How Many Moons Do We Have?

How many moons do we have? Only one, right? WRONG!! Well, for a brilliant, albeit short, period, Earth had two moons. On February 23, 2020, a minuscule asteroid was discovered caught in orbit around Earth.

This asteroid, discovered by Theodore Pruyne and Kacper Wierzchoś at the Mount Lemmon Observatory, was named 2020 CD3. This tiny little moon is about the size of a couch with a diameter of 6ft – 11ft. But alas, all good things must come to an end, and thus, the mini-moon is no longer with us. 2020 CD3 likely left our orbit on March 7.

“There’s no question it was still in orbit around the Earth in early February, and there’s no question now that it’s in orbit around the sun,” Bill Gray, an astronomy-software developer, stated.

What is it exactly, though? Initially, astronomers thought the new moon could be a chunk of space junk; a rocket part discarded after a successful launch. To say conclusively, astronomers needed to use powerful telescopes to study the sunlight reflected off of the object, which can reveal its composition from afar.

There’s at least a small chance that it could be a piece of our moon that broke off after an impact, one astronomer hypothesized. But the latest observations suggest that the object is probably an asteroid, one of the many floating around near Earth.

“It’s just a chance occurrence,” Kat Volk, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, stated. “They just have to come in at the right speed and the right angle. The vast majority of things that are whizzing by the Earth do not get even temporarily captured into orbit; they just keep whizzing by”.

So how did this happen? “Small objects like 2020 CD3 are often pulled in close to the Earth,” Pruyne explained. “This happens when the Earth intersects close enough to asteroids in orbit to the Sun. If the object is close enough to the Earth, Earth’s gravity will pull on the objects, changing the object’s orbit.

Often, this only slightly changes and orbit and sends it in another direction, or pulls it close by Earth without creating an impact on our planet,” he said. “Temporarily, Captured Objects are rare, and the reason is that it takes a very precise speed and direction to be pulled in by Earth’s gravitational pull, and to not impact or fly out in a new direction,” Pruyne added.

Moon

No matter how astounding this may sound, this isn’t Earth’s first mini-moon. Since the 19th century, scientists have done genuine searches for more moons. Still, the possibility has also been the subject of several dubious non-scientific speculations, as well as several likely hoaxes. The first-ever possible temporary satellite was spotted in 1913 during the first meteor procession.

Since then, there has been a flurry of discoveries, the most notable being in 2006. Other small natural objects in orbit around the Sun may enter the realm around Earth for a short amount of time, becoming temporary natural satellites. To date, the only confirmed examples have been 2006 RH120 in Earth orbit during 2006 and 2007 and 2020 CD3 in Earth orbit between 2018 and 2020.

It’s been more than five months since half of the world opted for quarantine due to the virus, and governments implemented strict lockdown.

People are striving to get rid of the lockdown blues by attempting various activities to keep them occupied, from reading to working out to painting and catching up on TV shows and movies.

Unlike some of us who are solely depended on diet coke and Pringles to survive during the lockdown – celebs across the globe are not leaving any stone unturned to keep their fans entertained and help lift their spirits.

So far, we’ve seen Ali Sethi, Bilal Maqsood, Aijazz Aslam, Sarwat Gillani, and a few more renowned names who’ve been active on social media and going to great lengths to exhibit productivity.

One such celeb who jumped on the bandwagon of interacting with her fans is the starlet Hania Amir. The bubbly actress with a girl-next-door look began a live cooking session for all her fans.

The actress made Dalgona Coffee Dessert, which looked delicious. Amir did not solely make the Olpers dessert but also invited singer Aima Baig to her session!

The two stunners shared the recipe and technicalities while comparing every step with each other while having a banter. Once Baig wrapped up her Dalgona Coffee Dessert, she sang befikiriyan, which was a treat for the ears.

Another brand besides Olper’s was Sunsilk, who collaborated with Hania Amir and initiated fun sessions on social media. Recently, the actress did an Eid episode on a Sunday with Sunsilk, where she was unaware of the steps on styling herself amidst COVID 19.

