We humans often come across events in our lives that influence us in some way. These influences can be positive or negative, both. When you see someone helping out another person, your heart may fill with warmth. This, in turn, may just be a motivation for you to replicate the act. There is nothing wrong with trying to replicate a good deed or having good intentions behind it.

However, motive counts a lot. If ever a crime occurs in any place, they look for the motive. What motivated the person to do what they did. Maybe the robber took the bank because they were heavily in debt. What if the person who killed another was doing it in an act of self-defence? Similarly, an incident has occurred in Islamabad which causes one to think about the criminal’s motives!

Out Of Desperation:

Now, this can be one of the most influenced reasons for committing a crime. There are times when people find themselves in difficult situations. These situations can be too trying and may cause the person not to explore alternatives. In such a case, the most outstanding means of work runs through a person’s mind.

An act out of desperation may not always have the most sinister intentions behind it. Of course, it is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but those intentions don’t always lead to fault. In recent news, a news person from Islamabad had the wheels of their vehicle stolen! Yes, someone came and took off with all the wheels.

A Humble Thief:

However, in reference to the crime above, there is one thing to be noted. The thief left something behind. No, we are not talking about calling cards left by thieves from movies. This person left behind a note for the owner of the car. The note stated quite a lot of interesting things.

Check this out!

One of the most mentioned parts is that the person kept apologizing for stealing the tires. The note then discusses that the person has a family and is doing this out of sheer desperation. This shows that maybe the person did this with the stoutest heart. We don’t know what may be going through their life. The note ends with them pleading with the owner not to wish ill of them.

Jumping To Conclusions:

This news has had quite a lot of different opinions from people. Some are in awe of the person responsible, while others are bashing their actions. Desperation indeed makes us do such acts, but we must always try to get a grip on our impulses. It is easier to walk into a bank with a gun than earn that amount over time.

We hope that not a lot of damage was done to the owner of the car. After all, we don’t know their life circumstances either. They may find it difficult to replace all the tires, which can be costly. However, one thing is interesting. There is always a chance that the Islamabad thief may return the belongings

Pakistan Women Cricketers Return To International Cricket On Wednesday

Durban, 19 January 2021: Pakistan women’s national cricket team will be in action after a gap of over 10 months when they step out on the field at Kingsmead Cricket Stadium for the first of the three one-day-internationals against South Africa on Wednesday.

The national women’s team played their last international game during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 in Australia before the Covid-19 pandemic brought an abrupt halt to sporting activities across the globe.

Javeria Khan who is the joint leading run-scorer for her side against South Africa captains Pakistan for the series. The right-handed top-order batter has scored 377 in 14 innings and has struck the most fours (41) for her side.

Her batting average of 48 is the best for a Pakistan batter against South Africa in South Africa.

The 17-member line-up also boasts all-rounder Nida Dar, who has the best bowling average of 18 and the second best economy rate of 3.07 amongst the Pakistan bowlers who have bowled 60 or more overs against South Africa.

Pakistan’s last tour of South Africa in May 2019 resulted in one of the most thrilling ODI series played in the history of the women’s game. The three-match ODI series, part of ICC Women’s Championship, ended in tie with the 1-1 scoreline. That the series finished that way was because of left-arm orthodox Nashra Sandhu, who dazzled with the bat scoring seven runs off the last two balls of the final match.

This series also serves as a platform for the women’s team to begin their preparations for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers which will be held in July this year.

All three ODIs and the three T20Is, which follow them, will be played at the Kingsmead Cricket Stadium and this will mark the first instance of the side playing at this venue.

Javeria Khan: “We are absolutely delighted to be in South Africa to resume international cricket after a long gap of 10 months. We have been eagerly waiting for this moment and since now it is here, every player is excited and looking forward to making it memorable.

“This squad has been sweating it out and have put in the hard yards in the last three months. Despite Covid-19 pandemic, we were fortunate enough to have a strength and conditioning camp, a three-team domestic T20 tournament and a pre-departure camp in which we got the desired match practice.

“This series is of great significance for us as it not only allows us to play a better-ranked side but it also serves as a platform to kick off our preparations for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers later this year. We have had competitive training sessions since our arrival here and they have helped us in acclimatisation.”

Pakistan and South Africa have played 21 ODIs against each other. Pakistan have won four, while South Africa have won 15.

