Beverage brand Coca-Cola and Carlsberg are set to introduce plant-based bottles shortly. These will degrade in a year when left under natural conditions to decompose. L’oreal and Danone are also thinking about making the much-awaited switch to the plant-based bottles.

Dutch company Avantium, BillerudKorsnäs, and bottle manufacturer Alpla are collaborating on “The Paper Bottle Project.” It is aimed to develop a plastic bottle made from plant sugars rather than fossil fuels. This project is now backed by beverage giants, Coca-cola, Carlsberg, and others.

What is the Paper Bottle Project?

Avantium is providing a much-needed alternative to the plastic bottles that are polluting our world. It is reducing the market’s reliance on fossil fuels by developing an entirely plant-based plastic. This new plastic-like material is made from corn, wheat, and beet sugars. It will be sturdy enough to hold drinks and ensure that the contents remain cold.

Carlsberg paper bottle prototype


The plastic – known as ‘PEF’ – could be used to line the cardboard bottle from the inside, to make them both functional and biodegradable. This PEF reportedly has better thermal barrier properties than standard PEF.

This plant-based plastic polymer is 100 percent recyclable. If left in a composter, it will rot within a year, and in a few years if simply left outside. Whereas the standard plastic bottled can take 100’s of years to decompose.

Avantium’s Chief Executive, Tom Van Aken says,

“This plastic has very attractive sustainability credentials because it uses no fossil fuels and can be recycled – but would also degrade in nature much faster than normal plastics do.”

The companies hope to produce new plastic by 2023. In a press release, Carlsberg explained:

“We are working on developing the world’s first ‘paper’ beer bottle made from sustainably-sourced wood fibers that are both 100% bio-based and fully recyclable. We now have two new research prototypes of the Green Fiber beer Bottle, which are the first ‘paper bottles’ that are able to contain beer.”

On Tuesday, the adviser to Prime Minister on Finance and Revenues, Dr. Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, announced that the government would not impose a new tax in the upcoming budget for the fiscal year 2020-21.

The decision was made to facilitate the industry and help check the contraction of the economy. “No new tax would be introduced in the upcoming budget, and we will not take any tax measure that overburdens our industry,” Shaikh said while talking to a private news channel.

Negative Impact of Coronavirus 

The coronavirus has affected our national economy like other countries. Pakistan will be taking measures to reduce its expenditures by adopting austerity measures. He emphasized that the government will have to work hard in the coming days to reduce the budget deficit to 9%.

The PTI government had inherited $20 billion in the budget deficit, which had been reduced to $3 billion by adopting policies.

He said the primary objective of the government was to provide relief to the people in the next budget. Due to the efforts of the State Bank of Pakistan, reserves have increased to 12 billion dollars. Unfortunately, foreign remittances decreased by 6% due to the deadly virus.

Oil Prices

He said that the government would decide between cutting oil prices in the next two to four weeks as the ECC will take up the decision in the context of analyzing its price and attached cost of insurance to get a lifetime opportunity to get benefits out of it.

He said the government would try its best to maintain petroleum prices at the current level. Islamabad is expecting good news on account of a $1.8 billion deferred payment facility from G20 countries.

Generate Employment 

The government’s focus right now is to increase economic activities and generate employment opportunities in the country in specific sectors. He said the government would announce a package in the upcoming budget.

Illegal Cigarette Trade

Dr. Hafeez Shaikh said that the prime minister had issued instructions to take strict action against the illegal cigarette trade.

The withholding tax was brought down to Rs. 10 per kg on tobacco production. He said that efforts would be made to bring the informal sector into the tax net.

Ehsaas Program

Under the Ehsaas Program, the government is giving economic aid to the people through the physical stimulus package, with Rs. 12,000 per person.

Payments For Ehsaas Emergency Cash Program Have Begun Rolling

Thai Govt Approves Thai Airways Bankruptcy Plans

Thailand Cabinet has approved a plan to restructure troubled Thai Airways International finances through a bankruptcy court. The Southeast Asian country’s prime minister revealed this news on Tuesday, May 19th.

The notion for the airline industry‘s court-led reorganization replaced an 
an earlier proposal for a government-funded rescue package sharply criticized in the country.