In the episode, the starlet decided to call her stylist Mavi Kayani to ask her for suggestions about what to wear. It was pointed out to Hania that she is still in her pajamas. Using Sunsilk’s Black Shine Shampoo, Hania freshened up and looked ready to talk to Mavi.

During the lockdown, it’s challenging to stay busy and do more than just procrastinating and taking trips to the refrigerator. It’s vital you go the extra mile to keep yourself actively engaged.

You can try working out, online courses, learn a new language, or even attempt cooking to put your skills to good use! We have enough despair in the world, let’s try to lift each other with some positivity – starting from our own home.

The Khan twins have garnered unbelievable recognition in a brief span. Moreover, the twins have become everyone’s favorite and are the most famous twins in the Pakistan entertainment industry.

Apart from their prolific acting skills and successful acting careers, Aiman and Minal have also launched their clothing brand. The brand is called AM Closet. However, it seems like the duo hasn’t been giving it much priority because of their acting.

Minal Khan and Manzoor Khan 

Speaking of which, when it comes to success stories and recognition, so begins a tad bit of gossips and controversies. Earlier, Minal Khan was officially dating Manzoor Khan. The two seemed quite in love as the lovebirds used to post their pictures on their social media openly.

However, what everyone had noticed was the sudden removal of their pictures together from Manzoor Khan’s Instagram account. Moreover, the two also decided to unfollow each other. Well, that’s when netizens started noticing what was going on.

Minal Khan and Ahsan Mohsin Ikram

There’s more. A page on Instagram claimed that Minal Khan is currently dating her co-star Ahsan Mohsin Ikram. The two, Minal Khan and Ahsan Mohsin Ikram, have worked together in drama serial Parchayee, which aired on Hum TV.

Here’s the picture the page had posted of the couple where they were seen holding hands

Despite receiving the threat, the page claimed that the picture is not fake as Ahsan himself shared it. To add more to this, the page also posted a photo of a woman standing on the beach, which reportedly looked like Minal Khan.

The picture had a caption that read, ‘All you need is love and the beach.’

Well, we’re yet to hear what Minal has to say about this.

iPhone 12’s Design Turns Out To Be a Disappointment

9th June 2020: The recent leaks by a Japenese blog, Macotakara, regarding the design of the latest iPhone 12, are rather disappointing.

The blog has acquired plastic dummy units for Apple’s latest release, which both confirm and dispute several of the rumors/leaks we’ve heard in the past.

iPhone 12
Image Source/creative blog

The front of the device looks similar to the iPhone 11. A rumor that was circulating on tech-related websites said that the notch’s size might as well be significantly reduced, but no changes seem to have been made as per the latest leaks.

iPhone 12

Image Source/creative blogA YouTuber earlier suggested that the high-end iPhone 12 Pro will include a LiDAR depth sensor for improved AR experiences to deliver better portrait mode accuracy. Still, it seems like that was a complete miss.

The dummies instead look familiar, very much like the iPhone 11 from front and back. iPhone fans have been anticipating the release since the beginning of the year, but it seems like it will be delayed given the ongoing pandemic.

One significant plus point this particular leak showcases in the lastest series tapping in a small phone. It will be great for people who like small phones with extraordinary power.

For now, you can enjoy the iPhone SE. Have something to add? Let us know in the comment section below.

For more news and updates, stay tuned to Brandsynario.

11th May 2020: The iPhone 12 has been in the pipeline for a while now. The phone is scheduled to release in September. This will be Apple’s most powerful iPhone considering 5G, which is being introduced in the iPhone for the very first time.

Speculations have been going on around about this device since the beginning of 2020.  Here are six things that you must know about the iPhone 12 that will be different this time around. The facts below come straight from YouTuber, Filip Koryo.

iPhone 12
Source: PhoneArena

Size  

The iPhone 11 was already a big phone, Considering apple’s pattern of bringing out bigger screens with every new release, this time things will be different.

There are going to be four variants of the phone size:

  • 5.4-inch iPhone 12 (codename – D52G) – OLED / 5G
  • 6.1-inch iPhone 12 (D53G) – OLED / 5G
  • 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro (D53P) – OLED / 5G
  • 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max (D52G) – OLED / 5G

Battery

The phone will come with a 4,400 mAh battery, which is greater than what the iPhone 11 Pro Max had, a 3,969 mAh battery. No more charging problems in the latest versions of the iPhone.

iPhone SE: Let Us Weigh Pros And Cons

Improved Cameras

The iPhone 12 line-up will get much-improved cameras thanks to bigger sensors, 3x optical zoom, and improved low light performance.

