The health care company, Johnson & Johnson, has announced to discontinue selling Skin-Whitening products. The decision to discontinue whitening products comes in after protest took place in the United States after the killing of an African-American man, George Floyd.

Band-Aid, which is owned by the same company, announced that they are bringing back bandages that will match different skin tones. The band-aids were available in the market till 2005 until sales declined. Hence, they were discontinued now.

“We’ve seen conversation increase on this topic, and we were planning to bring a new offering to the market for diverse skin tones,” the company said in a statement.

Band-Aid said in an Instagram post said, “⁣⁣We stand in solidarity with our Black colleagues, collaborators, and community in the fight against racism, violence, and injustice.”

“⁣⁣We are committed to launching a range of bandages in light, medium, and deep shades of Brown and Black skin tones that embrace the beauty of various skin. We are dedicated to inclusivity and providing the best healing solutions, better representing you.”

“⁣⁣We are committed to launching a range of bandages in light, medium, and deep shades of Brown and Black skin tones that embrace the beauty of various skin. We are dedicated to inclusivity and providing the best healing solutions, better representing you.”

The killing sparked an international conversation that led to the movement “Black Lives Matter.” Brands around the world are discontinued products that dictated the same narrative. They were heavily criticized for expressing solidarity with the BLM movement while also selling products that advertise skin-lightening effects and racism.

J&J’s official website is currently being updated. The links of skin-lightening products will be removed. However, the products may appear on shelves “for a short while.”

Previously, Johnsons & Johnsons have faced several lawsuits since 2014, which accused the company of hiding the cancer risks associated with its talc-based baby powder. Under pressure, the health care company had discontinued its world-famous talc-based baby powder products in the United States and Canada. Read the full story here:

The Evolution of PlayStation Consoles Throughout the Years!

Jun 22, 2020

Childhood memories are a delightful recollection for many of us, but as far as I can remember, my childhood was all about gaming!

That’s what happens when you are the only girl in the household, and you grow up between a brother and male cousins!

As a kid, I had fallen head-over-heels in love with video games while watching them play. One of the most iconic consoles in our households was the evergreen PS (PlayStation).

From there, the console has come a very long way! From just PS to now what is called the PS5, here’s how Sony created and evolution one of the most successful console lines ever!

PlayStation – 1994

The PlayStation will always remain a part of me as it played a vital role in my childhood. I can still recall the system being bulky; the games came in the form of sleek CDs.

Thes system was officially launched in Japan in 1994 and the US/Europe in 1995. It had just three buttons on top and space CD inserting. PS – it was the first console in the history of gaming to sell more than 100 million units worldwide!

Some of the best titles made for the console include Crash Bandicoot (1996), Ridge Racer (1994), Tomb Raider (1996), and plenty more. One of the most attractive features of the PlayStation was the Link Cable.

The PlayStation Link Cable allowed two players to plug into two systems via 2 TVs for multiplayer titles before the internet became mainstream.

PlayStation 2 – 2000

The second generation of the PlayStation came out in 2000, and just like its predecessor, it set a new standard in video gaming.

Although the PS2 was even bulkier, it was a beaut! High Definition 3D visuals, online play, and an integrated DVD player meant movies were just a button press away, without the need for expensive add-ons, definitely value for money written all over it.

The console also had some of the best titles, including Grand Theft Auto III (2001), Ratchet & Clank (2002), Jak & Daxter (2001), and others. One of the most attractive features of the PS2 was its accessories. Gamers had the option of buying SingStar mics and EyeToy camera for gameplay.

PlayStation Portable (PSP) – 2004

Launched in Japan in 2004 and the US and Europe in 2005, Sony had once again set a new standard in the industry.

To be honest, the PSP is one of my favorite classic consoles of all time. Not only can you play your favorite titles, but you don’t have to be glued to a TV screen stuck in one place for hours! You could carry the console on hand with you anywhere and everywhere!

PlayStation 3 – 2006

PlayStation 3 indeed was a sight to see when it was launched in Japan in 2006. It had the mighty power of the PS2 and a lot more.

With this one, High Definition (HD) became standard with an integrated Blu-ray Disc player. Just like with the PSP, players could do a lot more than just game; this includes watching 3D movies.

PlayStation 4 – 2013

Sony PlayStation housed the 8th generation of video games that came in high dynamic range that was integrated for streaming and social media.

In 2016, Sony rolled out the PlayStation4 Pro, which brought the visual fidelity of 4K and High Dynamic Range.

PlayStation 5 – 2020

The PlayStation 5, like me, is a sight for sore eyes! The console immediately received immense love as soon as Sony launched it.

Although the PS5 is new, and is packed with even more features and is AWESOME, the classic consoles will also have an extraordinary place in our hearts as well.

Which console rules your heart?

According to several sources, Dubai is opening its doors for tourists again from the 7th of July. It has been over two months since the country had banned the entry of foreigners. The strategy was applied to curb the deadly coronavirus.