Pakistan squad:

Javeria Khan (c), Aimen Anwar, Aliya Riaz, Anam Amin, Ayesha Naseem, Ayesha Zafar, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana, Kainat Imtiaz, Muneeba Ali Siddiqui, Nahida Khan, Nashra Sandhu, Nida Dar, Omaima Sohail, Sadia Iqbal, Sidra Nawaz (wk) and Syeda Aroob Shah

Tour schedule (all matches at Kingsmead Cricket Stadium, Durban):

20 Jan – First ODI, 1pm (PST)
23 Jan – Second ODI, 1pm (PST)
26 Jan – Third ODI, 1pm (PST)

29 Jan – First T20I, 6.30pm (PST)
31 Jan – Second T20I, 6.30pm (PST)
3 Feb – Third T20I, 6.30pm (PST)

What Happened To The Samsung Galaxy S20 Series?

For many smartphone manufacturers, it is not common to discontinue previous smartphone models. Even though the new models get all the attention, the previous models’ price tag gets slightly lower than the latest release. However, that has not been the case with Samsung this year.

Did The Samsung Galaxy S20 Get Discontinued?

Contrary to normal practice, manufacturers would lower the price-tag on their old smartphones, but Samsung did not opt for that this year. Instead, they removed the smartphone from their website, and there is no option for a consumer who intends to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S20 series as it has been removed from Samsung’s official website.

If you visit Samsung’s official website now, you’d only be able to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, which was announced hardly three months ago. However, the original Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra have all been listed out of stock on their website. As per the latest reports, the Galaxy S20 range smartphones are out of stock not only on Samsung’s global website but also on their Indian, UK, and Chinese online stores. This shows this might be a global halt on the sale of the predecessors of the newly released Samsung Galaxy S21 series.

Is Samsung Cooking Something Other Than Smartphones Too?

As per industry analysts, Samsung’s moves in the past few weeks shows that the company is adamant about providing innovation to the market and is not solely focusing on its smartphones. The Korean tech giant released SmartTag at its “Unpacked” event, which would help the users keep track of their stuff, personal belongings, and their pets. The company also talked about the possibility of a Samsung Robot, referred to as “The Bot Handy.” As per initial revelations, the robot is expected to work like a personal assistant, which would reportedly be able to do your laundry and feed you food.

Samsung’s Chinese counterpart Huawei, a prominent competitor right next to Apple and OnePlus, has also announced plans to launch the HiCar smart car with BAIC. Even Apple might be releasing a smart car in 2021.

This shows that even though the companies have focused on smartphones in the past, they seem to have been moving on and expanding their horizons to introduce products that would add value and convenience to our lives and assist us in our day-to-day tasks.

Humaima Malick Bashes Famous Fast-Food Chain For Serving “Bad” Food

A famous fast-food chain is being accused of terrible things by the one and only Humaima Malick. Who stands a chance here?

Humaima Malick Has Spoken Out

It seems as if Malick had planned a girl’s night in with her nieces, which obviously includes meals from her favorite fast-food chain!. However, that plan turned sour for Malick and their nieces when the food they received has put them down for up to 2 days.

It appears to be a classic case of food poisoning for Humaima Malick and her nieces. They are currently suffering from terrible stomach aches and vomiting.

Instagram Is The Tell All

The famed actress took to social media to express her grievances with “Uncle Donald.” As we have asserted before, if you need to make sure your voice is heard, take social media. Having the following that Malick gives one a greater incentive to post publicly so that justice can be witnessed.

Malick made a story in which she shared her bad experience 

humaima malick mcdonald's

As can be seen, Malick had her own theories as to how she has fallen sick after eating food from ‘uncle Donald’. It’s because, according to her, they are serving “old and bad” food. And that’s not all! This is the third time that Humaima Malick has experienced this at the international chain. The third time clearly isn’t the charm!

Food Authorities, MNCs and Food Standards

The situation begs the question: why did Malick go there the third time after having suffered the first two? There are way too many alternate options now. Hundreds of people have food from the famous place daily, and chances are many who had it on the same day as Malick did not fall sick. 

Different people have different metabolisms that react differently to food. If something is not suiting someone, in particular, the best bet is to go for the alternative! Alas, this does not get the famous eatery off the hook. 

If you follow social media, you will find a plethora of conspiracy theories over what this fast-food actually serves to us. But if any action can be taken, it can be individual— you can step away and persuade others to do the same because they will not stop serving.