  • A new telephoto lens with 3x magnification and Night Mode support
  • A LiDAR sensor, delivering better Portrait Mode accuracy
  • Faster autofocus
  • Many low-light improvements, including better slow-motion video, upgraded subject detection, enhanced long-exposure imaging, and electronic stabilization

Price Point 

Apple is planning to introduce aggressive new pricing this time around. 2020 looks like a big year for the company to further distance itself from the competition.

  • 5.4-inch- Dual Cameras – $649
  • 6.1-inch – Dual Cameras – $749
  • 6.1-inch  – Triple Cameras + LiDAR – $999
  • 6.7-inch  – Triple Cameras + LiDAR – $1,099

You open your car with your iPhone 

Apple’s 2020 iPhone plans include the Car Connectivity Consortium. The specifications for digital car keys are published here. The CarKey is supported by the iOS 14, which will enable iPhone owners to open their cars with their phones.

Apple might go big on this with the launch of the iPhone 12 line-up in September.

Time of Flight Camera 

Rumor has it that the iPhone 12 is getting a Time of Flight (Tof) camera.

The rumors might as well be true as sources who spoke to Fast Company explained, “world-facing” 3D camera appearing on the iPhone 12 is real. The question is, what can you do with it?

The sensor is said to be made up of laser, and some software combined will mainly be able to measure the distance from itself to objects in front of it more accurately.

According to Fast Company, the 3D camera will have multiple benefits, such as better-looking portraits. “The addition of the depth camera data may create a better-looking bokeh effect by more accurately distinguishing between foreground and background layers.”

Apple

It is odd as to why Apple requires so much time to add this sensor to its camera system as it already existed in the front cameras for facial recognition in earlier iPhones.

Many rival phones have already used the ToF sensor. The iPhone 12, however, has been delayed due to the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus as manufacturing companies shut down in China.

Eating Breakfast Can Boost Activity Levels: New Health Study

By
AFP
-

A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that eating breakfast could help obese people improve their health by prompting them to become more active.

The study, carried out by researchers at the University of Bath, UK, looked at a possible link between breakfast, body weight, and health and builds on previous research as part of the three-year BBSRC-funded’ Bath Breakfast Project’.

In this new study, researchers from the University’s Department for Health split 23 participants aged 21- 60 into two groups, ‘breakfasting’ and ‘fasting’.

The researchers asked the breakfasting group to eat at least 700 calories by 11 am for six weeks. The group could choose whatever they wanted to eat, but the first half of the calories had to be consumed within two hours of the participant waking up.

The fasting group, however, could not consume anything except water until at least midday.

breakfast

The team found that during the day both groups consumed a similar amount of calories overall, with those who fasted compensating for the lack of morning calories by eating more later in the day, whereas the breakfasting group ate less; however, the team also found that the breakfasting groups participated in more physical activity in the mornings.

As increasing levels of physical activity is a crucial way to improve health, the team believe their results could be significant for increasing exercise levels in sedentary individuals.

Commenting on the findings, lead researcher Dr. James Betts said that despite the program’s studies showing the possible health effects of eating breakfast,” ‘how important’ breakfast is still really depends on the individual and their own personal goals. For example, if weight loss is the key there is little to suggest that just having breakfast or skipping it will matter. However, based on other markers of a healthy lifestyle, like being more active or controlling blood sugar levels, then there’s evidence that breakfast may help.”

Lead author on the study, Dr. Enhad Chowdhury, also cautioned that “It is important to bear in mind that not everybody responds in the same way to breakfast and that not all breakfasts are equal. The effects of a sugary cereal compared to a high protein breakfast are likely to be quite different.”

As the participants in this study were allowed to choose their breakfasts, the team now wants to research further the effects of different breakfasts, which they hope will provide them with more information to make recommendations about what types of breakfast could be best for health.