The economy of Dubai heavily relies on tourism; it essential for the authorities to open its doors again. As the lockdown eases in the country, the residence will be able to enter the country from the 23rd of June (Tuesday).

However, the entrance will only be approved with a certificate that proves that the person entering the country has recently been tested for the novel coronavirus.

The Gulf Arab States airline posted a picture on their Instagram with the caption:

Welcome back to more stunning window views on Emirates as we resume flights to 30 cities worldwide. #WindowViewWednesday

“Those entering would have to present certificates to show they had recently tested negative for the coronavirus or would undergo tests on arrival at Dubai airports” – Dubai government media office statement, quotes a leading source.

Citizens and residents who are stuck abroad due to a sudden lockdown can finally return home from tomorrow onwards. “The new announcement will allow thousands of people affected by the worldwide restrictions in passenger air traffic since the start of the pandemic to resume their travel plans,” the Dubai media office said in the statement.

Emirates Resumes Passenger Flight Operations From Pakistan to Dubai!

The Gulf Arab state halted all passenger flights at the beginning of March to curb the spread of the virus. Foreign citizens were banned from returning to the country. Some residence were allowed entry after the UAE government approved.

A strict lockdown was imposed earlier in the country, which is now being outlawed. However, restrictions on movement persist. Reportedly, shopping malls have started opening routinely, and private businesses have opened, and people are back to work.

We are pleased to announce the addition of 10 new cities to our fast growing destination network. Emirates will offer scheduled flights for travellers from Colombo from 20 June; Sialkot from 24 June; Istanbul from 25 June; Auckland, Beirut, Brussels, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from 1 July; and Barcelona and Washington DC from 15 July. We are also increasing frequencies on existing services. Emirates will offer connections through @DXB for 40 cities from July, giving more options for customers who wish to return home or those travelling for essential purposes.

Dubai’s Emirates has begun operations at the beginning of June. Gradually, the airline is planning to return to normal in full swing for summers with new sets of mandatory precautionary measures.

We think wearing face masks and taking precautions will become the new norm! Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Jun 22, 2020

Earlier this week, social media went into panic mode due to Truecaller being blocked for seemingly unknown reasons.

Truecaller is an integrated caller ID service mobile app developed to find mobile number details with just a telephone number. The app also has a feature that lets users block annoying spam and unknown calls to put an end to mobile spam-like Telemarketing and blank calls.

Social Media Panics as Truecaller Blocked in Pakistan for ‘Unknown Reasons’!

Over 250 million people are using Truecaller, and the app blocks over 3 million spam calls in Pakistan every month.

5 Reasons Women SHOULDN’T Shouldn’t Get Married – According to Rishta Aunty

However, Pakistanis are currently unable to access the app or the website, so here is are three alternatives that you can use instead:

1. Whoscall

Available on both Android and iOS, Whoscall has a repository of over a billion numbers.

Its offline database allows you to identify calls even when your phone isn’t connected to the internet, a function that Truecaller did not have.

The app also lets you block spam calls, specific numbers, unknown numbers, and more.

2. Showcaller

Showcaller is easy to set up, user-friendly, and small-sized (>4MB).

It doesn’t use up too much of your phone’s resources and is considerably less battery-draining as compared to Truecaller.

The app shows detailed caller ID info on incoming calls, including the names and photos of callers.

Other features of the app include an unknown number search, offline database, built-in call recorder, and more.

3. Hiya

Earlier known as Whitepages Caller ID, Hiya is a free caller ID app that identifies the calls you want to take and blocks the numbers and texts you think are spam or wish for whatever reason to avoid.

Similar to Truecaller, Hiya identifies unknown numbers, lets you search for unknown numbers, and automatically blocks spam calls. Moreover, it does not show any ads.

Which one of these alternatives to Truecaller do you plan to download?

Longer Food-Preservation Necessary for Better Nutrition & Safety

Jun 21, 2020

The quality of nutritional intake is critical for healthy growth and vitality of every human. As the debate on the need for a stronger immune system gains importance, experts stress more on the benefits of fresh-food enriched with vitamins and minerals. However, due to a long supply-chain of foods, from farm to market, special measures must be taken during food-processing, storage and transportation, to prevent wastage, nutritional-loss, bacteria-growth and pollution.

Once it reaches the consumers’ household, food is kept in conventional refrigerators, due to busy lifestyles of the families. So, the vegetables, meat, dairy, fruits and other edibles that we eat have often lost its nourishment value. Hence, additional costs are incurred due to wastage of food, which is produced after long efforts by the farmers and the food-industry.

Pakistan plays an important role in enabling food-security, internationally – so the nation must strive more for Food-Preservation, because if the current practices and scale of wastage prevails, it may increase the possibility of major food-shortages. Thus, more awareness about ‘Food-Preservation Technology’ is needed among the masses.