Potato Diet: Everything You Need To Know About It

There’s a new diet on the bock, and it’s the most unusual one you could think of. The potato diet could help you lose nearly 6 kilograms in just a week, and here’s the lowdown on it.

About The Diet

The name of the diet is quite self-explanatory. The potato diet involves eating nothing but, as you can guess, potatoes! So it’s basically carbs, carbs, and only carbs. It’s considered a crash diet in the health world because it is neither balanced nor nutritious. However, case studies have confirmed that it makes you lose weight in a short time.

What Does The Diet Include?

The rules of the potato diet are simple. You can enjoy using herbs, spices, and oils for seasoning your potatoes, and they can be boiled, baked, or mashed too. However, chips are just not allowed (apologies!) Here’s the fun (or revolting part): the amount of potatoes you should be eating every single day is two to five pounds. Sweet potatoes are not included!

If you decide to give it a go, another ‘do not’ is exercise. You are going to have to forgo your gym time if you decide to follow this diet. 

Results!

Since this is a crash diet, it is not recommended by health experts for a long time. However, within the time it is deemed fit, it can help lose a lot of weight, approximately a week.

One woman managed to lose 12lb over the course of seven days on the potato diet, while her friend lost just 4lb doing the cabbage soup diet. (We have no clue what the cabbage one is yet, and we have a feeling we don’t want to find out.) The woman on the potato diet claimed that she would not like to see potatoes again in her life whilst the other regretted not following it.

Though losing 4lbs is incredible in one week, she said she’d rather have had potatoes.

Lose It Safely

While the potato diet and its results can be tempting for many, experts do not recommend crash diets to begin with. If you absolutely must, then they are not recommended for more than seven days in a row. 

The health expert said: ‘Do remember that, although popular, crash dieting is frowned upon by many health professionals for being unbalanced. Losing a lot of weight quickly can be dangerous and may not offer long-lasting results.’

Here Are The Top Ten Most Valuable Global Brands Of 2020

2020 took a toll with the arrival of COVID. Almost every industry, probably except pharmaceutical, took a major hit. Or at least, that’s what we would think considering how much the covid affected businesses. But that’s not so. COVID did not affect everything equally. While some companies took a hit, some rose in ranks at quite a percentage. So let’s look at the top ten most valuable global brands in the running.

But before we get to that, it is interesting to note a pattern. In the top ten brands, five of them are from the category, technology. So that means technology was the industry that benefitted the most in the current scenario. And it makes sense as well, considering everyone was supposed to stay in the house and practice isolation. So, to have something for entertainment, or staying in touch with friends or even work, technology was the solution.

1. Apple

The brand value for Apple at the year-end is priced at USD 323 Billion, and the year on year percentage change is at 38%.

2. Amazon

With USD 201 billion, Amazon has seen almost 60% year on year change. Talk about cashing the new normal the right way.

3. Microsoft

Microsoft has not been that far away either. It has seen a 53% year on year change and is worth 166 billion dollars.

4. Google

But the worth of the company does not tell you if you did good or bad generally. Take Google, for instance, it is at USD 165 billion, only 1 billion less than Microsoft, but Google has actually seen a negative year on year percentage change.

5. Samsung

The tech brand Samsung has seen a minor but positive change, that of 2%. It is right now at $62 billion.

6. Coca-Cola

The brand had seen a decline of USD 13 billion since 2010. In fact, in just the past year, the brand has seen a negative YoY change of 10%. It makes sense considering in 2020; the company shut off quite some of its products.

Coca-Cola To Cut Zombie Brands Image Source: bbc.com

7. Toyota

Toyota is at $52 billion with a negative 8% year on year change.

8. Mercedez

The car brand is at 49 billion dollars and negative 3% YoY.

9. McDonald’s

Food brand, as expected, went down 6% and is currently at USD 43 billion.

10. Disney

With $41 billion, Disney has seen a negative 8% year on year change.

Here is the complete list of the 50 top global brands of 2020 around the world. We have already mentioned 10 of them so that you can see the rest of the 40 in the picture below.

So what would you say? Has the year been good, or has the year been bad?

Scientific Explanation: Can People Really Hear The Dead?

Research by Scientists on talking to dead
Image Source: livescience.com

The world is full of various forms of mysteries and queries. You may often find yourself going through certain experiences. Some of these are pleasant, whereas others fill you full of dread. Human beings have a tendency to attach objects with memories. So whenever they see that particular object, a memory is triggered. This is also why it can be difficult for people to come to terms with grief. This is because objects associated with memories remind them of their loved ones.