5 International Commercials That Are Pure Racist

Have you ever seen an advert that has left you scratching your head? Well, you’re not the only one.

Advertising can often be very hit or miss depending on the target audience and the marketing team in charge.

Sometimes, marketing departments can hit the nail on the head and deliver an incredible marketing campaign to impress their client and boost sales.

Other times, marketing departments can get it wholly incorrect and produce terrible adverts that cause a lot of debates, often occurring in a boycott and loss of sales.

In no particular order, here are the first controversial ads from the past decade, encompassing some controversial ads that worked!

1. Dolce&Gabbana

https://youtu.be/594Q9CJQbD4

Campaign for Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana showed a Chinese model struggling to eat spaghetti and pizza with chopsticks. The ad shows how mindless Chinese can be, which is why the brand faced backlash.

2. Intel 

Racist ads

Image of six muscular black runners bowing in front of a white man dressed in business attire under the headline “maximize the power of your employees” led to outrage over its parallels to plantations and slavery.

3. Pepsi 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4CCkUVXHBQ

PepsiCo introduced an ad starring model and TV personality Kendall Jenner offering a Pepsi to a police officer in the middle of a street protest, and people slammed it on social media as an exploitation of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Pepsi ditched the commercial two days later and regretted it. “Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace, and understanding,” the company said in a statement. “We missed the mark.”

4. Dove

Dove, the soap brand owned by Anglo-Dutch consumer-goods giant Unilever, sked forgiveness last year after posting a social-media advertisement that some viewers described as racist. The ad displayed a black woman removing her T-shirt to reveal a similarly clad white woman, which some viewers saw as a suggestion that being white was cleaner than being black.
Dove had formerly won praise for running commercials featuring ordinary-looking models of various ages, body shapes, and ethnic backgrounds.

5. Nivea

racists ads

The skin-care brand, owned by Germany’s Beiersdorf AG, pulled a Facebook ad in the Middle East previous year that comprised the text “white is purity,” across the back of a woman in a bathrobe.

The spot was aimed to promote the company’s unnoticed deodorant range but was widely shared on social media by racist groups. The firm apologized, saying the ad was “misleading.”

Samsung just revealed that there would be a new flagship phone: Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Websites such as Forbes and Universal News suggest this is the phone you must get your hands on in 2020.

The latest phone is ‘Galaxy Note 20 Ultra’ certified with Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The tech giant, Samsung confirmed the new model of Galaxy smartphones earlier with its aesthetic looks to shock the industry in 2021.

What is SIG?

Bluetooth Special Interest Group is a standard company to keep track of the latest development of licensing and Bluetooth standards.

Pricing 

The price tag of note S20 is rather economical than the S20 ultra. A smart buy this year considering the pandemic. It is as if Samsung has followed the footsteps of Apple by launching iPhone SE, given that purchasing power is declining.

Rumour has it that a Samsung Electronics staff member cited that the company plans to launch the Galaxy Note 20 series by August 5th.

As per the tradition, the company will refresh its Galaxy note line up this August too.

It is easy to get scared, and it’s natural when driving in Pakistan. You never know when a child may run in front of your car or when other vehicles come out of nowhere. But, keeping calm and having control over your fear will take you miles further. Remember, practice makes perfect.

3. Stay Away From Distractions

Trust us, getting distracted while driving is relatively easy and frequent, and even fatal. This is why it is essential to eliminate as many distractions as possible.

If women drivers wish, they can roll up the windows and put on soft music to keep focus. They can listen to the radio, or pop-in a Bluetooth in their ear. However, if music distracts you, stay away from this tip. Don’t look at flashy sale signs and boards.

4. Always Expect the Unexpected

No matter how experienced you are, be it women drivers or men, you must always expect the unexpected. You will never know what is waiting for you around the turn.

Your tire maypop, the engine may bust, the brake may fail. This is why it’s essential to be prepared for your best ability. Keep a spare in the trunk, along with a small box of tools. Keep handy numbers on speed dial, so you don’t panic.

5. Take Your Time

We all have places to be and people to meet. Understandably, essential meetings and affairs have to be reached on time. But, that doesn’t permit you to blow past cars when the signal is yellow.