Technological evolution is enabling new ways of Food-Preservation that are more effective and safer than the older methods like; chemical preservatives and additives, to extend the shelf-life of food. Therefore, Dawlance – the leading enterprise in home-appliances, is now innovating refrigerators, that keep the food healthy and safe for longer without reducing and effecting essential Vitamins and original flavors of the food.

These revolutionary refrigerators fulfill the evolving needs of the society, while featuring new technologies improve the food preservation, preserve vitamins of food and increase cooling retention of appliances. Companies in Pakistan should focus on food preservation and food nutrition as food wastage is a growing concern in Pakistan and across the globe. Furthermore, Pakistan having majority youth population should have healthy vitamins for future generations to grow and prosper.

Cairo Building Hosts Virtual concerts And Qur’anic Recitations

Today while all of us are home-bound and are struggling to keep one another entertained, an Egyptian artist is using the back wall of a building in central Cairo to exhibit virtual concerts and recitations of the Qur’an to break the monotony of the curfew imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

How will this work?

The virtual concerts will include a projector and will begin at 8 p.m. every night in the El-Mounira area as the streets while the entire city goes into lockdown.

The curfew, which began in mid-March, triggered the idea of the virtual concerts to experimental filmmaker and artist Mohamed Allam. The plan did, however, didn’t come into action until mid-June.

Filmmaker and Artist Mohammad Allam

Allam, who’s been residing in downtown Cairo for 11 years and has become familiar with the district stated. “I have tools, like the projector, and I know how to use them,” Allam said. “So I thought, why not take the projector to the street instead of keeping it within the walls of my home. I thought, why not share this experience with the citizens of Egypt.”

He continued, “most of those who live in the area are elderly people, and since the spread of the coronavirus, they have not left their homes. As the sun sets, they usually go out to their balconies, and so I decided to offer them Umm Kulthum concerts.”

The residents of Cairo

The building opposite Allam’s house is free of residents, making it an ideal location for his projector because it does not disturb anyone.

The artist’s work was encouraged by the residents, and he mentioned how he felt he was over the moon when people would go up to their balconies for the virtual concert.

“Several of my neighbors go to their balconies with the start of the virtual concert. I also started live-streaming the shows on my Facebook page,” mentioned Allam. His peers shared videos of his innovation gained immense popularity.

The legal ramifications of the idea

The artist is worried about the legal ramifications of his idea since projecting the images can result in inconvenience for residents living in the neighborhood.

At the same time, he is constructing ways to advance the project. The Cairo based artist is searching for friends who live in nearby buildings to test the idea and see how people of different backgrounds will react to it.

This is an excellent initiative for people who are exhausted from the monotonous routine and are bound in four walls of their home – thanks to the pandemic.

Always Arabia’s Latest Commercial Exhibits A Brave New World

Jun 20, 2020

Women’s empowerment and gender equality is crucial for our society to assure the sustainable growth of the nation. Several world governors have argued that sustainable advancement is unthinkable without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

US multinational Procter and Gamble’s (P&G) feminine hygiene brand Always has released a new online advert, titled “The New Brave,” describing it as “a movement that celebrates the strength of all women during these challenging times.”

It highlights the strength and self-empowerment of women during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and it’s accompanying lockdowns, encompassing those combatting isolation at home, not seeing family for lengthy periods, managing remote work and school, teaching and learning with children, and adapting to a new meaning of courage.

This is not the first time P&G has strived to rein female empowerment, tying in with its ideologylosophy, which is to be a “force for good.”

Always’ prior campaigns such as “Like a Girl” garnered global honor, and closer to home, its “Generation of Firsts” campaign marked a significant juncture for Saudi women.

In addition to the “The New Brave” advert, and as part of its COVID-19 relief mission, P&G has been laboring with several charities and governments to contribute to those in need, particularly keeping in mind that 70 percent of frontline workers are females.

As the recent advert states: “The recognition and festivity of  this courage are why we will come out of this challenging period stronger, braver, and changed with the realization of our potential, there has never been a better time to claim #TheNewBrave.”

The marketing and advertising enterprises have historically been more about tale than reality, and female idealization rather than empowerment.

Today, however, we’re discovering a sea-change in the way brands represent and market to women, fuelled by social and political movements.

10 Things You Need to Know About the DC Inverter AC

By

Rehan Hashmi

-

Jun 20, 2020

The ongoing summer season is probably the hottest in Pakistan. To beat this heat, the best solution is to install an AC at your home. However, the prohibitive cost of electricity makes people think twice about buying one. The modern day innovation of the DC Inverter AC cuts down the electricity cost further when compared with a standard split AC making it a better choice as well as a wiser investment decision.

Not sure what a DC Inverter AC is? Here are the 10 things about the DC Inverter AC you must know.

1) It saves 60% Power

When it comes to power consumption normal AC consumes more electricity, but ORIENT DC Inverter AC because of its advanced technology saves 60% power, lowering the electricity bill. We all know that compressors in standard split AC keep switching On/Off several times and the startup of any motor consumes a lot of power. But in DC Inverter AC, the compressor starts for once when switched ‘On’ and maintains its motor speed according to the requirement of room temperature. It continues to run very slowly and thus, results in lesser power consumption.