Impact of Government Directives on Airlines

The state-controlled airline’s issues are the latest example of how the coronavirus pandemic is crippling the global airline industry and how the virus is leading the economy into a depression.

Colombia’s Avianca Holdings and Virgin Australia Holdings have filed for bankruptcy protection since the pandemic broke out.

Airlines around the world have grounded the bulk of their capacity due to government directives and border restrictions.

Thai Airways, however, had been in trouble well before the coronavirus outbreak because of fierce competition from budget airlines and high prices.

“The government has reviewed all dimensions. We have decided to petition for restructuring and not let Thai Airways go bankrupt. The airline will continue to operate,” Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told reporters at a news briefing. “The courts will protect Thai Airways, and a professional will be appointed to oversee the restructuring,” Mr. Prayut said, adding the airline’s workers will continue to have jobs.

The Central Bankruptcy Court

Thai Airways even said the central federal court would enforce the project, and the operation will continue as usual.

“Thai Airways will not be dissolved or go into liquidation or be declared bankrupt,” Thai Airways acting president Chakkrit Parapuntakul said in a statement.

Operations, including passenger and cargo transportation, will continue in parallel with the plan, he said. Thai Airways shares surged 11.7 percent on Tuesday, but are still down by about a third this year.

The global airline industry is facing a severe financial crisis due to coronavirus travel restrictions with a growing list of casualties.

No flights before June 30th

Thai Airways has up to 80 planes and has 22,000 employees.

The International Air Transport Association has said that air travel will not return to normal until 2023, putting more pressure on airlines worldwide.

Avianca, the state held national flag carrier in Colombia, filed for bankruptcy in the US earlier this month for Chapter 11. At the same time, Virgin Australia, Australia’s second-biggest airline, entered regulation in April after refusing to obtain a federal bailout.

How many of you are hooked to Money Heist or the cast in it? Well, recently, we learned that Alba Flores has more talents than just being a boss on TV. Nairobi from Netflix’s popular show ‘Money Heist’ goes synonymous with the concept of matriarchy in recent times.

She is a character who is adored by countless people. Alba won so many hearts when she appeared in Money Heist with her top-notch acting skills and also left many hearts shattered with her death, followed by the epic funeral scene.

However, we stumbled upon a clip featuring Alba, who is speaking fluent Telugu, and the social media is singing her praises. The video is from a 2013 Spanish TV movie titled ‘Vicente Ferrer.’

The plot of the movie revolves around a man who is determined to restore the dignity of the Dalits in Anantapur – a city in Andhra Pradesh, India.

The movie narrates his life after returning to India in 1969. The plot also unfolds how Ferrer is exiled from Spain after being deemed as a threat to influential leaders and their interests.

In the clip, Alba speaks the native language of Andhra Pradesh, which is Telugu and is wearing a bindi, jhumka, and a saari.

Check this out!

https://youtu.be/dVjWlegKbTQ

It’s incredible how one can ace the roles which are poles apart from each other and startle the audience.

Money Heist revolves around eight thieves and a criminal mastermind who manipulates the police to carry out his plan. The show is Netflix’s most-watched non-English language series since it is original; it is only available on the Streaming platform. Fans are looking forward to the release of its fifth season, which has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The actress also gave a speech in which she said,

“For some people in the team, with some people of the team, it’s been many years. I want to thank you all for everything you’ve taught me. I’ve grown here as an actress, more than I ever imagined I would and as a person. You’re a f**king amazing team. F**king amazing. I hope to film with you 16,000 times more. I will miss you.”

Her ability to transform into an avatar is worth applauding. 

Let us know if you have seen Vicente Ferrer and if you enjoyed it because we’re certainly watching it very soon.

As the latest device to join the nova line-up, the HUAWEI nova 7i is a “flagship lite” handset targeting a younger generation of consumers. The latest nova device brings a number of improvements over its predecessor, including a new design, a more powerful chipset, sophisticated cameras, robust AI capabilities and a new version of EMUI.