Now where there are such experiences, there are those that do not just limit themselves to this world. This is where we enter into the paranormal zone. You are already aware of this due to the heightened references in pop culture and stories told by people. This includes the presence of ghosts, spirits as well as communication of the dead. Scientists are now trying to understand how some people are able to hear the dead.

Paranormal Activity

As the title above suggests, it is a reference to a popular movie. It may not be an entirely truthful experience or the most accurate, but that film does deliver some moments that may strike with people. The depictions in it portray the presence of spirits in a household and cameras that capture their activities.

Now, in recent studies being done, Scientists are trying to understand a phenomenon. They are trying to get a grasp of how a select number of people are able to communicate with the dead. This means actually finding ways to talk to your loved ones who have passed. They conducted a survey too, whose results we will now tell you.

Communication With The Deceased

People who are able to communicate with the deceased are often referred to as spiritualists. They have this ability where they claim to have talked to people from the other realm. Whether it is their loved ones or people they don’t even know, they have said to be able to communicate. A survey by Scientists revealed that a vast majority of spiritualists believe in the paranormal.

Many of them claim to hear the voices of the dead on a daily basis too. According to the survey, they were also less likely to be able to care about other people’s opinions. Additionally, scientists also reported that these people are more prone to hallucinations. It has long been debated whether schizophrenia plays a role in this, but there is more work.

Scary Experiences

Every one of us has had such experiences. Even if someone is able to talk to the dead, it doesn’t mean the experience is a cakewalk for them. If they were doing it for the first time, one could imagine just how terrifying it can be to hear the voice of the dead.

Of course, it is seen that people are able to harness this ability and use it in various ways. With this enters the concept of allowing other people to communicate too. This way, people who cannot hear the dead often try contacting them through the spiritualists.

UNICEF’s Latest Campaign On COVID-19 Vaccine Targets Rich Countries

Where COVID really highlighted class differences in the past year, what is stopping its vaccine’s development not to do the same? Us. It’s us who can step up and do something that will ensure a lesser divide. UNICEF, it seems, wants to remind us of this very fact, or rather jerk us awake taking the help of a very thought-provoking ad.

COVID-19 Vaccine Ad

In the ad, they show the visuals of two girls with luxury clothing. They are seen wearing fancy, priceless jewelry. Accompanied with perfect makeup, the two models are seen posing with a bottle. They caress the bottle all over their face in a sexualizing way. The bottle in question was labeled COVID-19 vaccine. But the way the model advertised with it seemed like she was doing a campaign for a fancy perfume bottle.

UNICEF Image Source: Ads Of The World

And this was the whole point UNICEF wanted to make.

Let’s give you an example. During COVID-19, as lockdowns were imposed, the rich could afford to work from home or had enough savings to live through the lockdown months. On the other hand, the poor who earned through daily wages by doing manual labor, they suffered the most. They couldn’t get the work, and they had no savings. So the divide between the two classes deepened further.

Now that the vaccine is here for the virus that had choked the world, the question is, who will get it? Since the companies who have produced the virus are running businesses, they obviously have stated a price for it. But let’s be honest, the price for millions and billions of people is not going to be something that every country can afford to pay. This way, the vaccine will become a luxury only rich countries can afford. And the divide that was amongst the classes will amplify to become the divide between countries; rich countries and developing countries.

This is not something that should be endorsed, considering who are we to decide who gets to live a normal life compared to who doesn’t. COVID-19 is an enemy we all need to fight together.

Pakistan is seeing an impressive rise in its automotive industry. Where we were sitting ducks in between, now newer cars are entering Pakistan. It does seem so that Toyota and Honda are not the only runners in this race. Where people used to go for just Corolla and Civic, now we can imagine people buying Changan Cars as well as KIA vehicles.

Speaking of KIA, that brand is another one that has seen a substantial rise in its production. With the Sportage revival out there, electric vehicles and as well as hybrids are on the way; there is much to see. If we look at Changan, they are set to release more vehicles in Pakistan too. In light of this, MG Motors has just gotten something of good news in regards to Pakistan!

MG Motors

Now this company, going by the name of Morris Garages, has been at work for a long time. This brand has been working since the early 20th century, and they have produced some of the most impressive vehicles. It is a British Marque known for its sports cars and mini cars.

Over the years, the company has shifted in its ownership, now being owned by China. In specific, it is the Chinese state-run SAIC motor. In recent news, they have been given something of a permit and an allowance. But what is it for exactly? Yes, let us dive into the details of this.