2) Low Voltage Operation (No Need for a Stabilizer)

The DC Inverter ACs have the tendency to operate in voltage as low as 140v. They keep running uninterruptedly in low voltage because the 3) power supply converts into a Direct Current (DC) first and then it reconverts into an alternating current (AC) to the primary compressor motor which runs on different speeds.

3) Working on UPS / Generator/ Solar Panel

As the DC Inverter ACs can operate even with low voltage, they can also work on the UPS / Generator / Solar Panel of the required (appropriate) capacity. In Pakistan, where we have to face hours of load shedding daily, this feature is an added advantage. The ORIENT DC Inverter AC is the prime example in this case as it can run on UPS / Generator / Solar Panel of specified capacity.

4) Reaches the Set point of Temperature Faster (High Speed Cooling)

The DC Inverter AC reaches the set point of the thermostat (proposed temperature of the room) faster. Its compressor works at a high speed right from the start and chills the room in no time.

5) No Irregular Fluctuation in Temperature

The DC Inverter AC does not exhibit irregular fluctuations in the room temperature; neither does the room turn warmer, nor does it over cool and leave you shivering. The compressor in the AC continuously prevents over cooling or over heating in temperature.

In the standard AC for e.g , if you have set the temperature to 20 degrees Centigrade , once it reaches this temperature, the compressor turns off and temperature starts rising. At 22, it turns on again and then chills the room at 18 and you will start feeling too cold. Thus, it also exerts more pressure on the compressor.

6) Efficient Temperature Control Ability (Use of Energy)

As the compressor keeps running in the DC Inverter on variable speed, it maintains the temperature efficiently and avoids over cooling and temperature rise. The ORIENT DC Inverter AC can sense the minimal fluctuation in temperature too for example if someone opens the door or window, the compressor will work on variable speed accordingly to maintain the temperature and it is also effective in terms of use of energy.

7) Longer Life of Compressor

The core component of an AC is its compressor, and with the DC Inverter AC, it keeps working continuously at varied speed. The non-stop working does not affect the life of the compressor – in fact it gives it a longer life.

8) Produces Less Noise than the Standard AC

Another plus point to the DC Inverter AC is that it is quieter than the standard AC. Although the compressor motor works continuously, its latest technology controls the noise it produces.

9) Double Utility (Heating and Cooling)

The summer season becomes unbearable in Pakistan and winters just as cold. The DC Inverter AC offers you double utility as it keeps you chilled in the summers and can warm up your rooms in winter functioning as a heater.

10) Budget Friendly for Purchase

Even though ORIENT DC Inverter ACs make use of the latest technology compressors and save energy, they are still affordable. ORIENT DC Inverters are priced well within the range of a standard high quality split AC , starting from Rs. 59,000/-

The Hair & Beauty Industry Calls for Attention to the Government to Re-Open the Industry

By

Press Release

Jun 20, 2020

In light of the outbreak of COVID-19, perhaps the most badly affected businesses have been those that are service-based.

Though axknowledging that the hairdressing industry is a high-risk business in light of the novel coronavirus outbreak, the government cannot turn a blind eye to the industry.

The hair and beauty industry generates a large amount of revenue for the nation and the lack of government support will mean that businesses can only survive on savings, and personal investments of entrepreneurs, for so long.

We Have been closed from the 19th of march till today. It has now been four months since the closure of business for our industry.

We would like an open dialogue to exist between the government, with a timeline as to when we will be allowed to open; failing which we will have no choice but to open salons, the only other option being closure of hundreds of salons.

Another concern regarding this is that many women from low-income families, have used this skill to be able to become breadwinners of their families.

The prolonged closure of salons & spas around the country will result not only in a massive unemployment spike, and will therefore increase the economic burden already felt by many households.

More attention must be given to this industry, also due to the fact that the taxation paid by such businesses adds up to a large amount, taking into account those collected by the Sindh Revenue Board and the Federal Revenue Board.

Many of such businesses have already formulated stricter SOPs than the sectors that are allowed to be operational at the moment. We have the onus of adhering to both international as well as national regulations.

With all these factors putting more pressure on the hair & beauty industry with each passing day, the government needs to give more attention to the industry and offer relief so that businesses may cope, and will not have to resort to closure of businesses and the laying off of staff.

Nabila, President of PHABA says:

Our salons have been shut for over 3 months. We have had to pay staff salaries, utilities and rent without any income or support. While it would be very easy to play victim and ask for monitory help from the government, all we are asking for is permission to open our salons for a limited time period, few days a week catering to a small percentage of clientele with strict SOPs so we can sustain our selves. Nabila

Saeeda Mandviwalla – Vice President PHABA says:

Women led Buisness like salons are fundamental to promote women empowerment, jobs and Economic revenue in the country.