Being patient for just 60 seconds can save you from severe injuries and massive expenses, not to mention fatality.

Women drivers don’t need to worry; studies have proved in the past that women are better drivers than men!

Women are Better Drivers than Men

As much as this is a debatable topic, contrary to the sexist stereotype, it seems women are better drivers than men, according to a new study. According to a study in the UK conducted by insurance site confused.com, it revealed that 585,000 people convicted of breaking the law on roads in England and Wales in 2018. Out of which, 79% of them were men.

It also revealed that women commit fewer driving offenses and are more likely to obey the laws, including getting into fewer car accidents. It concluded that men outnumbered women by almost 4:1! It turned out that only 21% of women broke the law while driving compared to 79% of men. The most common offenses made by men were for speeding, which was 24%, and driving without insurance 17%.

That’s not all. Almost one in four (23%) male motorists admit that they choose not to indicate when switching lanes, compared to more than one in six (17%) women. Also, men are more likely to tailgate another driver!

Being a celebrity is no easy job. There are times when the stars are attacked for no apparent reason. Every personality has a different way of coping with these trolls, from staying quiet and not saying a word to lashing out and not showing any mercy when things go out of hand.

However, when it comes to constant backlash and trauma, the famous Pakistani model Nadia Hussain is the first celebrity that pops up in our minds. Nadia has always been targeted for her looks and being vocal about many issues. Moreover, there have been many instances where she has taken matters into her own hands and eloquently called out her trolls.

Nadia Hussain has recently started calling out her trolls, and in all honesty, no celebrity has ever responded to their trolls as Nadia has. She knows how to handle the situation and let the trolls know who the boss is. For her, there’s no chickening out but to face the trolls like a warrior.

Another video response video to trolls

In her recent live show on Instagram, Nadia said that she felt the need to raise her voice once again. She noted that it was necessary to address all those who have negative thoughts ingrained in their minds.

She added that she would not tolerate such rude behavior, take abuses, and filth from the trolls on her page, anymore. While addressing and calling out her trolls, Nadia was extremely appalled.

She added that people are most welcome to scroll past her posts if they dislike her, her house, and her video instead of stopping by and spewing hate on her page. She also said that her fans who support her always advise her to ignore the trolls and their comments, but she can’t anymore.

Furthermore, she also said that despite receiving all the abuses, she’s the one who has continuously been blamed for using foul language. She also raised a serious issue about transgender and how people should stop using it as abuse because they’re humans.

Check out Nadia Hussain’s video!

Social media users need to understand how difficult it is for celebrities to come in front of the camera and all the effort it takes. Moreover, they should follow the consequences of cyber-bullying and how it makes the other person feel. It’s time we educate ourselves to be kinder where the world is trying to survive a fatal outbreak.

6 Popular Movies That Will Educate You On Racism

Movies about racism

Have you ever experienced racism? Ever been told to return to where you came from? Racism is one of the most challenging topics to discuss in a society or culture, in part because of how sensitive and defensive people can get by nature.

The killing of George Floyd in the US is just another act of racism in which a white cop uses his power to bully a black man and ends up killing him for a petty crime the “suspect” might not even have committed.

The incident has caused protests that have turned violent in many places. Those protests have made it over the global coronavirus pandemic as the biggest story in the last few days. A deep understanding of racism and racial violence is thus needed.

One of the easiest ways to convey a message regarding racism is via entertainment. So, we decided to compile a list of movies that will educate you on racism.

6 Famous Movies That Will Educate You On Racism

However, let’s not kid ourselves; movies are not going to change how race is understood or experienced around the world by themselves. Although, if you watch a movie, you know that the right film in the right environment has the capability of completely changing your worldview, whether it’s about race or gender or sexuality or anything else.

So, let’s cut to the chase and have a look at some of the movies on racism:

1. Get Out 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzfpyUB60YY

This is a genre film and yet has an incredibly nuanced understanding as to why racism has endured for so long and indeed thrived. It is the complicity of the white liberals who are no less racist than their more outspoken counterparts. More than a horror film, this Jordan Peele directional can be better characterized as an unsettling film.

