negative habits.

Lost Hope

There was also another response that bordered between comic and tragic! Someone shared that in Pakistan, neither can work because of how in-laws have continued their hostility to love marriages while husbands commit infidelity in arranged. Everyone is passing time!

How Can Both Types of Marriages Work?

The wise ones also gave their suggestions on what does make a marriage work. They shared some values, habits and requirements that can make both, arranged and love marriages, work healthily. Do you think these suggestions have some weight to them?

Emirates Unveils Its First-Ever Full Aircraft Livery To Promote Expo 2020 Dubai

Expo 2020 Dubai has Emirates as its premier partner for the event. For the event’s promotion, you can get a free one-day pass should you choose to travel with Emirates to Dubai. In another major promotion technique, they have revealed the first-ever full aircraft livery for Expo 2020 Dubai.

Read More: Expo 2020 Dubai Ticket Prices Finally Announced

In this attempt, Emirates has employed their aircraft A380. As the aircraft goes around the world, it will be able to promote the event on a global scale according to the event’s standards.

First-Ever Aircraft Livery

Now, having a livery on the aircraft is not a new phenomenon for Emirates. In the past few years, they have been known to have 50 different liveries on 100 aircraft. However, almost every time, the livery was a decal, a transferrable sticker.

expo 2020 dubai
Image Source: Expo 2020 Dubai

This time, they have gone two steps ahead; they have converted the entire aircraft exterior to promote Expo 2020 Dubai and they have done so not through decals but actual paint. The special aircraft is different for various reasons. It used paint for livery and not a sticker. It diverges from its usual simple colors like white and golden. And it strayed away greatly from its usual color spectrum. Using bright colours all over with a dominant blue, the aircraft stands distinctly from the rest of the aircraft collection.

Features of the livery

On both sides of the aircraft fuselage, you will find the message, ‘Dubai Expo’ and ‘Be Part of the Magic’. Moreover, on the engine cowls, you will find ‘Expo’ and Dubai’ on the one side of the aircraft, and the dates – Oct 2021 and Mar 2022 – on the engine cowls of another side. While the Emirates logo is not as visible on this aircraft, you will find its signature to be visible indeed. Near, the head of the aircraft, you can see the traces of the airline’s most recent campaign as a decal.

The campaign had a brave stuntwoman dressed as an Emirates’ air hostess. She was standing at the top of Burj Khalifa holding a placard. Using that imagery, the airline painted the picture on the aircraft, and the board read, “See you there” and “Dubai Expo Oct 2021- Mar 2022”.

The aircraft will stay like this until the end of the event.

Emirates does it all in-house

An interesting fact revealed was that the livery was entirely designed, painted, and installed by the airline’s in-house team. In fact, the stencils needed for the job were also printed and cut by the team.

The project was completed in 16 days and will go around promoting the event from today, September 29th as the flight takes off for Los Angeles.

Super Startup Championship encourages the students to prepare their prototypes (Animated/Cardboard) for the proposed business/startup ideas in addition to professional showcasing of their respective idea. In the first phase, there were more than 200+ startup teams and after the Initial Screening round, 36 startups were shortlisted. These 36 shortlisted startups were intently evaluated and 7 startups won the championship. 

ETTP organized a prize distribution ceremony for the outstanding winning projects. The championship once again bridged the gap between academia and industry where students exhibited their startups and venerated business gurus evaluated, shortlisted and judged. Both the students and coaches were rewarded. There were up to 80 venerated coaches in the competition and Mr. Hamayoun Khan won the accolade of The Best Coach. There were 14 Departments and 10 Faculties i.e Management Sciences, Aviation management, Mass Communication, Architecture, Electrical Engineering, Aviation Technology, Avionics Engineering, CS&IT, Allied Health Sciences, Pharmacy participated in it.

7 Ways To Get Rid Of Under-Eye Puffiness

7 Ways To Get Rid Of Under-Eye Puffiness
Image source: https://www.everydayhealth.com/

With changing lifestyles, our bodies are meant to change too. No matter how much you stick to a healthy diet and ample amount of sleep. The same goes for our face and under-eye area since change is inevitable as we age. Aging and aggressive lifestyle can take a toll on our health, resulting in dark or bluish discoloration, depressed appearance, puffiness, eye bags, and more. And while eyes are one of the most delicate structures of the human body, taking care of them is necessary.