A CCTV footage showing a foodpanda rider getting mugged in Karachi has become viral on social media platforms.

Muhammad Noman was on his daily delivery routine at Nazimabad, Sector 1 on 15th June 2020 where he encountered an incident as two men approached him on a motorcycle, in an attempt to rob him.

A scene that plays out on streets across Pakistan almost daily, only this time there was an unusual twist.

According to the CCTV footage, two masked men on a motorcycle approached the stopped delivery rider completing his delivery while passersby crossed the scene.

The robbers then continued to take their victim’s possessions but were then seen hugging their victim, shaking hands with him and returning all his possessions.

This bizarre turn of events has puzzled Pakistanis across the country.

The victim of the scene, Noman, started crying and requested the robbers to return his possessions. The two men felt Noman’s plea and returned his money.

The mixed emotions of kindness, adversity and sensitivity have made this one of the most watched and talked about videos online over the last week.

In his own words, Noman said (translated from Urdu): “I was confused for a second, thought they were people I know because they approached me saying ‘Salam’ and ‘How are you?’ etc.

When I realized what just happened and saw them leaving I asked them for my phone and money back, I also teared up, which is probably why those guys felt bad for me and returned everything.”

When reached for comment, foodpanda’s CEO Nauman Sikander Mirza said:

“Riders are essential frontline workers and our heroes.

They brave difficult conditions every day to deliver vitally needed food and groceries to your home so you can avoid going out and lessen the risk of Covid-19 for you and your family.

In this instance, I am relieved that Noman is safe and his possessions were returned, but I urge the authorities to do more for the protection of our hard working heroes.”

Nauman Mirza also shared that foodpanda already provides all its delivery riders road safety training, Covid-19 protection gear, health insurance and accidental death coverage. Insurance coverage is free of cost for all riders.

In incidents of criminal activity, if a rider is mugged, he/she has the provision to go to the rider ticketing platform where the rider needs to provide a copy of the valid FIR of the incident.

Upon provision of the valid FIR, the looted amount is waived off from the rider, which is completely borne by foodpanda, in order to protect the rider from financial losses.

Each rider operates in a limited zone of 4-5 kms radius so as to save their fuel cost with a designated department dealing with rider compensation which closely monitors rider’s earnings; with bonuses being provided regularly.

Amidst COVID, where organizations laid off their resources, foodpanda was the one of the few companies in Pakistan to provide earning assistance and ration support to their riders in areas where operations were halted due to the lockdown.

As Pakistan’s leading food delivery company, foodpanda ensures the safety and security of its fleet of more than 15,000 riders across the nation. For now, it’s nice to see that even Pakistani robbers have a heart and sensitive spot for people earning an honest living.

COVID 19 – Patients Who Are Asymptomatic Might Have Lower Immunity Levels

A question that has troubled scientists since the appearance of the pandemic is – does everyone infected with the virus generated antibodies – and if so, how long do they last?

The latest research exhibited on Thursday states that people who contract COVID-19 but don’t show any indications might have considerably lower levels of immunity against the novel virus compared to those who become severely ill.

The majority of virus victims show relatively insignificant signs of infection, and a small proportion shows no symptoms at all.

The two groups of patients

Very little is known about this asymptomatic group of people, given that they are far less likely to be tested than those who go on to develop severe symptoms, including respiratory difficulties.

Researchers in China compared two groups of individuals infected with COVID-19 in Chongqing’s Wanzhou district: 37 who showed symptoms versus 37 who did not.

The researchers assessed blood samples from both groups taken a few weeks after regaining and found that just 62.2 percent of the asymptomatic group had short-term antibodies, compared with 78.4 percent of symptomatic sufferers.

After eight weeks of healing, antibody presence had subsided to 81.1 percent of asymptomatic victims, compared with 62.2 percent of symptomatic patients.

Lower levels of anti-inflammatory

Furthermore, asymptomatic patients established to have lower levels of 18 pro and anti-inflammatory cell-signaling proteins than the symptomatic group, suggesting a weaker immune reaction to the novel coronavirus.

Authors of the study, which was disclosed in Nature Medicine, said their findings called into question the idea that everyone who has had coronavirus is invulnerable to future infection.

Immunity Passports

The IgG antibody levels in the patients also began to decrease within three months of infection in a considerable proportion of the asymptomatic victims, the study reported.

This conclusion, along with prior analyses of neutralizing antibodies in patients recouping from COVID-19, highlights the potential risks of using ‘immunity passports’ and supports the consequence of public-health interventions and widespread testing, the researchers announced.

They figured that further study in larger groups of symptomatic and asymptomatic victims is urgently needed to determine the length of antibody-based immunity.

Indus River Dolphins, One of World’s Rarest Species is Found in Pakistan!

There are many rare species around the world. Unfortunately, many of them are a day away from extinction. Animal rescuers do their best to protect, preserve, and breed these species so that they may live longer.