2. Malcolm X

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx4sEvhYeVE

Whether or not you agree with Malcolm X’s methods, it is vital to study the man who was one of the frontrunners of the US Civil Rights Movement. It is generally understood that while Martin Luther King was inspired by Gandhi and believed social development was possible through non-violent means, Malcolm X was not averse to pick up arms. Denzel Washington was mesmerizing in the lead role.

3. The Big Sick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcD0Daqc3Yw

The Big Sick is another movie that isn’t precisely about race but family and the South Asian immigrant experience in a post-9/11 world. The film does a great job of exposing the kind of micro-aggressions and racial stereotyping that are easily dismissed as benign.

4. 12 Years a Slave 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z02Ie8wKKRg

12 Years a Slave is Steve McQueen’s heart-wrenching adaptation of a memoir of a black slave Solomon Northup. Chiwetel Ejiofor essayed the lead role in the movie, which also starred Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong’ o, Sarah Paulson, Brad Pitt, and Alfre Woodard. The film was a brutal depiction of slavery and isn’t for the weak-hearted.

5. Help 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT9eWGjLv6s

A movie penned and directed by a white man, based on a book by a white woman, about a white woman’s quest to document the plight of Africa American maids. The movie is worth watching since it rakes you on a journey of what racism can genuinely feel like and how the elite and liberals have been extreme.

Help seems to have risen above those recommended titles for many Netflix subscribers. At the time of writing, Netflix listed The Help as the most popular film on the service and the fifth most popular offering on the site overall.

6. The Namesake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyNwzAGkLAg

The Namesake, based on the book by Jhumpa Lahiri, is another story about what it is to be the child of immigrants. Still, more importantly, it’s about how that experience affects one’s racial identity.

Amrelli Steels’ Laudable TVC Is Everything You Need To See Today!

Amrelli Steels Aap Ki Tarah Solid

It is not often that we come across an advertisement that can break-through the clutter of the cliche wedding-themed TVC’s that are we are generally accustomed to. The latest campaign by Amrelli Steels is making waves across social media. Titled, “Aap Ki Tarah Solid,” the campaign’s engaging storyline shows viewers the importance of standing up for what is right.

Source: Amrelli Steels, Facebook

What is the ‘Aap ki Tarah Solid’ TVC about?

“Aap Ki Tarah Solid” highlights the story of a father played by the legendary Shabbir Jan and his daughter portrayed by (Hajra Yamin). In a country such as Pakistan, where the majority of the girls are discouraged from pursuing further studies, the TVC shows the viewers how a father does not pay heed to what people have to say and sends his daughter abroad for her education against all the odds. From the family’s elders being upset over it to the societal pressure, he bears it all. We believe Shabbir Jan deserves the ‘super-dad’ title for this short yet emotional story.

Amrelli Steels’ latest campaign revolves around the question:

“Kya aap ‘Achay’ aor ‘Sahi’ mai fark jaantay hain?”

The audience can see how Shabbir Jan does not differentiate between his children, how he boldly stands up for what is right at work instead of blindly doing what everyone else follows. He is not afraid to voice his opinion even though he may be the only one addressing it. We see him not agreeing to what his peers are doing at work; neither is he willing to use his friendship to secure a job for his son. These incidents promote a ‘no-corruption’ mantra and honesty.

Watch Amrelli Steels’ Latest Campaign Here!

 

The beautiful ad has been produced by ‘iDcreations Pvt Ltd’ and has been shot under director, Zaheerudin, while the agency behind it is ‘Aray Wah.’ Actors Shabbir Jan and Hajra Yamin have stolen the show with their brilliant acting, which will have you hooked to the ad till the end.

We hope to see more of the national brands championing for the rights of women in Pakistan. It is essential to educate the masses through such eye-opening, and a vast audience sees thought-provoking ads as these through various broadcasting mediums. Where everyone else is busy following the on-going trend, the TVC shows us that it takes real strength of character and a strong personality to choose to do the right thing.

What do people think of Amrelli Steels’ latest TVC?

The TVC was released on 5th June and had one 26,000 reactions on the Amrelli Steels Facebook page, while it has already been shared 11,000 times over the social media network with over 1,300 comments. People are all praises for the beautiful concept and well-executed storyline.