Equipped with a 6.4-inch Punch FullView Display, the HUAWEI nova 7i delivers an outstanding entertainment experience with vibrant colours. Watching video is made more immersive with the slim bezels that result in the incredible 90.6% screen-to-body ratio,  delivering a near- borderless experience. The powerful 48MP quad-camera at the back produces true-to-life images that can easily be mistaken as photos captured on a dedicated camera, while the 16MP front camera hidden underneath the front display lets you capture yourself at your best.

Moreover, the Kirin 810 chipset embedded in the HUAWEI nova 7i drives powerful performance across all daily tasks, and the 4200mAh large battery coupled with 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge support offers a long-lasting battery life.

If you have any questions regarding your review sample, or have any questions, comments or concerns as you review, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your local Huawei PR representative.

Style in abundance

The quad camera

The 2×2 matrix is more than meets the eye. Fitting four cameras, each having a different lens and sensor, into a compact form factor requires not just design expertise, but also engineering muscle – both of which are on full display here on the HUAWEI nova 7i.

The camera matrix is encircled by a  thin metal frame, accenting the bold design while providing reinforcement for improved durability.

Dreamy Hues

The HUAWEI nova 7i is available in three dreamy colourways: Sakura Pink, a blue- pink gradient finish that evokes warmth and companionship; Crush Green, a nature-inspired shade reminiscent of lush green forests; and the classic Black, which exudes subtle elegance.

The gradient colours on the HUAWEI nova 7i are a result of a special manufacturing process, which underlays the back of the device with a special film that produces a unique glare effect while improving scratch resistance.

Punch FullView Display

The HUAWEI Punch FullView Display is the window to an immersive entertainment experience. Measuring 6.4-inch diagonally, the cutting-edge

display has an impressive 90.6% screen- to-body ratio to deliver a near-borderless view.

The HUAWEI nova 7i supports a Full HD+ resolution (2310 x 1080) and a wide colour gamut to render details in crisp quality and vibrant colours. Being a Punch FullView Display also means there are no notches to disrupt the view.

Instead, it has an unobtrusive opening at the corner for the camera, allowing you to get the most out of the display at no compromise to device functionality.

Robust Performance

4200mAh Battery & 40W Huawei Supercharge

The HUAWEI nova 7i packs a large 4200mAh battery (typical value) to offer a long battery life. With 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge support, it can be charged to 70% in just 30 minutes. Additionally, the safety of the fast charging technology is certified by TÜV Rheinland, so you can charge with the peace of mind.

Fingerprint Power Button

The HUAWEI nova 7i features a side- mounted fingerprint power button that unlocks faster and at a higher success rate. Being at the side means users can unlock the device quickly and easily, even with one hand.

Seven-Word Lessons Is Educating Children Through Billboards

The pandemic has caused countries to go into lockdowns; people have remained indoors for more than two months. It has become difficult for parents to manage home-schooling their children and work from home at the same time. To make things a tad bit easier, marketing agency, Work in Progress, is bringing education to the streets.

WIP’s ‘Seven-Word Lessons’ are aimed at providing children with teachings on different subjects on billboards around the country.

Source: Seven lessons, twitter

WIP has done this to engage grade-school children in a fun new way. Children can experience a completely different form of virtual learning. A new lesson will appear every day at noon on digital billboards in various cities such as Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, and Washington D.C.

These billboards are located in areas that have the most housing societies to reach the most children. However, those who do not live in the vicinity of the advertisements can access these lessons online on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Source: Sevenlessons.com

Teachers from all over the country can submit their lessons on www.sevenlessons.com. Some of the first lessons that have been broadcasted are, “Square is just a rectangular rhombus” and “Greenland sharks live for 400 years.”

WIP Co-Founder Matt Talbot mentions that the idea came from their very own experiences. The employees and partners have experienced difficulties in home-schooling their children, and that is what has inspired this latest innovation.

Talbot further mentions,

“The struggle is not just to teach them, but keep them entertained and engaged. Teachers had to adapt to not having their classrooms overnight, and parents had to become teachers overnight. Everyone is also trying to create some new routine that school used to provide, and so we really liked the idea of putting these lessons up at the same time every day to help provide that in some small way.”

 

View this post on Instagram

 

With classrooms closed, we’re bringing education to the streets. Seven words at a time. Teachers, send us your #SevenWordLessons!