One such species which is found in Pakistan and River Beas is the Indus Dolphin. It is said that this breed is one of just four remaining freshwater dolphins species left on the planet.

Furthermore, it is one of the only two species know side-swimming, a behavior in which it lies on its side and flaps its tail.

Destroying their Natural Habitat

Unfortunately for these beautiful sea creatures, being trapped due to the large dams, commonly known as barrages, has become a considerable threat. These dams restrict their movements to roam freely in the water during the monsoon season.

The construction of the barrages destroys their natural habitat. Not only have they restricted the dolphin’s ability to migrate, but the diversions can lead to low water levels where these dolphins often get trapped.

Indus River Dolphins in Sindh

A majority of the dolphins have found themselves concentrated mostly near Sindh in-between 410 miles of water from Guddu to Kotri barrage.

According to studies conducted by Uzma Khan, Asia coordinator for WWF’s River Dolphins Initiative, DDT, and other pesticides in the animals’ tissue because of water pollution and other industrial waste dumped into the Indus.

The Importance of Preserving the Indus River Dolphins

To help in preserving the species, WWF and the government have curated programs which help in creating awareness among the locals. These locals are given training in how to help save stranded dolphins, which is assisting in the effort.

According to Khan, there are 1,987 Indus dolphins in Pakistan, from 132 back in 1972.

“If you go downstream from the Guddu [barrage], and you keep sailing, there comes the point where you see dolphins everywhere around you,” Khan says. “It’s overwhelming because they’re everywhere.”

At the same time, she says, “it’s a situation which can be challenging because all these dolphins are just in one stretch of the Indus River.” She tells National Geographic.

The Indus River Dolphin is locally called bhulan in the Urdu and Sindhi languages. According to Mir Akhtar Talpur, a field officer for Sindh Wildlife Department, a government agency, the dolphin “has been in the Indus for thousands of years, and is a mark of the Harappa civilization”.

The Harappa descendants consider the dolphin as a part of their heritage. The dolphins have become a part of stories and tales that fishermen tell their offsprings. One such tale is about a woman who offers butter and milk to a mystic patron of the river, the waters part, and she safely crosses to the other side. However, when she makes an unacceptable offering, she is then transformed into a dolphin by the river spirit.

Boost for Tourism

Father’s Day is on Sunday the 21st of June, and all of us wish to do something extra for our dad to celebrate his day with him. However, this June, rather than sitting at home doing nothing, try these fun, unique, and tasty ways to celebrate this special day.

While most dads don’t expect anything significant for their day, this year, try a few of these quarantine-inspired ideas to show your dad’s appreciation and love for all that he does for you and your family.

1. Classic sports highlight

If your dad is a sports junkie, then search for some unforgettable moments in sporting history on YouTube and watch them with your dad with some munchies. You can ask him about some of his favorite sports highlights and have him share his memories if he was at the game or witnessed it live on TV.

2. Bake him a cake

Go ahead and bale him a delicious cake made with lots of love. Find one that best matches his flavor preferences, and then dress it up with decorations that suit his interests.

3. Get him balloons from Bazzle.pk

Who doesn’t love balloons? Regardless of how old you are, balloons always manage to put a smile on your face and lift spirits! Bazzle.pk offers a variety of aircraft that you can purchase for your pops! Let this Father’s Day be a little different; let this one be the one he would never forget. Let Bazzle take care of the smile on your father’s face, and you just sit and enjoy his sheer happiness.

4. Prepare a game night

Get yourself a carrom pool, scrabble, and ludo and get it going with your dad. If he’s a stickler about screen time, give dad what he wants this Father’s Day: quality bonding time with the entire family. Once you convince everyone to step away from their screens, battle it out over a few board games, or see how well you can work together with.

5. Serve him a hearty brunch

Begin his day with a feast fit for a king, complete with some cheese omelet or pancakes, paratha or waffles, qeema or scrambled eggs, and whatever he likes! You can serve his brunch with a note that tells him how much you love him.

6. Host an outdoor movie

Shine a projector against a blank wall, and pick one of your dad’s favorite movies to watch. For a real theater experience, serve popcorn, candy, diet coke, and laugh.

7. Go for a bike ride

A great way to get outside while still, social distancing is to take a bike ride. Even if it’s just around your neighborhood, riding bikes will give everyone some (and let’s be honest, much-needed) exercise and right now.

He also highlighted the importance of digital adaptation to connect small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with digital platforms for access to global markets.

State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) official said that the regulatory framework for the facilitation of cross-border B2C (e-commerce) had been developed. The businesses will adopt it after the FBR has designed an e-commerce module based on the Web-based One Customs (WeBOC) system.

This new venture is a significant step for Pakistan in opening multiple doorways of opportunities for promoting trade as well as exploring new markets for exporters.

We wish these exporters all the very best.