Here’s what they have to say:

In her previous vlog, Saba decided to reveal her unfiltered self in front of the camera. That day, Saba decided to break the barrier between her and her fans and revealed quite some eye-opening details about her personal life. It was indeed, shocking!

She shared details about her failed relationship and how she got over it. She further added that it lasted eight long years. The one thing that her fans love is how she likes to tackle her problems positively. Keeping her humor intact, she made sure her fans enjoy her heartbreaking story. No wonder she’s a queen!

In this short teaser of ‘Chaska News with Saba Qamar and Shahveer Jafry,’ Saba Qamar has left her fans in a sheer state of curiosity. She will be revealing something exciting! However, we loved the disclaimer on her post.

The disclaimer read:

“Kamzoor dil afraad iss video se door rahain, aur sasti ratings k liyay muhallay ki phuphi ka kirdaar adaa kernay se guraiz kerain, spread love, Like, Subscribe and Share.”

Well, Saba, you’re doing a fantastic job, and we wish you continue doing so!

NCOC Launches Pak Nigehbaan App For COVID-19 Patients

Pak Nigehbaan App

On Friday, leading news channels in the country reported that a new mobile app called Pak Nigehbaan had been launched. The application is developed by the National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) for COVID-19 patients.

Considering the increase of COVID-19 patients in the country (100,000 + cases, Source: Dawn), the app was developed to locate ventilators in hospitals. The app will prove to be immensely helpful in saving lives in situations of emergency.

In the last one week, federal govt has distributed 250 ventilators. Of these, 72 were given to Punjab, 52 each to Sindh and KP, and 20 to Balochistan. The balance was given to AJK, GB, and Islamabad.

An official statement said that this particular application is available on mobile app stores and can be downloaded without any hassle. Also, it is available on Google Drive and Covid.gov.pk, which makes it accessible to all.

The statement also mentions that several 1,110 hospitals around the country will be associated with the app, so it is easier to locate an available facility nearby.

The purpose of the app is to inform citizens, healthcare workers, emergency responders about the availability of beds and ventilators near them.

A resource management system has also been placed in order by the NCOC. The system will update inventory available at 15,459 hospitals across the country.

We have decided in the NCOC meeting this morning that the federal government will ensure an increase of 1000 beds with oxygen supply capability in the major cities of the country within the month of June, tweeted Asad Umer.

The resource management system will assist all the provinces in assessing facilities being provided at the hospitals under their domain. The numbers will reflect any shortcomings that we can face in regards to the medical facilities.

As of now, 2000 + deaths have been reported due to novel coronavirus in Pakistan.
An updated version of the app will show the availability of beds/vents & capacity/usage in real-time at various health centers across Pakistan.


Technology has been doing wonders in fighting this fight against the deadly virus. The entire world has been using it to combat the ongoing pandemic. Pakistan seems to be moving in the right direction with the Pak Nigehbaan app.

June 8, 2020: Whatsapp will soon roll out a feature that will allow users to use the same account on multiple devices. The team behind the scenes has been working on the latest feature for a while now.

The company has been pushing beta releases over the past few months now that hints toward the launch of the feature shortly.

According to WABetaInfo, the Android Beta release of the app, version 2.20.152, shows a new development on the multi-device feature demonstrating a “Linked Devices” screen on the app.

The information on the beta versions states, “Use WhatsApp on other devices. Send or receive messages from your browser computer or Facebook portal.” – very similar to iMessage.


The beta version of the app is usually subject to change as they are “test runs”.

For more news and updates, stay tuned to Brandsynario.

May 13, 2020: WhatsApp users will soon be able to call as many as 50 people on video. Towards the end of April, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms, a platform where you can connect up to 50 individuals at a time.

WhatsApp users will be able to access the Messenger Rooms via shortcuts. This news was shared by one of the most reliable tech sources, wabetainfo.com.

According to them, the Whatsapp development team is working on a Messenger Rooms shortcut for WhatsApp web, and it’s currently in beta mode.

Moreover, users will be able to see the shortcut icon at the “Attach” button alongside the photos and videos, camera, documents, and contact options.

When the user clicks on the shortcut, they will see the Messenger Rooms introduction message and will redirect the user to the application.