A post shared by Seven-Word Lessons (@sevenwordlessons) on


The campaign will run over 400 lessons, sourced from school teachers who are given credits for the lessons they send in. WIP mentions that the submitted readings will be compensated $25 for every experience that gets published on the digital billboards. They have a choice of donating this money to DonorsChoose, which is a non-profit educational organization that helps classrooms in need.

Reportedly, the petition was submitted by a citizen named Faizan Maqsood against the online game.

The Petitioner claimed that the online game has a negative impact on children. Justice Atir Mahmood headed a division bench of the LHC and heard it and ordered PTA to take action during the next six weeks.

The petition reads that PUBG has brought a negative impact on the personality of children as it is a source of increasing violent tendencies among them. Moreover, it has left a negative impact on the decision-making ability of children.

PUBG Karachi Case

In April, it was found that a teenage boy from Karachi’s Bihar Colony found himself with severe mental health issues after playing PUBG.

The use of internet has increased over the past few months. Children have been home as schools are shut down. Online classes have been taking place, and since outdoor activities are restricted, video games have become a haven for teenage boys.

“Gaming disorder is characterized by a pattern of persistent and recurring gaming behavior where a player begins to give priority to gaming over other daily activities. While gaming disorder affects a small proportion of the people who play video games, anyone who spends excessive time gaming is vulnerable to this condition,” says director of mental health and behavioral sciences, Fortis Healthcare, Dr. Samir Parikh.

World Health Organization (WHO) officially categorized gaming disorder as a disease in the International Classification of Diseases in the previous year. The disorder is similar to gambling disorder.

What is PUBG? 

pubg

Released in 2016, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multiplayer battle royale game. The player can play solo or in groups of up to 4 people. The objective is to eliminate the other players on the map before getting killed yourself.

Moreover, players can use the help of items given in the game to reach the objective. They can loot dead players and abandoned homes as well. PUBG has introduced more features, including zombies, since its launch.

List of Countries That Have Banned PUBG 

Earlier, the game had also banned in Jordon after Jordan’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority warned that it had had adverse effects on its players.

It is also banned in Aceh, an Indonesian province, the Indian state of Gujarat, Iraq, Nepal, and China.

Nostalgia Is Now available On Shelves – Doodh Rooh Afza

Rooh Afza, a nostalgia-tinged red syrup with the fragrance of rose, golden crown, and a long history and an unchanged taste, is a favorite drink of every Pakistani for every season across the globe. The refreshing aroma and bright rose flavor echo in our mind along with the clinking of jug being prepared for Iftaar from the transparent bottle with thick red syrup and fruity label. Be it a widespread Ramadhan dastarkhawan or a simple menu of Iftaar, Rooh Afza has always been a refreshing choice for a vast audience, be it children or elders across the borders.

Crossing borders and seas, Rooh Afza, has not only made its presence on the shelves across the world but has been talk of the town by being the first brand to reach Times Square, New York on Pakistan Resolution Day in 2018. The journey of going global didn’t stop at New York as it showcased the brand along with Pakistan’s flag on screens at Eton Center, Canada, and London underground stations on Independence Day, the same year.

Being a revitalizing and energizing drink that connects the hearts of millions in Pakistan and 35 other countries, Rooh Afza uplifts your soul and calms your mind with its all-natural ingredients that keep you energetic, yet at peace. The drink of East staying true to its essence spread the message of peace and love during the holy month of Ramazan to families living in New Zealand by painting the towns red and lighting up Christchurch and Auckland with affectionate and warm wishes.

Rooh Afza, though a century-old brand, has always taken its chances of experimenting one way or the other. Be it the new label design, evolution in advertising, or the introduction of new by-products. Rooh Afza has stood true to its name with a refreshing, revitalizing, and all new products to captivate the generation of today! Understanding the need of matching up with fast-paced life of today’s youth and making to the headlines, Rooh Afza launched its carbonated Rooh Afza Go drink last year in Ramadhan, 2019 up in the sky with the national carrier of Pakistan, PIA, serving the drink to the passengers to break their fasts.