Here is Why Dahab is the Ideal Red Sea Resort Town in Egypt

Jun 18, 2020

Dahab is a small red sea town in Egypt that has become a hotspot for nature lovers, thrill-seekers, and adventurers. It is said that the red sea town is so alluring that tourists often visit and stay here forever.

Tucked in the shadows of Egypt’s Sinai mountains, inland tourists are having the time of their life as they wait out on the ongoing pandemic: the novel coronavirus. The resort is just an hour’s drive from Sharm El Sheikh.

So why has this small town become a touristy spot?

It is because this small town is full of summer activities. Tourists love the beach and the resort; the area fulfills the requirement. Visitors come here to relax and admire different shades of blue while they leave behind the hustle and bustle of city life.

What makes the red sea resort so fascinating?

Tourists can enjoy the location for the entire year as the weather is perfect. Another reason is affordability; the area offers affordable accommodations, handicraft shops, cafes, tour operators, and much more. Let’s not forget that the vibe alone in this town is fascinating!

Dahab’s community is vibrant and multicultural. It comprises of Egyptians from the mainland, local Bedouins, and international immigrants.

A Russian immigrant, Julia Limonova, moved to Dahab three years ago. She says, “You feel yourself here, You can find your circle because there are so many different people like free divers, divers, kite surfers, windsurfers, and yogis. And there are different nationalities like Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, and Italians.”

It is notable to mention that there are no cases of novel coronavirus as of now in the area. However, there is a possibility that the claims have not been reported due to the lack of testing in the Red Sea town.

Rahma Zein from Cairo, who chose to stay back in Dahab, says, “No one is talking about the coronavirus here. In Cairo, you are constantly bombarded with the news,” which can be harmful to your mental health.

“It takes a psychological toll, and I believe that when your psychology is down, your immunity is down. Being here and not being engrossed in the conversation of coronavirus really helps you just be and brings a certain level of normality.”

“On a normal day, I wake up, make breakfast, go for a free dive, hang out on the beach, take a hike, eat then sleep,” she adds.

“In between sessions, I make phone calls and do my work.”

Sounds divine. Do you want to quarantine in Dahab too? Let us know in the comment section below.

The HUAWEI Y Series Revolutionizes the Entry-level Segment with the Introduction of a HD Camera & Super Long-Lasting Battery

By

Press Release

Jun 18, 2020

Huawei’s entry-level Y Series has a reputation for bringing in features from more premium phones, giving it a competitive edge in its segment.

Be it camera, battery life, overall performance or even design ethos, each device in the HUAWEI Y Series is designed to make premium features accessible to more users.

This is evident in its success in being a popular choice among customers since its inception in 2015.

Pioneering the entry-level segment, each device in the HUAWEI Y Series brings a fresh wave of innovation to its users, bringing to them new features and stylish designs with every smartphone.

Huawei added two new smartphones to this series, both of them packing powerful features, while also being unique in their own aspects, the HUAWEI Y6p and HUAWEI Y8p. Both of these phones come with a wide range of interesting innovations that not only make them better smartphones, but revolutionizes the entry-level smartphone segment with some never seen before features.

First up is the HUAWEI Y6p that takes a different approach to changing things around in the entry-level segment. Aimed at users who do more with their smartphone and demand more battery life, this new smartphone comes with a massive 5000mAh battery that not only lasts long during intensive use, but can also act as a power bank to charge other devices.

As with all Huawei products, this new addition also comes with a powerful camera setup in the form of its 13MP Triple Camera setup with a 13MP main camera which excels in low light, a 5MP Ultra-Wide and a 2MP depth sensor for natural bokeh effects. This is complemented by an 8MP Selfie camera upfront as well.

Along with its large battery, the HUAWEI Y8p is also a powerhouse, with 3GB of RAM for smooth running of apps, 64GB of storage and an MTK Helio P22 processor for efficient performance.

Another one of its standout features is in regard to its audio. Thanks to HUAWEI SuperSound, audio is louder, clearer and sharper than ever before, while additional features like FM radio that doesn’t need earphones to act as antenna, 9.1 channel sky surround sound for immersive audio and party mode, further provide everything an audiophiles needs.

In terms of display, the HUAWEI Y6p features the 6.3-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 1600×720. The back of the phone comes in beautiful colors of Emerald Green, Phantom Purple and Midnight Black while also housing the rear fingerprint sensor.

Next to that is the HUAWEI Y8p, which brings to the segment a 48MP AI Triple Camera, powerful performance and a stunning display. Its camera setup is quite impressive for an entry-level smartphone, in fact it is something that one would usually find on a more premium device. The setup consists of 48MP main camera, 8MP Ultra-Wide angle camera and a 2MP depth camera for bokeh effects.

However, what truly shines in this setup is the HUAWEI Y8p’s capability for low light photography with the Handheld Night Mode that uses on board AI and camera sensors for well-lit shots in low light situations.