At this time, there is no official announcement that can tell us when we should expect this alternative to Zoom and Google Meet.

Zoom had been the in-vogue video app for some time now, but since then, Google Meet is free for everyone this summer, you should move your chats over to Meet instead.

While Google Meet was built for enterprise as a way to host weekly staff meetings and host company-wide briefings, it has several advantages for the everyday chat with your parents or that weekly coffee gossip your mom has with her friends.

Initially, on November 14, 2016, Whatsapp had introduced its video calling feature for users across Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone devices.

Earlier, WhatsApp also introduced more features like ‘Dark Mode’ and ‘Delete Messages’ in 2017.

What is more interesting is that when a user uses the ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature, a message can still be seen reading that something was deleted. However, with ‘Delete Messages’ it will be different, even after deletion, there will be no message as if it had never existed.

Here’s How WhatsApp’s ‘Delete Message’ Feature Works!

From time to time, we have seen WhatsApp get inspiration from Snapchat and vice-versa. We now wonder what the messaging platform plans on adding next after the 50-people call feature is officially announced.

Do you have any guesses? Share them with us in the comments below.

We all have heard heart-warming stories of how individuals and couples have decided to accept Islam because of its simplicity and beauty.

This time around, a Mexican couple accepted their new religion because of the viral and top-rated Turkish drama series,  Dirilis: Ertugrul.

The couple decided that Islam was the religion for them after they met Abdur Rahman Alp, aka Celal Al from Dirilis:  Ertugrul in 2019.

Alp met the couple during the 22nd annual meeting of the Muslim American Society. Towards the end of the event,  the couple converted by reciting the Islamic proclamation of faith with the help of the famous actor.

The couple said, “we were affected by Turkish TV series (Dirilis: Ertuğrul) Resurrection: Ertuğrul and Turkey’s humanitarian activities around the world, and then decided to become Muslim.”

Another soul-touching story about conversion to Islam is of Rosie Gabrielle. She was fighting depression, among many other health problems.

The influencer then soon announced that she had embraced the religion of Islam on her social media.

When questioned about how she made the big decision, she shared that it was because of her trip to Pakistan!

She added that she paid accolades to Pakistan and its people, who helped her get rid of the pain she has been going through for years and fulfill her desire to be free.

Why Did Rosie Gabrielle  Choose Islam?

She wrote an Instagram post with the following message:

“What lead me to this Big decision?

As I mentioned previously, this last year was one of the hardest in my life, and all life’s challenges have led me to this point here and now.

From a young child, I’ve always had a unique connection with the creation and a special relationship with God.

My path was far from easy, and I carried a lot of anger in my heart from a lifetime of pain, always begging God, why me?

Until ultimately coming to the conclusion that all is meant to be, and even my suffering is a gift.

Never resonating with what I was brought up with, I denounced my religion four years ago, going down a dark path of spiritual discovery.

Exploration of self, and the great Divine. I never let go of the sight of the Creator; in fact, my curiosity and connection only grew stronger.

Now no longer dictated by fear, I was able to explore this righteous path fully.

As time passed, the more I experienced, the more I witnessed the true nature and calling for my life. I wanted to be free. Free of the pain and shackles, that was hell.

Liberation from the anger, hurt, and misalignment. I wanted Peace in my heart, forgiveness, and the most profound connection with all. And thus started my journey.

The universe brought me to Pakistan, not only to challenge myself to let go of the last remaining traces of pain and ego but also to show me the way.

Through kindness and humbled grace of the people I met along my pilgrimage, it inspired my heart to seek further.

Living in a Muslim country for 10 + years and traveling extensively through these regions, I observed one thing; Peace.

A kind of peace that one can only dream of having in their hearts.

Unfortunately, Islam is one of the most misinterpreted and criticized religions worldwide. And like all religions, there are many interpretations.

But, the core of it, the true meaning of Islam, is PEACE, LOVE & ONENESS. It’s not a religion, but a way of life—the life of humanity, humility, and Love.

For me, I was already technically a ‘Muslim.’ My Shahada was a re-dedication of my life to the path of Oneness, connection, and Peace through the devotion of God.”