This year, yet again, Rooh Afza has challenged its roots and brought the century-old tradition of mixing the red syrup with milk in the form of a ready to drink Doodh Rooh Afza, making its way to shelves in all-new style. Doodh Rooh Afza, in its vibrant, red, and happening packaging, is an answer to the scorching summer heat of Ramadhan, where one needs to be refreshed and energized with the first sip. It’s ready to consume a drink with Rooh Afza syrup mixed with milk that has been consumed in every household for decades in Pakistan as well as globally.

Doodh Rooh Afza, with its eye-catching packaging, is an instant ready-to-consume drink that is perfect for everyone who seeks instant burst of flavors on the go. Launched during the month of Ramadhan amidst the heatwave, Doodh Rooh Afza surely is going to grab the attention of many. Launched only recently, the all tempting new Dooh Rooh Afza is available in all the major retail shops of Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar and with its due time and acceptance of the consumers, would be available for the consumers across the county to be enjoyed wherever, whenever.

In a market that is already clouded with a wide variety of flavored milk and ready-to-consume drinks, Doodh Rooh Afza is one of its kind, having nostalgia, tradition, and the brand name of Hamdard associated to the product, it will surely stand out. Moreover, this new launch can accelerate the brand sale and recognition among the new generation- the generation which has had Rooh Afza with milk as a taste enhancer in their childhood, a chilled refreshing drink in Iftaar or plain Rooh Afza with water and lime on hot summer days, there is no stopping back.

With Rooh Afza Go launched last year and now Doodh Rooh Afza in the market, we can only wait to witness an excellent turning point for Rooh Afza with its all-new products and many more we can hope to see in future.

On Monday, the New York Times reported that Walt Disney’s Kevin Mayer had exited the company. The reason behind his resignation was the offer made by TikTok App for the CEO position.

While speaking to Disney over the phone, Mayer explained, “I was happy with my job at Disney, The magnitude of this opportunity was just something I couldn’t pass up.”

From the conversation, we know that we might not see Mayer post videos of himself on TikTok. However, there is an expansion cited in gaming and music.

A Republican from Missouri, Josh Hawley tweeted, .@tiktok_us previously told me they couldn’t attend hearings and testify because executives were located in #China. But this new executive lives in the USA. I look forward to hearing from him under oath.

The US government has been having trust issues with the tech giant amidst its popularity in the region.

According to data collected by app data firm, SensorTower, the Chinese app has been downloaded about 1.9 billion times worldwide. The United States has downloaded the app 172 million times alone.

The popularity of the app has increased in the first quarter of 2020, due to the ongoing pandemic. It was downloaded 307 million times, which is more than any other app in the world.

A TikTok spokesman emphasized that a Beijing-based company did not own TikTok. It is owned by ByteDance Ltd., which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

The spokesperson didn’t further reveal the number of people but said the ‘entity’ owns the popular app and also the businesses in China.

Android is Getting a Rival That Will Change the SmartPhone Market

May 19, 2020: Android is most likely getting a rival that will change the smartphone market. It is one of the most used operating systems in the world installed on over 2.5 billion devices worldwide.

 A third of the world’s population uses Android! 

The bottom line is that Android is widely used across the globe. StatCounter claims that Android alone acquires 70.68% of the mobile OS marketplace.

Previously, the company’s biggest rival during this period was Apple’s iOS, but given the high price point of the devices, it captures only 28.79% of the mobile OS market.

For users across the world, the leading OS choice was always either Apple or Android, but the game is about to change.

Huawei has entered the OS market. The United States announced this week that they are extending Huawei’s contract to do business in the country.

During May 2019, Trump first announced that Huawei was placed on a list of companies American firms were barred from doing business with.

However, Huawei had been given a series of temporary licenses to operate in the country. The latest license has expired on May 15. Whether the company chooses to extend is license further or not, it may decide the time is right to go their own way.

Last year, Huawei shipped 240.6million smartphones, compared to Apple‘s 198.1million, and first-placed Samsung‘s 298.1million smartphone.

Report: Huawei Surpassed Apple to Become 2nd Largest Smartphone Vendor

“The operating systems of Android and Apple have enjoyed massive sales in the world as consumers have become accustomed to them. Huawei is a latecomer, so it would be very difficult to surpass the operating systems of Android and Apple.”