This camera setup also brings to the entry-level segment a master AI that can recognize up to 22 scenes while shooting and intelligently adjusts any settings required for a perfect shot. Selfies are also vastly improved thanks to the 16MP AI Selfie Camera.

The HUAWEI Y8p also brings in outstanding performance with 6GB of RAM for smoother running of apps and software, with a massive 128GB of storage. It is powered by a 4000 mAh battery for all day performance, and runs on the Kirin 710F chipset with EMUI 10.1 for smooth and efficient performance. The HUAWEI Y8p also boasts its 6.3-inch HUAWEI Dewdrop OLED display, a first for the series. The display comes with an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 and even features an In-Display Fingerprint sensor, something not seen before in the series. The HUAWEI Y8p also continues with elegant design ethos with a 3D Curved Back design with nature inspired colorways of Breathing Crystal and Midnight Black.

How Facemasks Alter Our Interactions with Others

Jun 18, 2020

Facemasks alter our interactions with other people to quite an extent. Currently, the world is going through a pandemic where thousands have lost their precious lives due to the novel coronavirus. To curb the virus, more than 50 countries have mandated to follow standard operating procedures strictly.

One of the primary directives mandated is to wear a facemask in public places. While many countries have still locked down major cities, few of them have finally started to go back to what was once called ‘normal’.

In some Asian countries, people already wear facemasks because of the pollution, while many other countries are newer to the practice. People are struggling with something covering their faces at all times.

“It’s hard to breathe with a mask on” and “I can’t have a proper conversation because my words sound muffled” are two common objections, according to BBC.

Humans are prone to process faces as a whole and connect words to facial expressions. Covering face with masks will hide most of the face hence making interactions with others difficult.

Psychologist Rebecca Brewer studies facial expression from the Royal Holloway University of London. She says, “When we cannot see the whole face, such holistic processing is disrupted.”

“But millions of women around the world wear face veils every day with few apparent problems with hindered communication,” points out Sandy Ong from BBC.

However, Aleix Martinez has a difference of opinion. He says, “The fact that you’re wearing a mask or that you have your face covered should not prevent others from understanding what you’re trying to express non-verbally.”

Al Zayer, a woman living in Saudi Arabia, says her colleagues and aunts covered their faces. The only way she understood what they were trying to communicate was when she paid more attention to the body language, eye contact, tone, and hand gestures. She says, “It wasn’t hard, but it was very different.”

Facemasks will likely become widespread and common. It is best to get the hang of it and learn to communicate while having it on.

Al Zayer’s experience demonstrates that the interaction with masks may have altered, but it is unlikely that you can’t communicate. Specific charities, however, are concerned about the deaf communities as communication for them will become a huge problem.

Jun 18, 2020

Shani Arshad’s jingle is creating awareness about staying healthy during COVID-19. With the pandemic wreaking havoc on us, its difficult to find solace in things, but various activities like cycling, cooking, and running have helped people maintain their sanity. The masses are also relying on TikTok challenges to keep them thoroughly entertained.

One such challenge that took the social media by storm was the #ServiceShoesChallenge, where people made videos on the famous jingle of Service Shoes.

Since you all loved the old Servis Ad so much, we decided to turn it into the #ServisShoesChallenge. Whether you are…

Posted by Servis on Friday, June 12, 2020

That’s when the singer Shani Arshad flaunted his skills, and while he was adequately covered with masks and gloves, the singer chanted another catchy version of the Service Shoes.

A playback singer and songwriter, Shani Arshad broke into the music industry as a keyboard player.

The song is an awareness for people to maintain social distance, follow precautions, and maintain hygiene. So, guys, listen to Shani as he brings you a lockdown version of Service jingle.

Servis Shoes By Shani Arshad – Corona Remix

Shani wears gloves and mask even when he is composing songs. Shani takes his health seriosly. Be like Shani.Here is the #Lockdown version of #ServisShoesForEveryone jingle. A #MarketingPhirSay exclusive. Thank you Shani Arshad (Singer) and Haris Qadeer (Lyricist)

Posted by Marketing Phir Say on Wednesday, June 17, 2020

This is the perfect way of conveying the message across that the novel coronavirus is a deadly disease, and we must take precautions to avoid it. Arshad has cleverly told people to stay in quarantine and be smart.

The singer’s musical breakthrough arrived when he was 18 with a track he produced for Junaid Jamshed’s solo record, ‘Dil Ki Baat.’ Right after that, he tried his hand at television commercials, composing hundreds of jingles in a span of very little time.

Arshad has worked with several of the country’s top musical names like Sajjad Ali, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Raheem Shah, and Najam Sheraz, to name a few.

Furthermore, his film career includes the title song he composed for Priyadarshan’s Bollywood movie, ‘Khatta Meetha’; and locally for critically acclaimed ‘Main Hoon Shahid Afridi’ (2013), ‘Na Maloom Afraad’ (2014), ‘Bin Roye’ (2015) and the most recent work with the soundtrack of ‘Actor in Law’ (2016).