“The eyes are areas of highly specialized skin that is vulnerable to several different systems and susceptible to various changes that affect their appearance,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman. “Genetics, fluid retention, allergies, sun exposure, lack of sleep, and poor diet can all harm the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids.”

While it’s hard to avoid the occasional bout of insomnia, indulgence in salty snacks, or bawl-your-eyes-out movies — all of which can leave your eyes looking swollen and tired. Here are a few tips which can help you get brighter and firmer eyes.

1. Tea Bags 

Tea is known for an ingredient which is known as Tannin. These can reduce the inflammation under the eye while withdrawing the fluid. However, Chamomile is your best bet while choosing the tea, thanks to the herb’s soothing properties. Green tea is also a great option, as caffeine can help minimize the look of puffy eyes.

Steep two teabags of your choice in boiling water, then squeeze out the extra moisture and stick them in the fridge for 20 minutes or so. When they’re ready, put them on your closed eyes for 15 minutes to a half-hour.

2. Cold-Spoon 

Using cold spoons on under-eye areas can do wonders if you are in a rush or need to attend an event. Run a couple of metal spoons under the cold tap for a couple of minutes or out in the freezer for a few minutes. Then place the concave side to the eye. You should see the puffiness going down immediately. However, make sure the spoons are not frozen cold, leading to microcapillary tears in the area.

3. Hydrogel Patches

Eye patches are another great option if you don’t want to hold spoons to your eyes. The patches are filled with rich ingredients, which can help make the under-eye area brighter while reducing discoloration and puffiness.

4. Hydration 

Hydration is the key when it comes to combating a lot of body issues. Since water makes the most of our body weight, it may not be surprising that dehydration can contribute to under-eye bags. Upping your water intake will help reduce the puffiness under your eyes.

5. Massage To Drain 

Massaging your face can help with lymphatic drainage, which in turn can combat the puffy look. The under-eye area is one area on the body where our natural drainage system (lymphatic system) for excess fluid is not the best. There are different ways to accomplish it, including ice rollers, jade rollers, and finger massage.

6. Use An Under Eye Cream 

Don’t let fancy skincare products distract you when we say you do not need an eye cream. Yes, you do not need a fancy eye cream for your eyes. A regular moisturizer can bring about the same result most of the time. However, if you are tempted to buy one, make sure to invest in retinol or kojic acid-based products.

7. Sleep 

Regulating your sleep can be your best option if you suffer from chronic eye bags and puffiness. In addition to that, your sleeping posture can also work wonders. Make sure not to sleep on your face as it can lead to more fluid retention under the eyes.

If you don’t know what Squid Game is, you might be 0.5% of the population at the moment. Netflix has a crazy hit on its hands with Squid Game which is its most popular Korean drama to date. It has also easily become its most most-watched foreign-language productions period. The show is a mash-up of Hunger Games and Kill Bill so what is the craze about? We bring it all to you.

The official synopsis reads: “Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children’s games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits with deadly high stakes.”

Squid Game

Squid Game is coming as the topmost show on Netflix in many countries, including the US. It has also maintained this position since the day it came out. The show is based on a deadly game called – you guessed it – the Squid Game. In this game, people risk their lives to win prize money. The show begins with 456 people who are financially struggling and have joined the league to win a US$ 45.6 billion prize.

The show focuses on a man who is a divorcee and lives with his mom. When he gets recruited to play the game, he finds his neighbourhood friend as a participant in the game. Though trusting him, he finds that the friend may not be as sincere as he seems. He becomes an enemy midway but then sacrifices himself in the game and dies. Traumatized after what happened to his friend and the other 455 (or rather, 454) people, the protagonist accepts the prize money but refused to celebrate it. At the end of the season, he does choose to use the money, and the conviction he does it with fuels the chances of a season 2. 

The idea of Squid Game basically was that there will be six games that you have to win, the losers, die.

Its popularity is contagious because it is causing a surge of views in similar shows that Netflix offers. As a result, many similar shows have come on the “trending” page despite being much older.