Let us know what you think of how the smartphone market will change with the newest edition in the comment box below.

February 25, 2020: Android happens to be a popular software across the globe, as it is easy to use, mature, and packed with features.

As the days are coming closer to the launch of Android 11, everyone seems to be waiting for the goodies it will bring to the table this time around.

How to Switch from IOS to Android

Many new features will become a part of the latest Android 11, such as the native screen recorder, chat bubbles, and others.

At this point, downloading the newest version is not worth it, as many bugs need to be worked upon.

Android 11

1. Airplane mode that happens to kill BlueTooth will not work anymore. Previously, while activating the airplane mode, the BlueTooth would close, which did not make much sense as plenty of people happen to connect their headphones/AirPods on the plane.

2. If you are someone who uses a screen protector, then this feature will interest you the most. Increase touch sensitivity promotes a better user experience.

3. Conversation bubbles was initially an Android ten feature. However, it will also become a feature of Android 11, adopted by more developers and OEMs shortly.

4. With the newest software update, Android will introduce a Multi-colored Quick Settings icon that will allow you to change the colors of individual quick settings icons.

5. Applications will now be permitted access to certain areas of your Filesystem. Scoped storage is the newest feature that will be introduced, keeping in mind the security concerns with the previous software.

6. Finally, a native screen recorder for android phones! One of the most exciting features for android 11 will be a screen recorder.

7. Don’t you hate it when you receive a notification while you’re recording? Worry no more! The newest Android 11 will not let you mute notifications while you’re recording.

8. More granular back gesture tweaking: Android 11, fortunately, will be allowing sliders to let you control the sensitivity of the back gesture, one for the left side of the screen and other for the right.

9. The newest Android 11 will have better support for curved/waterfall displays, which will allow developers to specify the interactive area of a screen.

10.  Scrolling screenshots are finally rolling out with the newest update.

There are tons of other updates that are anticipated with the newest software update. Stay tuned to Brandsynario for more news and updates on the Android 11.

19th May 2020: World Health Organization (WHO) has recently released a document that emphasizes that disinfectant sprays are harmful. The report comprises of some essential points regarding cleaning and disinfecting.

The authorities warn that spraying disinfectants on streets poses health risks. The practice does not help eliminate the virus.

“Spraying or fumigation of outdoor spaces, such as streets or marketplaces, is not recommended to kill the COVID-19 virus or other pathogens because disinfectant is inactivated by dirt and debris. Even in the absence of organic matter, chemical spraying is unlikely to adequately cover all surfaces for the duration of the required contact time needed to inactivate pathogens.”

Disinfectants can cause different health issues.

Spraying toxic chemicals such as chlorine on humans can cause multiple health conditions such as eye and skin irritation, bronchospasm, and gastrointestinal effects.

“Spraying toxic chemicals can be dangerous for human health as it does not reduce an infected person’s ability to spread the virus through droplets or contact.”

Solar Lockdown: Myths About Freezing Temperatures and Earthquakes Debunked

Solar Lockdown: Myths About Freezing Temperatures and Earthquakes Debunked
Source: Forbes

As we remain quarantined in our homes, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt life as we know it. Scientists have reported that the Sun has also gone into a lockdown of its own kind.

The Sun is said to have gone into a state called the ‘solar minimum’ and is about to enter the most profound period of ‘sunshine recession’ as sunspots are virtually not visible at all. Some reports suggest that it has been almost 100 days this year when the Sun has shown zero sunspots.

Astronomer Dr. Tony Phillips warns,

“Sunspot counts suggest it is one of the deepest of the past century. The Sun’s magnetic field has become weak, allowing extra cosmic rays into the solar system. Excess cosmic rays pose a health hazard to astronauts and polar air travelers, affect the electro-chemistry of Earth’s upper atmosphere, and may help trigger lightning.”

What is a Solar Minimum?

The NASA Science Website states,

“Every 11 years or so, sunspots fade away, bringing a period of relative calm. This is called solar minimum, and it’s a regular part of the sunspot cycle. While intense activity such as sunspots and solar flares subside during solar minimum, that doesn’t mean the Sun becomes dull. Solar activity simply changes form.”