Getting The Green Light

Since it’s debut with the MG HS, the company has been quite famous in Pakistan. They have built up a reputation of sorts for making vehicles with robust quality and premium features. In recent news, the company has just been given the Greenfield status. This means that they can now locally assembled vehicles in Pakistan!

Is this not one of the best news to have been heard so far? Now, Pakistan is not just a host to vehicle import but even production. A company that was once not even near this region of the world is now going to enter the coastal areas. Who knows, maybe we even see more of these driving around in the next year or so. Under this status, the manufacturer can also import units in Pakistan with a 50% concession on Customs Duty.

Automotive Progress In Pakistan

So, what does this tell us? Of course, there is the underlying point that Pakistan is gaining popularity. This shows that, as more and more cars enter Pakistan, the better it is. Even the brand, going by the name of BAIC, will finally launch four new vehicles in Pakistan. This includes SUVs and Sedans both. It went quiet when the pandemic hit but now is becoming the talk of the town again.

We hope that this makes the automotive industry boom even more in Pakistan. As the year progresses further, more and more brands are expected to enter Pakistan. Where electric is slowly becoming the new norm, charging stations and Teslas may not be too far.

Its name can best understand Samsung’s latest release. The “SmartTag” is truly one of their smartest creation yet, and we have a feeling you’d love to know about it!

What Can It Do?

Samsung’s SmartTag is a portable, battery-powered device that can be attached to anything you like, be it your pet or your waller. Then you are required to set up the tag and link it to your Samsung account. Following that, the tag can be found using the SmartThings Find the app on your phone wherever you are.

Although there isn’t a lot of clarity regarding “SmartTag’s” battery life, Samsung is yet to provide more details.

Trouble Finding A Lost Item?

Once you know you have lost something, open the SmartThings Find the app on your smartphone. You will then tap on the Find card, pick the device you want to locate, and wait for it to work!

Sometimes we lose things nearby if we’re in a hurry. If you’re close to the lost item, the gauge can be used on the screen to show how far away the item is. The fuller the gauge gets on the screen, the closer you are to the lost item. To help you find the tag, you can even make it play a sound.

Two For You To Love 

The first SmartTag is available alongside the Galaxy S21 lineup. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as its connection standard. On the other hand, the other version, called SmartTag Plus, uses ultrawideband (UWB)  connectivity for a greater range of connections. 

There are two versions of the SmartTags because all Samsung Galaxy phones do not support UWB, but they all support BLE. Keep in mind, only the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, the Galaxy S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra support UWB. 

How Much Will My Pockets Suffer?

The SmartTags available for the Galaxy S21 launch come for $30 for one, $50 for two, and $85 for a four-pack. However, the UWB version will launch at $40 for one and $65 for a two-pack.

Things You Need To Know

The extra features of UWB mean that you can use a dedicated augmented reality mode in the SmartThings Find the app, which can help you find something in the real world. It will help you pinpoint a tag’s location in reality, instead of using a gauge that fills in as you get closer to it.

Using augmented reality, you will be able to hold up your phone and view exactly where the tag is! This is done using a combination of your phone’s camera and a graphic in the app to see the world around you. So are you going to be making the purchase?

Wearing a mask is as essential to life today as breathing. However, for many, this basic form of protection results in acne. So how do you protect yourself and keep your skin perfect?

How Is Maskne Caused?

Maskne is basically when due to wearing a face mask, your skin gets irritated and starts breaking out. This skin condition that can develop is also called dermatitis. In said condition, whenever anything will come into contact with the skin, it will get irritated.

Maskne is caused by the heat and friction created within your masks because of the hot weather, right. Moreover, when you breathe into it, for several seconds, that same air is trapped into your mask before it gets released.

Most people also repeat masks more than what is allowed, or they put their mask in dirty places. It’s important to keep washing your masks if they’re re-usable and to use a new one every time if they’re store-bought.

How Do We Treat It?

Of course, it can make many feel conscious, but the great thing is that if you have maskne when you go out, it does get concealed. However, what can we do to make it go away?

Start by keeping a cleanser or face cleaning wipes with you. You need to takes “mask breaks” in which you can go somewhere secluded and take your mask off. At that time, it is also preferable for you to wash your face with a gentle cleanser.

Other than that, try your luck with BHAs! BHAs are an active chemical exfoliant that helps