Source: Times Now

Should We Be Worried About the Solar Minimum?

According to a report by NASA Global Climate Change, we should not be worried about freezing temperatures or a mini ice age, earthquakes, or any other problems that the solar minimum of 1600 brought.

Here’s what the report says on the grand solar minimum and the effect of it on climate change in 2020:

“But how big of an effect might a Grand Solar Minimum have? In terms of climate forcing – a factor that could push the climate in a particular direction – solar scientists estimate it would be about -0.1 W/m2, the same impact of about three years of current carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration growth. Thus, a new Grand Solar Minimum would only serve to offset a few years of warming caused by human activities.”

Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels we humans burn are said to be SIX times greater than the possible effects from a Grand Solar Minimum!

The NASA report further states: 

“Even if a Grand Solar Minimum were to last a century, global temperatures would continue to warm. Because more factors than just variations in the Sun’s output change global temperatures on Earth, the most dominant of those today being the warming coming from human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.”

What should we be doing about the solar minimum?

Nothing. There is no need to panic about it. There will be no freezing temperatures, nor would there be any significant changes. Instead, according to NASA, it seems like we should watch out for our greenhouse gas emissions that are genuinely harming the Earth and our environment.

tearjerker movies

Not everyone enjoys a movie that will leave them in tears, but something is comforting about a cathartic cry. Maybe watching a sad film in the middle of a global pandemic isn’t your idea of escapism. Or perhaps you’d rather have another reason to cry it out. Don’t worry; there are happy endings in some of these plot lines – just tread carefully.

Some of these movies will leave you wanting to call your mom, dad, grandma, sister, brother, or best friend. Others will make you want to dip into a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and stay in bed for a few extra hours. Either way, clear your schedule.

Here are 10 of our top picks for you during this lockdown, and we guarantee you will love them all.

1. Pursuit of Happyness

This movie is will certainly leave you sobbing if you’re a softy like me. The tale revolves around Chris Gardner (Will Smith) and his young son (Jaden Smith), who have been evicted from their apartment with nowhere to go. Chris takes on an unpaid internship and does everything he can to ensure that his little family has a better life.

2. A Walk to remember

This probably is the most underrated Nicholas Sparks tear-jerker. Shane West and Mandy Moore star as two teens who are poles apart from each other, but after episodes of drama between them, the two fall head over heels with each other. They might be kids, but their love comes up against some real adult stuff. Plus, the soundtrack of the movie is a treat for your ears.

3. Goodwill Hunting

Will Hunting (Matt Damon) has an impressively high IQ but works as a janitor at MIT. However, after school hours, Will solves an impossible math equation, and his talent is discovered by Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård). But a hiccup comes in between, and Will gets arrested. He then vows to get help from therapist Sean Maguire (Robin Williams).

4. Inside Out

This is a personal favorite, and if you better grab a tissue box because those tears ain’t stopping once you press play on this treat. Nothing quite brings on the feeling like an animated film about them. Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) has a lot of emotions, and this movie examines all of them through cartoon personifications voiced by Amy Poehler, The Office’s Phyllis Smith, Mindy Kaling, and more.

5. The Notebook

How many of you girls grew up in the hopes of finding someone like Noah? Ryan Gosling (Noah) and Rachel McAdams (Allie) received most of the attention in this Nicholas Sparks drama. Still, it was Gena Rowlands and James Garner who brought home the emotional impact of this happy/ sad love story of a couple who genuinely stay together forever.

6. Coco

You should completely trust Disney/Pixar to make an animated kids movie about death that entertains children while reducing adults to sobbing messes. Coco focuses on themes of family and preserving the memory of those who came before you. It’s also visually stunning, taking you through the world of the dead as well as the living.

7. Hitachi

I don’t remember crying so much over any movie, but this. Starring Richard Gere, the plot is based on a true story and is about a professor who finds an abandoned dog and takes him home. Over some time, he forms an unbreakable bond with the dog that most humans are unable to build.

8. The Help

The film and novel recount the story of a young white woman and aspiring journalist Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan and her relationship with two black maids who are the victim of racism.
